When he received Jia Xu's report on the military situation, Wang Yu happened to lead his army to Nixian County on the north bank of the turbid Zhangshui.

This place has entered the realm of the upper party.

It is the top of Taixing, the leaf shape is the highest, and the sky is the party, so it is called Shangdang, which is the origin of the name of Shangdang. The land here is high and dangerous, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. The Battle of Changping that year took place in Changping Pavilion, fifty miles south of the city of the eldest son of Shangdangzhi.

It was after this battle that the Qin State completely established an overwhelming surname advantage over the six Kwantung countries, although it failed to take the opportunity to take the strong enemy Zhao State, but after occupying the upper party, the Qin State already had the absolute initiative.

After Gao Gan and Yuan Tan escaped from Jizhou, they also had such an opportunity for a while, but the opponents they faced were too difficult. As a result, not only did they fail to take advantage of the geographical advantage, but they were repeatedly beaten by Xu Shu's counterattacks, and finally had no choice but to give up.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?" Wang Yu read the letter, and did not rush to express his opinion, but as always, he consulted with his staff and generals, and Zhuge Liang, who joined the army, was naturally the first target.

"What the military advisor and others said has their own reasons," Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "There is no doubt about the eyesight of Mr. Degong and Mr. Chengyan, over the years, except for matters related to the lord, the conclusions they have made after deliberation can be said to be nine times out of ten. Cao ** this time, it is indeed a long-planned plan! ”

"Well, of course Cao ** is not a soft persimmon, and joining forces with Sun Ce and Liu Bei is even more powerful, whoever underestimates them will definitely be unlucky."

Wang Yu nodded thoughtfully, and then changed his words and said: "However, the conspiracy and trickery are all small ways, if he wants to win, after all, he still has to fight with real swords and guns, if it were you, how would you start?" Well, Ziyi, Zilong, you can also talk about it together. ”

"It must be to take the middle palace directly and attack Gao Tang with all your might!" Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun are both people with calm surnames, and they didn't rush to pick up, but Tai Shici didn't care about it, and rushed to shout: "Lord, didn't you say that you were attacking the east and the west last time?" This should be the number of roads. He first released Liu Xuande's ghostly guy out to stir up the storm, and then suddenly attacked Wen Hou again, these two tricks have been used, and the three route armies of our army have become fighting on their own! ”

"The area of Dongping Country has been ruined a lot, and after the battle a while ago, there are basically no more people. If I were Cao **, I would definitely fool Sun Bofu to take the lead, take advantage of Liu Bei's opportunity to stir up Gao Tang's restlessness, cross the gap between the two armies of Wenyuan and Tanzhi, and only bring three or five dry foods, and go straight to the south bank of the river at the fastest speed. ”

"Sun Bofu's soldiers are all from Jiangdong and are familiar with the surname Shui, even if they can't collect enough boats, they can cross the river. Maybe you don't even need a ready-made ferry, you can just find a place to get there. After crossing the river, isn't taking Gaotang like picking up things? ”

Tai Shi Ci's mouth is fast, but he is not unscrupulous, and his heart and eyes turn quickly, and the few points he points out are very reasonable, and he is to the point. All the generals agreed, and even Wang Yu was a little surprised: "Shibei San, you should really be impressed, Ziyi, haven't you spent all this time studying?" Otherwise, how can you come up with a plan? ”

"Take a look, then." Tai Shi Ci raised his chin and said very proudly: "This is called keeping pace with the times, lord, you can't always look at people with old eyes." ”

Rao is the situation is urgent, and the generals are still amused by this living treasure.

Qin Feng leaned up, patted Tai Shici's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, in fact, he is very shrewd, but he is stupid, he is a dumb man who eats dumplings, and he can't tell what kind of thing in his heart, he has been reading military books these days and nights, just waiting for this opportunity to make a statement to the lord!" Fortunately, the lord is empathetic, and he will ask for a plan here in Niexian, otherwise he will be able to give a living Ziyi to the sick of life, haha. ”

"Go, go, you're a madman everywhere!" Tai Shi Ci angrily shook off Qin Feng's hand and shouted, "What do you mean by waiting for this opportunity?" I am clearly imitating the sages, and the worries of the world are worried, how can it become a taste in your mouth? Tell you, familiar to familiar, if you talk nonsense, I won't rest with you! ”

Tai Shi Ci threatened angrily, but there was no deterrent, but it made everyone laugh and laugh.

No matter how critical the situation is, the military discussion of the Qingzhou Army will rarely have a situation where everyone is sad and discussing in the gloomy clouds. This time the crisis was particularly serious, and the atmosphere was originally a little dignified, but because of the gags of Tai Shici and Qin Feng, the heavy atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. Ziyi's calculation is still very reliable, who will continue to say it next? After everyone laughed for a while, Wang Yu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to focus on the topic.

"Although it is a sound to attack the west, the western front may not be without trouble." The second to speak was Zhao Yun, who still had the usual solemn look, and said in a deep voice: "If I were Cao **, I would not just bet on the Gaotang strategy, but take advantage of the current favorable situation as much as possible!" First of all, Hanoi ......"

Zhao Yun groaned slightly, his eyes turned on everyone, and he stayed on Lu Qiling for a moment, and after observing the change in the latter's expression, he continued to explain with confidence.

"Zhang Yuanjun was surrounded in Xiao Xiuwu, this place seems to be safe, but it is not. It is too close to the Yellow River, and so is the confluence of the chasm, the two rivers of the yin ditch and the Yellow River. If there is really the shadow of Cao ** behind the change in Hanoi, Yu Poison and Zhenggu will be on guard, and Cao Jun is also likely to appear on the battlefield at a critical moment! ”

Zhao Yun's voice was not high, but the weight of this analysis was very heavy, and everyone's hearts suddenly froze, as if they were suddenly pressed by a heavy stone, and they sank hard.

is about her father, Lu Qiling is even more discolored, and her face is bleak. No matter how bold she is, she is still a girl in her cardamom years after all, where can she resist this kind of blow?

The most powerful weapon of the Lu Bu army was the surprise attack. The usual pattern is to have the trap camp that is the best at melee take the lead, and rush in one go before the enemy has time to open the formation, and after disrupting the formation, the cavalry launches a full-scale attack to crush the enemy in one go. Relying on this hand, this strong army can often create a record of defeating the strong with the weak in a wide range of roundabout operations.

But the strongest point can also become a weak point, and as long as the enemy is prepared, it will not be so easy to be quickly defeated. In the middle of the battle, another enemy suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and a yellow finch was behind, not to mention Lu Bujun, even if it was the Qingzhou elite cavalry led by Wang Yu himself, it would not be good to go.

Under the panic and anxiety, Lu Qiling's pretty face full of masculinity rarely revealed a helpless look, and Wang Yu, who was watched by his wife, felt uncomfortable. Lu Bu's stubbornness made him helpless, and Cao **'s scheming made him hate it even more.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything now, Wang Yu can only be ruthless, and gesture to Ma Yunluo with his eyes to help pacify, and the military meeting will be held as usual.

After the alliance between Pingtao City and Ma Chao, Wang Yu let the Xiliang army leave without any restrictions. Of course, his original intention was to isolate the contact between the Xiliang Army and Cao **, so as not to cause further incidents, as long as the Xiliang Army retreated far enough, even if Ma Chao got the news, it would be too late to regret it.

Unexpectedly, this move won Ma Chao's approval, thinking that Wang Yu is a capable and courageous man. So he became the master as the eldest brother and married his sister Ma Yunluo to Wang Yu.

In this regard, Tai Shici secretly said a lot of strange things, thinking that Ma Chao still refused to admit defeat, even if the battle could not be fought, he would have to take advantage of his reputation. With this family business, he can call his father-in-law his brother-in-law, isn't this **?

Wang Yu himself was very happy.

Ma Chao will take the initiative to ask for marriage, at least to show recognition, political marriage, and the surname hostage is almost the same. If it is forcibly requested, Ma Chao's temper may explode, and he takes the initiative to propose, then everything will be fine.

All the generals sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, so they spoke one after another. Although there are many opinions, they are generally based on the speeches of Tai Shici and Zhao Yun, and the novelty is limited.

In the end, Wang Yu's gaze fell on Zhuge Liang.

Because he expected the urgency of the situation in advance, Wang Yu did not wait for Xu Shu's Western Front Army to go south. Moreover, according to the strategy he formulated, Xu Shu and Xu Huang would start their westward expedition after handling the affairs of the annexation state.

First of all, the combined troops attacked Hedong, and then divided the troops into two roads, Xu Huang crossed the river from Pubanjin, Xu Shu went to Shaanxi County, attacked Tongguan, and attacked Chang'an.

If the situation in the Central Plains is smooth, the attack of the Western Front Army is to plow the court and sweep the holes, copy Cao **'s lair, and then cut off the passage between Cao ** and Yizhou, so as not to reach a union between the two sides.

If the war in the Central Plains does not go well, the actions of the Western Front Army are to contain Cao **, even if he wins Yanzhou, Cao ** does not dare to let Xu Shu and Xu Huang disturb him in his flank and rear. Chang'an has been dilapidated for a long time, and the people are tired, and losing it is not much of a loss. However, the strategic significance here is too great, once Xu Shu occupies a foothold here, Cao ** will be attacked on two sides, or even three sides.

Xu Shu and the others have other tasks, and there is only one Zhuge Liang left in Wang Yu's staff, and when the generals have no outstanding opinions, he naturally wants to ask him for advice.

"The minister thinks that what the generals said makes sense, and this is the ultimate goal of Cao **, he just wants to increase the concerns and speculations of the military advisor, and finally becomes a rat trap and loses ground."

"In terms of the current situation, it is not a complete strategy for the military advisors to do anything. If the two soldiers of Wenyuan or General Tanzhi returned to rescue Gao Tang. It is difficult to protect Sun and Liu Buxuan with a shot, attack Gaotang openly, and plunder Mount Tai and even the hinterland of Qingzhou! Or drive straight into Puyang. If you don't save it, it's not a solution, because Gao Tang is indeed in danger. ”

"It's the same on the Western Front, Wen Hou is in danger, it's reasonable, and our army should be rescued. However, on the Western Front, there was only General Wen Ze all the way, and if he rashly divided his troops, there was a danger of being taken advantage of by Cao **. To put it bluntly, Cao **'s strategy this time is not complicated, that is, to give full play to the initiative in his hands, but the more simple this routine, the more difficult it is to break ......"

Zhuge Liang came to a summary of the surname, although the age is still a lot worse, but it seems that he is already very instructive of the ancient ministers.

It can be seen that people's talents, in addition to potential, mainly depend on their position. After Wang Yu excavated these talents in advance, after being placed in the right position, he quickly learned a lot of experience and got closer and closer to the image that Wang Yu was familiar with.

In this regard, Wang Yu is happy to see it.

"The key is nothing more than a trade-off. It's just that the word trade-off is simple, but it is difficult to do in practice, the lord once joked that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and the current war situation has this taste. Not afraid to be offended, the military advisor is actually more suitable to play the barefoot one, but now he is forced to play the role of a shoemaker, and this is where the biggest crisis this time lies. ”

Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Jia Xu sounded a little funny, but no one was really laughing, because the meaning was too heavy.

Jia Xu was born from the grassroots and is accustomed to thinking about problems in a weak position, and it is much more difficult to let him defeat the strong with the weak than it is for him to overwhelm the opponent with strong strength.

In the current situation, it must be difficult to do everything, the key is how to make the right trade-off, which is what Jia Xu is not good at.

The good swimmer drowned, I'm afraid the fat man himself didn't expect that one day he would be used as a target, and others would be used as a target for research, all kinds of calculations, right?

Wang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, imagining the fat man's anxious appearance now, full of emotion.

Speaking of which, the most suitable left-behind commander is actually not Jia Xu, but Zhuge Liang...... The complete version of the historical one. Zhuge Liang's specialty is precision calculation, which is best suited for commanding the strong side to attack the weak side. When he is fully strategic, he can make the other party unable to find any loopholes, and in the end there is nothing to do.

Interestingly, Zhuge Liang in history was also placed in a completely unsuitable position. is obviously known for his exhaustive strategy, but his task is to lead Yizhou and counterattack the Wei State, which is several times stronger.

If it was Jia Xu or Pang Tong who led the counterattack of Shu in history, what would become of the world?

"Lord, lord?" Wang Yu's imagination was interrupted by Zhuge Liang's voice, and the generals' eyes were a little heavy, obviously misunderstanding that Wang Yu was also worried, and even helpless.

"Well, the situation is like this, do you have any countermeasures?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's all at a loss. If you are in Yanzhou, there are many ways, and with the mobility of Qingzhou's elite horse, you can easily respond to all parties and thwart Cao **'s conspiracy.

But the problem is that now everyone is still far away from the party, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers in between, including a Taihang Mountain! Not to mention helping the war, it is impossible to give orders.

Even if it is a flying pigeon, it will take about three days on the road, and it will take six or seven days to go back and forth! The military situation is like fire, where can it withstand such a delay? Remote command is simply not feasible.

The only way I can think of is to speed up the march. But there are limits. Even if most of the supplies are provided by the counties along the way, but the state is mountainous, and it has to pass through the Taihang dangerous road, even if it is a cavalry, the speed cannot be rushed.

What's more, the rapid march is a great physical drain on the men and horses, and if the rush is too fast, it will definitely affect the state of the battle, but the gains outweigh the losses.

In the silence, Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: "My lord, when you discussed the battle situation in the Central Plains with your ministers before, didn't you come to a preliminary conclusion, and then used a flying pigeon to pass the book and send a bag back to Puyang?" In that bag, it is none other than ......"

"Tips?" When the generals heard this, they were all in good spirits.

Everyone knows that during this time, the lord often discussed something with Kong Ming, although he didn't know the content, but it must be closely related to the Yanzhou war.

And the trick is the lord's special hobby. I don't know what kind of allusion, anyway, the lord often hides the strategy in the bag in advance, so that the executor can take it apart and look at it when he encounters difficulties. Although the strategy in it was written down in advance, it can subvert the common sense that the plan can't catch up with the change, and it always has a different effect.

Although the current situation is not very optimistic, since the lord has written down the tips, there is nothing to worry about. Although the military advisor has been exposed to his weaknesses, he has not become an idiot, with the master's tips in hand, it is not easy to deal with Cao, Sun, and Liu joining forces?

The eager look in the eyes of the generals made Wang Yu also under great pressure.

Figure it out, it's a joint effort of Cao, Sun, and Liu, this era has the last laugh, and the three great people who stand out, what kind of tricks, it is impossible to play these three in the palm of your hand.

However, there is no way to explain this. After all, history has come to a fork in the road, and in the eyes of the world, these three bulls are the defeated generals who have been suffering under their own hands, or they can be referred to as the three deflated ...... Well, it's better to strategically defy the enemy.

As early as in the secret discussion of Lian Yulai, Wang Yu had already made a calculation in his heart, and at this moment, he also made a decision immediately: "Kong Ming, you immediately write a letter to Yuan Zhi, ask him to postpone his westward advance, allocate grain and grass as soon as possible, transport it to the south, and give priority to ensuring that the cavalry is used!" ”

"Mix grain and grass?" Zhuge Liang was stunned and looked at Wang Yu in disbelief.

This order is not the same as originally planned.

Originally, the cavalry would return the same way, and after returning to Jizhou, supplies could be raised locally, so there was no need to carry too much grain and grass. Now the lord has to call for supplies from the Western Front army......

This can only mean one thing, the Lord has decided to change course!

With the current battle situation, there are only two ways to change, take Bai Cheng or Taihang Cheng and go directly to Hanoi! If you go to Taihang, it may be to encircle Wei to save Zhao and attack Luoyang; If you go to Baicheng, there is only one possibility, the lord plans to save Lu Bu in person!

"Lord, do you really want to change the route? What the hell do you ......have in your bag," Zhuge Liang thought about it, the more frightened he became. The strategy after the diversion is all about gambling! Gambling that Cao ** really calculated Lu Bu first; Bet that Lu Bu can hold out for at least ten days; Also bet that there will be no problems on other fronts!

Thousands of miles away, you find a flaw in the enemy's army, and then delusionally think that one blow will be fatal. This kind of move is simply ...... Zhuge Liang suppressed himself and swallowed the words "bravery" back into his stomach, but the look of surprise and doubt on his face could not be concealed at all.

The reaction of the others was a little slower, but the face after thinking about it was not much worse than Zhuge Liang.

Everyone was stunned, with the only exception being two girls.

"Sister, the general really cares about you, for your sake, he doesn't care about anything." Ma Yunluo flashed a pair of big eyes, and stars were about to emerge. I have long heard that this future husband is like the champion Hou Zaishi of the year, the same courage and invincible, invincible, and the same unparalleled ** seed in the world.

"How can this be?" Lu Qiling also had a rare childlike demeanor, twisted, and said with disgust and joy: "Our husband, it's amazing, maybe he has already thought of some strategy to break the enemy, how can he be hindered by the love of children?" ”

Despite saying this, her beautiful eyes were staring at Lang Jun for a moment, and the eagerness and gratitude in her eyes were also undisguised.

Looking at the look of her good sister, Ma Yunluo suddenly became a little envious, and she didn't know why, but she couldn't suppress this sudden emotion. She was slightly at a loss, so she changed the topic and said, "Speaking of this plan to destroy the enemy, I still don't know what is written in that bag." ”

"Well, yes." Lu Qiling also thought of this section, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Wang Yu looked like an old god, and she didn't mean to explain in detail at all.

Although the generals were unwilling, they could only give up, and of course there were many speculations in their hearts, and they couldn't agree with each other.

……

In fact, not to mention those who haven't seen the tips, even if they do, they will have fewer doubts.

Not long ago, Jia Xu, Yu Fu and the others were frightened, and several of them sat there without manners, looking a little sluggish.

"What the hell ......is the master's clever plan" Yu Fu suddenly stood up, walked briskly for most of the circle, suddenly stomped his feet, and said quickly: "Strategist, what do you think?" It's not going to work at all, is it? Do you wait for the lord to receive the latest military information and think about it before ......?"

"Yes, military affairs, be cautious, the lord's strategy is inevitable...... It is always necessary to deliberate and deliberate again. Wang Lang also echoed: "The plan that the three generals and Chen Shuzhi came up with before to resist the enemy was dangerous enough, and now they have to ...... Isn't that ...... In short, Wenhe, you should make a decision on this matter! ”

The staff members are also talking.

"This letter was sent by the flying pigeon, could it be the lord's plan to confuse the enemy?"

"Also, didn't the lord always say that flying pigeons would not be used for major decisions? Now suddenly...... That Cao ** is scheming, and his subordinates are also talented, could it be that they are the ghosts? ”

"Don't really say it, if that's the case, then the thief is too cunning!"

Diao Chan didn't express an opinion, she couldn't see how useful this trick was in breaking the enemy, but it was obvious that this trick could be said to have a certain degree of doubt about Jia Xu's ability. At this time, it is time to test people's hearts. How will this master choose?

No matter how everyone discussed, Jia Xu kept sitting still, and only his expression changed from time to time to show that he was not in a daze, but thinking.

After a long time, he suddenly sat up, his expression unusually solemn.

Everyone knew that he was going to make a final decision, so they immediately stopped talking and looked at each other.

Under the attention of everyone, Jia Xu slapped the table case heavily: "Needless to say, you can act according to the plan!" (To be continued.) )
