Great Military Division

Chapter 167 Yuan Shu, You Think Too Much!

"Master Bian, from the current point of view, our siege plan is relatively perfect. According to the deduction of experts, the probability of successfully winning Guangcheng Pass is as high as [-]%."

"but."

Before Liu Bian had time to be happy, a pot of cold water was directly poured down: "Because it involves two aspects, siege and defense, such a plan cannot be completed by Lord Bian, and must be completed by the strength of the allies."

"There is a saying, no matter how wise a decision is, if it is implemented by a group of idiots, the results may not be satisfactory. Experts can deduce the success rate of the plan, but it is difficult to predict people's hearts."

Liu Bian naturally understood the meaning of the Military Division Alliance: "What do experts mean, Yuan Shu may be secretly playing tricks, or deliberately dragging us down, so that this battle will fail?"

"Ah."

The military division alliance has no nonsense: "It will definitely!"

Liu Bian frowned: "It's not a possibility, but a certainty?"

Military Division Alliance: "That's right!"

"why?"

Liu Bian suddenly became suspicious, and tried to ask: "Didn't we point out Yuan Kai and Yuan Ji? Could it be that Yuan's disciples and old officials want him to die? They can bear the crime of forcing the master to death?"

"Don't be in a hurry, Master."

The voice of the military division alliance was relatively calm: "Although the Yuan family's disciples and old officials don't know about the Yuan family's conspiracy, Yuan Shu must know about it, and even though Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji can't leave Luoyang, it doesn't mean they can't send news."

"Experts speculate that Yuan Kai is even ready to die. After all, as long as he dies at the hands of Dong Zhuo, it will definitely arouse the anger of his disciples and old officials towards Dong Zhuo, which will intensify the battle and increase the prestige of the Yuan family. "

"Master Debate, try to think:"

The military division alliance described it as clearly as possible: "When Yuan Wei died, the former officials of Yuan's disciples were angry, and their reputation soared, even surpassing all the princes who came to beg for Dong."

"Once the action against Dong is successful, when the emperor rewards the meritorious deeds, the Yuan family will not only have an alliance leader, but also a Shanggong Taifu who has died to show his ambition. Shouldn't it be the first meritorious service that will be sung by the world?"

"At that time, even though Yuan Kai is dead, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and even Yuan Yi and Yuan Zhong can all be promoted, and the Yuan family's power will definitely become stronger."

"And wait until this time."

The Alliance of Military Advisors paused for a moment, and said softly: "A weak ruler and a strong minister are signs of a change of dynasty, and Yuan Kai's goal of making the Yuan family truly turn around has been achieved."

"Experts have said before that only when one's status has reached a certain level for a long time can one have the idea of ​​treason. The four generations and three princes are already extremely powerful ministers, and the Yuan family's desire to go further has a long history."

"This is the same as how quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes! I have been an extremely human minister for a long time, and I know the truth that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you want a family to prosper, you have to become a tiger and a dragon!"

Hearing this, some knowledge that the experts had taught before emerged in Liu Bian's mind.

In fact, after carefully sorting out the power pedigree of ancient dynasties, we can roughly draw five kinds of power:

Imperial power, empress power, patriarchal power, prime minister power, and general power.

If these five powers can balance each other and coexist harmoniously, the dynasty can enjoy long-term stability.

Conversely, once the five powers are out of balance and one of them is allowed to grow, it will become chaotic and eventually decline.

such as:

Excessive imperial power will easily breed tyrants;

Excessive post-power will lead to the monopoly of foreign relatives;

Excessive patriarchal power will cause the kings to seize the throne;

If the power of generals and ministers is too strong, the ruler will be weak and the ministers will be strong, which is often a sign of a change of dynasty.

Throughout the Qin and Han dynasties, from eunuchs and relatives taking turns in power, to Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han, this is perfectly explained.

In a sense, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Kai, and even Cao Cao later were all from the same path.

It's just that the means are different.

"and then?"

Although Liu Bian's historical level is improving.

But accepting such a thing all of a sudden, I was still a little dazed.

The Alliance of Military Advisors simply stated the conclusion: "It's very simple! Yuan Wei is ready to die. It's useless for us to threaten Yuan Shu with this."

"If Yuan Shu hadn't been afraid of losing the support of Yuan's disciples and old officials, making them think he was an unfilial son, he wouldn't even know how to argue, and would still go his own way."

"The real logical relationship should be like this. Master Bian used Yuan Kui's life as an excuse to threaten Yuan's disciples and old officials, and then forced Yuan Shu to admit his position as commander-in-chief. But in fact, Yuan Shu was unwilling. .”

"Makes sense!"

Liu Bian pondered for a moment: "So what the experts mean is that Yuan Shu is now a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and can't tell what he is suffering. Since he can only passively acknowledge my commander in chief, he simply made some small tricks behind his back to make the war fail and reduce my strength. prestige?"

"That's right!"

The Military Division Alliance affirmed: "Comprehension is 100%!"

Liu Bian's heart suddenly galloped: "Damn! This is too insidious, right?"

Military division alliance: "The main thing is that Yuan Shu is willing to go all out. If it were someone else, he might not be able to do this kind of thing."

Liu Bian nodded with great interest: "That makes sense! Yuan Shu is shameless. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with. Does the expert have a corresponding strategy? This is my first battle in the Allied Forces, so many people are watching. Absolutely can't lose."

"Yes, yes."

"but."

The Chief of the Military Division Alliance sighed: "How much effect it can play is unknown."

Liu Bian hurriedly said: "I can't control that much, let's talk about it first."

Military division alliance: "Actually, the key to this victory is not the side that is attacking the city, but the side that is defending the city. As long as Han Dang and Cheng Pu can hold the rear, Guangcheng Pass will be broken sooner or later."

"Ah."

Liu Bian deeply agreed: "It makes sense."

The Military Division Alliance continued: "So, for the arrangement of Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhong, they must not be in key positions, otherwise it will lead to a premature collapse. If our troops are not enough, Liu Chong, Li Min, and Zhao Yan will be given priority."

"As for the credibility of the other vassals, according to Xun Yu's feedback these days and the analysis of experts, Runan prefect Xu Yu is the priority, followed by Lu Guoxiang Chen Yi, and finally Yuan Zhong and Yuan Shu."

"If our infantry cavalry and infantry cavalry strategies go well, most of the enemy cavalry can be wiped out, and then the main force can be brought back to help break the city."

"."

An expert is an expert!

Liu Bian had to admit that their control over the overall situation had reached an outrageous level.

It even made Liu Bian feel like he would never learn it in his lifetime.

After listening to the expert's method, Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely not let Yuan Shu succeed!"

Military division alliance: "Well, I believe you, come on!"

a few days later.

Yuan Shu, Xu Yan, and Li Min sent back news.

Merchant ships have been recruited, a total of 78 ships.

Among them, there are [-] large cargo ships;
46 small cargo ships;

The rest are the escort warships of the caravan.

Liu Bian immediately arranged for Sun Jian to choose more than [-] elite soldiers, large cargo ships to escort supplies such as grain and grass, guard the battlefield and small cargo ships to transport soldiers.

Luyang Camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Liu Bianduan sat at the head, and the next thousand princes sat on both sides.

His eyes swept across the crowd, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Today, we will meet here to obey the order of the lonely king, and we will discuss Dong together, so I promise you all!"

"Those who make meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who commit crimes must be punished; the state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. No matter who you are or what your status is, if you violate military discipline, you must follow the military law. I hope everyone should abide by it and not violate it."

All the princes bowed their hands together and promised.

but
Although Yuan Shu agreed on the surface, he was disdainful in his heart: "Hey, the army is in my hands, so you should obey my orders. I want to see if you really dare to touch me!"

Just when Yuan Shu secretly despised him.

suddenly.

A piercing gaze came over, just falling on his guilty face: "Where is the rear general Yuan Shu?"

Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat. Although he was upset, he still took a step forward and clasped his hands together, "The end is here."

Liu Bian ordered loudly: "The victory or defeat of this battle is directly related to the safety of Luoyang and the safety of Yuan Gong'an. At this moment, the general must be very anxious."

"As it is"

The corners of Liu Bian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of evilness: "The task of the main attack will be handed over to the rear general. If you go all out to attack the city, you will not only get the first victory, but also save Yuan Yuan." Lord, you can kill two birds with one stone."

"Ah, this"

Yuan Shu looked a little embarrassed.

He didn't intend to kill Luoyang and save his uncle.

after all
My uncle has already made it clear.

Now that Luoyang is dead, with a strong momentum, you and other brothers should be united and live up to our high hopes.

"how?"

Liu Bian asked back, "The general is not willing?"

Yuan Shu shook his head hastily: "No! It's just that I don't have enough troops, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, as if he had expected it long ago: "Since this is the case, Yuan Zhong, Minister of the Pei Kingdom, will go to battle with you to attack Guangcheng Pass. Aren't you going to echo the leader Yuan Shao? I will help you all."

It was Yuan Zhong who threatened to echo Yuan Shao!
This time, I will fulfill you.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhong had no choice but to bow their hands and say, "No."

Although the two concealed it well, Liu Bian noticed a trace of embarrassment on the other's face from the subtleties: "Where is King Chen?"

Liu Chong then flashed out: "Yes."

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "You defeated the Yellow Turban in Chen State, and you tried to keep one side safe. You have rich combat experience, so you will be in charge of supervising the battle."

"Those who retreat in battle, beheaded;"

"If one retreats, the other will be beheaded;"

"If the whole team retreats, the captain will beheaded;"

"If the captain dies and the whole team retreats, the whole team will be beheaded;"

"Do you understand?"

Chen Wang and Liu Chong cupped their fists together: "Don't worry, the lonely king understands."

Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat.

It is clear.

Liu Bian sent Liu Chong to supervise the formation, just to prevent himself from slack.

Could it be that King Hongnong had already expected this to be the case, so he arranged for an overseer?

but
How did he expect it?

Or is it just his habit of leading troops?
Although Yuan Shu felt that something was wrong, he had already accepted the order, so how could he go back on his word, otherwise it would arouse others' suspicion, and King Hongnong would just let it go. It would not be worth the loss if the former disciples of the Yuan family became suspicious.

"Wenyuan."

"exist."

"Put out the array."

"promise!"

Immediately.

Zhang Liao unfolded a step-by-step formation map in the tent, marking the princes of these parties on it.

Liu Bian got up, bypassed Shuai's case, and transferred it to the account: "Guangcheng Pass and Liang County are at the corner of each other. Once General Yuan attacks the city, there will be support from Liang County, so our army's rear will definitely be troubled by attacks."

"The princes should use this method to set up the formation and distribute it everywhere in the formation. As for the main roads, the soldiers and horses of the lonely king are stationed in person. Although they bear the brunt, they are willing to do so in order to win Dong Dayi."

"Where is Xu Wei?"

Liu Bian glanced across the princes.

However, there was a person on the left, who cupped his hands and said, "The end is here."

Liu Bian gave an order: "Your honorable officer lives in General Du Liao, and Governor Xu once conquered the Yellow Turbans, and he also has the same experience in actual combat. You will be in charge of the troops in the rear, how about it?"

Liu Bian will naturally go all out, so he is not afraid of Xu Jiao supervising the formation.

Xu Yan cupped his hands: "No."

Yuan Shu felt relieved.

It is fair to have people on both sides supervise the formation.

From this point of view, this should be King Hongnong's military habit.

Next.

Liu Bian explained the strategy and tactics in detail, and after everyone understood it, he said, "In that case, all generals, go back to the camp and prepare. Tomorrow, you will cook at Yin time and set off at Mao time. There must be no mistakes."

All the princes bowed their hands together: "No!"

*****
Guangchengguan.

It is named after the ancient immortal Guangchengzi.

Secondly, Guangchengguan is a typical two mountains sandwiching a valley, with Fangwai Mountain and Jishan Mountain on the left and right, and Ru River flows through it.

This morning.

Xu Rong was discussing military affairs at Guan Daying Camp in Guangcheng.

suddenly.

There was a hasty announcement from outside the tent:

"Report~~~"

Xu Rong looked up.

However, a soldier came in a hurry, his expression panicked, he didn't even bother to salute, so he raised his finger and pointed outside: "General, something is wrong."

Xu Rong frowned: "Why are you so flustered?"

The soldier swallowed his saliva: "Luyang's rebels have come, and they are setting up formations outside the city."

"Array?"

Xu Rong looked slightly surprised, and smiled: "It's kind of interesting, you actually want to set up an formation, let's go out, let's go out and see what the other party's move means?"

All the soldiers clapped their hands together: "No."

Immediately.

Follow Xu Rong and go straight to Guangcheng Guancheng.

Even Xu Rong himself did not expect that the soldiers and horses outside the city had prepared a large number of carbine-repelling guns, as well as a line of defense coordinated by various chariots.

It is clear!
The other party was wary of reinforcements from Liang County.

Xu Rong thought he had experienced hundreds of battles and was proficient in military formations.

But even so, when he saw the opponent's defense line for the first time, he felt suddenly enlightened and shocked. It turns out that infantry can restrict cavalry in such a way.

More importantly, when the opponent was setting up the formation, there were still soldiers and horses waiting in line, guarding against his strategy of killing out of the city and forcing a war while their foothold was not stable.

"interesting."

Xu Rong pinched a strand of beard under his chin, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and couldn't help praising: "There must be someone who is proficient in formation among the bandit army, and this battle will definitely be a fierce battle."

"brothers!"

Xu Rong took a deep breath and became solemn.

All the generals and officers clapped their hands together: "Yes."

Xu Rong said loudly: "Beat the drum as a warning, the whole army is on combat readiness, there must be no mistakes."

All the soldiers: "No!"
