Chapter 51: The Trick of Drama Zhicai
The night is like a thick inkstone, deep and difficult to dissolve. The stars that used to be visible when they looked up didn't know where they had flown there. The crescent moon that barely appeared in the air was soon obscured by dark clouds.
Zhang Bao looked up at the dark clouds in the middle of the night, and sighed: "The dark clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it." ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "The lord is very literate, and he summarizes the current situation of our army in one word." The lord is really very human. ”
"Hey, I'll go~" Zhang Bao sighed in his heart, he just saw that the thick dark clouds in the sky covered the crescent moon. I originally wanted to come up with a few lines of poetry to describe my feelings, but I knew that I would remember this poem about dark clouds after a long time. I didn't expect the crooked hit to hit the right one.
"Sir, our army has been defeated for several days. I don't have any plans when I think about it, so do you have any clever plans for the military advisor? Zhang Bao said with a sad face. Grab a supper on the table and take a sip. "Then, you can have a bowl too." said that he served a bowl to Xi Zhicai.
In the past few days, Zhang Bao has lost weight because of the war, which makes Wanrou feel distressed for a while. changed his method to make all kinds of tonic supper for Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao accidentally had a nosebleed when he ate it.
Recently, Zhang Bao has been pondering whether to accept Wanrou, lest he bleed too much and die.
Xi Zhicai picked up the supper in the bowl and took a bite of it, "Miss Wanrou's craftsmanship is really rare in the world." Xi Zhicai closed his eyes and slowly swallowed the food in his mouth. A compliment to the aftertaste.
may also be because of the poor impression of Wanrou from the beginning of Xi Zhicai, Wanrou has never been waiting to see Xi Zhicai. Although in the face of major rights and wrongs, Wanrou will not give Xi Zhicai that embarrassment, but for such details and trivial matters, Xi Zhicai is often deliberately ignored.
For example, this supper, every day Wanrou will stew a pot of supper for Zhang Bao. But he never gave Zhang Bao a bowl carefully when he brought it, and the other empty bowl was placed directly on the table, and the small body board turned to Xi Zhicai and left with a roll of eyes.
Every time he sees this kind of scene, Xi Zhicai smiles bitterly. And at this time, Zhang Bao was the most gloating, picking up a small bowl and taking a sip, and not forgetting to smash it.
Sometimes Xi Zhicai himself secretly regretted it, why did he have to put on a shelf at that time, and now he is not under the account of the lord? Now it's better to offend this predestined mother.
After a bowl of supper was eaten, Xi Zhicai said slowly: "What do you think is the chance that our army will win against the Han army now?" ”
"Huh? What are the odds? Zhang Bao thought about it carefully and said: "Our army still has 150,000 troops, of which about 100,000 can go to the battlefield after removing various family members. The Han army probably has about 40,000 people, but the Han army has 3,000 iron horses. In terms of morale, our army has suffered a new defeat, and there are many inferior Han troops. But we have you, the great strategist, here, much stronger than the Han army. ”
The lord praised it. According to the calculation of the lord, the odds of our army and the enemy are open in five or five? ”
"Well, I think it's five or five, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, if you are serious, my army's chances of victory are probably less than that of the Han army." Zhang Bao said seriously.
Xi Zhicai nodded: "What the lord said is true, but there is a plan to discipline the enemy's 40,000 troops to be wiped out." ”
"The military advisor already has a plan in his heart, why don't you say it earlier? I've lost a lot of weight day and night. Zhang Bao said with a happy face. Since the last time Cao Cao led the cavalry to slaughter one-sidedly, Zhang Bao simply couldn't sleep at night.
Xi Zhicai apologized: "Lord, didn't you say it earlier." However, this plan can only be implemented with the cooperation of the enemy. In the past few days, I have observed the movements of the enemy troops, and I have seen that the smoke of the enemy camp is first cooked three times a day, and then slowly twice, and today I see that the smoke of the enemy is only lit once. Only then did they send scouts to discover that the enemy had no troops and horses. There was only one reason for that, the enemy army was running out of food and grass. ”
"Does the military advisor mean to take advantage of the enemy's lack of food and grass to take the lead in attacking?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "No, our army is still standing still. According to the intelligence, Zhonglang General Zhu Jun went to the court to ask for reinforcements, and the reinforcements should be two ways of people, only to see Cao Cao all the way to the reinforcements, only then did it feel wrong. Now I understand that the other reinforcements did not come, but came with grain and grass in the back. What we have to do now is to be the first to find reinforcements and rob them of food and grass before the enemy sends troops to meet them. Huangfu Song's 40,000 army ran out of food and grass, and there was no need for our army to send troops, so it retreated. ”
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan." Zhang Bao's eyes lit up when he listened, he was worthy of being a strategist, and this observation was really not blown. A simple trace can guess the movement of the enemy.
"Strategist, I think I can take this opportunity to send troops to harass the enemy army. There is no contradiction between the two sides, and because the enemy army has no food, I am afraid that they will not dare to engage our army head-on. Wouldn't it be better if we could send a few small detachments of troops to harass the enemy day and night, day and night, to make them overwhelmed? Zhang Bao added.
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up: "The lord's plan is also very good, so that the enemy army will mistakenly think that our army has not seen through the lack of food in its army." Just enough to paralyze the enemy army. ”
The two of them have agreed on the remaining details. "Looks like I'll get a good night's sleep tonight." Zhang Bao stretched and yawned.
In the past few days, I haven't slept well for a few days because of the anxiety about the war situation, and a few nights of Xi Zhicai's strategy made Zhang Bao take a reassuring pill, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he immediately felt sleepiness attacking.
"Lord, rest early. I took my leave. After Xi Zhicai and Zhang Bao agreed on all the details one by one, they were also mentally exhausted and said goodbye and returned to the camp to rest.
As soon as Xi Zhi left, Wanrou yawned and came out of nowhere.
"Wanrou, why haven't you rested yet?" Zhang Bao was a little surprised when he saw Wanrou come in. He thought Wanrou had already rested, so he planned to make do with it for a night.
"Isn't the master still resting, and the slave is waiting to serve the master." Wanrou said in her mouth, but her hand kept rubbing Zhang Bao's bed.
Wanrou, who had made the bed, stood aside, and Zhang Bao saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Say anything you want, I feel sorry for you like this." ”
Wanrou pursed her lips and whispered, "Master, slaves don't understand military affairs. It's just that recently I saw that the old man was worried, and he hadn't rested well for many days, and the whole person had lost weight. The slave maid thinks that the master's body is the most important thing, if the master collapses, Wanrou and our Yellow Turban Army will have no backbone, so please take care of the body. ”
Zhang Bao laughed out loud: "The little girl still doesn't understand military affairs." You're using the whole army to suppress your lord and me. Okay, sir, I know. Go and rest. By the way, how are you Jun'er? ”
"Jun'er is very well-behaved, and recites "Hundred Family Names" every day according to the master's requirements. It's just to taste the old man. When it comes to his younger brother Zhang Jun, the surname Gao Cailie with a gentle face is Wanrou.
"Well, you tell Jun'er that you'll be able to see me after this while. Children are young, and it is the time to play, but if you want to get ahead, you must restrain yourself and study hard. You must supervise Jun'er to complete her homework every day. I'll go back to check on his homework in a while. Zhang Bao said carefully.
"Well, slave remembers."
"Okay, let's go and rest~"
、
At the beginning, Zhang Bao accepted Wanrou's younger brother Zhang Jun as an apprentice was really just an expedient measure, and later found that this child had an abnormal hobby for the soldiers, which made Zhang Bao very happy, and handed him "Hundred Family Names" and asked him to read first.
Zhang Bao himself is not proficient in education, so Zhang Bao plans to find a gentleman for him, and after the enlightenment, Zhang Bao has already found a good teacher for him, Xi Zhicai.
As for what he can cultivate in the future, Zhang Bao is still full of expectations.
