Chapter 422: Pass the pot level
Kettle off.
The first pass in western Hebei, which took more than a year to build, returned to the arms of the imperial court almost bloodlessly, and after Gai Xun entered the city, he did not immediately convene the generals of various ministries to discuss the next strategy.
Instead, let Xun Chen take it with him first and patrol around the city.
"Frustration is a great talent!" After reading it, he said to Xun Chen.
Xun Chen echoed and said, "Yuan Shao was defeated, not because his strategists and generals did not have enough skills, but because of his arrogance and the intrigue under his command. Including the humble position, Yuan Shao's account is known as having eight strategists and four generals, but this total of twelve people is divided into several camps, divided into several camps, divided and combined, you fight for me, which is dazzling."
"Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, these two people are quite admirable, they are indeed some great talents, but the really talented people have been pulled down from the front line and thrown into the prison in such an important war."
Gai Xun asked lightly, "Are you feeling sorry for the two of them?"
Xun Chen suddenly felt a little depressed, how did he feel that Gai Xun seemed to be a little wary of him?
This shouldn't be!
"If you don't look at it from any point of view, I do feel a little sorry for them. However, he felt that His Majesty's ruthless vision and precise strategizing were rare in the world. With such an emperor, there is no reason why the Han family cannot be revived!" Xun Chen said.
Gai Xun's majestic eyes glanced at Xun Chen calmly, and said, "Tell the Chinese army to discuss the big tent."
"Whoa!"
In the middle of the night, Gai Xun gathered troops in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Before the discussion, he got to know the generals of Huguan one by one, and personally asked them about their origins, and chatted for a while, and in a few short words, the generals quickly became acquainted.
Xun Chen watched silently from the side, and introduced Gai Xun personally from time to time.
Some people are not as famous as they meet, but Gaixun is the opposite, it is better to be famous than to meet.
After seeing what Gai Xun did, Xun Chen can also understand why such a general, who is not well-known in the world, can win the favor of the two emperors and has always relied on important tasks.
In the hands of the former emperor, it was a land ready to be abandoned.
But in essence, it is undoubtedly the northern barrier of the imperial court.
And the current emperor first appointed Cao Cao to guard and annex the state, and then took Gai Xun as a general.
This can also be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to Bingzhou, as well as Cao Cao and Gai Xun.
By the time those seemingly unnutritious small talk was over, the time had passed.
Gai Xun ordered someone to prepare some tea, and while everyone was drinking, Gai Xun got to the point, and asked Xun Chen: "I have just taken a look at all of you, only Xun Jian Jun is a strategist, where should our army attack next?" I don't know if Xun Jian Jun has a high opinion!"
Xun Chen put down the teacup, got up and said, "The defeated army is demoted, I really don't dare to be the name of the supervising army, and the humble position is only Yuan Shao's supervising army. Since the general asked about sending troops, he didn't dare not say anything about it, and he said a few nonsense words, and he should throw stones and ask for directions, and throw bricks and bricks to lead the way."
Gai Xun glanced at Xun Chen and scolded, "You are not a modest person, so don't say these weird things, just say it."
Xun Chen: ......
"Humble intentions, the general should attack Yecheng directly!" Xun Chen said, "Yuan Shao reorganized an army of 60,000 and took the initiative to attack Cao Ren, and handed over the matter of staying in Yecheng to the trial, and the soldiers and horses in the city were around 30,000, which can be regarded as a strong army."
"But for the general, 30,000 troops shouldn't be a problem."
Gai Xun rebuked: "An army of 30,000 troops is stationed in a fortified city, and the general defending the city is such a brave and resourceful person, how can it not be considered trouble? Our army has only about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is a big trouble to attack a fortified city with an equal number of troops, how can it be said that there is no trouble? Don't give me those meaningless sycophants, say something useful."
Yan Xing sat under Gai Xun, and when he heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
That's probably
It's the rumored one thing to drop one thing.
Before, he watched Xun Chen deal with ***, it was really a dead eat, *** was almost not angry.
But Xun Chen met Gai Xun, who pursued reality and was as meticulous as a hair, and he had to touch a nail if he said two words casually.
Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why the humble position said that this battle is not a trouble for the general is because Yuan Shao will be defeated, and the general can only attack Yecheng."
"What do you mean by that?" Gai Xun asked, furrowed his eyebrows.
Xun Chen got up and walked to the map, pointed his finger at Liaocheng, and said, "If the humble guess is correct, Yuan Shao will be defeated in this place. Guo Tu is confident that he has the ticket to victory in his hands, but he is also confident in his humble position, and His Majesty is confident in this battle."
"Although Ma Chao is a young general, he has carefully watched the battles he has participated in, and he has both the spirit of a young man and the bravery of a general. In the face of Guo Tu, a female cunning person, he may be defeated, but if he loses more, there will be flaws!"
"And what makes the humble official the most suspicious is that Ma Chao has been defeated in successive battles, but the army behind Cao Ren has never been seen. Especially, there is also a large army that has been ignored by everyone, the minister heard that His Majesty drove the expedition in person, and disappeared after entering Jizhou, where can Your Majesty be? It is expected to be near the battlefield."
"General Cao Ren's command is all the elite of the imperial court's West Garden, and there are also Zhang Ji's troops who destroyed Han Sui, and the soldiers are elite. And the Great Han Guards beside His Majesty are the most elite and warlike army in the world."
"There will be Cao Ren, Zhang Ji, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Yinglin, a full five generals, and the strategists are like the dense forest outside this pot, far away from Erxun, near Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the like, how to fight this battle, they should have already planned clearly."
"After Yuan Shao and Guo Tu joined forces, there were certainly a lot of troops, and there should be 80,000 people. But the strategists are unbearable, the generals are talentless, and they are arrogant and wanton, and the appearance of defeat is already visible!"
After listening quietly, Gai Xun said, "Your statement is too absolute!"
"On the contrary, I feel that the algorithm of lowly duty is a bit conservative, and the imperial court Xiyuan Army has fought in the east and west, and has fought in the four northern states, which is a real record that everyone in the world can see. What kind of Jizhou soldiers are, they are also very lowly," Xun Chen was full of confidence and talked eloquently.
"If the general attacked Yuan Shao from the back, he would indeed be able to decide the direction of this battle more quickly, but he thought that there was no need. Ma Chao has lost several games in a row, and he is probably close to the extreme of luring the snake out of the hole, if nothing else, General Cao Ren should also be about to move his troops."
"At this time, the general waved his army north, and the troops came to the city of Yecheng. One can shake Yuan Shaojun's heart and make Yuan Shao afraid to fight. Second, it can also greatly shorten the time of this battle, and the final word will be finalized."
The strength and plan of the imperial army, Gai Xun is naturally clear.
Although he didn't show anything on the surface, he actually approved of Xun Chen's plan in his heart.
Moreover, this is also the direction he has been a little hesitant to go in before.
The reason for the hesitation was not that Cao Ren couldn't fight, and he might be defeated, but that he was worried about the emperor.
Cao Ren can't fight, and the white horse still has Zhu Jun in his pocket.
Under Zhu Jun's account, there are Duan Xuan, Zhang Xiu, Cao Chun, and Xiahou Yuan secretly, and the strength of the army is not weaker than that of Cao Ren's department.
Gai Xun was worried that it was the emperor who was supposed to be high, but he liked to take the lead and charge into battle.
If he can attack Yuan Shao from behind, at least the emperor's safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Gai Xun thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Xing led his troops to stay in Huguan, and asked Xun Jian to reorganize the troops and horses, and send troops tomorrow to attack Yangping County."
Xun Chen: ???
I've been talking about it for so long, is it in vain to co-author?!
"Why didn't the general choose Yecheng?" Xun Chen was a little depressed and couldn't help asking.
Gai Xun's attitude was a little better, and he said, "Your plan is not wrong, but Your Majesty is in Yangping."
Xun Chen understood, and bowed slightly, "I understand." new
He is looking for a quick victory, while Gai Xun chooses to win steadily and the emperor's foolproofness
。
"Summoned Xiahoudun, pulled out the army overnight, crossed the Huguan Pass, paved the road in the mountains, and built bridges in the water, paving the way for our army!" Gai Xun ordered in a deep voice again.
"Whoa!"
Xun Chen was stunned, there are still soldiers and horses left outside the city?
Gai Xun, an old thief, is also too cautious!
