"After the Jinyang Incident, Zhen Yao hid in Bingzhou and never came back. However, the Zhen family received an order to raise grain and grass to support our army and sent it to Dai County. According to the information I received, the grain and grass will be focused on the foundation.
In an empty city, why..." Xu You looked at everyone and smiled: "You may have thought of it?"
Everyone present is not stupid. The Zhen family obviously has ulterior motives for doing this. After the deaths of Xin Pi, Gao Gan, and Guo Yuan, as well as the loss of Bingzhou, if you think about it seriously, it is better to help Chen Gong from the Zhen family.
Regardless of the purpose of transporting grain to Guanzhong, Zhen Yao probably knew that he would have nothing to gain when he came back, so he completely defected to Chu Nan and used the Zhen family's influence in Jizhou to help Chu Nan.
It is very possible to prepare for the attack on Youzhou's forage.
"Shameless villain!" Guo Tu snorted coldly, looked at Yuan Shao and said: "My lord, why not use this as an excuse to arrest the three Zhen family members and confiscate their property."
"No!" Jushou quickly shook his head and said, "It would be okay if we just confiscated the Zhen family. However, the Zhen family has deep roots in Jizhou, and there are many celebrities who are related to the Zhen family by marriage. The Ruoyi clan is too involved and can easily cause turmoil.
, it is not appropriate to engage in a major war at this time."
Xu You seconded the opinion: "I think that maybe we can take advantage of this matter to make a plan and set up a trap for Lu Bu!"
Yuan Shao's eyes moved when he heard this, and he looked at Xu You and said, "What's Ziyuan's clever plan?"
"Lord." Xu You said with a smile: "The reason why Chen Gong raised grain and grass in this way is because the road to Bingzhou is difficult. To transport grain and grass from the Central Plains to Youzhou, you need to go through Heluo, cross the river, and then cross Hedong, Taiyuan, and Yanmen.
The land of the three counties stretches for more than a thousand miles? And the road to Bingzhou is difficult. Our army only needs to send a few elite troops to enter the country to find places to set up ambushes, cut off their food routes, and easily make them fall into a dilemma without food. "
After a pause, seeing everyone looking at him, Xu You smiled and said, "Why don't we take advantage of our strategy and gather our elite troops to find a precise location to set up an ambush, just in time to surround and kill Lu Bu? The terrain at this secluded junction is more suitable for trapping the enemy."
, if Lu Bu really dares to come, it will be easier to surround and kill him. Although he has lost Bingzhou, but he can kill Lu Bu, why not worry about not being able to retake Bingzhou, and then send his troops southward, destroying Chunan will be as easy as turning the palm of his hand!"
Tian Feng frowned: "Could this be Chen Gong's plan? Use food and grass to lure the main force of our army to Youzhou? Now that Lu Bu is in Bingzhou, why don't you take this opportunity to gather all your strength to defeat the main force of Chu Nan first? If you can capture and kill him
Chu Nan, not even Lu Bu can preside over such a vast Central Plains!"
Lu Bu's death will only shake the morale of the army, but if Chu Nan can be killed, it will be a huge profit. Now the overall situation of the Central Plains is controlled by Chu Nan alone. If Chu Nan dies, although Chu Nan has heirs, they are too young, and Lu Bu will go there
Although he is the lord here, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Bu was able to reach this point only because of the help of his son-in-law. Without Chu Nan, Lu Bu might not even be able to control Xuzhou, let alone the three states of the Central Plains.
Now, how can Lu Bu control it?
As long as Chu Nan dies, the current Chu Nan's power will probably fall apart immediately. In addition, some people in the court who are dissatisfied with Chu Nan will take the opportunity to take action, and the current Central Plains will immediately be divided into an era of princes. Wouldn't it be better for Yuan Shao to defeat them one by one at that time?
"What Yuan Hao said is not unreasonable!" Yuan Shao nodded hesitantly. He was very tempted by Xu You's plan, but the only thing was that the ambush site was too far away from Ye City. If Chu Nan defeated Cao Ren in Ye City, Ye City would be destroyed.
was directly threatened.
The risks are somewhat high.
As for killing Chu Nan, if there was any problem, he could respond in time. Even if Youzhou fell, Yuan Shao would have the confidence to fight back.
"My lord, Chu Nan always puts his life first in his actions, and will always stand in the safest place during battle. Although Lu Bu is the most brave in the world, we can at least see him, but Chu Nan is different. According to
Judging from past combat experience, what this person is best at is not commanding troops, but conspiracies and self-protection. Often, he may not be seen after a battle. Even if our army can defeat the main force of Chu Nan, it may be difficult.
To capture and kill this man, he only needs to retreat to Aocang and defend the river. If Lu Bu takes the opportunity to seize Youzhou at this time, and with the grain and grass provided by the Zhen family, our army will be surrounded by enemies from both sides!" Xu You said solemnly:
"My lord, think twice."
"This..." Yuan Shao had a headache. Both sides made sense. After Chu Nan came to power, they also studied Chu Nan's behavior. Before Chu Nan became famous, he took several risks, but since he became famous,
There were no more risky moves, and the marching style never confronted the enemy head-on, but instead tried every means to trick the enemy from behind.
For example, Yuan Tan's time, his stupid son was tricked twice by Chu Nan and even stabbed. Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt very uncomfortable.
"Lord!" Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "Then Chu Nan attacked Chao Ge for half a month and could not advance an inch. Instead, he lost his own troops and generals. If my lord is worried, you can add more troops to General Cao Ren. In addition, from the direction of Liyang, it is difficult to see Zhang Liao."
Defeated General Xiahou, and was even forced to defend by General Xiahou several times. There was no serious danger in these two places. The only patient was Gao Shun. In my humble opinion, you can ask General Han to lead his army to fight against Gao Shun.
The power of the old general is enough to suppress Gao Shun! Together with the generals of the Cao family, they are enough to resist Chu Nan. After our army surrounds Lu Bu and turns around, even if you run away from Chu Nan, as long as you win this battle, you will
We can suppress the general situation, conquer Xuchang all the way, and welcome the emperor!"
Old General Han is the old spear king of Hebei. Legend has it that his marksmanship is not inferior to that of Tong Yuan, and he is more proficient in the art of war. He has made great achievements in military affairs throughout his life. Hebei has four pillars and one main beam. The main beam is Han Qiong.
People like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan all received guidance from Han Qiong to some extent.
It's just that in the past few years, Han Qiong was old and weak, and he was no longer as brave as he was when he was young. However, this time the power of heaven and earth revived, and there were ideas passed down. Han Qiong's bravery gradually recovered, and now his martial arts are even more advanced. In the opinion of many Hebei generals, if
If Han Qiong is given a few more years, he can even compete with Lu Bu for the reputation of being the most powerful general in the world.
"Old General Han... what do you think?" Yuan Shao heard this and looked at an old man sitting down.
The old man had silver hair, but he was quite energetic. He was dressed in a Confucian robe, but it could not hide his burly figure. Only his brows lacked a bit of the youthful aura, and his eyes were upright and peaceful.
This person is none other than Hebei Gun King Han Qiong.
Han Qiong thought for a while after hearing this, stood up and saluted Yuan Shao and said: "My lord, from the perspective of experienced generals, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in Chu Nan's tent are all good generals. In terms of military strategy alone, although there are many powerful generals in my lord's tent, they are all good generals.
There is almost no one who can win against these two."
Yan Liang and Wen Shanyan raised their eyebrows. If someone else had said this, they would probably have retorted immediately, but it was Han Qiong who spoke, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
"The old general is too modest. The old general is afraid that he will not be able to convince them?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.
"It's not the veteran general who boosts others' ambitions. That Zhang Liao is a wise general. He uses troops and combines the right with the right. He is not limited to the situation. He can sit in charge of the central army and strategize, and he can also take the lead. Looking at the world, I am afraid that no one dares to say that he can defeat this man. Gao
Commander Shun has some shortcomings, but his marching style is like a mountain, and he has the power of eight hundred soldiers. The veteran has seen it in his early years, and there is no infantry in the world that can surpass him. Judging from the several times he has led troops since then, although he is not as good as Zhang Liao
Stunning, but not bad at all. He has Ji Ling beside him to help him lead the army. This Ji Ling is the former general of Highway Gong. He is quite handsome and talented and should not be underestimated. The combination of these two is no worse than Zhang Liao!"
Han Qiong spoke in one breath. Seeing that Yuan Shao's face was gradually showing displeasure, she sighed in her heart and said no more. The lord seemed to be getting more and more irritable and irritable.
"The old general can't win even if he takes action himself?" Yuan Shao frowned.
"My lord, the veteran can guarantee his invincibility, but if he wants to win, neither Zhang Liao nor Gao Shun, the veteran can be absolutely sure!" Han Qiong sighed.
When it comes to commanding troops in battle, it doesn't mean that you get better as you get older. After a certain level of experience, the effect becomes smaller. Sometimes talent is something that cannot be smoothed out by experience. Han Qiong asked himself whether it was necessary to restore himself to his peak state in terms of martial arts.
He was not afraid of anyone. His reputation in his prime was not much worse than that of today's top generals, but when it came to marching and fighting, Han Meng had carefully studied the military tactics of these people, but he did not dare to overestimate him!
"Invincible?" Yuan Shao was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but the only general he could mobilize at the moment was Han Qiong. If he wanted to surround Lu Bu, he would have to concentrate all his top combat forces.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Then General Lao will take command and go out to recapture the plains. You will have 50,000 elite troops. In addition, the generals from each county also have the right to mobilize troops. What does the general think?"
Regardless of whether he goes to Youzhou or not, Gao Shun cannot ignore this journey, otherwise the entire Jizhou may be threatened by Gao Shun.
"General, take your orders!" Han Qiong bowed and said.
What he said before was not cowardice. He was just explaining to Yuan Shao that the enemy was not as weak as he thought, but he would not be cowardly if he had to go out to fight. He had been retiring in Jizhou for so many years, and although he had trained many disciples, Han Meng was also the same now.
The general second only to the Four Court Pillars, but as a military general, who doesn't want to fight on the battlefield and wrap his body in horse leather? Now that the earth has changed, and the observation method has restored his physical fitness and even surpassed the peak, he will also have the thoughts of these young generals today.
.
Although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with his behavior of praising the enemy general, he felt relieved when he saw him agreeing so simply.
All that's left is how to choose.
Should we go to Youzhou to surround and kill Lu Bu? Or should we deal with Chu Nan first?
"My lord, Chu Nan is not easy to kill, but we have already grasped the movements of the Zhen family. By controlling these, we can control Lu Bu's marching route and kill Lu Bu Yi. If Chu Nan is defeated first, Chu Nan will be defeated."
Hold the ferry, and Lu Bu has the support of the Zhen family's food and grass. If our army wants to surround Lu Bu, it will be difficult to find an opportunity!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating, Guo Tu persuaded him softly.
Yuan Shao was startled when he heard this, nodded silently, and seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Just follow Ziyuan's plan and kill Lu Bu first!"
