Chapter 409 Jia Xu's preparation
There was no commander strong enough to command the army, and after four hours of resistance by an army of 150,000, the other 40,000 had to surrender after throwing down the bodies of 30,000 people.
Tai Shici, who was dressed in a battle robe stained red with blood, left Guan Hai to lead 50,000 troops to clean up the battlefield, while he retreated with nearly 100,000 troops and came towards Fuyang.
Outside the floating sun at this moment, the military advisor Jia Xu is gathering together with 10,000 soldiers and Gan Ning and the 30,000 soldiers of Jia Ni and the belt.
As soon as he saw Jia Xu, Gan Ning stepped forward with a wry smile and said, "The military advisor has a good plan." ”
Jia Xu knew that Gan Ning now had some opinions about himself in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Xingba, you can blame me for this matter, but I do have a clear conscience." With a loss of less than 10,000 people, it can hit Wen Chou hard, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it. ”
Gan Ning naturally knew that what Jia Xu said was the truth. If it is not a strategy, but a hard attack on Nanpi City, not to mention the victory or defeat, the price of that siege alone is not enough to lose 10,000 people. Therefore, the strategy of the military advisor is the best way.
It's just that although he understands these things in his heart, Gan Ning still said with some disbelief in his heart, "Military Division, if my guess is correct, General Taishi should be killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, I was forced to be so embarrassed, and now I really haven't built an inch, isn't it too unfair?" ”
Knowing that Gan Ning was still unconvinced, Jia Xu's face was also much more solemn and said: "Xingba, do you know why you lured the enemy this time instead of others?" ”
"Why?" Gan Ning asked in an unkind tone.
Jia Xu didn't seem to hear such an unhappy attitude, and said: "It's all because of the lord's will." ”
"What does the lord mean? Hehe, military advisor, did you mean that this idea was the master's idea? Gan Ning said with a sneer.
"Of course not, I came up with the idea. However, when I went to Jinyang City, the lord did find me alone, and he specially instructed you and General Jiani, saying that you are the commander of the Waterway Legion, and you must not make any mistakes. It is precisely because the lord treats you as a treasure that I did not let you participate in the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shao's army. After all, there are no eyes for knives and guns, although my plan has been perfect, but no one can guarantee that I will not go on a business trip, and once something happens to you, even if you kill Wen Chou, it will be regarded as a failure. ”
When Jia Xu said these words, his tone was very sincere. Gan Ning on the side seemed to imagine the tone of the lord Zhang Chao's instructions, and couldn't help but say with red eyes, "But we are also the generals under the lord's account, our lives are lives, and General Taishi is the same." ”
"It's different, at least the other land legions have one less corps commander, and they can be filled by others, but the waterway legions really can't." Jia Xu said in an extremely firm tone.
After saying this, Jia Xu said in a deep tone: "Speaking of which, General Taishi also knew about this for a long time, and I also told him about the plan in advance, but after he heard it, Ke really thought that the lord was right, and he even said that your current position in Xingba is definitely not something that others can replace." In this way, he willingly pretended to plan military rations, but in fact, he returned to Fuyang, moved the people here, and took away all the food and water in the city, and then he was obliged to deal with the enemies who came out of Nanpi City. ”
Hearing that even Tai Shici also took his own safety as the first priority, Gan Ning had nothing to say. Everyone is thinking about his safety, he just did a task to lead the enemy, as long as he is not impulsive and does not fight back, such a task is basically not life-threatening, but he is still complaining, he can't help but blush: "Strategist, I blame you, and I shouldn't have cursed you in my heart before." ”
Seeing Gan Ning admit that he was scolding himself, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Xingba, it doesn't matter if you scold me, as long as you can understand our good intentions." By the way, didn't you always say that you wanted to make meritorious contributions? Now that the great work is in front of him, Wen Chou has already retreated into Fuyang City with 30,000 soldiers, so it is the turtle in the urn, you can do whatever you want. ”
"Whatever?" Gan Ning turned around from that emotion, looked at Fuyang City in front of him, and said in a tone of confusion, "Does the military advisor mean that I will lead a large army to attack the city?" ”
"Hehe, there is a price to be paid for the siege of the city, even if I am here, of course you will not be allowed to do this, in this way, you take the soldiers to eat first, you are very tired after a day's travel, and when you have eaten and drunk enough, I am telling you the plan." Jia Xu said with a smile. At this time, he was confident, obviously confident.
Seeing that Jia Xu was sold here, Gan Ning didn't ask much, so he waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Come on, run for a day, eat first, stomach first." ”
The 10,000 soldiers brought by Jia Xu had already finished cooking, and Gan Ning only solved the problem of eating in half an hour, and then found Jia Xu in a hurry.
Jia Xu sat on a wooden chair, as if he had been waiting for Gan Ning's arrival for a long time, and when he saw this tiger coming to him, he smiled and said, "Xingba, you are really in a hurry." ”
"Hehe, military advisor, I am responsible for this great merit of killing Wen Chou, don't look back, General Taishi is here, rob me of my credit." Gan Ning said with a grinning expression.
"The credit must be yours, and I'm prepared. It's just that we have to wait for General Taishi to come with a large army, otherwise, do you think that with the 40,000 horses in our hands now, we can really trap Wen Chou? Jia Xu did shake his head and said.
"Ahh Hearing that he had to wait for Tai Shici to arrive, Gan Ning's face couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness.
"Okay, Xingba don't have to worry, this head work must be yours. So come and see what I have in store for you. As he spoke, Jia Xu had already taken a handful of arrow feathers from the hands of his own soldiers beside him.
"It's a bow and arrow." Looking at this seemingly ordinary arrow feather, Gan Ning said with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, this is indeed a bow and arrow. But it is indeed a bow and arrow stained with fire oil, hehe, don't hide it from Xingba. Now the entire Fuyang City houses are filled with a lot of fire oil by me, now you only need to shoot the bow and arrow with this fire oil into the city, there is a sea of fire, Wen Chou just wants to stay in the city can't, at that time he can only rush out or go to the city wall to take refuge, and there, if the soldiers are less prepared, can they eat him? Jia Xu smiled.
"What?" When Gan Ning heard this, his face also became frightened. Then he seemed to think of something and couldn't help but say, "Is this all prepared by the military advisor before?" How do you know that Wen Chou will enter the city, and when will all this work be done? ”
Faced with Gan Ning's questions, Jia Xu answered them one by one. "With Wen Chou's character, there is a city that can be occupied for nothing, and he will definitely not give up. Otherwise, after chasing for a day, he really has no achievements in hand, and he is unwilling. As for the fact that the city was covered with fire oil, it was naturally done by the disappeared General Taishi, who never went back to Samhan to prepare any grain and grass. The army goes on the expedition, if I don't have all the food and grass, this military division is too unsuitable. ”
Listening to Jia Xu's answer, Gan Ning nodded and became much more solemn when he looked at the other party. is worthy of being a poisoner, worthy of being a military advisor favored by the lord, he has already thought of everything, and he is still such a poisonous plan. At this moment, he is really sad for Wen Chou, with such an opponent, it is strange that he does not fail.
In the city of Fuyang.
Wen Chou entered the city with a large army, and then ordered the soldiers to go up to the city wall to guard, he was not sure if Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci would kill him after they joined up, it was always good to have some precautions.
As for whether the other party will attack the city, he just doesn't care. With 30,000 horses under his command, there is no problem in holding a small county town. And as long as he holds this place and waits for the reinforcements behind him to arrive, that is the time for him to fight back.
Wen Chou thought that if he could destroy or severely damage Zhang Chao's army, he would become the first person to win in the Fourth Route Army, and such a name would inevitably shake the world.
With such a thought in his heart, Wen Chou's face also brought out a little joy. But then a grunting sound came from his abdomen, and he couldn't help but blush, so he shouted to the soldiers outside: "Go, get me something to eat." ”
After chasing for a day, I'm really hungry.
His own soldiers said yes and went. About a pillar of incense later, some soldiers brought in some dry food.
When he saw that he was only taking dry food, Wen Chou's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said very unhappily, "What? You're just going to give me these, won't you make some hot food? ”
"The general is angry, we have been looking in the city for a long time but have not found a trace of water and food, and these dry foods are still brought by our soldiers." When the soldier saw that the general was angry, he also knelt on the ground in fear and said.
Hearing the explanation of the pro-soldiers, Wen Chou's face changed and said, "What? What does it mean that no water or food has been found? Could it be that they were not prepared for our entry into the city? ”
Speaking of this, Wen Chou was shocked in his heart. So, the other party had already guessed that he would come here? If so, isn't that dangerous? "Let's go upstairs and have a look."
At this time, Wen Chou had no idea of eating, he just wanted to go to the city tower to have a look first, so that his heart could be steady.
