A cold light flashed in Huang Wan's eyes as he spoke.
“Burn the mountain?
I’m afraid it’s not easy either.”
Hearing Huang Wan's words, Xiang Lang was also frightened. Although they wanted to win, burning the mountain would be a bit too harmful to Tianhe, and such a big mountain could not be burned just by talking.
"If you think it's feasible, I'm going to arrange for you to do this. I believe that with your talent, you can definitely complete it. If the burning of the mountain is completed, even if Dong Zhao and the others cannot be burned to the ground, it can still cause some damage to them.
,
The most important thing is that their turn with Yuan Shu will be delayed, and then we can take the opportunity to send troops to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shu, using 20,000 people to delay the enemy's 70,000 army, this deal is worth it."
After Huang Wan finished speaking, he stared at Xiang Lang, ambushing the opponent's 70,000 army with 20,000 people, and the opponent had just wiped out the elite soldiers of the Sizhou rebellion.
Everyone knows that this job is not easy to do, and the danger is quite great. If you make a bad judgment, you may be wiped out by the enemy.
Therefore, only Xiang Lang is capable of this task. The key now is to see if he is willing to do it.
"Since Wan Gong believes in me so much, then let me do this."
Xiang Lang also looked at Huang Wan. In fact, after thinking about it, he knew that besides himself, Huang Wan was the only one who could do this job. Huang Wan was in Xiangyang as the Dinghai Shenzhen, so he had to do it by himself.
"Well, you go ahead with your elite troops. I'm afraid something will go wrong if we don't use our troops. If half of the troops run away by then, everything will be over."
Huang Wan rushed to Lang and nodded. If Xinhan could persist in this battle, then in time Xiang Lang would definitely be able to replace him and become Xinhan's anchor.
"No need, five thousand elites are enough. Those ordinary soldiers don't dare to make mistakes without me. If someone really runs away, one person will run and kill a group, a group will run and kill a group, and if a group runs away, I will kill a whole group. In this way, they will definitely
Supervise each other and there will be no deserters."
Now that he had decided to lead his troops to the west, Xiang Lang naturally had a corresponding method and directly moved out the former Qin's company sitting method.
"Is this really good?
The soldiers don't know what's going on, but if you act like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach Yingjian Mountain, and those soldiers will be in trouble."
Huang Wan was dumbfounded when he heard Xiang Lang's countermeasures. He was trying to fiddle with the old methods of the previous dynasty.
"Then what else?
After I leave, you will have a decisive battle with Yuan Shu. Huang Kui has taken away 30,000 elite soldiers. You only have less than 50,000 elite soldiers and Cai Mao's 50,000 navy here.
If I am removing 20,000 people, you will only have 30,000 here. It will be fine if Cai Mao cooperates, but if he does not cooperate, it will be too difficult to defeat Yuan Shu."
Xiang Lang also wanted to bring elite soldiers there, but now although they have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, the real elite soldiers are only about 100,000. Among these 100,000, there are still 50,000 uncontrolled Cai Mao Navy. If there is no absolute
If you have many soldiers and horses in charge, big problems are likely to occur by then.
"Then let's do this. You lead 10,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 ordinary soldiers to Yingjian Mountain. You can't even sit down. Do you understand that this will hurt morale?"
Huang Wan also knew that Xiang Lang was right, but didn't he have no troops now?
"Well, let's do it. I will definitely complete the task of burning Yingjian Mountain. I also wish Wan Gong a successful victory and a great victory over Yuan Shu."
Ten thousand elite soldiers and ten thousand ordinary soldiers are also the most suitable choice now. In this case, with the same number of elite soldiers suppressing them, those ordinary soldiers will have no chance to escape.
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back and drink."
"promise."
Soon Xiang Lang led an army of 20,000 people out of Xiangyang and rushed west towards Yingjian Mountain. However, Dong Zhao and others received orders from Yuan Shu and directly abandoned Zhonglu, and an army of 70,000 people rushed directly to Xiangyang.
As for Zhonglu, they did not arrange a single soldier at all, because they did not need a retreat at all. As long as they could fight Yuan Shu, they would not be short of any supplies.
"Xu Fu, what do you think Huang Wan and the others are doing at this moment when they send Xiang Lang to leave Xiangyang with an army of 20,000 people?"
When Cai Mao got the news that Xiang Lang had left Xiangyang with his troops and was missing, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"What do you think they will do, Governor?"
When Xu Fu heard Cai Mao's words, he frowned slightly. He had been thinking about why he was sending troops to Xiang Lang now, and finally he had some ideas.
"I feel?
If I knew, would I still ask you?"
Cai Mao also frowned. If I knew, I wouldn't ask you while licking my face.
"Captain, actually, I just figured it out. You said that your Majesty is coming with an army of more than 100,000 people. Dong Zhao and Lord Wang Lang also led their troops to station in Zhonglu. There are also soldiers and horses of General Zang Ba and Lord Zhang Hong in the south. Xiangyang's How will Huang Wan and the others respond?"
Xu Fu's eyes looked at the sky, with a hint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
"Huang Wan has only two options now, either fight or surrender. He can't escape. But what does this have to do with Xiang Lang leading his troops to leave Xiangyang? What can 20,000 people do?"
Cai Mao looked at Xu Fu, a little confused.
"Let's not talk about whether 20,000 people can accomplish anything. If I were to give you 20,000 people, where would you go with the three armies?"
Xu Fu knew that Cai Mao was unable to turn around for a while, so he directly ignored the role of 20,000 people and continued to discuss it backwards.
"The three armies and horses will definitely not choose the lord's main force. It will take some time for Nanjun's soldiers and horses to reach Xiangyang. The threat is not great for the time being. If it were me, I would only choose Dong Zhao's side army.
But Dong Zhao also has an army of 70,000 people. Even if they stationed troops in Zhonglu, at least 50,000 people would come to kill them. How can we fight 20,000 people against 50,000 people?"
After Xu Fu's advice, Cai Mao was finally able to think of the purpose of Xiang Lang's trip, but thinking about Xiang Lang's whereabouts made Cai Mao even more confused. Twenty thousand people went to sneak attack Dong Zhao's tens of thousands of troops, and he still couldn't figure it out.
"It's not impossible for 20,000 people to defeat 50,000 people, and Master Dong Zhao will definitely not fall into Lu Liu's army again. He is going to attack Xiangyang with His Majesty this time, and the whole army will definitely come to kill him.
At that time, it will not be 20,000 people versus 50,000 people, but 20,000 people versus 70,000 people. Even so, as long as we arrange it properly, it is still possible to stop Lord Dong Zhao's troops."
Xu Fu smiled slightly, and responded directly to Cai Mao's incomprehension with a smile.
"How to say?"
Cai Mao also became interested now. He wanted to hear what clever plan Xu Fu could come up with to use 20,000 people to fight against 70,000 people.
"Master Dong Zhao and Master Wang Lang are coming from Zhonglu to Xiangyang this time. There is a road they must pass through, and that is Yingjian Mountain. If I were to ambush the opponent with 20,000 people from Xiang Lang, this place must be Yingjian Mountain. .”
Xu Fu saw clearly. The only place where Xiang Lang could detect Dong Zhao's movements was Yingjian Mountain, so Xiang Lang would definitely ambush Dong Zhao at Yingjian Mountain.
"But the terrain of Yingjian Mountain is not very suitable for ambush operations, and Dong Zhao and Wang Lang were granted the titles of Sizhou Mu and Bingzhou Mu by His Majesty, and they were able to lead troops to wipe out the Sizhou rebellion.
These two people must not be easy-going people. Knowing the situation in Yingjian Mountain, they will definitely investigate carefully. How easy is it to ambush them?"
Although Xu Fu is right, everyone with a discerning eye in Yingjian Mountain knows that there is danger there. How could Dong Zhao and Wang Lang not explore it? Moreover, there are not as many ravines as they imagined. It is really difficult to ambush.
"Since there is no way to ambush, is there any other way?
For example, instead of setting an ambush in the mountains, what if you choose to set the mountains on fire?
Do you think Master Dong Zhao will be fooled?"
Of course he knew what Cai Mao said, but this representative was unable to attack Dong Zhao and Wang Lang's army.
“Set the mountain on fire?
No, it would be harmful to Tianhe, and besides, they might not be able to succeed?
This is a bit inappropriate."
Cai Hao was stunned when he heard Xu Fu talking about setting fire to the mountains. If he didn't say anything else, even if he set fire to the mountains, he might not be able to burn Dong Zhao and the others. It was a bit too risky.
"There is no need to burn Lord Dong Zhao completely with a fire. Once the fire burns out, it will be a problem for Lord Dong Zhao to cross Yingjian Mountain and fight with His Majesty in a short time.
And if Huang Wan dispatches his entire army at this time and takes advantage of His Majesty's weak power to fight a decisive battle with Your Majesty, then His Majesty may be in danger."
Xu Fu thought for a while, and he now fully understood Huang Wan's intention. Taking advantage of the fact that Zang Ba's troops from Nanjun had not arrived, and Dong Zhao's troops were unable to catch up, he first divided his troops to disturb the enemy, and then concentrated his main force to fight Yuan Shu decisively.
