Chapter 1183 The Wei Schemer Xun Yu offered advice
However, some people were dissatisfied with Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's retreat, and when they saw Xiahou Dun, the general of Wei, he immediately frowned and said: "If we don't abandon Wuling County and Changsha County, even if we divide our troops to resist the attack of the Zhao army, as long as we can fully use the advantages of the two counties to defend the city, we will inevitably kill the Zhao army a lot of losses." But now, in order to protect ourselves, we have left Wuling County and Changsha County and given them to Zhao Jun for nothing, isn't it too cheap for them. If you want me to say, you are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the big deal is to start two battles with the Zhao army in Wuling County and Changsha County, if you really can't resist, kill more Zhao troops, and it's not too late to retreat, why just flee without a fight, this is not a big husband's move. β
Xiahoudun has always been known for his bravery, and his temper is strong, and this time he heard that everyone fled without a fight. Directly leaving Wuling County and Changsha County behind, it was really an atmosphere, and he immediately lost his temper.
However, after hearing Xiahoudun's words, some people shook their heads and smiled bitterly, some people did not cut their faces, and some bloody generals immediately looked particularly angry. It's just that without waiting for others to vent, Sima Yi, the prime minister of Wei, stood up and tried to persuade Xiahoudun. When everyone saw the people of Wei State speak, they stopped talking one after another, after all, it is easier for their own people to persuade their own people, so as to save others from opening their mouths, the two sides will fight and make trouble if they don't say a word, and it will be difficult to clean up.
I only heard Sima Yi say to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahoudun is bent on killing the enemy to take revenge, this is an example for us." It's just that the situation of this battle is different, the Zhao army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is far more than several times ours, and it is definitely not one or two defensive battles that can be repulsed. Moreover, at the beginning, we fought against the Zhao army many times, and we have already figured out that the Zhao army and horses fought bravely, and it is really not easy to meet them head-on. β
"Even if we defend against the Zhao army's attack in Wuling County and Changsha County, the initiative is in the hands of the Zhao army. Even if the general wants to kill the Zhao army more, I am afraid that the cunning Zhao army will retreat once he sees that the battle situation is not good. Even if the defense of the two battles is successful, it will not kill many Zhao troops, but it will make our army passive. β
"Therefore, if you want to defeat the Zhao army in a battle, so that the generals can completely kill the Zhao army, you must make a strategy to lure the Zhao army. And this time the land of Yiling is an ancient forest, and it is difficult to detect it at all. As long as our three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu are hidden in the forest, once we wait for the Zhao army to come, we can besiege it from all directions. At that time, the men and horses of the Zhao army will inevitably be in a panic, and in addition to the land of Yiling, there will be no road at all. The panicked Zhao army will inevitably flee in all directions like ants, and only be chased and killed by our three armies. β
After Sima Yi's painstaking persuasion, Xiahoudun finally calmed down, and immediately embarrassed and slightly arched his hand at everyone: "This time, when I heard the Prime Minister's order, Xiahoudun finally understood, if you were offended just now, I hope you will forgive me." β
Although Xiahoudun was indeed too impulsive just now, but now Xiahoudun can be ashamed of himself in public and apologize to everyone, which also shows Xiahoudun's general demeanor. At this point, it immediately attracted a burst of admiration from everyone, and some people who were dissatisfied with Xiahoudun's impulse before also disappeared at this moment.
"There is a series of plans below, but when a million troops, as long as the Zhao army dares to come to pursue our three armies and enter the land of Yiling, they can kill the Zhao army in one fell swoop." Just when everyone thought that the meeting was over, someone suddenly spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the entire tent suddenly exploded, and it was not difficult to see from everyone's face that everyone was shocked. It's just because what this person said was so big that everyone felt unbelievable.
But when the people followed the voice, and looked at the master who spoke, all of them were silent. Obviously, everyone knows this person after all, and knows that this person is by no means the kind of person who talks big. In this way, everyone was even more curious about what the serial plan he was talking about was that he could serve as a million army and defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao army in one fell swoop.
You must know that the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu have always been defeated too much. At this moment, we continue to have a big victory to revive the morale of the soldiers, and also counterattack the Zhao army to recover a little loss. As long as you can defeat the Zhao army, you can poke the sharpness of the Zhao army, and the pressure on the three armies will be reduced a lot.
I saw Zhou Yu take the lead in catching up, and bowed to the man: "Lord Xun Yu, what I just said has a series of plans, which can be worthy of a million army and defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop?" β
It turned out that the person who spoke this time was Xun You, the minister of Wei, Xun Gongda, and Yingchuan Yingyin. The nephew of Xun Yu, the prime minister of Zhao State, a strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was later accepted by Cao Cao as his command, and was a rare genius in Cao Ying, and he was also called an outstanding talent by Cao Cao. Xun You's strategy is different from others, and he is especially good at flexible and changeable tactics and military tactics to defeat the enemy. It can be said that Xun You's vision and insight are more unique than others, and he can always surpass ordinary people. This is also the reason why Xun You was able to design a clever plan, mainly because the things that others did not see and the affairs of Lenovo had already been discovered by Xun You.
It can be said that Xun You is a legendary portrayal, this person has been extremely obedient since he was a child, and at the age of thirteen, he was able to observe words and colors, and found a hidden murder fugitive. Later, after becoming an official, he was even more courageous, and Xun Yu served as the Huangmen squire when He Jin was in power. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, Xun You began to plot to assassinate Dong Zhuo, planning to assist the emperor, command the world, and achieve the cause of the overlord.
It can be said that Xun Yu had this kind of idea at that time, which was too advanced and powerful. Obviously, at that time, Xun You had already seen that the world was falling apart, and it was the general trend for the royal power to fall. It can be said that Xun Yu was the founder of the decision-making idea of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" during the Three Kingdoms period. It's just that Xun You was young and frivolous at that time, or his strength was not good, and he was unlucky, so he was caught in the hole.
However, after Xun You was arrested, he did not appear panicked, but looked open and saw through. Eat and drink every day, as if he was not afraid of life and death at all, but later Xun Yu had a big life. Before Dong Zhuo ordered Xun You to be executed, Dong Zhuo was assassinated and died, and then Xun You was also released by amnesty, and then Xun You saw through that the imperial court at that time had no place where he could show his talent, and immediately abandoned the official and went home.
However, there is one difference and similarity here, that is, in history, it was Lu Bu who assassinated Dong Zhuo. And now, the assassin of Dong Zhuo is Zhao Yu, the lord of the current Zhao State, no matter what the result is, Xun You happened to survive, it can be said that Xun You is not even willing to let the guy die young.
Later, after Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven into many places, Cao Cao's military advisors outside Xun Yu City, as soon as he entered Cao's camp, Xun Yu showed his superhuman intelligence. When Cao Cao conquered LΓΌ Bu, it was Xun You and Guo Jia who came forward and tried their best to dissuade Cao Cao from wanting to withdraw from the army, and then the two of them offered a strange strategy at the same time and flooded Picheng. Today, Guo Jia is the master of Zhao Yu, at the invitation of Cao Cao, Zhao Yu and Cao Cao joined forces to besiege Lu Bu.
In the battle of Guandu, Xun You made a sound to attack the east and west, and successively killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He also sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the same time urged Cao Cao to accept Xun You, who had no way out, and made great contributions. During the pacification of Hebei, Xun Youli overrode public opinion, advocating that Cao Cao must eliminate Yuan Shao's sons in one fell swoop, and was later named the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion by Cao Cao's court.
Xun You is careful and low-key, which can be said to be very similar to the poisoner Jia Xu, but the difference is that. When Jia Xu is giving advice or expressing his own opinions, if you don't listen, Jia Xu will definitely not persuade you. And Xun You can be said to be conscientious to Cao Cao, deducing his own master's demeanor, and his life is full of scheming, which is deeply praised by Cao Cao.
Recalling that among Cao Ying's advisers, Cao Cao's evaluation of Xun Yu is the most perfect among all the strategists: one, the outside is foolish and the inside, the outside is cowardly and the inside, the outside is weak and the inside is strong, no goodness, no hard work, wisdom is reachable, foolishness is unreachable, although Yan Zi and Ning Wu can't pass; Second, Gongda, very people, I have to deal with it, why worry about the world! Three, the military advisor Xun You, since the beginning of the minister, no levy or disobedience, before and after the enemy, all of them are strategic. It can be said that among the many outstanding people in Cao Ying, only Xun You, who has a broad vision, is optimistic and sunny, has achieved changes in power, and has no last resort, can obtain such an evaluation.
In the Three Kingdoms, Xun You planned twelve strange strategies before and after, and only Xun You's friend Zhong Xuan knew all about them. Later, Zhong Xuan died while compiling these strange strategies, so it was difficult to spread Xun Yu's strange strategies in the world. However, perhaps it is precisely this that makes this master tactician a little more mysterious.
This time, the two countries of Shu and Wei fled to Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu specially expressed a trace of respect to Xun You after hearing about Xun You, which can be seen that even Zhou Yu, who has always been talented, also admires Xun You. You must know that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, the prime ministers of Shu and Wei, do not have such treatment.
Faced with Zhou Yu's willingness to surrender his identity and ask him so politely, Xun You immediately bowed to him, and said casually: "After telling the land of Yiling in Zhou Dudu, Xun You quietly led the people to investigate. It was found that although the terrain of Yiling is complicated, there is also a necessary road that can lead directly to Dangyang. However, this road is particularly narrow, and it is not suitable for large armies, and if you insist on walking from here, the speed will be slow. β
"If you follow the previous strategy of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, all Wuling County and Changsha County will be lost to the Zhao army, and the Zhao army will be allowed to occupy it. Then I, the Wei Shu and Wu army, will have enough time to go directly to Dangyang from this road. β
