Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1822 Grain Dao Competition Ten

Mu Jing pondered for a while, his eyes were vivid, and seeing the determination and determination on Zhang Liao's face, he was a little shaken in his mind. He had great trust in Zhang Liao, a general. In name only.

The Ming army can be regarded as a star like a cloud.

There are not a few who can stand alone.

But the one who can really coordinate the overall battle as the coach, at present, I am afraid that only Zhang Liao has been trained, and the others are either almost talented or almost unqualified.

He has high hopes for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao never let him down.

So he is still willing to believe in Zhang Liao, and believes that Zhang Liao can bring victory to the Ming court to unify the world.

He said in a low voice: "Cao Mengde is not an impulsive person, Guo Fengxiao is also very shrewd, and among the Wei army, there are many people who are calm and mature. You can be sure that they will take the initiative to attack!"

"Fifty percent!"

Zhang Liao said without hesitation: "Although it is only [-]% certainty, I think it is enough. There has never been a war that can be won on the battlefield. We have to gamble with them on the fate of the country!"

"Bet on national luck?"

Mujing and Xi Zhicai looked at each other.

Xi Zhicai gasped, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said quietly: "Are you betting too much?"

"The bet is on them. As far as we are concerned, no matter how bad they are, they will not be so bad. Whether they take the initiative or not, in this battle, we need to boil them to death in the same way as eagles. Who can't survive?" Whoever goes down will lose!"

Zhang Liao analyzed and said: "Revealing his shortcomings may shake the morale of the army, but it may not be an opportunity to rebuild the morale of the army. This is killing two birds with one stone. It is best if they dare to come. If they dare not come, then we can share weal and woe with the soldiers. Going through this most difficult time, the generals whose hearts are not stable can be suppressed at this time, otherwise it will be too late to deal with these problems when the war starts!"

"Wen Yuan's consideration is quite reasonable!" Mu Jing said softly: "Sometimes, since it is already a fact, it cannot be covered up. Before the decisive battle, the army's mind should be stabilized. I have confidence in the soldiers of Ming Dynasty. I believe they can survive through thick and thin with us!"

"Since that's the case, that's the only way to go now!"

Xi Zhicai had no other good solution.

"I will ask the public platform and Zhengfang to cooperate with you in this matter. Both of them are people who can do things. You will arrange the battle situation, and they will deal with the affairs of the army!"

Mu Jing said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao nodded with burning eyes and full of confidence.

"Also, do you think the captured soldiers of the Yan army can be used?" Mu Jing asked.

Now their lack of strength is a fact.

"Li Zhengfang's ideological and political secretary is a sharp knife. I think with his assistance, part of it can be used, but it is limited to a part. Many of them are still unstoppable. Forced mobilization will be counterproductive!"

"Then you can discuss it!" Mu Jing said.

He stood up, looked at the snow falling on the top of the city, looked at the vast sky, and shouted: "Jin Jiu!"

"exist!"

"Order, from today onwards, only one meal a day, save food, buy time, and I treat the diet of all ordinary soldiers equally, and I will accompany them when they are cold. This city gate has lived upstairs!"

Mu Jing knew that he was the spirit of the first army, and whether the soldiers of the Ming army could survive the cold weather without food depended on whether they could hold on.

Sometimes spirit matters.

He firmly believes that there is nothing that cannot be solved with concerted efforts.

"His Majesty!"

Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao's complexion changed slightly, Mujing's body of gold, how could he put himself in danger, if he couldn't bear it, anyone who could starve to death and freeze to death, everyone else could die, except Mujing.

"I am also a general, if the soldiers can hold on, so can I!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, and said to the two of them: "And I really believe in Xu Shu, he will deliver the food soon, and I won't starve for a long time!"

At this time, if he still can't show this spirit, then there is no hope for this battle.

The disadvantage of the Ming army on the actual battlefield is already affirmed.

After all, in terms of the current situation, the Wei army is waiting for work at leisure, and the main force is all elite troops, while the Ming army has already fought a bloody battle with the Yan army to determine the outcome. Wounded soldiers and weakened soldiers will affect the morale of the soldiers.

In the duel, whether there is any hope of winning depends on whether the Ming soldiers can hold on to this breath.

Besides, what he said was not just for the occasion, he still believed that Xu Shu had the ability to transport the food and grass up. His trust in Xu Shu originated from history, and it was also because of years of getting along with him.

................................................

The battle for grain roads is still going on.

Under Chen Dao's attack, the Wei army in Hedong was still struggling, but it was still a powder keg that could explode at any time.

And this is not the key to whether the food can be transported north.

The key lies in the battle of Hanoi.

Xu Shu's deployment is relatively tight, he wants to attract the attention of the main Hanoi Wei army, but sometimes people are not as good as God.

He thought he could delay for a few more days, but not long after he crossed the Yellow River, the tiger and leopard cavalry school Wei Dianman saw through the emptiness of the grain truck.

Dianman is not smart, but reckless.

As the son of Dian Wei, the most powerful general under the King of Wei, Dian Man followed his father and was good at using force, not someone. He didn't have so much thought, but he knew that the so-called speculation is not as good as a charge.

So he directly used a charge, the charge of the cavalry, to shatter the Ming army's grain transportation team, and it was immediately exposed that all the food on Xu Shu's grain transportation vehicle was fake

Xu Shu quickly gathered the main force and kept retreating.

Dianman didn't have too much thought at this time, he just kept chasing, regardless of whether it was true or not, he took off the head first.

Xu Shu's troops were not many, and under the pursuit of the tiger and leopard cavalry from the first battalion, the killed ones retreated steadily.

But Xu Shu's plan is also very deep.

He has already calculated that he will be seen through. After all, the truth cannot be turned into a fake, and it is difficult to turn a fake into a real one. If he has more troops, he can naturally cover it up. It is difficult to hide this situation.

So when he was exposed, he immediately reacted, withdrew his troops and went south, buying enough time.

But the cavalry is fast.

It's just that Xu Shu joined Gongsundu's Liaodong Army in the first place.

Gongsundu's Liaodong Army is very familiar with cavalry combat. Although there are not many cavalry anymore, there are still some means to deal with cavalry charges.

With only two battalions of troops, Gongsun Du could block Dianman's attack.

But Gongsun Du was in danger.

He was Xia Houyuan who was still fighting against each other.

Xia Houyuan is a famous general, very experienced, even though his Gongsundu attacked several times, he couldn't hold him back, but was beaten back again and again by him.

This fight almost wiped out Gongsun Du's arrogance. If Xia Houyuan's retreat at Hangu Pass was just a kind of betrayal and trickery, then now Xia Houyuan defeated him with his serious abilities.

This hit Gongsun Du quite hard.

Gongsundu entered the Central Plains with great ambitions, but after repeated encounters, he felt like a ground turtle, who had almost no power to parry under the molestation of the Central Plains heroes.

And in this kind of thing, Xu Shu suddenly attracted a group of cavalry, which almost prevented him from repeating the predicament of being flanked.

Fortunately, he arranged for Liu Yi to lead the army in the rear, so there was no defeated army formation. However, under the attack of two Wei armies, Gongsundu still suffered some losses and withdrew for twenty miles in a row. Stand firm.

"Xu Yuanzhi!"

Gongsun Du stared at Xu Shu with bloody anger.

He felt as if he was being played by Xu Shu.

"General Gongsun, why is this so!" Xu Shu was a bachelor, he spread his hands and said, "I just gave you one more chance to choose, and now you can tie me up and join Wei Jun!"

"You never thought of letting us go!"

Gongsun Du gritted his teeth.

At this point, if he is still confused, he is no longer Gongsun Du. Since Xu Shu let him out, every step seems to be in the calculation of this person.

I don't even know how to get in.

Anyway, now Wei Jun's sight has locked his own, and he has no choice at all.

"I'll let it go, I will do what I say, and I won't force you to stay!"

Xu Shu said softly: "But you know very well in your heart, can you leave? The world is big, but it's also small. Liaodong used to be in a corner, but now can it still be? Even if you return to Youzhou, When you return to Liaodong, you will be at peace!"

Gongsun Du gritted his teeth and said, "At least I can choose to die in Liaodong instead of a foreign country!"

"Since you choose to enter the Central Plains, your chances of going back are slim!" Xu Shu said calmly, "I'm just helping you!"

"You are simply using me. You first used me to delay Xiahouyuan's troops, and then used me to block the charge of the Wei army's cavalry. Now the Wei army's troops in the south of Hanoi are concentrated on me!"

Gongsun Du said coldly.

He stared at Xu Shu, and said: "The grain and grass are not here at all, you just use me, and then let your grain and grass go up from the northeast of Hebei, right?"

"Since you have already guessed everything, then do you think it is reasonable for me to do so in my capacity?" Xu Shu clapped his hands and said with a smile.

Gongsun Du couldn't even get angry, maybe he wasn't angry at all, because he basically guessed it, but he didn't want to accept it for a while.

Now that the fig leaf is gone, he can't admit it if he wants to.

"Are you really not afraid that I will vote for the Wei army?" Gongsun Du still couldn't figure out where Xu Shu had the courage to trust him so much.

"As long as there is a one-ten-thousandth choice, you will never choose to trust Xia Houyuan again!" Xu Shu said: "And you know in your heart that you can't escape at all. If you didn't enter the customs back then, you could still be yours in Liaodong." Emperor of the Earth, but now, you either choose or be chosen!"

"You are really smart!"

Gongsun Du had to admit that Xu Shu had spoken out his state of mind.

No matter how he chooses, he dare not choose Xia Houyuan.

If Xiahouyuan sold him once, there would be a second time, and even if Xiahouyuan analyzed this kind of thing, he would not believe it. If there was a rift between the two, then even if he surrendered to the Wei army, Xiahouyuan could only understand it. , if he dared to trust Xia Houyuan again, he would be a fool.

If he wanted to survive, he would rather trust the Ming army.

The reason why he was so angry was probably because he wanted to win some good bargaining chips for himself, so it would be best not to make himself look so ugly.

"General Gongsun, there is only one way for you now. Since that is the case, I want you to go on a smooth path, so meritorious service is the only thing you can do!"

Xu Shu said persuasively: "Your Majesty doesn't care about the past, but if you want His Majesty to agree, the only standard of military exploits, everything else is meaningless!"

"Okay, even so, Xu Yuanzhi, you also know that with my current strength, if I have no fighting spirit and no military spirit, I can't withstand the joint attack of Xia Houyuan and the Wei army's cavalry. For two or three days at most, I can only fight. Cross the river and return to Luoyang!"

Gongsundu resigned himself to his fate.

There are some people in this world who just can't be the overlord, what else can they do if they don't accept their fate, instead of being so entangled, he might as well be more straightforward, maybe this can make people look higher.

It has to be said that Xu Shu was relieved by his thinking. How can people's hearts be so easy to calculate? He was just betting on a probability, and he was also afraid that Gongsun Du would directly surrender to Wei Jun in a fit of anger.

This kind of possibility is not big, but it does not mean that there is no. If Gongsun Du has no confidence in the Ming army, it is not impossible for him to return to the arms of the Wei army when he is cornered.

As the saying goes, looking for plums to quench thirst and painting cakes to satisfy hunger means that when you see hope, you will be desperate. Sometimes the most fearful thing is despair.

But now it seems that Gongsun Du still has some faith in the Ming army, otherwise he would not let go of his resentment towards himself and the resentment of being calculated so smoothly.

"There is still a chance!"

Xu Shu laughed, and said in a low voice: "General Gongsun Du, it depends on whether you dare to fight fiercely or not!"

"Cruel?" Gongsun Du narrowed his eyes.

"It's a fact that Xia Houyuan is calm and mature, but it doesn't mean he has no flaws!" Xu Shu said, "If you believe me, you may lose a lot in this battle, but at least you can get back a lot of money!"

Gongsundu became silent.

He subconsciously glanced at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi smiled wryly, and he cupped his hands and said, "General, if you want to surrender, you must have military exploits. We must use our lives to fight a battle. Otherwise, even if the Ming army wins, there will be no place for us to stand!"

"All right!"

Gongsun Du became cruel. He looked at Xu Shu and said, "I can cooperate with you to fight a battle, but Xu Yuanzhi, let me tell you, this is the last time I trust you. If you live up to my trust, even if I die, I will die." Pull you down to be buried with me!"

"it is good!"

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Gongsun, now you and I are in the same formation, and I won't count on my comrades-in-arms either!"
