Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 675
Hearing Guo Yong's explanation, Huang Ye also understood, "The implication is that the prefect wants to welcome Guan Yu into the city?"

"It is true." Guo Yongdao: "However, I sent someone out of the city to invite Guan Yu to Liu Bei's camp, but he did not agree."

"Oh?"

This was beyond Huang Ye's expectations. Speaking of which, during this period of time, Guan Yu had fought several battles with the Xuzhou army outside the city, and even won consecutive battles. It can even be said that if the battle did not change suddenly, Guan Yu alone would have been able to solve the problem. Jiangling is in danger, and judging from his performance, he is indeed coming with a heart of assistance, and he is a trustworthy ally!
That being the case, why do you not want to enter the city?
"General Guan has his considerations." Guo Yong said: "He asked the emissary to bring a reply letter, which said that although the Xuzhou Army has suffered repeated setbacks in recent days, the main force has not been damaged, the morale of the army has not been broken, and it still has the strength to fight. , As for voluntarily withdrawing from the camp for more than [-] miles, and hanging up the exemption card, it seems to be afraid of war, but in fact it is conserving strength and ready to go. If it is not bad, it should be waiting for follow-up reinforcements."

"Follow-up reinforcements?"

Huang Ye asked if he had realized something: "Is General Guan referring to Huang Zhong, who was in Tang Dynasty?"

"It should be so," Guo Yong nodded slightly: "Please think about it, Mr. Huang. Huang Zhong's troops have just won a big victory, and their momentum is sharp. If they go north, they will definitely be menacing. Once they join forces with the enemy outside the city, they will threaten Jiangling. It's really not small!"

"So General Guan thinks that if he wants to defeat him as soon as possible, the best strategy is to use a strong city to dampen his spirit first, and then use the elite to attack suddenly, taking advantage of the chaos in his position."

At this time, Huang Ye had already reacted, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting: "Miaozai, at this time, our army will dispatch from the city again, and attack the friendly army outside the city!"

"That's right." Guo Yong said in a deep voice: "General Guan doesn't want to enter the city because he has a strategy in mind, and the letter even stated that the purpose of raising troops to help us this time is not only to relieve the danger of our southern county, but also to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop. !"

"What a good way to break the thief in one fell swoop, General Guan is a real hero!"

Huang Ye clapped his hands in praise when he heard the words, but turned his head and thought of a verse: "But the prefect, the bandit army now knows that General Guan is stationed outside the city, and has fought against him several times. He knows his abilities well, and they will join forces after Huang Zhong's troops arrive. Siege, I am afraid that there will be precautions, and it may not be easy to form a surprise attack."

"General Guan has also thought of this."

Guo Yong stroked the long beard under his lips, laughed and said, "So next, General Guan will arrange for a troop to enter the city, and we must cooperate to create a big momentum, create the illusion that he has led the army into the city, and at the same time cover up the banner and change the camp, so Then you can hide it from the bandit army and become a surprise soldier."

"Of course, this army will leave the city soon after entering the city. General Guan even said that this time, the focus of breaking the thieves is outside the city rather than inside, so I hope our army will also send some troops out of the city with them."

"Let us also send some soldiers and horses out of the city? How many?"

"General Guan came to aid this time, and he only brought 3000 troops. According to him, if he wants to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, there must be at least [-] surprise soldiers outside the city."

"That is to let us divide up two thousand soldiers and horses?"

Hearing this, Huang Ye couldn't help frowning: "The prefect has sent 2000 troops to support Jinxiang before, but now there are not many defenses in the city. Even including your Guangzong army, the total is only 6000 troops. If another 4000 people are allocated to General Guan, wouldn’t there be only [-] left? Isn’t it insufficient to defend Jiangling with such a force?”

Guo Yong smiled wryly: "To conquer the enemy, even if it's not enough, that's all I can do."

Huang Ye was silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice: "Then may I ask the prefect, if the bandit army invades again, how do you plan to use the 4000 troops to defend?"

Since it is necessary to attack internally and externally and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, when Guan Yu's surprise army is launched is extremely critical. It is best to be at the critical moment of the siege, when the Xuzhou army is overwhelmingly pressing; Sudden joining will have the greatest impact on the battle situation, and at the same time, it also means that the rear is empty and it is not easy to retreat.

And to accomplish these two points, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that Jiangling City cannot be defeated in one blow!
"There is no need to say too much about the fortification in the city, just highlight a 'toughness'."

Guo Yong thought hard for several days, and naturally he also considered this point: "In addition, in order to command the army to fight, I decided to go to the military camp in the city to stay overnight and work from now on. The same is true for civil and military personnel. It is the county mansion. In this way, one will have the same desires, and the other will be beneficial to control the entire army. As for the third, the barracks are not too far from the north and west gates. If the Xuzhou army invades again, they are most likely to It is these two city gates that are attacking, and it is also beneficial to dispatch troops in due course according to the battle situation."

"Besides, the most important aspect of defense is condescension. Mr. Huang, I plan to raise the watchtowers at the four corners of the city gate after dredging the moat, and build a few more to increase the power of my defenders' arrows."

"In addition, for the defense outside the city, I want to build a camp on a high place in the east of the city in addition to Jin Township. In this way, there will be two strongholds outside the city, which happen to be in line with Jiangling. With the angle of the situation, the two places can not only play a warning role, making it difficult for the enemy to encircle; but also can implement mobile forces, no matter where the Xuzhou army approaches the city from any direction, they can encircle and counterattack."

"There are two strongholds outside the city?"

Huang Ye pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands again and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, Mozi said: 'All heretics can make a fortress to make it difficult for them to invade; the worst thing is to build three pavilions, three corners of the pavilion, Zhinu, so that they can save each other. 'The so-called 'Weaver Girl' means that the pavilion has three corners, shaped like a three-star corner row of Weaver Girl, and the prefect's move can be said to be deeply in line with the way of defense."

"It's just that if this is the case, wouldn't the 4000 people have to divide the troops again? I wonder how the prefect plans to distribute the troops?"

Guo Yong smiled, raised his arms and palms, and gave Huang Ye five instructions: "How does Huang Gong feel?"

"five hundred?"

Now the total number in Jiangling City is only four thousand, so naturally it can't be five thousand. Huang Ye asked in amazement: "If the enemy attacks fiercely, it may be difficult to last for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, we can put more trebuchets, bed crossbows and other things, and dig traps outside the camp, sprinkle more barbed wire, and put more horses. There is a shortage of manpower, and we can use foreign things to make up for it."

"The old man understands what the prefect means."

Huang Ye nodded: "Actually, the prefect didn't want to use the strongholds outside the city to kill the enemy at all, but just wanted to use these two places to contain the Xuzhou army! So that the thieves are like a light on their backs, unable to let go of their hands and feet and concentrate on attacking me in Jiangling? "

"Haha, Huang Gong is worthy of being a descendant of a general." Guo Yong nodded: "That's right. In front of a big enemy, it is not a good idea to divide the army several times, but General Guan is in his ears. In order to defeat the enemy, since this is the case, as long as we can lead the enemy to the city and form a containment, that's enough, what does Huang Gong think?"

"It's all up to the eunuch's decision."

Huang Ye thought about it for a while, and found nothing wrong, so he nodded happily and flattered him: "Soldiers are like water, and in the shape of water, they avoid heights and go down; in the shape of soldiers, they avoid reality and strike False. The water controls the flow because of the ground, and the soldiers win because of the enemy. Therefore, the soldiers have no constant momentum, and the water has no constant shape. Now watching the eunuchs deploying formations, it is really wonderful!"

He is a senior official and a representative of the family. Since he agreed, Guo Yong no longer has any worries. He immediately ordered the Jiangling County Captain to go to the east of the city when the Xuzhou Army is not around and the Huang Zhong Department has not yet arrived. After choosing the camp site, after the site was selected, Huang Ye was invited to take the lead to lead the major clans, and mobilized a large number of common people and civilian husbands to rush to build it day and night.

Outside Jiangling City, on the bank of the Hudu River, the Xuzhou Army Camp.

More than ten days have passed, Wu Niu is still in a semi-comatose state, with pain and pain on his face from time to time. In the battle with Guan Yu, he not only lost an arm, but also had at least seven or eight wounds on his body. On the left flank, a little closer is the heart, which is really dangerous and dangerous.

After all, even a fifth-level yellow turban warrior has not broken away from the level of a mortal after all, and is still a body of flesh and blood. If the heart and lungs are stabbed, it is absolutely unreasonable.

Even though it was not the first time to check, every time he saw the other party in such a miserable state, Wang Zheng still couldn't calm down.

After all, Wu Niu is not an ordinary subordinate, this reckless man has followed him since the very beginning, he can be said to be a confidant of confidants, a direct line of direct line!
Sitting on the edge of the couch and staring at it for a long time, Wang Zhengfang slowly got up, turned his head and asked, "How long has it been, why is Wu Niu still awake?"

His face was as calm as a flat lake, and his tone of voice was surprisingly calm, showing no emotion at all, but the medical officer at the side felt that his whole spine was soaking cold, so he said in a trembling voice: "The villain is incompetent, I also hope that Zhou Mu will forgive me."

Wang Zheng glanced at the medical officer when he heard the words, and said calmly: "I didn't mean to blame you, but I just asked why he didn't wake up until now."

"Report to Zhou Mu."

The medical officer bowed lower and lower: "Lieutenant Wu's injury is very serious. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be fatal if it were on someone else's body. It is also thanks to his extraordinary physique that he has been able to support so far. But after all, he lost too much blood. Essence loss, and coma. It is also a matter of medical principles."

This was indeed the truth, but Wang Zheng was noncommittal, and the medical officer bowed his head at this moment, and couldn't see his expression clearly, so he could only hold his breath and concentrate, not daring to vent his breath.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the hall, realizing that Wang Zheng was pacing towards him, the medical officer became more and more uneasy.

Wang Zheng hurriedly walked up to the medical officer, looked down at the medical officer for a while, then patted the medical officer on the shoulder suddenly, and said gently: "Sir, don't worry about it, just do your best. If Wu Niu really can't wake up, It is also fate, and it is not your responsibility."

"After all, no matter how good a doctor is, he can only heal the disease, not the life."

Seeing that Wang Zheng came to visit every day, Wu Niu did not wake up for a long time. The medical officer was already terrified, fearing that his family would be angered, but he never expected Wang Zheng to have such an attitude. He was both surprised and moved.

After all, this medical officer has served other noble people before, so he really understands that the more high-ranking people are, sometimes the more difficult it is to be reasonable!

He looked up at Wang Zheng, and was about to say something when he saw Wang Zheng smile slightly, and turned to Wu Niu's soldiers beside him and told him, "Hey, take care of Wu Niu, and I won't come to visit him in the future. If he wakes up, the first Time to report."

"promise!"

Not long after returning to the commander's account, Wang Zheng immediately summoned sentry cavalry to hear the news, "Has there been any changes in Jiangling City recently?"

"To the General."

I don't know if it's the hot summer, the wind is fierce and the air is stuffy, or it's because of the busy running and never resting, or because of a rare failure, the eyes of the sentry cavalry are bloodshot: "Jiangling has some moves."

Wang Zheng asked, "What action?"

"One is that the city suddenly sent a lot of civilians to the east outside the city to build a new camp."

The sentinel replied: "The movement is very quick. It has been completed today, only some camps and trenches are left to be built, but it is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow at the latest."

"Camp East"

Wang Zheng thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"The other thing is that Jiangling has already contacted Guan Yu's troops outside the city."

At the mention of this name, the voice of the sentinel became hoarse, as if he was gnashing his teeth and encouraging him: "It seems to welcome him into the city."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up immediately, with a strange light in his eyes: "Is Guan Yu going to Jiangling?"

"Yes."

The sentry cavalry didn't notice Wang Zheng's demeanor, and with a dark face, he said angrily: "Damn it, if this guy is allowed to enter Jiangling, it will be even more troublesome!"

"What's the problem?"

Wang Zheng was startled when he heard the words, and immediately realized that he looked at the sentry cavalry with a smile that was not a smile: "I heard that you think that if Guan Yu is allowed to enter Jiangling, it will be difficult for us to capture this city, right?"

Sentinel opened his mouth, and nodded after a while: "Although this guy is hateful, he is a powerful person, after all."

After a pause, he still didn't dare to say what was in his heart, "After all, even a brave general like Lieutenant Wu is no match for him."

"Haha."

Wang Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Did you want to say that after all, even the general dare not confront him head-on, and you want to back off and avoid his edge?"

"The end will not dare."

Although the sentry cavalry said so, he lowered his head and looked at Wang Zheng with a little disappointment.

Since he dared to act like this in front of Wang Zheng, this sentry cavalry is naturally an old soldier from Zhao County who has joined the system team. He has always worshiped Wang Zheng like a god. Not only did they not go to meet the enemy, but they also held high the avoidance of war and took the initiative to retreat, which was very different from the previous style.
In the eyes of an old soldier like him, he naturally felt that Wang Zheng felt that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, so he took the initiative to avoid the battle.

So some disappointment, even disillusionment, is inevitable.

In fact, it wasn't just this sentry cavalry who was disappointed, Wang Zheng had seen similar looks from other soldiers from time to time when he was patrolling the camp these days, and he was well aware of the meaning and even the reason for it.

If there is no system, I am afraid that not only will there be disappointment, but even dissatisfaction, right?

While complaining secretly, Wang Zheng didn't speak out to explain, and he didn't bother to explain, after all, actions are the most powerful words.

At the beginning of Xiapi City, he was still able to fight Zhang Fei evenly, and even had a slight advantage. Now, how can he not be able to defeat Guan Yu?
As for being afraid of Guan Yu and being afraid of Guan Yu, it is a big joke.

He obviously has the confidence and confidence to defeat a powerful enemy, but he still holds back. Naturally, it is because Wang Zheng has a big schemer.

Thinking of Wu Niu, whose life was on the line, and Zhang Rao, who was killed in battle, the smiling Wang Zheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes shot out a sinister light!
That's right, from the first moment he learned that Guan Yu had appeared in Jiangling, he made up his mind that he would never let him leave!
But Wang Zheng also knew very well that Guan Yu was one of the top military generals in the world, no matter what he said, it was not easy to win and even more difficult to kill when his personal strength reached this level. human life.

If you want to be 100% sure, you must first lead Guan Yu to a place of death, just like killing Sun Ce!
