Baima Yicong's strategy is to gain strength when encountering weakness, and their performance on the frontal battlefield is average. If they encounter an enemy that cannot be defeated, they can only run away.
To charge hard is to fight for consumption. Not to mention that the Yellow Turbans have more than 300,000 people. Even if it shrinks ten times, Baima Yicong can't afford it. Even counting the infantry, how many people are there in the Youzhou Army?
The Yellow Turban Warriors are fanatical believers. They are famous for being unable to be beaten to death. They can still flutter a few times even if their vital organs are injured. If the injuries are not to their vital organs, they will act as if nothing is wrong.
Facing this kind of enemy, Tian Kai's strategy of defeating them one by one was obviously ineffective. The reason why he dared to say that he defeated them one by one was just relying on the characteristics of Baima Yicong's ability to gather and disperse freely and carry out various surprise attacks.
If you encounter a situation like Guan Hai's, you will naturally be unfavorable. Once you fail to make a surprise attack and fall into the superior enemy's formation, you will not be able to escape. The two armies only have a total of 3,000 cavalry. How many mistakes can they withstand?
"Someone's idea is to let them gather and then release them..."
"Put it into the territory of Mount Tai?" Lure the enemy deep into the territory, wait until the enemy's food and grass are cut off, and then they can counterattack. Tian Kai has also thought of this method, but he is a guest army, so of course he cannot make such suggestions casually.
"Yeah." Wang Yu nodded.
"Does the prince want to attack Laiwu? However, if there are really experts in the enemy army to give guidance, they will definitely not waste time under Laiwu City. General Yu has such a good reputation that even thieves must have heard about it."
"So, let them in."
Wang Yu smiled slightly, compared on the map, and said: "Laiwu is the gate. When they come in, they will close the door and beat the dog. Originally, I was worried that Wen Ze's men were insufficient and the gate was not tight. Now we have Brother French."
, it would be much easier to handle.”
"..." Tian Kai didn't make a sound for a while. After a while, he raised his head, his face full of shock, "Junhou, do you want to use four thousand soldiers to deal with the main force of 300,000 Yellow Turbans?"
Wang Yu replied seriously: "Not all the main forces, besieging the city and guarding the back roads, can't use all the old and weak, right? What's more, there are many powerful people in Mount Tai."
"But..." Tian Kai has a big head.
It’s true that Taishan County has a lot of powerful people, but they won’t fight head-on with the Yellow Turbans. There are too many Yellow Turbans, who dares to challenge them? If Wang Yu had been operating in Taishan for ten and a half years, he might be able to win over some of his best friends.
But now, he has only returned to Mount Tai for two or three months. Apart from the Wang family and the Hu family, who are related to him, who will fight for him?
"Could it be following the old wisdom of the ancients who pitted their superior horses against their inferior horses?" Tian Kai had a guess.
The main target of the Yellow Turbans is Wang Yu, who is likely to leave the old, weak, women and children in the left-behind troops. With the addition of the Youzhou Army on the Taishan side, the Laiwu direction has become a stronger route. Both sides have divided their forces. Who can
Defeat the opponent in front of you first to gain the overall advantage.
"otherwise."
Wang Yu denied Tian Kai's guess: "The troops left behind may not be as strong as the forward, but after Guan Hai returns, they should learn from the tragic defeat in Duchang and take defensive measures to avoid being raided by cavalry again. As long as the front is smooth, they will
The fighting spirit will not be low. If you insist on fighting, you will only get a miserable victory at most, and you may even suffer losses."
Wang Yu said proudly: "What I want is a complete victory, and I also want to preserve the vitality of Qingzhou. Therefore, Brother Fa Shi only needs to cooperate with Wen Ze to block the Yellow Turbans' retreat. After I defeat the main force of the Yellow Turbans, don't let the Yellow Turbans escape again."
Return to Qingzhou. This matter is very important, please help me, Brother Fa Shi."
"The king has his destiny, so Kai naturally dare not refuse, but..."
Tian Kai finally understood that Wang Yu was serious about this. He wanted to use the four thousand soldiers in his hand to try to defeat the main force of the Yellow Turbans, then surround the Yellow Turbans near Laiwu, and then appease them.
There is no problem with the strategic concept, and the considerations are very thorough. Once successful, Qingzhou will be peaceful, and he will be worthy of his title as governor.
There is only one question, how could he use four thousand soldiers to defeat hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans?
According to the current momentum, when the Yellow Turbans invade Mount Tai, I am afraid that there will not be more than 500,000 people. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, there will be at least 100,000 soldiers to fight. Well, if the enemy is expected to be lenient, I am afraid that there will be no young and strong soldiers.
Two to three hundred thousand!
Is it true that everyone in the Taishan Army can defeat one against a hundred?
Wang Yu saw Tian Kai's doubts. He spread his hands and said: "I know that you are very confused, Brother French. However, I can't explain to you how to fight specifically. I will have to wait until then to make a detailed analysis based on the actual situation...
…”
I haven’t thought about it yet, I’ll call it first and then talk about it...
Tian Kai suddenly felt like he was on the wrong pirate ship. No wonder every time someone asked the lord about the battle of Hulao Pass, the lord's expression was so weird. Fighting side by side with this champion, without a little bit of Qi-nurturing Kung Fu, he was really useless.
no.
You may not die in a battle, and you may be able to win if you are confused, but if you are not brave enough, you may be scared to death before engaging in battle.
Looking at Tian Kai's changing face, Jia Xu felt very sympathetic. He was very considerate of the other person's feelings. Outsiders like Tian Kai were only frightened once in a while, but he himself was frightened every time. From the moment they met, he was always frightened.
By now...actually, I've gotten used to it no matter how scared I am.
He coughed lightly and was about to step forward to comfort him when he heard another set of footsteps outside the door: "Report... Lord, envoys from Xuzhou have arrived!"
"It's finally here!" Wang Yu blurted out, and this news made him feel greatly relieved.
Although the Yellow Turbans were powerful, they were attacking from the front after all. When I was in Luoyang, I had already been thinking about how to deal with them. After preparing for so long in advance, I could always find a way to deal with them.
As for the threat from Yanzhou, it is very difficult, but it is not unthinkable. As long as it is not unexpectedly attacked by someone without preparation, it is not a big deal.
Fenggao's geographical location is very good, with Mount Tai in the northwest and mountains in the southeast. To attack here, you can only attack from the northeast and southwest. If you make some arrangements in advance, you should be able to avoid any obstacles.
What worries him the most is Xuzhou.
Based on his relationship with Tao Qian, they should have been a very solid alliance. However, during the second meeting of the alliance, the Xuzhou envoy Chen Gui was not enthusiastic. At that time, Wang Yu suspected that there might be a problem within the Xuzhou decision-making team.
Tao Qian was the shepherd of Xuzhou, but the rule in the late Han Dynasty was that local officials and powerful families governed together. Tao Qian could give away the Danyang soldiers he raised with his own money as he wished, but the overall decision-making in Xuzhou might not go so smoothly.
If the opposition from the noble family was too strong, Tao Qian would not be able to have his own way.
Wang Yu was not very familiar with Chen Gui and his son, but he felt that the father and son were very similar to the Kuai family in Jingzhou. They only valued their own three-acre land and had no interest in places other than Jingzhou and Xuzhou.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Kuai and Cai families that Jingzhou rarely expands, and even Nanyang, which belongs to the state, is not taken seriously. Xuzhou is similar. The Chen family does not have the power of the Kuai family and cannot completely control the successive states.
Animal husbandry, so they use more strategies.
The hidden dangers in Xuzhou made Wang Yu feel like he had a thorn in his back. Taking advantage of the convenient location, Xuzhou had too many ways to cause trouble for him.
You must know that the Chen family and his son are no less conspirators than Yuan Shao! The frontal pressure is already strong enough, and Yanzhou is also showing signs of instability. If these two people are secretly watching, the battle will be completely unwinnable.
Fortunately, Xuzhou finally took action.
The Xuzhou envoy was a rather elegant-looking middle-aged man. Although he only came in to salute, his grace was evident, and he obviously came from a wealthy family.
As soon as the man spoke, Wang Yu heard a familiar name, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Don't drive in Xuzhou to work in Mi Zhu, see the king..."
Mi Zhu, one of the most famous officials in Xuzhou.
Unlike Chen Deng and his son, the Mi family is a businessman with little political status. Although they are rich and powerful, they are incomparable to a real aristocratic family.
Wang Yu once asked Tao Qian about this person, and Tao Qian said frankly that he conquered Mi Zhu, on the one hand, to balance the power in the state, and on the other hand, purely for money and food.
Since it was him who came, what Tao Qian wanted to release was undoubtedly goodwill.
"Taishan and Xuzhou are allies of each other. When the princes send troops to Qingzhou, Xuzhou should do their best to help each other. However, accidents happen frequently in the territory, and Tao Shijun has no time to spare. Today, Zhu is here specially to pay a visit to the princes, but he can't make up for it.
It was a pity to receive the wind, and secondly, I also sent 100,000 dendrobium of corn, which was my humble effort."
The meaning expressed by Mi Zhu is similar to that of Tian Kai, but the style and style of the two sides are quite different.
They were all matters within the country. Tian Kai frankly talked about the dispute with Liu Yu, but Mi Zhu just brushed it off and had no intention of explaining it in detail. Youzhou sent reinforcements, and Xuzhou sent food.
Youzhou expresses the intention to fight side by side and share weal and woe; Xuzhou seems to do its best and then have nothing to do with each other.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. After Mi Zhu finished speaking calmly, Wang Yu greeted him enthusiastically: "Yu has admired Mr. Zizhong's name for a long time. He originally thought that he would have to wait until the incident in Qingzhou and go to Xuzhou to pay a visit to see him.
I didn’t expect to see Zunyan today, how lucky is it?”
"Your Majesty...do you know Zhu's name?" Mi Zhu was caught off guard by Wang Yu. He had some reputation in Xuzhou, but it was only in the business circle. Outside of Xuzhou, I am afraid that only some traveling merchants knew about him. Who would have thought that Wang Yu
Yu actually had such a passionate attitude.
Who is Wang Yu? The world-famous champion!
Mi Zhu was flattered, but also filled with doubts. There were many explanations behind why he came to Mount Tai this time. If Wang Yu wanted to show favor to Xuzhou by wooing him, that would be a huge mistake.
"I've heard about it for a long time."
"Zhu is in Xuzhou, a small man with little power. Although he admires the majesty of the monarch, but..." Mi Zhu did not dare to neglect, and quickly gave a hint, lest Wang Yu found out that he was incapable of doing things and became angry. Although the Mi family has some family fortune, what's the point?
Do you deserve the anger of this monarch?
Wang Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "I have nothing to do with Xuzhou. Yu has something to discuss with Mr. Zizhong. Well, it should be considered a private matter..."
"Private matter?" Mi Zhu seemed to understand a little bit, this matter can be discussed...
"Well, it's a long story. Let's talk about it later. Sir, does Mr. Tao have anything to say when he comes this time?" Wang Yu didn't say much. He passed this section lightly and asked about business matters.
"Tao Shijun has something to say," Mi Zhu calmed down and repeated in a deep voice: "Xuzhou has a small army and few generals, and cannot bear a battle. In addition, the roads in the territory are not peaceful. It is really impossible to send reinforcements. If we reluctantly send them, I am afraid that they will only be held back.
, Therefore, it is better to maintain the status quo. Please remember the old friendship and not think about Xuzhou. If you show your power again and put down the chaos in Qingzhou in one fell swoop, it will be a great blessing for the country."
After saying that, Mi Zhu looked into Wang Yu's eyes and asked, "Do you understand, Lord?"
"Tao Gong has good intentions, and everyone knows it."
Mi Zhu had an expression of relief on her face.
Tao Qian's words were a bit cryptic. He didn't mean to talk in circles, but he just didn't want to expose the inside of Xuzhou. It's okay for Wang Yu to laugh. The problem is that if the news leaks out, there will be more trouble inside Xuzhou. Mi Zhu
He can also get into trouble. Therefore, it is best for Wang Yu to understand on his own.
With this burden relieved, Mi Zhu's attitude became much more relaxed. He was about to ask Wang Yu what the private matter was when he heard another set of footsteps outside.
The difference from the previous two times was that this time the footsteps were much faster and heavier.
"Report...my lord, General Taishi is back."
"Ziyi is back? Let him in quickly!" Wang Yu was stunned. Except for Mi Zhu, Tian Kai and others were all shocked.
Before Taishi Ci came in, Mi Zhu asked hesitantly: "Here...is he the Donglai Taishici who raided Duchang and captured Guan Hai alive?"
"Exactly."
After receiving a positive answer, Mi Zhu was also shocked. Tai Shici was the commander of an army, and he suddenly rushed back at this time. Could it be...
"Lord!"
In surprise, the door was suddenly pushed open, carrying a gust of icy wind, Taishi Ci burst in covered in dust and blood: "The yellow scarf thieves used magic to curse Lord Jiao to death, and then launched a fierce attack with their troops. Two days ago,
After conquering the city of Linzi, we now have great prestige and gathered nearly a million people. On the day of the city’s destruction, we vowed to march westward, and our troops were directed towards Laiwu!”
"What?"
The strong wind roared in along the open door. Even Taishi Ci's majestic figure could not stop its violent momentum at all. It blew the door panel back and forth and hit the wall and door frame, making an disturbing bang.
There was a banging sound, but no one paid attention to it.
Everyone was stunned.
After months of accumulation, no, it should be said that it was decades of turmoil, the situation in Qingzhou finally surged into full swing, with a force that no one had expected...
The strong wind finally rises, roaring like a tiger!
Can Mount Tai remain as strong as before? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
