777.Chapter 777 Xu Shu's forbearance strategy

"Fortunately, the military division calculated in advance that the enemy army would attack the camp, so he deliberately placed a number of empty camp tents on the innermost side of the camp tent, and even if a fire broke out, it would not burn anyone. Moreover, this time, the officers and men of our army were on patrol in shifts, and when the fire broke out, they extinguished it, so it did not cause any damage. ”

This time it was Pound who spoke, and after he finished speaking, Pound tried to recall all this that Xu Shu had arranged at the beginning, and couldn't help but admire it very much. Not to mention that the enemy's fire attack disturbed the battalion and failed, even if the enemy army came to attack the battalion, after rushing into the battalion, slashing and slashing all the way, and finding that all the empty military tents would be surprised, and they would admit that they had fallen into the trap of the enemy, which would greatly reduce morale, and they were more likely to throw themselves into chaos and retreat.

After Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but look at everyone with a smile and said: "This time, the Wei State sent four generals and four advisers to come, and these are quite outstanding, so we must be careful." In any case, you must not underestimate the other party, and the real victory is the last laugh. ”

"We will remember the words of the military advisor." Everyone said in unison.

Looking at Yang Xiu and Guo Huai again, after leading a thousand soldiers and horses to successfully attack the Zhao army's military tent in the night, they immediately withdrew, except for a sergeant who accidentally encountered the arrow shot by the enemy camp guard on the way to retreat, the rest of the soldiers and horses were all safe and sound. When the army returned to Fuping City, Man Pet led the rest of the people to greet him personally, and everyone was full of joy after learning the results of the battle.

Hearing the results of this battle, Man Zhong was quite happy and said: "The two of them attacked the Zhao army's camp late at night, and the Zhao army's camp tent was lost in one fire, presumably those Zhao troops must be extremely angry when they were still asleep when they were burned military tents, and they will definitely send a large army to attack tomorrow." In this way, the initiative in the entire war will once again belong to our army. "Although I have already learned of this kind of record this time, but when it really comes to it, I am still quite happy with it, compared to this kind of result, it is the initiative of the whole battle that is full of favor.

After finishing speaking, Man Zhong added again: "It's not early today, you better rest and recuperate early, and wait until tomorrow to fight the enemy army." At that time, it will be a good time for you to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, if you are mentally exhausted, I am afraid that you will not be able to fight with all your strength. ”

In the camp of the Zhao army outside the city, a group of people were sitting together, and sitting in the middle were Zhao Yan and Xu Shu, and everyone was discussing something with each other, but it was mostly related to the attack of the Wei army just now.

Suddenly, Xu Shu spoke: "Presumably, after the night attack of the Wei army this time, we will definitely wait for our army's attack tomorrow, but our army does not plan to make any moves, and all the men and horses should stay in the barracks and not act rashly." ”

Then Xu Shu said again: "Then tomorrow, if these enemy troops can't wait for us to attack the city, I'm afraid their morale will drop greatly." When the time comes, it is highly likely that the enemy army will be the first to go out of the city to engage our army, so you should be prepared. ”

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Pang De on the side couldn't help but say excitedly: "Hehe, I'm just waiting for this moment, it's really suffocating these days." As long as these enemy troops dare to come, I, Pound, will let them go and never return. "Although I have participated in the battle against Cao Wei before, this time it is different. This battle was not only to conquer Cao Wei's enemy, but also to recover the homeland of Xiliang. Even if this Xiliang no longer belongs to the Ma family after it is recovered, it can finally be regarded as a great revenge if he can finally drive the Cao family out.

"If the enemy army attacks this time, the generals must be careful to prepare for war, it's not too early at this moment, everyone should go back and rest early, be sure to recuperate." Similarly, in order to let everyone fight with all their might, Xu Shu urged everyone to rest, in order to conserve physical strength.

Early the next morning, all the people of Wei got up and actively prepared for war. From their point of view, after yesterday's attack, the Zhao army will definitely be furious, and it may lead a large army to attack the city at any time. But even if these people waited from dawn to noon, they didn't see Zhao Jun riding alone, and it wasn't until dusk came that everyone couldn't bear it, and some people couldn't help but scold.

Yu Ban took the lead in opening his mouth and scolded angrily: "What the hell is going on, are these Zhao troops blind, we are so passive and active, and even attacked their camp at night, but these people still don't come to attack the city, are they so willing to be like this by us?" ”

Zhang He on the side couldn't help but say angrily: "It seems that these Zhao Jun are interesting to want to be shrunken turtles this time, if so, Zhang He is willing to lead an army to attack Zhao Jun, and he will definitely kill Zhao Jun in one fell swoop, and completely teach them a lesson, and see if these guys have a little blood." ”

After hearing the words of the second general, the four advisers were silent, and after a long time, they turned to Mao Jue and asked, "I don't know what Lord Mao Jue thinks of Zhao Jun's actions today, it's better to say it." ”

I saw Mao Jue nodded thoughtfully and said: "If you look at Zhao Jun's past actions, Zhao Jun has always liked the speed of soldiers, seize the opportunity, and a battle is coming." But this time the Zhao army of 100,000 troops came, it was really strange that they just couldn't stand still, in this case, Mao Jue guessed a possibility, that is, the 100,000 Zhao army who came this time must have had something, or something happened. ”

As soon as Mao Jue's voice fell, everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but look at each other, and then only heard Hao Zhao ask: "I don't know what Lord Mao Jue means by Zhao Jun's accident and incident?"

Mao Jue said without hesitation: "Whether it is Zhao Jun or others, they all know that the soldiers are fast and give the first opportunity. But this time, the Zhao army of 100,000 soldiers and horses came, and they already had an advantage in morale, but when they came to the territory of our city, they were only defending in the barracks of the garrison, and they had no intention of sending troops. Even yesterday, our army sent troops to attack and disturb the fire, and these Zhao troops still did not move, so Mao Jue guessed that there must have been some accident in the Zhao army. For example, the soldiers you mentioned before are not adaptable, or the supply of food and grass for the follow-up army is not enough, so this situation occurs. ”

After hearing Mao Jue's words, everyone couldn't help but feel that there was some truth, Guo Huai immediately asked, "Then according to Lord Mao Jue's meaning, the Zhao army is in trouble now, and this is a good opportunity for our army to attack, right?" ”

Regarding Guo Huai's question, Mao Jue didn't dare to say too much, after all, everything was just a guess, so he just listened to his quiet words: "This Mao Jue doesn't dare to speak, but judging from this situation, it is indeed a good time to do so." If there is really a problem in the Zhao army, it will be extremely beneficial to us, and once the Zhao army avoids these problems, I am afraid that the other party will definitely counterattack our army. It's just that I don't know what the military advisor thinks of this matter, whether we will continue to confront each other with the Zhao army like this, or send troops to attack the Zhao army's camp? ”

When Mao Jue's words were implemented, everyone around them focused their eyes on Man Chong, after all, all the command of the army this time was in the hands of Man Chong. As long as the full pet says the word "no", then all conjectures are useless even if they are good, and everyone dare not say anything.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Manzhong is also quite stressed, this time he is a marching military division, responsible for leading an army of 100,000 to meet the Zhao army, in addition to himself, there are three advisers and four generals on the left and right. If you blindly don't fight, I'm afraid that the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers will be exhausted sooner or later.

Although this time, I heard that Mao Jue's analysis was quite reasonable, but Man Pet always felt that things would not be so simple, but Man Pet couldn't smell what the enemy army conspiracy was.

Just when Man Chong was puzzled, he only heard Guo Huai say to Man Chong is hand: "Military advisor, the last general is willing to lead the first army as a vanguard army to meet the enemy army for a while, and see what kind of tricks the Zhao army is doing." ”

Looking at Guo Huai's confident expression, Man Chong really couldn't refuse, only to hear Man Chong Chong say: "General Guo Huai has such ambitions, how can I disappoint the general." However, Zhao Jun has always been scheming, and if the general goes alone, he is quite uneasy. ”

didn't wait for Manzhong's words to fall, only to see Yang Xiu on the side, he immediately stepped forward to greet Manzhong and said: "Military Division, it was Yang Xiu and General Guo Huai who attacked the enemy camp at night before, and they also have some understanding of the market and the place of the enemy's camp. ”

Yang Xiu's words can be said to be very reasonable, the two of them went to the night attack on the enemy camp together last night, which can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the road along the way and the enemy camp. This time, the two of them led the soldiers and horses together, which was more suitable, and immediately heard Man Zhong say to the two: "Since this is the case, then tomorrow there will be two Lao each leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Zhao army's camp, and we must give the Zhao army a good fight, so that they can see that the soldiers and horses of our Wei State are by no means so easy to bully." ”

Yang Xiu immediately clenched his fists and said: "Please rest assured, with me and General Guo Huai joining forces, it will definitely make the Zhao army look good." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Xiu and Guo Huai respectively led an army out of the city, aiming at the Zhao army camp forty miles outside the city.

On the way to the army, I only heard Guo Huai suddenly say: "Lord Yang, when you arrive in front of the enemy camp in a while, it is better for Lord Yang to sweep the formation in the rear, Guo Huai leads the men and horses to attack the enemy camp, so that you and I can be regarded as taking care of each other." ”

After hearing Guo Huai's words, Yang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "General Guo's intention, Yang Xiu understands, but this time the enemy army has given 100,000 troops to garrison, and with General Guo's 10,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that something is wrong if he wants to go and attack the enemy camp alone." ”

Yang Xiu's words could be regarded as a wake-up call for Guo Huai, only to see Guo Huai nodding and asking, "Then in Lord Yang's opinion, how should we attack him?" ”
