And Zhao Yu couldn't help but look at this person curiously when he learned that it was Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper under Liu Zhang, who came to greet him.

In history, Huang Quan once strongly opposed Liu Zhang and advised Liu Zhang not to introduce Liu Bei into the agency, but was rejected and alienated by Liu Zhang. It wasn't until Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang that Liu Zhang suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked Huang Quan to conspire to ask Zhang Lu, the hungry tiger, to disperse Liu Bei's wolf. In the end, because someone rebelled, Liu Bei finally got the entire Shu land, Huang Quan closed the door and did not surrender, Liu Bei personally went to invite, and Huang Quan was willing to surrender.

Later, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor and would conquer Eastern Wu, and Huang Quan advised, but Liu Bei did not listen. After Liu Bei's defeat in the battle of Yiling, Huang Quan was cut off on the north bank of the river because of Wu's soldiers, and Huang Quan had no way to return, so he had to wait for Cao Wei to surrender. Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, was overjoyed, and then worshiped Huang Quan as the general of Zhennan, but Huang Quan insisted on not accepting it. Even in many conversations, he still expressed his position in his heart, which somewhat had the shadow of Xu Shu entering Cao Ying, being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and even Tsukasa Hu Sima Yi kept admiring Huang Quan's character to Zhuge Liang in his letters to Zhuge Liang.

From this point of view, this Huang Quan can also be regarded as a loyal minister, but the transportation is not good, resulting in three changes of ownership. Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel that this person was somewhat similar to Tian Feng and Fu Zhu under his command. It's just that I don't know if I can get this Huang Quan away, but I'm afraid it's difficult with this guy's stubborn temper.

Yang Bai said slightly: "Today, when I heard that Liu Bei invaded Xichuan, my lord was very angry, so I asked me to lead the elite to attack Liu Bei together." The journey was quite bumpy, all the way to the march, I was already tired, today I will rest for the time being, and then watch the movement of the enemy army in what you are planning? "Although Yang Bai is cunning and sinister, he can be a general, and he has more or less brains. Even if he knows that his soldiers are strong and strong, but the physical strength of the sergeants who are running all the way has also decreased, if he wants a cunning person like Liu Bei on the other side, he must be refreshed before he can fight with him.

For Yang Bai's words, Huang Quan naturally complied, although he was worried about Liu Beibing's coming to the city, but he didn't dare to argue with him too much, so he had to say: "Well, what General Yang said makes sense, Huang Quan has already set up a banquet in the camp, just waiting for you to come together, please." ”

After entering the barracks and entering the military tent, Huang Quan sat on it, and included Yang Bai and other Feng Wei guests in the left seat, and Zhao Yu, Pang De, Dian Wei, Gao Lan, and Ma Dai also followed him and entered the column according to this, and there were four generals on the right side of Huang Quan. Zhao Yuguan looked at the four people who were all brilliant and extraordinary, and they were by no means ordinary characters, which couldn't help but arouse Zhao Yu's curiosity.

After thirty years of drinking, the third general sitting opposite Zhao Yu suddenly asked: "General Yang, today the enemy Liu Bei and others are in full spirit, and they have taken down many cities in Yizhou in a row, and they are marching separately, our army cannot grasp its dynamics at all, I don't know what good strategy the general can have." ”

Yang Bai was speechless as soon as he said this, although Yang Bai knew a little about the art of war, but it was just a surface, and when he really got to the battlefield, he couldn't use it at all, he just blindly knew how to defend, or to attack the opponent with a large number of people. Regarding the other party's general's question, Yang Bai said no, didn't say no, and had to take the wine in front of the table to drink, frowning by the way to show that he was pondering.

Seeing Yang Bai so embarrassed, Zhao Yu on the side was slightly happy in his heart, and then blurted out: "On the battlefield, there are thousands of changes, and it is definitely not the empty talk in front of the table that can decide the victory." As soon as Zhao Yu said this, Yang Bai's embarrassment was immediately resolved, which made Yang Bai's heart warm, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu with satisfaction. Then Zhao Yu continued: "According to Liu Bei's character, it was premeditated for the army to point at Yizhou this time. Now that the enemy is on the front, and the Yizhou soldiers have been defeated one after another, the morale is low, even if the elite of our Hanzhong comes, they dare not touch the enemy's edge. The battlefield is not just a victory by defeating the other party, a battle that injures the enemy by 1,000 and loses 800 by himself, a certain person absolutely does not like it, and if you want to fight, you will fight beautifully, so that the enemy will not dare to attack in the future. ”

As soon as Zhao Yu's words came out, everyone present immediately responded, especially the four generals on the opposite side cast approving glances at Zhao Yu, only to see the leader of the general bowing to Zhao Yu and saying: "In the next Zhang Ren, in order to ask this general to respect his name." ”

"Zhang Ren?" Zhao Yu couldn't help but wonder slightly, then looked at the other party's gaze at him, and hurriedly said: "It's just a general in the next one, surnamed Zhao, and a flying word individually." ”

Zhang Ren was born in Shu County, Yizhou, his family was poor, he was bold and brave since he was a child, and he was ambitious, and then joined the army under Liu Zhang, and engaged in official positions. When Liu Zhang welcomed Liu Bei into Sichuan, he tried his best to stand up against it, but it was useless, and he was speechless about Liu Zhang's mediocrity and incompetence, but he always adhered to his duty as a loyal minister and a good general. But in other words, this Ren seems to be the same brother as Zhao Yun and Gao Lan, not to mention Zhao Yun's martial arts, just say that Gao Lan's martial arts are not bad, and this Ren will not be bad. If I remember correctly, when he fought against Liu Bei, Zhang Ren won many games in a row, but now it seems that Zhang Ren has not yet reached the time to go out, perhaps because of his own intervention, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have also fluctuated.

Zhang Ren asked again: "Then how does General Zhao think that you and my two armies should be arranged this time in order to defeat that Liu Bei?" At this moment, Liu Bei and the others have already "

Zhao Yu immediately said: "Since Liu Beijun is in full swing at the moment, and his morale is shocking, then we will let them win a few games and push them." Now Liu Beijun is just trying to subdue the people of Yizhou, so we will let him backfire. ”

After hearing Zhao Yu's words this time, everyone was surprised, and Huang Quan couldn't help but ask, "What does General Zhao mean?" ”

"The decisive battle depends on the time, place, and people, Liu Bei does not think that the same sect attacks Yizhou is against the sky, this is the time when the Yizhou Mu Master occupies the sky; And Liu Bei came from afar, which can be described as a long journey, and our two armies are occupying a favorable geographical situation; And the two soldiers of Yizhou Mu and my lord converged, and the people in the city responded one after another, this is the people. Now that Liu Bei occupies a couple, he wants to win the hearts of the people, which is a big joke. ”

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he felt the interest of everyone, and continued: "Now Liu Bei's whole army is full of morale, and the soldiers will be proud of their successive victories. In the next few battles, we will not directly fight against them, we just need to hold on, just wait for Liu Bei to attack, and once Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are damaged to a certain extent, we will immediately withdraw our troops, so that Liu Bei can take the three cities. ”

"What? Let Liu Bei capture the three cities? As soon as Zhao Yu spoke, everyone present was taken aback. And Dian Wei, Gao Lan, Pang De and others did not change their faces, they trusted Zhao Yu very much, and knew that Zhao Yu had his reasons for doing this, so there was no doubt. Looking at Yang Bai, although his face was suspicious, he was also silent, after all, Zhao Yu was his own person, and now in Liu Zhang's camp, if even his own coach had questions, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot.

Huang Quan said eagerly: "General Zhao, Liu Bei has captured our two cities, and the morale of our generals has also fallen to a low point. If Liu Bei is allowed to go down to three cities in a row, I am afraid that the Yizhou soldiers will have no intention of fighting. ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "This is a bad word, as long as the officers and soldiers of our army work together and hug together, the faster Liu Bei wins, the faster he will lose in the end." Liu Bei's base camp is in Jingzhou at the moment, because of the marriage and alliance with Jiangdong Sun Quan, Zhou Yu attacked Cao's army in Jingzhou and helped him as a shield, so he dared to come to Yizhou to show off his might. But even so, Liu Bei did not dare to attack with the whole army, and would inevitably stay behind to guard the land of the four counties of Yizhou, in case Jiangdong took advantage of the situation and would never dare to come out empty-nested. So I judged that Liu Bei definitely didn't have many troops coming at the moment, at most 10,000 or 20,000 horses. ”

Zhang Ren said: "What General Zhao said is true, then Liu Bei came to attack the city this time, but there were only 15,000 men and horses. ”

"With only 15,000 men and horses, if you want to protect a city, you can still do it, even if you add another city, there is no problem with the people and soldiers in the city. If you protect three, four, or five cities, I am afraid that you will not be greedy enough to swallow elephants. After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he smiled at everyone.

That Huang Quan couldn't help but ponder for a while, and seemed to understand what Zhao Yu meant, but he didn't dare to be convinced, so he couldn't help but say again: "What does General Zhao mean is that he wants to disperse Liu Bei's main force?" ”

Zhao Yu said: "This is exactly what I mean, you also said just now, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are strong, and the soldiers under his command can fight well, and now they have won consecutive victories, and there are many disadvantages in head-to-head confrontation with them." Therefore, he decided to drop the city as a bait to scatter Liu Bei's troops and horses, and then cut off from it and attack from the flank. At that time, Liu Beijun's troops will be consumed, and the follow-up support will not be able to keep up, and the morale will be instantly generalized and defeated one after another. ”

"It's really wonderful, with Liu Bei's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, once they are consumed by the division of troops, they will inevitably be like a plate of loose sand. At that time, as soon as the soldiers of our army tasted the sweetness of victory, they would be like seeing hope, and they would be able to defeat Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. Zhang Ren couldn't help but say happily.

It's just that after finishing speaking, Zhang Ren became suspicious, and couldn't help but say: "Although Liu Bei only has 15,000 soldiers and horses, most of the people in the city are the people, and there are food and grass supplies. After occupying the city, you only need to defend it strictly to wait for the support of the rear army, if our army cannot capture the city in a short time, I am afraid that it will be a fulfillment of others. ”

"The seconds General Zhang said, if we can't capture the cities for a long time, those cities will be lost to Liu Bei in vain." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he looked at the puzzled expressions of everyone, smiled slightly and said again: "It's just that although Zhao said that he was going to throw three cities to Liu Bei, he didn't say that he would give it to him for nothing, since he gave it to him." Of course, we have to let Liu Bei have a little blood, otherwise we will be bullied. After Zhao Yu finished speaking, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
