Chapter 352: Analyzing the Military Situation and Fan Chou's Advice
Let's say that the big-nosed Ma Teng is discussing the battle of crossing the river in detail with the bearded Pang De, and the young and handsome Ma Chao, in the big tent of the Chinese army that sends flowers in the breeze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the three of them were talking attentively, they suddenly heard someone outside the big tent say loudly: "Fan has an urgent matter to ask to see the lord, you can quickly go and report to me." ”
"Fan Chou?" Hearing this, Ma Teng turned his head to look outside the tent and asked, "Didn't Ma ask him to lead the army of his headquarters to follow Meng Qi as the pioneer of crossing the river?" He doesn't want to lead his subordinates to make good preparations for crossing the river now, but what is the matter with me here? ”
Pound and Ma Chao glanced at each other when they heard this, but they shook their heads opposite and said that they didn't know, Pang De Nai opened his voice and said: "Why don't you call him in and ask, and you will find out?" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Ma Teng nodded and said loudly outside, "All the guards can get out of the way, and ask General Fan to come in to see me." ”
"Whoa!"
In the high response of the guards outside the tent, Fan Chou immediately walked in with the sound of the wind, Ma Teng saw that the sky was high and the wind was cool at this time, but there were clear beads of sweat on the forehead of Fan Chou's scarred face.
Nai Qisheng asked, "Why is General Fan so sweaty?" ”
"Lord," Fan Chou said anxiously after entering the account, "the last general will think about it carefully after returning, and find that we will never be able to cross this Yellow River!" ”
"Oh?" Ma Teng said in surprise when he heard this, "Why did General Fan say this?" ”
Fan Chou paused slightly when he saw the question, and then slowly said: "The lord should know that the defenders on the other side of the Yellow River are all the elite subordinates of Cheng Gongying. ”
Ma Chao said in a voice: "General Fan, when you and my father rushed to the Yellow River, Ling Ming said that the enemy troops had all been lost at the hands of our army except for the Cheng Gongying Division, so why do you need to mention this matter again?" ”
"Young master," Fan Chou hesitated when he heard the words and saluted Ma Chao, "Chou has to ask you about something, but I am afraid that there will be more offenses, so I ......"
Ma Chao was puzzled when he heard this, but he waved his arm and said loudly to Fan Chou: "Since General Fan has something to ask me for, then you don't have to hesitate, you can talk about it!" ”
"Young Master Xie," Fan Chou said and asked Ma Chao with a bow, "I heard that Young Master once fought with Cheng Gongying's subordinates, I wonder what you think of their combat effectiveness?" ”
"Humph!" Ma Chao sneered coldly when he saw the question, but he didn't hide his tiger face and said, "Cheng Gongying's subordinates are also well-trained, and their military formations are very difficult. ”
Scar-faced Fan Chou, ignoring Ma Chaozhi's displeasure, asked again: "Then, according to your opinion, young master, at present, on the other side of the Yellow River, Cheng Gongying is the commander, and his command is all well-trained and has an army of 15,000 people, is our army sure to defeat the enemy army with one drum?" ”
"Humph!" Ma Chao was furious when he heard this, raised his eyebrows, pointed at Fan Chou, and said, "General Fan, isn't he afraid of death?" ”
Fan Chou was furious when he heard this, and his eyes were so round that his chest bulged, but after a moment, he was deflated and said to Ma Chao: "Young master, although Chou is not talented, he is also a person who has been fighting horses all his life, and he is definitely not a person who is afraid of swords and avoids swords. ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he remembered that this Fan Chou, no matter what, was once a person who was in the imperial capital, and then asked in a slow voice: "Then why do you have such concerns because of the elite of the enemy army?" ”
"That's the case," Fan Chou thought for a moment before he spoke, "Chou is worried that if Cheng Gongying's troops are all elite, and our army has no way to defeat them in one fell swoop after crossing the river, I am afraid that we will miss a major event." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the big-nosed Ma Teng hurriedly straightened his right hand and asked Fan Chou, "What will be a big mistake?" ”
Fan Chou, who had a scar on his face, saw Ma Teng asking, stretched out his hand to wipe the wet sweat beads that hung down in front of his eyes, and saluted Ma Teng with a fist in the cool breeze.
"Why don't you try to think about it, my lord? If our army can't defeat Chenggongying's troops in one fell swoop, then we vow to start a fierce battle with them, and the distance between Yuzhong County and this Zhuanglang ferry is not too far for Han Sui's army with war horses. ”
"Hiss......" Ma Teng's pupils contracted when he heard this, and he thought for a while before he asked Fan Chou, "You mean that Han Sui will personally lead the army to rush to the aid of Cheng Gongying's department?" ”
"Yes, this matter is very likely, but Pang underestimated Han Sui."
Pound, who was offering a plan to cross the river, heard this, and also said in horror in his heart.
But Fan Chou said loudly to Ma Teng again: "If the lord is Han Sui, then when you are beaten to the door of the house, will you ignore Cheng Gongying's troops because you are worried that Hua Fei's army will attack the city?" ”
Ma Teng thought for a moment when he heard this, stretched out his hand and touched his big nose, frowned and shook his head: "If I am Han Sui in the face of such a situation, I will inevitably leave only a few people to defend the city, and lead the army to support Cheng Gongying." ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Because the matter is obvious, it has become a fact that we will attack Cheng Gongying, and whether Hua Fei will attack the city or not is still between the two theories, so it is necessary to save Cheng Gongying first." ”
"In that case," Fan Chou said when he heard this, "then we only have more than 40,000 troops, and Chenggong's headquarters has 15,000 people, and if Han Sui comes to help, his total strength will probably reach 30,000 in a short period of time, and ......"
Ma Teng saw that he stretched out his right hand again and asked urgently, "And what?" ”
Fan Chou lowered his head with his hands in fists and thought for a moment before he said: "And Han Sui is in danger, maybe he will desperately transfer the defenders outside to aid Jincheng." ”
"Hiss......" As soon as Fan Chou's words came out, three gasps sounded in the tent, and Ma Teng, Ma Chao and Pang De realized the original gravity of the matter in an instant.
Because they all know clearly: Han Sui still has more than 20,000 elite soldiers, led by Yang Qiu and Li Kan in Tianshui, if this really forces Han Sui to be in a hurry, will he not use this elite army?
The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, and the rabbit bit when he was in a hurry. If Han Sui transferred another 20,000 people to reinforce Zhuanglang Ferry, then his total strength would reach 50,000 people.
The three of them were thinking about it, and suddenly Fan Chou spoke again: "And don't forget that we are now the attacker, and with Han Sui's ability, he will inevitably use the theory of protecting the family, and make his subordinates work together to resist the strong enemy to protect the homeland, which is a human alliance." ”
"Yes, our army does not have the same good reputation as Hua Fei, everyone knows that he will not rob the people and abuse the prisoners, if Han Sui instigates, the enemy army will unite against us."
Pound was shocked again when he heard this, but he heard Ma Teng ask loudly: "Renhe?" Then the time and place are ...... favorable"
But he was silent after only half of the question, because everyone knew that the defender was fighting on the mainland, and the familiarity with the terrain was definitely not comparable to that of the attacker.
As for the time of day, it is summer when the southeast wind is blowing, and his army is stationed in the northwest, so of course this time belongs to the defender.
Therefore, the four people in the big tent fell into silence when they boarded, only the annoying "hunting" sound made by the southeast wind blowing the flag was still hunting.
After a long time, Ma Teng rubbed his big nose with a sad face and asked Fan Chou: "In this way, our army really can't cross the Yellow River, but is it possible that I have killed so many people and spent so much money and food, but I can't stop there?" ”
Fan Chou turned his head sideways and thought for a moment when he heard this, and then replied with a fist and salute: "Lord, why don't you order a general to leave this army and horses here to settle here, so that you can swallow a large amount of land north of the Yellow River, and ......"
"And how?" Ma Teng, who was distressed about his loss, saw that Fan Chou seemed to have a way to make up for his loss, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask.
Fan Chou smiled and said: "And if my lord can withdraw from the matter, then no matter how Hua Fei and Han Sui toss in the future, won't they all have the time to ask the lord?" ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, rubbed his finger and thumb against Ma Teng and said, "Are you still afraid that you won't have this then?" ”
"Uh......" Seeing this, Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to "ahahaha" and pointed at Fan Chou and laughed.
Ma Teng smiled and thought to himself: "Yes, as long as they come to ask Lao Tzu, can they not have some blood?" Hmm, Fan Chou's idea is good! It's best that Hua Fei will come to beg Lao Tzu first, see that Lao Tzu doesn't knock him hard, and he must be knocked hurt, knocked, knocked all over his body. ”
Ma Teng thought happily and happily, but he didn't know that when he saw that Hua Fei's plan between the two tigers was about to be cracked, a big question mark rose in the hearts of Pang De, who was listening to him. (To be continued.) )
