After Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun left, Cao Zhang summoned Xiahou Nan into the big tent and said: "Zilin, now you take the two hundred Yue cavalry battalion sergeants under your command to Baitu County and Xian Lingqiang in the upper reaches of the Balwei River, about three hundred miles away from here, and the two righteous Conghu armies to turn around, convey my plan, let them stand still, maintain a state of confrontation with Tuoba Xianbei's army, and send cavalry to pursue when Tuoba Xianbei begins to retreat."

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan said suspiciously: "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for being stupid, why would my lord conclude that Tuoba Xianbei would retreat without a fight?" ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "I have sent Bo Kang and Zilong to burn and loot the tribes in their Tuoba Xianbei territory, as long as Tuoba Xianbei gets the news, he will definitely retreat in a hurry to defend his homeland, and then you can pursue it." ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan suddenly realized that he agreed and then took the order to leave, and then Cao Zhang called Chen Zhi to his tent, Chen Zhi was born in Cao Zhang's personal guard, and the relationship was different from that of other generals, so he came in and asked: "My lord, I see that General Zilong and General Bokang have reorganized their troops successively, and they look like they are going to travel far away. ”

Cao Chang replied: "Exactly. ”

Chen Zhi said: "Please forgive my subordinates for talking too much, my lord sent them out like this, so that our army is separated from the cavalry, and there is no shelter above the desert, if our army encounters a surprise attack and harassment by the enemy's cavalry, there is no cavalry to protect it, tens of thousands of people will inevitably be in chaos, and then the light will be the loss of the army, and the heavy will be a big chaos, and there will be a defeat!" ”

Cao Zhang smiled when he heard this: "Shu Zhi has read a lot of military books, and he even has such an eye for the fierce battle in the desert, I don't know which military book Shu Zhi is reading?" ”

Chen Zhi replied: "The last general is studying the 'Soldiers' in the first volume of "Wei Xuanzi". ”

Cao Zhang thinks that the advantage of Chen Zhi is not that he is second only to Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's martial arts, but his studious attitude, maybe in history, this Liu Bei's close guard did not have the opportunity to lead the troops, so he did not show his studious advantages, but now because of Cao Zhang's arrival, Chen Zhi's life has changed dramatically.

In the Three Kingdoms era, if you can be the king's close guards, all of them are fierce generals with outstanding martial arts, whether it is Dian Wei and Xu Chu under the command of the Cao family, or Liu Bei's guard Zhao Yun in history, and Zhou Tai who protected Sun Quan to fight out of the siege, all of them are dominated by force, and Chen Zhizheng is a studious general, over time, he will become a great weapon, at least Cao Zhang thinks so.

Now Cao Zhang's chat-like discussion with him is a kind of inspiration for Chen Zhi, only to hear Cao Zhang said: ""Wei Zhizi" is indeed a strange book, not only written about the art of war but also the art of governing the army, for the way of the general, when I was young, Mr. Fengxiao also discussed several of the articles with me, today Shu Zhi can point to the taboo of the separation of our army's infantry and cavalry, it can be seen that Shu Zhi has benefited a lot from this book. ”

Chen Zhi said: "The adult has won the prize, compared to the genius pen of the adult to intercept Yuan Shao's Wuchao granary and the treacherous art of war of raiding the high cadre, the end will be beyond the reach of the dust." ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "The deployment of the army is like a chessboard layout, but the opponent is not in front of us, so we have to estimate his next move from the opponent's reaction, record, and even the evaluation of his allies and enemies. ”

Chen Zhi nodded understandingly, and Cao Zhang continued: "The weakness of the Xianbei people is that they live by water and grass, have no fixed place to live, and have no food security, which leads to their weak ability to reproduce. Sending Zilin to let Xian Lingqiang and Lianglu Yi Conghu not move, it was precisely for the purpose of arranging and delaying the army to buy time for Zilong and Bo Kang, so that they could weaken Tuoba Xianbei's strength to the greatest extent. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhi suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the adults have already made arrangements!" Presumably, the adults have already asked Zilin to inform Xian Lingqiang and Lianglu Yi Conghu that as long as the Xianbei people retreat, they will immediately pursue them, so that they will have to face the pursuit of the army when they rescue their tribe. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "I do have this deployment, but it's just a false shot, I don't expect Lingqiang and Bian Jing at all, Li Wenhou and Zilin can catch up with the Xianbei people, Tuoba Xianbei across the desert, from Mobei to the outside of the pass, I am afraid that the familiarity with this land is stronger than all of us, as long as they sneak into the desert, they will never be able to catch up with these Xianbei people, which is also the reason why they can always cross the pass, and this is the reason why I called Shuzhi." ”

Chen Zhi was confused when he heard this, he already had an incomprehensible feeling about his young commander, and he had already admired the method of sending Zhao Yun and Gongsun to continue to fight the tribe, but now Cao Zhang said that Xian Lingqiang and Liangluyi from Hu and Xiahou Nan could not catch up with Xianbei people, what does this have to do with Chen Zhi, who is not in the main battlefield? It also became the main reason why Cao Zhang called him.

Seeing that Chen Zhi didn't speak, Cao Zhang continued: "Mr. Fengxiao and I only said the same thing when I lectured, that is, the world is a disaster to the country, once I asked him the law of marching, he said with a smile: The law of marching lies in the heart, as long as you grasp the hearts of the people, you can win in one fell swoop, the people will first grasp the hearts of the people, and the more soldiers will grasp the hearts of the army. Now what I want to expect is the heart of Tuoba Liwei. ”

Chen Zhi faintly understood the purpose of Cao Zhang's call, and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency has already guessed Tuoba Liwei's movements after that?" ”

Cao Zhang said: "I broke through Puzi and caught Lin Qing, the young master of the Lin family, he admired Tuoba Li Wei, Lin Qing is a tough guy, and playing Puzi is also the battle I lost the most, from the siege to the street battle, the Lin family has created enough trouble for us, such a person has Wei Tuoba Li Wei, I think this person is also a difficult character, and Puzi Lin family and Tuoba Xianbei are the same as the branch, must be deeply affected by him, look at their behavior after the defeat and want to lurk in Puzi, you can guess that Tuoba Liwei is also a master who is not willing to fail, So after his tribe was copied, he hastily retreated and threw off the pursuers, what did Shu Zhi think this person was most likely to do? ”

Chen Zhi suddenly realized, patted his head and said: "He will inevitably turn around and kill our army camp, and come to repay the other in the other way!" Because we committed the taboo of separating infantry and cavalry, if he is not willing to fail, he will naturally come here to try his luck, maybe he can also come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and more thoroughly, because there is an adult in the camp, you, the commander of the three armies! ”

Cao Zhang expressed his satisfaction with Chen Zhi's understanding, now his strategic vision and ability to anticipate the enemy's mind are formed under the influence of Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Cao Cao, Chen Zhi does not have his conditions, so he still needs to sharpen, but Cao Zhang believes that as long as he practices and sets an example, Chen Zhi will definitely be able to achieve something, at this time Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Uncle Zhi has read a lot of military books, can you know Han Xin's ambush on all sides?" ”

Chen Zhi said excitedly: "The last general is going to discuss with General Zhang Yan!" ”

Cao Zhang waved his hand, and Chen Zhi said goodbye and left. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
