Chapter 838: Li Yan's Calculation
"It's time, Chen Junshou is betting on the other party's courage, because it's the afternoon to challenge, so it's almost the right time." Before Chen Deng could answer, Gan Ning had already reacted, and looked at Chen Deng's expression with a much more solemn expression.
"There is only more than an hour left before dark, if you lead the army to challenge, it is the most reasonable situation to withdraw after an hour of battle, but the other party will definitely lead the troops to drag you down, and then send people to attack Xiapi." Gan Ning said to Zhang Fei with a look of admiration.
"That's it, in that case, it is the most correct choice to drag us down, and then fight at night to storm Pi, fighting us may not have results, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not easy to be able to capture Pi, once they capture Pi, they will gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou." Chen Deng nodded and said.
"What's more important is that once you capture Xiapi, it will be much easier to go back and attack you again, and it is very likely that you can take it in one fell swoop." Gan Ning looked at Chen Deng's face with a lot of admiration, he liked this kind of capable character.
"How's that? We will write a war letter today and invite the other side to fight tomorrow and tomorrow with the plain eighty miles south of Xiapi City. Chen Deng looked at Zhang Fei and said, he needed to make some preparations to ensure that even if Zhang Fei was not in a short period of time, he would not be attacked by the other party.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to us, and I think Xiaozhi will definitely carry over your plan perfectly." Gan Ning nodded and said.
"That couldn't be better." Chen Deng didn't say anything else, it can be regarded as a test for Fazheng, if he can't even do this kind of thing, then it's better not to use the strategy in the future, he really doesn't feel at ease.
"Yide. I'm going to return to Xiaozhi, and I may need to come back again. Gan Ning waved at Zhang Fei. I'm ready to slip away.
"Why don't you eat before you leave?" Zhang Fei asked.
"No need, get me two roast chickens. There's beef and two more pieces of beef. Gan Ning immediately retreated and asked Zhang Fei to bring him some meat.
"There is beef, a fat cow that fell to its death not long ago." Zhang Fei said with a haha, needless to say, this cow definitely did not die in an accident.
"Just give me two pieces of beef spine and a roast chicken, just me and Xiaozhi, and I don't have to share it with others." Gan Ning said unceremoniously, he didn't have Hua Xiong's idea of eating and living with the soldiers, only the rewards and punishments were clear!
Then Gan Ning took the roast chicken in his hand, took the beef and left. And Zhang Fei took out the paper and wrote hard, which probably means that yesterday your Yuzhou army Li Yan came to set up a formation to challenge, but it was broken by me, today I have a day off, and I will let you see the military formation of our army tomorrow, and then I am in such and such a place, if you dare to come, you will give a reply!
After this war letter was sent, Li Tong immediately led Li Yan and they discussed, not because they were afraid of Zhang Fei. I just need to think about whether there is a need to consume troops in Xuzhou, after all, they are already steadily withdrawing in the direction of the Yangtze River estuary, and there is no need to worry about Xuzhou.
A group of seven or eight people gossiped, stunned that no conclusion was discussed. These people were all promoted by Zhou Yu in Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty. The ability is also good, so it is difficult to convince the other party when arguing.
"Why don't you speak?" Li Tong listened to the meaning of a military general, and he was also a little uncertain. In the end, it is a fight, whether it is a win or a draw. The retreat of the scenery is still for the sake of Zhou Yu's strategic plan, and he slowly retreated, but in fact, he did not win a battle.
"I'm wondering if Zhang Fei understands the military formation." Li Yan frowned and said.
"What's the important thing about this, if you don't understand those difficult military formations, don't you understand ordinary sharp arrow formations, circular formations?" Huo Jun said with a smile, "I can't say that the other party is just looking for a reason to fight." ”
"No, it's very important, if Zhang Fei doesn't understand the military formation, but wants to fight with us, then there must be someone else who arranges the formation, he is just commanding and scheduling, and the Xiapi who can understand the military formation is probably only Chen Deng." Li Yan looked sideways at Huo Jun, with a solemnity in his eyes.
"What's wrong with that?" Huo Jun hadn't reacted yet, and looked at Li Yan in confusion, but found that Lai Min and Li Tong were both bowing their heads and pondering.
Soon, the two of them looked at Li Yan with flashing eyes, and Li Tong opened his mouth and asked, "Zhengfang, then how much do you think it is likely that Chen Deng is in formation." ”
"I don't know, but I think it's necessary to be prepared, what if it's really Chen Deng? Don't miss the opportunity and come again, you two, what do you think? Li Yan looked at Li Tong and said, obviously preparing with both hands.
"It really should be." Li Tong almost didn't hesitate and immediately said, what Li Yan said is very reasonable, this kind of situation where there is hope for a turnaround is indeed a bit undesirable.
"However, Zhengfang, if you are the only one, I'm afraid it will not be easy to hold off the other party." Lai Min opened his mouth and said, after all, he also knows a little bit about military formations, although it is not profound, but he can still do it by listening to Li Yan's dispatch, which shows Lai Min's personality.
"General, can you let me go with General Li to deal with Zhang Fei, a certain family is not talented, and he has a little access to the military formation." As a general selected by Zhou Yu in Yuzhou, Liang Xi can also be regarded as an excellent talent, and the one who can stabilize him on the scene is probably Li Yan, and following the strong is Liang Xi's instinct to survive in troubled times.
"It's fine." Li Tong glanced at Liang Xi, "Zhengfang, how do you look at this, with Ziyu as your lieutenant." ”
"If it's really Chen Deng's formation, I will try my best to hold back the other party, and the rest depends on you." Li Yan nodded and said.
At this time, Gan Ning was eating beef with Fa, and while eating, he listened to Gan Ning tell about the things in Pi City.
"Oh, that's right." Fa Zheng wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, grabbed the beef and smiled, "Chen Yuanlong is really good, you go back to Xiapi in a while, lead nine thousand people out of the city from the city tonight, and you will see tomorrow night, the people Zhou Yu likes will not be mediocre, but it is precisely because they are all people with good abilities that they will not stick to the convention, this kind of person is easy to deal with." ”
Gan Ning was nibbling on the beef, while listening to Fa Zheng's explanation, his eyes became brighter and brighter, no accident, if the Yuzhou army really rose up tomorrow, it would definitely be impossible to escape being counted to death by Fa Zheng.
"After the fight, I can go home and get married, should I marry my sister-in-law too." Fa Zheng said to Gan Ning happily, Originally, the cousin of Wang Yi of the Fufeng Wang family was Fa Zheng's marriage partner, but Fa Zheng was kicked by the Wang family, of course, Jiang Ying didn't come, Fa Zheng was dismissed twice, this poor child.
"When the time comes, I'll remember to send you a bucket of pearls, plus a few tusks, gold and silver utensils, etc.," Gan Ning said with a smile, "But I don't have many pearls of other colors, but I can manage enough white ones." (To be continued......)
