Bao Hong returned to the camp he had set up on the other side with the six cavalry generals who had arrived later.

Along the way, I also happened to communicate with the three new Water Margin generals.

The three of them were very pleased with the rules of meritocracy that Bao Hong implemented in the army, for martial artists like them, they were not afraid to work hard, but they were afraid of being desperate but had no value. Even for soldiers, as long as the superior does not spare food, rewards, and honors, the soldier will not spare his life to serve him.

As for their current position, as Bao Hong expected, they did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Seeing the three of them, Bao Hong was also thinking about finding an opportunity for them to charge into battle and kill the enemy. This will inspire them to bring with them the treasures they bring with them.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, and the most important thing now is to face the Yellow Turban army in Xiangyang City.

Back at the camp, Bao Hong ordered the six cavalry commanders to return, in this era, the role of cavalry is very huge, these famous generals in command of the cavalry are crucial to the training of the iron cavalry under his command every minute.

And Bao Hong, who returned to the main account, began to communicate with Zong Ze, Li Hongzhang and others who had been waiting here for a long time about the battle situation.

"Liu Biao's plan is like this, and what we have to do is such a task. What do you think? Bao Hong told the people about the plan to lure the snake out of the hole and asked for their opinions.

"Deceive defeat, lure the enemy deep!" Zong Ze immediately summed up the key to it, "Such a large-scale fraud is not easy to control, if you are not careful, you may turn the fake into a real rout, it will be a rout, and it will be out of control!" ”

"Indeed, I also consider this problem, so I want to discuss this matter with you!" Bao Hong nodded, which he also thought of.

"Wait!" Li Hongzhang on the other side suddenly interrupted Bao Hong's words, "There is a problem here!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"What's the problem?"

Bao Hong didn't react at all, and subconsciously asked what was wrong. And Zong Ze and Ling Jing heard Li Hongzhang's words clearly, but they didn't see anything wrong in this.

"The rear was attacked, our army was defeated, and the Yellow Turban Army came out in pursuit." Li Hongzhang said in a deep voice, "The most fundamental problem is to make the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, that is, Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, believe this, but it is not easy!" ”

"Why?" Bao Hong still didn't understand, "They should already know that Peng Yue came from Yuzhou to support, so what's wrong with attacking the rear of Liu Biao's army and causing Liu Biao's army to retreat?" Why didn't Chen Sheng believe it? ”

"Peng Yue!"

"Peng Yue!"

However, some of the words in Bao Hong's rhetorical question made Zong Ze and Ling Jing on the side suddenly realize.

"It's Peng Yue, what's wrong?" Bao Hong still didn't react, and he didn't know what they had in mind.

"What kind of person is Peng Yue? When faced with the situation of Liu Biaojun's siege of Xiangyang, would he adopt such a low-level strategy of sneaking into the rear of Liu Biaojun? Ling Jing couldn't help but shake his head and said, he had specially arranged for him to follow Bao Hong to Liu Biaojun, but he didn't expect that he hadn't considered such a simple question at all, and he was a derelict military advisor.

When Ling Jing said this, Bao Hong also understood. Who is Peng Yue? One of the three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty, the ancestor of guerrilla warfare, and a grandmaster-level tactician, in the face of the situation of Liu Biao's army besieging Xiangyang City, there is a way not to solve it.

"In that case, let's deduce the whole process first!" Bao Hong thought for a while and said, "It's not just this incident, it's mainly to show your thinking process, so that I can learn and learn!" ”

"Then let's start thinking from Peng Yue's side!" Zong Ze nodded, responded to Bao Hong's statement, and brought out his thought process.

"If it was Peng Yue, everyone would have said that they would definitely not choose to fight hard and directly attack the rear of Liu Biaojun's low-level tricks. According to the theories of guerrilla warfare, besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, it should be to attack some defensive voids, but they are important to Liu Biao's army, enough to make Liu Biao give up besieging Xiangyang City. ”

Bao Hong thought about it and opened his mouth to analyze. For him, this matter can be used as a case study to analyze the battle, and it is very good to have a few 'teachers' by his side to guide him.

"General, you don't need to guess out of thin air, you have to consider what has already happened." Zong Ze smiled slightly and reminded.

"What has happened?" Bao Hong was stunned for a moment, recalling what had happened and related to this.

"We met Peng Yue in the north of Jingzhou, which means that Peng Yue is indeed fighting this idea." Bao Hong naturally thought of the battle with Peng Yue at once, "And in the field of Wancheng, we also met Sun Xia, who was arranged there early in the morning, preparing to counterattack Wancheng. ”

"Then, we can logically deduce that Peng Yue's target is Wancheng." Bao Hong also naturally followed this line of thought and inferred here, "But, is Wancheng really so important?" ”

"Wancheng is an important hub connecting Liu Biaojun in Jingzhou with the Central Plains. Wancheng is taken, then the entire Jingzhou is equivalent to an isolated island hanging in the air, and the situation has completely changed. Zong Ze explained.

"Although you think that there is no connection between Jingzhou and the Han army in various places now. However, in fact, Liu Biao's ability to be sent to Jingzhou is the biggest connection. If contact with the Central Plains had been severed at the beginning, then only the Jingzhou family would have fought alone. ”

Looking at Xun Wang and the others, it is obvious that the connection between them will become closer and closer. However, there is only one main channel, and if you occupy the channel, you can contact your allies openly, then the enemy can only contact your allies secretly, and you may intercept the messenger. The pros and cons of this are self-evident. Therefore, a city like Wancheng must not be lost. ”

Indeed, there is such a hub city, although it is not like the pass that can block all the communication channels of the other party, that is, even as a super supply station, it can play a huge role. The replacement of horses, and even all kinds of logistical transfers, etc., are too important.

"Well, let's assume that Peng Yue and Sun Xia will attack Wancheng together. Then, Liu Biao got the news and withdrew his troops to help. Bao Hong concluded, "In this way, the Yellow Turban Army in Xiangyang will chase it out?" Moreover, even if they chase them out, we will not have a good way to sneak in and seize the city gates, let alone capture the city. ”

"Indeed!" Zong Ze said in a deep voice, "The Yellow Turban Thieves occupy the city, and with spiritual sustenance, it is not so easy to defeat. If we can't capture Xiangyang City, even if we design to wipe out all the Yellow Turban troops that have been chased out, it will only be a drop in the bucket, and we can't shake the foundation of Jingzhou's Yellow Turbans at all. Therefore, the core of all plans is still the one that opens yes, and captures the city! ”

"Are the previous ones in vain?" Bao Hong wondered.

"No, no!" Ling Jing added on the side, "The previous one can be called a premise hypothesis, but what we just said is the goal we need. So, the next thing to consider is how to deal with this premise to achieve the goals we need? ”

"Oh! That's it! Bao Hong nodded and continued to think along this line.

"Then I think about it the other way, if I want to sneak to the city gate, I can only follow their ideas and pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army." Bao Hong continued, "However, in addition to pretending to be reinforcements, we can also pretend to be a rout!" ”

"That's a good idea!" Zong Ze nodded, affirming Bao Hong's thoughts.

"Then according to our thinking, Peng Yue attacked Wancheng, and Liu Biao returned to the army to support. and then induce the Xiangyang Yellow Turban to send troops to pursue. But we set up an ambush halfway and defeated it. Bao Hong suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, "And how about we disguise ourselves as the Yellow Turban Defeated Army, withdraw to Xiangyang with the defeated army, and seize the city gate by chance?" ”

Zong Ze nodded and said with a smile: "In fact, there are many ways to do this, such as Sun Xia has already returned to our army, and in the process of Liu Biao's retreat, he got in touch with the Xiangyang Yellow Turbans and asked the Xiangyang Yellow Turbans to send troops to cooperate with Peng Yue to attack from both sides." ”

"In fact, we can control how many troops the Yellow Turban will send!" Ling Jing sneered.

"Oh! What do you think? Bao Hong hurriedly asked.

"It's easy! Stress them out! Ling Jing smiled, "If there is a tepid confrontation like now, the Yellow Turban Army will not feel too much pressure. So do you think they're going to be able to kill it out in a hurry? ”

"If we had hurt them before then, would they have rushed out to destroy us when it was our turn?"

Hearing Ling Jing say this, Bao Hong thought that this was indeed the case. Only when a strong opponent has been suppressed and out of breath will he go all out to fall into the well when the opponent has a flaw.

"However, Liu Biao will not let us do such a thing as seizing the city gate." Bao Hong smiled, "According to this plan, it seems that there is nothing to do with us, and the biggest possibility is to cooperate with them to ambush the Yellow Turban Army pursued in Xiangyang City." ”

"What else would you like to add?" Bao Hong smiled, "I'll just go directly to Liu Biao and say it's not good, okay?" Do you want to find Xun Wang and them together? ”

"It's best to be with Mr. Xun Wang!" Ling Jingying said, "A celebrity like Liu Biao attaches great importance to face, and the rank and reputation of the generals are below him, and if he rashly goes to oppose his opportunity, I am afraid that he will have a grudge." ”

Bao Hong nodded: "That's okay, Mr. Xun Wang, they didn't come back with us, they may stay on Liu Biao's side, let's send someone to invite them over first!" Go and get busy! ”

At that moment, the guards were arranged to invite Xun Wang, and Zong Ze and the others also went back to deal with military affairs.

"Ding-dong...... Attention hosts! Attention hosts! ”

"The treasure containing the fragments of the system, the jade seal of the country is controlled by Liu Hong, Liu Hong's summoning ability has been greatly improved, and the summoning ability of the clan surnamed Liu has been slightly improved."

"Liu Hong summoned Queen Linghuai to succeed."
