Chapter 212: Tian Yu's strategy

When Xue Rengui was worried about how to attack Liangxiang City, Tian Yu suddenly found him and said: "General, Yu has just received a letter from General Luo Cheng, which says that he wants to change the original plan and ask the general to raise troops to the north to encircle and annihilate Yan Rou. ”

"Oh?" Xue Rengui hurriedly spread out the map in the army, constantly observing the distribution of troops in various places, as well as the general situation.

"Guorang, do you think Luo Cheng's plan is feasible?" Xue Rengui did not make a rash decision, but asked Tian Yudao.

Tian Yu didn't hesitate at all, and said, "I think you can give it a try." ”

They have been under the city of Liangxiang for several hours, during which time, no matter how they provoke, Zhang He just can't hold out, and they only have 30,000 people, and in the face of 50,000 defenders, it is impossible to directly attack the city, so they have been stalemate.

Now that he has received a letter from Luo Cheng, it has also opened up a new idea for him, since Liangxiang can't take it, he might as well turn his head and encircle and annihilate Yan Roubu.

According to the original plan, it was to take the entire Yuyang County first, and then cooperate with the imperial court's reinforcements to besiege Guangyang County, the only drawback of this is that it takes a lot of time, if the Jin army reacts quickly and can reinforce in time, then the two sides will be directly a decisive battle.

Looking at Zhang He's reaction in Liangxiang City, it is obvious that they have already taken precautions, I am afraid that Yan Rou, who is in Jixian County, should also get the news, and the 30,000 people in Luo Cheng's hands alone are not enough to take Jixian County.

"What to do, if we march to the vicinity of Jixian, Zhang He will definitely send reinforcements, with Zhang He's caution, I am afraid that he will hang far away, and in the end it is still a question whether we can take Guangyang." After two years of fighting, Xue Rengui also has some understanding of Zhang He's use of troops, and he is witty and clever, and over time, he is definitely a big opponent.

Tian Yu thought for a long time, his eyes gradually became firm, and said: "General, if we divide the troops, the general will lead the troops to Guangyang to support, and here Yu will confuse Zhang He." ”

Xue Rengui looked at Tian Yu, he still agreed with Tian Yu's idea, but the candidate for reinforcing Luo Cheng had to change somewhat.

Xue Rengui said: "The national plan is feasible, but it is just a matter of reinforcements, and the country should let the troops go, and the general will confuse Zhang He here." ”

When Tian Yu heard this, he directly refused: "No, long-distance raids are not what Yu is good at, and the general himself commanded it early." ”

Xue Rengui retorted: "But if Zhang He discovers the abnormality and sends troops to attack the camp, how can the state let defend it?" ”

As soon as Xue Rengui leaves, he will definitely take a large number of soldiers and horses, originally their troops are at a disadvantage, once they are attacked by Zhang He, they will definitely not be able to hold the camp.

Tian Yu smiled confidently and said, "Please rest assured, General Yu has his own way to make Zhang He unable to get out of the city." ”

Xue Rengui stared at Tian Yu, and saw that his calm expression did not seem to be fake, and he was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Okay, I will leave you 10,000 soldiers and horses, and General Xiongkuohai will stay to assist you." ”

Tian Yu didn't agree, but arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, Yu only needs five thousand soldiers and horses." ”

Xue Rengui frowned even deeper when he heard Tian Yu's words, he had been with Tian Yu for several years, and knew that he was not an arrogant person, but it was too risky to use 5,000 soldiers and horses against Zhang He's 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Just as Xue Rengui was about to persuade him again, he was directly interrupted by Tian Yu, Tian Yu bowed down, and said sonorously: "Guangyang does not allow mistakes, and please believe in Yu." ”

"Okay, just listen to your arrangement, if you can't do anything, retreat immediately, don't clash with Zhang He head-on." Xue Rengui advised.

"No, I will live up to the general's trust."

At night, Xue Rengui quietly left with 25,000 soldiers and horses, leaving behind a large camp that was almost empty.

At dawn the next day, the scouts of the defenders in Liangxiang City suddenly found that a puff of dust had risen in the Tang army camp, and some of it quickly disappeared.

The scout was shocked, afraid that the Tang army would dig a tunnel to enter the city, so he immediately returned to the city to report to Zhang He.

After Zhang He heard this, he immediately ordered a water tank to be placed at the root of the city wall, and at the same time dug up the open space a few zhang in front of the city wall, and he was not sure whether the Tang army wanted to follow Tian Feng's method of breaking Yi County and painting the tiger from the cat.

Zhang He's actions were naturally not concealed from Tian Yu, and when he heard the scout's report on Zhang He's actions, he immediately called Xiong Kuohai and said: "In the past few days, I also asked General Xiong to lead the troops to Liangxiang City to challenge." ”

Xiong Kuohai smiled, these days with Zhang He, he has cursed him a lot, although he can't fight, but after a while, he can still feel comfortable.

Xiong Kuohai listened to Tian Yu's advice, led 3,000 cavalry, and went to the city of Liangxiang, this was not the first time he went to fight, and he was naturally familiar with the road.

Now, halfway through the hour, the air is getting hot and dry, and there is no place to hide from the sun, which also makes the soldier's mood become irritable.

"Zhang He'er, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?" Xiong Kuohai held a cooked copper rod in his hand, pulled his voice, and shouted loudly under the city of Liangxiang.

This is not the first time that Xiong Kuohai has come to fight, Zhang He at the head of the city heard his shout, as if he didn't hear it, even if Xiong Kuohai shouted there, his expression did not fluctuate at all.

He had heard of the Daimyo of the Mighty Sea, a fierce general who could fight against Lu Bu without losing the wind, and he asked himself if he was an opponent, and his task was not to fight, but to defend the city.

"Grandma's, Zhang He, you shrunken turtle, do you dare to go out of the city to fight." The majestic sea under the city shouted for a long time, but he didn't see a reply in the city, and he was already dry-mouthed, so he jumped off the war horse and sat directly on the ground under the city, but there was a cunning in his eyes, which was fleeting.

The majestic sea has been in this place for a long time, and now it is past the time, the soldiers are sweating in the heat, and they are already sweating, seeing that Zhang He does not go out of the city to face the battle, he simply orders everyone to dismount and hide behind the horses to avoid the sun.

Zhang He saw the movements of the majestic sea, his pupils shrank suddenly, his right hand was forceful, and he punched the battlement of the city gate, his fist was soaked in blood, and he gritted his teeth and said damn it, his eyes were burning and looking at the majestic sea, like a beast that wanted to eat people.

On the battlefield, the soldiers dismounted and their weapons were gone, which was naked contempt, if it weren't for the fact that he still had a heavy responsibility, he would have raised his troops out of the city and killed the thousands of people in the vast sea.

Zhang He held back his anger, didn't look at Xiong Kuohai and the others, turned around and went down the city, and at the same time said sharply: "Without the order of the general, no one is allowed to go out of the city to face the battle." ”

The defenders of the city agreed in unison, they did not have the idea of assaulting the vast sea, so they naturally would not easily get out of the pass.

After a long time, there was no movement in the city, and Xiong Kuohai couldn't help frowning, Zhang He's patience far exceeded his expectations.

"What a turtle shell." Xiong Kuohai couldn't help but curse.

After scolding, Xiong Kuohai could only order: "Collect the troops!" ”
