Chapter 389: Liu Bei miscalculated
"What! Xu Shu left a letter and left quietly! ”
Getting the news of Xu Shu's departure, Liu Bei was a little annoyed, originally he came to Yangping Pass to sit in the town, and there were not too many generals with him, more by virtue of his identity to improve morale.
But no matter what, the departure of Xu Shu, who was already a well-known person among the soldiers, was a blow to morale.
To put it mildly, Xu Shu just escaped from the battle.
You must know that Xu Shu also has an official position, not counting Liu Bei, he is the third person in this Yangping Pass, if you zoom in more, in the entire Shu land, Xu Shu is the seed that is newly ready to be promoted, and Xu Shu's own talent has also been recognized during this period of time.
Such a person quietly leaves, and the meaning naturally needs not be said more.
"If he goes to join the puppet dynasty?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were not by Liu Bei's side, and the more Liu Bei thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but speak.
"This king is so polite and virtuous, is there still anything to be sorry for them? Dahan Ende doesn't remember it, so you just let such a person run rampant? ”
Hearing this, where did anyone dare to refute, and endured Liu Bei's angry scolding and slowly retreated.
But soon such words were rumored, Liu Bei was originally in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and his military heart was quite stable, but when he heard this, it immediately made many people feel strange.
By the time Liu Bei found out about this, it was already a little late, and the morale of many soldiers in Yangping Pass had already been weakened a lot, so even if it was dangerous. I'm afraid it's hard to resist Wei Tao.
This is the time to use troops.
It feels like this morale. Even Liu Bei was a little remorseful.
But that's it. Liu Bei also regretted that it was useless, and he knew that if this was the case, it would be difficult to defend this Yangping Pass, so he immediately ordered Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng to send troops to them.
At the same time, Liu Bei was also secretly glad that Wei Tao had not officially come to storm Yangping Pass at this time.
Liu Bei naturally didn't know that at this time, Wei Tao had just returned to the barracks, just to appease people's hearts. In the past few days, Wei Tao's army has moved slowly, and Wei Tao has not shown up, which really makes the army's morale float.
Even if Wei Tao returns, it will be reorganized.
"What does Majesty mean that Xu Shu won't invite him to take refuge?"
For the advisers and generals under his command, Wei Tao naturally will not hide anything, and will talk about the matter.
Hearing Jiang Wei's question, Wei Tao also nodded, and when it was, although Xu's mother finally agreed, she only promised to recruit her son. And it's very direct, but there is a big man in one day. will not serve the new dynasty.
And Jiang Wei asked this because although it was a glimpse, Jiang Wei could also feel that Xu Shuzhi's talent was extraordinary.
"Xu Shu just let him go, if he can help Liu Bei, he doesn't have to ask too much. And when the Central Plains is unified, I will be out again for the sake of our atomic people. ”
Wei Tao smiled slightly, just put this matter aside, and then looked right, and then talked about business.
"You also know that now the battle between Liu Bei and I is actually a national war between the two countries, originally Shu alone was not enough to confront the Central Plains, but now many of our troops are held back by Cao Cao, and they can't come separately at all, and then add the dangers of Shu Road, the geography is unknown, and the strength of the two sides is really similar, if there is no magic method, it is almost difficult to win!"
"What His Majesty said is extremely true, but Liu Bei's actions are not to say that there are no flaws, these days I have thought of a plan with Ziming and Boyo, and I want to present it to His Majesty!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Wei Tao's eyes lit up, the three people under his command can be called young generals, and the relationship between them is not unusual, but being able to think about it together makes Wei Tao surprised and happy.
"Hurry up."
"No. Your Majesty, although Liu Bei has the advantage of time and location, but his people may not be like this. Not to mention the plan of differentiation between the lord and the public, just to say that the land of Shu, although the land is fertile and rich in products, it is the country of abundance. However, there was the division of Hanzhong in the past, and the defeat of Jingzhou in the back, all of which lost a lot of manpower, so although there were talents, Liu Bei lacked troops in his hands. ”
As soon as Jiang Wei gave his hand, he told the strategy.
"Our army doesn't know the terrain of Shuzhong, the more it invades Shu, the bigger this defect is, in this case, why didn't the lord take advantage of this battle of Yangping Pass to cut off his sharpness, no matter how many people Liu Bei has, can he still compare with our army? As long as the loss reaches a certain level, then Liu Bei will definitely not dare to fight with the lord again, and then the lord will attack layer by layer, weakening his strength, and it will be successful! ”
"Fight with Liu Bei under Yangping Pass?"
Wei Tao hesitated slightly, just thinking about the matter, and only after a while did he speak.
"Yangping Pass is a dangerous pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the troops are lost here, I don't know how much it will be lost......"
Wei Tao is not a person who does not understand the military, especially in this dangerous attack, and he knows that he almost takes his life to fill it, so he doesn't know whether it is to lose Liu Bei's strength or his Wei Tao's strength.
"Your Majesty forgot that although Yangping Pass is sinister now, Xu Shu had a recommendation before that made the veteran Yan Yan lead the army into a horn. This is indeed a wonderful plan, but if the lord has the intention of ending up together, then it will become a strategy to lure the enemy. ”
Jiang Wei smiled slightly, and immediately said so.
"But don't forget, that Yangping Pass was severely damaged by our army not long ago, and its strength is going to be weakened a lot, and with Liu Bei's decision, he must be reluctant to do this. If Xu Shu is still there, I am afraid that the implementation of this law will be seen through by him as a means of conspiracy, but now that Xu Shu is gone, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are not in Yangping Pass, and look at how Liu Bei is! ”
"Good!"
Hearing what Jiang Wei said, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile, Jiang Wei, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun are really young talents!
"In this case, I will now order the three of you to immediately lead the army, with Lu Meng as the leader, Jiang Wei and Lu Xun as the deputies, and lead the army to attack Yanyan's camp, whether Liu Bei will send troops or not, as much as possible to kill the Shu soldiers for me!"
"No!"
The three of them were all excited to respond, they proposed this proposal, naturally hoping to lead the troops to fight to establish meritorious deeds, and now that they have Wei Tao's promise, they are naturally excited.
The three of them are all young heroes, and the three of them are resourceful, so they have already been prepared, so as soon as Wei Tao gave the order, they quickly led people to Yangping Pass.
Instead, he also ignored the guards of Yangping Pass, and divided into three armies and rushed straight to the location of Yan Yan's camp.
"Knock knock ......"
I have to say that although Yan Yan is a veteran, a veteran is a veteran, that is, he is cautious in using troops, Jiang Wei and others have not yet attacked, and Yan Yan has already organized a large army to defend.
Although this camp is not as thick as the high walls of Yangping Guancheng, Yan Yan has also built it with heart these days, so he has an advantage in defending here.
"All the soldiers listen to the order, the lord guards Yangping Pass, as long as I hold the camp, the lord will definitely send troops to attack the rear, and the other party must not kill himself at that time!"
Yan Yan is Yan Yan, and as soon as he opened his mouth like this, his morale was immediately high.
However, Jiang Wei and the others had a plan, and naturally they would not have the slightest fear at this time, and they each commanded their men to kill them, and for a while, the two armies were fighting with all their might.
Although Yan Yan did not send someone to report, the reason why Yan Yan Camp and Yangping Pass became horns is that the two places can wait and see the details separately, and there is no need for Yan Yan to report, and everyone in Yangping Pass also knows that Yan Yan Camp is under attack.
"Knock knock ......"
But at this time, a dense drum beat sounded in Yangping Pass, or to be more precise, in the jungle outside Yangping Pass, and there were various flags erected, as if they were preparing to attack Yangping Pass, but if they looked closely, it seemed that there was no one at all, just a bluff.
But it was precisely like this, that is, Liu Bei did not send troops to rescue Yan Yan at the first moment.
"Hansheng, is it false or real that the other party is making such a big fanfare? Now there are not many soldiers in Yangping Pass, and if you lead troops to rescue, it is very likely that the enemy will succeed in stealing the pass. ”
Liu Bei was very irritable, in fact, it was really said that although Liu Bei was also experienced in a hundred battles, he was defeated and defeated repeatedly, although he was indeed persevering, but it also showed that his military ability was indeed not very powerful.
"This ......"
Huang Zhong was also dumbfounded for a while, which made him how to answer, Huang Zhong himself is mostly a brave general, and attacking and defending is his strength, but this strategy guess is a little difficult for him.
The relationship between Huang Zhong and Yan Yan is not bad, but it is impossible for Huang Zhong to put his personal feelings above national affairs, let alone such military affairs.
After a slight hesitation, Huang Zhong finally opened his mouth.
"Lord, maybe let Yan Yan lead the troops back to Yangping Pass, now that the troops in the pass are insufficient, it is okay to shrink the force."
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Liu Bei was naturally very unwilling, after Xu Shu left, he didn't take back this order, originally because he also felt that this method was good, and now he withdrew it during the battle, wouldn't it form a rout?
So Liu Bei hesitated for a while, seeing this, Huang Zhong finally couldn't help but speak.
"In the past, it can be seen that the lord is wise and wise, whether he is fighting or retreating, he can always decide with a word, why is the lord like this now? If you want to fight, I am willing to lead the troops to fight, if you don't fight, let Yan Yan retreat as soon as possible! If we continue to delay like this, our army will suffer a lot of losses! ”
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Liu Bei's heart perked, but he understood in his heart that he should indeed make a decision.
After a slight hesitation, Liu Bei finally opened his mouth and gave an order.
"Retreat! Immediately let Yan Yan retreat, with this Yangping Pass, it is enough to resist Wei Taoye! ”
After all, these soldiers are Liu Bei's net worth, and he is reluctant to fight here! (To be continued......)
