Chapter 138 The fierce people who participated in the meeting

King Huyan was stunned immediately, why is this a meeting, is this a chatter? Caused myself to run hundreds of kilometers frantically. However, these people are still different from chattering, because when they haven't seen the fellow chattering, they are thinking about it, and they are very nervous.

Since there weren't many people attending the meeting, Hu Yan looked at them one by one - oh my god, he knew all of them. These people are clearly the core of the Zhongping Group's core, and all of them are important ministers. On Zhong Ping's left is his younger brother, General Zhong Ting. His face was rather dark, he took off his helmet, his curly hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and Hu Yan felt that he could smell the stench on his body from far away. ——And this person has a tired face and dark circles under his eyes. He seems to be quite tired and nervous for a while. Of course, it is understandable that everyone is tired of dealing with hundreds of thousands of soldiers all day long.

Hu Yan had not planned to attend the meeting. Staying safe on your own site, if you enter Zhongping's site and are detained by Zhongping, it will be called Tiantian's failure, and the ground should not be. But——he saw the fallen troops on his own lot, even though the small patrols at that time were probably Lu Bu's. Hu Yan panicked at that time. His site was close to the depths of the grassland, and it was 108,000 miles away from the Central Plains. How could there be a fallen army? Hu Yan immediately chose to move his army and mobile capital closer to the four Hexi counties, which would be a little safer. Because Hu Yan is more timid, he is more cautious. 937, so he made a reconnaissance far away. The results of the reconnaissance shocked the prince. According to the report of the scouts, a large number of fallen troops were mobilized near the four counties in Hexi. . As for how many, the scouts don't know, just a lot. Because they did not dare to enter for reconnaissance, for fear of being discovered. In fact, it was wise to do so, because once they entered, they would definitely be discovered by the fallen troops.

Naturally, the prince did not dare to conceal such a big matter and reported it to Zhongping. The encounter report of the Prairie Wolf Legion and the prince's report were presented in front of Zhong Ping almost at the same time, and Zhong Ping immediately invited the Huyan King to attend the emergency meeting. ——Zhong Ping realized at that time that the problem was a bit big. The report of the Prairie Wolf Legion is: The scout encountered a patrol team of the fallen army. One of our troops was killed in action. The enemy commander was skilled in tactics and was very powerful. The reconnaissance result is: the unknown enemy is indeed the fallen cavalry, and it is likely to be the Guanzhong iron cavalry, and the number is unknown. Hu Yan's report was that a large number of Fallen Army cavalrymen were being mobilized near the four counties in Hexi.

Zhong Ping shivered in his heart at that time, it wouldn't be Luo Chen's main force that flew to Hexi in an instant! But the result of the battlefield just ahead is still: the fallen army of hundreds of thousands of troops swept the edge of the grassland in a pincer offensive! Trying to stare at and eat your own Hun cavalry! ——In this case, Zhong Ping reported a fluke. Perhaps the number of fallen troops in Hexi was not as large as he imagined, at most tens of thousands. In this case, he could deal with it by himself. When the danger is big, let the Prairie Wolf Legion go out to the mountains. Your own killer, this time comes in handy!

Hu Yan nodded and bowed as he sat beside him. Several generals seemed to look down on him, but nodded slightly, while others ignored him at all—this Hu Yan knew, I don’t know how many princes died in the hands of these generals, but they had military power and power. The power of life and death. Only the young scholar, who looked kind, smiled and nodded. People who nod are nodding, with kindness on their faces, and smiles everywhere on their faces. Seeing Hu Yan's heart was warm, but the young man also seemed to have a tired face and dark circles under his eyes. Hu Yan still knew him. After all, he was too famous. The first strategist on the prairie, Young Junxian, Yesuo.

I don't know if Hu Yan saw it wrong or was thinking about it, but Yesuo looked a little sad, and seemed to keep a distance from the other generals, sitting on the side instead of Zhongping.

On the right side of Zhongping was a large general with a black beard, a burly figure and a murderous look on his face. He didn't speak much, and seemed to do exactly what Zhong Ping said. In fact, Eru is still more serious. He is a general and can be a general. It's like some people are tall, big and three thick, and have beards. It's a pity not to move bricks - but, they are academic masters, and they are disciplined in their studies. Although they are not comparable to academic gods, they are still among the top few. Eru is quite brave when fighting, and is often called the number one general under Zhongping's account by the outside world. His fighting style is brave.

The other one was the gloomy General Zhao Cheng, sitting on the side, not raising his head very much, as if he was meditating alone. Zhao Cheng is a general who makes the enemy terrified, even more terrifying than Eru. Although Eru is fierce, it makes you die clearly. You see a machete or a machete slashing at you plainly, and then you die plainly. It is nothing more than the fact that there are no other elites in the army, and your skills are not as good as this fierce general, and you will be convinced even if you die. But Zhao Chenggong is different. When you sleep in the tent, you will be woken up by the howling of ghosts and wolves outside, and you will be awakened by the sound of crackling fire. Then maybe you were picked up by the enemy without pants and captured. Then he looked at Zhao Cheng's gloomy and expressionless face, and was hacked to death from behind by an unknown soldier, with his hands still tied. Or when you greeted your soldiers to rest, they had just taken off their armor and were about to cook, but Zhao Cheng's iron cavalry rushed over on time, and many soldiers became ghosts under the knife before they had time to resist.

This is the ghost of the night battle, the ghost. This ghost, Zhao Cheng, is a little expert in countering rebellion. After Zhongping's coup, he ran around the land of the Xiongnu, and every time he passed through, he must cry and howl, and then Zhongping's actual control ability of the place was greatly strengthened. Many of the Xiongnu's left wing did not agree with the Zhongping coup and wanted to unite to kill Zhongping. The situation at that time could be described as dangerous. Luochen and Cao Cao in the south had peace talks, and a large number of the main troops went north, looking like they wanted to kill Zhongping. In the east, there were serious riots in the royal court in the left and central parts of the Huns. Zhao Cheng was undoubtedly ordered in danger - due to the pressure of facing the fallen army in the south and the shortage of troops, Zhao Cheng only had less than 30,000 people in his hands. Zhao Cheng led the 30,000 men eastward and entered the left side of the Xiongnu. At that time, all the local power factions scoffed. After all, these people had more than 100,000 local armed forces.

But ghosts are ghosts after all, so many nights, the elites were lifted from the bed without pants and executed on the spot. And their army also collapsed in an instant with the terrifying raids and attacks of Zhao Cheng's army. Two months later, the entire left side of the Xiongnu became calm and honest. Zhao Cheng even attacked Xiahou Dun's light cavalry, annihilating his army of 20,000 people. Greatly washed away the shame of the Huns back then. .

Chapter 139 Questioning

The huge tent, counted and counted, plus yourself, only these six people. Zhongping, Zhongting, Erlu, Jesso, Zhao Cheng. Sure enough, the core decision-making circle is very small.

Seeing Hu Yan sitting down, Zhong Ping cleared his throat and said, "Everyone understands the situation. There are a large number of fallen cavalry near Hexi. The current number is uncertain, but it is estimated that there are no less than ten thousand people."

"The emergency plan needs to be activated immediately." Jesso interjected from the side, exhaustion in his voice.

"Yes, I have given an emergency order." Zhong Ping said calmly. "The Xiongnu cavalry in Hexi is about 10,000 people, and the local temporary army has collected about 20,000 people. Now it has been assembled quickly. The strategic reserve of our army has already begun to prepare."

Strategic Reserve? Not only Hu Yan, but even a few generals on the spot were confused. When did the strategic reserve team emerge? Probably only Yesuo and Zhongting knew the truth, Erlu and Zhao Cheng didn't know, let alone Hu Yan.

"Strategic Reserve?" Erlu couldn't help but wonder, and began to ask, "When did it happen?"

Zhong Ping paused, obviously considering whether to speak. His eyes flicked to Hu Yan. This Hu Yan also understands that he is an outsider. It is enough to let him come over for a meeting today and see the core decision-making level. Hu Yan hurriedly said, "I'll go out first..."

"No need." Zhong Ping waved his hand. "It's just that this matter is top secret, and only three people know about the details of the strategic reserve team. Now I will expand the scope to six people, but if there is any leakage of top secret matters, don't blame me, Zhongping, for not thinking about the love of this monarch and minister. ."

"The Prairie Wolf Cavalry Regiment is the name of this army." Zhong Ping said quite contentedly, "The organization consists of more than 40,000 cavalrymen and more than 120,000 prairie wolves."

"120,000!" Erlu was surprised. Even Zhao Cheng, the always indifferent ghost, suddenly raised his head with surprise, as if to confirm whether it was true or not.

There is a legend circulating on the grassland that Jesso brought ten thousand big wolves and easily annihilated the Qiang army who attacked and ensured the safety of the flanks of the grassland. But——even if the legend is true, it is only ten thousand, and now it has rapidly expanded tenfold. What's even more incredible is that there are still 40,000 riders... It is understandable to say that a single person commands the wolf to fight, because there is no guarantee that there will be any aliens. But it is said that the large-scale organization of cavalry and wolves to fight together, is it sure that the wolf will not eat the rider?

Hu Yan opened his mouth wide, wanting to sigh with emotion, but he still shut up honestly. After all, he is an outsider, so don't talk nonsense.

"The top secret among the top secrets where the Steppe Wolf Legion is stationed will not be disclosed to you." Zhongping said coldly. Now Yesuo doesn't know where the Steppe Wolf Legion is stationed. It has been several months since he was removed from the leadership position. "But you can still go to the four counties in Hexi."

"So, although most of the fallen army appeared near the four counties in Hexi, as long as there is a prairie wolf army, we can even annihilate the fallen army?" Zhao Cheng in the corner spoke for the first time.

"Yes, I called everyone here today to urgently discuss our general strategy against the enemy. Now the situation is clear, most of the fallen troops are in front of me, trying to annihilate my main force; if we fail to achieve our goal, we divide our troops to attack me in Hexi. Four counties, leading to the current situation."

"We have to review the mistakes of the strategy." Zhong Ting suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice. Zhong Ting looked rather haggard, with slightly darker skin and a gloomy complexion. Hu Yan felt that this person should be the kind of person who fights with a low voice and ruthlessness, but he was surprised when he opened his mouth. It's more than low, it's just low, and even extremely hoarse. Hu Yan wondered if this person was not getting enough sleep.

"General, pay attention to your body..." Erlu scratched his head and said.

Zhong Ting ignored it, and his voice was even more severe: "We, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu warriors, hid in Tibet on the grasslands, and completely let the fallen army occupy the initiative. Now the fallen army is divided into troops, and has been appearing under Hexi City, we only Discovery. What if there is no strategic reserve team? Then we can only watch the four counties in Hexi are easily captured by the fallen army! We have to reflect on the mistakes of our strategy! It is the mistake of the escape strategy!" Zhong Ting became more and more excited, even I patted my legs.

·0 Seeking flowers

"Stop talking..." Zhong Ping whispered.

"Whose fault is this? Who managed this escape strategy? Who made hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu brothers run around with just one mouth?" Zhong Ting ignored it at all, but asked more directly.

Everyone knows who he is scolding. The person who proposed and urged this set of strategies was Jesso, the number one counselor.

Hu Yan was stunned. I just don't understand how Zhong Ting got such a big fire... Of course, looking at his ragged clothes and haggard complexion, he should be greatly harmed by the escape strategy he said...

.............

"Stop talking!" Zhong Ping snapped.

I'm afraid Zhong Ting will call him directly next, but Zhong Ping's loud shouting still had an effect, Zhong Ting closed his mouth abruptly and turned his face to the side.

It is indeed rare for high-level circles to ask questions directly. No matter what, he must pay attention to procedural etiquette. He Zhongting is not Jesso's boss and has no right to abuse him. And - most importantly, this strategy was executed with the absolute support of Zhong Ping, which is Zhong Ping's trust in Jesso's analytical and strategic capabilities. To scold this strategy, more or less also scold Zhong Ping. Now it can only be said that the differences between the generals or the generals are too great.

Jesso is not a fool, and at this point, he will not be a shrewd turtle. However, his strategy is not necessarily wrong, he firmly believes in it. Because if they did not join forces to avoid their edge, it is very likely that the Xiongnu soldiers would have been divided and surrounded by fallen troops. In fact, the steppe generals were so annoyed by this strategy that they lashed out. Cao Cao in the Central Plains and people from Jiangnan have not low evaluation of this strategy, and even applaud this strategy. Originally, they thought that the Xiongnu's troops would not be able to last long under the crazy attack of the fallen army, but now it has been almost a year, and they have survived abruptly. And the Central Plains area has to support an army of 500,000 to 600,000 people every day, and its burden is beyond imagination. .

Chapter 140: Next Step Strategy

"My problems, I take full responsibility." Jesso spoke calmly. "General Zhong Ting, don't be angry, I respect your opinion, and at the same time have my own opinion." Jesso's eyes stared at Zhong Ting calmly and firmly, as if telling him that it is right to avoid war, whether you support it or not Support, that's all my proposition.

"I obey Da Chanyu's orders. At the same time, due to my negligence, the four counties in Hexi are facing dangerous situations. I request to resign as the number one counselor." The last sentence was calm and clear.

In fact, Zhong Ting is just a mouth addict. When it comes to strategy and tactics, he has not yet reached the level that he can compare with Jesso. However, after his remarks, Jesso resigned directly, which really surprised him.

"Mr. Jesso, this..." Zhong Ping's expression was a little elusive, and he didn't know whether he kept it or agreed. But "740", as usual, Zhong Ping didn't answer, and jumped to the next topic bluntly - which means that he hasn't thought about it yet and needs to think about it. "How to fight next, let's see what you think."

"It is suggested that my 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry should immediately launch an assault on one flank of the fallen army, and destroy one side of the pincer first. Let his pincer attack abort." Zhong Ting said without hesitation.

"Have you figured out the enemy's military equipment? Are you confident? If the enemy conducts a counter-assault, will our army fall into a passive position?" Zhong Pinglian asked.

"Our army is running back and forth in the grasslands, and we all expect to face the fallen army directly, instead of running away. Although the soldiers are tired now, their morale is strong and they can fight. My Xiongnu soldiers have always been known for their bravery and speed. The first wave of offensive is The soldiers in the Central Plains can be crushed and defeated, and they should be able to retreat." Zhong Ting was full of confidence.

Hu Yan felt more and more bored, these people had nothing to do with him in chatting, he couldn't intervene, and his status was unreasonable. Now it seems that this General Zhong Ting intends to lead the people to face off against the fallen army, but does this have a half-cent relationship with Hexi? The fallen army in Hexi has already arrived at the city. However, Hu Yan found that Zhao Cheng was also not listening, he kept his head down thinking about his own affairs, sometimes he raised his head, looked around for a while, and then lowered his head again. The performance of being a scumbag in a typical classroom.

"General, please think again." Jesso seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he decided to speak anyway, and put forward a decidedly opposite opinion: "Our army attacked the entire flank of the enemy with a limited force, and the difference in force is not particularly large, and hundreds of thousands How can it be possible to achieve a quick decision in a human battle and retreat? It is conceivable that the enemy and me are bound to be entangled together. At this time, the other wing of the enemy has a high probability of participating in the battle, and the battle situation will be extremely unfavorable for us. "

"Then what do you think?" Zhong Ting looked really angry, "Continue to escape? Be a tortoise? Let the Xiongnu warriors lose their fighting spirit while fleeing, and then die? All Hun soldiers are cowards!"

Jesso didn't answer. He just lowered his head, as if the words had already been said, and there was no need to say any more.

"Eru, what do you think?" Zhongping asked suddenly.

Eru is usually engaged in execution, and this kind of tit-for-tat is probably the first time he has seen it, with big eyes and small eyes. After hearing Zhong Ping's name and asking him, he thought about it and said, "There are naturally many difficulties in the battle, but just thinking about the difficulties and blindly avoiding the battle doesn't seem to work... Now the soldiers below have a lot of opinions about running every day. I Support General Zhong Ting and directly fight against the fallen army."

"Zhao Cheng?"

"I'm resolute in carrying out the orders of Dadanyu." Zhao Cheng said slyly, but the outcome of such an argument seemed to be clear. Zhongping's trust in Jesso had fallen sharply. Now, because of the strategy of avoiding war, the Huns were in a passive state in Hexi, and had to move out of the Prairie Wolf Cavalry Regiment for emergency. A variety of factors are not in favor of Jesso. "But my personal opinion is that blindly avoiding war is very harmful. It is not a solution. I support General Zhong Ting." At this time, it is probably right to be one-sided. And Jesso seems to be about to resign...

"Okay. Zhong Ting is the former enemy general, and Olu is the deputy general. He has full command of about 250,000 horses on the frontal battlefield, and the remaining tens of thousands of horses. He is responsible for public security and arranging the evacuation of herdsmen to ensure the safety of the tribe's women and children." Zhong Ping said in an orderly tone, Zhong Ting and Erlu immediately got up: "Yes!". Zhong Ping ended the dispute by appointment. The two generals who advocated a head-to-head battle were appointed as former enemy generals and lieutenants, and gave them full command of the battlefield command.
