After this battle, Lu Xun and Chen Gong successfully captured more than 40,000 enemy soldiers and horses, and the loss was only about 1,000 people, but they won a great victory.And through this battle, Chen Gong's view of Lu Xun has changed even more.In fact, not only Chen Gong, but even Yan Liang, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie also admired Lu Xun's strategy.It's just that only Lu Xun himself knows that these so-called strategies are nothing more than embracing these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, if they really face Cheng Yu, who is known as a ghost, this strategy will inevitably fail.Now in the land of Yanzhou, most of the state cities were taken by Lu Xun, Chen Gong and Xu Shu.In the end, the key two places were Na Jiyin and Chen Liu, and after the news of the loss of Rencheng and Dongping City came, Xiahoudun and Cheng Yu finally couldn't sit still.As a last resort, Cheng Yu personally led an army of 50,000 troops into Jiyin, defended the town with all his might, and resolutely did not come out, while Xiahoudun led an army of 20,000 troops to sit in Chen Liu and wait for Cheng Yu's news.If you want to attack Chenliu, you must break through Jiyin, and it is difficult to guarantee that Xiahoudun will not fall for the enemy's tricks, so this time Cheng Yu personally went to the front line, in a vain attempt to resist the attack of the Zhao army with his own wisdom and strength.Immediately, the two armies maintained contact at any time, and if something happened, the two sides made a rescue move to each other.Although Xiahoudun repeatedly demanded that he lead the troops to recover the lost territory, he was repeatedly rejected by Cheng Yu, so angry that Xiahoudun almost led the troops to attack the Zhao army at the cost of disobeying the military order, and finally the soldiers were confiscated by Cheng Yu, and Xiahoudun had to complain.In the end, Xiahoudun prayed to Cheng Yu again: "Military advisor, now the enemy army is like a pack of wolves dividing up my Yanzhou.As the general of Yanzhou Town, I sat in Yanzhou on the orders of the prime minister, but you made me watch the enemy army show off their might in front of my Yanzhou, and I asked how Xiahoudun could have such a bad breath now.Strategist, you still allocate two elite soldiers to me, and let me personally lead the troops to subdue one or two fallen cities.If not, 10,000 elite soldiers will do, and 5,000 soldiers and horses will do.Xiahoudun was willing to make a military order and swear to take back the city. ”I only heard Cheng Yu shake his head and smile: "The heart of the general, Cheng Yu sees it in his heart."
It's just that at the moment, the enemy's army has suddenly entered our Yanzhou in multiple batches, and its tactics are so strange that it is not our general's strength to fight against it.Although the enemy army was outnumbered this time, the battle line was also too long, and although we could not defeat the enemy army by our close forces in Jiyin and Chenliu, we were able to delay the battle more than the enemy army. ”"Delay the war" Regarding Cheng Yu's words, Xiahoudun was confused, so he had to ask again: "Forgive Xiahoudun for being ignorant, I don't know what the military advisor meant, and I hope the military advisor will make it clear." ”I only heard Cheng Yu say quietly: "The enemy army not only has a long front this time, but also has a large number of troops, which are distributed in various cities.In addition, the newly captured sergeants and the enemy army need to consume a large amount of rice and food materials every day, as long as the time drags on for a long time, there will be a large-scale loss, and when the people and soldiers complain together, the defeat of the enemy army will be like a flood of mountains and rivers, so that it will be out of control.At that time, it will be a good time for the general to make a move, and judging from the current situation, we still need to be patient and see who can't hold on to the enemy first. ”In Cheng Yu's words, at this moment, Yanzhou has entered a dire straits, and the enemy's army has spread all over Yanzhou.It is already impossible to counterattack, and the only way is to delay the tactic of attrition, which is not impossible and has appeared many times in successive battles.Regarding Cheng Yu's proposal, Xiahoudun couldn't say that it was good, but he couldn't find any reason to refuse.Now that the enemy has won victories one after another, the morale of the army has risen greatly, while the morale of Army B has fallen to the bottom.Even if Xiahoudun was a hundred dissatisfied in his heart, this was the only way at the moment.led the men and horses back to Chenliu, closed the entire city, and did not let go of a single soldier.And in the Zhao Jun camp, the three strategists under Zhao Yu finally gathered together.This time, with Xu Shu as the main commander, Chen Gong and Lu Xun as auxiliaries, plus Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals, gathered in Rencheng to discuss the next plan.Above the council, Lu Kuang, as the general of Cao Jun, knew Xiahoudun very well, and couldn't help but express his doubts in his heart, trying to tell everyone what he knew, so as to make some more achievements for the next battle: "Xu Junshi, this time our army has taken many cities in Yanzhou in a row, according to Xiahoudun's habits in the past, he will definitely raise a large army to attack, why has there been no movement, is there some conspiracy" I saw Xu Shu smiled slightly, and then said: "If it was simply Xiahoudun's temperament, I'm afraid he would have led the men and horses to fight over." , even if it hits a wall, it will continue to fight, even if it is a head and blood, it will not stop like this.But this time, Xiahoudun is closed, so there is only one possibility, someone is stopping him, this person is not only Cao Cao, but Cheng Yu, the marching division and overseer commander of Yanzhou. ”On the side, Chen Gong added: "Even if Cheng Yu is calm-headed, it is impossible for him to be so calm after dropping several cities in a row.This time, the Cao army did this, obviously did not want to confront our army head-on, after a few victories, the morale of our army was greatly increased, on the other hand, the morale of the enemy army was low, if it was a head-on battle, the Cao army would definitely suffer, Cheng Yu saw this weakness, so he would rather not be able to defend it. ”Yan Liang couldn't help but stand up and said: "Then if we attack with more than 100,000 troops, no matter how strong the Jiyin city wall is, it will not be able to resist it, so it is better to take advantage of the momentum of our army's front and launch all the efforts in one fell swoop to take Jiyin." ”Lu Xun said on the side: "This move is absolutely undesirable, with the ability of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun, the Cao army left behind in Jiyin and Chen Liu must be elite soldiers."
Even if we have an army of 100,000, if we attack strongly, as long as the enemy army is united and unable to hold out, I am afraid that no matter how much we lose, it will be difficult to break through the city, and then we will lose both. ”Ma Xiu couldn't help but interject and said: "Since we can't attack strongly, then do we have to spend it like this with Cao Jun, everyone doesn't move, then when will this come to an end, I'm afraid that when the time comes, let Cao Jun take a breath, and we will become passive." ”Xu Shu spoke again: "General Matthew is right, if we keep consuming it, it will be equivalent to giving Cao Jun a chance to breathe.But at the moment, Cao Jun just wants to drag us down, so he uses tactics. ”Kong Ying also asked curiously: "The Cao army wants to drag us down, if the strength of the Cao army in Yanzhou is a head-on confrontation, it is completely insufficient to resist the attack of our army, how can the Cao army drag us down" I only heard Xu Shu say: "Although our army has taken many cities of the enemy army in a row this time, and collected tens of thousands of enemy troops, so far the main army of the enemy army has not attacked in order to preserve its strength and want to drag us down."
Our army, horses, and civilians have increased greatly, but the daily consumption is also very large, and with the current materials and grain and grass in the city, I am afraid that it can only last for two months.After a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the people and the army will begin to be impatient and sluggish, and then it will be the best time for the enemy to attack and counterattack. ”Xu Shu's voice lagged behind, and everyone present was shocked, and they couldn't help but marvel at Cao Jun's insidiousness, but they had to praise Cao Jun's cleverness."
Cheng Yu, who is worthy of being known as a ghost, really has some strength, if this guy is too weak, I'm afraid Lu Xun will also find it boring.No matter what this person's strength is, even if he is strong, I, Lu Xun, will fight with him, and I don't believe that he can be so powerful. ”Chen Gong immediately praised: "Bo Yan has such ambitions, it's really gratifying, that's right, no matter how powerful Cheng Yu is, since we are here, we will meet him for a while, gather the wisdom of the three of us, I don't believe that we can't take him." ”"Then since Cheng Yu has come up with this strategy, how should we deal with it, and the offense and defense will not succeed, so we have to find a way."
Ma Tie couldn't help but speak.I only heard Xu Shu say: "Since Cheng Yu wants to use this method to drag us down, then we will play with him."
Tomorrow, I will write to inform the lord, asking the lord to allocate 100,000 stone grain and grass materials to support the expenses of several state cities, and then call on all the people and soldiers to reclaim wasteland to grow grain and sow seeds, as long as they persist, they will be able to harvest in a few months, and I am afraid that Cheng Yu will not be able to support it at that time. ”Then I only heard Lu Xun say quietly: "That's good, anyway, this time this Yanzhou, we have decided, since we can't break the enemy army now, it's better to rest."
First, let the soldiers take a break, adjust, and strengthen training in their leisure time, so as to prepare for the next battle.Second, we should also collect the pride of the soldiers, our army has won many victories in a row, and some of the sergeants must have a sense of pride in their hearts, which is dangerous.Thirdly, for those who surrendered, the Cao army and the people in the city were integrated, so that they could try more of our lord's favor policy, and develop from being forced to join our lord to willingly joining our lord.Even if Cao Jun comes to attack at that time, these people will desperately resist in order to protect the existing happy life. ”After hearing this, Chen Gong on the side couldn't help but praise immediately: "Don't look at Lu Xun's young age, but his vision is so unique, and he can take into account such a long-term plan, which is really great wisdom." ”As soon as Chen Gong said this, others echoed and responded, which made Lu Xun quite embarrassed for a while.After hearing everyone's praise, Lu Xun couldn't help but bow his hand to everyone and said: "Don't praise me like this, Lu Xun can have such an enlightened and long-term strategy, and it is also the influence of the lord."
When the lord and I met in Xuzhou, we followed the lord for many days, which greatly broadened Lu Xun's thinking.In contrast, the lord is not a few years older than me, originally when Lu Xun was thinking about himself, the lord was already thinking about the world.The heart of the lord made Lu Xun ashamed, and at that moment, Lu Xun also began to learn the thinking of the lord to plan the world and fight for the common people in the world. ”:
