Chapter 259: Offense is the best defense
"According to intelligence analysis, Yuan Shao's main force will be divided into two parts."
"He sent 60,000 troops on the surface, but in fact there are more than that, attacking the plains is one of the main forces, and he will arrange a second batch of main forces to enter Jinan from Jibei."
"The second batch of main forces will join forces with Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi and others, and the offensive will be stronger."
Xun You looked at the information in his hand and said analytically.
Yang Zhao said: "Is there a way for Gongda? ”
Xun You pondered for a moment and reminded, "Has the lord forgotten the Zheng family and King Kang?" ”
"It's impossible to forget, they must be in harmony with Yuan Shaoli."
Yang Zhao understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Actually, Gongda wants to take advantage of the civil strife between the Zheng family and King Kang to eliminate part of the main force?" This part is probably an attack on the plains. ”
"Yes!"
Xun You said unhurriedly: "According to my judgment, Yuan Shao wants to put the main battlefield in the south of Qingzhou and contain our army as far as possible to the south, so the strength of the north to deal with the plain is relatively small." ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he also understood his thoughts, and added: "We can arrange a group of people to guard Qingzhou, if the Zheng family and King Kang are really in civil strife, kill them first, and then plan the plan?" ”
"That's right!"
Yang Zhao's thoughts, similar to theirs, continued: "Create an illusion that the Zheng family's civil strife has succeeded, and induce the main force attacking the plain to enter the plain and wipe it out!" ”
"This plan works!"
Jia Xu clapped his hands and said.
Li Ru also felt that it was feasible, nodded slightly, and then said: "As for the main battlefield in the south planned by Yuan Shao, it is also easy to solve, after taking Shanyang and other places, arrange a large army to resist Yuan Shu, and deter Tao Qian, we can fight Jibei." ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Take Jibei, follow the Yellow River, swim upstream, attack Baima, Yanjin, and finally go straight to Hanoi, we are taking the initiative to attack, the enemy is defenseless, maybe when it hits Hanoi, Yuan Shao has not completed the alliance, and in the end he can't even cross the Yellow River, and the alliance will be lonely." ”
When these words fell, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.
They all thought of going together.
The plan to break the enemy, probably that's it.
Yang Zhao once again realized how comfortable it would be to have the assistance of a strategist.
"Actually, I have another special idea."
Yang Zhao said.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, please speak!" ”
Yang Zhao's finger, on the map, pointed to the location of Montenegro, and said: "Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army, maybe he can use it, let him escape at that time, he must have fled back to Montenegro." ”
Zhang Yan in history has always been against Yuan Shao.
Yang Zhao and Zhang Yan used to be enemies, yes, but they can turn enemies into friends, and said: "The Black Mountain Army is like a thorn piercing into the rear of Jizhou, if they surprise the party, Zhang Yang will abandon the alliance and retreat, and at the same time can go deep into Jizhou and create trouble for Yuan Shao." ”
If used properly, Zhang Yan could be the key to influencing the outcome of the battle.
"Zhang Yan is our enemy, there is no reason to help us fight Yuan Shao."
Li Ru thinks it's not feasible.
Yang Zhao said: "I think there is a possibility of wooing, and it is necessary to arrange a person to lobby Zhang Yan, who do you think is feasible?" Even if persuasion fails, Zhang Yan doesn't dare to kill our people, because he is afraid of me! ”
Li Ru said: "Under my command, there is a small official, surnamed Feng, Mingming, the same word, articulate, clever, and courageous, who can take on this important responsibility. ”
The thorn of the Montenegrin army, they all want to take advantage of it.
Li Ru thought it was not good just now, but now he also took the initiative to recommend capable people, and he still had hope.
"Pass him in." Yang Zhaodao.
After a while, Feng Ming walked into the government office.
Yang Zhao briefly said his thoughts, and said: "I will let Zhong Kang lead the tiger guard to escort you to Montenegro, do you dare to go?" ”
Let Xu Chu and Huwei follow, firstly, they can ensure safety, and secondly, they are not afraid that Feng Ming will have different intentions.
"My subordinates will definitely be able to complete the task!"
Feng Ming agreed loudly.
That's how all the strategies and plans are arranged.
Yang Zhao said again: "On paper, we can talk more and more, but whether it is useful or not, we have to fight to know, tomorrow directly send troops, Peping, Guorang and Fang Rui, you lead 30,000 troops, go to the plains to find a son's house, hold the plains, and follow Wenhe." ”
"Good!"
They answered.
Yang Zhao looked at the others and said, "Wen Yuan and Gongming, after we took Shanyang and Dongping, for our defense of Yuan Shu, they also led 30,000 troops, and Wen You followed." ”
They didn't have a problem either, nodding slightly.
Yang Zhao continued: "Ziyi and Yuanfu, leading five thousand troops, guarding Qingzhou, Gongda's fourth uncle is on Yuan Shao's side, in order to avoid your embarrassment, I want you to stay in Linzi." ”
The troops of the counties in Qingzhou were almost siphoned off.
5,000 people, enough to guard Qingzhou.
"Good!"
Xun You's situation is really embarrassing, and he doesn't want to meet Xun Chen on the battlefield.
Tai Shi Ci and Zhou Cang then received the order.
Yang Zhao finally said: "The others are following me, and other weapons and other things, be well prepared, and set off tomorrow!" ”
——
Yang Zhao led the army, sent troops out of Linzi, first entered Jinan, and soon came to the junction of Jinan, Jibei and Taishan.
Mount Tai belonged to Yanzhou, but Mount Tai's Taishou did not send troops to meet the alliance.
Cao Cao secretly instructed those counties that did not go to war, as long as they did not move troops in their own counties, let the people on both sides cross the border, and do not block them, otherwise they will bear the consequences.
Yang Zhao took the initiative to attack and defend with offense, which was unthinkable to everyone.
When the army came to the north of Ji, no one found out.
Jibeiguo had already united with Zhang Miao and sent troops together with Dongping, which was also within the scope of the battle.
"I have an idea."
Yang Zhao waved his hand at this time, asked everyone to stop, looked at Jibei's side, and said: "Dongping and Jibei, you can attack at the same time, Wenbai and Youwei, first lead 20,000 troops to attack Jibei, and after the battle, garrison, wait for my order to act." We bypassed from the south of Jibei, first hit Zhangxian in Dongping, and then fought Wuyan, and defeated Zhang Miao's army gathered in Dongping, while we occupied Dongping, Wen Bai could almost take Jibei, what do Wen You and Fengxiao think? ”
The two of them looked at each other and thought for a moment.
Guo Jia agreed: "It is feasible! ”
"Then divide the troops from now on, Wenbai and Youwei, you are all right?"
Yang Zhao's gaze fell on Zhang Ji.
Zhang Jizuo said: "The lord is waiting for my good news!" ”
"Good!"
Yang Zhao divided 30,000 people and asked Zhang Ji to take them away.
They continued southward, bypassing Jibei.
Until now, no one has discovered that Yang Zhao has penetrated deep into the territory of Yanzhou.
Zhang Miao and others, no one could have imagined that Yang Zhao would be so bold, and before the army could meet the alliance, they directly gave up defense, replaced defense with offense, and attacked Yanzhou first.
A few days later, Yang Zhao's army came to the edge of Wenshui, east of Zhang County.
"Enemy ...... The enemy is coming! ”
The guards of Zhangxian saw a large army appear in the east without warning, and were about to approach the city, and they shouted in panic.
Yang Zhao saw the turmoil on the city tower and said loudly: "Zijing, go to war!" ”
