Chapter 1329 Eating fish
In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Everything has a reason. Most of the things that are inexplicable and illogical can only be done by mental patients.
Liu Bei is more convenient now.
Yuan Er is coming.
General Ji Ling commanded 50,000 troops, known as 150,000, and went straight to Xuzhou.
The envoy sent by Liu Bei to find Ji Ling came back, and the fellow soldiers brought it back. They really carried it, because there was only one head left, and the rest was enthusiastically retained by the hospitable Comrade Ji Ling.
Although he didn''t say a word, Liu Bei also understood what Ji Ling meant, and he couldn''t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Isn’t there a process of courtesy first and soldiers later, this is not in line with the process!
Besides, I am a newly promoted relative of the emperor!
The second son of the Yuan family, you operate like this, do you still pay attention to Emperor Han?
Is there any king''s law?
Is there any way to be a minister?
Although he was square in his heart, Liu Bei still reminded himself not to be chaotic. First, he comforted the remaining soldiers who were still in shock, and let them go down to rest. After wandering around the government office for a while, his hair and beard were all pulled After a lot of work, I still couldn''t come up with any good plan, so I could only call all the personnel again to discuss countermeasures.
"Brother! How unreasonable! Take someone to pick up the head of this rude man!" Zhang Fei yelled, waving his arms, his battle robe was crooked, shaking out a big bunch of heart hair, and by the way, he almost Knocked off Sun Gan''s hat.
"..." Sun Qian glanced at Zhang Fei, raised his hat without saying a word, and then shrank to the side to avoid the damage of Zhang Fei''s allies from the indiscriminate map gun. Anyway, he just came here not long ago, and he is not good at it. Naturally, one, two, three wooden people acted as if they hadn''t heard anything.
Guan Yu glanced at Liu Bei, who was a little embarrassed, and asked Zhang Fei to sit down. Then he half-closed his eyes and didn''t say anything. He doesn''t know everything, and it''s true that the military strength is not dominant. The effect of personal martial arts is not very obvious in large-scale army battles, so he sat quietly and observed.
Jian Yong sat on the side, stroking his beard, and couldn''t think of any way for a while. After all, Jian Yong''s skills are all related to civil affairs and diplomacy. As for military skills, they are just some basic skills attached to the original values. He is crooked, let alone fighting, so Jian Yong sitting here is actually just showing that there are people in this pit.
Mi Zhu is a little numb. He is not mentally retarded, but most of his strategies are used in shopping malls, such as how to buy low and sell high, how to induce hype, how to sell goods in different places, etc. Naturally, there is no problem with these commercial methods, and he also has a lot of Although he has a lot of experience, but if he is asked to make suggestions based on the current military situation, he can ensure that the weak can defeat the strong, which is somewhat beyond his current level.
The three and a half buckets of counselors didn''t say a word, but the speaker was Zhang Fei, who was driving the buff of the audience. Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed, stroking his beard and blinking.
Facing the anus, it is true that the **** is not enough.
The Danyang soldiers left behind by Tao Qian are the ones that Liu Bei has at hand now, but the number is not large, a little more than three thousand. In addition to the troops he brought before, that is, about six thousand veterans, the rest The soldiers are all ordinary soldiers from counties and counties recruited locally in Xuzhou. They are fresh and hot, but there is a lot of water.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have strengthened their training during this period of time and squeezed the juice hard, there is still a certain distance from the formation of the army. And even if these soldiers are all useful, they are barely more than ten thousand. It is okay to stay in the city to protect themselves, but it is difficult to retreat from the enemy in the battle.
Even with the added value of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s personal martial arts, it is not easy. Ji Ling is also a veteran for many years. He walked extremely steadily, conquered a city, stationed down, and after rectification, he waited for the personnel sent from the rear to manage it before continuing to set off. Although it was slow, there was no flaw at all.
Lure the enemy and ambush?
Most of the area in this area is flat, and with the dry weather in autumn, the soldiers move slightly, and the smoke and dust can be seen more than ten miles away. Ambush? How to ambush? Dig a hole in the ground? Let’s not talk about such a large amount of engineering, just say that when the battle comes out of the pit, there is not much array thickness at all. It is similar to the last stand. One is water and the other is a pit. Well, there may be some miraculous effects, but the vast majority of people who play Last Stand end up playing in the water by themselves.
And the key is that Liu Bei is also reluctant!
The current capital is the original headquarters and the 6,000 Danyang soldiers. If it is exhausted, it will not be easy to replenish it.
What is especially troublesome for Liu Bei is that the autumn harvest is about to begin. The outbreak of this war in Xuzhou will definitely affect the harvest. Moreover, if the surrounding villages are harvested by Yuan Shu, what will the family eat from now until next year?
At that time, there will be no money and food, the morale of the army will be weak, and the undefeated will also be defeated.
If you want to quickly defeat Ji Ling''s army, you must use the weak to defeat the strong. Normally speaking, the two methods of water and fire are the most used methods. Liu Bei is naturally aware of this matter, but he knows that he knows how to use it is the most critical issue. , It is not something that can be done casually, the right time and place are indispensable.
There is water in Xuzhou, but the problem is that autumn is approaching and the water level is low. It will take time and effort to attack with water even if the opponent cooperates, and it may not have much effect. Be careful about fire prevention, so the routes for troops to advance are far away from dangerous areas. The most important thing is that most of Xuzhou is flat land, and there are not many valleys, Daze and other terrains that can be used.
So Liu Bei thought about it, but there was nothing to do, so he set his sights on Chen Deng who hadn''t said a word until now.
Chen Deng watched his nose, nose and mouth, sitting as motionless as a statue. He knew that Liu Bei would definitely find him in the end, but Chen Deng was not in a good mood right now. In Chen Deng''s view, this time Yuan Shu''s army suppressed the situation, it was Liu Bei who asked for it!
Liu Bei was originally with Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was an allied army with Yuan Shu, so Liu Bei naturally belonged to Yuan Shu''s camp. Therefore, Liu Bei took over Tao Qian''s inheritance from the same camp. Although Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, he was not very opposed to it.
And now that Liu Bei has just taken over Xuzhou, before the seat is hot, he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone. Not only does he not follow Yuan Shu''s strategic intentions, but he also pays tribute to the court. What is the meaning of this?
Yuan Shu has such a violent temper, can he bear it?
For Yuan Shu, is there any use for Liu Bei as a relative of the emperor?
Can you eat and drink?
Will the imperial court allocate food, grass and soldiers to Liu Bei because of this status?
So now that Liu Bei has the nerve to convene everyone for a discussion because of such a big trouble because of a false name that is of little use?
Besides, regarding the tribute matter, Chen Deng also persuaded Liu Bei before, telling him not to be so anxious, and wait for a while to talk about it. As a result, Liu Bei hummed in person, turned his face behind his back, and sent someone to lick it. What does Chen Deng think?
"This...ah!" Liu Bei sighed, and then looked at Chen Deng sincerely, his eyes blinked, his eye circles turned red, and tears filled his eyes, "I regret that I should not have listened to Yuanlong''s advice, and tired the common people of Xuzhou from suffering from this military disaster." , it was a fault of preparation! Oops! It hurts! It hurts!"
Liu Bei hit his thigh with a "slap", looking extremely painful.
In early autumn, there are few clothes, so it is really painful.
"Brother!"
"Master!"
"Envoy!"
Immediately, everyone in the hall spoke out to comfort Liu Bei.
"You don''t need to be like this..." Chen Deng also cupped his hands, keeping the same action as everyone else, but he was muttering in his heart, regretting it now, regretting a fart! It sounds good, later you will definitely say that you want to pity the people of Xuzhou or something... It really makes you sell your **** to Yuan Shu right now, um, no, go to Yuan Shu to beg for mercy, sacrifice one person to save Xuzhou, okay? Willing or not?
"Poor people in Xuzhou, suffering from such an innocent disaster..." Liu Bei''s tears rolled in his eyes, shining with moving brilliance.
Although Liu Bei was talking about everyone, in fact Liu Bei kept staring at Chen Deng, and the other people also looked at Chen Deng.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei''s round eyes, Guan Yu''s squinting eyes, and whoosh were all thrown over. Chen Deng couldn''t help but shuddered, and he cupped his hands helplessly and said: "If the lord wants to protect the people of Xuzhou, Deng has a plan, just Let the envoy be wronged, and I don''t know if I should say it or not..."
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Yuanlong, please tell me it''s okay, it''s nothing if someone suffers some grievances!"
Chen Deng nodded and said: "If the envoy writes a letter, expressing his willingness to advance and retreat with the general later, and coordinate the dispatch of troops...Naturally, the people of Xuzhou can be saved from this military disaster..."
Letters and the like cannot completely solve the problem, but at least it shows an attitude.
Why did Yuan Shu send troops to attack Xuzhou?
Isn''t it because he saw Liu Bei wanting to stand on his own?
If Liu Bei is ignored right now, what will Sun Ce do?
If all of Yuan Shu''s subordinates are low-minded and have some py deals with Liu Xie, how can Yuan Shu continue to play well?
So Chen Deng pointed directly at the vital point. If Liu Bei expressed his surrender to Yuan Shu and was willing to cooperate in the attack, then Ji Ling''s soldiers would stay in Xuzhou at most and would not fight Liu Bei directly. The so-called safety of the people in Xuzhou would naturally have no effect problem.
Didn’t it mean to save the people of Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou can be saved...
"This..." Liu Bei''s eyes flashed, he put back his tears, and pondered. Liu Bei was not a fool either. Chen Deng was talking about protecting the people of Xuzhou, but not Liu Bei himself. But the problem was that Chen Deng had indeed solved the problem raised by Liu Bei just now, so it was hard for Liu Bei to say anything.
Of course, according to Chen Deng''s plan, it is true that there is no need to fight, but the same Liu Bei will certainly not be able to stay in Xuzhou. Even with his toes, Yuan Shu will definitely let Ji Ling stay in Xuzhou to restrain his troops. Then send someone to take over Liu Bei''s position, and transfer Liu Bei to Shouchun to observe for a period of time, which means sacrificing one Liu Bei, so that thousands of people in Xuzhou can be happy...
It also means that Liu Bei''s hard-earned foundation has been handed over to others. How can this make Liu Bei willing?
"This... the later general is suspicious by nature, this... even if someone wants to reconcile, the later general may not be willing... there is something wrong in the end..." Liu Bei shook his head, vetoed the proposal, and looked at Chen Deng earnestly, "Yuan Long Is there another way?"
Chen Deng lowered his eyes and said: "In this way, the only strategy left is to stick to it and wait for help... So you can send someone to Yanzhou to ask for help. If Cao Pingdong leads the army, the danger of Xuzhou will naturally be solved..."
"Go to Yanzhou for help?" Liu Bei frowned, seeming to find some problems, but for a while he couldn''t remember what the problem was.
Chen Deng nodded slightly, without raising his eyelids, he said: "Your Majesty has just arrived, and the court has newly appointed... This move by the latter general undoubtedly took away the face of the court... If you are a minister of the same court as General Pingdong, naturally you also have the responsibility of watching over and helping each other." Also..." Chen Deng didn''t offer any risky strategy, but an upright plan. More than 10,000 soldiers may not be able to defeat Ji Ling''s troops head-on if they fight in the wild, but there is no problem in defending the city. As long as Cao Cao comes in time, the battle may be over before the autumn harvest.
It’s just that it’s unpleasant to pin your hopes on others...
...
The meeting ended like this, and everyone went home to find their mothers.
Chen Deng wandered back to his family''s office.
Chen Gui glanced at it, and said lightly: "Liu Shijun has adopted the strategy of sticking to it and asking for help?"
Chen Deng arched his hands, saluting his father, and replied: "Although I didn''t say it, but it probably is, haha..." Although Liu Bei didn''t make a clear statement, Chen Deng also estimated that Liu Bei would definitely use this plan in the end. of. If you don''t want to bear it head-on, and you don''t want to be wronged, what else can you do?
In fact, the current strength can also be used to resist at the moment, such as fortifying the wall to clear the field, and then sending Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out to threaten Ji Ling''s flanks and food transportation lines. Liu Bei is used as bait and sticks to the city. , there is still a fight.
But such a tactic would cause too much damage to the ground in Xuzhou. Chen Deng naturally didn''t want to see it. Liu Bei might also think of it, but Liu Bei was also unwilling to adopt such a tactic.
Because of such a tactical strategy, it will be strongly rebounded by the nobles on the ground in Xuzhou. Even if Ji Ling is defeated this time, some of the reputation Liu Bei has cultivated in Xuzhou with great difficulty will be completely ruined.
The hands of the enemy and the hands of one''s own people are completely different things.
"@#￥%..." Chen Gui gurgled four words vaguely, and he couldn''t make out what he heard at all, but Chen Deng guessed that he was talking about Liu Bei, which was not a good word anyway.
"Father, my son just got a few Songjiang perch the day before yesterday, but it can be a carp..." Chen Deng sat down, and while ordering the servants to order the cook to kill the fish, he said meaningfully, "Songjiang''s fish, all kinds, There are a lot of them... Those who feed on plants and trees are easy to eat, but their flesh and blood are smelly, and it is difficult to get on the stage of elegance... Those who are as fierce as perch, chasing fish and shrimps for food, are the best choices..."
Chen Gui nodded, stroked his beard and said: "Fish play in the river, and the old man is stable in the beach. Only the grandpa wants to be at ease."
Chen Deng naturally understood. For a while, the father and son smiled slightly, sat and stopped talking.
The autumn wind passed through the hall, blowing the pond water in the courtyard, sparkling and fluctuating, blowing the trees in the courtyard, swaying, and seemed to bring out some sounds of gold and iron...
