Chapter 295: Cultivating Guan Hai
A city wall in Luxian County was completely destroyed, and the defenders in the city were under the ravages of dragon artillery, and there were less than 10,000 people left, and they were still defeated with no fighting spirit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, there were originally only 2,000 Cao troops stationed in Lu County, and after the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers arrived with 20,000 elite Cao troops, the defenders of Lu County were as high as more than 25,000 people.
The extra 3,000 people are the 3,000 elites brought by Tao Sheng's defection.
When Hao Meng and the others appeared outside Lu County, the main defense of the defenders of Lu County was naturally to face the city wall on Hao Meng's side, and the defenders on the other three city walls added up to only 5,000 people.
Therefore, when the dragon artillery guards were powerful, the defenders of Lu County were naturally killed and wounded.
Then, Li Chou and Guan Hai each brought a soldier and horse, and "received" Lu County without much effort.
It's a pity that Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, when they saw that the situation was wrong, they had already slipped away.
The envoys of the princes, Guan Hai and the others only captured Zhang Song in Yizhou, Cai Mao in Jingzhou, and Tao Ying, the eldest son of Tao Qian. The others either died in the fire just now, or they had already fled.
For example, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took advantage of Tao Sheng's defection and successfully escaped from Jinan City. After arriving at Cao Ren's camp, Zhao Yun and the others did not follow Cao Ren to retreat in the direction of Yanzhou, but immediately parted ways.
Zhao Yun took Gongsun Ji to Youzhou overnight, and the two brothers Guan Yu also crossed the Taishan Mountains overnight, preparing to rush back to Xiapi as soon as possible.
If you don't die if you fight a snake, you must be prepared to be devoured by it.
What's more, Zhao Yun may not have had no calculations, taking advantage of the fact that Hebei Siting Zhu was trapped in Jinan City, his lord Sun Zan could take the opportunity to attack Youzhou, and by the way, cut back the tentacles of Yuan Shao's invasion of Youzhou.
Guan Lao Er may have the same abacus as Zhao Yun.
Sun Ce, the new lord of Jiangdong, is trapped in Jinan City, and Yangzhou, which he has just conquered, will surely fall into chaos; Runan Yuan Shu defeated the general Huang Zhong, and it was difficult for his Yuzhou to be unified in the short term.
In this way, whether the eldest brother Uncle Liu Huang is using troops to Yuzhou or continuing to attack Yangzhou, Guan Yu feels that the sooner he returns to Xiapi, the sooner the eldest brother can prepare.
This is also why, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong besieged Hao Meng at the same time, Guan Yu and the two brothers were able to escape, but Huang Zhong was trapped in Jinan City.
……
Hao Meng didn't care how many prisoners he took or how many messengers he captured.
A group of top generals in the dungeon of Jinan City is enough to make the princes involved in the incident tasteless.
The reason why Hao Meng attacked Lu County overnight was to immediately slap Cao Mengde back.
Moreover, according to the confessions of the captured Cao soldiers, Cao Mengde's eldest son, Cao Ang, seemed to have died in the round of artillery fire just now.
Cao Ang is not dead, and Hao Meng doesn't care much. But Cao Ang is dead, presumably Cao Cao can feel the pain, right?
Hao Meng felt that his slap was slapped, and Cao Cao estimated that it would hurt for a long time!
As for the endless relationship with Cao Cao, will Hao Meng care?
After entering Lu County, Jibei Kingdom, Hao Meng no longer pursued and killed the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers.
The incident in Jinan City has happened for a day, and Xun Yu, who did not receive the expected news, may have sent troops to respond or ambush them a long time ago.
If Hao Meng pursues in the snow overnight, if he is not careful, he may be ambushed by Xun Yu and them, and it will not be fun to lose his troops.
Hao Meng was going to rest overnight in Lu County, and then he took Li Chou and Huang Zhong, who was still hesitating, to return to Jinan City. As for Lu County, it is very likely to be used as an advance base for Hao Meng's attack on Yanzhou, so it can only be handed over to Guan Hai to garrison.
……
Everything is arranged, and those who should rest have also rested, and in the county government, only Hao Meng, Li Chou, and Guan Hai are left.
Hao Meng took out the [24 Chapters of the Book of War] and handed it to Guan Hai, and instructed: "Although this prop can add ten points of intelligence to the general, its more important function is to read the knowledge recorded in it. ”
The book summarizes the art of war from the past to the present, a total of twenty-four articles. In his spare time, General Guan should carefully study and figure it out. ”
Guan Hai took the [24 Chapters of the Book of War], first flipped through it casually, but soon became obsessed with the art of war in the book.
After a long time, after Guan Hai read through the article, Hao Meng said again: "There are not many talents under Benhou's command, but there are no handsome talents. ”
"Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Jiang Feng, and even Li Chou, etc., are good in martial arts and strength, but they are still acceptable generals, but they can't grow into a qualified commander."
When Hao Meng said this, Li Chou's eyes flashed beside him, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"Being a handsome person is not just a matter of generals."
"A general's strategic vision is often limited to one battle, and at most it is a battle. The strategic vision of a commander-in-chief is to look at and control the overall situation. ”
"For example, if Ben Hou wants to attack Yanzhou."
"Jiang Feng is only suitable for logistics, dispatching grain and grass, or stationing in one place. Dian Wei, Tai Shici and Li Chou led the troops to fight, and there was no problem in attacking the city and conquering the land. ”
"However, a qualified commander will consider a series of issues such as grain and grass logistics, the number of soldiers, the strength of the enemy and the enemy, and the advance and retreat of the enemy and us."
When he heard Hao Meng say this, Guan Hai was thoughtful, but Li Chou finally understood that he was really only suitable to be a general, and the elements that a commander needed to have were a bit difficult for him.
"It's been half a year since General Guan returned to Benhou, whether it's a mule or a thousand miles, it's up to the general this time."
……
In fact, Hao Meng now has no shortage of generals who charge into battle, and there is not much shortage of officials who govern the territory, but he only lacks talents who can stand alone, that is, the so-called commander.
Jiang Feng had been cultivated for a while, but he looked a little crooked. Jiang Feng has no problem governing the government affairs of one county and one county, but he can only garrison the city when he leads the troops to fight, and he is not the best at defense.
As for Dian Wei, Tai Shici and Li Chou, although their IQ is not in arrears, they can't take charge on their own.
Only Guan Hai, at the beginning of his obedience, Hao Meng knew that his ability was actually another version of Wei Yan, a proper commander-type talent, if he was trained well, it was enough for Hao Meng to be alone.
As for Guan Hai, will Guan Hai be like Wei Yan's legend, born with a backbone in the back of his head?
Hao Meng can only say: Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time.
……
War books, even today, are rarely circulated. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guan Lao Er to be complacent after reading half of "Spring and Autumn", and his eyes were empty.
Knowing that this was the lord's intentional cultivation, Guan Hai held the [24 Chapters of the Book of Soldiers], knelt down on one knee and said: "The lord is kind, and it is difficult for Guan Hai to repay the liver and brain." ”
For the subordinate martial arts, Hao Meng has always been generous.
Although Guan Hai is only level eighteen now, his strength has been boosted to three hundred points, and he is the most top-notch military general in the super-first-class.
As long as the martial arts are more proficient, as long as he comprehends the tricks, Guan Hai will be able to keep pace with Dian Wei and Tai Shici in terms of strength.
Moreover, Guan Hai has reached the verge of understanding something.
That's all, Guan Hai's achievements in the coming days will inevitably be above Li Chou.
Because, Li Chou wants to understand something, and he doesn't know what year and month it will be; But Guan Hai's breakthrough is also a recent thing!
……
Picking up Guan Hai, Hao Meng said again: "Since Lu County has been defeated, we will attack Yanzhou after the beginning of spring, and we will have a stronghold to advance." ”
"Tomorrow morning, after Ben Hou and Li Chou return to Jinan City, everything in Lu County will be entrusted to the general."
"Two troops and horses, more than 8,000 prisoners, and the people of the city are all dispatched by the general."
"Ben Hou has only one request: Kaichun, if Ben Hou attacks Yanzhou, this is a solid forward base, and the general must also be able to take charge alone!"
