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

"When Cao Ren is attacking the city, the lord can lead the militia to abandon the city, and Cao Ren will definitely send troops to chase and kill him. In this way, Cao Ren will divide his troops, and there will not be too many Cao troops temporarily stationed in Xinye City."

"Taking this opportunity, the army that turned into civilians in the city suddenly rushed out, killing Cao Jun by surprise, and re-occupied Xinye City. When Cao Ren hears this news, he will definitely lead his troops back to the city to rescue."

"The lord can fight back with the army and attack Cao Ren's army with the defenders in the city. In this way, our army can win."

In Xu Shu's eyes, the light of wisdom flashed.

Cao Ren has a lot of soldiers. If they want to defeat Cao Ren, only by forcing Cao Ren to divide his troops can they divide and attack him.

"This plan is very good!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

He regained his confidence in Xu Shu again.

Yes, the military division's first loss was just an accident.

"Xu Shu, how do you know that Cao Ren will divide his troops to pursue the elder brother? What if Cao Ren does not divide his troops to pursue him? Even if Cao Ren does divide his troops, how can they resist Cao Ren's cavalry onslaught with these five or six thousand militiamen he just recruited?"

Zhang Fei shouted at the side.

Militia, to put it nicely, are logistical and heavy soldiers, and to put it uglier, they are people who have no land and no food.

Joining the army is just for a meal.

No fighting power at all.

"What the third brother said is very true!" Guan Yu nodded in agreement.

"Even if Cao Ren doesn't know it, his generals will definitely know it. Let me ask the two generals, if Cao Cao is outside the city, will the two generals chase or not?"

"As for how to resist Cao Ren's cavalry, it is only necessary for the lord to order people to throw gold and silver property along the way to slow down his position. The lord can lead the army to retreat to Shekou, and ambushed on both sides of the strait. When Cao's army is chasing, the lord and General Zilong can lead the army to split up. If you kill him, you will make Cao Jun's head and tail difficult to care about, and you will definitely win."

Zhang Fei wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Liu Bei.

He acted quite decisively, waved his hand and said, "Just act according to the counselor's plan."

in a blink.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Cao Ren led the troops to harass Xinye every day. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer troops in the city, he felt that the time was almost up.

Immediately left [-] troops to stay in Fancheng, and personally led [-] elites to attack Xinye, and strive to achieve it in one battle.

And Liu Bei also followed Xu Shu's plan completely, and his generals, except for Zhao Yun, who had recovered most of his injuries, followed him out of the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stayed in the city and was in charge of commanding [-] troops.

As for why it was [-], it was because Liu Bei felt that it was not safe for him to be protected by more than [-] militiamen, so he took out [-] soldiers and horses and left with him.

soon.

Xinye Castle was broken.

Liu Bei led the remnants of the army out from the south gate, and because the militia had not been trained much, it seemed that the army was chaotic and there was no military formation at all.

Before long, he ran away without a trace.

Cao Ren led a group of generals to stand on the tower, watching Liu Bei's army go away under the sunset, all of them laughed.

It's just that Cao Ren still thinks it's a little strange, and it took only half a day to win Xinye, which is too easy to win.

However, Cao Ren is a well-known defensive general. He still has a lot of experience in terms of city defense and military deployment, so he just needs to be careful.

"General, now that Liu Bei has abandoned the city and fled, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it. If we can catch Liu Bei, it will be a great achievement."

Beside Cao Ren, several Cao army generals looked at him eagerly.

"This..." Cao Ren hesitated.

After all, Cao Cao's words were still in his ears.

He immediately said: "The order the lord gave me is to occupy Xinye. Now that I have completed it, there will be no more troubles."

Several generals were in a hurry.

"General, such a great opportunity must not be missed."

"The lord has always regarded Liu Bei as a confidant. If we let him run away like this, how can we treat the lord when we go back?"

Even Li Dian was moved.

Because they are different from Cao Ren.

Cao Ren is now the commander-in-chief of the first army, and he is also the younger brother of Cao Cao.

"General, why don't I bring [-] troops to hunt down Liu Bei. Even if he loses, it won't affect the overall situation." Li Dian said.

Cao Ren thought about it for a while. As the commander in chief, he really couldn't stop his generals from making meritorious deeds.

Then he nodded and said, "Then you will lead ten thousand troops and go after Liu Bei."

"Thank you, General."

A group of Cao Jun generals handed over excitedly, and then quickly followed Li Dian and ordered troops out of the city.

After Li Dian left, Cao Ren had the city gates closed and began to arrange city defenses.

in the dark.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei gathered together and saw that Li Dian had indeed led [-] troops out of the city.

Now there are [-] Cao Cao troops in the city, and they have [-] soldiers and horses under them.

The disparity in strength is not too great.

Under the sudden attack, the odds of winning are high.

(In Romance, Xu Shu is very powerful. Although the protagonist has foresight, Cao Cao reminds Cao Ren, but in terms of strategy, Cao Ren really can't beat Xu Shu. Of course, this chapter also has elements of artistic processing.)

(Just the sauce, the author continues to code.).

Chapter 29

That night.

Cao Ren was resting in the mansion, and suddenly heard the sound of killing all around, shouting in the sky, and suddenly woke up from the bed, put on his armor and pushed open the door, asking, "What happened?"

"General, it was Liu Bei's army that took advantage of our unpreparedness and attacked the camp overnight. Our troops and horses were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses." A messenger with blood on his body rushed in and knelt in front of Cao Ren and said.

"what!"

Cao Ren was shocked and said angrily, "Then Liu Bei's army has been driven out of the city long ago, where did Liu Bei's army come from?"

"Liu Bei's army disguised as the commoners and hid in their homes. Because you, General, ordered you to treat the common people well, we didn't investigate the common people too much, and this caused a catastrophe."

The messenger said with a sad face.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little dejected.

Since the lord unified the north and claimed to be the prime minister, he has started to manage the hearts of the people.

Not only does it lighten the burden of the people under its control, but it also reduces the burden on the people under its control, and even recruiting troops is one out of ten.

He wanted to follow the example of the lord. In order to win the hearts of the people in Xinye City, he treated the people quite kindly, but unexpectedly, he made a big mistake.

"It's no wonder that the lord often says that although Liu Bei has few soldiers, he is a great enemy in his life."

"It's all because Liu Bei is good at using people's hearts."

"What I lost to was not Liu Bei, but the hearts of the people."

Cao Ren, who had regained his senses, gave a wry smile.

However, after all, he was a battle-hardened person, so he quickly calmed down: "Send an order, the whole army will withdraw from Xinye City in an orderly manner, and there is no need to entangle with Liu Bei's army."

"No." The messenger went down with blood.

at the same time.

Li Dian also led the troops to Shekou.

Originally, he could have caught up with the thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, but along the way, Liu Bei's army threw away baggage and property, and walked on a rugged mountain road. The road was narrow and steep, and it was difficult for cavalry to pass. The baggage was blocked, which caused the marching speed to be too slow.

After reorganizing the military discipline, clearing the roads, and chasing him overnight, he found that Liu Bei's army had gone into the woods ahead and disappeared.

Here, the terrain on both sides of the strait is steep, and the road in the middle is narrow, which is not conducive to the passage of troops and horses, and it is easy to ambush.

Immediately, he planned to return to Xinye with his army.

But the generals under his command did not agree.

After all, after chasing it for a long time, it is hard to catch up with Liu Bei, and the great achievement is in front of you, who is willing to give up?

"Why should the general be so cautious, then Liu Bei is only a few thousand remnants of the army. At this time, there are already six gods and no masters. Where can he set up an ambush?"

"Yes, the general ordered it. As long as Liu Bei is captured, it will be a great credit."

Not to mention the subordinate generals, even those soldiers also made a noise.

Li Dian frowned.

After some deliberation, he said, "Niu Jin, you lead seven thousand troops to capture Liu Bei, and I will assist you later."

"No." Niu Jin was ecstatic, and after handing over his hands, holding a big axe, he ordered his troops and horses and couldn't wait to chase in.

Li Dian has been waiting outside Shekou.

Not long after, I heard the sound of people screaming horses, and the complexion suddenly changed.

"No, I am ambushed."

He was about to go to support, but saw an elite soldier coming out from the side.

It was Zhao Yun who led the only two thousand troops to come.

It turned out that it was Xu Shu who discovered that Cao Jun hadn't fully entered Shekou and that Li Dian was not in the army, so he immediately changed his mind, letting Zhao Yun ignore Cao Jun in Shekou and go to ambush Li Dian.

As long as Li Dian is defeated, Cao's army will be defeated without attacking.

"Zhao Yun!"

When Li Dian saw the white horse and the silver spear, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Half a month ago, Zhao Yun broke through the formation, leaving a deep impression on him.

In terms of martial arts, he is not an opponent at all.
