Chapter 2869 Someone has an idea(2/2)
Xiahou Yuan nodded and said, "If this is the case, he will only be able to pull the left and right and find an opportunity to defeat the enemy. Hangu and Mengjin are separated, and one army attacks Hangu and the other army attacks Mengjin, so that the head and tail cannot be taken care of, so he can break it."
Mengjin is the dividing point between the middle and lower reaches of the river.
In the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the water flows rapidly. After the flow and erosion since ancient times, the river water cuts into the plateau like a sharp sword, causing the two sides to be high and steep, and there are very few places to cross. As far as Mengjin, the Yellow River water finally pours into the North China Plain, the flow gradually slows down, and the river banks on both sides are relatively low, which forms a series of famous ferries.
On the side of Mengjin, there is a ferry crossing called Xiaopingjin.
Xiaopingjin is east of Mengjin. Together with Mengjin, it became a northern pass to protect Luoyang. However, because its convenience is not as convenient as Mengjin and its terrain is not as dangerous as Mengjin, it is far less important than Mengjin.
The terrain near Mengjin is high in the west and low in the east, and is gentle in the north and south. The central uplift is the remnant of Beimang Mountain, which is quite steep. The military camps on both sides are set up on it, facing each other far away through the river.
The terrain of the south bank of Xiaopingjin is flat, which is not conducive to defense. The old barriers are all abandoned. But Mengjin is different. There are permanent soldiers who guard the military camp. If they cannot be opened, don’t think about connecting Heluo from Hanoi.
Xiahou Yuan looked at the terrain and suddenly his eyes lit up, "If a Xuliu general's flag was here, he actually led the cavalry to cross the river in Xiaopingjin, and then attacked behind him... under two attacks, Mengjin would definitely be able to break it!"
Le Jin slapped his hands, "Good! This is a wonderful plan!"
The two of them immediately burst into laughter.
But after laughing for a moment, the two of them fell silent again.
Mengjin is easy to fight, but Hangu is difficult to attack.
If the Hangu Pass general comes out to rescue Mengjin, he may be blocked by Xiahou Yuan's attack and defeated by defeat at the left and right...
But what if the guards don’t come out?
Le Jin stared at him.
Xiahou Yuan also stared at him.
After a while, the two of them sighed in a low voice, looking side by side to the mountains in the distance, in the direction of Hangu.
…(`dish′)(`dish′)…
Almost everyone knows that Hangu is not easy to fight, so within the Three Auxiliary of Chang'an, there are actually not many concerns about the threat from Cao's army.
How hard is Cao's army really going to fight?
First, you have to cross Heluo, attack Mengjin, Hangu, and Tongguan, before you can enter Chang'an...
Therefore, people in Chang'an have a relatively stable mentality.
For the people of Sanfu in Chang'an, war seems to be far away, and the food, drinking, defecation and sensation of life are the closest.
But there are some things that influence the people of the Sanfu in Chang'an.
For example, the point where soldiers were recruiting was long lined up. Every people in the queue had the light of hope on their faces...
For example, there is also a recruitment office in the office of the General of the Great Han Dynasty.
However, this recruitment office is targeted at officials.
Chi Ganping, oh, now I’m called Xue Ping, and now I’m a little worried.
The General's Office of the Cavalry issued a document to recruit officials who were willing to follow the army to the Western Regions and support the construction of the Western Regions.
In principle, officials who go to the Western Regions will be given one to two levels of appointments, and some places will be given three levels, but the term of office is required to be at least two terms, that is, six years, and those who add three levels of appointments will be given three terms.
To be honest, Xue Ping was a little moved.
Although some say that the Guanzhong land was rebelled by Lu Bu, some say that it was invaded by Kushan, and there are even rumors that the Western Regions are rebelling together, etc., etc., there are different ones, but one thing is certain, that is, there are chaos in the Western Regions. There may be many reasons for the specific chaos, but it may also be that the reasons are not those rumored on the surface.
The cavalry prepared for the Western Expedition, which means that the situation was a bit bad, but it was not too bad.
At least this is true in Xue Ping's understanding.
After all, if the Western Regions are really bad, then blocking the enemy in Yumen Pass and Longxi will become the best choice. No one can take Yumen Pass without risk and no damage. The Qiang people in Longyou have basically been pacified, so if the Hu people attack Yumen Pass, the long supply line, that is, the food route, will become a fatal weakness.
You should know that it is easy to supply Yumen Pass from Longyou, but the Hu army has a long food supply in the Western Regions. Once a confrontation occurs, the number of Hu people will be too short. Therefore, if the cavalry just wants to defend, it is not difficult. Now it means that they want to conquer the Western Regions, it means that the cavalry does not want to give up the Western Regions and is unwilling to stop at Yumen Pass.
From another perspective, if you want to fight the Kushan Hu army in the Western Regions, knives against swords, guns against guns, and wins and losses, you must focus on cavalry. If you just want to defend, then for defending the city, infantry is naturally the key. Now the cavalry gathers mainly, not infantry, so it can generally prove the confidence of the cavalry in the Western Regions.
If the Kushan main force can be defeated in the Western Regions, it will not only successfully recover all the Western Regions, but also directly pacified the Western Regions countries and put all the scattered powers into the arms of the Western Regions. Of course, if the Kushan main force cannot be defeated, then even if the Western Regions countries are captured, it will not be of much significance. Just like although Lu Bu defeated the Kushan troops in the Western Regions before, the Kushans still made a comeback.
Therefore, after defeating the Kushan Hu army, the entire Western Regions were revitalized.
After revitalization, a large number of Han officials naturally needed to quickly penetrate into various countries, and then completely transform the originally scattered Western countries into counties of the Han Dynasty. Those kings and princes of Western countries, or Kunmikun, all became powerful people in the land, and then gradually banned and destroyed.
Just like the tribe before Xue Ping...
Xue Ping felt that the tribes he had belonged to had actually died earlier.
Xue Ping really didn't even think about the so-called tribal life.
Those who like the old tribe must be the "noble people" from the old tribe.
Like Xue Ping, who has lost the title of noble people early, and has to work hard for food, clothing and expenses. On the contrary, it is the Han model, or the model promoted by the cavalry in Guanzhong, is better. Otherwise, Xue Ping would not have the chance to become an official at all. He would have to herd sheep for the noble people in the tribe until he died, and at most he would become a small manager. Xue Ping's children would become the slaves of the noble people, generation after generation.
Perhaps some people like to be slaves very much.
But Xue Ping didn't like it, and didn't like it at all, so he felt that he could use his personal experience to drive more Hu people in the Western Regions who were unwilling to become slaves to noble people in the tribe...
So, after finishing the matter of share, Xue Ping turned to the recruitment office of Western Region officials before getting off work and wrote his name on the list.
He wants to go to the Western Regions with the Cavalry.
The pen falls and the mind is calm.
