Chapter 312: Strategies to Solve the Siege of the White Horse
Cao Ang glanced at the brothers, and said with a slight joke: "You usually boast that you are more powerful than Han Xin Leyi, and it seems that you just lack a chance to become famous in a fight."
Now that the white horse is tight, you can talk about it in front of Liu Pingxian's brother, but there is a good way to retreat from the enemy. โ
After Cao Ang finished speaking, he tasted tea with a faint smile.
His brothers are all over-the-top and arrogant, and it seems that as long as they are given a military horse, everyone can create a feat like Han Xin Leyi.
So Cao Ang brought these guys over and asked Liu Ping to kill their sharp spirit.
After all, Liu Ping has made outstanding achievements, and they are still very convinced.
At this time, Cao Tai stood up first, cleared his throat, and then nodded politely at Liu Ping and said, "I'll say it first, and ask my sister-in-law to correct the shortcomings." โ
"Your Cao Tai's strategy is unparalleled in the world, and there are still shortcomings?" Xiahou Chong teased beside him.
In addition to Cao Ang, Xiahou Chong and Cao Tai are the oldest.
The two of them represent the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers.
It's just that there is no blood relationship between these two families, and even those of the same generation as Cao Chun and Xiahou Yuan are competing with each other behind their backs, not to mention the younger generation, these young men with strong blood?
"Shut up, you!" Cao Tai glanced at Xiahou Chong with disdain, "Don't brag about anyone."
We usually boast that no matter how much we have a last resort, it is just a talk on paper, but my sister-in-law is a person who has really commanded the army to fight, and has never lost a battle.
In front of my sister-in-law, let's not say anything about anyone. โ
Xiahou Chong pursed his lips and said, "Usually boasting about it is you, I didn't say that." โ
"I think you want me to accompany you to practice your fists and feet?" Cao Tai raised his eyebrows.
Although the children of the two families can't fight openly, as the queen of the gate, accompanying each other to practice martial arts is the best pretense.
Even if you practice the other party's nose and face are swollen, you can only blame yourself for your own poor ability.
As he spoke, the two rolled up their arms and sleeves, and they were about to go to the courtyard to practice.
"Enough!"
At this time, Cao Ang slapped the table and scolded angrily.
The teenagers were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, took two steps back, and did not dare to speak again.
Of course, they usually dare to joke with Cao Ang between brothers, but when Cao Ang is really angry, no one dares to be afraid.
After all, Cao Ang is both the eldest brother and the son, and they still want to mix in the Cao family in the future.
For a while, the whole study was quiet and scared.
"Don't be nervous, just keep talking," Liu Ping broke the silence and smiled at the group of secondary two teenagers.
Cao Ang glared at the brothers, and his face slowly softened.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Tai continued what he had just said and said, "Liu Yan, the general of the White Horse, has 5,000 soldiers in his hands, and Yan Liang, the general of the Yuan Army who attacked the White Horse, has 50,000 soldiers and horses.
Although Liu Yan was defending the fortified city, it was not easy to hold on to these days in the face of a tenfold enemy.
But the uncle's military horse was dragged in Yanjin by Wen Chou, and he couldn't rescue the white horse......"
This is exactly the current situation, Liu Ping couldn't help but rub his forehead when he heard it.
Previously, Cao Cao used Xun Yousheng's strategy of attacking the west in the east, attacking Yanjin with great fanfare, and making a posture of outflanking Yan Liang's back road, the purpose was to attract Yan Liang to return to the army, and then send light cavalry to raid, and the siege of Baima was relieved.
But for some reason, Yuan's army did not have a plan, and Yan Liang, who attacked Baima, did not slow down at all, but Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou from Liyang to lead 50,000 troops into Yanjin to confront Cao's army.
As a result, Cao Junsheng's strategy of attacking the east and west failed, not only could the white horse not be rescued, but the main force of the Cao army was also dragged in Yanjin, and it was in a dilemma for a while.
Advance, with the strength of Cao's army, it is absolutely impossible to break through Yanjin.
retreated, went directly to save Baima, then Wen Chou led the army to chase after him from Yanjin and make peace with Yan Liang, and the Yuan army formed a large group army of 100,000 people, and the Cao army had no chance.
It's a dilemma! ยท
At this time, Cao Tai obviously had a countermeasure, and he continued: "In my opinion, at this time, it is advisable to send a small number of light cavalry to make a detour to the rear of Yan Liang and harass the grain road of the Yuan army, and at the same time let Liu Yan lead the army to break through the siege, withdraw the garrison of Guandu, and then plan for the future. โ
Liu Ping nodded slightly when he heard this, it seems that these second generations of the Cao family are not useless straw bales, what Cao Tai said is obviously the most practical strategy at present.
Yan Liang's 50,000 army besieged the city, and the Cao clan had no reinforcements to send, so the siege of Baima was naturally unsolvable.
Since this is the case, I simply don't understand, directly restrain Yan Liang a little, and then let Liu Yan break through, how much can he escape, withdraw to Guandu on the south bank of the Yellow River, and then wait for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Yuan's army.
After Cao Tai finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ping with a smug look on his face.
Obviously, he has been thinking about this strategy for a long time, and he feels that this is the only way at present, and even Liu Ping is impossible to refute.
If even a recognized wise person like Liu Ping can't refute his idea, then he will show his face.
At this time, Cao Ang couldn't help but nod when he looked at Liu Ping, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
originally wanted Liu Ping to kill these guys, but the situation in front of them seemed to fuel their arrogance even more.
"This is what you call the solution to the white horse?"
Liu Ping pondered for a moment, but shook his head with a smile and said: "If Liu Yan is allowed to abandon the White Horse and retreat to Guandu, Yan Liang's army is not damaged, and he will definitely pursue him quickly, what is the difference between it and a decisive battle with him in the White Horse?"
What's more, abandoning the city to break through, retreating to Guandu, and building a barrier again, I don't know how much it will cost in the middle, isn't this an extra move? โ
Abandoning the lonely city and retaining the living force was indeed a practical strategy, but Cao Tai ignored that the enemy army had nothing to lose at all.
Liu Yan escaped, the enemy army will definitely chase after him, even if Liu Yan is fortunate enough to lead the remnants to escape to Guandu, he can't hold it in Baima, and he can't hold it in Guandu, so it makes no sense to abandon the city and escape.
"This ......"
Cao Tai suddenly became embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the perfect idea he thought he thought he wanted couldn't withstand Liu Ping's refutation, which inevitably hit his self-confidence.
Cao Tai, who was the leader, was stunned, and the group of Cao brothers behind him were also like frosted eggplants, and they lost their spirits.
Cao Ang looked secretly amused, and secretly gave Liu Ping a thumbs up, these brothers thought that they would be invincible in the world after reading the military book for a few days, and they deserved to meet an experienced demon like Liu Ping.
"It turns out that your so-called good strategy Cao Tai is to be a deserter?
If you want to escape, you will have fled a long time ago, why wait until now? At this time, Xiahou Chong still didn't forget a few words from Cao Tai.
Cao Tai couldn't help but smoke in anger, took a step back, and said indignantly: "Then I want to hear what you Xiahou Chong thinks." โ
Xiahou Chong had already thought of countermeasures, intending to get Liu Ping's approval.
He cleared his throat and said shyly: "We should send a general to lead a light horse to Baima, show Yan Liang to be weak, and when Yan Liang is arrogant, he will suddenly attack and behead Yan Liang in the army of ten thousand horses, then the Yuan army will be chaotic, and the siege of Baima can be solved." โ
