Chapter 627: Soldiers Descend on the City
Gongda, you say, are those three points? Cao Ren didn't have his usual steadyness, so he saw him leaning forward and asked anxiously.
Xun You is not an ordinary person, Xun You (born in 157 A.D., died in 214 A.D.), the word Gongda, Yingchuan Yingyin (later Xuchang, Henan) people. Xun Yu's nephew, a strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Xun You served as a waiter of the Yellow Gate during He Jin's reign, and was imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and then abandoned his official position and returned home. After Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven into Xudu, Xun You became Cao Cao's military advisor. When Cao Cao conquered LΓΌ Bu, Xun You dissuaded Cao Cao from retreating, and offered a strange plan to flood Picheng and capture LΓΌ Bu alive.
In the battle of Guandu, Xun Yu offered a plan to attack the east and west, killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He also planned strange soldiers, sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's grain and grass, and at the same time urged Cao Cao to accept Xu You, draw a black nest, and make great contributions. During the pacification of Hebei, Xun Youli overrode public opinion and advocated that Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shao's sons, and was named the Marquis of Lingshu Pavilion by Cao Cao's court. Xun You acted carefully and low-key, and was full of scheming, which was praised by Cao Cao. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214 AD), Xun You died on the way to Cao Cao's attack on Wu.
Xun You is known as Cao Cao's "mastermind", and is good at flexible tactics and military strategies to defeat the enemy. He set up a total of 12 strategies during his lifetime, and only Zhong Xuan knew about it. Zhong Xuan died before he could finish it up, so the future generations do not know. He is also the author of "Wei Guanyi", which has been lost in later generations.
Therefore, Xun You is a master-type talent, he and Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others are all first-class talent strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, of course, there is a specialization in the art industry, these people have different learnings, and they are not the same as they are good at.
I only heard Xun You say: "General, the first point is to actively prepare for war, defend Luoyang, the general immediately reorganizes the army, repairs the Luoyang city defense, waits for the day, strengthens the inventory of Luoyang City, and in addition, mobilizes the family to let them donate money, materials and private soldiers."
The second point, general, you quickly sent a letter to the lord asking for help, so that the lord immediately supported us, Luoyang City must not be lost, but our current ability can only stop Fu Lin, and we can defend it day by day.
And the last point is that Fu Lin is eclectic in his use of soldiers, and he always likes to win by surprise, which we have to admit that Fu Lin is no less than the lord in his use of troops, and even in some aspects, Fu Lin is stronger than the lord. Therefore, General Cao, you must pay attention to the left and right flanks and the rear of our Luoyang City, and don't let Fu Lin overtake our rear road. β
"Okay, Gongda is really good, just do it?" After Cao Ren listened to Xun You's three-point suggestion, he immediately said: "Pass my order, explain all the three points of Gongda, and there must be no mistakes......
**
Just when Cao Ren was in a hurry to prepare for the war, Fu Lin and the others were naturally not idle!
The first county seat in the east of Luoyang City, Gucheng County!
Fu Lin's 110,000 army was around the village of Wucheng County, and I saw that Fu Lin's army was black and oppressive, stretching far away.
The county seat and county government!
Above the lobby!
Fu Lin is also anxious about the generals. Fu Lin was dressed in a drape, sitting on the main seat with a golden sword, and he was fighting with Guo Jia and Jia Xu to attack Luoyang.
"Lord, Luoyang City is not as good as other cities in the Han Dynasty, the city here is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although we have 110,000 elites, we can also capture Luoyang City, but we can't afford not to pay a little price, so it is recommended to outwit it." Although Fu Lin only brought two strategists this time, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, these two people are both outstanding talents of the contemporary era, so Fu Lin naturally needs their strategies.
Fu Lin listened and nodded incessantly: "Fengxiao, what you said is very right, although we are now strong and strong, and we have won the three counties of Gucheng, Pingyin and Xincheng, and we have no worries, but Cao Cao, Cao Ren and that Xun You are not easy people." Will this plan be settled? β
"Lord, let's do this, let the army pay close attention to Cao Cao's movements, if my expectations are right, this time Cao Cao will send troops to support, then we will detour back to Cao Cao's rear, looking for an opportunity, force Cao Cao back, when the time comes, the lord you will lead the army to cover up from behind, then we will definitely win a big victory, please decide?" Guo Jia said while drinking, it can be said that Guo Jia is an alternative under Fu Lin, Fu Lin's military law is very strictly prohibited, and there is a ban on alcohol when he goes on an expedition, but Fu Lin has authorized Guo Jia not to be in the ranks of the prohibition of alcohol, just don't get drunk and make mistakes.
Therefore, Guo Jia is an alternative, a unique landscape of Fu Lin's subordinates, usually no one pays attention to it, and it is very obvious that this army is out, so at this time, Guo Jia will also pay attention to it, while making Fu Lin not feel good.
However, after only calling Fu Lin to send troops, Guo Jia was also working day and night, and he was very nervous, so for Guo Jia, this drinking was not only a kind of enjoyment, but also a way for Guo Jia to relax.
After hearing Guo Jia's plan, Fu Lin didn't speak immediately, only to see Fu Lin bow his head and ponder, and above the lobby, he fell into silence.
After a while, I only heard Fu Lin say, "Do you have any other suggestions?" Wen and talk about it? β
"No!" Jia Xu also immediately said: "Lord, what Guo Junshi said is very correct, and the strategy is not bad, and his subordinates think that they can do this." It's just ......"
Jia Xu's character, we will not repeat it, because we have introduced more than once that Jia Xu did not willingly take refuge in Fu Lin at the beginning, and Jia Xu is also a relatively conservative and prudent strategist.
The reason why Jia Xu took refuge in Fu Lin was also forced by the situation later and threatened by Fu Lin, so Jia Xu had no choice but to surrender Fu Lin.
Originally, Jia Xu just wanted to save his life, but unexpectedly, he met the master of Ming, which was also the process of Jia Xu's recognition of Fu Lin, but later Jia Xu also followed Fu Lin with all his heart.
"Haha, okay, just do it, Feng Xiao and Wen and your strategies are very good, I think it's better to go both ways, and be prepared for both sides. Eliminate the scouts first, and then see Cao Ren's situation. Fu Lin said with a smile.
An order fell like a mountain, and soon Fu Lin also took action in this regard, only to see that the valley city where Fu Lin was located was very heavily guarded, and there were transfers of soldiers, horses and personnel from time to time.
However, there are no people going back and forth in and out of the city, although it is strange, but those who know also understand that it is Fu Lin's order.
However, these days, except for Fu Lin sending troops to test Luoyang City, there is no intersection between the two of them, whether it is Fu Lin or Cao Ren, they dare not act somewhat.
Soon, within a few days, Cao Cao led an army of 70,000 to Luoyang City, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses felt the news, not only to leave, but also to leave, the 70,000 army was not able to disappear if they wanted to hide.
In the next few days, the sky in Luoyang was very gloomy, as if God was predicting something.
Luoyang City Tower!
Since the arrival of Fu Lin's army, Cao Rena was very nervous, he only rested for two hours a day, and his spirit was getting more and more sluggish.
Cao Ren came out to inspect the city, "General, there's nothing going on here, go back and rest for a while!" β
"Yes, General, you can rest, if something happens to the city, we are willing to accept military law!"
All the soldiers and horses under Cao Ren also said in unison.
It can also be seen from here that Cao Ren is not an ordinary general, at least, Cao Ren has some ability.
Tart tart tart!
Just as Cao Ren was about to nod his head and leave, he heard a sound of footsteps from under the city, and then saw Cao Ren's personal guards come over and salute: "General Cao, the lord's army has arrived!" β
