As for Zhang Liao and others, under Jia Xu's suggestion, they took over the vanguard and temporarily stationed in Rongcheng.
Jia Xu had to wait for the scouts to find out the situation before discussing how to deal with it.
He had already prepared for the worst. If he found out that Gongsun Zan was retreating to Yuyang, he would immediately appeal to Lin Xiaobai and ask for a withdrawal.
Youzhou can temporarily delay to wait for the right time, but it must not be dragged into the quagmire of war by Gongsun Zan, let alone be defeated here, otherwise there will be no way to recover!
Chapter 70
three days later.
These three days were the most difficult three days in Jia Xu's life.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him.
Gongsun Zan retreated to Yan County!
"This is God's blessing!"
While Jia Xu was completely relieved, the fighting spirit in his heart was ignited again.
In the big camp, looking at Jia Xu who was sitting there drinking tea, Zhang Liao suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Isn't it the scene when Jia Xu offered advice when he was attacking Dong Zhuo?
Jia Xu was also like this at the time, but he calculated Dong Zhuo to death in a calm manner, until he was defeated and died in the end, Dong Zhuo didn't know that his every move was under Jia Xu's calculations.
Or it should be said that his every move was arranged by Jia Xu in advance, and then guided him to go there.
Last time it was Dong Zhuo who was unlucky, but this time it was Gongsun Zan.
"Although I'm not talented, I'd like to throw bricks to attract jade." Although Jia Xu's chest was burning with flames, he still didn't show anything on the surface.
coming!
came back!
All are back!
Seeing Jia Xu's appearance, Zhang Liao was determined, and he no longer had any worries.
Throwing bricks and attracting jade?
How could it be possible that what he threw was a brick, it was clearly beautiful jade, and it was almost flawless beautiful jade.
"Since the enemy has adopted a strategy of exhausting the enemy, I should respond by dividing our troops."
Jia Xu's opening sentence directly made Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others frown.
It's not that they didn't think of this method, but they didn't dare to propose it.
This method is too risky.
Now they are on the other side's territory. Although Gongsun Zan has stationed a large army in Yan County, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are surrounded by enemies in their current situation.
Combining troops together can also make the opponent fearful. Once the troops are divided, if the troubles are not good, the opponent will be defeated one by one.
"My victors are the best soldiers and the bravest. Lu Bu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are all invincible...Wen Yuan is the same...they are all invincible in courage."
Zhang Liao: "..."
I also know how to take care of my emotions, and I am very satisfied.
"The victor of the enemy, the geographical advantage."
"Now we should promote my strengths and suppress the strengths of the enemy, so that we can win in one battle."
"Therefore, the soldiers are divided into nine routes, cleaning up the cities along the way!"
Zhang Liao, Jushou and others looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes at the same time.
Divide the troops into nine groups!
Jia Xu's courage is really too great!
Their original idea was to divide the troops into three groups, but they didn't expect Jia Xu to be more ruthless and directly divide the troops into nine groups.
This expedition to Youzhou, together with the vanguard troops, brought a total of only 600 Jizhou soldiers, [-] Xiliang soldiers, [-] elite soldiers, and [-] regular soldiers, plus at most [-] first camp soldiers led by Qu Yi.
It's okay to divide the soldiers into three groups. If the soldiers are divided into nine groups, the average number of troops in one group will be more than [-].
If the enemy army has been defeated, there is no problem in doing so.
But the problem is that Gongsun Zan's army is still in Yan County.
If you want to defeat each one, isn't the Nine Route Army horses allowed to be chosen by the opponent?
Even if the other side can't find stability, the number of cities that the Nine Route Army needs to attack must be increased by at least five or six times. In this way, the consumption of military power will be even greater.
After finally reaching Yan County, they are already exhausted, so how should they face Gongsun Zan's army that is waiting for work.
"My guess is that since Gongsun Zan has adopted this strategy of wearying the enemy, he will definitely station his troops in the city on the way he came. If he only divides his troops into three groups, it will be useless in battle. He must divide his troops into nine groups in order to bypass the well-arranged city."
Gongsun Zan did indeed set up many cities along the road as places to harass and consume Zhang Liao's army.
He was not sure which route Zhang Liao would attack from, so he set up three consumption routes along the way.
This is already the limit.
If there are more settings, either the troops are too scattered to achieve the effect of exhausting the enemy, or there are a large number of defenders left in each city. How can he have so many people.
Jia Xu divided his troops into nine groups, directly bypassing Gongsun Zan's arrangement.
In this way, at most three or four routes of army horses will encounter the consumption of the enemy, while the rest of the army will drive straight in without encountering too many obstacles.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the soldiers are good and brave, and each army must be able to stand alone.
Otherwise, dividing so many armies would be nothing more than mobs.
"Although it is possible to bypass the enemy's deployment, what if the enemy's main force is exhausted and they are defeated?" Ju Shou asked.
Jia Xu said plainly: "Whoever occupies a city must gather the middle-aged men in the city as militias, or drive the militias in front, or bring militias behind, or hide militias in the middle."
"In addition, elite soldiers and militiamen exchange armor and mix them together, thinking it is a strategy to confuse the enemy."
"If Gongsun Zan sends an army to attack, we will fight in a melee. With our elite soldiers and horses, we will definitely defeat the enemy!"
Poison!
See also poison trick!
Jia Xu's strategy is very simple. Each army will randomly place the young men looted from the city in the army, and they have to change their clothes so that the enemy can't be sure whether the militia is in the front or in the middle.
Once there is a confrontation, use the advantages of the numerous militias to fight with the opponent.
Looking at the clothes, I thought they were elite soldiers, but when I rushed over, I found out that they were militiamen.
I thought it was a militia, but when I fought against it, it turned out to be an elite army.
It is the greatest misfortune for common people to be born in troubled times.
hiss--
hiss--
hiss--
……
Except for Zhang Liao, everyone gasped.
After all, Zhang Liao has experienced it. Compared with the millions of innocent souls who died in Luoyang in the past, it is nothing.
Everyone was silent.
They knew that although Jia Xu's strategy was poisonous, it was indeed very practical.
And from a sophistry point of view, this poisonous policy can actually reduce casualties to a certain extent.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
If Youzhou cannot be defeated this time, Jizhou and Youzhou will evolve into a protracted battle.
By then, there will only be more dead.
"I am the master general, this plan..." Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Liao simply accepted everything: "This plan works!"
Every leader must have a decision.
Blindly thinking before and after will only lead to defeat!
"There is a policy that can be supplemented!"
Tian Feng suddenly stood up.
"I heard that Liu Yu's former subordinates, Xian Yu Fu, were loyal and loyal. Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, and there must be a gap in his heart."
"If we can say that the mobilization is less than the auxiliary mobilization, together with Liu Yu's former troops Qi Zhou, Yan Rou and others, attacking Yuyang County from Youbeiping and attacking Yan County from Youbeiping, then the general situation will be settled!"
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard about it, Jia Xu's plan was the foundation, and Tian Feng's plan was the supplement, relying on each other, this battle will surely win.
Xian Yufu was originally under Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.
After Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he killed and demoted Liu Yu's former subordinates. Xian Yufu was one of them, and was demoted by Gongsun Zan to Yuyang County as a county lieutenant.
Xian Yufu was a loyal man and always wanted to avenge his old master, but Gongsun Zan was so powerful that he had to go into hibernation for now.
"Who can go to Xian Yufu's office and persuade him to use troops?"
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, the two came out at the same time.
"Someone wants to go!"
"Someone is also willing to go!"
It was Xun Chen and Sun Qian who looked at them.
"There must be two people!"
Chapter 71
The Nine Route Army dispersed.
The first army, the vanguard Lu Buyi continued to attack the city and pull out the village.
The second army, led by Yan Liang, led [-] soldiers from Jizhou, [-] elite soldiers, and [-] soldiers.
The third army, led by General Wen Chou, led five hundred soldiers from Jizhou, six thousand elite soldiers, and eight thousand soldiers.
The fourth army, led by Gao Lan, led seven hundred soldiers from Jizhou, eight thousand elite soldiers, and ten thousand soldiers.
The fifth army, the main general Chun Yuqiong...
The sixth army, the main general Mi Fang...
The Seventh Route Army, the main general Feng Yi...
The Eighth Route Army, General Geng Wu...
The Ninth Army, led by Zhang Liao, led 13 Jizhou soldiers, 520 elite soldiers, and 500 dead.
In addition, Qu Yi led [-] people to go to the camp first as a countermeasure, and if a city that was difficult to remove was encountered, they would go to the camp first to support.
Zhang Liao was stunned.
"I remember that I am the Lord's future?"
This is a good time, the pawns in the hands of the master general were divided up.
If it's just to carve up, that's all. The key is that all the soldiers under his command are picked by others.
He is very grateful to Geng Wu now, at least he has 13 Jizhou soldiers left.
The army of the Nine Routes spread out and marched in the direction of Yanjun.
In just three days, five armies came to report that they had captured one city each.
The five-way army obviously did not encounter the heavily guarded city, and captured the city with ease.
After a brief repair, according to Jia Xu's strategy, the young and strong in the city were gathered together, and they continued to move towards the next city.
In ten days, the good news spread again, and a total of eight cities were pulled out.
Everything is going smoothly.
