"What are you going to do?" Wang Yu pinched his eyebrows, looked left and right, and asked the staff.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, not being defeated in a hundred battles, and the important surname of intelligence, cannot be described enough. You know, even if you know in advance that there is an extra stream on the battlefield that can be jumped over, or a low earthen ridge, it can lead to great changes in battle. If you can make the enemy count nothing, then naturally you will win easily.

Generally speaking, the sentinel battle will not be so fierce, both sides are reconnaissance, there is no need to fight to the death, and the equipment carried with you is mainly light. But Cao Jun's rangers are not only equipped with a large number of crossbows, but also prepared shields, which are here to investigate, they are simply here to fight!

Wang Yu didn't know what kind of thoughtfulness Cao Ying had thought about, but to be honest, Lao Cao Ying's move was really a bit unexpected to him.

Military strategists throughout the ages have paid attention to strategy, and the reason why they put strategy in the front is because strategy is used more frequently and more commonly, and in small-scale battles, individual bravery and resourcefulness can be fully brought into play.

However, when the scale of the war rises to more than 10,000 people, the usefulness of the strategy is very low, and the whereabouts of tens of thousands of people cannot be hidden, and there is no terrain for tens of thousands of people to ambush. One side ambushed tens of thousands of people in the mountains, and the enemy walked in without realizing it, which is a plot that can only appear in novels and TV dramas.

After the scale of the war reaches a certain level, in addition to the overall strength, the competition between the two sides mainly depends on the overall strategy, that is, the so-called 'potential'.

With proper strategic deployment, even if we suffer losses on the local battlefield, we still have the hope of winning back and turning defeat into victory; on the other hand, even if we win a hundred battles on the local battlefield, we will not be able to reverse the general trend after all, and we can only end up hating. The overall battle situation of Chu and Han was a good example.

The competition strategy is actually the so-called yang conspiracy, and many things are put on the surface. Just as Wang Yu made a four-way deployment in front of all allied forces to launch a strategy for the Central Plains, the movement of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could not be concealed at all, and there was nothing to hide. His strategic intentions are very clear, and how to deal with them ultimately depends on how the other party understands.

It is not difficult to determine where the main force of the Cao army is.

Cao Ying also put on a posture of decisive battle, with a brigade of 100,000 people, he was also cautious and vigilant step by step. Not to mention raising food, but to raise horse grass and firewood, it is a big difficulty, so the local army naturally can't go fast, and naturally there is no way to hide and suspect soldiers for the surname.

Everyone in the world knows that the main force of Cao Jundi was divided into three routes, all the way to gather near the Tiger Prison Pass in Xingyang, all the way to Ruying and Chenliu, and all the way to advance into Shanyang and reinforce Guo Gong.

Because of this, it is strange that Cao Ying spread the ranger so far and had such a resolute attitude.

The great name of the wind cavalry, the battle record is also there, even if there are more recruits at the beginning of the contact, the attitude is also a little lax, Cao Jun rangers still did not take any advantage, Cao Ying has no intention behind this move.

The reason behind this does not seem to be very important, and there is no need to discuss it solemnly, but the real strategic intentions of the enemy are often hidden in these details, and if they are not clear, it is indeed difficult to reassure.

What Wang Yu wants to find out most now is whether Cao Ying also wants to fight a quick battle, so that the soldiers and horses of Chen Liu and Luoyang will go north and east respectively, gather in one place, and then start a decisive battle.

If so, it couldn't be better.

The four major battlefields are too separated, except for the two in the Central Plains, if there is an accident in other battlefields, it is difficult to respond in time. As far as Wang Yu's heart is concerned, he still wants to be simple and come directly to the main battle, but since Cao Ying has pulled so many helpers, the probability of resisting shirtless first is very low.

There may be a conspiracy in this!

The simplest routine is that Cao Yingming repaired the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, and wanted to rely on the cover of the rangers to make Qingzhou's side misjudge his strategic intentions, change the all-out attack to a cautious temptation, and take the opportunity to divide the troops to the east, strengthen the strength of Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian's partial division, and break Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong first.

But again, in a war of this magnitude, such tactics are of little use. Unless Wang Yu is also a scholar like Zhao Kuo, it is impossible to change the overall strategy because of such a trivial matter.

Not to mention that Zhao Yun, the vanguard, directly strengthened the intensity of reconnaissance after the outpost battle on the first day, without any delay at all. If Cao Ying really divided his troops, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for the good news from the East Road battlefield, and the main army in Yanzhou would have been completely defeated.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a clue, Wang Yu simply gathered everyone and brainstormed directly.

"Cao Jun's previous deployment should have been made for a full-scale war in the autumn and winter of next year, and it will indeed take about a year to thoroughly digest the results of the two places in Guanzhong and Jingzhou, and now the war is a little earlier for him, I think, will he be bluffing and trying to delay time?"

Jia Xu started and threw out a not very mature idea, and everyone immediately expressed their opinions.

Except for Zhao Yun, who is the forward, all the generals are in the Chinese army, plus the two major strategists Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, and the recorder Lu Xun, this military discussion is still quite large-scale.

"Procrastinating for time? Well, it makes sense, in fact, our army's preparation is not sufficient, grain reserves and troop deployment are not optimal, if Cao Ying really gathers two troops and horses to launch a fierce attack, it is impossible to say, our army will also shrink slightly. ”

"But no matter how much he delays, he can't delay it for a whole year, according to a certain opinion, that Cao Mengde is scheming, maybe he is really planning some conspiracy, such as attracting the attention of our army to Chenliu, Luoyang's soldiers and horses to cross the river, and sweep away Hanoi Zhang Yang first?"

"What's the use of attacking Zhang Yang now? As long as Zhang Yang lasts two or three days, our army will be locked up in the Tiger Prison, will the soldiers and horses going to Hanoi have time to come back to rescue? Aren't you afraid that we will give him a reinforcement? ”

"In my opinion, it's still too early to say this, why don't you wait for Zilong to come back with accurate information, and then make a decision?"

"Then it's too late, such a big battle, only one step behind, that is, step by step, and in the end you can only be led by the nose. If it weren't for Liu Jingsheng's attempt to survive in death, he wouldn't have started a fight now. ”

"Although our army's light cavalry is strong, there is no need for such piecemeal consumption, right? If the damage is too great, wouldn't the threat be greatly reduced? Maybe Cao Ying is willing to fight with us, anyway, most of his light horses are picked up for nothing, and he doesn't feel distressed if he loses it. ”

There are different opinions, each with its own reason, and for a while there is no agreement.

Wang Yu listened intently for a moment, and roughly had an idea in his heart, raised his hand and pressed down, and everyone immediately stopped their voices and looked at it in unison.

Wang Yu said in a deep voice: "For the time being, we will still act according to the original plan, pass on Zilong, and overwhelm the opponent's reconnaissance cavalry as soon as possible, find out the reality of the Cao army, and divide the army into two ways, Wen Ze led the army to enter the sour jujube first, build a defense line on the spot, shield the flank of the main force, and the main force will be led by the general himself, cross the river in Kuangcheng, capture Fengqiu and Junyi, enter Chen Liucheng, and force Cao Ying to fight a decisive battle!" The generals should quickly reorganize their troops and horses and set off immediately. ”

"The last general commands!" The generals answered in unison.

There may be too many surnames, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment, Wang Yu simply let go of it first, regardless of your thousands of schemes, I will only kill all the way and force you to respond.

As for whether the advance will be too hasty, leaving a flaw, and being caught by the two Cao armies that are Qijiao of each other, or the light cavalry copying the back road, Wang Yu doesn't care much, anyway, he arranged Lu Bu's Puyang army behind, Cao Ying dares to outflank with light cavalry, just wait to be caught by the wolf cavalry and the trapping camp.

Of course, for the time being, the Wind Cavalry completely overwhelmed the Cao Army's light cavalry, and the most important thing was to find out the truth and the truth.

Wang Yu and Zhao Yun made the same decision, and the next day, the Wind Cavalry also sent a whole team of cavalry, which was no longer a mutual inquiry, but a small group of cavalry robbing each other.

Within a few days, the cavalry sent by both sides gradually changed from small teams to large groups, and with the arrival of subsequent brigades, it gradually evolved into cavalry battles of about 1,000 people, and the tactics became diverse.

Five days later, on the afternoon of Pushui, the largest ambush broke out in Kuangting between Kuangcheng and Pucheng on the east bank of Pushui. It was Cao's army, which had nearly 800 horsemen, and he ambushed a storm cavalry of almost 500 people.

The Qingzhou Army led the team with the deputy general Qin Feng, and the Cao army was led by Li Tong, the general of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Qin Feng is the old team of Bai Ma Yicong, who is only in his thirties, but he has been fighting for 20 years, and it is said that he has a lot of military experience, so he should not fall for this kind of strategy. But he is a crazy surname, and after seeing Wang Yu's instructions of 'stronger and stronger', he is even more out of control, full of energy, as long as he sees the enemy horse, it is endless.

Under his leadership, in the recent cavalry robbery and killing battle, the wind cavalry played an extremely fierce momentum, and in the case of less than 500 casualties on their side, they achieved 900 heads, which may not be overwhelming, but the advantage is already obvious.

I thought that I would completely hurt Cao Jun in one go, but I didn't think that if I didn't pay attention, I would be calculated by the enemy.

This time, he originally arranged a bait to attract a team of about 200 enemy horsemen, ready to annihilate the opponent. As a result, the other party turned around and ran despite the lack of horsepower, and crossed the water from the shallows, so that he did not escape.

The enemy didn't flee, and Qin Feng couldn't be happy, because more than five hundred cavalry were killed on the opposite side. Looking at the other party's solemn appearance, judging by his years of experience, those two hundred people are also bait, and he was pecked instead of fighting geese.

"There's no way to get out of the game."

If you turn around and leave, you will sell your back to the other party, and I am afraid that the casualties will be greater at that time.

Qin Feng spat hatefully and shouted: "Brothers, prepare to fight, kill all these turtle grandchildren, and let them completely understand who is stronger!" ”
