Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Inciting People
Wang Zheng talked eloquently, but He Hong still hesitated.

He didn't understand military affairs, but he could hear the implication of Wang Zheng's words. He obviously concluded that Hefei was not currently Sun Cejun's strategic target. So what would Wang Zheng do next, and what would Yuan Shu do?

"Zhou Mu's judgment is quite reasonable, but this matter has too much to do with it. Once the estimation is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous." After a pause, He Hong turned his head and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, what do you think about this matter?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, looked up at He Hong, and said calmly, "What Wang Zhoumu said is not impossible."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Zheng who was at the side again, but his eyes became a little complicated.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, even though he had repeatedly reminded himself not to take such trivial figures like Wang Zheng lightly, but maybe it was because a top-notch handsome guy was facing an ordinary-looking man of the same sex. The psychological advantage that will naturally arise when
In fact, Zhou Yu couldn't help but underestimate Wang Zheng.

Such mistakes must not be repeated!
While secretly reminding himself, Zhou Yu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zhoumu, just now you said that Sun Ce has gone south to Lujiang at this time, if the words come true, how should we respond?"

"I'm going to ask Zhou Xiancheng you." Wang Zheng smiled and said, "I heard that you are from Lujiang, so from what you can see, if Sun Ce attacks Lujiang, how many cities can be defended in Lujiang, and can you hold on to it?" A few days."

Zhou Yu thought about it and said: "In the last few battles last year, most of the elite soldiers in Lujiang County have been mobilized. Except for the county's Wancheng, there is almost no organized army. The situation is broken, but the news is not available now, and I don't know what the situation is."

Wang Zheng looked over in surprise when he heard the words.

Listen to the key points, any county city in the world is the center of the entire county, not only the rich people, merchants and officials all gather there, the number of defenders and the defense of the city are also the first in the county, foreign enemies want to break through Of course, the county government is much more difficult than other counties, which is common sense.

But Zhou Yu said this specifically, which shows that Wancheng's defense force is quite impressive, and the number of soldiers will exceed his expectations.

Wang Zheng asked immediately, "How many people are there in Wancheng?"

Before Zhou Yu could answer, He Hong who was at the side already said, "Wang Zhoumu, are you asking about the number of guards, or the total number?"

"What does He mean?" Wang Zheng said, "Could it be that there are still private soldiers in Wancheng?"

Zhou Yu said: "Wang Zhoumu made a good guess. There were [-] permanent troops in Wancheng, but last year, [-] cavalry and [-] veterans were transferred to Shouchun by the state herdsman. So far it is not enough, but there are many people in the city. There are [-] private soldiers of Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang."

Wang Zheng gasped when he heard the words. Damn, [-] private soldiers?
Who is Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang?
Wang Zheng, who was a novice in history, naturally didn't know that Liu Xun, like Zang Ba, was one of the representatives of local tyrants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Xun, Zizitai, a native of Langya, Xuzhou, was the magistrate of Peiguo Jianping in the last years of Zhongping. He was an old friend with Cao Cao and an old subordinate of Yuan Shu. Not to blame.

In the original history, after Yuan Shu's defeat, the remaining Yangzhou army led by his younger brother Yuan Yin, son-in-law Huang Yi and others also defected to Liu Xun, which greatly increased his power. With tens of thousands of troops, he began to attack Jiujiang County in the north. It started to nibble away, which made Sun Ce, who was facing each other across the river, extremely afraid.

In order to become the biggest heir to Yuan Shu's legacy, Sun Ce asked his wife's family, the Qiao family (the younger and younger Qiao are from Wancheng) to secretly instigate against the forces in Lujiang counties, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to Liu Xun with a generous gift, In the letter, Liu Xun praised Liu Xun, saying that Mr. Zitai's fame spread far and wide, and people admire him today. In the end, he asked Liu Xun for help as a weak person.

Sun Ce said that Shangliao often sent troops to harass his family. He was limited in strength and could only protect himself and could not go on an expedition. Therefore, he asked Liu Xun to send troops to surrender Shangliao and relieve his distress. He should be very grateful.

Seeing that Sun Ce, a young hero occupying the three counties, tried his best to please him, Liu Xun was extremely proud. Moreover, the Shangliao area was very rich, and Liu Xun also had a heart to covet it, so he immediately decided to send troops to Shangliao.

Needless to say what happened later, as soon as Liu Xun left Wancheng, Qiao's family opened the city gates. After Wancheng fell, not to mention the remaining counties, Sun Ce hardly encountered any decent people arriving in Hangzhou, so he was very happy. Quickly and smoothly captured Lujiang County.

On the other side, Liu Xun was unable to win the fierce attack on Shangliao. When he received an urgent report from the rear and knew that Sun Ce had captured Lujiang County, he realized that he had fallen into Sun Ce's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. He went to join his old friend Cao Cao.

But this matter also shows that Liu Xun's strength is extremely strong, and even the future bully Sun Ce is unwilling to fight head-on with him. At this time, even if he has not received part of Yuan Shu's inheritance, according to He Hong, Not only did Liu Xun's private soldiers number over ten thousand, but the army was also extremely well equipped, and its combat power was no less than that of any official army.

"If there are [-] elite soldiers in Wancheng, as long as Liu Xun doesn't underestimate the enemy and attack rashly, Sun Ce will indeed be unable to conquer them in a short time."

Wang Zheng pondered for a while, nodded and said: "However, the night will be long and dreamy, so we must not continue to be so passive."

"Could it be that Wang Zhoumu wanted to?"

Hearing this, He Hong felt a little uneasy. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but seeing that Wang Zheng ignored him, he suddenly slapped his palm on the desk. With a bang, a heavenly army came in and knelt down and said : "General."

"Immediately summon the leading generals of the various ministries to come here to discuss matters, and ask people to set up seats here."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Yu who was sitting beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister Zhou, where is your army?"

Looking at Wang Zheng's stern eyes, Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, and then took out a token from his side, and threw it at the soldiers next to him: "With this order, let all the generals above Dubo in the camp, Also come to discuss matters in the account."

"Here!"

He Hong was still confused at this moment, and just about to speak, Zhou Yu looked helplessly at his superior and said, "County magistrate, Wang Zhoumu intends to send troops from the city to attack Sun Ce's army."

Want to go out of the city to attack Sun Ce's army?
And judging from Wang Zheng's actions just now, he didn't even want to send out the heavenly army under his command, did he even want to send out the defenders?

He Hong jumped up in shock. Although most of Sun Cejun's offensives during this period were not violent, but occasionally when he was serious, his combat effectiveness was much better than that of the Hefei defenders, not to mention how important Hefei City is. , if you take the initiative to attack, in case something goes wrong
How serious is this consequence?

He Hong didn't expect Wang Zheng to have such an astonishing idea, and he advocated it arbitrarily without asking his consent at all. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Wang Zhoumu, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"What Mr. He said is true." Wang Zheng smiled calmly when he heard the words, and said, "Isn't it just to discuss this matter with the generals?"

There were more than 3000 defenders in Hefei City, plus more than 2000 soldiers from the Heavenly Army, and there were about 30 generals above Dubo who came to participate in the military meeting. Zhou Yu's camp was so large that he could sit there.

The Tianjun's side was better, but the sudden convening of a military meeting caused many generals of the Hefei Army to be puzzled.

At this time, seeing that the seats in the camp were almost full, Wang Zheng looked at Zhou Yu and saw that he nodded slightly, which meant that all the people in Hefei had arrived. His eyes slowly scanned the audience like a knife.

Under the influence of Gao Charisma, everyone saw Wang Zheng holding his sword and wearing armor, standing with his head held high. His already tall and straight figure looked more majestic and majestic at this moment, like a god. Shut up, hold your breath, and sit up straight.

All of a sudden, there was no sound in the tent, and it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

In the solemn and depressing atmosphere, it seemed that after a long time, and it seemed that it was only a moment, Wang Zheng spoke again.

"Hefei City has been standing up to now, and it happens to be No.11. During these eleven days, you all worked together to face the adversity."

"Hefei is as solid as a rock so far, and the enemy has not made an inch of it. This is all thanks to the strength of everyone here!"

Wang Zheng's tone was very peaceful, and he didn't raise his voice deliberately, but when it fell into the ears of everyone present, he felt that the voice was very loud and clear, and he could hear every word and every sentence clearly. Blushing, because Wang Zheng's words of "relying on the strength of everyone here" can be counted as including them.

But today they participated in the first defense of the city. Since the enemy's offensive was not violent, the heavenly army did not say that they killed the enemy and won the battle. He didn't make any contribution, and when he heard this, arrogant soldiers and mighty generals like them felt ashamed and felt ashamed.

"However." Seeing that Wang Zheng's words changed abruptly, he said again: "No matter how good the defense is, you can't defeat the enemy in the end!"

"In the past few days, the city has been surrounded by powerful soldiers, and the thieves are raging outside the city, which will inevitably make the people panic. Therefore, after discussing with the county lord and the county magistrate, I feel that this stalemate will not last long after all. plan."

"If you want to win, you have to turn from defense to attack and take the initiative to attack. This general intends to lead the warriors out of the city in person and defeat the enemy. What do you think?"

Hearing this, He Hong was filled with fear and anger. When did I agree that we can't go on like this?

When did you agree that if you want to win, you have to turn the defense into an offense and go out to attack?
Is this the way your Wang Zheng talked about the negotiation?

The more He Hong thought about it, the more he became annoyed. Wang Zheng analyzed that Sun Ce's army was a feint attack on Hefei. He Hong thought it was quite reasonable. .
In his mind, the most important thing is Hefei City!
He Hong is the county lord of Hefei, and if Hefei is not lost, then there is no fault. Yuan Shu and Liu Xun should worry about Lujiang!

Thinking of this, He Hong couldn't help feeling angry at Wang Zheng, and was about to refute, when he saw Wang Zheng suddenly turn his head and look at him while he was speaking, for some reason, but this calm, water-like glance made He Hong's heart tremble suddenly, Immediately, I felt cold all over my body as if I had fallen into an ice cave!
The chill came so unexpectedly that even the raging flames of anger in his heart seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water and extinguished immediately.

Seeing that He Hong's face turned pale in an instant, Wang Zheng withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, looked around at the crowd, and continued his eloquent talk: "The Prime Minister of Zhou County and this general agreed that Sun Cejun's feigned attack must have been a fraud, or it was a trick. Suspicious formation, attacking east and west, if we continue to sit and defend Hefei like this, I am afraid that it will delay the opportunity of the battle and make the enemy bigger, and it will be even more difficult to deal with!"

"Therefore, this general thinks that we need to take the initiative to attack immediately, slay bandits and kill thieves, lest the enemy's tricks succeed!"

After speaking, Wang Zheng paused every word, and his voice was still not loud, but it made everyone in the tent more excited as they listened. They seemed to hear the great firmness and categorical determination contained in Wang Zheng's words.

When the last word was finished, all the generals in the tent, except Zhou Yu and He Hong, stood up and responded loudly: "The general said it is true!"

"The last general is willing to follow the general to kill the bandits and fight the enemy to the death!"

When He Hong was dumbfounded, Zhou Yu on the side watched coldly, awe-inspiring and amazed at the same time.

Although he is a civil servant of the county magistrate, because of the strategic significance of Hefei itself, and Zhou Yu's nature is more military-oriented, since the first day in Hefei, he has actually had a lot of contacts with the generals in the city, dealing with them every day.

So Zhou Yu understands the dubs in the account by asking himself. To be honest, most of these people are not brave and brave.

And the eloquence shown by Wang Zheng just now can only be regarded as the talent of the middle class.
Then why did Wang Zheng stir up the atmosphere in the tent so thoroughly with a few words?

Even myself. In fact, there was such a short moment, my heart was stirred up by listening to it, and I had the urge to echo it?
The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Naturally, he didn't know that this was the miracle produced by the simultaneous activation of the charm and "persuasion" talent on the Wangzheng system panel.And if it weren't for Zhou Yu's fortitude far surpassing ordinary people, and Wang Zheng's mobilization on a large scale this time instead of acting on Zhou Yu alone
The effect could be even more terrifying!
While Zhou Yu was thinking, Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and immediately revealed his own battle plan.

Wang Zheng set the time to attack at midnight tonight.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, with the cavalry on both sides of the Tian army and the defenders as the vanguard, a total of [-] people covered their horses' feet to cover their mouths, and quietly left the city until they approached Sun Ce's camp. The left and right wings of the enemy camp launch a charge!
The remaining infantry will temporarily stand still, depending on the results achieved by the cavalry.

If the cavalry can give full play to their mobility after rushing into the camp, then they only need to set fires everywhere and directly destroy Sun Ce's camp first, then not only can they win the victory, but also boost the morale of the defenders.

Next, either the infantry is dispatched, and the whole army presses down to take advantage of the victory to pursue, or the cavalry withdraws to the city, waiting for an opportunity to fight again.

Zhou Yu meditated on Wang Zheng's plan and scrutinized it carefully. He didn't find anything incomplete for the time being, and there were only two points to say.

One, according to common sense, more than a thousand cavalry can achieve little results in killing the enemy, unless Sun Ce's army has a Xiaobat!
But this is basically impossible. Sun Cejun, as the siege party, did not suffer much casualties during the siege during this period. As long as there is no problem with food and grass, it is impossible to be flustered to the point of screaming just because of a night attack.

Second, a plan is just a plan after all, and implementation may not be as smooth as imagined. Although Zhou Yu's current combat experience is not rich, he has also discovered that when it comes to the real battlefield, it changes rapidly, and it is impossible to force it by the art of war!
More than 1000 cavalry had to sneak into the vicinity of the enemy camp without being detected in advance, and then formed a scissors-like formation in the enemy camp, killing a circle on the left and right, and then gathered together to rush back. This seems easy, but it is actually quite difficult to implement.

It's okay outside the camp, but once they enter the enemy camp, they are two different armies, and they are scattered on both sides. Can the cavalry still keep pace?

If one side is blocked by Sun Ce's army and the attack is frustrated, it will inevitably make the other cavalry army alone!
Moreover, Wang Zheng also arranged for infantry to hold the formation in the distance.
Once Sun Cejun reacts, he can consider encircling and eliminating one of the cavalry with all his strength, and then defeat each of them. Then the more than 1000 cavalry
I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out!
