Chapter 432-for-tat

The cold wind is sluggish, and it can't hide the murderous aura that rushes to the sky.

A large army leaped out of the continuous Mengshan mountain range, like a giant sword, and swung towards the narrow corridor in the middle of Taishan County, as if it were about to cut this corridor into two sections.

Marching in the mountains, the gap between the ranks is usually relatively large, looking at each other from a distance, and the momentum of an army of 30,000 is almost not under 100,000 lions. Considering the incomparably swift marching speed of this army that treats the mountains as nothing, how can those who are enemies not shudder and feel apprehensive?

In the direction of this great army is a lonely city. There were no flags on the city, and the gates were not closed, but they were wide open as if they were welcome. It is clear that the resisters have lost their courage or have given up resistance for other reasons, and this army has nothing but peace in front of it.

"Mr. Zhicai, do you really want to fight Fenggao? There are no soldiers there, so you just need to divide a few thousand soldiers, and you can get them at your fingertips. Looking at the majestic army, Zang Bazhi was complacent, but also a little unhappy.

At the beginning of the march, the progress of the army can only be described as a sweep. The army of 30,000 swept through most of Taishan County like a hurricane, and in just three days, all the county towns south of Mengshan Mountain had already been taken into their own hands, and according to this progress, it would only take three more days at most.

Dominating Taishan County and Qingzhou is Zang Ba's highest ideal for many years, the first ideal is within reach, but it cannot be realized immediately, his heart is itchy, somewhat depressed.

Despite this, Zang Ba did not mean to go against the strategy set by Xi Zhicai. It's not that the other party has any power to suppress him, even if it is his lord Cao Mengde, Zang Ba is also an equal, and this time the troops are more for his ambitions, rather than purely helping Cao Cao to take advantage of the fire.

As he envisioned. It should go north along the Yishui, attack the Beihai, and then attack all the way to Linzi.

But after Xi Zhicai's analysis, he found that when attacking Beihai, he spent most of his time marching on his own territory along the way, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and gave the enemy sufficient time to prepare.

That's right, Wang Yu's kid didn't take Taishan very seriously. I don't care if I lose him.

However, as soon as Mount Tai was lost, it had already dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou. The victory along the way will make those places where the wind makes the rudder see the wind direction clearly and join their own team. The power will snowball.

Even if Wang Yu created another miracle and broke the coalition army of Yuan Shao and the Xiongnu, when he returned to Qingzhou, he would not be able to return to the sky. If you want to recapture Tarzan again, just wait to play hide and seek in the mountains and forests with the bandits.

As long as they don't make a fool and fight head-on with the Qingzhou army, no matter how strong they are, what can they do? Between the mountains and forests, he is the king. Xu Shu, who was famous in Xuzhou, and his special combat team, in front of him, only lost his troops!

If all goes well, you can attack Linzi. That's even more ......

All of this is because of the small correction of the strategy goal, which seems inconspicuous, but if all the changes are calculated in advance. And make the corresponding arrangement, then it is not ordinarily remarkable.

If possible. Zang Ba would rather use all the territory he has conquered since the army was sent out in exchange for the effectiveness of Xi Zhicai. He has all the basic conditions for competing for the world, and the difference is that he doesn't have such an understanding person to guide him.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible, the sick military advisor in front of him was Cao Mengde's confidant. The latter's attention to talents and the wisdom of knowing people far exceed themselves, even if they are in front of them, they don't have to think about poaching. It is enough to be able to use the other party's intelligence to give Wang Yuxiao'er, who has no one in his eyes, a heavy blow, and get enough benefits.

"Can't divide the army ......" Xi Zhicai's face was very bad, with a hint of cyan in his paleness, his body was very poor, and in this cold winter, following Zang Ba's army to march in the mountains made him suffer enough. has been able to survive until now, relying on perseverance far beyond ordinary people and enthusiasm for Cao Cao's great cause.

"Xu Yuanzhi has the ability to change, Tian Yuanhao is good at organization and coordination, and the power that these two can exert when they join forces will be very terrifying. The current success is just an illusion, maybe, they are waiting for General Zang to divide your troops and plunder. Once the troops are divided, there will be various opportunities to break through, and if our army shows its decline, those wall grasses are likely to bet on both sides again, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome. ”

"Taking Linzi directly is the only chance of winning!" Xi Zhicai accentuated his tone: "Even if Wang Yu is lucky enough to break the Hun cavalry, he can only save Linzi first, and then the general can return to the west of the division and capture Fenggao, the meat in the pot, why be in a hurry?" It's all about the big things! ”

"Mr. has good words, Zang Ba is taught." Zang Ba's humble request for advice made Xi Zhicai very pleased.

This person is far from the hero of the troubled times, but if he is a general who guards one side, he is quite qualified, and after this battle, no matter what success or failure, the lord can add a general under his command.

Thinking of this, he secretly sneered in his heart. I don't know what Wang Yu thinks, the conditions for appeasement are so low, and even the original troops and territory of the people are unwilling to promise to be preserved, but it is like asking Zang Xuangao to surrender.

Zang Ba, who was able to openly rob the prison for his father's guilt, can be seen to be a rebellious person, for this kind of person, he can only be enveloped by Gao Jue Houlu first, and then slowly try to cut his authority, how can he find out the matter at the beginning? I've been in contact with celebrities and gentlemen who are good at weighing the pros and cons for a long time, and this kind of arrogant and domineering style is really uncomfortable.

That's fine, if it weren't for Wang Yu's conditions being too low, Zang Ba might not dare to make a desperate bet, and the reputation of the Qingzhou Army that is good at fighting is still very deterrent.

If you refuse to give in to others, how can you win people to serve? The essence of political strategy is nothing more than the word 'compromise', it seems that although Wang Yu has a talent, there are still deficiencies after all. Think about it, even if you are a genius, how can you be perfect?

Looking up into the distance, the sky and the earth are vast, the clouds are deep and the fog is heavy, a long wind blows, and the thick lead clouds are blown together, sprinkling pieces of crystal.

It's snowing!

Xi Zhicai is not surprised.

With his talent, of course, he can't call for wind and rain, but Tiangeo is also omniscient, he watches the sky at night, and has long expected that there will be snow in the near future, and the scope of the impact will be very large. Of course, the snow had an impact on the march, but it did not have as much impact on Zang Ba's army as it did on the regular army.

The bandits, what they are best at is fighting and marching in complex terrain, this snow, even if the Qingzhou army wins in the plains, it is not possible to return reinforcements in the short term.

"God help me!" Xi Zhicai looked up to the sky and laughed, and said hurriedly: "Xuangao, speed up the march of the fast-moving army, strive to rush to Yuanshan tonight, rush to the north before Zishui freezes, go north, capture Laiwu, and take Linzi directly!" ”

"Yes!" Zang Ba was infected by his arrogance, and did not care that the other party's tone was beyond the scope of Keqing's should, and immediately urged the whole army, rolling north, and the soldiers pointed directly at the original mountain!

……

The original mountain is located between Yingxian and Laiwu, in terms of topography, it is the branch of Taishan Mountain Range, and the whole mountain is shaped like a huge winged phoenix, so it is also called Phoenix Mountain. It is the birthplace of the two rivers of Zishui and Wenshui, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

"If the original mountain is lost, Taishan County will completely lose contact with Qingzhou, and the Zang Bajun can go north along the Zishui road, and our army will no longer be in danger to defend, so this is the place of the decisive battle!"

At the same time that Zang Ba's army passed through Mu County and did not enter, in Laiwu City, a military discussion was underway, Xu Shu's face was dusty, but the sonorous and powerful words, with the sound of gold and iron, echoed endlessly in the city guard.

"Shuzhi, Zini, what do you think?" Tian Feng looked at the map intently, thought about it again, and finally did not directly echo it, but turned to the two colleagues.

"This year's Tuntian is going well, and next year we will continue to work hard to achieve the goal of the lord soon. But if you allow the Taishan thieves to invade the Qi country, the damage caused, I am afraid that you will not be able to recover for a year or two, if you can fight a decisive battle abroad, it is not bad. ”

Guoyuan's point of view is purely from the perspective of internal affairs. It is easier to destroy than to build, and for the sake of Qingzhou's new policy, he spent a lot of effort, and naturally he didn't want to watch the results ruined.

"Yuan Zhi, Xu He, how sure are you? In case he's ...... Qingzhou's foundation is dangerous. Compared with Guo Yuan, a pure internal affairs official, Wang Xiu is not ignorant of strategy, and he can see the key links in Xu Shu's plan at a glance.

"Grasp it......" Xu Shu pondered for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and said loudly: "I dare not say more, it is always okay to have more than sixty percent." ”

"......" Wang Xiu was first shocked by his momentum, and then by his words, and finally found that he could only be speechless about Xu Shu. Cai Liucheng dare to say so justifiably? It's only 60% sure! It's about the foundation of Qingzhou!

"One person is for it, one person is against, Brother Yuan Hao, what do you say?" Xu Shu's style was very simple, and seeing Wang Xiu's hesitation, he didn't persuade much, and turned directly to Tian Feng.

When marching and fighting, there is a great chance of victory if there is sixty percent, and if you are really sure that you are nine times out of ten, there will be a danger that the soldiers will slack off and be taken advantage of by the enemy. In Xu Shu's opinion, there are four achievements in the chance of winning the war, and the rest of the odds can be slowly added after the fight. If not, what else would the famous general do?

Tian Feng's expression was solemn.

There is no such thing as democracy within the Qingzhou group, but since it is a discussion, the proportion of people is still very important. If he is against it, it is two to two, and in favor is three to one, so to speak, the direction of this battle is in his hands, and he has to be cautious.

As Guo Yuan said, Xu Shu's strategy can keep the enemy out of the country, and if he wins, he can reap all the benefits; It's just that his strategy is completely contrary to what the lord explained in advance, and once he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After hesitating, Tian Feng just couldn't make a decision, and after hesitating, his gaze unconsciously swept over Xu Shu's face, and the confident smile on the other party's face actually gave him an extremely familiar sense of immediacy.

Tian Feng was at first dazed, then suddenly, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely, waved his hand and shouted: "According to Yuanzhi, fight to the death with the thieves in the original mountain, and swear to die not to let the thieves step into Qingzhou for half a step!" ”
