Chapter 115: Strategist Liu Yuan

The capital of Shunju County.

When Yuan Hui led an army of 200,000 to pass through here, the head of the county, Zhang Yu, was flattering and groveling. But after he left, he immediately began to gather the officials of Shunzhou and come to the county government to discuss matters.

Now in the entire Wind Country, everyone knows that Lu Chen has 200,000 troops, and he wants to compete with Ding Rui, and he is also under the banner of crusading against traitors. Now that Yuan Hui has led the army to suppress it, if he wins, it is better to say, Zhang Yu can also continue to be the head of his Guanshan County, as for whether it is the Wind Country or the Jin Kingdom, he is too lazy to care!

But if Changyu loses, then it is obvious that Lu Chen's next target is undoubtedly Guanshan County. In this kind of big thing, Zhang Yu didn't dare to be sloppy, and he had to think about what to do next.

After all the officials in Shunzhou arrived, Zhang Yu sat directly above and said with a sad face:

"Presumably, everyone also knows that right now, Yuan Hui's army is on the border of Wuyang, and it is about to start a big battle with Lu Chen, and the royal order received by our county is to provide all the grain and grass supplies to Yuan Hui's army."

Zhang Yu is the head of the county, he just wants to keep his official position, as for whether it is the Feng Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, these are not within his consideration. The officials of Shunzhou have served under him for so long, and everyone naturally knows him better.

Seeing his frowning look at this time, the strategist Liu Yuan said: "Are you worried, if we provide Yuan Hui with food and grass supplies, it is equivalent to expressing our own position, if Yuan Hui is defeated by then, then we will definitely be hit by Lu Chen!" But if we don't give Yuan Hui grain and grass, but if Lu Chen is defeated, then Yuan Hui will definitely hold on to this matter and ask the adult! ”

This sentence can be said to have touched Zhang Yu's heart, and he said in an impatient voice: "Yes, yes, Mr. Liu Yuan said very much, this is what this official is worried about!" ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Yuan said: "If we want to solve this problem, first of all, we have to figure out which side is stronger in this battle between Lu Chen and Yuan Hui, or in other words, which of the two of them has the possibility of victory!" Only when this problem is solved can we make a sound decision. ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he said with a wry smile: "This, now that Lu and Yuan are on both sides, the strength of the army is 200,000, and the war has not started, who can guess the victory or defeat!" And more importantly, behind Yuan Hui, there are 500,000 Central Army! ”

"Hehe, my lord is too worried, the 500,000 central army is still in the capital, too far away from us, and we don't have to think about this for the time being." Liu Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said, "I have an idea to solve your current worries." ”

"Oh? If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly. Zhang Yu couldn't help but lean over and asked.

Liu Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "The grain and grass brought by Yuan Hui's army this time are still ten days, when they urge them to ask for grain and grass, we should first make a verbal promise, but in fact deliberately delay to observe, if within ten days, Yuan Hui does not show signs of defeat, we will give him a supply of grain and grass, if within ten days, Lu Chen has the advantage, then cut off his grain and grass!" ”

Yo! What a plan! In this way, neither side will be offended! When Zhang Yu heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise: "Good! Good! Good strategy! Just do what the gentleman wants! ”

Regarding Zhang Yu's idea of this kind of wall grass, Liu Yuan secretly shook his head, but he continued on his face: "In addition, I suggest that the lord should also send someone to Lu Chen's camp, at least, on the surface, to show him that he is on his side, so that if Lu Chen wins, our side will cut off Yuan Hui's grain and grass will also become a matter of course, instead of doing it at the sight of the situation." ”

Ah! I was in a dilemma, and I had been worried about it for so long, but it was solved by Liu Yuan in just a few words! And so thoughtful! Zhang Yu slapped his thigh and said happily: "Sir's plan is in my favor, and it deserves to be my No. 1 think tank in Guanshan County!" In the opinion of the gentleman, who should be sent? ”

"I am willing to share the worries of the adults, go to the Lu Chen military camp alone." Liu Yuan arched his hand and said.

Liu Yuan went in person, of course Zhang Yu couldn't be more relieved, he almost didn't even think about it, and responded on the spot.

And Liu Yuan, although he was working under Zhang Yu, from the very beginning, he saw at a glance that Zhang Yu was not the master, and Zhang Yu's short-sighted vision of just wanting to protect himself and doing nothing also disappointed Liu Yuan.

Don't look at him as if he is offering advice to Changyu on the surface, in fact, he wants to use Changyu as a springboard and switch to Lu Chen's account.

And in his opinion, this time Lu Yuan fights, Yuan Hui will definitely lose! Zhang Yu can't see the general trend of the Wind Country, he only knows that Ding Rui has a lot of troops, but who Liu Yuan is, how smart he is, and his long-term vision is by no means comparable to Changyu's kind of person.

When Liu Yuan was in the capital of Shunzhou County, he offered Zhang Yu a plan to meet the source left and right, but when he arrived at Lu Chen's camp, it was not the case at all.

I heard that my subordinates reported that Guanshan County had sent someone to visit the camp, and Lu Chen invited him in.

As soon as he entered the account, Liu Yuan gave a deep salute to Lu Chen after the handsome case, and said straight to the point:

"In Xia Liuyuan, I have come to offer the general a strategy to break the enemy, in my opinion, Yuan Hui's 200,000 thief army can be destroyed with a snap of a finger."

What a big breath this person has! As soon as I came up, I directly said such an arrogant sentence! When Lu Chen heard this, he asked with a smile:

"Isn't Mr. Liu Yuan the advisor under the first Zhang Yu account of Guanshan County? Why, you actually came here to offer a plan for our army? ”

"But Guanshan County, isn't it also the territory of the Wind Country?" Liu Yuan's face did not change and said: "The general is guilty of fighting in the sky, raising the flag to rebel, and we and other Shunzhou officials, both of whom are gale courtiers, must help each other!" ”

Yo! Hearing him say this, it seems to indicate that Guanshan County is willing to submit to his side! Lu Chen couldn't help but stand up, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and after a pause, he said faintly: "Mr. Liu Yuan has any good strategies to break the enemy, can you explain in detail." ”

"The general can know that at present, Yuan Hui's 200,000 people, the grain and grass in his army are only for ten days, and the follow-up is supplied by Guanshan County......"

"What do you mean......"

"The general can defend the city pass, and when Yuan Hui runs out of food, he will definitely be defeated and retreat to the south, and at this time, Guanshan County will close the city and refuse Yuan Hui's army to enter! In this way, Yuan Hui's 200,000 people, who could not defeat the general and broke Wuyang, could not retreat back to Guanshan for rest, and his army was exhausted, and the army's morale would be chaotic! Either a mutiny will be provoked, there will be mass deserters, or the whole army will have to starve to death in the wilderness! ”
