Chapter 31

Sima Hui surrounded Dongjun with heavy troops, and the witty words were a little maze

As mentioned above, Sima Hui, as Zhang Jiao's behind-the-scenes strategist, set a poisonous plan for Zhang Jiao, using an army of 80,000 to trap the troops in Wei County, besiege Wei and rescue Zhao, to stop Li Xin's attack. Although the number of Guan Yu's troops was miscalculated, it was a good strategy.

Then a question will arise, wouldn't it be more advantageous to use the method of inviting the king into the urn first, and then use fire to attack, and completely annihilate the troops attacking Wei County under the burning city? This has to take into account the whole situation. For the comparison of Li Xin and Zhang Jiao's troops, Zhang Jiao is obviously at a disadvantage, if the army of Wei County is completely annihilated, especially Guan Yu is killed, then Li Xin, as the third brother, will inevitably have the ambition of raising the army, and the mourning army will win. In the face of Li Xin's attack regardless of losses, Zhang Jiao's end was bound to be death, because Li Xin's army was much stronger in combat than Zhang Jiao's army, not to mention that most of Zhang Jiao's army was absorbed, and the possibility of mutiny was extremely high once trapped. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Jiao to risk eating Guan Yu's troops.

The siege is different, Li Xin will inevitably reinforce Guan Yu, so that he can wait for work and encircle the point to send reinforcements. At the same time, it also solved Guangzong's dilemma. So why not transfer the 80,000-strong army directly to Gwangjong for support? First of all, the troops of the Han court are storming Yingchuan, if too many troops are transferred to support Guangzong, once Yingchuan is lost, then Dongjun will be quickly captured, so that the Yellow Turban Army is trapped and died near Guangzong, so that within a few months, the Yellow Turban Army will collapse due to civil strife. After all, to a large extent, the Yellow Turban Army was formed by various factions, and although they all nominally obeyed Zhang Jiao's command, they actually acted independently. Some people can unanimously attack the outside world, but without external pressure, the struggle for power is inevitable. Wei County is not very far from Dong County, once Dong County has something, it can be supported quickly, all things considered, besieging Wei County is a better choice.

But there is a premise for this, that is, 80,000 troops can trap the troops of Wei County. And obviously this is impossible, at the beginning Li Xin handed over more than 50,000 people to Guan Yu, and later became 60,000 after the Yellow Turban Army was incorporated, for 80,000 people, it is simply a fool's dream to trap 60,000 people, and if the 60,000 army wants to break through, it can't be stopped at all, even if it is a head-on decisive battle, Guan Yu's 60,000 people want to defeat Zhang Jiao's 80,000 Yellow Turban Army It is also something that can be done, but the price paid is relatively large.

Li Xin's letter to Guan Yu was mainly to guard against Zhang Jiao's broken cauldron and sink the boat, and used his troops and horses in Dongjun to attack Dongjun, and at the same time abandoned Guangzong and attacked from both sides. In this way, there are enough 200,000 horses, and it is still feasible to attack a Wei county. Therefore, he warned the eldest brother not to be rash, and if there was something that the army could not resist, he would lead the men and horses to retreat to Huguan as soon as possible, and the strength should be preserved. But obviously Zhang Jiao did not have the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, for him, in the case of Li Xin's pursuers in the back, it was too dangerous to attack the city in the south, and the loss of Guangzong's base camp had a great impact on the morale of the entire Yellow Turban Army, so he didn't dare to bet.

In this regard, Li Xin himself is a fan of the authorities. But for Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, they are spectators, because they are not familiar with Guigumen, for them, they only need to position their opponents as Zhang Jiao, and the role of Sima Hui is not obvious. Under the analysis of the two, Li Xin found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, he valued Sima Hui too much and forgot his identity. In the Yellow Turban Army, the people who can talk to each other are all old subordinates who have followed Zhang Jiao for many years and have an important position in the sect. Sima Hui joined halfway, and he couldn't command Zhang Jiao's men and horses at all. At the same time, Zhang Jiao is the sect leader, and he has always been a monopoly on power, if he is made to obey a newcomer, this is simply unrealistic, as the sect leader for many years, Zhang Jiao must have already had a superior mentality, and now when he is in high spirits, he listens to the opinion of a little-known person with peace of mind, he can't stand it at all.

After listening to the analysis of Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, Li Xin thought that he was too careful. Pick the wrong opponent. Knowing that due to the damnation of heaven, Sima Hui could not be an enemy of himself head-on, and it was not advisable for him to acquiesce in the strength of his opponent because he was caught in the comparison of his own strength. The main reason is that Li Xin has been too smooth so far, no one can block his path, and at the same time, the conspiracy and tricks have been easily resolved, so there is a little arrogance. Suddenly, an unknown and powerful opponent appeared, which made Li Xin a little confused. That's why they will suffer from gains and losses, be indecisive, and no longer be high-spirited and confident.

This also sounded a wake-up call for Li Xin, that is, don't underestimate the people of the world, especially the wealthy families, the collapse of the family Sima Hui has caused difficulties to themselves, those real big families, as soon as they make a move, they will be struggling, so Li Xin began to reflect on what he did, and he found that to a large extent, he relied on luck, so Li Xin began to put away his contempt and began to plan seriously. This is a big step forward for him and the beginning of his own maturity.

The ultimate quest for beginners: the heart of the strong opens. After receiving the prompt, Li Xin realized that he had been out of the guidance of the system, and he was so unbearable. In the past, under the guidance of the system, it was smooth sailing, but without the guidance of the system, it lost its direction. What I lack is not ability, but a strong heart.

A strong person needs the courage to face difficulties, the will to persevere, the spirit of never giving up, the humility not to be proud and complacent, the bearing of tolerance, the ambition of the world, and so on. Li Xin carefully examined himself and found that he was too far behind, and the depression of his previous life made him proud and complacent after making small achievements in this life, and looked down on the people of the world, so how to compete with heroes and how to complete his mission.

Li Xin suddenly thought of his grandfather's admonition when he chose words for himself, and at the same time couldn't help but think of what the teacher in his previous life said to him with "University": "From the Son of Heaven to the common people, they are all based on self-cultivation." Those who are chaotic and end up in the end will not be able to do so. "In my previous life, I was a person with conceited emotions, thinking about the dialogue before leaving the teacher (see the first chapter for details), I found that I had never changed my faults, I was a small person in my previous life, and now my decision is related to the fate of thousands of people. Thinking about the fate of those who were stubborn and self-serving, Li Xin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Thanks to the timely discovery, otherwise if you let yourself go on like this, you will not be able to escape the fate of failure.

So this time is a good lesson for Li Xin, so that Li Xin realized his own shortcomings, woke up from the glory of the past, and began to come out of his idealization, and take it for granted, and seriously play against the heroes of the world.
