Chapter 197: Convince Xu Rong
Broken sour jujube princes? Coldness and calmness like Shi A couldn't help but stagnate, his mouth moved, he suddenly felt that he had just thought wrong, Zhang Liao actually wanted to break the 100,000 army of sour dates with 4,000 soldiers?!
Where is this boldness? It is obviously reckless and self-defeating!
But he knew in his heart that Zhang Liao would do what he said, since he said that he wanted to break the sour dates, he would inevitably send troops, but he was afraid that no one would be able to stop him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At dusk, on the west bank of Bianshui, the battle has ended for nearly an hour, and it is tragic everywhere, Cao Cao and Bao Xin's soldiers and horses are six or seven thousand dead and wounded, and those who flee and drown in Bianshui are even more innumerable, and more than half of the six or seven thousand dead and wounded died at the beginning of the war. The soldiers and horses of Bao Xin and Cao Cao were better, and they confronted the Western Liang cavalry under the command of several generals, although they eventually suffered heavy casualties, but they also caused a lot of casualties to the Liangzhou iron cavalry.
In Xingyang City, Zhonglang General Xu Rong listened to the captain Li Mengyu's report on the battle situation, and couldn't help frowning, this day of fierce battle, the infantry under his command was killed and wounded nearly 2,000 people, and the loss of war horses was also thousands, which really made him a little dissatisfied.
"Nearly 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, and 8,400 ...... were captured" Li Meng reported here, paused, and said dissatisfiedly: "General Xu, of these 8,400 prisoners, Zhang Duwei has 6,000 alone, and the last general will ask his subordinates for whether to come." ”
"Oh? Wen Yuan actually captured six thousand? Xu Rong was also shocked when he heard this number, and a trace of surprise appeared on his cold face.
"Not bad!" Li Meng said dissatisfiedly: "We are waiting for bloody thieves, but they take advantage of the fire to rob and seize the credit, which is really infuriating......"
Xu Rong frowned and said: "Wen Yuan can capture six thousand enemy soldiers on the battlefield, which is also a skill, his subordinates are all new soldiers, Ben Zhonglang did not count on their combat effectiveness, and the capture of six thousand thieves can be regarded as sharing a lot of pressure, fighting with comrades, there is no need to care about these." ”
Li Meng is Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou descendant, and he was sent to supervise Xu Rong at the revolving gate, so he was not very afraid of Xu Rong, at this time, when he saw Xu Rong returning to protect Zhang Liao, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and hummed: "Zhang Wenyuan led his troops to pursue the thief soldiers, and he has not returned yet, do you know if he took the opportunity to escape, or colluded with the thief soldiers to let go of the thief chief?" ”
Xu Rong heard him say this, and his heart was angry, he was from Liaodong, and his situation under Dong Zhuo was similar to Zhang Liao, and he had always been excluded by the people of Liangzhou, Li Meng couldn't help but insinuate when he said this, and immediately turned cold: "Wen Yuan has a strong ...... of Xiangguo's trust."
Before the words fell, someone outside made an urgent report: "Zhang Duwei has returned." ”
Xu Rong couldn't help but look slightly pale, glanced at Li Meng, and ordered, "Let Wen Yuan come in." ”
After Zhang Liao came in, before Xu Rong could speak, Li Meng hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhang, have you ever caught the thief chief?" ”
"Never." Zhang Liao spit out two words, Li Meng couldn't help sneering when he heard it, and he wanted to question Zhang Liao, Xu Rong was about to speak when he saw this, but Zhang Liao hugged his fist at Xu Rong and said in a deep voice: "Xu Zhonglang, the last general will request a raid on sour dates!" ”
Ga? Li Meng almost thought that he had heard it wrong, the sneer on his face turned into shock, his expression changed too quickly, his face almost twitched, and he lost his voice: "Raid sour dates?!" ”
Even Xu Rong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhang Liao's firm expression, and frowned: "Wenyuan, there are 100,000 thieves in the sour jujube, in today's battle, our side lost more than 2,000 soldiers, and there are more wounded soldiers, I know that Wenyuan is loyal and brave, but it is better to act cautiously." ”
Li Meng also came back to his senses and snorted: "Zhang Duwei is a little unavoidable, but only 4,000 recruits dare to resist an army of 100,000? Don't think that being well-equipped is just a good idea! It's really greedy for merit, and profit makes you dizzy! ”
Zhang Liao ignored Li Meng, but looked at Xu Rong, he knew that if he wanted to raid the sour dates, he had to get Xu Rong's approval, and he had to get Xu Rong's support and cooperation in order to have a greater chance of winning.
He quickly organized his words in his mind and said: "Xu Zhonglang, there are 100,000 sour jujubes, but more than 25,000 have been destroyed today, and the rest is only 70,000. ”
"Seventy thousand thief soldiers...... Xu Rong shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the Kwantung thief soldiers were vulnerable, but after today's battle, we know that their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and they should not be underestimated. ”
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Xu Zhonglang doesn't know, the people who are fighting today are Bao Xin and Cao Cao, these two have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are the most good at fighting in the Kwantung thieves, and they dare to go west, and the rest of the Kwantung thieves such as Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, and Kong Ling are all people who talk about high theories and boasts, and they are not familiar with military affairs, and they are all two thousand stone officials, each does not obey each other, although there are 70,000 soldiers and horses, but the command is not even, under the surprise attack, the chaos of its military heart, it is not difficult to win. ”
Xu Rong listened to what Zhang Liao said, his tiger eyes flashed slightly, and he was obviously quite moved, but he was still a little hesitant, obviously there were still obstacles to sending troops.
Li Meng sneered on the side: "What Captain Zhang thinks is a little simpler, if we wait for the soldiers to come out, what if the Yingchuan thieves attack Xingyang and Revolving Gate Pass from the southeast Guandong?" And Bao Xin and Cao Cao were defeated, and our losses were not small, and the jujube thieves may not come to retaliate. ”
Xu Rong shook his head when he heard this: "This is exactly what I am worried about!" If it weren't for that, according to what Wenyuan said, you could try to attack the sour jujubes. It's just that now the threshold is here, and there is no room for slackness, unless ...... Wen Yuan can have a trick. ”
Zhang Liao said: "The last general has found out from the mouth of the captives that Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling is sour jujube, and the Yingchuan soldiers and horses are leaderless, and they will not move lightly, as for the sour jujube group of thieves, the last general is expected to not send troops." ”
"Expected?" Li Meng sneered: "One is certain, can you make me wait to die?" ”
Xu Rong frowned, Zhang Liao's expectation is not small, but it is not convincing enough, and the risk is too great.
Zhang Liao said confidently: "There will be a strategy in the end, which can find out the truth and the false." ”
"Oh?" Xu Rong's eyes lit up: "Come on." In fact, Xu Rong is also a battle maniac, and he has long sharpened his knives against the Kwantung princes of sour jujubes, but there are all kinds of restrictions and doubts, which are difficult to implement.
Li Meng's eyes also flickered on the side, and the people of Liangzhou were the most belligerent.
Zhang Liao didn't sell Guanzi, he was more anxious than Xu Rong in his heart, and even said: "In this battle, the enemy soldiers have broken up a lot, we can send people to pretend to be a rout, enter the sour date, report the battle situation, and say that both sides are defeated, if those Kwantung thieves first take the opportunity to attack the revolving gate pass, they will inevitably take action, if they really have action, we will ambush halfway!" If they are too timid to act, then there is nothing to worry about, they can leave two thousand people to guard the pass, and the rest of the elite will directly attack the sour date! ”
Zhang Liao said this, and said: "Xu Zhonglang and Captain Li can delay for two days, wait for information first, and the last general will first lead the troops to detour into Yuanwu and lurk on the south side of the sour jujube, then Xu Zhonglang and Captain Li will attract the enemy's attention head-on, but do not attack, false and real, the last general will take advantage of the night to raid the sour jujube from the flank, and then Xu Zhonglang and Li Xiaowei will lead the iron cavalry to attack from the front, and it will be a complete success!" ”
"Good!" Xu Rong listened to what Zhang Liao said, slammed his fist, looked excited, and wandered back and forth for two steps, but he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
After wandering for two steps, Xu Rong stood still and looked at Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, last question, how did you take four thousand soldiers to sneak into the left side of the sour jujube?" To the south of Xingyang, there are plains, all unobstructed, there must be a lot of eyes and ears of the sour jujube thieves, once you are discovered, you will be in trouble, and it will also make the thieves vigilant and fall short. ”
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "This matter is easy to hear, I can send someone to pretend to be a rout to find out the news of Sour Zao, why can't we use it as a rout and scatter to the counties and townships near Sour Zao?" All you need to do is assemble at a fixed time and place. ”
"Good!" Xu Rong laughed: "Wen Yuan is so resourceful, it can be seen that the defeat of Yuan Shao is not a fluke!" ”
Li Meng on the side couldn't refute it, it was really like Zhang Liao's layout, their chances of winning were not small, once they succeeded, it would be a great achievement, and he was also extremely excited.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Rong and Li Meng were convinced, in fact, he only thought of sending troops disguised as rout soldiers to find out the news from Sour Zao. As for breaking up his 4,000 men and horses and sneaking east disguised as a rout, it was Guo Tu who came up with it.
As Jia Xu said, although this guy's heart is not right, he has a lot of ghost attention. (To be continued.) )
