Oppressive warfare, if Xu Yu heard this name, he would definitely feel related and applauded - this name was really appropriate, and he now felt that something had been pressing on his heart, as if there was a black cloud covering his head.

It's just that he himself can't tell whether this is the pressure brought to him by the Qingzhou Army's tactics, or the bad luck brought about by the consistent opposition to Wang Yu, so he has an unlucky premonition. If he didn't know that he had no way out, he really wanted to just leave this mess and leave.

This battle is really hard to fight.

Before the battle, he still had some hole cards in his hand.

First of all, the proportion of Wuhuan's cavalry is very high, and the attack and harassment warfare that is good at it has the potential to defeat the strong with the weak. In Xu You's mind, even if he can't achieve any results, at least it is okay to slow down the pace of the Qingzhou army, if it can be combined with the changes in the Central Plains, forcing Wang Yu or the main general Zhang Liao to make a surprise move to seek a quick victory, maybe it can still get miraculous results.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the beginning goes smoothly, the rest of the cards are easy to play.

As long as the war here does not show a one-sided state, Xian Yufu will definitely not stand idly by. Although the Qingzhou army's advance route was deliberately close to the southern end of the coast, it would not cause much hindrance to Xian Yufu's troops crossing Baishan.

When Xian Yufu also made a move, Gongsun Du, who had not reached a compromise with Qingzhou for a long time, must not have any ideas at all, and when he also went into the water, would Goguryeo and Fuyu be far away? The anti-Qingzhou alliance in Liaodong was officially established.

But now it is unfavorable, and the Qingzhou Army's tactics are both offensive and defensive, which makes people unable to speak.

Xu You also knew that his attainments in the art of war were limited. But it was not Liu Bei, if he threw his hands and left. If you can't keep these people, you won't lose your fighting spirit immediately, and you won't even be able to delay the time. So he could only try to persevere.

Fortunately, hope has not been completely severed.

The scale of the vanguard team is not large, and Badun also has the intention of testing the waters first, so this defeat is only a loss of a few hundred rangers on the surface, which is nothing compared to the battle losses of tens of thousands of people in the Youzhou War, and it will not cause too much impact, making potential allies retreat.

In addition, Xian Yufu is also a person who knows the general situation, and he is also used to enjoying it in Youzhou, and he definitely can't bear the hardships of wandering on the grassland. So. He will definitely come, and he will personally come with the main forces.

Of course, it is not possible to pin all your hopes on Xian Yufu.

The unheard-of tactics of the Qingzhou Army were half from Wang Yu's hands. Come to think of it, even the attack and harassment warfare that does not do much damage and can only play a little delay, has he spent so much effort to arrange, will he be careless about protecting the supply line that is more important, and almost every general who knows the art of war knows?

Apparently not!

As you can imagine. In the attack and defense of the supply lines, there will be a protracted and fierce tug-of-war. Even if Xian Yufu goes all out, whether he can cut off the supply line of the Qingzhou Army is still between the two. With Xu Yu's understanding of him, no matter how important Xian Yufu is to the overall situation, it is impossible to bet all his net worth on it.

Xu You thought for a long time. I didn't expect that with the current situation, how Wang Yu would defend the supply lines of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. That's right. He still has 20,000 soldiers and a similar number of auxiliaries, but since he chooses to stay in Youzhou. Instead of leading the army himself, it shows that he still has concerns about the security of Youzhou and the situation in the Central Plains.

In this case, he should not use the main force of the Taishan army to escort the grain convoy - this strong army has made great achievements under the city of Juyong, and at the same time the losses are not small, and it is impossible for him to send only two or three thousand men to deal with the more than 10,000 people who are rarely assisted. But if too many soldiers and horses are mobilized, what is the difference between it and his personal expedition?

Xu Yu thought about this a lot, and finally he came to the most likely conclusion, he believed that Wang Yu might use the speed of the wind cavalry and the remnants of the Youzhou army to use the grain transport team as bait to engage in an ambush to deal with Xian Yufu.

These analyses were all the results of his discussions with Yan Rou in private, and it was inconvenient to tell them to Badun and other Hu chiefs, lest the latter feel that Xian Yufu could not be relied on, and he would have to make up his mind to retreat.

After coming to a conclusion, he found Badun again and put forward another countermeasure in addition to the cadres: "Thanks to Dadanyu who will not give up, I am willing to work with General Yan to lead his troops westward to contain the Qingzhou army." ”

When he heard this, he was shocked: "Didn't Mr. say it before...... Why did you change your mind so quickly? ”

Of course, Xu You would not say that he was worried that Wang Yu would set a trap and was waiting for Xian Yu to assist, but found another reason: "After the military discussion, You thought about it again and again, and felt that it was too passive to wait for the news of General Xian Yu, besides, even if General Xian Yu succeeded, it would not be a good thing for Da Shan Yu to let the Han army drive straight in for such a long time......

He nodded repeatedly, he was also worried about it.

The Han army brought so many carts and many ships at sea, even if the supply line was cut off, it would not be completely deprived of grain and grass supplies. In case they break the kettle again and kill them regardless of it, will this Liucheng defend or not?

Xu You sighed and said with self-reproach: "Think about it carefully, You was also confused before, and was frightened by the Han army's external powerhouses. ”

Suddenly, he asked, "Outside is strong and middle-class?" Mr. means ......"

"Although there are many good generals in Qingzhou, there are few who can really take charge of themselves. Every time Guy Xiao'er fights in battle, he likes to take the lead and go to the front line, so the generals in Qingzhou will not get any opportunity to train. Xu You smiled, and his triangular eyes revealed a terrifying light.

"No matter how good the qualifications are, it is in vain not to be trained. Just look at the performance of the Qingzhou generals in the Youzhou War, when the child has not arrived......"

Xu You pinched his fingers and commented on the Qingzhou heroes one by one: "Yu Ban is extremely powerful, but he is not very assertive, and he implements his orders to follow the rules; Xu Huang's style of attacking strong and defending weak is extremely obvious, but he can't cover all aspects of the battle situation as a whole; Tai Shi Ci, Wei Yan and the others are just brave and reckless, so they don't have to worry, only Zhao Yun is a little tricky......"

He smiled and said: "Fortunately, from the very beginning, this son has been limited to a cavalry general, and the Qingzhou cavalry is not small, but after all, there are only thousands, as long as it is strictly guarded, it may not be much trouble." In addition to this, there is only Zhang Liao from Bingzhou who came to marry......"

Speaking of Zhang Liao's name, Xu You's face showed an undisguised look of disdain.

Lu Bu didn't know how to take care of people's feelings and sophistication, so he asked Zhang Liao and his daughter to come to Qingzhou together, in his mind, because Wang Yu had secretly wooed him many times earlier, and Zhang Liao himself was also talented, so he couldn't bear to let it be wasted, so he ordered Zhang Liao to accompany him. But his decision was to treat Zhang Liao as a housekeeper in the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story.

After arriving in Qingzhou, Zhang Liao did not show much importance - the Agni Heavy Cavalry is also Wang Yu's personal guard, and the tactics tend to go straight, Lu Qiling is Wang Yu's fiancée, and it is also the link between the two families of Puyang and Qingzhou, Zhang Liao is a deputy general in this army, it really doesn't seem like he has been reused.

Of course, Xu You didn't know that before the Flame Cavalry officially formed an army, Zhang Liao made a great effort in the training of soldiers and horses, and the suspension of the drill car, if it weren't for Zhang Liao's help, even if Wang Yu had the secret of the Mo family in his hand, it would be difficult to make this strange array reappear in the world so quickly.

In short, he felt that Zhang Liao was a soft persimmon and a major weakness of the Qingzhou Army.

The reason why Wang Yu made him the commander of the Eastern Expedition was only because Wang Yu did not engage in checks and balances in the past, nor did he completely delegate military power, resulting in no one in Qingzhou convincing each other, and Xu Huang, who was the most suitable commander, could not act as the main force of the Eastern Expedition because of the large loss of soldiers and horses in the headquarters, and finally pushed Zhang Liao to the position and the mud.

"Eighty percent of this counterattack and harassment strategy is from the hands of children, and that Zhang Liao is just executed step by step. Although General Qi's martial arts were good, he was not good at changing opportunities and did not prepare in advance, so he was won by the Han army. If you get a brigade of elites, you may not be able to take advantage of the weakness of the Han army, find a gap and hit it, but you can't, you can also contain it a little, so that it will not drive for a long time, and reach the city of Liucheng, I don't know what to do with the big order? ”

After a long speech, Xu You's eyes were blazing, and he looked at him for a moment, as if he was unsuccessful and became benevolent.

After thinking about it for a long time, he was still skeptical, and finally he had no other way to think about it, so he finally nodded.

He selected 5,000 elites from his own people and handed them over to Xu You, and then held a military meeting, and asked for another 10,000 horsemen from Su Fuyan, Nanlou, Louban and others, plus Yan Rou's 5,000 horse thieves, a full 20,000 troops, and handed them over to Commander Xu You.

When Badun handed over the bone arrow representing the military power to Xu You, his palms were full of sweat, and for Wu Huan, these 20,000 horsemen were almost half of the troops. Considering the consumption of 20,000 cavalrymen eating horses and chewing horses, and the impact on the entire situation in Liaodong once defeated, it is not much different from the Ju clan and the decisive battle.

Xu You was also a little nervous in his heart, not for the survival of the Wuhuan clan, but in his anti-Wang Yu and anti-Qingzhou career, this was the first time he had the opportunity to face Wang Yu head-on.

Of course, he took advantage of this battle, because Wang Yu didn't take action personally, but just explained some strategies, and let the crowd discuss it. Isn't the tactics of the Qingzhou Army's infantry and cavalry fighting in turns a clear proof that the generals are fighting separately?

However, the most admired thing in the art of war is to avoid the strong and become weak. After all, it is the first time for him to officially lead the army, and it is difficult to say how much of his conceited wisdom can be exerted, and it is indeed too difficult to deal with Wang Yu, who is at the same level as himself, or even slightly higher, as soon as he comes up, but it is just right to practice with a nobody like Zhang Liao.

Perhaps, by pinching soft persimmons, his talent in military strategy can also be awakened, this time it is not only containment, but it is not completely impossible to win a battle!

In this way, Xu You took an army of 20,000 on the road with high spirits, never knowing what a terrible opponent he was about to face......)
