Lu's relatives

Chapter 603

Cai Zhongneng was entrusted with an important task by Liu Biao, but in fact he still has a few brushes.At least the family background is there, and if Liu Biao gets what he wants this time, then the Cai family is a foreign relative. For Liu Biao who came to Jingzhou alone back then, it may not be that he did not want to praise his wife's family to stabilize his own strength. .

And Cai Zhong's behavior is indeed quite satisfactory.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is steady and steady.The orderly command of the troops, the relationship with the Jingnan County soldiers and the Wuling barbarian soldiers is also quite good. Facing a Yuzhang County where Huang Zu restrained the troops of Danyang County and the rear was still empty, he did not have the slightest careless and radical thoughts. He turned a blind eye to all kinds of favorable siege conditions, true and false, and only followed Liu Biao's military orders.It can't be said that if it really keeps going on like this, and if it doesn't leak a single flaw, even Guo Jia may not have a good way to solve the siege of Yuzhang.After all, no matter what, the strategy is to win in the midst of changes, and it is always as tight as a tortoise shell. Apart from tense confrontation, there is really nothing to do with him in a short time.

Fortunately, Huang Zu's impulsiveness helped a lot.Liu Biao, who was already sure of winning, was really confused.Order Cai Zhong to capture Yuzhang County as soon as possible, return to the north, and attack with the main army from north to south to relieve the danger of the army being trapped in Danyang.And Cai Zhong, who always regarded Liu Biao's military order as an imperial decree, did not dare to disobey at all, and chose to follow it without careful consideration.After receiving the letter written by "Liu Biao", without doubting him, Dang even started to arrange the siege.Even if the soldiers around him told Cai Zhong that the chief general of the Wuling barbarians, Sha Moke, had not returned from "going out to visit friends", it did not attract Cai Zhong's attention.After only informing the commander of Jingnan County soldiers who came with him, the prefect of Wuling, Jin Xuan, immediately started the battle preparation operation.

Yuzhang City had been besieged for a long time, but Liu Biao's soldiers, who were only besieging and not attacking, made any movement, but it also made Qin Xu and Guo Jia, who were in Yuzhang City, heave a sigh of relief.I'm not afraid of you moving, even if the number of people is three times that of the guards in the city, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid it will be wasted without any action. There are still available military ration reserves. In addition, Lujiang County is now controlled by Liu Biao. Compared with Yuzhang, where there is not much food, and the supply line is nearly [-] miles long, the Jiangdong army really does not have the same reserve as Liu Biao’s army. heritage.

"Feng Xiao, Jiangdong's territory is your home field, and it's up to you from now on!" Qin Xu has a specialization in surgery, and Qin Xu is the most self-aware. To avoid some risks in battle, someone from Qin who has 2000 years of advanced knowledge may still be able to "cheat" to get along.However, if the two armies confront each other head-on, since the situation of the weak and the strong is still the case, there may be tens of thousands of casualties. Qin Xu thinks it is better to leave it to professionals.

"Zhongming is too modest, then Jia will overstep!" Guo Jia still looked indifferent, as if he didn't take the [-]-odd army under the city seriously.After nearly two years of cultivation in Jiangdong, the originally pale face became a little more rosy and Jiankang. Hearing Qin Xu's words of letting go of power, he nodded with a smile and said: "Zhongming is also tired, and he has already had a good plan to defeat the enemy. But he still wants Jialai to work hard, and this time he owes a big favor to a certain person."

"Don't worry, Feng Xiao, there are only the last two jars of fine wine in the Luoyang Palace, which have been hidden deep in the mansion by a certain person, and we will only drink with Feng Xiao when the world is in trouble, and Xu will never give it to others." The misunderstanding of many wise men is actually not a wonderful thing.Qin Xu just introduced to Guo Jia the identity of Wu Mei, who is like a bastard, and revealed some strange things about Wu Mei if he pointed it out. The original intention was to ask Guo Jia to help explain how to deal with the soft knife that this girl hides so deeply. , but unexpectedly, Guo Jia didn't give any good ideas and didn't say anything, but he seemed to have received some great inspiration. The look of "you know me well" almost didn't make Qin Xu's skin crawl.But it's not easy to ask myself how come I have a good plan, and I can only follow Guo Jia's last words and continue to bite the bullet and let nature take its course.Fortunately, Guo Jia did not continue to entangle on this issue. With Qin Xu's tone and monogram, he sent a letter to the old barbarian king, Wu Channa, telling him to hold Samoco no matter what, and at least move in Cai Zhong. Before the army, Shamoke could not be allowed to return to the camp. At the same time, among the newly recruited Wu Jun recruits, soldiers with a Jingnan accent sneaked into Cai Zhong's camp at night, so that Qin Xu vaguely understood Guo Jia's intentions.At the same time, I was a little ashamed.At the beginning, after seeing through Wumei's "nature", Qin Xu did have the idea of ​​doing something through the hands of the Shanyue Xindu Zongbu.But there is no such thing as Guo Jia who almost takes into account the mental dynamics of several people.He was also praised by Guo Jia as a confidant, even though Qin had a thick skin, he didn't dare to criticize him any more, and made up his mind to make a fortune silently.

The offensive of the Jing-Xiang Allied Forces was well-regulated. Although it was a military action of tens of thousands of people, it was meticulous and unprovoked, which made people feel a little dull.The regular siege, withdrawal, siege, and withdrawal, repeated this way, gave the impression that it was not so much a siege, but a rehearsal.Every time the Jing-Xiang Allied Army's offensive was only a taste of it, although the shouting was also murderous and many lives were lost in the city, but in fact the damage to Yuzhang County and the defenders was minimal, almost negligible.

Things are abnormal, and he must be a demon.Even Qin Xu, the two military knives, can see the abnormality of the Jingxiang coalition army, and all the generals in the city have their own considerations.Guo Jiana's face, which seemed to be indifferent to everything, was also a little dignified because of this.

Although Danyang soldiers used to be the best soldiers in the world, they were really elite soldiers, and they could treat any situation on the battlefield as normal, but they didn't worry about it.However, the newly recruited soldiers in Wu County had just entered the army after all. Although they were also brave, their mentality was worse.Originally, because of the siege of the Jing-Xiang coalition forces that were three times larger than his own, his mind was tense to the point of departure. During the siege with the Jing-Xiang coalition forces, which seemed to be a business-like siege, many deaths were caused by careless mistakes instead of fighting.After realizing at first glance that the opponent is actually not as tyrannical and difficult to fight as imagined, some arrogance and underestimation of the enemy inevitably appeared in his mind, so that the casualties were even greater.In just two days, nearly 200 people were lost.Even this kind of emotion has a tendency to spread.

"Feng Xiao, in your opinion, what is the intention of this group of people? They don't care about fighting, but they have no intention of retreating. Could it be that there are some masters in the army, and the plan of the arrogant soldiers who intend to wear down our army's combat power will not work. ?” The strange appearance in the army is a big taboo in this defenseless battle.It has even somewhat affected the fighting spirit of the Danyang soldiers who are the main force defending the city.For a while, people really couldn't figure out what the deep-seated intentions of the Jing-Xiang Allied Army's thunderous and rainy actions were.

"If there is an 'expert' trick, you can find out its context, check its flaws and break it. What Jia is most worried about is that Cai Zhong has no other intentions. He simply wants to use the superiority in numbers to fight a war of attrition with our army. Although It’s nothing new, but it just hit the weakness of our army’s lack of troops. It seems that Shanyue is going to step up its actions.” Guo Jia’s words clearly showed a trace of worry.In front of Qin Xu alone, Guo Jia did not put on the demeanor of a top strategist who always has everything in his mind, and revealed the omissions in the previous strategy.

"Well, what Feng Xiao said is true, but having said that, there are probably people who are more anxious than us. The old barbarian king of Shanyue Xindu, Wu Chan, may not be Sha Moke's opponent." What Guo Jia said meant that Qin Xu naturally understood.This time, if we want to use the weak to defeat the strong, if we go back to the root, we may still fall between the Shanyue Shengman and Wulingman who are entangled in a ball because of "grabbing territory".As the saying goes, the most effective way to break down a fortress is to break through from the inside. If Wulingman, who accounted for a quarter of the Jing-Xiang coalition forces, rose up from the rear, I believe it would be enough for Cai Zhong to drink a pot.At the very least, it was enough to buy enough time for Qin Xu's Jiangbei affairs, which he arranged early on. By then, Cai Zhong's still strong army of tens of thousands would become a burden, enough for Cai Zhong to burn out.

It seems that hope still falls on the mountain girl next to her.This time Wu Mei came to look for Qin Xu, and the excuse she used was to run away from marriage again.He really regarded Qin Xu's place as a safe haven.And just as Qin Xu said before when he "sees through" Wu Mei's true intentions, if he wants to take advantage of the situation to make a difference, he always has to pay some "price".Before, it was just a plan to tell Wu Mei, but now it seems that it is in the middle of the sentence. If Wu Mei or the problems facing the Shanyue Xindu Zongbu are not solved, I am afraid that even someone as wise as Guo Jia , this time the strategy is going to be fully successful, and it will take a lot of effort.

"Well, Miss Wumei is also the daughter of the barbarian king of Shanyue. In the Central Plains, she can be regarded as the daughter of a prince. In addition, she has a cute and cute personality. Zhongming is a gentleman. How could she have the heart to let the barbarian of Wuling take advantage of Miss Wumei. What's more Although the old man king's troops are called Nanman, they still admire the style of the Han family very much on weekdays. No matter how we look at it, we will do our best to help the barbarian king's current situation. Although the troops from outside the city are three times our army, and Yuzhang The city is small, but no matter what, there is still time for Zhongming to solve the Shanyue matter! Besides, with Zhongming's ability, even though Samoke is the next barbarian king of Wulingman, he will definitely not be Zhongming's opponent!" Guo Jia's slightly worried face just now disappeared suddenly, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. Suddenly, he changed the subject and said to Qin Xu, whose back was facing the door and window.

"Fengxiao is very true! Confucius said to be benevolent, and Meng said to take righteousness. Only righteousness can be exhausted, so benevolence is the best! For our army, the barbarian king has the merit of borrowing the way, and then has the help of determining the rules. How could Qin just sit by and watch people threaten him? Since Feng Xiao intends to stick to Yuzhang for half a month to relieve his worries, why does Qin want to work hard, and tomorrow he will go to find ebony plums and help the barbarian king together!" Qin Xu In the previous life, he had practiced the "unique skill" of observing words and expressions. Seeing Guo Jia's eyebrows twitching, although he didn't understand it, he knew there must be a reason, so he immediately said to Guo Jia without turning his head.
