Chapter 212: Mutual Calculations
"Our real enemies are all the princes, and we must not kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred for the sake of one Zhang Yuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info "Strategist Yang Ding cut the railway.
Since the defeat in the previous battle, Jia Xu was unwell and was recuperating on his own, and did not participate in today's military discussion, so Yang Ding's words had more right to speak.
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly, Yang Ding's words were exactly what he wanted.
The blood of the generals was forcefully suppressed, and everyone's thoughts were rolling, but there was nothing to be done.
Dong Zhuo turned his gaze to Yang Ding again and sought advice from him.
Although Yang Ding's wisdom is inferior to Jia Xu, he is also a top strategist in the world, and Yang Ding has also repeatedly offered strange plans, Dong Zhuo still trusts him very much.
Yang Ding has always been calm, and he is not in a hurry to offer a plan, but brushes his short beard lightly, his eyes sweep around the map, and he is thoughtful.
Jia Xu's defeat indirectly made Yang Ding realize Zhang Yuan's difficulty, and at this time, he naturally did not dare to despise this powerful opponent, so as not to repeat the mistake of Jia Xu's failure.
After thinking for a long time, Yang Dingcheng's eyes were as calm as water, and a little smile swept into his chest.
Dong Zhuo knew that his top strategist already had a strange strategy, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Yang Ding, do you have a strange strategy?"
Yang Ding took a light breath, stood up and walked to the screen, pointed to the huge map hanging, and slowly gestured: "The first line of Bishui is mountainous, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since Zhang Yuan has discovered our intentions and gathered heavy troops in this area, then we will lose the effect of the surprise attack, I think, when we decisively give up taking the road to Bianshui, reconsider sending troops from Leping, and take Surabaya Avenue to capture Jincheng." ”
Everyone's expressions moved, and their eyes swept to the map in unison.
Dong Zhuo pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "Yang Ding is right, since the surprise attack is not successful, if we still attack the front line of Bishui, it is in Zhang Yuan's arms, why don't we take the Surabaya Avenue in order to give full play to our advantage of having many soldiers." ”
Yang Ding nodded heliously, and continued: "If you want to attack Jincheng in Surabaya, you must first capture Liuxian north of Jincheng. Why didn't the Taishi order Wang Hui to send troops from Leping and attack Liuxian by surprise, and at the same time Taishi left thousands of soldiers and horses, bluffing in Xiao County, but secretly led the main force to Leping, followed by Wang Hui and rushed to Liuxian, when the time came, Zhang Yuan could be killed by surprise, and the army drove south and arrived in Jincheng. ”
Yang Ding finally revealed his plan, to put it bluntly, it was another trick to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang.
Dong Zhuo likes to use strange things the most, Yang Ding's plan is deeply in line with his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately patted the case: "Okay, according to Yang Ding's plan, immediately send someone to give Wang Hui an order, and order him to do his best to Leping's army, take the county for Lone, and open up the route to Jincheng." ”
The order was handed down, and Dong Zhuo ordered Fan Chou to lead an army of 3,000 and continue to be stationed in Xiao County.
Dong Zhuo raised an army of 40,000 troops, and under the cover of night, he went north and went straight to Leping.
Forty miles east of Xiao County, Zhang's army camp.
Zhang Yuan saw through Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, rescued Li Dingguo, and after he retired Dong Zhuo, in order to prevent Dong Zhuo from coming to his senses, he led the army to pursue in a big way, so he retreated forty miles overnight, and set up camp in danger.
Although five or six hundred men were lost in this battle, the precious cavalry did not suffer heavy losses and was barely acceptable.
However, the losses of the Li army were at least 17,800 people, and the first battle was defeated by Zhang Yuan, which greatly boosted the morale of the Zhang army and demoralized the fighting spirit of the Li army.
On the day of the camp, Zudi Huarong and other generals led the follow-up soldiers and horses to meet them, and the number of soldiers in the camp reached 17,000.
With enough soldiers and horses, coupled with the dangerous terrain in this area, Zhang Yuan has enough confidence that even if Dong Zhuo uses his 40,000 troops to attack, he will be able to block it.
In the Chinese military tent, Zhang Yuan met with Gao Gong and others and explained the danger of this ambush battle.
Everyone was full of emotion, but Gao Gong took a sip of wine and sighed with a smile: "It's also thanks to the master's ability to adapt to the situation, and he came up with a plan to use the multi-tree battle flag to recruit suspicious soldiers, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
This Gao Gong has also learned to pat on the back.
Zhang Yuan was useful in his heart, but he understood very well that Dong Zhuo was not injured, and the victory in this battle was not enough to force Dong Zhuo back, and the real tough battle was still to come.
If you really want to force Dong Zhuo back, I'm afraid you have to be a top strategist and come up with a perfect strategy.
With a roll of his eyes, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Anyway, this victory is always worth celebrating, come on, bring me the few jars of good wine I brought, the big guy is so lively." ”
As soon as Gao Gong heard the good wine, his eyes suddenly lit up like a greedy cat.
After a while, when the good wine was served, Zhang Yuan set up a small banquet in the tent and drank with the generals to celebrate.
The happiest thing is undoubtedly Gao Gong, others still have to eat a few mouthfuls of meat, but he doesn't stop for a moment, for fear of being taken a few more sips by others, robbing him, crazy like a booze, one person drank half of it.
Seeing that Gao Gong was almost drunk, Zhang Yuan coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "I said Gao Gong, you also drank this wine, and drank the most, it should almost be an idea, so that I can completely force Dong Zhuo, a strong enemy." ”
Gao Gong was stunned, and couldn't help but secretly complain, only then did he understand that Zhang Yuan's good wine was not drunk for nothing, it was specially set for him.
The mouth of the cannibal is short, and Gao Gong can't help it, so he has to scratch his head and smile bitterly: "Dong Zhuo is not an easy lord to deal with, lord, you have to let me think about it." ”
"Don't rush, think slowly." This will be Zhang Yuan's turn to relax, lean on unhurriedly, and taste the good wine.
He showed that although he was relaxed, his eyes were always moving around the map, and he was also analyzing the current situation, and when his thoughts were rolling, Gao Gong's bitter gourd face suddenly appeared a little sly.
"High drunkard, do you have a plan" Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.
Gao Gong took a sip of wine and said with a sly smile: "With such a turn in my mind, I really came up with a plan, even if I can't force Dong Zhuo to retreat, at least we can take the initiative." ”
These jars of good wine, sure enough, there are no meat buns to smash the dog
"That's not going to be a long time to say." Zhang Yuan urged excitedly.
Gao Gong carried the wine gourd, walked to the map leisurely, and gestured: "Dong Zhuo gathered tens of thousands of people to set up an ambush in the east of Xiao County, it can be seen that his main force should be in the area of Xiao County, and Leping City in the north only has Wang Hui's thousands of soldiers and horses, and the troops are relatively weak, isn't this our opportunity." ”
Zhang Yuan followed Gao Gong's pointing, his eyes moved towards Leping, and a few excitements gradually appeared in his eagle eyes.
"Drunkard, do you want me to pretend to confront Dong Zhuo here on the surface, but secretly lead the main force to the north, take advantage of Wang Hui's disgrace, and take Leping in one fell swoop" (To be continued.) )
