"Sun Jian's army was defeated."

Yuan Shao sat in his seat and said to the princes and everyone who were seated.

The voice was a little dignified, Sun Jianjun was a rare elite department among the princes, and it was indeed a little difficult to accept that he was defeated by Dong Zhuojun so easily.

The troops of many of the princes here were formed temporarily, and some of them even went to the battlefield for the first time, and their combat strength was much worse than that of Sun Jian's army, not to mention that compared to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army.

Yuan Shao's words made everyone in the audience silent, and some of them knew some of the reasons for Sun Jian's defeat.

No one wants to be in front of the army, and there are still people who are secretly doing it.

Cao Cao sat on his seat and sighed, as for what he was sighing, everyone who heard it naturally knew it.

If it goes on like this, this alliance of princes is a joke.

"Guys, do you have a way to break Huaxiong?"

Yuan Shao opened his mouth to ask, but no one answered.

In addition to the princes from all walks of life, there are also subordinates from all the princes here, and some people may have a way, but they don't want to say it yet.

Maybe they want to wait a little longer, and wait until the coalition is really in trouble before using it to maximize their benefits.

Half a sound, there was not a sound, and Yuan Shao's face was a little ugly.

Just as he was about to say something more, a somewhat light voice sounded.

"Yuan Gong, there may be a strategy available."

Yuan Shao's face was happy, if he didn't need to make his own move, he was naturally not ready to do it, even if he might have the ability to break Huaxiong.

The main force in Dong Zhuo's army is not Huaxiong, if he spends too much on him, how can he accumulate strength and seek Dong Zhuo's strength.

At that moment, he said loudly: "Fang Cai, I don't know what that gentleman said? ”

It was Gu Nan who was sitting next to Cao Cao who spoke.

Cao Cao heard Gu Nan's voice, and he panicked, and hurriedly whispered, "Sir······"

Gu Nan lightly put his hand on Cao Cao's shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, general, and see that I will take the strength of a battle for you." ”

Cao Cao has been worried about the lack of troops in her hands for the past few days, she is looking at it, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are said to be a lot less, but more is not much.

Five thousand recruits and horses are really not of much use in the war of this army of more than 100,000 people.

"Yuan Gong, what I just said was what I said." Gu Nan smiled, stood up and walked up to the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, and a graceful white-robed man walked up to the hall, but for some reason he was wearing a hat on his head, so that people couldn't see clearly.

"Ah, this is Mr. Caozhi, and he brought the hat because he had an injury on his face in his early years."

Cao Cao saw Gu Nan walk up, and there was no way to stop it, so he could only help Gu Nan explain.

"Hahaha, okay, it turned out to be Meng De's strategist, sir, you just said that Huaxiong's strategy, maybe you elaborate?"

Yuan Shao laughed, looked at Gu Nan and asked, with a humble attitude.

The attitude was naturally good, and he looked at Gu Nan at this time, as if he was looking at a wronged man.

Breaking Huaxiong is really a thankless effort.

If no one makes a move, then he, the leader of the alliance, can only go in person, and now that someone has made a move, then he can naturally sit and watch.

Gu Nan didn't care what Yuan Shao was thinking in his heart, he chuckled and bowed slightly.

"Yuan Gong, listen to me."

The hall was silent, Cao Cao's hand secretly pinched the corner of his clothes, and the gentleman went up and told him that he wanted to fight for him, and he didn't know what it meant.

Looking around at the people seated, people almost filled the hall, Gu Nan spoke.

"Huaxiong's army is mostly Xiliang Rui cavalry, good at attacking and invading in the wild, advancing and retreating in a certain way, and attacking quickly. Therefore, it is difficult to fight in the wilderness. ”

After Gu Nan's words were finished, many of the people who were doing it nodded, this was also their concern, because even if they could break Huaxiong, they would consume a lot of troops.

And because it is a light horse, it is difficult to keep Huaxiong.

"So surround it and annihilate it."

Everyone raised their eyes and said lightly, the difficulty of light riding is that they can't be surrounded, fast forward and retreat, and run after the fight. If you can surround it, how can it be such a headache?

"As for how to surround it." Gu Nan chuckled: "Huaxiong broke Sun Taishou's army at this time, and his morale was in full swing, and he wanted to break the princes again." It can lead an army to fight first, retreat from defeat, and lead Huaxiong to go deeper. Deploy military headquarters on both sides, wait for Huaxiong to go deeper, and besiege and kill his army. ”

The hall fell silent, and everyone frowned.

After a while, Yuan Shao looked at Gu Nan and asked slowly: "Sir, Hua Xiong is a heavy general of Xiliang, and if he feints such a tactic, if Hua Xiong doesn't believe it, wouldn't he have broken the soldiers in vain?" ”

The strategy of feint defeat and lead the enemy can be said to be crude, and it works wonders for the new army, but for the Xiliang army, it has no effect.

"How can you say that it is a feint, it is a real defeat." Gu Nan said out loud.

There was a moment of astonishment among those present, followed by a whispering voice, as if to guess whether the gentleman was insane.

"What do you mean, sir?" Yuan Shao didn't hear it clearly, and even Cao Cao thought he had heard it wrong.

"I don't know if Gong Yuan knows about the Xuan Bag Array?" Looking at Yuan Shu, Gu Nan asked.

Xuanbao Array, this is a kind of false formation to confuse the enemy, the queue is very far apart, most of the flags, the drums are endless, simulating the sound of military vehicles marching, and the sound of foot soldiers is noisy, as if the number of troops is huge, and various methods are used to deceive the enemy.

"Xuan Bao Array?"

Yuan Shao was stunned, but he had never heard of this method, and his face was inevitably a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

When Gu Nan saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he knew that he didn't know, and it was not good to embarrass him, so he stopped asking and replied to himself.

"The Xuannan Array, one of Sun Bin's ten formations, is that the outer army is closely arranged to cover the inner army, and the inner army is scattered and staggered to expand the military formation. The chariot drum is set up to simulate the sound of heavy troops, and the soldiers make noise to confuse the enemy army and make them believe that there is a large army. ”

Sun Tzu's Art of War was not so widely circulated in this era, and the books and texts at this time were cherished, and they did not know that they were hidden in the study of that family.

After explaining, under Yuan Shao's grateful eyes, Gu Nan continued.

"Duke Yuan can march the Xuanbao array with a small army, led by the princes all the way, so that Huaxiong thinks that he will attack with heavy troops. When Huaxiong broke through the Xuanlang Formation, the front army was defeated, and then the soldiers lost their armor and gathered the crowd to flee. The formation of the army was reduced, and the whole place was messy, and it looked like a rout of the army. ”

"In this way, Huaxiong will chase after him, I heard that General Gongsun has an army that is good at cavalry and archery?"

As he spoke, the white-clothed man in the hall turned to look at a white-faced general sitting on the right side, who was Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

Gongsun Zhan's face smiled, he knew what it meant, this was to get a piece of his pie.

Although breaking Huaxiong is not a big achievement, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so why not take it if it can be easily obtained?

"Yes, my subordinate White Horse is in no way inferior to the Liangzhou Army."

"Okay, then ask General Gongsun to lead the army to break off, so as not to escape Huaxiong."

"Leave it to me." Gongsun Chan said with a smile and pride, anyone will receive such an errand.

"As for the encirclement and suppression of the army on both sides, please ask Yuan Gong to decide." Gu Nan saluted Yuan Shao and made it look like he wanted to leave the ground.

But her footsteps didn't move, and it didn't seem that she was going to leave yet, and Yuan Shao would definitely keep her, because there was one more thing that was not said.

"Sir." Yuan Shao really stopped Gu Nan, and his face hesitated: "Sir, there is one more matter, please ask Mr. for advice." ”

Gu Nan stopped and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Gong Yuan, please speak." ”

"Sir, which one can be the army that lures the enemy?" Yuan Shao said with a look of embarrassment.

The Xiliang cavalry was good at pursuit, and the speed of chasing the enemy army was often so fast that people had nowhere to escape.

Under such circumstances, the part of the army that lures the enemy must be greatly damaged, and the life of the leader is also in danger, and no one wants to be this army.

Yuan Shao would offend the prince no matter who he assigned, he didn't want to be a wicked person, so he naturally had to let Gu Nan decide.

"This." Gu Nan seemed to think about it for a while, looked at himself and then at everyone, for a long time, gritted his teeth as if he was ruthless, and said with a generous face.

"What about dedicating oneself to the righteousness of the world? Yuan Gong, I can pretend to be a prince leading the army, so why die? ”

The faces of the four of them changed, some of them were stunned, some were admired, Cao Cao was pale, and he was about to stand up to stop him, but he saw that Gu Nan seemed to be giving him a quiet gesture, so he forcibly continued to sit.

"This person is really talented, and he is in high righteousness, if you can really want to talk to him."

A man in ordinary clothes sitting behind everyone looked at the man in white in the hall with reverence, his appearance was a little ordinary, and the only thing that stood out was that he had a pair of lop ears.

However, the two people standing next to this person were both extraordinary, one was nine feet tall and had a long red face.

A black-faced man with thick eyebrows, born as a rough bearded man.

The black-faced man heard the words of the people around him, and said in a muffled voice: "Since the eldest brother said so, I remember the appearance of this person, and I will arrest you and talk to you when the time comes." ”

"Third brother, don't be like this, won't this disturb Mr.!"

······

"Good! Then the gentleman will lead the way! ”

Yuan Shao listened to Gu Nan's words, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ashamed, and his eyes changed a little when he looked at Gu Nan.

People are selfish, and it is rare for people to give up their lives for the sake of justice, but because they can't do it, people will always admire such people.

"Still." Gu Nan, who was standing in the hall, said with a little hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong with sir? When there was something to say, Shao Ding gave Mr. an answer. Yuan Shao's tone unconsciously brought a little concern.

"Duke Yuan, I am General Cao's department, and General Cao only has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so it is really difficult to carry out the Xuan Bag Formation."

Gu Nan bowed down as he spoke: "Below, I hope that Yuan Gong will borrow troops to break Huaxiong!" ”

This is Gu Nan's purpose, to use the princes' troops to gain momentum and take Cao Cao's strength in a battle.
