"Hmph, hum......" Jia Xu was stunned, and immediately laughed out loud, and couldn't hold back for a while.

Originally, I didn't think about it in this regard, but I just looked at this military intelligence report on a case-by-case basis, and understood that Guo Tu's strategy was really good, but it was treacherous and treacherous, which caught people off guard.

I didn't expect Xu Zhen to lead him here with a word, and it was true that Guo Tu had never won any battles on the battlefield before, and he didn't dare to think that he would be able to come up with such a strategy now, and the Jedi would fight back.

It's really powerful to beat your own people.

"What shall we do now?"

Zhao Yun asked sincerely, he was already a little eager to try, in his opinion, now is a good time, he can definitely use troops, once he intervenes in the battle of Youzhou, taking Dai County is definitely just around the corner.

"There's no hurry."

Xu Zhen, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang all answered at the same time, and the three of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly laughter came out.

Zhuge Liang immediately fanned his feather fan and said: "General Zilong doesn't have to worry, at this time, we have to wait to see how Yuan Xi counterattacks, how can the son of the Yuan family be a thing in the pool?" I will definitely find a way to retake the city. ”

"Yes, let's hold the line of defense tightly, it's best to keep the door closed, the more peaceful Jizhou is, the more they can show their strength."

"Prince, it seems that it is best to issue another military order now to prepare for the autumn harvest, and the soldiers and horses in the territory will be mixed," Jia Xu immediately said.

Xu Zhen smiled, pointed at him and said, "According to you, let the words go." ”

Several generals secretly glanced at each other, their faces were relaxed, they were not like the civil and military forces in the Yuan camp, and they would not influence the thoughts of the scribes and military advisors.

The main thing is that these military advisors, everyone's brains are extremely useful, and even a talented person like Yang Xiu has to tremble above this hall, for fear that he will be played with one day.

In the afternoon of the same day.

The news was released, just put into the ears of the Yuan family in Jizhou, and it was a very obscure way, not allowing them not to believe it, and the words soon arrived in the Daijun city, at this time Yuan Shang was still planning to attack Shanggu, as long as the soldiers and horses in Shanggu were relaxed, the army would immediately attack the city.

At this moment, I got the news from Jizhou.

"Okay, Xu Zhen has already taken the opportunity to prepare for the implementation of internal affairs and hoard grain and grass, and we are fighting and giving him a chance to breathe."

"Xu Zhen is a smart person, of course he won't come to wade into this troubled water, it's a good time!"

Guo Tu sat beside him, and in this battle, he won a lot of grain and grass, so that his soldiers and horses were also full, so he was indispensable.

At this time, Yuan Shang was deeply relied on, and after listening to the intelligence of this spy at this moment, he sneered and said, "This news was released by Xu Zhen." ”

"The implication is that although the two sons are fighting, Jizhou will watch and there will be no obstruction."

"I see," Yuan Shang nodded thoughtfully, this information doesn't need him to understand, because the effect is the same.

Yuan Shang doesn't understand the deep meaning, that is to do his best to fight with Yuan Xi to understand, after all, now he has to send an arrow on the string, he captured Daijun and brought the people into the country is already the biggest disrespect to Yuan Xi.

It's strange that Yuan Xi can bear this breath, so the current situation is very tense, but they have to deal with whatever Xu Zhen does, but at this time, Xu Zhen let out the words, Jizhou will carry out the internal affairs of the autumn harvest, and he will never come to commit it, then the problem will come, and it must be solved as soon as possible.

"We must, before the autumn harvest this year, stabilize the situation, these 200,000 troops must be placed in Bingzhou and Youzhou respectively, and half a foot will be stepped into Youzhou, so that the second son cannot forcibly march into the army, let's bet that the second son understands the general situation and understands the situation, and will not be carried away by anger."

Guo Tu played with the teacup, his face was still very gloomy, he could understand the current situation, but there were not many ways to break the situation.

Because before, if they didn't cheat and descend to Daijun, their soldiers and horses would starve to death, but now, knowing that Xu Zhen was watching the fire from the other side, ready to reap the benefits at any time, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, it is impossible to make peace with Yuan Xi, but fortunately, now that the number is superior and the soldiers and horses are strong, they still occupy the initiative.

"Does he really know the general idea?"

Yuan Shang showed an irritated look in his eyes, blaming this brother for not respecting his father's will, so that the two of them fell into the battle at this moment, but gave outsiders a chance to take advantage.

There is no way, now I can only continue to fight, and this battle must be a big victory.

……

In Yuyang County, Yuan Xi transferred a large number of soldiers and horses from the north to prevent foreign invasion back, and gathered in Yuyang County to prepare for the army, and the situation at this time completely exceeded his expectations.

It can be said that Guo Tu's battle caught him off guard, and after they quickly captured Daijun, they immediately began to defend it, and invested a large number of troops into the mountain and forest passes, mountain passes, and key roads everywhere, surrounding the entire Daijun and making it difficult to enter at all.

It is difficult for even the outpost to get any news, which means that if Yuan Xi wants to attack again, he will only be able to attack and regain the lost territory, which is a big problem for him.

If you want to recapture it, you must pay a lot of casualties, and you may not even be able to fight, and the Sutie armament he captured from Xu Zhen is very ineffective when it is used to attack the city.

Since Yuan Shang captured the city, he must have been prepared and waited for Yuan Xi to attack, so he fell into hesitation.

In the past few days alone, Yuan Xi has more than half of the white hair on his head, and his face feels bad and has a lot of wrinkles.

I didn't know how much I had on the map, and the simple map of the eleven cities of Daijun was densely filled with markings, among which there were two cities, and the city walls were not easy to heighten, so if you want to recapture Daijun, you have to start from here, and it is best to wait for Yuan Shang to come out.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Yuan Xi muttered to himself, "Yuan Shang has solved the problem of grain and grass in the past few days, and has wantonly looted in Daijun, but it is not a long-term solution, and all the grain in Daijun has been snatched from the people's homes, which is enough for them to eat for fifteen days." ”

"After fifteen days, the princes outside the gate will definitely send grain to finance, he just wants to spend this time."

"He also had to cut off his grain and cut off his grain route! Than Yuan Shang out! ”

Yuan Xi pointed out his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed at a key main road outside Dai County, which was closer to Youzhou and deeper than the place where Xu Zhen intercepted grain at that time.

Yuan Shang has the experience of the last time, and he must be worried that Xu Zhen will come to a sneak attack again, after all, he is unpredictable, Jizhou seems to be calm, maybe he will come out and give you a knife.

Therefore, he must have chosen to go deeper into the grain road of Jizhou, and now that he has sent troops from Yuyang and walked to Gujun, there are two roads to bypass Daijun.

It is necessary to walk on mountain roads, and you cannot use war horses all the way.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi immediately said in a deep voice: "Go to Yangling Slope, enter the valley, go out of Shanggu County and pass through Dai County, and then enter Yuyi Mountain to camp, I will slowly transport the grain over, there is a river here, if the grain and grass are insufficient, you can fish and eat first, bring rice millet and pot helmet to fill your stomach, and wait for the grain to be delivered day and night, as long as you see the grain cart, burn it directly, and don't have to rob it!" ”

"I'm going to force Yuan Shang to go out from Daijun to fight!"

He glanced at the map route, and probably knew that the march through the mountains and forests might take seven days, and immediately said: "Young master, we can reach it in a few days, if we arrive by the time, the grain has already been delivered to Daijun, we will be in vain." ”

"It's okay, take a gamble!" Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and calmly analyzed: "Within a few days, the grain they exchanged from the princes outside the Guanwai will definitely not arrive, otherwise Guo Tu will not take the risk to enter our Dai County, in my estimation, it will definitely take more than ten days for the grain to be transported to the large military camp." ”

"Yuan Shang has too many soldiers and horses, a small amount of food is not enough to eat and drink, once a grain truck comes, it must be a steady stream of hundreds of cars, it is very easy to investigate, you take 7,000 people through the mountains and forests, you will definitely be able to make contributions."

Yuan Xi has been crawling in Youzhou all these years, just like Yuan Tan who was in Qingzhou at the beginning, although he is not a famous general, but he has also experienced large and small wars, and he is already a veteran.

Naturally know how to march and fight, this is experience, not to mention how many strategies can be thought of, but knowing the use of the terrain, the terrain of Youzhou is familiar to him, and how many small roads can immediately emerge in his heart.

At this time, he gave another order categorically, so that Zhao Zhao also calmed down, and immediately hugged his fists and took the order.

……

Seven days later, Yuan Shang received a military intelligence report and discussed with Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Ping and others in the main hall of the Daijun government office.

"The grain exchanged for Ma Teng's army has now departed from Bingzhou, and the delivery schedule will arrive within six days, and the current military food is just enough to support, and now Yuan Xi has gathered his soldiers and horses in Yuyang, ready to enter Shanggu at any time, and at the same time he still has 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jixian County, gentlemen, what should the current situation be?"

Guo Tu stroked his beard, and immediately bowed down and said: "Send 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet the thirty miles, receive the grain and grass, and don't make the slightest mistake, lest you be robbed by Xu Zhen again." ”

These people were also scared of Xu Zhen, he was not a decent man, he was unpredictable with soldiers, and he couldn't figure out what he could do next.

"Seconded below, rightly so."

"Grain-oriented, this time the transportation of grain is the foundation of our foothold in Youzhou, there can be no mistakes, we must go out dozens of miles to meet the grain truck."

Several military advisors said this, Yuan Shang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then according to what the gentlemen said, send soldiers and horses to meet you and ensure that the grain is delivered to Daijun." ”

This can be regarded as learning from the lesson of Xu Zhen grabbing grain, he Xu Zhen can dispatch sixty or seventy thousand troops to grab fifty thousand stone grain, like a mountain bandit, why can't he greet it like this now, the more important and fundamental the matter, the more meticulous and meticulous it is to ensure that it is correct.

So as not to be deceived by Xu Zhen, he is a restless person, and he will not stay in Jizhou honestly.

Yuan Shang always felt that Xu Zhen was going to come out and do something, as if a shadow was in his heart.

Among the rumors of the people, Xu Zhen is even about to be metaphysical, he is born to be a good hand at fighting the Yuan family, and his exploits, especially his military exploits, are basically in the war against Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and the two Yuan brothers.

I haven't seen him so powerful in fighting other princes, where is Xu Zhen in the battle of Xuzhou?

On the same day, it was discussed to send troops and arrange the details properly, but in the afternoon, news came that made Yuan Shang worry.

Yuan Xi's army suddenly attacked, directly attacked the two cities, and broke through them all in less than half a day, and all the passes along the way were broken, which frightened Yuan Shang and hurriedly increased his troops.

When he arrived at the main camp, all the generals under his command were in a panic, and the state soldiers did not have the slightest popular support after arriving in Daijun, and now that Yuan Xi has come back, the people are eager to finish the fight immediately, so that they have the opportunity to scatter and flee, and leave Youzhou with their families.

"Let's postpone the matter of receiving grain and grass, immediately increase troops to the front line and hold Ziye City! If the city is gone, it will be useless to wait for food! ”

Guo Tu persuaded a stick of incense for a while, but it was useless, Yuan Shangxin was already in chaos, and he just wanted to defeat Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, so he sent troops to garrison and delay Yuan Xi's march route.

The two sides fought for three days in the territory of Daijun, with countless casualties and the people fleeing.

Tens of thousands of people did not dare to continue to stay in their hometowns, so they could only flee south, begging to enter Jizhou, but although Xu Zhen was benevolent and loved the people, he was not a kind and weak person, and ordered the border guards to settle these displaced people out first, prevent them from entering the country, distribute some food to let them survive, and live in Jizhou on the border first.

At the same time, a large number of spies were sent to inquire about the news of the war on the front line, and thousands of cavalry were dispatched, and the daily military situation was like snowflakes to Zhongshan County.

Xu Zhen is in charge of the government office in Zhongshan County, and every day he has to watch the military situation for an hour one after another, and the more he looks at it now, the more energetic he becomes.

Zhuge Liang was still on the side of the main hall, and after Xu Zhen finished reading it, he discussed it with him, "Why did Yuan Xi attack Daijun?" ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "It's definitely not angry, Yuan Xi can stabilize the situation in Youzhou, which means that his people can only not be under the Taishou of those who have been fine for many years, although he has no famous generals, but there are also many veterans who have followed for many years, stationed in Youzhou for many years, familiar with the terrain, and must be to storm Daijun, so that Yuan Shang can not divide his troops, and his troops will cut off his food route." ”

"Ryoko can see through."

"Master taught well!" Zhuge Liang smiled calmly, he was good at thinking for many years, coupled with his unparalleled talent, Xu Zhen often asked, although it was on paper, but to develop intelligence, thinking too much Zhuge Liang can naturally cover the overall situation, and at this time, he immediately thought of the most important foundation in the fight between the two brothers.

Grain.

"I estimate that there will be results within five days, and Yuan Xi may really be able to win back a city," Xu Zhen touched his chin and nodded, and said: "Yuan Shang does not have the ability of Yuan Shao, but he suffers from the disease of the noble clan of the Yuan family, and he is only afraid that he will be forced by Yuan Xi to hate and fight a decisive battle." ”

"Five days," Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, "the opportunity has come." ”

Xu Zhen suddenly smiled, put down all the military newspapers, and laughed loudly: "The opportunity has come!" ”

"We have been stationed in Zhongshan for many days, and we have waited for so long, just waiting for this opportunity, I expect that Yuan Xi will definitely win and drive Yuan Shang out of Daijun!"

"Ordered the dragon to lead 10,000 white robes, Zhongkang to lead the school swordsmen 8,000, Dian Wei Qinghu battalion, A cavalry battalion, crossbow cavalry battalion, plus 30,000 Black Mountain soldiers, chase and kill along the way!"

"Kong Ming, come and lay the ambush route."

"Wow!!" Zhuge Liang's eyes mentioned, and he was immediately full of interest in his heart, this was the first time he personally arranged an ambush and pursuit, and he could definitely predict all the ways to escape, so that Yuan Shang's army could be ambushed as much as possible.

……

Four days later.

The fierce battle was endless, and the bad news of the state army suddenly came from the Dai County, where the victory and defeat were inseparable.

The grain and grass transported in the rear were suddenly attacked when passing through Yuyi Mountain, and the grain and grass carts and horses were set on fire, more than 1,000 grain soldiers and horses were killed, and dozens of carts of grain and grass were looted, and the rest were all burned in the mountain and forest fires.

When Yuan Shang heard the news, he was in chaos, the morale of the army was lost, and the army had no food and was broken by Yuan Xi one after another, and surrendered 20,000 or 30,000 people to Youzhou.

When he retreated to the main city of Daijun, Yuan Shang was already delirious, and he just wanted to immediately send troops to fight Yuan Xi to the death, but as soon as he left the city, he was ambushed and was beaten by Yuan Xi's Su Tie elite, and the Chinese army was defeated.

Guo Tu could only take the army, take Yuan Shang, and flee with the civil and military, and at the same time send the sentinel back to Bingzhou first, and ask Gao Ran to bring troops to the rescue.
