Chapter 400: Xuzhou Recovered
Chapter 400 Xuzhou recovers a monthly vote voted by the Makino Feng brothers, and thanks to the top of the ancient road brothers for an evaluation vote!
Jiang Qin's death reduced the resistance of the Wu army to zero at once, and the offensive of the Wei army was suddenly overwhelming, and the Wu army's front was defeated and retreated.
Xiahoudun ordered his subordinates to attack, and killed Jiang Qin, the general of Wu State, before the battle, the Wu army was defeated, and the news of the Wei army after all quickly reached Zhou Yu's hands.
At the moment of disappearing, Zhou Yu's eyes closed tightly, unwillingness, helplessness and a hint of admiration flashed on his face, and he secretly said in his heart: "Guo Fengxiao, in this scene, in the end, I lost." ”
Zhou Yu was very unwilling in his heart, not only because of the defeat in this war, but also because in the confrontation with Guo Jia, he was the one who lost in the end.
Zhou Yu and Guo Jia, although neither of them have met, but their confrontation has never stopped, at the beginning, Zhou Yu gave Guo Jia a dismount, turning his own passive into active, but then it was solved by Guo Jia in an unexpected way.
Subsequently, Zhou Yu used the people in the city to deal with Guo Jia, he gambled on the grasp of Xiahoudun's character, in Zhou Yu's view, Xiahoudun has been in Xuzhou for several years, a few years, not to mention that even a dog will have feelings, not to mention the state soldiers under Xiahoudun who are composed of local people in Xuzhou.
Zhou Yu bet that Xiahoudun would not attack, whether it was unbearable or because of the reasons of his subordinates, it was Zhou Yu's opinion that he would not attack, but Guo Jia obviously did not think so, and sent Xiahoudun to lead the Wei army to attack Xuzhou, obviously in Guo Jia's view, compared with the people of Xuzhou, Xiahoudun's loyalty to Cao Cao in his heart is the first.
At first glance, Xiahoudun seemed to be just ordered to attack Xuzhou, but in fact, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia were divided into winners and losers in Xiahoudun, and in the end, Zhou Yu still lost to Guo Jia about the grasp and understanding of people's hearts.
"Governor Dadu, I didn't expect Xiahoudun to be so ruthless, and he would directly kill the people with a knife, what should our army do now?"
Zhou Yu's thoughts seemed long, but in fact, in an instant, Zhou Yu, who opened his eyes, temporarily suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and said very calmly: "Withdraw the army, withdraw to Xiapi, the governor of Xiapi has already ordered General Han Lao to secretly garrison my 1,000 elite divisions of Dawu in Xiapi, even if the Northern Wei army in Xuzhou is captured, my Dawu still has Xiapi, this war is far from over!" ”
The 1,000 Wu troops secretly stationed in Xiapi, even if Zhou Yu is the final follower, is a character that every qualified strategist must have, and Zhou Yu is the same.
In Zhou Yu's plan, if Xiahoudun did not attack, then he would rely on the people to drive the Wei army out of Xuzhou, and then take advantage of the hazy night to send troops to attack the Wei army's camp on the one hand, and on the other hand, send elite cavalry to quickly attack Xiaopei, cut off the back road of the Wei army, and make it a lone army.
Of course, in addition, Zhou Yu also thought of what to do if he failed to join, Xiapi is Zhou Yu's backhand, if he fails, then with the hidden army of Xiapi, Wu can quickly seize the ruling power of Xiapi, and the Wu army stationed in Xuzhou can also retreat to Xiapi in an orderly manner to resist the Wei army.
As long as the Wu army is not annihilated or is beaten back to Jiangdong, then it does not mean defeat, the reason why Zhou Yu is so stubborn and has to stay in Xuzhou is only because he knows very well that if the Wu army is in Xuzhou, then it will be a shot in the heart for the allies in the other two aspects.
Zhou Yu knew very well that if the Wu army, who was the main envoy, was beaten back to Jiangdong, then the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou, because of Zhuge Liang, who could not see clearly, Zhou Yu was not easy to say, but the Han State of Bashu, the Liang State and the Qin State in the Western Liang Land would definitely retreat, their character, Zhou Yu knew too well, and it was typical to go up when they saw the benefits and withdraw when they saw the dangers.
Zhou Yu's retreat plan was not opposed, obviously all the people present understood the situation, knowing the situation at this time, if they stayed, it was very likely that they would be caught in an urn by the Wei army.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yu and others, the Wu army quickly escaped from the city gate that had not yet been captured by the Wei army, and withdrew to Xiapi, and as soon as the Wu army withdrew, it was announced that Xuzhou had fallen into the hands of the Wei army again, and the white background Wu flag, which had been flying for a few days, was replaced by the black Wei flag again.
Outside the city, seeing the atmosphere of the Wei State fluttering in the wind on the city wall, the faces of Zhao Yun and other generals were happy, while Guo Jia on the side, although there was no change on his face, he was relieved in his heart.
This time, Guo Jia can be said to have made a big gamble, he gambled on whether Xiahoudun's character was as he said he thought, although the final facts proved that in Xiahoudun's heart for Cao Cao's loyalty, loyalty to Great Wei is the first, but it is conceivable that if Guo Jia loses the bet, then not only will the Wei army lose a great opportunity, but the ensuing troubles will completely drag more than 100,000 Wei troops into the quagmire.
Zhou Yu took into account the back hand, but Guo Jia did not, just as some people in later generations commented on Guo Jia, thinking that he was a crazy gambler, Guo Jia's strategy is often a big gamble, and this time is the same.
He has never considered Xiahoudun's backhand in failure, what he is thinking about is Xiahoudun's success, the next strategy, such a character I don't know whether to say good or bad, but this success is not only because of Guo Jia's grasp of Xiahoudun's mentality, but also because of Guo Jia's unexpected strategy.
"The first step is successful, then it's time to move on to the second step, if it succeeds, then you can completely eliminate the Wu army."
Looking at Guo Jia, who started drinking again, Zhao Yun and the others didn't say anything, but directly began to implement Guo Jia's second part, which can also be said to be the last step.
They all knew very well that if the last step was successful, then the elimination of the Wu army would be a certainty, and Zhao Yun, who knew very well what the purpose of leading the army was to come here, began to implement Guo Jia's strategy without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.
The Wei army entered Xuzhou, and the Wu army retreated to Xiapi, and the two ** teams, which seemed to be unrelated at this time, were filled with an inexplicable atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
