Chapter 238: Borrowing from Cao Cao
Yuan Shao gave a proposition, and naturally asked the following military ministers to improve this problem.
These require the brains of those below.
The trial and Guo Tu, Xin Ping and other strategists were named by Yuan Shao and asked them to perfect this plan to ambush the New Han Army and kill Liu Yi.
Xin Ping first said: "My lord, if Liu Yi really wants to send troops from the Tiger Prison Pass and take a shortcut to attack our Hanoi County, it is not difficult to guess which of our ferries Liu Yi will sneak attack. ”
"Oh? What does this say? Yuan Shao lowered his head and asked.
"It's because of the terrain along the Yellow River." Xin commented: "In the New Han Dynasty, the section of the Yellow River from Luoyang to Hugaoguan was almost all dangerous cliffs and mountains on both sides, and the Yellow River was turbulent. Therefore, it was impossible for Liu Yi's military horses to cross the Yellow River without leaving the Tiger Prison. Therefore, it is certain that Liu Yi must lead his army out of the Tiger Prison and into the area along the Yellow River controlled by Cao Cao.
"And the section of the Yellow River outside the Tiger Prison Pass, between Zhongmu County, is about a hundred miles. Cao Cao suddenly accumulated heavy troops in Zhongmu County, and it was naturally impossible for the New Han Army to send troops too close to Zhongmu County, otherwise, it would inevitably become entangled with Cao Cao's military horses. Therefore, Xin estimated that the section of the Yellow River outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which is at most about 50 miles from Zhongmu County, will be the section of the river where the New Han Army is preparing to cross the river. In fact, the banks of the Yellow River in that section are very dangerous. There are only about ten ferries that can really cross the strait. We only need to send someone to keep an eye on the other side of the Yellow River, as long as we find out which ferry Liu Yi's military horses have reached on the other side. Then it is almost certain that Lewis is ready to attack our ferry. Even if it's not. It is also inseparable from the two or three ferries on the left and right, and the distance between them will not exceed twenty miles. ”
"Hmm...... It seems to make sense. Without further ado, now that Liu Yi has not officially sent troops out of the Tiger Prison, we can immediately send people to keep an eye on the situation on the other side of the Yellow River. If this military situation cannot be done accurately, then it will be difficult for us to continue our follow-up actions. In case we can't have a prepared ambush to attack Leon's river-crossing elite. When the time comes, we can't ambush Liu Yi's men and horses, and the key is if they occupy one of our ferries. Then we are in danger. In this way, such information cannot be lost and must be accurate. ”
"What the lord said is very true. Therefore. Xin believes that it is not appropriate for us to startle the snake too early, for the time being, it is not appropriate to mobilize our military horses into Hanoi County, at least, it is not appropriate to increase the troops in Hanoi with great fanfare, but we need to do it quietly and let others on the surface. I can't see that we have expected this action of Liu Yi, a certain feeling. Now, we can let some of the military horses go day and night, secretly rush to the bank of the Yellow River, and when Liu Yi comes, we have determined the target that Liu Yi wants to attack us, and then we will immediately set up an ambush and wait for Liu Yi to arrive. Xin Pingjian said.
"Humph!" At this time, he seemed to be a little disdainful of what Xin Ping said, and snorted coldly: "No, lord, you must not underestimate Liu Yi's ability." To be honest, if we really want to ambush Liu Yi, then we must not pretend to be mysterious and quietly increase our troops. Because, to be sure, Lewi would definitely guess that it would not be too easy for him to smuggle and attack us. If we don't make a little move, it will make Lewi think that we have explained their plan of action and have made corresponding arrangements for him. In this way, I don't think Lewis will necessarily take risks. After all, even if Leo Yi likes to take risks, it is impossible for him to attack us knowing that there is a problem. ”
As soon as Yuan Shao heard the strategists below, he began to discuss, and immediately had a disagreement, but this disagreement was within the agenda, so he couldn't reprimand, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
If according to Yuan Shao's thoughts, it is indeed as Xin Ping said, his own military horses are quietly ambushed around the Yellow River crossing, and when Liu Yi sneaks over to launch an attack, his Quartet ambush army will be exhausted and Liu Yi will be wiped out on the bank of the Yellow River.
However, now that he heard the trial say this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, doubting that Liu Yi would really rush to death as he had guessed? Although Liu Yi often takes risks, he will not be so stupid as to know that there is a problem, and he will wave his army to cross the river to attack him. On the contrary, every time Liu Yi takes an adventure, he seems to be quite smart, and every time he can let Liu Yi win in danger and take millet from the fire.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but want to listen to the explanation of the judge's opinion.
"Mr. Xian, you also talk about it, you said that we can increase the number of troops in Hanoi with great fanfare, what is the reason for this?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Soldiers, sophistication, the so-called virtual reality, real reality, real reality. Sometimes, when we want to plot against others, we don't need to put too much thought into it, we use yang schemes, or it is better than using conspiracy. The judge shook his head and said: "Lord, now, as long as there are people of insight and vision, you can see that now that the New Han Dynasty has captured Jingzhou, then, the next one to be destroyed is definitely us, Liu Yi can only defeat us and seize all the vast areas north of the Yellow River, so that he can better rule Youzhou and Jizhou." Leo Yi was also sure that we already knew Lew's mind. If we knew that Liu Yi would come to attack us, we would have even guessed that Liu Yi would send troops from the Tiger Prison Pass. And we, as before, let Hanoi defend this point of troops, and did not increase our troops. In this way, would Lewi not doubt that we would have some conspiracy? ”
"Well......" Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, he asked himself, if he was Liu Yi, if he saw that Hanoi was calm and there was no additional troops to defend at all, then, without thinking about it, he could feel that there might be a problem under this calm.
"My lord, now, we don't actually want to wait for Liu Yi to attack our Hanoi, but we are worried that he will not come, so no matter what, we will lure Liu Yi to kill him. Think about it, if we are calm on the surface and secretly mobilize troops and horses, it will be obvious to Liu Yi that there is a problem with the ferry on the bank of the Yellow River in Hanoi. Knowing that there was a problem, he Liu Yi didn't have a good solution for a while. Then, he can not send troops from the Tiger Prison Pass at all, even. Even if you send troops, you can withdraw them. Because, now the initiative of the war is in the hands of Liu Yi, and people can fight how they want, and there is no reason to say that Liu Yi has to wave his army to attack our Hanoi County, my lord. You said no? ”
"This ...... It seems that this is indeed the case, and this is just Yuan's speculation that Liu Yi will sneak attack our Hanoi County. Yuan Shaoshen nodded approvingly.
"Now. As we all know, Liu Yi will attack us, and our Hanoi county is already weak. If there is no increase in troops. It will only increase Liu Yi's suspicions, therefore, we can increase our troops in Hanoi openly, and let Liu Yi's spies and scouts know the deployment of our troops, and even the situation of our ferry. can let them know. In this way, under the condition that Liu Yi thinks that he already knows himself and his opponent. Liu Yi, who likes to know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains, and likes to take risks, may not be able to resolutely attack our Yellow River crossing. ”
The judge didn't wait for everyone to speak, and then said: "Our blatant increase of troops, just for Liu Yi to see, really, we can draw out an elite army, quietly lurking near the ferry where Liu Yi is very likely to attack us, if Liu Yi really crosses the river, then, our elite military horses, can come in handy." ”
"Good! That's right, so virtual and real, virtual and real, Mingli, clearly show Liu Yi, we are ready, you have the ability to attack and kill, secretly, but arrange an elite division, specially waiting for Liu Yi to attack and kill, and then the army will be exhausted, and Liu Yi will be wiped out on the bank of the Yellow River. Yuan Shao believes that the statement of the trial is much better than the statement of Xin Ping.
There are some things that you can't hide even if you want to. Yuan Shao has a very clear understanding of this in his heart. Yuan Shao believed that in his own territory of influence, there would inevitably be countless spies of Liu Yi, no matter how careful he did, the movement of the army, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the eyes of those spies. If you still want to pretend to enter Hanoi mysteriously, this is not beautiful, once you let Liu Yi know that you are ready to wait for him to die, then Liu Yi may not really wave his army again.
"If you have no opinion, then do as Mr. Judge said, we can first mobilize some military horses, openly drive into Hanoi, and increase the number of troops at each ferry. Secretly, another elite division was formed and quietly marched into Hanoi. Yuan Shao thought that the plan for trial and matching was very appropriate and feasible, so he made a decision.
"Now, let's talk about it again, if Liu Yi really crossed the river, how can we really kill Liu Yi?" Yuan Shao asked again.
"This ......" the judge shook his head and said: "Lord, if you are honest, we have a chance to defeat the Xinhan army led by Liu Yi to attack our ferry, but if you want to really kill Liu Yi, I think, this is not easy." Liu Yike is recognized as the number one fierce general in the world, and he is more brave than Lu Bu at the beginning. With our military horses, even if Liu Yi is besieged, I am afraid that Liu Yi can be able to highlight the encirclement of our military horses. In addition, although Hanoi County is a plain area, the area along the Yellow River is surrounded by some steep mountains and cliffs. It is also unlikely that our military horses will be able to send more besieged Lewis at once. Liu Yi casually kills into the mountains and forests, and it will be difficult for our people to chase and kill, and even if Liu Yi escapes into the Yellow River, he can escape. Don't forget, Liu Yi's water nature is also amazing, even if the river is turbulent, it will not cost Liu Yi's life. Therefore, it is easy to defeat Liu Yi's army, but if you want to kill Liu Yi, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
"If we can't kill Liu Yi, just win this battle and annihilate a small part of the elite of the New Han Army, this will not change the overall situation of our entire battle. We still ......" The judge said this, and did not say any more, because, needless to say, everyone in the hall knew that if they couldn't kill Liu Yi directly, then sooner or later they would be defeated and destroyed by Liu Yi.
Yuan Shao had already considered this problem, but he didn't have a way to kill Liu Yi nine times out of ten.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come up with a way to kill Liu Yi. In order to be able to kill Lewy, we can do anything! Yuan Shao said with a cold expression.
However, the people below were silent, and no one dared to express their opinions casually, because it was really difficult for them to think of how to kill Liu Yi.
"Public rule, in recent times. You seem to be very silent, what? Can't you do it? Can't worry about Yuan? Yuan Shao saw that the ministers of the palace were speechless for a long time, so he had to name them again. Let Guo Tu talk about it and see if there is a way to put Liu Yi to death.
However, not to mention, Guo Tu really has a way in his heart. It's just that he didn't dare to say this method lightly. Because, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would suspect him of something, or. I'm afraid it will anger Yuan Shao.
Well, since Guo Tu last sent an envoy to Xu Du, he had already had the heart to betray Yuan Shao and take refuge in Cao Cao. But. Yuan Shao accused his family. This made it difficult for him to escape.
For Guo Tu, he is indeed very clear that Yuan Shao's defeat is afraid that it will be sooner or later, and he has been planning for himself for a long time.
But now, if he can really kill Liu Yi, then he may not necessarily betray Yuan Shao. Because he has now won Yuan Tan's trust. If Yuan Shao dies, Yuan Tan succeeds to the throne. Then he is truly one person under ten thousand people. Out of selfishness, he actually thought that if Yuan Shao was not destroyed by Liu Yi, he would stay by Yuan Shao's father and son's side, and his future would be much better than voting for someone else.
Seeing Yuan Shao asking, Guo Tu gritted his teeth, seeking wealth and danger, and no longer worried about whether it would anger Yuan Shao, he stepped forward and said: "Lord, there is no way, but it may be that the lord will suffer some grievances." ”
"Oh? How is it? Yuan Shao heard Guo Tu say that there was a way, and couldn't help but ask a little anxiously.
"Looking at the current Han Dynasty, in terms of military strength, and even in terms of the combat effectiveness of military horses, the New Han Army is unsurpassed, and there is no princely force at all that can fight and win the battle with the New Han Army with little difference in strength in the front. I believe that the lord also agrees with this in his heart, right? ”
"Well, indeed, the New Han Army is indeed second to none in the Han Dynasty in terms of weapons and equipment, or in terms of the sergeant's Su zhì, this time, Yuan must admit that our Yuan Army is indeed not as strong as the New Han Army." Yuan Shao nodded.
"Yes, in terms of soldiers and horses, we are really inferior to the New Han Army. So, what about generals? ”
"Well, the fierce generals of the Xinhan army are like clouds, and I am afraid that it is really difficult to find a single person in our current army who can be compared with those generals under Liu Yi's account. If we can have generals available, why are we afraid of the New Han Army? Yuan Shao frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Guo Tudao.
"Hehe, lord, our army does not have a real general, but there is someone who does, that is Cao Cao, under Cao Cao's account, he is also a fierce general. Under his account, there are Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Ren, these brothers, and I heard that the children of the Cao family also have many fierce generals. In addition, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Le Jin, Li Dian, etc., are also famous generals in Cao's army. ”
"Shut up!" Yuan Shao heard Guo Tu talk about Cao Cao, and he couldn't help but interrupt Guo Tu's speech a little angrily: "What's the point of talking about Cao Cao now?" Even if he is as fierce as a cloud, what then? It's not ours, what's more, Cao Cao has now signed a non-aggression pact with Liu Yi. What's the use of saying he's? ”
"Lord!" Guo Tu hurriedly knelt down and said on the ground: "Lord, please calm your anger and listen to Guo's words." ”
"Hmm...... Go ahead. Yuan Shao's chest rose and fell, forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.
For Yuan Shao, he thinks that when he was in trouble, he reached out to Cao Cao for help, but Cao Cao refused, which made all his old feelings with Cao Cao cut off, and he and Cao Cao were like strangers. What's more, Cao Cao also has the heart to destroy him Yuan Shao, where does he want to have anything to do with Cao Cao?
But now, since it has been said, let's listen to what Guo Tu has to say.
"My lord, it is true that Cao Cao and Liu Yi signed a non-aggression pact, but it is time-limited. This is mainly because neither Cao Cao nor Liu Yi seems to be ready for the final battle, so they will inevitably sign such a treaty. In fact, this treaty, for both of them, is not very restrictive, and it can be torn at any time. Moreover, the lord should not need Guo to say, and he clearly knows in his heart that Liu Yi and Cao Cao will have a battle sooner or later. If, now we have a way to kill Liu Yi immediately, do you say Cao Cao is excited? ”
"Humph! What about heartbeat? Could it be that he dared to send troops to help us fight against Levio? Yuan Shao said with a cold face.
"Lord, we don't need Cao Cao to send troops to help, we just need to borrow those fierce generals under him from Cao Cao, let them make a move, and fight Liu Yi with us, only by borrowing those fierce generals from Cao Cao, we can kill Liu Yi." Guo Tu said anxiously.
"Borrow a general from Cao Cao? This one...... Is it possible? Can Cao Cao agree? After listening to what Guo Tu said, Yuan Shao felt in his heart that this seemed to be a way out of the way.
And Yuan Shao also knew in his heart that if he wanted to assassinate Liu Yi, then he must have an opponent who was comparable to Liu Yi, at least not inferior to Liu Yi's generals, so that he could kill Liu Yi.
"Lord, if we haven't tried, how do we know that Cao Cao won't agree? Relatively speaking, Cao Cao's heart to Liu Yi's death will definitely not be less than ours. Guo is sure that he can definitely borrow a general from Cao Cao. At least, don't dare to say anything else, like General Zhang He, Guo should still be able to invite back. ”
Zhang He...... Hum! In Yuan Shao's heart, he actually really missed Zhang He, but he didn't want to show it.
"Lord, if there is no other way, Guo is willing to go to Xu Capital to see Cao Cao, and he will definitely borrow a general from Cao Cao, this matter should not be delayed, because Liu Yi may be out of the tiger prison at any time." Guo Tu automatically asked. (To be continued......)
