Chapter 347 Thirteen Strategies to Strike the Grass and Surprise the Snake

Under Keiguan, a lively drama finally came to an end temporarily. After Li Yan and Yuan Shu fell out, Yuan Shu had nowhere to do anything except hold his anger, and he had no way to take Li Yan.

In fact, if Yuan Shu wants to be angry, there is still a place to go, that is, to continue to lead the army to attack Jiguan, the key is that he does not dare to go! The scene of Chen Lan's tragic death still remains in Yuan Shu's mind, and after careful calculation, there are as many as ten generals in his Yuan family who are directly or indirectly under Zhao Xing!

In addition to Zhang Xu and Zhang Nan, the two brothers who were captured by Zhou Cang and put in Huguan, Yuan Yi, Liang Gang, Han Fu, Yu She, Le Qi, and Chen Lan were slaughtered alive; And in the process of Zhao Xing's current competition with the Yuan family, except for suffering some losses when he suffered a secret calculation in Luoyang, he has always had the upper hand since then. Yuan Shu sometimes wonders, could it be that Zhao Xing was born against the Yuan family?

Yuan Shu is not the only one who has similar questions.

Zhao Xing, who is in the Zhongyang base camp, has recently asked himself in his heart: "Could it be that Lu Zhi is against himself when he is alive?"

Since Lu Zhi led his army across the Yellow River, the route and direction of the march have been a little erratic, which has made even the clever Shadow Crew members unable to understand, and the information transmitted back is incredible.

What is certain is that Lu Zhi must have connected with Huangfu Song, which means that the two coalition forces have actually converged, but Zhao Xing can't find where the main force of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's coalition army is now!

In the past, when there were no reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance aircraft, it was not a difficult thing to hide hundreds of thousands of people in mountainous and hilly areas of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Zhao Xing remembered that before Taizu left Yan'an to cross the Yellow River, he also transferred the regiments of Hu's 400,000 troops to encircle and suppress the border district government, but there were already reconnaissance planes at that time. Now that Lu Zhi and Zhao Xing are playing "hide and seek", what kind of idea is the idea, which really makes Zhao Xing and the military advisers in the base camp at a loss.

According to common sense, after Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song converged, they could have laid out their carriages and horses, continued to adopt a steady and steady approach, gradually compressed the territory of the Zhenbei Army in Shangjun, and finally forced the Zhenbei Army out of Shangjun, or chose to have a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of troops. Zhao Xing was even ready to sacrifice 60,000 people, but he also had to stick to the painful determination along the Yellow River. Now he couldn't see the direction of Lu Zhi's main force, which made Zhao Xing very annoyed.

Zhao Xing's worries naturally have his reasons. Now that midwinter is approaching, the Yellow River will freeze for 500 miles in Xihe County, and Lu Zhi can choose the location to cross the Yellow River at will. As long as they entered the eastern region of Xihe, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song could adopt the method of fighting to feed the war, and get grain and grass supplies from the counties they occupied all the way. At that time, Zhao Xing had to take the team to hide in the upper district of Taihang and play the trick of surrounding the city from the countryside with Lu Zhi.

Zhao Xing believed that before Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song did not conquer Hexi, Liu Yan and his staff would stay honestly, but once the two old foxes led the army to the edge of Taiyuan County, Liu Yan would definitely bring people to welcome Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song to Bingzhou for sightseeing.

Zhao Xing repeatedly discussed with the military advisors, since Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, the two old foxes, played the trick of secretly Chen Cang with Bingzhou, the Zhenbei Army had no choice but to see the trick and play a good show with the old fox.

In the "Thirty-six Policies of the Zhao Family", which has been revised and perfected by many people, the explanation of the thirteenth policy "Fighting the Grass and Startling the Snake" is as follows: When the local forces are not exposed or the intention is unclear, the enemy must not advance lightly, and the deployment and movement of the local main force should be ascertained. In addition to scaring the snake, you can also avoid being bitten by the snake, which is the meaning of this plan.

Once the tactical direction has been decided, the next step is naturally to carry out troop transfers and the allocation of generals. According to Zhao Xing's requirements, the main general who is responsible for fighting the grass and the snake must be cautious and alert, have a very sharp battlefield insight and the ability to capture fighters, and must not be easily led astray by the feints of the coalition forces, and at the same time, he must not be dumpled by his own troops.

Zhao Xing counted on his fingers, and the most suitable person for this work was not on the Western Front. This person is naturally Zhao Yun who has "insight" skills in the game "Three Kingdoms X". Zhao Xing is not superstitious about the setting of his brother Zhao Yun's talent skills in the game, he came to this conclusion after comprehensive measurement and analysis of Zhao Yun's character, force, and experience.

Since he couldn't count on Zhao Yun, he had to select one more person from the remaining generals, it was really not good, Zhao Xing planned to personally lead the team to do this.

Lu Bu is not good, the courage is enough, but the strategy is not enough; Guan Yu can try, but Zhao Xing does not want Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to face each other on the battlefield for the time being; Xu Huang is about to undertake an important task that has a bearing on the overall situation and cannot be sent out; Zhang Liao is definitely the second candidate after Zhao Yun, but even Zhao Xing does not know where this brother has run away with Guo Jia now; Li Jinwu and Wang Lu are not enough in strategy and experience to undertake this heavy task......

After careful consideration, Zhao Xing was a little depressed, and now he was the most suitable person to do this. So Zhao Xing told everyone that he planned to personally lead 10,000 elite soldiers to investigate Lu Zhi's reality, and the result naturally attracted unanimous opposition. Just when everyone was blushing and thick-necked for this matter, a military advisor dressed as a chivalrous man walked out of the crowd, and this person was Xu Shu.

At the beginning, Xu Shu was Zhao Hu's remarks that "like Brother Yuan's direct brother abandoning martial arts and literature, it is inevitable that he is too paranoid, why not double cultivation of civil and military affairs, and it will be more superb?" After six years, Xu Shu thought that he was successful in civil and military affairs, and for the first time he went out to fight with Zhao Xing, a few days ago he helped Zhao Xing think of the strategy of playing the prince card, and today he actually recommended himself in public, and was willing to lead the troops to fight with Lu Zhi.

Seeing Xu Shu suddenly come out of the crowd, Zhao Xing's heart moved, just now he fell into the fixed state of inertial thinking, and he actually forgot that Xu Shu was originally a swordsman, and his kung fu was not bad. After six years of polishing and accumulation, Zhao Xing believes that with Xu Shu's current talent and martial arts, he is definitely a simplified version of Zhao Zilong, or it should be a resourceful Zhao Yun, and this time Xu Shu is more suitable than Zhao Yun.

Dealing with old foxes like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun may not necessarily suffer, but it is also very difficult to pick up a bargain by the way. And Xu Shu is different, Zhao Xing already has a hunch that this time let Xu Shu lead an army to "fight the grass and scare the snake", and Xu Shu will definitely have a surprise to bring back.

Since Xu Shu took the initiative to ask for help, Zhao Xing immediately decided that the commander of the force that would go out to investigate the main movement of Lu Zhi's army would be Xu Shu, and then transferred Hou Cheng, Xue Lan and Bian Xi, the three most capable shadow team members, as well as the warrior Dian Wei, to Xu Shu.

Zhao Xing thought maliciously, even if Xu Shu was besieged, with this luxurious team, there should be no difficulty in breaking through?
