Chapter 254: War
Yuan Shao stood up, pretending to be polite, and was finally promoted as the leader of the alliance by the princes from all walks of life.
At this moment, he was also in high spirits, remembering that Lin Yang had robbed him of the position of alliance leader, he had an inexplicable anger in his heart, this time he could finally settle accounts with Lin Yang!
Next, it was to discuss the matter of marching, and all the princes looked at Cao Cao, which was a habitual idea.
Cao Cao smiled on his dark face and said with a smile: "Lin Yang has a total of more than 200,000 Youzhou Army, Xiliang Army, and Bingzhou Army, and tens of thousands of soldiers in Jizhou and Montenegro, a total of 300,000 troops. Among them, the Youzhou Army, the Xiliang Army, and the Bingzhou Army are all elite in a hundred battles, and the surrender of Jizhou and Montenegro is not a cause for concern. ”
Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Lin Yang's army, although the total number is a little more than the original Dong Zhuo, but in terms of combat power, it is only between the best. And we will wait for an army of 600,000 to defeat Lin Yang, like digging for things! ”
These words were in high spirits, and the princes from all walks of life also nodded, which was reasonable.
Cao Cao said: "What I said at the beginning is extremely true, and the only person who can be worried is Lin Yang himself!" When the two armies are fighting, the number of troops and the strength of the combat force are of course important, but the ability of the commander is also extremely important. ”
After a pause, seeing that all the princes were looking at him, one by one thoughtfully, Cao Cao continued to analyze: "At this point, Lin Yang is far superior to Dong Zhuo. Compared with Dong Zhuo, who is greedy for pleasure and has lost his ambition, Lin Yang is young and vigorous, famous, and good at surprise soldiers, far more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo! ”
Sun Jian said: "Meng De is reasonable. "I think he supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance at the beginning, but in the end he was made the leader of the alliance by Lin Yang, this Lin League leader can ignore the past suspicions, entrust him with important tasks, and let him make a lot of achievements, and he also remembers it in his heart. Secretly admired.
Cao Cao praised the old alliance leader in the past, and Yuan Shao, the new alliance leader, was a little unhappy, and said: "Then Meng De thinks that Lin Yang can still turn the sky in the face of our 600,000 army?" ”
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Our army has 600,000 troops. The front of the army can swallow the world! But there is an Achilles' heel, which is the lack of cavalry! ”
Yuan Shao was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "That's right, our army lacks nothing, but it lacks cavalry." ”
Cao Cao said again: "Lin Yang is not as good as Dong Zhuo, if he uses soldiers, it is very likely that he will use a small number of elites to defend the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass." Then with the elite cavalry flank, attack our foundation! ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the princes changed, and it was about their nest and foundation!
Yuan Shao's face changed, and he exclaimed: "How is this good?" ”
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was a little out of shape, smiled secretly, his face was impassive, and said, "This is also easy to do!" Ordered the scout to send a message to the rear. All close the city and defend it firmly! Lin Yangruo divided his troops to attack and harass our rear. It's a great opportunity for us! ”
Cao Cao paused, raised a confident smile on his dark face, and said loudly: "No matter how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way!" If Lin Yang divides his troops, the troops of the Tiger Prison and Bishui will be relatively weak. It's a good time for me to wait for Lin Yang to be leveled in one fell swoop! ”
The princes from all walks of life nodded one after another, their words were reasonable, and they all looked at Cao Cao with some surprise, this Cao Mengde was really a wise person.
Then. Cao Cao looked at a young strategist behind him and smiled, speaking of which, Cao Cao could think of Lin Yang's combat methods, thanks to the young strategist behind him.
This Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, is the first strategist under his command, and previously joined forces with Yuan Shao to break the remnants of the Yellow Turban on the Five Roads in Qing and Yan Prefectures, and won more than 200,000 soldiers, and this strategist has made great contributions.
It's just that neither of them thought that the direction of the war would be completely different from what they expected.
……
……
Lin Yang and Zhao Yun led 10,000 elite cavalry, came out of the division, and directly killed Yuzhou.
All the cities in Yuzhou are closed and cannot be defended.
In this case, even if you change the most powerful generals, there is no way, after all, 10,000 elite cavalry, no matter how elite they are, they are only cavalry, and they can't fly! Naturally, you can't enter the city.
If it is a strong attack, it will inevitably kill and wound a lot, and at most it will be able to attack a few cities, and the troops will be consumed very little, and it will not have any impact on the princes of all walks of life.
But Lin Yang has a way!
Taking advantage of the darkness, he left the army alone, came to the city, and carried light work, and entered the city silently. His sad breeze had been almost used in the last attack on Bishui Pass and Luoyang City, and this time he could only do it himself.
The sorrowful breeze is also an extremely difficult thing to refine, if it can be mass-produced, Xixia would have unified the world long ago!
Without the sorrowful breeze, Lin Yang could only touch the city gate, open the killing ring, and the four-foot green front passed by, and the soldiers defending the city fell in pieces.
With Lin Yang's current martial arts, although he can't fight tens of thousands of troops head-on, he can fight with his life, and he can also fight against tens of thousands, and there are not many soldiers guarding the city here.
There were only a few thousand defenders in the city, and each gate was only a thousand.
Lin Yang opened the city gate and opened the city gate, and when Zhao Yun saw the movement of the city gate, he knew that the lord had succeeded, and led the army commander to drive straight in!
Although Zhao Yun didn't know how this lord entered the city and how he opened the city gate, he had long been accustomed to the mystery of this lord.
10,000 elite cavalry entered the city, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, it only took two or three hours to completely pacify the city.
Next, Lin Yang found the granary in the city, distributed some of the grain in it to the people in the city, and by the way, publicized his reputation as Prime Minister Lin, and the rest of the grain and grass were directly burned!
The purpose of his trip was to cut off the grain and grass of the princes of the Eighteen Roads!
After attacking this city, the army rested for half a day, and then rushed to the next city without stopping.
Lin Yang is still the old way, capture the city gate, Zhao Yun just led the army commander to drive in, and then it was to distribute the grain and burn the grain!
This guerrilla war lasted for more than two months.
In addition to Yangzhou, which is relatively far away, the rest of the four prefectures of Henan, Xu, Yan, and Qingdao, but all the important cities have been patronized by Lin Yang, and the reputation of Prime Minister Lin has also spread among the people.
Even the people in the city are waiting for the arrival of Prime Minister Lin's "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" to distribute food to them!
When the news reached the princes of the Eighteenth Road, the princes from all walks of life, who were constantly attacking the Tiger Prison and Bishui Pass, were shocked, and the grain and grass were cut off, and they still farted?
At the same time.
The Tiger Prison closed a mysterious person who met with Lu Bu in private, and this person was none other than Situ Wang Yun.
Wang Yun had no other purpose, just to instigate Lu Bu to rebel against Lin Yang, and to defect!
After a battle of words, Wang Yun, who was struggling with his lips, looked at Lu Bu, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, and seemed to have made a decision, with a smile on his face. (To be continued......) R1292
