"what!"

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard the sound, and said urgently: "Since this is the case, why did my lord order Zhang Yan to lead the infantry to attack Yuan Shao's headquarters? Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

"Nothing. I have always suspected that Yuan Shao still has some unknown means that he hasn't used. That is to say, he has a backhand, and the real killer is always hidden. This time I just want Zhang Yan to lead the army to attack him directly. , drive him to a corner, let's see how long he can hide!"

While speaking, the expression on Li Li's face became solemn at some point, and there was a lingering worry in his eyes.

"As Zicheng said, this time Zhang Yan and the [-] Black Mountain Army led by him are indeed very dangerous. In other words, their going here is no different from throwing themselves into a trap. It's not that I, Li Li, are ruthless and deliberately let them go to die, but that if they don't go, someone from our army must go to use their bodies as bait, so that Yuan Shao's long-hidden plan can be completely forced out.

Otherwise, our army will always face unknown dangers, and a little carelessness will ruin the good situation in front of us, and even ruin the entire army, directly leading to the defeat of this decisive battle.If the Montenegrin Army is not sent to test, then which cavalry in our army is willing to make such a dangerous and unpredictable attempt?Is it the Feixiong Battalion under Huan Fei's tent, or the Jin Yanwei under your command? "

"Ugh! These Jin Jiewei and Feixiong soldiers are elite soldiers who count as ten. How can they be easily discarded?" Li Zhi blushed and hesitated for a while, but finally bit the bullet and vetoed.

Li Li nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes. Jinyiwei and Feixiongying are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. Naturally, they can't take risks by themselves. Compared with them, Qinglongying, Longxiangying and Shuofengying The soldiers in the army did not give up too much. They are all cavalry battalions I personally set up. No matter who I give up, I will not give up. Therefore, the two powers harm each other, whichever is less, and there must be a choice.

Compared with our army's war cavalry, the Black Mountain Army was born as a bandit, and its weapons and equipment are not good.There is also a lack of training, and their combat effectiveness in head-to-head combat is limited; although there are many brave and skilled fighters, they are ultimately mixed.Therefore.You can only let them go to test it out, and you can't tell them the truth in advance, treat the feint attack as a strong attack, and let them go all out to attack the rear of the central army where Yuan Shao is.Forcing Yuan Shao to submit.Thus showing the horse's feet.Only in this way can I confidently and boldly lead the army to defeat Yuan Shaozhong's army, and then defeat the Allied forces in one fell swoop and win the final victory of this battle. "

"So that's the case, my lord's move can be said to be well-intentioned!" Li Zhi sighed with empathy.

Li Li shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "This is also an act of my own will. There is no doubt that I must have selfish motives for doing this. It is extremely unfair to the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army. But I, Li Li After all, he is not a saint without desires and desires. Many times, he cannot completely let go of his personal emotions, and the decisions he makes are inevitably different from each other. In addition, this move has another hidden danger, that is, it is easy for the generals of the Montenegro Army to mistake me for taking the opportunity Eliminate dissidents, weaken the strength of the Montenegrin Army, and then completely annex them. This is something that cannot be justified, and I will not explain it to them. Therefore, we simply do not let them know the truth from the beginning, and no one is allowed to mention this after the war Just take it as an accident, that's all."

"The general knows what to do, and after the battle, he will deal with everything, so that everyone in the know can keep his mouth shut and not leak a word." Li Zhigong replied.

"It's just" Li Zhi hesitated to speak, and after seeing Li Li's expression as usual, he asked in a low voice: "Why is my lord so sure that Yuan Shao must have a backup? After all, our army has planted in the allied army." A lot of careful work, and there are two princes from Cao Cao and Sun Ce who disclosed all the military information of the Allied Army to us; why have they never mentioned this matter? Could it be that this is a trick planned by Yuan Shao alone, and other princes from all walks of life have no knowledge of it? , or even be unaware of it?"

"Well, Zicheng's words are not unreasonable." Li Li nodded his head and pondered: "I have also considered these factors, and even suspect that I am too suspicious. However, compared with allies such as Cao Cao and Sun Ce, I believe more own intuition and eyes.

The so-called allies are nothing more than short-term interest alliances that use each other and seek mutual benefits. In fact, they are not even friends.There is both cooperation and mutual wariness between each other, even more wariness than cooperation, suspicion more than trust.In short, it means that no one can trust anyone, and it's just pretending to be a snake and acting on the occasion, and it can't be taken seriously.Therefore, instead of entrusting your own safety to these allies driven by interests, it is better to observe carefully and carefully consider any details you have seen with your own eyes. "

After a pause, Li Li raised his eyes to look at the mountains and forests under the dark night sky in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "In fact, since the moment I received the letter of war sent by Yuan Shao's envoy, I have suspected that Yuan Shao has ulterior motives and must have something to do." Figure. Because he set the decisive battle location in Loudiyuan, which is very strange in itself and quite intriguing.

As we all know, within a hundred miles outside Hangu Pass, only Loudiyuan is relatively open, which is suitable for cavalry combat, but it is very unfavorable for infantry.But the allied army has more infantry and few fighting cavalry. Fighting on the open plain is extremely disadvantageous to the allied army. However, my Xiliang iron cavalry can exert [-]% of its combat power, which can be said to have the upper hand.

Yuan Shao must be aware of such an obvious terrain disadvantage; after all, he is already over fifty years old, and he has seen far more battle scenes in his life than me, so he can be said to be well-informed.That being the case, why did he go the other way when he knew that the terrain was unfavorable to the allied forces, and chose Loudiyuan as the location of the decisive battle?

There is no doubt that the reason why he knows that he can't do it is because he has something to rely on.Moreover, the plot is huge, and he is so confident in his plan that he does not hesitate to take risks, willing to risk being defeated by our army in one fell swoop, and also to induce our army to fight with him. "

Speaking of this, Li Li affirmed with a solemn expression: "Yes, even though I don't know what his plan is and what he intends to do, I am very sure that he must have a backhand, and he has hidden it from everyone. The eyes and ears of the Lu princes. Around this Loudiyuan, there must be a huge conspiracy hidden by Yuan Shao, the purpose of which is to wipe out Li Li and my Xiliang army in one fell swoop.

That's all.Only in this way can he not hesitate to spend millions of money and food to join forces with various princes to crusade against me, and even spare no expense to supply hundreds of thousands of troops with supplies and weapons, and to fight our Xiliang army head-on. "

After listening to Li Li's explanation.Li Zhi nodded his head deeply, and then ordered the two school lieutenants behind him to lead a thousand-man team to supervise the battle in the Black Mountain Cavalry, preparing to attack Yuan Shao's rear of the Chinese army.

"Huh? The thief Zhang Yan didn't resist the Xiliang war cavalry, and even got off his horse and bowed to Thief Li? Huh!"

Everything was exactly as Li Li expected. Just as he and Li Zhi were talking while leading the army to the rear, Yuan Shao, who was in the rear of the Allied army's central army, received a scout report and learned that the Black Mountain cavalry was fighting against Xiliang. The strange situation when riding meet.And the scene where Zhang Yan meets Li Li.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was so angry that smoke rose from his seven orifices, and his six internal organs spit fire.The five internal organs trembled, the ferocious face and the pair of bloodshot eyes looked like menacing gods, baring their teeth and wanting to choose someone to eat.

indeed.Everything was as expected by Li Li.Yuan Shao is now nearly sixty years old.In terms of leading troops to fight, he was already a little powerless, unable to charge forward; but in terms of employing people to control people, he became more and more sophisticated, and his methods were extremely clever.To this day, all the princes of the Allied Army are surrounded by his eyeliners. These people were originally the personal soldiers of the princes or the middle and low-level generals, but because they couldn't resist the coercion and temptation, they had already turned to Yuan Shao in private; Once those stubborn diehards fail to be bought, they will disappear quietly.No one is alive, no one is dead.

Therefore, whenever the princes from all walks of life have a little trouble.It will be transmitted to Yuan Shao's ears as soon as possible so that he can take countermeasures in time.It's just that in the past half a year, although the princes from all walks of life were quite dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, they often complained in private, and many of them cursed him; but these were trivial matters, irrelevant.For this reason, Yuan Shao has always turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to it; as long as the princes did not violate his orders and refrained from betrayal, he would ignore them at all, and usually greet each other with a smile. It's that emotions and anger are invisible.

However, Yuan Shao never imagined that what he had been worrying about had no sign before, but suddenly happened at the last moment of the decisive battle.

"Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, turned his back on the battlefield and led his troops to join the villain Li Li!" The moment Yuan Shao received the secret report, Yuan Shao's mind was filled with this sad news that he could not accept no matter what, and he was dizzy with anger. My head was in a daze for a while, so that I was short of breath and gasped like a cow.

At this moment, there are no princes from all walks of life following him.At the beginning of the war, the princes all returned to the camp without prior agreement, and Sun Ce and Zhang Yang, who had stayed in Hedong, went straight back to the camp from the two wings, and then returned to Hedong County by boat without stopping for a moment.Therefore, the only civil servants and generals who are still on standby by his side are his trusted subordinates.

"Damn! Hateful! Shameful! The villain Zhang Yan ruined my great affairs, I, Yuan Shao, and your thief will not let it go!"

After gritting his teeth and cursing Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao forcibly calmed down, and the rapid panting sound quickly eased, and his bloodshot and scarlet eyes quickly regained clarity.

At this moment, Yuan Shao is truly unworthy of his reputation, showing his true qualities as a hero and overlord, possessing the unimaginable self-control ability of his own emotions.

"Zhang He listened to the order and pretended to let Zhang Yan's 3 infantry pass through without knowing it, and then led his [-] troops to cover up and kill them. There must be no mistake!"

After a short pause, Yuan Shao waved his hand without waiting for Zhang He to answer, and signaled him to return to the front line immediately and follow the order, and continued to order: "Chunyu Qiong, Gao Lan, Gao Gan, and Yan Kai listen to the order, and immediately prepare the army and prepare for battle. Zhang Yan's bandit came with his troops, and he swung his army out, flanking Zhang He's troops, and he was determined to wipe out the villain Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army under his tent, leaving no one behind!"

This time, Yuan Shao didn't stop at all. He turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, and ordered continuously: "Xianyi listens to the order and immediately sends Cao Cao to lead his troops to help the left wing without hesitation. Remember, don't tell him anything, let alone mention Zhang. The Yan rebels and Li thief are on the left wing, otherwise he might not dare to confront Li thief head-on!"

"Promise, the last general will take orders!" Yuan Xi, Chun Yuqiong and the others galloped away after Gong Sheng promised.

As soon as the generals left, Xu You and Tian Feng looked at each other solemnly, and then rode their horses to approach Yuan Shao.

I saw Xu You watching Yuan Shao's face carefully, and said softly: "My lord, calm down, the villain Zhang Yan is a thieves and thieves without faith. My lord, there is no need to be angry with such thieves. However, Zhang Yan led his troops straight to me Waiting for the place where we are to attack is a little troublesome. If we break through the phalanx, then once our plan is leaked ahead of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to lure Thief Li to lead the cavalry to attack. At that time, what we have done before Everything in his life will also be burned, there is no chance of winning, and the situation is over!"

"Why do you need to say this, don't I know? Asking knowingly, it's stupid, stupid pig!" Yuan Shao scolded angrily.

Apparently, the anger that he had just suppressed forcibly surged up again at this moment, and Xu You was the first target of his anger.

Chapter 760 The Killing Blow

"Why do you need to say this, don't I know?"

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You with an unfriendly expression, and angrily scolded: "The most important thing right now is to come up with countermeasures, not pretending to be powerful, you know? Trash, stupid pig, stupid!"

Apparently, the anger that he had just suppressed forcibly surged up again at this moment, and Xu You was the first target of his anger.

Xu You, who came forward to persuade him with good intentions, never dreamed that he would suffer an innocent disaster, and was scolded by Yuan Shao, which made his neck shrink, and he blushed immediately, but he lowered his head in anger and did not dare to speak again. Dare to speak easily.

"My lord, don't be angry. I haven't reached the point of no return. Everything is still too late."

Just when Xu You didn't dare to speak, unexpectedly there were people who were not afraid of death and dared to commit crimes against the wind.

It's just that this person's words are correct from the first moment he speaks, full of confidence, neither humble nor overbearing, he seems to have a well-thought-out plan.Therefore, Yuan Shao did not interrupt his words and turned an angry face, but listened attentively, obviously very interested.

It goes without saying that the person who dares to speak out at this time is the upright Jizhou Biejiatian Toyota Motoho.

Today, there are as many as eight civil servants and advisers who are relied on by Yuan Shao, namely: Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xin Pi.There are many advisers, among them Tian Feng is the head, and also the most trusted chief adviser by Yuan Shao in recent years.

After a pause in his speech, Tian Feng raised his eyes to look at the fighting in front of the Chinese army, and noticed that the Xuzhou soldiers under Liu Bei and the infantry under Lu Bu's camp had shown signs of defeat, and they could not resist the fierce charge of Xiliang iron cavalry.

immediately.He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The current situation is not optimistic. The Xiliang warriors are brave and good at fighting. They are unstoppable and unstoppable. If this continues, the [-] soldiers under Liu Bei and the [-] infantry under Lu Bu's command will last for half a day at most. Two hours later, the Xiliang cavalry will break through the central army and head straight to the rear where we are. And we must withdraw from the battlefield before the Xiliang cavalry arrives, and the Xiliang cavalry cannot be noticed. Only in this way can we Guarantee the smooth realization of our plan.

only.Now that the situation has changed suddenly, Zhang Yan has defected and defected to Li Li, causing our plan to become complicated.There is a risk of early exposure if you are not careful.In view of this, I suggest that the lord change the original retreat route and stay here until the last moment, until Li Li personally leads the army to chase and kill.We will retreat directly from the emergency passage in the center of the killing array."

"Ah!" Before Tian Feng could finish speaking.Xu You's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed in surprise, then pointed at Tian Feng with an angry face, and asked sharply: "Bold Tian Yuanhao, what is your intention? The emergency road in the middle of the formation is no more than three feet wide, and one person is one person. It is impassable for horsemen, only one person can pass by on foot, and the army cannot pass through at all. In addition, the passage is winding and changeable, rugged and difficult to walk, and there are no obvious signs. If you make a wrong step, you are in danger of being smashed to pieces. It is so dangerous For this matter, you actually encouraged the lord to take risks in person, it is simply abhorrent, with ulterior motives, you should be punished for the crime!"

"Xu You spitting blood! You..." Tian Feng's face was livid, and he wanted to intervene several times to defend himself, but he couldn't refute.

Because Xu You was right, if Yuan Shao adopted Tian Feng's suggestion, he would undoubtedly put himself in a dangerous situation, and if he made a slight mistake, he might lose his life.If this is the case, for Yuan Shao, even if he could kill the Xiliang iron cavalry in one fell swoop, he would also risk his own life.

Because of this, Tian Feng originally wanted to defend himself, so that Yuan Shao would not misunderstand that he had sinister intentions and schemes, but after thinking about it, Xu You's worries might indeed come true.Therefore, Tian Feng simply kept silent and let Yuan Shao make up his mind.If Yuan Shao agreed with his suggestion, then he would tell the whole story and continue to finish his countermeasures; if Yuan Shao listened to Xu Youzhi's words, then why should he say more, even if he said it, it would be useless.

This is due to Tian Feng's nature, straightforward and stubborn, unwilling to engage in verbal disputes, confident in his loyalty to Yuan Shao and selfless in his heart, he has rarely defended himself, and firmly believes that Yuan Shao can make decisions impartially.

Fortunately, Tian Feng made the right bet this time.
