Chapter 1572: The Battle of Xuzhou (169)
Xu Shu is definitely a roundworm in Liu Lan's stomach, after being together for so many years, making strategic plans together, what he is thinking at the moment, he knows very well in his heart, but smart people know when to pretend to be confused, and if they behave too much, they will only make the superior jealous, this is a big taboo, maybe Liu Lan will not behave now, but he may not be able to cause trouble one day.
It is said that history is a mirror, but the sugar water of the right is enough to make people forget those so-called lessons from the past, countless histories are repeated, he Xu Shu constantly reminds himself every day to be more cautious and careful, not to make mistakes easily, and how dare to swagger into the market and be suspicious of the lord.
If the monarch is suspicious, the minister will die, and if the minister suspects the king, the minister will be opposed, the right is simple to pick up and put down, but it is difficult, especially Xu Shu's current situation, which has almost reached the highest peak of the people, if Liu Lan is the Son of Heaven, then he is the third prince is the captain, Liu Lan trusts him, but at the same time, it is also possible to prevent him, from the moment he mistakenly entered the general of Zhengxi, he was transferred away from the internal guard, this intelligence center can be seen that the core secret is difficult for him to touch in the future, and now it is stained with Chen Guo's light, but once Chen Guo comes back, He is a military advisor who has no real power.
Military advisor, it seems that the general's mansion is above 10,000 people under one person, but this does not mean that you have military power, but only the respect of identity and status, but the more he knows this, the more he understands that all this is given by Liu Lan, he can give it to himself, and he can also take it back to others, this position does not have much real power, you don't sit Some people rush to sit, and people may not be much worse than you, a Chen Palace is enough to explain many problems, don't forget that there is also Lu Su Yan Rou and even Liu Lan has always been thinking about Zhuge Liang, For this reason, he made a special trip to Jingzhou.
It was because he knew that everything he had was just a pipe in the air that he knew more about how he could play such a power game.
Xu Shu wanted to retreat, but Liu Lan, who had been staring at the map of Pei County, stopped him and asked him to conduct a deduction with himself, at this moment he wanted to learn from Guan Yu as Chen Gong to deduce how he would defend Pei County in the future, and Xu Shu would act as Cao Cao, he wanted to see what the final result would be.
Three games in a row, Liu Lan was defeated without exception, if Liu Lan was allowed to deduce from the moment Cao Cao arrived in Pei County at the beginning, I am afraid that he would have returned to Xuzhou a long time ago, from this point of view, he is still not as strong as Chen Gongqiang in the battle to defend the city, and naturally there will be no better plan to turn the tide.
And at this moment, Chen Gong is bound to make a new round of deployment to Peixian, after three active attacks, Cao Cao suffered a blow, but such a blow did not hurt the muscles and bones, it can only be called a heavy blow, but with the strength of Cao Yuan's coalition army, such a heavy blow is not enough for Cao Cao to retreat, and judging from the latest intelligence, it is the same as he expected.
The next defense is naturally based on the previous plan, and only in this way can we really hold Peixian, but since this plan will continue to be implemented, then the troops defending the city must be replaced, and now the regular army of Peixian County has been overloaded for three days of operations, defending the city and attacking, if they continue to use them like this, the defeat will not be far from them.
"Inform Shan Taishou, let him transfer all the county soldiers to garrison the city tower, and try to recruit the young people in the city to conduct some emergency training."
"Let the young man defend the city? But the lord has a clear ......" Xu Sheng didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Chen Gong: "The matter is urgent, not to mention that I am in charge here, I know what to do and what not to do, not to mention that this is not to let them die, I use it myself." ”
"No." Xu Sheng is now obedient to Chen Gong, after all, he has defeated Cao Jun three times in a row, and he can achieve such a brilliant victory under the absolute disadvantage, let alone him, even if he is replaced by Guan Yu, he may be impressed by Chen Gong, this situation has great magic power for generals like them, and it can make them trust them in a short period of time.
Chen Gong said and turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and said: "General Zhang, after Shan Taishou recruits these young people, you will be responsible for training as their generals, and your headquarters will be temporarily commanded by Xu Sheng, I hope that there will be no mistakes in the state army, you need to explain this matter to Zhang Fan and them, if I order Xu Sheng to go out on the expedition and even delay the military plane, then don't blame my military law for being ruthless, let alone killing." ”
Chen Gong's eyes flickered like flames, anyone could see the shining murderous intent in it, Zhang Liao felt a pang in his heart, such a thing of mutual restraint was not uncommon under the Wen Hou tent back then, and Chen Gong remembered this scene the most undoubtedly the contradiction between him and Gao Shun, it can be said that this was the reason for their final defeat, so he didn't want to be on Liu Lan's side, and the state army still retained those bad habits in the past.
Chen Gong must take precautions for this matter, if he doesn't think about it much, if it happens, he won't even have a chance to regret it, just like Gao Shun, his current situation is actually no different from that of Liu Lan, but why does he never let go, is there a reason why he has already returned to Liu Lan, he is not willing to be a minister in the same palace with him again?
It's hard to say, but he knows it in his heart, there must be some reasons, and in the face of the former enemy, and the state army was suddenly commanded by Xu Sheng, will there be such a situation, it is not a taste in his heart, it is difficult to guarantee that there is not, when the time comes, Zhang Fan and others are okay if they are calm, but if they are hot-headed and delay the military plane, then he may not even have the opportunity to kill, so he can only talk about the scandal in front.
In fact, what he originally thought of was to let Gao Shun hand over the troops and let him train the new pawns, but this would bring more trouble, that is, Gao Shun and his soldiers were the Xuzhou army with strong roots, and they were suddenly transferred to Zhang Liao's account, and there may also be some dissatisfaction.
Fortunately, Zhang Liao is a smart man, he understands the severity and understands his hard work and intentions, when he clenched his fists and handed over his hands: "General rest assured, the last general understands your good intentions, I will tell them, and I will train the new soldiers well to ensure that they can become qualified soldiers in a short time." ”
Chen Gong nodded slowly, the two of them didn't need to say too much, if they were someone else at the moment, once he didn't understand or even cooperate, then he could only spend some time to explain, and now he didn't need to do so.
The two turned around and left together, while Chen Gong stood up and walked towards Zhongcheng, the outer city has always been Zhang Liao's deployment, Zhang Fan and other generals are stationed, plus he has investigated several times, there can be guaranteed that there is nothing wrong, but the middle city and the inner city have obviously been almost abandoned because they have lost their meaning, but at this moment, he has to resist the two captains of Pei County and Pei County, and they will strengthen the city defense of the inner city and the middle city respectively.
Of course, this requires them to gather the people to do it, fortunately, after years of development in Pei County, with a large population, everything will become simpler, but in the past, it cost money and food to do such a thing in Pei County, but now that the war is imminent, it is Chen Gong who is in charge, and some of them are voluntary, of course, the two captains and supervisors cannot be too harsh, and if there are casualties, Chen Gong will not spare them.
In this way, Pei County can guarantee its absolute safety in terms of defense, even if the outer city is forced, the inner city can still be resisted, and the city of Pei County is also the strongest city he has ever seen.
Liu Lan is strong with boulders, supplemented by the cement things that he heard about at the beginning, which makes the city wall stronger, plus a fortress with increased power such as a bed crossbow, which he has never seen before, and all this in front of him is what he did not have when he attacked Pei County with Lu Bu, and he still remembers that the city wall of Pei County at that time was directly smashed by catapults, if it were not for other circumstances, Gao Shun's trap camp had already entered the city.
But it was precisely because of that battle that Lu Bu could no longer have the idea of attacking Peixian, Gao Shun was extremely opposed at that time, and he made a plan to attack Xu Du, but at that time, it seemed that his plan was perfect, but in terms of results, his plan failed, because it indirectly led to the demise of Lu Bu's group.
But there is one point, it is precisely because he saw the solid city wall that he went to understand the situation, and the appearance of this cement is actually completely because of the things that appeared after the catapult smashed the city wall, and the reinforcement of the city wall of Peixian County and the construction of the middle city and the outer city are completely because of them.
But now it seems that even if they didn't attack Xuzhou at the beginning, but chose Gaoshun to attack Pei County again, there may never be a situation where they can break the city with catapults, even if they attack the city on a large scale, there is no chance of winning, but if it is a siege, it is a dead end when they must fight quickly.
At that moment, no matter which plan they chose, it was a dead end, Chen Gong was a little helpless, but if they didn't take action, then they would still be consumed in the end, although they would become a buffer between Cao and Liu, but as long as one party really wanted to attack the counterpart, then they would also be wiped out by the way.
The situation is such a situation, after coming out of the middle city, Chen Gong walked to the outer city, he would go to the outer city every day to take a look, Cao Cao had no movement yesterday, but it does not mean that Cao Cao has not moved, after all, his purpose is not to fight quickly, but to pull out Pei County's thorn in the flesh before Yuan Liu fights, so after the death of the large siege equipment, he will not be too anxious to come to the siege now, and maybe he has even dropped the large siege equipment from the rear?
It's all possible.
Walking up to the city tower, Chen Gong, who only brought more than a dozen guards, habitually observed the situation outside the city, when he was under Lu Bu's tent before, his role was more like the current Xu Shu, but at this moment he became the chief general of Pei County, and he may even affect the entire occupation and even affect the overall situation because of him, such an identity change is definitely what he once dared to think and dare not do, but it really happened at this moment.
A platform to be able to display his lifelong ambitions and show what he has learned in his life, such an opportunity is exciting, and even the situation of losing Cao Cao three times in a row is something he never dared to believe before, although it may have appeared before, but he will not count the results achieved under Lu Bu's hands on his head, because such a victory will not be recorded on his head, maybe everyone knows that it is his plan.
But now he can follow his own ideas, and even do whatever he wants, and this is all he really wants, he can look at his enemies calmly and calmly from the castle tower, waiting for their reaction, whereas he couldn't before, he has to find ways to convince Lu Bu, and even he will become introverted and angry because some people are old and oppose him.
But now there is no one, no one is no longer his own constraint, he can learn from Jiang Taigong to sit on a fishing platform, and even now he can't wait to put on that fishing rod and cast bait on the moat above the city tower, what a transcendent thing?
