The first thousand and fifty-eight chapters drug warriors offer advice
Originally, Yuan Shao was holding back some anger in his heart. After all, changing orders from morning to night would not have a good impact on him as the leader of the alliance. However, when he thought that those leading the charge were his elite troops, Yuan Shao naturally felt extremely heartbroken.
Although he said that he had sent people to recruit soldiers and horses, the only ones he could use now were the Xiliang elite cavalry who had defected to him.
These Xiliang cavalry are all elites who have followed Dong Zhuo for many years and survived hundreds of battles on the battlefield. They can be said to be Dong Zhuo's treasures. Now that they have surrendered to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao naturally values them very much.
If everything is so damaged here, it would be strange if Yuan Shao was willing.
At this moment, Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong jumped out to accuse Yuan Shao, which naturally made Yuan Shao feel very unhappy, but what Kong Rong said was true. In front of so many people, Yuan Shao could not scold such a person as Kong Rong.
A noble prince with high virtue and high prestige.
In particular, Kong Rong's fierce general Wu Anguo was killed by Lu Bu again. If he, the leader of the alliance, were to target Kong Rong again, many people would definitely be dissatisfied.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Yuan Shao tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face and said to Kong Rong: "Don't be angry, Mr. Beihai. Yuan ordered to stop the siege. There is a reason."
As he spoke, Yuan Shao looked at a scribe beside him and said, "Ziyuan, come and explain to Prime Minister Beihai."
The scribe named by Yuan Shao was none other than Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, Yuan Shaozhi's best friend and former scribe who served under General He Jin.
Xu You was just stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he didn't show any panic at all. Instead, he stroked his beard and said to Kong Rong: "Doesn't Prime Minister Beihai have any military common sense?"
Kong Rong, who had just questioned Yuan Shao, couldn't help but change his face slightly when Xu You said it. If the person who dared to talk to him like this was a warrior, I'm afraid Kong Rong would be furious on the spot, but Xu You was an out-and-out person.
He was a scholar, and his background was quite impressive. Even if he said this, Kong Rong couldn't get angry directly. He just stared at Xu You and said: "Xu Ziyuan, tell me, why do I have no military knowledge?
"
Xu You stroked his beard and looked around at the princes. He saw many people bowing their heads in deep thought. Some people were obviously as puzzled as Kong Rong, so they looked at Xu You one by one.
Xu You said with a smile: "The Hulao Pass is tens of feet high and several feet thick. Even the most powerful soldiers, if they don't have enough siege equipment to coordinate with them, they will just have to attack the city with eggs and rocks..."
As soon as Xu You said this, everyone suddenly showed a look of surprise. It turned out that what Xu You was referring to was that they didn't even have the most basic siege equipment in the wave just now. No wonder Yuan Shao suddenly called for a stop.
Now think about it, if you don't even have siege equipment, if you attack the city in such a hurry, you may lose your soldiers in vain, and you won't be able to achieve any results at all.
Seeing everyone's expressions and reactions, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look at Xu You with admiration. Xu You really didn't disappoint him. He just downplayed everyone's doubts about his order.
Sun Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Shao: "The alliance leader is indeed worthy of being the alliance leader. If it hadn't been for the alliance leader's order, maybe everyone would have been covered in blood in front of Hulao Pass by now."
Starting with Sun Jian, the other princes all praised Yuan Shao's wise decision.
Yuan Shao smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said with a serious expression: "Everyone, as the leader of the coalition, and everyone trusts me so much, then Yuan will naturally fulfill his duties, work hard to do his part, lead the coalition to break through Hulao Pass, and kill
Only by killing the eunuch who is causing chaos in the country can we live up to everyone's trust in Yuan."
A group of princes discussed it and made a decision to build siege equipment first, and then let the army recharge their batteries. When the siege equipment was built and the soldiers had enough energy, they could then consider siege.
.
The coalition forces here are busy building ordnance to prepare for the siege, and in Hulao Pass, it is naturally impossible for Chu Yi and others not to notice this.
Everyone knows that once the coalition forces complete the construction of siege equipment, they will definitely choose to attack the city as soon as possible. At this time, a group of people were gathering together.
Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Cao Cao and others were sitting there respectively. Several of the scribes looked leisurely. For example, Jia Xu was sitting there honestly, looking extremely low-key, and next to him was a fancy man.
The scribe who was slightly younger than last year and looked like a wanderer was sitting there very free and easy. This person was none other than Guo Jia, the scribe who was recruited by Chu Yi not long ago.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw Chu Yi slowly walking into the hall.
Everyone stood up and bowed to Chu Yi, and Chu Yi slowly turned around, glanced at everyone, put his hands down and said: "You don't have to be polite."
After everyone took their seats, Chu Yi slowly said: "I have called everyone here today to listen to everyone's opinions on the coalition forces outside the city!"
Chu Yi said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell them so that everyone can judge."
Lü Bu, who considered himself the second most powerful figure in the army, saw that Huang Zhong had no intention of speaking, so he immediately said: "Master Hou, why do you have to think so much? Lü Bu is willing to be the vanguard and lead the army on horseback to defeat the coalition forces outside the city in one fell swoop.
.”
Chu Yi glanced at Lu Bu and said calmly: "Oh, so Fengxian, do you have a way to defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army?"
Lu Bu suddenly looked a bit ugly and gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are just timid people. They have military formations. Wouldn't Lv Mou retaliate in kind? As long as the Marquis allows me to lead the camp as the vanguard, Yan Liang will be defeated."
, What’s so difficult about Wen Chou’s military formation!”
Everyone naturally nodded secretly. Everyone has seen the strength of the trapped camp. If the trapped camp is led by a peerless general as brave as Lu Bu, it is really not impossible to break the military formation of Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
But at this moment, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said to Lu Bu: "General Fengxian and the trapped army are indeed capable of fighting any strong army in the world, but General Fengxian has never thought about it, even if you can break the army of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, then
How to deal with the hundreds of thousands of coalition forces? Not to mention others, including Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and Youzhou Gongsun Zan. These princes all have strong armies. If they unite to surround and kill Fengxian and fall into the camp, I am afraid that they will be defeated by then.
First, it is difficult for him to fight with two fists and four hands, and it is not unusual for him to be trapped in the camp and be surrounded and killed by hundreds of thousands of troops."
Lu Bu couldn't help but curled his lips, glanced at everyone present and said: "Lu is the vanguard, will all the generals sit back and watch Lu being surrounded and killed?"
Obviously Lu Bu is not a fool. He can naturally think that when he is the vanguard, if the powerful generals such as Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, and Huang Zhong lead the troops and charge into the battle, the possibility of him being surrounded and killed is almost slim.
Guo Jia, who looked drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes, but was stabbed in the waist by Cao Cao and said: "Don't you have anything to say in Fengxiao?"
Cao Cao glared angrily at Cao Cao for delaying his sleep, but at this moment Guo Jia also noticed that everyone's eyes were on him because of Cao Cao's actions.
With a slight cough, Guo Jia didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught slacking off during the discussion. Instead, he looked like it was natural and said with a smile: "Where did you just say that?"
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard what Guo Jia said. Their eyes became strange when they looked at Guo Jia, but Cao Cao simply explained what happened just now.
A flash of light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he looked at Lu Bu and said seriously: "General Fengxian, has he ever thought that if he followed what General Fengxian thought, he could be sure to annihilate all the coalition forces, or in other words, all the princes in one battle?
Are they all going to stay?”
Lu Bu immediately grinned. Even if he was as confident as he was, he could not guarantee that he could annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops and keep more than a dozen princes behind. This was simply impossible.
Seeing Lu Bu's reaction, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "It seems that General Fengxian also knows that it is impossible. In this case, besides losing the soldiers in vain, abandoning the tall and strong city wall, sacrificing his own strength and
People fight tooth and nail, this is what reckless people do."
Being called a reckless man by Guo Jia, Lu Bu couldn't help but widen his eyes, clenched his fists and stared at Guo Jiada: "Guo Fengxiao, if you dare to call Lu a reckless man, be careful I will punch you to death!"
Facing Lu Bu's roar, Guo Jia seemed very calm, not affected by his momentum at all, and still looked free and easy.
Many generals couldn't help but look at Guo Jia with admiration for daring to stroke Lu Bu's beard. At least they couldn't guarantee that they could maintain such composure under Lu Bu's power.
At this moment, a slight cough came from above, and it was Chu Yi who spoke to stop the conflict between the two.
Of course, whether it is Lu Bu or Guo Jia, the two of them are not really in conflict, it is just a verbal dispute at most.
Glancing at Guo Jia, Chu Yi said with a smile: "Since Fengxiao doesn't agree with Fengxian's idea, does Fengxiao have any good ideas to help me defeat the enemy?"
Guo Jia smiled calmly and said: "This is easy. There are many coalition forces, but they are just a mob. If we can seize the seven-inch blow, we will ensure that once the coalition forces collapse, they will no longer be threatened by the Marquis."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. When they heard what Guo Jia said, it seemed that the coalition forces, which seemed to be huge and very strong, actually had a fatal weakness. How could this not arouse everyone's curiosity?
Jia Xu, who had been sitting there, raised his head and glanced at Guo Jia, with a somewhat understanding smile in his eyes. It was obvious that Jia Xu already knew what Guo Jia wanted to say.
As if sensing Jia Xu's gaze, Guo Jia just smiled. Guo Jia was quite a bit wary of Jia Xu, a guy who was full of ideas but never willing to speak out, and who was low-key and suspicious.
With a straight look on his face, Guo Jia looked at the crowd and said: "As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat their horses' chews. The amount of food and fodder they consume every day is an extremely terrifying figure. Most of these princes' coalition forces come from afar.
, it is impossible to carry too much grain with you. If you can burn the coalition's grain with a fire, its storage will make everyone in the coalition panic."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. The reason was very simple. The key point was that they didn't expect it. Now that Guo Jia said this, the coalition forces no longer seemed so powerful and scary.
Chu Yi nodded slightly and glanced at Guo Jia, then his eyes fell on Jia Xu and said, "Does Wen He have anything to say?"
Jia Xu's shrunken body slowly straightened up. With a bit of a wry smile on his face, he said, "What Fengxiao said is correct. Jia Mou agrees very much..."
When everyone heard what Jia Xu said, they all looked a little disappointed. Did they think Jia Xu had a better way?
However, at this moment, Jia Xu slowly spoke: "But Feng Xiao is a gentleman. Just cutting off his food supply may destabilize the coalition forces. But if you want better results, it is better to use other means."
.”
Cao Cao, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and others couldn't help but look at Jia Xu. Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu and said, "Oh, so you have other methods? Come on, tell me."
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said with a flash of chill: "Just cutting off their food and fodder is not enough to cause unrest in the army. If we cut off their water sources and throw human and animal carcasses into the coalition water sources..."
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change. They looked at Jia Xu with a look of disbelief on his calm face but revealed such a vicious plan. Many people had a look of horror in their eyes.
"Hiss, this plan is so vicious, I'm afraid it will harm Tianhe..."
One of the generals muttered softly.
As for the other generals, they remained silent one by one, but just by looking at the fearful looks on Jia Xu's face, you can tell what everyone thinks about Jia Xu's strategy.
On the other hand, when Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu, his eyes couldn't help showing some admiration. Obviously, in Cao Cao's view, there was nothing wrong with Jia Xu's strategy. The two sides were trying their best to win the battle.
Destroying the opponent is the ultimate goal.
It's just that Jia Xu's strategy sounds too unacceptable, but at its core, it is still a strategy to kill the enemy.
