Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

232 Chapter 231

The recent weather in Anfeng is very dull and hot. If the sentinels on patrol walk a little slower, they will be sweated by the suffocation. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is about to rain heavily.

The rainy season in Huainan is concentrated in June and July. This year it is already July, but there is no rain. It seems that the late rain this year must be urgent.

Xiahoudun in Caoying Dazhai outside Anfeng City seemed very anxious, pacing back and forth in the Chinese army tent, and he didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot or his mood was too impatient. He was sweating profusely in armor and helmet.

"How can this be good? Lin Mo's action was too fast, and he actually entered Ye City. Moreover, the aristocratic families of the Northern Kingdom also chose to acquiesce. There are still [-] Northern National Army in Liyang City. Once he gets mad, he will go straight to Xu Chang , then even if we want to retreat, Zhang Liao will definitely chase and kill them all the way, this matter is troublesome, troublesome."

Cao Cao captured Bingzhou, seized hundreds of thousands of grain and grass, thousands of horses, and captured more than 2 northern soldiers. He also opened up the channel for buying horses in the future. This is great news.

But the bad news is that Lu Bu has entered Jizhou, and it didn't cause too much trouble, which made Xiahou Dun feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

They even had the idea of ​​​​retiring because of this.

Guo Jia who was standing on the side seemed much calmer, probably calm and naturally cool, the whole person seemed very relaxed, and said with a smile: "General, you don't have to be so restless, as I said before, now it's just a comparison with him to see who is faster. "

Xiahoudun knew that the "he" Guo Jia was referring to was the so-called expert hiding behind Zhang Liao, but he didn't understand the speed at which he was so fast. It sounded like Guo Jia knew that things would develop to this point a long time ago, so Standing still, he asked patiently:

"At first, I thought you were going to attack them when they were transferred to Yanhuiling, to see who could respond faster. Now it seems that the master has other intentions, and I hope to let you know."

"General, when the heavy rain comes, they must move to Yanhui Ridge. After the heavy rain, the water potential of the breaking water has weakened to the point where it cannot be used to irrigate Anfeng. Then they will rush back to the city. This is what we want to fight against. Grab time."

Xiahou Dun's original expression appeared on his face, "Let me just say, the heavy rain is pouring, and the soldiers will all get stuck in the mud. How to start a war, it turns out that the master is referring to this fast."

Afterwards, he frowned and asked, "Then if Jiang Yiqu in Liyang City took advantage of this situation to attack Zhang Liao, it would be useless even if we took down Anfeng."

Guo Jia clasped his hands in front of him, and said calmly on his face: "The Northern Army in Liyang is not worried. Even if Lin Mo can enter Yecheng, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Mo to absorb all the Northern Army for his own use in a short period of time, otherwise Sikong It made me wait for the return journey.”

Thinking about it, the messenger from Xuchang only brought the news that the eldest brother took down Bingzhou and Lu Bulinmo entered Yecheng, and didn't say to let him return to the army. The eldest brother should have a plan in his chest.

After Xiahou Dun figured this out, he turned to ask: "Sir, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses can't directly encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but they may not be able to travel down the Yellow River to Xuzhou and come back to the front line. What about this section?" response?"

Guo Jia shook his head slowly, and said softly: "No, Lu Bu doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and he just conquered the Northern Kingdom, so he dare not transfer them all away, not to mention that our army has just lost more than 1 people, and morale is low On the other hand, Zhang Liao is leading a great victory and his prestige is in full swing, there is no need to send reinforcements at such a time."

The corner of Xiahou Dun's mouth twitched, you said that, my defeat was not bad.

"In the final analysis, it is a comparison with him, who can enter Anfeng City earlier." Guo Jia said in a muffled voice with half-closed eyes.

If it is too early, whoever enters the city may be flooded; if it is too late, the city has already changed hands.

Guo Jiating is willing to compare with the people behind Zhang Liao again, just to see who is faster and can control the battle situation more accurately.

And as long as Anfeng City is in hand, he can ignore the strategic restrictions of Yanhuiling, annex the eight counties south of Anfeng County one by one, and even extend his hand to Lujiang.

After taking Anfeng City, the previous losses can be made up for.

"If it's just faster than them, then I'm sure."

Xia Houdun said decisively: "The big deal is to recruit death squads at that time, block the foot of Yanhuiling Mountain, and fight with one's life to buy time for the army!"

So many people have died here in Anfeng, and now it is the most critical time, it is worth paying even some price.

Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to be still in deep thought and hadn't recovered, Xiahou Dun couldn't help asking, "Sir, do you have any other worries?"

"General, do you still remember how Shouchun was captured, and how Sikong captured Xiaoguan?"

Xiahou Dun was startled by Guo Jia's words, recalled it for a while, and then blurted out like an electric shock, "Maybe all the Lu troops in the city won't leave the city, they may leave a group of people pretending to be ordinary people!"

Guo Jia nodded slightly, and murmured: "If I use soldiers, I will definitely do so."

"Thanks for reminding me, sir."

Probably because he was so frightened by the defeat a few days ago, Xiahou Dun felt a lingering fear, and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, we will enter the city, and if we don't slaughter the city, we must drive all the people out of the city!"

The term massacre is no stranger to the old Cao family.

Although Guo Jia does not agree with this approach, it is undeniable that this is the most direct and effective method.

As a counselor, all he has to consider is success or failure. As for other things, it's best to take care of both.

Probably, there are no other questions. Guo Jia thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think there was anything missing, so he relaxed a little.

Knowing that Lu Bu and Lin Mo had successfully entered Yecheng, Zhang Liao went crazy. That was the Northern Kingdom. Lu Bu, who used to despise the Bingzhou brothers the most and was scolded by Yuan Shao as a border refugee, entered Yecheng smoothly and began to take over from Yuan Shao. The foundation of the family.

As the hero of Lu Jun, Zhang Liao felt the pleasure of slapping Hexi in the past 30 years.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao, who is under Jiuquan, knows this, and the coffin board will not be able to hold it down.

Of course, Yan Liangwen Chou couldn't empathize with them, their eyes were dull, neither happy nor sad.

After Yuan Shao's death, it seemed that he didn't care much about everything in the Northern Kingdom.

During the whole process, I just asked, who are the generals who died in the Eryuan War?

Knowing that Zhao Rui, Han Ju, Ma Yan and others were all killed in battle, the two of them really felt a burst of pain in their hearts, but their deaths all died in the battle for power between the two Yuans, at least on the surface. So in the end, I just lamented that things are right and people are wrong.

"Except for Jiang Yiqu, there are not many familiar faces left in the entire Northern Kingdom."

Wen Chou patted Yan Liang on the shoulder, and comforted him: "The eldest son is gone, there will be no more power struggles, I believe there is still a chance to have a good drink with him."

Zhang Liao glanced at the two of them. He didn't know Jiang Yiqu, so he felt unable to empathize, so he ran to share the good news with Jia Xu.

"Why are you not happy at all?" Looking at Jia Xu with a calm face, Zhang Liao expressed a little bewildered. Do you feel as bad for the Northern Army as Yan Liangwenchou?

"Don't you know who Lin Yunwen is, the general? After Yuan Tan's death, Marquis Wen's people have not yet withdrawn, so I know that this day will come sooner or later."

When Jia Xu said this, Zhang Liao felt that it was quite reasonable, but he still muttered that it was too unpleasant.

"General, Marquis Wen and Yunwen from the northern kingdom will definitely take care of it. Now we can't hold them back."

"Don't worry, sir, everything is ready. As long as the heavy rain falls, the soldiers will leave the city overnight. It is impossible for Cao Jun to come out in the rain to intercept and kill. This matter cannot be delayed."

Feeling disappointed, Zhang Liao sat down and leaned on the handrail under the gazebo and said in a muffled voice: "As soon as we leave, there will be no defenders left in the city, otherwise they will definitely dig the embankment and flood Anfeng. After the heavy rain stops, it depends on who will seize the city first, but there is no guarantee of victory in this regard."

Zhang Liao is a little worried about the terrain of Yanhuiling. The rain this year will come late, so it will definitely be more urgent than in previous years. Even if it does not cause landslides or the like, the army will be hindered in going down the mountain. Compared with Cao Jun, he will suffer a dark loss. .

"So, I have prepared three strategies for the general, for the general to consider."

Although Zhang Liao was nervous at times, he was able to do good deeds. Because of this, Jia Xu felt that there were things that he could not bury in his heart, and he could speak out boldly.

Moreover, if Cao Jun cannot be retreated quickly, in fact, there will be a risk of losing the city if it is delayed.

He knew very well that now it seemed that Lu Bulinmo had taken over the Northern Kingdom, but if he really wanted to mobilize the Northern Kingdom's army to fight, he would not be able to do so within half a year.

Therefore, only people like An Feng can be counted on.

"The plan will be released?" Zhang Liao immediately became interested.

"One strategy is correct. On the night of heavy rain, retreat to Yanhuiling, wait for the opportunity to return to Anfeng after the rain stops. Of course, this is to compete with Cao Jun;
The second strategy was a change. The army retreated to Yanhuiling according to the plan, but left some elites to pretend to be ordinary people. Cao Jun rushed into the city ahead of our army, and could not find out the problem in a short time. Defeat Cao Jun! "

"Wonderful!"

Before Jia Xu could say the third strategy, Zhang Liao felt that the fog in his mind was suddenly blown away just by the second strategy change, and his whole thinking became divided.

Cao Jun would never have imagined this arrangement, and it looks like a conspiracy. If you are afraid, well, don't go to the city, we will come back by ourselves, and there will be no loss in the end.

Beautiful, as expected of an old slut that my nephew is full of praise for, changing every single word, conjuring murderous intentions and concealing it, it can be called a stroke of genius.

Why didn't I think of it, I didn't think of it, damn it, it's a pity that I usually pretend to be false and true, but I didn't think of it!

"Okay! Let's follow Mr.'s plan!"

Ah, I have a third strategy, don't you ask?

You don't have to be so obedient.

Fortunately, Jia Xu doesn't have OCD, otherwise he would probably be suffocated to death.

Zhang Liao thought for a while, and if he wanted to say that the people who would stay as the internal response, it would have to be his six hundred personal guards. In terms of combat power, loyalty, and reaction, no one could be stronger than them.

Seeing that the heavy rain was approaching, Zhang Liao naturally had to hurry out to make arrangements. Before he left, he did not forget to add a sentence, "Sir, this second strategy should not be called a change, but a miracle. It is true and false."

"No, it can only be called strange if you use the third strategy."

Zhang Liao's right foot had already stepped out of the threshold, he was attracted by Jia Xu's words, he turned his head to look, was stunned for a while, then hurriedly turned back.

There are probably only four words in this world that interest Zhang Liao.

"Tell me quickly, how about the third strategy?"

"Don't worry, general, please follow me."

Jia Xu took him to the sand table in the inner hall, and immediately made some arrangements and deduction. When he finished his speech and looked at Zhang Liao again, he saw that the latter was completely stunned.

Isn't my third strategy better than the second? Jia Xu wondered why the general was indifferent.

In the next breath, Zhang Liao let out a long sigh, "So it was possible to do this, it was possible to do this, how could I have never imagined that I have been studying the virtual and the real for several years, but in front of Mr. I feel like I have never learned the art of war or the strategy.

Compared with Mr.'s strangeness just now, the second strategy is simply inferior. In terms of falsehood, reality and positiveness, I would like to call Mr. the strongest. "

Is Lin Mo good?The answer is yes.

However, Zhang Liao had heard about Lin Mo's use of troops, especially the use of strange soldiers, and had never seen it with his own eyes.

But Jia Xu really showed his operation in front of him, how can the impact of seeing and hearing be the same?
Zhang Liao was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Wonderful, it's so wonderful, creating something out of nothing, concealing the truth, bluffing the fake, this strategy is worthy of a strange word!"

Jia Xu raised Fu's forehead, the general needn't do this, it's just basic exercises.

"So, the general intends to use this strategy?" Jia Xu wanted to confirm further.

"Naturally, Anfeng's current situation cannot be better than Mr.'s plan!"

"The general praises you."

In fact, Jia Xu himself tends to use this method, so he wants to name it a strange word. In Jia Xu's opinion, there is nothing strange about the way of using soldiers. Fighting opportunities are fleeting, and inspiration comes. Yes, it is naturally strange.

It's just that Zhang Liao loves to listen. If Lu Bu were here instead, he would say that there are three strategies: up, middle and down.

Anyway, there is only one purpose, to defeat the enemy and keep yourself from being settled by Qiuhou.

Zhang Liao was a man of action who did what he said he would do, and he finally decided on the strategy without any hesitation, and immediately went down to deliver the order.

Two days later, the entire Anfeng began to rain heavily, as if it was pouring.

In this kind of weather, as soon as it got dark, Zhang Liao began to command the troops in the city to leave the city. If it was later, the horses and people would be trapped in the mud.

Even Cao Jun didn't dare to come and attack, but if the action was too slow, Jia Xu's clever plan might be seen through.

More than 8000 people filed out from the three gates, and finally disappeared in the vast rainy night.

Walking along the post road, the people and horses would not be trapped. Thanks to Jia Xu's foresight, he transferred all the food, grass and supplies in the city to Yanhuiling. Otherwise, in this weather, the carriage would definitely be trapped in the mud.

There are also advantages. In this extreme weather, there is no need to worry that Cao Jun's scouts will find their whereabouts. Even if this team is so large, the scouts cannot move freely under such visible conditions and road impassability.

Moreover, their team was divided into five groups, and they went through dense forests and mountain roads all the way, so their secrecy was still very strong.

Therefore, what Xiahou Dun heard from the scouts was only affirmation that Lu Jun had left Anfeng City and was heading towards Yanhuiling.

This was expected, but there was not much reaction.

The next thing is to wait, wait for the rain to stop, wait for the water level to drop, and then start to seize Anfeng!
