Jia Xu screamed and bounced up, his face a little pale.

What surprised Nan Ying the most was not his earth-shattering words, but his eyes. Nanying had almost never seen Jia Xu show this kind of look, panicked look.

Before Lu Zhi and the others could react, Pei Yuanshao exclaimed, "What? How would you know! ”

Sweat oozed from Jia Xu's forehead, but the panicked look finally faded. He sneered: "Do you want to say that you have been thinking about it for many days to speculate, but how can I blurt it out immediately?" ”

Pei Yuanshao nodded foolishly.

Lu Zhi finally realized that the situation was unusual, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Jia, please explain everything immediately!" ”

Jia Xu walked behind Lu Zhi, pointed to the hanging map and said, "General Lu!" By now, it is necessary to make public the overall layout of our army! According to the original plan, five days before the swearing-in ceremony of the court, the army of our North Road had already marched day and night, secretly heading to Hebei, the purpose of which was to catch the thief army by surprise and make up for the huge gap between our army and them in terms of military strength! Of course, what you don't know is that the court still sent three armies to conquer the thieves from all walks of life to hide people's eyes! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Pei Yuanshao's eyes widened, but the generals were also in a commotion, and a captain looked at Nan Ying in disbelief and said: "In other words, Nan Sima's guess is completely correct!" ”

Lu Zhi stared at Jia Xu and said, "Lord Jia! Tell the general, why do you have to disclose such a confidential matter? ”

Jia Xu sighed: "Because the thief army also has the same idea as our army, if we don't be open and honest with the generals, and deliver the news to the other armies in time." Not only is my army in danger, but the other three armies are also likely to be wiped out! ”

Nan Ying and Lu Zhi's bodies trembled slightly, and they noticed Jia Xu's statement at the same time: The three-way army? There should only be two ways for Huangfu Song's south road and Qiangtong's east road to contain the troops. Jia Xu said that he wanted to be open and honest, but he still kept a hand, what was he worried about?

Lu Zhi took a deep look at Jia Xu and said solemnly: "Ben will understand!" Please tell me the enemy's plan first! General Ben would be curious to know how they came along with our army. ”

Jia Xu said with a calm face: "Actually, it's very simple, Ben Jiang just felt that there were many doubts from the information provided by Pei Yuanshao, so he made an analysis!" First of all, the first doubt, why did Yan Li's 50,000 army temporarily divide 15,000 troops to Ganling? And the main general sent is Yan Zheng, who has a gap with Yan Li, this person is still Zhang Bao's beloved disciple! Can we understand that King Ganling sacrificed a large amount of military rations after surrendering to the enemy, and the strict division of troops was to protect the military rations! ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "This kind of analysis is reasonable!" If I were Zhang Bao and suddenly got a lot of grain and grass, of course I would arrange it like this. At the same time, it can also avoid the disagreement caused by Yan Li and Yan Zheng brothers when commanding the troops, after all, as the main force of the outstanding strikers, their responsibilities are really important, and there is no room for mistakes! ”

"The last general now says the second suspicion!" Jia Xu's finger pointed at the giant deer on the map, "Zhang Bao's 100,000 army was supposed to be following Yan Li, why did it stagnate here?" ”

Lu Zhi groaned: "Pei Yuanshao said just now, Zhang Bao's reason is that there is a shortage of grain and grass, and the giant deer is only a hundred miles away from Ganling, so it should be waiting for supplies from the direction of Ganling, right?" ”

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "The general really hit the nail on the head!" Yes, the last general is worried about this, because the distance between Julu and Ganling is too close! ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"Let's talk about the third doubt!" Jia Xu didn't answer, but continued to take care of himself, "Pei Yuanshao unexpectedly discovered that the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang, Youzhou, had secretly infiltrated the territory of Jizhou! Don't you understand? ”

The generals are at a loss, do these three doubts have anything in common?

Only Lu Zhi's face changed drastically, he rushed to the map, and under careful observation, his body began to tremble, and he said in a lost voice: "You just said that the thief army is also secretly crossing Chencang like our army, do they want to detour from Ganling to Yanzhou?" ”

Jia Xu nodded with a heavy face: "I'm afraid there is only one explanation!" ”

"Detour to Yanzhou?" All the generals were stunned together, and someone blurted out: "Isn't the thief army going straight to the imperial capital?" How can it go further and further? ”

Only Pei Yuanshao looked at Jia Xu in horror, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"The last general also understands!" Gao Shun suddenly spoke, "Yan Li's intention to quickly approach the imperial capital will force the Han army from all walks of life to come back one after another, and this has completely fallen into the enemy's trick!" ”

"Why is that?" A lieutenant frowned and said, "Why do you say that as long as you attack Yan Li, you will already be in the scheme?" ”

"If you can't win the battle with Yan Li, of course the Han army from all walks of life will increase its troops one after another, if you win the battle, we will know from the mouth of the general that Yan Li still has Zhang Bao's 100,000 main force behind him, so we can only continue to attack or establish a defensive line to confront it! Either way, it will contain a large number of our troops! This is the enemy's trap!

Gao Shun said heavily: "Because, the so-called main force of the striker is just a bait that has been given up!" ”

He took a few steps forward, pointed to the map and said: "Zhang Bao's real intention should be to take advantage of the opportunity of the Han army to gather in the north, rendezvous with the Guangyang Yellow Turban, and then move to Ganling, using Ganling, an inexhaustible granary, to attack and occupy the entire territory of Yanzhou with Bocai, Peng Tuo and other subordinates!" ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and there was a sudden silence in the big tent.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "If their plan is successful, they will successfully cut off the north-south connection of the Han army, not only will the emperor not be protected, but the army of the southern route may also be wiped out!" ”

Dong Zhuo said slowly: "The Yellow Turban Thieves are just a group of rabble, are they really so clever?" ”

Jia Xu said bitterly: "I am almost certain that the enemy's plan should have changed so much halfway!" Otherwise, Guangyang's thief army would have already joined forces with Zhang Bao, and it would be impossible for their scouts to be discovered by Pei Yuanshao! From this point of view, their plan, although extremely secret and ingenious, was somewhat chaotic in its deployment! ”

He looked at Pei Yuanshao, whose face was like earth, and said in a daze: "Could it be that he got some guidance from a master temporarily?" ”

"Bang!" Lu Zhi slapped a case and shouted: "Gossip and don't mention it!" How will our army respond now! If you don't handle it well, it's a situation where the jade is burned! ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, general!" The most feared thing about any strategy is that there is no trace, as long as you understand the layout of the other party, there will be a-for-tat strategy! ”

Lu Zhixi said: "Master Jia is worthy of being a staff officer!" Just knowing the enemy's plan, have you already thought of countermeasures? ”

Jia Xu smiled proudly and said: "Although the enemy's plan is extremely ingenious, but people are not as good as heaven, and they have already revealed two flaws!" The first is that Yan Li's army has been wiped out in just a few days, which Zhang Bao can't imagine no matter what, which buys enough time for our army! The second is that the Guangyang Han army is still on the way to rendezvous, holding back Zhang Bao's footsteps. Because if he is not fully sure, he will never dare to move to Ganling, which can only make our army guess his movements in advance! ”

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up and said, "You mean to take the initiative!" ”

"Not bad!" Jia Xu flashed a trace of hesitation, "The best way is to attack in three ways!" Contain Zhang Bao's 100,000 main force all the way, find the traces of the Guangyang Han army all the way, and annihilate it, and the other way! ”

He took a deep breath before he said, "Capture Ganling!" ”

"What!" The generals will lose color together.

Wu Huan exclaimed: "Zhang Bao's army is 100,000, Guangyang's thief army is 50,000, and Ganling has received 15,000 reinforcements from Yan Zheng, and there are at least 20,000 defenders!" That's 170,000 troops! And our army is less than 40,000, how can we meet it in three directions? ”

The generals also began to talk in unison.

"Shut up Ben!" Lu Zhi shouted, "Although Lord Jia's strategy is risky, it is indeed the most appropriate way!" ”

He bowed his head and pondered: "Zhang Bao has an army of 100,000, so our army must have at least 20,000 elite soldiers to meet the enemy no matter what!" Although there are 50,000 Han troops in Guangyang, they are also weak in combat power due to the expedition. As long as there are 15,000 soldiers and horses, they should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop in the event of a surprise! ”

"The most annoying thing is!" Lu Zhi's brows furrowed, "There are 20,000 defenders in Ganling, how can our army only use less than 5,000 soldiers and horses to take it down!" ”

One general spoke: "General! In this case, then our army can give up the capture of Ganling! ”

"No!" Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "If Zhang Bao suddenly moves to Ganling, our army may not be able to stop it with only 20,000 horses, and once the two places are combined, the hundreds of thousands of thief troops will have enough food and grass." Then our army will be defeated! ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Zi! If you give Ben 15,000 men and horses, you will definitely be able to capture Ganling in the fastest time! ”

Nan Ying saw that he looked like no one else, and his heart felt uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't help but say: "Lord Zhonglang, if you lead 15,000 troops to take Ganling, there will only be 5,000 soldiers and horses left to meet the Guangyang thief army, it seems inappropriate to do this!" ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, I believe that as long as the five thousand soldiers and horses are used properly, although they cannot annihilate the fifty thousand Guangyang thief army, there should be no problem in holding them back!" ”

Nanying blurted out: "Five thousand to fifty thousand? Isn't Nakaro Shogun joking? ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes: "Nan Sima's words are wrong!" Didn't you defeat the 35,000 army of Yan with 3,500 soldiers and horses? Therefore, the key is not in the strength of the troops, but in the ability of the generals who lead the troops! ”

Nanying sneered: "Listening to the tone of General Zhonglang, it seems that he wants the end of the future to complete this task!" ”

Dong Zhuo said earnestly: "Nan Sima has misunderstood this general!" You have fought hard for many days, but how can you be so disrespectful of human feelings? Of course, it's another good fighter! ”

Nan Ying's heart did not hesitate slightly, and said casually: "Oh? I wonder which general Nakaro wants to send to battle? ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes swept over the generals, and everywhere he looked, the five lieutenants all lowered their heads in silence, and at the same time scolded in their hearts, what are you kidding? Nan Sima is one enemy ten, there is an inner Yellow City can be defended, and now with one enemy ten, but it is looking for the enemy to take the initiative to attack, how is this different from seeking death?

Dong Zhuo's gaze finally settled on the first general, and he said happily: "Gao Sima is both civil and military, and he killed the enemy's main general on the spot in a suitable battle, and he can go to meet the enemy with a great victory!" ”

Gao Shunmu raised his head expressionlessly and did not speak. The five lieutenants also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What!" Only Nan Ying and Jia Xu were shocked, and their eyes erupted with anger that could not be concealed.

Lu Zhi looked at Gao Shun with some embarrassment, although he also admired Gao Shun, but he had to admit that Dong Zhuo's words had a certain truth, and among the generals present, there was only Gao Shun who had the ability to complete this task, except for Nanying. But in this way, it is equivalent to sending Gao Shun into the tiger's mouth, although the battle of Neihuang is dangerous, but there is still a lot of vitality, far less than the bad situation this time.

Lu Zhi was at war in his heart, and said with difficulty: "I don't know what Gao Sima wants?" If you think you're not sure, just say it! ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Gao Sima should have no problem!" Now is the time for your rising stars to make a difference! ”

Nanying listened with anger and clenched his fists tightly. Okay, you Dong thief, you must have been resentful of yourself for making great contributions to yourself before, and you saw the relationship between Gao Shun and yourself, so you came up with this way to take the opportunity to announce your personal vendetta!

He turned his gaze and suddenly saw Pei Yuanshao who was standing on the side, and an extremely crazy idea came to him.

Gao Shun hadn't spoken yet, only to hear Nanying look up to the sky and laugh: "What's so difficult about this? I'm afraid General Gao can't even raise his interest! ”

Dong Zhuo's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Does Nan Sima want to rise up and make new contributions?" ”

Nan Ying's eyes were like knives, and he didn't let him look at him at all and said, "Not bad! That's exactly what the last general means! ”

Gao Shun's face was pale, and he stepped forward and said, "Nan Sima, please don't compete with this general!" ”

Lu Zhi also hurriedly said: "Nan Sima, how can your current body fight against the Guangyang Thief Army again?" Why don't you wait for the long term? ”

Nan Ying gave a salute and said, "The general has misunderstood!" The last general didn't want to fight the Guangyang thief army, but wanted to take over the task of capturing Ganling! ”

As soon as these words came out, the tent fell silent again. Anyone can hear that Nanying is an immediate counterattack in response to Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

Dong Zhuo's broad face twitched slightly, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he said slowly after a while: "Nan Sima is young and vigorous after all, how can he be so ignorant?" Don't think that if you have done great things before, you will be blind! ”

Nan Ying laughed and said, "Didn't General Zhonglang just say that now is the time for us rising stars to make contributions?" Why do you want to compete with young people now! ”

Dong Zhuo's face turned gloomy: "Nan Sima, do you really think that you can capture Ganling with 15,000 men and horses?" ”

"Fifteen thousand?" Nan Ying was stunned and said, "No, no, no! Of course, the last general will not lead 15,000 men and horses to attack Ganling! ”

All the generals exhaled together, do you think you kid is so good?

Lu Zhi also flashed a complicated look, yes, 15,000 people to attack a city garrisoned by 20,000 people, of course, the difficulty is too great!

Dong Zhuo said with a smug look: "But! The general has 15,000 men and horses, but he has ........."

"Five hundred!" Nanying's slow voice came, and Dong Zhuo's smile immediately froze on his face, "The last general only leads five hundred men and horses, which is enough to capture Ganling!" ”

Nan Ying turned around and said proudly to Dong Zhuo, who was stunned: "Of course, if General Zhonglang also thinks that Ganling can be captured with only five hundred men and horses, the last general will not dare to fight!" ”

"After all!" He smiled and said, "The last general has always respected the old and loved the young!"

PS: Alas! I was too lazy to make up some yellow turban generals, and I directly took Pei Yuanshao and Yan Zheng, the two brothers, from the romance!
