Chapter 559: Zhou Yu's Strategy
Zhou Yu spoke, and a confident expression leaked from his face, this was the second time Zhu Hao had been in contact with Zhou Yu for so long and had seen Zhou Yu's confident expression.
The first time was Zhu Hao, when Zhou Yu was asked to train a sailor, Zhou Yu's face had similar confidence.
Zhou Yu paused slightly as he spoke, and then said:
"The subordinates said that the first reason for letting Jianyu go through the Guangning defense line is that our current forces want to resist the attack of Jianyu's men and horses, and the possibility is too low!"
"The second reason is that the disadvantage that His Highness is worried about our army will be in is also the weakness of Jianjiao!"
"Your Highness can order, General Guan Gu Liaoyang, don't be in a hurry to recover the lost territory!"
"Let General Guan keep an eye on Jianyu's men and horses, and as long as Jianyu's men and horses cross the Liao River, they will attack."
"At this time, all my soldiers and horses in Guangning also attacked at the same time, cooperating with General Guan to exterminate this military force of Jianjiao!"
"At that time, the one who will be attacked by the enemy will be Jianyu!"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhou Yu's words, pouted and said:
"Zhou Dudu, you are whimsical, ready to put His Highness to death!"
"Now in our Guangning City, there are less than 50,000 people who can fight, and General Guan belongs to only 100,000, do you think 150,000 against 150,000, if you want to annihilate, is it possible?"
Zhou Yu's own strength is not very large, and when Cheng Biting Jin snatched the white three times twice, a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately snorted coldly and said:
"General Cheng, forget it if you are a fool yourself, don't use your logic to analyze the words of the governor of Pontus!"
"Pontus's words, I haven't finished speaking, Your Highness is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"
Cheng Biting Jin listened to Zhou Yu replying to him, Cheng Biting Jin, who had never suffered losses, immediately felt a little impatient, ready to use force, and unconsciously touched the sword on his waist.
At this time, Zhu Hao felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, and immediately coughed lightly, and then said:
"Alright, don't argue!"
"General Cheng, you go down and inspect the defense situation in the city for this king!"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, naturally he didn't dare to be disobedient, and immediately glanced at Zhou Yu dissatisfied, and then left angrily.
Looking at the back of Cheng Biting Jin's withdrawal, Zhu Hao shook his head helplessly, and then said to Zhou Yu:
"Zhou Dudu, this General Cheng is a straight man, he has no malicious intent, you don't want to be like him!"
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately felt that he had just lost his temper, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Hao:
"Your Highness, your subordinates have just lost their temper, please punish Your Highness!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words, waved his hand and said:
"You are also temperamental, and General Cheng was indeed a little excessive just now, if this king punishes you, won't it be a matter of right and wrong?"
"Okay, let's not talk about that, you can continue!"
"This king is very interested in your plan!"
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, saluted Zhou again, and then said:
"Your Highness, if it is a normal situation, what General Cheng said just now, there is nothing wrong with what he said, but if this Jianyu wants to pass through Guangning and go to the hinterland of Liaodong, then he must pass through the Liao River!"
"At this time, it is the flood season, the water level of the Liao River is rising, and it is impossible to step on the Liao River!"
"If these soldiers and horses want to cross the river, they can only use boats!"
"And as long as they choose to take a boat, then their time of death has come!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhou Yu's words, "Oh? He spoke:
"Please Governor Zhou, tell me in detail, why Jianyu chose to cross the river by boat, that is, the time of death has arrived?"
Zhou Yu listened to Zhu Hao's words, smiled slightly:
"Your Highness, you are knowingly asking!"
"The subordinates are the governors of the water divisions, and this water war is the duty of the subordinates!"
"Besides, Your Highness, have you forgotten the Water Ghost Army?"
Zhou Yu mentioned the water ghost troops, which made Zhu Hao's eyes light up, and he completely understood Zhou Yu's plan, but then, he reacted, at this moment, the water ghost troops are still in Fujian, and the big war is about to begin, and now it is too late to fall from Fujian.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hao, when he opened his mouth to say it, the doubts in his heart, Zhou Yu heard Zhu Hao's words, and smiled slightly:
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that the water ghost army is trained by your subordinates, as long as you give your subordinates ten days, your subordinates can train another water ghost army to contribute to the annihilation of Jianyu's soldiers and horses!"
Zhu Hao heard Zhou Yu say this, and then there was a smile on his face, and then he said:
"Okay, since that's the case, there is the governor of Lao Zhou!"
"Blocking the Jianyu people for ten days, this king still has confidence!"
"This will also confuse them, and when they are allowed to rush through Quang Ninh City, they will think that this king is powerless to stop them, and this will also make them belong to the guard!"
After Zhu Hao and Zhou Yu discussed, Zhou Yu went to each army to select sergeants and train them into water ghost troops, while Zhu Hao asked people to go to Liaoyang with his secret letter and hand it over to Guan Yu.
Zhu Hao ordered Guan Yu to set up an ambush on the bank of the Liao River, and after seeing the Jianyu boat, he appeared to block it.
Guan Yu received Zhu Hao's order, although he didn't understand Zhu Hao's true intentions, but he was a general, so he naturally had to act according to the military order.
Therefore, after Guan Yu received Zhu Hao's order, he immediately set up an ambush on the bank of the Liao River, and at the same time hid hundreds of red-clothed cannons.
Zhu Hao was in full swing of preparations, Huang Taiji also received the news of the loss of Liaoyang, after getting this news, Huang Taiji, who was already in the hinterland of Liaodong and had no more important towns, was angry on the spot, and immediately ordered to break through the Guangning defense line at all costs and rescue the hinterland of Liaodong.
Zhang Liao, who was already the commander of Houjin, faintly felt that something was wrong after hearing Huang Taiji's order, so he immediately went to see Huang Taiji and said:
"Your Majesty, although Liaoyang has been lost, but the Ming army is undecided, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, the last general suggested that Your Majesty, it is better not to act rashly, wait and see what the Ming army is trying to do!"
Huang Taiji listened to Zhang Liao's words, his eyebrows twisted, and he said in a somewhat unkind tone:
"Wait and see?"
"If I wait and see what happens, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in Liaodong anymore!"
"Don't you want to know the intentions of the Ming army?"
"I'll tell you now, Zhu Youzhen is a child, just want to force me to death and force me to escape into the mountains!"
"You let me watch the changes, do you want me to be killed?"
"Humph!"
Zhang Liao looked at Huang Taiji, who had lost his mind, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, but he did not understand what kind of conspiracy the Ming army would have, he just instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it.
Therefore, Zhang Liao, who did not analyze clearly, could only give up persuading Huang Taiji in the end and retreated silently.
