0213 The right time and place
Xu Shu glanced at Liu Wei cautiously, and saw that the lord didn't mean to blame himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gently: "It's me who didn't think it through." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liu Wei took out a few pieces of rice cakes from the bag next to the saddle, handed them to Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai respectively, and asked, "Yuan Zhi, in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”
Xu Shu took the steaming cake, took a bite elegantly, and said with a warm smile: "As the saying goes, from big to small, let's listen to the analysis of the big situation by Mr. Zhicai, a strategist." ”
Xi Zhicai ate a few bites of the soft crackers, his sallow face regained a trace of blood, and coughed lightly: "Cough... Cough... Luoyang, north of Yingchuan County, although there is no return for fine work. ”
"Ahem... Cough... According to my estimate, the general should lead many generals and powerful generals, and is arranging the defense of the Luoyang area. ”
"Ahem... Cough... However, due to the death of all the city guards, the situation is not optimistic. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Wei and the three of them were all stunned in place, and muttered: "It seems that the battle on the ten-mile long street should be Yan Luo's plan. ”
The cold wind was howling, the snow was getting thicker, and Xi Zhicai's face was soaked in the white snow, extremely gloomy, and he coughed lightly: "Cough... Cough... Fengxiao, it would be nice if you were here. ”
Seeing that the wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the figure was almost invisible ten zhang away, all that came into view were palm-sized snowflakes, and immediately arranged for Gan Ning to choose a suitable place and set up camp.
Xi Zhicai followed Liu Bian into the carriage, the furnace was blazing, the water vapor was cloudy, under the baking of the bronze furnace, the sturdy carriage and the snowy outside world were simply two worlds.
The red light was inspiring, warm as spring, and Liu Yan and the others leaned on the soft fur, and couldn't help but let out a few extremely comfortable moans.
Xi Zhicai lifted the bright silver filigree pot and added a few pieces of charcoal in the shape of purple clouds to the small bronze furnace, and I don't know what kind of material it was fired from, only three or four pieces, but the wide carriage was baked warmly, and there was no trace of green smoke.
Xi Zhicai poured a cup of tea for Liu Bian and Xu Shu in turn, and coughed lightly: "Cough... Cough... Luoyang should be our biggest help, but now it has become a burden. ”
"Ahem... Cough... As for Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the east, they are now unable to protect themselves, so they cannot support us. ”
"In addition, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou, where there are many elite soldiers and iron horses, are too far away, cough... Cough... It can't support us. ”
"Ahem... Cough... Only Hanzhong County, to the west of Yingchuan County, can become our reinforcements. ”
"On the one hand, Hanzhong County and Yingchuan County are separated by only one Nanyang County. Cough... As long as you are well prepared, you can arrive in half a month. ”
"Ahem... Cough... On the other hand, Hanzhong County is the birthplace of Taoism, and it has the seat of Zhang Daoling, a Taoist academy sacrificial wine, even if he lends the Yellow Turban thief Dragon Heart Heavenly Emperor Guts, he does not dare to develop his influence in Hanzhong County. ”
"Ahem... Cough... It's just that Taoism never participates in the struggle of any force, and the world's surname Liu, or surnamed Zhang, has nothing to do with Taoism, so a national scholar from Zonghengjia Academy is needed to lobby. ”
Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly, his eyes flowed over himself and Xu Shu, and said bitterly: "Cough... Cough... We don't even have 3,000 elite soldiers now, so where are we going to find the national soldiers of the Zongheng family. ”
"Ahem... Cough.... Therefore, from a strategic point of view, we have become an isolated and helpless division, and the status is equivalent to an outcast. ”
Liu Bian looked at the heavy snow dancing in the sky through the light gauze window, and his thoughts were like snowflakes flying around, undulating, after a long time, his eyes stared at the two of them firmly, and he laughed arrogantly: "Then fight 300,000 yellow turban thieves alone!" ”
Xi Zhicai's gloomy face burst out with a strange flush, staring at the heroic Liu Bian, his heart was greatly settled, and he coughed lightly: "Cough... Cough... With the lord here, this battle will be won! ”
The worry in Xu Shu's heart about the safety of the Han family also disappeared at this moment, and with a flick of Pei Yuminghuan's movements, he couldn't help but speed up a little, and said with a gentle smile: "Two thousand against three hundred thousand, the wisdom and martial arts of the lord are comparable to the rebirth of the overlord and the reincarnation of Pangu who killed the Buzhou Mountain." ”
"Haha." Liu saw that there was a slight hint of admiration on the faces of the two national soldiers, and the pride of fighting the world alone in his chest was even more victorious, and he smiled heroically: "My confidence lies in the two national soldiers, as well as the super-first-class fierce general Xingba." ”
"With the assistance of three people, not to mention 300,000 Yellow Turban Thieves, even millions of Yellow Turban Thieves dare to fight."
When Xu Shu heard that Liu Wei attached so much importance to him, the excitement in his heart was like a burning fire in a hunt, extremely hot, and he said in an impassioned tone: "Next, let me analyze the current location. ”
"Yingchuan was the land of the Wei State back then, located on a vast plain, and it can be said to be a land of four battles that is easy to attack and difficult to defend."
"It's good for us and it's not good for us."
"The advantage is that our army has more cavalry, and the other side is all foot soldiers, so it is completely possible to rely on the advantage of cavalry, attack everywhere, and use guerrilla tactics to attack the enemy."
"The disadvantage is that without mountains and valleys, it will not be possible to use ambush tactics that can win more with less, and the speed of eliminating the Yellow Turban Thieves will be greatly reduced."
Xu Shu stretched out his fingers, dipped some hot water from the tea, and sketched a clear map of Yingchuan County on the wooden board in the carriage, between three strokes and two strokes: "We are now located near Yangcheng, the northernmost part of Yingchuan County. ”
"There are Songgao Mountain and Yangcheng Mountain in the north of Yangcheng, and it is also the boundary point with the Sili area."
"There is a large river in the west, Yingshui, which can be relied on, and Yingshui is a large river that flows from the northwest to the southeast, and it can be used at the right time to flood the enemy's strategy."
"To the east and south are plain fields, which are conducive to cavalry attacks in all directions."
Xu Shu suddenly stopped again, his eyes were uncertain, there was a trace of embarrassment in his expression, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The most important thing is that Yangcheng is the closest road to enter the Sili region. ”
"In addition, Yangcheng is guarded in front of the mountain range, and there is a big river to rely on, as long as Yangcheng is taken and thousands of elite soldiers are sent to garrison here, even if the 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves have great skills, it will take a month to take Yangcheng."
"As long as the Yellow Turban Thief can be held back for a month, the pressure on Luoyang will be greatly reduced."
"At the same time, several heavenly generals stationed on the frontier and elite soldiers of major families can arrive in Luoyang before Luoyang City is broken."
Xu Shu wiped the water droplets off his fingers, straightened his clothes, and stared at Liu Wei seriously: "Lord, as long as we can survive a month, and most of our army is cavalry, with the help of the flat and open plains to the east and south of Yangcheng, you can easily get out." ”
