Although Yuan Shu's words were domineering, whether it was Ji Ling or Qiao Rui, they were all dignified now. If www.biquge.info is really as Li Feng said, it seems that there will be a vicious battle to be fought soon. Cao Cao came in person, facing the 200,000 army under his own lord, even if Cao Cao came, how could he not come to the nest. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will fight here, and it is estimated that it will not be able to tell the winner in a day or two.

However, Yuan Shu obviously didn't think about it so much, and when Li Feng's soldiers fled back from defeat, it was already evening. Now that Yuan Shu listened to Li Feng's report, he didn't have the slightest hint of worry, as if he had already won the battle. He didn't even ask anyone if they had any opinions or suggestions about the current battle situation, but directly asked for a banquet. There is only one sentence: "I'm already hungry, I'll talk about it after eating." It suppressed everyone's desire to speak.

Compared with Yuan Shu, who was full of comfort, Gao Ye and the others were sitting on pins and needles in the big tent. Although Li Feng won a small victory today, Li Feng only had 20,000 horses under his command, and this ambush only left less than 8,000 people. In this way, it actually didn't cause any harm to Yuan Shujun at all. Although Gao Ye's original intention was to use the strategy of ambushing the soldiers, coupled with the strategy of doubtful soldiers, Li Feng mistakenly thought that Cao Cao personally led the army here, thus making Yuan Shu's march more cautious. However, the lack of troops is still a lack of troops, and once Yuan Shu attacks with all his might, it will be difficult to resist. Moreover, Yuan Shu's subordinates now have Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, and the two of them are quite proficient in marching and fighting, at least Gao Ye, Xu Huang, and Yu Ban, after watching for so many days, they have not found any flaws in the two of them.

Now that the enemy army is so strong, it is almost impossible to win with a dignified army. If you want to win, you have to have a plan. If you want to use a miracle plan, it is nothing more than fire attack, water attack, food cut-off, and separation. The geographical location of Zhengqiang City determines that Gao Ye and others can't attack it with water, who let there not even be a decent river outside Zhengqiang City? Of Yuan Shu's 200,000 horses, 140,000 are now stationed outside the city. These 140,000 people are seven camps, and the regiments will encircle the city of Zhengqiang in the middle. Gao Ye knew very well that with the abilities of Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, the seven camps that seemed to be one must be independent individuals internally. The reason for this is to guard against fire attacks. In this way, even if one of the barracks burns down, the remaining barracks will still be safe and sound. Besides, camping and fire prevention is also a very important thing, how can the two of them be careless?

In history, Lu Xun was able to burn Liu Bei's 700-mile company camp, which is really a miracle to be honest. At that time, the expedition of the Shu army was difficult to supply, and it could not be resolved quickly, and it dragged on for a long time, so it was naturally demoralized. In addition, the weather was hot after the summer, so Liu Bei ordered the Shu army to camp in the mountains and forests to escape the heat in order to relieve the suffering of the sergeants. The soldiers have always paid attention to the forest, Liu Bei's million army is divided into more than 40 camps, although there is a fire prevention, but the fire in the mountains and forests, even in the era of such advanced science and technology in later generations, it is not easy to extinguish, let alone the Three Kingdoms period? These reasons are mixed together, which makes Lu Xun famous for burning the company camp.

Although he also wanted to give Yuan Shu such a moment, there was one biggest difference between himself and Lu Xun back then, that is, Lu Xun had enough strategic depth on the battlefield. But he is now on the edge of Yingchuan, and if he retreats, he will give Liu Xie away. Therefore, I can hardly take a step back now. Not only could he not retreat, but he also had to keep attracting Yuan Shu's attention in order to create opportunities for Cao Cao. Gao Ye didn't know what Cao Cao's current situation was, whether he had hit Huainan or not. As soon as he thought of this, Gao Ye couldn't wait to get some high-tech communication equipment such as mobile phones, telephones, and radios immediately. It's a pity that the design principles are all in Gao Ye's mind, so what can it be? Without mature electronic components, Gao Ye can't make these communication devices even if he has design drawings. Now the two roads are divided, and the communication is all based on fast horses, running from Xuzhou to Yingchuan, a piece of news will be delayed for ten days, and the daylily is cold. Now Gao Ye, I can only hope that Cao Cao's march will go smoothly. Even if we don't hit Huainan, it's good to give Yuan Shujun's grain road some effective blows and alleviate the situation here.

Although Gao Ye thought so, his face was still full of confidence. Gao Ye even thought of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" TV series he watched when he was a child, in which Zhuge Liang, played by teacher Tang Guoqiang, looked calm even when the sky fell, which really fascinated Gao Ye. What kind of self-confidence and talent do you need to feel that no matter what danger you encounter, you can handle it properly and turn it into a disaster.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gao Ye spoke, but he didn't say Yuan Shu first, but looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, how many have you captured today, and what are the casualties of our army?" ”

"Back to the general, our army has more than 300 dead in battle, more than 700 seriously wounded, and more than 1,400 lightly wounded. As for the enemy army, most of them fled with Li Feng in a hurry, and our army captured more than 3,000 and captured 5,000 enemy troops. Now all of them were escorted to Yingyang under the orders of the general, and they were under the care of General Lu Qian. ”

"Well, although Li Feng is defeated now, for Yuan Shujun, it is not a bone-break. Now Yuan Shu must think that the lord is here. With Yuan Shu's empty-eyed and anxious temperament, I am afraid that in two or three days, he will lead a large army to kill. Wen Ze, what news is there from the lord's side today? ”

"Back to the general, there is no news from the lord, but a messenger from General Zhao came today, saying that he and General Cao Chun and General Zhang Liao have divided into three routes, and have attacked Yuan Shu's grain transport soldiers and horses six times in the area of Tongyang and Ruyin, and intercepted no less than 50,000 stones of grain and grass. However, General Zhao's army has reported here, and presumably Yuan Shu will also receive news there. At that time, Yuan Shu, who was short of food, might take the initiative to withdraw his troops. ”

"I don't think so." Xu Huang shook his head and said, "After all, Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command now, besides, since he has determined that the lord is here now, even if he knows that his grain route has been attacked, how can he easily retreat if he sends a team of men and horses to ensure that the grain route is also available?" Defeating the lord was what he wanted to do most now. In the final analysis, he still has too many soldiers and horses. However, he has a large number of men and horses, and consumes countless amounts of grain and grass every day, and if we can find a place for him to store food, we may be able to resist it for a little longer. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Yu Ban sighed and said, "If Yuan Shu's grain and grass are burned by us, Yuan Shu's army, which is short of food and food, will definitely attack in a big way. After all, the 200,000 army is outside, and only by capturing Yingchuan can he solve the danger of food and grass. He could even divide his troops into separate routes, raiding houses and houses in various places under the rule of the lord to prepare food and grass. When the time comes, let's not talk about whether we can stop him from attacking head-on, if he divides his troops to plunder everywhere, Yanzhou's hard work over the years will be ruined. ”

Gao Ye nodded and said: "Wen Ze is right, no matter how much we calculate now, a small number of troops is a small number of troops, if we can't annihilate the living force of Yuan Shu's army in a very short time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses will go crazy, and we will definitely not be opponents." Now that we already know that his Yuan Shu's grain channel has been cut off, I think Yuan Shu should also know. Although he has a shortage of 100,000 stone food, he should not be in a situation where he is short of food. I will immediately send someone to Yuan Shu tomorrow in the name of the lord, and ask him to fight a decisive battle in three days......"

"General, will Yuan Shu agree?" Yu Ban frowned and said.

"I think so." Gao Ye nodded slightly and said, "I have known Yuan Shu for a long time, and I know his temper well. In fact, not only him, but also his brother Yuan Shao is a character who looks down on us people from the bottom of the family. Even if it is the lord, although the brothers of the Yuan family had a good relationship with the lord in the past, in fact, the lord is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the two of them. Yuan Shu has always been suppressed by his brother Yuan Shao, and he has always wanted to get ahead, and he has always wanted to win over his brother Yuan Shao, so he has become more and more happy and eager for quick success. I think he can't wait to become emperor, and there are factors in this regard. Now that the lord has given him a war letter and asked him to fight a decisive battle, with Yuan Shu's temperament, he will definitely wait for three days. Because he not only wants to win, but also wants to win in a righteous and bright way, and the victory is indisputable. This is in line with the truth of his destiny as the Son of Heaven. ”

"But general, with these tens of thousands of horses under our hands, where do we have the strength to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shu?"

"Don't worry about this, I didn't think about a decisive battle with Yuan Shu at all. The decisive battle is the lord's business, not ours. Now there is no news from the lord's side, but I have thought about it repeatedly, and according to the footsteps, what the lord says at this time should also be in Shouchun. We only need to hold on for a little longer, and then Yuan Shu will inevitably receive news from Huainan. ”

"But what about three days from now?" Xu Huang also shook his head and sighed, "Besides, the general used the name of the lord to invite Yuan Shu to a decisive battle, which is also disrespectful to the lord." ”

"Don't worry about this, I asked the lord for orders before I came, and if necessary, I can use the name of the lord to confuse the enemy. Therefore, this is not a problem, the question is still how to face Yuan Shujun three days later. ”

"The general should think about it, and if we avoid fighting in three days, we will not only be ridiculed by the world, but even the prestige of the lord will be damaged. Once we face Yuan Shu three days later, it will be difficult to be an opponent with our tens of thousands of horses. The most important thing is that the lord is not here, and it will definitely be exposed. At that time, if Yuan Shu is desperate and intensifies his onslaught, I am afraid that we will not be able to defend Yingchuan. Xu Huang arched his hand.

"I know." Gao Ye let out a sigh of relief and said slowly, "But if you don't write a battle book, I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will attack tomorrow, and it will be exposed when the time comes." Now, if you can delay it for a day, it's a day. Let's go to the war book first, and let me think about the rest, now that there are so many things to do, it's not okay to take a good look at your thoughts. Alas, people are all retreating as advances, but I didn't expect that I would have to come today to advance as retreat. ”
