"Gongzhi, have you ever thought about escaping again in the past two days?" Zhang Liao glanced at Guo Tu, who was a little distracted, and asked with a smile, which was quite funny. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since Guo Tu was brought back by Zhang Liao, he has been confined in Xiaopingjin and watched by Jia Xu. During that period of time in Xiaopingjin, Guo Tuke fought with Jia Xu with all his might, trying to escape in every possible way.

After all, Jia Xu was ruthless, and later he didn't bother to pay attention to Guo Tu, and directly sent someone to Jizhou to invite all his family members over, and Guo Tu became honest all of a sudden.

After Zhang Liao learned about it, he admired Jia Xu very much, this thing should be done by someone else, but it is just a normal threat method, and the consequences are unknown, but Zhang Liao knows that Master Jia Xu is the best at observing people, and his plans are very targeted.

This time, Zhang Liao rushed to fight in the tiger prison, and Jia Xu asked him to bring Guo Tu.

Although Guo Tu has a bad character and a lot of poor strategic vision, there are still a lot of small schemes and ghost ideas. Jia Xu knew that Zhang Liao's strategic thinking had always been very clear, very assertive, and would not be interfered with by Guo Tu in the overall situation, so he asked Guo Tu to help Zhang Liao tactically, which can be regarded as a sharpening of Zhang Liao.

At this time, Guo Tu heard Zhang Liao's joke, his face twitched, turned his face away, and ignored him.

Zhang Liao didn't treat celebrities as celebrities at all, and after bringing Guo Tu to the Tiger Prison, whether he wanted to or not, he forcibly gave him the title of military instructor, and ordered him to spend an hour every day teaching the grassroots generals in the army to read, instilling the idea of loyalty.

Moreover, Zhang Liao, an unscrupulous guy, was afraid that Guo Tu would escape, so he pulled out the newly tamed colorful tiger that was stocked in the nearby mountains, and scattered Guo Tu's soul. Zhang Liao frightened Guo Tu again, saying that this tiger had recognized his appearance and smell, and as long as he dared to escape from the barracks alone for two miles, he would be bitten to death by the tiger!

Guo Tu may not be afraid of dying by the sword, but dying at the mouth of the tiger really frightens him, and at this point, he is completely out of his mind.

Zhang Liao looked at Guo Tu silently, and said with a smile: "Gongzhi, your plan is good, you are in ambush fifteen miles away, presumably Cao Cao and Bao Xin can't think of it at all, right?" Even if you ask, you can't find out. ”

Guo Tu stroked his beard, his expression showing a bit of triumph.

After Zhang Liao discovered Cao Cao's westward advance, he discussed the battle plan with Xu Rong, and finally decided that Xu Rong would lead the cavalry to attack head-on, while Zhang Liao would ambush and outflank him from behind.

However, Zhang Liao knew that Cao Cao had a lot of combat experience, and there were also scouts along the way to probe the military situation, so he was very careful, and it was not easy to set up an ambush.

When Zhang Liao had a headache, he suddenly saw Guo Tu, so he asked him, Guo Tu really had some plans, he suggested that Zhang Liao move the ambush to the south for fifteen miles, Zhang Liao couldn't help but praise after hearing it, and directly adopted it.

You must know that the scouts sent by Cao Bao mainly explore the area in front, even if they are cautious, but their energy is limited, the flanks will generally only explore three or five miles, at most no more than ten miles, Zhang Liao's more than 4,000 soldiers are ambushed fifteen miles away, and they are not at all afraid that those scouts will find out. When it comes time to fight, they will suddenly attack from the area where the enemy has been scouted, which will inevitably catch the enemy off guard, and it will be even more effective.

If this ambush method is to face the enemy alone or use the terrain such as canyons, it will have no effect at all if it is too far away, but at this time, there is Xu Rong's main force in front of him, and his strength is quite strong, and there will be no results in a short period of time after the two sides engage, and their rear flank attack is not so eager, this kind of ambush is used just right.

And Zhang Liao also discovered Guo Tu's ability to observe words and colors, this guy should have faintly touched his mind when he came out of this time. After fifteen miles of ambush, when they arrived at the battlefield, Cao Bao and Xu Rong must have been fighting for a long time and consuming each other, which was exactly what Zhang Liao wanted.

Although he had a good relationship with Xu Rong, of the 15,000 soldiers under Xu Rong, only 5,000 were really under his command, and everything else was temporarily handed over to him by Dong Zhuo, and he would take it back in the future. He was glad to see the attrition of these Hu soldiers, because these Hu soldiers were likely to be his enemies in the future.

For Zhang Liao, the battle of the Kwantung princes against Dong Zhuo did not matter about justice, this was essentially a battle between the two major interest groups of Kansai and Kanto, Guan Liang was headed by Dong Zhuo, and Kanto was headed by Er Yuan. The Kansai Group agrees with Dong Zhuo, or Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, while the Kanto Group wants to support the dead deposed emperor King Hongnong, and after King Hongnong's death, they even plan to set up another Son of Heaven.

Therefore, it doesn't matter to Zhang Liao who wins or loses in this big battle, what matters is that he lays the foundation in this big battle.

……

At dawn, the sky was just overcast and bright, on the east bank of Bianshui, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were sitting on high horses, and 25,000 troops were arrayed behind, smoke and dust were flying, and the momentum was immense.

With the orders of Cao Cao and Bao Xin, the army began to cross the river in a steady stream. There is a bridge over the water, and the water in the river is also of different depths, and many soldiers wade directly through the shallow water.

Cao Cao stationed on the bank of the horse Bianshui, looked back at the soldiers and horses behind him, Yixing flew away, raised the horse whip, pointed to the Bianshui more than 300 steps wide in front of him, and said angrily: "This water is also known as the chasm, six hundred years ago, Wei Hui Wang Fafu dug this ditch, led the water of the big river as the source, flowed eastward through Zhongmu, Kaifeng, turned south, through Bianshui, Jishui, Yingshui, Rushui, Surabaya, Nantong Huai River, water conservancy, irrigated farmland, is a radius of hundreds of miles, all rely on this water.

The Qin Emperor unified the six countries, and transported the grain from the Guandong expedition to Guanzhong, and relied on the power of this water to transport grain, and built the world's first warehouse in the northwest of this place, Ao Cang.

Four hundred years ago, Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for power, across the river confrontation, the big war was seventy, the small war was forty, Xiang Yu was desperate, it was with the Han Covenant, the middle divided the world, cut the chasm to the west for the Han, to the east for Chu, the monarchs looked at the two ends of the Guangwu Mountain in the middle, each with an old base, across the river, the west is the Han King City, the east is the Overlord City. ”

On the side, Bao Tao couldn't help but say: "General Cao, although I see that this ditch is more than 200 feet deep, the depth of the water in it is only six feet, how can it be used as a main road for transporting grain by ship?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Emperor Wu Yuanguang three years, the river broke in Puyang, the sediment silt blocked the waterway of the Bianhe River, the Bianshui was almost cut off, once dried up, until the Ming Emperor Yongping 12 years, Wang Jing and Wang Wu governed the river and Bianshui, and the Bianshui was six feet deep today. ”

At this time, Bao Xin spoke: "Mengde, it's time for me to cross the river." ”

"Yes." Cao Cao said with a smile: "Yuan Rang and Miaocai have already crossed the river, and we should also cross the river quickly." On the occasion of Chu and Han, Gaozu and Xiang Yu competed for power, with this Bianshui as the boundary, and now Dong Zhuo rebelled, robbed the car, drove the people, and we stepped across the Chu River Han boundary, took Xingyang, according to Ao Cang, attacked Chenggao, entered Luoyang, punished the rebel thief, welcomed the Son of Heaven, and Xinghan room! ”

"Exactly!" Bao Xin and the others looked excited when they saw Cao Cao, and they couldn't help but be invigorated by it.

Bao Xin and Wei Zi couldn't help but admire, although their positions were not lower than Cao Cao's, they did not have Cao Cao's pride, nor did they lack Cao Cao's charm to inspire the army while talking and laughing.

Soon, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others also crossed the Bianshui River and arrived on the west bank, only twenty miles away from Xingyang City.

When the sun rose, the 25,000 army had all crossed the river, Cao Cao sat on a horse, the rising sun hit his figure in front of him for a long time, he drew his sword and waved, and shouted: "And force westward, now the thief!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, boom! The whole ground began to vibrate.

Before the others could react, Cao Cao's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately shouted: "It's the cavalry attacking!" Quickly set up the car formation, reject the horses, and prepare to fight! (To be continued.) )
