On the 25th of the leap month, Pei Guo led the Huazhou army to Shayuan. The two armies met, but seeing that the banners of the states in the yellow sand were clear, and nearly 30,000 troops were pressed together in one place, the momentum was really not small.

There are still some generals who secretly complain that Pei Guo abandoned the front line of the river, and his gaze can't help but be a little cold when he looks at him. Pei Guo couldn't see it, walked straight to Yuwentai, and said with a smile: "The whole army of Huazhou is here, let Dacheng send it!" ”

"Where's my turn?" Yuwentai also smiled: "This time it's all Xiaokuan's final say!" If you say you don't keep the river, then you don't keep the river; If you say that you abandoned Feng Yi, then you abandoned Feng Yi. Now that I have arrived at this sand garden, there is no turning back. Come on, come on, Xiaokuan might as well teach me, but how to break the enemy? ”

For a while, countless pairs of eyes were all on Pei Guo alone, there were those who were envious, there were those who believed in it, and there was no shortage of those who were jealous. Pei Guo is still like no one around, and he doesn't make the slightest humble excuse, that kind of momentum is really called "who else is me": "Then I'll say it?" ”

He Batsheng was beside him, immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Tell me!" What nonsense! ”

"When the thieves crossed the river and saw that our army had abandoned all the way, they must have thought that our army was cowardly and would have the heart of underestimating the enemy. Its desire for revenge will most likely lead the front army to kill in a hurry. Our army is here to work at ease, but if we have to defeat its front army with a drum, then this battle... It can be said that it is also resistant! ”

He Batsheng glared, and said angrily: "These statements have already been made clear by the black otter with us, and the little fruit will be said at this time, but it is really not fresh enough." If you have the ability, let's talk about how to defeat the high thief striker! ”

"Oh?" Pei Guo's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "In this way, I coincide with the prime minister." Good! Great goodness! ”

"Fruit! You're going to play like that again... He Batsheng looked anxious: "I, I, I, I... "My mouth was open for a long time, but I couldn't say one, two, three.

When the generals saw that He Batsheng was like this, they burst out laughing. The atmosphere in the field suddenly became much more relaxed, and everyone talked and laughed, as if the 200,000 East thieves who were about to be killed were suddenly not so terrifying.

At this time, Pei Guo put away the smile on his face, and said: "Prime Minister Dacheng chose this sand garden as the place to meet the East Thief, it's really wonderful!" Imagine that the eastern thief came from Feng Yi in Huazhou, if he wanted to get here, he had to cross Luoshui first, which was already an obstacle, and when he reached the south bank, Xu Yuan was not wide enough. It is conceivable that no matter how many thieves there are, they hate to be unable to show it. Although our army is only 30,000, it is enough to confront it head-on! ”

"When did Xiaokuan learn to speak flattering words like this?" Yuwentai laughed: "Obviously, you deliberately let Feng Yicheng as bait, and the thief is greedy for merit, and he will definitely plunge into Feng Yicheng." When he set off from Feng Yi and came to Shayuan again, did he have to cross Luoshui first and then set foot in Xu Yuan as you said? ”

I see! When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

Hou Mo Chen Chong thought for a while, and interjected: "This sand garden is dozens of miles away, and it is indeed a place for a decisive battle. It's just that the iron cavalry of the East Thief is extremely numerous, far more than me, this flat sand is the most suitable for iron cavalry, if there is a decisive battle here, will our army suffer some losses? ”

"Ah Chong, this is to the point!" Pei Guo nodded: "The sand garden is vast, and you can't just point to this decisive battle." It is time to choose carefully, so that you can take advantage of the terrain and destroy the enemy! ”

"Oh?" Yu Wentai's face was solemn: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Pei Guo cleared his throat and said loudly: "The sand garden is convex on the outside and concave on the inside, and the middle is a valley, so we must not put the army in it, otherwise the East Thief Iron Cavalry will rush condescendingly, and our army will not fall to death?" ”

"Yes, yes." Yu Wentai nodded and said, "Resist the enemy on the periphery of the sand garden." It's just the south, the south, the north, the west, but where should it be chosen? ”

"How about the south of the Garrison Sand Garden?" Hou Mo Chen Chong spoke again: "In this way, our army has its back against the Wei River, so that the eastern thieves will attack behind it, and we will have a steady supply of weapons and baggage on the boat." When the thieves came from the north to the south, they were trapped in the valley of the hollow, and our army was not in a condescending position? ”

"No!" Pei Guo shook his head and said, "If our army retreats too south, we will not be able to suppress the Eastern Thief on Xu Yuan." After all, the eastern thief is powerful, if most of the sand garden is surrendered, then the 30,000 horses of our army can resist the enemy head-on. What's more, the thief is not a fool, he can bypass the valley and attack from the two wings of the sand garden, and we can't take advantage of him. ”

"In this case, the north side of the sand garden must not work." Hou Mo Chen Chong was not discouraged at all, and then said: "First, it is far away from the Wei River, and it is difficult to respond; Second, the back of the sand garden valley, the depth is too narrow, and there is no room for turning. ”

"Well said!" Pei Guo said with a smile: "So this decisive battle is only at the east and west ends of Shayuan!" ”

Speaking of this, Pei Guo paused slightly. The generals in the audience can't wait, you and I have already talked about it.

Half of the Thai people felt that it was better to choose the west end of the sand garden. Without him, it is only because the east end of Shayuan is close to Weiqu (that is, the confluence of the Wei River and Luoshui), the terrain is narrow, and it is difficult to perform. And here the two rivers meet, the swamps are vertical and horizontal, it is actually muddy, and the troops are deployed here, isn't it asking for hardship? In addition, the west end of Shayuan is closer to Chang'an, in case something is not done, when you want to retreat to Chang'an, isn't it more convenient?

Unexpectedly, when Pei Guo spoke again, one sentence was shocking: "If you want to win this battle, you must lead the thief to a decisive battle at the east end of Shayuan!" ”

There was a lot of uproar in the room. Yu Wentai remained silent: "What's the explanation? ”

"The west of the sand garden is nothing more than the flat sand with the broad plain, for our army, how can there be any geographical advantage? On the contrary, it is the east of the sand garden, successive Weiqu, the so-called water swamp muddy, is it not the taboo of the East Thief Iron Rider? ”

"Reasonable!"

"Our army can put the cavalry in the sand, meet the eastern thieves head-on, and lay the foot soldiers in Weiqu. At this time, there are reeds growing in the Weiqu mud, which can hide the traces of the army. When the eastern thief was entangled with our cavalry, the Weiqu ambush suddenly came out, and the eastern thief was caught off guard, wouldn't he be defeated? ”

Yu Wentai's eyes lit up: "Good! Sure enough, it's a good plan! After a pause, he suddenly frowned again and said: "The high thieves are also old soldiers, and those who can recruit good fighters under their command are not counted, so I am afraid... I'm afraid that he will see our army's ambush plan. ”

"That's why I said that I would lure the thieves to the east of Shayuan for a decisive battle." Pei Guo said with a smile: "I mean, the foot soldiers can lie in Weiqu early, but the cavalry will be placed elsewhere at the beginning, and they will fight to the east to lead Weiqu." In this way, the thief can't afford to be suspicious. ”

"Good plan! Good plan! Yu Jin also clapped his hands and praised at this time, and added: "It's just that in this way, the burden on the shoulders of the cavalry brothers is very heavy." ”

"No matter how heavy it is, you have to carry it!" Yu Wentai's voice was sonorous: "I have made up my mind, this time I will fight to the death with the high thief in the east of Shayuan according to the plan of filial piety!" I should lead the cavalry with the princes, and do my best to deal with the thieves. There are many foot soldiers in the Huazhou army, so the task of ambushing the soldiers will be handed over to Xiaokuan. ”

Including Pei Guo, the generals responded with a bang.

The plan has been decided, and the next thing is to make all kinds of arrangements, and it will take some time for the thief to come here, so he should take advantage of the flaws to rest and get the benefits of waiting for work.

Pei Guo elaborated on it, and taught the Western Army to have peace in their hearts. Following Yuwentai, all the generals have confidence.

At this time, Da Xi Wu came up, hugged his fists and said: "Pei Gong is talented!" Da Xiwu admires it so much! ”

"Where, where."

"It is said that Pei Gong is a soldier, and the mantle of Chen Qingzhi, a white-robed ghost handsome man in Chengnan Liang, is the best at making use of Qi. Now it seems that whether it is the previous sneak attack on Dou Tai, or the ambush of Weiqu this time, it is indeed worthy of the name! ”

"Not really." Pei Guo narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "The way of using soldiers, virtual and real, strange and upright, how can there be a fixed situation?" Whenever ... ”

Before he finished speaking, He Batsheng had already shouted, and he interrupted him: "Stop, stop!" I said fruit, fruit, now you not only flatter and speak well, but also talk big with one mouth, but also call it boundless and unscored! ”

Everyone laughed.
