Chapter 344: Burning Wheat
The person who offered the potters a sneak attack on the wheat field was indeed Guo Jia.
Guo Jia has been in charge of setting up the school government over the years, and he naturally knows the intelligence of various states well, and the news that Cao Cao of Yanzhou has short legs in grain and grass naturally can't hide it from him.
In this game, it is not that Guo Jia is better than Xun Yu, but in the matter of grain and grass, Xun Yu does have a weakness.
Even if he knew that Guo Jia was forcing him out of the city, for the safety of Cao Cao on the Western Front, he had to go out of the city to grab wheat with the Xuzhou army.
The safety of Cao Cao's main army on the Western Front is the safety of the entire Yanzhou, and if the main force on the Western Front loses because of grain and grass, it will be meaningless if Puyang wants it or not.
After arriving at the wheat field, the potter beckoned his subordinates to cut the wheat, and asked Guo Jia and Chen Deng, who were with the army: "Two, we are here to grab wheat with Xun Yu, even if Xun Yu is led out of the city, but I think that the combat strength of the soldiers who Cao Cao stayed in the city to defend the city should be the elite of Cao's army, and the number of people on both sides is equal, and both sides are good at fighting...... If you want to defeat them, you are afraid that it will not be easy. ”
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Because of this, we have to lead them out, if they fight a tough battle around Puyang City, then there will be no chance of winning this battle!" What's more, the opponent is still Xun Yu...... This person is well-versed in both military and political affairs, and has no short legs, so Guo has no certainty of defeating him. ”
Chen Deng said to Tao Shang: "But having said that, we do have another trick to go, that is, to divide a team of soldiers and horses, take Xun Yu to compete with us in Dongtun, secretly go to Puyang, attack the city, and quickly welcome the Son of Heaven out of the city to Fan County, and make a move to draw salary." ”
Guo Jia said hesitantly: "Yuan Long inevitably underestimates Xun Yu too much, although this person looks honest and elegant on weekdays, like an honest man, in fact, his mind is the most meticulous, if he leaves the city, the city will inevitably leave preparations, and even if the division of troops can attack Puyang City, but if there are fewer soldiers and horses with him, he may not be able to take away the Son of Heaven under the noses of the people and scholars in the city, after all, for them, the Son of Heaven is very important, not ordinary." ”
Chen Deng seemed to be confident about this, and said: "It's okay, the last time I went to Dongjun to negotiate secretly with Chen Gong and Zhang Miao and others, I knew that the big Toda clan in Puyang City was also their inner line, Xun Yu guarded against the scholars in Puyang City, but he couldn't guard against all the big Shang families, right?" I have already gone to the Chen Palace, and I have already obtained the Tian family's method of contact, and I have secretly connected with him, as long as I can enter Puyang City, I will definitely have a way to take the Son of Heaven away quickly. ”
Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Deng's foresight.
But after thinking about it carefully, he frowned again and said: "But our soldiers and horses are limited, and we can't have many soldiers, so if you want to cooperate with Yuanlong to do such a big thing, you must have a wise and brave general to accompany you." ”
When they said this, they immediately looked at the potter together.
No matter how the two wise men worked out the strategy, the final decision had to fall on the potter.
After listening to what the two of them said, the potter pondered carefully for a while, and then said: "According to the current situation, the strength of the two sides is equal, I want to take the Son of Heaven in the hands of Xun Yu, and only according to your suitable plan to do it, this strategy is feasible...... The most important thing is the general who went with Yuanlong to divide his troops and capture the city...... It has to be a wise and brave person. ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "This time we came with us, there are Tao Ji and Gan Ning, and the rest of the generals are training soldiers and horses in Liang State, and cooperating with Sun Qian to confuse Cao Jun's eyes and ears in Jiyin County, although Gan Ning is brave, but his character is too strong, and he can fight, but it is not good to cooperate with Yuanlong, and Tao Ji is more than calm, but unfortunately the courage is not enough......"
Chen Deng sighed regretfully and said, "If I knew this, I would have brought Xu Rong here." ”
The potter suddenly laughed.
"The two of you are not right, in fact, this matter is not true, among the generals who accompanied him, there is one person who is enough to take on this great responsibility! can not only attack the city, but also cooperate with Yuan Long, and I personally feel that he is more suitable than Xu Rong. ”
"Who?"
"Zhao Yun under Gongsun Zhan."
……
Xun Yu left Xia Houen to lead a thousand tigers and leopards to defend Puyang, and he led the remaining 5,000 infantry straight to the wheat fields in Dongtun.
Vaguely, Xun Yu could already see the potter's Jinling army harvesting wheat in the wheat field of Dongtun.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw Xun Yu, I almost vomited blood.
The Xuzhou sergeant didn't use a sickle to cut wheat, but an ordinary Pu knife!
When the wheat is broken and scattered on the ground, there will be many losers, and there will be more waste.
Xun Yu's heart is about to break, Yanzhou is already short of food, and these bastards are still in this terrible disaster.
Turning his head, Xun Yu stared at Xiahou Jie behind him, and ordered: "Quickly give a certain order to go down, enter the wheat field in a while, ask others, directly kill the Xuzhou army, kill one enemy, and reward food!" Those who kill more than 10 enemies will be exempted from one year! ”
The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, as soon as Xun Yu's order reached the ears of Cao Bing's soldiers, the crowd was immediately excited.
Everyone was gearing up, just waiting for a moment to rush into the wheat field and smash these robbers who couldn't cut their own grain and rice.
It's so infuriating!
But it is clear that the Jinling army of the potters did not intend to hold on to Cao Jun for a long time.
Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Lian, who commanded the soldiers and horses, had just rushed into the wheat field, and saw the harvesting Jinling soldiers, under the command of Tao Ji, they quickly withdrew to the rear.
Xun Yu's soldiers and horses were hot, and after rushing into the wheat field, they wanted to kill people, but they didn't even catch a figure, and the other party retreated.
And Xun Yu was afraid of deception, so he didn't let Xiahou Jie chase after him, but just sent scouts to investigate the movements of the Jinling army.
After a few scouts heard the information, the potter's soldiers and horses, after withdrawing some distance, actually turned around and ran to the other side of the reclamation to grab the wheat.
When Xia Houjie heard this, he immediately became angry.
"Xuzhou thieves dare to do this, deceive us too much!"
Xiahou Jie was just about to command the soldiers and horses to pursue again, but saw Xun Yu suddenly stretch out his hand to block him, and said, "Let me think twice." ”
Xun Yu half-squinted his eyes and pondered carefully for a while before revealing a smile.
"Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, do you want to hold my soldiers and horses here, and then divide your troops to take Puyang City? Hehe, it's a pity that Xun has already arranged for soldiers to be stationed in the city, and I'm afraid your hard work will come to naught. ”
Xiahou Jie was a little anxious on the side: "In the waiting, the Xuzhou army has gone to the other side to cut wheat again, let's hurry up and chase it!" ”
Xun Yu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, this is Guo Fengxiao's tired strategy, cutting wheat is fake, causing our army to chase in a hurry, and it is true to wear down morale, Xiahou Sima doesn't have to ignore him, you only need to divide the troops with Brother Ling later, from the east and west, and slowly march to the Xuzhou army to oppress, the Xuzhou army now does not want to fight with us, if they see you, they will retreat, and you two do not have to chase each other, just one left and one right to drive them out of the wheat field, and then Chen Bing will not let the Xuzhou army enter the field at the edge of the field. ”
When Xiahou Jie heard this, he immediately received the order, and then acted separately with Xiahou Lian.
According to Xun Yu's strategy, not long after, Xiahou Jie and Xiahou Lian really drove the soldiers and horses of Jinling City out of the wheat field, and then guarded the ditch with soldiers and horses, and resolutely did not let the Jinling army enter to harm the crops.
Tao Ji, who was in charge of commanding the soldiers and horses, brought the news to the potters and Guo Jia in the rear.
When Guo Jia heard Xun Yu's technique, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "This Xun Wenruo is really still the same, he is decent and does not leave the slightest gap, so that people can't find his slightest handle and flaw, Guo Mou's biggest headache in his life is an opponent like him, it's really not easy to fool." ”
The potter had an ear of wheat in his mouth, and when he heard the words, he spit the ear of wheat to the ground, and said: "What's the big deal, Wendou can't do it, let's fight with him or martial arts!" ”
Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand what the meaning of the word "Gou or" came from.
"What are you going to do?"
The potter showed his usual sunny smile: "Where is Gan Ning?" ”
After this call, I heard a "crackling" bell sound, and the man with his own background music appeared.
"Hey, hey! The last general is here, what does the prince command? ”
The potter pointed to the wheat field in the distance and said, "You lead a team of crossbowmen and take rockets to shoot a wheat field and open Gou He's eyes." ”
Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard this.
He hurriedly waved his hand at the potter and said, "The prince of the house is not making trouble!" We are here to clamp down on Xun Yu, if you really dare to burn the field, the surname Xun will definitely give you your life, and then we will be entangled by him and it will be difficult to get out, and we will be trapped in the enemy and cannot retreat, then it will be dangerous to turn back. ”
When the potter heard this, he suddenly said, "That's right, it's really easy to jump off the wall in a hurry...... Xingba, then you lead the crossbow army, and use rockets to burn wheat in the enemy close to the irrigation water source, remember to burn it with warm fire, burn it quietly, and be gentle, so that Xun Yu's soldiers and horses can extinguish the kind of fire that is the best. ”
Gan Ning was suddenly stupid when he heard this.
Burn it, just burn it, you have to do it just right, so that the other party can extinguish it at any time?
Do you mean you want me to set it on fire?
I didn't seem to have burned so finely when I was a thief.
Although there were doubts in his heart, Gan Ning still lazily agreed:
"No......"
The potter nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and pointed in the other direction: "After burning one place with a small fire, use a small fire to burn another, remember that the fire can't be too big, it must just burn to the kind that can make Xun Yu extinguish it in time, so that we won't completely provoke him, but the number of fire points must be enough...... The so-called spark can start a prairie fire, and we can be regarded as walking. ”
Gan Ning grinned when he heard this: "Fu Jun, you are too embarrassing!" Arson is a big thing, you let me magnify the kind of fire that can't be extinguished, I will set a small fire, and I have to be able to extinguish it at any time...... It's too embarrassing to be a person, not to mention anything else, if there is a strong wind later, and the fire borrows the wind, then it can't be controlled by me, so what should I do? ”
The potter smiled slightly, and said very unreasonably: "Look at your unopened mouth, you won't look forward to the rain from God?" It has to be windy, if it is really windy, then you will go with Xun Yu to extinguish the fire, maybe he will be grateful to you at that time, turn enemies into friends, and talk to you about wine, and sometimes it is so simple. ”
Gan Ning: "......"
