Chapter 885: Suspicious Success or Failure

In the first battle of Qingzhou, due to the Cao army occupying the first opportunity, Yu Ban acted quickly, Cao Ren Lejin and others responded effectively, the Qingzhou battalion broke through the blockade of Xu Huanglong's army and the Liyi Flame Army and the Taishi Ci Beiping army arrived before the retreat to Licheng, completing Cao Cao's strategic goal of abandoning Qingzhou and holding Yanzhou with all his might formulated before the war. Although they all suffered heavy casualties, and even the battle losses of the Cao army were still above the other party, the mood of the generals on both sides at this time was completely different, the five generals of the Yan army blamed themselves in their hearts, and felt that they had been entrusted by the king of Yan, and Yu Ban, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others were obviously more relaxed, after all, they could be regarded as escaping death!

However, after the war, the three generals all agreed that this time they could successfully withdraw from Qingzhou, and the continuous heavy snow did help a lot, if it were not for this, the cavalry maneuver of the Yan army could be brought into play, I am afraid that today's battle situation is completely two looks, recuperating for two years, and the already strong combat power of the Yan army has been greatly improved! And this improvement is still multifaceted, and the more terrifying point is that the enemy has overwhelmed their own in terms of overall physical fitness, as a general, how can the three of them not know the meaning of this? The advantages of the Yan army in the Great War have been fully revealed.

And Liu Yi and his commanders' reaction and keen awareness of the battle situation were still beyond everyone's expectations, from the launch of the battle to the confrontation between the two armies, the speed of the Yan army was breathtaking, if any of the three generals Tai Shici, Xu Huang, and Lu Yi took a step faster, or the heavy snow stopped two days earlier! These situations are already fearful in the forbidden generals, there is indeed no if on the battlefield, and the situation of this battle cannot be changed, but this Qingzhou battle is just the outpost of the Yan army's march into the Central Plains, this time they still have the advantage of news to seize the opportunity, but next? The Yan army that has suffered a setback in Yanzhou's strategy will definitely be more courageous, and the slightest carelessness will be the loss of the army!

When the two sides of the battle of Qingzhou fought fiercely, Hanzhong was also in full swing, Zhang Hu used Ma Chao Sizhou Iron Cavalry to give Cao Cao's army a lot of casualties, but then Cao Mengde's use of the battle array was perfect, with the strength of the troops, he used the tacit understanding between the various formations and the advance and retreat to make it difficult for the elite of the Sizhou Iron Cavalry to do half an inch and then had to retreat, among which Ma Chao was also doing everything possible to find the enemy's flaws, but Cao's army marched rigorously and impeccable, At this time, I was convinced in my heart of the evaluation of King Yan and his military advisors on Cao Cao, the enemy in front of him!

Ma Chaofang retreated, Zhang Hu personally led the army to come up, the two sides and the six horses fought a fierce battle, in the face of Cao Cao's absolute superiority of the army, Zi Cai used the strategy of doubtful soldiers, with Han sergeants mixed with Zhang Xiu's elite Chang'an battalion to pretend to be the Yan operation of Zhang Liao, the main force of the Yan army, which allowed the Cao army to take the initiative to retreat after half a day of the war! King Yan's words are really not bad, Cao Mengde is far-sighted, proficient in the art of war, it is extremely difficult to win a battle between the two armies, but it is not without weaknesses, or it can also be said to be his advantage, that is, suspicious, psychological warfare can often play a miraculous effect!

Cao Cao's suspicion is more famous in history, and the official history of Romance is like this, so there are two arrangements made by Zhuge Liang Huarong Dao and Han Shui for his character, which can be described as a model of psychological warfare! But Liu Yi's judgment is definitely not based only on the evaluation of Cao Cao by later generations, as he comes to this era for a long time, Lang Sheng believes more in his own vision and judgment, and everything else can only be used as a reference. In this life, he has had a deep contact with Cao Cao since the West Garden, and he has always regarded this person as his greatest rival in his life, how can he not understand his opponent deeply? It should be said that Liu Yi's study of Cao Cao is more detailed and comprehensive than Cao Cao's study of him!

For the king or the superior, suspiciousness is actually an extremely good quality, and how many people who are eloquent and strategic throughout the ages are not suspicious? Even in the affairs of soldiers, such suspicion is also of great help. Although there is a saying in the art of war that "the front is the back, the back is the front, the left is the right, the right is the left, and the right is the left, and everything is all", but people like Liu Yi and Cao Cao will know this principle and will pursue all-encompassing, because any small mistake on the battlefield is enough to affect the entire battle situation, and the success or failure of a major war is enough to affect the great cause pursued by the heroes of troubled times. It is the best way to have some doubts about your own arrangements in the midst of war!

Of course, everything is too much, excessive suspicion can give the opponent a lot of opportunities to take advantage of and be used by it, especially when improvising, the battle array is changing rapidly, many times will require the commander to make a major decision in a very short time, generally speaking, in this case there is not much time to make a careful analysis, relying on their own experience and first feeling to act has become inevitable! Before the second army of Yanyun Huwei reached Hanzhong, the battle situation was disrupted as much as possible, creating more complex and diverse situations, which was a suggestion made by Liu Yi to Zhang Hu, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, in this war, and it was also his experience in studying Cao Cao!

When people have achieved great achievements in a field or reached a fairly high position, they must be convinced of their own judgment, which is human nature without exception, and a careful analysis of Cao Cao's performance in the middle and late stages of another time and space also verifies this truth! He who said, "I am the wisdom of the world, and if I use the Tao to control it, I can do anything", he just failed to do this, and when Jing Xiang was from Jia Xu, and when he was in Yizhou, Na Xunyu said that the general trend of the world would be different, and it was more appropriate to say that Cao Cao was "false to everyone, Allah will" Although there is bias!

In fact, Liu Bei, another male in the late Han Dynasty, is not the same, the difference between him and Cao Cao is only that the blow to his confidence in the early stage is too serious, and after he went down to Yizhou to seize Hanzhong and carry the position of Hanzhong, he also had this kind of performance, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army marched into Xiangfan without any Shuzhong strategy, including the one that insisted on his own views to defeat Wu in Liu Yi's opinion, it is likely to be produced in this mentality. Maicheng was defeated for eternity, the heroes of the burning company were short of breath, and the great cause of hard work and loneliness was in vain!

Such a mentality Liu Yi can't avoid it, especially after having today's prestige and status, the invincibility on the battlefield makes him full of infinite confidence in any decision he makes, and subconsciously always thinks that his opinion is to look at the overall situation from a high vantage point. However, compared with Cao Liu Shuangxiong, Liu Yi has a unique advantage, that is, the two lives brought by the crossing, the merits of thousands of years, the rise and fall of the dynasty, no one can compare with Lang Sheng in this experience, he will always be vigilant that he must not make a mistake, in addition, he is brainstorming, and truly use collective wisdom to solve problems, rather than saying his own opinions through the mouth of others, and he must also walk on thin ice on the mentality, at least Liu Yi will strictly require himself to do so before the unification of the world, which is undoubtedly very tiring, But who made his goal to dominate the world?

There is no doubt about employing people, people have the biggest premise of making the best use of their talents, that is, the superior must have a comprehensive understanding of the ability of his subordinates, but also to determine his loyalty to himself, Zhang Hu has followed Liu Yi for more than ten years and has repeatedly made military exploits, and the monarchs and ministers know each other very well, and the confidence of Langsheng to pay all the battles in Hanzhong is not in his own presence, so he is only a suggestion about the strategy of dealing with Cao Cao, he has always dared to delegate power to the members of the town, and the blockage of news in the era of cold weapons makes remote command impossible to become a reality, The result of being respectful is likely to be sad everywhere!

Of course, Zhang Hu attaches great importance to King Yan's suggestion, and the longer he gets along with Liu Yi, it is more and more difficult to see through this lord, maybe this is the way of the king, but one thing is certain, his vision of people will never be wrong, and it is also the result of countless facts verification, and his judgment on Cao Mengde coincides with Zhang Hu himself, and now it is just a small test! When the enemy is strong and I am weak, he must take advantage of this shortcoming of the other party, as long as he withstands the initial burst, as soon as Zhang Liao and Zhang He's army arrives, he will have more room for maneuver, and it will also increase the success of this battle!
