Chapter 493: If you go outside, you must first settle inside
Without waiting for everyone to understand what they meant, Zhang Shumo immediately began to write a reply to Wu Tai. The opponent has 70,000 people defending the city, and he will definitely not be able to defeat him, so it is better to lure the opponent out and give full play to the greatest advantage of the cavalry in the open territory!
Soon, Zhang Shumo wrote a reply letter and asked Liu to send it out naturally.
Everyone hurriedly asked, "Childe has thought of a countermeasure?" ”
Zhang Shumo originally wanted to nod, but he still stopped: "It's not a countermeasure, it's just a test of Zhang Yu." ”
Time came to the fourth, and Wu Tai finally received a reply from Zhang Shumo, so he immediately recruited Liang Li.
Liang Li couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhang Shumo's reply: "Zhang Gongzi is not going to come?" He's trying to ruin his reputation! ”
Wu Tai sighed on the side: "Zhang Gongzi is also helpless, now he only has 20,000 cavalry in his hands, even if he adds the 5,000 cavalry borrowed by the Western Route Army, it can't be compared with Zhang Yu's 70,000 soldiers and horses." What else could he do but gather a large army to come? Did you take the initiative to send you to death? ”
Liang Li couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, let's just wait and see what happens!" ”
In Cai's mansion, Cai Dao listened to Xia Rao's report, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: This matter is getting more and more interesting, should he take some action while the two brothers are fighting? Forget it, these two people are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as they don't help each other, they can keep the Cai family peaceful, it's better to be safe.
Liang Li came out of Wutai's house, spared a few laps in the city, and went directly to the palace to report the matter to Zhang Yu.
As soon as he saw Zhang Yu, Liang Li hurriedly said: "Young Master Yu, Zhang Shumo only has 20,000 cavalry in his hands, and he borrowed 5,000 cavalry from the Western Route Army, which should still be on the road." However, after learning that Gongzi had 70,000 horses under his command, he decided not to attend Zhang Lu's funeral, he was going to camp on the north bank of the Qinhe River, and then mobilize troops and horses, and wait for the army to arrive and directly attack Qinyang City! ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he suddenly got up and slapped the table fiercely: "Damn Zhang Shumo, he doesn't even have the courage to do this, causing me to arrange so many things in vain!" ”
Xu Yi hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, if Zhang Shumo doesn't come, Childe can take the opportunity to go around to publicize his great unfilial piety, so that he will have no face and return to Qinyang City!" ”
Wu Ang on the side said: "Why is it so troublesome, since he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, why can't we directly send a large army to destroy him, this can be regarded as a hundred!" ”
Xu Yi hurriedly reminded: "Don't be careless, the north bank of the Qin River is a great plain, don't look at the other party's only 20,000 cavalry, if you rush to kill, the disadvantage of our infantry will be revealed!" ”
"Mr. Xu, I respect you as Yu Gongzi's teacher, so I am polite to you, but why do you want to grow others' morale to destroy our prestige?" Wu Ang asked unhappily.
Wu Yu on the side snorted coldly and said to Wu Ang: "Presumptuous! It's not your uncle, who asked you to read more military books in the past, but you just don't read them, I ask you, how do infantry deal with cavalry? ”
Wu Ang said unconvinced: "I naturally know that as long as the infantry is in formation, even if the cavalry rushes over, it will have the power to fight!" ”
"Good! Then let me ask you again, what will you do if the cavalry wants to run? ”
"Then I'll chase it!"
"Is the pursuit going to be in formation? If it is in formation, how fast is the infantry pursuing the cavalry? ”
"Then I won't line up." Wu Ang continued.
Wu Yu snorted coldly after hearing this: "If you don't line up, what if the other party launches a counterattack?" What are you going to do to stop other people's cavalry? ”
Wu Ang immediately blushed when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Then, then I will, I will withdraw the army, and I will not chase the general, right?" ”
Wu Yu wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Yu had already understood what Wu Yu meant, and directly interrupted: "Okay, I understand." Zhang Shumo chose to camp on the north bank of the Qin River, just because he wanted to attack, retreat, and defend. But after all, he's also gathering an army, so we can't just wait, right? ”
Xu Yi immediately said: "Childe, the back wall of Qinyang City is high, we have 70,000 people to defend the city, if Zhang Shumo can't get together 200,000 people, don't want to break through Qinyang." ”
Who knew that Zhang Yu snorted coldly: "I naturally know this, but what if Zhang Shumo wants to besiege and not attack?" As long as he holds the other regions outside of Qinyang in his own hands, and then fences off Qinyang City, how long can we resist? ”
"If he really dares to do this, we will withdraw the army from the south, and if we don't want the south, we will also eradicate Zhang Shumo!" Xu Yi also said-for-tat.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he calmed down a little: "Okay, in that case, as long as Zhang Shumo doesn't come to Zhang Lu's funeral, let's let the people of the whole country know that he is a big unfilial person!" ”
Xu Yi added: "When Chen Guang went to the northwest to explore Zhang Shumo, he also heard that Su Yi, the son of the former general Zhenxi, was very dissatisfied with Zhang Shumo, and the son could let Chen Guang go to the northwest again, bring Su Yi to Qinyang City, and let him give examples of Zhang Shumo's bad deeds. ”
Zhang Yu couldn't help but applaud when he heard it: "Okay! I'll let Chen Guang go to the northwest again! ”
As soon as the words fell, a eunuch hurriedly ran in: "Young Master Yu, there are heralds from the south outside the palace, eight hundred miles are urgent, there is something important to report to you!" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Quick, announce him in!" ”
After a while, the herald came to Zhang Yu's house, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Young Master Yu, Zheng Guo suddenly attacked the inner capital, and Zheng led an army of 100,000 to attack the inner capital, and asked his subordinates to take 200,000 troops to block the reinforcements. Now the inner capital has been lost, but our army has also captured the city! ”
Zhang Yu jumped up from the chair directly when he heard this: "What!?" The hateful Zheng Gu, he actually doesn't talk about credit! Did this Sima Xiao grow up eating? Nearly 100,000 people defending the city can still lose the city guard? ”
The herald hurriedly said: "My lord, when the enemy army attacked the city, Sima Xiao sent his son Sima Xue out of the city with 50,000 elites, so this gave Zheng Gu an opportunity!" However, Sima Xiao had already died in battle, and Sima Xue took refuge in General Wuwei. ”
Zhang Yu stomped his feet angrily: "Sima Xiao! There is more than enough success and more defeat, and now the army is caught in the war in the south and cannot be withdrawn, if Zhang Shumo knows about this, he will definitely plot against Qinyang City! ”
"Yu Gongzi, it's better for us to send someone to ambush on the north bank of the Qin River in advance, and when Zhang Shumo arrives with people, let's directly exterminate it to get rid of the big trouble!" Wu Ang proposed the matter again.
Xu Yi said: "No, now that the enemy country is invading, we must not have internal friction, otherwise it will give Zheng Guo a chance to take advantage of!" ”
Who knew that Zhang Yu clenched his fists: "If Zhang Shumo is not removed, I am like a fish in my throat, and it is difficult to deal with Zheng Guo with peace of mind!" As the saying goes, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, I have already decided, and I will act according to Wu Ang's plan! ”
