Speaking of which, since the beginning of the Battle of Ukraine, Lu Xun has gained a lot of fame in the Pingxi Legion because of his strange strategy. With the assistance of Bian Xi, who was hidden in the dark, the two brothers Ma Dai and Ma Xiu wiped out 40,000 Wusun troops in the Grand Canyon on the northern foot of Saalming Mountain, and captured more than 20,000 living people.

In comparison, Ma Chao has never made any contribution to the favored world. This has made the Yanqi Cheshi coalition forces who are almost blindly worshipping Ma Chao.

"Jin Ma Chao" is now very famous in the Western Regions. It is very famous. The young man is not only handsome, but also has excellent martial arts skills. He is young and commands tens of thousands of cavalry like wolves and tigers. No matter how you look, he has a bit of the charm of Huo Piaoyao back then. Now he has become the dream lover of many Yanqi women. Long Kui'a has already run to Guan Yu and married Ma Chao as his wife. He doesn't want others to steal the son-in-law he likes.

When Ma Chao came out of Tianshan from Jiaohe Fortress north, he was blocked by 60,000 Wusun cavalry. Although the two sides had a small-scale tentative battle, the winner was not decided, so he still had no achievements, which was really confusing.

With Ma Chao's ability and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, although the number of people is 10,000 less than that of Wusun, he definitely has the ability to give it a try. But I don't know why Ma Chao became so cautious this time.

Others don’t know the truth, but the reason why the Xiliang army still guards Jiaohe Fortress and did not advance straight into the Wusun Kingdom is that the Xiliang army now has only empty spaces. Thirty thousand jackals who came out of Liangzhou are now led by the second and third brothers of the Ma family. Secondly, the army commander Ma Chao is actually the commander of the two units of the Xiliang army and the Yanqi Cheshi Alliance. What decisions are required to be made to be equal.

Why is there a saying that a bowl of water is equal? ​​That is because now there are only 10,000 people hiding in the Han army, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses are all soldiers from Yanqi and Cheshi. Moreover, there are 20,000 of the 40,000 Hu people who are reserve soldiers with no combat power. Originally, they only maintained public order in Yanqi County and Cheshi County, and did not undertake real combat tasks.

If Ma Chao commanded the troops mainly from Yanqi, Heishan and Cheshi soldiers to fight to the death with the Wusun people while the troops were not around, it would make people feel that he would not take the lives of soldiers who were not direct troops seriously, which would not only cause the actual problem of morale downturn, but also cause adverse consequences of the Huhan crack.

Ma Chao is not the naughty young man who always likes to fight with someone when he first debuted. Besides, he has a simplified version of "Jia Xu" military advisor Tian Yu, so he naturally won't do such a confused thing.

The Xiliang cavalry and the Wusun cavalry must face each other head-on, otherwise it will not be enough to shock the arrogant and domineering Wusun people. But it is obviously not now. According to Ma Chao's previous temperament, even if he only has 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, he will definitely have the courage to fight the 60,000 Wusun cavalry to the death, and it can also guarantee the final victory, but this is not a good idea.

The 30,000 Lizhi from the west of Xiliang, which was fought from within the pass, was not supplemented by the Han cavalry, and each group of these soldiers who were seeds would be reduced by one. If they fought with the Wusun people, they would lose more than a half-man. Although they achieved complete victory, how many Han soldiers were killed in this battle were fought twice. This was not the situation that he and King Pingxi wanted to see.

After the news of the great victory of the Unknown Canyon came, Ma Chao and Tian Yu thought carefully and decided to temporarily modify the combat plan originally decided by the commander. Of course, this modification must be reported to Guan Yu first and then implemented after the approval of the Grand Commander.

The original plan of the commander was Ma Dai and Ma Gucheng. After Ma Chao and Tian Yu adjusted the plan, it became appointing 10,000 Kunlun infantry left behind in Yanqi to secretly enter the nameless canyon and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack Chigucheng. The 20,000 cavalry led by Ma Dai and Ma Xiu quietly returned to build the 20,000 reserve troops that were originally pretending to be regular, and they acted as bait to deceive the Wusun people near Jiaohe City. Then Ma Chao led 50,000 regular troops to launch a head-on decisive battle.

Ma Chao and Tian Yu's plan adjustment this time revealed two information to Guan Yu. First, they believed that it was necessary to defeat the Wusun people once on the front battlefield, especially using the cavalry warfare that the Wusun people were good at as a means to show their strength; second, they were fully confident of taking down the 60,000 troops of the Wusun people. Once the 60,000 regular troops of the Wusun people were wiped out on the front battlefield, it is very likely that Kangju and Dayuan reinforcements who came to support would also be retained in the future.

The King of Pingxi will sooner or later fight against Kangju and Dayuan. If he can deal with 80,000 reinforcements before this, it will not only weaken the military strength of the two countries, but also have the effect of shaking mountains and shaking tigers. It is very beneficial to stabilize the entire situation in the Western Regions in the future.

It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Since it is conquered by force, it is necessary to manage and rule after conquest. Otherwise, it is like a bear riot, and it will be lively to rebel later.

After receiving the urgent report from Ma Chao and Tian Yu, Guan Yu immediately summoned his generals to discuss. The final result was to approve Ma Chao and Tian Yu's latest combat plan. From this point of view, it can be seen that the military qualities of various adaptations after Zhao Xing's military ideological transformation are not to implement various combat plans mechanically.

Burying the Wusun people alive in the nameless canyon can only be regarded as completing the first phase of the entire combat operation of the Wusun. Next, the main force of the Wusun people was eliminated at the lowest cost. The second phase of the task was naturally to find a way to retain the eighty thousand Kangju and Dayuan reinforcements and capture Chigu City.

In the actual operation, there is no strict time limit for the tasks in the second and third stages. If conditions permit and the time is ripe, it is possible to seize Chigu City first, or lure Kangju. Dayuan reinforcements come out of Tianshan to fight the Han army to a decisive battle. After all, there are two battlefields now, plus a surprise soldier.

Ma Chao himself has ambitions and wants to eat up all the most important troops of the Wusun people. Could it be that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Rong, Pang Ji and others who are determined to make contributions have no idea?

The answer is obviously not. Since the news of the victory in Wuming Valley came, these comrades have been unable to sit still. With their efforts, they have come up with many good ideas. Now they have asked Guan Yu to take the initiative to fight. ~
