Chapter 230 Tian Feng made a plan

Julu, Yuan Shao’s central army tent.

Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Gongsun Zan has many soldiers, but our army has few soldiers; Gongsun Zan has many cavalry, and our army is all infantry; what is even more troublesome is that the Hebei area is plain terrain, which is conducive to cavalry assault but not to infantry persistence. Based on these three factors, our army can be said to be at an absolute disadvantage."

Xu You sighed, "It's a pity that Zhang He, Jiang Qi, Han Meng and others all have their own troops and are unwilling to defect to their lords. Otherwise, with these three cavalrymen, why not be afraid of Gongsun Zan's only tens of thousands of cavalry?"

Feng Ji said worriedly: "What is even more worrying is that I heard that Gongsun Zan was sending people to win over Zhang He and others. If Zhang He and others defect to Gongsun Zan, the situation would be really bad."

Tian Feng said: "Although Zhang He and others are unwilling to help their lords, they will not turn to Gongsun Zan for the time being. They are still watching and seeing who will win the Battle of Julu. However, Feng is sure that no matter who wins in the end, Zhang He and others will lead the army to compete with each other."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's expression moved when he heard this and said in a low voice, "Yuan Hao means that as long as our army can win the Battle of Julu, will Zhang He and others lead their troops to surrender?"

Tian Feng said: "That's right."

Yuan Shao said: "It seems that the battle of Julu must be won."

Shen Pei said: "However, it is really not easy to win the Battle of Julu."

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng with hope and asked, "Does Yuan Hao have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Tian Feng said: "The enemy is strong and I am weak. If you want to win this battle, you can only win by surprise."

Yuan Shao asked anxiously: "How to win by surprise?"

Tian Feng stroked the willow beard and said in a narrow voice: "War an ambush at the right place, at the right time and at the right conditions."

"Huh?" Yuan Shao's general Chunyu Qiong asked in confusion when he heard this, "What does the military advisor mean?"

Not only Chunyu Qiong couldn't understand, but also Yuan Shao, Han Juzi, Guan Yuanjin and other generals were also confused. Only Xu You, Feng Ji, Shen Pei and other advisers looked solemn and had thoughtful expressions on their faces. Isn't it a fantasy to fight an ambush at the right place, at the right time, and at the right conditions?

Generally speaking, you can choose a suitable location to attack an ambush, but it is impossible to choose a suitable time at all, and it is even more impossible to wait until the conditions are ripe before launching an ambush. Because the enemy is dynamic, it is impossible to stay at the ambush site and wait for the ambush.

Tian Feng couldn't answer the questions of Chunyu Qiong and other generals, and walked quickly to the front of the case, pointed to the map and said, "Lord, please see, Julu County and even the entire Hebei are all flat. The enemy's scouts can clearly detect the enemy situation within a radius of more than ten miles, and there is no suitable place for ambush."

"Yes."

This time, not only did the generals Chunyu Qiong nod their heads repeatedly, but Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Yuan Shao and others also echoed: "There is no suitable ambush in this area."

"That's right." Tian Feng smiled and said excitedly, "Since the lord and all the gentlemen all think so, I think Gongsun Zan and his advisers and generals must also think so. In this way, our army will be surprised and unprepared. This ambush has been won at least half of the time."

Yuan Shao said anxiously: "But Yuan Hao, isn't there no place for ambush?"

Tian Feng smiled and said, "The Hebei Plain is flat. It is indeed not suitable to bury ambush on the ground, but what about the underground?"

Yuan Shao said in surprise: "Yeah, ground~~ underground!?"

"Underground?" Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Xu You and others suddenly said, "This is the fate."

"Yes, it's underground!" Tian Feng said in a deep voice, "First dig a Tibetan military pit on the plain, then hide the army underground, cover it with wooden hay, and then spread it with thin soil. You will not find any flaws if you don't go near you and look carefully. However, digging a Tibetan military pit takes time, so you must select the ambush location in advance."

Yuan Shao hit the clue and said, "Is this the origin of the appropriate location that Yuan Hao said just now?"

Tian Feng said: "That's right."

Yuan Shao said: "What about the right time?"

Tian Feng said: "When the heavy rain and mud are heavy, Gongsun Zan's Youyan cavalry will completely lose their advantage!"

"It's ridiculous!" As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Xu You sneered, "You can decide the excavation point of the hidden weapon pit first, but when will it rain be chosen?"

Tian Feng smiled faintly, stared at Xu You with a bright look, and said in a decisive voice: "The heavy rain will surely be like a torrential rain in five days. Does Mr. Ziyuan believe it?"

Xu You said: "Of course I don't believe it."

Tian Feng turned around and said to Yuan Shao with a serious face: "Lord, Feng dares to issue a military order. If there is no rain in five days, he is willing to lead the military law."

Yuan Shao's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Hao, there is no joke in the army."

Tian Feng clasped his fists and said, "Feng is willing to issue a military order."

"Okay." Yuan Shao said, "There are all suitable places and time now, but I don't know what these suitable conditions refer to?"

Tian Feng sighed and said, "Lord, the right place and the right time are nothing. Only these suitable conditions are the most difficult."

Yuan Shao said: "How do you say this?"

Tian Feng said: "There must be an army with a tenacious style as bait to lead Gongsun Zan's main cavalry by the nose, and finally introduce the enemy into the right place at the right time. However, this task is too dangerous. The army that serves as bait will directly face the assault of Gongsun Zan's tens of thousands of cavalry, and it is difficult not to be defeated."

"Gongsun Zan's Youyan Cavalry looked at by some local chickens and tiles." As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, a powerful voice sounded like thunder. Everyone looked at it quickly. Ju Yi had already stood up and stood in the tent and clasped his fists at Yuan Shao, "Lord, military advisor, I am willing to lead the camp as the bait."

A faint smile flashed across Tian Feng's mouth and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, General Ju Yi is the one who takes this important task."

"Um~~" Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "Now ask the military advisor to issue orders."

Tian Feng straightened his clothes and walked to Yuan Shao's case, and said aloud: "Ju Yi obeyed the order."

Ju Yi clasped his fists and said proudly: "The last one is here."

Tian Feng said: "Lead 8,000 elite troops from the headquarters to the south, and all soldiers removed their iron armor and only wore armor. You can prepare more oxen and carriages and other supplies. A small number of chariots can be loaded with military rations, equipment and other supplies. The rest of the vehicles are loaded with dry firewood, white grass and other items that cause fire, and are covered with linen. If Gongsun Zan's army attacks, you can discard carriages loaded with military rations and supplies along the way, and fight and retreat to Zeguo. You are only allowed to retreat thirty miles a day, so there must be no mistakes."

Ju Yi responded loudly: "The last general will receive the order."

Tian Feng said again: "Chunyu Qiong, Han Juzi, and Guan Yuanjin."

Chunyu Qiong and his general Han Juzi, and Guan Yuanjin stepped forward at the same time. Yu Tianfeng lined up in front of him, clasped his fists and replied quickly: "The last one will be here."

"Each leader of the army and rushed to Zeguo to dig out more soldiers."

"Affect the order."

Zhao State, Gongsun Zan's central army tent.

Zhao Yun strode into the tent and said to Gongsun Zan: "See the lord."

"Zilong, you are here, haha." Gongsun Zan smiled, "How has the Eight Thousand White Horses been trained?"

Zhao Yunran said: "Baima Yi always waits for condemnation."

"Yes." Gongsun Zan nodded, "Zilong doesn't have to be anxious. I'll have a good rest in the camp these days."

"Report~~" As soon as Gongsun Zan finished speaking, a junior school suddenly stepped in and knelt down and said quickly, "Lord, just now, the grain transport team has gone south to send a letter."

"Xindu is Yuan Shao's place to store grain. Should he transport military rations to Julu?" Guan Jing, who was standing on the side, looked moved and asked the little school, "Have the horse explorer ever returned, how many carriages are there in the grain transport team?"

Xiaoshao: "There are about 800 carriages."

"Eight hundred carriages?" Guan Jing said to Gongsun Zan, "Lord, this is not a small number."

Gongsun Zan said: "How many army escorts are there?"

The small school answered: "There are escorts from 8,000 soldiers from Anping County."

"Eight thousand county soldiers? They are just groups of native chickens and tile dogs." Gongsun Zan said this, his eyes were cold, and he shouted quickly, "Gongsun Fan, where is the Shan Jing?"

The two healthy generals stood up and said quickly: "The last one is here."

Gongsun Zan said: "Immediately, ignite five thousand light cavalry and rush to the south of Xindu to seize Yuan Shao's military rations."

Gongsun Fan, Shan Jing suddenly agreed to his promise: "The last general will receive the order."

Yanzhou, Cao Cao's central army tent.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, Guo Jia and others walked in quickly.

Before the people arrived, Xun Yu had already persuaded him urgently: "Lord, Yanzhou is now settled and people's hearts are not stable, so it is not advisable to use weapons without any ease."

"Yes." Xun You and Cheng Yu also advised, "Besides, the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian is kind and righteous, and the world respects the gentleman. If the lord is unleashed the army to retaliate for his own selfishness, wouldn't it be a shame for the hearts of the scholars in the world? From then on, who dares to join the lord?"

"The revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable!" Cao Cao shouted with a dark face, "If you can't even avenge of killing your father, what face does Cao have to stand in the world again?"

Because Chen Gong was friendly to Tao Qian and never spoke to avoid suspicion, he finally couldn't help saying to Cao Cao: "In order to avenge his father, did he ignore the great cause of fighting for the world?"

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Cao Cao said decisively, "If you can't even avenge your father's revenge, how can you fight for the world?"

Xun Yu said: "But~~"

"Okay." Cao Cao interrupted Xun Yu's words brutally and said loudly, "If Wen doesn't have to persuade him anymore, I have decided!"

"well."

Xun Yu and others shook their heads gently and sighed.

Cao Cao attacked the case with his hands and shouted loudly: "Xiahou Dun."

Xiahou Dun took a step forward, clasped his fists and said excitedly: "What are Meng De's instructions?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately, three thousand Qingzhou soldiers were rushing to Xuzhou for the front, but they entered the territory of Xuzhou, regardless of gender, age, and slaughtered them!"

Xiahou Dun said sternly: "The last general will receive the order."

Cao Cao suddenly stood up, his sinister eyes flashed over Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, and shouted loudly: "The other generals led their troops and horses to the entire army to wear mourning, and followed someone to Xuzhou~~Avenge revenge!"

Xiahou Yuan's generals responded with a loud promise.

Watching Cao Cao and the generals leave one after another, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but Chen Gong's eyes could not stop being disappointed. He never expected that Cao Cao was such a cruel and bloodthirsty person. What was the difference between such behavior and the butcher of horses? In a flash, Chen Gong had already left his mind.

The wilderness of the deer.

Shan Jing came to Gongsun Fan in a dirt and gasped, "General, this group of county soldiers is not like ordinary county soldiers, it's very agitated."

Gongsun Fan nodded when he heard this and said nothing.

Just a moment ago, Shan Jing led 2,000 cavalry from the headquarters to launch a tentative attack on Yuan Shao's grain transport team. Gongsun Fan thought that this grain transport team was vulnerable at all, and Shan Jing did not take it seriously. Both of them committed a taboo in underestimating the enemy. As a result, Shan Jing was defeated by the grain transport team as soon as they confronted each other.
