I'm sorry, I couldn't change it yesterday, and I have to go to Zhengzhou on the weekend. Come up in the first half of the festival, go out to do something in the evening, and make up for the second half of the festival when you come back.

——

As soon as the final word was made, it was decided to go to Xuzhou tomorrow night.

The general direction must be determined, and other details, such as sending a letter to Yidu, confidential work, etc., are responsible for Pan Xianer and others, and Zhao Guo, as the main general, needs to do one is to coordinate the overall situation, and the other is naturally to choose the generals who lead the army and the battalion head who participated in the attack. As for Ju Sheng, he drove the road in the middle of the night in the stars and moons, and after eating, his stomach was full, and he couldn't help but be sleepy, so he went to rest first.

They made a decision on their side and started working on it; On Wu Jun's side, there is still a heated dispute and discussion.

……

Chang Yuchun and the generals said: "Capture Xuzhou within the same day!" ”

The generals were all confused, and some secretly thought to themselves: "It won't be tomorrow to fight Xuzhou, right?" ”

How can you not know the thoughts of the generals when you meet spring? At a glance, he guessed the concerns of this cadre, and said: "I knew that you were as timid as a mouse, and the lord had already made a plan. He said to Feng Guosheng, "General Feng, please tell them about the lord's strategy for taking Xuzhou." ”

Feng Guosheng promised, came out of the train, turned to face the generals, coughed, and said unhurriedly: "This time, my department crossed the Yellow River north, and before leaving, the lord had a special instruction, saying that it would be okay to rush to aid the Yan army, no matter whether the battle of Shanzhou was won or lost, but this Xuzhou must be taken!" ”

The generals in the tent were silent and listened attentively to what he had to say.

"As we all know, Xuzhou is a big city. Although the defenders and defenders of this city were once defeated by our subordinates, since they have this city, they have an advantageous position. Our army is small, and just as you have doubts, there are only about 4,000 soldiers in battle now. How to use these 4,000 people to take Xuzhou? First of all, it is obvious that a hard attack will not work. So, how do you do that? ”

General Zheng Dahu said: "I just want to ask the general for advice. ”

Feng Guosheng smiled and said, "There is indeed a wonderful strategy, but it is not something I came up with,......。 "Look at Chang Yuchun," it wasn't Chang who came up with it, but Mr. Liu came up with it. ”

Mr. Liu is Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. Just as Zhuge Kongming was just when he was a fledgling, he was very unpopular with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; When Liu Bowen first entered Jinling, the generals of Jinling also had the slightest respect for him. However, just as Zhuge Liang burned out his majesty in Bowangpo, Liu Bowen was the same, and after many dedications, he gradually won the respect of the generals of Jinling.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu Bowen and others, and always only called him "Mr.", but never called him by his name; Therefore, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Guosheng and others also called him like this.

Listening to Liu Ji's strategy, the main generals in the tent were all interested. Zheng Dahu asked, "Oh? But I don't know what Mr. Liu's plan is? Can we use 4,000 of us to take down the big city of Xuzhou? ”

"It's a simple strategy. Our troops have crossed the river to the north and fought with Wang Baobao in Shanzhou, and there are not many military horses in our north, only 5,000 people; Then, the Xuzhou guards are defenseless, and we never imagined that our real intention would be to attack Xuzhou! Taking advantage of this opportunity, we have taken the lead in terms of fighters. ”

"We all know this, what about the specific tactics? Even if we take the lead, even if the defenders of Xuzhou are incompetent, after all, Xuzhou is a big city, all kinds of defense facilities are complete, if there is no miracle strategy, I am afraid it will be difficult to overcome in a battle. If we delay for time, we will only have four or five thousand people, and it will be difficult to succeed. ”

"Not bad. Therefore, Mr. Liu believes that we should outwit this battle, and not be nervous. ”

"How to outwit?"

"In short, use the tactics of the suspicious soldiers to get them out of the city; Then he used suspicious tactics to seize the city. Although it is "in a nutshell", Feng Guosheng's words are too simple, and all the generals look at each other. Zheng Dahu plucked up his courage and said: "The last general is ignorant, please tell the general in detail." ”

"After the battle in Shanzhou ended, the rumor was released, and it was said that the Yan army would invite our department to a banquet and have a great pleasure for three days. And then so and so, to the city of Xuzhou; And so and so and so, lure him out of the city; Finally, conquer the city! ”

After talking about Liu Bowen's strategy, all the generals were happy, and a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and they all said: "If you follow this strategy, it will be easy to take Xuzhou!" ”

Just as he was rejoicing, Zheng Dahu suddenly remembered something, withdrew his smile, glanced at Chang Yuchun's expression, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Liu's plan is certainly a good plan. Just, sir? ”

"How?"

"But it was said, 'After the battle in Shanzhou is over', then we will be asked to take Xuzhou! Now, the city of Shanzhou has not been captured, and according to your meaning, my department will go south in the 'same day', this, this? Isn't it disobeying the command of the lord? ”

Chang Yuchun frowned and said, "When the husband acts, he should respond to the situation." Today, we are planning to do this for a major event related to the royal spirit of Jinling! The so-called 'will be outside, the king's order is not affected'. Although the lord had the order to 'take Xuzhou after the end of the battle in Shanzhou', the lord did not know the changes that had taken place on the front line today. How can we sit idly by and watch the opportunity pass away and fail because of this? ”

Zheng Dahu still hesitated and said, "But? ”

"But what? You don't have to say it! I know what you're afraid of! What is loyalty? You don't have to be loyal to orders! Men must act without responsibility! Today's 'impromptu response' is actually loyalty. The lord is wise and martial, and he will definitely know my thoughts. Even if there is any blame, I will do my best to do it, and I will not punish you. ”

Zheng Dahu was still worried, and muttered, "But, my lord,......。 ”

Chang Yuchun lost his patience, became furious, brushed his sleeves up, and reprimanded: "The military order is disobeyed. How can you miss the opportunity and not cross the river to attack? Isn't it better to profit by disobeying orders than not being able to complete the task? Go south to the Yellow River and capture Xuzhou, this matter is so decided! General Feng, General Cai,......。 ”

Feng Guosheng and Cai Qian responded: "Yes." ”

"Now you go down and start preparing, and when we wait until tomorrow evening, we will quietly pull out the camp and go south."

The two of them answered the call together. Cai Qian thought for a moment and said, "My lord, of course it is right to go south today, but General Zheng is also suspicious. We are now cooperating with the Yan army to attack Shanzhou, and if we quietly go south tomorrow night, it will inevitably vacate the gap in the west of Shanzhou, so that the Yan army will not be able to form an encirclement of Shanzhou. Will? Because of this, it attracted the dissatisfaction of King Yan? ”

If this caused Deng She's dissatisfaction, it would be in vain to go north to help.

"The lesser of two evils! On the one hand, King Yan's dissatisfaction, on the other hand, is the possibility of losing Xuzhou. Lao Cai, which one do you choose? King Yan's dissatisfaction can be said again. If you lose Xuzhou, can you just talk about it? ”

"Yes. That's what the adults said. ”

"So be it. Before I go south tomorrow night, I will leave a letter and put it in my account. I will explain it to Zhao Guo and King Yan. Whatever they may think, at least our army has not lost its courtesy. ”

Cai Qian nodded and said, "Just according to what the adults said." ”

……

Zhao Guo and Chang Yuchun, the commanders of the Yan and Wu armies, although one stammered and the other was thirsty for killing, but they were able to sit in this position in the troubled times, but none of them were stupid, and they all saw the strangeness of the other party from all kinds of clues. It is also because they have their own scheming, so they all made decisions and made decisions on the spot. And the decision is still the same: it's all going south tomorrow night!

I really don't know what it will be like when the two troops leave the camp tomorrow night and meet on the way!

The battle of Bowangpo was done by Liu Bei, but it actually had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.
