Chapter 779 Xu Rong's overall concept

?Just shortly after Ma Chao and Tian Yu sent Guan Yu the latest combat plan, Xu Rong and Yan Liang, who were leading 20,000 troops, also sent the latest combat requests respectively.

Although the news of the victory of Wuming Valley is still tightly blocked, especially no one in Yanqi's territory, this does not prevent the important generals distributed in various garrison areas from learning about this important military situation as soon as possible.

The Wuming Valley Victory is a link in the entire battle against Wusun. Although the location of the incident looks quite far from other troops, it is a big deal that affects the whole body. When Xu Rong, who is located in the westernmost part of the entire war zone, received the news, it was only three days before the Wuming Valley Victory. At this time, the two brothers Ma Dai and Ma Chao were organizing captured Wusun soldiers to clear the severely silted passage in the valley.

Xu Rong was naturally very happy after seeing the good news. This was an important battle to win, but he was more concerned about the subsequent battle process. Guan Yu assigned him this time the task was to go forward to the area between Shule and Shache, to restrain the Wusun people from the westmost part of the Tianshan Mountains, and to suppress these two Xiaofan countries that had always maintained close relationships with the Wusun Kingdom.

As the chief general of the Kunlun Army, Xu Rong originally had 30,000 infantry under his command. At that time, Guan Yu asked him to leave 10,000 people to guard the Yanqi country, with the focus on protecting the safety of the old nest, Qucheng. Xu Rong did not say anything at that time, and immediately left 10,000 people in the First Division and Third Division of the Kunlun Army. These two divisions were the elites of the heavy and light divisions of the Kunlun Army. Xu Rong did this to weaken his strength, which was obviously unfavorable for accumulating military achievements on the front line in the future.

What is even more unexpected is that Xu Rong also took the initiative to suggest to Guan Yu that the Kunlun Army's military advisor, Zheng Ji, would be transferred to the 20,000-ping Western Army led by Yan Liang to ensure that there would be no problems with Yan Liang's army. Xu Rong did this not only showed his support for Yan Liang, but also showed Guan Yu his ability and determination.

Among the many troops under Zhao Xing, there are many examples where only the commander is the only one who has the power, such as Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other famous generals. Although Xu Rong debuted late among Zhao Xing's generals, he wanted to prove that he also has this ability in this way. Xu Rong believed that his force was not as strong as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but in Zhao Xing's army, force was not the most critical factor. What really made Zhao Xing highly praised and appreciated was the general's comprehensive quality and overall concept, as well as the issue of loyalty.

Xu Rong has proved his loyalty and overall concept through the Gaonu War and his efforts over the past few years. Now he needs to lead the army alone to prove his comprehensive quality. At this moment, the news of the victory in Wuming Valley came, which immediately allowed him to see the opportunity.

Long before the victory of Wuming Valley, Xu Rong had his own judgment and ideas about the entire Western Front war. When the Wusun people who were confronted by him retreated and replaced them with 20,000 Kangju soldiers, Xu Rong had the intention to eat some of the other party. However, because the entire Western Front was aimed at restraining the enemy at that time, he consciously obeyed the overall situation on the battlefield and did not make any suggestions to use surprise troops to kill the 20,000 Kangju people on the opposite side.

After the news of the victory of Wuming Valley came, Xu Rong immediately drafted an analysis report on the entire battlefield situation and attached his views on the next action, including the proposal to lead 20,000 Black Mountain troops across the Tianshan Mountains to fight the Kangju soldiers.

After receiving the secret letter from Xu Rong, he carefully read and thought about Xu Rong's suggestions. He compared Xu Rong's ideas with Ma Chao's ideas, and found that the generals on the Western and Eastern Fronts now have the idea and determination to launch a large-scale battle on more than two battlefields at the same time, and also conducted careful analysis and deduction for this. It was well prepared and difficult to refuse.

Xu Rong proposed a package of suggestions to resolve the war in the Western Regions, focusing on the need to make efforts at the east and west lines at the same time to attract all the Wusun people and the main forces of the reinforcements to the two lines. This will inevitably lead to empty defense in Chigu City, and then send an army to cross from Wuming Valley, attack Chigu City in surprise, and pacify Wusun with one battle.

Xu Rong also emphasized that the war on the east and west fronts must be controlled well, and should not fall into a decisive battle with the Wusun people at the beginning, but should focus on attracting firepower. After the news of the sneak attack on Chigu City came out, and then launch a fatal attack on the frontal enemy, it was when the morale of the Wusun people and reinforcements was low and panicked, the Pingxi Army could easily defeat the enemy and reduce its own casualties and losses.

Guan Yu attached great importance to Xu Rong's suggestion, because Xu Rong's suggestion was basically consistent with the combat plan he and Lu Xun had adjusted. What made Guan Yu feel even more amazing is that Xu Rong actually pointed out the unruly nature of the Wusun people, not like the honest and obedient people of Yanqi, Cheshi and other countries. He also suggested adopting the strategy of using a big stick and a candy, first beat the Wusun people and then discussing soft methods to win people's hearts.

Guan Yu now feels that with Xu Rong's overall view, it is only a matter of time before Zhao Xing is appointed as the top leader of a certain legion in the future. As long as Xu Rong can achieve good results in the attack on Kangju reinforcements this time, Zhao Xing is afraid that he will arrange more important positions for Xu Rong next.

Opportunities on the battlefield were fleeting. Since a new plan had been made, Guan Yu did not delay and immediately ordered people to send the adjusted comprehensive combat plan of the commander to the army, preparing to completely end the Wusun war before the hottest summer. This was half a year earlier than the original plan.

Guan Yu ordered that the 20,000 infantry troops stationed in the Kucha area be brought closer to the central army. When the two armies gathered together, he would personally command the troops to immediately launch an attack on the 60,000 Kangju people and Dayuan people in the Tianshan Mountains, with the purpose of entangling them. After Ma Chao succeeded, these Kangju people and Wuhuan people would be blocked in the Tianshan Mountains by Ma Chao who came from behind.

After receiving the latest combat plan from the commander, Xu Rong found that the content was more than 60% consistent with his suggestions, so he was naturally very satisfied. So he immediately set up all the troops and brought the necessary supplies needed, and headed towards the remaining lineage of the Tianshan Mountain without hesitation.

After receiving the latest order from the commander, Ma Chao was extremely excited. This time, Guan Yu not only agreed to his plan, but also told him to kill 60,000 main forces of the Wusun people in the shortest time, and then quickly enter the Wusun territory, completely cut off the road to Kangju and Dayuan withdrawal from their country, and catch turtles in the jar. As for the specific actions of the eastern army, it is up to him to decide. Guan Yu will only look at the results and not ask about the process. ~ Please go to "
