Chapter 204: General Gao Shun
At all times, the army will always be a violent organization cultivated with victory as its faith; They are thugs, which are based on two different perspectives, or they can be called defending the country, and vice versa they are called demons for the people they are dealing with
Yewang, this is a relatively large city in Hanoi County, second only to Hanoi County, the county capital, Gao Shun judged that Cao Cao was unable to draw out too many military horses, so the Cao army rushing from the direction of Qiguan was all the main force, as long as they were intercepted to ensure the stability of Hanoi and Shangdang, it was enough; In Gao Shun's heart, or in Lu Bu's heart, Hanoi County is just a gateway for them, and Shangdang County is their current foundation that cannot be lost; This is because Hanoi is geographically located and territorial in size; Hanoi County is adjacent to Sili, because it is very close to the former capital Luoyang, the territory under its rule is naturally compressed to the extreme, compared to the average large county, they don't even have one-third of the territory area of others, plus with Cao Cao, a bad neighbor, Lu Bu doesn't want to entangle too much here; Relying on the Yellow River to prevent the Cao army from going north was the best plan, but this time the main force of the Cao army unexpectedly made a detour from the ferry landing in Hongnong County, and the Qiguan garrison was taken in one fell swoop, and many counties in the west were broken by Ma Chao, even the big county town of Ling County was no exception, and Gao Shun was cast a shadow in his heart
There is no need to doubt Gao Shun's ability, this lowly general may be a model of self-education, strict with self-denial, and trusted by his subordinates, otherwise how can he make Lu Bu, who is like a god of war, jealous?
The second poem of Du Fu's "Later Out of the Stopper" in the Tang Dynasty: "By asking who the general is, I am afraid it is Huo Yao." β
As the old saying goes: 'He who can lead the army is also a general"; "Those who can be generals are called handsome." The terms "handsome" and "general" have been used in a long history of war, so they are more customary and popular. Shuai Cai is a level higher than the general, focusing on strategic thinking, and his knowledge and cultivation can raise himself to the realm of space where he should be, so his thinking covers a wide area and has strong penetration.
A general is a person who can control the situation within a certain local scope and can lead his subordinates to perform well or successfully complete the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief, and he focuses on the study of tactics or methods and methods. And the best of them is called - the general!
Gao Shun's weakness is that he doesn't understand politics, so he is not a handsome talent
Gao Shun, who judged Cao Jun's intentions, decisively mobilized heavy troops to guard the front line of Yewang, only waiting for Cao Jun's arrival;
As soon as they were stationed in Ling County, Cao Jun was attacked on a small scale, Gao Shun was announcing his existence, Cao Jun casualties were not large, but a pillar of incense chased them away, but as a military advisor, Li Yu understood that Gao Shun was telling them that his deployment had been completed; Like Gao Shun and other figures, as long as he completes the defense, it is difficult to have loopholes, Li Yu's heart sank to the bottom, Lu Bujun's foundation is not bad, on the contrary, it is still very elite, at this time, in terms of numbers, the competition of mobile cavalry Cao Jun is not advantageous
Head-to-head? This is not Cao Jun's style, only when Cao Jun is forced to choose such tactics, just like the battle of Fengqiu, even the battle of Tongguan Li Yu is also calculated everywhere, not a hard fight, to ensure the survival of every soldier, this is the idea that a superior should have; Well! This Gao Shun! It's so raw!
"Teacher?" , Cao Pi gently pulled Li Yu's sleeve and called in a low voice, he is a smart ghost, a mature ghost, and very empathetic; "Ahh Ha ha! What are you going to do kid again? Li Yu hugged Cao Pi up: "Isn't that what happened?" β
"Teacher! What are you thinking? ", Cao Pi asked with big flickering eyes; Well, we just entered Ling County", Li Yu thought about it for a while and decided to tell Cao Pi about the matter, so that he could learn different things earlier; "Taking advantage of the fact that we were stationed in Ling County, when we were relieved, the military horses sent by Gao Shun attacked
Although we have lost very little, there is a deep meaning in it! What kind of character is Gao Shun, how can he buy such flaws? Why didn't he encircle us without us knowing? β
"Why is that?" Xiao P asked curiously, it was the first time he had heard about this kind of military strategy, and he couldn't help but be happy for a while; "Be serious! You little ghost! Li Yu knocked him on the back of the head: "From now on, I will hand over to you some things about the art of war, and there can be no negligence in this kind of thing!" If you make a slight mistake, you will not only die in the future battlefield, but also affect your comrades! β
Seeing Li Yu's grim face, Cao Pi didn't dare to slack off, and said yes; "Huh! It's good to understand! Li Yu nodded with satisfaction: "In fact, Gao Shun's meaning is nothing more than wanting to surrender without a fight, he announced his existence, of course, he also has strong confidence, it is precisely because we know his strength that we will hesitate!"
Although he doesn't know why we want to help Yuan Shao, it's nothing more than a good word! He wanted to let us know, and then he retreated! That's not all! Yuan Shao, this person hum! He promised us 1.5 million stone grain and grass and 100,000 war horses, and also gave us a down payment of 500,000 stone grain and grass."
"Will Yuan Shao be Laipi?" , Cao Pi asked in a low voice!
"Hmmm! From what I know about him, it will! It's okay to say that 1.5 million stone grain and grass is rich, and he may give it to us, but don't even think about the 100,000 war horses! If he had 100,000 high-grade war horses, he wouldn't have to be afraid of Gongsun Zhan's light cavalry! Besides, he lost all the horse breeding land in Bingzhou, what will he give us? β
"Off topic! Off topic! Li Yu patted his head in annoyance: "Our most important goal is to take Hanoi and Shangdang counties, and the so-called collection of grain and grass is just a matter of covering people's ears!" Can a big living person be suffocated to death by urine? Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, is still in our hands, where can't we get some food? β
Just when Li Yu was gushing about some things for Cao Pi, Cao Ang ran over: "Teacher! Uncle sent me to ask you to discuss the strategy for the invasion! β
"Hmm! Got it! Li Yu walked with Xiao P in his arms like the main tent of the barracks, and Cao Ang looked at Cao Pi complainingly: "Second brother!" You're so old, don't always stick to the teacher, you always have to hold it, the teacher is sick."
No matter how Cao Ang reprimanded Cao Pi, this little guy just refused to get down and go by himself, he didn't even look at Cao Ang when he turned his head, and Cao Ang stomped his feet angrily; "That's it! Zixiu! Little P is already six years old! I won't be able to hold it in a few years! It's a little longer to hug for a while! Li Yu said with a smile; Alasββ! Teacher! You're spoiling him too! Cao Ang sighed helplessly, since Li Yu had spoken, he couldn't do anything; When he turned around again, he saw Cao Pi grimacing at him, and Cao Ang smiled helplessly;
In the first battle of Puyang, most of the generals knew the combat effectiveness of Lu Bu's army, especially Gao Shun's strength, and the military meeting seemed a little depressing, everyone was looking at Li Yu, even the main general Xiahoudun was no exception, this was in the hope that he could plan a strange plan and defeat the enemy; "50,000 or even less than 50,000, against the equally elite 100,000 of the Bingzhou army; Well, we have 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 state troops, how do you think we can't win! Li Yu said with a smile, with a heartless face; Wei Yan whispered: "Ma Chao has disrupted Gao Shun's military defense deployment in the western part of Hanoi County, there may be many remnants of the defeated army and the army that has fled as well as I lead the troops to blend in, as an internal response?" β
"Hmmm! Reasonable! But you may die sooner! Gao Shun is a strict person who governs the army, especially now he is still very calm, patrolling the military camp every day, you know if there is a slight change! Hearing Li Yu say this, Wei Yan shuddered and sat down silently; You guys! You are used to making a plan before the war to fight, but you don't know that this kind of step-by-step thinking will seriously suppress your talent! Why don't you just lead the horse and play on the spot? No matter how bad it is, we still have a place to retreat! As long as we don't go home in a big way, there's always a chance! Li Yu looked around and said loudly; Everyone felt something, and Xiahou stood up: "Then! Tomorrow's Challenge! β
Everyone made a promise, and returned to the headquarters one after another to rectify the military horses, set up camp, patrol and sentry, but Li Yu came to Cao Chun's camp, he wanted to give this excellent young general an inspiration!
"Zihe, have you ever seen Gao Shun's trapped camp?" After sitting down with each other, Li Yu asked with a smile; "Teacher! I've seen it! Cao Chun replied solemnly; So what do you think? "Li Yu;" The army is majestic and neat, the pace is the same, the attack must be conquered, the battle must be won, whether it is the heart of victory or courage, this army is the essence of Lu Bu's army, it is difficult to imagine that a group of less than a thousand elite soldiers, there is such combat effectiveness! From a personal point of view, I admire Gao Shun! However, we are now in hostilities, you live or die", Cao Chun said solemnly; "Our army also lacks this elite soldier who can quickly break the situation at a stalemate moment!" , Li Yu seemed to be an unintentional sentence, but it made Cao Chun's eyes flicker, and he could hear that this was Li Yu teaching him something again; Looking up at Li Yu, Cao Chun: "The infantry army is an infantry army after all, I am better at cavalry warfare, if I form such an army, it will definitely be cavalry, heavy cavalry!" This is the elite soldier in my mind! It's just that the war horses and armor are big problems! β
"Good boy! Just have faith! Wait until after this big war! I'll tell my lord! And I'll surprise you when the time comes! Patting his shoulder, Li Yu walked out, turned around and said, "This time, you take a good look at Gao Shun's trapped camp!" He's going to inspire you a lot! β
