Chapter 236: Liu Zhan's Response
Liu Zhan ran out of ideas for a while, so he asked Shi A to quickly find Xun You and Xi Zhicai to discuss countermeasures.
Shi Ah arched his hand and quickly floated out, like a galloping rabbit, and arrived outside Tingyuxuan in three or two clicks......
After about half a burnt incense, Xun You and Xi Zhicai arrived in a hurry.
Xun You and Xi Zhicai entered Liu Zhan's study, both with serious faces, and were about to bow to Liu Zhan, only to see Liu Zhan quickly wave his hand to the two: "Quick, sit down and say, there is an urgent military situation!" ”
Xun You and Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Zhan with a anxious look, and they all gathered their long sleeves and sat down quickly.
Liu Zhan looked at the two of them and said directly: "According to the report from the scout in front, Yuan Shao led more than 200,000 soldiers from all walks of life to Yingchuan, and it is only more than 100 miles away from Yingchuan at the moment. This matter is urgent, Gongda, Zhicai, what do you say, how should we deal with it? ”
Xun You and Xi Zhicai were both shocked, they didn't expect that the alliance of the princes was about to be disbanded, and it was resurrected. Neither of them immediately answered Liu Zhan's question, but frowned and lowered their heads in a deep groan......
After a while, Xi Zhi smiled: "Lord, all the princes have their own ghosts, it won't be successful, and now they are marching into Yingchuan, and eighty percent of them know that there are only 10,000 defenders in Yingchuan." ”
Liu Zhan nodded and didn't say anything, but Xun You, who was sitting next to Xi Zhicai, looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "No matter what they are pointing at Yingchuan, what matters now is whether Yingchuan can hold it." After speaking, he arched his hand towards Liu Zhan and said: "My lord, I think that when Yingchuan is quickly increased, it will be struck a sudden blow from its rear, just like this attack on the camp of the princes and allies, and they will retreat without a fight." ”
"Well, Gongda has a point. However, at this time, will it be too late to increase the troops? You must know that Luoyang is hundreds of miles away, and the allied forces have drawn closer to the boundary of Yingchuan. ”
Liu Zhan nodded, and at the same time raised his own concerns.
"Maybe it will be a day or two late, but if you don't increase the troops, Yingchuan will be in danger. Lord, Yingchuan is the foundation of the lord, if there is a mistake, the loss is heavy. Xun Yu stood up with his hands over.
"Well, that's the same thing." Liu Zhan couldn't stop nodding and thinking, and after a while, I saw him sigh slightly, and laughed at himself, "It's a bit too big, I thought that the so-called allies would be defeated and retreat, but I really didn't expect them to pounce again, and they did it so secretively." If I had gotten the news a few days earlier, I would have been so passive. ”
"Lord, for the sake of today's plan, I should order the Flying Feather Cavalry to travel day and night, attack the allies from the rear first, and now go out of the Flying Tiger Camp in Luoyang to rescue Yingchuan."
Xun You said with a serious face.
When the words fell, Xi Zhicai, who had not spoken, smiled, stroked his somewhat sparse beard, and said confidently: "Don't worry, the lord, Yingchuan will not be in danger." ”
Liu Zhan's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? Why did Zhicai say this, could it be that he already had a strategy to break the enemy? Tell me about it. ”
"Huh...... Has the lord forgotten who is in Yingchuan? ”
"Xun Xiang?"
"No, no!" Xi Zhicai couldn't stop shaking his head.
Xun Yu on the side didn't understand where Xi Zhicai's confidence came from, and he also looked at Xi Zhicai with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, Liu Zhan slapped his thigh violently and laughed: "Oops-I actually forgot about Fengxiao, haha...... There is filial piety in Yingchuan, plus Xun Xiang, forgive those so-called princes who can't make any waves. ”
After Liu Zhan finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "However, 10,000 people is indeed too little, can Feng Xiao repel more than 200,000 people with 10,000 people?" ”
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Although the lord is assured, he acts in filial piety, and there is no negligence, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Liu Zhan nodded again, and the worry on his face eased a lot.
As soon as Xi Zhicai's voice fell, Xun You didn't understand, he didn't understand, what kind of magic power does a Guo Jia have, he is so valued by the lord, even Xi Zhicai, who has always been above the top, also admired him, is this Guo Jiazhi's ability still above Xun Xiang?
Thinking like this, Xun You couldn't help but ask: "Zhicai, Feng Xiao can really repel an army of 200,000, is it really not necessary to rescue Yingchuan?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Gongda, I have made friends with Fengxiao and even Fengxiao, and I know him very well, and his ability is still above the two of us. However, the rescue still needs to be rescued. ”
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said. After Xi Zhicai defected to Liu Zhan, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to introduce his friend Guo Jia to Liu Zhan, but he never thought that when he returned to Yingchuan, Liu Zhan had already placed Guo Jia properly.
"I also know this Guo Jia, but I don't see anything outstanding about him, he can really ......"
Xun You is still not at ease, he feels that he can't pin the safety of a country on one person, in case something goes wrong, the consequences are quite serious.
"Guo Jia is low-key, he doesn't like to be exposed in front of others, and he comes from a poor background, less than the children of the family, Brother Gongda doesn't know his excellence, it's normal."
The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth hung a trace of arc, and he said slowly.
"Oh, that's right...... I hope Feng Xiao can have a good plan to break the enemy. Seeing that Xi Zhicai admired Guo Jia so much, Xun You didn't want to say anything, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, and said, "Since you want to rescue, how do you think Zhicai wants to rescue?" ”
Liu Zhan looked at the two strategists, you said everything I said, and he said it very seriously, and he didn't bother, just sat there and listened quietly.
"I have a slight difference from what Gongda has seen, I think that I only need to send Feiyu to harass the princes and allies in the rear, and if I can fight, I will fight, and if I can't, I will retreat."
Xi Zhicai no longer had a joking demeanor, and his expression became very serious.
"There are only 1,000 people on the Flying Feather Ride, in case there is a ...... on the Yingchuan side"
Xun You frowned and said, before he finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Liu Zhan.
Liu Zhan didn't speak, just looked at Xi Zhicai, and motioned to Xi Zhicai to finish his words at one time, don't be like squeezing toothpaste.
Xi Zhicai smiled and arched his hand towards Liu Zhan: "Lord, in fact, it's okay not to rescue, I believe that Fengxiao will have a way to break the enemy." However, just in case, it is still necessary to send troops to rescue Yingchuan, after all, Yingchuan cannot afford to lose. There are two reasons why I am admonishing like this: First, the 20,000 Flying Tiger Battalion can't do it. If there is turmoil today, there are not a few people harboring evil intentions in various states and counties, and the so-called princes and alliances are only on the surface, and I don't know how many people are secretly watching the lord's every move, but if there is a gap, someone may jump out to give the lord a fatal blow. The second is that Yingchuan has Guo Fengxiao, nine times out of ten there will be no loss, and I believe that the lord also believes in the ability of filial piety. ”
Liu Zhan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, that's reasonable." Luoyang can't lose, if Luoyang loses, then Luoyang, the territory that is hard to occupy, will be handed over, and some people ...... "There are no outsiders in the house, and Liu Zhan said it more bluntly."
Xun You also agrees with Xi Zhicai's statement, but he is not worried about whether Guo Jia can hold Yingchuan, in his opinion, Xi Zhicai's plan is like gambling, and he thinks it is a little inappropriate to block one person.
However, Xun You thought about it, wasn't his plan also gambling? If the 20,000 Flying Tiger Battalion leaves Luoyang and Luoyang is occupied by others, wouldn't it be worth the loss? If Guo Jia can really defend Yingchuan, wouldn't it be superfluous to send 20,000 Flying Tiger Battalions to rescue Yingchuan?
After weighing left and right, Xun You also thinks that Xi Zhicai's plan is better. However, what he didn't know in his heart was that with only 10,000 people, how would Guo Jia defend Yingchuan.
After thinking about it clearly, Xun You arched his hand and said, "For now, it can only be like this." However, when the flying feather ride comes to the rescue, there is still something to be done. ”
Liu Zhan's eyes flashed, he looked at Xun You, and said with a smile: "Gongda, what is the best plan, come quickly." ”
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and waited to hear what Xun You said next.
Xun You cleared his throat and arched his hand: "Lord, the Flying Feather Cavalry is a cavalry, and its actions are as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, but they can bluff and confuse the allies. ”
As soon as Xun You's voice fell, Liu Zhan and Xi Zhicai nodded in unison.
Liu Zhan laughed and said, "This is good!" In this way, the rescue plan of the Flying Feather Rider can be regarded as complete. ”
Xi Zhicai also smiled slightly and said, "The rest is to wait for the news of Fengxiao." ”
At this moment, Shi A walked in quickly, came to Liu Zhan's side and whispered for a while, and then took out a small bamboo pipe sealed with mud from his arms and handed it to Liu Zhan.
Liu Zhan quickly deducted the mud seal, took out a piece of silk cloth from the bamboo pipe, opened it and looked at it a few times, and then laughed: "Fengxiao really has a good plan to break the enemy." ”
"Lord, what does this say?"
Xun You asked a little anxiously. Among the strategies discussed by the three of them, Xun You is most relieved that Guo Jia is this link, if Guo Jia can't keep Yingchuan well, then Feiyu riding to rescue Yingchuan will become an itch in the boots.
Xi Zhicai looked like this, with a faint smile on his face, sitting there quietly sipping the hot tea in front of him.
Liu Zhan laughed again, and said: "Feng Xiao anticipates the enemy's opportunity, and has already made a lot of plans, even if there is no rescue from the Flying Feather Rider, I believe that Yingchuan will not be in danger." Liu Zhan said, coughing lightly, and continued, "As early as the beginning of the alliance of the alliance, Feng Xiao had agreed with Xun Xiang to send all the swordsmen of Yingchuan to the land of all the princes, spread unfavorable remarks against the princes, and bribed the local officials with money, turning the territory of the princes of all walks of life upside down.
Ha ha...... It's really a pleasure......"
After Liu Zhan finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter.
Xi Zhicai nodded clearly, didn't speak, and tasted the hot tea in his hand vigorously.
Xun You was shocked, and his eyes widened......
This is...... Is this Guo Fengxiao still human?
Such a distant thing, he can calculate to such an extent! It's incredible, it's incredible......
