Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 469
"Since Zhou Mu is confident, it's okay." Tao Ze said, "Then please spread out the map, and I will tell you about these ferries at the end."

After Tao Ze finished pointing out to everyone, Wei Yan suddenly said, "Captain Tao, do you think Sun Ce also knows about these locations?"

Tao Ze was startled when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Isn't Sun Ce from Wu County? He may not be very familiar with the terrain of Shucheng, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and Zhou Hui immediately shook his head and said: "Lieutenant Tao doesn't know that Sun Bofu lived in Shucheng for several years when he was young, this matter must be investigated, let alone guarded against. "

"That's right." Wang Zheng also said: "Even if there is no such origin, it may not be impossible. Although Sun Ce is young, he is a natural general. He must also know that understanding mountains and rivers and geography are the basic qualities of a general. , since he came to Koushu City, he also knew that if he wanted to break the city, he had to cross the river first, so why didn't he do a thorough investigation in advance?"

"Based on the general's prediction, I am afraid that Sun Ce must have paid attention to these shallow and narrow ports that are easy to cross, and set up troops to prepare for the siege."

At this time Wei Yan suddenly stepped out, clasped his fists and said: "I observed carefully in the first battle yesterday, please show the young master and Wang Zhoumu the situation map of Sun Ce's encampment."

Wang Zheng nodded, and ordered some objects to be fetched, and ordered them to be placed on the map one by one according to Wei Yan's instructions.

"Everyone, please take a look." Wei Yan pointed to the map and said, "The moat of Shucheng is the Beihe River which is a little farther away and flows into the sea in the north. The Nanyang River is closer and surrounds Shucheng. It not only covers the north side, but also the east and west sides of the city. It is completely surrounded by this river. The width of the water is several feet."

"Although Sun Ce's army and horses in these three directions are not too many, they form a line from east, north, and west. This is exactly the formation of long snakes. It is the so-called attacking the head and responding to the tail. If we send troops to cross the river rashly, the consequences can be imagined. We will inevitably fall into their front and rear echoes. Don’t talk about going out of the city to the north of the Lujiang River, I’m afraid it’s impossible to protect ourselves .”

Wang Zheng asked, "According to Brother Wei, what should our army do?"

Wei Yan was silent for a while, but there was nothing he could do.It has only been less than two hours since I got the news.Wang Zhengneng quickly made a decision, determined to use the army and horses in the city to re-open the passage to the north of the Lujiang River as soon as possible.

It’s just that the big picture is easy to talk about, but it’s not easy to go down to the detailed implementation steps. Although one person counts the disadvantages and two people count the strengths, wisdom can’t be multiplied by the superposition of the number of people.

Zhou Hui also said with emotion: "If you want to avoid Sun Ce's eyes and ears and leave the city while ensuring the safety of Shucheng, it is really difficult. Even if the ovary is reborn, it is expected that there will be no good strategy immediately."

Everyone was silent, and the tent fell into a silence that could be heard falling needles.

Wang Zheng frowned, stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhou, how did the messenger from the north of the Lujiang River enter the city?"

Zhou Hui said: "This man is Liu Xun's deputy general. From what he said, the process of entering the city was quite difficult. He originally brought a hundred elite riders with him, but now there are only ten riders left. It can be said that they are completely lost."

"Oh?"

When Wang Zheng heard the words, his eyes flickered sharply, and Baiqi would be able to tear through Sun Ce's heavy siege and enter the city smoothly?
interesting.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Zheng suddenly laughed: "It seems that this brother also went through a brutal fight when he entered the city, so the commotion is not small?"

Zhou Hui nodded.

"Then does Sun Ce know that this is the remnant of Liu Xun?"

Wang Zheng looked around: "It's unbelievable that this messenger can charge into the city with a hundred horsemen. Everyone, could it be that Sun Ce deliberately indulged him?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

At this time, Sun Ce was also sitting in the tent, listening intently to a captain.

The lieutenant was the one who intercepted Liu Xun's remaining troops not long ago. After inquiring about the whole process in detail, Sun Ce praised with satisfaction: "Very good. You have done a good job in this job. Your contribution will be indispensable to defeating the thieves in the future."

Looking at the generals in the tent again, he said in a deep voice: "Liu Xun's remnants have successfully entered the city. It is expected that all the counties in the north of the Lujiang River will be in my hands. At this time, Lizi has already learned that everyone, if you are Wang Zheng, what will happen at this time?" How to deal with it?"

Wang Zheng guessed right, Liu Xun's remnants were not as powerful as Tai Shici, and the elite led by Sun Ce was far from comparable to the yellow scarf bandits led by Guan Hai. The result of Sun Ce's deliberate indulgence.

One of the generals turned around, and it was Huang Gai: "Young General, the north of the Lujiang River has fallen, and Linhu and Xiang'an have also fallen into my hands. Hefei is even more overwhelmed. Today's Shucheng has been cut off from foreign aid and has become an isolated city, not to mention Wangzheng. That day the troops were divided into two groups, and the other group of troops was the land route passing through Yuzhou, so Long Shu is the main throat they must pass through!"

"Wang Zheng must have been flustered when he heard about this. If not, he will dispatch troops to take Long Shu back from Brother Demou first."

De Mou is exactly Cheng Pu's name. After beheading Liu Xun, he wanted to come to Shucheng to meet Sun Ce, but was ordered by Sun Ce to continue stationing in Longshu to guard against Wu Sheng's troops that might appear.

"Haha, well said."

Sun Ce smiled mockingly: "Wang Yukou's sword is slanted, and even the fighting style of his generals is the same. Since his uprising, whenever he encounters difficulties, he will inevitably take risks, and he will never sit still and wait for death."

"In view of the public opinion, how many troops will Wang Zheng send to take back Long Shu?"

Huang Gai pondered for a while and said:
"Although Wang Zheng is young, he has also experienced battles for a long time. He is a veteran on the battlefield. He must know the importance. Now that our army is approaching the city, he will definitely not randomly move the defenders in the city. At least four to five thousand troops will be left behind. There is no loss in Baoshu City. What's more."

"What's more?"

Huang Gai said: "What's more, Zhou Hui is not his subordinate, even if Wang Zheng wants to raise an army, Zhou Hui may not agree, so Wang Zheng can only order the 3000 troops he brought into the city at most."

"3000 people?"

Sun Ce waved his hands and snorted coldly, "Where are there so many?"With 4000 troops, he defeated Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of elites from Jizhou that day. It can be said that he shocked the world and was full of vigor. I dare to say that this thief has already lost his eyes and is becoming more and more arrogant. Within three days, there must be people in Shucheng Kill out, and up to 2000 people! "

"The most important thing is that Wang Zheng will definitely go out in person again!"

Sun Ce's analysis was well-founded, and all the generals claimed it was true.

Some people were worried because of this and said: "Looking at the first battle yesterday, there are many yellow scarf thieves in the city who are brave, and it is said that Wang Zheng is born with supernatural power and has the courage that a man should not be. If our army can't stop it, it will be a trouble!"

Sun Ce laughed and said, "What's the trouble? I would have wished for it!"

"What does the major general mean?"

Sun Ce stood up against the table and looked around at the crowd. His handsome face was full of toughness and resoluteness, and he looked very handsome:
"If you think it's troublesome, why did you deliberately let Liu Xun's remnants enter the city?"

"Don't you guys see that if Wang Zheng leaves the city, it will not only increase our chances of capturing Shucheng, but also behead him in one fell swoop, causing chaos in Xuzhou Yellow Turban?"

The generals looked at each other, and many people suddenly came to their senses. Huang Gai was the first to show excitement, and rushed to speak: "Young General, you mean to kill two birds with one stone?"

"good."

Sun Ce glanced out of the tent and said, "Our army went out in May, and it has been nearly two months. Seeing that summer is going to autumn, if we don't get rid of this powerful enemy before the autumn harvest, what should we do if we drag it until winter?"

"Besides, the soldiers traveled through mountains and rivers, and fought thousands of miles in ten months. They are also a little tired, and they are reborn. Moreover, the transportation of military rations is not easy. After Shucheng, there is a more difficult Hefei that needs to be conquered. It is really impossible for me to hang the army deep. In the city of Shucheng for a long time, the art of war says, long time is the teacher, and the teacher is useless. Therefore, the battle of Shucheng should be decided quickly!"

"How to win a quick battle? This general said yesterday that there is only one way to win a quick battle. That is to do everything possible to transfer Wang Zheng and his elite out of the city and force him to fight with me!"

"If we can get rid of this person, what is the rest like Zhou Hui and others? Shucheng will not be able to defeat himself!"

"It's also God helping me. This Liu Xun's remnant just happened to come, and he was going to let him into the city on purpose, just to lure this Zhuzi out of the city."

Sun Ce clapped his hands and laughed, "As long as he is willing to go out of the city, I would have killed this son at all costs!"

All the generals suddenly realized the situation, and they all bowed and praised: "The temple of the major general! The last general bows down."

Sun Ce laughed and said, "What kind of temple counts as gods? Flattery is avoided! Since this is the case, let me ask you, if Zhuzi wants to leave the city, which side will he go?"

Han Dang, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, thought for a moment, and replied first: "There is the main force of our army stationed in the south of the city, so I will definitely not take the stones. I can only choose one of the north, east, and west sides of the city."

"North of the city, east or west, which side will he choose?"

Huang Gai said: "Didn't the Major General say that there are several ferries on the east and west sides? The water surface is narrow and the river is shallow. The Yellow Turban bandits may choose these two sides, but."

"Ok?"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and looked sideways.

"It's just that the major general set up his camp, and the camp formation used on the north, east, and west sides of the city is a long snake formation. The family background of Shuzi Caojiao may not be known, but Tao Ze, the captain of Shucheng County, is a veteran in the battlefield, the county lord Zhou Hui It is even more about the origin of family education, the origin of a famous family, and the beauty of our army's camp layout, the other side may already be aware of it."

Sun Ce was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then he said after a while, "You mean that the formation is closely aligned, even if Wang Zheng wants to go out of the city, he is afraid that he is also worried about the risks, and he may retreat in spite of the difficulties. Plan, is it going to fail?"

Huang Gai nodded: "Young General sees Wanli clearly."

"Why did Zhou Mu say that?" Zhou Hui was taken aback and immediately asked in puzzlement.

Before Wang Zheng could answer, Wei Yan who was at the side thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Wang Zhoumu's guess is not impossible!"

While talking, he looked carefully at the layout of Sun Ce's battalions on the map, muttered to himself, paced around two or three times, raised his head suddenly, shot his eyes and said: "If this is the case, if you want to break out of the city , it is not impossible!"

Everyone looked puzzled, but Wang Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, shouting, "What a Wei Wenchang!"

He stood tall and looked around:
"Why did Sun Bofu deliberately let the messenger enter the city? Hey, this fight is a good plan. One is to let us divide the troops like him, but if the troops leave the city, the defensive force will be reduced, and he can wait for the opportunity to take my city. Two Mody."

Speaking of this, Wang Zheng stared at the outside of the tent, his eyes were extremely persuasive: "Hey, maybe Sun Ce thought that he would lead the army and horses to break through? This is killing me!"

Wang Xiong gasped when he heard the words, and immediately flew into a rage: "What a thief, he really deserves to be killed!"

"The general must not fall into the trap!"

"Wang Zhoumu really shouldn't take risks."

Wei Yan who was on the side also said: "However, since we have seen through his plan now, we can naturally turn around and use the scheme. Therefore, I will say that the enemy may deliberately show a loophole, so that it is not impossible for us to break through and go to Lujiang."

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Wei is all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He is thoughtful and thoughtful. He is really a general!"

Zhou Hui on the side asked: "Master Wen, how do you follow the plan?" "

Wei Yandao: "The first important point, we naturally continue to pretend not to know, let the enemy think that we have fallen into the trap, and then in the next few days, carefully watch the enemy's movement, as long as the enemy makes any changes, such as secretly withdrawing a certain unit garrison, or use all kinds of deception to deliberately reduce the encirclement of the east and west of the city, etc., then it shows that the enemy is indeed deliberately sending messengers into the city, trying to lure us to divide our troops."

"Then it's time to plan and plan!"

Sun Ce frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Why is this so difficult?"

"According to the current deployment of our army's camp, Wang Zheng may be helpless and retreat in the face of difficulties. Then the general's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain may also come to naught. But haven't you thought about another possibility?"

"Please enlighten me, Major General."

Sun Ce made people unfold the map, hang it on the tent, got up and walked slowly to the front, summoned all the generals to surround him, then raised his waist sword, tapped lightly in the east and west directions of the map, and said confidently: "The general Just let this Zhuzi not retreat in spite of difficulties!"

Facing the puzzled eyes of the generals, he sneered and said, "Since the general was able to deliberately let people into the city, why couldn't he let them out of the city on purpose?"

Huang Gai suddenly said: "Young General, what do you mean, we take the initiative to withdraw some of the troops stationed in these two places?"

Seeing Sun Ce nodding his head, he asked again, "Will Wang Zheng be suspicious of doing so deliberately?"

"That's the point!"

Sun Ce said calmly: "Don't let the thieves see the flaws, as long as Wang Zheng believes it is true, the day he leaves the city is the time for him to confer the head!"

Speaking of this, Sun Ce's smile suddenly became ferocious: "When Wang Zheng dies, Xuzhou will inevitably be in chaos. Then what we can get is not just a mere Shucheng, or even a Lujiang County? Let's defeat Yuan Shu in one autumn. Before such a severe winter, Jiangdong has it all!"

"Then prepare your troops and prepare your horses. Next year, you will gather a large army and lead your troops to look north. You will be able to achieve great feats! Hahaha!"

All the generals were deeply convinced, and they all bowed and shouted in unison: "The young general has strategized and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and today's Han Xin is the same!"
