Chapter Seventy-Three: Wang Xu Zhanwei
As the two of them expounded their own opinions, the generals also discussed and divided into two factions to argue.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao and Fu Xie suddenly shook their heads secretly and remained silent.
Wang Xu also sighed very much in his heart!
These generals in the army are indeed lacking in ability, they can lead troops to fight on weekdays, and they can calmly deal with ordinary wars, but they are a little stretched in this kind of emergency!
But since this matter was done by the young son of that Zhang Jiao, of course Wang Xu could not make the other party happy.
After a little contemplation, he quickly interrupted everyone's discussion. "I'd better go!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Song first looked happy, but then shook his head again and again: "You have just recovered from a serious injury, how can you fight again?" There are so many excellent generals in our army, you don't need to worry about this battle! ”
These words moved Wang Xu a little in his heart, but he replied without hesitation: "The general's words are wrong!" Even though I've just recovered from my injury, it won't hinder this fight! ”
"All the kings know that if the army is killed, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up in time, and it will also damage the spirit of the soldiers. However, sending an iron cavalry assault is quite difficult for this Yellow Turban thief army, so the best way to fight this battle is to outwit it. ”
After speaking, Wang Xu arched his hand to the generals with a smile on his face and said: "All generals are rare good generals, but everyone has their own strengths, this kind of tricky small battle is just right for me to play, and I also have a good strategy." Therefore, I hope that the generals will raise their noble hands, so that they will not compete with me for this small achievement. You'd better recharge your batteries for the upcoming battle! Leave that to me. ”
Wang Xu's words were extremely smooth, which not only said the severity of the battle, but also made the generals worry in their hearts. At the same time, he appropriately belittled himself and raised everyone, so that these generals could have a step down!
The generals are also extremely smart people, how can they not know the difficulty of this battle? They also know Wang Xu's ability. Now that Wang Xu originally took the initiative to pick up the burden and gave enough face, who wouldn't know what was good or bad?
Therefore, at this moment, they all smiled at Wang Xu, no longer said more, but looked at Huangfu Song together!
Just when Huangfu Song was still a little hesitant, Cao Cao, who was originally silent, uncharacteristically helped to persuade: "General Huangfu, Wang Xu is good at fighting, I think this matter is feasible." If the general is really worried about his safety, I can go with him! ”
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song's frowning brows finally dissipated, and he laughed violently. Without hesitation, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" In that case, I will give you 3,000 iron horsemen, and you two must keep the food and grass of my army safe. ”
After speaking, without waiting for the generals to react, their faces turned grim, and they suddenly turned their heads and shouted: "Pass my order!" Transferred to the east of the river, three thousand knights in the west of the river are more than Wang Xu, and immediately rescue Zhao Xuan, there must be no mistake! ”
"No!"
After responding to the order, although the generals did not understand why Huangfu Song changed so quickly, they still rushed to mobilize the sergeants.
And Wang Xu ran back to where his subordinates were, called Gao Shun and Xu Huang, and Wang Fei set off immediately.
In fact, Wang Xu was not sure about this battle, so he didn't let Xu Shu follow, and Xu Shu didn't know why, he was rarely obedient, but just worriedly admonished!
"Drive! Drive! Ride ......" in the rumbling sound of iron horses, dozens of miles are just around in a blink of an eye!
It's a pity that although Wang Xu has stepped up quickly, he is still a step too late after all. When he and Cao Cao arrived with their troops, Zhao Xuan and Gai Sheng had already broken through the Yellow Turban and fell into a scuffle, and some of the grain and grass baggage had even ignited a raging fire!
Seeing that the battle situation was not good from afar, Wang Xu was not reckless, and immediately reined in the war horse, raised his spear, and shouted: "Stop!" ”
After speaking, he and Cao Cao glanced at each other hurriedly, without any hesitation, the whips in the hands of the two of them waved almost at the same time, and the horses galloped up a higher slope on the right. Seeing this, Wang Fei, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others immediately followed!
As soon as he reached the top of the slope, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and quickly swept the entire battlefield, and after a while, a slight smile appeared on his face.
Only then did he calmly roll up his horsewhip, point to the battlefield in front of him and ask with a smile: "Wang Xu, you said before that there is a good strategy to break the enemy, I don't know what the strategy is?" ”
Regarding Cao Cao's obvious ridicule, Wang Xu didn't care at all, but smiled heartily: "With the wisdom of Brother Meng De, I already know it, why do you ask so much?" Don't you want to see the joke below? ”
"Where can there be any plan for such an emergency, it is all up to the generals to improvise when they are in battle! If it weren't for the fact that the crowd would be arguing endlessly, worried about delaying the fighter plane, how could Wang Xu say such wild words, Meng De wouldn't be laughing at me! ”
"Hahaha......"
Cao Cao immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, but after a while, he praised with respect: "Good and strained, the strategy in your chest is enough to defeat 100,000 male soldiers." Looking at the generals in the current army, except for General Huangfu, it seems that only you and I have the ability to calm this yellow scarf! ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Wang Xu to answer, his voice changed, and he continued with a smile: "However, Your Excellency was calculated by General Huangfu today!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
As soon as he asked suspiciously, Wang Xu suddenly reacted, and looked at Cao Cao with an unfathomable face in shock: "Could it be that General Huangfu deliberately pretended to hesitate just now, waiting for us to take the initiative to ask for help?" ”
"Haha...... That's right, don't you underestimate General Huangfu, with his resourceful and decisive character, after being reminded by me, how can you not know the current situation? How could he, who knows all the generals well, not know that you and I are the only ones in the current army who are the most suitable to retreat from the enemy? It's just that you and I have already made great contributions, and if you don't provoke an argument and let the generals know the difficulties and retreat, they will inevitably have some ideas in their hearts! ”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Wang Xu suddenly smiled bitterly, and after engaging in it for a long time, he really stepped into the trap.
But soon he was relieved, if Huangfu Song didn't have this ability, then he was not qualified to give orders to himself!
Seeing that Wang Xu was silent, Cao Cao didn't say much about this matter, and instead said with a smile: "The current battle situation is not good, as far as you observe now, how can we break the enemy?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't think much about it anymore, pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said: "Meng De, please look, the Yellow Turban Thief Kou obviously occupies a condescending terrain, and under the sudden attack, Zhao Xuan has been besieged in a low-lying place. Although Zhao Xuan handled it properly, with the help of grain trucks and other things, he alleviated the temporary crisis, but the situation was already chaotic, and it was impossible to hold on for too long! ”
And General Gai Sheng, who came with reinforcements, seems to have chosen to concentrate his forces and raid the Yellow Turbans from the south to the north. This method is certainly correct, but unfortunately its troops are not sharp enough, and the Yellow Turban Army has two fierce generals to suppress the formation, so it is in a dilemma! If General Sun Jian had acted like this, he would have already broken the yellow scarf! ”
After speaking, Wang Xu smiled calmly, turned his head to look at Cao Cao and continued: "On the occasion of this melee, our army's strength has exceeded the other party, so it is reasonable to surround and confuse its heart, divide and attack its head!" What did Mende think? ”
"Hahaha......"
Cao Cao burst into laughter when he heard this, but he didn't reply directly, but said loudly: "Since that's the case, I won't compete with you." I will take 500 soldiers around the north of the Yellow Turban, besiege but not attack, and help you, and the rest is up to you! ”
After speaking, he took a deep look at Wang Xu, and quickly slapped his horse away!
Seeing this, Wang Xu no longer wasted time, and immediately shouted loudly: "Where is Gao Shun!" ”
"In!"
"Let you take a thousand iron horsemen to go around from this high place, and strike at the weak point of the Yellow Turban from the right. If you encounter an enemy general, you can avoid the battle, just break up and divide the Yellow Turban Array! After the chaos, go straight to the banner of the Chinese army, and you must cut it down as soon as possible! ”
"No!"
"Xu Huang!"
"In!"
"You take 500 people to attack the Yellow Turban from south to north, remember not to get caught up in the melee, you can only rush back and forth, put pressure on the enemy's heart, and respond to General Gai Sheng!"
"No!"
After quietly watching the two of them rush to the battlefield, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Wang Fei, who was silent.
Seeing his aggrieved face, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Second brother, are you very dissatisfied with me for not letting you go to the battlefield?" ”
"Nope! The military order is like a mountain, how dare I be dissatisfied! Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye can see the deep grievances contained in Wang Fei's words.
However, Wang Xu didn't explain much, just smiled and shook his head, and then looked at the battlefield in the distance again......
