Chapter 155: Troops
When the generals' eyes lit up, Jia Xu had already returned to normal. However, the surprise in Jia Xu's heart was still very intense.
This General Chen is really amazing one after another, and the person who can come up with such a plan is really not ordinary insidious.
Jia Xu commented on this strategy as insidious.
But he didn't know that the prototype of Chen Sheng's strategy was originally his.
The generals didn't have as many ideas as Jia Xu, they only felt enthusiastic and agreed with Chen Sheng's strategy very much.
"What a brilliant plan." Wang Wei even blurted out.
For Wang Wei, Chen Sheng's reputation was only heard before, but now seeing is believing. There is no need to say how brilliant the person who can come up with such a clever plan is.
It's really outstanding, no wonder some people say that Chen Sheng's talent is ten times better than Zhang Xiu, and there is a reason for it.
Wang Wei's heart was full of admiration.
However, Wang Wei was a little hesitant about whether to send troops or not. He just said to Chen Sheng that they were sent by Liu Biao to rescue Wancheng, and they would fully support Wancheng.
Actually, that's only half the story.
Liu Biao's heart is still very wary of Chen Sheng. Before leaving, he issued another secret order, asking them to take more precautions against Chen Sheng.
As a result, Wenpin was reluctant to enter the city. I was afraid that Chen Sheng would take the opportunity to kill them and seize the military power of these 30,000 soldiers.
And now that he's coming in alone, there's no danger there.
All in all, Liu Biao meant that it would be good to keep Wancheng, and he was not interested in defeating Cao Ying. And now that Cao Ying has withdrawn his troops, Chen Sheng wants to attack Cao's army and win a victory.
It was clearly beyond the scope of his purpose.
Naturally, Wang Wei also fell into a little hesitation. If Wen Ping, who is calm and very obedient to orders, is here, I am afraid that he will refuse.
However, it is Wang Wei who is here now. He is not old-fashioned, he has a warm blood, and in addition, he has a pair of eyes that are more strategic.
In his opinion, Chen Sheng or something, no matter how powerful he is, there are not enough cities, and the people have always relied on the forces that exist in Jingzhou as support.
The real enemy of the world is Cao Ying, or Yuan Shao.
Wang Wei saw it very clearly, this Yuan Shao and Cao Ying would have a battle sooner or later, and whoever could dominate the north would be the strongest enemy in Jingzhou.
And the reason why Wang Wei is stronger than most people in this world is here. Wang Wei felt that Cao Ying's chances of winning were relatively large, and Wang Wei couldn't say the specific reason, but he thought so.
And Wang Wei has enthusiasm, since he has determined that Cao Ying has a better chance of winning, then weakening Cao Ying now is equivalent to weakening the enemy for Jingzhou.
Therefore, Wang Wei is very interested in fighting Cao Ying in the last game.
"Although it is said that the art of war is cloudy, do not chase after the army, and if you chase it, you will be defeated. But with General Chen's strategy, this situation can be reversed, okay, I agree with this strategy. ”
Wang Wei finally nodded and said.
Wang Wei, who is hot-blooded and has a strategic vision, finally failed to escape Chen Sheng's clutches.
Finally, the Jingzhou soldiers were pulled into the water. This time, Cao Ying, you have enough to bear. Chen Sheng was quite happy to see this, but Chen Sheng's face was extremely serious.
"After a bloody battle between the three of them, there are not many elite soldiers that I can use in Wancheng. I can free up a maximum of 3,000 elite soldiers, I wonder how many elite soldiers General Wang can have? ”
Chen Sheng asked, and began to ask about his own combat strength.
Three thousand elite soldiers? Wang Wei couldn't help frowning, although the army returned, there might not be many troops after the break. But at least not less than 10,000 people.
Even if there is a miracle of Chen Sheng, if there are fewer troops to pursue. It is possible that this clever plan has turned into a stupid one.
However, Wang Wei can't help it. Wancheng's army originally seemed to be 18,000. After three days of bloody fighting, there were always thousands of dead, plus the wounded.
It is indeed not easy to free up 3,000 elite soldiers.
Well, I'll have to add at least 6,000 soldiers. But in this way, among the elite soldiers who pursued Cao Ying, our Jingzhou soldiers were twice as many as the elite soldiers of Wancheng.
Regardless of success or failure, this loss will definitely be twice as much as that of Wancheng's elite soldiers.
It seems to be a bit of a loss.
Wang Wei was vigilant after all, and he began to analyze the gains and losses. However, defeating Cao Ying and weakening Cao Ying is a very powerful obsession in Wang Wei's heart.
Chen Sheng must be vigilant, and Cao Ying must also be weakened.
Is it important to be wary of Chen Sheng, or is it important to weaken Cao Sheng? Wang Wei thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that it was imperative to weaken Cao Ying.
"I can select 6,000 elite soldiers to help in the battle." Wang Wei finally answered Chen Sheng's question.
"Fooled." Although I am a little sorry for Wang Wei, an unold-fashioned and funny Jingzhou general, Chen Sheng is very happy that he has achieved his goal.
Of course, Chen Sheng's face was impassive.
"Nine thousand elite soldiers, there is no problem with the pursuit. I also asked General Wang to go out of the city immediately and select elite soldiers, and I will also prepare in the city. After Cao's army officially retreated, it was time to start marching into the army. ”
Chen Sheng took a deep breath and said.
"Then I'll take my leave." Wang Wei nodded, and then said goodbye and left.
After Wang Wei left, Chen Sheng glanced at the generals, and saw that every general was gearing up and full of momentum. None of them realized that Chen Sheng wanted to pursue Cao's army and pull the Jingzhou soldiers into the water.
Immediately, Chen Sheng glanced at Jia Xu, this guy was still as quiet as ever, he must have thought of it.
"Except for Yuan Jian, let's go down and prepare. In this battle, the generals went into battle in person. Chen Sheng ordered.
"No."
Except for Liao Hua, everyone agreed in unison, and then happily went down to prepare to go.
Soon after, only Chen Sheng, Liao Hua, and Jia Xu were left in the hall. And Chen Sheng specially left Liaohua for a reason.
"Yuan Jian, I saw that the 30,000 elite soldiers just now are very imposing. Are the elite soldiers in Jingzhou all such elite? Chen Sheng asked in a deep voice.
After all, history books are history books, and some history books will deliberately weaken the losers. And now, Chen Sheng saw with his own eyes the strength of those 30,000 elite soldiers.
I have to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou soldiers.
If the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou soldiers is very strong, then this time it will be considered as a weakening of some troops. The capture of Jingzhou will still be difficult, so it will have to be replanned.
"Back to the general, those 30,000 elite soldiers are basically straw bales. Only Wen Ping, the 10,000 elite soldiers led by General Wang Wei are the real elite. ”
Liao Hua replied with a smile when he heard this.
"I see." Chen Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Then it seems that these elite soldiers are using less, and if I go down with this knife, the effect will be very good." Immediately, Chen Sheng smiled and looked happy.
If Jingzhou has only 10,000 elite soldiers.
And this time in pursuit, Chen Sheng felt that at least Wang Wei could be consumed, and the 1,000 elite soldiers hired by Wen were equivalent to consuming 10%. A knife down, full of happiness.
