Chapter 164: Take a gamble
"Uh......"
Liandao, Liu Yijun's camp, looking at Han Xuan's head on the table, Liu Yi was a little speechless for a while, Han Xuan still couldn't escape death in the end, the interesting thing is that in the romance, it seems that Han Xuan died in the hands of Wei Yan, and now ......
Looking at Huang Zhong with an expressionless face, Liu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I asked Wei Yan to lie in Guiyang, intercept Guiyang's soldiers and horses, Han Fujun's death should be regarded as an accident, and I hope that the general will not hold a grudge against Wen Chang." ”
Originally, he said that he would release Han Xuan three times, and in his heart, Liu Yi never thought of killing Han Xuan, after all, there is such a person in the enemy's military camp, and he can still be in a high position, in Liu Yi's opinion, this is a good thing, he wishes that the enemy camp is all opponents of this level, then without Zhuge Liang, he can dominate the world.
But now, Han Xuan died in the hands of Wei Yan, which made Liu Yi feel like he was slapped in the face, he really wanted to let Han Xuan go, but now it seems that it is not easy for this kind of person to live in this troubled world, and he was ambushed by others casually.
Huang Zhong didn't care much, shook his head and said: "In the past, Changsha let him go, it was all the grace of the past, and now he is dead in the chaos, Mr. is not breaking his promise, General Wei killed him, but each is his master, what is the grievance?" Sir, don't worry about it. ”
If you want to say how deep Huang Zhong's feelings are for Han Xuan, it must be a lie, just look at Han Xuan's attitude towards Huang Zhong, it's okay to be useful, and he scolds when he opens his mouth when it's useless or doesn't suit his heart, Huang Zhong has no masochistic tendencies, how can he have deep feelings, but Huang Zhong also has his own bottom line in his heart, when Han Xuan used him when he was the most down, this is considered a grace of knowledge, and this kindness must be repaid, so he exchanged himself for Han Xuan's life in Linxiang that day.
But in Huang Zhong's opinion, this is enough to repay Han Xuan's kindness, after that, the two have no personal entanglement, and now Han Xuan leads his troops to attack Changsha, don't you let Liu Yi's people resist? Therefore, for Han Xuan's head now on Liu Yi's table, in addition to sighing and sewing a whole corpse for Han Xuan, Huang Zhong can't complain about Liu Yi or Wei Yan because of this, each is his master, life and death depend on his ability, and being killed on the battlefield without ability is a normal thing.
"Hmm." Liu Yi glanced at Han Xuan's head, and asked him to pack it and send it to Liu Bei, which was regarded as a tribute to Wei Yan, knocked on the table with his fingers, and handed another bamboo slip to Huang Zhong and said, "This is the advice offered by the chief of the text, what does the general think?" ”
In addition to the good news, Wei Yan also sent another bamboo slip, which was Wei Yan's strategy, Guiyang after this defeat, even if he was unwilling to surrender, I am afraid he would not dare to send troops without authorization, Wei Yan hoped that he could lead the soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the emptiness in the rear of Lingling, directly hit Liu Du's lair, cut off the other party's grain and grass, then the 20,000 army can collapse without a fight.
"This method is too risky!" Huang Zhong frowned and looked at Liu Yi and said: "General Wei's plan is that Zhao Fan will not move, once Zhao Fan moves his troops, Changsha will be unguarded, wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”
Liu Yi's current grain and grass baggage is basically maintained by Changsha, Wuling is captured quickly, but correspondingly, the control is not as solid as Changsha, the new Taishou is still sorting out government affairs, and making friends with wealthy families in various places, it is impossible to give Liu Yi much help in the short term.
Therefore, Changsha is Liu Yi's rear, don't look at Han Xuan's ability, but he has a wide range of contacts, and he has a strong general like Huang Zhong, his control over Changsha is not low, and the grain and grass stored in the treasury are enough for Liu Yi to squander a lot of time, which is also the fundamental reason why Liu Yi dares to fight a war of attrition with Liu Du.
Wei Yan's strategy is a big gamble, although in Huang Zhong's opinion, that Guiyang is too guarded after this defeat, even if he knows that Wei Yan is leaving, he may not have the courage to attack Changsha, but this kind of thing, not afraid of 10,000, is afraid of what if, so Huang Zhong thinks it is better to be safe.
Liu Yi nodded, no squeak, he didn't know what kind of person Zhao Fan was, the most impressive thing for Liu Yi in the romance was that Zhao Fan gave Zhao Yun a sister-in-law, I heard that he was a big beauty, but Zhao Yun didn't accept it, just with these things, Zhao Fan's image, personality and mind can't be three-dimensional at all, and he can't make a judgment, but from the analysis of the current situation, if he changes places, Liu Yi will not attack rashly at this time when he has already lost a game and his own troops have lost a lot, this is dangerous...... It's worth the risk.
Don't look at Liu Yi's previous work to seek stability, that is when his own safety is threatened, if Mocheng is broken, then Liu Yi's hard work will be in vain, if Changsha does not adopt a step-by-step strategy, the lone army goes deep, if it is defeated by others, then its own safety will also be threatened.
But now it's different, even if Changsha is really lost, Liu Yi himself will not be too threatened, as for the interests...... He is a craftsman general, and he is not a character like Zhuge Liang, is it normal to miscalculate, and it is Liu Bei who loses, and it is a big deal to fight back, according to the latest intelligence, Liu Bei has already taken Jiangling, with here, and Wuling in hand, Liu Yi does not have to worry about the problem of the back road being cut off, so the current situation allows him to make mistakes, let him gamble.
If you win, you can end this war as soon as possible, continue your farming career, and return to Mocheng to live a leisurely life, if you lose, then start from scratch, take Lingling and Wuling counties, and retake Changsha is not a difficult thing.
After figuring this out, Liu Yi shook his head with a smile, first wrote a reply letter to Wei Yan, and then wrote a letter to Mi Zhu, asking him to prepare for retreat.
On the other side, Liu Xian's camp.
Xing Daorong walked in a little anxiously and said to Liu Xian: "General, then Liu Yi is guarding the camp all day long, and he refuses to come out no matter how he scolds, do we want to spend it with him like this?" ”
Even if the brain is not good, but I also know that this one more day, the consumption of grain and grass is not a small amount, those thieves are not in a hurry, after all, this grain and grass is from the Taishou Mansion, but they can't do it, if they continue to consume like this, they must be the ones who can't hold it first.
"Order the generals of all armies, from tomorrow, all listen to my orders and send troops together to attack Liu Yi's camp." Liu Xian was also a little anxious at this time, he knew the seriousness of the problem better than Xing Daorong, but those sect thieves were not easy to command, and most of the generals sent by the sect thieves were yang and yin, otherwise, they would have started attacking a long time ago, so why wait until now?
"Whoa!" Xing Daorong's expression was excited, and he turned around and went to give the order.
Although he was reluctant, after all, he came to support, and now that he was going to fight, it was not good to continue to fight soy sauce, and the commanders of the thieves gathered with their respective soldiers and horses early the next morning, and set up a formation under the command of Liu Xian.
Just coordinating these people and horses to form a formation, it took a morning, not to mention that Liu Xian was not satisfied, Liu Yi, who was observing the enemy's military formation on the dougong, was about to fall asleep.
"Guan Ping!" Seeing that the other party's formation was almost in line, Liu Yi said to Guan Ping on the side.
"The last general!" Guan Ping stepped forward and said loudly.
"You lead a group of men and horses, wait for the other party to start attacking, you go out from the north gate, disturb the enemy's rear, remember, leave as soon as you dozen, don't entangle, go around in a circle and come back!" Liu Yi rubbed his face to make himself look more energetic, and said to Guan Ping.
Liu Xian used the style of fighting around three and one, surrounded on three sides, leaving one side to vent the morale of the enemy, which was originally a very good art of war, just looking at the opponent's military formation, Liu Yi felt that the other party might want to make the defenders fall asleep in this way and win without a fight.
Of course, this is a joke, seeing that the other party finally set up a formation and began to rush forward, Liu Yi signaled Guan Ping to harass, and he worked with Huang Zhong to command the war, Huang Zhong said how to fight, how to fight, Liu Yi never didn't know how to pretend to understand.
Although the formation is not good, but the real war, after all, it is not child's play, the 20,000 army is besieged on three sides, and the pressure is still there, but with Huang Zhong, a veteran with rich combat experience, in the center, the entire battalion is in order, Liu Yi only needs to give orders according to Huang Zhong's suggestion, and the large battalion will not leak.
Under Huang Zhong's guidance, Liu Yi also gradually saw some doorways, these soldiers and horses seemed to be a whole, but in fact, they were more than a dozen or twenty small groups fighting, each fighting their own, and the frequency was not uniform, so Huang Zhong was quite easy to defend.
A quarter of an hour later, Guan Ping led a detachment of men and horses to kill, charged in the rear for a while, and then when the enemy reacted, he quickly withdrew from the battle group and went to another place.
Liu Xian sent people to kill dozens of soldiers who wanted to flee before stopping the rout, and at the same time sent Xing Daorong to intercept Guan Ping.
"It's you again!?" Xing Daorong saw that Guan Ping was high-spirited, the last time the two sides fought without a win, but it made Xing Daorong remember Guan Ping, goodbye at this moment, but he was full of spirits, carrying his own battle axe, to fight Guan Ping.
Guan Ping had a task in his body, and he didn't want to entangle with Xing Daorong, but Xing Daorong recognized Guan Ping and rushed straight to Guan Ping with his people, Guan Ping had no choice but to take his men and horses to fight with Xing Daorong.
The two teams fought together, Xing Daorong even found Guan Ping directly, the fight was inseparable, the two fought for a hundred and eighty this time, and still did not distinguish between victory and defeat, but Guan Ping's soldiers and horses had the upper hand, after all, Liu Yi's military camp had various bonuses, and after training for a while, not to mention the prohibition of the order, it could be regarded as well-trained, and after fighting for a while, the county soldiers brought by Xing Daorong were suppressed.
On the bucket arch, Liu Yi saw that Guan Ping was entangled, and ordered Liu Feng: "Take another 500 people out of the camp, attack and harass the enemy, converge with Guan Ping, and kill back together!" ”
"Whoa!" Liu Feng agreed, and ordered five hundred men and horses to kill.
This time, Liu Xian's side did not have a military general who could stop Liu Feng, seeing Liu Feng's attack and disturbing his own rear army, several clan thief generals were killed by Liu Feng, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, a big battle, starting from noon, only fought for more than an hour, and had to hastily withdraw his troops, which not only made Liu Xian see that this temporary patchwork of soldiers and horses was not of great use, but also made Liu Yi have a clearer understanding of the huge army of Lingling.
