Chapter 151: Constant Fighting
Guan Yu's earnest words said that Dong Zhuo's previous interest was completely gone, and his originally relaxed expression became solemn again, after listening to Guan Yu's analysis of the future military situation, Dong Zhuo's previous concept of pleasure was completely gone, he would not understand the direction of the war, Guan Yu was right, this war is still ahead, if he retreats now, it will directly affect the morale of the army, the current situation is not optimistic, if he loses the good situation because he is greedy for pleasure for a while, It's not worth it to lose the fruits of so many years of hard work because of your temporary greed! It's really not worth it!
Dong Zhuo likes women, but compared with power, he prefers the latter, otherwise he would not have come to this point and is step by step, what he has been pursuing for so many years is not women but precisely status and power, because there is everything, because there is a woman, if there is no this, everything else is nothing, women are just a plaything in the final analysis, and once the power is lost, Dong Zhuo is equivalent to the end of political life, which is more important and which is more important will soon have a result
Dong Zhuo decided to stay in the Tiger Prison Pass after repeated considerations, this is the second time he was persuaded by Guan Yu to stay in the Tiger Prison Pass, this time Guan Yu succeeded, his words woke up the "dream man", Dong Zhuo was finally moved by him, in view of Dong Zhuo's deep trust in Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's God-like planning over the years and Guan Yu's extraordinary influence in the army, Guan Yu's words Dong Zhuo generally adopted, this time he accepted Guan Yu's opinion again and decided to stay in the Tiger Prison Pass to compete with the Kwantung Army.
Guan Yu successfully explained Dong Zhuo, this is the second time to recommend, the previous time Dong Zhuo decided to withdraw because he was worried that the tiger prison would not be able to hold it, and this time Dong Zhuo chose to leave because he was carried away by the temporary victory. Dong Zhuo always wants to escape, and it is not a way to do this in the long run, he must think of a perfect strategy to stabilize Dong Zhuo's position, doesn't Dong Zhuo just want to have fun? Why do you have to go back by yourself, it's better to get those women to the tiger prison so that he can enjoy himself. In this way, he can sit in the tiger prison and sit still, how can a man understand, especially for a womanizer like Dong Zhuo, if he solves such a little thing, he will not run away again, it's as simple as that!
But Guan Yu was worried again, what were you worried about? That is to bring him a woman, he Dong Zhuo is in a hurry to have fun every day and delays the war, but he thinks that there should be no problem with this, as long as he is in Dong Zhuo, he will not be messed up, and the war will not be wasted. As a young man, he is a young man who is dedicated to his career, and he has the energy to command all this, if Dong Zhuo really lets himself go, he will be able to do everything, and there is nothing bad about it, not to mention that he has accumulated rich military experience over the years, and has taken on the heavy responsibility of military command many times, so Guan Yu is still quite confident in himself
Guan Yu made up his mind and found Dong Zhuo in private. After telling Dong Zhuo about this idea, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard it: "Yun Chang really knows my intentions!" I thought so too! ”
"Then I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!" Guan Yu said.
Dong Zhuo continued: "This matter doesn't need to be left to others without Yun Chang's concern." Yun Chang should spare some time to ponder more military affairs! These miscellaneous things are handled by others! ”
"That's fine! In fact, I have already thought of countermeasures to deal with the Kwantung Army! Guan Yu continued.
Dong Zhuo was curious when he heard this: "Oh? Yes! Tell me about it? ”
"From the big prison is equivalent to choking the neck of the Kwantung Army, so that they can not advance, now I have seriously carried out a comparison, we still have 250,000 people and horses, and the Kwantung Army is 280,000, it can be said that the two sides are almost the same in terms of quantity. We are slightly less than the Kwantung Army, but the strength is generally equal, and there are still 6 generals on our side who can be handled, and there are more than ten such generals on the Kwantung Army, which is slightly inferior to the Kwantung Army in this sense. The fact that the number of generals is inferior to the Kwantung Army is worthy of recognition, and it is also our disadvantage, but don't forget, what is it? That is our geographical advantage, this geographical advantage is the Tiger Pass, this Tiger Pass is not only a barrier but also a solid rear, with him we can successfully block the 280,000 Kwantung Army outside the city, which can also become an advantage for us to give food and grass, this is the second; The third point is also a very important point, that is, we can raise the rear, and will not worry about being attacked, which the Kwantung Army is incomparable, this strategically speaking, what we have to do is to defend the Tiger Pass, as I said before, as long as I hold the Tiger Pass, I rely on this Tiger Pass to fight with the Kwantung Army indefinitely, we don't need to worry about supplies, Luoyang is our stable rear can provide us with a steady stream of military supplies, and the Kwantung Army is different, they come from afar, supply difficulties, It needs to be turned around from elsewhere, so they are good at quick battles, and we only need to give full play to our advantages to turn their quick battles into protracted battles, then the Kwantung Army will not be delayed for a long time and will retreat, this is the so-called Tianshi! The fourth and most important point is what? That is, the Kwantung Army is a coalition army that was pieced together by the princes of the Eighteen Routes, and the alliance leader Yuan Shao is a person who is resourceful and decisive, given his character shortcomings, this alliance will not last long, so as long as it is delayed indefinitely, this alliance will be self-defeating, which is a very fatal place for them; Based on the above analysis, I think we have very favorable conditions in many aspects, as long as we can hold on, I think it is a matter of time before we defeat the Kwantung Army, we should not rush to fight with the Kwantung Army quickly, but we must ponder and deal with them, and give them a beating from time to time, as the so-called: the enemy is tired and I forgive, the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy lacks and I fight, as long as we persist, we will win! ”
Guan Yu's long talk hit the nail on the head, and hit the nail on the head to explain the pros and cons of the confrontation between the two armies, and made a detailed statement from the strategic aspect. The entire Yilu Wang is alive, Sun Wu has been reborn, and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are just like that! Dong Zhuo really admires the young man in front of him! I am even more pleased and proud to have such talents around me.
Dong Zhuo heard Guan Yu's words and said: "What Yun Chang said is too good, just do what you say, I, Dong Zhuo, will fight with the Kwantung Army to the end, and I will never back down!" ”
Dong Zhuo was told by Guan Yu that he was determined to fight with the Kwantung Army to the end, and Dong Zhuo also authorized Guan Yu to take charge of the daily military affairs of the Tiger Prison Pass, and became Dong Zhuo's deputy hand to handle military affairs. Guan Yu instructed Wen Ping, Zhang Liao, and Li Yan to supervise and command the strengthening of the city defense fortifications of Tiger Pass, and asked the three to allocate grain and grass to repair the damaged city defenses before, so as to lay a solid foundation for a protracted war in the future.
Guan Yu made a serious comparison between the enemy and us in terms of strategy, as the saying goes, "knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles", after analyzing the situation, Guan Yu began to plan tactical affairs, how to completely defeat the Kwantung Army? Guan Yu also needs to come up with a specific implementation plan, as a battle-hardened veteran Guan Yu has a lot of experience in military affairs, these are valuable assets for his reference, Guan Yu began to plan in his temporary place
But said that Yuan Shao's side after a rest, decided to attack the Tiger Pass again, the Kwantung Army also conducted a serious analysis of the current military situation, Yuan Shao and the princes jointly studied and discussed countermeasures, the princes are still constantly arguing, for a while can not reach a unified opinion, but everyone has reached a consensus, what consensus? That is, the great army is in a quick battle, and it cannot be delayed for a long time, this is the only agreement reached by the princes.
The Kwantung Army assembled again, there were as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses quickly pressed towards the Tiger Prison Pass, the news quickly spread to the Tiger Prison Pass Guan Yu, Guan Yu learned that the Kwantung Army was pressed again, so he convened the generals to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, Guan Yu said to the generals: "This time against the enemy, I decided to have a-for-tat duel with the Kwantung Army, this time the challenge before the battle was faced by me and General Zhang Liao!" The two generals Li Su and Li Yan were left behind in the Tiger Prison Pass to supervise the city fortifications, and the rest of the generals followed me down to meet the enemy! After Guan Yu finished arranging, he began to prepare.
But it was said that Dong Zhuo was in the house and learned the news with the beautiful woman sent from Luoyang, and he was no longer interested, he hurriedly found Guan Yu and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang! I don't object to you fighting the enemy in a decisive battle, but there's no need to fight in person! What if something goes wrong? Dong Zhuo said worriedly.
"Don't worry, lord! This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, I've wanted to fight before, and I've been waiting until now, this time I have to frustrate the morale of the Kwantung Army, and make them retreat in the face of difficulties, even if they don't retreat, they won't dare to provoke easily! Guan Yu replied.
Dong Zhuo persuaded: "Yun Chang! Now that you're the manager, it's too hasty to ignore your body, if you make a mistake? Wouldn't I be in danger? ”
"Rest assured, the lord has his own nature, I have galloped on the battlefield for so many years, how many times have I been born and died, and it will be fine!" Guan Yu insisted.
Dong Zhuo saw that Guan Yu insisted on going to war, so he said: "Since Yun Chang insists on going to war, I will also go to the battlefield this time to sit in the Chinese army and cheer for you!" ”
"The lord's willingness to fight in person is the luck of Yun Chang and the luck of the three armies!" Guan Yu complimented.
After the discussion, Guan Yu found Zhang Liao again, and Zhang Liao advised: "This time I will take the lead, if I make a mistake or have an accident, you will go to help as soon as possible and help me get out of the predicament." All right? ”
"No problem, General! Even if you don't say I'll do it! Zhang Liao replied.
Guan Yu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, just like that, Guan Yu arranged and distributed, just waiting for the fierce battle in the coming day (to be continued.) )
