Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

"Hehe..." Gan Ning gave a weird laugh, waving his sword and said, "I just want to give Jiang Xia to Liu Bei, otherwise how can I keep Liu Bei?"

"The last general still doesn't understand." Zhao Ba shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out.

Jiangxia is so important, why should it be given to Liu Bei?

Isn't this the enemy?

"This is what the military teacher taught me."

"If you save people and lose land, everyone will gain them. If you save land, you will lose people, and everyone will lose."

After Gan Ning finished speaking, seeing Zhao Ba's eyes blank, he couldn't help but patted the other party's shoulder, "I told you to read more, I don't understand such a simple truth."

"I..." Zhao Ba shrank his neck aggrieved.

He grew up in a poor family and made a living by blacksmithing.

If he could read, he wouldn't have been bullied in Xuchang, and his family would have been ruined.

It will not even get acquainted with the benefactor!

"General, just tell me about it, and let me know the great wisdom of my benefactor," Zhao Ba said.

"Alright." Gan Ning nodded and said, "Those two sentences were actually addressed to Liu Bei."

"If Liu Bei retains his strength and does not occupy Jiangxia, then there will be no danger, and he will even be able to make a comeback in the future. After all, Liu Bei is famous, and there are countless people who respond."

"But if Liu Bei is not greedy enough and tries to occupy Jiangxia, he will not only lose the troops he finally recruited, but even if he gets Jiangxia, he will not be able to keep it."

"Furthermore, what about Liu Bei's occupation of Jiangxia? The [-] soldiers and horses who later supported Jiangxia were all old, weak, sick and disabled. strength."

"At that time, Liu Bei will lose everyone and land, and the loss will be heavy! He may even lose his life because of it!"

As Gan Ning spoke, he couldn't help but remember the scene that the military advisor told him at that time.

It was only after the military adviser explained it several times that he understood.

The gain or loss of one city and one place is not important.

What matters is the final victory.

That's why he obediently followed the counselor's plan and gave Jiang Xia directly to Liu Bei.

indeed.

Sending such a heavy city to Liu Bei, the change of direction enhanced Liu Bei's strength.

But at the same time, Liu Bei was also tied up in Jiangxia City.

In this way, it is much easier to clean up a bound Liu Bei than to chase down a fleeing Liu Bei.

Gan Ning also had to sigh with emotion, a military advisor is a military advisor.

How could he come up with such an ingenious plan.

He opened up another brand new way of warfare.

When Gan Ning sighed, Zhao Ba nodded in understanding.

"Forget it, I'm still responsible for killing the enemy."

"Let Engong do the brainstorming."

Zhao Ba said helplessly.

Gan Ning glanced at Zhao Ba with a half-smile but couldn't help shaking his head.

"Okay, the time has come, it's time for us to come on stage and give Liu Bei a big surprise."

He looked at Zhao Ba and shouted, "Zhao Ba."

"The last commander is here." Zhao Ba's expression froze, and he hurriedly answered.

"I order you to lead [-] soldiers and horses to Xiakou, block Zhang Fei's retreat, and contact the soldiers and horses in the port to attack from front and back."

"But remember, only besiege, not attack."

Gan Ning ordered.

"Ah? Why?" Zhao Ba was stunned.

Zhang Fei had only [-] people.

As a result, he took [-] people, only to besiege or not to attack?

What makes sense!

Gan Ning glared at Zhao Ba: "Where there is so much nonsense, hurry up."

"The last general is just unhappy. My ten thousand soldiers and horses can instantly destroy Zhang Fei's three thousand people."

"Besides, I also want to meet Zhang Yide from Yan."

Zhao Ba said and waved his weapon.

"This is called besieging the city to help. I told you to block Zhang Fei so that Liu Bei could send troops to rescue him."

"I want to set up an ambush on the road to annihilate Liu Jun!"

"Compared to Zhang Fei's three thousand soldiers and horses, there are more soldiers and horses coming to the rescue. Only by doing this can we eliminate the most living force of Liu Bei outside the city!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but explain.

Zhao Ba nodded, this time he understood.

Killing enemies, of course, the more the better.

"No, it will be gone."

Zhao Ba nodded, ordered ten thousand soldiers and horses, and went straight to Xiakou. .

Chapter 108

After Zhao Ba led [-] soldiers and horses away, Gan Ning scattered the remaining [-] soldiers and horses, arranged heavy infantry and crossbowmen at the key crossings where Liu Bei's reinforcements must go, and sent cavalry to flat terrain. When the reinforcements arrived, they first attacked with cavalry, forcing Liu Bei's army to take a path.

Once Liu Bei's army entered the trail, the bowmen and arrows were fired in unison, even if Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and other generals led the army, there was nothing they could do.

He himself led [-] troops, bypassed Jiangxia, and made a long-distance attack on Echeng.

As long as the city of E is taken, it will cut off Liu Bei's retreat.

At that time, it would be even more difficult for Liu Bei to escape.

An arrangement is over.

military action.

After half an hour.

Zhao Ba led the army to three miles outside Xiakou.

From a distance, he could see the simple tent set up by Zhang Fei's three thousand soldiers and horses.

After all, Zhang Fei led the army to pretend to attack Xiakou without bringing too much baggage.

Each soldier also brought rations for two days.

The three thousand soldiers, divided into three groups by Zhang Fei, went to Xiakou in turn to beat drums and shout with great momentum.

However, there is a defensive urn in Xiakou Port, and there are arrow towers on it. Although there are only more than [-] defenders, there is no problem in resisting Zhang Fei's attack.

In addition, the Xiakou guard can't hold on, and when the gate is closed, Zhang Fei can't get in at all.

The two sides stalemate like this.

"Report!"

At this time, Zhang Fei was resting in the tent when suddenly a hurried voice came from outside.

Zhang Fei was awakened.

Angrily looked at the messenger who came in.

"General Qi, according to the sentry report, there is a Cao army horse behind our army." The messenger was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

"what!"

Zhang Fei was startled, and hurriedly got up from the wooden bed, grabbed his own snake spear and walked outside.

"How many troops did Cao Jun come?"

Zhang Fei asked while sobering up.

"About ten thousand people."

Hearing the reply from the messenger, Zhang Fei's heart sank.

Ten thousand Cao troops.

How could so many people suddenly appear behind him?

Could it be reinforcements sent from Jiangxia City?

wrong!

The second brother led the army to block the reinforcements in Xiling. With the strength of the second brother, coupled with Zhuge Liang's fire attack strategy, Jiangxia's reinforcements would definitely not be rushed here.

So what happened to this Cao army?

Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he is not stupid.

He had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to think deeply.

soon.

Zhang Fei rode behind the army and saw the flag in the distance.

Write the word Zhao on it.

"Under Cao Cao, I have never heard of a general surnamed Zhao." Zhang Fei was full of doubts.

He turned his head and looked at the messenger beside him, "Do you know who the leader of Cao's army is?"

"My subordinates don't know, but this person is tall and has a fierce face, so it is definitely not easy to deal with." The messenger replied.
