Chapter 469: Xi Zhicai's thoughts
Murong Yu's eyes slowly swept over the soldiers under Yuan Chang's command, silently calculating in his heart whether the effort could be proportional to the income.
His own strength is 20,000, and the opponent's strength is about 10,000;
All 20,000 of them are cavalry, and 10,000 of them are also cavalry, but the soldiers of their own tribe have grown up on horseback, and their physique is stronger than that of the opposing soldiers;
According to the number of troops and combat effectiveness, Murong Yu felt that his side's victory rate was 100% off the charts, and it was a complete abuse of the other party. However, the other party will look at the advantage of ambush, and deliberately run out to chat with himself and give himself time to prepare? Murong Yu doesn't feel like it, even if Liu Heyou is so stupid, Yuan Chang, who can sit on a county and get along with Yuan Shao peacefully, is definitely not this kind of person.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Murong Yu didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
If the above two points are removed, judging from the equipment of the soldiers, the equipment of Yuan Chang's soldiers is simply the eight streets of Murong Yu's soldiers.
After thinking for a moment, Murong Yu gritted his teeth hatefully, and raised his right hand violently.
Whether to fight or retreat completely depends on Murong Yu's thoughts. At such a critical moment, the eyes of everyone present were firmly fixed on Murong Yu.
"Retreat!"
In the end, Murong Yu spit out these two words with difficulty, his whole body seemed to have exhausted his strength, and his back was soaked in cold sweat for some time. At that moment just now, Murong Yu only felt as if his heartbeat was about to stop, and he almost gave the order to attack under such tremendous pressure. Thankfully, at the last moment. Murong Yu resisted the pressure and made what seemed to him an extremely wise choice.
"Liu Gongzi. Yuan Taishou, the mountains and rivers have met. We'll see you later. ”
Murong Yu gritted his teeth, arched his hand at Yuan Chang and Liu He, turned his horse and left. As for the task of postponing, he naturally handed it over to Murong Yan. As the main general, he naturally wants to return to the Chinese army, if Yuan Chang has the intention to attack and kill him with one arrow, then he is really wronged.
After the army left the endless city, Murong Yan. Bao Rang and several other cronies rode horses to Murong Yu's side.
"General, why didn't you give the order to attack?"
"Yes, General. They are obviously less powerful than us, and our warriors are stronger than them, so why retreat?"
"Those Han soldiers are weak, and they can be finished with just one back and forth. ”
"That's it!"
Murong Yu shouted lightly, and Murong Yan, Bao Rang and the others suddenly quieted down. No one dared to offend Murong Yu's majesty, since Murong Yu had made such a choice. Naturally, they will not object. It's just that as a general, as a soldier, I feel a little uncomfortable when I see that they have to retreat in the face of battle.
"General Ben naturally understands what you mean. However, they are not easy people. Murong Yu's eyes glanced at a few people lightly, and said slowly: "Just now, General Ben also wanted to order an attack. However, after thinking about it. Or decided to retreat. I know you have doubts in your minds, so General Ben will give you the reason. ”
"Since Yuan Chang and Liu He's soldiers and horses have already fought against the soldiers of several tribes in Wuyan. It stands to reason that the combat strength of the soldiers of several tribes in Wuyan is not weak, and Yuan Chang and Liu He must do their best to defeat them. However, you don't want to think about why Yuan Chang and Liu He still have a surplus of 10,000 cavalry guarding us? Then there is only one reason, that is, they think that the strength of the troops to attack the Wuyan tribes is enough, and that this 10,000 cavalry is redundant, this is one of them; and you should also find that they are deliberately guarding us there, which means that they have guessed that we will have the idea of taking advantage of the fishermen, in this case, do you think they will not have a backhand? And secondly, they are stupid to be foolish when they have laid an ambush, but they are not attacking us, but giving us time to prepare? And finally, their soldiers are clearly more than a little better equipped than our soldiers. Considering all these factors, do you think that if we go to war, we will be sure of victory?"
Murong Yu's analysis was said, which immediately made Murong Yan, Bao Rang and others speechless. After thinking about it in his heart, it seemed that what Murong Yu said was really not wrong. Thinking about it now, Yuan Chang's approach seems to be really weird, and he can't help but feel a chill in his heart. Thinking about it again, Murong Yu deserves to be the brainchild of Eastern Xianbei, and he just analyzed the other party clearly in an instant.
"The general really deserves to be the brainchild of Xianbei in our eastern region, and his intelligence is outstanding!"
"The general is clever, with the general here, why worry about the great cause!"
"It's extreme, it's extreme!"
Compared with the happiness of a few people, Murong Yu had no joy at all in his heart, but only felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't stop being shocked in his heart.
Judging from the arrangement and layout of the other party, the other party seems to have a clear grasp of their actions and thoughts, so that they have no idea at all. Murong Yu, who can be called a think tank in Xianbei in the east, is afraid that he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for the other party. With such a terrifying strategist under Yuan Chang's command, Murong Yu couldn't have the slightest idea of fighting with the other party. Why is Yuan Chang not Liu He? Joke, if Liu He had such a strategist under his command, and he still needed to ask them to help take revenge, he would have been able to solve Gongsun Zhan a long time ago. The Central Plains is worthy of being the Central Plains, and it is indeed a large number of talents, and they want to achieve great things in the eastern Xianbei, but I am afraid that it is far away!
Alas!
The bitterness in his heart naturally couldn't be told to these guys who only knew how to dance knives and guns, and after thinking about it, Murong Yu turned back to Murong Yan and said, "Murong Yan, write down Yuan Chang." Yuan Chang is definitely extraordinary, he must not be an enemy with him, and it is best if he can make friends. ”
"Uh... Yes, General!"
Although he was a little puzzled, Murong Yan still firmly wrote down what Murong Yu said, as for why, he didn't need to understand the reason, as long as he knew that Murong Yu said it.
On the other side, after Wuyan gave the order to retreat, he withdrew from the north gate of the city without looking back, and it was also thanks to their large camp that it was on the edge of the north gate, so they did not encounter many obstacles. This retreat was to flee to a place fifty miles away from the city of Endless Ending.
With a calm face, Uyan asked Uda beside him, "Uda." Go and count how many warriors in Karasuma have retreated in time. ”
Wu Yan couldn't say the word escape, it was too embarrassing. Wait until you get back to the prairie. Wu Yan didn't know how he would be ridiculed, this time the action was really stealing chickens and rice.
Uda took the order and left. It took a quarter of an hour to return, but it didn't seem to turn out very well from his face.
"The leader of the Kaiyu Uyan, according to the reports of the commanders of the various departments, there are more than 6,000 Karasuma warriors who retreated in time. The rest of the Karasuma warriors may still have a way to go, maybe... Maybe it adds up to more than 10,000. ”
Uda squeaked and whined when he spoke, lest he anger Uyan. Even if Uda is Uyan's younger brother, but, in the environment of the prairie. Uda was absolutely convinced that it was another matter if the furious Uyan didn't have his younger brother in his eyes.
"It's too much of a deception, and it's angry with me!"
Hearing that only six thousand soldiers had escaped, Wu Yan was angry. As for what Uda said, there are still soldiers who haven't rushed back, don't say that Uda doesn't believe it, Uyan doesn't even think about it. The Karasuma soldiers are all cavalry, and when they really want to escape, they turn over and run on their horses, and as for the grain and grass and the like, they don't bring these things with them when they invade the Central Plains. It is completely a war to feed the war, and to loot on the spot. The rest of the soldiers are afraid that they will stay on this land forever.
Wu Yan's heart aches when he thinks about it, this time he went to Gongsun Zhan. He brought with him 20,000 tribal warriors, which can be said to have used half of his tribe's warriors. As a result, not much benefit was reaped. But the warriors of the tribe died so many. In the steppe, where strength is respected, these 20,000 warriors are missing. Whether his right king of Beiping can continue to maintain it is another matter, and whether his life can be saved is a question. And all this is because of Liu He. There is also that Bohai County is too guarded by Yuan Chang, this revenge, he Wuyan will come back sooner or later to report it.
After being angry for a long time, Uyan finally stopped being angry, and suddenly, he seemed to remember another question.
"Wuda, what's going on with Murong Yu, why did we get attacked, he didn't send troops to support, do you know what's going on?"
Wuda saw that Wu Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and he was almost not startled, and then he heard Wu Yan's question, and his heart was happy. Fortunately, when he went to count the soldiers just now, his brain lit up, and he asked Murong Yu a question by the way, and he knew how to answer at this moment.
"Leader Wuyan, my subordinates asked just now. According to the soldiers who saw it, Murong Yu and Liu He, Yuan Chang, they talked very happily, and finally withdrew from the city without losing a single soldier. ”
After Uda finished speaking, he took a few steps back without a trace, and when Uyan roared just now, the spit fell on his face, and he felt disgusting when he thought about it.
"What?"
Uyanna's eyes, which were already wide with anger, widened as big as a bull's eye after listening to Uda's words.
"They talked very happily, and Murong Yu even withdrew from the Endless City without losing a single soldier, and he didn't even come to support us? It's really hateful! Let's just say that Liu He and that thief dare to do something to us, it turns out that Murong Yu's thief has a premeditated plan with them, and he is angry with me. Murong Yu is a villain, this king will never let him go. After he returns, this king will definitely straighten out the soldiers and horses, so that Murong Yu's thief knows how powerful this king is!"
For Uyan's words, Uda felt a wave of disdain in his heart.
Murong Yu represents the entire Eastern Xianbei, but not just Murong Yu alone. The combined strength of the three kings of Karasuma may be stronger than that of the Eastern Xianbei, but if the strength of a single Right Beiping King goes to confront the Eastern Xianbei, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting the stone, and Wu Yan is saying this now, but he is doing useless work, just talk about it, no one will believe it. It's ridiculous that people don't take the opportunity to find trouble with you, and they still want to find trouble with others!
……
Within Xuzhou
However, it was said that Mi Zhu gave Tao Qian a plan to resist Cao Cao that day, that is, he waited for Cao Cao to retreat when his food was exhausted. If you want to attack Xiapi City, you must pass through Pei County. Therefore, Mi Zhu suggested that Tao Qian send troops to garrison Pei County, and at the same time set up 10,000 soldiers to guard the Ershi Mountain near Pei County.
There are 100,000 Xuzhou soldiers led by Cao Bao in Pei County, plus 20,000 Dangyang elite soldiers, which can be said to be impregnable. And Ershi Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it seems that Cao Cao has no other way than to withdraw his troops?
In the camp of the Cao army
"Zhicai, do you have a good plan for capturing Pei County?"
At this time, there were only two people in Cao Cao's camp tent, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, most of Cao Cao's commands were military generals, and there were not many strategists who could give advice for attacking the city, and most of them were strategists who governed the country and the country. Such as Xun Yu, full of favors, etc., the governance side can be, but the strategy of conquering the city will not work. Of course, Xun You and Cheng Yu's intelligence is also good, but it's a pity that the two are now helping Cao Cao stick to his hometown in Yanzhou, and now only Xi Zhi can plan for Cao Cao.
"Haha, the lord has already made up his mind for a long time, so why do you need to ask Yu Zhong. Xi Zhicai replied with a smile, a flush suddenly flashed on his face, and he hurriedly stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth.
"Ahem!"
"Zhicai, are you okay?" Cao Cao saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.
"There is the concern of the lord of labor, loyalty is an old disease, and a little time is good. Xi Zhicai wiped his mouth lightly, and inadvertently withdrew his right hand, as if he was fine.
"The soldiers are all mediocre, and they have not been cured of your old illness for so long. Cao Cao's face was indignant, and there was no falsehood at all, which shows the importance he attaches to Xi Zhicai.
"It's no wonder Lang Zhong!"
Xi Zhicai said softly, and then his face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "The lord is a great talent, don't blame others for this trivial matter, the lord will achieve great things in the future, he should have a tolerant heart, and I hope the lord can keep it in mind." ”
"What Zhicai said is very true, and Cao must be remembered in his heart. ”
After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao also had a straight face, but Cao Cao was a little weird in his heart, how did Xi Zhicai say this sentence for no reason, which made him feel a little ominous.
"Lord, if you want to take Pei County, you should take Ershi Mountain as the leader. If you take Ershi Mountain, you can send a general to lead an elite army to bypass and attack the rear of Pei County, and then send another general to attack the city. ”
"Haha, what Zhicai said coincides with what he thinks in his heart. In this case, Cao did what Zhicai said. ”
Cao Cao is known as a politician, a military strategist, a poet and other titles, but it is not in vain. Cao Cao relied on his experience in the march to write the New Book of Mengde, which is similar to The Art of War, but in fact it is two different books. Zhang Song just deceived Cao Cao because he had the ability to never forget, making Cao Cao mistakenly think that he had copied other people's art of war. Otherwise, "Mengde's New Book" will inevitably be circulated in the world.
After discussing with Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai gave a salute and left Cao Cao's tent. After walking out of Cao Cao's tent, Xi Zhi opened his right hand, and the red blood on his palm was extremely dazzling under the illumination of his eyes.
"The lord rest assured, loyalty will definitely help the lord to complete the great cause. Even if he can't, he will find a suitable military advisor for the lord. (To be continued.) )
