Chapter 245: Xu Yu's 'Anti-Strategy'
On the south bank of the Yellow River - the camp of the Yuan army, where hundreds of thousands of horses are stationed, look at the past: the walls are towering, as solid as a rock, and the trenches are all over the place, crisscrossing the ground...... The radius covers an area of more than 90 miles, and in the daytime, the flag flutters, like dancing clouds, which makes people daunting; In the middle of the night - the bonfires flickered like stars, and they were almost innumerable; Among them, the most densely lit place is Yuan Shao's Chinese army tent!
As a general, Yuan Shao's status is extremely noble, and he comes from a family of gate lords, and he has a lot of etiquette by nature, and the Chinese military tent where he lives is naturally different, in short, six words: huge, extravagant, rich!
First of all, it is huge: the general commander's big tent, sleeping and resting in the back, discussing affairs in front, can accommodate one or two hundred people, even if it is relatively large, Yuan Shao's Chinese military tent is different, thirty zhang from east to west, fifty zhang from north to south, and more than five zhang high, which can set up a banquet of thousands of people, and it is not crowded at all, compared with ordinary palaces, the area is not inferior!
This is just the front account, if you add the back account, side account, kitchen account, and guard account...... It is completely a palace complex, covering an area of hundreds of zhang wide, and the huge wood, cloth, felt, and rope used to build tents are ...... and all kinds of daily necessities, it takes hundreds of carriages to transport them!
The second is luxury: in order to highlight the majesty of the general, the Chinese army tent is magnificent, the pillar is golden silk nanmu - tall and stout, the curtain is Xishu splendid - beautiful as a cloud, the stall is the camel hair of the Western Regions - warm and comfortable, even the rope used to fix the big tent is also woven of white yak leather, which is both strong and beautiful, and the most important thing is that the price is expensive.
The interior decoration can not be bad, tables, couches, incense burners, lamps, tableware...... All daily necessities, all inlaid with jewelry, gold and silver decorations, simply exceed the palace house, the Han family has the emperor, there are many here, the Han family does not have it, here can also be found, someone privately estimated, in order to build this military tent, and maintain its daily operation, the annual consumption of money, materials, need the tax support of the two counties, extravagance is huge, unprecedented!
In the end, it is enriched: other people's Chinese army tents, that is, daily life, meetings, and receptions...... Several functions, Yuan Shao's big tent is different, eating, drinking, playing, sleeping, fitness, reading, appreciation...... Colorful and functional, there is only the unexpected, there is nothing that cannot be done!
Private Kitchen Account: Twelve hours a day, the fire is never extinguished, all kinds of precious ingredients, everything, there are hundreds of chefs, at any time to supply the general's diet, day by day, never repeat!
Yuefu Account: With hundreds of female musicians and singers, all of them can sing and dance, and their appearance is outstanding, when the general is depressed, he can come to be merry and happy, which is better than living immortals!
Treasure Tent: There are countless rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as a variety of precious books, all of which are some unique and rare books, ......in addition, there is also a group of literati and ink writers, special vassal elegance, for the general to sing praises for virtue!
……………………………………………………
Such a luxurious Chinese army tent, people can't help but talk about it, all say that the general is not here to fight, but to follow the ancient emperors, go out to tour and play, as for the bloody soldiers, looking at the comrades who died on the battlefield, thinking of the hometown relatives who eat chaff, they can't help but feel resentful, and they begin to deviate from morality!
………………………………………………………………………………………
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was wearing a Shu brocade robe, holding a sword, sitting on the handsome position, his face was full of sadness, the attendants were all hiding in the distance, no one dared to lean over, the battle in front was not smooth, the general was in a bad mood, he was always angry, and he had executed more than a dozen singers, five literati and inkmen, and smashed a lot of antique jade............
This time to the south, Hebei dispatched hundreds of thousands of horses, millions of young and strong people, but also consumed countless ordnance, grain and grass, ready to thunder the momentum, in one fell swoop to eliminate the main force of the Cao army, break through Xuchang City, welcome the Han Emperor, and reach the world's major events, who would have thought that the war was unfavorable and difficult step by step!
According to Yuan Shao's estimation in his heart, in a month or two at most, his army will be able to break through Guandu and go straight to Xuchang City, the nest of the Cao army, and realize his dream of dominating the Central Plains, leveling Kyushu, and establishing a 'Yuan dynasty'!
It's a pity, the dream is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, the Cao army is united, stubbornly defending the Guandu defense line and not retreating, the Yuan army attacked day and night, countless casualties, and never able to cross the thunder pool one step, a full half a year has passed, the battle situation is still unclear, it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, and there are even signs of reversal!
The Hebei group originally planned: 'send troops from the north and south, flank the Cao army, disperse its forces, and win in one fell swoop', but as a result, on the Huainan battlefield, the Jiangdong people and horses were defeated and had retreated to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and even the little overlord - Sun Ce was seriously injured, and sent someone to send a letter, continuing to ask for war horses, ordnance, grain and grass, as a reward for their troops, the general of the defeated army, also dared to speak, is really unreasonable?
After the end of the war in the south, 100,000 Cao troops rushed north to help, and also brought a large number of ordnance, grain and grass, and the Guandu defense line was stronger.
As for the Guandu battlefield, the soldiers of the Yuan army tried their best, invested countless troops and material resources, attacked day and night, and made many moves, but it was still difficult to defeat the enemy, and said a word of conscience: "It's not that the soldiers of the Yuan army are incompetent, it's really that the Cao army is too cunning!" ”
Several strong attacks were ineffective, Yuan Jun changed his tactics, at the beginning of the frustration of the strategy, or 'clumsy and clever' method, continued to build barriers, advance step by step, use archers to suppress the enemy, forced Cao Jun to give up the Guandu defense line, and then used the advantage of troops, divided into several roads, marched together, smashed the city of Xuchang, and locked the victory in one fell swoop!
Thinking of the victory in White Horse City, Yuan Shao agreed to this strategy, immediately mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, built the barrier day and night, took two months, consumed countless manpower and material resources, and finally advanced to the vicinity of Guandu, and the archers were also arranged in place, and it was about to be completed......
That knows, Cao Jun launched hundreds of cars, strange appearance, great power, can throw huge stones, the distance is three or four hundred steps, far beyond the range of bows and arrows, this time Yuan Jun archers are unlucky, rocks flying, dense as hail, shields can not resist at all, only smashed their heads and blood, countless casualties, even the built barriers, also smashed more than half, 'step by step' plan completely failed!
The victory or defeat of the soldiers is a common thing, a plan cannot be achieved, a plan is regenerated, the strategist - Guo Tu offers a plan, the open attack is not successful, you can sneak attack, send people to secretly dig tunnels, go straight to the Cao army camp, and then send out elite warriors, under the combination of inside and outside, you must break through the defense line of Guandu and smash Xuchang City!
Yuan Shao was anxious to win immediately, and immediately took a suggestion, and one side mobilized his men and horses to launch a fierce attack to confuse Cao's army; On the other side, they sent people to dig tunnels day and night, and it took two months to finally touch Cao Jun's feet, and they were ready to make a sudden sneak attack......
As a result, the 'digging army' is a step ahead, and the location of the tunnel has already been discovered, Yuan Jun climbed out of one, and immediately hacked one to death, as easy as catching a mouse, and finally opened the gate to release water, filling several tunnels, poor Yuan Army's thousands of elite warriors, all buried in the tunnel, not a single survivor!
"The Guandu defense line is impregnable, the army has been attacked for a long time, the men and horses have suffered heavy casualties, the rear is empty, the people's livelihood is disturbed, and the transportation of grain and grass is becoming more and more difficult.
In a state of distraction, Yuan Shao took out a letter from under the handsome case, black in black paper, white paper, and red letters...... It was written by the strategist Tian Feng to persuade him to withdraw quickly, and it has been sent for two months, Yuan Shao has been abandoning it, and today he finally found out!
The letter made it clear: the army is going south, the attack has not been overcome for a long time, the men and horses are tired, the shortage of grain and grass, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, there is almost no possibility of victory, it is better to retreat to Hebei as soon as possible, but also to save the vitality, wait for a good opportunity, and plot a big thing, otherwise, once the battle situation is reversed, it will be regretted!
In addition, Tian Feng also mentioned Xiao Yi...... This son is as treacherous as a fox, fierce as a wolf, on the surface, he does not move, recuperates from war wounds, and is unwilling to come to the battlefield of Guandu, but in fact, he harbors evil intentions, waits for the opportunity to move, and wants to win by surprise, our army must be careful and vigilant day and night!
Yuan Shao is not a person without a plan, knowing that the army has been invincible for a long time, and the initiative is slowly being lost, the problem is that the people and horses of Hebei are pouring out of the nest, threatening to 'eliminate the Cao thief and welcome the Son of Heaven', the cowhide blows loudly, and now he is returning in vain, he is really unwilling to do it, and he is afraid that the world will laugh at him, it is really a dilemma!
…………………………………………………………………………
"The general sits alone late at night, isn't he worried about the war, there is a plan under him, and he can break through Guandu and smash Xuchang without much effort!"
Heaven is beautiful, when you want to sleep, send a pillow, and a person walks in outside the tent, short stature, obscene appearance, and a frivolous face, it is Hebei strategist - Xu You!
"Ziyuan came here late at night, I don't know what the plan is, as long as he can defeat the Cao thief, the old man will not hesitate to reward the marquis!"
After seeing the person clearly, Yuan Shao sat still, just raised a hand slightly, his demeanor was quite arrogant and rude, and there was even some disgust!
On the one hand, Xu You is exquisite, good at slapping horses, very good at winning the attention of his boss, and his ability to 'and thin mud' has also resolved many contradictions within Hebei, and he is a very useful person!
On the other hand, Xu You is too greedy, often accepts bribes, sells official positions, has a bad reputation, and has served in the army for several months, and someone has already privately told Xu You that he 'embezzled military rations and sought huge profits!' ’
Yuan Shao himself is also very greedy, and likes gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings...... Because of this, he has always regarded Hebei as private property, and he does not allow others to touch it, and now in his own warehouse, there is a 'big rat', Yuan Shao naturally dislikes it, if it weren't for Xu You, who still has a little use, he would have already exterminated his family and put his property into storage!
"The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, the subordinates have been working day and night, and have been planning military aircraft, and it took a few months to finally discover the key point of the Cao Army, and I have come to inform the general......"
In the face of Yuan Shao's cold reception, Xu You didn't care, as a greedy person, he valued practical profits, ignored fame, had a thick skin, and had no bottom line...... Besides, as soon as your own plan comes out, things will be reversed!
"The left flank of the Guandu defense line - the barrier near Aocang, is garrisoned by Xiliang-Zhang Xiu, this person has 30,000 horses, well-armed, brave and good at fighting, has repelled our army's attacks many times, killed and injured a large number of men and horses, it is really not a loss of a tiger general!
However, when he was in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu rebelled, and killed the eldest prince - Cao Ang, as well as dozens of children surnamed Cao...... The revenge of killing the son is not shared, Cao Cao is just hindered by the general trend and temporarily endures it, Zhang Xiu is also panicked, worried that the Cao family will retaliate in the future!
Why don't the generals use the 'anti-plot' and send someone to send a generous gift, as long as Zhang Xiu defects in front of the formation, the Guandu defense line is self-defeating, and even if Cao Thief is resourceful, he is powerless! ”
"It's a big deal, let Ziyuan preside over it, and immediately send a messenger to Zhang Xiu's camp to send 30,000 taels of gold, five buckets of pearls, ten pairs of jade walls, and 20 beauties...... and a golden seal of the 'General Zhengnan', clearly telling Zhang Xiu that as long as he surrenders to the battle, the day the army captures Xuchang, he will be guaranteed to be glorious and rich, and he will be a prince for generations! ”
After listening to Xu You's strategy, Yuan Shao couldn't help but applaud and secretly bribe the enemy army, but it was a good way to suddenly turn against him before the battle...... There are only unbreakable cities in the world, and there are no unbreakable hearts.
