Chapter 747 The One Who Knows Me is Clear
Under the cold winter night, I don't know how many thoughts are flying, focusing on Wang Yu.
Reason and emotion can never be completely unified, and it is the concrete embodiment of these two emotions that are essentially the same, but often diametrically opposed.
Even in the Qingzhou Army, where there are so many wise men, there is only one Zhuge Liang who can completely isolate these two emotions and analyze the problem completely rationally.
Wang Yu's silence and immobility so far are believed by almost everyone to be proof that he is weighing and thinking. Therefore, including Tai Shici and Wei Yan, all the generals put forward various opinions to Wang Yu from their own perspectives, either asking for battle, or proposing a certain strategy to save people in a roundabout way, or reminding him not to be impulsive, to take risks again, and to come to the battle in person.
Shan Jing will feel hopeless, and it is precisely because in the face of all kinds of persuasion and suggestions, Wang Yu has remained silent, even Xu Huang, who is most familiar with him, and Zhuge Liang, who is the best at analysis, have no way of telling what he is thinking.
In Shan Jing's opinion, Wang Yu really wanted to send troops to rescue, but the grim situation did not allow him to do so. The current situation is obvious, after the loss of Juyong City, the Hu people will definitely retreat in a big way, and then the Qingzhou army will be able to calmly meet and stabilize the situation in Youzhou, so why take the risk now?
Many people have the same idea as Shan Jing, so from the third day, there are fewer and fewer people asking for battle, except for Tai Shici and Wei Yan, only Lu Qiling seems to be the most active, if it weren't for Zhang Liao's repeated reminders and persuasion, the girl might make a coquettish decisive battle, and it would not be known if she was pestering Wang Yu.
There are fewer and fewer people who persuade Wang Yu to take a long-term view and not to take risks, for exactly the same reasons as those who invite battle, but for different reasons. Everyone thought that the lord had made a decision, and the warrior did not want to disobey his command. The counsellors saw no need to continue the nagging.
Therefore, Tai Shici and Wei Yan's joint request for war somewhat had a taste of stalking, and they were unsurprisingly driven out by Wang Yu.
Tai Shi Ci is a straight gut, although Wei Yan likes to take risks, but he is not a scheming city, and the voices of the two of them are not small, and this time there was a lot of movement. Wait until the two of them come out of the castle guard mansion in anger, in the dark. I don't know how many silent sighs came.
"It seems that Wang Pengju is determined not to save Gongsun Zhan...... What a shame. β
"No way, people can't always be immutable, no matter how much you don't like power tricks and conspiracies, power has been held in your hands for a long time, and you always have to change. The Xianbei people lost a lot this time. Danhan Mountain was slaughtered by Zhao Zilong, and there were more than 20,000 people under Juyong City, if the news is correct, Qianman may also be finished......"
"As long as Wang Yu doesn't plan to counterattack in a big way, this battle can end perfectly. Whether it is fame or benefits, he has a lot of money. Not to mention that it is difficult to save Gongsun Zhan, even if it is not, why should he make trouble for himself and save an unruly thorn back? β
"That being said. But in this way, even if we are completely untenable in Youzhou, although with the connections and reputation of the lord, we will be too bad in the plug. But the bitter cold outside the plug is ...... after all Alas! β
"Don't worry, right? It won't take long. Since Wang Pengju began to weigh the pros and cons, he lost his sharpness. It won't be long before he becomes like the other princes. Seal the wolf? Maybe he had such thoughts before the war, but after this war, he himself should know how naΓ―ve this idea is. When he settles down in Youzhou and returns to the Central Plains to compete for power, in a few years, this idea will no longer exist......"
"Don't say much, Yan Hu, you can set off overnight, the sect leader reminded him to prepare for the withdrawal of troops in advance. Gongsun Zhan can't hold out tomorrow, once Juyong City is broken, the Xianbei people will not stay for long, if the Wuhuan army moves slowly, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Second brother don't worry, the younger brother will leave, and tomorrow evening at the latest, I will bring the news at the earliest."
The two dark shadows sighed, discussed, came to a conclusion, and finally parted ways.
If you change the name of each other and the name of the main messenger behind it, you will find that in the darkness, similar conversations are repeated at least a dozen times...... Some have the surname Yan, some have the surname Qi, and there are two surnames Xianyu, and even one with the surname Liu!
The spies agreed that the battle of Youzhou had reached the last moment, so they did not hesitate to risk exposure and sent intelligence in different directions.
Fortunately, the secret agents are very lucky, although with the tense situation, Jixian County has begun martial law, but most of the secret agents still left the city from different channels, very smoothly, only the Qi family was very unlucky to be caught.
But it's nothing, to do secret work, you have to be mentally prepared like this, as long as the information is not leaked. At the same time as it was discovered, the dead soldier of the Qi family directly bit the poison sac hidden in his mouth, although his corpse would leave some clues, but it didn't take the Qingzhou army to find out other clues, and the secret agents had already fully withdrawn from Jixian County.
However, the spies who left the city or did not leave the city did not know that after getting the body of the secret agent, Xu Huang, who was in charge of the city defense, did not investigate in detail, but threw the body away, and went directly to the city guard mansion to meet Wang Yu.
"Lord, after leaving alone, and after He Ziyi and Wen Chang were repulsed, they successively discovered the five secret agents out of the city, and according to your prior orders, only took down one of them, and the messenger was a dead soldier and committed suicide on the spot......"
"Well, I see, Komeito, you're doing well, let's go rest." Wang Yu nodded, and the expression on his face was still unwavering.
ββ¦β¦ Here. Xu Huang hesitated to answer the order, but refused to leave, with a look on his face that wanted to say something and stopped.
Seeing Xu Huang's expression in his eyes, Wang Yu smiled slightly and asked, "What, Gongming, do you want to ask for war too?" β
"Don't dare." Xu Huang bowed and replied: "The lord often says that a warrior should be a war knife, as long as you know what you are fighting for, the only thing left is to move forward bravely." Huang is foolish and does not dare to peek into the will of the lord, just obey the order. However, you are reluctant to take a stand this time...... It really makes people feel at a loss. β
Because he was in charge of city defense, Xu Huang knew more than others.
In these days, Wang Yu has not been completely inactive, in addition to the scouts everywhere, the city defense is loose outside and tight inside, and the spies and spies in the city have been searched and arrested very closely. On the surface, these actions show that Wang Yu intends to block the intelligence of Jixian County, and it seems that he has the intention of adopting Wei Yan's opinion, setting up an empty city plan, and raiding the Xianbei army under Juyong City.
Although it is difficult for Xianbei and Wuhuan to join forces to attack from the east and west, the Qingzhou Army, which is fighting on the inner line, also has the advantage of giving full play to the mobility of the inner line, and it cannot be asserted which is superior or inferior.
The reason why it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the inside line is mainly because there are too many spies in Jixian County and nearby. There is no need to get in touch with the main force of Xianbei, and the movements of the Qingzhou Army in Jixian County are clear.
The biggest flaw in the plan proposed by Wei Yan is that the intelligence cannot be blocked, and there is no way to talk about psychological warfare.
But Xu Huang, who got Wang Yu's detailed order, didn't think so, because Wang Yu's whole city was very incomplete. Although with the help of the Hidden Mist Army, Xu Huang found out a lot of spies and set his sights on several important targets, but he knew very well that it was not complete.
Outsiders don't know, but Xu Huang knows very well that Wei Yan's subordinates have been trained in espionage, but their main direction of attack is special operations, not espionage, and they can't be called professional at all, that is, to fool the layman.
Secondly, the local forces in Youzhou have been operating in Jixian County for an unknown number of years, and they don't know how much eyeliner there is, and they don't know how deep they are buried, which can be described as deep-rooted. Even if Jia Xu and Xu Shu came together, with all the elites of the Hidden Mist Army's spy system, they didn't want to clean up these eyeliners within ten days and a half months.
As long as one slips through the net, it is likely to lead to serious trouble, this kind of plan is not risky, but deliberately into danger! Xu Huang didn't think Wang Yu would be so careless.
Finally, Wang Yu's order itself was problematic.
According to his instructions, Xu Huang's purge operation only dealt with some miscellaneous fish, and the important targets that were really dug up did not even arrange routine stalking, but only asked the lookouts in the city tower to pay attention to those directions.
Reversed? Disinformation? Or do you simply want to disturb the people too much?
Xu Huang was full of suspicions, but even if he discussed it repeatedly with the most resourceful Zhuge Liang, he had no clue about it, especially as time went by, and the situation had become critical.
Fifty miles to the north of Jixian County is Changping County, and from the northwest of Changping to another fifty miles, it is Xiguan, that is, Juyong Pass in later generations, and the distance between Xiguan and Juyong City is also fifty miles.
For a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, the infantry would take two days at the earliest, and if one took into account the need to maintain a state of readiness for battle, it would not be surprising to walk for four or five days. If Wang Yu used false information to conceal the world, then he not only had to have the confidence to defeat the 100,000 Hu cavalry head-on, but also had to have confidence in Gongsun Zhan, believing that the other party would be able to support him for at least three more days.
But that's not possible.
Whether it is the observation of the scouts of the Qingzhou Army or Zou Dan's letter asking for help, they all clearly express the same point of view, if there is no accident, tomorrow will be the time when Gongsun Chan will die.
Even if he leaves immediately, before Gongsun Chan dies in battle, at most, only the Iron Cavalry and the Hidden Mist Army can rush to the battlefield - since entering Youzhou, among the captured trophies, there are very few grain and grass equipment, but there are many war horses, and there is no pressure at all to organize a thousand cavalry to come out.
Therefore, Xu Huang was puzzled and didn't understand at all, what did the lord want to do? But he would never believe that Wang Yu's seemingly contradictory actions were just because of hesitation and hesitation in his heart.
It was not the Wang Pengju he knew, nor was it the hussar general who made many of his colleagues willing to die with his courage and bravery!
Facing Xu Huang's question, Wang Yu was silent for a moment, suddenly stepped down from his seat, stroked Xu Huang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Those who know me, Gongming also." β
