Chapter 153 Cooking Wine on Heroes
The two battles of Liang Dong and Cheng Gao shocked the world, but the specific process of these two battles is not clear to anyone. The people involved are still alive, but neither Sun nor Cao will say much about this topic.
Sun Jian was blown up at one point, and when Yuan Shu went to inquire about the specific process, he was all thrown away by Sun Jian, and in the end he could only get some information from Sun Jian's subordinates.
Wang Yu didn't bother himself at all, with his relationship with Sun Jian, coming to talk about this would definitely be regarded as a provocation, and an internal strife and group fight would inevitably be inevitable. Wang Yu is not afraid of fighting, but what is there to fight in this senseless fight?
Cao Cao's reply, Wang Yu learned from Li Yifeng. The reply here is even more bizarre, Cao Cao said that he lost inexplicably, and he didn't know where he lost at all.
This statement, while adding to Xu Rongwei's fame, also shrouded him with an unfathomable veil. Everyone in the world says: Xu Rong uses soldiers and has unpredictable abilities.
There are quite a few people like Captain Li who watched the battle with their own eyes, but if they don't have enough vision to fight a war, how can they see the way out? He can see the victory and defeat, but the specific process is not clear.
All in all, this topic is quite attractive, not to mention a few generals, even Jia Xu, who is not very interested in the affairs of the military formation, got closer and quietly pricked up his ears.
"In the battle of Chenggao, Cao Mengde united the heroes of Yanzhou, the soldiers were strong and strong, and the number of people was overwhelming, Rong only brought more than 10,000 troops and horses with the Yongzhou army, mixed with part of the Northern Army and the Western Liang Army, which seemed to be strong and weak, but in fact it was not......"
Xu Rong didn't mean to sell Guan Zi, and said calmly: "Actually, that battle is quite similar to today's battle. Although General Wang is full of tricks, but what he uses is Rong's flaws, such as the plan of sprinkling gold and deceit, if General Gongsun is replaced, can he restrain the soldiers and horses? What if General Wang is replaced? ”
Wang Yu nodded.
This battle can be won, and the people on both wings play a greater role, but Xu Rong specifically mentioned this, obviously to tell himself that Cao Cao's weakness in the Battle of Chenggao was that he was not bringing his own soldiers, and it was even worse than Xu Rong's condition, Cao Cao was leading a coalition army!
Cao Mengde was in the crane wing array, and he divided Bao Xin's soldiers and horses into two parts, and mixed them with Liu Dai and Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks, and the Chinese army only had his 5,000 headquarters and Weijia's 3,000 private soldiers. Rong hung the array with a car and attacked Cao Mengde's army, so he won a big victory, but if it is conclusive, it is said that Cao Mengde's army is slightly inferior to Rong, but also? ”
Xu Rong didn't finish his words, but Wang Yu already had an understanding in his heart.
The Crane Wing Formation is a formation in which the two wings fly together, with heavy troops lined up on both flanks, and the offensive is also launched by the two wings. However, the reason why Cao Cao lined up like this was mainly out of helplessness.
Zhang Miao and Liu Dai are not in harmony with each other, and their subordinates will naturally be the same, let them fight side by side, it is easy to make trouble.
And although Bao Xin values Cao Cao, he also has the attitude that the elders look good at the juniors, and Cao Cao doesn't want to put on the orders of his superiors to order Bao Xin. In fact, Bao Xin's position is much heavier than Cao Cao's, the coalition army is only 50,000 in total, and Bao Xin's family has more than 20,000 soldiers, and the weight of his words can be imagined.
Cao Cao can really command only the 5,000 men in his headquarters, plus the 3,000 soldiers of Weizi. This is still Wang Yu who helped him and killed Wei Zi, otherwise it would be even worse.
Cao Cao shouldn't be unaware of these problems, but what can he do, he can't just take 5,000 people to Luoyang, right? Taking advantage of the void is not such a method, he can only try to coordinate all parties and come up with a relatively mediocre plan.
If he encounters a few mediocre generals, after a few battles, his prestige will be erected, and his combat effectiveness will be increased accordingly. As a result, he ran headlong into a rebellious figure like Xu Rong, and it was strange to be undefeated.
Xu Rong's rook suspension array is extremely strong in the front, if Cao Cao's crane wing array can completely exert its power, it is the central breakthrough to outflank the two wings, and the victory or loss is still between two possibilities. But according to Xu Rong's statement, it is clear that Cao Cao's two wings did not work well, and the Chinese army could not withstand Xu Rong's onslaught, and the result was tragic.
“…… As soon as the Chinese army collapses, I will drive the Chinese army to rout and attack the two wings, and the Yanzhou army will no longer have the strength to return to heaven. Xu Rong's description is not very detailed, but every sentence is to the point, and through his description, the panorama of the battle of Chenggao is displayed in front of everyone.
It is indeed unreasonable to judge which of Cao Cao and Xu Rong's art of war is higher or lower based on this battle alone. Just like the battle of the Yangren, Wang Yu also won more with less, but he didn't dare to say that the art of war was far above Xu Rong.
Li Yifeng was puzzled: "In this case, why didn't General Cao ......" Halfway through speaking, he himself stopped talking.
Cao Cao couldn't explain the reason at all, otherwise he would really lose the battle and be embarrassed, and by the way, he would have offended Bao Xin and Liu Dai's gang. Knocking out his teeth and swallowing them in his stomach, admitting that his skills are not as good as others, is his only choice.
Wang Yu can imagine that for Cao Mengde, whose heart is higher than the sky, how aggrieved he was in losing this battle, he couldn't explain it to others if he lost, and he didn't know if he had internal injuries.
"What about the battle of Liangdong?"
Xu Rong glanced at Wang Yu meaningfully and said, "Sun Wentai lost in his habits and temper. ”
× 100 × × searched × and searched for × eight × and one × × × × of the Chinese Network
"Something to do with me?" Wang Yu felt a little confused.
Xu Rong said playfully: "Sun Wentai is conceited and brave, he usually walks in the front when he marches, and he likes to hold a big flag by himself, the cloak on his body is red, and the red curtain on his head is also bright red and shiny, it is difficult to see him." When fighting, he often took the lead and repeatedly risked himself, General Wang, don't you think his weakness is more obvious? ”
"......" Wang Yu was speechless.
In this way, Sun Jian is really similar to himself, well, he likes to pretend to be cool more than himself. Of course, there are still some differences with myself, I like to take the lead, but every time I appear in the most critical place, very low-key, such as when I sneaked into Luoyang......
And what about Sun Jian? It's simply synonymous with high profile, wow!
It couldn't be easier to deal with this kind of person, just encircle the point and send reinforcements, it is said that Liang Dong's battle was still an encounter......
Wang Yu conjured up the scene in his mind.
Sun Jian held the banner majestically and marched forward, but he ran headlong into Xu Rong's military column. Both armies were marching with the long snake formation, Sun Jian should have felt that it was an opportunity to break the enemy, and if he changed Wang Yu, Bacheng would also think the same, will the brave win when they meet on a narrow road!
As a result, Sun Jian rushed forward first, and then tragedy.
Wang Yu has seen with his own eyes how fast Xu Rong's troops formed a formation, no matter how fierce Sun Jian is, can he compare to the combination of himself and Huang Zhong? Even Lu Bu can't do it! If he bumps into it, he will find that he has hit a wall, and he is impregnable!
Of course, Sun Jian's martial arts are very strong, and Xu Rong is also in a hurry to respond to the enemy, so it should be too late to besiege Sun Jian. However, he doesn't need to kill Sun Jian, as long as he traps Sun Jian as a bait, sets up a position, and waits for the Jiangdong Army to collide with him, a typical refueling tactic.
There may also be relatively rational generals in the Jiangdong Army, but can they abandon the general? can only drive the army forward, and then be swallowed by Xu Rong one bite at a time.
An army that fights as a whole is a massacre against stragglers!
Therefore, although the battle of Liangdong was only an encounter battle, not a battle of encirclement and annihilation, Sun Jian was still completely annihilated, and when he ran away, there were only a dozen guards around him, if it weren't for Zu Mao's loyalty, wearing his helmet to lure the pursuers away, he would have almost been caught.
As a result, Zu Mao was killed by Huang Zhong...... Sun Jian is also aggrieved!
In these two battles, Xu Rong's strategy is beyond doubt, after all, he fought in a hurry, did not analyze and study the enemy, and only started after the engagement, and made the most correct decision in the shortest possible time.
However, with the results of these two battles, it is also unscientific to deny the abilities of Sun and Cao. It's true that both had weaknesses at the time, but who can guarantee that they won't learn from the pain and make up for the shortcomings?
Maybe it was because of the setbacks that Cao Cao was defeated and then succeeded, reaching the realm of the art of war.
Sun Jian seems to be able to say that he can only be said to be a flaw in his character, and he seems to have hung up later because of his rash body. Then his eldest son Sun Ce also seemed to inherit his characteristics, and he died very aggrieved, and it was Sun Quan who learned the lesson, so he was the three-legged Wu.
Well, thinking a little too far......
Now the focus is to convince Xu Rong that it is so important to have a good teacher, even if Xu Rong doesn't do anything, as long as every time he finishes the battle in the future, let him help analyze the pros and cons of the gains and losses, and let the generals under his command listen to it, this is an inexhaustible wealth!
"Someone, bring wine!" Wang Yu was tired of the endless persuasion, and he decided to bet on the next fierce medicine, and whether he won or lost was all up to his destiny.
Everyone didn't know what his intention was to do this, and was it a final persuasion? Or give up altogether? Speaking of which, toasting a glass of wine before killing is also a common practice.
Wang Yu didn't pay attention to others, and waited for the guards to send the wine, laughed, raised a glass and said: "Listen to your words, it is better to read ten years of books, today and General Xu cook wine and talk, talk about the heroes of the world, Yu has benefited a lot, only a glass of thin wine, a glass of toast to the general, and send the general on the road!" ”
"Very good." Xu Rong was calm, took the wine bowl, raised his glass to Wang Yu to make a slight gesture, and then drank it all.
"Let's do it." Throwing away the wine bowl, he closed his eyes, and the whimpering sound of the guards could already be heard behind him.
"Hands-on? Doesn't the general still want Yu to lead the horse for the general? Wang Yu exclaimed: "Okay, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when I will be able to see the general's dignity again, and Yu will whip the general and kick it." ”
"What?" Everyone was stunned, Xu Rong's eyes opened suddenly, and the light in his eyes flashed.
"What Yu said is already very clear, right?" As he spoke, Wang Yu had already taken a horse from the guards.
"You're going to let so-and-so go?" Xu Rong hesitated.
"The general and I have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, how can Yu bear to harm each other?" Wang Yu replied.
"Aren't you afraid that he will meet someone on the battlefield again one day?" Xu Rong asked.
Wang Yu laughed and said, "If he meets the general again in the future, Yu has his own clever plan to win another battle, does the general believe it?" ”
"That's fine." Xu Rong's expression remained unchanged, and he said meaningfully: "Wang Pengju, you are gambling, do you think that a certain club will return to your heart because of your righteous interpretation?" You're thinking wrong! ”
Wang Yu replied neatly: "Then I am willing to gamble and lose." ”
"Very good!" Xu Rong took the reins of the horse from Wang Yu's hand, turned over on the horse, and rode away without looking back, the guards were surprised inexplicably, and looked around vigilantly, seeing that no one stopped them, and no one had the intention of plotting abusively, so they chased after Xu Rong.
The smoke and dust along the way quickly disappeared.
"Hehe, lord, you miscalculated this time." Jia Xu put his hands on the pergola, and said with a smile: "If Gongqing Xu goes back and collects these defeated troops, your wishful thinking will not work, and you are willing to lose the bet, this time it is really a mess." ”
Compared with Jia Xu, Gongsun Yue's performance was much more righteous, and he shouted loudly: "Don't worry, virtuous brother, let's order all the people and horses to arrest this untrustworthy person back." ”
The other people didn't say anything, but Huang Zhong had a look of guilt on his face, he felt that Xu Rong's approach was too inauthentic, even if he refused to work, he couldn't go so resolutely? Somehow...... Alas, it's all the fault of my own thoughts.
Wang Yu didn't say anything, he was in a trance. He suddenly remembered a well-known allusion in the Three Kingdoms: Recommending Zhuge on the Horse.
It seems that when Xu Shu left Liu Bei, there was such a scene, Xu Rong had already made up his mind, and it was already irretrievable, but I don't know if he would suddenly turn back and recommend someone to himself.
It's a pity that I won't fake crying, otherwise it seems that I can perform more just now.
In the chaos, Xu Huang suddenly raised his hand and pointed at it, and said in a loud voice: "Look, Lord, Xu Gongqing is back!" ”
Really back? Wang Yu followed the prestige, and saw the smoke and dust all the way back, he was overjoyed at the moment, the surname of the Three Kingdoms was Xu, and they were all good!
