Opening(4)
Zhuge Liang said: "In order to save food, the food officer in charge has greatly reduced the food of the soldiers in the past few days, and many people can only eat seven points full or even half full. β
"There's no way around it." Xiang Yu looked helpless, "The military advisor said that our army's food stock is only enough for twenty days. β
"Fifteenth."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Twenty days is to provide food according to the standard of the grain officer, if the soldiers are allowed to fill their stomachs, the existing food can only last for fifteen days at most." β
"The meaning of the military advisor ......"
γSinging Chips and Measuring Sandγ
A word suddenly appeared in Xiang Yu's mind, and he had an incomparably clear idea, and he knew that this was the benefit of crossing.
If the current overlord is still yesterday's overlord, it is absolutely impossible to think of this idea, it is precisely because he has the memory of time travel that his thinking is alive.
Although there was a countermeasure, Xiang Yu didn't want to say it, but waited for Zhuge Liang to offer a plan.
[He is a military advisor, the credit should be given to Zhuge Liang, establish his authority as soon as possible]
Zhuge Liang obviously didn't know the word "singing chips to measure the sand", he put the feather fan on the sand table, and gestured with his hand: "When our army dug the trench, a lot of sand and soil were piled up, and we can take advantage of the middle of the night to send henchmen to put the sand and soil into sacks, and then pile it up with the grain, and deliberately let the soldiers see it after dawn." β
"Secondly, in the past few days, instead of reducing the food of the soldiers, we must let them eat more than before. It is necessary to encourage the officers and men of the three armies and tell them that our army's food is enough to last for three months, and to confront Liu Bang for a long time. β
"In this way, the morale of our army will not collapse in a short time, and after the king captures the eastern city, Liang will dispatch the team and retreat to the south in an orderly manner. Although Dongcheng is a small county town, if you think of a way, you should be able to scrape together a month's worth of food. β
"Strategist's clever plan."
Xiang Yu gave a heartfelt thumbs up, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought.
A smart person is a smart person, and as long as he is cornered, he can come up with a countermeasure.
This is different from the [Singing Chips and Measuring Sand] that Xiang Yu took from his memory, Zhuge Liang came up with it by himself, and Xiang Yu, who fused it with his memory, learned from it.
But in any case, as a representative of the brave fighting faction in Chinese history and as a leader in the military situation, the overlord of Western Chu is growing his brain, which makes Xiang Yu happy for himself from the bottom of his heart.
The overlord obeyed his advice, which made Zhuge Liang's confidence increase sharply, and he touched the feather fan again and shook it a few times: "If the king can successfully defeat Yingbu, he can take two moves, first capture Dongcheng, and then respond to the retreat of the army." At the same time, a highly respected general was sent to cross the river and go to Jiangdong to recruit reinforcements. β
Xiang Yu's gaze fell on the small county town of Dongcheng.
This is a small county town in the easternmost part of Jiujiang County, with more than 20,000 residents in the city, and the city walls are low, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to resist the 600,000 Han coalition army.
But if you can take this city as a support, it will definitely be much better than fighting with the Han army in the field.
The problem facing the Chu army was not only that they ran out of food, but that because of the fierce battle with the Han army for three months, which lasted from early autumn to midwinter, the soldiers still wore thin autumn clothes, which was also a fatal problem.
If you can take Dongcheng, you can undoubtedly get a wave of effective supplies.
"Alas......"
Xiang Yu sighed deeply, only to realize that he was so short-sighted before.
In the defeat of Qixia, the Chu army was not only defeated on the battlefield, nor just lost in strategy, but was suppressed in all directions, from strategy, to tactics, to logistics and supply, and was almost completely crushed by Liu Bang's group.
The reason why Liu Bang has continuous combat capability, in addition to Han Xin's large-scale roundabout, is also due to Xiao He's continuous delivery of soldiers, grain, grass, horses and other materials to the front line.
And what does Xichu have? The answer is nothing!
The Western Chu under the rule of Xiang Yu had neither a complete shogunate organization, nor a strategic depth, nor any logistical supplies, and there was even only one strategist under him, and the others were all martial artists such as Long Ji, Ji Bu, and Zhong Liwu.
The Chu army fought in the east and west, relying on the worship of the three armies to the overlord of Western Chu, and relying on an invincible belief, it is a miracle that it can persist until now.
[I retract what I said before, the battle of the Castle is not that the sky is going to kill me, but it is actually that I have the courage to have no strategy, or disdain to use it. γ
[A true hero should be brave and resourceful, not stubborn and self-serving. From now on, I, Xiang Yu, will get rid of all my shortcomings, and the only thing I will keep is the backbone of not admitting defeat, and I will never change the ambition of the overlord of Western Chu]
Xiang Yu stroked the sand table with both hands, his heart was full of remorse and guilt, he had harmed Yu Ji and the 100,000 Chu army.
"The Han army has been singing Chu songs, which has greatly shaken the morale of our army, and Liang can't deal with it for a while."
The expression on Zhuge Liang's face was no more relaxed than Xiang Yu's, and he pinched his chin with one hand and thought hard about countermeasures, "This Chu Ge is too deadly, even greater than the impact of food shortage, is there any way to resolve it?" If the Han army is allowed to continue singing like this, it may not be able to wait for the food to run out, and the army's morale will be completely broken. β
Xiang Yu's eyes turned, and there was a spirit flowing in his heart, and he instantly counted it in his heart: "I have a strategy to solve Chu Ge's danger." β
"I want to hear about it."
Zhuge Liang looked surprised, he really didn't expect that the overlord of Western Chu, who had never disdained to use stratagems, would have a countermeasure.
Yu Ji, who was standing behind the two, was overjoyed, her eyes flowed with expectation, and she murmured in her heart: "The concubine knows that you are an invincible king, no one can defeat you, you must have a way to break this crisis." β
"Sing."
Xiang Yu slowly spit out two words, "Give back to the other in the way of the other." β
"Give back to the other in his own way?"
This sentence comes from the "Zuo Chuan" in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuge Liang understands the meaning of this sentence, but he doesn't understand the meaning of Xiang Yu?
You can't sing Chu songs in the Han army, and our army can't sing Han songs, right? Besides, the Han Kingdom has only been established for two years, so how can Han Ge come from?
Xiang Yu was sure that his method could resolve the embattled crisis, and frowned and said: "Military advisor, you have to find three hundred soldiers with loud voices and good at singing, and there must be a way to solve Chu Ge's crisis." β
"General Zilong will do."
Zhuge Liang recommended Zhao Yun without hesitation, "He not only has a loud voice, but also has a melodious singing voice, and the Chu songs he sings are very infectious." β
[Zhao Yun really appeared in this world, it's really good, and he has another general]
Hearing Zhao Yun's name, Xiang Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that this world has indeed been affected by the game, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun were both born.
It's a pity that for the sake of the fairness of the game, he only implanted this article and martial arts in the Chu State at the beginning.
knew that this was the case, and it would have been cool if Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Sima Yi, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had all been added to his command.
The generals of the Three Kingdoms are still valuable at the end of the Han Dynasty, even if they can't fight Han Xin and Zhang Liang, can't they beat Fan Xu and Zhou Bo?
[It's a pity, since Long Ji died, the only generals I can use are Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu......]
As for the Yu Zi period, it does not exist, Yu Ji does not have such an elder brother, and she does not even have relatives.
Just when Xiang Yu was full of emotion, Zhuge Liang had already walked into the handsome tent with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of Xiang Yu, was a little shorter than him, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, and a burly body wearing a silver armor with a white cloak, looking majestic and majestic.
"Meet the King."
Zhao Yun saluted, his eyes were full of admiration, "The military advisor said that the king should look for someone who is good at singing, and Yun is a little clearer." β
"Okay, Zilong!"
Xiang Yu patted Zhao Yun's shoulder heavily, "What position do you live in now?" β
"The last general is now in the position of lieutenant." Zhao Yun replied with his hand.
Xiang Yu bowed his head: "From now on, you will be a general." Go to the army now, and find me three hundred soldiers who are good at singing, and hurry! β
"Whoa!"
Zhao Yun agreed, turned around and left.
Xiang Yu and Zhuge Liang continued to study the details of the breakthrough in the army, first of all, Xiang Yu led 3,000 elite cavalry to attack the Yingbu camp at night, and it was best to launch a surprise attack within three days, sooner rather than later.
As for why it was three thousand, not more, because Zhuge Liang felt that the scale was too large and it was easy to expose his whereabouts, so Yingbu was prepared in advance.
"Eight hundred is enough!"
Xiang Yu did not hesitate to decide on the number of surprise attacks, Zhang Wenyuan can break Sun Quan with 800 horses, can't I, the overlord of Western Chu, defeat Yingbu's rebels?
As for the candidates to be recruited south, Xiang Yu hoped that it would be Zhuge Liang, and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Military advisor, you break through with your family, and you will be recruited by the south." β
The reason why Xiang Yu wanted Zhuge Liang to accompany him was because he had his own ideas.
Thousands of armies are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and an eternal sage like Kong Ming is even more difficult to find.
Xiang Yu now even thinks that Zhuge Liang's value is higher than that of 100,000 Chu troops, as long as he can successfully escape to Jiangdong with him, with his own courage and good fighting, coupled with Zhuge Liang's strategy, even if he can't defeat Liu Bang, he can also row the river and rule.
The 100,000 Chu army can escape as much as they want, Zhuge Kongming is now his own green mountain, and he is the hope of turning the tables.
Zhuge Liang naturally understood what Xiang Yu meant, his eyelids jumped imperceptibly, and after a little thought, he said: "King, let's let General Ji Bu go, his prestige is higher than mine." Liang stayed to sit in the camp, the king is not there, maybe only I can stabilize the situation. β
Xiang Yu's nose twitched, thought about it and nodded slowly: "Okay, then follow the military division." β
Xiang Yu knew that Zhuge Liang's words were by no means alarmist, without great wisdom, he would not be able to play the current situation at all, Zhong Liwu, Ji Bu, and Zhao Yun did not have this ability. The last time was after he fled, and the army of 80,000 collapsed in less than a day.
Moreover, Xiang Yu also knew that the reason why he lost so badly was that people's hearts were turned against him was also fatal, and almost everyone in the world except for Chu was dissatisfied with the overlord of Western Chu. At the time of the fierce battle between Chu and Han, none of the princes stood up to help the Chu army.
The hearts of the people of Chu are already Xiang Yu's last reliance, and they must not lose the hearts of the people again until they have to do so.
"Great King, Yun has been ordered to gather the brothers of the three hundred good songs."
Just when Xiang Yu and Zhuge Liang were discussing the details, the door curtain was lifted, and Zhao Yun walked in again and hugged his fists to restore his life.
