Chapter 160: Soldiers besiege Zhuo County

Xun Yu's talent is undoubted, in history, it was he who repeatedly designed and retained most of Gunzhou under Lu Buqiang's army after Cao Cao's main force left Laowo.

In the Battle of Guandu, Xun Yu strategically formulated and planned the blueprint and military route for Cao Cao to unify the north, and was Cao Cao's chief adviser and hero to unify the north.

The world only knows that Guo Jia's dying design allowed Cao Cao to successfully kill Yuan Shao's son and completely unify the north. Don't you know that long before the war, Xun Yu had already made all the strategic plans. His strategic vision is unique, and he should be above Guo Jia. As for the construction of internal affairs, it has thrown it off several streets.

When Xun Yu wanted to revise Yuan Shaojihua, everyone listened quietly.

"General!" Xun Yu bowed to Qin Feng and said: "Surrounding three and one, and the situation of three large camps is a good strategy for besieging the city. However, it is better to spread out the army and quickly besiege it, so as to slowly plan it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Feng didn't understand it anyway, but he understood that the most important thing was to listen to the advice of talented subordinates. In this way, we can be invincible and dominate the world.

What a monarch should do is what he should do to reflect on himself at all times. I haven't seen all dynasties, there are more uneducated founding emperors, and Qin Feng has more than a thousand years of knowledge than them.

If it was said that it was his dynasty, Qin Feng really didn't dare to say that he knew people better than these founding emperors. But if he is in the Three Kingdoms, he is well versed in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he should not let go.

Xun Yu said eloquently: "Our army is tired today, so this is a melee. In the coming day, we will recharge our energy and advance to the city of Zhuoxian, and we will first set up camp at the south gate. Our army is well-armed and well-trained, and if the enemy comes to disturb it, it will be defeated. ”

"Youzhou Thorn Shi Liu Yu guards Jixian County, Shanggu County guards Liu Yan guards Zhuolu, and Zhonglang of Beiping County guards Gongsun Zan guards Xu Wu County. All three of them are on the defensive because of the small number of soldiers. However, when our army arrives today, when we send messengers to inform the three places and ask them to send troops to support, our army should be further strengthened. (The official history Liu Yan has never done the history of Youzhou Thorn, and the romance only mentions a sentence of Youzhou Taishou, and there are more Youzhou Taishou)

"When these large armies arrived one after another, we expanded the camp and surrounded the Zhuoxian ...... with the big camp." Xun Yu said with a smile: "Our army continues to build new empty camps during the day, send troops out of the camp at night, and make it look like reinforcements are arriving one after another during the day, and then use the method of adding and subtracting stoves to give Zhang Bao the momentum of our army's continuous increase in troops." ”

"Start at the south gate and slowly advance to the east gate, the west gate. However, our army did not stop building the camp, and still slowly advanced towards the north gate of Zuihou. Zhang Bao saw that the strength of our army was increasing, and he would eventually surround Simen, and he would definitely choose to retreat soon. ”

When they heard this, they began to think.

Qin Feng sighed: "Good strategy, psychological warfare, slowly building a large camp, and constantly putting pressure on Zhang Bao." Our army has increased the stove, set up a large camp, and given him the momentum that hundreds of thousands of troops are about to be surrounded on all sides, how can he not retreat immediately! ”

"Psychological warfare?"

Huangfu Song and others heard of it for the first time, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

In the coming day, Qin Feng once again led an army of 70,000 to advance to the city of Zhuoxian.

Zhang Bao led Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao led the troops to attack.

However, this time, Qin Feng did not give Zhang Bao any chance. With the well-equipped officers and soldiers, they put up a defensive position on the spot.

The archery troops shot at each other, but the Yellow Turban soldiers had no equipment and suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Bao had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Zhuoxian County.

"General Zhang, Qin Feng actually went down to the village a mile below the city, he is going to besiege us." Guan Hai said.

Zhang Bao snorted coldly and said, "Qin Feng only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, if he really besieges the city, we will just break it one by one." ”

When Guan Hai heard it, it made sense. If the city is besieged on all sides, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses at one city gate, and more than 100,000 troops of their own country come out, even if the officers and troops are well-equipped, they are not the opponents of our army.

The second day, the third day passed.

Zhang Bao saw that Qin Feng was just setting up a big camp, one did not attack the city, the other did not besiege the city, and sent Guan Hai to fight, and he should not fight, so he was puzzled. However, when he saw that Qin Feng's camp was strong at the head of the city, he had no intention of attacking the camp. In the city, he thought about the plan to defeat Qin Feng's camp every day.

On the fourth day, a subordinate reported that a support soldier from the official army had arrived, and Zhang Bao went to the city to check.

It turned out that Liu Yu's reinforcements of 15,000 people arrived first, and the military general who led the troops was Tian Chou. (Romance, Tian Chou is Yuan Shao's subordinate.) In the official history, Tian Chou was Liu Yu's general. )

In Qin Feng's opinion, this Tian Chou can also be regarded as a character, for him, it is gratifying to meet the famous people of the new Three Kingdoms, and he warmly entertains Tian Chou.

Tian Chou's official position was only a county lieutenant, and he had many exploits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he was favored by Liu Yu to be able to command the army. Seeing Qin Feng's love, he concentrated on obeying orders under the tent.

When the first support army arrived, Qin Feng began to expand the camp according to Xun Yu's strategy.

The scene of tens of thousands of people building a large camp was in full swing, Zhang Bao saw the strength of the official army at the head of the city, and he had a trace of worry in his heart, and said: "We have no foreign aid, but Qin Feng has a lot of support, so what can I do?" ”

Guan Hai was very depressed and said, "Every time there is a fight, Qin Feng is ......like a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

Zhang Bao had nothing to do, and he was determined to avenge the eldest brother and third brother, so he temporarily waited and watched the changes to find an opportunity.

On the fifth day, his subordinates reported that another support from the official army had arrived, and Zhang Bao went up to the city to check again.

This support army was 10,000 soldiers and horses sent by Liu Yan, and the military general who led the troops was Zou Jing.

After Qin Feng took over this army of soldiers and horses, he expanded the camp again.

Tens of thousands of people were in full swing to build a large camp, Zhang Bao's heart was more worried than the day before yesterday, and he said to Guan Hai: "If Qin Feng has reinforcements again, then our army will no longer have an advantage in strength." ”

Guan Hai said: "I fought three times a day, and Qin Feng was just a hidden bird. It is hateful that his large battalion is strong and well-equipped, and he is eager to attack. ”

On the sixth day, Gongsun Zan sent Gongsun Yue to bring 15,000 people, including 10,000 cavalry, so Qin Feng's army was greatly prosperous!

He followed Xun Yu's strategy and began to sneak out of the camp at night, and made it look like reinforcements had arrived during the day. The boundless camp began to spread to both sides of Zhuoxian. Every day, more than 20,000 cavalry galloped back and forth under the city, and the yellow turbans on the city were terrified.

Zhang Bao had nothing to do, and went to the city every day to watch with worry, and saw that Qin Feng's camp was expanding every day, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

Finally, on October 15, Qin Feng's camp blocked the city gates on the east and west sides.

Seeing the enemy's increase in troops every day, the expansion of the battalion, and gradually the scale exceeded 300,000, the pressure on the yellow turban was huge, Guan Hai couldn't sit still at first, and said to Zhang Bao on this day: "General, I have been observing the enemy's battalion for days to make fires and cook, and Qin Feng's troops are already around 300,000. In recent days, the officers and men of the army have been very worried and their morale has been low. ”

"General, Qin Feng has already surrounded the city gates on three sides, and now only the north is left. General, let's retreat. All the way west, enter the state, join the soldiers and horses of the old general Zhang Niujiao, and take the state, our yellow scarves still have a chance. ”

The enemy's strength is stronger every day, and the current Liliang is completely above his own. Zhang Bao was also under a lot of pressure, he pondered for a while and said: "Qin Feng used a strategy to surround three and one, what if we retreat from the north gate and fall into an ambush?" ”

Pei Yuanshao said on the side: "General, we have an army of 150,000, as long as we are careful, most of them can break through Qin Feng's blockade, if he blocks the north gate, we will not have a glimmer of hope." ”

Guan Hai persuaded again: "In addition, the food and grass of our army will last until the next year at most, and it is no longer able to consume it." ”

This is the yang scheme, which is clearly to leave you a way to retreat with an ambush, and you must retreat if you retreat, and you must retreat if you do not retreat.

Qin Feng used Xun Yu's strategy, but he didn't want to forcibly attack the city to increase his casualties.

For Zhang Bao, there is still a glimmer of hope if he retreats, if he does not retreat, if Qin Feng really blocks the four gates, there will be no hope. So he knew that there would be an ambush when he went out of the north gate, but for a glimmer of hope, he had to do so. Then he said, "You will immediately gather your generals, divide the food in the city, and retreat from the north gate tonight." Tell our congregants that after leaving the city, they did not abide by the establishment, retreated all over the mountains, and then converged in Jinyang, where Lord Zhang Niujiao was. ”

"General's clever plan." Guan Haixi said: "In this way, even if Qin Feng has another ambush, it will not be able to deal a fatal blow to our army, and our army will be able to preserve its strength." ”

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County began to prepare for retreat.

The Han army camp, the commander's big tent, Qin Feng sits high in the south, the left hand Huangfu Song, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, the right Gao Shun, Tian Chou, Zou Jing, Gongsun Yue. In the past eight years, the lineup can be regarded as quite imposing.

I saw Xun Yuyan and said: "General, the east and west gates have been blocked, beware of the Zhuoxian Yellow Turban retreating from the north gate." ”

The day before yesterday, Qin Feng had already discussed with Xun Yu, so he stood up and said, "In this case, let's start arranging it today." Tian Chou, Zou Jing, and Gongsun Yue listened to the order ....... ”

"The last general!"

"Tian Chou, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the main road to Laishui."

"Zou Jing, you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the main road to Liangxiang."

"Gongsun Yue, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the main road to Dongcheng."

"General Huangfu Song, Gao Shun, the military division, and the three of you each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the three gates of Zhuo County, east and west."

"Yuan Shao, the two generals of Cao Cao, led the rest of the soldiers and horses with General Ben, and ambushed in the dense forest outside the north gate, waiting for Zhang Bao to retreat, and intercepting and killing ......."

This is a battle for Zuihou, if you win this battle, you can go back to Luoyang for the New Year, get promoted and get rich and marry a wife!
