Chapter 18 Opportunity is for those who are prepared
After Yue Feng waited for Zhang Feiyun to enter the city, he hugged him tightly! Yue Feng immediately asked Xun Yu to prepare wine and food to reward these expeditionary forces.
Yue Feng and Green Butterfly Qingzhi welcomed Zhang Feiyun into the county mansion. Before Yue Feng could speak, Zhang Feiyun took out a burden from behind him and said, "Fortunately, Cao Cao was killed by me, and there are now 1,000 soldiers." ”
The more windy he was, he opened the burden, saw that it was Cao Cao's head, and waved his hand to let Qingzhi dispose of it. Yue Feng patted Zhang Feiyun happily and said, "Feiyun, you have made a great contribution this time, how fortunate you are not to be dishonored, haha." ”
Green Butterfly was a little displeased, Zhang Feiyun led the soldiers to escape, it was not a difficult thing in the first place, because Zhuang Yan couldn't chase thousands of miles away! These soldiers actually lost three hundred. Even if Cao Cao is killed, it is nothing, can a single defeated general still turn out of the sky?
Yue Feng saw the green butterfly and pouted. Green Butterfly is like this, she is kind to others, and she really doesn't like it for herself, so she immediately pouts. But think about it myself, I used to tease her, and Green Butterfly is really capable, forget it, anyway, good men don't fight women.
Yue Feng thought so, but still said to Green Butterfly: "Zhang Feiyun was ordered to be in danger, and he never became a general, but he led the army to travel thousands of miles, although there were losses, it was not easy. Feiyun, tell me what happened. ”
Although Zhang Feiyun is just emerging, he is also a smart person, and said: "I made a detour to the south, but solemnly divided the troops to pursue him, so I set up a suspicious array into the dense forest, leaving three hundred soldiers scattered in the forest, and after the solemn army entered, he set fire to the forest and died with the enemy." After that, I entered Huaizhou, and then broke westward, entering from the south of Qinzhou, and went straight to Linjiang. Before I arrived at Linjiang, I saw a man riding a horse and galloping, and he told me that he was an idle person, and he was willing to worship our army and give advice. I saw that his words were sharp, his horses were fine, and he was coming from the direction of Linjiang, so I shouted Cao Cao, and he was really panicked and wanted to leave, and was killed by random arrows. ”
After listening to Yue Feng, he glanced at Zhang Feiyun again, and he could even be said to be impressed. As long as he is carefully cultivated, he will be a general who guards one side in the future, and he is calm and calm when he is in danger, he holds the power of the army but does not take the opportunity to escape, he is brave and resourceful when he is pursued by the army, and he is careful and decisive when he wants to kill Cao Cao.
Yue Feng said: "Feiyun, I won't tell you, I wasn't very optimistic about you at first, after all, people who have not led the army, suddenly leading the army, will inevitably panic." But from now on, you are not Zhang Feiyun, but General Feiyun under me. ”
While speaking, Yue Feng took out the jade plaque and said: "After reading the content of this jade plaque, you have officially become the core of the Yue family, you can participate in major discussions, and you have the right to dispatch troops and control money and food in danger." Zhang Feiyun did not hesitate, and said to Yue Feng after reading the jade plaque: "I am willing to share worries and solve problems for the Yue Commander, and serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
Yue Feng laughed and said, "Just call me by my name, it's not so particular." Go down and rest. Then he turned to Green Butterfly and said, "Inform them to come to the county in the evening to discuss matters." Green Butterfly obviously knew who they were referring to, and nodded yes.
That night, Yue Lei sent an urgent report again, and Yue Feng was really happy and sad when he saw it. It turned out that as he expected, Tuoba Gui began to integrate the county troops after returning to the state capital, not only removing all the deputy commanders, but also sending a large number of officials and generals to the counties to take over. Moreover, Zhou Cheng was also killed by him, and Tuoba Gui had completely controlled the Qinzhou Mansion.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue Lei had already sent people to disguise the robbers halfway to intercept and kill Lu Pu and Linjiang's people, but he had not returned yet. If someone comes again, he can still take advantage of his unpreparedness and control under house arrest, although it will not be exposed now, but once Tuoba Gui completes the integration of the county soldiers and then controls the state capital, he will increase his control over the counties, and he will definitely find out about Linjiang Lu Pu, after all, paper can't contain fire. Yue Lei estimates that the delay in controlling information must not exceed half a month.
Yue Feng gathered all the generals together, Green Butterfly, Qing Zhi, Zhang Zhiming, Xiang Yu, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Xun Yu, and Zhang Feiyun were all listed.
Yue Feng first explained the situation and asked Xiang Yu: "How is the situation of the soldiers?"
Xiang Yu said: "A total of about five thousand, which can be used." ”
Yue Feng asked Guo Jia: "How many siege equipment are there?" Guo Jia said: "There are ten in total, and 500 people need to carry and operate." If you conquer a city, you can't play a role for the time being. ”
Yue Feng said: "In today's situation, we only account for two of the eight counties south of the state capital. And if we snipe at the six counties to the north of us with lightning in half a month, even if we capture it within half a month and subdue all the troops in each county, it is estimated that we will be able to accumulate 20,000 troops at most; if there is a slight loss, it may be a problem to recover the six counties. It is difficult to resist Tuoba Gui's nearly 60,000 soldiers, what are your good strategies to solve the dilemma. ”
Everyone pondered and studied how to break the current situation.
After a while, Guo Jia said: "If we can delay Tuoba Gui so that he can't be distracted, or give us an extra month, we can march more safely." ”
Green Butterfly said: "Now the land of Qinzhou, although it is not as wide as Xizhou and Tongzhou is long, it is also quite large, with many mountains and forests. And today's information transmission, relying only on fast horse communication, is extremely difficult, and now it is full of flames, and there are almost no people in the counties who have trade flows, and they are even more independent. Tuoba Gui was originally the commander of the state army, and had no background as a business official, and his control of the state capital was far less than that of the state Cheng, and now the state was killed, and the original state was not a capable person, so Tuoba Gui must be anxious to grasp the state capital and control the politics of the counties, and then send troops to various places. I feel that we must make full use of this information gap and take the opportunity to occupy the six southern counties. I think there are six ways to try: one is to send spies to lure Tuoba Gui to attack Xizhou, the second is to let the spies tempt Murong Chui of Xizhou to send troops, the third is to recruit grassland herdsmen in northern Xinjiang, and the horse thieves pretend to invade the south to contain Tuoba Gui's troops, the fourth is to send lobbyists to persuade the four northern counties to raise troops for independence, the fifth is to send assassins to infiltrate the six northern counties and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the county commander, and the sixth is to intercept and kill the cronies sent by Tuoba Gui from the state capital, seize their seals, and try to control the six counties without blood. ”
Yue Feng listened to the green butterfly, his eyes lit up! The green butterfly's plan is not wonderful, but I don't know what the success rate is, as long as I can complete two or three things, I can give myself enough time. It would be better if the troops could take down one or two counties without bloodshed. So he asked Green Butterfly, "Do you have enough people to use in this way?"
Green Butterfly said: "There are two hundred spies, and one hundred elite assassins need to be dispatched. Even if it fails, it should save most people from retreating. As for the certainty, the assassination and volley should be ninety percent, and as for other things, one can only act at the opportunistic level, and the success may be less than fifty percent. ”
Yue Feng asked, "How many days will you see?" Green Butterfly said, "Ten days." ”
Yue Feng asked, "How will you make a plan within ten days?"
Dian Wei said: "Why don't you conscript soldiers and store grain and hold the two counties steadily?"
Guo Jia said: "It really should be like this, otherwise a large-scale attack will inevitably be exposed, and then the strategy may be difficult to carry out." ”
Yue Feng said: "Okay." With this in mind, let's get busy. ”
Green Butterfly Guo Jia stayed. Yue Feng said: "Green Butterfly, you quickly return to Lu Pu, and after discussing with Yue Lei, act quickly." Attention, even if you go to the state capital, don't do it yourself!"
Green Butterfly said, "I understand. And he departed.
Yue Feng and Guo Jia said: "How about conscription?" Guo Jia said: "In Linjiang County, there are about 100,000 people, about 100,000 in the surrounding villages, and there are enough soldiers, and there are enough soldiers in Linjiang County. In addition, there are about 10,000 people in Lupu County. It's just that although the ore, coal, and iron are sufficient, the finished armor and weapons are insufficient. Now Yueyu is refining at full power, and in my opinion, if only the long knife shield is refined, it can reach tens of thousands in ten days. If you make a full set of armor, you can only get to 2,000. ”
Yue Feng thought about it: "If you only have swords and shields, you can guard the city walls, and only a full set of armor can conquer the city." Moreover, if there is a difference in marching and fighting, it may cause a mutiny, and it will not have much combat effectiveness. So let's make it half and a half, five thousand swords and shields for guards, and one thousand full sets of armor for attack. Guo Jia was ordered to leave.;
