Chapter 493: Rumors

Jizhou military camp, Chinese army big tent.

Wang Lei looked happy and said: "Today's battle was beautiful and wonderful. Yuan Shao's soldiers attacked several times, but they were all defused one by one, and our soldiers, with almost no loss, were really wonderful. In this battle, Yuan's army lost thousands of people, and its morale was even more frustrated, so it fought well. ”

In the words, Wang Lei couldn't help but show a strong appreciation.

Wang Lei changed his words and said: "The victory in this battle is all due to Zhang Jaw's hegemony. In this battle, Zhang Jaw made great contributions. ”

Zhang Jaw said humbly: "Only by relying on the prestige of the lord can we win!" ”

Wang Lei laughed, waved his hand and said, "Here, there is no need to be polite." ”

Guo Jia continued: "Lord, the morale of the Yuan army has been frustrated, and further, you can start the plan to disturb Yuan Shao's army's heart." The morale was low, the army was in turmoil, and the Yuan army was undoubtedly defeated. ”

Wang Lei nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and ordered: "Wenhe, immediately send people to spread rumors that Yuan Shao's army has lost and is about to return to Bohai County with his troops." ”

"No!"

Jia Xu respectfully responded.

……

The camp of the Yuan army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shao sat directly above him sullenly, with a serious expression, as if there was frost that could not be dissolved. The first time he sent troops, he didn't even break through Wang Lei's camp, and the blow to Yuan Shao was very big. For a while, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

"Wang Lei's camp is solid and impregnable, do you have any good suggestions?" Yuan Shao wilted, looking at everyone with a pleading gaze.

The arrogance that was high above was long gone.

Gao Ran lowered his head, he lost the battle before, and Gao Ran was very frustrated in his heart.

The rest of the people looked worried.

Xu You thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Lord, for today's plan, I can only go off the beaten path and try the rest of the methods." ”

"What's the solution?"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, and a hint of hope rose in his eyes.

Xu You said: "If you can't succeed on the ground, you will go underground to attack." Send soldiers to dig tunnels and go underground to kill them. As long as he suddenly enters Wang Lei's camp, he will definitely be able to achieve victory. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he began to weigh whether this suggestion could be operated?

After Gao Rou listened, she shook her head and said, "Sir's suggestion may be effective for other people. But for Wang Lei, the effect is not great. Today's battle is enough to see that the defense of the Jizhou army camp is meticulous, and the generals of the other side know the essentials of defense even more. Therefore, the other side will definitely dig a big pit in the camp in advance, arrange a large vat, and send soldiers to listen to it. There is no need to use the strategy of digging tunnels. ”

After Xu You heard this, he did not refute.

In today's battle, no matter how Gao Ran attacks, the opponent can always deal with it calmly and give Gao Ran a strong counterattack. This kind of defense is already leaky, and all kinds of means are used superbly, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

It was only when Yuan Shao was discouraged that Xu You made a suggestion.

Yuan Shao stood up irritably, flicked his sleeves, and sighed lightly: "That's it, that's it, stop marching for the time being." Everyone went down to rest and get ready. I don't believe it, I don't believe that Wang Lei will keep cowering in the camp. ”

The civilian and military generals in the battalion retreated one after another.

Yuan Shao sat alone in the tent, extremely depressed.

At nightfall, the moon hangs high.

Yuan Shao ate dinner and read a book in the tent. However, the defeat during the day made Yuan Shao's heart extremely irritable, and he could not be relieved, he put on a cloak and went out of the camp and inspected the camp. He wandered around aimlessly alone. Suddenly, Yuan Shao stopped.

"You know what? In the daytime battle, Lord Taishou could not break through the camp of the Jizhou army. I heard that Taishou was too disheartened and did not plan to fight again, and planned to withdraw to Bohai County. ”

"If that's the case, we can pack our bags and get ready to go back to Bohai County to read the full text of the Spirit Snake's Kiss."

"Fart, this battle has just begun, how can you withdraw your troops?"

"Don't believe it, think about the situation when Lord Taishou and Wang Lei are fighting. Taishou has attacked Wang Lei several times, which time, Taishou Lord won? ”

"In my opinion, Lord Taishou will not be able to defeat Wang Lei, and he will definitely choose to protect himself, withdraw to Bohai County with the army, and guard his own one-third of an acre."

The sound of the soldier's quiet conversation came to Yuan Shao's ears.

Yuan Shao's anger rose, and he couldn't wait to immediately correct the soldiers who were talking to him on the spot. He thought about it, but gave up again. If the soldiers are killed, I am afraid that the plan to withdraw will really be confirmed. In addition, the war situation is unfavorable, and the execution of soldiers is more likely to cause turmoil in the morale of the army.

Yuan Shao left quietly, thinking that he would go to the rest of the places to see, and then go to the rest of the places. To Yuan Shao's surprise, the rumors of the withdrawal spread throughout the barracks.

Such a situation is really incredible.

When, is he going to withdraw his troops? Who told the soldiers that he was going to withdraw? A series of questions arose in Yuan Shao's heart, but none of them could be answered.

Yuan Shao's mind turned and he sensed that the situation was not good.

This may be Wang Lei's trick.

Wang Lei spread rumors and shook his military morale.

After Yuan Shao returned to the camp, he ordered: "Come on, please look high!" ”

A short time later, Gao Ran came to the camp in armor. Although it was already late, Gao Ran had not rested, he hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Gao Ran, meet the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Sit!" ”

Gao Ran sat upright, waiting for Yuan Shao to speak.

Immediately, Yuan Shao told what happened in the camp, and then ordered: "In the camp, there are rumors that Ben Taishou is going to withdraw his troops and return to Bohai County. This matter must be handled as soon as possible and must not affect the morale of the military. You immediately investigate the matter and, appease, the soldiers, to silence the wind. If Wang Lei is not defeated, Ben Tai will not withdraw from the army. ”

"Yes!"

Gao Ran responded with a fist clenched and respectfully exited the camp.

Next, Gao Ran started to dust off the situation, but the news had spread throughout the camp, and the soldiers already knew that even if Gao Ran was strong in Shan suppression, the morale of the army would be greatly affected. In the next two days, Wang Lei did not make any moves, while Gao Ran continued to deal with the problem of military morale and eliminate the impact of rumors.

"Report!"

A soldier came to Gao Lan's camp and reported: "General, Wang Lei has led the army out of the camp." ”

"Are you sure?" Gao Ran asked.

The soldier nodded his head again and again, and said, "Sure, sure!" ”

Gao Ran waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and immediately got up and went to Yuan Shao's camp. After entering, Gao Ran said: "Lord, Wang Lei has finally sent troops. ”

Yuan Shaoshu stood up and asked, "Is the news confirmed?" ”

Gao Ran said: "Sure! ”

A look of excitement appeared in Yuan Shao's eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw, and he did not hesitate to give the order: "Pass the order, the army will gather and prepare for battle." In this battle, Wang Lei must be defeated. ”

"No!"

Gao Ran turned and left the camp to gather the army.
