Chapter 127: Making Something Out of Nothing (I)
"Yun Chang, Yuan Fu, what do you think can defeat the Bu Ji Yellow Turban?" Liu Fan asked Guan Yu and Zhou Cang beside him.
Zhou Cang scratched his ears and cheeks after hearing Liu Fan's words, he didn't know anything about stratagems and the like.
"Bu Ji lined up against the water to boost morale. At this moment, the morale of the yellow scarves is high, and it is not appropriate to go head-to-head. Guan Yu replied to Liu Fan.
"What does Yun Chang think of robbing the camp at night?" Liu Fan asked Guan Yu again.
"If you attack at night, with the strength and combat power of our army, as long as you prepare properly, you will definitely be able to win. However, the Yellow Turban must be prepared, which will cause our army to suffer a lot of losses, and it will go against the way of the lord to command the army. The lord is good at Li Dai Taozhuang, and he will never use this strategy, presumably the lord already has a better way. Guan Yu said slowly.
Lao Tzu once said that all things in the world are born from being, and some are born from nothing. Wei Yizi analyzed the relationship between nothingness and reality, and listed that the power of war is within the reach of the Tao, and those who have it do not have it, and An believes it. With this, I came up with a plan to create something out of nothing. Liu Fan smiled slightly, and said to Guan Yu: "Make a plan out of nothing, confuse the enemy with the illusion of no way, and take advantage of the enemy's habit of nothing, turn nothing into something, take fiction into reality, surprise it, and attack it unprepared."
Zhou Cang heard it in a fog, and even Guan Yu was full of doubts and elusiveness.
"Subordinates are stupid!" Guan Yu shook his head in shame.
"Bu Ji is in array, what he hopes most now is to fight a decisive battle with our army as soon as possible, the more it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them. The 8,000 infantry of our army were stationed ten miles away, and all the troops of Bu Ji were gathered in Cangting, and he did not know the situation ten miles away. If our infantry stood still for three days ten miles away, what would Bu Ji think? If you don't move for seven days, what will Bu Ji think? Liu Fan looked at Guan Yu and said.
Guan Yu had a good heart, and Liu Fan understood it at one point, and said: "Bu Ji Yellow Turban will definitely mess with itself, and he will wonder if we have reinforcements."
"The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, the false is the real, the false is real, confusing himself, we can afford to wait, he can't afford to delay. This plan needs a little help, so I'll go and prepare it. Liu Fan didn't continue to say it, but sold it.
Guan Yu was puzzled again, the Yellow Turban was in a chaotic situation, and he would definitely win a big victory in a decisive battle with him. Could it be that this is a plan out of nothing, and there is something else?
"Something out of nothing, nothing is false, something is true! Fake before true! It will take some time. Liu Fan saw Guan Yu's thoughts, shook his head and said.
"Guan Yu is not talented, wait and see." Guan Yu saluted Liu Fan.
The art of war is the weirdest. Guan Yu felt that every time he fought Liu Fan, it was a kind of learning. That kind of learning is like "eating a trench and growing a wisdom", which made Guan Yu more and more confident and cautious in leading the troops to fight.
Three days later. In the Chinese army of the Yellow Turban Camp.
"It's been four or five days, there has been no movement on the side of the officers and soldiers, the cavalry is still cavalry, and there is not an additional camp at all. Officers and soldiers can't be tricky, right? He said to the people in the midst of the camp.
In order to prevent the sudden arrival of the Han army, he took advantage of the night to sneak attack his own camp, and arranged a large number of traps in the camp every night, waiting for the officers and soldiers to drill. But the officers and soldiers just didn't come.
"General, Liu Fan used 2,000 horsemen to break the wave of 100,000 people, and the officers and soldiers were exactly 2,000 horsemen, could it be that Liu Fan also wanted to use 2,000 horsemen to defeat us." Vice Admiral Bu Ji analyzed.
"That's right, Liu Fan has no reinforcements at all, maybe Liu Fan is now complacent in the camp a mile away, laughing at me for waiting for him." A yellow turban leader answered.
"Yes, it's possible! But there is another possibility, Liu Fan did not have reinforcements at the beginning, and when we were in array, he sent people back to Puyang to transfer troops. Bu Ji thought of another possibility.
"Since we have come to this point, we are all under the orders of the general." The lieutenant general said to Bu Ji.
Their meaning is obvious, whether to leave here, or continue to line up here, all according to Bu Ji's words.
Bu Ji's talent is recognized as the best in their army, and the Yellow Turban now pins his hopes on Bu Ji.
"Our army is arrayed against the water, and the morale is still there. Wait a few more days! Bu Ji said helplessly.
He didn't know the situation on the side of the officers and soldiers at all, and he was in a dilemma. Now we can only take one step at a time.
Another three days passed!
On this night, there was a fierce quarrel in the Yellow Turban camp. They couldn't hold back any longer.
If there is, it shows that it is not, and if there is none, it shows that it has!
Many Yellow Turban leaders thought that Liu Fan only had 2,000 cavalry, and he wanted to deceive and drag them down.
Ask the main general to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, ignore the officers and soldiers and cavalry, and go as the best policy.
There are also people who think that if they wait, it will be troublesome if the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers come.
There are differences of opinion, and there is no consensus.
They all looked at the Lord and waited for Buji to make a final decision.
"Report, General Qiyu, there are countless figures in the camp of officers and soldiers, and there are 10,000 people from a distance. It seems to be attacking our military camp. "When he was in a dilemma, his subordinates entered the camp to report.
"Straighten out your troops and start meeting the enemy!" Bu Ji stood up and shouted.
While he was relieved, he was a little nervous and a little worried.
The decisive battle has finally begun. But is the morale from the back seven days ago still there?
No matter what, success or failure is in this move, these days, living like a year, it's too torturous.
Bu Ji left the camp tent and ordered 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to line up and lay in ambush throughout the camp, waiting for the attack of the officers and soldiers.
"The officers and soldiers are really insidious, they even secretly mobilized 10,000 people to sneak attack our military camp, but fortunately, our army spies are witty and know the movements of the officers and soldiers." The deputy general of the yellow turban hid in the shadows and said angrily.
"How great is the momentum of 10,000 people, who want to hide from the sky and the sea? Inexistent. Bu Ji scoffed.
A quarter of an hour later. There was not a single movement on the side of the officers and soldiers.
From Liu Fan's officer and soldier camp to Buji's Yellow Turban camp, Wan Lai is silent, quite a taste of dead of night.
"Wow! Pump! Pump! Tweet......"
This is the cry of a cricket. It's as if the crickets are the protagonists of the entire battlefield.
An hour later......
By this time, it was almost midnight.
"Scout! What's going on? When the scout returned, Bu Ji immediately asked the scout.
"The officers and soldiers were in front of the camp, and the hundred-zhang long front was full of people, densely packed. There were hundreds of cavalry a hundred paces in front of the infantry, and they could not get close, so they could only observe from two hundred paces away, and the moonlight was bright, and I would not be mistaken. The Yellow Turban Scout swore and replied to Bu Ji.
Although Bu Ji was suspicious, but the officers and soldiers were also in the array, then they could not relax.
Bu Ji ordered to go down and let the Yellow Turban soldiers endure for a while, and the officers and soldiers will attack after a while.
Another hour passed.
In the meantime, he constantly sent scouts to investigate. But when I came back to report to him, it was the same.
