Just as Yuan Shao was celebrating his victory in advance, Liu Xiu was also nervously paying attention to the results of Pingyu City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He knew why Yuan Shao took the risk of stopping and not leaving, and he also hoped that Yuan Shao could stop, and the longer he stopped, the more favorable the situation would be for him. However, although he was prepared, he was still worried about the war in Pingyu, after all, Xu You was able to integrate the 30,000 scattered Yuan army and bring it to the main battlefield, which was a thing that he did not expect.

On the battlefield, no matter how good your intelligence work is, you can't completely control your opponent's every move, otherwise you won't have to fight this battle. Accidents are inevitable, and the key lies in whether the preparation in the early stage is sufficient, whether there is enough backhand, and whether the most timely and accurate response can be made when an accident occurs.

Xiao Tianzi's plan, he agreed, there was an attack and a defense, there was an advance and a retreat, even if he was defeated, he could retreat to Dingying and Yancheng. As long as they wait a few months, they can make a comeback, and the biggest loss is only a defeat, a little disgraced, and a disgraceful face.

That's all.

But Liu Xiu still hopes that the three thousand people sent by Xiao Tianzi can thwart Xu Yu's sharp spirit, as long as the first battle is successful, even if he is defeated in the end, he can also win a few days, and with these few days, he can do more satisfactorily.

"Zhong Xiang, Bu Yihexagram?" Liu Xiu said to Yu Xuan with a smile.

Yu put down the pen, looked around, and saw that Guo Jia, Meng Da and others had also put down the things in their hands, and were looking at him with blazing eyes, Liu He even jumped over with his skirt and poured him a cup of tea. Holding it with both hands, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong Xiang, you can use your magic calculation." It also opens our eyes. ”

Yu took the cup, held it in the palm of his hand, and winked at Liu He: "Master Weng." In fact, this doesn't need to be counted, Your Majesty, Xu Rong, Lu Min, which one is a reckless person? Since they dared to send 3,000 men to meet the 30,000 army, they naturally had their plans. This battle, defeated, is not a shame, a draw is a victory. ”

Liu He nodded again and again: "Well, I know this truth." However, 3,000 people vs. 30,000 people, after all, is still too disparity. ”

"Yes, if it is purely in terms of troops, there is indeed a disparity." Yu chuckled and turned his head to look at Liu Xiu: "But since the general does not object to their decision, it means that he is sure." Under normal circumstances, at least not fiasco. General, don't you say? ”

Liu Xiu smiled silently, "Marching and fighting, how can there be such a thing as a victory ticket." It's just as good as possible not to make mistakes. ”

"The general has a point." Yu turned and said: "Lord Weng, you look at him again." Yu flipped his finger and pointed at Guo Jia, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook his head, pointed at Yu Fu, smiled and said nothing. If this person is not in a hurry, it means that he is at least fifty or sixty percent sure of this matter, and if he is not sure at all, even if the general agrees, he will not agree. You have to ask, go and ask him. Divination is the last skill of Yi Dao, and there is no need for the owner to take the time to learn. ”

Liu He turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and then at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu beckoned, and Liu He walked over obediently and stuck out his tongue.

"Girl, remember, what Zhong Xiang just said is the real Yi Dao. There are three things that are easy to say, simple, easy and easy. It is necessary to think big, start small, and look beyond the meaning. For example, marching and fighting, in fact, is very simple, it is two groups of people fighting, but the number of people is a little larger, which is called simple. However, for thousands of years, no two wars are exactly the same, whether it is tactics or technology, they are constantly changing, Sun Tzu's time, to the Warring States has been very different, to this day, it is even more unrecognizable, and it will continue to change in the future, this is called Hengyi. However, no matter how he changes, the war is still a contest of comprehensive strength between the two sides, and the comparison is still more than who's people, whose food is sufficient, whose soldiers are strong, and whose generals are wise, these factors are all similar, and this is not easy. Zhong Xiang, is my analogy appropriate? ”

Yu Fan nodded again and again: "The general is right, although you don't know the scriptures, but you have a very accurate understanding of the real subtle words." Under your teaching, the future achievements will be unprecedented. Because it is difficult for others to have such opportunities as her, especially a father like the general who regards his daughter as more important than his son, it is rare in ancient and modern times. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu laughed, pointed at Zhong Xiang and said, "Zhong Xiang, this is not like what you said." ”

The crowd laughed.

……

Fanyang Pavilion, Xu Rong sat quietly on a mound that served as a command platform, his eyes drooping slightly, like an old monk in a fixed place. His township party and personal guard led Gongsun Du to lead his war horse in one hand and a spear in the other, and stood aside.

The three thousand troops were silent, facing the 10,000 Yuan army front troops lined up on the opposite side, they were calm, they could neither see tension nor arrogance, and all they could see from their eyes was calm. Only a true soldier of a hundred battles can maintain such calm before the war. They can see through life and death, so that they can calmly face all possible outcomes.

Of these 3,000 people, 1,000 were Xu Rong's personal guard battalions, which were allocated by Liu Xiu from his own personal guard battalion in order to support Xu Rong, the foot soldiers were selected from the Hushi battalion led by Xu Chu, and the cavalry were selected from the personal guard cavalry led by Zhang Fei.

Of the other 2,000 men, 1,000 were Huang Zhong's subordinates, including both his old subordinates and later recruits. Huang Zhong has not debuted for a long time, but he has been promoted very quickly, and his achievements are outstanding, of course, the old troops under his command are needless to say, and even those recruits have been trained by him to be extremely tenacious, and it is the first time to participate in such an important battle, but he can maintain no mistakes.

There were also more than a thousand people, eight hundred crossbowmen selected from the army, and two hundred cāo gunners, who hid in the formation, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Because of the lack of troops, Xu Rong leaned on the water array, and to the north was a small river twenty steps wide, called Rongshui, and the arrows could come over, but it was not easy for people and horses to come over. Huang Zhong led his troops to line up in the south, and between Huang Zhong and Xiaohe were the 800 crossbowmen and 200 cāo gunners. Xu Rong's personal guard battalion was right behind him.

After hearing the news that Xu You led his troops to help, Xiao Tianzi made tactical arrangements, and Xu Rong fought hard. Won this first chance to fight. He has always been regarded as Liu Xiu's cronies, many people, especially some old friends in Liangzhou. all felt that he was so fast because of Liu Xiu's township party. Liu Xiu's importance to him is undoubted, as can be seen from the fact that Liu Xiu allocated him a thousand personal guards to ride on foot. But many people don't understand one thing, the reason why Liu Xiu values Xu Rong so much. It's not just because Xu Rong is from Youzhou, otherwise, Zhang Fei is more suitable than Xu Rong.

What Liu Xiu values is Xu Rong as a person, but by chance, Xu Rong has never had the opportunity to prove himself. However, Xu Rong took the initiative to come here to face Xu Yu today, but he didn't want to prove himself, he just felt that he should come. So here he came.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! The war drums sounded, Gongsun Du looked closely, saw the flag dancing on the opposite side, people shouting horses neighing, his eyes couldn't help but twitch, he glanced at Xu Rong, but saw that Xu Rong was not moving like a mountain. I didn't even tremble my eyelids, and I couldn't help but lick my lips secretly, and my heart was a lot more settled.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! The sound of the war drums was unhurried, but it seemed that every node was beating in people's hearts, making the soldiers begin to heat up. Huang Zhong on the right has his hands behind his back. pacing back and forth in front of the formation, glancing at Yuan Jun in the distance from time to time, his expression was so relaxed that he was almost excited. The hand behind his back pinched and released from time to time, as if he was preparing for the war. There was a hint of a smile on his lips, and he didn't know what he thought of that made him happy.

"My lord, the enemy looks like they're attacking." A young Wu elder named Wei Yan reminded loudly. As soon as his words came out, the soldiers next to him laughed softly, as if they were laughing at Wei Yan's words as nonsense. Is the enemy going to attack, don't you know, and you still need a small commander like you to remind you?

Huang Zhong stopped, glanced at Wei Yan, slowly walked in front of Wei Yan, reached out to untie the crooked helmet under his chin, tied it again, patted his shoulders again, and laughed softly: "Wen Chang, are you nervous?" ”

Wei Yan smiled embarrassedly: "A little." ”

"It's okay, everyone will be a little nervous when they go into battle." Huang Zhong looked around, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "However, after this battle, you will find that fighting is not terrible at all, and maybe you will like to fight." ”

"Hee-hee, my lord, you are really a good soldier." Wei Yan chuckled softly.

"What Song Zhongzi said?" Huang Zhong pursed his lips and snorted disdainfully. Song Zhongzi is a Confucian in Jingzhou, Liu Biao often studied scriptures with Liu Biao when he was there, after the establishment of Xiangyang College, he entered Xiangyang College as a lecturer of the Five Classics, and received a thousand stone of Yulu every year, and every month he had to go to the Taishou Mansion to teach a lesson to the Nanjun Taishou, this son lived a nourishing life, and his temper also rose, and even began to criticize Liu Xiu, saying that he was a poor soldier and not a saint. Even Liu Xiu criticized, and of course generals like Huang Zhong were not in their eyes. Wei Yan is a graduate of the Military Academy, and after listening to Song Zhongzi's lectures, it is normal to know this.

"Hmm."

"They have the right to speak, but we don't need to look at his face." Huang Zhong squeezed his eyes: "You are not a student of the academy now, you are a soldier in the army, what you want to listen to is the military order." Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Wei Yan puffed up his chest and answered loudly.

"I know you have a good foundation, excellent grades, and you have completed the course that ordinary people need to learn for three years in half a year, but the battlefield is not a place for personal heroes, if you want to be a good general, you must not only have good skills, but also good brains." Huang Zhong pointed to his temple: "Put aside all those inappropriate preaching, think more about how to kill the enemy and protect yourself." ”

"Whoa." Wei Yan nodded vigorously.

Huang Zhong gestured with a satisfied jaw, turned around and continued to walk away. Wei Yan looked at his back with admiration, and his gaze finally fell on the two combat knives on Huang Zhong's waist. Huang Zhong's subordinates all knew that Huang Zhong had two war knives, one was his own red crow, which sharpened iron like clay. The other, even more precious, was the saber given to him by the hussar general himself, in place of the red crow, which was sharp but too aggressive and might be a hindrance to the lord. Huang Zhong cherished this knife very much, and specially ordered someone to engrave an inscription on the knife: Taiping. Because Liu Xiu said to him, it is the responsibility of the generals to protect the peace of the world, not to destroy the peace of the world.

However, for more soldiers like soldiers, especially graduates like Wei Yan who have received military academy education, it is the highest honor to be able to get Liu Xiu's gift of a knife. Wei Yan longed that one day he could be like Huang Zhong, walking around the battlefield with the sword given by the hussar general. He looked at Yuan Jun who was assembling in the distance, his eyes were warm.
