Chapter 1,297: Difficulties of Advance and Retreat
Early the next morning, Lu Bu, escorted by two thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, angrily headed towards Wei County. During their discussion last night, a general suddenly raised a question. Yuan Shao must not have wanted Zhao Jun to do so now. To retreat, if this is the case, then send a general with five thousand cavalry here, and the rest of the cavalry will return to Bingzhou, so as to silence the Wei monarchs and ministers.
After careful consideration, Lu Bu decided to lead the troops in person and stay in Hebei. The main reason was that he was afraid that if other generals were left behind, he might not be able to withstand the pressure of Wei's monarchs and ministers, and in the end all the cavalry would be buried in Hebei, and Lu Bu If you personally lead the troops, you are not afraid of this situation, and the number of five thousand soldiers is not enough. Therefore, if all of them cannot be withdrawn to Bingzhou in the end, then Lu Bu will personally lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and leave more than 8,000 uninjured cavalry who can continue to participate in the battle. All the remaining injured soldiers returned to Bingzhou with Cao Xing.
Just when Lu Bu angrily went to find trouble with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao had already received information about Zhao Jun's losses. Yuan Shao and his ministers were shocked at the news that Zhao Jun's 30,000-strong army only returned more than 10,000. However, they have now I thought that Lu Bu would probably take this opportunity to ask for a withdrawal.
At this time, Zhao Yun had already led most of the Tang Army's cavalry, escorting all the wounded towards Yecheng. Of course, those seriously wounded who were really not suitable to continue to move could only be treated at Fukou Pass, waiting for them. After he got better, he was transferred to Yecheng to continue recuperating.
On the night of the cavalry battle between Tang and Zhao in Hebei, after Zhao Yun returned to Fukou Pass, he immediately wrote the entire battle and the results in a pigeon letter and memorial, and quickly sent it back to Yecheng, where it was forwarded to Huangfu Chaobo of Chen Liu. .
By the time Huangfu Chaobo received the pigeon letter, it was already early in the morning. After receiving the pigeon letter from Zhao Yun, Huangfu Chaobo immediately summoned Guo Jia. While the two discussed possible changes after the war, they waited for the detailed battle report to be sent quickly from behind.
By early morning, Zhao Yun's memorial was escorted by a team of cavalry and delivered to Huangfu Chaobo. Along with it were Lu Su's guesses about the changes that might be caused by the war, as well as related ideas for subsequent war arrangements.
In Lu Su's view, after this battle, although his cavalry suffered heavy losses, Zhao Jun's losses could also be described as broken bones. So if nothing unexpected happened, in the next period of time, Lu Bu It should not be easy to challenge the Tang Army's cavalry, and without the coordination of the Zhao Army's elite cavalry, Wei's current cavalry should not dare to engage in large-scale battles with their own cavalry. However, they will definitely guard against other cities. of reinforcements.
Based on the current situation, the army is basically on the defensive. If the Wei army's cavalry blockade cannot be broken, it will be difficult to send reinforcements.
Guo Jia also agreed with Lu Su's idea, so he also agreed that the cavalry would rest temporarily. After Hua Xiong's troops arrived, they would then fight against the Wei and Zhao coalition cavalry to seize the initiative on the battlefield. The Zhao cavalry should also be in full swing now. It's time to take a break.
"Fengxiao, how about sending 20,000 Guards troops to Hebei alone, using them as cavalry, and confronting Lu Bu's cavalry when they suffer the greatest losses?" Huangfu Chaobo also knows the current plan. , it was the best arrangement to wait for Hua Xiong’s cavalry to come back, but he was still unwilling to do so and asked Guo Jia;
"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Yanzhou's military strength is not sufficient now. If your Majesty sends all 20,000 guards to Hebei, how should we respond if the war situation in Yanzhou changes?" Hearing this, Guo Jia quickly stopped him;
This is the biggest helplessness of Huangfu Chaobo's Tang State. Although Tang State is the largest vassal state in the world, it is faced with enemies on all sides. Especially this time, the timing of sending troops by various countries was really good.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty was faced with enemies on four sides and war started in four places at the same time. No one could cover everything. New 81 Chinese website is the fastest updated computer version:
Under the current circumstances, the 20,000 Guards troops in Huangfu Chaobo's hands are the Tang State's last trump card. They cannot be easily thrown into the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary. The current situation in Hebei is far from the point where it is necessary to invest 20,000 Guards troops, so Guo Jia is firmly opposed to doing so. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Huangfu Chaobo had no choice but to give up this idea and said instead: "In this case, there are still more than 30,000 cavalry in the Wei and Zhao coalition forces, and the cavalry in General Zhao's hands can only use more than 20,000, even if In addition, Hua Xiong's 7,000 cavalry cannot gain an advantage over the coalition forces, so Gu is planning to send Hongnong's 5,000 cavalry to Wei County. Does Fengxiao think it is feasible? "
"This is a very good move, and cavalry is difficult to train, especially in the Wei State. War horses are rare, and Zhao State has a small population. Therefore, the king should give an order to General Zhao Yun to annihilate as many as possible while having the upper hand. The country’s cavalry is ready for the continued war.”
Guo Jia's words made Huangfu Chaobo's eyes light up. If the population of Zhao State is too small and the cavalry losses are too large, although he has enough horses, he has insufficient manpower, making it difficult to replenish the loss of troops. On the contrary, Wei State has a vast territory. There are many people, but the only way to buy war horses is from Zhao. In addition, Jizhou soldiers are good at infantry, so it is more difficult to train them.
But it is different for myself. Yanbei County now has a sufficient population. After such a long period of hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Qingzhou, the originally tough and unusual Qingzhou people have made great progress in their riding skills, so they are the subsequent cavalry of the Tang Army. The most powerful supplement.
After writing the order three times, Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered: "Okay, Shi A, send it to Hongnong and Weijun immediately!"
"No!" Shi A immediately took the order and left.
After Shi'a retreated, Huangfu Chaobo asked again: "How is the situation in other places?"
"According to the pigeon message sent yesterday, on the Lujiang River, the Wu army has arrived at Anfeng City and began to attack Anfeng City defended by General Ji Ling. Runan's army has reinforced the defense of the Huai River Floating Bridge. In a short time It should be impossible for Wu Jun to achieve good results in Lujiang County."
"As for Yanzhou, the Qi State army has been attacking Changyi City for five or six days. There should be no problem with the defense of Changyi City for the time being. In the directions of Puyang and Pei State, although Qi State has also assembled tens of thousands of troops, However, they all lead to nothing. The opinion of the minister is still that the two groups of soldiers and horses are just to contain the soldiers and horses of the two places. Of course, if there are defense loopholes in the two places, I believe Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren will definitely seize the opportunity. "
"In other words, the only solution now is to wait in Chenliu and then respond depending on the changes in the battle situation." Huangfu Chaobo sighed;
