The soldiers were fast, and Shixun did not dare to rest in Changli City for a long time, so he led the army to cross the Yushui River, that is, the Daling River, on the second day. After putting down the boat, Yu Ban, who had captured the two counties of Bintu and Tuhe, was also able to cross from downstream. Immediately, the two armies encircled and went down with a drum, and then attacked dangerously, because the transportation of grain and grass was a beat slower, and they were forced to delay for several more days. When the battle reached the bank of the Great Liao River, Shi Xun estimated that the Liaodong Army should have set up camp on the opposite bank and prepared for a decisive battle, right?

About 100 miles away in the southeast direction of the dangerous city, just on the east bank of the Great Liao River, there is a county seat, decades later, Bei Yan and Yang Zuo rejected this enemy Sima Zhongda, that place is called Liao Tunnel. If the Liaodong Army wants to base the Liaoshui River as the enemy, it will definitely set up its base camp in the Liaodong City, but the strange thing is that the warriors in the army swim across to explore, but it is said that the four gates of the Liaodong County are wide open, ten rooms and nine empty, not only there are no soldiers to garrison, but even the common people are almost gone.

Shi Xun can't say that the enemy is like a god, but this battle of Liao, he has been planning for a long time, and with the help of Zhuge Kongming and other wise people, basically all kinds of possible changes in strategic layout and mobilization have been planned, and he can't be scared lightly. However, the news that the Liao Tunnel was empty came to him, but it was really unexpected - the Liaodong Army contracted? Don't even guard the Great Liao River? Can't—probe, probe!

Later, Sima Yi conquered Liaodong, and Emperor Wei Ming asked him before leaving, how would Gongsun Yuan deal with it? Sima Yi said: "Abandon the city and leave in advance, and plan also; According to Liaoshui, the army was rejected, and the time was also; Sitting in Xiangping, this is an ear catch. "What Sima Yi said about the plan, in fact, it can't be calculated at all, it just says that Gongsun Yuan should recognize the shape and escape as soon as possible - Sima Yi is afraid that Gongsun Yuan will escape into the wilderness. Fight guerrilla warfare with him. Then his calculation of destroying the enemy in 100 days will be in vain. But now it's Xun who is not afraid. After all, the Gongsun family is not yet in the era of Gongsun Yuan, the third generation is the town of Liaodong, Gongsun Du has just died, and Gongsun Kang has only ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are already unstable.

Therefore, it is Xun who thinks that Sima Yi is talking about the "second plan". It is the most likely countermeasure for Liaodong to get a hand, that is, to fortify along the Great Liaoshui River, block it heavily, and hope that the Youzhou army will retreat when it runs out of food. "Sitting in Xiangping, this is a capture of the ear", if you really want to retreat back into Xiangping City, then you will die, is the enemy so stupid? No, there must be a trap in it!

Therefore, he did not dare to cross the Great Liao River, but only sent sentinels to reconnoiter the opposite bank. At this moment. Xu Du suddenly had an urgent report, and it was Xun who took a look. couldn't help but smile and said, "'General Baidi' is here." ”

The so-called "General Baidi" refers to Xiahou Yuan. In fact, he didn't have this nickname at this time, but Xun just said it casually according to the records of later generations - anyway, if he whispered to himself, no one would hear it. If you want to say this nickname, it is actually quite wronged, and later generations often interpret it as an "idiot general", saying that Xiahou Yuan is a brave man, and he will not use soldiers at all - others say that he may be slanderous, but it was recorded by Cao Cao himself, can it be fake?

For this statement, Jixun does not believe it. In his previous life, he admired this Xiahou Miaocai general, this person marched like the wind, leveled Longshang, destroyed Song Jian, defeated Han Sui, and didn't know how beautiful the battle was, how could he not use soldiers? Didn't Cao Cao also praise him for "Tiger Step, Forward", and said that he was inferior to Xiahou Yuan? How did you become an idiot general in the blink of an eye?

Some people say that it was Cao Cao who deliberately let Xiahou Yuan bear the blame for the defeat of Hanzhong in order to clear the blame. This statement is the most nonsense and does not stand up to scrutiny at all. At the beginning of the original text, it is "Xiahou Yuan burned the antlers this month", indicating that Xiahou Yuan was still the chief general of Hanzhong at that time, and Cao Cao had not yet arrived, let alone retreated, is it necessary for him to buckle the black cauldron that did not exist on his body to the heads of his subordinates? Besides, in addition to Xiahou Yuan who died in the battle at that time, there was also a Yizhou assassin Zhao Hao, if someone really had to carry the black pot, wouldn't that one be more suitable? Why do you deliberately pour dirty water on your relatives, lovers, and heavy generals?

Cao Cao sighed and regretted that Xiahou Yuan only knew and did not know how to retreat, and he had always charged forward, regardless of his own safety, so he was finally defeated, and that was there. It is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that Cao Cao often admonished Xiahou Yuan: "For the sake of the general, when there is cowardice, you must not be brave." will be based on courage and wisdom; But knowing Ren Yong, a horse is an enemy. Judging by the grammar, it should not be said that Xiahou Yuan is a "puppet", otherwise the word "enemy" will become a derivation, and it should be said that if he continues to do this, he will eventually be killed by the puppet - just like Sun Ce.

Pull it back and talk about "General Baidi", if it is to describe Xiahou Yuan burning and looting everywhere, and all of it has become white land, there is still something to say - Cao Jun's military discipline is good in this year, but it seems that it is better than bandits in later generations, but Xiahou Yuan is by no means the worst one - "Baidi" is interpreted as "idiot" and incompetent, this is not said. Unless it was a slang at the time, or even a transliteration of Hu - because there were many foreign cavalry under Xiahou Yuan's command - but after Xun crossed into this world, he had never heard a similar statement.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, there is a mistake in the book, either "General Baidi" is actually another few words, and there was a mistake in the process of copying, or the entire paragraph of "Military Policy Order" is Xibei goods. It was studied in the previous life, and this record was first seen in the "Taiping Yulan", which was a similar book in the Song Dynasty, and everything was included, with an interval of nearly a thousand years, can you really believe it? Why is it not recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms or other works of the Wei and Jin dynasties?

Shixun himself values Xiahou Yuan very much, especially since the two have partnered many times, such as Xizhen Guanzhong. In Shi Xun's opinion, this talented general is indeed very fierce in battle, which is absolutely different from Yu Ban, who is a little bit muddy and muddy despite the strict use of the whole army. Later generations often have a misunderstanding, thinking that fierce generals like Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan are all reckless and useless soldiers, but this is not the era of the ancient barbarians who only focused on personal force, and people who are completely brainless can really be generals? Can you still dominate the world? Compared with Cao Cao, this vote is naturally much worse, to compare with Xun, even if Xun's head is better than Xun Yu, you let him lead the troops to knock the other party head-on? It's dead!

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan is still quite capable of using soldiers, of course, he is not without weaknesses, as Cao Cao said, he is too brave and brave. Not at all afraid to be outnumbered. Encountering a crisis is not about retreating for the time being and looking for another opportunity to turn around. Instead, we must fight to come out victorious. Yes Xun also wanted to persuade Xiahou Yuan at first, but then he pondered that in the original history, even Cao Cao couldn't change his bullish temper, how old am I? That's it, don't spend this spitting star.

It's just that Xun sent troops this time, and the most worrying thing is that there is no general around him, so Guo Huai is okay. It's a pity that he is too young and does not have enough prestige in the army. If you really want to run into the enemy's column, you will fight to the death, and if you are not careful in the subtleties of tactics, you may lose the whole game. Fortunately, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan over, this time it was Xun who was down-to-earth - then I am not in a hurry to cross the river, first explore clearly and then move forward slowly, it is best to wait for Miao to arrive, and then collide with the main force of the Liaodong Army.

So, did the Liaodong Army really shrink its defensive line?

It is said that Han Yao has been thinking about how to win the trust of the upper echelons of Liaodong on the way to "escape" to Xiangping. How about cheating them into fulfilling the mission that Xun had sent him? It is not enough to help Shou Changli's "clever plan" in advance. There must be enough strategies to defend against the enemy. This man has a very fast brain, which can be described as a "ten-step plan" - although most of it is useless - after thinking about it, he finally made up a set of reliable arguments.

So when he saw Yang Yi, he first exaggerated the strength of the Youzhou army, and then changed his words and said: "If Yang Gong can listen to me, he will look at the army of 100,000 people, but it is Xun Hongfu, and it is also grass mustard!" ”

Han Yao's ancestral home in Liaodong and his move to Yuzhang may have been mixed with the blood of southerners, so he was from the north and from the south, he was thin and small, and he straightened his waist and just arrived at Yangyi's shoulders. But his appearance is quite clear, he is better at putting on a shelf, not to mention the demeanor is the same for a while, in a semi-cultural desert like Liaodong, he looks very learned and stylish. So when I first entered the Youzhou military camp, I said, "The prince doesn't want to win Pingzhou?" Why do you treat resourceful people like this? "I had to bluff him and listen carefully to what he had to say.

Of course, after listening to it, I realized that this is a complete donkey dung egg surface gloss.

Now in front of Yang Yi, Yang Gong is not familiar with the military, just listening to Han Yao's plan to scuttle the boat, it seems quite reasonable, but it is a pity that Han Zhong does not use it, he is sighing and depressed, Han Yao put on a "heroes in the world are all in my ears" Celebrity madness, he was immediately confused, and regardless of his noble status, he quickly listened to the clever strategy: "Mr. teach me." ”

Han Yao couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw that the other party seemed to have taken the bait, of course, there was still a clear cloud on the surface, he waved his hand lightly, and said slowly: "When I came, I saw the soldiers and horses moving on the way, and I wanted to go to Daliaoshui, and I wanted to reject the enemy because of it." However, Liaoshui is not more than the river, and it is not the flood season, and there are many dense forests in its west, which are cut down by giant trees and tied to ropes, and they can be crossed. From Liaoyang down to the sea, more than 300 miles, the enemy is feasible, and our troops are weak, and the combined troops are difficult to resist......"

This is a well-thought-out statement, and it makes sense. Han Yao said, the Great Liaoshui from Liaoyang (not Liaoyang City in later generations, but in Liaozhong County) to the sea, this section of more than 300 miles, both sides of the bank are alluvial plains, and there are no hills, dangers, the Youzhou army can choose one or more places, even if there is no boat, cut some big wood and tie it into a raft can also be crossed, how should you block it?

Of course, the Liaodong Army arrived on the east bank of the Great Liaoshui in advance, so it naturally had time to set up a camp and strive to keep the enemy on the water, but with such a scattered defensive posture, it was not enough to deal with one or two times the enemy army, Han Yao said as soon as he opened his mouth that there were 100,000 troops in Youzhou, and although Yang Yi was not familiar with military affairs, he couldn't help but have doubts - will our original plan work? Isn't that a bit of a piece of paper?

In fact, the reason why the stronghold of the Liao Tunnel is important is because it is located at the confluence of the Great Liao River and the Little Liao River, if the enemy army crosses from the south, far away from Xiangping, the soldiers and horses of the Liao Tunnel are enough to block it in time, and if it crosses from the north, it will be sandwiched on the narrow road between the two rivers and be easily broken. However, this advantage is only relative, and it depends on how the other party uses troops - later Sima Yi went around to the upper reaches of the Great Liao River, so as to cross, and the defenders of the Liao Tunnel failed to prevent it, so they had to chase all the way, and finally retreated to the Shoushan near Xiangping, which was broken by the Wei army. It is the Youzhou soldiers of the Xunsuo Department, of course, there is no elite of the Cao Wei Central Army brought out by Sima Zhongda in parallel time and space, but the problem is that Xun can make this comparison, and Yangyi has nowhere to compare.

So the more Yang Yi pondered it, the more she felt that there was a loophole in the original plan - what should I do? I had no choice but to religiously ask for advice from Mr. Han in front of me. (To be continued......)

PS: Maybe some friends think that this chapter is filled with a lot of water, but recently I read some posts on the Internet, and I was really upset about Miaocai, and I couldn't help but write such a large paragraph, and I ask readers and friends to understand my feelings, please forgive me.
