Chapter 204: Surprise Attack

Gao Yuan only has one state, but Yuan Shao has six states.

Ancient warfare, in the end, is the garrison has a large advantage in siege warfare, although Gao Yuan has 100,000 elite soldiers, but as soon as the state is merged, it is a male city like Yecheng. Although there are many 100,000 troops, in the face of the Yuan army with a million armor, it is unlikely that they want to capture Yecheng.

Therefore, Gao Yuan was almost locked in the state.

In the past few days, news has come that Yuan Shao is close to the county seat of Bingzhou before Yecheng and has stationed heavy troops. This is clearly to arrange another line of defense in front of Yecheng.

On this day, Gao Yuan gathered to discuss how to fight and merge the state. This nest is at home, although others can't get in, but the vast fields outside, there is nothing to do with themselves.

Sima Yi and Xu Shu have never let go of the matter of merging the state, but they glanced at each other and said, "Lord, calm down, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity." ”

When Gao Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed, and he also understood this truth. For example, Liu Bang, Gou Jian, etc., have been out for more than ten years. However, he came from a later life, and later generations were fast-paced. Although Gao Yuan has been in this era for several years, if he is asked to wait for more than ten years, this will undoubtedly cost him his life.

The generals nodded their heads in agreement with the suggestions of the two military advisors.

At this moment, Gao Ya, the commander of the special intelligence guard, came in person and said, "My lord, some people have come from outside the customs and brought some information, I think you should listen to it yourself." ”

Outside this pass, that is, outside the Huguan, generally refers to Yuan Shao's territory.

After a while, three ordinary people came. It was run out of Liangqi County.

This Liangqi County Gao Yuan knows that it is the west of Yecheng, the closest county seat to Huguan.

The news they brought was: since Gao Yuan withdrew to Huguan. The scholars returned to the place from Yecheng, and the people suffered from this guy. The land and grain were all taken back. The scholars also intensified their efforts, killing and persecuting the people. The people were wailing and could not survive, so some people ran out. Ask Gao Yuan to send troops to the rescue. But wherever the great armies of the high and far go, the people will surely come to their aid.

Gao Yuan comforted each other with kind words, and ordered people to receive these people outside the border.

After sending these people away. Gao Yuan asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Sima Yi knew the temper of the lord, and he liked what his subordinates said the most, so he said bluntly: "Lord, subordinates look." It's over. He then explained why. Yuan originally had six states and a large population. According to the latest intelligence, taking advantage of the winter leisure to expand the army, there are 200,000 troops in the Yecheng military camp and 100,000 stationed in the counties outside Huguan. Advancing troops will not be able to find a foothold, but will be in danger of attrition. ”

When the generals heard this, they were a little depressed. Although Sima Yi did not say anything about the military of the state, everyone could understand this. There are only 100,000 troops on Gao Yuan's side. The defense is more than enough, and the offense is still insufficient. Other than that. There is only one state here in Gaoyuan, and I can't afford it.

Xu Shu followed and said: "In the direction of the Tiger Prison, there are 300,000 troops in each of Yangzhou. Yuan Shao was ambitious, while Sun Quan was not incompetent. Liu Biaobing has a lot of food, and Liu Bei helps him. Although Yuan Shao is numerous, he is surrounded by enemies, and he will be defeated after a long time. ”

When Gao Yuan heard this, he felt that although what the two military advisors said was good, it still had the limitations of the times. As far as Gao Yuan knows, Sun Quan has never been able to get out of Jiangdong in his life, and the time he stabbed his allies in the back does not count. After all, if my brother wants to stab my brother-in-law, ordinary people can't do it.

In addition, Liu Biao has not taken half a step out of Jingzhou in his life.

It was impossible to rely on Cao Cao to stab Yuan Shao.

Gao Yuan said: "If I don't save it, I will be disappointed." ”

Sima Yi and Xu Shu glanced at each other, and felt that what Gao Yuan said made sense.

Gao Yuan's heart moved, and he said: "The cavalry of our army is extremely fast, and it can cover a hundred miles outside the pass in one day. This Liangqi County is less than 30 miles from Huguan, and it will arrive in half an hour. There were 20,000 people and 10,000 defenders in the city. If you can blitze, you can move people into Huguan within a day. ”

Sima Yi and Xu Shu suddenly understood Gao Yuan's thoughts, such a military action was not so much an attack on the Yuan army as a robbery of the population. I believe that if you do it properly, the gains will outweigh the losses. On the one hand, it has dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Yuan family, on the one hand, it has increased its prestige among the people, and on the other hand, it has increased its own strength, killing three birds with one stone.

After thinking about it, Sima Yi said: "The people drag their families and mouths, they must not be able to walk fast, if Yuan Shaofa's army chases, how can it be good?" ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This is simple, just use the people as bait to ambush Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses." I believe that in the field, no one is an opponent for our soldiers and soldiers. After speaking, he looked at Zhang Liao and the others.

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others immediately got up and said, "I am willing to die for the Lord." ”

Sima Yi and Xu Shu also made sense when they thought about it, what Gao Yuanjun was most afraid of now was a tough battle that consumed a lot of vital forces. For example, as soon as you get out of Huguan, it is Yecheng, if you don't attack it, the Yuan army in it can cut off your back road at any time, even if you can't cut off the back road, you can't stand it if you cut off the grain road. You said to attack it, such a Xiongcheng is Yuan Shao's base camp, and if you don't throw down tens of thousands, you can't climb it. Especially after Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao, he had too much spare power to build Yecheng into an iron bucket.

However, some small counties are easy to do.

Gao Yuan contacted the future generations and said; "This battle, firstly, is to undermine the morale of Yuan's army, and secondly, to let the people know that there is an army, ready to rescue them. In this way, the prestige of our army in the hearts of the people will be enhanced, and the confidence of the people in resisting the enemy will be enhanced. ”

Now the people have come to ask for lofty, and Takafar cannot remain indifferent, so it is necessary to fight one battle, and if it is feasible, many battles can be fought. Just like our army in later generations, although it is not yet the time to fight a big city battle, a small-scale harassment war will still be carried out.

Therefore, Gao Yuan decided to blitz the county seat of Liang two days later.

Then, it was time to prepare.

Gao Yuan asked the people of Liangqi County who came to go back, contacted the reliable people in the county, and agreed that when the attack was made, there was no need for the people to fight back against the Yuan army, as long as the people were passive and slack, and did not help the people to abuse.

The next night, Gao Yuan personally led 30,000 cavalry, and pulled out the pot pass at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Thirty miles, for the cavalry, that is, the warm-up kung fu arrived.

When the sound of horses' hooves resounded outside Liangqi County, the entire county was shaken.

The defender of this Liang period county was Lu Kuang, and after waking up in his sleep, he knew that it must be Gao Yuan's army that attacked the county seat. Fortunately, the defenders were divided into two shifts, and half of them were always on guard.

However, when Lu Kuang mobilized the people to help in the war, he encountered difficulties ....... (To be continued......)
