Chapter 1687: The Ten-Day Covenant
"What's even more worrying is that the Qin army of Bashu is rushing home day and night to help, with no less than 100,000 people, if this is really the case, our army may be difficult to overcome. Ye Shikai sighed and slammed his fist on the sand table.
"Generals don't have to be overly anxious, and sometimes what seems like a desperate situation is often the beginning of a turnaround. Xu Jia continued to ask, "The Qin army of the two counties of Bashu is gathering here, and the general predicts how long it will take. ”
"In five days at most, the Qin army can be assembled, and 100,000 troops are stationed in this palm-sized place, which is comparable to a boulder. Ye Shikai couldn't help but complain.
"In this case, please select the elite of the 30,000 troops in five days, and in addition, select another general to be responsible for commanding the 30,000 people, and after five days, it will be time to break the enemy. Xu Jia said lightly.
"The general is telling the truth. Ye Shikai asked excitedly.
"There is no joke in the army, not to mention that I am now the military advisor of the whole army, how can I joke with the lives of 30,000 brothers, I can make a military order, and within ten days, I can make these Qin troops obediently surrender and sacrifice the pass. As soon as Xu Jia said this, all the generals present were shocked, this is 100,000 Qin troops, even if it is 100,000 steamed buns, it will take a long time, Xu Jia actually threatened to make them surrender within ten days, many people think it is "Arabian Nights".
"Master Xu, you can't talk nonsense. Ye Shikai also couldn't believe it, if it was so easy to defeat the 100,000 Qin army, wouldn't the world be able to get it by talking and laughing.
"Of course it's not nonsense, it's just that I need General Ye to lend me something. Xu Jia's words changed.
"What does Xu Junshi need, if I can do it, I will definitely help. ”
"I need these 30,000 elite talismans, and in addition, I also need General Ye to give an order, so that the general in charge of the command will completely obey my orders, no matter what the order is, it must be executed. ”
"Okay, go and call Shangguan Jian. Ye Shikai said to the guards beside him.
"Wow. ”
Half an hour later.
"Lao Ye, what's the matter with you calling me, I'm counting the wounded, there are too many brothers who have been injured in the past two days. ”
"Shangguan, I have a task to give you, you immediately transfer 30,000 elites from the whole army to form a strong force, which you are responsible for commanding, but you must obey the orders of Xu Junshi. Ye Shikai said firmly, Shangguan Jian is his absolute confidant, with outstanding ability, good at commanding, let him be in charge of command, is responsible for the 30,000 sergeants, and handing over Shangguan Jian to Xu Jia's command is the greatest trust in Xu Jia.
"Well, the last will obey. Seeing that Ye Shikai was so serious, Shangguan Jian also became serious, knelt on one knee, and took the talisman.
"Master Xu, if you have any orders, just say it directly, since General Ye asked me to obey your arrangement, I don't have a word, as long as it is your order, I will definitely go all out." ”
"The general will first organize 30,000 soldiers and horses, recuperate, and don't have to be responsible for other things, as for the task, there is no need to worry, I will inform you in five days. ”
"This ...... The last will obey. ”
"General Ye, I have one more matter, I need the general's help. ”
"Strategist, please speak. ”
"I need the general to send a capable general to be responsible for feints to attack the front camp of the Qin army, and I must work hard, but I just have to pretend to be attacking the village with all my might, and I don't have to fight each other in short arms, I can divide the troops into several teams and take turns to attack the village, the purpose is to make the Qin army tired of coping. Xu Jia explained.
"I see, well, I'll let Man Cang take charge. ”
..................................................................
Ye Shikai's trust in Xu Jia is higher than that of any general in the army, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people, especially Xu Jia's "boasting of Haikou", which makes many generals feel dissatisfied.
But Ye Shikai is already the commander of the whole army, the so-called "generals are not subject to the orders of the monarch outside", out of Linxiang City, the 200,000 Chu army is surnamed Ye Bu, the size of the order, the appointment and dismissal, all controlled by Ye Shikai alone, in order to make Xu Jia more convenient to move, unhindered, Ye Shikai even handed over the sword to him, in the army can be cut first and then played, those "red-eyed" generals also dare to be angry and dare not speak, and they are also respectful of Xu Jia.
In these five days, Mancang took the vanguard army to attack the village day and night, and each time it was less than two incense sticks to collect the troops, and after an hour, let the alternate troops attack the village, and the others were responsible for resting, so that the Qin army guarding the village was exhausted, not only physically tired, but also mentally "tired", low morale, and lazy sergeants.
The fifth day soon arrived, early in the morning, Ye Shikai came to his big camp tent, but the scene in front of him made him feel very shocked, dozens of generals gathered in his tent, and Xu Jia, sitting on one side, calmly drinking tea, even if he was stared at by dozens of pairs of vicious eyes, he was like no one around, calm and comfortable.
"Yo, the generals are up early enough, faster than I am. Ye Shikai coughed lightly and teased, and the generals dispersed, it was obvious that they came here early in the morning, not for anything else, but to "ask for advice" from Xu Jia.
"General Ye, Xu Junshi said before that five days later will be the opportunity to break the enemy, and our generals are very curious, so we specially came to ask the military advisor for advice. One of the generals sneered.
"Yes, I have long heard that Xu Junshi uses soldiers like gods, but I don't know how to arrange it. ”
"Strategist, then you can talk to us, it just so happens that I am also curious. Ye Shikai turned around and asked, frankly speaking, he has also been itching in his heart these days, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in Xu Jia's gourd.
"Since the general has said so, I won't sell it anymore. Xu Jia slowly stood up and walked in front of everyone.
"Two hours ago, I have ordered General Shangguan to lead 30,000 elite troops to attack, all the way from the waterway, all the way along the mountain road, within two days to reach the rear of the Qin army camp, now, the two counties of Bashu 100,000 Qin army all gathered in the camp, and their grain and grass camp is all 100 miles away, last time Wang Li led the army to cut off our army's grain road, resulting in General Huo's 100,000 army defeat Shu, this time, I let General Shangguan cut off the Qin army's grain road, the Qin army's guard Xu Zhi is a mediocre talent, these days the general is constantly feint to attack and disturb, they are already tired of the division, now the grain road has been cut off again, there is no reinforcement after that, he knows that it is difficult to stop our army, and when the rations in the camp are eaten, they will naturally come out and surrender. ”
