Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 180 Xu Bowen's use of soldiers is really vicious!
If another person kills him, he won't get this kind of favor. General Xiahou Dun really knows how to watch people order, knowing that following Xu Zhen can be open and disregarding military orders. Even if he is punished, Xu Zhen will carry it in front. How can life be How many people like this have you met?
"General Yuan Rang may be very happy. He has been guarding the East County all these years, and all his achievements abroad have nothing to do with him. Now that he has met Bowen, of course he must take advantage of the upcoming winter break to make a big fuss."

"Let's make trouble." Cao Cao walked ahead with his hands behind his back, his tone not concealing his arrogance, "Since we can conquer, there is no need to hide it. This year is the end of the year, first give Yuan Shao a big gift to let him have a good New Year."

"Okay, okay..." Xun Yu originally wanted to say something long-term. For example, if too much exposure this year aroused Yuan Shao's vigilance, what if they should hurry up to build up armaments next year, or try to find a way to study new military tactics? But in the end he didn't say it.

Having known Cao Cao for many years, they already knew each other best. How could he not know what Cao Cao was thinking at this moment? Since he had already said such things, of course he had already thought of these things in his heart, so there was no point in repeating them.

If you know it, you will know it. It is nothing more than soldiers coming to block, water and soil to cover it up. First, let's see how many victories can be achieved in this winter day. Calculating the time, it is only about half a month, and winter is about to begin.

……

Outside of Puyang, the water at Guandu became colder and colder. Zhang Liao led his troops to take another camp on the plain outside Guandu Ferry. After entering and leaving the camp three times, they forced Zhang He's troops back twenty miles. They never dared to have Yuan Jun enter again, they were already afraid of the masked cavalry on horseback.

Especially after Zhang Liao, there is actually another general on the opposite side, who is afraid of death to such an extent, not only his horse is wearing armor and a horse face, but he is also wearing a mask, and even has fine soft armor on his fingers. It is difficult for ordinary arrow rain to hurt him. This person also charged along with the team. He got close to Zhang Yun several times and almost cut him with a knife. Fortunately, he will use the ring head knife When using a sword, the blade is short, but when using a saber, it is not so powerful.

But to be beaten here, the casualties are not insignificant. After fighting for several days in a row, they did not get a complete set of armor or a complete horse.

Because they are all defeats, even if they can be killed on a small scale, when they want to clean up the battlefield, they will be scattered and surrounded by the enemy troops rushing nearby, and they will become a turtle in an urn, while the Baima side and Guandu here have faintly become After hearing that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses also came out from Xudu and were preparing to gather in Dongjun and set up a camp to Guandu, Yan Liang could only order to withdraw to Liyang first. Set up a camp among the mountain ranges, and moved forward to minimize the area where the war is currently avoided. Close to the mountain, use the dangerous place to prevent Xu Zhen from aggressively bullying him, and send the battle report back to Wei County, Jizhou.

There was a lot of earnestness in the words, and he never mentioned that he would kill Xu Zhen's head and send him to Yecheng to ask for merit, probably because he had already been beaten by the elusive armored cavalry and lost his confidence.

Three of the four courtyard pillars outside of Hebei are here, but they failed to make any achievements, so the morale of the army can't be said to be boosted, and I don't know if they have recovered their face. Within, the occupied site connects Baima and Guandu, the mountains and rivers are all occupied, and the ferry is blocked. If there is another battle after that, there will be no worries about crossing the river.

The Jizhou side believes that what is lost is nothing more than a few insignificant ferries, so that the army and the people do not need to panic too much. At least the Yanjin Ferry is still in their hands, and they cannot go around the mountains to Yanjin. Few people in the army buy this argument However, the school officials who have led the army for many years understand that Guandu has already suffered a crushing defeat. If there is no more army to attack, the minds of the soldiers and civilians in the territory will become more and more unstable.

As a result, the situation gradually became uncontrollable.

Xu Zhen, who had already set up a big camp in Guandu, was now more and more energetic. After winning a lot of battles, he directly called people to call Xu Chu and Zhao Yun from Xudu, and let them lead the troops to station. Shun led the sword and shield battalion to arrive secretly, and the Tibetan army was prepared in the luggage, so it didn't show its edge for the time being.

After the gathering of civil and military forces, Xu Zhen's army received [-] shi of grain and [-] jin of meat from Cao Cao, and immediately divided them and ate them. There was a lot of celebration. After ten days of fighting, all places plundered each other, but without fear of attacking and fighting, Zhang Liao still There are more victories than defeat, which is worth celebrating.

He got drunk that night and drank the water from Guandu. Unexpectedly, it took another fourteen days to worship Zhongliang's soul. In Xu Zhen's words, it was a big profit!After all, helping them pick up two top sevens, this is considered a military burial.

Inside the military tent, Xu Zhen looked at the widely circulated proclamations and announcements sent by Jizhou. His expression was very dignified. He didn't expect these scholars to be so calm and not come to attack. If you don't attack, you won't be given a chance. If you keep defending until winter, it will be useless to show them the armored cavalry. Maybe next spring Yuan Shao will have giant shield soldiers, who can defend without attacking, making it difficult for the armored cavalry to exert their miraculous effects. .

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen laughed at the system's prompt.

[Fifteen days of continuous combat!Command +1, self-discipline +500]

[Your majesty makes the soldiers sincerely admire you!Charm +1]

【Rate: 93】

【Charm: 98】

Both are extremely important attributes at present, and Xu Zhen never dreamed that he might be the first to break through the 100 mark in charm.

Of course, not necessarily, this winter, Zhuge Liang, Pu Feng and others will definitely solve the problem of the delicate mechanism of the hand crossbow, and at that time the time-limited tasks for military training will also be issued.

So Xu Zhen laughed directly.

"Look, Jun Hou laughed, which means that he has a plan in mind."

Jia Xu said to Dian Wei that he seemed to be arguing with Dian Wei just now, and at this moment he pulled Xu Zhen out to speak clearly, then stroking his beard and said: "From the point of view of the old man, since the two major ferries have been taken, it is better to take Yanjin." Also take it off, as long as the water is stored at Guandu, Yanjin will not flow, and after the flood floods, the flood will overflow the camp. Facing the freezing weather, most of the armaments and supplies will be pulled over by boats and ships, waiting for the attack in one fell swoop in the coming year."

Xu Zhen's face tightened, I laughed and this has nothing to do with it, how can it be so easy to store water, how many manpower and sandbags and boulders can store such a wide turbulent river, and Yanjin is a confluence, unless there is continuous heavy rain in this way.

But Jia Xu's words made Xu Zhen really have a plan, "That's right, let's hoard the river!!"

"Really hoard?!"

Dian Wei looked at Xu Zhen in bewilderment, how dare you agree.

"Really hoarding! Let the soldiers under your command cut down the trees in the mountains and forests, chisel huge stones and put them in cloth bags, pull them into the river and hoard them from both sides of the river, let Pu Feng refine the thick gate valves into the water, form gates and close the river, and wait for the water level to rise. "

"why?!"

Dian Wei asked this crucial question. Now everyone is excited and aggressive. Take this as an advance. If you turn to cutting wood and digging rocks to stockpile water to seal the river, then this morale will be wasted." I think it's better to kill Li Yang directly!"

"Passing Liyang and stepping into Wei County! It's only one step away!"

Xu Zhen laughed, and Jia Xu on the far right also smiled wryly and shook his head. It is a good thing to have morale, but Dian Wei's words are so reckless, "Li Yang will be taken down sooner or later, but it will definitely not be taken down now. It's very high, similar to Shouchun back then, if you want to attack, you need tens of thousands of people to attack one after another, and you can take it after exhausting the defenders' energy, if it is not so difficult to attack, there is only one situation to attack the city."

Dian Wei was stunned, "What kind?"

"It's time to chase the defeated army!"

"Then they don't come out, they're already shrunk! What should I do?"

Xu Zhen said: "You can keep boosting the morale of the army by shrinking. The more they shrink, the less they can rush to attack rashly and do what they can. No matter what, take Yanjin first!"

If it was in the past, Xu Zhen always thought that fighting Yuan Shao was the battle of Wuchao. The most important people were not Yan Liang, the lords of both sides, or Guan Yu who killed Yan Liang with a fast horse, but Chunyu Qiong and Xu You.

If you have been waiting now, avoiding going out, until the situation comes to that day, when Xun Yu writes the persuasion form and Cao Cao asks how to get the grain and grass, then come up and say that Yuan Shao hoards grain and grass in Wuchao, that is the easiest winning method.

Because there is no need to change anything, just such a sentence, but on this day, when Xu Zhen looked at the situation again, he found that the situation was actually created by creating momentum, and he absolutely couldn't wait!Because it has changed a long time ago, the name of Cao's benevolence and righteousness is so prosperous now, the conscription is much faster, and there is no chaos in Xuzhou!Even Zang Ba sent his son to Xudu to attend the imperial school with Zhang Xiu's son early, so Chang Xi under his command would not have to rebel even if he wanted to, and he would not have to worry about food and grass.

How to ask that sentence?Cao Jun's confidence is not ordinary. Now that it's all here, it's better to let go of his hands and feet and leave only Wuchao as a base. If he sends troops in a large scale, Wuchao must still be the first choice for food storage.

"A friend of mine said that Yan Liang has a narrow personality. In fact, he is narrow-minded and jealous, so he will definitely come out."

Xu Zhen said a key point, which made Jia Xu's eyes brighten up, nodded and said: "That's right, you should indeed stockpile water! You are indeed smart!"

……

Three days later, the weather was already colder, and the autumn wind turned into a winter wind, but Yan Liang never dared to slack off at the Guandu camp. The river at Guandu had been fighting for many years, and Xiahou Dun was the same. Evenly divided, each occupying one side.

But now there are already five ferries that are occupied by the two armies of Xu and Xiahou, and there is one in Yanjin, which must be preserved, otherwise the entire front will be lost. More than 8000 people were killed, tens of thousands of total casualties, and the longest one was recaptured within three days before being attacked again. Now we can only choose to defend Yanjin.

Yanjin is on the easternmost side, which is the lower reaches of the river. The river flows westward automatically. In the past few days, they have found that the water is much smaller.

So the garrison in Yanjin quickly began to check. From the water and land roads, they all saw Xu Jun preparing to cut down trees and dig rocks. Stock up on water.

As long as the river is wide enough and the banks are sloping, you can almost store up a lot. If it rains for a few more days... Once the water flow breaks through the obstacles, it will not be like an angry dragon that has been aggrieved all these days. The Yanjin pouring down below, thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp will suffer, so what a fart!
So the news soon reached Yan Liang's hands.

Yan Liang's personality was not narrow-minded, and he was very generous most of the time, but he was afraid of being compared with others in his life. It would be no problem if he was asked to compete with Gongsun Zan's generals, because they had won a big victory in the first place.

It is no problem to compare him with famous generals such as Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, etc., because they have never fought against each other, and they can compare each other by bragging about each other's major battles. Anyway, they will never win Negative to.

But now when compared with Xu Zhen, the problem is very big!He brought [-] volumes, and he didn't even see Xu Zhen's hair, so he was killed by a bunch of unknown generals, and two famous generals led a team to help in the raid, and now they are under his nose again They were hoarding water and preparing to break through Yanjin, and the gap immediately increased.

Xu Zhen is so cruel that if you don’t give it to Yanjin, I don’t want it either. A puddle of water will destroy both banks. Anyway, the direction of flow is also extremely favorable, and it all flows east. East.Now the dominance is in his hands again, and if this continues, it will really all fall.

"This Xu Bowen is really bold. He doesn't pay attention to my generals in Jizhou. He is now cutting down mountains and forests, digging stones and transporting them! It's my soldiers and horses who are retreating, but I don't know that this is to recharge their batteries. , it’s more convenient for a surprise charge, I think! The surprise attack on Xu Zhen’s camp tonight will make him fall short.”

In the main tent before Li Yang, Yan Liang said decisively that this was the result of his long-term deliberation. No matter how many military divisions were around, he would think about it. They don't take their soldiers and horses seriously at all.

At this time, both Zhang He and Gao Lan led the troops back. Outside Li Yang, Yan Liang was stationed, while inside Li Yang, Wen Chou was on guard. The two brothers were extremely outstanding, so there was no need to worry about the future. There is nothing wrong with sending out troops. Look, as long as they raid Xu Zhen's camp now, their fortifications on the mountain will be blocked, which means that they can break through the siege and destroy the place where the water is stored first, so that they don't have to wait for many days to release it.

All the marching strategies were so reasonable, so that night, Yan Liang personally brought thousands of fine cavalry to make a surprise attack, and then he was ambushed logically. The archers had already prepared on both sides of the mountain forest, relying on the terrain. After setting up multiple ambush points, Yan Liang's surprise attack was waiting.

That night, the armored cavalry did not appear, but soldiers and horses with swords and shields crossed the mountains and ridges. After thousands of people retreated, they quickly marched back to the plain and took away the remaining hundreds of horses. After a period of chaos, Wen Chou came out to rescue the army and was proud to stabilize the army, but the casualties were also extremely heavy.

After Yan Liang was baptized by the arrow rain, he ran away in the mountains and lost his way. Now that this situation is clearly a trick, it is useless. Now his mind is full of what Liu Bei said In a word, Xu Bowen should not be underestimated.

At this time, he really understood that the pot is made of iron. Xu Bowen was not cautious at all, and he used his troops to plan. If he hoarded water to attack Yanjin, he would just lose it. There is not much morale in the army. Specifying worse.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight with one's back, force a surprise attack, and make Xu Zhen pay the price, so Yan Liang sent troops to boost the morale of the army!So he was chased in the valley near Yanjin.
