Huangfu Song looked around the tent, saw that the generals were excited, nodded secretly, and asked Fu Xie with a smile: "Since Sima has seen the shortcomings of the thief, can there be a plan to break the thief?" ”

Fu Xie said: "After watching the battle in the morning, Xie, Liang Changshi, and Yan Zhushu returned to the camp to discuss the military, and they all thought that the opportunity for our army to win was in this small defeat this morning. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The general and Zhu Gong, Lu Gong divided the troops out of Beijing, pacified the states, from the late spring to the present, months of war, people and horses do not stop, the thieves of Henan and Yan Zhuzhou have been destroyed, Nanyang Zhang Mancheng also died, only Zhang Jiao brothers remained. First, Duke Lu was unable to attack, then Duke Dong was frustrated under the city, and now the general has also been defeated. Guangzong thieves have won consecutive victories, and they will despise us, 'the greedy soldiers die, the proud soldiers will be destroyed, and this heavenly way will also be destroyed', and the arrogant soldiers will be destroyed. Therefore, Xie thought that our army seemed to have lost this morning, but in fact it was a good opportunity for me to win. ”

Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo successively attacked Guangzong for several months, but they could not be defeated, but the two were convicted for this, one was sent to Beijing, and the other went to Kyoto to receive the crime, and Huangfu Song was also defeated in the city after coming. In just a few months, the Han army in Jizhou changed three commanders one after another, all of whom were people with great prestige and were all defeated here.

As soon as the Jizhou Yellow Turban arrogantly underestimated the enemy, the opportunity for the Han soldiers came.

Zou Jing nodded again and again and said, "Fu Sima is right! …… No wonder the general just said: Although Captain Liu was defeated today, in the eyes of the general, he was victorious despite defeat. In this way, the general had long expected that the Guangzong thief would be proud and underestimate the enemy? ”

Huangfu Song smiled slightly.

Lieutenant Liu's attack in the morning was really a triple victory: one tested the elite combat power of Guangzong, the second made the generals of the Han army put away the heart of the enemy, and the third encouraged the arrogance of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou.

Duan Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "General, in this case, our army might as well cover the door and make a truce to show cowardice, so that the Jizhou thieves will despise us even more?" ”

"Before the princes came to my tent, I sent a military order, and ordered the camp gate to be closed."

Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said admiringly: "The general's foresight! ”

Fu Xie and Duan Xuan had a little holiday before, but at the moment of the military aircraft, he was able to calmly sit in the same account with Duan Xuan to discuss the military, he thought about it and said: "The more the thieves in Jizhou despise us, the better we will be to break the thieves." General, you might as well keep the gate of this camp closed for a few more days. When the Jizhou thieves see that we have been waiting for a long time to close the camp gate, they will definitely be even more arrogant, and then our army can wait for the opportunity to attack them. ”

"No!"

Fu Xie turned his eyes to look at it, but it was Liang Yan who stopped him and said strangely: "Why does Changshi say 'can't'?" ”

Since they all agreed that the Jizhou Yellow Turban Society would be proud of the enemy because of its successive victories, Liang Yan said at this time that he could not close the camp for a long time, not only Fu Xie was strange, but most of the generals in the tent were also strange, and he didn't know what Liang Yan meant. Liu Bei was not good at military affairs, and he didn't understand what Liang Yan meant, so he sat at the last seat, looked at Liang Yan suspiciously, and waited for him to explain.

Only Emperor Fu Song stroked his beard and smiled, nodding slightly.

Liang Yan said: "Our army rode tens of thousands of steps, although it suffered a small setback, it did not damage its strength. The imperial court was anxious to pacify Jizhou, which was known to the Jizhou Yellow Turbans. Since the strength of our army is undiminished, if the camp is closed for a long time, it will arouse their suspicions. Therefore the gates of this camp must not be closed for a long time. ”

In the past few months, the imperial court has successively changed three commanders of the Jizhou battlefield, and Dong Zhuo was convicted only for a small defeat, which shows the urgency of the court to pacify Jizhou. If Huangfu Song closed the camp gate for a long time, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Zhang Liang and others, once they were suspicious, the defense would be strict, and once the defense was tight, the city would be more difficult to break, and it would be self-defeating for the Han soldiers.

Duan Xuan, Fu Xie, Liu Bei and others thought about it, and felt that it was reasonable, and they nodded frequently, agreeing with Liang Yan's opinion.

Fu Xie asked, "In this way, what is the best strategy for Changshi?" ”

"I thought: the opportunity to break the thief is in the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar in the tent.

The generals didn't care about Huangfu Song's presence here, and exchanged their heads and ears.

Some said, "Tomorrow? ”

Some said, "It's too urgent, isn't it?" ”

Some said: "I just lost today, and I will attack tomorrow?" ”

Some said: "It's better to wait for two more days, as Fu Sima said, it's not too late to attack after the thieves despise our army even more!" ”

Huangfu Song coughed, motioned to the generals to shut down, and after the tent gradually calmed down, he said: "Don't be impatient, and listen to Liang Changshi's details." ......, Changshi, why did you say that tomorrow is a good opportunity? ”

"When I just said that 'the opportunity to break the thief is in the Ming Dynasty', to be honest, I was only six points sure, but now I am very sure."

"Why?"

Liang Yan looked around the tent and said with a smile: "As soon as Shi Caiyan's voice landed, the gentlemen in the tent were deeply surprised, or Yun 'tomorrow is too urgent', or Yun 'wait two more days'. General, even the generals of our army don't think that tomorrow is a good opportunity, so the Jizhou thieves must be even more unthinkable that our army will fight them in a decisive battle tomorrow. What they didn't think of was a good opportunity for our army! This art of war is also 'surprisingly successful'. ”

Liang Yan's words are very reasonable, and all the generals in the account are thinking about it.

At this time, Tian Yi, the head of Dong Zhuo's department, said loudly: "Today, our army just fought a battle with the Guangzong thieves, will the Guangzong thieves be because of this?" ”

"Is Tian Jun worried that Guangzong's yellow scarf will strengthen his vigilance because of this?"

"Exactly."

"Quite the opposite! Not only did Guangzong's Yellow Turban not strengthen its vigilance, but the defense in the city and camp was lax. ”

"Oh?"

"General, I rode out of the camp after lunch and went around the outside of Guangzong City and the Yellow Turban Camp. When the general first arrived, the guards on the city of Guangzong were standing in front of the battlements, as if facing the enemy, from time to time there were Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai walking by, patrolling back and forth, but at noon today, many of the guards on Guangzong City were leaning on the side of the battlements, sleeping with weapons, and there was no Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai patrolling for a long time. When the general first arrived, the Yellow Turban Battalion outside the city was very vigilant, and the garrison in the camp was also very lax this afternoon, and Yan saw from afar that there were many more cooking cigarettes in his camp than in the previous two days. The defenses in the city and in the camp were loose, the soldiers were full of food and drink, and the mortals were in high spirits when they were in the bitter cold, and they were often sleepy after a full meal, and they would certainly not have the fighting spirit of the morning in a short time. Therefore, it is thought that the Ming Dynasty has a good opportunity. ”

When he first arrived in Guangzong, Zhang Liang was on the verge of a great enemy, so he was heavily guarded, but this morning they defeated Liu's lieutenant department without much effort, which gave them an illusion that Huangfu Song was like this. After several days of nervousness, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban will inevitably relax all of a sudden.

Huangfu Song said with a smile: "Sun Tzu - Military Struggle" cloud: 'Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharpness, and attack their laziness, and those who control qi are also treated with chaos, and those who are calm and uproar are also treated." Changshi, you just said a few words, which can be said to have fulfilled the essence of Sun Tzu's two sentences. ”

"The general praised falsely, and Yan didn't dare to be. Don't dare to hide it from the general, these things were not obtained by Yan alone, but after repeated discussions with Nanrong and Master Yan. ”

"Why be too modest?" During the military discussion, Huangfu Song praised two sentences, then took the topic, got back to the point, and said, "Gentlemen, what do you think Changshi said? ”

His attitude was obvious, clearly agreeing with Liang Yan's opinion, and what Liang Yan said was indeed reasonable, and all the generals in the account said: "Liang Changshi is very true." ”

Although I didn't go out of the Chinese army for a day, I sent several teams of scouts and cavalry to quietly go out of the camp as early as the morning after the battle, and peeped at the thieves in and out of the camp in Guangzong City. …… The generals listened to orders. ”

The generals in the tent, including Liu Bei, all stood up and bowed down to listen to the order.

"Tomorrow is a decisive battle with the thief! You and the others will return to their own camp and fight their horses, and tonight they will assemble on the third watch, and the rooster will send out troops. ”
