Chapter eight hundred and sixty the so-called dead lips
"Report, Liu Bei's army suddenly accelerated. ≥," Xun Chen, who was thinking about whether to give Tian Feng and the others some hints next, was interrupted by the sudden intelligence. He slightly raised his head and looked at the messenger, "Ming Chunyu.
Qiong and the others are well prepared to guard Fan County and not to go out of the city to meet the enemy."
[How could it be this time?] After the messengers left, Xun Chen frowned and thought.
[This method is a bit like Liu Ye’s counterattack after seeing through my design, but logically speaking, Liu Ye’s thinking should either go straight to Fan County as early as possible, or set up camp on the spot to strengthen the alert. It should not be done at this time
This happens.] Xun Chen stretched out his fingers and pressed his temples, thinking.
[The goal is to wake up the lord, so in fact, the most important thing to do is to show the gap between our army and the enemy, so that the lord can understand the substantial gap between our army and the enemy. In other words, the focus of the current war is not
Puyang area, but in...]
A strange color flashed across Xun Chen's eyes, and he had to sigh deeply at the power of Xun Yu's thinking mode. He was fortunate that he and Xun Yu were in the same family back then, and their understanding was deep enough to imitate the thinking methods of those in his family, at least to the extent necessary.
Sometimes he can play many roles.
"Hahaha, Wenruo is indeed admirable in terms of strategy. In this case, what I have done is actually not very important. In this case, why not have some fun with you." Xun Chen stood up with a sneer.
Come on, he already knows the right thing to do.
[Now that this behavior continues, my lord’s doubts about me will grow. Liu Bei’s full strength must be exposed as soon as possible. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope for a comeback. 】
Xun Chen took the map in his hand and analyzed it quickly. He glanced at Sili in Guanzhong for a while. He then landed on several locations where Yuan and Liu clashed, and finally his eyes slowly fell on Cangting.
[This place. Well, I will give Xu You a letter later. When it comes to Cangting, he should be able to draw some conclusions. But this is not safe. Zhong Yao, don’t let me down.
In order to balance the situation, Ma Teng should move the chess piece!】
Xun Chen glanced at Yongliang Pass on the map and thought silently in his heart. Although these words had some meaning of prayer, Xun Chen knew very well that sending troops was absolutely inevitable if Cao Cao was not stupid.
[If nothing else happens, I am afraid that what is coming soon will be the mediation of the emperor, and the amnesty of the little emperor after Cao Cao takes over Yongliang and ends the short-term construction of Chang'an, and this time should be before October.]
Compared to other people, Xun Chen understood Xun Yu very well. Naturally, Xun Chen also had a considerable understanding of Xun Yu's ideals.
Xun Yu wants to assist the emperor, so the next most correct thing to do is to establish the emperor's prestige. Then buy time to consolidate the emperor's power, then the most correct thing to do next is definitely mediation!
This mediation must be done before Liu Bei is about to win, because only this is in the best interest of the emperor. If Liu Bei stops, it goes without saying that the largest princes in the world will listen to the emperor's command, so this can prove the emperor's power.
At least the strongest one still supports the emperor.
Similarly, if this mediation is useless and Liu Bei does not listen to the emperor's mediation at all, then many things will be brought to the table, and the emperor will naturally order Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Ma Teng, Yuan Shu and others to attack.
Of course, orders were no longer needed at that time. If the emperor still refused to stop after Liu Bei's victory, Liu Bei would be labeled as the biggest rebellious party. Whether it was because of the emperor or for future considerations, under Liu Xie's call
The strongest Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu will definitely take action, and Ma Teng, as a supporter of the emperor, must also choose to do so for his own benefit.
"In this case, there is no need to worry too much. No matter what happens on my side, Wen Ruo will definitely intervene in this war at the most suitable time. Of course, this most suitable time may not be suitable for the Lord.
But that's enough." Xun Chen silently put the map away.
At this time, Xun Chen already understood that the outcome of this war was no longer determined by the two sides fighting. This battle already involved too many other factors. Xun Chen was even thinking about whether he should take a gamble.
Combine Xun Yu's character, Liu Bei's loyalty, and Taishan's overall strength.
In the end, Xun Chen still did not order his troops to outflank Liu Ye's rear army. Instead, he steadily deployed the defense of Fan County and drove away the remaining dozens of households.
The fear of Chen Xi still made Xun Chen put out the idea of taking risks. Although there is no risk in a war, this kind of approach of attacking someone who knows that the other party has a plan is no longer taking a risk, it is seeking death!
"It's really troublesome. The opponent actually ignored their identity and stayed in the city without making any attacks." After the rear army arrived, looking at Fan County, Chen Xi said helplessly, "But it seems that the number of people defending this city is
Not much, where did that guy Xun Chen go?"
"The scouts came to report that the enemy had withdrawn towards the west." Liu Ye replied with a puzzled look on his face, "They actually withdrew without a fight."
"We first defeated Fan County and then pursued them. Why did they flee without fighting?" Chen Xi also looked puzzled. He said that ever since he faced Xun Chen, the opponent's behavior in many cases was completely subverting the art of war.
The city of Fan County is not high, the moat is very shallow, and there is no general to lead the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army. Under such circumstances, the city of Fan County was garrisoned by more than a thousand people. Yu Jin captured the city wall after three charges, and then
He opened the city gate and rushed in with his army.
"It's really strange." Chen Xi frowned and said, "What's the point of doing this? We can see traces of Fan County's renovation, but why are we abandoning it like this? Yuan Shaojun is not weaker than us. The opponent's hand
Although there are no strong generals, there is still no problem in defending the city."
"Pfft!" No one could answer Chen Xi's question, but the moment Chen Xi entered Fan County, several crossbow bolts were fired directly at him, and Yuan Shao's soldiers came over to kill him.
However, with Zhang Fei by his side, he captured the opponent almost instantly. As Yuan Shaojun rushed out of the alley, many soldiers who had rushed into Fan County heard screams. How could Chen Xi not understand?
what's going on.
"Everyone is on guard, and the soldiers are ordered to search everywhere in groups of five. Anyone who encounters resistance will be killed without mercy." Liu Ye issued the kill order without mercy. The sounds of fighting coming from all over the city made him extremely angry.
