Chapter 635: Mutation

Liu Xiu took the military report handed by Guo Jia, and a touch of joy flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared again, leaving only a faint anger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 With a bias of his hand, the steaming boiling water flowed out and was accurately injected into the teacup, and a fragrance of tea overflowed, which made Liu Xiujing, who had been busy all night, feel uplifted. Yu turned over and looked at the tumbling tea leaves, and said lightly: "Lu Yi has made such a great contribution, but he doesn't dare to be named. Presumably, he already knew that the general would be unhappy, and he knew that he was wrong. General, this strategy should not hurt the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Liu Xiu snorted helplessly, picked up the teacup, sniffed the teacup, and blew away the floating tea leaves. "You write them a commendation order."

"Whoa." Yu replied. Meng Da next to him immediately packed up his pen and ink and gave way to the right position. Although Yu renovated to come. But Meng Da was very clever, he could see that Yu was talented, and Liu Xiu looked at Yu with a different eye. Although his qualifications are deeper than Yu's, he consciously lowered his posture.

Yu took two sips of tea, sat down in front of the case that Meng Da had conceded, took the pen dipped in ink from Meng Da's hand, and kept waving his hand. Putting down the pen, he nodded with satisfaction first, and then gave Meng Da a look. Meng Da was unhappy, but he took it with both hands with a smile on his face. Carefully brought it to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu glanced at it with slanted eyes while drinking tea, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Yu is so crazy that he naturally has the capital to be crazy, this commendation order is written in a way that makes people's blood boil, and they are also excited, presumably Xia Yu and others will understand his mood at the moment after reading it. Won't do the same thing again.

"Just send it out."

"Whoa." Meng Da immediately arranged for someone to copy and archive it, and sent out the official document as quickly as possible.

Yu turned Shi Ran to get up, returned to Liu Xiu and sat down, lifted the teapot and refilled Liu Xiu with some water, then held the teacup in both hands, and smiled softly: "General, Yuan Shao's back road has been broken, if he doesn't give up, he will definitely attack as quickly as possible, otherwise, he will retreat as quickly as possible, we should be prepared." *”

Liu Xiu looked at Yu Fu silently, of course he knew that there would be these two results. Although Yuan Shao was a little scheming, although he was a little indecisive, he was not a person who was willing to surrender easily. Now that he has been cornered, he doesn't know which plan Yuan Shao will choose, but he has made preparations with both hands, Yuan Shao will advance, then fight him in the Ruyang area, and beat him with the prepared killing weapon to break his head and bleed, if he wants to retreat, then Cao Cāo will intercept his back road, and then catch up with him to close the siege, in a word, he can't decide Yuan Shao's choice, but he is sure that any choice of Yuan Shao will not have any good results.

For this decisive battle, the most likely stage of change has passed, and if Yuan Shao is desperate to go straight to the beginning of the battle, then he really has no good way except to fight Yuan Shao. Now that Yuan Shao has been procrastinating again and again, wasting precious time, and forcing himself to the point of no way out, what else does he have to worry about.

"General, it's far from foolproof." Yu frowned lightly, and reminded bluntly: "General, don't forget, there is still a big city like Hefei behind us that has not been taken, and there are still nearly 30,000 Yuan troops in Guangling, once they enter the battlefield, our encirclement will be easily broken." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment. Yu Fu reminded these two points, he didn't know it, but so far, the 30,000 Yuan troops in Guangling, Hefei, Lu'an and other cities are far away from the battlefield, and the nearest one is also five hundred miles away, and he has also kept enough vigilance for that part of the people, once they have any action, he can react in the shortest possible time, there should be no problems.

However, Yu Xuan's subsequent words made Liu Xiu wake up like a dream: "General, they don't come, what if Yuan Shao goes?" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a long time, then sat up, and said urgently: "Fengxiao, immediately convene the military planning group and analyze the possibility that Zhong Xiang said." ”

Guo Jia also understood, they unnaturally fell into a thinking misunderstanding, that is, Yuan Shao either attacked Pingyu or retreated to Jizhou, and the others may almost non-existent, so they have always maintained a monitoring of the 30,000 Yuan troops in Guangling, and did not take further precautions before they had abnormal behaviors. Now Yu Xuan's words reminded them that what if Yuan Shao neither attacked Pingyu nor retreated to Jizhou, but turned southeast and joined the 30,000 Yuan army? Cao Cāo's main forces have already rushed to Jiyin to block Yuan Shao's back road, Liang Pei is empty, and there is no danger to defend, if Yuan Shao moves eastward, the situation will be reversed.

The military team immediately got busy. Although Liu Xiu didn't get up, he was already a little uneasy, he realized that he had been walking too smoothly recently, and he had inadvertently become an arrogant soldier. The mourning soldiers will win, but the proud soldiers will be defeated.

The military advisory group has not yet given a detailed analysis report, and the latest military report has arrived, and Yuan Shao has withdrawn. The direction of his retreat was Chen Liu.

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yu Xuan: "It seems that Yuan Shao is not as smart as you think." ”

Yu Fan didn't think so, pondered for a while, and shook his head: "General, it's too early to draw conclusions. ”

……

As Guo Jia guessed, Xia Yu only issued a military report after counting the casualty data, and for this reason, he delayed for a day, and this day allowed Yuan Shao to seize an opportunity.

Knowing that 20,000 Hu cavalry had been ambushed by Xia Yu and Cao Cāo, and that the whole army had been routed, Yuan Shao could no longer maintain his demeanor, and he summoned the generals to discuss the matter. Guo Tu, Judge and others were also surprised when they heard this, 20,000 Hu Qi were actually eaten in one bite, what kind of concept is this? Without the help of these Hu cavalry, the remaining Yuan army's combat strength was greatly reduced, and in the face of the encirclement of Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo, they were seriously at a disadvantage in terms of strength and momentum.

Remove! There were almost no objections, and the basic plan was approved by everyone, but on the question of how to withdraw it, everyone disagreed. Guo Tu's suggestion was to withdraw as quickly as possible, trying to defeat Cao Cāo before Liu Xiu could catch up. At present, Yuan Shao still has more than 50,000 troops, although Liu Xiu's troops are slightly smaller, but his strength is strong, and this is the terrain he has chosen, so it is not suitable for a decisive battle with him. In contrast, although Cao Cāo also has about 50,000 and is similar in strength, he still has Tian Feng behind him, and with Tian Feng's response, it may be greater to break Cao Cāo's block. As long as he breaks through Cao Cāo's resistance and joins forces with Tian Feng, Puyang will have at least one foot in Yanzhou by then, and this battle will not be a complete defeat.

But this suggestion was rejected by the review. The judge asked rhetorically, it is only two hundred miles from here to Chen Liu, even if we march in a hurry, we can't pull Liu Xiu down far, we flee in front, Liu Xiu chases behind, who can guarantee morale, who can guarantee that after Chen Liu, there is still physical strength and morale to fight with Cao Cāo, there is a blockade in front, and there is a pursuit in the back, even if it doesn't collapse, it's good, and you still want to defeat Cao Cāo? Once we can't break through quickly, Liu Xiu catches up again, and strikes back and forth, do we still have a way to live?

Guo Tu was speechless. He was annoyed and angry, and asked the interrogatory, so what can you do?

The judge sneered and stroked the short beard under his chin: "Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo are bent on attacking us, how can we let them get their wish?" Cao Cāo rushed to Chenliu from Chen Pei, marched for several miles, and had just experienced a fierce battle, presumably his physical strength had not yet recovered. He wants to work at ease, but we want to survive. The art of war has clouds, avoid the facts, hit its weakness, we don't go to Chenliu, we first pretend to retreat to Chenliu, and then turn east, take the Liang country, Jiyin, although there are more detours, you can also go back to Dongjun. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and suddenly understood the meaning of the trial, he interrupted Guo Tu, who still wanted to argue again, and immediately ordered the camp to be pulled, with the trial and Wen Chou as the front army, and Han Fu and Yan Liang as the rear army, and the army all started and hurried to Chen Liu. After crossing the sand and water near Fugou, he suddenly turned east and drove straight into the Liang country, and before everyone reacted, he had already come to Suiyang City. (To be continued.)
