Chapter 219: A Rough Strategy
"What's next? What happened next? Isn't this something between the two of you? Even if I ruin his Liu Dai's affairs today, but he has a history of assassination in Yanzhou, can he still kill me, a young master, casually? ”
Han Yan didn't eat Qiaomao's set, and took himself out in two or three sentences.
Yes, Liu Dai has 20,000 horses, Han Yan touched his brow today, and there will definitely be an explanation in the future. Han Yan needs to unite Qiao Mao in order to fight Liu Dai, so naturally there is no need to say much, but he must distinguish things clearly, otherwise if he really joins forces, Qiao Mao will also have 10,000 horses.
It is said that hand-to-heart friendship, Han Yan doesn't think that he and Qiaomao have reached the point of heart-to-heart, so it is naturally necessary to guard against Qiaomao. Coalition is inevitable, but this matter must be told by Qiao Mao himself, and even if he can't hold all the command power in his own hands, then at least he must take care of himself. Otherwise, one day Qiao Mao pushed himself out to face Liu Dai, Han Yan didn't think that his 5,000 men and horses could really fight one against four.
Besides, taking a step back, Han Yan may not be afraid of that Liu Dai. You must know that Liu Dai has a large number of men, and the consumption is naturally a lot, otherwise he would not have asked Qiao Mao to borrow food. However, Han Yan is different, there are a total of 10,000 horses under his command, and the grain road has been guarded for a month, and this time only 5,000 people were brought out, although not to say that all of them are cavalry, but they can also make up such a small team of 1,000 people. Not to mention the superiority of the cavalry over the infantry, even if it loses the upper hand, can the infantry catch up with the cavalry?
Yes, Han Yan felt that what he had to do now was to put the shelf on the shelf.
Seeing that Han Yan really didn't care, Qiao Mao was in a hurry, walked quickly in front of Han Yan, turned around and hugged his fists and hooked his hands, which was about to kneel down on one knee, "Young Master......"
"Hey~~~! What are you doing here! Get up! ”
Han Yan knew that it was impossible for him to stop Qiao Mao from doing things, but the other party was obviously acting like this, so he didn't think much about it, and reached out to help Qiao Mao up.
"Young Master, Liu Dai is powerful, if you don't want to make a move next, then there will be no more me, the East County Taishou!"
Thinking about it, life is more important, Qiao Mao didn't care about his face, and faced Han Yan, who was much younger than himself, and begged.
"How do you say this, don't worry, if Liu Dai really dares to make a move against you regardless of the overall situation, I will definitely not stand idly by!"
The goal has been achieved, and Han Yan has not said anything about making things difficult for Qiao Mao, after all, he is also the commander of 10,000 horses, isn't it?
"Good, good! I'm going to go back and ask someone to clean up the open space next to the camp......"
Hearing Han Yan's relent, Qiao Mao couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around to prepare a camp for Han Yan's men and horses.
"Hey! No! No! Grabbed Qiao Mao, Han Yan hurriedly said: "I have prepared a camp over there, although it is a little far from this side, but in this way, it is more convenient to guard against Liu Dai or support your side, and the most important thing now is not Liu Dai, but Niu Fu who doesn't know when he will come back!" ”
"This ...... What the young master said is reasonable, so what do you say I should do now? ”
Thinking about Han Yan's words, there didn't seem to be any flaws, so Qiao Mao didn't refute it anymore, but asked about countermeasures.
"What to do? It's best to take Ao Cang immediately, but seeing that you haven't fought for so long, it's not easy to think about it, right? ”
I wanted to ridicule Qiao Mao, but Han Yan still held back.
"This ...... Naturally, it's not easy to fight, Aocang is a heavy land for grain, the city is strong and the pond is solid, so Liu Dai doesn't agree with me, so ......"
When it came to this matter, Qiao Mao was still quite embarrassed, although Han Yan didn't say anything unpleasant.
"Hmmm! Since Ao Cang can't be defeated, then I think you might as well withdraw the barracks first. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Han Yan immediately had an idea.
It's just Han Yan's idea, but Qiao Mao was a little surprised, "Withdraw...... Withdraw? Isn't there a gap in Aocang? What should I do if Niu Fu's men and horses take the opportunity to enter the city? ”
"What's wrong with the gap? What happened to Niu Fu's men and horses when they entered the city? When he goes in, you plug the gap and don't let him out, don't you just do it? Your task is to ensure that nothing goes wrong on the side of Aocang, and you don't want to completely annihilate the defenders in Aocang, so what's the hurry? ”
Faced with Qiao Mao's question, Han Yan asked more questions, but, were the brains of the ancients so rigid? Looking at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there doesn't seem to be much difference?
"Yes...... But there are too many defenders in Aocang, so won't it be difficult for us to besiege them? If they want to rush out, we may not be able to stop them, right? ”
Thinking about what Han Yan said is not unreasonable, but Qiao Mao is still very worried, the siege was originally a simple job, but now it is not a good thing to increase the number of defenders in Aocang.
"I said Dongjun Taishou, you don't really think that your task is to drain the water in Ao Cangwei, right?" Han Yan, who was questioned repeatedly, was also a little impatient at this time, "Why is Ao Cang important?" Not because he is a city behind the coalition army, nor because of the large number of defenders in Aocang, but the grain and grass in Aocang! As long as they can't transport the grain and grass in Aocang, whether he is Niu Fu or Ma Fu, he can come in and out casually, how much impact does it have on us? As for how to prevent them from transporting grain and grass, do you still need me to teach you this? ”
"Cavalry attack!"
With Han Yan's explanation, Qiao Mao immediately understood.
Aocang is important only because it is still a heavy place for grain storage, except for the grain and grass hoarded in Aocang, it can be said that there is nothing valuable on Aocang's side. Niu Fu's 30,000 horses are a lot, but even if the defenders in Ao Cang are added, it is not easy to make too much trouble in the face of Liu Dai and Qiao Mao and Han Yan who rushed to reinforce in a short period of time. But Luoyang couldn't drag on for too long, otherwise, why would Dong Zhuo let his son-in-law run all the way and come directly to Ao Cang?
You must know that Niu Fu in Ao Cang is a thorn in the heart of the coalition army, but once the coalition army takes a step back in the direction of Ao Cang, then the form of attack and defense between the coalition army and Niu Fu will immediately change, and the one who is in danger will become him Niu Fu.
As long as the grain and grass can't get out of Aocang, there will be no problems in a short period of time. And how to ensure that the grain and grass cannot get out of the Ao Cang, the means are varied. The simplest is the cavalry attack that Qiao Mao said, as long as the grain and grass are out of Aocang, then as long as Qiao Mao excludes a team of cavalry to set fire, then it will inevitably be able to prevent Niu Fu from escorting grain and grass.
