Chapter 298, He lets him be strong, and he lets him be tyrannical
Although the Huai River in the north of Guangling County is drying up in autumn and winter, the water on the broad river is still sparkling and powerful, rushing eastward.
Hundreds of years later, an ancient battle took place in the Feishui River, a tributary of the Huai River, which changed the fate of Kyushu.
Today, the elites of Yuan Shu's new dynasty and Yanzhou Qilin will also hunt here.
General Zhang Xun reined up his horse on the south bank of the Huai River. Starting at Chen time, he received news from sentinels that Cao's troops on the north bank were preparing to gather to cross the river. Zhang Xun, who was overjoyed, lined up here and waited for Fang Guang to come and kill him.
This man who killed Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou three years ago, is now sitting in front of Yuan Gongdao. He is the most respected general. He is worshiped as a general and is the commander-in-chief of all Chinese and foreign military forces.
Zhang Xun was a cautious man, completely different from the rough and violent Ji Ling.
He carefully studied Fang Datong's experience after defecting to Cao Cao, and came to the conclusion that although the soldiers under his command were several times more powerful than the Han Dynasty's Great Sinong and General Zhengdong, they might not be able to win in a fierce battle in the wild.
The two armies were in a stalemate. Zhang Xun really didn't believe how much food and grass the original Fang Guang had!
The military strategy of delaying change was a strategy that Zhang Xun came up with after spending countless nights. It has to be said that the judgment of this general who is above the history books and Sun Ce's fanboy was very appropriate.
After waiting for the report from the patrol patrol, when Fang Datong lined up in Hebei, Zhang Xun was overjoyed. Amid laughter, he summoned Ji Ling and Qiao Rui to discuss matters, and made a plan to defeat the enemy by attacking Cao Jun halfway across the river.
.
Since you have come to relax and wait for work, this plan is a perfect strategy to deal with the enemy crossing the river.
In Zhang Xun's view, although Fang Guang was very wise, he had no choice but to take risks and take the initiative due to lack of food.
After all, a boy is a boy, and Jiang is still old. As a forty-year-old general, he is not a loser who can be defeated by deception or sneak attacks.
Unknowingly, the two armies of Cao and Yuan were locked in a stalemate on the Huai River. They formed their formations from Chen hour to noon hour.
Above the Huaihe River, the river wind blew by, causing most of the Yuan Jun soldiers waiting in formation to shiver with chills.
Cao Jun in Hebei didn't know why, but for three hours, except for rows of strange-shaped boats, the queue was still sparse.
Next to Zhang Xun, there was a handsome middle-aged man, whose facial features resembled those of Xiao Qiao. He looked at the Hebei military formation with a complicated expression on his face.
His own daughter is already the woman of the yellow-turbaned captain opposite. How could he, the old father-in-law, not know this?
At that time, he deceived Comrade Shouchun about a romantic affair, but he could not hide his own conscience. Speaking of it, this son-in-law seemed to have never been defeated. Today, he is so confident that the first defeat will be in his own hands.
It's enough to retreat. In the chaos of the army, there are no swords and guns. If Fang Guang is killed, or if key parts are missing, what face will he have to face two daughters who have lacked father's love since childhood?
Qiao Rui, who has always been bold and resolute, was distracted for the first time in his life before a battle. He didn't even hear a few questions from the general.
"General Qiao, General Qiao, I've heard for a long time that Fang Guang, the little thief, is as smart as a fox. The delay in setting up the formation today is probably a strategy to exhaust the troops?"
"General Bridge?"
Zhang Xun asked questions continuously, but Qiao Rui turned a deaf ear to it. His face was full of worry about gain and loss. However, he was pushed back by the general beside him, and the young father-in-law finally came to his senses.
"General, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about things at home, and I lost my mind in front of the general!"
"Of course there is a plan to tire out the troops. The military spirit will rise at one time, weaken at another time, and be exhausted at the third time. But as long as Fang Datong wants to cross the river, today's general situation will be in the hands of our army!"
"He has exhausted the strength of my army. Aren't the boats he put down on the shore also exhausted? Now I have the advantage. As long as I stick to the strategy of attacking halfway across the river, no matter how evil Fang Guang is, it will be useless in the end!"
Although Qiao Rui did not have a prominent position among the generals under Yuan Shu due to his family background, he actually commanded the army strictly, was low-key, and was highly trusted by his colleagues.
He said a few words, and Zhang Xun, who was a little wary at first, thought it made sense, and the expression on his face instantly softened.
"Okay, what you want coincides with mine. Today I want to see what kind of tricks this Fang Datong can pull off!"
Ji Ling was also beside Zhang Xun. Hearing that the general admired Qiao Rui, he also thought that he could not be looked down upon by Zhang Xun.
He was a rough man, and it took him a long time to collect ink in his belly before he remembered a few sentences from Shouchun's books sold by Yanzhou Printing House. He quickly spoke.
"That's it, let him be strong when he is strong, let him be strong when the breeze blows on the hills, and let him be horizontal when he is strong, just like the autumn wind sweeps across the river!"
"Well, these words, these words have flavor. I didn't expect that General Ji also has the heart of a scholar, haha, haha!"
The wind from the Huaihe River swept by, and Zhang Xun only felt that today was a must-win situation. With the flying dragon riding on his face, it was difficult to lose. He was full of ambition and pride, and laughed wildly in the army formation.
Just when the general was laughing wildly, the wind and rain suddenly changed, and suddenly the river wind blew up. It turned out to be a northwest wind that is rare in this season.
Cao's army on the north bank, which was originally a loose formation, had already become more organized in less than half a moment. The rows of boats were divided into long boats and large flat boats, flying towards the south bank of the Huaihe River following the river wind.
"Well done, I'll leave you five hundred steps on the riverbank, where you will die!"
"Ji Ling listens to the order and soon hears the sound of war drums. You should lead the elite cavalry and attack the enemy's formation from three sides!"
"Got the order!"
"Qiao Rui leads the infantry and follows him, but for the yellow scarf boy, it seems that I have been looking down upon him!"
"promise!"
Ji Ling and Qiao Rui received the order and flew back to the headquarters formation. The father-in-law looked north, and a trace of worry could not help but flash in his eyes.
He concluded that Cao's army would be defeated today, and he hoped that the foolish son-in-law would be smarter and not die here, which would be the best outcome.
The river wind picked up, and the waves of the Huaihe River gradually became ferocious.
On the hills of Hebei, a young man stared at the land of Henan. He stretched out one hand, feeling the strong autumn wind, and a sneer flashed across his lips.
If he hadn't studied geography in high school, he wouldn't have understood how the Jianghuai Plain is affected by strong winds in autumn and winter.
As Xiaohan approaches, there will be a west wind, and today, it has come true here.
Ordinary geographical knowledge was taken for granted in Fang Guang's mind, but to Pang Tong on the side, it was extraordinary and reflected the harmony between heaven and earth.
In fact, Wolong and Fengchu have different cultural backgrounds. Pang Shiyuan has been engaged in idealism all his life, and now he has responded to the sudden change in the direction of the wind. God favors Fang Guang.
Feng Chu didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face, which could not be described as handsome, suddenly twitched violently. His heart instantly burned like a ball of flame, as if there really was a flaming phoenix that had penetrated into Pang Tong's heart at this moment.
