Chapter Eighty-Six: The Drunkard of Gaoyang

In fact, Xue Rengui's original intention was to let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao garrison Changguo City, but Yuan Shao was actually afraid that there were remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and he was not worried about his own guards, but all along, Xu Chu's combat effectiveness Yuan Shao had seen it, and he had to ask Xu Chu to stay, and he also said that he would assist in garrisoning Changguo City in his name, so Xue Rengui had no way to say anything, after all, Yuan Shao was the commander of the imperial army this time, how to arrange his own people, Xue Rengui had no way to intervene, so Yuan Shao's arrangement was understandable.

Xue Rengui continued to lead the brigade to Xi'an City to confront the Yellow Turban Army, while Cao Cao continued to lead the imperial court's troops to ambush on the road between Xi'an City and Changguo City.

Xue Rengui continued to send Zhao Yun to the outside of Changguo City with the remaining half of his troops, pretending to besiege Changguo City, and then luring the Yellow Turban Army out of the city to help, sending reinforcements at the halfway encirclement point, and then letting the remnants enter Changguo City, killing them all in one go, weakening the combat effectiveness in Xi'an City, and then launching a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army in Xi'an City.

Xi'an City is already in chaos, and Wang Bodang can't figure out what Xue Rengui wants to do. After all, according to his previous analysis, Xue Rengui would definitely not take the initiative to attack Changguo City, if it was an attack, it should be to concentrate most of the troops to attack, and what does it mean that half of the troops are still left.

In fact, if it were replaced by any other commander in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it would be implemented in accordance with the two situations analyzed by Wang Bodang, but unfortunately, Xue Rengui has advanced knowledge and combat strategy, and if it is so easy for the enemy to figure out his routine, it will be too much of a failure.

"Pass the order, and pass the generals to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters."

"No."

Wang Bodang could not sit still and try to break the current deadlock.

"Now, Changguo City has been besieged by the imperial army, and there are sounds of fighting from time to time in the past few days. Everyone has their opinions. ”

"Military advisor, no matter what they do, since they have besieged Changguo City for several days and have not captured it, it means that in fact, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is not strong, if you want me to say that we will directly echo each other with the brothers of Changguo City, and then go directly out of the city to fight with them!"

"Yes! Decisive battle! ”、

"Decisive battle!"

"Kill them without a piece of armor!"

"Let the court know that we are powerful!"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

"Okay, everyone's courage is commendable, but the imperial army is not so useless, let's seriously discuss how to fight this battle first! General Shang, new general, what do you two think? ”

In fact, when Wang Bodang asked everyone what they thought, he just wanted to hear the opinions of Master Shang and Xin Wenli, and as for the other Yellow Turban Army generals, they were just shouting slogans.

"I think this is their trick to lure troops, and its purpose should be like letting us go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with them, as for the siege soldiers and horses in Changguo City, I think it is part of the county soldiers, that is, local armed forces, and even the people participate in it, and the remaining half of his soldiers and horses may be hidden somewhere outside our city, and when we go out of the city to fight with them, jump out and kill us by surprise!"

"General Shang is right." Xin Wenli jumped out and continued to express his opinion, "However, the last time he was outside the Qi Kingdom, Xue Rengui used this kind of trick to lure troops, I don't think he could use the same strategy twice, right?" ”

"The new general has a point." Master Shang and apprentice also came out again to discuss with Xin Wenli, "However, throughout the ages, in the same big battle, it is not impossible to use the same strategy twice or more times in a row, not to mention that in this situation, Xue Rengui's skills are exhausted, so he can only continue to use this strategy, and it is not impossible for a dead horse to be used as a live horse doctor!" ”

"What the two generals said is good, but I think this Xue Rengui is not a general, there must be a lot of meaning in this, but we haven't figured it out yet, let's not act rashly before that." Wang Bodang stroked a strand of beard under his mouth again, and said to himself, "What is it?" Xue Rengui, you are such a difficult character! ”

"General Qiyu, there is a person outside who claims to be called, Li Shiqi, saying that he is the descendant of the 'Gaoyang drunkard', saying that he knows that the current military division and the generals are encountering problems, and he said that he has a way to solve the current dilemma."

"Who is this Li Shiqi? Where did you come from? ”

"By the way, military advisor, what is this 'Gaoyang drunkard'? Why haven't we heard of it? ”

"Everyone, maybe you don't know this 'Gaoyang drunkard', this person is a famous strategist under Liu Bang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, among the founding strategists of the Han Dynasty, Li Shi's stability is not as good as Xiao He's, his strategic vision is not as good as Zhang Liang's, and his wit is not as good as Chen Ping. But he indulged in alcohol, was loose and wild, and had a good temper with Liu Bang, and was probably Liu Bang's favorite one. He was not only full of strategy, but also dared to act and take risks, and made irreplaceable contributions to Liu Bang's great cause with extraordinary political foresight and outstanding military insights. Li Shiqi gave advice to Liu Bang, lobbied the Quartet, and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but his name is often not well known to future generations. ”

"In this way, this 'Gaoyang drunkard' Li Shiqi is also a character, but what can he do as a descendant? And if I'm not mistaken, this person was about to starve to death on the side of the road, and was taken in by our Yellow Turban Army, and then he has been in charge of the food of the soldiers in the Huotou Army, and we have a group of high-ranking people who can't do anything here, how can this kind of person have any good ideas? ”

"Maybe he's just here to make trouble, let's ignore him, come on, go and drive him away!"

"If you want me to say, just pull it out and cut it! Maybe it's an enemy spies. ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, it doesn't have to be an enemy spy, or just beat it up and drive it out."

"If you want me to say, it's better to arrest and torture him, if it's really a spy of the enemy army, maybe there will be something to gain!"

"Someone! Go and get the others up! ”

These generals of the Yellow Turban Army, although most of them are dirt buns and have no culture, they are just some brave peasants or something, and they want to let them march and fight or something, almost something, but let them meet people who can be ridiculed, and they will definitely not be stingy with insults in their mouths. If they were to fall into the ground, it would be easier and commonplace.

"Wait, this man dares to come to us now, maybe he really has some idea. If he was a spy of the imperial army, I believe he would not be stupid enough to come to us and throw himself into the net. Let's bring him in first and hear what he has to say. ”

"The military advisor has a point."

"It's still a military advisor who sees it thoroughly!"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€

"Alright, don't talk about it, hurry up and bring someone in for him."

"In Xia Li, this is Wang Bodang, Wang Junshi, right?"

"Oh, you know me?" Wang Bodang's eyes lit up when he saw this Li Shiqi, because as soon as Wang Bodang saw Li Shiqi, he felt that this person had an extraordinary temperament, and he must be a person who might have great talents.

"When I was in the barracks, I had a chance to meet the military advisor, so I knew it."

"I wonder if Mr. has come to us now, what advice do you have?"

"I can't talk about teaching, the military advisor says so, but it will torment the villain. It's just that when I looked at the actions of the imperial army outside the city, I had some opinions. ”

"What a big-tailed wolf! Our group of generals have no choice, they can't see what tricks Xue Rengui is playing, you! Hum! ”

The previous group of self-righteous generals of the Yellow Turban Army came out to pretend to be something again, however, Wang Bodang still has a master and apprentice, and they have no good way to do it in Xinwenli, after all, the Yellow Turban Army has hundreds of thousands of horses, and they only have three people, if they want to dominate so many people, it is far from enough for the three of them, although they are not capable enough, but they are better than nothing! Moreover, these people are absolutely loyal to the Yellow Turbans. And the most important thing is that most of these people are a group of rough people, and they must not be reprimanded, otherwise it will be bad for them to be dissatisfied, so Wang Bodang can only use the Huairou policy to treat them. Therefore, Wang Bodang didn't want to offend them, so he had to continue.

"Generals, please go back and rest first, straighten out the soldiers and horses, I will prepare a plan immediately, when the time comes, I believe that with the ability of the generals, if you want to defeat the dog thieves of the imperial court, it will be easy!"

Originally, when these Yellow Turban Army generals heard Wang Bodang say that they wanted everyone to go down and prepare, they knew that Wang Bodang was going to hold a high-level meeting, and they all thought to themselves, why did they finally decide to avoid us, and even felt indignant in their hearts, but they were also very happy when they heard that Wang Bodang wanted to rely on everyone's ability to fight. After all, they are just some low-level generals, if they are really allowed to defect to the princes or go to the court to serve as soldiers, I am afraid it is impossible to mix with this kind of official position. Most of these people are small leaders in some villages in the past, or they are extremely powerful compared to ordinary people, or some people are relatively well-connected.

Therefore, if it weren't for the unexpected historical figures such as Wang Bodang, Master Shang and Xinwenli, Xue Rengui would have defeated the Yellow Turban Army and gone home. However, it is precisely because of these people that Xue Rengui's process of unifying the Three Kingdoms will be more exciting.

"I don't know what advice Mr. has, please teach me quickly." After these generals of the Yellow Turban Army left, Wang Bodang couldn't help but ask Li Shiqi for advice.

"Recently, the imperial army suddenly allocated half of the soldiers and horses out, and only half of the soldiers and horses outside the city remained. As for the remaining soldiers and horses, the first possibility is that they ambushed them outside the city. ”

"It's possible." Wang Bodang couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face, he had also thought of this situation, but it was not very likely. If this Li Shiqi only has such great ability, I'm afraid it's just a faΓ§ade. However, it can be regarded as a talent, and you can also stay by your side and cultivate it.

"However, this is almost unlikely, and as for the remaining case, it is 。。。。。。"

When Li Shiqi finished speaking, Wang Bodang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

For the characters who appeared before the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, for the convenience of everyone to read, the original names are still used. I hope it won't affect all of you.
