Under the city of Qiaoxian, Cao Bao finally made a correct decision after learning that Yuan Shu's army had arrived: to strengthen the camp. The Xuzhou Army, which was originally very advantageous, turned this war into a disadvantage under the command of Cao Bao, which has to make people wonder which side of Cao Bao is the general.

Yuan Shu's army arrived under Qian County, also because of the hard work of the march, and did not go to Cao Bao for trouble, but directly entered the city of Qian County. At this time, there were only about 1,000 defenders left in the county, but these people made the Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao suffer a lot of success in the city.

Yan Xiang Yuan Jian was still thinking about how to boost the morale of his army in Qian County, after all, as a defeated army all the way, after arriving in Qian County, he had to face the Xuzhou army that had always won fewer victories and more defeats, so he had to boost his morale. It's just that what they didn't expect was that there was no more business for them in this link, and the more than 1,000 defenders automatically took on this task.

The more than 10,000 soldiers brought back by Yuan Shu were originally related, but after seeing the more than 1,000 defenders of Qian County, he was curious about why these people were obviously facing an advantageous enemy, and why the Xuzhou army could be so relaxed? After some inquiry, these soldiers were also directly involved in betting on how many corpses the Xuzhou army would drop during a siege. So, does this army still need to boost morale?

The Xuzhou Army under the command of Cao Bao is now surrounded by layers of rejection of horses, and there are as many as 20 layers under the careful counting. And between the rejection of the horse and the rejection of the horse, there are large and small traps in between, and the end is the defense is impermeable.

However, the Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao now has nearly 30,000 troops, and the defenders in the city plus the army brought back by Yuan Shu are less than 20,000 people, but Cao Bao directly turned to attack. It's okay to keep that, but the question is what kind of situation is Cao Bao only guarding the east gate of Qian County, isn't it obvious that if you want to leave, I won't stay?

Cao Bao did this, so that the Xuzhou army, which was still a little angry, was really demoralized, and the superior forces were still the besieging side, but at this time they set up a defensive formation, which made the morale of those soldiers plummet.

The art of war is cloudy: the way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom; Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. I have to say that Cao Bao cleverly avoided the upper strategy and has been using the lower strategy to fight with the defenders of Qian County.

And there are also clouds in "The Art of War": ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, and the enemy can divide it, and if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided. However, in the battle of attacking Qiaoxian, Cao Bao first had ten times the combat power of the defenders, but he chose to attack on one side, so that the defenders could mobilize all their forces to defend on the east city wall. Moreover, in this way, the defenders of the city were able to freely maintain communication with Yuan Shu outside the city. If the county really can't be defended, then the defenders also have a way to exit, so that they can rest assured that they can fight with the Xuzhou army.

And now, when there are still superior forces, they have chosen to defend. Who has ever seen someone else fight a war, and if they don't win the war, they don't withdraw their troops and set up camp to defend under the noses of others? Isn't this a plan for someone else to attack?

The reason why Yuan Shu rushed to Qian County with a large army was to get a victory before returning to Yangzhou, so as to boost morale and save some face. At this time, he even asked several of his strategists to observe Cao Bao's defense together, in the hope of being able to win a beautiful battle.

As the saying goes: if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. Although Cao Bao has built his own camp into a hedgehog that people can't speak, don't forget, the morale of the current Xuzhou army is completely lost, and even the personnel on duty and patrol will also be distracted. What's more, people will have dependence, and now the Xuzhou army feels that the defense of the camp is so tight, how could the Yangzhou soldiers come to attack and rob the camp? With this mentality, don't expect the Xuzhou army to be very attentive to the matter of being on duty.

As for Cao Bao himself, he hid in his tent and drank every day, leaving all affairs to Cao Hong. But if Cao Hong is capable, can he still do things under Cao Bao? Even if Cao Hong is capable, he just spends all his thoughts on pleasing his boss. So, Cao Bao drank in his tent every day, and Cao Hong would investigate along the regular route every day, and then go to his tent.

To say that this Cao Hong, but it is even worse than Cao Leopard, before taking the opportunity to go out hunting with Cao Leopard every day, he went to scourge the big girl in the nearby village, and now he can't get out, but it is even more excessive, and he directly plundered the big girl into his own tent.

A group of soldiers looked at the two generals, one only knew how to drink every day, and the other was even more excessive in stealing incense ** and killing the people. So, how can these soldiers maintain a normal state of mind? The absence of a mutiny means that the military discipline of these soldiers is already very good.

"What are your plans?" In Qian County, Yuan Shu sat on top of everyone, looked at everyone and said.

Yuan Lian looked at Yan Xiang, but Yan Xiang shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found it yet. Yang Hong is good at slapping horses, but his resourcefulness is slightly inferior, and he didn't find anything, and he didn't speak. But Li Feng did stand up at this time.

"My lord, the defense of the Xuzhou army is tight, but it is only tightly arranged. From the city wall, it can be seen that the morale of the Xuzhou army is low, and there are often mistakes in the sentry patrol. Therefore, it is only necessary to find a way to break through those arrangements on the periphery of the Xuzhou army to achieve a great victory. "Because Li Feng has been observing the Xuzhou Army in Qiaoxian County, he can be said to be well aware of the changes in the Xuzhou Army, so he put forward this plan.

After Yuan Jian and the others heard this, they also felt that it made sense, but the question was, how could they break through the rejection horses arranged by the Xuzhou army on the periphery of the camp? If it is a direct attack, then the Xuzhou army only needs to attack with archers after discovering it, and it can kill and injure a large number of Yangzhou troops, so it is not good to say that it is another defeat.

Yuan Shu didn't think about it so much, and asked directly: "Master Li has an idea?" ”

Li Feng just wanted to put forward this article for everyone to pay attention to, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to ask him directly for ideas, which made Li Feng stunned on the spot. It was only soon that Li Feng reacted and replied: "My lord, depending on the subordinates, if you want to successfully break the rejection of the Xuzhou army on the periphery of the camp, you can only let the soldiers steal the camp." ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to steal the camp, Ji Ling, Le Qiang, Zhang Xun and other generals immediately stood up and asked to fight. Yuan Shu was also very happy to see that his subordinates were all actively participating in the battle. After all, his subordinates will enthusiastically seek battle, which means that the lord still has some ability to make his subordinates so.

It's just that now Yuan Shu is not good at choosing who to let fight, if it is about ability or intimacy, it must be Ji Ling. But in this way, it made other generals feel that Yuan Shu was nepotistic, and it was easy to be dissatisfied in their hearts. In this way, Yuan Shu's eyes looked towards Li Feng, and he noticed that it was Li Feng, so let Li Feng choose the person.

Li Feng looked at Yuan Shu's gaze, and he only hated himself for talking too much, what bad ideas he came up with, now it's okay, I'm going to offend people. But after looking around, Li Feng chose a good person. "My lord, my subordinates recommended that the general go out of the city and steal the camp."

As soon as Li Feng's words fell, he directly felt several eyes shooting from other generals, and the meaning was obvious: If you Li Feng didn't say two, five, or six today, then Li Feng, your future life will definitely be "very good".

Li Feng was not afraid at this time, and slowly said his reasons, so that those generals could only feel helpless but helpless, and only hated their innate conditions. "The army steals the camp at night, it must be beware of being discovered by the Xuzhou soldiers, and General Le is the darkest complexion, so let General Le will go out of the city to steal the camp."

As soon as this reason came out, the other generals who were not selected were not only depressed or depressed, but also looked white or wrong? After listening to Li Feng's reason, he grinned and showed a mouthful of big white teeth.
