Chapter 133 Preparations before the war
Afterwards, Lu Ning, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led 10,000 troops back to Dai County, leaving 5,000 Feixiong Army to station in Shanggu. After arriving in Dai County, Lu Ning summoned everyone to study the combat plan and combat location of Feixiong Army before the New Year.
Zhao Yun first said: "Brother, I think our army will first destroy Panji north of Baideng, and the Xianbei Tartar tribes of the Kebineng tribe. As for the Xianbei Tartar tribes north of Shanggu, the Xianbei Tartars east of the north of Shanggu, let's talk about it until next year. On the one hand, our army has limited military strength, and on the other hand, the Tatars are now aware that our army can send troops to fight in snowy days. They will definitely have strict defenses. Our army will not do as they want as last year. This year our army should be subject to strong resistance. We cannot be careless."
After hearing this, Tian Chou also said, "Lord, Zilong is right. Our army should first wipe out the Xianbei tribes of the Kebineng tribe north of Baideng. For the Kebineng tribes around Shanggu, next year, the Kebineng tribes will be defeated by only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Dai County next year. The strength of the Kebineng tribe is indeed stronger than our army. We will gradually erode them. If we don't call us, we will spend a few more years. After the spring next year, let Zilong lead ten thousand Feixiong soldiers to wander around the Kebineng tribe, or adopt guerrilla warfare. If he dares to kill all of them at Shanggu, Dai County, then the base camp of the Kebineng tribe will be the meat in Zilong's mouth."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. I am careful that next year, it may not only be the Xianbei Tartar cavalry of the Kebineng tribe attacking us. Maybe even the Xianbei tribes of the Liaodong Suli, Mijia, Queji and other Xianbei tribes will rush towards us. If that is the case, we will have 70,000 or 80,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers to bear it. If several tribes add up, there will be at least 200,000 Xianbei cavalry."
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "Lord, what you said is very likely to happen. It's just that if several tribes want to unite, it will take at least one year to complete the assembly. We can use next year's buffer stage to eliminate some of their strength."
Lu Ning thought to himself: The next year is 190 years. If the army has time to defeat the Xianbei Tartars, that is the time for the princes of the world to jointly attack Dong Zhuo. Can Lu Ning not participate in such an incident? This is a great opportunity to revive reputation and win people's hearts. The princes of the world will appear on stage, and Lu Ning will also meet those great celebrities.
After a long time, Lu Ning said: "Then we will only do research at that time. It is too early to study now, and the world is unpredictable. Who knows what the year ahead will look like? But one thing will not change, that is, our army's target is mainly the Tartar cavalry on the northern prairie. Of course, if conditions permit, our army can also attack the Tartar cavalry and Sanhan in the Liaodong area. At that time, we have the final say in the real north, but we will also face attacks from other princes."
After hearing this, Tian Chou was puzzled. What is the lord saying, what is the Liaodong Tartars, the Three Han people, and what princes came to attack us. What does this mean? Tian Chou looked up at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, why don't we understand it very much? Do you know what will happen?"
Lu Ning did not answer Tian Chou's words, but Lu Ning was still thinking: The world is about to be in chaos. Although Bingzhou is vast, its population is too small. If he can own Ji and Youzhou, its strength can be higher than the next level. The key is that it really controls the north. If the Central Plains want to develop cavalry in the future, it has to buy war horses from Lu Ning, or buy from Xiliang and Qinzhou. Lu Ning's army can rely on places north of the Yellow River to develop its economy and accumulate strength. Lu Ning's subordinates still lack talents.
Especially the best military advisor-level talent, of course, the best candidate is the genius Guo Jia. Zhou Yu is the best in leading troops to fight, but he and Sun Ce are brothers. It is not easy to deal with the poisonous scholar Jia Xu. The others are still young, and those who are old enough like Erxun will definitely not be able to deal with it. They will not come. By the way, it seems that Xu Shu, the old boy, should have abandoned martial arts and practiced literature, so he has to wait for him to learn a few more years, but you can learn from Cao Cao, and it is a good idea to trick his mother into coming first.
Zhao Yun next to him didn't say anything, and when he looked dumbfounded, he pulled LaLu Ning with his hand and said, "Brother, we are studying to deal with the Xianbei Tartar cavalry. What are you thinking? You don't say anything."
Lu Ning reported that he was wandering around and said, "I didn't think about anything, you will know from now on."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at Tian Chou with his eyes. Seeing that Tian Chou was not sure what was going on, Zhao Yun said, "Brother, how can we know what you are thinking in your heart? We will know what we have in the future. What does this mean?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Lu Ning was stunned. What was he saying? He knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he said, "I'm sorry, my thoughts are absent. I was just thinking about our army's next year or later."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "Brother, you are not thinking about your sister-in-law, are our soldiers engaged in national integration, and only the eldest brother doesn't do it. Are you afraid of your sister-in-law?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Fourth brother, you are talking nonsense, what sister-in-law, now you don't even have a single horoscope, just call it sister-in-law, it's too early. We will continue to study the combat plan, and we will not talk about it anymore. Where did we just talk about it."
Zhao Yun said: "Brother, Zitai and I have the opinion to first destroy the Kebineng troops north of Baideng. However, our army's scouts reconnaissance said that the distance between the five tribes was too far and it was not easy to defeat them one by one."
After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "This is not a big problem. If we wait until the heavy snow falls and let the snow pile deeper before attacking, no matter how close the tribes are, they will have dozens of miles to support each other. Can the Xianbei Tartars ride horses or fight in infantry? No matter how they prepare, they can only defend around the tent. They cannot leave the tent to attack our army. In the snow, our army has the advantage of speed. Our army can eliminate them in the movement. Can they also ski? As long as our army continues to shoot and kill them with strong bows and crossbows during the movement. If they build fences and obstacles, we will use rockets to burn them first to see what their Tartars have."
After hearing this, Tian Chou said: "Lord, I am worried that the Xianbei Tartars will not only fence the camp with wooden railings, but they may clean up the snow in the camp every day in order to prevent our army's attack. In that case, the sleds on the feet of our soldiers will be burdened. Even if the Tartars are smarter, they can use snow to pile the surroundings of the camp into snow walls. In that case, our army will not have more ways to eliminate them. Moreover, if there is a lot of snow on the wooden fence, our army's rockets will not have much effect."
