The emperor issued a general in Xishan and sent troops to Longyou in autumn.

Because of the journey, it was already late autumn when Gongsun Xun's main force arrived at the border of Weijun... The grass and trees withered and yellow, the leaves fell back to their roots, and the autumn pond that had soared before would gradually dry up from this time until a new rotation arrived next year.

However, as the saying goes, high autumn horses are fat, due to the circulation of natural climate and the laws of agricultural production, the army in northern China is in its best state at this time.

The war is on fire, accompanied by autumn leaves falling, and the autumnal striking soldiers on the battlefield is not a false statement.

On the border of Wei County and Zhao State, Yuan Shao, who was backed by the 19 counties of Qing, Yan and Ji State, invested a real 100,000 people in one go, which was a huge one. However, Gongsun Xun gathered the elite troops of You, Ji and Sanfu, and the three auxiliary countries, and had a total of 50,000 war soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers. Including Shen Pei, Guan Yu, Dong Zhao, Zhang Fei and other troops who were originally on the front line, they actually reached about 100,000 people.

Moreover, since there were more than 20,000 cavalry in Youzhou's army, and even tens of thousands of horses and oxes were installed as support, the grand and vast army formation was far superior to the other side. This made the army move forward, and many people in the army were still full of courage.

Back in front of me, on the morning of that day, several miles southeast of Handan City, when Gongsun Xun flashed from behind Jize, gathered Shen Pei, who had hurriedly sent troops from Handan City. He learned about the military situation in front and knew about Guan Yu, Zhang Fei actually bit the main force of the cavalry that Wen Chou had broken. He was happy and immediately ordered that the more than 20,000 cavalrymen outside Baima Yicong should be removed from the battle. It is necessary to take the opportunity to kill the main force of Yuan's cavalry led by Wen Chou to create better conditions for the decisive battle... Then he led the local important officials, senior officers, and close staff who transferred to the Baima, and led the infantry formation to move slowly forward and approach south.

By noon, when the army arrived not far from where the battle had already begun in front of them, news came that the 8,000 cavalrymen of Wen Chou had been bitten by the main force of the Youzhou cavalry and were fighting on the whole line... As soon as the military situation arrived, everyone in the white horse jungle showed joy.

However, when Gongsun Xun, who was talking to Shen Mai under the umbrella in the center, heard the news, he first looked around, but suddenly turned around immediately, stared at the endless edge behind him, slowly looking at the military formation like a forest for a moment, and then shook his head for a while.

This action was too deliberate. Shen Pei was beside him, and he frowned and asked: "Why did Junhou shake his head? But where was the arrangement in the army wrong? Or was there any omission behind him?"

"No." Gongsun Xun turned around and laughed when he heard the sound. "It was just that he just heard Zhengnan talk about Yuan Shao's troops, and then he turned around and saw the soldiers behind him. He thought that the number of our troops in this battle was not much smaller than that of the opponent, and the military appearance was too grand, so he was just a little worried..."

As soon as this was said, Dong Zhao looked at each other, Lou Gui and Xun You were silent, but Tian Feng couldn't help asking everyone: "What are the words of lords? Is it a bad thing to have more soldiers than the opponent? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a strong defeat of the weak, and a more defeat of the few!"

"Yuan Hao only knows one thing but not the other. The words of strength and weakness are limited." Gongsun Xun sighed and simply responded immediately. "As below 100,000, the key to military strategy is indeed how to allocate troops so that more and less attacks can be achieved in the local area; and once the troops on both sides are more than 100,000, the more and more, the stronger the more and weaker it is... Think about it, since ancient times, starting from the Muye War of Zhou Wu's Battle against Shang, the battle to truly determine the world's general trend, except for the battle of Changping, are all the other things that are defeated by the few soldiers? Are there all those with less than 100,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 soldiers and more?"

In addition to the cavalry generals who were ordered to lead the cavalry to attack, many civil and military officials and generals and staff were surrounded by them. After hearing this, they thought carefully, but they were all despised.

Because, although Gongsun Xun's words sound unreasonable, if you think about it carefully, you are not right at all!

Since ancient times, in the major battles that directly influenced the direction of Chinese history, except for the Battle of Changping, which had doubts about troops, all other battle examples were really counted as one. All those with few soldiers won, and those with more than one hundred thousand soldiers were defeated:

In the Battle of Muye, Jiang Taigong rushed into three thousand tigers, hundreds of thousands of slaves turned against each other and drifted blood;

During the Battle of Julu, all the princes watched the walls. Xiang Yu used tens of thousands of Chu troops to destroy the boats and defeated the Qin army for 400,000;

In the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite cavalry attacked and drove away 560,000 coalition forces of the princes in one battle;

In the Battle of Jingxing, Han Xin defeated Zhao's army with 10,000 new soldiers with 100,000;

In the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu's rebel army was only 20,000 yuan, but he was able to defeat the Xinmang army in one battle...

And this has happened, and it was known to Shen Pei, Dong Zhao, Cheng Pu, Gao Shun and others, but they didn't know, in fact, it was more than that... In another time and space, the winners of the three decisive battles in the late Han Dynasty, the Cao army in the Battle of Guandu, the Sun and Liu coalitions in the Battle of Chibi, the Wu army in the Battle of Yiling, and even the Eastern Jin and Northern Prefectures in the Battle of Feishui, the Li Shimin's troops in the Battle of Hulaoguan during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Tang army in the Battle of Li Jing's defeat of the Turks, and finally won almost all of them with fewer troops there, and none of these winners invested more than 100,000 troops at one time!

"Dare you ask me, why is this?" Cheng Pu, the chief general of the army, who did not understand what survivor deviation, couldn't help but ask.

"This matter is simple, but it is really useless if there are too many soldiers." Gongsun Xun laughed and replied half-true and half-falsely. "In a decisive battle in a county, it will be over if it is 100,000 people at a time. If there are more, once it is delayed, then logistics supply, military management, command division, and even local water and soil will not be able to withstand... It is not that it cannot forcefully allocate more troops in one place, but the extra soldiers may not be able to participate in the war. Instead, it will affect the logistics and delay command. In terms of victory or defeat, it will definitely do more harm than good."

"So that's it," Dong Zhao suddenly woke up as he heard Gongsun Xun's sophistry that he didn't know the truth and falsehood, and couldn't help but smile immediately. "The king and the prince didn't think he had too many soldiers, but he thought Yuan Benchu ​​had too few soldiers..."

"Yes, in fact, for the population of counties and states led by Yuan Benchu ​​and the arsenal reserves obtained by me, a hundred thousand troops are really easy to get back on. Only Yuan Benchu ​​knew that he could only defeat me by measure, but he was still able to stay awake. He did not blindly gather in Wei County after the autumn harvest when the troops were sufficient. It was considered that I underestimated him..." While speaking, Gongsun Xun looked at the smoke and dust that could be seen in front of him. He listened to the neighing sound of war horses that could be heard. He was a little moved, but he directly pulled his horse and turned to a hill high ground. The surrounding staff followed him, and a bunch of intermediate officers and officers immediately dispersed at the instructions of Cheng Pu, commanding the troops to station around the hill. There were Zhang Nan and the two generals of Jiao Chu each led three thousand infantry to advance together, which was a forerunner.

When Gongsun Xun set his ground on the hill, the man pointed to the scene of the cavalry melee vaguely visible in front of him, and Su Rong continued to say, "However, my words are not just about complimenting Yuan Shao. The most important sentence is that you hope that you can think about it in the opposite direction... A hundred thousand people are enough to determine the general trend of the world! If a prince has the capital to support a 100,000 army, or simply tens of thousands of troops to fight to the death, no matter what the situation in the world is, the strength and weakness are clear, the man will be qualified to win the world... This battle is not to be careless, and although our army is strong, we should not be able to underestimate the other side at all!"

Everyone finally realized that, not to mention the absurd remarks that the soldiers would be defeated by more than 100,000 soldiers, their lords were mainly worried about the arrogant attitude in the army, so they beat each other a few times before the battle. So everyone looked solemnly, then turned to the south and carefully observed the situation of the battle.

However, when everyone looked at it, except that they could see that the battlefield ahead was particularly fierce, they could not see clearly the direction of the battle... This was also impossible. Yuan Shao suddenly woke up and retreated, but he allowed two unprecedentedly large armies to kick off the battle in a strange mode of rear-end collision on the plain.

One side was 8,000 cavalry, but behind them were 30,000 troops formed a formation of chariots to serve as a response; the other side was more than 20,000 cavalry who suddenly ordered them to rush forward and rushed out... Both sides were in a hurry to fight and had no time to make large-scale tactical actions, so they all ran back and forth on the fertile fields between Handan City and Liangqi City in units of the symposium, and then rode, pricked, trampled, and lived or died.

This combat mode made the battle range between the two sides immediately spread rapidly into the front line more than ten miles wide in a flat pattern between Chen Gong's car array and Gongsun Xun's army. A man stood on a small earth slope. It would be strange if he could see clearly what was going on!

But on the other hand, since the bystanders can't even see clearly, what exquisite tactical actions can the warrior make? In the melee, it is destined to mean that those with more soldiers, those with strong soldiers are better than those with less soldiers, and those with weak soldiers!

Even though Gongsun Xun had just beaten this battle, everyone still firmly believed that the Youzhou army would definitely win. After all, 20,000 to 8,000, isn’t this the limit of 100,000 people? I think the old principles are still useful at this time.

"Please be careful of raids!" Everyone stopped on the slope and watched for a while. Xun You suddenly spoke and whispered. "Our cavalry is stronger and more. Wen Chou should have stopped him and retreated immediately. At this time, he was still risking huge casualties and delaying his departure. He must have had some intentions... And in this situation, the only person who could do it was Ming Gong himself, and the rest were not worth worrying about!"

Many people under the White Horse immediately woke up.

"If this is the case, I underestimated Wen Chou." Gongsun Xun was stunned when he heard this, but immediately became distracted. "But it's okay. When this expedition is launched, all the generals have their own responsibilities. Cheng De planned to be the chief general of our central army and was directly responsible for the general of the military advisors to take charge of the march and formation; Pang Lingming was the general general of Yicheng, and the guards in the front were him and Jicheng; Han Yuansi was the central guard and supervised the generals... I think the three of them did a good job. Since this is the case, why should we worry about the surprise attack?"

Of course, Gongsun Xun was a commendation, and he observed the forbidden avant-garde troops and the solemn white horse Yi from the bottom of his heart. But with his words, the three people mentioned were still as big as a fight. Cheng Pu had already arranged avant-garde troops, but at this time he could not help but order the mobilization of Gao Shun and his troops to move forward and hide behind Xiaopo; and Pang De simply ordered Yi Cheng to inspect the weapons and prepare for battle; even Han Hao immediately reorganized the ritual system of the Central Army.

However, before the three generals could be dealt with again, a cavalry of thousands of people suddenly surged out from the smoke and dust in the right front, and their troops covered their flags, covering their armor and robes. They were taking advantage of the chaos of the battlefield and trying to cross the small slope at a slightly tilted angle.

At first glance, it was like a Youzhou cavalry that had ended its hard battle and was trying to cross the small slope and go to the other side to find the enemy to fight.

However, when the troops arrived at Cheng Pu arranged to flank the vanguard troops on the front right of Xiaopo, they suddenly raised the flag without any surprise under the cold eyes of the generals of the Youzhou Army. Then they directly tried to break the vanguard troops and charged in front of Gongsun Xun's umbrella. Everyone glanced clearly that the flag on the back of the iron-armored general was exactly the word "wen"!

There is no doubt that this is what Xun You reminded before. Wen Chou risked huge casualties and wanted to achieve extraordinary achievements!

Cheng Pu and Pang De almost sneered together, and then Cheng Demou took the lead in stepping forward and ordered Jiao Chu to lead his troops to resist the other party, and mobilized heavy troops from behind to prepare to cover the other party; but Pang De turned his head and looked at Gongsun Xun and asked for a sign.

"Start the righteousness from the main force." Gongsun Xun looked at the situation in the distance, and immediately ordered after a little thought. "But no war is allowed. Go down and go back immediately, and go directly behind Zhang Sima Jun Formation on the left..."

Pang De immediately woke up and immediately activated most of the meaning to go from the lower right. For a moment, the white horse was like a forest, but also galloped like a tiger, with great momentum.

You should know that the attacking troops were already difficult to break through the vanguard troops arranged by the Youzhou Army. At this time, when they saw the world-famous white horse Yi coming from the sky, vaguely gathering the infantry to swallow all of them, it was even more shocking and scattered for a while.

However, the general under the large-scale banner of the text was not surprised and happy when he saw that he failed to attack and was even at risk of being surrounded and annihilated. Instead, he turned around and cut off his own banner with his own hands to show his determination.

However, as the man acted like this, Pang De immediately turned his horse's head and turned around in front of the front line. He threw down the more than a thousand Yuan army cavalry in front of Xiaopo and rushed straight to the left.

The General Yuan, who cut off the banner, immediately turned pale, but it was too late.

Speaking of which, as early as the White Horse Yi tilted down from the main, there were only a few hundred Yi rushes on the small slope of Gongsun Xun's horse. A cavalry unit with only more than a hundred people appeared in front of the left side of the small slope, but it looked like a song of Youzhou cavalry that discovered Yuan's army's movement turned around to rescue.

When the white horse Yi rushed down completely and seemed to be about to plunge into the more than a thousand Yuan cavalry, the cavalry with more than a hundred people turned the horse's head and took advantage of the small number of people to move quickly through the narrow gaps on the flanks of the vanguard troops and rushed straight to the mountain. If someone in the Youzhou army knew Wen Chou, he would find that the Yuan cavalry general was wearing only one piece of ordinary iron armor, but was in this small-scale team.

Not only that, almost everyone in this Yuan army cavalry, which had only more than a hundred people, was equipped with iron armor, and was by no means an ordinary person.

But unfortunately, Wen Chou's wonderful performance was destined to be in vain with Xun You's amazing preliminary judgment and the Youzhou Army's early preparations. Before his troops reached the slope, countless white horse cavalry that seemed to be rushing out had already turned to his flank. Next, with Gongsun Xun waved his hand again, Zhang Nan led the left vanguard troops to close the retreat route of the army, and the remaining hundreds of Yi Cong who had already prepared were also pounced on the front under Zhang Ji's leadership, as if he wanted to protect them from three sides and wipe out all these generations.

Seeing that things were not done, Wen Chou looked up and sighed, and actually dismounted and abandoned his troops, saying that he would surrender, and was willing to be bound! More than a hundred iron-armored knights, as well as more than a thousand knights who were in a guise but fell into the Jedi, were shocked, and many others dismounted and surrendered.

Cheng Pu, Pang De and others surrounded the front, and while binding the surrendered soldiers, they flew to report their lords. Gongsun Xun had already seen Wen Chou pulling people off the horse on the slope, and was shocked and suspicious. At this time, he could only look around and ask for opinions.

"I think my subordinates cannot accept his surrender!" Shen Pei immediately supported the knife and took the initiative. "Looking at the fact that he was so scheming today, he seemed to be a person who did his best to Yuan Shao. If he failed to attack and surrender, he might be more likely to be unwilling to be willing to approach the king and the prince, intend to assassinate, or prepare to re-emerge at the critical moment... The decisive battle is imminent, so he must not stay!"

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, thinking about something.

"The subordinates thought that they should still be surrendered, and they should be given the old subordinates and him, and they should also have high officials and generous salaries." Tian Feng immediately put forward a completely opposite suggestion from his old friend. "The decisive battle is imminent, and the surrender of the general is enough to shock the enemy... If you are worried about the repeated recurrence of the person, you can drive away after being surrendered, but you do not need to kill him. Otherwise, why would the people in the world look at the general's mind? Even Yuan Jun in front of him, will he have the ambition to mourn the soldiers after hearing this?"

Gongsun Xun frowned slightly, and he was really embarrassed... because he really didn't believe that Wen Chou, a confidant who had followed Yuan Shao for a long time, would surrender to him, but what Tian Feng said was very reasonable!

Killing is a pleasure, and it can eliminate future troubles, but it is inevitable that it will be incompetent, and it may even enhance the enemy's fighting spirit; if you don't kill, this person is brave and cunning... Gongsun said that Xu Huang is not the opponent of this person, and Zhao Yun has not decided on the victory or defeat with this person for dozens of rounds. That is, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Liao attacked together, and they relied on the surprise attack to kill him in one battle. Looking at today's battle, he should also be a wise person... So where can you rest assured to such a person?

So, in a dilemma, Gongsun Xun looked at Lou Gui, Xun You and Dong Zhao again.

Lou Gui and Xun You were silent for a moment, Dong Zhao thought for a moment but suddenly laughed, which made everyone look at each other: "It's just a defeated general who cannot be used. What's the embarrassment of the king? In the future, why not return him to Yuan Benchu ​​in public so that everyone in the world can know the king's demeanor?"

Everyone was stunned, but Gongsun Xun was stunned at first, but then laughed loudly.

By the way, this cavalry battle was a sudden encounter and a temporary outbreak. As Wen Chou's surprise attack failed, he was also captured. Most of the Yuan cavalry collapsed immediately and fled into the chariot behind him. This opening battle ended here.

After a while, the cavalry generals in the front also sent their feathered armored soldiers to report, saying that the smoke and dust were rolling in the south. Yuan Benchu ​​had personally led the main army to aid Chengong and had gathered the chariot formation. The generals in the front dared not move without permission and requested instructions.

Gongsun Xun immediately ordered to withdraw his troops immediately, cut off the rear with cavalry, retreat to Handan, and build a village with the front camp of Yuan's army. At the same time, he sent Ju Zong as an envoy to meet Yuan Shao, and issued a letter of war, and made an appointment to fight to the decisive battle.

Although Yuan Shao was slightly frustrated and also general Zhe (who was unable to determine the whereabouts of Wen Chou), he did not show any weakness and immediately replied to Ju Zong, who fought in Liangqi three days later, in the middle of Handan, which is where the cavalry fights today.

Of course, both sides agreed at the same time that there were many casualties and injuries on both sides today, and they promised that the other party would return to the battlefield to save lives and help the wounded, collect corpses and summon souls, and not attack each other during the period.

———I am the dividing line that cannot be attacked——

"Wen Chou is the general of Shao. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan's family attacked Taizu and fought in Liangqi. At that time, Taizu's 100,000 soldiers arrived suddenly. Chou Ji 8,000 people cut off the rear. They fought hard and could not escape. So they went back north and attacked Taizu's central army. They killed and injured very much. Only more than a hundred cavalry were trapped in front of the central army... Taizu loved his bravery and strategy, but knew that he could not defeat his ambition, so he sighed and said, "The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition!" So he made an appointment to return to Yuan, and Chou abandoned his troops and was tied up." - "New Book of Yan". The first family of the family is the first.
