Liu Zhang shook his head: "That's impossible. No one in Yecheng's family can sleep peacefully now. They are all carrying 120,000 yuan with great caution. If they go deep alone, they will die.
What I mean is this. The plan to take down the Great Wall remains unchanged. After climbing over the Great Wall, we will prepare for a decisive battle with the alien army, but we will secretly move the army to the northeast of Youzhou to block the escape route of the alien army."
"Move the army to the northwest? This way the retreat is blocked, but who will defeat the alien army?" Wang Shuang asked aloud, and other generals also whispered.
The pocket array has been laid out and no one is chasing the ducks. Isn't that all the hard work in vain?
Liu Zhang said: "Wang Shuang's army is right. Blocking the retreat of the alien army requires a lot more troops than the alien army, at least 300,000 people.
So we have only one way, and that is to use the remaining hundreds of thousands of people to not only defend the northwest Great Wall of Youzhou, but also to defeat these hundreds of thousands of foreign troops."
"This... is unlikely." A general said.
Zhang Liao came out and said: "My lord, please forgive Zhang Liao's blunt statement. Although the key passes in the northwest of Youzhou are fewer than those in the northeast, they are still very numerous. It will take at least 100,000 soldiers to defend them.
We now have a total of about 400,000 troops. If we transfer 300,000 out, the remaining 100,000 will be able to barely hold on to the pass. It is really impossible to defeat the alien army.
If too many troops are sent and the key pass cannot be defended, the alien army will flee from the northwest of Youzhou."
"That's because General Wenyuan still doesn't understand the true combat power of our army." Liu Zhang turned to Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, do you think it's feasible?"
Huang Yueying thought for a moment and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, do you want to use the Tengjia army to guard the key pass and the Dawan cavalry to attack?"
"That's right." Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Our army now has 40,000 new Tengjia troops. Including General Wutugu's original Tengjia army, there are more than 50,000. We sent 20,000 into the northeast of Youzhou, and the rest
With more than 30,000 people, they can definitely stop the alien army from crossing the Great Wall.
With 30,000 Dawan cavalry, 20,000 archers, 20,000 heavy cavalry, and 70,000 troops, I am confident that I can defeat hundreds of thousands of foreign cavalry in one fell swoop."
Huang Yueying nodded lightly after hearing this: "My lord's plan is feasible. There are now 80,000 Xianbei troops, 50,000 Wuhuan troops, and 30,000 Yuan brothers. The total is only 160,000 people. With one against two, 80,000
The Jingqi can definitely defeat these armies in one fell swoop.
The 30,000-strong Tengjia Army is inherently invulnerable, and they are all selected elite soldiers. It can be done with the power of 100,000 people guarding the pass.
And to be on the safe side, Yueying suggested that we can use the 80,000 fine cavalry to fly the banner of the vanguard army and attack quickly. As long as the vanguard defeats the alien army, the alien army will be frightened and will not dare to escape to the northwest.
Totally worry-free.”
Many generals were surprised and doubtful, but 80,000 people were still confident against 100,000 people.
Only Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others knew that the Dawan cavalry had been training for half a year. In order to achieve unexpected results, they trained in secret. The archers and heavy cavalry had just arrived. The other generals did not know the strength of these three cavalry groups and were confused.
normal.
"What should we do about Yecheng?" Zhang Jia asked first. Of course they would feel better if they did not directly attack Yecheng, but this does not mean that Zhang Jia, Zhang Liao and others would just turn a blind eye. They just heard Liu Zhang
After saying this, he opened his jaw and asked his doubts without hesitation.
Otherwise, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Tian Yu and others would not feel at ease, let alone opening their jaws.
Liu Zhang did not speak, Huang Yueying smiled slightly and said: "Yueying now understands what my lord means. When the 80,000 cavalry defeat the alien army and the alien army flees to the northeast of Youzhou, what will the noble families of Yecheng do?
If the army does not press the border, will they take back the Huguan defense and the Yellow River defense, and let us troops from other routes enter? No, they have only one way out, organize the army to increase the number of troops from the north, even if they know that it is just a small tree, they will definitely reinforce the north.
Now that the Yecheng family is in poverty, if we want to organize troops again, the treasury cannot afford it, so we can only collect taxes. By then, Hebei will inevitably be in large-scale turmoil, and perhaps it will be a different story by then."
Zhang Liao opened his jaw and others took a breath of cold air, feeling that Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying were letting the Hebei clans fend for themselves. This had many benefits, and allowed the clans to be brutal before their death, leading to a large-scale civil uprising.
If the Sichuan Army enters the country in response to the popular sentiments, it will definitely be welcomed by all the people. The popular sentiments of the Hebei people can be determined at a moment's notice.
And if it develops well, the 300,000 troops of the Shi clan in Huguan and the Yellow River will be in vain, because the Sichuan army did not approach Yecheng, and the Shi clan army will never be able to withdraw from Huguan and the Yellow River.
When the civil uprising became violent, it was estimated that they would not be able to retreat even if they wanted to. The Sichuan cavalry would eliminate the foreign troops and then return to support, making a quick raid on Yecheng a breeze.
This is more perfect than Huang Yueying's strategy, although it has been slightly supplemented by Huang Yueying.
What makes Zhang Liao and others most happy is that in this way, whether it is the Cao family, the Xiahou family, or their own family members, their chances of survival are much greater. As long as the popular uprising breaks out, there will be almost no security problems for the generals' families who are not under house arrest.
, only the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
But the two families are not completely hopeless. After all, there are too many people, and it will be difficult to control a popular uprising.
It's just that Cao Cao can only listen to fate.
In any case, this plan not only conforms to the Sichuan Army's strategy, but also conforms to the inner wishes, emotions and military duties. It is the best result in the hearts of Zhang Liao, Zhang Jia and others.
"Okay, in that case, all generals, go down and prepare. In three days, prepare to fully capture the Great Wall."
"yes."
All the generals responded in unison, the sound shook the tent, and they retreated one after another.
When all the generals left, Huang Yueying smiled at Liu Zhang and said, "My lord is getting more and more powerful. I didn't expect it at first."
Liu Zhang knew that the reason why Huang Yueying did not expect it was that Huang Yueying still did not realize that the prairie was also the territory of the Han Dynasty, so he was not that concerned about chasing and intercepting the foreigners.
If it conforms to the unification strategy and can stop the foreign tribes, Huang Yueying will definitely do that, but the temptation to attack Yecheng and quickly unify is too great, so she does not worry about the foreign tribes.
Liu Zhang is different. Liu Zhang has always regarded the grassland as the territory of the Han Dynasty. Now the eastern grassland has been completely controlled. The women, cattle and sheep of the Xianbei people have been distributed to other herdsmen, or they have migrated to Bingzhou. The Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people must not be allowed to go back.
.
In Liu Zhang's mind, the elimination of these alien armies was as important as the conquest of Hebei, and he never ignored these people.
Liu Zhang smiled slightly and said: "Have you never eaten pork and seen a pig running? You are so good, I should learn a little bit."
"You...who are you talking about..." Huang Yueying stared and looked at Liu Zhang angrily. She knew that Liu Zhang did it on purpose. Although Liu Zhang was definitely not as good as herself when it came to military strategy, it was more than enough to deal with a group of foreigners.
Huang Yueying thought of this and reflexively stretched out her hand and pinched Liu Zhang's arm.
Liu Zhang felt pain in his arm, took Huang Yueying's hand, hugged Huang Yueying over, gently stroked Huang Yueying's back, and said in Huang Yueying's pink ear: "The last battle, Yueying."
"Are you excited or nervous?" Huang Yueying asked.
"I won't be nervous, but it's too early to say I'm excited." Liu Zhang hugged Huang Yueying tightly. Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang hugged her like this because he was excited, but this was not the time to be excited, so he couldn't say it, so that's all. .
Liu Zhang used this method to resolve the emotions in his heart. Huang Yueying did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt at ease as she was held by Liu Zhang through thick clothes.
The Sichuan army launched attacks on the foreign troops from Daijun, Sangqian, and Yuyang. The original Great Wall defense line was not stable, and many gaps were opened by the Sichuan army during this year.
Moreover, the alien army is too incompetent to defend the city. Only tens of thousands of troops of the Yuan brothers guard the city, but these two brothers are obviously not good at it. The Yuan army defends the city better than the alien army, but the courage of the Yuan brothers is not one tenth of that of the aliens. One big.
"Third brother, this is unreasonable. Kebi Nengbu Dugen and others did not send their troops, but asked us to die here blocking the Sichuan army. It is too much."
Yuan Xi stood on the city wall, watching the Sichuan army in the distance preparing for the next attack, and complained to Yuan Shang.
The Sichuan Army's offensive was so fierce, and its combat power was so powerful that ordinary infantry could completely destroy Yuan's army, not to mention the large number of invulnerable soldiers following them.
Yuan Jun had never seen such a battle before. Even when they fought against Cao Jun, who was extremely powerful in their hearts, they were never so scared. No wonder these troops in front of them were able to defeat Cao Jun completely and reduced it to the state of ruin it is today.
The soldiers were also frightened and suffered heavy losses. After holding on for two days, Yuan Xi couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't think about whether the foreigners were good at defending the city. He just felt that it was extremely unfair.
"But." Yuan Shang is a handsome man with a face like a crown jewel, looking like the hero of Dream of Red Mansions. There is a little worry on his face. He really looks like Pan An.
Yuan Shang said with some worry: "We have no choice at all. If we don't defend and let the Sichuan army cross the Great Wall, wouldn't it be all over?"
"Humph, if we don't defend, we don't know whether it will be finished. If we stick to this place, we will finish it first before the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people finish, and before the Hebei Cao family finishes."
"Then what should we do?" Yuan Shang was also worried. In fact, he had been worried, but he had no choice but to hold on. Now after listening to Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Shang could no longer hold back. He didn't want to die like this. Already.
"Third brother, listen to me. Don't waste your life here. We won't be able to hold on for long. By then, our entire army will be wiped out. Let's retreat."
"However, if the Sichuan army crosses the Great Wall, Hebei will definitely be in danger. Where can we go?" It is for this reason that Yuan Shang has been unable to make up his mind.
Yuan Shang had a cowardly character. After Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan family fell into pieces. They were chased everywhere by Cao's army and attached to Wuhuan's army. They needed to be fawned over by all parties. For so many years, Yuan Shang felt that his life was really not a good one.
