"Ahh

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "In this case, why did the lord order Zhang Yan to lead the infantry army to attack Yuan Shao's headquarters, isn't this a self-defeating net?" ”

"Without it. I have always suspected that Yuan Shao still has unknown methods that have not been used, that is to say, he has a back hand, and the real killer weapon is always hidden and not leaked. This time, I just want Zhang Yan to lead the army to attack him directly, force him to a dead end, and see how long he can hide! ”

As he spoke, the expression on Li Li's face became solemn at some point, and there was a lingering melancholy in his eyes.

As Zicheng said, this time Zhang Yan and the 50,000 Montenegrin army led by him are indeed very dangerous, or they are tantamount to throwing themselves into the net, and the result will definitely be more than lucky, and nine deaths. However, this is not that I, Li Li, are ruthless and deliberately let them go to death, but if they don't go, our army must also have someone to go and use their bodies as bait, so as to completely force out Yuan Shao's long-hidden plan.

Otherwise, our army will always face unknown dangers, and the slightest carelessness will ruin the good situation in front of us, and even bury the whole army, directly leading to the defeat of this decisive battle. If the Montenegrin army is not sent to the test, then what cavalry of our army is willing to make such an unpredictable attempt? Is it the Flying Bear Battalion under Huan Fei's tent, or the Jin Yiwei under you? ”

"Ugh! This??? Jin Yiwei and the Flying Bear Soldiers are both elite soldiers with one as ten, how can they be given up lightly? Li Zhi blushed and hesitated for a while, and finally vetoed it with a hard face.

Li Li bowed his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Yes." Jin Yiwei and the Flying Bear Battalion are both elite soldiers and strong generals who have experienced a hundred battles, so naturally they can't risk their lives. In comparison, the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion, the Longxiang Battalion and the Shuofeng Battalion are not far behind. It's all a war cavalry battalion that I set up with my own hands, and no matter who I give up, I can't give it up. Therefore, there must be a trade-off between the two powers.

Compared with our army's war cavalry, the Montenegrin army was born as a thief and had poor weapons and equipment. and lack of training, limited combat effectiveness in head-to-head combat; Although there is no shortage of brave and good fighters, they are all good and bad after all. So. can only let them go to test it, and they can't tell them the truth in advance, treat the feint attack as a strong attack, and let them go all out to attack the rear of the Chinese army where Yuan Shao is located. forced Yuan Shao to comply. Thus exposing the horse's feet. Only in this way can I confidently and boldly lead the army to break through Yuan Shaozhong's army, and then defeat the allied forces in one fell swoop, and win the final victory in this battle. ”

"I see, the lord's move can be described as well-intentioned!" Li Zhi sighed lightly with empathy.

Li Li shook his head lightly and sighed: "This is also a last resort to do it knowing that it is impossible to do. There is no doubt that I must have acted selfishly in doing so. Favoring one over the other is extremely unfair to the officers and men of the Montenegrin army. However, I, Li Li, am not a saint without desires after all. In many cases, it is impossible to completely let go of personal feelings, and the decisions made are inevitably indistinguishable. In addition, there is another hidden danger in this move, that is, it is easy for the generals of the Montenegrin Army to mistakenly think that I have taken the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, weaken the strength of the Montenegrin Army, and thus completely annex them. This is something that cannot be justified, and I will not explain it to them. Therefore, they simply did not let them know the truth from the beginning, and no one was allowed to mention it after the war, as if it was an accident, nothing more. ”

"The last general knows what to do, and he will deal with it after the war, and he will definitely let all those in the know be tight-lipped and not leak half a sentence." Li Zhi replied respectfully.

"Just ???" Li Zhi stopped talking, and after seeing Li Li's expression as usual, he asked in a low voice: "Why is the lord so sure that Yuan Shao must have a back hand?" After all, our army has planted a lot of details in the Allied forces, and there are also Cao Cao and Sun Ce who have revealed all the military information of the Allied forces to us; Why didn't they ever bring it up? Could it be that this was a trick planned by Yuan Shao alone, and the other princes were unaware of it, or even unaware of it? ”

"Well, Zicheng's words are not unreasonable." Li Li bowed his head and groaned: "I have also considered these factors, and even suspect that I am too suspicious. However, compared to allies like Cao Cao and Sun Ce, I trust my instincts and eyes more.

The so-called allies are nothing more than short-term alliances of interests that take advantage of each other and have mutual interests, and in fact they are not even friends. There is both cooperation and mutual wariness between each other, and even more wariness than cooperation, suspicion exceeds trust. In short, no one can trust anyone, and they can't take it seriously. Therefore, instead of leaving your own safety to these profit-driven allies, it is better to pay attention to it and scrutinize every detail you see with your own eyes. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li raised his eyes and looked at the mountains and forests under the dark night sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "In fact, since the moment I received the war letter sent by Yuan Shao, I suspected that Yuan Shao had ulterior motives and must have some plans. Because he set the decisive battle site in Loudiyuan, which in itself is very strange and quite intriguing.

As we all know, only Loudiyuan is relatively empty within a radius of 100 miles outside Hangu Pass, which is suitable for cavalry combat, but it is very unfavorable to the infantry army. And the allies are precisely more infantry and less cavalry, fighting on the open plain, which is extremely unfavorable to the allies, but our Xiliang iron cavalry can exert ten percent of the combat power, which can be said to have the upper hand.

With such an obvious terrain disadvantage, presumably Yuan Shao would not be unaware; After all, he is already over fifty years old, and the scenes of the great war he has seen in his life are far above ours, and he can be called well-informed. In this case, why did he know that the terrain was unfavorable to the allies, but he still did the opposite, and set the decisive battle site in Loudiyuan?

There is no doubt that the reason why he knew he could not do it was because he had something to rely on. Moreover, his plans were so great that he was so confident in his own plans that he did not hesitate to take risks, and was willing to risk being defeated by our army in one fell swoop, and also induced our army to fight a decisive battle with him. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li affirmed with a solemn expression: "Yes, although I still don't know what his plans are and what his intentions are, I am very sure that he must have a back hand, and he has hidden the eyes and ears of the princes from all walks of life. Around this Loudi Plain, there must be a huge conspiracy that Yuan Shao has been planning for a long time, the purpose of which is to destroy my Li Li and the Xiliang army under my command in one fell swoop.

That's the only way. In order to prompt him to spend millions of dollars and food to unite all the princes to crusade against me, and even to supply the heavy ordnance needed by hundreds of thousands of troops at any cost, but also to fight our Xiliang army head-on. ”

After listening to Li Li's explanation. Li Zhi nodded heavily in agreement, and then ordered the two captains behind him to lead a thousand-strong team to supervise the battle in the Black Mountain Cavalry, preparing to sneak attack the rear of Yuan Shao's Chinese army.

————————————

"Huh? Zhang Yan thief actually did not resist the Xiliang battle horse, and even dismounted and bowed to Li Thief? This?????? Whew! ”

As Li Li expected, just as he and Li Zhi were talking while leading the army to the rear, Yuan Shao, who was in the rear of the Allied Army, really got a scout report and learned about the strange situation when the Black Mountain cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry met. and the scene where Zhang Yan met Li Li face-to-face.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was so angry that he was smoking, and his six organs were spewing fire. The five organs trembled, the hideous face and the bloodshot eyes, like a fierce god, and the desire to choose someone to devour.

Truly. Yiqiē is the same as Li Li expected. Yuan Shao, who is now nearly sixty years old. He was already a little powerless in leading his troops into battle, and he was unable to charge into battle; But in terms of employing people and controlling people, they are becoming more and more spicy, and their means are extremely clever. To this day, all the princes of the allied army have his eyeliner around them, these people were originally the personal soldiers or middle and low-level generals of the princes, but because they couldn't resist the coercion and temptation, they had already taken refuge in him Yuan Shao in private; And those die-hard elements who are stubborn will quietly disappear once they can't be bought. No one is alive, no one is dead, no corpse is seen.

Yes, all the princes of all walks of life have a little trouble. It will reach Yuan Shao's ears as soon as possible, so that he can take countermeasures in time. It's just that for most of the year, although the princes from all walks of life are quite dissatisfied with him Yuan Shao, they often complain in private, and there are many people who scold him; But these are trivial and inconsequential. For this reason, Yuan Shao has always turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear; As long as the princes did not disobey his orders and did not do anything about betrayal inside and outside, he ignored them, and they still greeted each other with a smile when they met, and they were really happy and angry.

However, Yuan Shao never expected that the thing he had been worried about had no sign before, but it suddenly happened at the last moment of the decisive battle.

"Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, actually defected to the battle and led his troops to take refuge in the thief Li Li!" The moment he got the secret report, Yuan Shao's mind was full of this bad news that he couldn't accept no matter what, and he was so angry that he was dizzy and his head was dazed for a while, so that he was short of breath and wheezing like a cow.

At this moment, there were no more princes of all walks of life by his side. At the beginning of the war, the princes all returned to their own formation, and Sun Ce and Zhang Yang, who had remained in Hedong, turned back to the camp from both wings, and then did not stop for a moment, and returned to Hedong County directly by boat. Therefore, the only military generals who are still on standby by his side at any time are the generals under his command.

"Damn! Hateful! Shameful! The thief Zhang Yan is a big thing for me, I Yuan Shao and the thief swear that I will not give up! ”

After gritting his teeth and cursing Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao forcibly calmed down, and the rapid wheezing sound quickly calmed down, and his bloodshot scarlet eyes quickly returned to clarity.

At this moment, Yuan Shao is really difficult to deserve under the fame, showing the true character of the overlord, with the ability to control his own feelings that ordinary people can't imagine, he is definitely confused about small things, but he is not confused at all when he encounters sudden events.

"Zhang He obeyed the order, pretended to be unaware and allowed Zhang Yan's 50,000 infantry army to pass through Guò, and then led the 30,000 horses of his headquarters to cover up and kill, there must be no mistake!"

After a pause in his voice, Yuan Shao waved his hand without waiting for Zhang He's answer to reply and signaled him to return to the camp immediately and follow the order, and continued to order: "Chun Yuqiong, Gao Lan, Gao Gan, and Yan Kai listen to the order, immediately reorganize their troops to fight, and when Zhang Yan's thieves lead their troops to come, they will wave their troops to kill, and fight back and forth with Zhang He's subordinates, and they will definitely kill the thief Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army under his account, and leave no one behind!" ”

This time when he gave the order, Yuan Shao didn't stop at all, turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, and ordered continuously: "Xian Yi listened to the order, and immediately ordered Cao Cao to lead his troops to rush to the aid of the left flank, and he must not hesitate for a moment." Remember, don't tell him anything, let alone mention Zhang Yan's rebels and Li Thief's presence on the left flank, otherwise he may not dare to confront Li Thief head-on! ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" After agreeing to the promise, Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong and others left one after another.

As soon as the generals left, Xu You and Tian Feng glanced at each other with solemn expressions, and then approached Yuan Shao.

I saw Xu You observing Yuan Shao's face attentively, and said softly: "The lord is angry, the thief Zhang Yan is a thief without faith, the lord doesn't have to be angry with such a thief." However, Zhang Yan led his troops straight to the place where we were, but it was a little troublesome, in case of breaking through the phalanx, it would ??? Once our plan leaks in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lure Li Thief to lead the war cavalry to attack. At that time, the qiē we have done before will also be burned, and there will be no chance of winning, and the general trend will be gone! ”

"Why do I not know this? Knowingly, stupid, stupid pig! Yuan Shao scolded angrily.

Obviously, the anger he had just forcibly suppressed was churning up again at this moment, and Xu You was the first target of his anger.
