Everyone was silent. Even Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen felt that today's Xue Shao was so unfamiliar. This young marshal, who led the army alone for the first time, was similar to the caution and caution he had in Chang'an. His wildness, his boldness and his domineering made his right-hand man feel surprised and shocked!

"Perhaps, this is the real Xue Shao."

"All this time, he has been suppressed too much and silent for too long!"

Many people present were thinking about these things in their hearts, but they didn't think about the question raised by Xue Shao - how to fight this battle!

It's not that they don't want to think about it, it's that they can't think about it. Whether it is from the perspective of troops or the situation, Xue Shao's decision to take the initiative is all self-defeating. This is a battle with little chance of winning, how can it be fought?

"Since you don't say it, then I'll tell you." No one supported it, but Xue Shao was not discouraged at all. He walked to the side and brought a stack of teacups, and then placed three teacups in the center of the table, arranged in a pinnacle.

"Everyone, please see, this is the lair of the rebels in Chengping County." Xue Shao said while setting the bowl, "Bai Tieyu's subordinates still have generals, and their military camp is very reasonable. The left and right sides of these three battalions are stationed with light cavalry, which are extremely mobile. Once Chengping County encounters an invading enemy, these two cavalry can rush to and from any area within the city. If someone enters the camp and robs it, they can close it at any time like two doors, forming a situation of encirclement. At the innermost point were archers and infantry, whose rain of arrows could turn any intruding enemy into a hedgehog. If the enemy army comes to attack, they can also retreat into the city at any time, relying on the city for defense. ”

Everyone listened quietly. Judging from Xue Shao's words, even if tens of thousands of soldiers and horses went to attack Chengping County, which was so heavily defended, it might not be easy to conquer. But now there are only a few thousand people in Yanzhou...... Many people shudder a little as they listen and think about it.

"Normally, the total number of garrisons in Chengping County is about 20,000. There were about 6,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry and archers. Xue Shao said, "But now, Bai Tieyu has withdrawn this part of the main force and brought it to attack Longquan County." Now staying in Chengping County is the remnants of the army that his general Ling Huzu withdrew from Longquan and defeated, and his defense is unprecedentedly weak. Judging from the news sent back by Sima Chengzhen, all the salaries, grain and grass materials of the Bai Tieyu rebels were placed in Litun in Chengping County, and the homes of most of the rebel leaders were also located in Chengping County. As Xue Chuyu said, such a rabble cannot withstand any blows. If the city is lost, Bai Tieyu's rebels will inevitably suffer the blow of destruction, and even collapse in an instant. Of course, we can't have too many illusions about the results. But we can't sit back and watch him slaughter the people of Longquan County! ”

"Young marshal, what if Bai Tieyu didn't withdraw the main force, but just set up a suspicious array to attract our army to attack Chengping?" Guo Yuanzhen raised the question in everyone's mind.

"Don't worry, I'm going to get to that in a minute." Xue Shao took two more bowls, placed them next to the three bowls, and said, "If Bai Tieyu is setting up an ambush to encircle us, then his soldiers and horses can only hide in these two positions." In other words, Bai Tieyu himself is also very likely to be in these two positions! A grass king like him would never put himself in danger. He will definitely stay where the army is most powerful. Am I right? ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Xue Chuyu exclaimed: "The young marshal means that he will plan the plan, first feint to attack their Chengping military camp, and then attract Bai Tieyu's main force out to attack us." Once Bai Tieyu came out to outflank, then his position was exposed. At this time, let's remove the location where we turned the gun head to attack and kill Bai Tieyu himself? ”

Xue Shao slammed his fist on the table, "That's right! ”

"OMG!" Guo Yuanzhen shuddered on the spot, "This is really a deadly fight!" ”

"I have a problem!" Xue Chuyu hurriedly said, "How can you judge Bai Tieyu's location on the battlefield where 10,000 people are fighting?" ”

"Don't we still have eyeliner ambushing by Bai Tieyu's side?" Xue Shao said, "Such a raid can definitely only be carried out at night. As long as Bai Tieyu's army comes out to encircle and kill our army, I will let the moon slave set fire and report Bai Tieyu's location! ”

"Oh my God, this is crazy!" Guo Yuanzhen shuddered again, "Young marshal, can you change to a different style of play?" This one...... It's so adventurous! ”

Xue Shao turned his head to look at him, "Do you have a better way?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen shook his head blankly, his face turned a little pale.

"Childe, then I'll go back immediately!" Yuenu said categorically, "As long as I hear the movement of soldiers and horses, I will immediately set fire!" ”

"General An, you wait!" Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly grabbed the moon slave and said, "It is very likely that you have been exposed, and if you go back, you will be slaughtered by Bai Tieyu!" ”

"I'm not afraid!" Yuenu said without hesitation, "If I don't go back, Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi won't know Childe's battle plan, and they won't be able to cooperate with Childe at that time!" - Besides, you're talking about the worst-case scenario. What if I'm not exposed? What if Bai Tieyu really led the army to attack Longquan, and Chengping County was at his fingertips? ”

Guo Yuanzhen was stunned and muttered, "Why are you as crazy as the young marshal?" ”

The moon slave grinned, "The moon slave is stupid and stupid, and the only thing that can be given to the son is to follow him to the death!" ”

"I haven't ordered it yet, you all shut up!" Xue Shao scolded with a straight face, but his heart felt like he had been stabbed by the Triangular Army.

"Yes." The moon slave hugged his fists and bowed, "The moon slave obeys the order!" ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath and picked up a bowl again, "Let's go on!" - If Bai Tieyu's main force wants to set up an ambush outside the city to kill us, then these two positions are the best places for him to ambush us. We can only send a forward to tentatively attack their barracks, and if the other side does not set up an ambush, then the main force will slow down and follow up, and level the barracks and seize the city in one go; If the other party has an ambush, then the main camera in the rear will act and directly attack Bai Tieyu's location, capture the thief and capture the king! ”

Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly said: "Young marshal, if the worst happens, then the vanguard will inevitably fall into a heavy encirclement and it will be difficult to survive, right?" They are not only the vanguard of destroying the city, but also the bait to lure Bai Tieyu's main force to appear, right? ”

Xue Shao was silent.

Xiao Zhizhong was anxious, and said loudly: "Young Marshal, in the name of the marching commander, I veto your battle plan!" ”

"Why?" Xue Shao said in a deep voice.

"It's so inhumane!" Xiao Zhizhong said, "You use your life as a pioneer to lure Bai Tieyu to take the bait!" This pioneer will surely die! With this battle plan of yours, a lot of people will die! The chances of success are too slim! As a marching commander, I can't agree with you to carry out this battle plan! ”

"You just talked to me about humanity?" Xue Shao's face was expressionless, and he said, "Then I will tell you now, the essence of war is killing, and the nature of killing is ruthlessness!" When a soldier goes to the battlefield, who will tell you humanity? If you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you! If it's a war, people will die, and no matter how you fight, you will die! If I talk to you about humanity, will Bai Tieyu talk to me about humanity? ”

"Young marshal, you don't have to be so impatient!" Xiao Zhizhong hurriedly persuaded, "You can wait for Wang Fangyi's main force to arrive, and use the decisive battle to defeat Bai Tieyu." Now that the edict of the imperial court has not yet reached Wang Fangyi's side, you are about to fight Bai Tieyu, is it necessary? ”

"Then can I watch Bai Tieyu go and slaughter Longquan County?" Xue Shao asked loudly.

Xiao Zhizhong grimaced and whispered, "Young Marshal, that's something you can't do." The court will not blame you! ”

"Xiao Changshi, your duty is to veto my battle plan, I don't blame you. But what you just said is really wrong. Xue Shao said calmly, "Which of you will sue me, why does the country need an army?" What are the armies used for? ”

"Protect the country and the country, protect the territory and the people." Guo Yuanzhen replied.

"Well said." Xue Shao nodded and said, "The mission of a soldier is to protect the country and the country, and protect the territory and the people. If necessary, it is not only worthwhile for soldiers to sacrifice their lives in exchange for the survival of the people, but also our duty and duty. If I were to sit back here and watch Bai Tieyu slaughter the city and not do anything, this would already be the biggest sin that a soldier could commit! When the time comes, whether the court will blame me, I don't know, and I don't care. What I can conclude is that I will not spare Xue Shao, and I will personally cut off his head that is full of thoughts about promotion and fortune! ”

Xiao Zhizhong was dumbfounded.

There was silence.

Long.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, "I'm the vanguard!" ”

Everyone turned their heads and looked, Xue Chuyu!

"Erpole, you're crazy!" Guo Yuanzhen slapped the table and scolded, scolding Xue Chuyu in public.

"I'm not crazy." Xue Chuyu still looked like he was not shocked or smiling, and said calmly, "General Guo, we followed the young marshal from the Three Swords Brigade to the present, and at the beginning, a hundred people dared to rob and kill the Black Sand Tent thousands of miles away, and stabbed the entire grassland to the bottom. Now that we have been ordered to go out to hang the people and fight crimes, we already have five or six thousand soldiers and horses, but we don't dare to play with Bai Tieyu, a mere grass king? Is it that our officials have become too big, and after soaking in the gentle township of Chang'an for too long, they have really become forward-looking, greedy and afraid of death? ”

"Erganzi, what do you mean by that?" Guo Yuanzhen was furious, picked up his fist and smashed the table, "I am married and have a family, and the official has also achieved noble facial features!" But today, I'm still up to the vanguard! ”

"That's what I said first. What are you fighting for? Xue Chuyu was very calm.

"I'd rather die than be angry with your nest!" Guo Yuanzhen was very excited and shouted loudly, "Young marshal, if you don't give me this pioneer today, our brothers can't do it!" I will listen to your commands; Back to Chang'an, we broke off! ”

Xue Shao looked at the two of them coldly, silent, his eyes like knives.

Xiao Zhizhong gave the two of them a look, Guo Yuanzhen finally pressed down, spit out a sullen breath, hugged his fists and snorted in his nose: "I am guilty of colliding with the boss and disturbing the military discussion." Later, I'll go and take the stick myself! ”

"Just be convicted." Xue Shao was still very calm, stared at Guo Yuanzhen for a moment, and said, "The previous sentence was said by the young marshal. The following sentence is what Xue Shao said - Guo Yuanzhen, brothers are for life. It's not that you just do it, you don't do it if you say you don't do it! ”

Guo Yuanzhen turned his head suddenly, holding his neck desperately, and tears still flowed out of his nose.
