Chapter 1442: The Battle of Xuzhou (39)
The news of Guan Yu's arrival in Wuxian and Zhang Fei's request for war came almost at the same time, and the reactions of the two were expected by Liu Lan, especially Zhang Fei, it would be strange if he didn't give birth to some moths, for him, Liu Lan would not be polite, for these generals under his account, they all had to take the right medicine, just like Zhang Fei, this kid, you must not be polite, otherwise you will be sure to kick your nose and face.
After all, in the Battle of Jiujiang, his troops suffered the greatest losses, and the distance they traveled was also the farthest, so it was entirely for his good to let his troops rest and recuperate, so let these soldiers be physically and mentally exhausted to fight, and then ensure that the whole army was annihilated.
Even if the battle of Xuzhou can be won in the end, but it is worth the loss to pay such a big price, thinking of this, Liu Lan directly replied to an inaccurate, and did not say any extra words, that is, to let him stay in Guangling with peace of mind and help defend Xiapi at any time, and then what Liu Lan had to do was to wait for the coming of the big war, of course, the most important thing was to pay attention to Cao Cao's movements.
Although Cao Cao discovered his scout and carried out some confusion, how could Liu Lan fall for him, he was completely sure of Cao Cao's intention to attack Pei County,
But in the next few days, there was no news from the scouts, and there was no more information from Yanzhou.
This is the first duel in so many years that Liu Lan is in the situation of a blind man, of course, he believes that Cao Cao will be like this, and the next battle of Xuzhou will undoubtedly evolve into a big scuffle.
But there is one point that Liu Lan obviously has an advantage over Cao Cao, that is, he has a sand table, which is more accurate than the map, on the sand table, the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou counties are all included, and after countless improvements, Liu Lan can say that this sand table is far from any map can be compared, although there is still a big gap with the military sand table he saw in later generations, but there is already a prototype, with the improvement of science and technology, he believes that one day one day he will make his ideal sand table.
Although the current sand table still has such and such shortcomings, but it is enough, Liu Lan habitually inserted Cao Jun's black chess pieces in Pei County, and Xu Shu, who has not spoken, wrinkled lightly every day, this battle He made several possible analyses of Cao Cao's intentions, and Cao Cao's attack on Pei County is the most possible, to be honest, at the moment when the lord swore so much, he became more and more unconfident in his heart, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would not come, so the deployment made was not only empty, There is also the possibility of being raided by Cao Cao.
"Lord, how sure are you about Cao Cao's attack on Pei County?"
Liu Lan pondered for a moment and said: "Not sure, even now I don't even know where Cao Cao is, but I know that Cao Cao will definitely come to attack Xuzhou, I don't doubt this, otherwise he will not join the Shouchun army, as long as he knows this, it doesn't matter where he attacks, anyway, we are going to fight with Cao Cao in Xuzhou." ”
Xu Shu glanced at Liu Lan, smiled slightly, and said, "What the lord said is true." And he can be regarded as completely letting go of his ambitions in his heart, and the lord can think like this, which makes his pressure suddenly reduced by more than half.
"Still." Liu Lan said suddenly on the side: "I'm still the most single-minded person now, if they go south, have you ever thought about it?" ”
"I've thought about it." Xu Shu said, in fact, he and Liu Lan thought the same, after all, this is the deployment made by the two, Langya Army plus Xuzhou Army, the current Xuzhou Army is actually a mobile force, where there is war support, Liu Lan glanced at Xu Shu, and when he saw him brushing his beard, Liu Lan did not continue to kiss, just muttered to himself, "But you can't underestimate Yan Liang." ”
"My lord, in fact, there is a bold idea when the end comes."
Xu Shu suddenly came to the sand table, and suddenly lifted the flag marked Guan Yu and inserted it straight into Langya, after all, whether it is them or the enemy, they will think of the start of the big war, Zhao Yun must be supporting Langya, Guan Yu is supporting Peixian, but if we do the opposite, will it disrupt the enemy's deployment?
"You mean, our focus has become Yuan Shao?" Liu Lan suddenly fell silent.
"Yes, the last general believes that even if Yuan Shao goes south, he must just want to reap the benefits, and he will never do his best, plus Peixian and other counties have Cao Jun attacking, with the current situation, they will definitely not think that we will defend him with all our might, then once Yuan Shaojun encounters Guan Yu's mountain camp, I am afraid that in that case we can beat them back to Linzi in one battle, and then turn around and deal with Cao Cao, there is no reason to be invincible."
Liu Lan was silent, this plan really surprised him, but what he said was not impossible, or it would definitely happen, with Yuan Shaojun's current situation, especially in Donglai, he didn't even encounter the slightest resistance, no matter who it was, they would believe that now their main target was just Cao Cao, and they would only let them go, at that time, suddenly as long as they came to attack, they would be able to kill them by surprise, but the real key was actually not to determine whether Yan Liang went south, this is the biggest problem, If you can be sure, it's easy.
Xu Shu smiled lightly and said, "Actually, we can secretly let Yun Chang and Zilong change their guards, and if Yan Liang goes south at that time, we will defeat them in a battle, and if they don't come, we will go all out to deal with Cao Cao." ”
"But have you ever thought that in that case, we are likely to completely tear the skin with Yuan Shao."
"General, Yan Liang came to attack this battle, it was they who provoked first, we defended last, Yuan Shao did not have the moral upper hand, and secondly, as long as we can beat Yuan Shao in this battle, so that he no longer dares to have the idea of attacking Xuzhou, coupled with the current movement in Yecheng, Yuan Shao can only suffer in a muffled voice." Xu Shu swore that now a few people who really have weight in Yecheng support Cao Cao, if Yuan Shao suffers defeat here in Liu Lan, then will he still come to Xuzhou, obviously he will not dare in a short time, after all, after a long journey, Yuan Shao may not be sure of victory, so he can only stare at Cao Cao to fight.
This is Yuan Shao's current psychology, Liu Lan still agrees with Xu Shu's analysis, but the general has changed it again and again, but he is afraid that Guan Yu will come and complain to him repeatedly, Liu Lan looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile, "This appointment is drafted by you." ”
At the same time as Liu Lan's side responded, Cao Cao's side and Cao Ren and Zhang Xun completely converged, and after the 100,000 army was allied with blood, they set off to kill Pei County, marching mightily along the way, in order to ensure the safety of the troops, the scouts can be described as three layers inside and three layers outside, ensuring that no scout can get close.
For this battle, Cao Cao and Zhang Xun did not dare to have any negligence, and for logistics support, Yuan Shu's early 50,000 stone grain and grass have begun to be delivered in batches, all of which have been hoarded in Xiayi County, and the logistics have been guaranteed, and Cao Cao is even more confident in this battle.
And with the arrival of the main force of Cao's army in Xiayi County, in fact, the news blockade was already difficult to blockade again, and it soon spread to Pei County, but at this time, Cao Cao had already entered the territory of Pei County and killed directly towards Pei County.
The news came like wings, although Pei County had already prepared, but when I heard that the 200,000 army was coming, it still caused a lot of panic, but fortunately, there was a new Pei County Guard Shan Zichun to appease the people, and the situation did not deteriorate because of this, but it only led to a sharp rise in grain in the county, but under the suppression and control of Shan Zichun, the price of grain was suppressed, and it fell rapidly, and Pei County was able to settle down again.
Although the current sand table still has such and such shortcomings, but it is enough, Liu Lan habitually inserted Cao Jun's black chess pieces in Pei County, and Xu Shu, who has not spoken, wrinkled lightly every day, this battle He made several possible analyses of Cao Cao's intentions, and Cao Cao's attack on Pei County is the most possible, to be honest, at the moment when the lord swore so much, he became more and more unconfident in his heart, he was really afraid that Cao Cao would not come, so the deployment made was not only empty, There is also the possibility of being raided by Cao Cao.
