With Li Guang?

Historically, Li Guang got lost in the Battle of Mobei, missed the decisive battle between Wei Qing and Yi Zhixie, and eventually committed suicide.

Chu Tian, ​​Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao were assigned to act together with Li Guang, and their emotions were very complicated.

The reason why Li Guang's Yintang turned black was probably because he was dissatisfied with Wei Qing's order to send troops from the east road, and thus had a dispute with Wei Qing.

Wei Qing obeyed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's order and asked Li Guang to divide his troops.

According to Sima Qian's records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that Li Guang was old and had bad luck, so he was not allowed to confront Yizhi Xie Shanyu head-on.

Because Sima Qian was biased against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his records may not necessarily be correct. Wei Qing arranged for former general Li Guang and right general Zhao Shiqi to go out of the east road and cooperate with him to flank Yizhixie Shanyu in Mobei. From the map

Look, if Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's troops had not lost their way and went around to the rear of the Xiongnu, it might indeed have a miraculous effect.

The emphasis of cavalry tactics is to attack thousands of miles and attack in roundabout ways. Therefore, we cannot simply think that Wei Qing's tactics of dividing his troops and advancing together were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deliberately trying to trick Li Guang.

Wei Qing's west route army was divided into two groups, facing Yi Zhixie Chanyu. Huo Qubing's east route army was not divided into two groups, and faced the Xiongnu Zuoxian King (the prince of the Xiongnu).

Chu Tian had no objection to Wei Qing's allocation results. He was not worried about getting lost along the way with Li Guang, because he brought three compasses made by Zu Chongzhi and Zu Chongzhi on this expedition, and also brought a map of Mobei.

It would be difficult for Li Guang to get lost.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also prepared maps of Mobei after being reminded by strangers. They were extremely smart and would not worry about getting lost.

What worried Cao Cao was that he was actually with Chu Zimou. During this expedition, he not only had to guard against the Xiongnu, but also against a sudden attack by Chu Zimou.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao was with him, otherwise if Chu Tian really ignored the Xiongnu and turned to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao might be wiped out by Chu Tian in Mobei.

Cao Cao also didn't understand why Chu Tian would target him relentlessly and always regarded him as a threat.

Yuan Shao thought about military advisor Xu You's advice to him, and his eyes changed uncertainly.

He was with Cao Cao and Chu Zimou, as well as two Han generals, former general Li Guang and right general Zhao Shiqi.

Li Guang is old and his abilities have declined. As for the right general Zhao Shiqi, his abilities are mediocre.

Chu Tian was also secretly observing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were flirting back and forth. He was worried that if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao attacked him on the way, he would be very uncomfortable.

According to "Shishuo Xinyu", when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were young, they teamed up to steal other people's brides in the middle of the night.

Now that the two of them were with Chu Tian, ​​Chu Tian had to guard against them.

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others, not to mention that your teammates are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Li Guang was dissatisfied with Wei Qing's arrangements and finally broke out: "Beizi is a former general, but the general ordered Beiji to send troops from the east. Beiji has been fighting against the Xiongnu since he was young. He has been on the battlefield for many years and has only been able to fight against the Xiongnu Chanyu.

opportunity. I am willing to be the vanguard and fight Shan Yu to the death!"

"General Li, this is a military order. The military orderer is like a mountain!"

Wei Qing's tone left no room for doubt.

Li Guang was a veteran general during the Wenjing period. He once served under Zhou Yafu and was more senior than Wei Qing. Wei Qing relied on his sister Wei Zifu's nepotism with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to rise to power. It was not uncommon for him to have conflicts with veteran generals guarding the frontiers.

.

Chu Tian saw in his eyes that what he saw in front of him was the old Li Guang, who was different from the young Li Guang who was in the main world of "Lord" at this time. As people get older, their tempers become more violent, and they may even be unable to think straight, so he advised him: "General Li

, we may not be unable to achieve victory by sending troops from the east. Soldiers are also deceitful. As long as two elite troops advance fiercely, they can easily destroy the Xiongnu royal court."

Li Guang looked at Chu Tian and hesitated to speak. Facing the general and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty behind the general, Li Guang still chose to obey. He had no choice.

Chu Tian's speech attracted Wei Qing's attention, and Wei Qing looked slightly sideways.

The tactical philosophy of this rebel general is somewhat similar to that of his nephew Huo Qubing.

As long as the cavalry of the Han Empire is faster and more ferocious than the Huns, the Huns will be caught off guard and retreat. To defeat the nomadic cavalry, you must be faster and more ferocious than them!

"Both armies and horses will have heavy teams leaving Dingxiang County and passing through the Great Wall, constantly transporting food and supplies to the front. Pay attention to protecting the food roads, or plunder the Xiongnu tribes to obtain supplies. After the last battle of Monan

, the Xiongnu were afraid and fled far away to the north of the desert, so the military vehicles of the transport team were basically not plundered by the Xiongnu cavalry in the south of the desert."

Wei Qing reminded the generals about supplies.

In this battle of Mobei, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang, and the various Eastern Han princes who participated in the battle were all supplied by the Han Empire's baggage trains.

On the surface, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led more than 100,000 main troops to sweep across Mobei. In fact, they also included hundreds of thousands of civilians from the Han Empire.

In order to completely wipe out the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the legacy of Wenjing's rule, and at the same time requisitioned labor from all over the country, and continuously transported food and weapons from the rear to the front. The longer the front, the more civilians were needed, not to mention the greater the number of civilians needed.

The goal of this expedition is the distant Mobei.

The decisive battle that decided the fate of the Han Empire and the Xiongnu was also a competition of national strength between the two sides!

If a farming civilization wants to win, it must pay a greater price and use more manpower. Behind Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, a man called Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strongly supported them, so that they had no worries.

Of course, it also depends on the strength of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

If one does not have the talent to command an army, it is not uncommon to lead hundreds of thousands of troops out of the country and be killed. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national power was unprecedented, but there was no shortage of defeated military generals. They were demoted to civilians by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing rose to power through nepotism, but they were able to win battles, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the confidence to keep using them, and they did not disappoint Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. They kept winning.

After Wei Qing assigned the candidates for the two groups of troops, he dismissed everyone: "Each general will hand over the baggage team and tomorrow we will pull out the camp and go out to sweep Mobei."

"Chu Zimou, this time you and Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are going to have a good time. I have Wei Qing to rely on, and there is basically no possibility of defeat. You have the unlucky Li Guang on the way.

, either get lost or be surrounded by the Huns army, I can already see the outcome."

Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, deliberately teased Chu Tian.

"But shut your crow mouth."

Chu Tian was indeed a little depressed when he said this.

First of all, Li Guang's luck is indeed not very good in "Lords". Secondly, Chu Tian is always a little uneasy with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and he probably won't be able to sleep well.

Xu Fengnian and Wei Qing were traveling together. As one of the double walls of the Han Empire, Wei Qing's ability was undoubted, so Wei Qing's journey was relatively safe.

Compared with safety, Chu Tian was more worried about getting lost and trying in vain.

"Hahaha."

Seeing that Chu Tian rarely suffered a loss, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile.

Chu Tian returned to his army and found Zu Chongzhi who was accompanying the army. Zu Chongzhi was checking the condition of the compass car.

It was not uncommon for the army to bring craftsmen and ancient scientists with it. Napoleon often brought a group of scholars with him when he went on an expedition.

"Is there something wrong with the compass?"

Before leaving the fortress, Chu Tian once again confirmed with Zu Chongzhi the situation of the guide car.

A compass is used to determine the direction. Without a compass, it is normal to get lost when marching in a strange and vast prairie.

Zu Chongzhi replied: "The compass is in good condition and can be used for a long time."

"That's good."

So Chu Tian spent the night in Dingxiang County with peace of mind.

He summoned Hua Mulan again: "Mulan, I need you this time..."

Hua Mulan's cheeks turned red. They were now in Dingxiang County, within the Han army's sphere of influence. They didn't have to worry about being attacked by the Huns. If the lord wanted to warm the bed, that might be a good idea...

"I need your warhawk."

Chutian poured a basin of cold water on her.

In addition to the compass, Chutian also needs Hua Mulan's war eagle to conduct reconnaissance and determine the direction. Birds are very sensitive to direction. The iron eagle scout's war eagle is another trump card for Chutian to hunt down the Huns. It is better to say it is the biggest trump card, even better than the war eagle.

The guide car also needs to be practical.

With War Eagle, Chu Tian could even learn about the progress of the Wei Qing Army every now and then.

"Arrange three war eagles to take turns tracking the whereabouts of the Wei Qing Army; two war eagles to follow the baggage train at the rear; and five war eagles to detect the surrounding Hun cavalry. Once traces of the Hun cavalry are found, report them immediately. We can't

Let Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu ​​seize the opportunity to fight the Huns. This time I will make them lose all their money."

While Chu Tian was dealing with the Xiongnu, he was also scheming with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

If they can defeat the Xiongnu, Chu Tian can directly attack them. If they can't defeat the Xiongnu, Chu Tian can also lure the Xiongnu over, forcing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to join forces with him to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry.

"Um."

Hua Mulan nodded and was about to go down to make arrangements when Chu Tian pushed her down on the bed of the tent. She struggled feebly: "Just make arrangements before leaving the fortress tomorrow."

…

Compared with the prosperous days of Chutian, Cao Cao was always gloomy. He returned to his camp and summoned a few generals. This time he participated in the Battle of Mobei and did not dare to bring all the elites out, so he only brought Dian

There are three generals: Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan's cavalry marches faster, Zhang Liao can reduce the opponent's morale, and Dian Wei acts as Cao Cao's bodyguard.

"I, Cao Mengde, am really unlucky. Why am I trying to get along with Chu Zi? I won't be harmed by him."

Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, the more he thought about it, the more likely this was.

What should he do if Chu Tian suddenly breaks out and attacks his army?

In order to defend his homeland, Cao Cao did not bring Hubaoqi, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals, but only brought two cavalry generals, Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan. If Chu Tian ignored the war with the Xiongnu on the way and destroyed Cao Cao first, Cao Cao would

That's it.

"Cao Ah Hao, Ah Hao!"
