Chapter 92: Zhao Yue who attacked the grain
For several strategists under Cao Cao, those who are good at analyzing the battle situation and know how to march can only count the military division sacrificing wine Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.
Cao Ren bowed again: "Lord, Lord Guo Jia, there are too many soldiers under Yuan Shu, and they are crowded and dense. At this time, the enemy infantry was already close to our archers, and no matter how skilled the archers were, they could not compete with the enemy infantry at close range. ”
Guo Jia was puzzled: "What about the infantry army? What about the Qingzhou Army led by General Yu Ban? And where are the infantry led by the two generals Le Jin and Li Dian, why don't they stop in front of General Xiahou's archers and relieve him of the siege? ”
"Yuan Shu's soldiers are too many, and our people are surrounded by groups, and they can't save each other, and if this goes on for a long time, our army will not be able to hold on for a long time, and I hope that the lord will make a decision as soon as possible."
The sound of the battle in all directions was deafening, and Cao Cao shouted at Guo Jia on his horse: "Fengxiao, as you can see, what should we do?" ”
Guo Jia was riding on a thin horse, with a thin body and a somewhat pale face, and after listening to Cao Cao's words at this time, there was also a trace of sadness on his face, and he was quickly using his brain. After a moment, he said with some hesitation: "My lord, since ancient times, those who are difficult to defeat head-on should be defeated by calculation. In my opinion, the only way to win at the moment is to send a team, either to attack the enemy in a circle, or to attack the location of Yuan Shu's army's grain and grass. ”
Cao Cao's face was first surprised, and then anxious: "Good idea, it's just that the two armies are about to fight, and I am alone in command, and I can't leave, otherwise I will be mistaken by many soldiers and soldiers for running for my life, and the army's heart is unstable!" Moreover, our army has now run out of surplus forces to steal food, and if we divide our forces again. I'm afraid that I will be broken by the enemy one by one. ”
As Cao Cao said, the battlefield was at a stalemate for a while. The blue of the sky contrasts sharply with the war-baptized land of Kuangting. Cao Cao was secretly looking forward to Zhao Yue, the commander of the reinforcements who had not yet arrived. Being able to understand what they really want to do at the moment.
But at the same time, he also looked forward to Zhao Yue not understanding.
At this time, Zhao Yue and his party were about to enter the Kuangting realm, but looking at the dense black shadows in the low concave terrain in front of them, like a cloud of black ink, Zhao Yue and several other leaders fell into silence.
There are too many enemies, and this is a war between tens of thousands of people, and if their 2,000 men rush in like this, I am afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket. It is impossible to extinguish the growing flames of war.
The Meng idiot rode on his horse and said with an expressionless face: My lord, the minister has a plan to avoid this army of more than 100,000, make the situation of the war clear, and let Cao Cao's army reap the fruits of victory. ”
Although Zhao Yue also has a strategy in his chest and the art of war in his brain, it still takes a period of time to really apply it flexibly. So now he has to rely on the fool, "What? Idiots can be quick to talk. ”
"At present, the two armies are facing each other, although the number is large, but the amount of grain and grass that needs to be supplied every day is also huge. As the old saying goes, 'the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved', and this time the ministers watched Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shu's army, and their morale was very high. However, as long as one side of the grain and grass is robbed, it is bound to be defeated. So. The minister suggested that the lord lead these two thousand soldiers to follow the example of the divine soldiers to descend from heaven. Sneak attack on Yuan Shu's grain and grass is the way to win. ”
Zhao Yue nodded while listening, this trick is indeed a good way to solve the dilemma of Cao Cao's army at present, and it can also avoid letting all their soldiers die in Yuan Shu's nearly 200,000 soldiers.
"What about the news of the horses? Where is the place where Yuan Shujun hoarded grain, how many people are stationed there, and who are the guards? Zhao Yue looked around, wanting to find someone to ask.
Meng idiot is always very thoughtful, and he has already figured out these clearly, "Lord, Yuan Shujun's grain and grass are hoarded on Wu Mountain in the south of Kuangting, and Sun Ce and other generals of the former Sun clan will lead 15,000 troops to defend the town. ”
"Fifteen thousand ......" Zhao Yue's face was a little ugly, but he comforted himself: "Although the number is still very frightening compared to our army, at least it is better than rushing directly into the battlefield, just follow the idea of the idiot, and if we succeed, I also have a good plan!" ”
Hearing this, Meng Idiot squinted his eyes, and then suddenly asked with a smile: "The intention of the lord is not to encircle Wei to save Zhao, take off the uniforms of the soldiers of the Yuan Shu army who guard the grain, and change them on the body of our army, and then attack Yuan Shu's main city, Wancheng in Jingbei?" ”
"That's right, exactly."
Zhao Yue replied neatly and decisively, but there was a trace of displeasure in his heart, but he couldn't tell what this feeling was. Sometimes this is the case, a little touch in the heart will not be noticed at all, and only when it slowly invades people's hearts in the future will we know what that feeling is.
Instant decision, this is a quality that the Lord should have.
Zhao Yue led his two thousand men and horses, led by Wang Jian and several hundred horse troops to open the way, and he led the rest of the soldiers and the queen of the Mengzi Palace to advance slowly, and finally arrived at Wushan Mountain, where Yuan Shu had hoarded grain and grass, that night.
The night was dark and the wind was high, but the inside of the Yuan army camp on Wu Mountain was brightly lit. Knowing that the guard was Sun Ce, Wang Jian had an unconcealable anger and unyielding anger in his heart, thinking that when he was in the Tiger Prison, he was defeated by Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, by attacking and stealing the camp with fire. Today, I can finally repay the other in the other way!
Zhao Yue and Meng Idiot also crouched in the barren grass in the mountains, and he ordered all his troops not to move, and they did not make a sound, and those who violated the order were beheaded.
Such a strict military law is especially effective for a small number of 2,000 people. Zhao Yue asked the guide to explain the topography of Wushan. In Wushan Mountain, in addition to a relatively flat road that can go up and down Wushan, there are still two relatively steep paths that can lead to the official road to Shouchun City.
After listening to the guide's explanation, Zhao Yue showed a happy smile, he expected that Sun Ce had a large number of soldiers, even if they succeeded in stealing the camp, they could not guarantee 100% capture of Sun Ce, it was better to catch Sun Ce in two places where Sun Ce might escape.
Therefore, he had the cavalry ambush at the intersection of the two small roads in Wushan to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the middle of the night, when Zhao Yue gave an order, all the soldiers of the Luoyang Army would rush into the camp. While waiting, Zhao Yue looked up at the bright moonlight in the sky, feeling a little desolate, and finally said to the idiot on the side: "Idiot, my ancestors didn't use such inferior sneak attack methods when they were fighting in all directions, right?" ”
Meng Idiot was meditating and resting on the side, listened to Zhao Yue's words, and replied without thinking: "Young Master, you are wrong, the reason why the First Emperor did not use this method was not because it was an inferior method, but because the Qin State at that time had enough ability to confront the Six Kingdoms head-on. It is precisely because of this that there is the matter of General Bai Qi killing hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. ”
"Idiot, but I think that using sneak attacks will make the enemy unconvinced......" Zhao Yue still looked at the bright moon in the sky, unable to see what he was thinking.
"Young Master, you are right, winning by head-on confrontation will convince the enemy army and create fear in their hearts. The reason why the First Emperor did not retain his national strength, but raised a whole army to conquer everywhere, was precisely because he had great ambitions and wanted to make the whole world subjugated; But young master, your current strength is still very weak, so it's good to be able to win, and you don't need to care about the means. ”
The words of the idiot made Zhao Yue feel that he was an old and cunning traitor, but it also made Zhao Yue feel that he was a loyal and loyal man.
"It's good to win, you don't need to care about the means......" Although it is written like this in the book, Zhao Yue still has concerns, although many things at present make this young man feel unacceptable, but he will often reveal the true emotions in his heart.
After all, it's the truest side of being human, and tonight's night is beautiful.
"That's right, it's good to win, don't care about the means," the idiot knew that his young master Zhao Yue would kill a lot of people tonight, but he still felt that Zhao Yue was not wrong, "If you only care about whether the means to win are good or evil, then you will definitely lose, rather than that, it is better to win in the troubled times, as for good and evil, only save until the assessment of the troubled times." ”
"I see." The corners of Zhao Yue's mouth lifted slightly, and she smiled strangely: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain; Although it is wrong in times of war, as long as you become the final victor, what is wrong will also become right; But even if you abide by your principles in times of war, once you become a victim of the reunification of others...... Then everything you do is stubborn. ”
The idiot didn't answer for a long time, just thinking about something, and after a while, he replied with two words lightly.
"That's right." (To be continued.) )
