Chapter 1596: The Battle of Xuzhou (193)
After Guan Yu arrived in Yan County, Liu Lan began to pay close attention to the situation in Pei County, but Cao Cao's reaction also surprised him, fighting wits and courage, what choice he made Liu Lan had nothing to complain about, but since Cao Cao was temporarily shocked, then continue to look down.
But Cao Cao's side reassured Liu Lan, and there was a problem on the Qingzhou side, with Wen Chou's dispatch made Liu Lan worried, worried about Zhang Fei's safety, in fact, when he and Xu Shu discussed letting Zhang Fei enter Qingzhou, they also had a judgment, and the two came to the conclusion that Gao Ran and Wen Chou would not send troops to Donglai.
Although Liu Lan doesn't know whether this has anything to do with his withdrawal from Langya to Yan County, no matter how hidden the evacuation is, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, as long as Gao Ran and Wen Chou are willing, they will definitely be able to find out, if this is the case, then he really has no ability to stop Wen Chou from sending troops, but if it is not for this reason, then it can only be said that he made a mistake in judgment.
So he had to correct his mistakes, fortunately, although Zhang Fei was reckless, fortunately, there was also a Yan Zhi, and even the latest news he got was that Zhang Fei had definitely withdrawn to Liaodong early in the morning, it seems that even the militant Zhang Fei did not dare to fight with him easily, but the difference in strength was too great.
And just this morning, when Liu Lan was waiting for the latest information from the internal guard battalion, Xu Chu appeared.
"My lord, a young scribe has come to the county guard's mansion and said that he wants to defect to the lord." Xu Chu bowed down and said after seeing Liu Lan.
"A scribe?" Today's Xuzhou is not as good as before, anyone who wants to go out of office can go to the Zhaoxian Hall, of course, there are some people who want to take shortcuts, and they will also come directly to see themselves, but these people are often driven back by Xu Chu, but this one didn't know what to do, and actually persuaded Xu Chu to let him report the matter in person.
Liu Lan believes that this person must be different from the previous talents, otherwise it would be impossible to use the means on Xu Chu.
"Call him in, and I'll see him." Anyway, there is no news now, so Liu Lan simply saw it.
After a while, Xu Chu brought a man in his thirties, not tall, wearing a cloth shirt, with long hair, and his eyes were like torches.
No wonder Xu Chu made a special trip for this person, he glanced at Xu Chu, nodded at him with satisfaction, then looked at the scribe, got up, bowed and smiled: "Under Liu Lan, may I ask Mr. Gao's surname?" ”
The scribe bowed and saluted, and said: "The next surname is Mingyi, the word Ziyu, the people of Beihai Yingling, who have heard the name of General Liu for a long time, have come to serve." ”
"Yes!"
Liu Lan pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "In the early years, Kong Rong recommended a county official, but afterwards I went to Libi and learned that this person had gone south to Jiangdong. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Shi Yi was quite surprised.
"Of course, Kong Rong once told me a story, that is, your name is not Nai's, he said that the word "clan" and "people" are supreme, so he changed his name to "yes", only this thing, I have always remembered this person, and after I went south to Moling, I am still looking for this person, but there has been no news, I didn't expect that I was looking for you not to find, but you came to see me! “
If it were someone else, Liu Lan might still test his talents, but if it was Yi, Liu Lan would have nothing to do with the school, such a person would not be used, who else could he use, of course, Liu Lan still did not know much about his ability, so he still had to give him a more suitable position through observation, so that he could be like a fish in water.
All this came naturally, and then after the lord and the ministers met, Liu Lan motioned for him to sit down, and after the two of them sat down one after another, he motioned to sit down and said: "I heard that the lord is worried about the affairs of Qingzhou? ”
Although I don't know if this matter is whether he learned from other people's mouths or judged it by himself, but this is all his ability, since he saw it and said it, it shows that he has a way, otherwise he would not speak rashly, laughing at himself: "I won't hide the truth from you, the things that bother me now are not only Qingzhou." ”
Shi Yi smiled slightly: "I have heard the name of the lord for a long time, and I have heard that the lord has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and I thought that the lord of the third battle of Xuzhou would be able to withdraw easily with a little trickery, but I didn't expect to be so troubled." ”
"I wonder if Mr. has any clever plan to help me break the enemy? Please advise! ”
"The third battle of Xuzhou, the reason why I think that the main guild will easily withdraw from the army, is that I think the main guild will be quick to decide, but from the perspective of all developments, the lord has committed a taboo, although it seems that the total strength of the enemy army is superior, the lord does not want to confront it head-on, so a series of actions whether it is to hide from the sky or surround Wei to save Zhao or even take the initiative to cede Qingzhou, but although these seem to be for the final victory, but the enemy is bent on destroying my heart and not dying, these measures will become meaningless, if the lord gathers all his strength to deal with one side in the morningAlthough the enemy army has a large number of troops, the enemy is three forces after all, and if the lord can take the lead in defeating one of them, the enemy army has already been defeated.
And now a big slaughter is coming, but whether it is after the sky or the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao has lost its effect, Yuan Shao is not worried about the loss of Youzhou, and is about to completely calm down his personal trouble, and the siege of Wei to save Zhao has lost its effect, and of course Cao Cao is looking around, if you want to solve the current situation, you can either go all out to break Cao Cao, or go all out to completely defeat Yuan Shao, but this result is what the lord did not want to see at first, which also caused the lord to withdraw Guan Yu back to Yan County now, or want to avoid the enemy, But if you think about it, can you really avoid war? Once Qingzhou is controlled, it is inevitable that the Jizhou army will move south, and then General Guan will fight with the Jizhou army and Yancheng, and ask if the current Cao Cao will take advantage of the fire to rob? Therefore, if the lord wants to solve the current dilemma, he can only start with one side first! ”
Liu Lan was silent, thought for a moment and said, "Do you have to attack Cao Cao?" ”
Yike shook his head and said: "With all due respect, Cao Cao is not worth mentioning, it is easy to let Cao Cao withdraw from the army, but it is Zhang Xun." ”
Liu Lan's eyes lit up, and he stood up: "What Mr. means is that he made a desperate attempt to attack Zhang Xun and defeated the Shouchun army, and Cao Cao was alone and naturally retreated." ”
"No, Cao Cao and Zhang Xun's coalition are inseparable, if the lord wants to attack Zhang Xun, he will definitely fight with Cao Cao, and then it will be a decisive battle."
Liu Lan nodded, and hesitated for a long time: "Since this is the case, how should we retreat from the enemy?" ”
"Shouchun!"
Shi Yi smiled lightly and said: "Has the lord forgotten that Shouchun is in Pei County under the leadership of Zhang Xun at the moment, then Shouchun must be empty, the lord besieged Wei to save Zhao only thought of Youzhou, but forgot the second battle of Xuzhou, the lord retreated from the army is not to surround Shouchun and relieve the siege!" ”
"Shouchun!" Liu Lan instantly looked at the map on the side of the hall, but the place where his eyes were staring was the Whisker Dock.
Shi Yi said with a smile: "It seems that the lord has a strategy to retreat, although it is not clear what the lord's intention was to use Lu Su to build a dock fort in the water of the water, but he thinks about it, it must be to attack Shouchun to sit on the springboard and foundation, since this is the case, then why not try it now first, how about the effect?" ”
"There are only 5,000 people in the Wet Whisker Dock, and there are some Zhou Tai naval troops, but the existence of the naval army is to be able to retreat, after all, if these 5,000 people are really sent by Yuan Shuzhen to attack, it is really not enough to strike a blow, so the naval army stays to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but if you want to use these 5,000 people to attack Shouchun, can it be effective?"
Liu Lan is a little afraid to take risks now, although the surprise attack on Shouchun before was a combination of Zhang Fei and Lu Su, and now let a Confucian general like Lu Su attack Shouchun, can it have the effect of the year?
The scribe bowed and saluted, and said: "The next surname is Mingyi, the word Ziyu, the people of Beihai Yingling, who have heard the name of General Liu for a long time, have come to serve." ”
"Yes!"
Liu Lan pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "In the early years, Kong Rong recommended a county official, but afterwards I went to Libi and learned that this person had gone south to Jiangdong. ”
