Chapter 461 of the main text volume: The question of defeating the strong with the weak

Next chapter

Jia Xu and Wu Zhen were very polite to Tang Dou, and Tang Dou didn't dare to hold up in front of these two, especially in front of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is seventy-three years old, which is an absolute longevity in the Three Kingdoms period, which is rare in this troubled era.

Age is only one respectable aspect, Jia Xu's life has been full of twists and turns, and he has served Dong Zhuo, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao, all of whom are treated as masterminds, and every time Jia Xu makes a strategy, he must be ruthless, almost rebellious.

Jia Xu made plans for Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuoquan was all over the world.

Jia Xu made a plan for Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu defeated Cao Cao twice with fewer victories and more victories, almost killing Cao Cao.

If Jia Xu's several major strategies had reached the most ideal level, I am afraid that the situation of the division of the three kingdoms would have long ceased to exist.

Jia Xu can be described as a wise man in the world, and he has many plans after Cao Cao.

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's grain and grass were scarce, and he had already begun to retreat, and it was Jia Xu who advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao won and pacified the north in one fell swoop.

In the Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu believed that the people of Xindejing should be appeased, rather than mobilizing the people to immediately crusade against Jiangdong. Cao Cao didn't listen, and as a result, the Battle of Chibi was hit hard, which caused Liu Bei to become stronger, forming a three-legged trend.

Ma Chao and Han then crusaded against Cao Cao, the two armies held each other in Weinan, and Jia Xu offered a divisive plan to break up the alliance between Ma Chao and Han Sui, so that Cao Cao pacified Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

No one dared to despise Jia Xu's existence, and after the Battle of Chibi, even when Cao Cao was undecided, he had to listen to Jia Xu's opinion.

As for Wu Qian, his wisdom is by no means inferior to anyone, but Wu Zhen is not very good at being a man, and he is annoying wherever he goes, so he was named 'ugly Hou' by Cao Pi after his death, and his son Wu Ying pleaded several times, and it was not until the Zhengyuan period that he changed his name to Weihou. From this, it can be seen that Wu Zhen's personality has made Cao Pi hate something, but Cao Pi has always been appointing him, and even supervised the Hebei military during the fake festival, and it can also be seen that Wu Zhen's military command talent is still appreciated by Cao Pi.

After the three of them sat down, Jia Xu clasped his fists at Tang Dou and said, "Jincheng Hou, I don't know what advice Jincheng Hou has for calling the two of us to come." ”

Although Jia Xu's words were somewhat of relying on the old and selling the old, Tang Dou was not embarrassed, he smiled slightly and hugged his fists at the two and said: "It is indeed something to discuss with the two gentlemen today, and I also ask the two gentlemen to give advice." ”

"Jincheng Hou is polite, the old man is already in his last years, and he may soon follow the prime minister under Jiuquan, I am afraid that it will delay the major event of Jincheng Hou."

Tang Dou smiled slightly, and simply stopped talking to Jia Xu about the ink, he knew that if the ink went down, he would definitely not be the opponent of this old fox, so it was better to open the skylight directly and say something bright.

Tang Dou took out the map from his arms and spread it on several cases, and said to Jia Xu and Wu Qian: "Two gentlemen, please look at this map." ”

"What a beautiful map." Seeing the map of Tang Dou laid out on several cases, Jia Xu's dizzy old eyes lit up suddenly.

"This seems to be the whole map of Kyushu." Wu Zhen also said in surprise on the side.

There is a big difference between ancient and modern maps, and the map that Jia Xu and Wu Zhen have seen is nearly two thousand years different from the map taken out by Tang Dou, and the difference is even greater.

Compared with modern maps, the map that Jia Xu and others have seen is simply a sketch sketched casually.

Tang Dou pointed to the mountains and rivers and explained the map settings to the two, and the two quickly learned to read the map, and couldn't help but be surprised.

For the two of them, such a detailed map of mountains and rivers was unheard of and unseen.

Tang Dou saw that the two of them were already familiar with the picture, so he casually made up a reason to discuss the art of war and tactics, took out a red pen to outline the situation that Haozhou City is facing now, explained the troop allocation of the two sides in detail, and asked the two of them how to deal with it.

However, Tang Dou couldn't tell the two that this was a war that would happen in a thousand years, so he could only replace it with a word from both the enemy and the enemy.

Fortunately, the two didn't care about this, and just thought that Tang Dou was taking the test for the school, and the strategy of the two of them became relaxed.

After Jia Xu heard this, he twisted his hand and said with a smile: "Since we have predicted that the enemy's 150,000 army is about to besiege the city, why hesitate, abandoning the city can make the enemy empty." Since the enemy is attacking our Haozhou, its rear must be empty, and if I command the soldiers and horses to fight, I will definitely lead these 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou overnight, and the enemy will be taken by surprise. By the time the enemy reacted, I had plundered Xuzhou, leaving him with an empty city. This is a tired strategy, the enemy is overwhelming, avoid its edge, hit its weak underbelly, so back and forth several times, the enemy army must be miserable, then looking for fighters to divide and annihilate. ”

Wu Zhen said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe's plan is very good, but I think that it is better to take Xuzhou than to take Jingzhou, Jingzhou is densely populated, according to what Jin Chenghou just described, the enemy's 150,000 army, of which the heavy armored cavalry accounts for forty percent, and the horse infantry accounts for about sixty percent. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Otherwise, I just heard what Jin Chenghou said, and his 50,000 soldiers and armor are mainly infantry troops, and the armament is not complete. Xuzhou is rich, and taking Xuzhou can expand armaments. This battle focused on plundering, rather than conquering cities, and it was easier to take Xuzhou than Jingzhou. Even if you lose, you can hide your soldiers and horses in the deep mountains and rivers to recuperate. ”

Hearing the two arguing, Tang Dou smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "The two gentlemen misunderstood what I meant. This battle is related to the life and death of 100,000 people in Haozhou City, and the strategy of the two gentlemen, whether it is to attack Xuzhou or Jingzhou, is to abandon the city and turn to war. There were many restrictions on this battle, but the most important point was that the city of Haozhou could not be lost, and it was necessary to find a way to repel the enemy army. Do you have a good plan? ”

"Can't the city be lost? And to repel 150,000 elite soldiers with 50,000 people? Wu Zhen twisted his short beard and frowned.

Jia Xu stood up, looked down at the maps on several cases, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's difficult, it's difficult." ”

Jia Xu and Wu Zhen thought that this was just a virtual war, and there was no pressure in their hearts, but Tang Dou was different, Zhu Yuanzhang and his generals were still waiting there.

Paralyzed, if there is really no good way to break the enemy, he simply swooped to the sleeping tent of Tuhuan Timur, swept a shuttle with AK74, and then gave him two iron sweet potatoes for free, anyway, the history of the end of the Yuan Dynasty has been tampered with by himself, so he simply disposed of Emperor Yuan Shun early and it was over.

If Tuhuan Timur hangs up, the fifth encirclement and suppression he organized will naturally be self-defeating.

Tang Dou thought of the simplest solution, but he still hoped in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang could grow up independently with his proper help, which would be of great help to Zhu Yuanzhang after he ascended the throne.

Jia Xu, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped with a chuckle, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Jinchenghou, are you saying that the enemy's three-way army will not arrive in Haozhou until ten days later?" ”

Tang Dou nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Jia Xu stood in front of the map with a smile on his face: "Jin Chenghou will explain to the old man the armament and marching route of the enemy's three-way army. ”

Seeing Jia Xu's confident appearance, Tang Dou also had a smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
