Yuan Shu's side has already begun to prepare intensively, and Gao Ye's side is gloomy and bleak. There is still no news coming from Cao Cao, who is still www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", and everyone can only use such a thing as estimating that the lord has already surrounded Shouchun to encourage themselves to continue to spend time with Yuan Shu. There's no way, a military order is a military order, and in the end, it still has to be implemented, isn't it? But with only the 50,000 horses under his command, how can he fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shu tomorrow. At that time, whether Cao Cao is not in Runan, or the secret of the lack of soldiers and horses under his own command, will be revealed. At that time, Yuan Shu will inevitably attack with all his might, how should he deal with it?

Speaking of which, Yuan Shu has received the news that Shouchun has been besieged, and Gao Ye has not received it, so it is no wonder that Cao Caojun's messenger is no wonder. From Shouchun to Runan, along the way, whether it is the southern part of Peiguo, or Ruyin, southern Runan, or even Chen, it is now Yuan Shu's territory. Since Yuan Shujun's messenger escaped from Shouchun City, the road can be said to be unimpeded, and there are Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others along the way to help, so the news is transmitted very quickly, but it has been delivered to Yuan Shu's desk on the seventh day. And Cao Cao's messenger, if he wants to pass through the ground under Yuan Shu's hands, it is really not an easy thing. Even if you can not go to the state capital and run to Runan with your life, but if you sleep in the wilderness at night, you may have fed the beasts a long time ago. And more than a dozen people galloped on Yuan Shu's territory, how could it not attract the attention of Yuan Shujun, don't believe it when the time comes, even your own life will be on the line. Therefore, Cao Cao's messenger was able to deliver the letter to Gao Ye's hands in Runan after he made a detour from Xuzhou to Lu and Liang County, and it was normal for the speed to be slow. Even if Gao Ye asked Yu Ban every day, "Is there any news from the lord?", there was no way to make the messenger run an extra mile every day.

Especially now, tomorrow is about to come to the day of the decisive battle, so there is no need to be nervous at night. Not only Gao Ye, but how did Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Gao Shun not know the situation of their army in front of them? Although under the battle book of the high night, it was successfully delayed for another three days. But the really hard days are still after these three days. The lord doesn't know what's going on now, and he doesn't know how long he will hold on, so this feeling makes everyone sit on pins and needles. If it weren't for the fact that the army was out on expedition and alcohol was forbidden in the army, Gao Ye would have wanted to drink a glass of wine at this time to suppress the shock.

Especially the feeling of Gao Ye now having a thorn in his back really makes Gao Ye have an urge to go crazy. Everyone sat in the big tent, and as soon as Gao Ye opened his mouth, he asked not about military information, but about something inexplicable. "I felt that something was wrong with me today, and I felt like I was about to die. Guys, did you notice anything out of the ordinary? ”

The three of them all shook their heads, and Gao Shun spoke: "I have been inspecting the defense of various departments since the morning, and the morale of the army is okay now, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there is no war-weariness or fear. Lord, you are not restless because of tomorrow's decisive battle. Gao Ye shook his head, probably. After all, under the current situation, I am indeed under a lot of pressure. It is not impossible to make yourself suspicious because of this.

"Yes, General, there will be a decisive battle tomorrow, how should we fight, does the general have an idea?" Yu Ban frowned, but he still asked this question that everyone wanted to ask.

"We have no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no hope of facing the enemy head-on. However, tomorrow Yuan Shu will inevitably appear in front of the two armies, if he knows that the lord is not here, he will definitely be furious, so there is still something to do. Gao Ye sighed and said, "In this way, we will wait for the decisive battle tomorrow, and we must not be too far from the camp." When the time came, Yuan Shu found out that he was fooled first, and I used words to squeeze him behind. Yuan Shu will inevitably march in anger, when the time comes, hum. When Gao Ye said this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Huang on the side said: "The general's intention is to introduce Yuan Shu's army into the camp, and then ambush it?" It's just that even if Yuan Shu's army kills, he has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and I wait for an ambush in the camp, how many can I kill. I'm afraid it's still useless. ”

"Having said that, if you can win a game, it's a game, anyway, it's going to drag on time, and it's going to drag on." Gao Ye shook his head and said, "After all, he has 200,000 troops in his hands, and Ji Ling and Qiao Rui have no flaws in their arrangement, and it is really a bit difficult for a strong man to succeed in a battle." ”

Yu Ban nodded and said, "What the general said is extremely true. However, even if there is a war tomorrow, it is impossible for Yuan Shu's army to rush up at once, and there must be a priority. Even if the general ambushes the front army, and the rear army kills him, I am afraid that it will be another bloody battle. ”

Gao Ye smiled coldly and said, "Now that this battle, I think about it, and I still have to start with Yuan Shu itself." He is a person who is anxious for quick success, if he knows that we are short of soldiers and horses, how do you think he will react? ”

"Naturally, I am eager to defeat our soldiers and horses, and the good soldiers will enter Yingchuan."

"But if I take the initiative to tell him that I only have 50,000 horses under my command, and he falls for my scheme, how do you think Yuan Shu will react?"

"This ...... I'm afraid that the general will tell him plainly, and he won't believe it. When the time comes, he will inevitably send troops to the temptation, and after the temptation, everything will naturally become clear, and then he will hate the general deeply, and then march in a big way. However, in this way, it will allow the general to delay for another day. ”

Gao Ye smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he slandered Cao Cao in his heart. can make his generals fight, and he can drag on for a few days every day with his fingers, and he is Cao Cao who is the only one throughout the ages. But Yu Ban is right, it can be delayed for a day. The text is right. Anyway, my task now is to hold off Yuan Shu, and it will be a day if I can delay it for one more day. Before tomorrow's battle, I will bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet that Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu saw that I had few soldiers, and I told him that our army was only 50,000 horses, and after he was scheming, he must have been shocked and sent troops to attack and come to test. When the time comes, I will retreat directly and lure the enemy deeper. and abandon the horses and ordnance to the ground, and Yuan Shu's army will come to fight. When the time comes, Gongming leads 10,000 men to kill from the left, and Wen Ze leads 10,000 horses to kill from the right. If Yuan Shu is with him in the back, the whole army will inevitably assault, and when the time comes, we will be directly defeated, and this big battalion will also be handed over to Yuan Shu. ”

"In this way, Yuan Shu must know the fact that our troops are insufficient."

"Yes, therefore, when I go out to battle tomorrow, I will keep your men in the camp and prepare more things to cause fire. As long as Yuan Shu knew that our troops were insufficient, he would definitely not take more precautions. And after the war, his soldiers and horses also need to rest, and this large camp has become his best choice. ”

"Wonderful!" Xu Huang praised directly, "If Yuan Shu rests here, and there are more fire-starting things in the camp, then we will put a fire on him at night to ensure that Yuan Shu has to retreat to Zhengqiang and reorganize the situation." That way, I have more time to wait. ”

"That's right, not only that, but also send people to Linying, Xinji, and the counties of Liang to send orders, and spread banners on the city, thinking that they are suspicious soldiers, so that Yuan Shu does not dare to easily divide troops to attack and disturb. When the time comes, we will temporarily garrison in Zhaoling, and the rest will depend on the lord. ”

"The general's plan is very appropriate, and because of General Zhao and others, Yuan Shujun's grain channel has been cut off for a while, and I am afraid that there is not much grain in store now. We will leave some grain and grass in the granary, and the bottom is covered with fire-causing things, Yuan Shujun must be happy when he sees the grain and grass at first glance, and I will wait for the night attack at night, and we can also get twice the result with half the effort. "Yu Ban offered to plan.

"Well, the text is a good discussion, follow it, can you write it down? Tomorrow, after you arrange the camp, immediately take all the remaining soldiers and horses, withdraw to Zhaoling and prepare for defense. As soon as this big village is lost, we will have to deal with this guy in Zhaoling and Yuan Shu. ”

"The last will obey." Gao Shun was concise and to the point.

"As for the messenger, send it immediately, Yuan Shao, and leave this matter to you."

"Obey."

"Yuanfu, tomorrow we will fight, tonight whether it is me, General Yu, or General Xu, we need to rest and nourish our spirits. Tonight's defense is up to you, remember, be careful. Although I think the possibility of Yuan Shu attacking the camp is very small, there is nothing wrong with being careful. If this guy changes his temper, I'll be completely finished when I'm defenseless. Do you remember the heavy responsibilities on your shoulders? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will be careful tonight. That Yuan Shu wanted to attack the camp unknowingly, it was purely a dream! ”

"Okay, Gongming, Wen Ze, you two should go down and prepare immediately, there will be a hard battle tomorrow, everyone will rest early today."

Yu Ban and Xu Huang also gave up, and a meeting ended. It's just that the uneasy feeling in Gao Ye's heart is getting stronger and stronger. Could it be that there is any flaw in his plan? No, it doesn't matter if there are flaws, as long as Yuan Shu can't see it, under the stimulation of only 50,000 horses in his hands, he will inevitably come...... Until Gao Ye went to bed, he was still thinking about this problem, after all, this feeling of thorns in his back really made Gao Ye sad. Although Gao Ye knew that some people's intuition was very spiritual, and the body would have an omen when disaster came, but he had not experienced such a magical thing for so many years, so he was in a state of great distrust of his intuition.

Maybe he really said it to Gao Shun because he was under too much pressure. Speaking of which, since he received this task, he has been thinking about how to delay Yuan Shu's attack. He voluntarily gave up a large area of land in Runan, and burned the grain stored in the official warehouse, in order to slow down the pace of Yuan Shu's advance. But who would have thought that he would actually find another way and take the road of Chen Guo? Now in the Zhengqiang area, I have been fighting with Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and others for so long, and as soon as tomorrow passes, I will no longer be able to hide it.

This battle was the first battle of Yuan Shu's personal expedition after being called emperor, and it was of great significance to him. If you win, your prestige will increase, and if you lose, you will not be worth mentioning. But in the same way, this battle is also very important for Cao Cao. Yuan Shu has always been powerful in Huainan, and this time he came straight to the Han Emperor Liu Xie. If he is defeated this time, the majesty of Liu Xie and the Han family can be said to be lost again and again, how can he coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes at that time? Moreover, if he can defeat Yuan Shu and let him and Sun Ce toss in Jiangdong, then whether it is the east to Xuzhou or the north to reject Yuan Shao, the south will no longer be a threat to him.

But in order to achieve such a strategic goal, it is very important for Gao Ye to be able to hold Yuan Shu here. In this way, how can the pressure on Gao Ye's body not be great? The muddy night finally fell asleep, and suddenly someone shouted loudly: "General, it's not good, Yuan Shujun is attacking the camp!" ”
