287, clever tongue like a spring
Wang Du is worthy of being the think tank of the Yongzhou army, cultivating the way of vertical and horizontal, and he is the vertical and horizontal family among the hundreds of princes, in the face of Chu He's sarcasm, he did not change color at all, but said in a deep voice: "Can General Chu know? Our army was originally in Yongchang City, thousands of miles away, and was besieged by hundreds of thousands of rebels, why did it appear here?"
Chu He looked at Wang Du with interest: "Could it be that there is any reason why Ben Shuai doesn't know it?"
He was indeed a little curious, Master Qin Shengnan felt that this matter was strange at the beginning, and listening to Wang Du's words, there were really some secrets that he didn't know.
Wang Du nodded, and no matter what Chu He's reaction was, he said straightforwardly: "Our army is surrounded by rebels, but on the road to retreat, there are Yellow Turban Army guards, if our army leaves from the south of the city, it will definitely be blocked by the Yellow Turban Army outside Qingyun Road." ”
"When the rebels were attacking the city with all their might, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly withdrew from Qingyun Road, so that our army could retreat from Yongchang City safely. ”
"Subsequently, our army went all the way south, attacked the city and plundered the land, and finally arrived at the land of southern Xinjiang, but there were many twists and turns, as if someone was secretly leading us to march, and it was not until now that the official figured out the reason. ”
Chu He's eyes narrowed slightly: "Wang Zhizhong means that the Yellow Turban Army deliberately led the Yongzhou Army to Tianshui County to fight our army?"
Wang Du did not answer Chu He's words, and continued: "Although our army Lu Kai was defeated by General Chu, the real elite of the Yongzhou army is under the banner of the state pastor, and now there are still 100,000 elite soldiers. Although General Chu has elite soldiers and strong generals, it is not easy to destroy my Yongzhou army. ”
"If two tigers fight, one will be injured, and I hope General Chu will think twice, so as not to be taken advantage of!"
Chu He suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect Wang Zhizhong to think so much about my Chang Dingjun." ”
"However, Ben Shuai has always believed in only one sentence: the sky is big, and the fist is the biggest!"
"Whether it's the Yongzhou Army, or the Yellow Turban Army, I've never been afraid of anyone in Chuhe, the Yongzhou Army is coming, I'm Changding Army going back, the Yellow Turban Army is coming, and it's the same!"
His eyes suddenly became extremely sharp and full of oppression, staring at Wang Du deadly, like a tiger staring at its prey: "What Wang Zhizhong said above is nothing more than one sentence, the soldiers and horses of this commander and the Yongzhou army will be defeated and injured, and they will finally be taken advantage of by the Yellow Turban Army." ”
"It's just that Wang Zhizhong may have guessed one thing wrong, my Changding army wants to destroy the Yongzhou army, it may be a little difficult, but it is impossible to lose both!"
"With the strength of my Changding army, at the cost of up to 3,000 casualties of soldiers and horses, you can completely wipe out the Yongzhou army, as long as it is supplemented by the Yongzhou army, my Changding army will only become stronger and stronger, how dare the Yellow Turban Army come to pick up this handsome tiger beard!"
As if cooperating with Chu He's words, the giant eyes of the golden tiger suddenly competed, the fierce light burst out, the tiger's mouth opened, the tiger roared with the scarlet wind spewed out, and the breath of the terrifying five-grade demon beast suppressed towards Wang Du, even Wang Du couldn't withstand the terrifying momentum of this terrible demon beast, and took a few steps back uncontrollably!
This heir of the Tiger King, whose strength is at a time of rapid improvement, is now at the peak level of the fifth grade, his blood is extremely strong, and his combat power is even better than that of the sixth-grade dragon horned fire bull.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Du, a fourth-grade bachelor, even if his strength is at the peak, he will definitely not be able to stop the momentum of the golden tiger pounce and bite!
Wang Du's face suddenly turned pale, and he finally stopped, and glanced at the Dijin Tiger in horror, unable to understand why so many terrifying beasts could be subdued in the Changding army.
With his eyesight, he can't see the details and origin of the Golden Tiger at all, and he doesn't know that the Golden Tiger is the bloodline of the Tiger King, and he has the magical power of the Beast King who acts for the tiger.
He took a few steps back, his face turned pale, but his tone did not soften at all, and he gritted his teeth and continued: "The soldiers under General Chu are brave and good at fighting, and their armor is extremely sharp, but they may not be too conceited!"
"My Yongzhou army is a soldier of a hundred battles, after many bloody battles, the army has a second-grade military strength, and the sword cavalry under the command of the state pastor has been promoted to a third-grade strong army!
Chu He waved his hand: "Wang Yan has iron bones and martial arts, which can improve the protection of soldiers, which is equivalent to putting on iron armor, in the eyes of this commander, it is not worth mentioning!"
Wang Du was really shocked at this time, gasped, and looked at Chu He with a shocked gaze: "General Chu actually knows the iron bones and martial arts of Lord Zhou Mu?"
Chu He said lightly: "If there are 10,000 sword riders, all of them are second-grade martial artists, plus the blessing of iron and martial arts, they can resist the Qianyuan Guard under the command of this commander." ”
"It's a pity that the Kui Dao Cavalry is already less than five thousand, and the elite martial artists are only two thousand at most, even if they have the blessing of iron bone and martial arts, they can only withstand my two thousand hidden abyss guards. ”
"Of the 100,000 troops in Yongzhou, the only thing that can make this commander look at him is these thousands of swordsmen. The rest of the soldiers and horses, the strength of the soldiers is mediocre, and the armor in their hands is even more torn and rotten, which is not worth mentioning. ”
Chu He's tone became extremely conceited, and he said coldly with an arrogant expression: "This seat only needs to use the elite soldiers of the three guards, supplemented by a strong steel armor bow, to easily defeat it, and then send five thousand cavalry to kill the scattered soldiers." ”
He did not hide the combat strength of the Changding army at all, and it is estimated that the Yongzhou army also knew about these things, and his body suddenly stood up, and his eyes looked at Wang Du condescendingly with an incomparably strong aggressiveness: "Wang Zhizhong still thinks that he can defeat both the Changding army of this commander?"
Wang Du's cheeks twitched a few times, and finally gritted his teeth: "Soldiers are impermanent, once the battle starts, it may not be as Chu Shuai expected!"
"My Yongzhou army is victorious in the number of people, countless war horses, and countless generals under his command, if Lord Zhou Mu knows that he is not defeated by the Changding army, I am afraid that he will not stay in place and fight with Chu Shuai!"
"If our army divides its troops, turns into a hundred thousand-strong troops, led by the generals in the army, scatters everywhere, and even directly enters Tianshui County, I don't know what countermeasures Chu Shuai has?"
Chu He couldn't help but be silent, this Wang Du really said that he had a weakness.
The Yongzhou army is afraid that it has more than 30,000 cavalry, and if it is divided into troops, even the Changding army will be divided into 100 teams, each team of 300 people, and they will be divided and suppressed, but in this way, it will not be able to fully play the role of the steel bow in group injuries, and the casualties will definitely increase greatly.
Moreover, this decisive battle will turn into a big melee.
With the number of war horses of the Yongzhou army, the mobility must greatly exceed that of the Changding army, if these well-trained soldiers are allowed to break into Tianshui County, ordinary people and those guards and militia are by no means the opponents of the Yongzhou army, I am afraid that it will set off a boundless bloody storm in Tianshui County.
Chu He's face was gloomy, and he looked at Wang Du deeply for a long time, and his tone became gloomy: "Wang Zhizhong really threatens Ben Shuai?"
Wang Du shook his head: "This official doesn't dare!" Wang just told General Chu the fact that with the eloquence and strategy of Lord Zhou Mu, even if the Yongzhou Army is not the opponent of the Changding Army, there are definitely other ways to deal with it. ”
Chu He sat down slowly, closed his eyes, and muttered for a long time, before finally nodding slightly: "If Wang Yan does this, it will make Ben Shuai a little troublesome, but it is not really impossible to deal with." ”
"However, in fact, Ben Shuai does not have to destroy the Yongzhou Army, if the Yongzhou Army can show enough sincerity to make up for the loss of this Marshal this time, and guarantee to withdraw from Tianshui County for 2,000 miles, Ben Shuai can let the Yongzhou Army leave. ”
Wang Du secretly said in his heart that Chu He really still had hole cards, but he still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said quietly on his face: "I'm afraid that my Yongzhou army will not be able to enter the eyes of General Chu, if there is enough rice, grain, money and silver, it will not be able to wave the army in Tianshui County, and those armor and weapons are probably not worth mentioning." ”
Chu He sneered: "Could it be that Wang Zhizhong thinks that after beating my Tianshui County, and then saying sorry, he can retreat safely?"
Wang Du pondered for a moment, and looked around, although there were only Chu He and a dozen guards in the big tent, plus a white tiger demon beast, but Wang Du knew that there must be many soldiers and generals outside the tent to take care of him, so he lowered his voice and said: "General Chu, this official has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"
Chu He waved his hand: "You speak!"
Wang Du nodded: "Dare to ask General Chu, does General Chu think that the anti-Shu rebels can resist the millions of imperial court counterinsurgency troops led by Zhuge Wen's blind date?"
Chu He groaned and said: "Although the anti-Shu army seems to be powerful, but in the end it only controls a place in the south, and now it has blocked the counterinsurgency army with the benefit of Tongtianhe, but it lacks war potential. ”
Chu He's words were sincere.
Although he did not leave Tianshui County, he was also well aware of the situation in various parts of the southern region.
Now the anti-Shu army consumes all the accumulation of previous years in the south, the enemy within a radius of thousands of miles, the people are not able to make a living, most of the young and strong are requisitioned or fleeing, and the grain output is declining rapidly.
When the rice and grain were not enough to maintain the consumption of the army, the morale of the anti-Shu army would definitely plummet, and it would never be able to resist the offensive of the Shu army.
Chu He is now increasing its support for the Southern Barbarian Army, and the trade of armor has made a lot of profits, which is to delay the speed of the Shu army's victory.
Wang Du glanced at Chu He in slight surprise, and he couldn't imagine that this vicious dog who could only protect food could see the battle situation so thoroughly, and it saved him a lot of saliva, so he said in a deep voice: "This official judges that the anti-Shu army can only support it for three years at most, and then it will be defeated by the imperial army." ”
"With all due respect, what General Chu is doing now is not what the imperial court wants to see, once the imperial army crosses the Tongtian River and millions of male soldiers go south, I wonder if General Chu can think of retreating?"
Chu He's face became solemn, and he arched his hand towards Wang Du: "Please also ask Wang Zhizhong for advice!"
Wang Du hurriedly said: "Don't dare to teach it!"
"According to this official, the defeat of the anti-Shu army is a matter of time, if General Chu can respond to the call of the imperial court, join forces with my Yongzhou army, raise troops to attack the anti-Shu army, and cooperate with the imperial army, he will definitely be able to quickly disintegrate the rebel front and make great contributions for the imperial court!"
"At that time, Lord Zhou Mu will definitely write to the imperial court and ask for credit for General Chu. This official can assert that a six-rank general of Zhengnan will definitely not be able to run, and it is even possible to give General Chu the title of the seven-rank chariot general, add the king of Zhennan, and sit in the southern Xinjiang for the imperial court. ”
Wang Du had the demeanor of a longitudinal family at this time, and his eyebrows flew and he talked eloquently: "Whether it is the general of Zhengnan or the general of the chariot cavalry, they are all important ministers and generals of the empire, and they are admired by the people of the world, isn't it much better than only occupying a mere Tianshui County?"
Chu He seemed to be greatly moved, but finally shook his head: "Wang Zhizhong also said that the army is impermanent, although the anti-Shu army is at a disadvantage now, but as far as this commander knows, Great Wei and Great Wu have already raised troops to attack, and with the power of Great Shu, they may not be able to support the three fronts." ”
"Ben Shuai still stays in Tianshui County honestly, if the imperial army really defeats the anti-Shu army, it is not too late for Ben Shuai to think about it. ”
Wang Du was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that Chu He suddenly thought of the most critical question, now Shu is not only a threat to the anti-Shu army!
In any case, the entire southern region was occupied by the rebels, and millions of soldiers and horses definitely dragged down a large number of troops of Shu, and Wei and Great Wu had many soldiers under their command, and Sima Yi and Sun Zhongmou were also overlords with great talents and strategies, so how could they let go of this great opportunity!
He also wanted to continue to persuade Chu He, but Chu He was already a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter for the time being." If you want the commander to retire, it is simple, the commander needs 10,000 war horses, plus 20,000 young soldiers, and 3 million taels of silver!"
"If Wang Yan can use it to make up for the loss of Ben Shuai, this battle will be stopped, if not, then don't blame Ben Shuai for being ruthless!"
Chu He naturally will not really move, you know, he will definitely oppose Shu, as long as the Southern Barbarian Army can support it for three or five years, the Changding Army can take the opportunity to greatly expand its power, and then take it as the core to recruit a large number of defeated anti-Shu soldiers and horses.
According to the judgment of Huang Zhong and others, as long as the Changding army has enough rice, food, money and silver, it can definitely form an army of one million in an instant, and then the Shu army will have to see if it wants to swallow the Changding army.
In addition, Chu He also knew that the army of Great Wei would not really threaten the Shu army.
According to the romance, after the death of Emperor Cao Pi, Sima Yi assisted the heir Cao Rong, but the problem was that Sima Yi was unwilling to be an auxiliary minister, and would eventually steal the authority of the Great Wei.
Now I am afraid that the Wei State is falling into civil strife, and the Wei army has no intention of fighting, and there is only one Sun Zhongmou left, which is difficult for Dashu.
The anti-Shu army will not be Zhuge Wenxiang's opponent in the end, even if there is a butterfly in his own time and space, it is difficult to affect the general trend, and he can only delay the defeat of the anti-Shu army as much as possible, and get more benefits from it.
Of course, Chu He couldn't say these words to Wang Du, and now he showed ambiguous thoughts, just trying to confuse the Shu army, so that the Shu army would not pay attention to the Changding army.
Don't look at the Shu army being stopped on the Tongtian River front, but such a court army, there must be a lot of air cavalry, and there are also a lot of elite troops, and it is definitely not a problem to send thirty or twenty thousand elite soldiers to break through to the south.
Once Zhuge Liang sets his sights on the Chang Ding Army, it will greatly hinder the development plan of the Chang Ding Army.
Wang Du saw that Chu He's tone was resolute, and there was nothing he could do, but half of the goal of this trip was achieved, as long as Chu He agreed to strike the war, everything would be easy, and then he took his leave and discussed the conditions offered by Chu He with Wang Yan and others.
