Chapter 56 Long-term planning

Chang'an Army Battalion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the defeat of the Xiliang army during the day, Chen Xu ordered the whole army to rest for three days and held a grand celebration dinner.

Qianxin hugged a large pot of food and kept stuffing it into his mouth. She still muttered indistinctly, causing Lu Lingqi to cast a contemptuous look at her.

Li Jing and Qin Qiong got together, picked up the wine jar and drank to each other, and sighed when they talked about the past when they fought together on the battlefield.

Chen Gong was alone looking up at the starry sky, gesturing in his hands, as if he was planning something.

The soldiers received large and small rewards according to their merits, sang and danced in the camp, and carried out various activities such as martial arts, wrestling, and boxing. The fatigue and depression accumulated from the long march for several days were swept away.

The next day, Chen Xu gathered everyone to discuss the matter.

Chen Gong hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Lord, our army has just won a victory, and my subordinates think that we should take advantage of the victory to pursue. Wouldn't it be too long to take a three-day break? ”

Li Jing retorted: "Li does not agree with what Mr. Gongtai said. The Xiliang army is brave, and if it chases it too quickly, it will definitely unite together to fight back.

However, judging from yesterday's battle, Ma Teng and Han Sui did not agree with each other, and Han Sui even escaped from the battle. Our army will release them back to Xiliang, which will not only make them distrust each other and cause civil strife, but also spread the strength of our army to Xiliang.

The art of war is cloudy, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. Our army can secretly provoke and co-opt, attack only one side, and let the Xiliang coalition army collapse from within. ”

Chen Gong suddenly realized, "I see, it's Chen who didn't think about it, thank you General Li for your advice." ”

Li Jing said modestly: "Where, where is what Mr. Chen said, there is also some truth. The base camp of the Xiliang coalition army is in the area of Wuwei and Jincheng, and our army can first capture the three counties of Tianshui, Anding, and Nan'an to station a large army to deter the enemy. ”

Li Jing paused for a moment and continued: "Capturing the three counties of Tianshui can not only prevent the Xiliang army from invading the Central Plains, but also use this as a springboard to attack Yongan and Hanzhong in the south. ”

Chen Xu nodded frequently after listening to Li Jing's analysis, he is worthy of being the god of the Tang Dynasty, and this strategic vision is far beyond the reach of people. The next time you increase the number of employees, you must hire him officially and keep him here to expand the territory.

The group then discussed the issue of the two captives, Ma Dai and Pound.

According to the plan formulated before, Chen Gong and Li Jing agreed that Ma Dai and Pang Dela's Ma Teng should be released, and then secretly provoke Han Sui and let them kill each other. When they are both defeated, they will send troops to take Xiliang.

Chen Xu immediately agreed.

Three days later, the Chang'an army divided into three routes to take the three counties of Tianshui, Anding, and Nan'an.

The three counties are located on the border of Xiliang and are oppressed by the Xiliang army. When the Chang'an army arrived, all the three county guards surrendered in Kaicheng, and the people were all overjoyed and spontaneously organized to eat pot pulp and welcome them.

At this point, most of Yongzhou was included in Chen Xu's hands.

As soon as this news came out, the world shook.

Cao Cao, who was far away on the front line of Guandu, heard the news, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.

During this period of time, Cao Cao, with his excellent military command ability and the strong personal force of his generals, was on par with Yuan Shao, who had several times his strength. Yuan Shao's army was blocked along the Guandu line and was not allowed to enter.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu, who took Chang'an some time ago, quietly defeated the Xiliang coalition army and drove them out of Yongzhou.

The battle report from the secret agent was circulated in the hands of the strategists and generals, and the strategist Liu Ye keenly discovered a problem.

He immediately said, "Lord, the instrument, it's the instrument." My lord, you read the battle report, Chen Xu first wiped out 5,000 cavalry in one fell swoop with a crossbow team and a ballista car, which made the Xiliang coalition army frightened. Therefore, in the subsequent battle, the morale was high, and the Xiliang coalition army, which had more troops, was defeated. ”

When Guo Jia heard what Liu Ye said, he immediately grabbed the battle report and watched it carefully.

After a while, his pale face flushed with a flush,

"Ziyang is right, Chen Xu's great victory has a lot to do with advanced weapons and equipment. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, but it was all destroyed under the joint attack of the crossbow team and the ballista. On the other hand, Chen Xujun did not have any casualties.

The cavalry still has no choice, if it is a foot pawn, is it not at the mercy of others? Terrible, really terrible. ”

Xiahoudun pouted, "Damn, with such a powerful weapon, what else do you need the army to do?" Isn't this a grabber meal with us? ”

Xu You said with a smile: "General Xiahou don't have to worry, this weapon is very restrictive, and once the two sides fight, it will be useless." ”

Cheng Yu immediately suggested: "My lord, my subordinates suggest that I immediately order the secret agents to go to Chang'an and steal a few crossbows and crossbows to imitate." ”

Cao Cao twisted his beard and said, "I really didn't expect that Chen Xu Xiao'er would have such a capable person." Someone came, and the order went down, so that the secret agents could go to Chang'an to steal the repeater and the crossbow cart. If possible, arrest the person who designed the device. ”

Strategist Liu Ye liked to invent and create when he was young, and studied some strange technologies. However, in the eyes of the rest of the people, these techniques are all strange and ingenious skills. He was deeply distressed by this and never dared to confide in outsiders.

At this moment, seeing Chen Xu's victory over the Xiliang Army with advanced equipment, he was extremely excited in his heart, and immediately told Cao Cao:

"My lord, Ye also has a lot of research on these things. Recently, a trebuchet has been imitated and improved according to ancient books, which can drop boulders for long-range attacks. I don't know if you are interested in taking a look? ”

Cao Cao was immediately overjoyed, and led everyone out of the big tent to watch the trebuchet made by Liu Ye together.

Liu Ye ordered someone to set up the test items three hundred steps away, and then operated them himself to adjust the angle of the catapult.

"Launch!"

Whew~~

Bang bang bang!

Several boulders flew into the sky, smashing stones, wooden figures, tents and other objects in the distance.

"Good! That's great! Cao Cao applauded.

The rest of the crowd echoed and congratulated Cao Cao on obtaining such a killing weapon.

"Lord, now that Yuan Shao occupies the high ground to build an arrow tower, our army can use this thing to attack and smash the arrow tower."

"Yes, yes, my subordinates suggested that the lord establish a craftsman bureau, and ask Ziyang to preside over the research and development of new weapons."

Cao Cao twisted his beard and smiled, "Ziyang, this matter will be handled by you." By the way, I see that when this trebuchet is launched, the sound is like thunder, so it might as well be called a thunderbolt. ”

"Thank you, Lord, for your name. Ye will definitely live up to the trust of the lord and devote himself to the research and development of new weapons. Liu Ye was affirmed by Cao Cao, and he was very excited.

When everyone dispersed, Cao Cao's brows furrowed tightly.

originally thought that in this world, only Yuan Shao was qualified to be his enemy. Oh, Liu Bei has a tough temperament, and if he is assisted by a resourceful person, he may be able to count one.

Unexpectedly, there was another character like Chen Xu in the world. In just over a year, he captured Chang'an, defeated Xiliang, and occupied Yongzhou, which can be described as heroes.

There is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, so look at who is the real hero between you and me.
