Soon, the movement outside the city spread to Ye County.

The command post at the head of Ye County, Xu Shu, Yu Ban, Xu Huang, and Zhou Cang gathered together.

"I heard that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a big quarrel in the camp tent, and the two sides decided to part ways. Yuan Shao retreated fifty miles, Cao Cao was gathering troops and horses, and the military order to attack the city was passed out. ”

Xu Shu stretched out his hand and tapped on the table, raised his head and said, "What do the generals think?" ”

seems to have been infected by Guo Jia, and after Xu Shu took charge alone, he also regarded military intelligence as the first priority in decision-making.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

Therefore, Xu Shu was full of eyeliner outside the city, and as soon as the enemy army moved, it reached his ears.

Got a big fight?

Yu Ban frowned and said, "Lord Thorn Shi, could this be a trap?" ”

As the first military general in Yunzhou, Yu Ban is notoriously cautious, and he has always liked to be upright in the use of soldiers, and rarely takes risks.

So when he heard the news, his first reaction was a trap.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao pretended to fall out, and then Cao Cao attacked the city, and waited until he was paralyzed and carelessly devoted himself to the confrontation with Cao Cao, and then killed a horse gun.

"I can't rule out the possibility!"

Xu Shu nodded slowly.

"If that's the case, we have to be extra careful, and while dealing with Cao Cao, we must also leave room to beware of Yuan Shao's sneak attack."

Yu Ban said in a deep voice.

Reasonable!

Xu Shu nodded.

This is also the safest way.

His gaze suddenly fell on Xu Huang's body.

"What does Komeito think?"

The difference between a strategist and a master is that one just says and the other needs to do it.

Before that, Xu Shu had always been the left army division of Yunzhou, and what he needed to do was to come up with ideas for Guo Jia and analyze various pros and cons.

But now that he has become the assassin of Jizhou and has become a talent to resist one side, the strategist is no longer suitable.

Therefore, he wants to motivate his subordinates and get the most objective opinions from them.

At this time, Xu Shu had completed the perfect transformation from a strategist to a party leader.

"Lord Thorn Shi!"

Xu Huang hugged his fists. said: "The last general has just arrived, and he doesn't know the situation in Jizhou. However, I agree with General Yu. The situation is unclear, and it is better to be cautious. ”

He was also a strict man.

You can say that again!

Xu Shu also nodded, very satisfied with Guo Jia's arrangement.

Jizhou's troops were weak, and they could only take a defensive position to suppress the forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and they could hold Ye County to wait for Yunzhou and Youzhou to divide the victory.

This may be a protracted battle, and it must require stable generals to defend Jizhou, so Guo Jia sent two stable generals to Xu Shu's side.

With the stability of these two people, coupled with Xu Shu's resourcefulness, most of them can protect Jizhou.

But not everyone is so steady, Zhou Cang, who has not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Lord Thorn Shi, two generals." The last general doesn't think so. Regardless of whether Yuan Shao and Cao Cao really broke or faked. Now Yuan Shao retreated fifty miles, leaving only Cao Cao's 20,000 troops and horses. Cao Cao's subordinates were all Xinna's county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, and the cavalry was scarce. Our side is full of veterans of a hundred battles, and there are nearly 10,000 cavalry. In terms of the ratio of troops, we have the advantage. Completely take advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shao's retreat, and concentrate superior forces to annihilate Cao Cao in one go. In this way, it will be easy to face 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers. This is a great time, and Lord Assassin must not let it go easily. ”

Through these years of hard work, Zhou Cang has also become a well-known general in Yunzhou, although he surrendered halfway, but his rich experience in using troops still allows him to grow to the greatest extent.

At present, Zhou Cang has become Yu Ban's right-hand man.

is a little different from Yu Ban's caution, Zhou Cang is very bold, which is also related to the fact that he has a good martial arts.

Oh!

Hearing Zhou Cang's words, Xu Shu was also a little surprised.

This big black man was a bit bold, and he disagreed with his superiors, which was rare in a hierarchical army.

"General Zhou, as you can see, how should we fight this battle?"

Xu Shu asked with interest.

Zhou Cang's spirits perked up, and he immediately pointed to the map on the ground and said, "We can let the cavalry out of the city overnight and pretend to withdraw." Then go to the north side of the hill to hide. Then when Cao Cao attacked the city, he bypassed the back road to attack him in a roundabout way. In this way, the front and back attacks will definitely be able to break the Dongjun soldiers. And Yuan Shao's army was fifty miles away, and only a small number of cavalry could rush back as soon as possible. It will take some time for the infantry to catch up. During this time, we can calmly eat the remnants of Cao Cao's troops, play Yuan Shao's cavalry head-on, and finally calmly retreat into the city. Even if Yuan Shao came back early halfway, our cavalry would return in vain, but they could still be stationed outside as a mobile and flexible force. Far better than nesting in the city. ”

Xu Huang on the side thought so.

In fact, from the very beginning, he did not agree to keep the cavalry in the city.

The reason why the cavalry is called cavalry is because it is flexible and mobile, once it is trapped in the city, it loses its due role, not only that, but the cavalry is also a money-burning thing, and the consumption of people eating horses and chewing every day is not a small amount if they do not fight. It's a bit of a waste to put it in the city.

Thorn History!

Xu Huang also hugged his fists and said: "General Zhou Cang is reasonable, aside from the rest, these 10,000 cavalry hiding in the city will not be of much use to defend the city, but will drag down the supply of grain and grass in the city." It may be a better option to let it out. The last general was willing to lead a large army to be stationed outside, and the inside of the city was a horn. A large number of enemies attacked, and Xu Huang would lead his troops to avoid it. A small group of enemies attacked, and Xu Huang would lead the army to rape them. ”

You can say that again!

Xu Shu had a smile on his face.

admired Guo Jia's vision so much.

Yu Ban's prudence, Zhou Cang's boldness, and Xu Huang's bravery, the three of them get together and are an excellent combination.

But......

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Shu's mouth.

Although the three of them have their own merits, they are still generals after all, and they don't look at the problem so comprehensively.

The order to defend the city was given by Guo Jia, and this lord was strategic, and he would never fight an uncertain war.

The only person in Jizhou who can guess Guo Jia's mind is Xu Shu.

Therefore, Jizhou must not only have a general who is in charge, but also Xu Shu, who is familiar with the entire battle situation and has a broad vision, to guard it.

If Yu Ban Xu Huang and Zhou Cang are the dragon head, dragon belly and dragon tail, then Xu Shu is the key to the finishing touch.

"Generals!"

Xu Shu suddenly said: "Do you know why Yuan Shao and Cao Cao invaded Jizhou? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw each other's doubts.

Needless to say?

Naturally, they coveted the land of Jizhou.

Tens of thousands of troops are coming, surely they are not here to send blessings?
