Chapter 63: Please
"Does the general want to take advantage of the fact that the news of the destruction of the Bocai army has not yet spread, and give the Yellow Turban Army in the rest of the country a surprise attack? I wonder where the general's goal is? Originally, the army of Huangfu Song was trapped in Changshe by Bocai and could not move, and the surrounding Yellow Turban Qu Marshals were assured to boldly attack the county and county, and did not have the slightest precaution against the direction of Changshe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the Huangfu Song army suddenly arrives at this time, it will definitely be able to achieve miraculous feats in one fell swoop.
Huangfu Song smiled approvingly at Cao Cao's keenness: "Meng De expected it to be true, and the general was going to take advantage of the fact that the news of Bocai's defeat had not yet leaked, and inflicted a thunderous blow on the surrounding Yellow Turban rebels. Originally, the general had planned to divide the troops into two routes, one army marched eastward to be responsible for exterminating the remaining Yellow Turban remnants in Yuzhou, and the other army went north to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in Jiyin, Taishan, Jibei, and other counties in northern Yanzhou.
But some time ago, Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, sent a letter to the general asking for help, and the general thought that Nanyang City was a rare fortified city in the world, and the right middle lang general did not have many soldiers and horses, and it was indeed a little difficult to capture Nanyang. Therefore, Ben General was ready to divide another army and be responsible for going south to aid General Right Zhonglang. This time the three routes were divided, and the general planned to personally lead the Chinese army to pacify Yuzhou, but as for the candidates for the commanders of the two route armies in the north and south, they still had to discuss who should be in charge. ”
After the banquet of Huangfu Song, the generals were left, and they actually wanted to select the main generals who would lead the troops!
At this moment, among the generals who were left by Huangfu Song, the lowest were all at the rank of captain, including Wu Yiqi, the commander of the Fu army, and Cao Cao, a total of six people. Above this, there are two people at the rank of lieutenant and one person at the rank of general. There are a total of nine people, and it stands to reason that there should be some competition for the quota of the two commanders, but when Huangfu Song finished speaking, none of the people in the room stood up to recommend themselves.
Why?
It's not that the positions of these two commanders are not attractive, but that these two positions are a little hot, and I really have some concerns about accepting these two positions.
The first is the main general of the southbound army who supports Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, this position seems to be just leading troops to help friendly forces, but don't forget that all the people present now, including Cao Cao, the cavalry captain sent by the imperial court, are all subordinate to the general of the left middle lang, Huangfu Song. He worked under the command of the coach Huangfu Song, and finally solved the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army of Bocai, as long as he can continue to follow under the command of Huangfu Song, this great feat will have its own share of profits no matter what.
But if he is transferred to the command of Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, and not to mention that it is not in an army system, will the imperial court count the meritorious deeds of the Huangfu Song army as its own. It is said that the task that Zhu Jun's army needs to complete at this time is to capture Nanyang and destroy the main force of the Southern Jingyang Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng. The same official army against the Yellow Turban Army, but unlike Bo Cai's attack on Huangfu Song's Changshe City, Zhu Jun had to attack Nanyang City garrisoned by Zhang Mancheng's army with fewer enemies, and the difficulty was bound to be higher than that of Huang Fu Song's previous confrontation with Bo Cai's hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, and if the enemy can divide it, if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided.
It is said that if you have ten times the strength of the enemy, you should surround him, if you are five times the enemy, you should attack him, and if you are twice as strong, you should have the strength to fight. If you can't defeat the enemy, you should disperse the enemy's army, if you are evenly matched, you can resist the enemy, if you have less troops than the enemy, you can break away from the enemy, and if you are far inferior to the enemy, you should avoid the enemy.
Bocai's strength is several times that of Huangfu Song and can be broken by Huangfu Song in one fell swoop, but Zhu Jun's troops are less than half of Zhang Mancheng's, but he still has to forcibly attack Nanyang Jiancheng, which is against the essence of the art of war. When Zhu Jun's army was exhausted, he was killed by Zhang Mancheng in the city, and he didn't know who won and who lost in the battle of Nanyang.
If the battle of Nanyang is ultimately defeated by Zhu Jun's army, although he is a reinforcement sent by Huangfu Song, he will still be counted as Zhu Jun's general, and once the Son of Heaven is angry and blamed, the ghost knows if he will be convicted of ineffective fighting. As long as he continues to live under the command of Huangfu Song, he can steadily achieve meritorious deeds, but he may be defeated and punished for his hard work to Nanyang. With such a huge difference, everyone present is not stupid, who would be stupid enough to rush to Nanyang?
As for the way north to Yanzhou, although the military relationship still belongs to Huangfu Song, the number of Yellow Turban troops in the northern counties of Yanzhou is more or less close to 100,000. And the most critical problem is that Jibei, Jiyin and other counties are very close to the boundary of Qingzhou, according to the latest news in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army over there has been out of control, except for some relatively large counties can still rely on the strong city to defend themselves, the rest of the county has been breached. Once the Yellow Turban Army there crossed the border and ran to Yanzhou, Jibei, Jiyin and other northern counties of Yanzhou would bear the brunt. Almost the same reason as going south, he followed Huangfu Song in Yuzhou to exterminate some of the remnants of Bocai, and it was very easy to mix up feats and victories, so why bother to go to the northern counties of Yanzhou to take risks?
Huang Fu Song knew that both of these errands were very risky, so he planned to see if anyone was willing to volunteer to take on the role. But seeing that everyone responded to him with silence for a while, Huang Fu Song's face couldn't help but be a little difficult to look at.
Huang Fu Song first set his eyes on the general surnamed Zhang on his side, this person is Huang Fu Song's old subordinate, these years he followed Huang Fu Song all the way to the south and the north to fight without merit and hard work, if he does not take the initiative to stand up, Huang Fu Song is really not good to assign him to provoke this drudgery. Immediately, Huang Fu Song shifted his attention to the two captains, these two people were originally under the command of the general He Jin, and the main purpose of He Jin inserting them in was to prevent Huang Fu Song from taking the military power alone and acting recklessly. At this time, the two of them sat on the seat with their eyes and noses, and they took the right place that Huangfu Song did not dare to disobey He Jin's order and forcibly transferred the two of them.
When Huang Fu Song finally set his eyes on the six captains, although he also did not speak, there was already a trace of anger in his eyes, and more of them were focused on the other four captains. After all, Wu Yi is a young hero recruited by himself from Chen Liu, and Cao Cao is a guest army who has just been sent by Luoyang, and at the same time, Wu Yi and Cao Cao have both shown excellent abilities, and Huangfu Song has a secret heart of cherishing talents, so he naturally will not smash these two hard errands on Cao Cao and Wu Yi. As for the other four lieutenants, who had not shown extraordinary abilities and did not have any complicated backgrounds or relationships behind them, Huangfu Song was naturally ready to choose two from the four of them.
Just when Huangfu Song was about to point the general, Cao Cao beside Wu Yi suddenly stood up at this moment: "General Huangfu, the last general has traveled to Jibei, Jiyin and other places, and the last general is willing to share the worries of the general and lead an army to beg for thieves." ”
"Good! Cao Mengde is really loyal and patriotic, but I don't know who else is willing to lead the army south to aid the right middle general? Although Cao Cao's self-recommendation made Huangfu Song a little surprised, this is a good thing after all, and Huangfu Song has a good impression of Cao Cao.
"Hiss~" Wu Yi suddenly felt that he had a toothache, especially after Cao Cao's self-recommendation attracted Huangfu Song's attention, Wu Yi's back molars hurt even more.
"The last general, Wu Yi, is willing to serve the general." Wu Yi didn't know what Huangfu Song was thinking, but Wu Yi thought about it left and right, and it seemed that Zhu Jun finally captured Nanyang City, where Zhang Mancheng was stationed, so with his own assistance, it should only go more smoothly. Thinking of this, Wu Yi was sure in his heart, so he simply got up and recommended himself like Cao Cao.
