Chapter 692: Jia Xu's Scheme
At sunset, an endless military camp appeared ten miles away from Xuzhou City, and a famous demon soldier stood on the female wall and waited, eyeing the surroundings vigilantly. This was followed by groups of soldiers, led by their respective generals, patrolling all corners of the camp.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
The carrier pigeon flew into the barracks from the sky, and some demon soldiers untied the silk books tied to it, and then quickly ran to a tent. After a short time, he held a roll of bamboo slips and ran wildly in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent.
"Newspaper"
"General Qiyu"
"Guo Du Governor's Department Urgent Report"
After the soldier ran into the tent of the Chinese army, he shouted to Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat.
The generals standing on the left and right sides all looked over. His eyes focused on the bamboo slips, revealing a look of anticipation and excitement. At this time, I learned the news of Guo Dudu, which must be the latest battle report of Langya State. In other words, the opportunity to sweep Xuzhou has quietly come.
Zhang Xiu immediately got up, walked towards the soldier, and then snatched the bamboo slip and quickly opened it.
When his gaze fell on the last handwriting, a thick smile appeared on his face. I thought that my speed was fast enough, but I didn't expect Guo Dudu's speed to be faster than I thought.
"Guo Dudu has raised 20,000 troops from Yi'an to the south of Xuzhou Langya State, and three fortified cities in one day"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to sweep Xuzhou"
"The Last General Asks for War"
"The Last General Asks for War"
The generals were overjoyed in their hearts, and bowed down to Zhang Xiu again and again to ask for battle. Soldiers and horses from all over Xuzhou have long gathered in Xuzhou City, and Langya is empty, and there are no soldiers to defend at all. With the speed of Guo Dudu, it will not take a few days to reach the city. As long as the onslaught was launched in time, the city could be broken from the north and south, and there was no danger in Xuzhou at that time.
"Inappropriate"
The voice sounded in his ears, and the eyes of the generals were full of displeasure. Guo Dudu's southward journey is like a bamboo, and anyone can see that it has become a foregone conclusion that sweeping Xuzhou. At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to attack, but instead say that it is inappropriate to say a light sentence, wouldn't you miss the opportunity?
It's just that this sentence came out of the mouth of the military advisor, and he can't afford not to weigh one or two.
"Although there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, their strength is extraordinary, and there are still 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City. Even if Governor Guo came, it would only be 20,000 overseas soldiers. The disparity in the strength of the two sides is not large, and the morale of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou is low, but don't forget. There is a way to put the place of death and then live, once the overseas soldiers come. It shows that the Department of the Governor of Guo can avoid Xuzhou City and sweep north of Donghai County, Langya and Pengcheng."
"Xuzhou City has become a lonely city, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou will see no hope of survival, and they will surely be full of death. The 40,000 troops worked together, relying on the fortifications in Xuzhou City, even if our army combined with a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses under the Guo Du Governor's Department, it would be difficult to capture it. Moreover, due to the overseas soldiers and horses going south to Xuzhou, Yi'an had insufficient troops, and it was difficult to defend the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou for a long time. If Yi'an fell into the hands of Qingzhou first, the soldiers and horses stationed in Dongcai could only rush into the sea. At that time, the situation was reversed, and the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou went south, and the troops of Guo Dudu would not be able to escape. Not only will our army not be able to capture Xuzhou City, but there is also the danger of annihilation."
"My Guangling Iron Cavalry has been destroyed, and the lord can only hurriedly withdraw his troops to help, but the two counties of Guangling and Xiapi will definitely change hands, and the situation will deteriorate to an unimaginable point."
Jia Xu said to the generals.
Don't look at Guo Dudu's department going south, it seems to have the upper hand. However, after careful analysis, it can be found that this is the result of establishing Yi'an and firmly dragging Qingzhou soldiers and horses in Dongcai County.
Therefore, the speed of this battle must be fast.
The battle intent on the generals seemed to be a raging flame, and they were poured cold by Jia Xu's words. Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, who were basically on the verge of collapse, became an important force in reversing the situation. Once Guo Du overseers the troops come to the city, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou will inevitably break out in the case of nine deaths.
Countless events and stories have told me how terrible the mourning soldiers were.
If you can't let the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou become mourning soldiers, then the only thing you can do is to take Xuzhou City on the eve of the arrival of Guo Dudu's department.
Thoughts crossed my mind, but then a tricky feeling emerged. With only nearly 30,000 Guangling cavalry, it was difficult to take Xuzhou City, otherwise Guo Dudu would not have gone south to Langya State.
This is an unsolvable paradox.
"I wonder what the military advisor has to do?"
"Slow"
"This? ……”
Zhang Xiu and all the generals all showed puzzled looks.
Jia Xu explained to them.
After the news found out by the shadow guard, the previous strategy was overturned.
"Only when the arrow is on the string can it be a deterrent, if the arrow flies out, there is no threat"
"Please ask the general to immediately leave a letter and go to the headquarters of the governor of Guo, and let him slow down along the way. And as much as possible, the momentum will be strengthened, and the large and small cities in Langya will be attacked one by one."
The sound fell in my ears.
Zhang Xiu's brows gradually furrowed, and his puzzled expression became a little thicker. Isn't this the opposite of the strategy set by the military advisor at the beginning? Did you find something that led to a change of strategy?
"This time Guo Dudu went south to fight a surprise battle, why did he go the other way? Once the Qingzhou Emperor reacts, won't this force the overseas soldiers into a desperate situation"
"The art of war is cloudy, undefeated in oneself, and victorious in the enemy. Our army is as imposing as a rainbow, but the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City are divided into two groups. One of them is the Qingzhou soldiers, who have strong morale. The second is the Xuzhou soldiers, whose morale is low. The two are not the same forces, and if it is known that Guo Dudu is going south, there will inevitably be a gap. At that time, as long as someone instigated a little, he could seize Xuzhou without much effort. As for the news of Yi'an's division of troops, how long do you think you can hide it from the Qingzhou Emperor? ”
Jia Xu accentuated the two words Xuzhou, and here he is not talking about a city, but a whole state. Besides, Guo Dudu's division of troops could not be concealed from those who had a heart, but because the speed of transmission of the news was different, it caused a time difference and an illusion.
The generals thought along Jia Xu's words, vaguely as if they understood something, but they couldn't express that feeling in detail.
"As far as Ben will know, Qingxu and Xu are like a family, and there is a clear display in the long river of fate. When Taozhou Mu was dying, he once designated the emperor as Xuzhou Mu. Even if Guo Dudu exerted pressure vigorously, how could there be a gap between the two? ”
"How not? The scene in the long river of fate is the biggest gap"
Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu immediately woke up.
The long river of fate is clearly shown about the final belonging of Xuzhou. The fate of Taozhoumu's family is not as good as imagined. As a loser, will he be willing to go back to the same old path?
But what does this have to do with taking Xuzhou effortlessly?
Looking at Zhang Xiu's puzzled look, Jia Xu explained slowly.
"The deeds of the lord are not in fate, doesn't the general think that in fact, this is the best blade to take Xuzhou?"
"You want to rebel against Tao Qian"
Zhang Xiu suddenly let out an exclamation.
The generals were all in an uproar, and all of them showed frightened expressions.
Tao Qian is the state pastor of Xuzhou and a prince. The military advisor actually whimsically plotted against him, which is really unacceptable. Just thinking about it, there seems to be some truth. Tao Qian, who is in the midst of fate, can hand over the position of state pastor to the emperor when he is dying, so why can't he give up Xuzhou now? After all, my demon clan and him don't have an irresolvable hatred.
