Li Rui said directly: "They can't fight, so they can send officers who can fight to teach them! They don't know how to fight, so they can send people who can select martial arts to teach them! No one is born to fight, and it's not their fault that they can't fight!"

Sima Fan said irritably: "Even if we have so many people and organize the people in Nanyang to train, how long does it take for them to train to form combat effectiveness? Do we have so much time?"

Li Rui said: "That's better than nothing! I know you're very anxious, but don't be anxious for now, because it's useless to be anxious!" He looked around everyone and said loudly: "Everyone is calm, do whatever you should do, the sky cannot fall!"

Seeing that he still maintained his high fighting spirit, everyone's hearts finally settled a little. Jia You asked: "With the opinion of the lieutenant, what should we do now?"

Li Rui said: "Reorganize the 10,000 imperial guards and replenish their equipment. After they recover their vitality, they will be transferred to Duyang and Biyang, so that they can block these two holes! Transfer nine thousand new affiliated troops to Kunyang, Luyang, and Wuyang to protect the Wanluo Ancient Road! The alien troops, Wuhuan Tuqi and Jingzhou soldiers stayed in Wancheng, ready to go out at any time to support the front line!"

"Another 10,000 people were drawn from the New Affiliated Army to repair the city walls damaged by the war and strengthen the fortifications! We had tens of thousands of people in our hands, and we could still lie down and wait for the Hu people to come and kill them? Let me move them all!"

The last few words were yelled, which made everyone's body tremble... Yes, they had tens of thousands of soldiers who could fight alone, and there was no shortage of weapons and armor. Why should they be afraid of the Huguan? Are the Huguan really strong? You must know that at Tiemen Pass, Beigong Jing's 1,800 heavy cavalry defeated Shi Le's 20,000 army; in the Battle of Wancheng, Fu Sheng and Pei Wei's 800 Wuhuan cavalry suddenly killed Zhao Gu's 5,000 cavalry! This time they went to pick up the imperial guards, Beigong Chun's 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry to defeat Jiehu and 1,500 light cavalry, almost unscathed the opponent!

To repel the main force of the Huns and Han Kingdom and liberate Luoyang, they asked themselves that they could not help, but in this Nanyang Basin surrounded by mountains and only a few holes can be passed by the army...

I'm afraid of you, a bird!

Jia You said: "Nanyang is surrounded by mountains, and the entrances that can be entered by the army are nothing more than Xiangfan, Biyang and Duyang. Currently, Wang Ru's defeated general is traversed in Xiangfan. He has been crippled. It is not worth worrying. The most important thing is to block Biyang and Duyang. "

Li Rui asked: "How to block it?"

Jia You said: "Biyang is next to Tongbai Mountain. Tongbai Mountain is broken here, revealing a gap that is hundreds of miles long and only ten miles long at the narrowest point. This gap is sandwiched between Tongbai Mountain and Tongshan. The terrain is relatively flat. It is the best choice to enter the Nanyang Basin from the east. Our army should strengthen Biyang City on one side, build a small city at the narrowest point in the mountain pass, stationing a thousand soldiers. At the same time, several military camps in Tongshan and Tongbai Mountain are built to support. If the enemy attacks from the east, it must pull out this small city. At that time, the defenders of the small city will not be able to defend themselves. The army stationed in Biyang quickly rushed to help. At the same time, the military camps on both sides of the mountain pass continue to attack and restrain the enemy. It will definitely make the enemy lose sight of one thing and stop and return in disgrace!"

Li Rui said: "This is arranged. What about the blocking of the yang? How should we deal with the direction of blocking the yang?"

Jia You said: "The first thing is to do is to strengthen Duyang City with all efforts. This is the northern gate of Nanyang. Funiu Mountain is broken here, and the remnants of Tongbai Mountain stop here. A gap of sixty miles long and less than twenty miles narrowest is revealed between the two mountains. If we want to attack Nanyang from the north, Duyang is the must-pass place. In my opinion, in addition to two thousand troops stationed in Luyang, Kunyang and Wuyang, at least one thousand Wuhuan Tuqi should be placed in Ducheng, ready to support or support the defenders of these three cities at any time. The Hulu's ability to attack the city is not very good, but the ability to kill people and set fires everywhere and plunder food roads is very strong, and at this time, the Wuhuan Tuqi needs to deal with them."

The Hu people are indeed very capable in this regard. After the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Ju, who still stayed in Henan, could fight? He was the most powerful household in history. He was nailed to Xingyang, Liu Chang, Liu Yao, Liu Can and even Shi Le personally led his troops to demolish them, which made him beat him to the point of bruising and swollen face. He even cooperated with Liu Kun to stab Pingyang, the old capital of the Huns and Han Kingdom. However, such a powerful man, after Shi Le sent a large number of cavalry to attack the countryside and slaughter civilians, burned crops in the fields, and plundered the food roads, the army quickly collapsed. The people around him surrendered and fled, and in the end only more than a hundred people remained by him. The famous general fell off his horse and died while leading the last remnants to Luyang, ending his legendary life.

Don’t forget at any time that the Central Plains are mainly based on the Great Plains. This kind of battlefield can exert the advantages of cavalry to the limit. Once the Hu people break the lower limit, they can use any dirty tricks. The best way is to prepare a cavalry that is not large in scale but is stronger than the Hu people’s light cavalry, and specifically clean up these cavalry that plays three lights everywhere, catch one by one and kill another, and fight until they are afraid!

On this battlefield, facing the Hu light cavalry that was coming and going like the wind, an elite thug of one thousand people might be better than ten thousand infantrymen.

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay, Fu Sheng, I will give you two cavalry regiments and keep an eye on the direction of Duyang!"

Fu Sheng stood up and saluted: "Here!"

The policy was formulated in this way.

The basic structure of the Nanyang Jin army is:

The three thousand Jingzhou veterans and six thousand Jingzhou new recruits under Sima Fan have a total of nine thousand people. Although Sima Wei and Sima Yi are the Eight Kings as Sima Yue, Sima Ying and others, the images of the two brothers are relatively positive, and their tragic fate has also won the widespread sympathy of the people of Jingzhou. Sima Fan is considered to be the highlight of his father and uncle, and these nine thousand Jingzhou soldiers support him;

The four thousand extraordinary forces sent by Beigong Jing. These muscled men made great contributions in the street fighting in Rangcheng. They swung the two-meter-long sabre to charge into battle against the rebels' arrows and stones, chopping batches of rebels into pieces, destroying one fortress after another. These muscled men let them play tactics and detours, which would definitely not work, but letting them carry the front line is the best choice;

The Wuhuan Tucao, also sent by Beigong Jing, had a total of nine regiments, but more than 700 people were killed or injured in a series of wars, and about 3,000 people were left. However, a considerable number of the wounded were recovering under the careful care of military doctors. At most one month, they could be seen on the battlefield again;

The three groups of people combined have a total of 16,000 people, which is absolutely reliable and is also the backbone of the entire South-South Jin army.

Then there are the 10,000 imperial guards rescued by Beigong Chun. This army is relatively capable of fighting, but it is not that reliable, and it takes a lot of time to slowly cultivate trust between each other;

There were also Yan Yi's old subordinates, 10,000. This was the first rebel army to be surrendered after the Jin army came to Nanyang. Their reliability was also not high, but they fought side by side, and the boss died at Shi Le. They had a common enemy with the Jin army. It would not be difficult to digest them if it took a few months.

Finally, there were the Wang Ru rebels captured in the Battle of Rangcheng, with a total of 3,400 cavalry and 42,000 infantry. The reliability of this unit was undoubtedly the lowest, and it was simply impossible to defeat it. In addition, it was honest that if a big fight broke out, it was hard to say what kind of monsters these guys would make.

All Li Rui can do now is to break up this army and place it in various counties in Nanyang, and let them be responsible for building roads, repairing houses, consolidating unclaimed bodies, etc. At the same time, they select 8,000 of the most powerful and brave infantry from among them to form a new force, and treat them the same as the Jin army.

In addition, there are a large number of powerful armed forces in the area, and there are probably more than 10,000 people in total. However, the reliability of these powerful armed forces is not as reliable as the more than 40,000 prisoners. If the more than 40,000 prisoners are given food, they will help you do things. Those powerful armed forces are purely fence-bearing. When they see the Jin army strong, they will turn to the Jin army, and when they see the Hu people strong, they will turn to the Hu people. If they are reliable, the sows will climb trees!

The above are all the belongings on the Jin army. The ones that can be trusted most are Sima Fan’s three thousand Jingzhou veterans, Li Rui’s three thousand Wuhuan cavalry, and four thousand alien forces, totaling ten thousand people. The six thousand Jingzhou new recruits are also trustworthy, but they are new recruits after all, and they cannot be brought to the battlefield in a short period of time; the ten thousand imperial guards are relatively reliable, after all, there is no other place to go except Nanyang; as for the rest...

It’s such a bad thing. Not only can’t provide support, but it also takes some energy to guard against them. It’s so painful!

To be honest, with 20,000 veterans who have experienced many battles in their hands, this strength can be considered strong, at least in the south of the Yellow River, it can definitely be called powerful. But relying on these veterans to change their fate and support the building that the generals have fallen into is simply thinking too much.

Perhaps Sima Fanzhen had the idea of ​​bringing these 20,000 troops back to Luoyang, but with the last main force of the Jin army being wiped out in Ningping City, this unrealistic idea also disappeared. Now his idea was surprisingly consistent with Li Rui: no longer go to Xiao Xiang to turn the tide, focus on managing Nanyang, protecting Wanluo Ancient Road, and building this place into the doomsday ark of the Western Jin Dynasty. If Luoyang really can't be saved, the emperor, ministers and Luoyang military and civilians can also use Wanluo Ancient Road to retreat to Nanyang.

As for the time I came to Nanyang...

Whether to escape south to Jiangdong through Xiangfan, or stay in Nanyang to prepare for war, and when the time is right, counterattack on Luoyang will be the future. What they have to do now is to build this Ark of Doomsday as soon as possible!
