Just on an unnamed mountain pass about twenty miles southwest of the battlefield, Yuan Shu was immediately on top of the high post, listening to the scout's report, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He listened to Yan Xiang's strategy, divided his troops into two routes, and led an army of 20,000 by Yuan Yi to meet according to the plan predetermined by Sun Jian, but he himself led 20,000 Jing Rui to pass through another mountain pass, and after a day and a night of rapid marching, appeared in the southwest direction of the battlefield.

Yan Xiang said that if Sun Jian wanted to escape from Linxiang City, it could only be if Liu Xiu deliberately let him go. Why did Liu Xiu let him go? The reason is very simple, unless it is absolutely necessary, Liu Xiu will not attack the city, the cost of attacking the city is very large, and Liu Xiu's troops can besiege the city, and the siege is slightly insufficient. After all, field battles are much easier than sieges, and they can give full play to Liu Xiu's advantage of having more cavalry.

If this estimate is true, then it is impossible for Sun Jian to escape to the bottom of the mountain, with the ability of so many cavalry under Liu Xiu, even if he can't completely annihilate Sun Jian's more than 10,000 people, at least he can delay their pace and make them unable to advance, so as to wait for Liu Xiu's army to arrive.

In other words, Sun Jian's plan was not possible to achieve from the beginning. On the contrary, if Sun Jian can really get to the bottom of the mountain, it may be a trap.

It's not Sun Jianbu's trap, it's Liu Xiubu's trap. Sun Jian is the bait, Liu Xiu is the hunter, and Yuan Shu, who rushed over to the rescue, is the prey.

As if he was unwilling to forcibly attack the city, Liu Xiu was also unwilling to rush to Yuzhang to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shu, in this case, using Sun Jian as a bait to lure Yuan Shu to Changsha was the best choice. In this way, the defense line that Yuan Shu had arranged for a long time was useless, and he rushed to Changsha and became a guest army, which can be described as meat to the mouth.

So what if Yuan Shu is not fooled? That's okay, Liu Xiu can still swallow Sun Jian in one bite, and disgust Yuan Shu, you can't save you when you die. Who will give you your life in the future?

This should be Liu Xiu's entire plan. It should be said that there is nothing too clever, as long as you have a brain, you will do it. The Art of War says. To people but not to others, Liu Xiu always grasps the initiative, he is smarter than ordinary people, that is, he will think one step more than ordinary people, or even two steps.

But what if we think one step more than him?

Yan Xiang's plan is that we will divide our troops into two ways. The others all went according to Liu Xiu's predetermined plan, but we thought about one more step ourselves, we left the most sharp main force, and when Liu Xiu, Sun Jian, and Yuan Yi fought with all their might, we stabbed him in the back.

Sun Jian had 10,000 men, Yuan Yi brought 20,000 men, and Liu Xiu only had 30,000 people in Changsha in total, even if half of him were cavalrymen. But if he wants to bite the 30,000 people of Sun Jian and Yuan Yi in the world, he also has a lot of effort. Just as he was giving it his all, we suddenly went out. There's a big chance of him breaking down. Because his main forces are all on the battlefield, the only ones who can come up with the last reserve force to deal with us are usually his Chinese army and personal guard battalion.

At that time, we were hunters, and he became the prey. Liu Xiu's personal guard battalion has 10,000 cavalry, and we have 20,000 cavalry, although the number of cavalry is smaller, but we are a sneak attack, and we have the initiative. Moreover, it is impossible for Liu Xiu to keep all the guards in his hands. Only let the other 20,000 cavalry to attack Sun Jian and them, in that case, his strength advantage will be limited, and the casualties will inevitably increase, which is not in line with Liu Xiu's habit of using troops.

The final key is the opportunity for Yuan Shu to attack, and he must be calm. waited until Liu Xiu went all out to make a move, and in the end, there were only a few people left around Liu Xiu.

Yuan Shu is waiting for this opportunity now, he has just received the news that Yuan Yi has fought out of the mountain pass and successfully rendezvous with Sun Jian. The only thing that surprised him a little was that Sun Jian's losses were very large, and now only the Chinese army was still intact, and the other four armies had collapsed.

And the reason for this result was that Liu Xiu's attack was too sharp, whether it was his ballista or cavalry, the lethality exceeded Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang's estimates.

Yan Xiang was not far away, and he was asking the scout about the situation on the battlefield in detail. Yuan Shu didn't listen, he couldn't wait to kill him. Judging from the latest news, if he doesn't go, then Sun Jian and Yuan Yi may both die in the hands of Liu Xiu.

Not only did he have to rescue Sun Jian and Yuan Yi, but he also had to defeat Liu Xiu, regain Changsha's pocket, and then sweep the four counties south of the Yangtze River.

At the thought of stabbing Liu Xiu in the back, Yuan Shu couldn't help but want to laugh, he really wanted to see Liu Xiu's expression when he saw him.

"General, something is wrong." Yan Xiang walked over, his face heavy.

Yuan Shu twisted his neck nonchalantly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Liu Xiu has an ambush at the mountain pass, it is difficult for Yuan Yi's 20,000 people to fully enter the battlefield, Sun Jian's losses are too large, they can't attract Liu Xiu's enough troops, if we attack, it is bound to be another fierce battle of equal strength."

"So what?"

Yan Xiang was speechless, he had already said it very politely, why didn't Yuan Shu understand it? If it is said that it is evenly matched, it refers to the strength of troops, but if you have to consider the combat effectiveness of Liu Xiu's subordinates, it is to attack the strong with weakness. What's more, there are still twenty miles to get to the battlefield from here, for the cavalry, twenty miles may only be a matter of half an hour, for the foot soldiers, can they still fight after running down twenty miles? What is the difference between running over and not being able to fight, and being sent to death.

"General, I checked just now, there are also traces of garrisons in this mountain pass, Liu Xiu should have arranged a blockade here, although these people have withdrawn, it is possible that our army has been discovered, that is to say, now the attack cannot be successful, and it can only be attacked openly."

"What about the open attack?" Yuan Shu turned his head and glanced at Yan Xiang, and without waiting for Yan Xiang to explain, he smiled bitterly and said: "We have arrived here, Wentai and Boye (Yuan Yi) are waiting for us to save them, should we just withdraw like this?" ”

Yan Xiang was speechless, so anxious that beads of sweat broke out.

"Besides, it's too early to say that the sneak attack won't work out now." Yuan Shu said again: "You lead the foot soldiers behind, and I lead the cavalry first, even if it is really impossible to sneak attack Liu Xiu, it is good to relieve a little pressure on Wentai and Boye." ”

"General, no." Yan Xiang was shocked, and stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Shu's horse reins, "If the general wants to share some pressure for them, he can send other people, and the general must not take risks himself." ”

Yuan Shu shook his head and slowly broke Yan Xiang's hand: "Yan Jun, you must know that if I can't rescue Wentai and Boye, as well as those people under them, even if I can go back alive, what's the point?" If you can't hold Changsha and lose more than 30,000 people in vain, can you keep Yuzhang? ”

Yan Xiang was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, holding Yuan Shu's leg and begging bitterly. Yuan Shu was unmoved, he let out a long sigh: "Liu Xiu is very cautious, he himself likes to use tactics that hit the key points the most, so he usually doesn't give others such a chance." Whether he estimated it or not, he was already exposed to me, and next time, I couldn't have such a good chance. If I let this opportunity go, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

He gently broke away from Yan Xiang and shouted at Sun Ce, who had already jumped to the test: "Sun Ce, follow me to save your father." ”

Sun Ce answered loudly and urged the horse forward. His father was besieged by Liu Xiu, he couldn't wait to have wings and fly to his father's side, just now Yan Xiang persuaded Yuan Shu not to go, he almost couldn't control himself, and pulled out his knife to kill Yan Xiang. In his opinion, no matter how strong Liu Xiu was, he would never have thought that Yuan Shu would wait behind him with 20,000 Jing Rui, if even this could be counted, then he would not be a human being.

With the intention to attack unprepared, not to mention that it is still 20,000 Jing Rui, the chance of winning is at least more than seventy percent, why can't you fight? Although Yan Xiang is smart and a scholar, he doesn't know anything about military aircraft at all, how can such a person be a military advisor.

Sun Ce galloped on his horse and rushed to the front. Ma Chao on the other side of Yuan Shu was not to be outdone. Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce, then at Yan Xiang, and didn't speak, but Yan Xiang understood, he lowered his head and wiped his tears: "General, you go slowly, I'll be there later." ”

"There is labor." Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the war horse came to the front of the guard riding with a brisk pace. Yuan Shu raised his voice and shouted: "Our biggest enemy, Liu Xiu, is just in front, and now, he is entangled by General Sun Jian, and the main force is exhausted, exposing his ass to us." Shall we rush up and kick hard? ”

The guard battalion laughed and shouted, "Of course! ”

"Gotta kick harder!"

"Kick his ass!"

Yuan Shu laughed, and after a while, he sank his face, raised his right hand high, and shouted: "Pass my order: kill Liu Xiu, reward a thousand gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households!" ”

The soldiers suddenly became excited, scrambling to raise their weapons in their hands and shouting loudly. Yuan Shu turned the horse's head, looked in the direction of the battlefield, his eyes flashed with fierceness, and he kicked the war horse fiercely. War Ma Xi Yu let out a long hiss, and the man stood up, then spread his hooves and galloped away.

Ma Teng began to set out with more than 2,000 knights from the guard battalion. Yan Xiang watched them walk away, turned around, the hesitation on his face disappeared, and he calmly said to the generals who surrounded him: "The general's order, you have also heard it, the marquis worships the general, just today, you should work hard." ”

"Whoa!" The generals responded violently, each returned to his own team, straightened out the people, and set off one by one.

……

At the foot of Dawei Mountain, the battle was in full swing, Liu Xiu looked at the panting scout in front of him and groaned for a moment. He had both joy and worry in his heart, happy that Yuan Shu really came, the worried Yuan Shu did not come empty-handed, he had 20,000 Jing Rui in his hands, and there were more than 2,000 cavalry. The combat effectiveness of these people is definitely not comparable to Sun Jian, who has been dragged to collapse by him. Under normal circumstances, to fight with so many people and achieve victory, he needs at least the same number of troops, but the problem is that he now only has 3,000 tiger battalions left and 5,000 personal guards, and he may not lose if he loses, but the losses will definitely be great.

What's more, if those Yuan troops know that there are still reinforcements coming, their morale will be stronger, and they will hold out longer, and maybe there is a possibility of a reversal.

It turned out that Yuan Shu was not timid and did not dare to come, but hid his hand, and he came more fiercely than he expected. Liu Xiu smiled bitterly to himself, he thought that he had been more calculated, but it turned out that no one has ever been able to fully control the battle situation, and there will always be unexpected changes...... From now on, the monthly pass is doubled. Haha, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued) RQ
