Chapter 52: The Wisdom of Famous Generals
Gao Shun, who was already in the excitement, didn't pay attention to Wang Xu's stunned face at all, but thought that Wang Xu was testing him. immediately replied: "Wang Senjun shook his head just now must have a deep meaning, but he was stupid and thought hard for a long time before he understood, I am really ashamed!" ”
Wang Xu's face was rarely red, but he also reacted because of this. Gao Shun must not be allowed to underestimate him, and the position he has finally established in his heart must be stabilized.
But he himself was now curious, eager to know what was going on. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but pretend to be a teachable child, and nodded with a gratifying face: "Hehe! General Gao has a brilliant understanding, and it is really commendable to understand it so quickly, but I don't know where you have thought of it? ”
Hearing this, Gao Shun did not hesitate, and opened his mouth and said: "General Huangfu's prestige is spread all over the world, of course, it is impossible not to see the defeat of Bocai. But he deliberately fell into it, and his purpose was nothing more than to seek defeat, and wouldn't this defeat have the same effect as Bocai's strategy? This is the real deception, the plan is the plan, how can the thief of Bocai see through it? ”
The more he talked, the more excited Gao Shun didn't care about Wang Xu's somewhat changing face, and continued: "That's not all, this plan is shown, and our army will be defeated and retreated." Bocai saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he must abandon Yingyin and pursue all the way! Isn't this the solution to the siege of Yingyin? Moreover, presumably General Huangfu has already made a backup move, and when this wave is careless and reckless, he will give him a fatal blow! It's a triple win! ”
Wang Xu's heart almost jumped out at the moment, what kind of person is this? Can you come up with this kind of anti-heaven scheme? I always thought that I was extremely smart, but now it seems that if I didn't have a little more knowledge of the afterlife, I really wanted to fight......
Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly felt a little creepy! He was not in the mood to chat with Gao Shun, so he immediately ordered: "Gao Shun, since you already know the cause and effect, then you should go down and prepare for life now!" In the early hours of tomorrow morning, don't delay the time to retreat, if you are trapped in the battle formation, you will be wronged! ”
"No!"
Nodding, the excitement on Gao Shun's face did not subside, he bowed respectfully to Wang Xu, and walked out quickly.
Wang Xu was not slow, and when he saw Gao Shun leaving, he immediately turned over and stood up, and without saying a word, he quickly rushed to Huangfu Song's big tent......
As soon as he entered the Huangfu Song tent, he saw that he was the only one sitting behind the handsome case and pondering, Wang Xu immediately opened his mouth and asked: "General Huangfu, there is something unknown to the lower officials, so I have come to ask for advice!" ”
"Huh?"
When Huangfu Song heard this, he couldn't help but look up. After seeing that the person who came was Wang Xu, he smiled slightly and said, "What is the matter with Wang joining the army?" ”
Wang Xu did not hesitate, turned around and pulled down the curtain of the big tent, and took a step forward in Huangfu Song's puzzled gaze and said: "General Huangfu, I don't know that during today's military discussion, the plan of action you said will be calculated?" ”
Huangfu Song's eyes flashed, and he suddenly looked at Wang Xu in surprise. But then he pretended to be confused and asked, "Why did Wang join the army say this?" ”
Seeing Huangfu Song's face just now, Wang Xu had already determined seven or eight points in his heart, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Why should the general hide it, could it be that the general still wants to say that he didn't see the clumsy trick of the thief general Bocai?" ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song immediately burst out laughing. looked at Wang Xu with satisfaction and said: "I can't imagine that you are the only one in our army who can have such insight, what a hero and a young man!" ”
"Huh!"
Wang Xu's brain nerves have not yet died, of course, it is impossible to say what Gao Shun also understands. So I smiled and calmly accepted the compliment.
Huangfu Song didn't care, and looked Wang Xu up and down for a while, before he smiled and continued: "Since you have already seen it, why didn't you say it in the previous military discussion?" ”
Seeing that the other party asked this somewhat familiar question, Wang Xu also cheekily copied Gao Shun's answer: "Although I saw the clues, I didn't think of a solution. And looking at the general's usual behavior, he must already know, so there is no need to say it. ”
"What a Wang Xu, it's really rare to have such a bearing at such a young age!" As expected, as soon as these words came out, Huangfu Song couldn't help but praise immediately.
"Huh! General Huangfu has won the award! ”
After speaking, Wang Xu was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was really embarrassed to continue pretending, so he immediately changed the topic.
"I am here because of the arrangement of the general today. I really can't understand why the general would use the trick of defeat, although the siege of Yingchuan can be relieved, but it seems that it is not easy to defeat Bocai! And this plan is too dangerous, once you fail to grasp the changes in the battle situation, it is very likely to turn deceit into real defeat! ”
Seeing that Wang Xu was so shrewd, Huangfu Song did not hide it, and immediately explained: "Actually, this is just like what I said in the military discussion just now, there is no way to do it. Yingyin is a strategic location and must not be lost. If it falls, the Yellow Turban will use it as a stronghold, and it will definitely be like a bamboo, all the way south. At that time, the main force of the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan will converge with the Yellow Turban in Nanyang County, and the consequences will be unimaginable. And we have been waiting here for more than half a month, and there is no way to break the enemy, so for the time being, we can only lure the other party away in this way. At the same time, because I knew that this plan was dangerous, I had already sent someone back to Kyoto to ask for help, and at present, His Majesty had sent Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, to send troops, so I was completely prepared and free from worries! ”
"Oh? So how does General Huangfu plan to defeat Bocai? ”
Hearing this, Huangfu Song sighed and shook his head slowly: "This is exactly what I'm worried about!" I have discussed many times with Gongwei (Zhu Jun's character), but I have never thought of a good way. That's why I decided to temporarily defeat the enemy, retreat to the Changshe first, and wait for Bocai to be arrogant before seeking a way to break the enemy, which is better than a stalemate here. ”
So it turned out, Wang Xu finally knew the whole story, and he couldn't imagine that history would be like this. It was precisely because of Zhu Jun's defeat that he had the arrogance of the Yellow Turban, and after gradually losing his cautiousness, he didn't care about whether the camping place had hidden dangers. Because of this, there was a later move by Huangfu Song to wait for the times to change and burn the long society. This is the art of war in the face of danger......
Thinking of this, Wang Xu really had respect for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun from the bottom of his heart. Although the demise of the Yellow Turban Rebellion has many complex historical reasons, it also has its inevitability. But if there are no loyal ministers and good generals of these two big men to turn the tide, the Yellow Turban may not have the possibility of separating one side!
Ay! It's a pity that the fate of these two loyal ministers in the future is a bit tragic......
But now is not the time to think so far, Wang Xu slowly came back to his senses after quietly looking at the majestic general for a long time. "General Huangfu, since Yingyin is so important, aren't you afraid that other small groups of yellow turbans will take the opportunity to seize the city? There aren't many soldiers who want to come to Yingyin City! Otherwise, even if Bocai, who was attacked from three sides, had an army of 100,000, I am afraid that with the ability of a general, it would have already been destroyed. ”
"Hey!"
Sighing deeply, Huangfu Song nodded lightly and said, "Indeed, as you said, there are not many soldiers in Yingyin City, and the total number of soldiers is less than five thousand. Moreover, almost all of them were defeated remnants of troops withdrawn from various places, and there was not enough combat effectiveness in a short period of time. If it weren't for the fact that there were many lords of the Yingyin Hao clan, who sent soldiers and retainers to help in the war, they would have fallen before we arrived! ”
But then, Huangfu Song smiled with relief: "But you don't have to worry too much, as long as the Bocai army is successfully lured away by us, as long as the other Yellow Turbans have no more than 40,000 troops, it is impossible to take Yingyin!" ”
"Oh? What does General Huangfu mean by this? ”
"Huh! You are still young, you may not know very well, this Yingchuan County has been a place of outstanding people since ancient times! Now there are three people in this Yingyin City who are extremely outstanding, although they are not very old, they are already famous people in the world! As long as they are there, although it is impossible to do much due to the actual situation, it is more than enough to be conservative! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately wondered what kind of person could get such praise as Huangfu Song. I couldn't help asking: "With a messy personal army and a defeated general with a remnant army, how can you get such trust from General Huangfu?" I think it must be very human, but I don't know which three people it is? ”
Huangfu Song smiled faintly, but the next words made Wang Xu almost drool......
