The big man is on the run

Chapter 139 The Plan to Surprise Ye City

"Oh? Yuan Shao is so bold?"

After hearing Jia Xu's bold idea, Liu Yi opened his mouth in surprise, and looked at Jia Xu in disbelief.

In his impression, this kind of roundabout and outflanking style of play is not like what Yuan Benchu, who is indecisive and indecisive, can do.

Jia Xu smiled faintly: "Yuan Shao's ambition has always existed. This time he dispatched troops, I am afraid that he wanted to completely conquer Hedong and then occupy Bingzhou, so as to realize his strategy of unifying the north of Hebei, Qinghai, Bing, and You."

"Then what should we do now? Let Hedong County take defensive measures, or step up transportation of Yang Fengbu to cross the river and attack and counterattack?" Liu Yi asked again.

"Let Ma Chao's cavalry troops search and attack along the south bank of Fenshui River. You can attack now, but you must be careful, because Yuan Shao's army, even if Chunyu Qiong is not counted, has a full [-] troops. If Ma Chao's two thousand cavalry rashly If you attack, you may suffer a big loss."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Yi also took a deep breath and nodded: "Well, just follow this and remember to report to Zhu Gong."

"For reinforcements, please make an order from Your Majesty to order the Duan Yan Department of Hongnong County to mobilize elites to cross the river from Fengling, and at the same time, the Yang Feng Department will rush to cross the river from Puban. At least [-] soldiers will have to cross the river in the next few days. Looking at the troops, even Yuan Shao's first wave of offensive might be difficult to persist."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of trust.

Even though we are outnumbered, they all firmly believe that the one who can have the last laugh must be their side.

"Jing Zhaoyin's Dong Chengbu and Chang'an's forbidden army are not in a hurry to act now." Liu Yi said suddenly.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Yi puzzled, and asked, "Yuan Shao's troops are about to reach Hedong County, why don't the troops in Guanzhong move yet? Your Majesty, even if it is for the second wave of reinforcements, it is time to move. After all, it takes time to get from Chang'an to Hedong, and if there is a problem with the ferry on the Yellow River, then there will be a big problem."

Liu Yi shook his head: "No, I suddenly thought of an idea."

Jia Xu was a little puzzled.

"Since in Mr. Wen He's vision, the worst outcome now is that Yuan Shao will use a big detour to order Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce generals to lead the cavalry to cut off the Yellow River ferry south along the south bank of Fenshui. That gentleman thinks that our army is With reinforcements coming, even if we can barely hold on to Hedong, will we be able to force Yuan Shao back?"

"If Puban is kept, we still have to fight for food in the end."

Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and said: "Yuan Shao has launched such a large-scale offensive now, and the soldiers are directing at various important places in Hedong. Even if the food and grass in the cities in Hedong are not exhausted, there should not be too much food. Now, if Yuan Shao's army invades at this time, they may not be able to outsmart Yuan Shao if they fight for grain and grass reserves, and the fact that the Black Mountain Army flanked Yuan Shao cannot be considered as something that will definitely happen."

"But Yuan Shao should still have a lot of food and grass. This time I heard that Jizhou has been looted very seriously, and as long as he keeps robbing the local people in Hedong, then he should be able to maintain the army."

"So, what I mean is that after Yuan Shao's army arrives in Hedong County and confirms Yuan Shao's purpose, we will launch a counterattack." Liu Yi explained, "Movement is definitely necessary. Let's wait for a while by the Yellow River. Time, if Yuan Shao's army really intends to make a big detour to encircle Hedong, we will directly attack the rear of Yuan Shao's army and disrupt Yuan Shao's rear."

"Your Majesty mean to cross the river from Fenglingdu? However, our military strength is not sufficient, and our food and grass reserves cannot compete with Yuan Shao. I am afraid that without the support of Guanzhong, the defenders in Hedong will not be able to wait for the successful attack." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"No, I'm not referring to the rear."

Jia Xu was lost in thought, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her fingers trembled slightly.

"What did His Majesty say?"

"That's right!" Liu Yi laughed loudly, "Kou can go, and I can go too!"

"Mr. Wenhe, don't forget that Yuan Shao is now heading west from Jizhou. His old nest must be extremely empty. We don't need to go to the east of the river to refuel. The cavalry goes straight out of Taolin Sai to Luoyang. , crossed north to Mengjin and took the publicity territory, and galloped day and night to surprise Yecheng! As long as Yuan Shao dares to use his main cavalry to make a big roundabout in Hedong County, then we can strike late. When the time comes, the old nest is threatened, and Yuan Shao will have to retreat! "

"Your Majesty's move is really clever! Hitting a snake requires three inches!"

Liu Yi nodded and said, "This is just an idea, Mr. Wen He, what's your opinion?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, and said: "We can send a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of Yuan Shao's army. If Yuan Shao's army makes any abnormal moves, we will immediately order the cities in Hedong to defend according to the predetermined plan, and then let Ma Chao go from here. Withdraw to the east, in this way, we can not only stabilize our position in the rear, but also delay Yuan Shao's advance as much as possible, and then we can encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"Well, not bad." Liu Yi also agreed.

When Jia Xu and Liu Yi were discussing the counterattack plan, at the foot of Jieshan Mountain in Hedong County, Ma Chaojun had been sent to Hedong for several months in the camp.

"Report!"

A personal guard rushed over on horseback, rolled the saddle off the horse and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "General, the front-line Baibo army has sent a letter, requesting the general to lead an elite army immediately to help the Baibo army launch a counterattack."

"Counterattack?" Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment.

Pound beside him was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the Baibo army would choose to attack.

There are 5 people on Yuan Shao's North Road. The Baibo Army, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, only has 1 people after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled. ?

"How do you say it? Bring the messenger over."

The envoy was brought over and hurriedly saluted: "General Ma Chao, you don't know something. Yuan Shao led an army of [-] to march westward. My general said that if we are still here at this time, we will lose the opportunity. So I think we should attack and give Yuan Shao a head-on blow first!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes shone with an incomparably cold light.

Pang De laughed: "Your general is quite good at fighting, but you actually chose to attack Yuan Shao's army actively. How much is Yuan Shao's army? The current strength in the south bank of Fenshui."

The envoy explained: "Yuan Shao's troops will definitely not be too small. If you don't see us face to face, there will be at least [-] troops on the south bank of Fenshui. However, my general estimated that there are only [-] soldiers at most. After all, The current situation is not very smooth for Yuan Shao. General Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army has already led his troops to go south. Yuan Shao is now only relying on his [-] troops, while we and the Black Mountain Army have nearly [-] soldiers. , I think that as soon as the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive in Hedong County, Yuan Shao will attack us with all his might, and now Yuan Shao's offensive strength is not high, so my general plans to fight back."

What the messenger said was similar to Pound's expectation, but what the scout said before was completely different.

Although Yuan Shao has a total force of [-], Yuan Shao can attack from both north and south, which is definitely a disaster for Hedong County.

Because in this way, Hedong County will be divided into two battlefields. In the south of Hedong County, that is, the core area south of Fenshui, there will only be five or six thousand defenders left. If Yuan Shao does not attack Baibo Valley violently, if His purpose is to attack the south bank of Fenshui?

After all, Yuan Shao led a total of 4 troops along the way, so even if he allocated a part to block the Black Mountain Army, and then allocated a part to Chun Yuqiong as a partial division at the beginning, the remaining troops were not the same as the current troops from all walks of life in Hedong. There are at least [-] people who can compete.

That's why Yuan Shao, who holds a huge advantage, thinks that he can easily take down Hedong County.

"I see." Pound nodded with a smile. "If that's the case, then let's fight back, but we still have to discuss how to send troops, and ask the envoy to avoid it."

The messenger nodded: "Yes!"

After discussing with each other, Pound and Ma Chao began to gather their generals, and then began to formulate a battle plan.

"Do you really want to follow the Baibo army to attack?" Ma Chao was a little displeased. He didn't like to listen to other people's orders, not to mention that he looked down on the Baibo army at all.

"No, why go without an order from the court." Pang De smiled and signaled Ma Chao to stay calm.

In theory, the coach of this army is Pound, not Ma Chao.

Of course, Pound, as Ma Teng's general, actually had to listen to Ma Chao, but he had a lot of power to make suggestions, and Ma Chao suffered a loss once, so it was not good for him to act arbitrarily.

Soon, Pound told Ma Chao his battle plan. Ma Chao nodded and said, "This plan is indeed very good, but the people who lead the troops are too dangerous. If we are really fighting back against Ji In the process of climbing the mountain, if we encounter Yuan Shao's surprise attack, then we may never have a chance to come back."

Pang De said: "I know that this plan is indeed very dangerous, so our goal is also very hidden. We will not directly follow the Baibo army to attack Yuan Shao, but to lure Yuan Shao's partial division on the south bank of Fenshui to the Jishan area, so that Yuan Shao's army fell into a state of chaos in Jishan, only in this way can we have a chance to attack."

Ma Chao frowned and said, "But Yuan Shao has too many troops on the south bank of Fenshui. Even if we want to lure him into the hinterland of Mount Ji, it will not be easy."

Pang De smiled and said: "Don't worry, if we can seize this opportunity and let Yuan Shao's army fall into chaos in Jishan, I guarantee that we will be surrounded by our cavalry. If we fight against their arrogance, as long as we annihilate a good fighting force, the divisions south of Fenshui will be unable to move an inch, and they will no longer be able to attack our Jieshan area from the east."

"Then how sure are you?" Ma Chao asked.

"I'm [-]% sure." Pound said with a smile.

"[-]%? Are you [-]% sure?"

Pang De smiled and said: "If some of Yuan Shao's partial divisions are wiped out in Jishan, I am confident that Yuan Shao's partial divisions will have nowhere to retreat and nowhere to stay. We will delay Yuan Shao's troops within a short period of time. As long as the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive sooner, our food supply will not be cut off at that time, and we can also get a large amount of food from other directions. In this way, our The army can continuously replenish food and grass, as long as we continue to persevere, it doesn't matter if Yuan Shao is blocked on the front line of Fenshui, even if the Baibo army is wiped out, as long as we hold on, Yuan Shao's army will undoubtedly be defeated!"

"In this case, then we will do as you said!" Ma Chao's face showed a touch of joy.

Ma Chao really wants to prove himself once.
