Chapter 246: Where the enemy is attacked, he must be saved

The monarchs and ministers were thinking hard about how to make trouble for Eastern Wu in the conference hall, Sima Yi looked at the map hanging on the wall for a long time, and asked, "I don't know how the Guiyang guard Huang Xu is a person?" Can you take on a big job? ”

"Oh?" When everyone heard Sima Yi's words, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they all raised their heads to look at Sima Yi, waiting for his next words.

"Guiyang has a main battle brigade and a local garrison division, which has a lot of people, if it is used properly, it may be able to create some trouble for Eastern Wu, but I don't know if this General Huang is capable?"

After all, Sima Yi has not been in the camp of the Shu army for a long time, and he is not familiar enough with the generals of the Shu army, so he can only make some judgments from the deployment of the Shu army, but in this year, the war does not completely depend on the number of soldiers, and the talent of the generals is also a very important factor.

Isn't there a saying that a lion leading a flock of sheep can defeat a sheep leading a flock of lions. These are Napoleon's words, but the heroes see the same thing, and obviously Sima Yi also has this understanding.

"General Huang is good, his father is General Huang Zhong, and he is also a sharpshooter and a special operations hero. The command talent is also very remarkable, at the beginning in Leping, he used the terrain of Huilong to lock the water to ambush Liu Feng's troops, annihilated the enemy, and outwitted the White Emperor City, he is a brave and resourceful person.

I asked him to go to Guiyang because I planned to stab Soochow in the back if necessary. Speaking of which, he has been going to Guiyang for a while, and I believe that his integration of the local garrison has almost been completed. Now is the time to use him. Liu Houdao.

Since the Battle of White Emperor City, Liu Hou felt that Huang Xu was a cultivable talent, and asked him to go to a relatively remote place like Guiyang, not to exile him, but to entrust him with a heavy task. According to Liu Hou's original idea, at the critical time of the war with Soochow, let him open up a second battlefield on the southern front, attack Soochow on both the north and south fronts, and accelerate the process of destroying Soochow.

However, because Shu Han and Eastern Wu signed an alliance, Huang Xu has not made any major moves, but only strengthened the reorganization and training of troops. Before, Liu Hou also forgot about his storage, but now after Sima Yi's reminder, he finally remembered his previous arrangement, and listened to Sima Yi's meaning, now is the time to use him.

Sure enough, I only heard Sima Yi continue: "This is the best, please take a look." Sima Yi pointed to the military map hanging on the wall and talked eloquently.

Liu Hou, Guo Youzhi, Deng Zhi, and Bu Qi all paced to the map, watching Sima Yi's gestures. "His Majesty can order General Huang to leave the Luling Tomb and then attack Yuzhang. These places are all important grain-producing places in Eastern Wu, and if General Huang can occupy these places, it will be best for our army to have more food in the future. However, Weichen expected that the people of Dongwu would inevitably divide their troops to rescue, and such an important grain-producing area of Dongwu could not afford to lose.

Therefore, His Majesty can let General Huang do what he can, it is really difficult to gnaw and do not force it, as long as he can contain part of the troops of Eastern Wu, it will be considered a success.

In addition, General Xiaoguan (Guan Suo), who was stationed in Changsha, also had a division of troops, which could make him feint in the direction of Xiakou to contain part of the forces of Eastern Wu. ”

Liu Hou understood what Sima Yi meant, although Guansuo's troops had the strength of a division, but it was a unit dominated by cold weapons, and their combat power was limited, so they only needed to feint to attract a part of the Eastern Wu troops and reduce the pressure on Jingzhou, and they did not expect them to occupy much territory in the Eastern Wu.

Their troops, unlike Huang Xu, were expected to be high. Huang Xu now has a brigade of fire ~ spearmen, and a division of cold weapons troops, a total of more than 20,000 people, which can be regarded as a good combat force.

Luling originally belonged to the rear of Eastern Wu, and the defenders have not been much, although it has now become a border with Shu, but Eastern Wu is now empty of domestic troops, and it is estimated that there will not be many troops to guard here for a while, so there is no suspense for Huang Xu to take Luling.

As for Yuzhang, it was an important hinterland of Eastern Wu, and it was not easy to take it, so Sima Yi had a saying that he could do what he could.

"As for the troops stationed in Jingzhou, the local garrison of the Duke is sufficient, and when Wei and Wu besieged Jingzhou for a long time, General Guan Lao was still able to hold on, so the Eastern Wu troops are not to worry. It was a waste that the Fourth Brigade had been placed in Jingzhou City, and Wei Chenjian asked it to move, so that they could attack all the way east along the north bank of the Yangtze River and recover the counties along the way. Sima Yi continued.

Hearing this, Liu Hou and the three stinkers were taken aback, some places on the north bank of the Yangtze River belonged to the Wei State, and some places belonged to the Eastern Wu State, among which the canine teeth were intertwined, and the shape was complicated, to recover these places, it was equivalent to fighting with the garrisons of the two countries here at the same time, the Fourth Brigade led by Zhang Bai was only six or seven thousand people, and the time for the new brigade to be formed was not long, and the training process was insufficient, so the pressure for them to carry out this task was not ordinary.

Seeing the reaction of the four monarchs and ministers, Sima Yi was not surprised at all, he still looked like he was in his chest, and he continued: "The collapse of the Wei State is now imminent, for the counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River that belong to the Wei State, as long as Your Majesty sends an edict to solicit them, plus the coercion of a strong army, most of them must be able to be transmitted. If General Zhang can recover Xuchang as soon as possible, it will be even more important. ”

Oh, I understand, Liu Hou thought of the statue of a certain god in the later generations who held a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other, and understood Sima Yi's thoughts. The Wei Mansion will fall, on the one hand, there is a threat of death, and on the other hand, it is to continue to be prosperous and rich, under such coercion and temptation, it may not be as difficult as imagined to take these Wei counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

"As long as these counties of Wei in Jiangbei are taken, then the territory of Eastern Wu in Jiangbei will be surrounded by our army, and their shape will be in jeopardy. When the time comes, if the Fourth Brigade is ordered to attack Hanyang and Shiyang, what will the Soochow people do? The naval camp of Soochow is in Xiakou, which is across the river from them, and this is the so-called place where the enemy must be saved. At that time, the Dongwu Navy will inevitably return to the division to rescue, and the crisis in Jingzhou will be solved. Sima Yi said confidently.

"I don't think so, Xiakou is a large camp of the Eastern Wu naval army, its defense must be strict, the river here is full of Dongwu ships, our army can not cross the river from here at all, we know this, the people of Dongwu also know, they may not see that this is our army's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. As long as they make sure that there is no danger in the naval barracks, they may not return to the division. They wouldn't be so easy to give up this chance to throze to the death. Deng Zhi retorted.

"Then let them think that the water army camp is in danger!" Liu Hou and Sima Yi said this sentence in unison.

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, and then laughed together. It seems that they have thought of a piece. Liu Hou couldn't have thought of this kind of strategy, but when he got Sima Yi's prompt just now, he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and his thinking became clear. Sima Yi just mentioned that if you want to attack the enemy, you must save it.

Since it is determined that the Xiakou Water Army Camp is the place where the Dongwu Navy must be saved, then the goal is clear, as long as the Dongwu people feel that this base camp is threatened, as for how to do it, then think of a way, things are often difficult to determine the direction, as long as the direction is determined, the goal is clear, and the method to achieve the goal is not the most difficult.

Isn't there a saying that "there are always more ways than difficulties"? As long as you think about it, you can always think of a solution, and maybe there is more than one solution.
