Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

162 Chapter 161
"Young master, our army has three times the strength of Lu Bu, why did we delay fighting?"

On the front line of Linqu, in Yuan Jun's Dazhai, Wen Chou, a hulking, burly man with rough and dark skin, challenged angrily to fight.

He and Yan Liang are both generals of the three armies of the Northern Kingdom, and the friendship between him and Yan Liang, who were born and died together, can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship.

Hearing that Yan Liang was captured alive by Cao Cao, he was angry and anxious, wishing he could kill Lu Ying immediately, and after defeating Lu Bu, he joined forces with Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao and rescue Yan Liang.

"That's right, my lord, please send out the last [-] elite soldiers, and they will definitely defeat Lu Bu!"

"Young master, the final general is willing to issue a military order. If he wins, he will be willing to be a military law!"

"My lord, please allow me to start a war with Lu Bu, so that I can rescue General Yan Liang as soon as possible!"

Yan Liang usually doesn't talk much, but following Yuan Shao for many years, he not only has a high prestige in the barracks, but also has a good popularity, so Han Ju, Zhao Rui and others also asked to fight.

Yuan Tan, who was sitting on the handsome chair in the Chinese army tent, felt a little bit like sitting on pins and needles. He clearly knew that the group of people under Yan Liang's capture could not sit still anymore.

Familiarize yourself with the terrain first, find Lu Jun's weaknesses, and then attack with all your strength. This is the policy he decided after discussing with Tian Feng, Xin Ping and others.

On the opposite side is Lu Bu, Lu Bu, who is so powerful in Hulaoguan, and Lin Mo behind him, how can you be careless.

In fact, the calmest person in the Yuan family should belong to Yuan Tan. He didn't feel arrogant because of the large number of soldiers and horses. On the contrary, he was still cautious and cautious.

There is no way, because this battle is not only about whether the Yuan family can further expand its territory, but also determines whether his eldest son can secure his position.

However, the group of generals below couldn't think so much, the warriors were full of spirits, and only felt that they should do something for Yan Liang.

Yuan Tan pressed his hands together, signaling for everyone to be quiet, frowned and sighed: "Everyone, General Yan Liang is our general in the Northern Kingdom, he was captured by mistake, I am as sad as you are, but Lu Bu is like a fierce tiger, he is not easy to deal with.

In addition, the terrain of Luying is narrow, and it can accommodate up to 4 to [-] people to fight at the same time. Our army's advantages cannot be brought into play. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. "

This is the same sentence again, Wen Chou has heard it many times, this time he does not intend to hold back, cupping his fists and said: "My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the lord has always been decisive in deploying troops, but now you are in charge of your own affairs, why are you so indecisive.

If there is no strategy to defeat the enemy, please allow the last general to return to the command of the lord, willing to follow the lord to conquer Cao Ying and rescue Yan Liang! "

The lord made a decisive decision?are you serious?Tian Feng and Xin Ping glanced at Wen Chou, a little speechless.

"General Wen wait a moment!"

Yuan Tan hurriedly stood up from the handsome chair, walked in front of Wen Chou and pulled him back, despite his displeasure, he managed to force out a smile and said, "It's about attacking, so I always need to give me some time to prepare.

Wait another three days, after three days, I will definitely let you lead the army to attack the stronghold! "

In the final analysis, Wen Chou is a reckless man with a straightforward temperament, but he is not too malicious. Yuan Tan knows this, and it is nothing more than worrying about Yan Liang's safety.

What's more, the purpose of leading the army to pull up the Qingzhou front this time is to establish an irreplaceable prestige in the army, and Yan Liangwen and Chou are all figures in the army. If they have their support and support, this matter will be more than half successful.

Therefore, even though this somewhat violated the original intention, Yuan Tan still chose to compromise.

"In this way, the general will wait for the good news of your son!"

Yuan Tan turned to look at Han Ju, Zhao Rui and the others, and said in a deep voice, "You generals, you can go back to the camp to prepare. Our army will take action within three days at most."

"Here!"

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief after all the generals withdrew from the Chinese military account one after another. This commander-in-chief position is not so easy to sit on. Emotions are enough of a headache.

Yuan Tan, who sat back in the handsome chair, looked helplessly at Tian Feng and the others, "Let's talk about it, whether there is a good way to defeat the enemy."

"Lü Bu's soldiers and horses are inferior to ours, and he wanted to take advantage of the terrain in the front line. If our army forcibly attacks the village, it may become a tactic of adding fuel, and in the end it will become a disease."

Obviously, Tian Feng did not agree with the method of attacking, and then said: "I have carefully examined the terrain of this place, and think that Qishan is usable, why not send [-] troops to occupy Qishan, condescending, and restrain the actions of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses .

Even if you want to attack later, you can still attack from two lines. "

"I second it." Xin Ping also bowed to agree.

The biggest advantage of occupying Qishan is that the soldiers and horses invested in the front line can be more abundant than the single line, and the advantages of troops can be brought into play.

At the same time, the entire battlefield can be overlooked from Mount Qi. Once Lu Bu makes any changes, the troops stationed on the mountain can respond immediately.

It has to be said that this is a very safe way.

If Yuan Shao hadn't repeatedly emphasized not to divide troops unless necessary, he would have adopted this suggestion without hesitation.

Dividing the troops, Yuan Tan frowned and rubbed his chin, before finally denying this choice.

He deliberately changed the subject and asked: "These days I have been sending people to secretly monitor Zhang Yang. His behavior has not been out of the circle and he rarely leaves his camp. If he is asked to write a letter to his former colleagues to persuade him to surrender, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Tian Feng pursed his lips and frowned, "Unless our army gains a huge advantage, or we can send them to persuade them to surrender, the outcome is not yet decided, and the war has not yet started, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

"And what?" Yuan Tan looked suspicious.

Tian Feng finally just shook his head, seemed to swallow back what he wanted to say, and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing, Zhang Taishou is very useful, and there is no need to play right now."

Yuan Tan nodded knowingly, and finally said in a deep voice: "I understand the opinions of all gentlemen, but the soldiers' desire to fight fiercely must not be ignored. I intend to lead the troops to challenge outside the Luying stronghold in three days. If I can lure them out of the stronghold Just hit head-on, even if you can't, it's good to frustrate their spirit."

Several people looked at each other, as long as they don't storm the camp, such a choice is not bad.

Moderate provocation and war seem to be moderate, but after a long time, it is indeed a big blow to the morale of the enemy.

"Maybe we can give it a try." Several people really couldn't think of a good solution, so they could only second the proposal.

Although his proposal was not immediately adopted, he was still very happy in his heart, because Yuan Tan was different from Yuan Shao in that he could still listen to his own words.

Once upon a time, Yuan Shao was also a wise master who learned from others and practiced good things. As he stood higher and higher, the people under his opponent no longer had the patience they used to.

Perhaps because of this, he could see the future of Beiguo from Yuan Tan and couldn't help but want to guide him a little bit more, "My lord feels that he can succeed in luring the enemy this time, and when and where will he have the best chance to succeed?" ?”

Seeing that Tian Feng was following the temptation carefully, Yuan Tan began to ponder seriously. After a while, he raised his eyes and said: "There is at least a [-]% chance of winning the strategy of war. It may have been when we withdrew before nightfall, for that is when our troops are most exhausted."

Tian Feng nodded and cast admiring glances. He was indeed more proficient in military art than the second and third sons, and immediately added: "If I were Lin Mo, I would choose to rob the camp at night after the enemy army was exhausted and retreated."

Yuan Tan rolled his eyes, and immediately reacted, nodding his head frequently, "Sir, it's a good idea. Next, we will focus on setting up ambush in the two places of returning to the camp in the afternoon and strictly guarding the camp."

Sure enough, I can learn a lot from Tian Feng, and I have benefited a lot these days.

On Lu Ying's side, seeing that Lin Mo hadn't moved for a long time, Lu Bu could still sit still. After all, he hoped that Cao Cao's side would come out more.

But Wei Xu and the others couldn't bear it anymore, their hearts always seemed to be scratched by a cat.

"Yunwen, I think the current of Juyangshui is quite fast. Do you want to block it again? At the critical moment, dig up the sandbags and flood Yuanying, just like the Lujiang River did to Liu Xun."

"It's not bad to rob the camp. Now the Northern Army's strength is three times that of ours. It is expected that we will not dare to attack rashly. If I bring hundreds of people to rob the camp at night, it may have a miraculous effect."

Wei Xu is treating Yuan Tan as Liu Xun, right? It doesn't matter if his brain is not working well, his eyes should be good. Yuanying is at least seven or eight miles away from Juyangshui, how big is that water.

What Hou Cheng said, Lin Mo directly chose to ignore it. It is likely that the eight hundred guards who watched the battle of Liao God Guangling showed their magical powers and wanted to reproduce it.

Generally, Lu Bu would let them go if it wasn't too much. When the atmosphere was not right, Lu Bu's eyes could immediately scare them into quails.

Even so, Lin Mo felt uncomfortable. These guys belong to toads and don’t bite. They are disgusting. They are like a fly all day long. Sorry, not one, but a group of flies buzzing around your ears.

"How is it? Everyone has been looking at it for a few days. Do you have any clues?" Before the Taiwan case, Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun and others gathered around a piece of sheepskin blueprint and looked at it.

"The terrain in this area is complicated. If you want to talk about the land where grain is stored, there are more than hundreds of thousands. I'm afraid it's meaningless after all just looking at the map."

Chen Gong's words were slightly frustrating, but they also caused everyone to nod their heads. Obviously, after a few days of reading, there was nothing to gain.

Lin Mo shrugged, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Well, I didn't see any valuable clues either."

The most direct way to defeat the strong with the weak is of course to burn the opponent's food and grass, force the opponent to retreat, and then the army rushes forward to strangle them.

But food and grass are the lifeblood, and it is really futile to just look at the map.

There was no way, Yuan Tan naturally hoped that they would lead someone to rush out of this passage that was only five miles wide, while Lin Mo hoped that the other party would get carried away and rush to attack, highlighting a refueling tactic.

In this case, there will inevitably be a protracted confrontation, and in the end it will be seen who makes a mistake first.

In fact, this is the normal state of war. Without the blessing of prophetic skills, how could it continue to be invincible.

"I'm considering whether to divide some soldiers and horses to station on Mount Qi. The terrain is dangerous there, where you can overlook the overall situation, and you may even catch the traces of the Northern Army's grain trucks." Lin Mo put away an idea after putting away the sheepskin drawings.

"It's a big taboo for military strategists to station troops in Baoyuan Xi, isn't Yunwen worried that they will attack with fire?" Jia Xu's mouth twitched, a little horrified at this suggestion.

"Will not."

Lin Mo walked to the sand table and pointed to the location of Mount Qi, "I went up to Mount Qi that day, and there were many open spaces on it. If the army had done a good job of breaking fire around them, there would be no major problems."

Moreover, Mount Qi is a mountain range, not an isolated mountain, and there will be no situation where Ma Di is besieged but does not attack, and the water source is cut off.

In Qishan Mountain, there will be more flexible tactical options, and there is no need to go to too many people, 5000 people are almost enough.

While everyone was still discussing, Lu Bu had already walked in leading a group of generals.

"Yunwen, the Northern Army is here." He walked towards the handsome chair in a hurry, and when everyone heard this, they all stood at their designated positions and prepared to discuss troops.

"The scouts came to report just now. Tens of thousands of people rushed out of Yuanzhai and came towards us. The central army has Yuan Tan's banner and Wen Chou's flag. It seems that they are preparing to attack us."

Did he lose his patience so quickly? Lin Mo felt a little strange. Tian Feng is not a brainless person. Either there is some conspiracy hidden here, or Yuan Tan, like his father, can't listen to other voices.

In fact, Yuan Tan was a very controversial person in history, and he performed well in the past. He defeated Kong Rong, annexed Qingzhou, and his governance was well-organized.

The biggest gossip comes from the fact that he asked his enemy Cao Cao for help in order to fight against Yuan Shang, the new lord of the Northern Kingdom who was appointed by Pang Ji and was elected by Pang Ji's will. The result was to speed up the progress of Cao Cao's annexation of the four states.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel that there is nothing wrong with it, because Yuan Shang will definitely not let Yuan Tan survive if he wants to secure his position as the Lord of the Northern Kingdom. Although joining Cao Cao, he is seeking skin from a tiger, at least there is a chance of survival.

"It's nothing else, most likely it's to start a war. I think our army will rush out of the camp and fight with them in the wilderness. This will slowly wear us down. Even if we fight evenly every time, our army will be in danger after a long time." Chen said. Gong soon came to a judgment.

Lu Bu didn't think the standard approach was too new. He just glanced at Lin Mo subconsciously, and seeing that the latter had no objection, he raised his hand and said, "Let all the ministries stand in line, bows and crossbows will not be fired, and wait to see what the Northern Army intends to do."

This meeting can only be forbearing and being a coward, for the sake of the overall victory, not to be ashamed.

Not long after, billowing dust could be seen in the distance, and banners covering the sky and the sun were floating. The Northern Army had no fewer than 4 or [-] people. They were neatly formed in two square formations. The cavalry, infantry, crossbows, and even chariots were well matched. in Apple pie order.

When he came outside Lu Ying, Wen Chou did not rush out as Lu Bu hoped, clamoring for a fight, but chose to directly beat the drums to provoke.

Naturally, it is impossible for Lu Bu to go out rashly, so let them knock.

"My lord Yuezhang, the enemy's provocations are inevitably meant to be insulting. My lord Yuezhang should be aware of this, so..." Lin Mo looked at the old father-in-law with a sneer.

Lu Bu put his hand on Lin Mo's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You can rest assured about this, I won't lose my temper because of a few naughty words about what is expected."

At the beginning, whether it was under Shouchun City or Guangling City, my own people scolded a lot of nasty words. This was a routine operation, and it was not worth making a fuss about.

Lu Bu felt that he had also practiced his Qi-nourishing technique in the past two years, and he was ready to be greeted.

After the three-way drum passed, hundreds of people from the Beiguo army were dispatched to sit on the ground within a stone's throw of Lu Ying's gate, and started cursing mother-in-law without integrity.

"The slaves of the three surnames come out and fight with my grandfather for three hundred rounds!"

"Come out and see if I don't shoot you!"

"Who is Lu Bu and Chitu among horses? Shit, dare to fight me?"

"The servants of the three surnames can only play tricks, if you really dare to come out, I will let you use your hands and feet."
