After Yang Fu finished washing, he once again came to Dong Shouye's Chinese army tent.

When Dong Shouye saw it, Yang Fu in front of him looked twenty-four or five years old, his figure was a little thin, but he was very bright, and he was generous with his gestures, which made people look very comfortable.

After entering the big tent, Yang Fu officially gave Dong Shouye a gift, and the two sides were polite again.

Let's get straight to the point.

I only heard Yang Fu take the lead and said: "The general led the troops to come this time, but why didn't he choose to enter the city of Ji, sleeping in the wind and frost outside the city, it was hard, and after entering the county, the soldiers could also rest well." ”

Dong Shouye didn't say anything when he heard this, he didn't think the other party had any good intentions, in Dong Shouye's opinion, it was very simple to enter Ji County, but after entering, if the shape was unfavorable, it would be difficult to get out. Although the conditions outside the city are a little difficult, everything is under their control, and if there is any accident, they can also plan early, whether they fight or retreat, they can withdraw in time.

Although Dong Shouye was quite interested in the Yang Fu in front of him, he was unwilling to change his established strategy because of this. But he was unwilling to refuse Yang Fu directly, so he didn't speak out.

Du Ji under his command replied on behalf of Dong Shouye at this time: "Yang joins the army and says this is wrong, our army is stationed outside Ji County, which happens to be at a horn with Ji County, Han Sui and Ma Teng will not dare to act rashly." ”

When Yang Fu heard this, he asked, "Dare to ask the name of your family?" ”

Du Ji replied: "Jingzhao Du Ji Du Bohou." ”

Yang Fu gave a salute to Du Ji and said, "It turned out to be Brother Bohou!" Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

For Yang Fu, the best result must be that Dong Shouye led the army into the city, so that the number of people in Ji County increased, and the certainty of holding was greater, and Dong Shouye's identity was special, as long as he entered the city, it was equivalent to tying the Xiliang Army and Ji County together, as long as Ji County saved zài for one day, the support of the Xiliang Army would continue to increase.

On the contrary, if Dong Shouye does not enter the city, then the Xiliang army will have more space to move, and the big deal is that if it can't be defeated, it will retreat.

Yang Fu paused and said: "Qi Dong Zhengxi, since the soldiers and civilians of Ji County learned that the general led the troops to help, they were all overjoyed, and they desperately wanted to see the legendary young general who was extremely brave. If the army does not enter the city, will it not be a great disappointment to the soldiers and civilians of the city? ”

Dong Shouye smiled and said, "After our army defeats the enemy, it's not too late to enter the city?" ”

Yang Fu wanted to continue to say something, but Du Yi directly said: "Today, Yang joined the army and risked his life to come, he must have a confidant to do, but in order to discuss how the two armies can only cooperate in battle?" ”

Yang Fu saw Du Yi divert the topic, and saw that Dong Shouye didn't say anything, and immediately understood that Dong Shouye's refusal to enter the city was a strategy that had been discussed a long time ago, even if he said that it was useless.

With Yang Fu's brilliant mind, it would be more beneficial for Dong Shouye's army not to enter the city. I don't want to continue to insist on it at the moment.

Yang Fu asked again: "I don't know how many people the general brought with him when he came to Ji County this time?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: There are more than 50,000 men and horses in total, including 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. When Yang Fu heard this, he immediately reassured himself, these 50,000 horses are a lot, although Han Sui and Ma Teng gathered 100,000 people, but there were many rabble, there was no problem with the Great Shunfeng battle, but once the war was frustrated, the combat effectiveness of the army would drop sharply, or even collapse, and its combat power would be unstable. Although Dong Shouye only has 50,000 horses, they are all well-trained and from the regular army, unlike Han Sui and Ma Teng, who are all half-and-half hangers in the army.

He asked again: "I don't know how the general needs the military and civilians of Ji County to cooperate?" ”

The current situation is that Dong Shouye has the absolute right to speak, and it can be said that he controls the life and death of the soldiers and civilians in Ji County, so the war must be dominated by the army under Dong Shouye, and the soldiers and civilians in Ji County have to cooperate, so Yang Fu will have such a saying!

When Dong Shouye heard this, he smiled and said: "I don't dare to cooperate, Wei Liangzhou is not lower than me, the general of Zhengxi, in terms of age, he is Dong's elder." However, since the two armies cooperate, they must pay attention to coordinated scheduling and maintain consistency. After the end of the battle began, Ben Gongzi hoped that the soldiers in Ji County would not act without authorization, and that the main thing would be to contain the enemy army. The more enemies we contain, the less pressure we will put on us, and the more likely we will be able to defeat them. ”

Yang Fu nodded and said, "What does the general have for my Ji County soldiers?" ”

Dong Shouye shook his head and said: "I don't dare to make a request, I just hope that the soldiers in the city will continue to expand their combat readiness, prepare for long-term battles, collect more materials for defending the city, and it is best to prepare a reserve of 3,000 to 5,000 people, and pull out the troops from time to time to let the enemy know." ”

Yang Fu asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" Only by preserving strength and not letting the opponent know and giving the enemy a fatal blow by surprise at a critical moment can it play a powerful role, even a decisive role, in the battle situation. ”

Dong Shouye replied: "At present, the strength of the two sides is almost equal, so it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent in a short period of time, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the purpose of showing strength is to make the opponent have scruples and dare not attack the city lightly, so that not only can the enemy's strength be contained, but also the casualties of his own troops can be reduced, so wouldn't it be better?" ”

Yang Fu said: "In this way, the war period will be extended, and how can we defeat the enemy?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: "Wait patiently, and after the opponent makes a mistake, our army will seize the opportunity to storm the enemy." ”

In Dong Shouye's view, although the rebels of Han Sui and Ma Teng are huge, they have a fatal problem, that is, the problem of grain and grass. Although Dong Shouye's Xiliang army is not very rich in food and grass, but Han Sui and Ma Teng's rebels are even worse in this regard, as long as Dong Shouye can resist the opponent's early attack and drag the war to a tug-of-war, the enemy will inevitably have a shortage of food and grass, and then it will be an opportunity to counterattack. At that time, Han Sui and Ma Teng ran out of food, the troops were unstable and became chaotic, and Dong Shouye would show his might with the army.

In history, this situation has happened many times, and Dong Shouye is more related to Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao was in charge of the Xiliang Army, Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Li Dao, Li Dao chose to hold on, and when Ma Teng and Han Sui ran out of food, they began to retreat, at this time Li Dao attacked decisively, Ma Teng Han Sui was really defeated, if it were not for Han Sui's fellow countryman Fan Chou to show mercy to Han Sui's subordinates, Han Sui almost lost his life.
