Linzi was called Yingqiu in ancient times, because of the Linzi River, renamed Linzi, since Jiang Taigong, has been the capital of Qi State, it can be said that it is a place where soldiers must fight,

As soon as Zang Ba, who spread out the map, said this, Chang Xuan lost his patience, urged, and said: "Xuangao, you know this, you should do this, it is better for the army to go to Linzi now, the so-called soldiers are fast, surprisingly victorious, everyone can say that this is the reason, right?" ”

"Isn't the use of soldiers just about a soldier who is expensive and fast, and wins by surprise!" Zang Ba smiled and pointed to his stomach and said, "But you have forgotten that there is another sentence in the art of war that the three armies go first before moving the grain and grass, and there is also a knowing that the enemy will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

Sun Guan squinted and held back his glance, and wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, but Wu Dun and Yin Li didn't scruple so much, and laughed out loud, and for a while, Chang Xuan's face turned blue for a while, and he was embarrassed and anxious. Born of a rough person like him, it was hard to hear such a few words, and then let him think of some words to move back to the sky, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky, so he simply snorted haha, resolved the embarrassment, and said: "Haha, I just said this in passing, the formation before the formation has always been arranged by Xuangao, and I am responsible for going into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

"I can't say that, the so-called one person is short and two people are long, how to deal with the Jizhou Army, you still need to be a counselor or two with me." Zang Ba looked at the location of Linzi in Qi State on the map, and said: "Actually, Lao Chang's previous words are not unreasonable, if you fight, you have to fight as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of the three armies will be discharged, and this cane will not be easy to fight, but the grain and grass Kong Rong has just been prepared, just waiting to load the car, if we set off like this, in case there is a bad pool, and the dry food will run out." That's the risk of annihilation. ”

"What Xuan Gao said is good, but it's best to urge Wang Xiu. Otherwise, the longer it takes to prepare the grain and grass, the greater the possibility of leakage of the news. At that time, if Wen Chou learns about it, I am afraid that there will also be a possibility of annihilation. Sun Guan said worriedly, and this was not Zang Ba's worry, but he didn't say it, and he kept holding it in his heart.

Alas, I thought that Kong Rong promised to be happy and able to lead troops into the Qi country immediately, but I didn't expect that he was still too tender, and people just said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring. Once the grain and grass have been prepared, how long will it take? This person can not be tired, compared with these literati, he is still too tender, he doesn't have those fancy intestines, and he really thinks that he and Kong Rong take what they need, so they can share the same hatred, but they blame themselves for being too young.

"Haha, Xuan Gao. I've heard you speak ill of me. At this moment, Wang Xiu laughed and entered Zang Ba's tent. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that he had given Wang Xiu's order not to be stopped when he came to see him, otherwise his main tent was not something that he Wang Xiu could come if he wanted to.

"Uncle Zhi is here. There must be good news? Looking at Wang Xiu, who had a smug face, Zang Ba instantly understood his purpose here, and couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that the grain and grass have been prepared?" ”

"Isn't it? And not only proper. The first batch has been opened, how to promote the high. Kong Taishou and I are not as bad as you say in this matter, are we? This sentence can be regarded as Wang Xiu's reign, and he and Kong Rong are justified, otherwise the two of them may really become the treacherous and cunning sinister villain in Zang Ba's heart.

"Yes. Yes, it's my villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, but I only accept your Wang Shuzhi's love, as for that Kong Rong, hehe, forget it, I'm not a fool, I can see that this time it's all because of Wang Xiu's two-sided mediation, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth. ”

This sentence is a bit damning, if this Beihai County Guard is not a humble gentleman like Kong Rong, then as soon as Zang Ba says this, then he is afraid that his little life will not be guaranteed, fortunately, it is Tao Envoy Jun, of course, he did not blame Zang Ba, with his understanding of it, this is not what he deliberately said, but he is telling the truth.

Immediately, Wang Xiu changed the topic and said, "Xuan Gao, this time you went to Qi State, do you have a plan?" ”

"There's already a plan." Zang Ba's face was a little hesitant and entangled, and he was very entangled for a long time before he suddenly said, "I plan to divide the troops." ”

Wang Xiu also led the soldiers, as soon as he heard the word division of troops, his face immediately showed a look of worry, but he clearly found that the rest of the people in the tent didn't seem to be worried, which proved that they must have known about it a long time ago, but why didn't they persuade him, I'm afraid that Zang Ba must have come up with a perfect plan, otherwise they wouldn't support him so unconditionally. Subconsciously said: "Xuan Gao, dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers, is it possible that you already have a good strategy to break the enemy, so you will separate?" ”

"I don't dare to say whether it's a good strategy or not, but I think dividing the troops is the best choice at the moment." Zang Ba looked at Zishui and said: "We will send troops now, and we will inevitably meet Wen Chou halfway, so I plan to divide half of the main force to go to Zishui and reach Linzi City, forcing Yuan Tan to recruit Wen Chou to come back to help!" Zang Ba didn't even say these words to Sun Guan and a few people, and the reason why he hesitated before was to consider whether Wang Xiu could be trusted, otherwise once his battle plan was leaked, the strange soldiers sent to Linzi were likely to wipe out the entire army, but he finally chose to trust Wang Xiu, stared at the map with his eyebrows twisted, and said: "Shuzhi, what do you think the chances of winning after separation?" ”

"It's a dangerous strategy, but if it succeeds, it will work wonders." Wang Xiu only gave such a comment, he really didn't dare to make any suggestions, let alone imagine the results of the battle, in his opinion, after the division of troops, there are only three chances of winning at most, but there is a chance of half without dividing the troops, if he commands this battle, with his temperament, Wang Xiu can guarantee that he will definitely choose to fight to the death with Wen Chou, and he will never take such a big risk, you must know that even if he is now 50,000 horses, even if he is all sent to attack a metropolis like Linzi, the chance of victory is not high, let alone after the division of troops.

Of course, Zang Ba's original intention was just to force Yuan Tan to recall Wen Chou, so that he could take the opportunity to beat the water dogs, but Yuan Tan in a metropolis like Linzi would not be scared to recall Wen Chou unless he was really forced to the last resort.

But Zang Ba is very sure, as long as the strange soldiers arrive, Yuan Tan will definitely recall Wen Chou, this is the so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao, since he knows where the weakness of the Jizhou army is in this battle, even if he takes a big risk. Zang Ba has to give it a try.

Wang Xiu glanced at Zang Ba, who had a firm face, and sighed. "Now that Xuan Gao has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. Here, I wish you a victorious start and a triumphant return. ”

"Then I will inherit the good words of my uncle to treat you. Zang Ba let out a hearty laugh, this battle is to provoke Yuan Tan, a gentleman, to fight, and the victory or defeat of this battle can be placed on his hands.

It has never been Zang Ba's will to fight hard with Wen Chou, not to mention that he will not get any benefits, and he will fall into the quagmire of entanglement, but it is better to start with Yuan Tan and force him to withdraw his troops more realistically.

Wang Xiu seemed to understand Zang Ba's psychology. It can't be said that his idea is wrong, but this is indeed in line with the current situation in Beihai, and it also shows that Zang Ba does have courage beyond ordinary people, and his courage is amazing. But after all, this matter is related to the safety of the entire Beihai territory, and he needs to remind him a little, so that he should be careful.

However, it seems that his words are superfluous.

In addition to commanding the war, Zang Ba, who is an expert, has more say, since he has made up his mind. He will no longer listen to the so-called kind reminders of others, because he has already taken into account the possible dangers and unpredictable possibilities, so what he has to consider now is not how feasible this matter is, but how to better avoid risks.

"Alright guys. Since the grain and grass have begun to be escorted, then we will prepare early and send troops to Qi early tomorrow morning! ”

"No!"

After a few people gave their salutes. They all left.

Wang Xiu still had a lot to say, and he didn't plan to leave at all. Seeing this situation, Zang Ba simply invited him to the inner tent. Let the guy get some drinks and meals, and simply talk while eating, but it is also casual and tight.

In the inner tent, Wang Xiu was also casual, not as casual as in the big tent, when Zang Ba was pouring wine, he once again asked the doubts in his heart, just like the four people before, why was Yuan Tan so sure that Yuan Tan would recall Wen Chou after the sudden appearance of the strange soldiers.

Zang Ba just smiled mysteriously, and said that he didn't say much if he was instructed by a master, as soon as this came out, Wang Xiu was even more confused, a master pointed out? But who is it? There are only a handful of people who can guide Zang Ba in this Beihai territory, but for a while, Wang Xiu can't figure out any clues.

"It's Liu Lan." When toasting Wang Xiu, Zang Ba said the answer, which was unexpected, but it was reasonable, I am afraid that no one around knows the situation of the Jizhou army better than Liu Lan.

"Liu Lan is a world-famous general, if it is his proposal, this staff will not only be beaten, but also beaten hard."

Zang Ba's expression changed in a row, this is the celebrity effect, the same thing, he said all kinds of doubts, but once he changed his words and said that he was guided by Liu Lan, a famous general in the world, his attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he drank all the wine in the bottle, but said: "He did not instruct me how to fight with the Jizhou army, how to fight with the Jizhou army, but only made an analysis of the enemy general from the aspect of character command and operation, and it is because of this that I formulated a battle plan to go to Zishui and attack Yuan Tan." ”

"Xuan Gao, Xuan Gao." Wang Xiu smiled bitterly, and was calculated by him: "From the beginning to the end of this battle, Kong Junshou and a certain completely trust Xuangao you, not at all because of whether Liu Lan is suitable for face-to-face teaching!" ”

"I understand." Zang Ba didn't think about it, and said: "But sometimes, to persuade Kong Taishou to go all out to support me in the front line to fight with the Jizhou army, only I can't, but if this battle involves Liu Lan, even if it is only because he has made some suggestions, then Kong Junshou will definitely fully support me." ”

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, he really didn't expect Zang Ba to have such a scheming, and said: "It seems that Xuan Gao still has concerns." ”

"There is no room for sloppiness in marching operations, and after a certain person goes to Qi State, the matter of Beihai still needs to be treated by Shuzhi You need to worry a lot, no matter what rumors appear......"

"Xuan Gao, rest assured, if there is a certain person, you can just rest assured about the front-line war."

"In addition, if the Jizhou army appears in Xixian County, no matter whether they attack the city or not, they must defend to the end, and they must not abandon the city until they have to." Zang Ba finally told him about the situation that might happen, that is, after Yuan Tan asked Wen Chou to return to the army, he was likely to make several possibilities, but it was not impossible for him to return to the division with the whole army, or send troops back to help, or even send troops to attack the drama county, but at that juncture, Zang Ba did not dare to guarantee how Wen Chou would choose, but he had to take precautions in advance of what might happen.

"Okay, I will definitely come to the city tower in person when the time comes, stick to the city, and persuade Kong Taishou that he will never surrender easily, let alone abandon the city."

"That's the case, that's for the best."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After separating from Zang Ba, Wang Xiu went to see Kong Rong, in the elegant bedroom, the two talked in a low voice, and when Kong Rong learned that Zang Ba was instructed by Liu Lan, he immediately smiled: "Haha, Deran, he is a famous general in the world, not only wise and brave, but also the first opportunity of the enemy, no wonder this Zang Ba dares to be so bold, I just said that there must be a master behind to guide me, you see, sure enough, now think about it carefully, such a bold style of action is not the same as Liu Lan's use of soldiers, in this way, I can also feel at ease." Kong Rong, who had a sickly face, couldn't even speak well before, but after hearing about Liu Lan, it was like a river, which was really unexpected by Wang Xiu, he never thought that Liu Lan would have such a high evaluation in his heart, and he would praise him so much.

Wang Xiu spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect the county guard to have such a high opinion of Liu Lan, this is really rare." If this is from the hand of a martial artist, he will not be surprised at all, but if it comes from the mouth of a great Confucian like Kong Rong, it is too rare.

"Brother Shuzhi, you came to Beihai relatively late, and you have not intersected with Liu Lan, although Liu Lan is a small official, but he is Mao Shi's master Liu Yuanqi, and his literary attainments are not much worse than commanding wars, I used to only think that he had a unique insight into Mao's poetry, but I didn't want to even have a unique insight into my Confucian ancient texts, which made me look at him differently."

"Won't it?" If Kong Rong, who can get praise from everyone in ancient literature, has a unique insight in "Ancient Literature", it will not be a simple person: "Could it be that this Liu Lan is really born to know?" ”

"If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I don't believe that there really is anyone in this world who is born to know."

"In this world, there are so many capable people."

"No, no, no, there is only such an all-rounder as Liu Lan in this world."

Wang Xiu took over the conversation and said: "There is another person, Cao Mengde from Yanzhou, who once had a relationship with him, and he is by no means worse than Liu Lan. ”

Kong Rong shook his head, with a look of disdain, and said, "It's just after the eunuch party, not enough to mention." ”

What years have it been now, I didn't expect Kong Junshou to still talk about this, Wang Xiu smiled bitterly and didn't answer. (To be continued.) )
