Chapter 375 Seeking stability is also impossible
Since Yang Chou entered the army, Zhang Yang has always felt frightened, unable to sleep and eat, and a feeling of extreme worry and uneasiness has always haunted his heart. ◎Literature Museum◎For this reason, he asked Yang Chou to send a messenger every day to report the situation in order to control the situation.
On the first day, there was no progress; The next day, Yang Chou began to divide his troops; On the third day after Yang Chou's departure, the latest battle situation came from the front. It was bad news that couldn't be worse, and it made Zhang Yang feel like the sky was falling - Yang Chou's 3,000 army was wiped out, and even Yang Chou himself died in front of the battle!
The destruction of 3,000 soldiers and horses was already a nerve-wracking for Zhang Yang, and what was worse than this was that among the routs who fled back one after another, each of them could clearly tell what the strength of the enemy army was.
"A lot of people, a lot of them, rushing out from all directions, with no end in sight!"
"Cavalry? There are also a lot of cavalry! There were only hundreds on each road, but they launched three attacks at the same time...... The subordinates were in General Yang's team, because he sprained his foot and fell at the back of the team, and he could see very clearly that when the team was attacked, it was only four quarters of an hour away from Zengjia Village's warning, and it was not even half an hour...... Envoy, think about it, how can you use such a little time? The cavalry who raided the team and the ambush in Zengjia Village were definitely not all the way. ”
"General Yang rose up to resist, but the enemy general is too strong, and the enemy who attacked this team will be Donglai Tai Shici! This person's combination of guns and halberds is incredible, it's like a storm, this person also has a secret weapon kung fu, General Yang was blocked by his halberd, one blow! ”
"Zhang Yuanjun, you must be cautious about entering the army!"
Synthesize what everyone says. Zhang Yang can come to the conclusion that the enemy is very strong, the general is the strongest link, the truth is even worse than he guessed, the leader is not only Zhao Yun with a white horse and silver spear, but also Tai Shici with a combination of guns and halberds! The two generals joined forces and brought an unknown number of iron horsemen with extraordinary combat power! In addition, the surrounding people have also been mobilized, and there are thousands of mobs to help the Qingzhou army. Countless!
He didn't know what the truth was, but he agreed with the final advice, that fighting a war was risky, and that troops should be cautious.
The army in his hands is much stronger than Yang Chou, but the enemy army doesn't look like it's all strength. No one dares to guarantee that the result of his rash entry into the army will be stronger than Yang Chou.
Zhang Yang was afraid of death, and he was even more afraid of losing the power he had, so after repeated measurements, he vetoed the call of Mu Shun and others to ask for war. The camp retreated, retreated to Tobu Castle, and sent an urgent report to Yuan Shao asking for rescue.
……
The speed of the march of Yuan Shao's Chinese army. Much faster than the two-way division on the flank, because he didn't have to raise food and grass on the spot.
Looting grain requisitions can lead to considerable public resentment, which in turn can have an impact on reputation. Yuan Shao is a person who cherishes feathers. Of course, there will be some considerations.
The Allied hands will not affect his reputation. The so-called allies were originally armies with the same goal, but were not subject to unified orders, and they did evil, what is the relationship with General Yuan?
And the allies solved the supply problem by raising it locally, and Yuan Shao was able to save this money and food, and his reputation was not damaged, and he also fell into the benefits, which was a two-way strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
There is no need to raise food, and there is an open jaw in front of you. As a former outpost position, Juan County has a lot of grain, which is enough for the army to use for a short time. With protection on both flanks, reception in front, and supply in the rear, Yuan Shao's distracted march far exceeded the speed of the two partial divisions.
When Zhang Yang received the urgent report, the main army of Jizhou had already killed under the plain city.
After converging with Zhang Jaw, the number of troops in Jizhou has reached 60,000! The army spread out across the plain, the camps were continuous, and the trumpets were constantly sounding. In the face of such an army, the plains and the two cities of Gaotang that were horns of each other looked so helpless and desolate, and they were surrounded in an instant.
"Horns for each other? Lonely want to see how they can turn out the palm of Lone's hand! "Standing on the top of Mingshi Mountain, overlooking the mighty army, the momentum is like a rainbow, for a while, Yuan Shao is also in high spirits.
The series of accidents that brought him to the ground in disgrace began on this plain. Now, he has made a comeback, once again firmly grasped the future in his hands, regained his prestige, won the world, and fought here!
Relying on the mountains and the south to look at the country, pointing out the country, this kind of courage, of course, needs a lot of tricks to make fun of the scene, Guo Tu and others originally had this intention, but they didn't expect that there were people who were good at destroying the atmosphere to move faster.
"Does the lord mean to attack the city?" What brought Yuan Shao back to reality was a worried voice.
"Huh?" Fortunately, the interest has not been disturbed once or twice, and Yuan Shao is somewhat used to it. He made an accent from his nose and did not answer, for he knew that someone would help him deal with this blindless bull's temper.
"If you don't overcome these two cities, how can you enter Qingzhou? Hunt down the king thief? Feng Ji took the lead in asking rhetorically, the significance of fighting with frustration is not only for personal reasons, but also plays a very positive role in the factional dispute.
There are many kinds of siege purposes, some are for the purpose of occupation, and more are for ensuring security. There are two cities with more than 10,000 troops on the back road, who dares to continue to march.
"What Yuan Tu said is not bad," Frustrated Zhu shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of competing for the limelight, but said worriedly: "However, the Qingzhou army is ready to fight, and the defensive measures in the city must have been fully arranged. ”
"Gonghe still thinks that Wang Yu's return to the army is deliberately luring the enemy, not that there is a change in Qingzhou?" Guo Tu suddenly sneered, and said mockingly: "In this case, why did Gonghe advocate peace that day, so that Wang Xiaothief had room to escape?" ”
Frustrated retorted: "Wang Yu is peacemaker,
is indeed sincere, he led the army to retreat, didn't he just give up Qinghe? ”
"That's what he did on purpose, he just wanted to use this to promote his reputation, forcing the lord to have to destroy himself, his heart is vicious, and he can only be punished!"
"Yes, the king thief is very good at making a fortune, just to take advantage of the lord's benevolence, but some people don't know what to do, and they are bewitched by it, and they repeatedly demolish their own people!"
"You bloody mouths! Feelings are not your hometown, can you let others spoil them? What did those Hu people do in Quang Binh, don't you have eyes to see? I'm embarrassed to say ...... now."
Although Yuan Shao balanced the internal conflict in Jizhou through the power technique, since the contradiction arose, it was difficult to eliminate. It's not impossible to eliminate it. Yuan Shao is best at scheming, but it takes time, and it can't be solved in less than a month.
"Alright, stop arguing!" Seeing the chaos rising again, Yuan Shao was furious, first shouted to stop everyone, and then looked at Fu Zhu: "Now the discussion of entering the army has been decided, and the public is here." You only said that for the sake of today's plan, how can you enter Qingzhou without attacking the city? ”
Frustrated with a sigh in his heart, he said strongly: "The Qingzhou army has fully crossed south three days ago, and after crossing the river, it has been widely deployed. Intercept the sentinels, so our troops do not know anything about their movements. Rashly attacking the city, if it really set up a plan to lure the enemy, when our army is tired, kill back the horse gun, wouldn't the army be in danger? ”
After a pause, he saw that Yuan Shao's face was slightly gentle. It should have listened to the words, and Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "For today's plan, it is better to win with stability. For the plains and the two cities of Gaotang, they were temporarily besieged but not attacked, and they sent elite soldiers and strong generals to explore Henan. Wait for the two partial divisions to come to converge. At that time, it is possible to besiege the city and keep the grain route unblocked. The main army crossed the river and took Licheng directly, forcing the Qingzhou army to come to the decisive battle. ”
Licheng is the northwest gateway of Qingzhou, Wang Yu has been operating here for a long time, and it is very important to send his henchman Xu Huang to be stationed here in recent years. If Licheng is lost, the Jizhou army can go east along the Jishui road, attacking the Dongpingling of Jinan Zhizhi along the way, Gaoyuan of Le'an Zhisuo, and finally pointing to Linzi City in the center of Qingzhou.
Maintaining the integrity of the main force, pointing directly at the vital points of the enemy's army, and giving full play to the superiority in troops, this is the countermeasure of frustration. There is no eye-catching stunning, but there are no obvious flaws.
Yuan Shao groaned and did not answer.
In his own heart, of course, he doesn't like this step-by-step, cautious strategy. In particular, Fu Zhu proposed to send elite soldiers and strong generals as scouts, undoubtedly wanting to use Wen Chou's cavalry to fight a scout battle with Qingzhou.
That's not a good deal, the cavalry of Jizhou, in terms of individual soldier quality, is still much worse than the Qingzhou cavalry from Baima Yicong, although the number of people has the upper hand, but it is fighting on the opponent's territory, which is very dangerous.
There is also Wen Chou, this person is also a person with more courage than brainpower, if he is not careful, he will also follow in the footsteps of Yan Liang, and the cavalry establishment in Jizhou will disappear completely. Wang Yu is good at using cavalry, famous all over the world, there is no cavalry to fight, how to fight the battle in the future?
However, he also knew that the strategy of Frustration was the safest. After suffering so much loss from Wang Yu, he had to restrain the arrogance of his famous family a little and deal with it with twelve points of spirit.
Xu You observed his words and knew that Yuan Shao was unwilling, so he slowly spoke: "But, Gonghe, your strategy is safe enough, but have you ever thought that if Wang Yu returned to the division in a hurry, it was really to deal with the threat of Langya?" If our army delays in advancing, Zang Xuangao fights alone, is taken advantage of by Wang Yu, and the army is defeated or retreats, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity? ”
This is the trouble of dividing and attacking in this era, and if you can't get in touch, and if you don't have a little bit of coordination, it will make one side fall into the dilemma of fighting alone. Zang Ba is an important chess piece of the anti-Qingzhou Alliance, and it is also the only remaining available chess piece, once the opportunity is missed, it is eliminated by Wang Yu, and the Jizhou army can only fight hard if it wants to fight Qingzhou.
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's expression really moved.
He sighed again in his heart, and offered the last trump card: "Don't worry, my lord, although Langya is far away, and it is inconvenient for the news to be transmitted, General Cao has already arranged for this." The military advisor under his command, Xi Zhicai, has arrived in Kaiyang ten days ago, and the light car is simple, Zang Ba has courage and ambition, and he will not be easily taken advantage of by Wang Yu, and the lord can rest assured. ”
"Cao Cao?"
The strategists looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Cao Cao, who had been defeated, would still have such a backhand. That drama Zhicai was not famous earlier, but after entering Cao Ying, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and his edge is exposed, with the help of this person, it is worth tens of thousands of lions, Zang Ba's side, there is really no need to worry too much.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped in the distance and drove straight down the mountain.
Yuan Shao hurriedly asked people to inquire, and after a while, the guards returned, but it was an urgent report sent by Zhang Yang Kuaima. Yuan Shao was shocked and suspicious, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring the messenger up and inquire in detail.
As a result, after reading the emergency report, his face suddenly changed drastically, he threw the letter to the ground, stomped his feet with hatred, and scolded in his mouth: "How can this be true, Uncle Zhang Zhi is incompetent, and he is lonely, it really annoys me!" ”
All the staff members were taken aback, frustrated and did not avoid suspicion, bent down to pick up the letter, and everyone gathered over, and when they saw it, they immediately gasped in unison.
After being taken aback, everyone was in different moods again.
Guo Tu and the others looked frustrated, somewhat gloating.
Seeking stability? Blind now, right? Zhang Yang was crying and shouting for help, how could he still come to converge? A quick fix is the right thing to do.
Where can he care about these guys, his heart is also a mess. Before he could figure out his idea, he saw that there was also a big chaos under Gaotang City, which made him choke in his throat with a sigh of relief.
The house leak happened to rain overnight? What's going on here?
