Chapter 802: Victory and Surrender

The time and place are favorable, Mencius once said that the time is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people. But in fact, it is often the most terrible existence. The demise of many dynasties has a lot to do with the time of heaven, frequent earthquakes, widespread plagues, continuous droughts and floods, and the serious impact of the Xiaoice River on agriculture, these natural disasters are unimaginable blows to the dynasty. Although the root cause of the dynasty's demise was man-made disasters, the horror of natural disasters cannot be ignored.

In the military, the importance of time is becoming more and more prominent. Needless to say, Liu Xiu's open-mindedness is needless to say, the fiasco of Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and the change in wind direction at that time were also important reasons. Relying on the time, many times you can fight incredible battles and turn the tide of the battle with fewer victories.

When he felt the blowing wind, Huang Zhong knew that he had lost. This sudden appearance of the wind was definitely not something that could be manipulated by the spirit of one or two strategists, although the gust of wind just now was only surrounded by the two of them, it was only a few meters away, and the horror of the wind speed at that moment almost made him a little unstable on his feet. If Liu Bei really launched a fire attack last night, he and the tens of thousands of troops he led would probably be wiped out.

"Since Xuan Degong can manipulate the heavens like this, he doesn't know why he hasn't revealed this technique until now?" Huang Zhong couldn't help but speak.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth were slightly bitter: "How can manpower be easily controllable?" If you don't have no way out now, how can you perform this technique? What's more, such a method can only be successfully implemented when the other party has no precautionary heart, and can only be used at the most critical time. ”

Huang Zhong bowed slightly, what Liu Bei said was quite honest. Although it is powerful to manipulate the direction of the cloud and mist wind in this way, the cost and time required are definitely not short, and it is not quiet, the faint fluctuation before the fog condensation wind rises can definitely be detected if you have the intention to prevent it, and I didn't expect Liu Bei to have such means Huang Zhongcai was overlooked for a while.

Taking a step back, Huang Zhong didn't notice it carelessly, as long as he added troops to guard a city gate, even if the retreat was not blocked. But it's a pity that Huang Zhong didn't expect this kind of operation, not to mention that all the troops were concentrated on the city wall, and he also prepared boulders and fire oil at the city gate to prevent the opposite side from sneaking into the city at night. It was originally to prevent the opponent's attack, but it turned out to be almost cocooned.

Liu Bei's method is basically a trump card, once it is revealed, the power is instantly reduced, and only when it is shown for the first time can its power be fully exerted.

"Today, Bei came alone and had such a secret conversation with the general, I also hope that the general can keep this secret for Bei, and don't let anyone know about this matter except Yuan Gong, and I hope the general will agree." Liu Bei said with a solemn face.

"Does Xuande Gong believe in loyalty like this? This matter is subject to His Majesty's consent. Huang Zhong looked at Liu Bei with trust in his eyes, and couldn't help but say.

"The general is a man, and he has heard of it a little. Loyal to the liver and courage, a promise of a thousand gold, now when I see it, I believe it even more. And Yuan Gong, since he has such courage and tolerance, he will definitely take the initiative to hide it, after all, Yuan Gong's ambition is not only the land of Shenzhou. Liu Bei said with great confidence.

If it hadn't been for constant deliberation, how would he have used this hole card? You must know that this hole card is used well, it is Wang Bang, which is enough to turn the tide of the battle, and it is meaningless to throw it out at will.

He had fought against Yuan Shu countless times, and even when the situation was at its worst, Liu Bei did not have the slightest intention of using this hole card. The reason is simple, he has not been cornered yet, and he has not seized the opportunity to severely damage Yuan Shu once.

Yuan Shu's behavior of being old and developing is really helpless, but when it comes to internal affairs, they can't handle Yuan Shu, which is very uncomfortable.

Each dispatch of troops has never exceeded half of the total force, and the strength of the rear garrison city is not much worse than the attacking force, and the parties are scattered, each other is a horn, and the large rear can be transferred at any time to fill the gap. With such a drop of water, Liu Bei asked himself that even if he wins, he can't take any advantage.

If Yuan Shu was not so "Gou" and could send a main force of four or five hundred thousand to fight head-on, Liu Bei might still be interested in repeating the battle of Kunyang. It is still possible not to ask for Yuan Shu to be directly abolished, and to recover the territory north of the Yangtze River for development. But it's a pity that Yuan Shu didn't give him the slightest chance.

As for capturing the thief and capturing the king, looking for an opportunity to kill Yuan Shu, I really think that trapping the camp and the Tiger Ben Army are decorations! That's the absolute elite who can at least be one against ten. Moreover, these two army soul legions seem to be infantry, but Liu Bei knows the details, and converting into cavalry is a matter of the last horse, and it does not affect its combat power at all. Coupled with the two bodyguards of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Yuan Shu really didn't have anyone to stop him if he wanted to escape.

It was with this spirit of "Gou" that Yuan Shu made Liu Bei and Cao Cao feel the despair caused by the absolute gap in national strength in advance, and refreshed their concept of war.

Fight against Yuan Shu. If you win, the other party will only hurt the skin, and at most you will take a small advantage, and you may even lose. And if you lose, you will cut the land and suffer heavy losses. How can this situation be broken? It's useless to win nine out of ten battles, because of productivity, social structure, and population, the weaker and weaker you become, the stronger the other side becomes, and you lose before the war starts.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhong's eyes changed when he looked at Liu Bei, containing a little admiration and a little pity at the same time.

This is the real yin person! It's a pity that if he hadn't met his own majesty, the same yin ...... People who are also cautious and steady may really be able to turn the situation around the world by them.

At the same time, Huang Zhong was also a little more cautious in his heart. The princes of the world can't be underestimated! Those who can survive until now, which one does not have a few hole cards! Before, I still had some doubts about His Majesty's use of troops too forward-looking, but now it seems that he is naïve. The game of winning steadily is still playing steadily, otherwise it will be overturned if it is not good, and there are few examples of winning the game but dying by yourself throughout the ages?

"Xuande Gong is honest and loyal. This battle was loyally defeated, thank you Xuan Degong for showing mercy to my army, and Zhong Zhong promised not to inform anyone except to report to His Majesty. But how Your Majesty decides depends on your Xuande Gong's creation. Huang Zhong said solemnly.

Hearing this, Liu Bei laughed happily. It's done!

He and Chen Qun spent countless efforts on this matter, but fortunately, the result lived up to their expectations.

It is inevitable to admit defeat to Yuan Shu, but how to admit defeat, the meaning of different ways is never the same, and the situation in front of him is already the best ending that Liu Bei can think of.

Win! made Huang Zhong lose convincingly, and also sold his favor. The lives of the tens of thousands of soldiers who survived the disaster were enough to calm the anger and resistance of many soldiers in the Chu army, and it was also a kind of easing of the relationship between the two sides.

Secondly, he surrendered as a "victor", so as not to let the people of the Chu army and the people under his command look down on him too much. It can only be said that his defeat was not a crime of war, but a forced situation and an untimely situation.

Of course, Liu Bei's careful thoughts can't hide from Yuan Shu's eyes, but Liu Bei knows that Yuan Shu will probably not care if he sees it. How do the strong care about the thoughts of ants? Such an insignificant little thing had no value for Yuan Shu to pay attention to.

Although it hurts to think like this, Liu Bei also has to admit that he is just an ant who can be manipulated at will in Yuan Shu's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some ability and some value, I am afraid that Yuan Shu would not give himself a chance at all, and he might just crush himself to death.
