The battlefield in Jizhou is not optimistic, why is there an unfavorable situation in Youzhou?

The current Youzhou is full of fierce generals with 10,000 enemies, plus there is Wen Chou, and it is not a problem to command the operation.

Although there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, as long as they defend the city and do not take the initiative to fight the Yellow Turban Army, there should be no problems in a short time.

In addition, Xue Yun had already received a reply from Yuan Shu, saying that he would send reinforcements to support Youzhou, so there was no need for Xue Yun to worry.

And according to the time calculation, by tomorrow at the latest, Yuan Shu's army will arrive in Youzhou, and together with Wen Chou, they will work together to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

According to Xue Yun's calculations, it would not be a problem for Wen Chou and them to keep it for three or four days, why did they receive a letter of help from Wen Chou after only one day?

Xue Yun told the news on the letter to everyone present, and they were also puzzled.

Because according to the information Yan Liang obtained, the Yellow Turban Army responsible for attacking Youzhou was not an elite army, but a completely miscellaneous army.

Among them, there are no fierce generals who can fight well, and Wen Chou should deal with it, so it should not be a big problem.

Xu You said, "Lord, this matter is a bit strange, and I hope that the lord will be cautious." ”

Everyone looked at Xu You, and Yan Liang said, "Mr. Xu, do you think there is something wrong here?" ”

Xu You said to the soldier who delivered the message, "You go and get the carrier pigeon that delivered the message." ”

Soon, a gray and white pigeon was brought to Xu You.

Xu You took it in his hand, looked it up and down, put it on the ground, looked at its lively appearance, and confirmed the conjecture in his heart.

Then he said to Xue Yun, "Lord, this news is very likely to be fake!" ”

Xu You's words can be said to be shocked, including Xue Yun, they don't know how Xu You can determine the authenticity of the news through a pigeon.

So without waiting for Xue Yun to ask, Xu You said, "Lord, Youzhou is hundreds of miles away from here, even if it is the fastest flying pigeon, it will take half an hour." It's the hot summer season right now, and normally a pigeon has flown such a long distance and is already out of breath and has no strength. But look at this pigeon ... ”

The pigeon was bouncing in front of the crowd without the slightest sign of exhaustion.

It's more like being locked up in a cage for too long and running out to get some fresh air.

Xue Yun looked at the pigeon, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Surprised: "Are you saying that this carrier pigeon did not fly from Youzhou, but Zhang Liang passed on false news to us?" Are you going to let us send reinforcements, so that he can intercept them halfway? ”

The more Xue Yun thought about it, the more likely this was to be, because Zhang Liang's siege weapons had been destroyed by himself.

If he attacks blindly now, it is very likely that he will suffer heavy losses and even return home.

And he knows the gap between his army and Yuan Shao's army.

Confident that in a head-to-head confrontation, he would definitely be able to crush Yuan Shao's army.

So he used this false information to make Yuan Shao anxious, and in order to protect his beloved general, he would definitely send the army to the rescue.

Zhang Liang waited for this opportunity to eat the support army in one bite.

At that time, Yuan Shao's army suffered heavy losses and its morale plummeted, and he could capture Jizhou City in one go and finish his work in one battle.

After Xue Yun figured out this truth, the heart hanging in his heart also fell.

Said slowly, "Since it is not Wen Chou's rescue letter, it proves that Youzhou is worry-free." We don't need to send troops to rescue Youzhou. ”

As soon as Xue Yun's words fell, Xu Shu opened his mouth and said, "No, lord, we still have to send reinforcements." ”

"Why?" Xue Yun knew that Xu Shu planned to make a plan and make another ambush when the Yellow Turban Army surrounded them, and then defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

But through the previous tragic battle, Xue Yun saw the gap between the two sides clearly, if he fought with a knife and a gun, he would definitely lose himself.

Zhang Liang's army was already superior in numbers, and the quality of individual soldiers was so good.

Fight him yourself, not to mention hitting the stone with an egg, but it is definitely a heavy casualty.

They can only rely on the city defense of Jizhou now, and Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army is consumed here.

And he has already sent troops to ambush the Yellow Turban Army on the road that must be used to transport grain and grass, as long as his grain and grass are cut off, Zhang Liang can naturally only return in vain.

This is also the most conservative method at present, why does Xu Shu still have to confront the Yellow Turban Army?

Xu Shu saw Xue Yun's puzzled face, and explained, "Although the lord sent an army to lure the Yellow Turban Army into the bait, he has his own clever plan. ”

Every time Xu Shu plays tricks, he will give Xue Yun unexpected surprises.

So he wrote a reply that reinforcements would be sent and asked the pigeon to be brought to his owner.

Sure enough, the carrier pigeon flew in the direction of Youzhou.

It's just that after flying less than ten miles, he landed and came to Huang Ye's side.

Huang Ye took out a note and handed it to Zhang Liang beside him.

Zhang Liang looked at what was written on it, and laughed loudly, "Okay, the plan has been successful, Yuan Shao said that he would send Zhang He as the main general, personally lead an army of 20,000, go out from the south gate, and go to Xishan to help Youzhou." ”

Because through the previous fight, Zhang Liang found that Yuan Shao's other general, Wen Chou, did not appear.

Zhang Liang didn't think that Yuan Shao was hiding, because of this kind of war, even some unknown generals were sent out.

Wen Chou, this kind of general who is the enemy of 10,000 people, Yuan Shao has no reason not to let him appear.

So Zhang Liang guessed whether it would be Yuan Shao who sent him to Youzhou.

Because although there is no shortage of fierce generals who can fight well in Youzhou, there is no shortage of wise generals.

Wen Chou, who escorted Yuan Shao to Luoyang before, was the most suitable person.

And Zhang Liang knew the weight of Wen Chou in Yuan Shao's heart.

Not to mention Youzhou at this time, there is another of his generals - Dian Wei.

Therefore, Yuan Shao would definitely send reinforcements to rescue them, and Zhang Liang led the army to ambush them in the middle, so that Yuan Shao's army could also experience the taste of being ambushed.

It's just that Huang Ye smelled a little different on this letter.

said, "Rengong, on this letter, not only the commander of the army, the number of reinforcements, but also the path of departure are clearly written. I suspect that our plans have been discovered. ”

Hearing Huang Ye say this, Zhang Liang also reacted, that's right, the information in this is too complete, as if it was written to him Zhang Liang.

How about telling him that there are so many of me, and that the marching route is here? Convincing? If you're not convinced, come and hit me?

Zhang Liang frowned and asked, "Are you saying that our plan has been seen through by Yuan Shao and them?" Is this their plan? Just to wait for us to launch a surprise attack and then give us another surprise? ”

Huang Ye nodded, "It's very likely, because they only sent 20,000 people, and we will only send 20,000 or 30,000." If Yuan Shao uses all his soldiers and horses to fight us at that time, our ambush soldiers will be more than lucky. ”

"I didn't expect Yuan Shao to use 20,000 people as bait to lure us into the bait? What a ruthless heart. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang snorted coldly and said, "Since he Yuan Shao plans to plan the plan, then I will ambush the main force." As long as Yuan Shao's army appears, we will rush up and let them not think of going back alive. At that time, Jizhou will be mine. ”
