Chapter 277(1/2)
The Dong army had 19 infantry troops, totaling 60,800 people; six normal cavalry troops with 19,200 people; and a strengthening army: the Feixiong Army with 5,000 people, totaling 85,000 people.
The coalition of princes had about 130,000 infantry and 35,000 cavalry. A total of about 165,000 were.
"What if the rebels are twice as good as me?" Dong Zhuo looked around the generals and asked with concern in the meeting hall.
Li Su went up to pay his respects and said, "Bao Zhong was an old official of the Yuan family. In April, he asked Sun Jian for troops to avenge Yuan Wei. He was rejected by Jian. The lonely army was defeated by the commander of Hua. Zhong himself died in front of the battle. Zhong's death was inseparable from Sun Jian. Now the leader of the alliance is Yuan Shao, responsible for the distribution of military rations with sour jujubes and Yuan Shu. When these two Yuan heard that Sun Jian did not send troops to avenge his family, he would inevitably be annoyed Jian secretly. I thought, if I had done a counter-attack plan, I secretly said that Sun Jian was afraid of the Yuan family and was willing to be independent. If this plan was successful, the two Yuan would definitely be afraid of Sun Jian and secretly dragged him back. Even if Sun Jian had a different talent, he might not be able to win."
Sun Jian was indeed one of the few people in the world who were concerned about the Xiliang army. This plan immediately attracted a lot of praise. Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "As the military advisor said." He paused and asked again: "I just don't know what countermeasures the military advisor can do to the 170,000 army outside Hulao Pass?"
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "The leader of the coalition forces, Yuan Shao, has decided to advance westward. As long as we are in charge of Hulao, we can gain a place to avoid the princes' army outside the pass. In addition, the 170,000 army consumed hundreds of thousands of yuan a day, and they were all supported by Yecheng, Jizhou. However, although Jizhou is rich, its food and grass reserves are limited. In my opinion, it will take half a year to reach a long time, and a year to reach a long time, and the food and grass will be exhausted. At that time, the coalition forces of the princes will disperse." Li Su is worthy of being a special adviser at the end of the Han Dynasty, and his grasp of the situation is unique.
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up: "As the military advisor said, the army spends a thousand gold a day and feeds thousands of miles a day. It will not last long!"
"Prime Minister!" Another person transferred out of the train and said, "Every word that the military advisor said was metal and stone, and the enemy's shortcomings were exposed. However, one thing I wanted to add was that in my opinion, Yuan Benchu's desire to advance westward may not be as solid as a rock!"
"Oh?!" Even though he had prejudice against this person, Li Su became a little interested in what he said.
Dong Zhuo said: "Tell me!"
The man said, "Yuan Shao was the concubine son of Yuan Feng. One month after his birth, his father died. When he was young, he liked a wanderer and ignored his superiors' orders. He also raised guests inside. Yuan Wei was not happy and repeatedly blamed Shao for saying that you would destroy my wealth. From this, it can be seen that Shao was not favored by Yuan.
After Yuan Wei died, it was said that Shao was filial. After crying for three days, he went to the front line to supervise the battle alone. But I would like to ask. In March, Yuan's family destroyed the clan. If Yuan Shao had done his best to take revenge, why did the 10,000 soldiers from the high-ranking officials not arrive at the front line until May? Why didn't the general Yan Liang and Wen Chou come to the land? Why was there no movement even if the coalition forces were twice as many as us?"
The hall is quiet enough to land. Only when the person standing in the center of the hall is getting more excited: "I have to cry for three days to express my feelings. Just use chili water to drop my eyes. But only when it is related to the interests, it is the time that best reflects a person's inner heart. The fact that there are more soldiers guarding the Bohai Sea than soldiers advancing westward is enough to know where Shaoxin is leaning towards!"
Instead of analyzing war from a strategic and tactical perspective, he turned the finger to the hearts of the people and had such a thorough psychological analysis of the enemy. For such a standard strategist, Wan Wei couldn't help but curiously said: "Who is he? His ability to understand human nature is as good as Le Qiu!"
Lu Bu turned around and replied, "This person's surname is Jia, his name is Xu, his courtesy name is Wenhe, and his name is Wenhe. He is now a captain of the anti-capital army. He is a strategist under Niu Fu!"
"Sheep!" Wan Wei almost cried out.
"What's wrong?" Lu Bu asked when he heard Wan Wei's tone was different.
Wan Wei quickly stabilized his emotions and asked without answering, "Brother, how is this sheep living under Niu Fu's hands? Is there any way to dig him over?"
Lu Bu Fang Dai replied, Li Su had already spoken, so he had to whisper: "I'll talk after I go home now," he turned around and heard Li Su provocatively: "As far as you see, Yuan Shao won't go west?"
Yang shook his head and said, "I just said that Yuan Bohai was not strong in advancing west, and never said that he would not send troops."
Li Susai said: "Then what else to say to do!"
"If Yuan Shao thought he could repel the Prime Minister at a affordable price, then he would send troops." Yang was not angry about Li Su's sarcasm, and his voice was still so stable: "What Yuan Shao is concerned about now is the Feixiong Army under Duting Hou! The reason why Zhang Yang dared to challenge our army head-on was because Zhang Yang had 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry under his command, and thought that relying on Bingzhou cavalry could rely on the assault power of the Xiliang army. As a result, the world-famous Bingzhou cavalry was the Feixiong Army of Duting Hou Feixiong Army. As a result, the world-famous Bingzhou cavalry was the Feixiong Army of Duting Hou. As a result, the world-famous Bingzhou cavalry was the Feixiong Army of Duting Hou.
The defeat was shocked. This time the princes sent troops again. Although the total number of troops was huge, the maximum was 20,000. Although the Feixiong Army could not solve all the enemy troops, the advantage against them was still very obvious! Therefore, for their own interests, no one wanted to bring the army to the ground to suffer a devastating blow on the battlefield and affect their own power. Therefore, my subordinates speculated that unless Yuan Shao was sure to restrain the Feixiong Army, he would not send troops in large numbers!"
"Just!" Li Su sneered: "The Feixiong Army is an elite selected from the 80,000 people, and the Duting Hou is brave and unparalleled in the world. How can a pig or dog outside the pass be able to compete with it!"
Yang made a series of Lu Bu and said, "The Feixiong Army led by Duting Hou is indeed the elite of the world, but Yuan Benchu might expect another person to be the opponent of the Fei General."
"Oh? Although Sun Jian is brave, most of his soldiers are new recruits and cannot be compared with the Feixiong Army. But in terms of military generals, is there anyone in the world who can fight against my son besides Sun Wentai?" Dong Zhuo was quite surprised when he heard this.
"The elite cavalry in the world, in addition to Xiliang and Bingzhou, there are also Youzhou knights. Among them, Gongsun Zan, a white horse holding a double-headed jujube wood spear, is the most famous. His elite cavalry is called 3,000 White Horse Yi. He once defeated Zhang Chun of Yuyang and fought against Hu cavalry outside the frontier for five years. The leader Wuhuan, the leader of Hu, dared to draw a picture of Zan and shot it out. He used the princes outside the pass to control him, and perhaps Gongsun Bo could defeat Duting Hou." Yang pointed his fingers from the north: "Now, only the northernmost princes outside the pass, Gongsun Zan, is far from here. Therefore, I speculate that the coalition forces are also waiting for Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi to arrive."
Lu Bu groaned, and for the sake of Yang's previous episode, he did not reply.
Li Su refused and said, "According to Wenhe's opinion, if Gongsun Zan could defeat Feixiong's army, Shao would have to advance westward, otherwise he would not be able to withdraw his troops?"
"Yes!" Yang cut off the railway line: "The key to the battle between the two armies is between the Feixiong Army and the Baima Yicong!"
Unexpectedly, the sheep was so sure. Li Su said for a while: "Nonsense! How could the two sides determine the final result only by looking at the battle between people and places!"
Yang stopped replying because he saw Dong Zhuo and fell into deep thought after hearing this.
After a while, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Wen He's words are unique and may not be accurate. However, the princes outside the pass may not be willing to sacrifice their own interests and fight hard with our army. I will be the first to be my son!"
"My son is here!"
"In order to prevent occasional small-scale attacks, the Feixiong Army, whom you are now commanding, is always ready for war. Once you receive the order to attack, you must be able to assemble and attack within one hour!"
"Abide by the order!"
With the issuance of this order, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dong Zhuo had actually believed what Yang said. The order of Feixiong Army to prepare for war was aimed at Baima Yicong.
Hearing Yang described Gongsun Zan as such a powerful person, out of the warlike style of a general, Lu Bu seemed extremely excited after returning home. He just hoped that the other party would not disappoint him. After all, there were very few people in the world who could be Lu Bu's opponents.
Wan Wei asked after returning home, "Brother, can we dig him up for that sheep?" Obviously, his interest in this matter was much greater than going to the battlefield.
Lu Bu patted Wan Wei on the shoulder and asked, "Even if the second brother can take the sheep under his command, would he want to tell him about our anti-Dong?"
Wan Wei was about to say of course, but found that he couldn't make a sound. He was not playing games now, and he had loyalty to check. If he was low, he could reward money or give beauty. Seeing Yang trying his best to show his attitude to Dong Zhuo in the meeting hall. Wan Wei was not so naive that he thought Yang would say gratefully when he knew his and Lu Bu's purpose: He would like to contribute his meager strength to the people of the world. Or his lord was very kind and righteous, and he would like to hold a whip to control his dreams.
But if you don't tell the sheep about this, then...
"So, what's the use of asking him to come? Increase the chance of secret exposure!" Lu Bu's words made Wan Wei silent again.
Sheep are different from Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao belongs to the military general system, and can completely rely on strict and iron-blooded military disciplines to restrain his actions in the army. Moreover, there is always a practice in the army to accept orders and ignore them. As soon as the time comes, Lu Bu will order him, Zhang Liao will naturally follow it. But Yang, a high IQ staff member, needs a high degree of freedom to let him play his talents. His role is to give advice to his superiors when he has questions, and perhaps convey orders to his subordinates. If he is given an order that absolutely obeys the instructions of his superiors, then what is the difference between him and an ordinary errand runner?
But...but...the intelligence is 98 in the Three Kingdoms 10!!
Wan Wei was really unwilling to let go of this top-notch strategist among the Three Kingdoms. Back in his room, Wan Wei thought about it, and finally slapped his forehead: "I am fascinated by the name of the sheep. I don't even understand the most basic situation, so what are the goals I'm talking about! A correct judgment can only be based on correct intelligence and analysis."
When it comes to intelligence ability, Le Qiu is naturally the best choice.
During the three days, Le Guanghao only asked Wan Wei one question: "The lord wants to know the information about Yang?" Wan Wei's answer was: "Look at the relationship between him and his superiors and colleagues. It would be better if he could understand his personal personality and preferences." On the fourth day, Le Qiu handed Wan Wei a thin piece of cloth, with only a few words on it.
"That's just a little bit?" Wan Wei was a little disappointed and angry.
Le Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "This is what my subordinates summarized based on the information they received. If the lord wants to see the original information, please go to the back room immediately to move in."
"Move? How many are there?"
"Eighty-five jin." In ancient times, bamboo slips basically used weight as the counting unit.
"Haha." Wan Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "It's good, it's just right for you to exercise your body."
Understanding that Wan Wei was joking, Le Qiu said seriously: "How dare I use such a useful thing? I am willing to share it with the lord."
"Go away!" Wan Wei laughed and scolded, "You can cut so many bamboos in three days." While speaking, he looked at the cloth: Xu's name is Wenhe, a native of Wuwei. He is now a lieutenant of the captive army and is a strategist under Niu Fu. He is close to him and is very capable of following his plan. Only Li Su was very jealous of his talents and made many difficulties. He liked ancient currency and often played with it. He was a man of others: he harmed others for selfishness, and could be rich and noble, but not with joy and suffering.
Wan Wei's face changed a few times. Niu Fu, Yang's official career was a predecessor. After Fu died, he persuaded Li Guosi to gather troops to attack Chang'an. Later, he designed to let the two attack each other. He abandoned his official position and surrendered to another subordinate of Dong Zhuo, and Duan Wei, the prefect of Huayin in the same county. Wei was afraid that Xu would seize his foundation and was very afraid of him. Yang then became Zhang Xiu. Later, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao went to recruit Zhang Xiu at the same time. Yang saw that Yuan Shao was strong and the middle-aged, so he encouraged Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao. It can be said that apart from the idea of being loyal to the monarch in feudal society, his career was a modern experience of changing jobs: as long as there were better salary and better development potential in other places, he would jump without hesitation, I jump, I jump again... If Cao Cao was not really a big tree, who would know if she would jump to another place.
But this was what Wan Wei learned from known history and only reacted with Le Qiu's reminder. So, where could Le Qiu draw this conclusion? Wan Wei asked curiously: "In this way, the relationship with the surrounding areas can be considered good. But where did you get his comments?"
Seeing Wan Wei talking about the serious matter, Le Qiu also put away his smile and said in a stern manner: "This is not a concoct from the thine." Slowly, he said the information he collected step by step and clearly, which was mixed with his insights about this information. There was a story about Yang Qiao's grandson of the wealthy Duan clan who escaped from the disaster. Le Qiu's words were even more pointed: "I took my own property and left with the thief's gift, and in order to keep it confidential, dozens of people in the same place were killed. This kind of behavior of selling people to make profits will not be done even when I was a businessman."
"Is there no way to bring the sheep under my command so that it will be willing to use it for me?" Wan Wei was refuted by Le Qiu's words and could only sigh.
"Yes!" Le Qiu said, "If Yang felt that the power of the lord could bring him. Well, or the power of the lord could bring him enough power and wealth with his help, I think he would be happy to give up Dong Zhuo Niu Fu and surrender to the lord's command."
But Wan Wei obviously did not have this condition.
That's a sheep! Wan Wei thought to himself that there are only a dozen people of him in the Three Kingdoms 10, and each one is a famous historical minister who can come up with a rough ability when you see a name. Only such a person can finally meet one, how can he let it go!
Suddenly, a novel idea emerged in Wan Wei's mind: he did not like the person sheep, but valued the talents possessed by the person named Sheep!
Looking up, seeing Le Qiu standing beside him with tactful words, Wan Wei suddenly laughed relievedly: "There is sheep. I have Le Guanghao. It is enough to fight each other!"
"Enemesis?" As if to prove Wan Wei's evaluation of Le Qiu, the latter immediately found a strange thing in Wan Wei: "Who are both Dong Jiachen. How can they be enemies?"
Wan Wei's smile condensed: Damn, I accidentally let it go. Looking at Le Qiu's puzzled expression, Wan Wei made the decision to tell him everything in a short time.
"Okay, don't doubt people, don't doubt people! I'll tell you my highest secret!" This is Wan Wei's reason for being high-sounding. In fact, Le Qiu snatched Zhang Ji's wife, and Zhang Ji is a famous violent member in Dong Jun. Even if Le Qiu wants to betray Wan Wei or Lu Bu, as long as he leaves his protection area, Zhang Ji will probably beat him up before he speaks.
Therefore, Wan Wei is sure of where Le Qiu is going.
First, I was so moved by the words "No doubts" and "No doubts" that I didn't have to be moved, and then I was shocked by the story of Lu Bu and Wan Wei (of course, that version is not completely true).
Wan Wei is now slowly tasting tea, staring at Le Qiu's reaction.
"I think that what Yang said in the meeting room three days ago was inconsistent with me." Le Qiu expressed his choice with this most realistic situation: "With Yuan Shao's family background and status, he would not be willing to stay at the bottom of others. Therefore, if I am Yuan Shao, there are two choices. If I can maintain my own power, Yu eliminates Dong Zhuo and protect the emperor. If the leader of the rebellion takes over as the prime minister, the prime minister's court will be the best. If there is no certainty of victory, the current situation is to respect the Liu family as the king, and naturally he can rule the world. No matter which choice, it is all based on Yuan Shao's preservation power. Therefore, in order to avoid the situation of being a head-on enemy with the Duting Hou Feixiong Army, there must be another place that can restrain the existence of the Feixiong Army. Gongsun Zan and his white horse Yicong are indeed the best choice for victims."
After a pause, Le Qiu said again: "Since the lord wants to lead the princes into the pass, this time it is a good opportunity. As long as he is defeated by Gongsun Zan, the princes' army will definitely send troops."
"I'll tell my elder brother now." Wan Wei got up and was about to leave.
"Lord, don't be anxious. There are a few things to pay attention to in this matter." Le Qiu said hurriedly.
"oh?"
"General Lu's martial arts are unparalleled even if he is a villain in the market. How could Dong Zhuo not know General Lu's background?" Le Qiu stretched out three fingers and said one by one: "There are undoubtedly three situations against the white horse Gongsun Zan. First, General Lu's martial arts are indeed not as good as Gongsun Zan, and the combat power of the Feixiong Army is not as good as that of Baima Yicong. This situation is most beneficial to the development of the situation and cannot be doubted by Dong Zhuo. Second, the two generals and the two armies have advantages. Whether the general wins but weak soldiers, or the general is strong but defeats, or both are evenly matched. At this time, I hope General Lu can find a battlefield with a tense and suppressed battle.
One or two are not obvious, but it is an event that is a key role in the battle. As long as General Lu has good acting skills and abandons the fight for these key events through Dong Zhuo's eyes, the Feixiong Army will be defeated at a weak disadvantage. In this way, Dong Zhuo will not have too many doubts. Third, General Lu has an absolute advantage in any aspect, and there is no possibility of retreating in the battle with the White Horse Gongsun. In this way, things are more difficult. At present, subordinates have thought of a way to make our army pretend to retreat, so Dong Zhuo will not immediately doubt General Lu. However, this plan is not a complete plan. There are some side effects."
Le Qiu looked at Wan Wei hesitantly, but did not express his plan.
"Very good, very good. I can analyze this matter so comprehensively in such a short time and come up with countermeasures in turn. With this alone, I will not regret it. I will include you in the decision of the top leaders in the inner circle." As long as I can motivate my subordinates, Wan Wei will not be stingy with a few words of praise.
Looking at Le Qiu's expression, it means that the effect of these words is indeed good.
"No need to worry about anything, there are not many things in the world that can satisfy everyone." Wan Wei roughly guessed who Le Qiu had made up for.
Sure enough, after Wan Wei expressed his opinion, Le Qiu said with a serious expression: "If you encounter the third situation, it will be extremely difficult to make General Lu defeat his opponent without any trace. His subordinates are distracted and have not been able to come up with any method. So, he had to start from another place."
Wan Wei nodded: If there is no door, climbing the window is a good way to enter the house.
"My subordinates think that if General Lu wins, can create another situation, which forces General Lu to give up his immediate interests and make an order to retreat. Moreover, even if Dong Zhuo is angry, he can only accept the defeat, but will not doubt General Lu's loyalty. For example... When the two armies are fighting, the enemy's traces suddenly found in the rear. In this way, it is reasonable for General Lu to order the retreat!"
"This is indeed a legitimate excuse for the elder brother to withdraw his troops. But how can you ensure that the enemy soldiers will appear behind our army, and the time for the occurrence must be appropriate. It cannot be early or late." Wan Wei never considered the probability of the first two situations, so he was more interested in the solution to the third situation that Le Qiu thought of.
Le Qiu closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, in advance, we can ask our confidants to be mixed with the scout cavalry, tie the cloth with the military map of Dong's army to the arrow and shoot it into the joint camp. I hope that the other party can take advantage of the opportunity of the White Horse Yicheng's battle with the Feixiong Army to send elite troops around the Dong's position and cooperate with the White Horse Yicheng to attack the Feixiong Army. Of course, we can increase the scout in advance, specifically explore the positions where the other party may appear, and leave the battlefield before the other party forms an encirclement."
"But if the other party doubts about the military map and thinks it is Dong Zhuo's plan to lure troops, so he keeps his troops in case. What should he do?" After a pause, Wan Wei added: "According to Yuan Shao's easy-to-make unstoppable personality, this possibility seems to be greater."
To be continued...
