Liu Xiu rested overnight in Bo County, and continued to march the next day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Along the way, scouts flew back and forth, constantly passing on the latest battle reports of Jishui. The military conspiracy group led by Meng Da was not idle even in the marching map, and made corrections to the deduction sand table in time according to the latest intelligence, so that Liu Xiu could make a judgment on the battlefield as a whole during the march.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the scouts are still human after all, and they can't be clear about all the situations. When the two sides are in a big war, they can only watch from a distance, according to the flags and golden drums of both sides to roughly guess and evaluate the victory or defeat of the two sides, to really do the details is unrealistic luxury, even in the 21st century of science and technology, with all kinds of powerful technology as the backing, it is impossible to do this.

Therefore, even if the military conspiracy group made its best efforts, Liu Xiu still got a result with a lot of uncertain information, there were various possibilities in it, and even false information, which needed to be judged by Liu Xiu before making a final decision. The role of the military planning group is that he will not fall into a person's thinking mistakes, will not make very low-level misjudgments, and the probability of making mistakes is lower than that of other generals who rely on their personal minds.

"General, Cao Cāo is suspected of slacking off the war." Meng Da presented the latest analysis results in front of Liu Xiu with both hands, and said straight to the point: "Yesterday he advanced thirty steps, and today at the end of the day, not only did he not advance an inch, but he took fifty steps back. Two-thirds of Yuan Shao's army had already crossed Jishui, and if this continued fighting, we estimate that Cao Cāo's position might be breached tomorrow. ”

Liu Xiu took it and read it, the results of this analysis were written very succinctly, and a hand-drawn map was attached, on which the locations of both sides were marked, which was clear at a glance.

"yes, I see." Liu Xiu praised: "Continue to keep watching." Don't be too tired, you and the Zijia (Yan Pu) take shifts, pay attention to rest. ”

"Whoa." Meng Da retreated.

"Come and see." Liu Xiu beckoned. Called Yu Flip and Guo Jia to him, picked up a glass of water by himself, and sipped slowly. Yu Tuo and Guo Jia quickly finished reading the analysis results, and there were no surprised expressions. They've been following up on these things. Be mentally prepared for possible situations on both sides.

Guo Jia and Yu Fan exchanged a look, and first spoke: "Cao Cāo has the possibility of slacking off, but I think it's not time yet." He should have another motive in doing so. ”

Liu Xiu looked at him and motioned for him to continue. Guo Jia cleared his throat and had been talking non-stop for the past two days. His throat was a little inflamed, and his voice was rustling, less crisp than a young man, and more calm.

"First of all, Cao Cāo needs this credit, he can't let Yuan Shao go so easily. Secondly, with his strength, he will never be unable to hold out for a day. So. I think he might have done it on purpose, or he wanted to take a step back and avoid pushing too hard. So that the casualties are too large, or he has other means. ”

"What can he do?" Liu Xiu muttered: "The two armies are facing each other, evenly matched, at this time, what is fighting is strength, and there may not be a place to use tricks and tricks." Besides, although Yuan Shao is a little slower and a little hesitant, he is not a novice who doesn't know anything about soldiers, and if Cao Cāo wants to play tricks with him, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

"Yuan Shao is an elephant. Cao cāo is a mouse. Rats and elephants play against each other, and surprise soldiers are entirely possible. Yu flipped through the analysis results of the military plot and pointed to one of them. Liu Xiu glanced at it, and his heart moved: "Flood? ”

"Hmm. Cao Cāo is a local, and he can't be unfamiliar with the climate. Although Yuan Shao is a native of Runan, he has spent most of his life in Luoyang since he was a child. I am afraid that the situation in Yanzhou will not be as familiar as Yuan Shao. The judges and others are all from Hebei, and they may not know the climate here. Once it rains heavily and the flood peak comes, Yuan Shao's pontoon bridge will be washed away, and his army will be cut in two by the flood. In this case, Cao Cāo only had to deal with the Yuan army, which had already crossed the Jishui, and he would have an advantage in troops, and if the Yuan army was not prepared, it would be swept away by the flood, and it might even collapse without a fight. As for the Yuan army on the south bank of Jishui, it is logical that we will deal with it. ”

Liu Xiu blinked, looked at Guo Jia again, and Guo Jia also nodded: "I agree with Zhong Xiang's guess." Cao Cāo took fifty steps back, perhaps trying to lead Yuan's army into the low-lying terrain while he occupied the high ground. It's just that we don't know the topography of the site now, and we can't be sure if Cao Cāo is this idea. But in any case, as long as there are no unexpected circumstances, Cao Cāo will hold on for another one or two days, and it will be no problem to force Yuan Shao to run out of food. ”

Guo Jia paused for a while, took out a pill from his arms and threw it into his mouth, and after holding it for a while, his hoarse voice became clearer. "However, just in case, I suggest that I move forward another twenty miles and force Yuan Shao to send as many troops as possible to the north bank."

Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, and Yu Fu also laughed. Guo Jia's suggestion seemed to be of little use, the army was still thirty miles away from Yuan Shao, and twenty miles forward, almost hearing about Yuan Shao's golden drums. Yuan Shao has become a frightened bird, and when he sees him approaching, he will definitely try his best to cross the river. The more people who crossed the river, the greater the pressure on Cao Cāo, and the less Yuan army he would have to deal with in the future. If there was a flood, the losses suffered by Yuan's army would be greater.

Just move the position of the army, you can have an impact on the battlefield that cannot be underestimated, Guo Jia, who is good at using strange soldiers, has changed his style since Yu turned over, and the overall thinking has gradually prevailed, and he is no longer keen on taking risks. In the same way, Yu Fu, who used to focus too much on holistic thinking and not pay enough attention to the details, has also been sublimated and fully displayed under the influence of Guo Jia.

His Yili is no longer a big and empty metaphysics, but is gradually applied to concrete practice.

"Let the person in charge of Fengjiao pay attention, and then ask some local elders to see how likely it is to rain heavily and there will be flooding. In addition, they sent someone to inform Zhu Jun and Zang Min, and asked them to be careful when they chose to camp and pull, so as not to be caught off guard and messed up. ”

Guo Jia agreed one by one and turned around to make arrangements. Fengjiao belongs to the soldier yin yang in the art of war, and he is a person in the army who is responsible for observing the stars, weather, etc., which is equivalent to a weather observer. In the past, most of these people were some warlocks, who liked to use what yin yang and easy to reason to talk about things at every turn, and they said it amazingly, but the accumulation of meteorological aspects that really worked was relatively weak, and the accumulation was not enough. Ordinary generals know that generals need to understand astronomy and geography, but in fact, many people's understanding of astronomy and geography is more mysterious and not so objective. When Duan Cheng was a general, the master Fan Zhizhang beside him was such a warlock, he discovered the weak point of the Qiang people's formation, but said that it was obtained by observing the sky at night, and Duan Cheng actually believed it. This is not the case for real warriors, not to mention those generals from Confucianism, and the originally practical atmosphere can easily turn into all kinds of mysterious signs, but lose its original meaning.

Liu Xiu was originally very dismissive of Bing Yinyang, but then he gradually realized that Bing Yinyang also contained quite important and practical knowledge, so he began to pay attention to Bing Yinyang, but he didn't like to use those warlocks who liked metaphysics, and he usually found those local experienced old people to be responsible for this kind of affairs. Those old people may not be literate, but they have lived so many years that they know the local climate much more accurately than the warlocks who stare at ancient books every day.

……

Cao Cāo stood on a dirt slope, looked at the large camp that had been re-established, and then looked at the Yuan army that was constantly crossing Jishui from the south bank, raised his head, looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, and asked worriedly, "Gongren, are you sure it will rain soon?" ”

"General, I'm eighty percent sure that there will definitely be a rain either tonight or tomorrow morning. As for how heavy the rain will be and whether it will cause flooding, I'm not sure. Dong Zhao wiped the sweat on the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, "However, Yuan Shao's pontoon bridge can't be saved, so there should be no problem." ”

Cao cāo laughed twice and did not speak again. He always wanted to destroy the pontoon bridges, but Yuan Shao was not a fool, and he looked at these pontoon bridges more than his eyes, and Cao Cāo launched two attacks in succession without success, losing more than 30 dead soldiers in vain. The first time, Cao Cāo sent people to pour oil on rafts made of reeds and go down the river to prepare for the burning bridge, but Yuan Shao sent people to block the water with a large iron cable, and then used a long iron hook to hook all the hundreds of rafts ashore, and used them as firewood for cooking that night. The second time, Cao Cāo sent more than 30 dead soldiers to dive down, seeing that he was about to approach the pontoon bridge, but I don't know why, Yuan Jun on the shore suddenly ran out, a burst of random arrows, the dead soldiers in the water shè wounded, and later Cao Cāo knew that the trial sent people to place barbed wire above the pontoon bridge, the barbed wire was connected to the rope on the shore, and the rope was tied to the bell block, as soon as there was a big movement, the trial sent people shè arrows, once they found someone below, it was even more rather kill the wrong one, not let go, None of the more than 30 dead soldiers sent out by Cao Cāo survived.

Just when Cao Cāo was anxious about the increasing casualties, Dong Zhao made a suggestion. Dong Zhao said that judging from the weather in the past two days, it is very likely that there will be heavy rains in the near future, and both sides of the Jishui River may be hit by floods. In order to avoid damage, you should retreat to higher ground first. Dong Zhao was a native of Jiyin Dingtao, who grew up here and knew the terrain and climate of the place no better, so Cao Cāo was convinced and immediately followed his plan.

Everything is ready, now it's up to Providence. If Dong Zhao's prediction comes true, then Cao Cāo will pick up a big bargain. The question is whether the rain can fall in time, if it is too late, then Cao Cāo will also have a bloody battle with Yuan Shao, and one more day of bloody battle, he will lose one more point.

Looking at the cloudless sky, Cao Cāo was anxious and longed for the rain to pour down now. The rain hasn't seen a drop yet, but the fire in Cao Cāo's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he urgently needs a timely rain to water it......
