Chapter 0810: Hesitation

"Why?" Yuan Xi lost his voice and asked, "Why do you want to support the white horse?" ā€

"Why did Zhang Fei withdraw from the Henan battlefield?" The judge walked to the map and said, "The purpose of Zhang Fei's entry into Henan was to hold back our main force and help the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army capture Dingtao and Changyi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Now they haven't quite achieved this purpose. Now Cao Ren is still holding on to Dingtao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's more than 100,000 troops are still rescuing Dingtao on the north bank of the Jishui River, and Zhang Fei can still hold out for a while on the battlefield in Henan, what reason does Zhang Fei have to withdraw from Henan in a hurry? ā€

Without waiting for everyone to answer, the judge himself said the answer: "It's very simple, the Northern Xinjiang Army is to open up a new battlefield, so as to concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate the army of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so as to help the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army quickly advance to the front line of Chenliu, break through Fengqiu and Chenliu before we establish the second line of defense, kill Henan directly, completely occupy Yanzhou, and form a decisive battle with us in the shortest possible time." ā€

"If we lose the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, have no advantage in troops, and fail to establish a third line of defense on the front line of Xingyang and Zhongmu due to time constraints, then can we still win this decisive battle?"

Yuan Xi and the generals gathered in front of the map.

"Mr. Zhengnan, what does this have to do with us going north to support Hakuba?" Jiao asked in surprise.

"Everyone, please see, if the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army defeats Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and kills Chen Liu, then its two wings ......" The judge put his two hands heavily on the map and said to everyone, "Its two wings are under our attack, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army immediately formed a lone army to go deep, and it is very likely that we will surround Chen Liu." ā€

Yuan Xi and the others suddenly realized.

"In this way, Zhang Fei's retreat to Henan is to open up a right-wing battlefield." Ma Yan said suspiciously, "Then who opened up the battlefield on the left flank of the Northern Frontier Army?" ā€

"If nothing else, it should be the army of Gao Shun, Zang Ba and Wei Yan who attacked Xuzhou." The judge's hand pointed to Ren Chengguo on the map, "After Gao Shun captured Langya County, Liu Beijun was unable to counterattack Qingzhou in the current situation, at this moment Gao Shun, Zang Ba and others have no worries, they can take the army from Langya County into Lu State, from Lu State to Ren Chengguo, and then from Ren Chengguo to Fangdong and Shan Father Line, and then attack Chen Liu from the direction of Bocheng and Jishi City, in order to respond to the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield in the middle. ā€

"Liu Bei's troops are running out, and the army in Yangzhou has not heard from it yet, I don't know if they will follow the will of the imperial court to attack Hebei and rebel, so the left-wing battlefield will not pose a threat to us for a while, but the right-wing battlefield is completely different."

"Once the war starts on the right-wing battlefield, the Northern Xinjiang Army will first take the white horse, and then the white horse will be killed by the white horse to the front line of Yancheng, Yanjin, and Suozao, threatening Henan, and once again containing the main force of our army. When the Northern Xinjiang Army reached Fengqiu, our army lost control of the Pushui and Jishui Rivers, and the grain and grass of the Northern Xinjiang Army will go directly south from Baima and Puyang, cross the Pushui River and the Jishui River, and be transported to Chenliucheng at the fastest speed and in the shortest time. ā€

"In this way, it is very likely that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be surrounded by the three-way army of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the area of Dongduan and Jiyang before withdrawing to Chenliu." Wen Ping said in surprise, "I must tell Cao Cao and Liu Bei to ask them to retreat quickly, and they will be too late." ā€

"No, as long as we block the Northern Xinjiang Army in Baima, the right wing army of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not be able to move south, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will not have absolute superiority in strength, so it will naturally not be able to encircle Cao Cao and Liu Bei. In addition, our army is guarding the line of Yancheng and Fengqiu, and can always control the Pushui River and the Jishui River, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army will be greatly slowed down when there is no cover on the flanks and the grain route is threatened, which can give us enough time to establish a second line of defense. ā€

"With a strong defensive line, we can have a protracted confrontation with the Northern Frontier Army. More than 200,000 troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army were trapped in the Central Plains battlefield and could not advance or retreat. After a long time, Hebei's financial resources were immediately exhausted, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had to withdraw. At this time, we can launch a counteroffensive and take advantage of the superiority in strength to inflict heavy losses on the Northern Xinjiang Army and defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army to a pulp. ā€

At this point, the generals have understood the strategy of the trial. The main force of the army will move north to block Zhang Fei's attack, and the situation of the Central Plains War will be reversed.

Yuan Xu's expression was solemn and he hesitated for a long time.

"Why didn't Major General Yuan give the order?" Wen Ping was a little anxious. He suffered a big loss under the management of the city, losing more than 5,000 people, and he was angry in his heart. The generals of Luoyang are worried that it is not good to urge Yuan Xun to offend, he is not afraid, he is the general of the Jingzhou army, and he can say it directly.

Yuan Xu's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly: "I must first play Mr. Zhengnan's strategy to Xuchang, and when Xuchang agrees, I can give an order, otherwise it will ......."

Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "General Yuan, this is a war, not a leisure game to relieve boredom." On the battlefield, time is everything. Now that we know that going north to support Baima is the best strategy to delay the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack Chen Liu and rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, what is Major General Yuan hesitating about? You have the right to command the battlefield, you can formulate the attack strategy of the army, as long as you can block the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army and rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, you are right, what are you worried about? Are you worried that we won't be able to beat Zhang Fei? Worried that Mr. Jeongnam's speculation is wrong? ā€

Yuan Xu's face turned red, and Ai Ai didn't say anything for half a day.

Although his father Yuan Shao let himself command the army on the front line, he knew that if he did not change his attack strategy without his father's consent, he would lose his father's trust no matter what the outcome of the battle was. Don't talk about returning to Luoyang in the future, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go back to Nanyang. Brother Yuan Tan's lessons from the past are here.

Wen Ping was a little impatient, and opened his mouth to say a few more heavy words. Su Fei, who was beside him, was quick and grabbed him. Wen Ping snorted angrily, and shook his hand to get rid of Su Fei. At this time, he saw Pang Ji, who shook his head at him again and again, signaling him to shut up and stop talking. Wen Ping coughed heavily, and followed Su Fei to the back.

None of the generals in Luoyang spoke, and all of them looked at the roof, some pretended to look at the map, and paced leisurely as if they were pondering.

The judge thought for a while, and said to Yuan Xu: "In this way, I will report to Xuchang with a fast ride of eight hundred miles." The army rushed to the front line of Junyi and Xiaohuang first. Urgently told General Yan Liang of Yancheng to ask him to go north to Baima immediately and defend Baima City with Gao Gan. ā€

Yuan Xuan nodded and whispered, "General Yan Liang, it's better for you to write a letter." It doesn't seem good that I ordered it directly. ā€

The judge's heart was cold, and his thin body shivered involuntarily, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his heart.

At this moment, the fast horse came galloping.

Xu You and Yuan Sheng urgently reported that Zhao Yun, the general of Northern Xinjiang, led his troops to kill Chenliu and asked for support.

Yuan Xi was shocked and hurriedly ordered to divide troops to support.

The judge hurriedly stopped: "The Northern Xinjiang Army is lone and deeper, and its intention is to delay our troops and delay our time to enter Yanzhou to rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and there is no threat to us." The major general should not divide his troops to rescue, as long as the troops enter Junyi City, they can be scared away. ā€

Yuan Xi didn't follow. Chen Liuliu lost it, and he couldn't explain it to his father.

"Major General, what if Chen Liu's loss is lost? The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was still five hundred miles away, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army was still on the north bank of the Jishui River. This northern Xinjiang army entering Chenliu is tantamount to seeking its own death, and if it does not enter Chenliu, it can still leave a way to live. The judge explained bitterly, "Major General, concentrate your forces and go east to Junyi, don't hesitate." ā€

Yuan Xi resolutely refused, and ordered Jiao Touch and Wen Ping to lead an army of 40,000 to Chenliu.

The judge looked up to the sky and sighed, and went to sleep.

………………

Yanzhou East County, sixty miles southeast of White Horse City, Pingyang Pavilion.

Liu Shao looked up at the blue sky, and his gloomy face showed a trace of irritability and helplessness. This year's weather is a bit unusual, and it's not even May yet, and it's very hot.

"Driving...... ...... driver" Liu Shao shouted softly twice, urging the horse to go to a shade of a tree.

The guards didn't wait for Liu Shao to greet him, and hurriedly handed over the water bladder. Liu Shao wiped the mouth of the water bladder with his cuff, and looked up at the army that was walking rapidly on the galloping road. The procession stretched for miles, along a winding road that ended in the sky. The sound of chaotic footsteps and the clashing of weapons mingled with the flying dust that drifted into the scorching air.

Liu Shao secretly cursed a few words. The ghost of the Northern Xinjiang Army is still lingering, and it has just withdrawn from Henan, and it immediately appeared in Yanzhou again. I have always been restrained by Zhang Fei's rebelliousness, and I feel very embarrassed when I think about it.

Liu Shao had just taken a sip of water gently, closed his eyes and was about to enjoy the cool feeling, when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and then a choking dust came to his face.

Liu Shao opened his eyes angrily, and just wanted to say a few words, but saw that it was Yan Liang, the commander of the army, so he asked, "Zishan, is there anything urgent?" ā€

"The scouts have reported that the Northern Frontier Army has surrounded White Horse City and has not yet launched an attack." Yan Liang gasped violently on the horse, and asked, "Mr. Kong Cai, should we speed up?" ā€

Liu Shao didn't answer directly, but asked, "How many roads are there from Pingyang Pavilion?" ā€

"Thirty miles." Yan Liang replied, "Before dusk, it is not a problem for the army to enter the Pingyang Pavilion. Tomorrow afternoon we can be in Whitehorse. ā€

Liu Shao asked again: "How is the situation near Pingyang Pavilion?" ā€

"No Northern Frontier Army was found." Yan Liang sneered, "Before Zhang Fei defeated the white horse, he would never dare to attack Pingyang Pavilion casually. ā€

Liu Shao glanced at Yan Liang, snorted disapprerovingly, and said, "Zhang Fei is a man-eating tiger and very cunning, don't despise him." ā€

Yan Liang pursed his lips and said, "What if he's a man-eating tiger?" It's not that we have driven out of Henan. (To be continued.) )
