"In this case, the general must let that old man Liu Yuan know how powerful our army is!" Dou Xian twisted his neck and said.
"What does the general want?" Yu Wentai didn't expect Dou Xian to think of a way to deal with it so quickly.
The Dou family, whether big or small, is also a lineage of relatives. The Dou family's daughter, Dou Yifang, Li Jieyu, is a third-rank official, and she still has a certain status in the palace.
Dou Xian has been in the army for many years, and although he has made some small contributions, he really can't stand out among the huge Jin army. But Dou Xian was able to figure out how to use troops so quickly. It can be seen that this man's talent really surprised Yu Wentai.
"According to what Fushui Fang said, old man Liu Yuan doesn't seem to know the true strength of our army!" Dou Xian said with a chuckle.
"Of course it is!" Yu Wentai nodded. He seemed to have guessed that Dou Xian was going to manipulate the number of their troops.
The only ones left alive during their journey were Liu Cong and a few people who broke out at that time. However, it was dark at night and the other party was in a hurry to escape. Yu Wentai didn't think that the other party had the intention to observe them, let alone I don't think the other party can find out the number of their troops in this situation.
"That's it, let's leave three thousand people hidden in the dark. When I draw the enemy's troops away, this army can directly attack the old thief Liu Yuan! If Liu Yuan dies, no matter how many troops he has, they will be nothing more than a pile of scattered sand!" Dou Xian Xian said with confidence.
The enemy still doesn't know their true and false status. This is the only opportunity they can take advantage of and the only chance they can win.
After all, Dou Xian is really not Liu Yuan's opponent if he really fights head-on. Although 30,000 of the opponent's 45,000 people were herders, the remaining 15,000 were actual Yuan-Meng regular troops. The combat power of this army was not at all inferior to the 20,000 cavalry under Dou Xian's command.
No matter how good Dou Xian's men were at fighting, it would still not be optimistic to use 5,000 men to fight against the opponent's 30,000 herdsmen.
"General Yuwen, these 3,000 people are entrusted to you to command. The lives of this general and all my brothers are also entrusted to the general! In addition, General Shi also went to help the general." Dou Xian faced Yuwentai with a solemn expression. .
In this battle, it doesn't matter how Dou Xian and the others fight. As long as Yuwentai can succeed, then they will win this battle.
Even, in order to ensure the smooth operation of Yuwentai, Shi Gandang, the only god-level warrior among General Dou Xian, was also assigned to Yuwentai.
Although only one of the three god-level generals of the Liangzhou Legion was dispatched this time, it was Shi Gandang who was the strongest among the three.
As far as Liu Yuan is concerned, he has summoned such a large force. Even if he cannot win, he thinks that there is no possibility of losing. Therefore, of course he had to fight for this kind of thing where he could make a profit without losing any money.
As for Dou Xian, if he wants to make a difference in this battle, then he has to fight this battle.
If Liu Yuan's troops are not defeated now, will they wait until other troops from Yuan Meng arrive to support them? Will they fight again at that time?
After all, even the combined military strength of the three states only has 60,000 cavalry!
Today's princes, plus the grassland forces, were originally the biggest threat to the Jin army, and the most difficult enemy for the Jin army to deal with. Of course, it is impossible to compete with Yuan Meng with just these 60,000 cavalry!
If Dou Xian wants to play a role in this battle, he can only break up the enemy before reinforcements arrive, and first defeat Liu Yuan's troops.
Otherwise, when the enemy's reinforcements arrive later and the two troops merge together, Dou Xian will be prepared to be driven away by the enemy!
Although the reason why the soldiers and horses of the three states came out of the grassland was essentially to prevent Yuanmeng from being able to further increase his strength in the Western Regions, and also to prevent Yuanmeng from intervening in the affairs between Tuoba Wei and Manchu, even if they were defeated by the enemy They are forced to run away, but as long as they can hold back the enemy's strength, the goal can be considered accomplished.
However, Dou Xian would still feel a little uncomfortable if he used this method to achieve his goal.
"General Dou, as the commander-in-chief of the army, how can the general be in danger here? Yuwentai is not talented. He is willing to lead the army to fight Liu Yuan and trouble General to attack Liu Yuan's army!" Yuwentai said hesitantly.
In fact, in this battle, the one on the frontal battlefield is the most dangerous one. After all, the one on the frontal battlefield needs 17,000 troops to counter the enemy's more than 40,000 troops.
"No! There are already many enemies with a small number. Only if I personally lead the army to charge and kill can I boost morale and wait for the general to succeed!" Dou Xian shook his head and said.
It will take time for Dou Xian to attract all the enemy's troops, and it will take time for Yuwentai to explode the enemy's Xiaoju. If they want to survive this period of time, they may not be able to do without their general.
Moreover, Yu Wentai thought wrong. Dou Xian did not plan to use 17,000 men to fight the enemy army, but planned to use 14,000 men to fight the enemy army. He did not plan to call back the 3,000 vanguard troops of Ashu at all.
The enemy army has gathered so many strong herdsmen, and each tribe is empty. This is the time to steal their butts. If the enemy army received the news that their tribe was attacked by surprise, they would definitely be in chaos. Even those tribes that have ignored it for the time being will be worried about these lessons.
After finishing speaking, Dou Xian led several other generals to reorganize their troops without waiting for Yu Wentai to speak again. Instead of waiting for the enemy to come to them, they might as well take the initiative and catch the enemy by surprise.
Moreover, Dou Xian has never been a general who passively waits for the enemy to attack. What he is best at is taking the initiative. Once a fighter is caught, he will not give up easily. Every time he defeats the enemy, he will fight fiercely without giving the enemy a chance to breathe. He will try his best to annihilate the enemy in pursuit.
"Ding, Dou Xian's champion skill is activated.
Champion: Those who win the title of the entire army and are awarded the title of champion have a certain chance of awakening. The actual effect of awakening varies for different people..."
Huo Qubing did not live long, but he created two peaks that everyone in later generations of generals aspire to climb and surpass: the title of Champion Hou, and the achievement of sealing the wolf as Juxu.
Throughout the millennium of history, there have been very few famous generals who have been able to seize the title of Wolf, and only four have been able to win the title of Champion. Because "championship" means winning the entire army, this is not something that can be achieved casually no matter what period it is placed in.
However, among the four, one is Huo Shan, Huo Qubing's son. According to "Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussar" and "Book of Han: Biography of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing", after Huo Qubing's death, his son Huo Shen inherited the title of "Champion Marquis", but Huo Shenfu was short-lived and died at a young age.
The other one is Jia Fu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. Although he is a Confucian scholar, he is known as a fierce general. He provided great help to Liu Xiu to pacify the world and establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, although he is also a strong general and has made many great contributions, he is just one of the many strong generals in history. He has neither achieved the achievements of Huo Qubing nor created his own story like Dou Xian. , he is just an ordinary member among the mighty generals in history, so he has always been quite controversial.
Historically, Liu Xiu may have felt that it was not appropriate to grant Jia the title of Champion Marquis, so he changed his title to Jiaodong Marquis.
Therefore, in history, the only ones who can truly deserve the honorary title of Champion are Huo Qubing and Dou Xian.
Yes, Dou Xian is also one of the recipients of the honorary title of Champion, and one of the two most qualified recipients. The Xiongnu attacked several times and achieved complete victory, and also set another peak besides Fenglang Juxu - Le Shi Yanran.
If it weren't for his own style as a powerful minister, I'm afraid his influence would not be less than Huo Qubing.
