Wise men like Guo Jia and Zhou Yu all believed that there was no suspense in the battle of Northern Xinjiang and that the victory of the Qingzhou Army was a foregone conclusion, and on this premise, they revised the strategic direction. However, they are thinking from their own standpoint, and they are preparing for the worst.

In fact, the situation in Youzhou is far from the moment of peace and ease, and there are many variables and it is also very fatal.

At this moment, Wang Yu and the Qingzhou generals are facing a rather difficult and important choice.

To save or not to save?

If you don't save it, there won't be too many twists and turns in the whole battle situation, the three-way army goes hand in hand, and the Xianbei people can only choose between the decisive battle and the escape.

If the decisive battle, although the number of Hu cavalry is more, but the equipment and training of the main force of Qingzhou is stronger, now in the Han Dynasty, in the case of the number of people is only two or three times, the combat power of the Han army is far superior to that of Hu Cai, and the combat power of the Qingzhou army, in the Central Plains where the strong soldiers are like forests, is also a leader.

And the Xianbei people used Gongsun Zan as bait to attract Wang Yu's light soldiers to rescue, isn't it a risk? Zhao Yun's light cavalry was wandering around the border fortress, and it was possible to block the border pass at any time. The longer Hu Cai's delay in Juyong City, the higher the chance that the Qingzhou army would complete the encirclement.

Annihilate 100,000 Hu riders under the plug!

Although Wang Yu is used to seeing strong winds and waves, this record still has a strong temptation, which makes him always remember it and find it difficult for him to help himself. This is not just an honor like Feng Wolf Juxu, but a result of considerable significance for the entire Central Plains.

After the Xianbei people were hit hard, they may not be able to recover their current scale for decades, which means that there is no possibility of repeating the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua. Even if the Xianbei people are sincerely united, the Central Plains heroes were defeated in the end, and the former no longer had the ability to go south. The power to change the pattern of the world.

From Qingzhou itself alone, without the support of the Xianbei people, it is a joke that Wuhuan is attacked from both sides, whether it is exterminated or actively defended. Without the containment of the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang, the Qingzhou Army can go all out and pass through the Central Plains, and the positive significance of this is self-evident.

And Gongsun Chan himself......

Wang Yu tried hard to suppress it, not wanting these thoughts to come out. But he couldn't control it, he knew that the proud border army general would definitely be more willing to let 100,000 Hu Qi and more Xianbei tribesmen bury themselves and bury them. Instead of being like a wronged little daughter-in-law. Rescued from the city.

There is no doubt that Gongsun Chan is such a person, he will definitely think so.

From this point of view, it seems that the strategy of not saving, or not rushing, but continuing to complete the three-way attack is the best policy.

However, there are a lot of troubles to do so.

First of all, Wang Yu himself felt that it was not easy to pass. Tao Qian and Gongsun Zhan were the two people who helped him the most when he started his army. In his legendary rise, without the almost selfless help of these two men, he would definitely have to go through more twists and turns. As Newton said later: he stepped on the shoulders of giants. So stand taller.

Seeing Gongsun Chan die in battle, with the help of the other party's death to achieve his own name in cold blood, Wang Yu really couldn't do it.

In addition, Wang Yu is not like a traditional monarch. You can't see the Emperor's Mind on his body, but his characteristics are still obvious. Emphasis on love and righteousness, courage and bravery. If you watch the friendly army fall and do not save him, his reputation and prestige in the hearts of his generals will inevitably decline to a certain extent, making people feel that his affection is not pretended, but in fact he is a hypocrite?

Of course, it is not difficult to eliminate the impact, as long as you make a play, such as the rescue comes here, Wangbei cries or something, but Wang Yu doesn't like it.

Only at the beginning of the crossing, in order to fool his father and obtain military power, he had to pretend to be a very heroic posture of the city, and when the power gradually became strong, Wang Yu basically acted according to his heart.

This has attracted a lot of slander, even his own staff think that the son of the daughter is not able to sit down, he always takes risks with his life, not like the image of the master, but Wang Yu is happy.

He has never been keen on power, absolute power only leads to absolute corruption, and he doesn't want to become one of those politicians with a big belly and a bad stomach.

He is a martial artist, the strongest martial artist, Wang Yu is sure and pursues only this, on the way to the top, power is just incidental and embellishment. As long as it is not out of control, there is no need to cling to it, and there is no need to go against one's heart in order to maintain power.

Putting aside these psychological obstacles, what really bothered Wang Yu was the way of rescue. At present, the battle situation in Youzhou is showing a situation of encirclement of each other, before the Yulin army broke through the Qianman Department and took position, the Qingzhou army in Youzhou was actually attacked from both sides.

The Taishan army can't move lightly, otherwise the rear road of the army will be cut off, and they will lose themselves. However, even if the whole army of Taishan Army is mobilized, the strength is still insufficient, if it is not moved, what will be used to relieve the siege?

Wang Yu was thinking, and the generals were also talking.

Tai Shi Ci patted his chest and shouted loudly: "Don't think about it so much, the lord just needs to go north with peace of mind, and he will return to Yongnu City, and never let Badun step into Yan Country for half a step, or threaten Drifting Yujin!" ”

In the first battle of Baoqiushui, he fought happily, and the spirit of the soldiers after the war was several times higher than before, and even Chen Shao's sailors also had the appearance of a bit of a fierce warrior at this moment.

Therefore, it is not a boast for him to say this now, with Guan Ping and Hu Cai's 6,000 soldiers, as well as Guan Ning's 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, plus the deterrent power of Tai Shici's headquarters soldiers and horses, it may be impossible to defeat Ban Dun, but there is still some chance of winning to stop him.

"This is not appropriate, the high mobility and attack power of the Marine Corps can only be easily handled in the offshore zone, and with Yan Rou's mistake first, Badun will definitely not make the same mistake again. If I were him, I would take a detour from the plains north of Lu County, attack Jixian County, and after taking Jixian County, I would attack Yongnu and Quanzhou in turn, and put Piaoyujin at the end of the ......"

Wei Yan snatched a few chess pieces from Zhuge Liang's hands, and while fiddling on the sand table, he explained: "In this way, you can put aside the auxiliary team with the strongest attack power and the largest number of people, but it can also play the role of cutting off the grain route." ”

"Can't leave the sea?" Tai Shi Ci scoffed at Wei Yan's statement, and snorted coldly: "Then a certain person will guard Jixian County and see if Bunton has the ability to capture the city?" ”

"Still not right." Wei Yan shook his head, put the chess pieces representing Tai Shici's department on the sand table in Jixian County, and then moved the chess pieces representing Ban Dun to the south: "If you are not here, Ban Dun will have no scruples, you can lead the main force to attack Piaoyujin, and then attack Yongnu and Quanzhou with suspicious soldiers respectively to contain ......"

Tai Shi Ci shouted dissatisfiedly: "He doesn't have clairvoyance and ears, how can he find out the layout of our army so clearly?" ”

"That's why it's troublesome." Wei Yan spread his hands and said: "With Yan Rou and Qi Zhou, Yuyang and Yan are well-informed, convenient and convenient, and it is more like a home battle than our army." ”

Tai Shici thinks about it, the most disturbing thing about this battle of Youzhou is that the local forces are complex, and there is no way to judge who has colluded with Zahu and who has not. It is definitely unscientific to just look at the pedigree genealogy, and it takes too much time and energy to investigate in detail, and you can't afford it on your side. It is indeed very mysterious to want to confuse Badun through mobilization.

He scratched his hair and said angrily, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Wen Chang, you should come up with an idea." ”

"I've thought about it, it's better to just ...... like this" Wei Yan objected to Tai Shici's opinion, of course he had ideas, otherwise he would have become vindictive.

With a wave of his hand, he drew the chessboard all over the board, grouped the chess pieces into two piles, and then said his suggestion: "Divide the troops everywhere, you will only be restrained everywhere, if you don't do this, empty Quanzhou City, let the two Guan generals guard Piaoyujin together, so that even if the whole division of the whole division attacks, it can hold on for several days." All the other troops were assembled, bringing enough grain and grass for half a month, and the whole division went north......"

"You're crazy!" Tai Shici was taken aback by him, and the others also looked sideways.

In later generations, there was an afterthought, that is, to describe that some people like to point fingers at classic battle examples after the fact, saying that the battle line is too long, which leads to defeat, and even if there is no defense in many places, there will be no danger because the enemy has not gone at all.

These people often ignore the cause and effect relationship, there are troops stationed, so the enemy does not go, if there is no fortification everywhere, then there are loopholes everywhere, what choice will the enemy make?

Now Wei Yan's proposal has this tendency, only hold one place in Piaoyujin, let go of the entire Yuyang defense line, and the army of Bandun can come and go at will. It is easy to lose the grain road, but it is difficult to take it back, in case the brain cramps, regardless of the southward rush into the hinterland of Jizhou, the situation will be more chaotic and unpredictable, and it is inevitable to get out of control.

This is clearly a desperate gamble, taking the fate of the whole army to win or lose.

"Just to let him come! Brother Ziyi and Mou's troops have high mobility and can attack quickly, not seeking to defeat Badun, but to contain him. The long-distance march speed of the Agni cavalry is ordinary, but the short-distance surprise attack is no problem, after you and I hold the Badun, the two generals Lu and Zhang will deliver a fatal blow, depending on the distance of the battlefield, the rest of the troops can also cooperate, so ......"

Wei Yan closed his palms, tightly grasped the chess pieces representing Badun on the sand table, and sneered: "Each one is broken, the eastern front is worry-free, and then, our army can calmly go north." ”

Everyone frowned, thinking about the pros and cons of Wei Yan's proposal.

It is undeniable that this plan does have a certain degree of feasibility, through their own mobilization, to show flaws to others, so as to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy, so as to solve the ghost behind the ghost first, so that you can go all out to deal with the Xianbei people.

Of course, if you make a surprise attack, you must take risks, and Wei Yan's plan must not be negligent at every step, otherwise it will be an unforeseen disaster. But at the moment, this seems to be the most feasible approach.

After a moment of silence, someone slowly spoke, and the tone and meaning were all negative: "On the surface, it seems to be fine, but in practice, it is still very tricky." ”
