Chapter Eighty-Nine: Plan and Move
Liu Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he asked Chen Gong: "What do you think of the public station?" ”
"I think it's better to be cautious, but I can order 2,000 soldiers to occupy Fuchun City, while the rest are stationed outside the city, and send people to look for the traces of Deng Ai's rebels and see the situation." Chen Gongdao.
Liu Yuan nodded, Chen Gong's strategy was feasible. If it were usual, Liu Yuan would have taken this plan.
But this time, Liu Yuan always felt that since Yuhang sent troops, he seemed to have seen the scenes he had encountered somewhere.
Where have you seen it? It seems to be in a book. Liu Yuan carefully searched for the memories in his mind. In the face of a strong enemy, the suspicious array is set up, leaving an empty city, what kind of bridge is this?
The answer is about to come out, and the fire will burn Xinye! Zhuge Liang set fire to Xinye and defeated Cao Ren's 100,000 army.
The so-called heroes see the same thing, Deng Ai and Zhuge Liang are likely to make similar choices in the face of the city they abandoned.
However, Liu Yuan and Qin Liangyu were not Cao Ren who did not listen to their advice, and did not enter the city hastily.
If the whole army enters the city and the enemy sets fire to it, will it not be a great defeat? Deng Ai's army did leave Fuchun City, but if they left dozens or hundreds of people, disguised as civilians, the spies would not be able to see it for a while. When the time comes, these people set fire together, and it is impossible to prevent it.
When the time comes, the officials, troops, and ordinary people will become a mess and will surely suffer heavy losses. At that time, Deng Aijun intercepted and killed again, and Liu Yuan would definitely be defeated.
Deng Ai, you are so ruthless!
However, the first thing Liu Yuan thinks about now is not the victory or defeat of the army, but his own city and his own people. This fire must not be allowed to ignite! The city was destroyed, and most of the people were killed and wounded, and it was not an overnight thing to rebuild the city.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan said: "Qin Bangping, you take two thousand people, bring utensils, and go to the Fuchun River outside the city to get water." If a fire breaks out in the city, it must be extinguished quickly. Mrs. Zhurong, you take 2,000 soldiers and horses to the city, and if you see suspicious people, arrest them directly, especially those who set fires. ”
The second general was just about to receive the order, and Chen Gong said: "Lord, slow down!" ”
"What is the opinion of the public station?" Liu Yuan said anxiously. Fuyang City was burned, and this loss was too serious. But after all, he was a big boss, and Liu Yuan still did not panic in the face of such a crisis. He knew that the chief strategist's opinion still had to be listened to.
"But do you think the rebels will burn the city on fire?" Knowing that Liu Yuan was in a hurry, Chen Gong didn't wait for Liu Yuan to answer, and continued: "This is indeed a poisonous plan, if I am Deng Ai and decide to burn the city, I will definitely set up an ambush in Fuchun River to prevent our army from taking water to fight the fire." Moreover, Huiji County on the south bank of the Fuchun River was the best choice for Deng Ai to retreat, and he had to cross the river to get there. Therefore, as long as they have not evacuated, they will definitely be ambushed near the Fuchun River at this time. It not only protects the water source, but also makes it easy to escape. ”
Chen Gong was very right in his analysis. Liu Yuan knew that the previous decision was inappropriate. If that happens, Qin Bangping's water intake team will suffer a heavy blow.
"What does the public think it should be?" Liu Yuandao.
Chen Gong said: "If Deng Ai really plans to attack with fire, then he must have arranged everything in the city, and it is very difficult to stop it now." It's better for us to bypass the city, go straight to the Fuchun River, and fight with Deng Ai. ”
Fuchun City was already under Deng Ai's control, he wanted to burn the city, who could stop it? If it weren't for the purpose of luring Liu Yuan to take the bait, it might have burned a long time ago.
Liu Yuan also knew that Chen Gong's analysis was correct. Strategically speaking, if you want to save Fuchun City now, you have to pay a great price, and it is still difficult to succeed. It is better to give up the city for the time being and defeat Deng Ai with all his might, which can be regarded as revenge.
But under his rule, Fuchun City has long been regarded as his property by Liu Yuan. Now that you have guessed Deng Ai's actions, you must find a way to stop them. Otherwise, this time against Deng Ai, it would have been declared a failure.
The rebels occupied your city, and when you went to encircle and suppress it, they set fire to it, and after fighting with you for a while, they swaggered away.
The kidnappers kidnapped your woman, and when you went to fight hard, they ravaged your woman, fought with you for a while, and then swaggered away.
Nest no? Angry?
There is even more infuriation!
Now the opponent has made it clear that the woman who will not abuse you first, lure you into the bait, beat you, and then abuse your woman before leaving.
If this happens, it will be a shadow for Liu Yuan's life.
Chen Gong's previous suggestion was: Anyway, women can't escape the fate of being ravaged, so it's better to ignore her first and beat the kidnappers hard, so that he knows that his women are not easy to bully.
However, women are still ravaged, both physically and mentally, and it takes a long time to recover.
Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Yuan to accept Chen Gong's suggestion this time.
"Gongtai, I'll put my words here, Fuchun City must be kept, no matter the cost. You have a way. Liu Yuan's attitude was firm.
Chen Gong was a little speechless, and said in his heart that he was not sure that Deng Ai must attack with fire, so he resolutely put out the fire. For the sake of a guess, it took all his strength to weaken the combat power of the troops. No matter who led the troops, they did not fight like this.
But Liu Yuan is an outlier, as a modern person, in some places, the thinking is different from that of the ancients.
The lord had given the order, and Chen Gong naturally couldn't shirk it, and after thinking for a while, he said, "There is no perfect solution. Deng Ai takes the initiative, and we are passive defense. My strategy can only be tried, it can't guarantee that Fuchun County is foolproof, and it will disperse the troops, does the lord want to try? Chen Gong said.
"Please speak. You're my number one brainstorm, and I'm sure I believe you at this time! Liu Yuandao.
"The strategy is simple. According to what the lord said before, send a team of men and horses into the city, strictly investigate suspicious people, and evacuate the masses. The others advanced at full speed towards the Fuchun River, some of them took water, and the rest protected. The number of people to protect must be at least more than 5,000, and there must be a few strong generals, so that they can fight with Deng Ai. Chen Gong said.
"Okay, just according to the public station." Liu Yuandao.
"I suggest that the people who enter Fuchun County can wait for a quarter of an hour. The rebels set us an empty city just to lure us in, and if we didn't enter the city, they wouldn't set fire to it for a while. In this way, the fire brigade can be given more time. Chen Gong added.
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Qin Bangping, I order you to bring a thousand soldiers and enter Fuchun County with me." ”
Qin Bangping took the order.
"The rest of the people went to Fuchun River with Liangyu. Sanniang, you go too, if you can increase your combat power, you will have a better chance of winning. Liu Yuandao.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going with you." Hu Sanniang said.
"This is a military order, not a child's play!" Liu Yuan glared at Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang also looked at Liu Yuan and remained silent.
The generals were stunned.
