Chapter 938: Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth (Xuan Qingzhu Reward Plus Change)
"The key issue now is food. Without food, even a million soldiers will not help. If there is food, the general of Zhengdong will be able to recover, and it is by no means the enemy of Yuan Tan and Cao Ang. Guo Jia shook the feather fan and talked eloquently. However, the grain itself is not a problem, Suiyang has grain, Dangshan has grain, Peixian and Pengcheng also have grain, how to send grain to the hands of General Zhengdong, this is the biggest problem. Not to mention that Yuan Tan and Cao Ang will not let us get our wish, even if they don't stop us, we will need seven or eight days to prepare and transfer, and if we delay on the road, it may be more than ten days. ”
"Then what should I do, don't you save me when I die?" Sun Quan said loudly, tears on his face.
Guo Jia looked at Sun Quan and said word by word: "Of course you have to save, this issue does not need to be discussed, what is being discussed now is how to save." Do you have any way to get food security to Fanghe within 10 days? ”
Sun Quan was speechless.
"Since you can't deliver food, maybe you can consider taking food on the spot." Pang Tong said: "Yanzhou is a big state, Shanyang, Jiyin, and Rencheng are all densely populated places, and large counties with more than 10,000 household registrations abound. ”
"Oh, that's a good idea." Han Dang slapped his thigh, surprised and delighted. "We shouldn't go east, we should go north." He looked at the crowd and was a little embarrassed. "Actually, there was more food in Changyi, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to bring it."
Guo Jia nodded. "Shi Yuan's suggestion is indeed good, but we have to consider a problem, it is not easy to attack the city, even if it is an ordinary county town, if the other party has preparations, it cannot be taken quickly, it can only be attacked, and it will take ten days and half a month to prepare siege equipment, and we don't have this time at all. With Xinbi's ability, since such a big game has been arranged, there is no reason not to strengthen the defense in Rencheng. Wai San is missing one, and this one of his will be the swamps of Fang and Nan, not Ren Cheng. ”
Pang Tong bowed slightly, and then put forward his own opinion. "Rencheng family has a lot of heroes, even if you don't take the county seat, it is very easy to attack one or two manors and obtain three or five thousand stone grain."
"That's true. However, there are two issues to consider: first, Yanzhou is one of the most serious areas of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the year before the Qingzhou Yellow Turban entered Yanzhou, Rencheng is the battlefield, Ren Cheng Prime Minister Zheng Sui died in battle, Rencheng family Haoqiang suffered from this difficulty, will not fail to strengthen defense. Second, even if you are lucky, 35,000 stone is just a few days' eclipse, and you can only take it again after a few days. Successive attacks, facing a food shortage crisis at all times, how long can it last? ”
Han Dang couldn't help but ask: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what's the trick of sacrificing wine?" ”
Guo Jia laughed: "The tiger's mouth snatches food." ”
The generals looked at each other, not knowing what Guo Jia was talking about. Sun Ce was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Take the food of Yuan Tan and Cao Ang and eat?" ”
Guo Jia nodded. "Otherwise, General Zhengdong can't be saved."
Everyone gasped in unison. Even Han Dang's face was bloodless, and he didn't dare to say another word. Without baggage, counting on the other party's food to eat, and to feed the war with war, this is a big gamble. Desperately trying Sun Ce's life to save Sun Jian, either both father and son, or both father and son die, such a decision is no longer within the scope of a normal person's acceptance. But after thinking about it, this was originally a bureau set up by Xin Bi, the purpose was to lure Sun Ce into an ambush, and this result was the most normal result.
Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce and didn't dare to say a word.
The atmosphere in the big tent was extremely depressing for a while, and even the breathing was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.
Sun Ce twisted his fingers and muttered for a moment. "Since this is the case, then according to the strategy of sacrificing wine, snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and fight Yuan Tan and Cao Ang to the death."
"General......" Han Dang was relieved, and he didn't know what to say.
"Big brother......" Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and before his words fell, tears burst out of his eyes.
Sun Ce glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia seemed to be smiling. Sun Ce said: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the battlefield is a place of death, so there is no perfect plan to win." This battle is dangerous, I dare not force you to advance and retreat with me, for the convenience of movement, I can't bring too many people, I can only choose the bravest and most fearless soldiers, with one as ten, only have a chance to live to the death......"
Before Sun Ce could speak, Guan Yu stood up, stroked his smooth and shiny beard with his left hand, and gently pushed forward.
"Guan is willing to go."
Sun Ce looked at Guan Yu and laughed. "Yun Chang, I understand your feelings, but this battle is ......"
"It doesn't matter." Guan Yu stood proudly. "I want nothing more than to ask the general to give me two horses for a transfer. Even if the general doesn't go, Guan is willing to go to war alone and rescue Sun Zhengdong. The general healed my father, and I rescued your father, and since then the grievances have been settled. ”
"Okay, count you in, I'll have a horse for you later."
"Thank you." Guan Yu returned to the table, not squinting.
"Guan Yunchang, General Zhengdong is my Jiangdong hero, why should you save it from Hedong?" Dong Xi stood up and clasped his fists in salute. "General, Dong is willing to go."
"Running thousands of miles, it's the head of my cavalry, what are you doing with a foot soldier?" Ma Chao stood up unhurriedly, stood side by side with Dong Xi, and arched his hands. "General, in my opinion, you don't have to bother so much, you don't need to bring any personal guard battalions and righteous subordinate battalions, just bring cavalry. The foot pawn is too slow to keep up, and it will only lag behind. ”
"The cavalry is amazing, huh?" Lu Su stood up and said unhurriedly: "The foot soldier just doesn't ride a horse, if he has a horse, he may not be worse than the cavalry." General, Lu Su is not talented, slightly familiar with cavalry and shooting, and is willing to follow the general personally. ”
Not to be outdone, Jeon Rou stood up. "Like, are the cavalry amazing? A certain can also ride and shoot, although not as brave as General Ma, it is more than enough to serve as a knight. ”
"Whew-" Ma Chao raised his eyebrows when he saw that he had become the target of everyone. "You did it on purpose, right? This is to save people, don't be kidding, okay? ”
Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled everyone to be calm. "Meng Qi didn't mean that, don't be too sensitive. Running thousands of miles, cavalry is indeed more suitable. So let's take the lead with my cavalry and wait for an opportunity to grab food. Fengxiao, you rush to Peixian, dispatch in the center, prepare food and ordnance, and wait for my notification at any time. Boren (Jeonrou), you act with the sacrificial wine, and keep his safety as the first priority. Zijing, Yuan Dynasty, you led your troops to drive Lu Guo, waiting for an opportunity to enter Rencheng and cut off Cao Ang's retreat. If there is a chance, we will eat Cao Angbu. ”
Lu Su smiled heartily with Dong Xi and bowed down to receive the order. The battle of Pugupi was meritorious, they proved their ability, and they got the opportunity to act alone as they wished. Quan Rou looked at it in her eyes and sighed secretly. Once again, the opportunity slipped through the corner.
Sun Ce finally said to Han Dang: "Uncle Yigong, you still have to work hard, you go back and tell your father, ask him to be ready to fight back, and let Yuan Tan understand the methods of our father and son." ”
Han Dang was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.
"Guys, is there anything you don't know? If not, now go back to the camp and prepare, the cavalry will set off early tomorrow morning, and the others will attack in turn according to the deployment. ”
The generals agreed.
