Chapter 172: The Battle of Yuzhou Started, and Liu Bei's civil and military forces gathered
Luyang.
Yuan Shu's son-in-law, Huang Yi, knocked his head on the ground, trembling.
In front of Huang Yi, Yuan Shu was angry, pointing at Huang Yi and scolding while walking back and forth:
"Rubbish, just rubbish!"
"How could Ben marry his daughter to you, you shit!"
"Let you unite with Li Dao and Guo Yan to intercept and kill Guan Yu, it's such a simple thing, you actually failed!"
Huang Yi was very aggrieved in his heart.
When the interception failed, Yue Zhangling just said that he just took the opportunity to destroy Chen Guo.
As a result, now the situation is beyond your expectations, father-in-law, Liu Bei broke off the alliance and will not die, and he will start to blame my son-in-law again?
There were complaints, but Huang Yi didn't dare to refute Yuan Shu, just pretending to be dumb and waiting for Yuan Shu's anger to disappear.
After a long time, Yuan Shu seemed to be tired of scolding, and returned to his seat in a huff.
Seeing this, Huang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and poured a bowl of water and wine for Yuan Shu, and said with a sneer: "Uncle Yue, drink two sips to moisten your throat first." ”
Yuan Shu snorted coldly, drank all the water and wine in the bowl, and then smashed the jade bowl hard, making Huang Yi feel distressed.
"Do you have a message from the Black Mountain Thief?"
After obtaining the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu sent people north to Montenegro to give the Black Mountain thief's Qu Shuai the official and ordered him to attack Wei County.
Huang Yi said cautiously: "Yu Xuan, Bai Huan, Su Gu and other Qu Shuai have passed on the news one after another, and they are willing to help Yue Zhang's attack on Wei County, about 100,000 people. ”
"But Qu Shuai Bai Huan said that he was tired of staying in Montenegro, so he wanted to be a Dongjun Taishou."
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "But a thief, you also want to bargain with this general?" The Black Mountain thieves are already a group of scattered sand, if they divide their troops to fight Dongjun again, wouldn't they let Yuan Benchu's little concubines break each other? ”
Huang Yi sneered: "Uncle Yue, this black mountain thief is just a thief after all, and it is good to be able to say that they can send troops." Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu was Liu Dai's person, and Liu Dai married Yuan Shao. ”
"The Black Mountain thieves attacked Wei County, and Wang Qiu of Dongjun will also send troops to help Yuan Shao, it is better to let Bai Huan go to fight Dongjun, and there will be no loss to Yuezhang anyway."
"If Bai Huan is lucky, maybe he can kill Wang Qiu, and Yuezhang can successfully enter Dongjun, destroy Zhang Miao of Chen Liuliu to the south, and Yuan Yu of Shanyang County and Yuan Xu of Jiyin County to the east, and you can get half of Yanzhou to compete with Yuan Shao."
Yuan Shu frowned and reprimanded: "Waste! Zhang Miao originally had a grudge against Yuan Benchu and Liu Dai, and he deliberately wanted to bypass Chen and go to Hanoi County to Baimajin, but he didn't want to cause more trouble, you still want Ben to kill Zhang Miao? ”
"Kill Zhang Miao, who will resist Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu for Ben General?"
"Instead of thinking about this, it's better to think more about the ability to command the army."
"If it weren't for my daughter's face, I would have beaten you out of the crowd a long time ago."
Huang Yi couldn't make a plan, but was scolded by Yuan Shu, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground again.
"Go and summon Sun Jian to see the general!" Yuan Shu looked at this son-in-law more and more unpleasantly.
thought that Huang Yi was the handsome man of the Nanyang Huang family, but in order to win over Yuan Shu of the Nanyang Huang family, he married his daughter to Huang Yi, but Huang Yi was not worthy of his name.
Huang Yi hurriedly got up and withdrew from the small pavilion in panic.
But after leaving the small pavilion, Huang Yi's eyes were a little more resentful.
"It's Sun Jian again!"
"Sun Jian is not your son-in-law!"
"Won't there be a war? Is faithfulness equal to me? ”
Huang Yi scolded and summoned Sun Jian.
Sun Jian has also been troubled lately.
Whether it was playing against Zhou Ang or Zhou Xin, Sun Jian was rejected by Yuan Shu many times.
Yuan Shu's reason is also very sufficient, killing chickens and using a cattle slaughtering knife!
After being summoned by Yuan Shu, Sun Jian could only helplessly go to the small pavilion where Yuan Shu was.
"Ming Gong, but are you going to send troops?" Sun Jian asked tentatively.
Yuan Shu nodded: "Liu Bei openly sent a message to all parties to break off the alliance with the general and never die, and Dong Thief also took the opportunity to make trouble, and even appointed Liu Chong, the king of Chen, as the general of Yuzhou Mu and Fuhan. ”
"If you can't destroy the Chen State, the plan to go north will definitely be frustrated."
"Ben will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to the Chen State, and you must take the head of King Chen for Ben General."
Sun Jian was suddenly distressed, how easy is it to take the head of King Chen?
"Duke Ming, if you want to destroy the Chen State, it is not enough to have only 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is better to temporarily abandon the Pei State, transfer the troops to the north back, concentrate the superior forces, and destroy the Chen State first." Sun Jian stubbornly offered advice.
But obviously, Yuan Shu did not agree with Sun Jian's strategy, and his tone was a little unkind: "Wentai, if Peiguo is lost, Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang will be able to go straight to Runan and threaten the general's place to hoard grain." ”
"If the troops going north are transferred back, the Montenegrin thieves will not see the general's soldiers and horses, and they will withdraw to Montenegro, won't it make the general untrustworthy?"
"Can you defeat Dong Zhuo, can't you defeat just one Liu Pet?"
"Ben Jiang has heard that when you were in Luoyang, you had a good relationship with Guan Yu?"
Sun Jian was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Ming Gong misunderstood!" At that time, his subordinates were allies with Guan Yu, and in order to be able to fight Dong Zhuo together, they had more thoughts on making friends. ”
"If they meet on the battlefield, their subordinates will not show favoritism."
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "It's good to know!" Wentai, this great cause of the world, I would like to share it with you. ”
Looking at Sun Jian's departing back, Yuan Shu's eyes became even more manic.
In front of Yuan Shu's eyes, there was a piece of information that had just come from Xiangyang: Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, had troops in Xinye, and there were signs of attacking Nanyang.
"Liu Biaopifu, don't you die of thieves in Nanyang County?"
The recent information that came was almost all unfavorable to Yuan Shu, but although this information made Yuan Shu angry, it did not make Yuan Shu panic.
Yuan Shu has confidence in himself!
Even the jade seal of the country is in his hand, which is enough to prove that this heavenly way is towards himself.
"Be arrogant! Once the general defeats the primordial child, you monkeys will just run around. ”
Yuan Shu scolded viciously, and then carefully took out the heirloom jade seal.
Looking at the "Ordered by the Heavens, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity" on the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu's eyes became enthusiastic, as if he saw a stunning beauty, and he couldn't put it down.
Chen Guo.
After Liu Zhong, the king of Chen, received the seal of the Yuzhou Mu and the general of the Fu Han, he ordered Luo Jun to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.
In addition to Cao Bao, who was seriously injured, who was still recuperating from his injuries, Guan Yu, Liyi, Tian Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Zhang Hong, and Liu Yan were all temporarily under Liu Chong's orders.
Besides.
Chen Deng of Xiapi also arrived in Chen State after obtaining the consent of his father Chen Qi.
Seeing that Chen Deng was quite proficient in military affairs, and Zhang Hong proved his identity, Liu Chong did not doubt that he had him, and also asked Chen Deng to participate in the military.
"There is a secret report in the direction of Luyang: Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian, a general under his command, to command 10,000 troops to fight Chen Guo."
"Sun Jian has been famous for a long time, and he has a record of defeating Dong Zhuo, so he is not easy to match."
"You are all civil and military heroes who came to Chen Guo to help the king on the order of Liu Qingzhou, do you have a good way to retreat from the enemy?"
Liu Chonggao sat on the main seat and glanced at Guan Yu and the others.
Zhang Fei had already resentment in his heart because of Sun Jian's withdrawal from the army, and said angrily: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!" Sun Jian was a thief, causing Lu Shi to enter Chang'an alone, and almost killed his second brother. This hatred can only be resolved by taking the head of Sun Jian's thief. ”
"I will lead the troops to fight Sun resolutely to the death!"
Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was impatient, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Third brother, don't underestimate Sun Jian!" This person is not under Guan Mou, and he has been fighting for many years, and there are many people under his command who can fight well. ”
"Although the third brother is brave, the soldiers and horses under his command are not elite enough, and it is difficult to win against the enemy head-on!"
"If you want to break Sun Jian, you need to outwit!"
Zhang Fei was unconvinced: "If I can't fight with Sun Jian, how can I relieve my anger?" The second brother used me as bait to set up an ambush, and if I won, he would take the head of Sun Jian; If I lose, I will lead him into the ambush of my second brother. ”
Guan Yu looked at Zhang Hong a little helplessly.
In these days in Chen Guo, Guan Yu knew that Zhang Fei had a lot of respect for Zhang Hong, but he would discuss all major matters with Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong pondered for a moment: "General Zhang's words are not unreasonable. If you can win with bravery, you will break the enemy with bravery; If you can't win with bravery, you can defeat the enemy with wisdom! ”
Zhang Fei laughed: "Mr. Zigang still understands me!" Second brother, even Mr. Zigang agreed, don't worry. Jiangdong children, how can they compare to the courage of my Youyanqing Xu Jian'er! ”
Zhang Hong ordered someone to take a topographic map of Yuzhou, outline Sun Jian's most likely march route, and mark the most suitable places for ambush on the march route.
"Sun Jian has been in battle for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the terrain of Yuzhou, and Sun Jian can also think of the ambush location we can think of."
"The battle is dangerous, if you want to ambush Sun Jian, you must choose a place that Sun Jian knows is easy to hide and has to pass through."
"These three locations are what I think are the most suitable locations for ambushes."
Zhang Hong annotated and analyzed it to everyone.
How to hide the troops, when to enter the troops, and the details of the response, Zhang Hong explained very clearly.
At the end, Zhang Hong said: "But these ambush points have a flaw, we can't guarantee that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses will arrive at dusk, which will reduce the effect of the ambush by half." ”
"If the ambush fails, the next thing we will face is a head-on battle with Sun Jian."
"Although I believe in the bravery of your generals, victory or defeat on the battlefield is not something that can be won by the general's bravery."
"Except for the soldiers and horses brought back from Luoyang by General Guan and General Koji, whether it is the Langya soldiers, or the newly recruited Yuzhou soldiers of Ziyi, or the Chen Guobing of King Chen, they are not as elite as Sun Jian."
"If you hold on to Sun Jian in the Chen State for too long, when Yuan Shu repels several other soldiers and horses, he will inevitably increase Sun Jian's troops."
"When the time comes, Chen Guo will face a more severe battle!"
Zhang Hong analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy as much as possible.
The large number of fierce generals and the favorable location of the home field are the advantages of Chen Guo's side, but the lack of soldiers is the disadvantage of Chen Guo's side.
Chen Deng suggested: "It is better to divide the troops to feint and attack Runan all the way, secretly attack Luyang, bluff, and delay Sun Jian's march." ”
Zhang Hong understood: "Yuan Long wants to use the strategy of suspicious soldiers to disrupt Sun Jian's marching deployment, so that he cannot reach his destination within the specified time, if he can calculate accurately, he can make Sun Jian have to arrive at the ambush point at dusk." ”
Chen Deng nodded: "That's what it means." Even if Sun Jian was prepared, it was impossible to completely control the daily marching mileage, as long as Sun Jian's original marching speed was frequently disrupted, Sun Jian's original deployment could be disrupted. ”
"And we wait for the rest of the work, and the static braking is enough to achieve the greatest advantage."
Liu Yan couldn't understand the discussion between Zhang Hong and Chen Deng, and asked, "How can this be calculated clearly?" Sun Jian can't always march according to our ideas. ”
Chen Deng laughed: "If you want to spoil Sun Jian's marching speed, there are many ways that you can use. Our purpose is not to make Sun Jian march according to our ideas, but to increase the possibility of a successful ambush as much as possible. ”
"Even if we only have one more chance, it's not a loss for us."
At this time.
Guan Yu suddenly spoke: "Two gentlemen, you may have overlooked a key point. ”
Zhang Hong, Chen Deng, and Liu Yan all looked at Guan Yu.
Although Guan Yu is a military general, everyone does not underestimate Guan Yu's military strategy.
Lu Zhi's high-ranking disciples are not just capable of charging into battle.
Guan Yu narrowed Danfeng's eyes slightly, and slowly spoke: "Sun Jian is a person who is brave and unprepared. On the battlefield, he often takes the lead and chases after an enemy general. ”
"In the past, when he was in Luoyang, Sun Jian saw Lu Bu on the battlefield, and he rushed to Lu Bu without even bringing his personal guards."
"If it weren't for Guan to catch up, Sun Jianjian would have been hit hard by Lu Bu."
"If you gentlemen want to make a plan, you can take Sun Jian's combat style into account."
Guan Yu's words made Zhang Hong and Chen Deng stunned.
"Sun Jian is the commander of the three armies, how can he charge into battle and risk arrows and stones like ordinary generals?" Zhang Hong's tone was suspicious: "If Sun Jian makes a mistake, won't the three armies be defeated?" ”
Chen Deng also said: "General Guan, is this matter serious? Could it be just a coincidence? ”
Guan Yu shook his head: "You only know that Sun Jian won consecutive battles in Luoyang, but you don't know that Sun Jian was defeated by Xu Rong and almost wiped out. ”
"At that time, Xu Rong seized Sun Jian's weakness of liking to take the lead and implemented a beheading plan for Sun Jian, which led to the defeat of Sun Jian's three armies."
"When he was in Luoyang, Guan had a lot of friends with Sun Jian. Guan can be sure that this is not an accident! ”
Chen Deng's eyes were a little more solemn: "Fortunately, the general reminded me, otherwise Brother Zigang and I would have made the mistake of knowing each other and not knowing each other." ”
"I thought that Sun Jian could defeat Dong Zhuo, and he must be a wise general who is good at commanding the three armies, but I didn't expect to be so self-assured and brave."
Zhang Hong also said: "As the commander of the three armies, I don't know the weight of the commander!" It's a big no-no. ”
Just as Zhang Hong and Chen Deng were about to perfect the cloth timing, Guan Yu spoke again: "Everyone, Guan thinks that he may not have to fight to the death with Sun Jian. ”
Well?
Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, have you forgotten how Lu Shi went to Chang'an?" If Sun Jian dares to withdraw his troops, he will have to pay the price! ”
Guan Yu said in a condensed voice: "Third brother, Sun Jian's withdrawal is really helpless, and he is not stupid and loyal to Yuan Shu. ”
"Guan thinks that you can set up an ambush, but don't set up an ambush for the purpose of killing Sun Jian."
"With Sun Jian's personality, it is not difficult to lead him into the valley alone, and at that time, Guan will persuade him with good words."
"If Sun Jian retreats in the face of difficulties, everyone will naturally be happy; If Sun Jian didn't know what to do, Guan would personally take Sun Jian's head! ”
