Three days after withdrawing from Chuilong City, Wang Yu led his army to Suanzao, where he met Yu Jin and Lu Bu, and immediately held a military meeting to make arrangements for the subsequent strategic deployment.
"I will lead the Wind and Fire Cavalry to the north for reinforcements. The troops left behind will still maintain their original status and build defense lines along Ji River and Pu Er River. The troops left behind should focus on preserving their strength and rely on the terrain and fortresses to delay the enemy's attack. There is no need to fight to the death.
.If it is absolutely necessary, our troops will be fully reduced to Dongjun, and Wenhe will judge at his discretion whether it is necessary to mobilize militia to assist in the war..."
According to Wang Yu's arrangement, the coalition forces will have to retreat nearly a hundred miles based on the current front line. If they retreat all the way to Dongjun, it will be nearly three hundred miles. This concession is not a big one. Although the Qingzhou generals obeyed the order with awe.
, but he felt a little depressed in his heart, and Lu Bu wrote the word "unhappy" directly on his face.
Lu Su had been on several missions and had quite a good understanding of Lu Bu's character. He knew that the other party might attack at any time, so when he saw Wang Yu finishing his instructions, he quickly changed the subject and said: "My lord only led the cavalry to the north. The march is really fast.
But will the strength be a little less? The Xiliang army has many cavalry. If Yuan Zhi really suffers a setback, or the alienation fails, then..."
To suddenly revise the overall strategy seems to have a beginning but no end, not to mention that the reason is quite insufficient.
Lu Su had no intention of questioning Wang Yu's decision, but he felt that the situation of fighting on all sides and stalemate on all sides was undoubtedly quite unfavorable. If enough power could not be mobilized to achieve the goal of defeating the Xiliang Army in the shortest possible time, then
It becomes a fueling tactic.
"Cao Cao and Sun Ce are both people who should not be underestimated. It is almost the limit to mobilize such power. If there is more, Yanzhou will be in danger. In short, I have already made up my mind on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it further!" Wang Yu
I don’t want to explain too much. The more murky and unclear the situation is, the more courageous a ruler should be to make his own decisions.
Of course, fighting requires stability, but most of the time, you still have to take risks. If you think too much and worry too much, you will only lose a few advantages. On the other hand, if there is a big change in Bingzhou, whether you can get reinforcements in time, the consequences will be extraordinary.
.
At this time, Wang Yu would rather give up some advantages in exchange for peace of mind.
Wang Yu is usually quite easy-going, but with his record of winning every battle, he can still win the heartfelt conviction of his subordinates at critical moments. Now that he said this, others had no objections and began to discuss the details of staying behind.
Matters come.
After the cavalry went north, the main army still had about 50,000 infantry, plus Lu Bu's army. Wei Yan's Yinwu army totaled 800 people. They were not gathered together, but were distributed across a vast front. After discovering the fighter planes,
The gathering for combat has just begun, and it is not included in the overall combat strength.
Among the generals, Lu Qiling, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others are all cavalry officers, and they must accompany them. The only generals left behind can only be Jia Xu and Yu Jin, both civil and military. However, the two fronts in Yanzhou stretch for hundreds of miles.
A general cannot be commanded, and another general must be sent out of town.
Here, Wang Yu was slightly in trouble.
According to everyone's opinion, it is most suitable to transfer Zhang Liao over. Yu Jin is good at guarding and Zhang Liao is good at attacking. The two of them echo each other in east and west, which can be regarded as a very tacit combination. However, Wang Yu still wants to keep Zhang Liao on the eastern front.
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong's 20,000 troops had already been divided. Huang Zhong led the army to attack Juye and annihilated Xiahou Yuan's remaining troops. Zhang Liao led his army south to deal with Sun Ce together with Lu Bu. But after switching from offense to defense, this move
Something is out of place.
Wang Yu instructed the two generals to join forces as soon as possible, and if there is a chance, take Juye City as soon as possible. If not, there is no need to take risks, retreat as soon as possible, stabilize Dongping and Lu's front, and do not give the enemy a chance to break into the hinterland of Qingzhou.
Huang Zhong's military style is relatively stable, which is very similar to Yu Jin's. Let him defend, and he will restrain his desire to attack. After changing the strategy, the situation on the Yanzhou battlefield will become extremely complicated, and fighters and traps will often appear at the same time.
With Huang Zhong's stability, he will definitely not take risks easily.
In that case, the 20,000 soldiers and horses on the eastern front would become dead soldiers and would not be able to contain them. Therefore, Wang Yu still wanted to keep Zhang Liao on the eastern front and at the same time promote the two battlefields in Xuzhou and Yanzhou.
In the end, Li Bin was transferred back from the Eastern Front.
Li Bin is good at martial arts and courageous, but as a general guarding a party, he still lacks experience and qualifications.
In fact, in Wang Yu's mind, the most preferred candidate is Taishi Ci. This guy is brave and resourceful, and has high prestige in the army. He is the most suitable to take over this task. However, Taishi Ci himself shirks his excuses, saying that he only likes to attack.
, doesn't like defense. If he is left to guard for a little longer, there will definitely be big problems. It is better to follow the lord's side and kill the Xiliang people's spirit.
Wang Yu thought about it. If Tai Shici was allowed to leave the town, he would definitely take risks if it took a little longer. Sun Ce had already led his troops to Yanzhou. If these two people were to confront each other, who could guarantee that history would not repeat itself?
?
After thinking about it, Wang Yu's eyes finally fell on Guan Ping.
"I'm afraid the last general will not be able to take on this important task." Guan Ping expressed fear. He is not a person who has no responsibility, but there are some things that he cannot do if he has the confidence and courage.
Guan Ping's rejection surprised Wang Yu, but he quickly figured out the key: "Frankly speaking, are you worried about Liu Xuande and don't dare to fight against him?"
"The general doesn't dare." Guan Ping replied calmly: "Although the general is stupid, he is not a man who is always around. The relationship with General Liu was broken by the Sishui River. How can he never forget it? It's just that the general will never forget it."
Although I think so, I am afraid of what people say. If someone uses it to make a fuss, it will be a small matter for the general to be ruined. If it messes up the morale of the army and ruins the lord's important affairs, then the general will die."
The Intelligence Department obtained Liu Bei's information a little earlier than the Shouchun Incident. It turned out that since his defeat in Xuzhou, Liu Bei had been relying on Yuan Shu's cover to hide in the Huainan area, doing shady and private things for Yuan Shu. For example, using various methods to protect Yuan Shu.
Use various methods to win over local powerful people through coercion and inducement, and spy on intelligence and so on.
After all, Liu Bei is a talented person. Although there are no talents left except for the old guy Jian Yong, he still performs very well with his own strength. Because of his superb methods, the people he is winning over are not dead-set.
, even though he silenced him, the Qingzhou Intelligence Department couldn’t catch him.
In the battle between the three families, Liu Bei secretly did a lot of work when Yuan Shu attacked Jiangxia. Perhaps he colluded with Jiangdong at that time, and finally cooperated with Zhou Yu in Shouchun to capture Yuan Shu in one fell swoop.
Liu Bei came back, and he has been doing this kind of thing again in the past two years. Guan Ping can't help but think about it. He will definitely not betray Qingzhou, but his relationship with Liu Bei is there, and it is usually fine. Once someone takes advantage of this, Shi
If you use a strategy, spread a rumor or something, things will become difficult to tell.
Therefore, he would rather not claim the credit than ruin something big because of himself.
"When a man is established in the world, he stands tall and proud, and he only needs to have a clear conscience. Why should he care about what others say? You can go with Zijing to guard Dingtao and Chengyang. Unless you admit that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you dare not go
, I will not accept any other reasons!"
Wang Yu's response was clean and neat, and he just asked: "What, are you going, or not?"
Guan Ping's face suddenly turned red, and he suppressed his agitated heart and replied loudly: "How lucky is Guan Ping that his lord treats him as a national soldier? How dare he not sacrifice his life?"
"Very good!" Wang Yu has nothing to worry about. Guan Ping is a man of justice and trustworthiness, and his father, brother, and family members are all in Hebei. From any point of view, there is no need for him to re-join Liu Bei. If Guan Yu also returns to the world, there will be
It's a small danger, but Guan Yu has been missing for a long time. Before his disappearance, he may not have seen Liu Bei clearly as a person, which made him feel cold, and the possibility of returning to Liu Bei's command is very low.
Even if something goes wrong, wouldn't there still be Lu Su and Li Bin to check and balance? It is still worth doing to take a small risk and stimulate the potential of a general.
Yu Jin's defense area naturally covers the area from Fengqiu, Jujube, to Changyuan. Yu Jin's troops lacked some flexibility, but with Jia Xu around, Wang Yu didn't worry too much. What really embarrassed him was how to place Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is also a typical person who is good at attacking but not good at defending. If possible, Wang Yu would like to drag Lu Bu and Gao Shun to Bingzhou and leave Zhao Yun behind. But Lu Bu is not the kind of person who can be obedient. He wants to fight with
Wang Yu was unable to persuade Cao Cao to settle the old score, but now because of the withdrawal of troops, Lu Bu was filled with resentment, so naturally he was even more helpless.
After thinking about it again and again, Wang Yu finally placed Lu Bu in Pucheng as a mobile force and let him decide how to fight. Of course, Wei Yan still had to follow him to ensure that there would be no problems when the two armies fought together. In addition, he could
At critical moments, give me a few words of advice.
Of course, privately Wang Yu also repeatedly warned Wei Yan to keep an eye on him and not to let Lu Bu take risks.
Lu Bu was not dissatisfied with Wang Yu's arrangements, but he raised a point that Wang Yu ignored: "What should Hanoi do?"
Before the war, under Lu Bu's urging, Zhang Yang had already made up his mind and was ready to defect to Qingzhou. If it hadn't been for Liu Biao's incident, the start of the war would have been postponed to summer and autumn, and Wang Yu would have been able to take over Hanoi.
But now that the start of the war has been advanced, Zhang Yang can't make a promise in Hanoi. Although he works hard, the change of flag in Hanoi is still far away.
Wang Yu did not include Hanoi in his defense plan. He obviously meant to abandon Hanoi and use it as a buffer zone. Lu Bu, however, had an unusual sense of responsibility for this matter and could not but mention it.
"Hanoi?" Wang Yu answered with his eyebrows pinched: "Our army is beyond our reach now. It is better to let General Zhang judge the situation by himself. If he cannot persist, he can make plans early and retreat to Qingzhou. The treatment promised to him is not good.
Change is.”
"...that's fine." Lu Bu thought for a while and seemed to have no better way, so he had no objections. The military meeting ended and the generals returned to their positions and began to mobilize their troops.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, when Wang Yu was about to lead his army to leave the camp and go north, Jia Xu suddenly chased him out of the camp.
"Lord, please stay!" He swayed his fat body and walked as fast as flying. He caught up with Wang Yu's horse after a few staggers. He took a letter in his hand, but did not hand it to Wang Yu in a hurry, but looked left and right. There was no one else around, so he lowered his voice and said: "My lord, something bad is going on! Yuan Zhi sent a message from Feige three days ago. Our army took advantage of the internal strife in the Xiliang army to attack the company camp at night. We won first and then lost! Now the situation in Bingzhou is out of control!" "
