Chapter 61 First Retreat Ten Miles (New Year's Update)

The next day, the army marched towards Ruyang.

Sure enough, it was similar to guessing, there were a lot fewer yellow turbans besieging Ruyang, basically the yellow turbans in Runan were constantly attacking, and Peng Tuo's 30,000 main forces did not come.

However, there are also nearly 20,000 yellow turbans gathered outside the city, and the number seems to be terrifying.

"Bokang, there are so many yellow turbans here, how to deal with them, do you want to learn from you when you are outside the city of Changshe, first lure and annihilate its part, and then destroy most of it." Cao Cao was well versed in the art of war, and he quickly learned and applied it.

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work this time, the yellow turbans here are obviously determined to win Ruyang City, if they can't pose a threat to them, they won't divide their troops, but will step up the momentum of the attack." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Then we will storm its rear, let the Yellow Turbans here see our strength, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Ruyang City to besiege the Yellow Turbans, as long as the Donglai soldiers can defeat the Yellow Turbans, the back is to cover the pursuit and pursue." ”

Xu Dingbei glanced at Yuan Shao meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Ruyang City.

"I can understand the mood of wanting to relieve Ruyang City at the beginning, but you have to remember that I promised to bring Donglai soldiers and horses over, although the division is famous, and you are willing to pay, but I will not exchange the lives of my soldiers for those cold patina.

In my eyes, these soldiers who were born and died are my brothers, my robes, they cannot be exchanged for benefits, they follow me out, I have to ensure that they can go back, I promise to be responsible for them. Xu Ding bluntly admonished.

Cao Cao was thoughtful, and Xu Ding's words inspired him a lot.

It seems that he has discovered something unusual about Xu Ding's personality charm.

This is something to learn from him.

Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and others all clenched their fists, secretly excited, and their hearts were surging.

Yuan Shao's face blushed slightly, but he was very disappreciative in his heart, feeling that Xu Ding was a little on the line.

The life and death of ordinary soldiers, who will call them, these are all places that can be discarded casually.

Xu Ding said it so high-soundingly, is it too much.

"So what is Berkang going to do?" Cao Cao saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and it seemed that the relationship between Xu Ding and the Yuan family was not as good as he imagined.

And this trip to Ruyang is also a bit weird.

Xu Ding replied calmly: "Raise the flag, tell Ruyang City that our army is coming, and let them be prepared; At the same time, wait for dark, and after dark, our army retreats ten miles. ”

"What kind of fight is this, why do our troops retreat after dark?" When Yuan Shao heard that Xu Ding was going to retreat, he was a little anxious at the moment.

Xu Ding replied coldly: "This is called retreating as advancing, let's see the reaction of the enemy, in short, it is impossible to attack." ”

After saying that, Xu Ding left, and he didn't bother to explain so much to Yuan Shao.

The troops are their own, and there is no need to ask him for instructions on how to fight by themselves.

Yuan Shao saw that Xu Ding turned around and ignored him and left, grabbed Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, what do you think Xu Bokang is doing?" The situation in Ruyang is critical, why do you have to retreat when you just come. ”

"Bokang's intention is obvious, that is, to tell Ruyang City that there are reinforcements outside the city, let them resist, don't mess up, and inspire the military and the people in Ruyang." Cao Cao paused and said:

"Bokang takes retreat as advance, and the Yellow Turban has nothing more than three reactions, one is to give up the siege and attack us, so that Ruyang is in danger, and we have strategically completed the task here.

The second is that the Yellow Turban ignored us, despised us, and still stormed Ruyang, so that our army could attack at night and break the enemy.

The third is that the Yellow Turban has set aside a section to warn us, and we are worried that we will attack at night, and the whole army will inevitably be more vigilant, and the Yellow Turban thieves are mostly ordinary people, who have not been trained more, and have been in a state of nervous vigilance for a long time, and the siege of the city will inevitably be greatly discounted the next day, and Ruyang City will not be lost.

Therefore, Bokang's plan is used well, and it can achieve strategic support without wasting any energy, which is really worth pondering and learning! ”

Cao Cao's look of admiration made Yuan Shao a little confused.

Xu Ding really meant this, he really had Cao Cao saying it so godly.

"Bo Kang, wait for me, I still have a missing point in the art of war that I haven't figured out, you give me an analysis and analysis." Cao Cao didn't pay attention to the confused Yuan Shao, and hurriedly went to chase Xu Ding.

If Xu Ding heard what he said just now, he would definitely say, Boss Cao, you are thinking too much.

I just don't want to fight the Yellow Turban for the Yuan family.

The Han army came, and then retreated ten miles to the village, not to mention that the yellow turban was puzzled, and the people who had just seen hope in Ruyang City also looked at each other.

This is the reinforcements, how did they go again.

"This group of people is really Donglai soldiers, it can't be fake, I heard that Donglai soldiers are very capable of killing, dare to rush and dare to fight, why did they coax so quickly, and they left just after they came?"

Ruyang County Commander asked Xiang County Governor.

The county lieutenant looked at the Yuan family.

The person was found by the Yuan family, and he didn't know what the hell it was.

Everyone in the Yuan family, you look at me, I look at you, Yuan Shao, who advocates looking for Xu Ding, doesn't seem to be in the city.

Only Yuan Shu said sarcastically with a thick sneer: "Hmph! What kind of bullshit Donglai Army, it's just a group of cowardly guys, and they have to rely on my Yuan family to defend Ruyang City. ”

Yuan Shu is a little more bloody than Yuan Shao, there is no doubt about this, because this guy has admired rangers since he was a child, so since he was more than ten years old, he gathered some rangers to go out to do some so-called unfair things.

So this guy's martial arts are really not bad, at least much stronger than Yuan Shao's showmanship.

Night!

When the scattered detectives came back and reported the Yellow Turban Army and the surrounding situation, Xu Ding nodded slightly and did not speak.

Yuan Shao came over and said: "Bokang, the Yellow Turban Thieves have not made any movement, it seems that they have some contempt for us, can they attack at night and defeat these Yellow Turban Thieves in one fell swoop." ”

Xu Ding looked at Yuan Shao and asked, "Why did you say this at the beginning, how did you know that the Yellow Turban despised our army's retreat for ten miles." ”

Yuan Shao said that he listened to Cao Cao's analysis.

Xu Dingdao: "Invite Meng Dejun here." ”

The guards went to invite Cao Cao, Cao Cao came over quickly, Xu Ding asked him, he replied truthfully, Xu Ding said: "Meng De dares to attack the camp at night." ”

"With Bokang commanding the troops, I am naturally unwilling to be left behind." Cao Cao replied a little cunningly.

Xu Ding shook his head and said, "No! I won't lead you there, you will take the lead in this attack on the camp, and I won't go to Donglaibing, but I can let Zilian and Yuan Rang go with you, of course, if you want to go, you can go. ”

Xu Ding looked at Yuan Shao with a smile on his face.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Cao while thinking.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Okay! I went to attack the camp, and there were Zilian and Yuan to make him unable to break the enemy, not to mention that there was Bo Kang in the back. ”

Then Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao was so enthusiastic, and he was fighting for Ruyang, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I should go with Meng De to kill the enemy." ”

Xu Dingdao: "Okay! Since this is the case, I will first wish Meng Deqi a victory, and at the same time, I also wish the first brother Ben Chu to kill the enemy and break the thief and make more achievements. ”
