Chapter 752: A Beauty from Afar
on the Yangtze River.
Huang Gai stood beside the boat, looking at the rout of the enemy army on the shore from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is really a clever plan, just a little means, you can scare Guan Yu and flee in embarrassment, this kind of strategy, who can think of it." ”
Huang Gai put his eyes on the straw man in armor beside him.
Not only around, but more than seventy percent of the soldiers standing densely on the ship are all straw men pretending.
As far as the eye could see, there were more than seventy warships, each of which looked from the shore, as if they were loaded with thousands of troops.
This is Su Zhe's suspicious plan.
The soldiers and horses under Su Zhe's command are comparable to Guan Yu, if he really draws out more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and waits for Guan Yu's flank by water, his troops on the frontal battlefield will be less than 10,000.
The two armies clashed, and the combat effectiveness was almost the same, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could he be in a stalemate with Guan Yu.
Once the frontal battlefield is defeated, even if he really has a magic move, he will lose his usefulness.
Moreover, Guan Yu found out that he only had 70,000 soldiers and horses, and if he found that he was missing nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses during the battle, he would definitely be suspicious, and he would not be at ease to boldly start a war with him, and naturally he would not be given a chance to use his tactics.
Therefore, Su Zhe came up with such a way to get the best of both worlds:
Sticking straw men on each boat, disguised as more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, copying the back road of the Han army from the river, can not only bluff and scare Guan Yu and his Han army, but also do not need to really draw 10,000 soldiers and horses.
This strategy, even if Guan Yu can figure it out, his soldiers will not see through it, and they will definitely be frightened and flee in despair.
Now it seems that Su Zhe's strategy not only frightened the Han army, but even Guan Yu was deceived in the past, and it can be said that he won a complete victory.
The plan has been completed, and Su Zhe did not need Huang Gai's soldiers and horses to land on the shore, but only led a victorious army of 70,000 to kill and pursue all the way.
At dusk, the battle ended.
Under the remnant sun, on the wilderness east of Jiangzhou City, there were scattered corpses of enemy soldiers, at least 10,000 people.
In addition, there were nearly 6,000 Han troops, who did not even have a chance to escape, so they could only surrender to the Wei army.
It was a real victory.
Guan Yu, who fled into the city, suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses, so naturally he didn't have the courage to fight Su Zhe again.
Now Guan Yu can only order to defend Jiangzhou on the one hand, and send people Pegasus to ask Liu Bei for help, and Baba is waiting for Liu Bei to lead the main reinforcements to arrive.
……
Outside the city of Jiangzhou, the Wei army camp.
A celebratory banquet is being held in the big tent.
In this battle, although Su Zhe failed to annihilate Guan Yu in one fell swoop and capture Jiangzhou, he inflicted heavy losses on Guan Yu and killed and captured 15,000 enemy troops.
So far, Guan Yu's 90,000 Yizhou Legion has lost more than half of it in less than a month, which is no longer an exaggeration to describe as miserable.
Compared with Su Zhe, Liu Bei's biggest disadvantage is that the population is small and the number of soldiers is insufficient, and he lost more than 40,000 new troops at once, which is enough for Liu Bei to be called a broken muscle.
Such a victory, of course, is worth celebrating.
At the banquet, Su Zhe and the generals drank happily, so happy.
Before I knew it, I was seven or eight minutes drunk, and all the generals retired happily.
The generals retreated, and Su Zhe was not enough to drink alcohol, so he poured himself a glass and wanted to taste it again.
"With such a strong smell of wine, it seems that Your Majesty is in a good mood."
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded in my ears.
Su Zhe looked up, but saw a girl dressed in black standing at the door, looking at him with a shallow smile.
It's Zhang Chunhua.
"Why are you here?" Su Zhe's eyes lit up, put down the wine glass, and beckoned her to come closer.
Zhang Chunhua stepped forward, first gave a blessing salute, then knelt down next to him, and said with a smile: "Chunhua is the life of the concubine Niangniang, and she came to Yizhou to share your majesty's worries." ”
Pang Tong's life?
Su Zhe's eyes were dazed, and he was a little slow to react after drinking too much wine, and he was stunned for a while before he suddenly understood.
It turned out that Pang Tong sent her to be his staff officer......
After Su Zhe ascended the throne and became emperor that day, Pang Tong, as one of the concubines who was marrying Ming Media, was naturally named a concubine by him.
Originally, this expedition to Yizhou, Su Zhe planned to take Pang Tong with him, as a strategist with the army, to give advice for himself.
However, before leaving, he learned that Pang Tong was actually happy and pregnant with a dragon seed.
In this way, even if Pang Tong has great resourcefulness, Su Zhe will not be able to take her to the front line again, so he told her to raise a baby in Luoyang with peace of mind.
As for Zhang Chunhua, perhaps because he is equal to Pang Tong's resourcefulness and sympathy for each other, the two have a good relationship, and they are usually called sisters, and they talk about the world when they have nothing to do.
Therefore, this time, Pang Tong couldn't accompany him and offer advice to Su Zhe, so he couldn't rest assured, so he sent her, the younger sister of Chunhua, to Yizhou.
"Tong'er really has a heart, is she in good health?" Su Zhe asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Tong's vein is stable, everything is fine, just wait for Your Majesty to triumph, maybe you can see the little prince, or the little princess." Zhang Chunhua said with a smile.
Su Zhe was relieved at this time, and said in his mouth, "That's good, that's good", and drank a glass of wine.
Zhang Chunhua raised his hand, poured wine for Su Zhe, and asked: "When Chunhua came, I heard that Your Majesty had just broken Guan Yu, and it seems that Your Majesty planned to take Jiangzhou before Liu Bei arrived." ”
Su Zhe took a sip of wine and sighed: "I have this idea, but Guan Yu still has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and now that he has suffered a loss, he will definitely shrink in the city and dare not fight again, I want to forcibly break through Jiangzhou, it is not so easy." ”
"That's right." Zhang Chunhua nodded, but said again: "But Chunhua also heard that His Majesty also captured a veteran who is very famous in Yizhou, called Yan Yan." ”
Su Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, this old guy is a hard bone, if I hadn't cherished his generals, I would have slaughtered him a long time ago." ”
Zhang Chunhua was silent, his starry eyes flickering, thoughtful.
After a while, a sly smile rose at the corner of her lips, "If Your Majesty wants to break through Jiangzhou quickly, why don't you start with this Yan Yan." ”
"Yan Yan? Interesting, let's hear it. Su Zhe smiled with a smile.
At that moment, Zhang Chunhua was unhurried and explained his strategy.
Su Zhe listened to it, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, this is indeed a clever plan." ”
"Really, Chunhua just said it casually, but I didn't expect His Majesty to think it was feasible." Zhang Chunhua also feigned a surprised expression.
Su Zhe beckoned to her and motioned for her to come over.
Zhang Chunhua's pretty face was dazed, so she had to get up, lift the corner of her skirt and walk towards Su Zhe.
Su Zhe stretched out his hand to her, Zhang Chunhua hesitated, and still put his slender jade hand in Su Zhe's palm.
Suddenly, Su Zhe slammed her strength, she snorted, leaned forward involuntarily, and fell into Su Zhe's arms.
