Xu Tu and others shouted in their hearts that something was wrong.
The person who spoke was naturally Han Xian. He had always been very calm and had such an attitude before. Now that he was speaking, if Xu Shu couldn't explain why, don't expect him to nod.
But how could Xu Shu tell the complete plan?
After the candid conversation in the valley, Xu Shu's thinking has become known to everyone. In short, Xu Shu intends to find out the situation first and then adapt accordingly.
This is his style. For the Qingzhou Army, Xu Shu's plan is not a problem. As long as there is a good reason, it is worth trying. But for Bai Bo, who has never heard of Xu Shu's reputation and only regards him as a general.
Say, things are not that simple anymore.
Regardless of how excited these people were just now, it was because the way Xu Shu appeared was too similar to that of his lord back then, and Bai Bo's current situation was too difficult. He suddenly escaped from death and was a little forgetful. When this excitement passed, he
After knowing the truth, their mood may be even lower than before.
Han Xian had been staring closely at Xu Shu and the others, and he keenly caught the nervousness in the expressions of Xu Tu and others, so his eyes became even sharper.
In a sense, Han Xian is a pessimist. None of the decisions he makes are risky.
Being instigated by Wang Yu to transport the castle was the most risky decision in his life. And that time was also a special situation. On the one hand, Bai Bo was in a really bad situation at the time. If he didn't find a proper place to settle, he would just end up with nothing.
It became increasingly embarrassed and perished in constant internal strife.
More importantly, with the numerical advantage of the Baibo army, they could easily suppress the Han army and the Wei family's private soldiers in Hedong. As long as they did not forcefully attack the city during the siege, the risk of failure was mainly concentrated on the losses of the march.
It was such a small risk that he was so angry.
But now, Wang Yu himself has not come. The number of reinforcements must be quite limited. According to the sergeant guarding the city gate, the leader Xu Shu seems to be very good at human sea tactics, assassinations, and surprise attacks.
After Wang Yu assassinated Dong, all the princes in the world strengthened their protection. Guo Tai, Li Jue and others were all in the army. Let alone Xu Shu, even if Wang Yu took action personally, he might not be able to win anything.
one.
Bai Bo's soldiers and horses were surrounded in the narrow strip from Yishi City to Anyi. Guo Tai and Li Jue were also familiar with the terrain east of Hedong. The possibility of a surprise attack and setting up an ambush was also quite low.
In this case, the only countermeasure Xu Shu could adopt was the human sea tactic.
Even if this person is far superior to Guo Tai and Li Jue in terms of command and dispatch, after a big battle, even if they barely manage to break through, the Baibo Army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. If the breakout fails... Han Xian's eyes are even colder, and he has forged a deadly feud.
In the end, I'm afraid even surrender may not be possible!
Han Xian believed that Wang Yu sent Xu Shu here, most likely because he underestimated the criticality of the situation. But when Xu Shu arrived, he found that there was nothing he could do, but because he was young and energetic, he was ready to use Bai Bojun's life to gain his own reputation!
Xu Shu replied calmly: "There is a saying in the art of war: Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. When I first arrived in Anyi, I didn't know the enemy's situation. My understanding of your army's situation was also limited. If I claim to be completely sure now,
.Wouldn’t it be suspected of deceiving the public with big words? What’s more, the Lord’s intention is not for Bai Bo to fight head-on with the superior enemy, but..."
His answer was impeccable, but the disappointment of General Bai Bo became more intense.
At present, 85% of the 100% of the Baibo Army are dead, and the most reasonable outcome they face is the complete destruction of the entire army. The difficulty of escaping is not much less than defeating the enemy. Either surrender or die, that's all. A satisfactory approach is impossible.
Breaking the situation.
Han Xian had a straight face and said coldly: "What's the military situation? Although I don't know everything about the situation of the two enemy armies, I generally have an idea. As for the situation in the army, if General Xu has any questions, please feel free to inquire.
That is to say, a certain person should know everything he knows and say everything he knows."
As he spoke, he quickly said without waiting for Xu Shu's answer: "Our army currently has 48,000 fighting men, of which only 12,000 have weapons, only more than 3,000 have armor, and the rest are all
They were young men who had not experienced many battles and had only joined the battle before the war. The old, weak, women and children plus the wounded soldiers totaled about three hundred thousand..."
"There is a large amount of food and grass in stock. Based on the current consumption, it should be able to last for two to three months. If the war intensifies or Boss Guo launches a full-scale attack, food consumption will further increase."
"At present, our army's troops are relatively concentrated. If Wen Xi is still there, with about five days of free time, someone will be sure to move the troops to the Dongshan area. The problem is that although the three troops of the Xiliang Army have suspended their offensive,
But the main force is within a hundred miles. If there is any movement here, the cavalry will arrive at dawn and dusk. Even if there are elite troops, they will not be able to stop them for three days."
Han Xian's attitude was not good, not because there was anything wrong with his position, he just lacked confidence.
He did not forcefully argue or speak harshly, but after frankly telling all the situation of the Baibo Army, he sighed and asked: "In such a short period of time, we have to move and attack Wenxi again. How can such a thing happen?"
Is it possible to do it? Even if we can do it, how can we resist the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry?"
After saying these words, even Li Le felt a little stunned. The four generals have always been led by Han Siam, which is not unreasonable. Han Siam is far inferior to Li Le in killing the enemy on the battlefield. He is also not as good as Yang Feng in strategizing, but he has the ability to organize and dispatch.
, the other three generals combined cannot compare to him.
Being able to bring 300,000 people to Dongshan within five days is already a terrible efficiency, but even so, escape is still out of reach. Han Xian's words do not involve the issue of position, and Li Le cannot refute it even if he wants to.
"I have an idea about getting out of trouble, and I'm going to discuss it with you." Xu Shu looked confident.
As early as when the team was still struggling on the mountain road, he was already thinking about how to bring hundreds of thousands of people from Hedong to Wei County. It was definitely not possible to take the mountain road, but apart from the mountain road, there was no major road to go on, but there was no such thing as land.
There is a road in the water!
"A few days ago, I went to explore the Dongyuan area. Although this area is under the jurisdiction of the Xiliang Army, the Xiliang Army has not stationed troops here. There are only a thousand county soldiers in the city to defend against thieves and maintain public order. If the army goes south along the Qingshui River, the soldiers in the city will
You will not dare to leave the city to intercept. You can go straight to the north bank of the river."
"This plan... is indeed feasible." Han Xian nodded and agreed with Xu Shu's statement. Whenever a large group of people marches, as long as they can travel along the river, they can save a lot of energy.
Qinglian Mountain, the source of Qingshui, is not far from Dongshan Mountain. Although there are mountains in between, it is not impossible to go. When Xu Shu first came to Hedong, he explored the terrain clearly, at least he worked hard.
"What happens after we get to Dahe?" Yang Feng asked nervously.
The Yellow River has been a natural hazard since ancient times. Especially in the Hedong period, the place where the river flows is surrounded by mountains. It is impossible to travel along the river unless there are ships to transport it. However, it is so huge that it can transport 300,000 people.
A fleet of ships? It’s really hard to imagine.
"On the one hand, we need to find a ship, and at the same time, in order to confuse the Xiliang army, we also need to make a gesture of crossing the river south and going to Hangu Pass to join Lu Bu." Xu Shu didn't need a map, and just pointed and talked out of thin air.
The mountains and rivers are exactly the same.
"Ships? Where are the ships?" Hu Cai only knew of one place with a large number of ships, and that was Shaanjin, the important stronghold of the Xiliang Army. The main force of the Xiliang Army heading north crossed the river there.
However, there are still not enough boats for 300,000 people to go down the river, and the Baibo army is not that strong to seize the boats from the Xiliang army. If there were, why would they run away?
Xu Shu pointed eastward and replied casually: "There are boats in the river."
"Hanoi?" Everyone was confused.
"On that day, the heroes attacked Dong. Yuan Shao expelled the prince and led his troops to Hanoi. Han Fu of Jizhou also sent troops to assist in the battle. He sent the governor to Zhao Fu, and Cheng Huan led hundreds of warships and more than 10,000 naval troops stationed in Heyang. Later Yuan Shao
Both Cheng and Zhao strongly opposed the theft of Jizhou, and although it did not affect the overall situation in the end, they were killed by Chunyu Qiong and Zhang Yang successively."
Xu Shu smiled and told an allusion.
"Cheng Huan returned to Jizhou and died in Qinghe, while Zhao Fu plotted against Zhang Yang in Hanoi. After his death, most of his navy was disbanded, but the warships remained in Hanoi. According to reliable information, those
The ship is now anchored in Mengjin! When I set out, I brought thousands of Hanoi soldiers with me, and more than a thousand of them have already surrendered to the lord. At that time, we will cooperate internally and externally to capture the Mengjin ferry!"
"Oh!" This time, everyone's reaction was much more enthusiastic. Only Han Xian still had doubts: "Even so, the transportation capacity is still insufficient, right?"
"It doesn't matter." Xu Shu waved his hand and explained patiently: "Xu's plan is to transport the people in batches. General Han can consider this when arranging the march, and have people arrive in batches, and then leave when the ship is full. Put the people behind Mengjin,
Let’s go back and forth again.”
"How could Zhang Yang just sit back and watch?"
Xu Shu smiled contemptuously and said with domineering attitude: "What can he do if he doesn't just sit back and watch? I have tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingzhou, how can I be a vegetarian? If he had known about it in advance, he might have burned the ships. When our army captured Mengjin,
I made it clear that if he dares to attack the city by force, my Qingzhou cavalry will directly break through his lair in Huai County, and settle old and new scores together!"
"This plan... is indeed feasible!"
Whether he was shocked by Xu Shu's domineering attitude or persuaded, in short, the objections disappeared. Even Han Xian had nothing to say, and the other three looked at each other with shining eyes.
The whole plan seems simple, but the factors taken into consideration are very comprehensive, and the advance arrangement in Hanoi shows that this return route was not planned by Xu Shu on a whim, but by Wang Yu who had already conceived it and made it reliable.
Naturally increased.
Of course, there are flaws in the plan, or it should be said that the prerequisites for this plan are wrong.
Han Xian asked blankly: "The plan does make sense, but what should we do if Wenxi? What should Mrs. Guo do? What should we do with the Xiliang army? If we don't deal with them, we can't even move, so how can we talk about the big river?"
"It's very simple. If Guo Tai dares to stop him, just defeat him!" Xu Shu said with confidence: "The Xiliang army has nothing to worry about. If arranged properly, maybe they will become our help."
Infected by Xu Shu's confidence, Li Le was the first to stand up and express his support.
He picked up a steel knife from the ground, waved his hand, chopped the commander's case into two pieces, and shouted: "The little Celestial Master has made so many preparations for us. If anyone ignores his old man's good intentions, wouldn't that be a wolf-hearted thing? Today
I’ll leave it here, unless General Xu says it can’t be done, otherwise, whoever brings up the idea of surrender must first ask me, Li Le, about the sword in my hand!”
"Yes, that's what Lezi said!" Hu Cai and Li Le have always been inseparable.
"I also think we should give it a try." Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng also expressed his position.
Han Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am willing to surrender again, but I am forced by the situation... That's all. Since General Xu has the wisdom in his hands, I can just let the general drive me."
The opinions were unified at this point, but before everyone could show their joy, Han Xian changed the subject and said: "But the ugly thing is ahead. If someone discovers in the future that General Xu, in order to succeed, did not care about the lives of our Bai Bo soldiers, he tried to use the soldiers to kill them."
Your blood has made you a famous general. Even if everyone betrays you and your reputation is ruined, Han will never give up and will seek justice from you!"
What he said was a crime that had not yet happened, but he said it in a fierce voice. General Bai Bo knew his painstaking efforts and was worried that Xu Shu would not be able to bear it and would get angry. For a moment, they were all worried and embarrassed.
Xu Shu did not get angry. On the contrary, he raised his fist to Han Xian and solemnly promised: "Heaven and man will learn from this. If Shu is really sad about this, heaven and man will punish him together!" (To be continued...
