Chapter 149: The Advisor's Advice

Lu Wen and Lei Li saw that Zeng Yu seemed to be confident, and then thought of the more than 10,000 soldiers he led, and the two of them were not so afraid of the upcoming Yellow Turban Army.

In the evening, Lu Wen specially held a dinner party to welcome the arrival of Zeng Yu and Lei Li, and summoned the county magistrate and the lord of Xiangyuan County, as well as the principals of several big families in the city. One is to introduce Zeng Yu to them, so that they can obey Zeng Yu's command in the next battle to defend the city, and the other is to make everyone feel at ease and help maintain the stability of Xiangyuan County. Before the news of the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Changzi County came, Xiangyuan County had a feeling of coming together from top to bottom.

Because there will be a big war next, Zeng Yu and the others didn't talk too much with these people, but after eating some briefly, he thought that he wanted to prepare for the next defense of the city, so he said goodbye to everyone for some reason, and then returned to the mansion that Lu Wen arranged for him in the county.

In order to facilitate Zeng Yu's command, Lu Wen arranged the mansion next to the county government. When Zeng Yu went back, Guo Jia accompanied the three commanders of the unclothed army and Zhao Yun of the cavalry battalion to wait for him in the mansion, they received the order of Zeng Yu's own soldiers, and came over to determine with Zeng Yu how the next battle would go.

"Just now Lu Wen said that the Yellow Turban Army will arrive here in two days at most, and the specific strength is not clear. However, our spies came with news that the Yellow Turban Army had been divided into three routes, and each of the Zuo Zhangba had sent 10,000 horses to attack Tunliu and Tongluo, and there were still more than 30,000 remaining men and horses, and they came straight to Xiangyuan County. Tell me how we should fight this time? Originally, Ziwu's previous plan was very good, but Lu Wen intended to defend the city, and entrusted him to me, if there was another way, I didn't want to sacrifice him. Zeng Yu asked them.

"Originally, according to Brother Ziwu's plan, if Xiangyuan had given up resistance, we would quietly ambush in Xiangyuan County, and launch an attack when the Yellow Turban Army entered the city to relax its vigilance, and wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in this county. But at this time, we are stationed outside the city with such fanfare, presumably the Yellow Turban Army will also know that there are reinforcements in Xiangyuan County, and our plan to bring the king into the urn is not so easy. Wu Shi, commander of the shooter battalion, said.

"Commander Wu is right, but I think we only need a little trickery, and the plan is still feasible." At this time, Guo Jia stood up and said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't know what Bonghyo has in mind?" When Zeng Yu heard this, he asked Guo Jia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think the combat effectiveness of our officers and soldiers should look like in the eyes of the Yellow Turban Army?" Guo Jia didn't answer directly, but asked a few people rhetorically.

"Strategist, why are you asking this, our combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the Yellow Turban Army." Pei Yuanshao said with a grin, he now wants Zeng Yu to prove the combat effectiveness of his martial arts battalion.

"Hehe, Jia is not talking about your own combat effectiveness, but the imaginary combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army defeated the six county towns of our party, and then directly forcibly attacked Changzi County, the capital of the county, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army must be high-spirited, and will not look at us officers and soldiers. Even if there are reinforcements in Xiangyuan County, if the Yellow Turban Army arrives here, it will attack directly. What Commander Wu said just now was right, if you want to give up resistance directly, it is definitely not appropriate to ambush them in the city and wait for them to enter the city, after all, there are reinforcements in the city but they do not resist, which is obviously to tell them that there is fraud in the city. “

Guo Jia slowed down and continued: "But if they believe that our combat effectiveness is very low, and they don't even dare to resist them, we will abandon the city and flee after they arrive, and according to the psychology of the Yellow Turban Army, they will definitely enter the city directly." ”

"Then how do we convince them that our combat effectiveness is low, why can't we send someone to tell the Yellow Turban Army, besides, the Yellow Turban Army is not stupid, they will believe us when we say that our combat effectiveness is low." Pei Yuanshao asked again.

"My lord, all we need is to send a battalion of soldiers to ambush the Yellow Turbans on their way. But we cannot win, but we must be broken through by them after the ambush and defeated head-on by them. In this way, I think the Yellow Turban Army will definitely have a preconceived idea that we are the same as those county soldiers before us, and the previous plan of the king can be continued. Guo Jia explained to Zeng Yu.

When Zeng Yu heard this, he also knew Guo Jia's plan, he looked at Wang Qing and the others, and saw that none of them raised objections, so he said: "Ziwu, early tomorrow morning, you will lead the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion to march in the direction of Changzi County, find a place on the way that can be ambushed, only win and not lose, and return to the city immediately after defeat." ”

Because a feint is a great test of the general's commanding ability, and there are also certain requirements for the soldiers, if the general's commander is not good, it is easy to feint and become a real defeat, and then the gains outweigh the losses. Among the three commanders of the Clothless Army, Wang Qing is undoubtedly the most trusted by Zeng Yu and has the strongest ability, so this time he has the task of feint defeat to show the enemy's weakness. As for why Zhao Yun's cavalry battalion was not allowed to go, it was very simple, after the three thousand were trained, the cavalry equipped with stirrup saddles and cavalry scimitars, no matter how they pretended, they would scare the Yellow Turban Army, which was full of foot soldiers.

"Subordinates take orders!" After Wang Qing listened to Guo Jia's strategy, he guessed that Zeng Yu would hand over the task to himself, and as soon as he heard Zeng Yu's order, he immediately took a step forward and received the military order with his fists.

"Yi Yue, Lao Pei, you led the soldiers of the shooter battalion and the martial arts battalion into the city tonight, and first stationed in the barracks of the county seat. Tomorrow I will contact Lu Wen and ask him to vacate the houses of the people on both sides of the street, and you will ambush them in these houses, and when the Yellow Turban Army enters the city, I will leave them in the city for me, and let them come in vertically and go out horizontally. Zeng Yu ordered Wu Shi and Pei Yuanshao again.

"No!" Wu Shi and Pei Yuanshao also replied.

Zeng Yu looked at Zhao Yun, the only one left who had no task, Zhao Yun was not the commander of the cavalry battalion at this time, but only a captain of the cavalry battalion, and there was another captain in the cavalry battalion, who was Yang Xun who surrendered to Huanglongzhai at the beginning. However, the high-level officials of Anping County, including Yang Xun, all knew that Zeng Yu took a fancy to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also lived up to expectations, in addition to his martial arts that were difficult to find opponents in the army, he also used the training of cavalry, as well as the practice of the art of war, etc., all grew rapidly, and soon convinced Yang Xun and the soldiers of the 3,000 cavalry battalion, so at this time Zhao Yun only had Zeng Yu awarded him the title of commander of the cavalry battalion.

"Zilong, the county town is mainly street fighting, and it is not suitable for cavalry to play, I plan to let you ambush between Xiangyuan County and Tunliu County. After the Yellow Turban Army found that there was an ambush in the city, they would definitely lead the crowd to break through when the situation was not good, and after the Yellow Turban Army left the city, the most likely place for them to go was Tunliu and Tongyu County, and joined the Yellow Turban Army there. Your mission is to kill them halfway through, and if possible, capture as many captives as possible. Zeng Yu ordered Zhao Yun.

"No, my subordinates take orders!" Zhao Yun stood up excitedly and said.

"This is Zilong's first expedition, you can listen to Yang Xun's advice, he has experience in the army, and he has more experience than you. When you return triumphantly, you will be the commander of our cavalry battalion. Zeng Yu walked up to Zhao Yun and said to him.

"Thank you for your love, and the clouds will repay you with death!" Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee and said to Zeng Yu excitedly.

"Zilong, you can't die, I still want you to lead the cavalry battalion across the northern frontier, help me resist the aliens, and raise my Huaxia Tianwei!" Zeng Yu pulled Zhao Yun up, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

What he said was indeed the truth, according to Zeng Yu's plan, if he wanted to deal with those alien races in the north who were good at riding and archery, he needed to form a better cavalry team, and Zhao Yun was the best commander of this team in his heart. And then cooperate with a strong foot pawn, and he also has a candidate for the commander of the foot soldiers, that is, Wei Feng, who is still in Tuntian, Anping County, and then the alien races in the north can be handed over to them, which will definitely make him have no worries.

Everyone received their respective military orders and left together, only Guo Jia stayed with Zeng Yu. After all, the military situation is important, they only dealt with bandits before, and the largest time was only the one that fought with Huanglongzhai, but it was far from being comparable to the upcoming war.

"Fengxiao, you said that our plan should be able to succeed this time!" After everyone left, Zeng Yu said to Guo Jia. Although he was full of confidence when he gave the order to Wang Qing and the others just now, he knew that he would face the Yellow Turban Army that might exceed 30,000 next, and all he could count on was the soldiers in the early 10,000s of the Unclothed Army, as for the young men recruited by Xiangyuan County, they were not in Zeng Yu's consideration, they just needed not to drag their feet.

"I saw that the lord was full of confidence, and I thought that the lord was not worried at all." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"That's to reassure Ziwu and them, if even I show worry, it will definitely affect them." Zeng Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said to Guo Jia.

"The lord is too worried, I see that the confidence of the few commanders is very sufficient, even Zilong, who is in battle for the first time, although he is a little nervous, but it is more because of the first time he is out of the station, not because he is worried about the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army. Maybe in the hearts of all the commanders, they still wish that the Yellow Turban Army would arrive as soon as possible, so that they could kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao said politely, but it's a pity that these people are my big people, but they want to see each other in arms, if they are under my command, why should I be so forbearing." Zeng Yu said.

"Haha, don't worry, these people are just ordinary Yellow Turban Sect members, as long as the Lord wins, sooner or later they will become the people under the rule of the Lord Gong." Guo Jia also thought that Zeng Yu gave birth to the benevolence of a woman, and when he finished speaking, he laughed, such a lord is in line with his usual understanding of him.

"It's up to Lao Pei this time, he has always wanted to prove himself to me, to prove that the Wushu battalion is not inferior to the other two battalions, and I hope he will not let me down, nor let him disappoint himself." Zeng Yu said.
