Chapter 230: Yang Xue offers a plan
Ji Wen angrily set up the table and asked everyone for countermeasures, and everyone fell silent, as if they were thinking about something.
After a long time, Ma Hua said slowly: "Since the other party is prepared, we must not divide our troops, otherwise we may be defeated by the enemy army." According to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, our army should be merged into one as soon as possible. ”
"And then? And then just go head-to-head with the enemy? Ji Wen was still dissatisfied, obviously in his eyes, Ma Hua's proposal was not a ploy at all.
Seeing that Ji Wen's words were quite ironic, Ma Hua also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. In Ma Hua's opinion, what else can be done in the current situation except to fight with the enemy with real swords and guns?
The crowd fell silent again. Yang Xue saw that the time was ripe, so she said to Ji Wen: "Lord Wang, the concubine has some ideas that I don't know whether to talk about or not?" ”
As soon as Yang Xue spoke, Hao Yang's heart immediately became vigilant: if Yang Xue's plan was towards Zhang Shumo, he would have to express his doubts to the prince!
Seeing that no one else could think of a way, Ji Wen could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, so he nodded directly to Yang Xue: "Speak!" ”
Yang Xue received the approval and immediately said: "In the eyes of the concubines, at the moment, we can only take advantage of the fact that the opponent's army has not yet converged, we can gather troops and horses and use the advantage in numbers to catch them off guard!" ”
Hearing this, Ji Wen's eyes immediately lit up: Yes, although several enemy forces have rushed to Qinghua City now, they have not converged. In the last period, the 20,000 soldiers in the city sealed the city gate and could not get out for a while; The 30,000 men of the Wuxiu Army and the Yiyang Army in the south are still on the way; You can take the opportunity to eat Jiao Qiang's 10,000 people first!
Thinking of this, Ji Wen said excitedly: "Concubine Ai is right! We can now pretend to attack Qinghua City, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack Jiao Qiang, he is only 10,000 horses, how can we more than 60,000 people annihilate half of his men! ”
Before everyone had time to praise Ji Wen, Yang Xue immediately said: "Lord Wang, the concubine thinks that we should give priority to attacking Zhang Shumo!" ”
Ji Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Xue: "Why did Concubine Ai say this?" Do you think that the king's plan is not feasible? ”
"It's not that it's not feasible, it's that it's not worth it! Jiao Qiang is only 10,000 horses, even if we annihilate them all, the total enemy army will have nearly 50,000 people, not much less than us. And once we sneak attack Jiao Qiang, the other two sides will be more vigilant, and it will be even more difficult to sneak attack again. It is better to directly ambush the Wuxiu army and the Yiyang army, they have a total of 30,000 horses and horses, and they are the main force of the enemy army. And they would never have thought that we would turn around and deal with them, and maybe it would work wonders! ”
After listening to Yang Xue's words, everyone thought about it. Hao Yang tried hard to think about what benefits Yang Xue's plan would bring to Zhang Shumo, but after thinking about it, 60,000 people ambushed 30,000 people, no matter how you look at it, it is his own side that has a huge advantage.
Ma Hua took the lead in affirming Yang Xue's plan: "The subordinates think that Mrs. Yang's plan is feasible. After speaking, he came to the map, pointed to a forest and said: "We can order 10,000 horses to lie in ambush in the woods, and then a large army will block the enemy on the road, once they retreat, these 10,000 people will be killed from the woods, and the enemy army will be broken!" ”
Hao Yang looked at the map and suddenly thought of a suspicious point, and immediately said: "If the soldiers of Qinghua City and Jiao Qiang suddenly come out from behind our army, Zhang Shumo and they will not retreat, but will attack our large army in front and rear, so that we are not in the hands of the enemy?" ”
Yang Xue immediately retorted: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, I think General Ma's plan is feasible!" ”
Hao Yang glanced at Yang Xue, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said to Ji Wen: "Lord Wang, the last general thinks that we should ask now, and we must not take risks." Dieling Pass is already in the hands of the enemy, once the adventure fails, we won't even have a way back! ”
Ji Wen was taken aback, and immediately asked Hao Yang, "Then what do you think we should do?" ”
Hao Yang thought for a while and said, "According to the prince's plan, fight Jiao Qiang first." Although attacking them has little impact on the overall situation of the battle, it is a safe victory. Defeat Jiao Qiang, and we can take advantage of the situation to capture the next city and Dieling Pass. Even if the enemy army comes to attack, we can defend the two passes, and when our army arrives, they are not at our mercy? ”
After hearing this, Ji Wen quickly nodded: "That's right, that's right!" That's what this king thought just now. This king thinks that this law is the most appropriate, and which of you still has any objections? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone dared to raise objections, and they all nodded and praised Ji Wen for his wisdom. Ji Wen waved his hand excitedly: "Okay!" Since you have no objections, let's launch a feint attack on Qinghua City tonight, and attack them directly while we are unprepared! ”
Everyone dispersed, and Yang Xue showed a sneer on her face: If he guessed correctly, this is the result that Zhang Shumo wants to see the most, right? I wanted to help Ji Wen in order to gain his trust. Unexpectedly, he didn't open his eyes, he deserved to be played by Zhang Shumo!
In the camp of the Western Route Army, a scout hurriedly came to Jiao Qiang's tent and reported: "General, the Wu Xiu Army and the Yiyang Army are less than fifty miles away from Qinghua City, and they will arrive in the second half of the night." ”
Jiao Qiang had already fallen asleep, but immediately got up after hearing the news: "Quick, please ask Mr. Chen Lin and Mr. Qin Sheng to come to my account to discuss matters!" ”
After a while, Chen Lin and Qin Sheng came to Jiao Qiang's tent, and Jiao Qiang hurriedly told the two of them the news that Zhang Shumo and they were about to arrive, and then asked the two of them if they had any suggestions for their next move.
When Chen Lin heard this, his brows tightened: "I think that the general should immediately gather troops and horses to evacuate." Since our people can discover the whereabouts of Zhang Shumo and others, the Jingguo army will inevitably find out as well. If they learned that Zhang Shumo had arrived with 30,000 horses, then the first target they would have to deal with might be us, so it would be better for us to prepare early. ”
Qin Sheng also said on the side: "That's right, although Ji Wen thinks that we have tens of thousands of people, we are the weakest compared to Qinghua City and Zhang Shumo. If they want to find a breakthrough quickly, they will definitely choose us, and the general will quickly order a retreat. ”
When Jiao Qiang heard this, he felt that what the two said was reasonable, so he immediately ordered the village to withdraw from the army. But before everyone had time to pack up their things, a scout hurriedly came to report: "Report to the general, the Jingguo army has suddenly launched an attack on Qinghua City!" ”
After hearing this, Chen Lin hurriedly said to Jiao Qiang: "Quick! Give up the baggage and evacuate quickly, you won't be able to leave if it's too late! ”
Jiao Qiang immediately understood that Chen Lin was worried that Jing Guo would attack him under the guise of attacking Qinghua City. Just in case, Jiao Qiang immediately ordered all soldiers to abandon all baggage and light equipment and evacuate.
As soon as everyone left, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and it was obvious that the Jingguo army had attacked the camp.
