Chapter 31: A Good Strategy

After Duanmu Ci finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xuan with a confident expression, and then glanced at the generals present, most of them had an expectant expression, but the generals standing beside Geng Chun still looked scornful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Xuan glanced at him seriously and said, "Please also ask the military advisor to make it clear." ”

Duanmu Ci shook the goose feather fan lightly, smiled and said, "Dare to ask how far is the Dutong camp from Wancheng?" ”

"It's only twenty miles." Liu Jiu replied truthfully.

"When did the thief Yan You arrive in Wancheng?"

"According to the news from the spies we planted in Wancheng, yesterday, Yan You led three hundred cavalry of the Iron Spear Battalion to Wancheng, and the follow-up thousands of officers and soldiers have just set off from Yingchuan, and it is expected that they will arrive in Wancheng at noon tomorrow."

Liu Xuan looked at Duanmu Ci in surprise, he already knew this information, why did he ask again in this camp?

Duanmu Ci listened to what he said, and asked in a pretentious manner: "Then can you know when Yan You will attack?" ”

"This....the enemy army is tired from afar, although Yan You is arrogant, but the march has always been known for caution, he should rest in Wancheng for a few days, and reorganize the armament, but the soldiers are fast and fast, and he will not leave us too much time to react, so I think Yan You's army will attack in three days."

"What they say is very true." Duanmu replied.

"Since the thief army will attack after three days, then these three days are the perfect opportunity for us to prepare for battle!"

A general in the crowd wearing Xuan armor stood up and asked in a loud voice, as if a little impatiently: "I am convinced by what the military advisor said, but I still haven't explained what the best strategy is?" The enemy army is menacing, and if our army holds on to this place, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! ”

Immediately, another person stood up and said, "That's right! There are so many of them, and they are well-armed, how can they fight with our few broken knives? It's better to go directly to Nanyang and tell Wang Yi the old man, and say that he won't fight, maybe we will have an official to do after recruiting An! ”

"That's it, if you don't fight, you won't have any chance of winning, so we won't do a loss-making deal!"

The words spoken by these people were like stones thrown into a pan of oil, instantly making the atmosphere in the military tent boil. Some generals were caught in their hearts and began to clamor about surrender, while the vast majority of people were still bowing their heads and groaning, but their faces had begun to have a trace of hesitation, and they lived up to their resoluteness just now.

Liu Xuan was noisy on the stage, his brain hurts, what he is most disgusted with is the matter of his subordinates to recruit An, most of these people with no ambitions used to be idle gangsters, but they were good at fighting bravely and ruthlessly before they were accepted by Liu Xuan, when the uprising was indeed a moment of bravery, and now the team has grown and began to retreat, when the rebellion is like child's play? Such a black sheep must be completely eliminated when this matter is here.

Liu Xuan secretly made up his mind in his heart, but the anger at the moment was still written on his face.

"Silence! Do you still have me in your eyes?! ”

Liu Xuan's prestige in the rebel army was still there, and after he roared, the entire military tent instantly fell silent, and even the thorns who were the most happy just now hurriedly shut up.

Duanmu Ci saw that the situation had reached his expectations, and if it dragged on like this, maybe even Liu Jiu would start to doubt himself. So he put away his trademark smile, looked at the generals with a serious face, and said slowly: "You are eager to kill the enemy, and you deeply understand, but the current enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is really unwise to fight the front, according to what you see, you should outwit it!" ”

"Oh? Dare to ask the military advisor, how to outwit? ”

"Wancheng is only twenty miles away from the camp, and the hills and ravines are criss-crossed, and the march is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, Yan You's army will definitely choose a relatively flat official road to march, and only five miles east from here, there is a mountain called 'Niutou Mountain', which is just on the march route of Yan You's army. ”

"I know Niutoushan! My family lives at the foot of Niutou Mountain! A black-faced man in the crowd shouted.

Duanmu Ci paused slightly, and continued: "The Niutou Mountain road is rugged, only one place is relatively flat for a large army to gallop, and there are cliffs on both sides of this intersection, and the mountains are full of gravel blocks. The capital only needs to send a few hundred people to guard the mountain, and when Yan You's army enters the valley, as soon as the order is given, it will fly down the rocks and trees, and then send people to firmly guard the pass. And at this time...... Hey hey...."

Liu Xuan saw the lewd smile on Duanmu Ci's face, and felt a chill behind him for no reason. To be honest, although the idea given by Duanmu seems to be very good, there are too many flaws and leaks, and it really shouldn't be the so-called "good strategy" he came up with in Liu Xuan's heart.

Sure enough, the generals below couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard that the military advisor who was so respected by their own families had been holding back for a long time and just came up with such a thing. It's just that they are all hindered by Liu Xuan's face and don't show it too much, but shaking their heads and snorting coldly is inevitable.

Duanmu Ci also knew that they would react like this, to be honest, the ancients were not stupid, these simple strategies and a little more clever people can think of it, the most important thing is to see how to implement it, because once Yan You notices the change or someone leaks these words, everything Duanmu Ci said cannot happen, but it will be in danger.

He pretended not to see everyone's disdainful gaze, and continued to say calmly: "Although this plan is ordinary, as long as you can retreat from the enemy, it is a good strategy. Gifted with shallow learning, I can only think of this plan for this matter, and I hope that you will be able to do so. ”

Liu Xuan looked at Duanmu Ci with a cloudy face, and then at his subordinates with disdainful faces, making a difficult decision in his heart. He is not a person who likes to be entangled, and after thinking about it, he finally had to sigh as a dead horse and say, "Alas! That's it! That's all it has to be for now! I also hope that the military division will give an order, and we will definitely do what we are told! ”

Duanmu Ci saw that Liu Xuan chose to believe in himself, and there was also a trace of warmth in his heart. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's all serious!" It is just a matter of giving advice, and specific matters still have to be ordered. ”

Liu Xuan also knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to hesitate. He was already quite resolute, and after arching his hand to Duanmu Ci at this moment, he stood up and gave orders, saying: "Geng Chun, Yu De, allocate 500 men and horses from your two headquarters, and order you and others to train your subordinates more, and when the enemy army attacks, they will be responsible for guarding the pass, and no one will be allowed to pass the pass!" ”

"Order!" Geng Chun took the arrow, stared at Duanmu Ci deeply with his tiger-like eyes, and then walked out of the military tent with the other person.

After Liu Xuan waited for them to take the order to leave, he ordered one after another: "Fang Jie, Ge Yu, allocate a thousand soldiers and horses from your headquarters, and order Er and the others to immediately rush to the outside of Niutou Mountain to set up camp, collect stones, cut down trees, and I will see enough fallen trees and rolling stones in three days!" ”

"No!" The general who shouted just now that his home was at the foot of Niutou Mountain was Fang Jie, and he replied in a rough voice like a trumpet: "Gotcha! Boss Liu, just take a look! If I don't have enough stones for a cockfight in three days, I'll come to see you! ”

Liu Xuan returned angrily: "What do I want your head for?" Collect the stones for me, don't get in the way!" Go, go, go! ”

"Hey, hey." Fang Jie touched the back of his head and laughed twice, then took the arrow and strode out of the camp.

"Tian Cheng, I order you to lead a hundred people to collect all the excellent weapons of the whole army......"

"Li Yun, I order you to ........."

“………….”

In the military tent, Liu Xuan was still giving orders, Gao Yuan and the others were waiting quietly, and everyone's attention was focused on him. What no one noticed was that in a corner of the military tent, the man who was about to call for peace just now was looking at everyone with a gloomy face, a cold light quietly flashed from the corner of his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
