After each battalion drew 6,000 people, nine thousand people were left. However, all the troops drawn were basically the rear and right battalions among each battalion. Usually in the battle sequence of each battalion, these two battalions belong to the reserve and flank troops. The front and central battalions, which are truly the main force of the attack, were not drawn.

So although it seems that the number of people in each battalion is less than 10,000, the combat power has not decreased much, but has become more powerful and has stronger mobility.

According to Yang Hu's method, after each battalion retains the combat core, it is equivalent to cutting out redundant troops, so that this part of the troops no longer takes on combat tasks and concentrates on logistics transportation, so that the main force can be put into battle lightly.

Yang Hu made such adjustments mainly based on the deployment of the Shu army in the Nanzhong region. The Shu army did not have much force in the Nanzhong region and was extremely scattered, so the Right Legion did not have to maintain a highly concentrated mode, and to attack the scattered enemies, they had to divide their troops and attack them in different ways.

With the strength after the split, the Wei army was enough to kill the Shu army in seconds.

In fact, this time the enemy encountered in Nanzhong was weaker than the enemies encountered in the previous battles of the Central Army. Not to mention that compared with the Sima Army, even the Jiaozhou Army of Wu was stronger than the Shu Army of Nanzhong.

The biggest enemy that the Central Army encountered this time is probably the only harsh environment.

Since entering the Red River Valley, you can feel a primitive and barbaric aura coming to your face.

Since Jiaozhi County is in the tropical region, there is often no winter, the climate is hot, and the rainfall is abundant, the vegetation here is quite lush, with patches of pristine forests, and the trees grow tall and dense. In the jungle, it often covers the sky and the sun and the moon.

In places without trees, weeds and shrubs also grow freely, and their heights can even be over the top of people's heads.

The infantry battalion that arrived at the Red River Valley in advance did not wait in place, but nervously cut wood and mowed grass. In the valley on the banks of the Red River, a large area of ​​empty areas came.

This is naturally what Yang Hu asked for. After all, this place will become the most lively material transfer center for a long time. All the food and supplies transported from Jiaozhou will be hoarded here first and then transported to Yizhou.

It is obviously inappropriate to have such dense vegetation around it. After all, the Wei army wants to pile up a large amount of food, grass and supplies here, and food, grass and supplies are basically flammable. Once there is a fire in the jungle, wouldn’t it affect the fish in the pond?

Therefore, Yang Hu asked that the Red River Valley and surrounding areas be cleared first, and that no trees or grass should be allowed within a radius of one mile to facilitate subsequent material transportation.

The military assembly and material transportation were basically carried out simultaneously. When the other four battalions continued to arrive at the Red River Valley, the food and supplies supplies were quickly in place. After all, the convenience of water transportation was still very high, and Yang Hu made preparations in advance, so the progress was very smooth.

If a military operation wants to ensure suddenness and concealment, the time control must be precise. The faster the action, the less time it is to give the enemy a guard against. It is very difficult to conceal the situation with such a large scale.

This is also due to the desolate nature of the Southern Central. Even if the Shu army has done a detailed job, it cannot report the information to the senior management in time. As long as the Wei army can seize this opportunity of rapid soldiers, it can completely catch the Shu army in the Southern Central off guard.

After the fifth battalion's troops gathered, Yang Hu immediately announced his plan to divide the troops. Each battalion would draw two troops to be responsible for logistics support, while the other three departments could be responsible for the attack without any hesitation.

The generals of each battalion had no opinion. It was indeed a relatively distant journey from here to Chengdu. Without practical logistical support, the closer the army would push north, the greater the difficulties. In the end, the food and grass were cut off and the supply difficulties were difficult, and there would be no way to fight.

Yang Hu's method is also quite good. Although it will affect and weaken the combat effectiveness of each battalion to a certain extent, combined with the situation of the Shu army, to be honest, this impact is completely numb, and the greatest impact on the Wei army's conquests did not come from the Shu army in the South Central, but from the complex and harsh natural environment in the South Central.

Therefore, all the generals agreed with Yang Hu's plan. After the generals of each battalion returned, they quickly pulled out two troops and returned to the deputy governor Wen Qin to coordinate.

This time, Yang Hu arranged for Wen Qin to governor the logistics affairs. This northern expedition to the South Central was completely different from the ordinary war. Not only did the logistics affairs be concentrated to be operated by 30,000 to 40,000 people, but ordinary logistics officials could no longer assume such important responsibilities. At least they had to need someone like the deputy governor of the army to take charge.

Zhang Tong, the two deputy governors of the Central Army, was promoted by a new talent, and his qualifications and experience were far from the other deputy governor Wen Qin.

Wen Qin is a veteran figure in the Wei army. He served as a military captain in the early years. At that time, the General of the Cavalry was Cao Yan, the father of Cao Liang, the father of Gaolingting. After the Gaopingling Incident, Wen Qin followed the Cavalry Camp to Bingzhou, while Wen Qin replaced the fallen Cao Yan and became the new general of the Cavalry Camp.

After decades of military career, Wen Qin is now gray-haired and over 60 years old, so this time Yang Hu did not arrange for him to take on the charge, but instead took charge of logistics.

Yang Hu also had communication with Wen Qin in advance and discussed this matter. According to Wen Qin's idea, he was of course more willing to lead the army and charge. However, Yang Hu talked about the importance of the logistics of this combat, and Wen Qin accepted this job and fully managed the military's logistics affairs.

Wen Qin was over 60 years old, and although he was willing to do so, he was not able to say so. Yang Hu's arrangement was actually a good job for Wen Qin, at least he didn't have to fight and kill on the battlefield, but gave the job of charging to the slightly younger Zhang Tong.

Of course, this was carefully considered by Yang Hu. Zhang Tong was young and motivated. When Wang Jun was transferred to serve as the navy commander, Cao Liang clearly stated that the position of deputy governor who was vacant must be promoted from within the Central Army, so that the Central Army can be more convenient to implement reasonable control of the Central Army.

As soon as this order was issued, the Central Army was filled with joy. Zhang Tong was lucky to become the deputy governor of the Central Army because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Huainan.
