Anfeng's recent weather has been very dull and hot, and the patrol sentinels can sweat all over their bodies by this stuffy air if they ride a little slower, and people with discerning eyes know that heavy rain is about to pour down.

The rainy season in Huainan is concentrated in June and July, and this year it has come to July, but there is no rain, and it seems that this year's rain will come late and must be urgent.

Xiahoudun in Caoying Dazhai outside Anfeng City looked very anxious, pacing back and forth in the Chinese military tent, I don't know if it was because the weather was too hot or the mood was too impatient, he was sweating profusely in armor and helmet.

"How is this good, Lin Mo's movements are too fast, he actually entered Yecheng, and the group of families in the north also chose to acquiesce, there are still 50,000 northern troops in Liyang City, once he launches a frenzy and approaches Xuchang, then even if we want to withdraw, Zhang Liao will definitely chase and kill all the way, this matter is troublesome, troublesome."

Cao Cao took the annexation of the state, captured hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, thousands of war horses, captured more than 20,000 northern troops, and opened up future horse purchase channels, which is great news.

But the bad news is that Lu Bu has entered Jizhou, and he has not set off too many waves, which makes Xiahou feel like he is on pins and needles.

even had the idea of retiring from the army for this reason.

Guo Jia, who was standing on the side, seemed a lot calmer, probably calm and naturally cool, and the whole person seemed very relaxed, and said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be so restless, as I said below, now it's just a matter of comparing with him, who is faster." ”

Xiahoudun knew that the 'he' in Guo Jia's mouth was the so-called master hidden behind Zhang Liao, but he didn't understand this speed until now, it sounded as if Guo Jia had already known that things would develop to this point, so he stood still and asked patiently:

"At first, I thought you were going to do it when they moved to Yanhuiling, to see who reacted faster, but now it seems that Mr. has something else to say, and I hope to tell you."

"General, on the night of the heavy rain, they will inevitably move to Yanhui Ridge, only after the heavy rain passes, the water of the water will weaken to the point that it cannot be drained to Anfeng, and they will rush back to the city, and this is the time for us to compete with it."

Xiahoudun's face showed such an expression, "I'll just say, the rain is pouring, and the soldiers will be stuck in the mud How to start a war, it turns out that what Mr. is referring to is this fast." ”

Then, he frowned and asked: "Then if Jiang Yiqu in Liyang City takes advantage of this situation and fights with Zhang Liao on two fronts, it will be useless for us to take Anfeng." ”

Guo Jia put his hands in front of him, and said with a calm on his face: "The Northern Army on the Liyang side is not worried, even if Lin Mo can enter Yecheng, it will never be possible to absorb all the Northern Army for his own use in the short term, otherwise Sikong would have ordered me to wait for the return trip." ”

Thinking about it, the messenger from Xuchang just brought the news that the eldest brother had taken down the state and Lu Bulinmo had entered Yecheng, and he didn't say that he would return to the army, and the eldest brother should be in his chest.

After Xiahoudun thought about this question, he turned to ask: "Sir, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses can't directly surround Wei to save Zhao, but they may not be able to take the Yellow River down the waterway back to Xuzhou and go around to the front line, how should we deal with this section?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head slowly, and said softly: "No, Lu Bu doesn't have many soldiers and horses, he just ate the northern country, he didn't dare to transfer all the people away, not to mention that our army has just lost more than 10,000 people, and morale is low, on the other hand, Zhang Liao has a great victory, and his prestige is flourishing, and there is no need to send reinforcements at this time." ”

The corners of Xiahoudun's mouth twitched, you say so, my defeat is not bad.

"In the final analysis, it is a comparison with him, who can enter Anfeng City earlier." Guo Jia's eyes narrowed half-narrowed, and he said in a muffled voice.

If it doesn't work early, whoever enters the city may be flooded; Not too late, when the city has already changed hands.

Guo Jiating is willing to compete with the people behind Zhang Liao again, just to see who is faster and has a more accurate control of the battle situation.

As long as Anfeng City is in hand, he can ignore the strategic restrictions of Yanhuiling and annex the eight county towns south of Anfeng County one by one, and even extend his hand to Lujiang.

After taking Anfeng City, the previous losses can be made up.

"If it's just faster than them, then I'm still sure."

Xiahoudun said categorically: "It's a big deal to recruit a death squad when the time comes, block at the foot of Yanhuiling Mountain, and fight for time for the army!" ”

So many people have died here in Anfeng, and now that it is the most critical time, even if it costs something, it is worth it.

Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to be still pondering and had not come back to his senses, Xiahoudun couldn't help but speak, "Mr. has any other worries?" ”

"Does the general remember how Shouchun was captured, and how Sikong took Xiao Pass?"

Guo Jia's words made Xiahou stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, and then blurted out like an electric shock, "I can't figure out that all the Lu troops in the city will not go out of the city, it is possible that they will leave a group of people to pretend to be ordinary people!" ”

Guo Jia bowed his head slightly, and muttered: "If I use soldiers, I will definitely do it." ”

"Thankfully, Mr. mentioned it."

Probably because of the defeat a few days ago, Xia Houdun had a feeling of palpitations, and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes to enter the city, even if you don't slaughter the city, you will drive all the people in the city away!" ”

The word slaughter is no stranger to the people of the old Cao family.

Although Guo Jia does not agree with this approach, it is undeniable that this is the most direct and effective means.

As a strategist, all he has to think about is success or failure, as for the rest, he can take care of the best, but he can't take care of it, so he can only rely on Xiahoudun to be a villain.

I guess, there's no other problem. Guo Jiasi thought about it for a long time, and he didn't feel that there was anything missing, so he relaxed a little.

Knowing that Lu Bu and Lin Mo successfully entered Yecheng, Zhang Liaole went crazy, that is the northern country, Lu Bu, who once looked down on this class of brothers and was scolded by Yuan Shao as a border outcast, successfully entered Yecheng and began to take over the foundation of the Yuan family.

As the father of Lu Jun, Zhang Liao felt a kind of pleasure of slapping his face in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao under Jiuquan knew about it, and the coffin board couldn't hold it down.

Of course, Yan Liangwen couldn't empathize, their eyes were glazed, they weren't happy, and they didn't seem to be sad.

Since Yuan Shao's death, he doesn't seem to be so concerned about everything in the northern country.

During the whole process, I just asked how many people died in the Second Yuan War, and who were the generals.

Knowing that Zhao Rui, Han Ju, Ma Yan and others were all killed, the two of them really felt a pain in their hearts, but their deaths were all died in the battle for power between the two Yuans, at least on the surface, so in the end, they just sighed that things were wrong.

"In the entire northern country, except for Jiang Yiqu, how many familiar faces are left."

Wen Chou patted Yan Liang on the shoulder and comforted: "The eldest prince is gone, there will be no more battles for power, I believe there will still be a chance to have a good time with him." ”

Zhang Liao glanced at the two, he didn't know any Jiang Yiqu, and he couldn't empathize, so he ran to share the good news with Jia Xu.

"Why aren't you happy at all?" Looking at Jia Xu with a calm face, Zhang Liao said that he was a little confused, is he as uncomfortable as Yan Liangwen and ugly for the Northern Army?

"Don't you know what kind of person he Lin Yunwen is, after Yuan Tan's death, Wen Hou's people haven't withdrawn yet, and I know that sooner or later there will be this day."

When Jia Xu said this, Zhang Liao felt that it made sense, but he still muttered that it was too bad.

"General, Wen Hou and Yunwen on the other side of the northern country will clean up, and now we can't hold them back."

"Don't worry, sir, it's all ready, as long as the heavy rain falls, the soldiers will go out of the city overnight, and it is impossible for the Cao army to come out in the rain to intercept and kill, this matter can't be delayed."

Zhang Liao felt discouraged, and after sitting down, he leaned on the handrail under the gazebo and said in a muffled voice: "If we go, there will be no defenders left in the city, otherwise they will definitely dig the river embankment to flood Anfeng, but after the heavy rain stops, it depends on who will seize the city first, but this point is not sure to win." ”

Zhang Liao is a little worried about the topography of Yanhuiling, this year's rain will come late, it will definitely be more urgent than in previous years, even if it does not cause landslides or the like, the army will be hindered a lot when it goes down the mountain, and it will suffer a dark loss if it is faster than Cao's army.

"Therefore, I have prepared three strategies for the general to consider."

Although Zhang Liao is sometimes nervous, he can be as good as a stream, and because of this, Jia Xu feels that there is something that he doesn't have to bury in his heart, and he can say it boldly with confidence.

Moreover, if you can't retreat Cao's army quickly, you will actually risk losing the city if you drag it out.

He knew very well that now it seemed that Lu Bulinmo had become the master of the northern country, but if he really wanted to mobilize the northern army to fight, he couldn't do it in half a year.

Therefore, the only person who can be counted on is Anfeng.

"Will the plan be released?" Zhang Liao was immediately interested.

"A strategy is right, retreat on the night of heavy rain and return to the mountains, wait for the opportunity to return to Anfeng after the rain stops, of course, this is to compete with Cao Jun faster;

The second strategy is to change, the army retreats to the wild goose back to the mountain according to the plan, but leaving some elites to pretend to be people, Cao Jun is to enter the city ahead of our army, and the problem cannot be found in a short time, and the inside and outside can be combined immediately, and then the Cao army can be broken! ”

"Wonderful!"

Without waiting for Jia Xu to say the third strategy, just this second strategy changed, Zhang Liao felt that the fog in his mind was suddenly blown away, and the whole person's thinking was alive.

If you are afraid, then good, don't go into the city, we will come back by ourselves, and there will be no loss in the end.

Beautiful, worthy of being an old yin that my virtuous nephew is full of, one word is a change, and the murderous machine is hidden, which can be called a stroke of genius.

I couldn't have imagined it, I couldn't have imagined it, damn it, I don't think I'd think I'd be a real person on weekdays, but I didn't expect it!

"Good! It's up to Mr. ”

Ah, I have a third strategy, don't you ask?

You don't have to be so good.

Thanks to Jia Xu's lack of obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise it is estimated that he would be suffocated.

Zhang Liao thought about it, if he wanted to say that the person who stayed as an internal responder, it must be his six hundred personal guards, in terms of combat effectiveness, loyalty, and reaction, no one can be stronger than them.

Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Zhang Liao naturally wanted to hurry out to make arrangements, and before leaving, he didn't forget to add a sentence, "Sir's second strategy should not be called change, but should be called strange, and the truth is real and strange." ”

"No, in the third strategy, it can be called strange."

Zhang Liao's right foot had already stepped out of the threshold, and he was attracted back by Jia Xu's words, he turned his head to look, was stunned for a while, and hurriedly turned around.

In this world, there are probably only four words that can make Zhang Liao interested.

"Sir, tell me quickly, how about this third policy?"

"General, don't worry, please come with me."

Jia Xu took him to the sand table in the inner hall, and immediately made some arrangements and deductions, and when he finished his speech and looked at Zhang Liao again, he saw that the latter was stunned.

Could it be that my third strategy is not better than the second strategy, why the general is indifferent, Jia Xu is a little puzzled.

In the next breath, Zhang Liao let out a long sigh, "It turns out that it can be like this, it can be like this, how could I not have imagined that I have studied the virtual and real odds for several years in vain, but in front of Mr., it is like I have not learned the art of war and has not heard of Tao Strategy."

Compared with Mr. This strange, I am simply not in the stream, and in terms of fiction and reality, I would like to call Mr. the strongest. ”

Is Lin Mo powerful? The answer is yes.

But Lin Mo used soldiers several times, especially with strange soldiers, Zhang Liao heard about it, and he didn't see it with his own eyes.

But Jia Xu really showed off an operation in front of him, how could the impact of seeing and hearing be ordinary?

Zhang Liao was so excited that he couldn't even help himself.

"Wonderful, wonderful, out of nothing, dark Chen Cang, fake and true, bluff, this strategy is worthy of strange words!"

Jia Xu helped his forehead, the general doesn't have to be like this, it's just a basic exercise.

"So, the general plans to use this strategy?" Jia Xu wanted to confirm further.

"This is natural, the current situation of Anfeng, there will be no better plan than Mr.'s plan!"

"The general is false."

In fact, Jia Xu himself is also inclined to use this method, so he wants to give it a strange name, and its practical way of war is not strange at all in Jia Xu's opinion, the fighter plane is fleeting, and the inspiration is coming, and it is naturally strange.

That is, Zhang Liao likes to listen, if Lu Bu is here, he will say that there are three strategies in the top, middle and bottom.

Anyway, there is only one purpose, to break the enemy and protect yourself from being reckoned with by the autumn queen.

Zhang Liao is a man of action who does what he says, and when he finally determined the strategy, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately went down to give the order.

Two days later, it began to rain heavily throughout Anfeng, as if it was pouring down.

In this kind of weather, as soon as the sky got dark, Zhang Liao began to command the troops in the city to go out of the city, and if it was any later, he was afraid that the horses and people would be stuck in the mud.

It was Cao Jun who didn't dare to come to the sneak attack, but if he acted too slowly, Jia Xu's clever plan was likely to be discovered.

More than 18,000 people came out of Sanmen and finally disappeared into the vast rainy night.

Walking along the post road, the men and horses will not be trapped, thanks to Jia Xu's foresight, the grain, grass and baggage in the city are transferred to the Yanhui Ridge, otherwise in this weather, the carriage will definitely be stuck in the quagmire.

There are also advantages, in this extreme weather, there is no need to worry that Cao Jun's scouts will find out their whereabouts, even if this team is so large, in such visual conditions and impassable roads, the scouts will not be able to move freely.

Moreover, their team was divided into five groups, all the way through the dense forest, and through the mountain road, the secrecy is still very strong.

Therefore, what Xiahoudun heard from the scouts was only sure that the Lu army had left Anfeng City and was rushing in the direction of Yanhuiling.

This was expected, but there was not much reaction.

The next thing is to wait, wait for the rain to stop, wait for the water level to drop, and then start to seize Anfeng!
