Chapter 804: Wisdom and Courage
The biggest difference between people and animals is that people will learn and learn from experience.
He guessed correctly, at this moment, on the sea a few hundred paces away, the flickering light was emitted by the lanterns hanging high on the small sampans that carried the floating load.
The light of the lights is not very bright, even if it is close, it can only illuminate a few feet of the surrounding area, and if you look at it from a distance, you can only see a large area of stars, which is a maritime version of the empty city plan.
There is only one person on these boats, who is responsible for lighting the fire and keeping the lights out, and the boats are connected by ropes to form a long line, connected to the stern of more than a dozen large boats, and the large boats are pulling the action, so it seems that the action is quite consistent.
The real combat strength, except for the more than 100 people who escaped from the camp and set fire, was only more than 300 people on the big ship. In terms of force comparison, it was clearly another brilliant victory.
"Brother Ziyi is a good plan, this is considered to be a dead thief." Looking at the tent on the coast that had turned into a sea of fire, Wei Yan praised from the bottom of his heart: "With this battle as the foundation, the first merit of this Eastern Expedition belongs to our Hidden Mist Army, it is really proud!" Shock, don't you feel sorry for the ship now? ”
Chen Zhen's eyes widened, and he looked at the scene on the shore blankly, never expecting that Tai Shi Ci's child-like strategy would be such a simple achievement.
"Hu Ren is stupid, I know, but isn't that thief very resourceful? Although the conspiracy and trickery he came up with never helped us, in hindsight, it was still very insidious. It's very lethal, even the lord said. To deal with this person, you have to be fully energetic. Otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you will take advantage of it. Can...... Now ......"
Chen Shao stumbled and said, sincerely saying that Tai Shici's strategy was not very clever, he watched all the way and found many loopholes that could lead to the failure of the plan. Before today, he was still very firm that Tai Shici's trick cost a lot, but the results should not be great. It would be nice to burn a thousand people.
It's not that he is reluctant to cover the thousands of grains, nor does he care about the so-called gunpowder that will be made by the Zuo Division, he is distressed by the ship that gave false information.
If the weapon is the second life of the infantry, and the war horse is the cavalry, then the ship has the same meaning to him, and it is worth the loss to lose a good ship for a plan that has little chance of success and has little effect if it succeeds.
But the problem is. Tai Shi Ci succeeded, not an ordinary success, but a complete victory.
It is not yet possible to count the exact results of the battle, but it is only a visual one. Chen Zhen can also estimate the approximate losses of Hu Bing, and there should be about 5,000 trapped in the fire. These people are basically dead, and only a lucky few can escape. The amount is negligible.
Those outside the camp were frightened by Tai Shi Ci's bluff, and they also completely collapsed. Although it was easier for the Hu people to gather the rout than the Han army. But it will not be so easy to restore the strength of these routers. Even if he could do it, the delay would be terrible.
From the perspective of the entire battle situation, this main cavalry was severely damaged, and the resistance of the Wuhuan people and their determination to fight to the death must have begun to waver. After all, these 20,000 cavalry are nearly half of Wuhuan's troops, and this army of soldiers and horses has been defeated so miserably, as long as Badun's head is not an elm pimple, he should understand that it is impossible to be lucky.
Such a brilliant victory originated from a very casual strategy, and the truth of it is really incomprehensible.
"Xu Thief's cleverness is mainly used to calculate his own people, Wang Fen and Zhou Jing back then, and Liu Bei and Cao Bao later are all like this, they are wrong because they believe Xu Thief's words!"
Tai Shi Ci smiled contemptuously and explained: "Xu Thief is like this, let him quote the scriptures to explain some great truths, analyze the general trend of the world, he can say the truth, and when it comes to the real chapter, he can only catch the blind." It's such a person, but his heart is higher than the sky......"
"If he comes up with a bad idea behind his back, it's really hard to guard, who knows which fool will be fooled by him and suddenly run out to be an eyesore? But if he jumped to the surface to command the army, he would be unhappy, and if he didn't know that he was making waves behind his back, he might not have set this trap. ”
"How?" Chen Shao's water nature is very good, but his understanding is average, Tai Shici's words are actually very clear, but he is still quite puzzled.
"Think about it, since this thief is arrogant, he must want to make some achievements, at least better than others. But the arrangement of Wenyuan and Zilong, not to mention Xu Thief, even if Xu Rong came to Liaoxi to lead the troops back then, he was helpless. Then he knew about this trap, and even if he felt something was wrong, how could he not take a look? After taking a look, if you can't go, can you still stand him? ”
Tai Shi Ci's heart is happy.
The credit is secondary, the point is that this victory is significant. In the past, both the lord and his colleagues felt that they were fighting with courage alone, and they would be blind when they encountered complex situations, so they had always consciously or unconsciously excluded themselves from the decision-making level.
But this time, he didn't even move his fingers, and between talking and laughing, the captives disappeared. As Wen Chang said, he ate Xu Yu to death, isn't this what Zhiyong Shuangquan is? Look at who will dare to say that he is brave and unscrupulous, and he is a pure desperate Saburo?
Of course, it is also important to make this contribution. With the credit foundation, about his marriage, the lord is embarrassed to continue to sell off, right?
"Brother Ziyi, aren't we going ashore yet?" Seeing Tai Shici's look of being so dark that he was hurt internally, Wei Yan felt that he should remind him.
"What do you do ashore?" Tai Shi Ci asked casually.
"Chase and kill, to prevent the resurgence of Hulu or something." Wei Yan said in a natural tone, when Xu You sent out the troops, he brought more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and now although he burned four or five thousand to death and ran away four or five thousand, it stands to reason that there should be a reserve nearby.
Wei Yan was not carried away, feeling that his four or five hundred people on his side could defeat more than ten times the enemy army. He just wanted to follow up and see if there was a chance to expand the results of the battle, anyway, the Hidden Mist Army was very good at night battles, specially practiced, and there were many tactics that could be used in night battles, if he was lucky, he might be able to wipe out the enemy in one go.
"No need," Tai Shici unexpectedly rejected Wei Yan's proposal, yawned, and replied lazily: "Just wait for dawn and let the brothers clean up the battlefield." ”
"Yes...... Hey? Of course, Wei Yan was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Brother Ziyi, this is not like your style. ”
"Hey, Wen Chang, this is why you are too careless, have you read Wen Yuan's reply? If you think about it, he asked us about the approximate location in the letter, remember? ”
"Yes, but what does it matter?" Wei Yan still didn't understand, they are now the grain officers, and Zhang Liao, as the main general, must have some understanding of their whereabouts, otherwise where will the army go to supply?
"Wen Yuan, that person is careful, and never does superfluous things." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "If he takes the initiative to write and ask this question, it will be similar to what you think, but he asked after we sent him a letter, this ploy can be hidden from Xu Thief, but not from Wen Yuan, he will definitely make arrangements......"
He spread his hands and said, "So, what are we going to do ashore?" Do you want to attack with Zilong? Let's not talk about whether there is morality in doing this, even if you really rob it, who can rob Zilong. ”
"That's what happened!" Wei Yan suddenly realized, pointed at Tai Shici and shouted, "Brother Ziyi, when did you and Wen Yuan get together?" How can there be such a tacit understanding? Well, have you discussed what we are going to do next? ”
"What's next?" Tai Shi Ci turned his head to look at the east, and said with a meaningful smile: "Of course, it's to do your duty." ”
……
This fire burned for several hours, until dawn, Yan Rou and Su Fuyan were more than ten miles away, and they could still see the thick smoke billowing from the south.
Both of them were apprehensive and embarrassed at the same time.
Yan Rou's little braids were gone, only a small tuft of her forehead remained, dangling there like a pendulum. Half of Su Fuyan's face is black, and the other half of his face is red, the black is smoked, and the red is the burn scar, if his voice hadn't changed, I'm afraid his mother wouldn't have recognized him as Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong.
However, compared to the missing Wuyan, the two of them are lucky, at least their lives are still there, but Wuyan is right in front of them, burned alive! Now I'm afraid it's become a handful of black ashes.
In addition to Wuyan, Xu Yu is also gone.
For Wuyan, Yan Rou still has a little sadness about the death of the rabbit and the fox, but he hates Xu You's disappearance: "I knew that the tuberculosis ghost was not a good thing, but I only knew that I was stirring up trouble everywhere and deceiving others to send them to death, and I saw that the situation was not good, but I slipped away faster than anyone else!" Lao Tzu and Lao Qi are enjoying happiness in Youzhou, if they hadn't been deceived by him, who would have nothing to do to provoke Wang Yu's demon? ”
Yan Rou is not a person who has not endured hardships and experienced twists and turns, he can become a well-known tycoon from a Han slave, and his firmness of mind is also rare in the world. But there had never been a moment when he felt so desperate, as if there was a great net in the underworld, and he and his companions were firmly enveloped under the net, from which they could not escape no matter how much they struggled.
He regretted it and vented his anger on Xu You, thinking that the other party had pushed him into a desperate situation.
Su Muyan didn't know the inside story of the Battle of Youzhou, and he also felt that Xu You's scourge was really annoying, and it could be said that he single-handedly pushed Wuhuan into the abyss, and he was also scolded at the moment. (To be continued......)
