Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 654
"so what?"

Zhang Xian said disapprovingly, "No matter how fierce the bandits attack, we will have no problem defending for seven or eight days. Although Hanshou is in Wuling, it is only a hundred miles away from Linxiang City. Reinforcements can arrive at any time." .”

Speaking of this, he paused, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, looked at the generals, and said meaningfully: "In fact, up to now, I really hope that the bandits can attack me in Linxiang today!"

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled, Fan Ling was about to ask a question, but Zhang Xian had already waved his hand, and immediately got up, and slowly walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

For some reason, at this moment Fan Ling suddenly felt that the back of his eunuch was a little desolate.

Perhaps it was because Wang Zheng's achievements in the past few years were too elite, no matter if he was a veteran general like Zhang Xian, or a mighty man like Wenpin, he had made up his mind to stick to Linxiang and wait for the army to finish before fighting. On the night of his birthday, he sent a letter to Zhang Xian, saying that Wang Yukou is always fond of showing weakness, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are outside the city, and how loud the enemy is, they must never take the initiative to go out of the city to seek field battles.

While everyone in Jingzhou was discussing, outside Linxiang City, the generals of Yangzhou were also discussing the war. The participants not only included Wei Yan who had just arrived, but even Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai from the north of the city also crossed the river.

At this moment, in the small handsome tent, four generals of the heavenly army were assembled at the same time.

Xu Fang naturally sat in the main seat, with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan on the left, and Zhou Tai on the right. After all, there were some middle-level generals such as captains and uncles, and there were about twenty people sitting in the hall.All are fully draped.

The sunlight outside the tent penetrated, reflecting the armor on their bodies dazzlingly.

"The Nanchang military order originally ordered us to set up camp outside the city. It is best to lure some reinforcements from the Jingzhou Army to attack, destroy their reinforcements first, and then fall into the city."

Looking at everyone, Xu Fang said in a deep voice: "However, our army has besieged the city for nearly seven days, but we have not seen him. Jingzhou soldiers and horses have entered Changsha. Move, this is a bit difficult."

Hearing this, Huang Zhong asked: "General Xu, has the commander of the reinforcement army found out who it is?"

"I found out." Xu Fang said: "Speaking of it, he is still an acquaintance. This person's name is Wenpin, and he is not a few years older than me. When Yuzhou attacked Yuan Shu, I fought side by side with him." "

"That's not surprising."

Huang Zhong suddenly looked serious, and said: "Although Wenpin is young, he is very calm, and he is a general who has mastered the art of war, General Xu, I am afraid that this son has seen through our strategy of 'siege the city and fight for aid'. "

"I also expected so." Xu Fang nodded slightly, "According to the reports from the frontline scouts, not only Nanjun, but also several troops from Wuling are rushing to Changsha, and even Lingling in the south seems to have moved, like a sword Referring to Liling, if Liling is taken back, our army's flanks will be unstable; if all reinforcements from Jingzhou arrive, our army's capture of Linxiang will inevitably come to naught. The situation is changing, and I secretly think that we The side should also adjust its strategy accordingly.”

"I called you here today to discuss this matter."

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan did not speak up. Although Xu Fang's current official position is higher than theirs, they are both generals in the world after all. They are far superior to Xu Fang in terms of age. It is okay to ask them to obey Xu Fang's military orders, but If he really wanted to bow his head to his ears like a subordinate general, he would never let go of that face.

The two of them hesitated, but Zhou Tai didn't, immediately got up slightly, his voice was full of respect: "General Xu thinks, how should our army adjust its strategy?"

"As the saying goes, ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand."

Xu Fang glanced at Zhou Tai, smiled and said: "Compared with it, Jingzhou's reinforcements are the former, and Linxiang is the latter. Since Wenpin's troops don't come, we can't get help, then we can't help." Just conquer Linxiang first!"

After a pause, he said, "As long as Linxiang can be captured, even if the Jingzhou Army of the Jingzhou Army comes, our army will at least be invincible. What does Colonel Zhou think?"

Zhou Taideng showed hesitation, "Then Zhou Mu's previous military order?"

"I have already written this matter in the military newspaper and ordered Kuai Ma to report back to the general. But after all, this place is a bit far from Nanchang, and it will take three or four days to go back and forth."

Xu Fang said solemnly: "The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted. If he has no opinion and obeys the emperor's order, even if Bai Qi is resurrected, Huaiyin is reborn, and confronts the enemy, it may not be possible to win without defeat."

"This"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer, Wei Yan even rolled his eyes, and slandered in his heart: You and the lord are friends of the general manager, and you are free and affectionate. If you really want to be so bold, Maybe it's not a big deal, but if I also accompany you to "the general's life is not accepted", and the lord asks the crime in the future, what should I do?
Of course he didn't know that even with Xu Fang's status, he would never have the courage to change the military order of the king's government without authorization, so he immediately answered: "Of course, we must change our strategy at the front line. The general asked for instructions. I have written this matter in the military newspaper. If you have no objections, I will send Kuaima back to Nanchang immediately. However, there is a distance from Nanchang after all, and it will take three or four days to go back and forth. Kung fu, conquest on the battlefield, the opportunity to fight is fleeting, but you can't wait."

Isn't that still self-determination?
Huang Zhong turned his head and looked at Wei Yan behind him. After a while, he pressed his knife and asked: "General Xu has even written the military report. He must have a good plan in mind. The general wants to ask, how should we proceed?"

Xu Fangdao: "When attacking a city, it is best to attack by force. It is the best policy to subdue the enemy's army without fighting. According to the current situation, it is impossible to subdue the enemy without fighting; but it is not advisable to attack by force. According to this general's plan , we should take the middle policy."

Wei Yan immediately asked: "What is the middle policy?"

"Lure the enemy out of the city and fight with them in the field."

"Luring the enemy out of the city?"

Wei Yanda didn't take it seriously. If he hadn't forgotten the relationship between the person in front of him and Wang Zheng, he would have sneered: "Our army has been besieging the city for many days, and Changsha prefect Zhang Xian has never stayed out of the house. He is clearly determined to stick to it. This person sent people to help him in ambush on the front line before, and he was defeated not long ago, under such circumstances, General Xu still wants to lure him out of the city and fight with him in the field?"

"Hey, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Wei Yan's tone of innocence didn't excite Xu Fang at all, he just smiled lightly after hearing the words: "I have heard a little about Zhang Xian, and I heard that he was a party member as early as ten years ago. Sheriff."

As he spoke, he turned to Gu Huang Zhong and asked, "General Huang, is that so?"

"That's right." Huang Zhong said, "Zhang Xian was the prefect of Lingling before Zhongping, and he was the prefect of Guiyang after Liu Biao, and now the prefect of Changsha. He has always been prestigious and popular."

Xu Fang nodded, and asked again: "I don't know what kind of character this person is?"

"Spirituality?"

Huang Zhong was slightly taken aback, frowned, recalled for a while, and said slowly: "You should be a resolute and resolute person."

"It's the same when I think about it." Xu Fang said with a smile: "Masters, please think about it. In the past ten years, Jingzhou Mu has changed four times, but Zhang Xian, the eunuch, is standing still. How could he not have some ability?"

"He has ability, ability, and has been in a high position for ten years. How can he not be high-spirited, sitting on tens of thousands of horses, but being besieged by our army, if Nanjun did not send reinforcements, maybe he will learn a lot of wisdom and stick to it. Not out, but now?"

"Wenpin is here, and he is still in Hanshou not far away. This greatly reduces the possibility of Linxiang's fall, and at the same time, it also relieves the pressure in Zhang Xian's heart. Everyone, if you are Zhang Xian, what would you do? idea?"

Everyone was stunned, Wei Yan thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Want to take the blame and make meritorious service?"

"That's right," Xu Fang laughed: "However, the wording is inappropriate. For Zhang Xian, it should be said to be revenge and save face."

Said Gu Pan everyone: "I dare say, this must be Zhang Xian's mentality at this time!"

"Don't look at him being stable in the city, it's because he has no opportunity to take advantage of it. Don't you think that Zhang Xian is really willing to let reinforcements from other counties and counties in Jingzhou come to rescue Changsha? Yes, if the army from Jingzhou arrives, Changsha will be in danger. Most of them have been relieved, but if this is the case, what prestige will Zhang Xian have in the future, how can he convince the public, and how can he continue to be the prefect of Changsha?"

"So, he must seem safe now, but he is actually eager to avenge his hatred and save face. If my prediction is correct, Zhang Xian may not dare to take the initiative to go out to fight in the city, but he must be looking forward to us attacking the city now. If we repel our army's offensive, no matter how you say it, it will be a credit, right?"

This analysis is reasonable, and everyone nodded. Huang Zhong thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask again: "General Xu also said that Hanshou is not far from Linxiang. If we attack the city, there will be disturbances." It is bound to be known by Wenpin, if this son sees the clue, how about intervening to stop Zhang Xian?"

"It's Wenpin's reminder, will Zhang Xian listen?" Xu Fang asked back: "Does General Huang think that Zhang Xian will take such a junior like Wenpin seriously?"

Huang Zhong was silent when he heard the words.

That's right, not to mention Wenpin, not even Cai Mao, but he had heard that Zhang Xian was not obedient and obedient when the momentum reached its peak after Liu Biao put down the sect thieves.

Hearing this, all the generals had no objection, and they all expressed their agreement. Looking at Xu Fang, who was sitting high on the throne, his demeanor was calm and his eyes were more confident, Huang Zhong couldn't help but secretly sighed.

It is also the main character of the protagonist, in comparison, this one is much better than the other one.

This is quite right. After several years of experience, Xu Fang now has not only the style of a general, but also the weapon of a general.

"Art of War 24" states that generals are divided into six types based on the size of their weapons.

Detect traitors, wait for disasters, and be subdued by all. This is the general of the ten men: If one person can detect the treachery of others, see the hidden dangers and disasters of things, and be more convinced by his subordinates, this kind can lead ten people. team.

Xing Xing sleeps late at night, carefully observes his words, this general of a hundred men: If he gets up early and goes to bed late, works hard all day long on official business, speaks cautiously, and can listen to the voices of his subordinates, he can lead a team of hundreds of people.

Straightforward and thoughtful, brave and capable of fighting, this general of a thousand men: being upright and far-sighted, brave and good at fighting, so that he can lead a team of thousands of men.

Huanhuan in appearance, strong in heart, knows people's hard work, knows people's hunger and cold, this general of Wanfu: mighty in appearance, bright personality, can understand others' hard work and hard work, and can care about the hunger and cold of others, this kind of general is Wanfu A general who can command an army of ten thousand people.

Entering the virtuous and capable, being cautious every day, being honest and magnanimous, and being idle in ordering chaos, the generals of the 10 people: those who can promote virtuous and capable people, who are constantly enriching themselves through virtue and practice, and are loyal, trustworthy, tolerant, and magnanimous , Good at governing troubled times, such a general is a general of 10 people.

As for the highest one, the general of the world, the requirements are also the most stringent, not only to "know astronomy from the top, observe human emotions from the middle, and geography from the bottom", but also "within the four seas, treat them as family members, benevolent and loving in the world, and be faithful and obedient in neighboring countries."

Xu Fangneng made tailor-made countermeasures based on the status, status, and even personality of the enemy general Zhang Xian.

Of course, he does not have other conditions for the time being, so he can only say that he has the bearing of a "general of the world", but he does not have the ability of a "general of the world".

And using these six kinds of "generals" to compare the generals of the Heavenly Army who are in the same account at the moment, except for Huang Zhong who can be counted as a general of ten thousand people, neither Zhou Tai nor Wei Yan are actually far behind.

Wei Yan's resourcefulness is not a problem, but he is a bit narrow in terms of tolerance, Zhou Tai's temperament is a bit better, but he lacks in intelligence, so they can only be regarded as generals of thousands of people.

Let’s talk about Zhang Xian. He has been able to stand for more than ten years. Obviously, he is very competent as a prefect of a county. But if you think about it from the perspective of a military strategist, if you use the comparison of the six futures, he may be at most a general of ten thousand people.

With tens of thousands of people against one hundred thousand generals in the future, it is like Liu Bang at the end of Qin Dynasty using Han Xin, Guan Ying, and Cao Shen to attack Wei.

At that time, Li Shiqi had just returned from his envoy to Wei, and Liu Bang asked him, "Who is the general of Wei?" Li Shiqi said, "Bai Zhi." Liu Bang dismissed it, and said, "It's a mouthful of milk, and An Neng is Han Xin." Who is the cavalry general?" Li Shiqi replied: "Feng Jing." Liu Bang said: "It is the Qin general Feng Wu who chooses a son. "Answered: "Xiang Tuo." Liu Bang was very happy and said: "I can't be Cao Shen. I am safe!"

Before that, Han Xin also asked Shi Qi: "Wei De is useless, is Uncle Zhou a general?" Li Sheng said: "Bai Zhi is also."

Therefore, from a strategic point of view, if the general of the reinforcements is not Wenpin, the famous "undefeated" general, judging from the current confrontation between the top officers of the two armies in Changsha, Xu Fang is obviously better than Zhang Xian, and the fall of Linxiang may be time issue.

It's just that there are no ifs in life, Wenpin has come.

"Great goodness."

Xu Fang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I will send Kuaiqi back to Nanchang. Everyone, please be prepared, this time."

"I'm going to provoke Zhang Xian again and lure him into a wild fight!"
