Guo Jia's point of view is almost what Liu Zhi thinks in his heart at this time, his current strength is not strong, and his reputation is not big, far inferior to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others, and Runan is the land of four wars, there is Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the south, there is a strong Yuan Shao army in the north, there is a strong Xiliang army in the west, and there is Cao Cao, a hero who is slowly rising in the east. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It can be said that if the Runan army defeated the Xiliang army in the battle of Yingchuan, it will not only greatly expand their influence in the world, but also enhance their weight in the heart of the little emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi said to everyone: "Okay, you don't have to argue, I have made up my mind, we must stand with the hundreds of thousands of people in Yingchuan in this battle and fight against the brutal Xiliang Army together." ”

Now that Liu Zhidu had already said so, there was no point in arguing about what should be fought or not, so everyone began to offer suggestions and began to discuss how this battle should be fought.

Cheng Yu said that Lao Cheng was serious and advocated steady and steady: "My lord, our army does not have an advantage in terms of strength in this battle, and the terrain of Yingchuan is flat, suitable for cavalry combat, so we must not fight with the other party, I think we should stick to Yangcheng and Yangzhai, relying on Yingshui as a barrier to resist the attack of the Xiliang army, the Xiliang army is mostly cavalry, plus General Xu has attacked their grain and grass logistics troops before, so that their grain and grass materials are definitely not abundant, and there is nothing to supplement in Luoyang, they can only be obtained through looting, Therefore, as long as we hold them back for about ten days, they will surely lead their troops back on their own. ”

Liu Zhi nodded, Cheng Yu said that this method is indeed an extremely safe method, in the previous defensive battle of Zhongmu County, the weakness of the Xiliang army that is not good at attacking the city has been exposed, and compared to Zhongmu, Yangcheng and Yangzhai are backed by Yingshui, the pressure of defense will be reduced a lot, and even if you can't hold on, you can easily withdraw from the waterway, and the armies of the two places can gather in Yingyang, and the defenders of Yingyin can be horns of each other, making it difficult for the offensive of the Xiliang army to be launched.

However, although this approach is safe, the Xiliang army can besiege without attacking, but instead plundering the people everywhere, they do not have a strong cavalry force, it is difficult to stop the Xiliang army.

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Liu Zhi hadn't spoken yet, and Xu Chu hurriedly said: "No, never!" ”

Everyone was very curious, and did not know what he was talking about, so they all looked at him and wanted to hear his explanation.

Xu Chu saw that everyone was looking at him, and he didn't care at all, and said: "Although Cheng Junshi's strategy is good, but in this way, isn't our strength dispersed into many parts, you see, Yangcheng, Yangzhai, Yingyin, Yingyang, there are four places, even if we put more than 3,000 people in each place, wouldn't it be broken by the Xiliang army, they are enough 30,000 people, and in the previous battle against Zhongmu, although their initial offensive was not smooth, But the next day it wasn't easy to break the city, and in my opinion, instead of lying at home and waiting to be beaten, it was better to take the initiative and kill the damn! ”

Xu Chu's words are not rough, and everyone understands what he means.

Liu Zhi saw that he seemed to be unsatisfied, and he looked like he still had something to say, so he asked: "Then according to your meaning, how do you think we should fight this battle?" ”

Xu Chu glanced at Chen Gong and replied: "When I was with Mr. Chen before, he emphasized that the cavalry must be flexible when dealing with cavalry, and it is true that there are many soldiers in Xiliang, but as soon as there are many people, their flexibility is reduced, far inferior to our cavalry with fewer people, so I think Mr. Chen must still have a way." ”

As soon as Xu Chu said this, Chen Gong instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Chen Gong didn't plan to give his words and suggestions, and he didn't even want to attend this meeting, but because Liu Zhi made an invitation, he couldn't refuse, so he had to come over and prepare to observe.

But since Xu Chu said so at this time, it seems that it is unlikely that he will not stand up.

"Oh? Since Mr. Chen still has such a unique understanding, I still have to ask Mr. Chen to explain a thing or two for us. ”

Liu Zhi glanced at Xu Chu approvingly, and expressed his appreciation for his behavior of "pulling Chen Gong into the water".

Chen Gong stood up, saluted Liu Zhi who was sitting in the first seat, and then gestured to the others present, and only after doing this did he speak: "Sun Tzu has a saying: know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you want to fight with the Xiliang Army, it is necessary to figure out the details of the Xiliang Army, so that we can understand our opponents, and we will not be ignorant, so that we can fight with them, and we can get a more reasonable response according to their specific situation." ”

Chen Gong's words made everyone nod frequently after listening to it, everyone understands this truth, but no one has brought it up before, this is not their negligence, among the two strategists, Cheng Yu's research on the Xiliang Army is not profound, so he did not mention this matter, and Guo Jia has only traveled to the moving side, and has not been to the West, and the rise of the Xiliang Army has not been long, so he doesn't know much.

As for the generals such as Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and even Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao present, they may not have thought of this at all.

Chen Gong continued: "Although the Xiliang Army claims to be 30,000 people, but in fact the number of troops that can fight is less than 30,000, which must remove a part of the logistics troops, you may know that the cavalry actually needs to bring a lot of horsemen when marching and fighting, the horsemen here not only refer to the people who serve the war horses, but also the people who serve the soldiers, you may not know much, there are several kinds of cavalry in the Xiliang Army, there are light cavalry responsible for patrolling, there are heavy cavalry responsible for charging into battle, no matter what kind of cavalry, Their war horses are one person with two horses, but in the cavalry unit did not see so many empty horses, this is mainly on horseback sitting grooms, their dress is no different from ordinary cavalry, but they do not have the combat ability of ordinary cavalry, the main job is to manage and feed the war horses, in wartime responsible for helping combat troops bear heavy armor and weapons, to help them reduce the consumption of horsepower, in the 30,000 Xiliang army, such troops are more than 3,000 people, plus the troops responsible for escorting grain and grass, The Xiliang army that we actually need to consider is only about twenty-five thousand people. ”
