Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but first Huang Zhong stood up, clasped his fists at Li Yi, and said in a muffled voice: "My lord, if you want to divide the troops, the general is willing to stick to the camp and confront Zhongli. The final general can issue a military order, if Ji Ling's soldiers leave the city one step, the final general is willing to apologize!"

Originally, there were people who wanted to talk about it, but when they heard Huang Zhong's words, they all fell silent.

Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing secretly. Huang Zhong's personality is a bit arrogant, but he acts relatively steadily. As long as he approves of you, he can use it very easily. Li Yi likes to use Huang Zhong very much now, but this does not mean that Huang Zhong Zhong is perfect, and Huang Zhong also has his shortcomings.

Through all the contact, Li Yi discovered that although Huang Zhong has high martial arts skills and can be regarded as an out-and-out rough guy, his heart is actually very sensitive and easily hurt.

Of course, this does not mean that Huang Zhong is weak in heart. For example, if someone scolds Huang Zhong as an old man, Huang Zhong probably ignores it, because Huang Zhong knows whether he is an old man or not, and it is not up to those fools at all.

However, once it comes to the things that Huang Zhong cares about, Huang Zhong is not so calm. Even if others don't care, Huang Zhong has knots in his heart, which are still the kind that can't be solved easily.

And Ji Ling was precisely the knot in Huang Zhong's heart that couldn't be solved.

When Yuan Shu invaded Jingzhou, Huang Zhong's city was destroyed. He fought until he was exhausted and finally became Yuan Shu's prisoner. Then Yuan Shu was turned over by Li Yi. Li Yi captured Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling alive, so he used Ji Ling to send Huang Zhong to Huang Zhong. changed back.

Li Yi earned his blood for this matter, because he won a five-tiger general who was extremely loyal to him, so he had no reason to be unhappy, but other people, mainly Huang Zhong himself, didn't think so.

Ji Ling's reputation is much greater than Huang Zhong's, and Huang Zhong was not Li Yi's deployment before Li Yi got Jingzhou. As a result, Li Yi released the famous general Ji Ling for Huang Zhong, which made Huang Zhong always I feel very ashamed, and I feel that I have done more than succeed and failed, and I am very sorry for Li Yi.

Therefore, this matter became Huang Zhong's heart disease. He didn't capture Ji Ling alive and gave it to Li Yi. He felt like a sinner. Therefore, this time he happened to meet Ji Ling guarding Zhongli. Li Yi's No. [-] general had a great opportunity to lead a partial army to attack the city, but he chose to give up and fight with Ji Ling instead.

Li Yi looked at Huang Zhong with gentle eyes, because Huang Zhong is more face-saving, and among the generals leading the troops here, Huang Zhong is the oldest. Li Yi thought about it and decided not to enlighten him. After all, enlightenment is basically The scars were exposed, so Li Yi agreed decisively: "Okay, as General Huang said, no matter how the troops are divided, General Huang will be in command of the camp!"

Hearing that Li Yi agreed to Huang Zhong's request without saying a word, everyone suddenly showed a clear look, and some people were smiling, but no one said anything, and Huang Zhong himself looked at Li Yi gratefully. Yi glanced at him, then bowed deeply, and then retreated.

After Huang Zhong returned to the throne, Xu Huang came out and said about Li Yi's topic before: "The last general thought that in addition to the soldiers and horses stationed in Zhongli, there should be two divisions of troops, one false and one real, one strong and one weak, and one for the army. Strong attack, one is containment, choose one between Dangtu and Yinling!"

Li Yi nodded slightly subconsciously. Although he had just made a start before and handed over the right to speak to the people below, Xu Huang's suggestion really coincided with Li Yi's inner thoughts, but Li Yi himself For a while, I couldn't figure out what should be false, and where should be true, so I didn't speak just now.

Kuai Yue stroked his beard and agreed: "The more I agree with General Xu's opinion, although my lord has more troops than Ji Ling, and what I'm going to do is to attack, but compared to the whole Jiujiang, the lord's number of troops is actually at a disadvantage, so, It’s somewhat reluctant to eat both Dangtu and Yinling in one bite, and it may even lead to the emptiness of the camp and be taken advantage of by Ji Ling, so choosing one of the two is the best policy.”

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, everyone else showed signs of agreement. Seeing that everyone had no other opinions, Li Yi asked, "Gongming, military advisor, which one should you choose?"

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "Master, the last general was thinking about this last night, but until now, he has not been able to make a judgment."

Li Yi looked at the others again, and found that people like Kuai Yue and Xun You were all thinking, and no one could give the answer right away, so he said to Xu Huang: "It's okay, Gongming might as well express what he thinks in his heart, It’s good for everyone to refer to it together.”

"Here!"

Xu Huang responded, also took a small wooden stick, pointed to the sand table and said: "My lord used to mobilize troops, and there was almost no forced attack. Therefore, although Yuan Shu's response seems to be a city-by-city block, it consumes the lord's troops. Morale, but the general thinks that under such a situation, it should not be too difficult for Yuan Shu to guess that the lord will give up the strong attack and turn to a trick to win."

As Xu Huang spoke, he paused, looked at Kuai Yue and Xun You, and saw that both of them agreed, and then continued: "As for winning by strategy, Yangzhou is Yuan Shu's home field. As long as Yuan Shu If you order the guards of the cities to hold out, then the lord has very few means available, and after eliminating them one by one, the most feasible strategy is to divide the troops."

"So, if Yuan Shu counts this point, although my lord's division of troops is a trick, I have to beware of Yuan Shu's tricks!"

Li Yi nodded again and again. Although Xu Huang's words could not directly lead to the final judgment, Xu Huang's ability to think in this way shows that his thinking is very mature, and he knows how to be careful, and his head does not get hot. This kind of general is Li Yi. The most reassuring.

And not only Li Yi, Kuai Yue, Xun You and others also recognized the way Xu Huang looked at Xu Huang. Although Xu Huang was very young, he already knew that he had begun to use his brain to lead troops. This kind of awareness and thinking alone was enough to make many The guys who have been leading soldiers for a lifetime and are still muddled are ashamed.

Li Yi looked at the sand table, and then said, "Gongming is worried that there are ambushes in Dangtu and Yinling, or the strength of the troops is far beyond our expectations?"

Xu Huang nodded and said: "That's right. The combined strength of Dangtu and Maqiuju's scouts is about [-]. However, there are many hills and dense forests near Dangtu. It is not difficult to hide tens of thousands of soldiers. As for Yinling , the guard Chen Lan patrolled closely, and it is not known how many soldiers and horses there are in the city now, but based on the deployment of troops in other places in Jiujiang, if Yinling did not deliberately set up an ambush, the number of troops should not exceed [-]."

When he said this, Xu Huang showed a distressed expression on his face, and said: "Six thousand is just inferred according to common sense. In fact, I will feel that one of the two places must have a force far beyond expectations, or even not less than Zhongli. , once the choice is wrong, our soldiers and horses will be frustrated under the city, or even be counterattacked by them. The consequences will be unimaginable, but the general will be dull. .”

Sighing, Xu Huang bowed to Li Yi, and took a step back, which means that he has said everything he can say.

Regarding Xu Huang's explanation just now, everyone frowned and thought about it. Whether it was a resourceful person like Kuai Yue, or a general like Cai Zhong and Gong Du who didn't have a high sense of existence, they were all thinking about this issue. Xu Huang's worries were unfounded.

Li Yi looked at this scene, and felt very relieved. It's fine to brag and boost morale. During the military discussion, someone really treated Yuan Shu as a fool. Li Yi promised that he would follow him for the rest of his life. There is no chance of getting promoted and getting rich.

Just when everyone was thinking, Kuai Yue suddenly pointed to the sand table and said, "Maybe Yuan Shu is not defending?"

Everyone was startled, and soon someone asked: "What does this mean?"

Kuai Yue put his finger on the location of Yinling, and said: "If there are [-] defenders in this place, my lord divides [-] troops to take Yinling, and if [-] pretend to attack, Yinling will definitely be difficult to get down. Then, as General Xu said As we feared, if the army in the city accidentally counterattacks and then approaches our camp, Ji Ling will take the opportunity to cooperate internally and externally. If this happens, our army will probably only be defeated and retreat, so this time the conquest of Yangzhou will be over."

Without waiting for everyone to react to this, Kuai Yue followed closely and said: "Still assuming that Yinling has [-] soldiers, the lord pretends to attack Yinling with [-], and takes [-] to take Dangtu. The situation may be even worse. With [-] soldiers facing the Shangyinling army, I am afraid that they will be defeated in one battle, and then Yuan Shu does not need to pursue him. He only needs to make a detour and cut off the retreat of the other army. In this way, the lord will be in a dilemma. , If you are not careful in dealing with it, you will be defeated."

Kuai Yue's words made many people's faces darken. They didn't expect that the plan to divide the troops, which was quite good, was full of flaws when he said it like this. How can we fight this?

However, Kuai Yue seemed to be doing it on purpose, and he continued: "Finally, if Yuan Shu is brave enough, after the lord divides the troops, he will directly abandon Dangtu and use all the troops from Yinling, Xiquyang, and quickly advance eastward. First destroy our army's partial division, and then join forces with Ji Ling to attack our army's camp, that's it."

Seeing that Kuai Yue's speech was vague, the hasty general asked, "How so?"

Kuai Yue shook his head and said, "So, Yuan Shu is forcing the lord to fight him, and the lord will divide the troops and cannot retreat. The chance of winning this battle is at least [-]% lower than before!"

What Kuai Yue said made everyone look extremely serious. It's not that everyone's psychological quality is not good. In fact, Kuai Yue's analysis is almost all about Yuan Shu's advantages, and he always targets Li Yi's weaknesses. If Yuan Shu is really so powerful, There is no way to fight this battle.

At first, Li Yi was also full of depression by what Kuai Yue said, but he soon realized that something was wrong, so Li Yi smiled when many people were still frowning, and said: "Before thinking about victory, think about defeat first." , It really is a military division."

Chapter 512 One Person Can Be Worth One Hundred Thousand Soldiers

Seeing Li Yi's originally entangled brows slowly disperse, Kuai Yue couldn't help showing a smile, bowed slightly to Li Yi and said: "It's not because the subordinates boost up the ambitions of others and destroy their own prestige, it's because this battle is too important , without inferring Yuan Shu's chances of winning first, the subordinates really don't know how to plan for the Lord."

Li Yi nodded in relief, and the others were also relieved when they heard the conversation between the two of them. It was really that Kuai Yue's remarks just now were too shocking, as if they were trying to persuade them to give up.

Li Yi looked into Kuai Yue's eyes and asked, "In this case, the military adviser has already come up with a clever plan?"

Kuai Yue nodded first, but after a short pause, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's just something I've realized."

Li Yi stretched out his hand: "Also ask the military teacher to come!"

"Here!"

Kuai Yue bowed to his orders, then stretched out two fingers, and said, "There are two keys to winning this battle."

"First, don't rush to recruit troops. You must get Yinling and Dangtu before you can act. Otherwise, the lord's chance of winning is only [-]% at most."

"Secondly, divide the troops into two groups, one solid and the other weak. The former must have at least [-] troops. After arriving at the place, it must be defeated in one battle without delay. As for the latter, the number of people is different. In short, its purpose is to It's a siege, not an ambush, but to make Yuan Shu's defender unavoidable, so that he will not dare to go out of the city to fight even if he has a large army in his hand!"

After finishing speaking, Kuai Yue withdrew his fingers and said solemnly: "Only in this way, the Lord can be sure of the first battle in Yangzhou!"

Kuai Yue's words were powerful and contagious, and gave people a feeling that as long as he did what he said, the battle would definitely be won. However, after thinking about it for a while, everyone found that what Kuai Yue said Neither of these two things is easy, at least there is no countermeasure in the minds of most people present in a short period of time.

It is precisely because of this that after Kuai Yue's voice fell, everyone was silent for a long time, and the big tent was quiet. Finally, Xun You couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, and said: "Although my subordinates are not talented, But the first point the military adviser said is not difficult."

Li Yi was also thinking about countermeasures. Hearing Xun You's voice, joy flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Please speak clearly, sir."

Xun You smiled and said, "According to what the scouts in front said, the road between Yinling and Zhongli is wide and flat. It's okay to ambush hundreds of people, but it's not easy if there are thousands of troops, and our scouts haven't found it in the wild." Abnormally, therefore, there is absolutely no ambush outside Yinling City. If Yuan Shu sets up heavy troops here, then the soldiers and horses can only be inside the city. In addition, our military scouts have not been able to find out the reality of Yinling City. testify."

Li Yi nodded and asked, "What about Dangtu?"

Xun You continued to answer: "Compared to Yinling, although the two cities of Dangtu and Maqiu are not big, but there are many hills and forests in the surrounding area, it is easy to hide tens of thousands of soldiers in the wild."

Xu Huang couldn't help frowning and said, "Isn't this still impossible to judge?"
