"Impossible!" Ma Teng looked at the circle drawn by Guo Jia, and these three words flashed through his heart.

He was a wise man. He used the combat power of Hebei to defeat Xiahou Yuan, Luoyang, but it was absolutely impossible to defeat the six counties of Yingchuan, Runan, Peiguo, Jiujiang, Xiapi, and Guangling before Xu Yan's main force returned to the aid, and complete the large siege of Cao and Liu.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Biao in Nanyang and Sun Ce in Jiujiang would not sit idly by. He would inevitably lead troops north to fight the troops. At that time, no matter whether they were cut off from the rear or were restrained, they would be the end of defeat and hatred.

He looked at Ma Qiang anxiously, hoping that Ma Qiang could stand up and question this crazy plan.

He just made up his mind to take his whole family to this carriage in Hebei, but he didn't want it to be destroyed so soon.

But what disappointed him was that Ma Qiang not only did not mean to object, but also had a look of praise in his eyes, and seemed to support such a strategic plan very much.

Although Jia Xu and others had some doubts in their eyes, they all looked at Guo Jia in a belief, as if they felt that since Guo Jia proposed such an idea, they would definitely be able to do it.

Are these people... crazy?

Ma Teng couldn't help it, and he said, "Chief Staff Guo, your plan is very good, but do you know how far the way is?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Of course I know that starting from Luoyang, passing through Qiyuan Pass and entering Yingchuan, passing through Yingshui into Runan, passing through Shouchun into Huai River, and directly to Guangling, there are two thousand miles of water and dry roads!"

Ma Teng breathed, it turned out that you still knew.

"Two thousand miles, even if you march forty miles a day, you will have to go fifty days. Cao Cao and Liu Bei should return to help even if they are slow.

Moreover, Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Sun Ce from Yangzhou can be promoted to the north at any time. Once the retreat of the troops is cut off, it will be the result of the entire army being wiped out!

We in Hebei can obviously defeat him with a dignified and upright teacher, so why should we take risks?”

Ma Teng didn't understand. In fact, it was not only Ma Teng who didn't understand, but even Guo Jia, who made this strategic plan, did not understand.

Since the Battle of Liaodong, the general seems to have changed and no longer be slow, as if something terrible is chasing him from behind, eager to reform and pacify the world.

In fact, at the beginning, Guo Jia proposed the idea of ​​Ma Qiang to capture one city and one land. After all, Hebei is strong and the Central Plains is weak, and it will not last for ten years at most. The world will definitely be pacified by Hebei.

Ten years is not long, after all, Ma Qiang has not even arrived even thirty.

But Ma Qiang's request was to pacify the world within three years, which forced Guo Jia to take risks.

But even if you are in danger, you are not in danger at will.

Guo Jia also explained to everyone, "Let's talk about Liu Biao first. Based on the reliable information we have obtained, Changsha Prefect Zhang Xian is contacting the counties in Jingnan to respond to the court and break up with Liu.

Zhang Xian is quite famous in Jingnan. Not to mention going north, whether Liu Biao can defend Jingzhou is a question. If we don’t hit him, he should burn the incense.

Besides, when Sun Ce was in the Peishui Alliance, Yangzhou Governor Liu Yao also wanted to join the alliance, but the mission sent by Sun Ce was intercepted and killed. Therefore, as long as the emperor issued an edict, he would definitely fight Sun Ce to death.

In addition, Lu Yi has already gained a foothold in Zhoushan and gathered more than 3,000 troops. He will raise an army to attack Wujun at that time. As long as he cooperates well, Sun Ce will find it difficult to escape and go north."

Ma Teng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the tentacles in Hebei would stretch so long. In this way, Liu Biao and Sun Ce would really be too busy to take care of themselves.

"But if there are two thousand miles apart, as long as one or two cities cannot be conquered, it will delay the time. Maybe this channel will not be opened for half a year. So what should I do?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Can't beat it? Then don't beat it!"

"What?" Ma Teng's eyes widened.

Not to fight?

You said it lightweight!

"Not fighting? How can I get over?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Of course, I just go around directly. General Fubo, look at the topographic map. After entering Yingchuan from Luoyang, the terrain began to gradually become flat. There were no mountains that allowed the bandits to guard the dangerous situation. Although these cities had some waterways, even if they could not open up the waterways for the time being, the impact was only on transporting grain and not on the army's way.

In this way, I will first talk about the overall combat plan. The entire combat is divided into three stages.

The first stage is the stage of luring the enemy. The goal is to try to attract Xu and Yan troops to Qingzhou as far as possible to make Yuzhou empty and prepare for subsequent interludes.

In the first stage, since Cao Cao and Liu Bei attacked in separate ways, they would be divided into two battlefields, respectively, Duan Envoy Duan of the Plain and Commander of the Lin Army in Beihai.

In order to confuse the thief army, the first stage of the eastern front was led by the Third Corps, which was already stationed in Qingzhou. The First Army and the Tenth Army of the First Corps moved to the Bohai and Qinghe counties. Unless the plains and the two cities of Qingdao were to be broken, no matter what the battle situation in Qingzhou is in danger!

On the western front, the Seventh Corps was responsible for borrowing the natural danger of Tongguan to attract Xiahou Yuan’s troops to concentrate westward.

At the same time, the remaining five cavalry divisions in our Hebei except for the third and sixth cavalry divisions, as well as the 9th Army of Zhang He, the 13th Army of Yan Liang, and the 2nd Army of Huaxiong moved to the two counties of Henoi and Hedong.

In addition, the Guards Army was concentrated in Guangzong to prevent accidents.

The second stage is the interspersion stage. Needless to say, the eastern front is still to lure the enemy deep into the east. On the western front, it is necessary to quickly attack and destroy Xiahou Yuan's army, and then go out to the Qiyuan Pass to conduct a large interspersion, in order to surround the main force of the Xu Yan army.

The third stage is the annihilation stage. The various troops work together to siege the main force of Xu and Yan, and in one battle it will destroy the three prefectures of Xu, Yan, Henan and Hongnong counties!”

After Guo Jia finished talking about the entire combat plan, he said, "Then I will solve the doubts for General Fu Bo.

This time, the General Staff planned to dispatch five of the seven cavalry divisions in Hebei, and also convened Wuhuan and 20,000 Yisong of the Xiongnu, and concentrated 70,000 cavalry to carry out large-scale interweaving operations.

In addition, there will be 30,000 infantrymen of the second, ninth and thirteenth armies as follow-up troops.

In other words, when the cavalry faces cities in various places, they can go down if they can go down. If they can't go down, they go around the city. They will have their own subsequent infantry to attack and detonate slowly.

In this way, our army's propulsion speed will be greatly improved. According to the calculations of our General Staff, starting from the exit of the sacred gate, the daily propulsion speed will be no less than one hundred miles!"

The advancement speed of the cavalry is completely different from that of the infantry.

The Mongolian cavalry in history could rush to 90 kilometers per day, while infantry was not the case. For example, the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were mixed infantry and cavalry forces. In the battle of Shanhaiguan, which determines their destiny, they could only walk 400 kilometers day and night, with an average of only 35 kilometers per day.

If Ma Qiang and Guo Jia want to complete the encirclement in Cao Cao and Liu Bei reacted to complete the encirclement, he had to abandon the tactics of the infantry-based army of the Central Plains and choose the cavalry raid tactics on the grassland. This kind of large cavalry tactics has not appeared in the previous Central Plains Wars.

In the past, when the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony, Liu Bang captured Pengcheng, the governor of Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was in Qi at that time. He led 30,000 elite cavalry to gallop south, rushing 300 miles day and night, killing Liu Bang's more than 500,000 coalition forces to only more than ten cavalry left. If Xiao He was not the powerful one in the rear, Liu Bang would have to fight GG on the spot.
