Chapter 145: Countermeasures
Although Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai didn't know how Dong Zhuo operated, the key to it was already guessed.
Now that you know who you're dealing with, you can plan your layout according to the situation.
Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "If the rebellion of Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others is Dong Zhuo's obstruction, then it will be easy to deal with." β
"Oh?!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Zhicai has a clever plan?" β
Xi Zhicai shook his head, "I can't talk about a clever plan, judging from the current situation, it can only be delayed." β
"Drag?!"
Cao Cao frowned, and after a while, he figured out the pass, and sighed lightly, "It's true that it can only be delayed." "After I wait for reinforcements, as long as Lu Bu can't attack the city, he will naturally retreat when the food and grass are scarce."
Xi Zhicai nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, Wen Ruo will send someone to send me and others to send news, presumably he has taken precautions." β
"We can divide our troops into two ways and go all the way to the rescue; The other way can sweep away the traitors in Yanzhou. β
"As long as we sweep away the traitors in Yanzhou, Lu Bu has no internal response in Yanzhou, and it should be easy to gather the strength of the whole state to deal with Lu Bu at that time."
Cao Cao nodded, Xi Zhicai's thoughts coincided with his.
The current situation in Yanzhou, the frontal battlefield is good, it is a great advantage to defend the city and occupy the geographical advantage, and the more troublesome is the "leading party" in Yanzhou.
The "Belt and Road Party" in Yanzhou is obviously the local scholars in Yanzhou who were moved by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes showed murderous intent, and it seemed that I Cao was too merciful.
Just as Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were discussing how to deal with the current situation in Yanzhou, a young man in official uniform in Juancheng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
This young man is only in his thirties, and no one would have thought that he is the famous "Wang Zuozhicai" Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who was also dressed in an official uniform hurriedly came and interrupted Xun Yu's train of thought.
"Wen Ruo." A soft exhaler interrupted Xun Yu's divergent thoughts, Xun Yu smiled and responded, "Brother Zhongde, you are here." β
It turned out that the middle-aged man in official uniform was Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde.
Cheng Yu is much older than Xun Yu, and he doesn't look like a civilian official, but has the posture of a military attachΓ©.
A pair of thick eyebrows on his resolute face were slightly frowned, and a Sichuan character was erected in his eyebrows, but his eyes were bright and intimidating, on the other hand, Xun Yu looked like he was gentle.
Cheng Yu was not polite when he found Xun Yu, and said directly: "This time it's bad!" β
Hearing this, Xun Yu put away the smile on his face and waited for the following.
"Just now the scout detective reported that a large army is coming in the direction of Juancheng, but the word 'Lu' was not seen on the general's banner, but 'Huangfu' was written on it!"
"Huangfu?!" Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, "Could it be Huangfu Shoujian?" Or is it the Emperor? β
Xun Yu said that Huangfu Shoujian is the son of Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Li is the son of Huangfu Song.
"Oops."
"Alas!" Cheng Yu sighed and said helplessly: "When, Wen Ruo is still pretending to be confused." β
Obviously, Cheng Yu knew that Xun Yu had guessed who the general with the surname "Huangfu" was, but he was also a little helpless in his heart and deliberately teased him.
Xun Yu couldn't have thought of Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Shoujian and nephew Huangfu Li, but he couldn't think of Huangfu Song himself.
"Hehe, hehe." Xun Yu smiled again, "It's not Huangfu Shoujian, it's not Huangfu Li, it's Huangfu Song." β
"General Huangfu is really old and strong."
Cheng Yu heard Xun Yu's sigh, and didn't know what to say for a while, and after half a ring, he slowly spoke: "Huangfu Song led the army to come, but Lu Bu is nowhere to be found, if it is as expected, Lu Bu should go to Taishan County." β
Xun Yu nodded, "What Zhongde said is reasonable, it should be so." β
"It's not going to be easy." "I thought it would be okay if only Lu Bu came, but I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to send Huangfu Song to come."
"What shall I do now?" Cheng Yu moved his eyes to Xun Yu, and Cao Cao entrusted all the affairs of Yanzhou to Xun Yu before leaving.
Xun Yu is now the supreme governor of the city, and now all decisions must be ordered by him.
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Whether it is Huangfu Song coming or Lu Bu coming. β
"Juancheng must be defended." Xun Yu's tone was extremely firm at this time, and then he continued: "Juancheng is a strategic place in Puyang County, which can enter Dongjun to the west and Dongping County to the north. β
"If Juancheng is lost, then the two counties of Puyang and Dongping will not be owned by us."
"And it's not enough to just hold Juancheng."
"The lonely city is difficult to defend, so we should arrange the rest of the city as a corner, so that no matter which city is besieged, there will be external support."
When the enemy and us are at war, the defending side does not always stay in the city, but the correct way to defend the city is to form a situation of defending and attacking.
If you defend for a long time, you will lose, and it is the best way to attack and defend and wait for the opportunity to move.
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cheng Yu frowned and said directly: "Dong'a?!" Fan?! β
"Brother Zhongde, who knows me!" Xun Yu let out a sigh of admiration with a smile on his face.
When Cheng Yu said the names of the two cities of "Dong'e" and "Fan County", Xun Yu knew that the two had the same idea.
If you want to say why Cheng Yu mentioned the two cities of "Dong'e" and "Fan County", there is naturally a reason for it.
Now Juancheng, where the two are located, is located in the west of Puyang County, and its east is Puyang City, which is surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Dong Zhuo's side must take Juancheng if he wants to occupy Puyang County.
If you don't take Juancheng, then it will be even more difficult to take Puyang City in the east of Juancheng.
Cheng Yu said that "Dong'e" is a small city in the east of Puyang City, although this city is small, it is an important strategic transit place.
"Dong'e" can go to Liqiu County in the east, and Chenliu in the south.
And Cheng Yu said that another small town of "Fan County" is in Liqiu County, and it is even more east of "Dong'e".
"Fan County" can reach Taishan County in the north, and Dingtao in the south, which is also a very important strategic transit point.
Juancheng-Puyang-Dong'e-Fanxian, these four cities are almost in a line, and this line is like a knife on the "cake" of Yanzhou.
This knife split Yanzhou in two.
Dong Zhuo's side was below Yanzhou, while Cao Cao's side was above Yanzhou.
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's strategic planning is already very obvious here, as long as the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian are held, there will be a chance.
If Lu Bu and Huangfu Song can be defeated, then the land of Yanzhou will be worry-free.
At this time, Xun Yu looked at Cheng Yu, with a solemn look on his face, and said slowly: "Brother Zhongde, the two cities of Juancheng and Puyang are arranged by Yu, and the two cities of Dong'e and Fanxian will rely on Brother Zhongde!" β
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and nodded, "Without further ado, then I'll go and prepare." β
After speaking, Cheng Yu hesitated and said: "Huangfu Song has been famous for a long time, and it is not so easy to get along with, Wen Ruo should be careful to deal with it." β
Xun Yu smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Brother Zhongde, Yu understands." β
"Farewell."
Cheng Yu also returned the salute and hurried away.
After Cheng Yu left, Xun Yu's face showed a complicated expression, and then he flicked his sleeves and went to the inner courtyard.
