Chapter 0835 - Forcing the Enemy to Fight a Decisive Battle
"Now, Xuchang is blindly optimistic from top to bottom, thinking that with the advantage of troops and wealth, it will be able to drive the Northern Xinjiang Army away if it drags on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info What a joke, is Li Yi a cat? Hungry and gone? He is a tiger who eats people when he is hungry. Cao Cao whipped into the air and scolded hatefully, "Why are the stupidest people in the world in Xuchang?" Don't they know that their opponent is a tiger? ”
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time." Cheng Yu shook his hand and persuaded, "If you are Yuan Shao, you are also this way to meet the enemy, which is beyond reproach." The key now is to defeat the Northern Frontier Army. Only by defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army can it make sense for us to preserve our strength, otherwise it is just fattening up and cutting off the head of the Northern Xinjiang Army, which is meaningless. In addition, the army is divided into three, from the current point of view, there is no doubt that defeat is imminent, but once this battle is defeated, as long as the three-way army can stay all the way, we still have a chance to live, and even have a chance to turn defeat into victory and make a comeback. ”
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Bad things sometimes turn into good things. ”
Cao Cao suddenly realized that his mood suddenly improved, and said: "Zhongde, do you suggest that Yuan Shao divide our army into a part of the Yuzhou battlefield again?" ”
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Lord, you don't have confidence in defeating the Northern Frontier Army?" ”
"Yes, of course I'm confident." Cao Cao waved his fist and said, "We will definitely be able to defeat Li Yi this time." ”
………………
Yanzhou Chenliu, the general's camp.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhang Fei said to Li Yi: "Now the rebels' strategy is very clear, that is, dragging, stalking, and making it clear that they want to compete with us in terms of strength, food and grass, and want to win without a fight." We currently do not have superior forces on the three battlefields, and it is difficult to break through the enemy's defenses. If this stalemate cannot be broken, we will not be able to force the rebels to engage in a decisive battle with us within the appropriate circumstances, so the eldest brother should give us a way to attack as soon as possible. ”
"Do you have a solution?" Li Yi said with a smile, "You heard in Yancheng that Wen He was going to Baima to supervise the battle, and immediately beat Cao Cao across the gutter water. Am I going to go to the sour jujube and force you to force it, so that you will make the effort to hit the chasm water? ”
"Two different things, two different things...... Zhang Fei shook his hand again and again, and said, "Big brother, it's better for you to stay in Chenliu, don't go to sour dates." At the end of this month, I will definitely find a way to take Yuanwu and Yangwu, and the troops will enter the chasm. ”
"It's too late at the end of the month." Li Yi said with a smile, "I agreed with Yun Chang that I will temporarily transfer 20,000 people from him to you, and hit the chasm water within five days." ”
"The main people stationed in Yuanwu and Yangwu were Cao Cao and Liu Bei's men. Cao Cao is not much of his men and horses, and if he dies one less, he will never dare to fight with you. Guan Yu sneered, "As soon as he retreats, Xingyang and Zhongmu will be under our attack." In order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, Yuan Shao could only withdraw to the front line of Xingyang and Zhongmu. We will fight him in Zhongmu. ”
"Zhongmu?" Zhang Fei frowned and said, "If we hit the chasm water, and you hit Zhongmu, then the rebels will accumulate heavy troops in the Guandu and Zhongmu areas to contend with us." ”
Zhang Fei looked up at Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, when we hit the chasm, our two armies will be united." Gathering nearly 200,000 people to attack the rebels is a huge scale. ”
"If you don't beat Yuan Shao, he won't fight a decisive battle." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "After the army entered the chasm water, let Gao Shun and Wei Yan on the left side retreat to the area of Chenliu and Yongqiu to defend to protect the flank of the army, let the main army storm Guandu, and force Yuan Shao to concentrate his forces on the west bank of the chasm water. ”
Zhuge Liang immediately explained the specific deployment of troops and the route of attack.
"After you hit the chasm water, I will move the camp to Yangwu City." Li Yi said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "We must make the rebels realize that our outstretched fingers are closing into a fist, and when this fist has accumulated enough strength, they will be dealt a fatal blow." ”
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others immediately took their leave and returned to their respective battlefields to prepare for the attack.
Jia Xu was left behind by Li Yi to continue to discuss the strategy of attack in the later stage of the war.
Jia Xu said to Li Yi: "My lord, there are currently more than 100,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and according to the strategy we set, these more than 100,000 people must slowly withdraw from the main battlefield and disperse to various places to block the rebels' counterattacks." If the cavalry stays on the main battlefield, even if we retreat in defeat, the rebels may not dare to rush out and pursue at full speed. ”
"When Yun Chang and Yide lead the army to fight the chasm, we will start to mobilize the cavalry." Li Yi said, "The cavalry will first divide a part to Hanoi and Ren City. Sima Ju of Hanoi and Guan Hai of Rencheng could immediately lead an army of infantry soldiers to the battlefield of Guandu. The cavalry arrived in Qingzhou a little later, and they had to wait until Liu Bei's army attacked Zang Ba, and Zang Ba's army withdrew from Kaiyang and retreated to Jucheng, so as not to let the rebels see the flaws and suspect that we were doing it on purpose. ”
Jia Xu nodded, and was about to ask about the grain and grass, when Sima Yi walked in and said to Li Yi: "Lord, the front line is here." Xu You sent someone to shoot a book and wanted to see the lord. ”
"Xu Yu?" Jia Xu asked in surprise, "What is he doing here?" Negotiate peace? ”
"Yes. He wrote several times, but we rejected it. Sima Yi smiled, "The first time I went to see him, I persuaded him to surrender, but he ignored me and was very loyal to Yuan Shao." ”
"Give him a letter back, saying that the lord wants to see him." Jia Xu said with a smile, "There are many factions under Yuan Shao, especially the Jizhou forces led by Fu Zhu and the Yingchuan forces led by Xu Yu are the largest, and they are fighting fiercely with each other. Before the war, Xu You and Feng Ji had teamed up to drive Fu Zhu out of Luoyang, and then instigated Yuan Shao to put the trial in prison. If it weren't for the outbreak of the Central Plains War, the frustration, the trial and their Jizhou forces would almost disappear in Luoyang. ”
Sima Yi immediately understood what Jia Xu meant, and asked, "Do you want to take advantage of the contradictions between Xu Yu and the people who are frustrated, judged, and others to provoke their infighting?" ”
"It's just a matter of mouth, a gesture." Jia Xu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Now it is Yuan Xi who is confronting us head-on, and it is the trial and match that gives Yuan Xi a plan." Bring down the trial first, and it is best to let Yuan Shao kill him. This man is too much of a threat to us, and once he sees through our strategy, I don't know how long the decisive battle will last. ”
Sima Yi suddenly came to his senses and said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll pick him up immediately." ”
Li Yi shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Wenhe, you also underestimate Yuan Shao. At this critical time, how dare Yuan Shao mess with himself? Although the judge is from Jizhou and I still have a relationship, they have worked together for ten years after all. Ten years of friendship is extraordinary. It can be seen from Yuan Shao's re-use of the trial this time that he still believes in the trial and will not be fooled. ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Shao must be willing to be fooled." ”
"Really?" Wu Li Yi asked in surprise, "Yuan Shao is still willing to be fooled?" ”
"Of course, because Yuan Shao has great ambitions. Soon after Yuan Shao seized Luoyang, the words of 'Yuan Dai Han' and 'Five Virtues Always Said' were widely spread. Who made these? Why was it made? We all know that. Jia Xu said with a smile, "Around Yuan Shao, there are many people who insist on advising Yuan Shao to respect the Son of Heaven, but among them, there are only four people who pose a threat to Yuan Shao's usurpation, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Xuan Pei and Guo Tu. ”
Li Yi, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and others immediately understood what Jia Xu meant.
"So, Yuan Shao's re-use of frustration and trial this time is an ulterior motive?" Sima Yi said with understanding, "In this war, he reused Yuan Xu, and it is estimated that he deliberately cultivated the power in order to completely drive Jizhou, Yingchuan and other forces out of Luoyang. ”
"Yuan Shao's reputation is now in full swing, if he wins this battle, we all know what he will do next, and these people also know about it. With the current situation of the battle more and more favorable to him, he would be very happy if he could find an opportunity to solve the problem of frustration, Xu You, and trial without leaving a trace. Jia Xu looked at everyone and asked softly, "You don't think that Yuan Shao sent Xu You to really talk nonsense with us, right?" ”
"Could it be that Yuan Shao ......," Lu Bu said with some disbelief, "Yuan Shao can't be this kind of person, right?" ”
"Yuan Shao is no longer the Yuan Shao of the past." Jia Xu said with a mocking look on his face, "Since he wants to kill someone, let's help him." This time, let the trial match die. As soon as the trial is dead, these Jizhou forces will immediately retaliate, and Xu You will be finished. Xu You is finished, and Feng Ji and these Yingchuan forces will immediately turn around and take revenge on Fu Zhi and others. ”
"Hmph......" Jia Xu sneered, "Yuan Shao dug his own grave, and we fulfilled him." ”
………………
The general Li Yi personally went out to greet Xu You.
"It's been 14 years since Jizhou said." Li Yi accompanied Xu You into the big tent and said with a smile, "At that time, we were all fighting for the Han Dynasty and fighting to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves. But I never thought that we would have a day of fighting on the battlefield. ”
Xu You's expression was free, and he said coldly: "If you are enlightened, you can ask the Son of Heaven for sin, and I believe that the Son of Heaven will forgive you for the sake of your love for guarding the northern Xinjiang for many years." ”
Li Yi smiled faintly and said, "Ziyuan shouldn't say this. Who in the Han Dynasty doesn't know that the Son of Heaven in Jicheng is orthodox, and the Son of Heaven in Xuchang is just a puppet supported by Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu and others for their own selfish interests? ”
Xu You's expression froze and he didn't speak.
"Is Shen Zhengnan okay?" Li Yi asked, "I heard that he had an accident and was imprisoned in Luoyang's Beisi Prison?" ”
"He's out." Xu You said, "After the start of the Central Plains War, he came out and is now in Zhongmu City. Do you want to see him? If you want to see him, let him come next time, I won't come. ”
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You told him that his family lives well and misses him very much." If he can't stay in Luoyang, he can go back to Jizhou, I welcome him, and I can at least let him be a county guard. ”
"He will." Xu You narrowed his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "As long as he defeats you, he will be able to return to his hometown." (To be continued.) )
