Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 473 Beacon Tower! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friends 2024…2517~)

Facing Mrs. Guo's slander, Feng Ji slapped the table and replied harshly:

"Stop talking nonsense here! When did I ever say that I would send out the entire army?
"If you have a better idea, just tell me!

"But I think, with your brain, you won't be able to come up with any strategy other than a head-on fight!"

"What did you say?!"

Guo Tai was furious. He immediately stood up, drew his sword, and glared at Feng Ji:

"Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?!"

Seeing that Mrs. Guo had once again drawn her sword in public without caring about his presence, Yang Feng slammed the table and glared at Mrs. Guo fiercely:

"General Guo! If you don't want to attend the meeting, just leave! No one will stop you!"

Mr. Guo looked at Yang Feng in disbelief, obviously not expecting the other party to speak for Feng Ji.

However, after noticing Yang Feng's unhappy expression, Guo Tai opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing and left angrily.

After Mrs. Guo left, Yang Feng's expression eased slightly, and he turned to Feng Ji and said:

“The plan of the Feng Hujun army does have its merits.

“But if the enemy is prepared, our army may not be able to gain an advantage in a head-on conflict.

"And you have to know that the enemy's leader is the famous Little Overlord Sun Ce!

"If they hadn't met Lu Bu head-on, they would have dominated Jiangdong long ago.

"And don't forget, the enemy also has terrible weapons like gunpowder jars.

"If our army launches a frontal charge, they will definitely throw gunpowder cans.

“Even if the enemy’s overall energy is insufficient, with the protection of the gunpowder jars and the advantage in manpower, it will be difficult for our army to gain any advantage.

"So, let's think of some safer methods."

Seeing that Yang Feng was unwilling to adopt his plan, Feng Ji could only sit down with a sullen face.

Having just been slandered by Mrs. Guo, his already unhappy mood was now filled with even more anger.

Now that Yang Feng had rejected his proposal, his dissatisfaction reached its peak!

If he had known he would be treated like this, he might as well have agreed to Zhang Song's request...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Feng Ji himself was shocked.

But soon, his expression became calm, and I don't know what he was thinking...

Seeing that Feng Ji stopped talking, Yang Feng could only place his hopes on Xu You who was standing beside him:

"Mr. Xu, do you have any other ideas?"

Xu You showed a mysterious smile, straightened his back and said:
“The enemy has come from afar, and since Wudu County is mountainous, their food supply route must be narrow and rugged.

"If we can find the enemy's food and fodder transfer station and burn it, cutting off the enemy's food supply route, the enemy will surely come back to rescue.

"Then the general can lead another 10,000 soldiers out of the city to attack the enemy camp.

"When the enemy's morale is greatly reduced, even with gunpowder jars, it will be difficult to stop our attack!

"It will be easy to repel the enemy then."

After hearing Xu You's plan, Yang Feng's pupils suddenly gathered:
“This method... sounds good.

“After all, food and fodder are the lifeblood of an army, and food routes are the key to maintaining that lifeblood.

“If we can cut off the enemy’s food supply, it can indeed deal a double blow to the enemy both physically and mentally.

"After that, even if our army does not attack the enemy's camp, the enemy's pressure will be doubled.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before they will retreat on their own initiative!"

Feng Ji suddenly laughed secretly.

If you don't take the initiative to attack, do you expect the enemy to withdraw directly because their food supply has been cut off?
If it were someone else, maybe it would be possible.

But if it were the little tyrant of Jiangdong, he would probably choose to attack the city by force and use the food and grass in the city to survive!

But at this moment, Feng Ji no longer wanted to warn the other party. Anyway, the other party would not believe him, so was there any need to say more?

However, what surprised Feng Ji was that with Xu You's intelligence, he should be able to realize this problem.

However, Xu You directly bowed and praised Yang Feng:

"General, you are right. As long as we have no food, the enemy will retreat."

Yang Feng was flattered and smiled happily:
"Okay! Let's follow your plan. Who do you think is the best person to send to cut off the enemy's food supply?"

Xu You immediately replied:

"General Guo is brave and good at fighting. He can lead an army of 10,000 to ambush in Wanxiang Cave.

“Once the enemy’s food supply route is repaired, General Guo can take advantage of the enemy’s attack on our city to burn the food supply route.

“Then our army’s goal can be achieved in one fell swoop.

"As for how to respond to General Guo, we can make a decision based on the situation at that time."

Yang Feng smiled meaningfully and nodded immediately:

"Okay, let's do as you say! Someone, invite General Guo back and tell him that I have an important task for him!"

Guo Tai, who had just walked out of the prefectural mansion, suddenly heard that Yang Feng was going to send him to fight, so he returned to the mansion.

Then, at Yang Feng's signal, he led an army of 10,000 out of the city and ambushed in the secret Wanxiang Cave in the east of the city.

As Yang Feng was ready, Sun Ce on the other side finally led his army along the waterway and arrived at the south of Xiabian City.

While the soldiers were carrying supplies to the shore, Zhou Yu observed the surrounding terrain.

At first glance, there was no place to ambush.

Moreover, the enemy did not leave the city to fight in the field, probably because they were afraid of the Little Overlord's reputation.

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly noticed that there was a ditch in the southwest direction, and his heart was suddenly startled.

If the enemy ambushed in the low-lying area near the river, they would not be able to discover it immediately due to their limited vision.

If the enemy troops lying in ambush here suddenly attack them when they are setting up camp, it will have a significant impact on them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately ordered Le Jin and Li Dian to lead 5,000 soldiers to check it out.

But after a while, the two generals led their troops back and reported to Zhou Yu:
"Military Advisor, there are only a few villagers living near Daijiagou, and there are no ambushes for the enemy."

After listening to their reports, Zhou Yu showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Sun Ce said with a smile:

"Perhaps Zhang Song's strategy of sowing discord worked, so the enemy general did not adopt Feng Ji and his men's plan.

"Gongjin, don't worry too much. Even if there is an ambush, I can make them come vertically and stay horizontally!"

Seeing Sun Ce's confidence, Zhou Yu believed in his ability and felt relieved:

“Speaking of which, our food and fodder can only last for half a month.

"There are too many mountains in Liangzhou, and the waterways are winding, so the transportation of food and fodder is very slow.

"We have to be careful that the enemy may attack our food or food routes."

Although Sun Ce is reckless, he is not stupid.

In addition, the questions raised by Zhou Yu were indeed crucial, so they were taken seriously.

However, Sun Ce still said helplessly:
"Gong Jin's worries are not without reason, but the grain route from Hanzhong to here stretches nearly a hundred miles.

“If we send soldiers to guard every transit station, I’m afraid my 50,000-strong army won’t be enough.

"Gongjin, do you have any solution for this?"

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said:
“You can send Generals Cao Chun and Cao Ang to lead 5,000 men to patrol back and forth along the grain route.

"And have each transfer station set up beacon towers. Once an enemy attack occurs, light the beacon towers immediately!
"This way, Cao Chun and the other two can rush over to provide support!"
