Chapter 406: Soldiers and Horses!

What Jia Xu identified, Xi Zhicai did not agree with.

He said, "Since the imperial court is strong, why should His Majesty be in danger?"

This is also true when it is said in reverse.

Jia Xu smiled silently, shook his head and said, "Why are you so stubborn? Since I can't persuade you, then please ask the drama to continue, I just see that what you said is really a little tired, so I just say more."

When today's son is what kind of temperament, Jia Xu asked himself relatively clearly.

In terms of this way of persuasion, the possibility of success is very small.

While the two were talking, Liu Wei suddenly walked over.

"Your Majesty!" The two hurriedly saluted.

Liu Wei looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jia Xu leaned over and said, "The minister and Xi Langzhong are chatting, it's time for Your Majesty to consider returning to Liaocheng. This is not a safe place after all, please think twice about it." new

"What's not safe about this? With you by my side, with 10,000 elite soldiers, I'm afraid it's safer than in Kyoto." Liu Wei said, "Collect your hearts, don't think about it, think about the battle formation first. Cao Ren took Ma Chao as the vanguard, and I felt a little reckless."

Jia Xu smiled lightly, silently took a step back, and gave the opportunity to speak to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai originally wanted to find a few powerful reasons to continue to persuade the emperor to return to Liaocheng, but when he saw Liu Wei coming over, he had to say: "Although General Ma Chao is indeed young, the minister watched him march yesterday, and he seems to be quite orderly and very cautious."

Yesterday, they saw Ma Chao's march from a distance, and they were almost discovered by Ma Chao's probe.

Xi Zhicai continued: "With Ma Chao as the vanguard, the minister does not feel reckless, but may be able to paralyze the enemy and make the enemy think that our army is reckless and underestimate the enemy. Your Majesty felt reckless because of General Ma Chao's young age, and the enemy would inevitably think the same. If General Ma Chao can take advantage of this situation, it will be an opportunity to thwart the enemy's edge."

"The minister always feels that His Majesty's visit to the battlefield is the real recklessness, and the minister implores His Majesty to think twice and return to Liaocheng as soon as possible."

Liu Wei nodded, "In this way, I am a lot more relieved. This is the first battle of the imperial court in Jizhou, and it is related to the morale of the army. If the first battle is lost, even the strongest military spirit will wither."

As for what Xi Zhicai said about the emperor's visit to the battlefield in person, Liu Wei heard it, but he didn't hear it.

"Yuan Shao's steady sitting in Yecheng has impressed me a little, and he is worthy of being my opponent by doing this." Liu Wei said, "It's just that he hasn't sent soldiers and horses to fight, so what's going on? Could it be that he is waiting for my army to come to Yecheng and fight a decisive battle in Yecheng?"

Xi Zhicai suddenly wanted to vomit blood depressed.

It's really a person who can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and what he says is completely different from what the emperor said.

But the emperor said it seriously, as if everyone was talking about one thing.

It's maddening.

Jia Xu smiled secretly, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to put the decisive battle in Yecheng in such a hurry, and it is not a good strategy to start a decisive battle."

"It stands to reason that Yuan Shao should try to attack, and then decide on the place of the decisive battle. Of course, it may be Yecheng, but according to Yuan Shao's temperament, he should not be in Yecheng himself at that time."

Liu Wei looked into the distance with his hands, his deep eyes were full of mountains and rivers, "He can really calm down."

Xi Zhicai looked at the emperor's back like a resentful woman, and sighed faintly.

Your Majesty, you can hold your breath too!

"Report!"

A horse galloped with smoke and dust all the way.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao took Guo Tu as the supervising army, and the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan divided their troops into two routes after sending troops from Yecheng, and ran all the way to Guantao, one path went straight to the south, I don't know where the purpose is!" The scout shouted.

When the mountain breeze blew in his face, Jia Xu tucked up his clothes, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao seems to look down on people a little."

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Wei was a little confused, why did he suddenly involve personality.

No matter how arrogant Yuan Shao is, he shouldn't insult him with life-and-death matters, right?

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao really seems to look down on people." Xi Zhicai also said.

Liu Wei: ???

You two dogs, tell me why!

Jia Xu saw the emperor's fierce eyes glaring, and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty is angry, Yuan Shao will wave his army to the south at this time, and there will only be one purpose - our army's food and grass. He must have wanted to cross the river and attack the white horse."

"I don't know which strategist under Yuan Shao's account is suggesting, but in fact, there are still some means."

Liu Wei glanced at Jia Xu, "But why do I hear that you seem to be mocking?"

Xi Zhicai opened his mouth, and when he saw that Jia Xu was about to speak, Fu silently shut up again and stood quietly on one side.

Jia Xu said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean to mock, but he just felt that this strategist was a little thoughtful. If Yuan Shao attacked Baima Ruocheng, there was no need for this battle to continue, our army would be defeated, and the strategist under Yuan Shao's account must have also taken a fancy to this. If it doesn't work, it can also contain our soldiers and horses and spy on the reality of our army."

"This trick is indeed very good with static braking, if our army gallops to the aid of the white horse, it proves that the white horse is short of troops, and our army's food and grass are indeed tight, Yuan Shao can take the opportunity to intercept and kill the reinforcements, and kill more than one stone. And if our army goes according to the rules and allows that army to attack the white horse, Yuan Shao will probably have to prepare to move elsewhere and prepare for a decisive battle."

"But the strategist who gave Yuan Shao advice probably didn't know how deep the water of the river was, nor did he know Your Majesty's ability to strategize and the ability of the three generals, Zhu Jun, Cao Ren, and Gai Xun."

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to hold a handful of handfuls coming from the north, with a hint of cold wind, and slowly released his palm, letting it slip between his fingers, and said lightly: "What do you mean is that Yuan Shao's move is a meat bun beating a dog, and he is doing a meaningless move that can be thought of, but he has to be tempted?"

These words made Jia Xu a little unable to answer.

If he continues to talk about it, doesn't he think that the emperor is a dog?

Yes, they're all dogs.

"Your Majesty, a minister can be a dog, but Your Majesty, you can't scold yourself." Jia Xu said quietly.

Liu Wei pursed his lips, "I'm just making an analogy, don't care about these details."

"Yui." Jia Xu bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, although you can't say that, this is indeed the truth. Our army's grain and grass are on the south bank of the river, and Zhu Jun is an old general, Yuan Shao should have thought that the possibility of success in this move is extremely small. And with the great river as a moat, there is no reason why our army would immediately lose its sense of proportion and rush to the aid of his army, giving him the opportunity to attack the rear flank of our army."

"And he didn't seem to think that it was easy for his troops and horses to go out, but it was difficult to come back. If our army pursues it while it crosses the river, there will be no way for this army to survive."

Liu Wei nodded slightly, "This is a little bit of saying that the troops are sent out in the morning and evening."

「来人,派快马加急,去问问曹仁准备怎么打这一仗。」

"Yui!" Zhao Ye stepped forward and answered.

Liu Wei didn't intend to give Cao Ren a direct command of the battle, he was more of a bystander now.

The war has just begun, and to put it bluntly, both sides are in a tentative phase.

It's not time to fight for the foundation yet!
