CHAPTER XXXIV
On the second day, Sun Jian's troops continued to fight under the city, and Sun Jian even ordered his high-voiced soldiers to abuse and humiliate Zhao Hong and the Yellow Turbans with all kinds of expletives. Obviously, this is Xu Ji's agitation method, as long as Zhao Hong or even just the general of the Yellow Turban can't hold back his anger, he will inevitably want to lead the troops out of the city, and Xu Ji is very confident that Bocai, who has suffered a big loss, will inevitably stop him, and this is undoubtedly good news for Xu Ji, preventing Zhao Hong and his subordinates from fighting will inevitably cause Bocai to incur more and more dissatisfaction and lead to more mustard.
And soon after, the news from Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song also said that Sun Jian was needed, because Qin Jie and Xu Xuan still needed time to assemble, although Zhu Jun and Huang Fu Song were skeptical about the number of soldiers and horses that the two of them could draw, but now it is obvious that the more the better, and Sun Jian, who did not say anything about it, also understood: they are cooperating with Xu Ji and giving Xu Ji a stage to let go. And Sun Jian is of course also happy to deal with the yellow scarves of Wancheng, just as Xu Ji expected, the yellow scarves of Wancheng will never go out of the city before they are not sure about the number and whereabouts of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's soldiers and horses, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's idea is to delay time as much as possible, they are giving Xu Ji more time, and this is no less than a big gamble, for Xu Ji, all he needs is time, as long as he is suspicious for a lifetime, then naturally, Wancheng Yellow Turban will have flaws, and Xu Ji's self-confidence is the number of Sun Jian's department, yes, There are only 2,000 people for more than 100,000 yellow scarves, which is no less than a drop in the ocean, and Sun Jian is still acting recklessly without scruples under their noses, Xu Ji doesn't believe that anyone can let go of such "fat".
And Xu Ji's goal was indeed achieved, Zhao Hong began to feel disgusted with Bo Cai, and Bo Cai's repeated admonitions also made him very irritable, just after Sun Jian was arrogant in the city for three days, this night, finally a general came to see Zhao Hong.
"General, Sun Jian's department is only 2,000 people, why is Bo Shuai reluctant to attack?"
Zhao Hong replied truthfully: "Bo Shuaiyan Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the two old horsemen, don't know where they are, and Sun Jian outside the city is a bait." ”
A general asked, "Why does Bo Shuai conclude that there must be an ambush outside the city?" In my opinion, it was he who was frightened by someone, and the fire of the long society scared him so much that he thought it was an ambush when he saw something. ”
Although Zhao Hong also looked down on Bocai who was beaten to the ground in the Changshe, he was still more cautious after all, and said: "I would rather believe it, I think Sun Jian, a thief, must have something to rely on if he is so arrogant, now, it's better to be careful." ”
The other got up and said, "General, is Wancheng his Bocai's territory or your general?" Why do you listen to everything and believe it? This Sun Jian is insulting every day, but this scolding is not his Bocai but the general and me, do you just endure it? General, you take care of the overall situation, but we can't bear it. ”
Zhao Hong's heart moved, but his face changed color: "Shut up, we are all under the command of great sages and good teachers, how can there be a difference between you and me?" Besides, this is just the Han army's method of agitation, how can I care? Thou shalt also be a man of the general, and this must be mentioned again. ”
And the general who said this not only did not get angry but sat back quietly, although Zhao Hong told him to shut up, he just said that Hugh had to mention it again, and there was no punishment, obviously these words had already hit Zhao Hong's heart, and the general sat down and glanced at the previous one, and the man replied with a clear look: "General, I only need the headquarters, and tomorrow I will go out of the city by myself to meet this Sun Jian thief to know the truth." ”
When Zhao Hong heard this, he thought to himself that this is right, if there is an ambush or not, I will know if there is an ambush, and more than 100,000 people in his city let Sun Jian's 2,000 people block and dare not go to war. Thinking of this, Zhao Hong said with a straight face: "Then you can go, I will personally press the formation for you, He Yuan, you are responsible for picking up Zhao Xiu." But tomorrow will not be visible, Sun Jian, the thief, will attack immediately, and when the day is in the middle of the day, the enemy will relax, and I will personally beat the drum for you. Alright, let's all go down. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and promised to retreat, while Zhao Hong in the room sighed faintly: "Bocai, don't you really take me Zhao Hong in your eyes?" I am not your subordinate, nor is I under your command, so how can I be subject to you at all times? How can I, Zhao Hong, live under you? Just need Wancheng to win the battle, and see how I let you know how powerful I am Zhao Hong. ”
Of course, this matter is hidden from Bo Cai, after all, he also knows that he has a lot of complaints about his defeated generals, most of the generals in Wancheng have a lot of complaints, after all, Bo Cai was not Nanyang's Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, and he was defeated and fled to Nanyang and could be reinstated as Qu Shuai, even if he did not have the actual right to speak and did not have the right to soldier, but this was enough to make the generals under Zhang Mancheng very dissatisfied, people don't live for fame and fortune? And this, of course, Bo Cai also knows the way, but Bo Cai is eager for revenge, and secondly, he thinks that he knows Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, and it is very suitable to come to the main thing, but he can't stretch his hand too far after all. What Bocai didn't expect was that he ignored the role of the human heart, and sometimes, the greed of the human heart can destroy all the efforts of others. And Bocai just ignores this.
At this time, Xu Ji in Sun Jian's camp was also discussing with Sun Jian, obviously Sun Jian was a little anxious, this was the third day that he had been tossing under the city, there was still no movement in Wancheng, two days ago, there were still people in the city and his subordinates scolded him, and today he simply ignored it, Sun Jian almost thought that Xu Ji's strategy was useless, and he was very dissatisfied and only asked Xu Ji: "Wen Lie, is your strategy effective?" I don't seem to be moved by the view of the city today, I don't know ......? ”
Xu Ji looked at the bonfire in front of him, and said in a trance: "Soon, the general needs to pay more attention from tomorrow, and no longer let the soldiers act wantonly, just pretend to be a gesture, I look at it today, as expected, the hearts of the people in the city have changed, has the general noticed that the flag at the head of the city is also different from a few days ago?" I am afraid that Zhao Hong and Bo Cai have a gap in their hearts, and Bo Cai has changed his men and horses to guard the city wall, and I am sure that within a few days, people and horses will go out of the city to attack the general's troops. As long as it goes back and forth several times, the Yellow Turban will definitely light the enemy, and then only need to wait for the two generals to lead their troops to come, and they will be able to conquer Wancheng. “
Sun Jian asked suspiciously, "What if that's not the case?" ”
Xu Ji slightly: "Wen Lie is willing to take the head of Xiang Shang as a military order, if this is not the case, please behead Wen Lie." ”
Sun Jian nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Okay, I'll believe you again, I don't know how long I need to delay?" ”
Xu Ji flipped out the map and looked at it, looked at Wancheng and said: "At most three days, at least two days, it is expected that General Zhu and General Huangfu should arrive in these days." ”
Sun Jian nodded and said, "So, I know, Wen Lie, can I borrow my uncle?" After speaking, he didn't forget to ask Xu Ji for Chen Dao.
Xu Ji smiled and said: "Since Wen Lie is a staff officer in the general's army, Shu Zhi is naturally also a member of the general's army, how can he borrow one of them?" After saying that, he turned around and called Chen Zhi in: "Uncle Zhi, from tomorrow onwards, you will obey the dispatch of General Wentai." ”
Chen Zhi frowned: "What about the Lord's safety?" ”
Xu Jiha smiled: "Why are there so many things in the army that worry you?" Men should be determined to make meritorious contributions, since General Wentai values you, you can go. ”
Although Chen Zhi frowned, since Xu Ji had already said it, he turned to Sun Jian and said: "Chen Zhi visited General Wentai, Xiang Ri has only been a scout for a few days, I don't know why the general dispatched Chen Dao?" ”
Sun Jian fiddled with the bonfire and said: "I will divide 500 people with you tomorrow, you don't have to go with most of the men, you just need to set up more flags and weapons along the road to withdraw the army, and wait for us to return to the camp." Another thing, you remember, these 500 people in your hands are also my most rear-hand, if the Yellow Turban in the city really comes out of the city, you are the most rear-end little protection, I want you to hinder the pursuit of the Yellow Turban for me. ”
Chen Zhi was shocked: "This ...... How does this work? Chen has only been in the army for a few months, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility? ”
Sun Jian said with a smile: "This is just a backhand, if your master's plan works, then you are just a logistics role, but if your master's plan fails, then it is the time for you to take on the heavy responsibility, and it can be regarded as a little back road left by my Sun Wentai for himself, Wen Lie won't care, right?" ”
Xu Ji also smiled and signaled Chen Zhi not to be too nervous and smiled: "Wen Lie naturally won't be angry with the general for this little thing. ”
To say that Sun Jian's worries, Xu Ji is not without it, but Xu Ji is no longer distressed at this time, he almost concluded that his strategy has succeeded, it is precisely because of the cooperation of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song that he used Sun Jianbu as a bait, and used the bluff to make different opinions within the Yellow Turban, and this obviously made Bo Cai constantly questioned, and the arrogant Yellow Turban is just a local chicken and a dog for the Han army, which is also the reason why Sun Jian is coerced by Chen Zhi and Xu Ji is not worried at all. What's more, Xu Ji has confidence in Chen Zhi, even if his plan fails, Chen Zhi's ability to protect himself and him is more than enough, even if Sun Jian may embarrass Xu Ji.
Chen Zhi also understood what Xu Ji meant, so he still agreed. At this time, Cao Cao, who followed Huangfu Song, had a strong interest in Xu Ji, since he learned that Changshe's fire attack plan was Xu Ji's idea, Cao Cao began to pay attention to this fourteen-year-old boy, although he was a little immature but he was already quite disciplined in terms of layout and planning, and more importantly, Xu Ji's quick response and good overall view, and even Cao Cao began to look forward to how Xu Ji would deal with the 100,000 yellow scarves in Jiancheng Wancheng, and Xu Ji's approach did not disappoint Cao Cao, Xu Ji dared to be suspicious in front of more than 100,000 yellow scarves through his own speculation and bold conjectures, and he dared to be sure that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song would cooperate and not rush to Wancheng immediately.
And what surprised Cao Cao even more was that Xu Ji not only laid out the plan of the suspicious soldiers, but also used the strategy of the suspicious soldiers to carry out the plan of discord, which were interlocking, and the odds were complementary, almost overwhelming, Cao Cao tried to substitute himself into the position of Bocai and found that he had no other way but to do anything other than the scheme, this is Yangmou, you can see it clearly but it can't be avoided. Because Yang Mou is forcing you to go to the path that he has designed for you, you have no choice.
Moreover, Cao Cao clearly saw that Xu Ji's strategy was aimed at Bocai from beginning to end, and Xu Ji even completely ignored the existence of the rest of the yellow turbans in Wancheng, and he didn't seem to be worried about this strategy being seen through at all. Of course, Cao Cao knew why Xu Ji dared to do this, because this plan pointed directly at the dark place of people's hearts. And this is what Cao Cao admires, Xu Ji's strategy is not only Qi Zheng Xiangzuo but also directly to the heart, this kind of strategist is the most terrifying, although Xu Ji is still immature, but Cao Cao saw such a prototype in Xu Ji.
And this also made Cao Cao eager to try, not only to see how far Xu Ji could grow, but also to use Xu Ji for himself. As for Cao Cao, who is not familiar with Xu Ji, he knows that he is not suitable for being too intimate at this time, Xu Ji still needs a lot of space to grow, and what Cao Cao wants is Xu Ji who has grown up completely.
At this time, Wancheng is Xu Ji's official stage, and Xu Ji is not stingy to use Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song as chess pieces, and this stroke means that Xu Ji has begun to enter the state, he has slowly become a qualified strategist, and this marks that Xu Ji has slowly adapted to this turbulent era, he began to grow unswervingly, and no one can stop this, and Wancheng will be Xu Ji's first announcement.
This world is destined to be different because of his arrival.
