Chapter 237: The "Poisonous" Meeting
This war is not so much a fight between two armies, but a contest between two scheming strategists, in contrast, Jia Xu has more experience in struggle, is unique in grasping the psychology of "people", and is very bold, daring to use tactics that others dare not use; Li Yu actually has no other advantages, just with a "golden finger", his own personality is even more changeable, say he is cautious, he is bold to death, say that he is bold! He spared his life now; In terms of generals, the strength is almost the same, the Cao army has Cao Ren, the Jingzhou reinforcements have Cai Mao, the Cao army has Ma Chao, Wancheng has Zhang Xiu, the Cao army has Yu Ban, Jingzhou has Deng Ji, Jingzhou, Wancheng coalition army has a total of 70,000 troops, and the Cao army has a total of 60,000 people; It's just that Cao's army is more elite, and the two sides are almost the same in terms of combat effectiveness; The only difference in strength is that the military horses from Jingzhou do not directly belong to Wancheng, which means that it will cause inconvenience in coordinated operations; However, Cao Jun directly obeyed Li Yu's command, which can be described as a monolith; When the two sides have their own advantages and advantages in various competitions, and there is little difference in the overall situation, strategy and tactics are the key to determining the outcome of the battle, that is, the battle between Li Yu and Jia Xu is the most important; After learning that Li Yu's soldiers were out of Wancheng, Jia Xu cooperated with Zhang Xiu's soldiers to leave Wancheng and stationed troops on the banks of the Weishui River, with unknown intentions, but they must have a plan; "Sentinel Detective! Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu annexed Weishui", Li Yu held the military newspaper in his hand, and he was a little uncertain, what do you mean? Keeping the enemy out of the country? Jia Xu, the old fox, is his important opponent, and the most terrible enemy he has faced so far, and he will not make rash moves; Open the small window of the carriage and breathe in the fresh air, the weather in May has become warmer, except for the coolness brought by a leisurely breeze, there is no cold, refreshing, Li Yu: "Cao Ren!" Come here! Look! I know this Jia Xu very well, he is not a simple person, he must be cautious! ”
"The troops are stationed on the bank of the Weishui River, so they must want to fight in the distant river! What's so strange about this? Mr! Do you know that Jia Xu very well? Fought him? Is he really that powerful? After reading the report, Cao Ren asked with interest; Terrible? It's more than that! Let's put it this way! I don't know the bottom of my heart! Even if the power in his hands is about the same as ours! Don't understand! For example, if you fight him alone this time, it is estimated that you will lose without even your pants! ”
"You don't look down on people so much, do you?" , Cao Ren complained weakly, he, the problem baby two years ago, is now rapidly absorbing everything that can be used for him after leading the army alone, and has grown up quickly, but he has not really reached the best state of stability, and he is still a little "playful"?
"Huh! Just kidding! As the saying goes, despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically! In this way, we are so so", sadness cannot always be hung in the heart, otherwise that person will not be able to live, he has also figured it out, who can really protect himself in the troubled times?
The crockpot will inevitably be broken, and the general will inevitably die in battle, since it is a thing of the past, let's go over! It took Li Yu a few days to gradually get rid of his sadness and began to be optimistic, of course, the real optimism is still after Zhang Xiu is destroyed!
Deng Ji is one of the few generals in Jingzhou who has survived by virtue of his qualifications and military exploits, not by relying on his family to support the upper ranks; It was also the first general who joined him in Jingzhou when Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone, he was about fifty years old, his hair was white, and he was a little thin, not a majestic character, very inconspicuous; This time with Zhang Xiu joint operation, Deng Ji was ordered to lead his troops into Huyang was also personally appointed by Liu Biao, it can be seen that Liu Biao valued him Deng Ji led the army into Huyang immediately after camping, building fortifications, sentinels frequently dispatched to investigate, everything was in order; Now Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are relatively okay, because Liu Biao has a lot of friction with his former evil neighbor Sun Jian and the current Yuan Shu, of course, the army can't be like a scarecrow! But on the fifth day of stationing in Huyang, Deng Ji suddenly had a warning call in his heart, which seemed to indicate that something was going to happen; As soon as he thought about it, a soldier came to report, and Zhang Xiu sent someone to contact him, and he also brought 500 cavalry; Of course, Deng Ji couldn't easily believe it, this kind of thing still had to be vigilant, and immediately went with a shawl and armor, armed with a knife and gun; "Who's outside the door? Get your name in! On the upper floor of the city gate, Deng Ji shouted; The person who came was a young general, with red lips and white teeth, a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, if he changed into a sassy outfit, he would be even more handsome, this young general in black armor smiled: "I am Wuwei Zhang Yao!" It's the brother of Xuanwu Hou! ”
The Marquis of Xuanwu was the marquis of Li Dao and Guo Yan in order to win over Zhang Xiu when they were in power; Wuwei is Zhang Xiu's hometown; After the person reported his identity, Deng Ji's doubts gradually disappeared, but the interrogation was still necessary, and the young general was not in a hurry or impatient to answer fluently; After dozens of words, there were people behind the young general who were dissatisfied, muttering in the drip, and the young general also turned around and scolded sharply, what he said, Deng Ji didn't understand, but he didn't understand it doesn't mean that he didn't have knowledge, this is the Qiang language of the Qiang people in Xiliang, Zhang Xiu is from Xiliang, and there are many Qiang people in the army he leads, these Deng Ji knows, this time he has no doubts; "Hahaha! Don't blame the little general! I had no choice but to do so! Safety first! Wait for me to go down and welcome you into the city!" Deng Ji laughed and went down the city gatehouse; It was a pity that he did not see the evil smile of the young general, which was a smile of successful schemes, and a laugh of relief; "Squeak!" , The gate of Huyang City slowly opened, and Deng Ji's thin body rode out of the city slowly on a discordant high-headed horse, and greeted him with a smile: "The little general has been waiting for a long time!" Come on, come on! Come with me into town! What did your uncle call you for? ”
"General Deng Ji! Actually, the gentleman called me to catch you! Kill ——! After camouflaging for a long time, the young general who finally got the opportunity took Deng Ji in his arms, and the five hundred cavalry behind him rushed up to the city, killing people when they saw them; However, the ground began to shake at a moment, and the black cavalry in the distance pressed up, and the Jingzhou army, which had lost the command of the leader, was defeated almost without any effective resistance, Deng Ji was ashamed and angry, the more cautious he was, the more trouble happened!
"Bastard! Little bastard! You play yin! The rats who don't dare to report their names! Gutsless rats! Deng Ji was so angry that his beard straightened, and he kept struggling under the armpit of the young general, looking so weak; Oh yes! Bastard! Listen up! The uncle's name is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi! If Mr. hadn't told me to kill less, Lao Tzu would have strangled you directly! It was the champion Hou Machao who pretended to deceive the city, and at this time, with a little force, he spit out Dunzile's tongue; Soon after the cavalry stabilized the situation in the city, the infantry had just caught up, and the word "Li" fluttered in the wind, coming from far and near;
