Chapter 265, two rivals
The fact that Kuai Yue is ruthless and bleeding, although there are various factors in it, such as the difference in commander and the level of strategy...... But the answer is the answer after all.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Biao couldn't help but say: "Zhang Xiu may not be able to defeat Zhao Yun, but as long as he drags the white-robed iron cavalry and restrains its mobility, our army can rush up so that it can no longer use the method of attacking." ”
"Do you want to transfer the soldiers and horses hired by Wen to the front?" Cai Mao asked.
Wen Ping is strict in governing the army, and he is brave in the three armies, and his troops and horses are the most capable of fighting in the entire Jingzhou army. Although I don't want to admit it, it's a fact.
"Never." Kuai Liang decisively opened his mouth to stop it, and said seriously: "Looking at Guo Jia's use of troops, he likes to use frontal containment the most, and then break through from the flanks and rear flanks. If he transferred the soldiers and horses hired by the civil servants, wouldn't he send him a flaw in vain? ”
Since he decided to compete with Guo Jia, he naturally studied the other party's methods and knew that this was the other party's usual method.
First, put pressure on the front, force you to draw troops from other positions, reveal the flaws, and finally deliver the fatal blow.
At the beginning, Liu Bei used this trick in the first battle to pacify the Yellow Turban.
Liu Biao felt that it made sense when he heard this, so he nodded.
"What Zirou said is extremely true, Guo Jia likes to win by surprise, and our army must not mess with itself."
……
The red flames of war swept across the land, leaving devastation everywhere.
A simple number, but behind it are countless bloody bones.
Although Guo Jia had long been accustomed to it, when he stood on the top of the mountain again, overlooking the red scene below, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to use Qiaorui's soldiers and horses to charge forward with our army?" Zhao Yun rode his horse behind Guo Jia, his white robe was stained red with blood, and the silver spear in his hand was constantly dripping blood to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Guo Jia looked back and smiled.
"I just don't think it's like the usual methods of military advisors."
"If it were my previous tactics, it would have been a frontal containment and a breakthrough from the flanks, right?"
"Yes."
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "What we can think of, the opponent will definitely think of." If you still use the old method, wouldn't it make your opponent feel thorough? ”
"The military advisor means ......"
Do you know the true meaning of the "strange" of the art of war? ”
"The imagination is so wild that the opponent can't figure it out, but the military advisor has to change the previous tactics to make it difficult for the enemy to guess."
Zhao Yun had been by Guo Jia's side for a long time, so he naturally understood what he thought was a "strange scheme" in his heart.
Winning by surprise, as the name suggests, is to defeat the strong with the weak, and it is a risky tactic to win with a small and a big.
If your opponent doesn't see through it, you'll get a lot of benefit. Otherwise, it will end up in the annihilation of the whole army.
The difference is in how well you do it and whether your opponent has seen through it.
"So the military division is planning to directly break through head-on and catch the enemy by surprise?" But it was Xu Rong who rushed to hear the news and intervened in the topic.
"Not bad."
Guo Jia nodded, and said with a straight face: "There is only one word in this battle, that is, fast, so fast that Liu Biao can't react, and before he even organizes an effective defense, he has already been defeated." ”
"Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and the two of them are both strategic people, they must think that I will order Qiao Rui to sneak attack his rear flank, and lay heavy troops in the rear and left and right wings."
"But I did the opposite, attacking it with all my might. Their strength in the front will only be almost the same as our army, and with the same strength, will our northern army's iron cavalry still be able to defeat his Jingzhou army? ”
"Tell the soldiers that the first person to break through to the enemy's military department, no matter what official or position, will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed ten thousand households. The second to tenth people will be promoted to three levels below the general, and one level above the general. ”
Guo Jia looked at the two of them after speaking.
The last words are the use of the sentence "There must be brave men under the heavy reward", why was the Qin army called the army of tigers and wolves?
It is precisely because of the rewards of high-ranking officials that they throw their heads and spill their blood for it.
"The title of the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, the cloud is going to be decided!" After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he was about to turn the horse's head.
"The general probably won't mind the last general fighting you, right?" Xu Rong shouted, obviously even he coveted the reward of the marquis of ten thousand households.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" ”
"Good!"
The two gestured to Guo Jia, and then rode away side by side.
Guo Jia looked at the backs of the two of them and said to himself: "In life, after all, you can't avoid fame, fortune, and wealth, as well as ...... Faith in the heart. ”
"Isn't this a big reward?" Xiao Zhan, who was on the side, witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but mention it.
Although Guo Jia is named Taiwei, he is actually Liu Bei's courtier, and he does not have the power to directly grant the title of Marquis of Wanhu.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Guo never fights uncertain battles, and never does meaningless things. ”
Liu Bei asked him to defeat Liu Biao's 100,000 army with 30,000 people, so he would naturally give some privileges.
At the beginning, Guo Jia had already mentioned to Liu Bei that if the weak wanted to defeat the strong, it was indispensable to use high-ranking officials to boost morale.
Liu Bei was also not stingy, and directly waved his hand, giving Guo Jia an upper limit of "Ten Thousand Households".
The reason why he was willing to pay such a price for this seemingly unrelated battle was because Nanyang was not only Yuan Shu's territory, but also related to the strategic layout of Liu Bei's group.
He didn't want Yuan Shu to lose to Cao Cao before he entered Yizhou, because in this way, the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would be advanced.
If Liu Bei has not completely occupied Yizhou at the time of the decisive battle between the two, then whether Cao Cao or Yuan Shao wins, the people who occupy the entire Central Plains will catch up with Liu Bei in strength, or even surpass him.
Looking at it this way, the battle of Nanyang is particularly important, and Liu Bei always thinks that Cao Cao has a greater chance of winning.
……
Cao Cao obviously understood this, at this moment he was confronting Yuan Shu under the city of Runan, and when he heard the news of Liu Bei's troops, he subconsciously scolded: "The hateful big-eared thief, he wants his Yizhou, I take my Yuzhou, why do you want to come and intervene?" ”
But he ignored that when Liu Bei sent troops into Shu, he also had the idea of interfering, but he gave up because the whip was out of reach.
"What did the lord do to make Liu Bei so jealous of you?" Chen Gong asked curiously.
From the perspective of territory, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, the troops and money and food are better than Cao Cao.
But this person seems to have some personal grudges, targeting Cao Cao everywhere, if it was not obvious enough before, now it is completely on the surface.
Because we all live a new life, know each other's abilities, and see each other as the first enemy.
Of course, Cao Cao would not say this.
Cao Cao sighed: "Maybe it's the grievances of the previous life, who knows?" ”
Then he added, "Looks like I'm going to need some tricks." ”
