Chapter 324 Lure the enemy to destroy 1
Yuan Shao returned to the official residence and said to his civil and military officials: "What are you doing? It seems that just having door panels and wooden boards is not enough. You have to think of more means to resist the attack of the big and raging fire army."
Ju Su shook his head, what can I do? Today, it was just a tentative attack and I couldn't stand it. If it were a formal attack, I didn't know what would happen? "Lord, I heard that Lu Ning's army also had equipment such as crossbow beds, catapults, etc.? Can those wooden boards and door panels resist the attack?"
After hearing this, Yuan Shao said, "Zhengping, what are you doing?"
Ju Su knew that there was no better way to suppress the attacks of Lu Ning's crossbow beds, crossbows, etc. for the time being, but we can't always be beaten. "Lord, since the Big Bear Army invaded our Jizhou, our army has only left the city to fight once. Now the generals and soldiers of the Big Bear Army think that our army will not go out of the city to fight. They are arrogant and rude now and do not take our army seriously. Our army can take the opportunity to go out of the city to sneak attack the Big Bear Army, and maybe they will get unexpected results."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt it was a bit unreliable. Even the role of cavalry leaving the city is gone forever. Now I have transferred the infantry out, isn’t there any hope? “Didn’t you all say that our army cannot engage in field battles with the Big Bear Army? You can only defend the city. If you leave the city, you are not afraid of fighting like cavalry leaving the city?”
After hearing this, Ju Su shook his head, can this be the same? Once again and again, the situation changes, of course the result will be different. "Lord, I objected to the last time the cavalry left the city to fight, because the Big Bear Army had just arrived, and they were all cautious and had no pride and complacent. Now it is different. Our army dares to go out of the city to fight, which makes them even more proud. This is the time when the Big Bear Army is most relaxed. Please think twice."
After hearing this, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others also thought that Ju Su’s words made sense, but how could this strategy come from Ju Su’s mouth? If it succeeds, wouldn’t Ju Su be better than us? But if you don’t agree, this is also an opportunity, so Guo Tu said: “My lord, our army is now in short supply of food and grass, and blindly defending the city is not a long-term solution. It is okay to fight in the city. I don’t know what the situation of our army will be like after failure, so the lord should think twice before doing it.”
After hearing this, Yuan Shao thought, aren’t you talking nonsense? I didn’t say anything, so I just thought twice. “What do you guys think? It seems that it’s a problem to drag the big bear now. Now Lu Ning has more food and grass than in our city. If this continues, we will be dragged to death by that boy Lu Ning.”
After hearing this, Feng Ji felt that his boss was also worried now, and it would be more and more trouble to go on. "Lord, it's okay to go out of the city to fight now. Our army first sent fewer soldiers out of the city to test it. If the sneak attack is really successful, then send more soldiers out of the city to sneak attack next time."
When Ju Su heard this, he said, what nonsense is this? Then there is another time. It would be good to succeed once, but it would be the next time. Isn’t this nonsense? "Lord, if there are few soldiers out of the city, there will be no effect. Besides, if you succeed this time, you will never have another chance. You all think that Lu Ning is really a fool. He has famous scholars such as Guo Jia and Lu Su. After this time, Lu Ning’s army will be full of energy."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao glared at Feng Ji, but Xun Chen next to him said, "My lord, to relieve the danger in Jizhou, you have to send another messenger to Chang'an to let the court come forward to reconcile, otherwise our army will be in danger."
After hearing this, Guo Tu immediately flattered: "Lord, we are going to send a messenger to Chang'an to complain, but we must also be prepared for the battle. We cannot put all hope in the same place."
Yuan Shao said: "You can write memorials and send people to Chang'an as soon as possible; but how many years have you been going to go out to fight in the city? You all express your opinions."
Yan Liang said: "Lord, if our army wants to go out of the city to raid, it will have to at least 100,000 troops, otherwise it will not cause any harm to the Big Bear Army. Of course, if there is a little more, it will be even more certain."
Xu You said: "But our army now has only a little over 180,000 in the city. What if there is a danger if it sends 100,000 troops?"
Guo Tu said: "Since the lord said he wanted to send troops to fight, then the young master left the city was really meaningless. He also had to prepare reinforcements and conduct a second attack, so that he had hope to defeat the Big Bear."
Yuan Shao said: "Punze, how many soldiers do you think you want to go out?"
After hearing this, Guo Tu's face turned pale. Can I say it? It's easy to say if he wins. If he loses, it would be strange if I don't scold you to death. "Lord, I have to think about how much troops I send. I think what General Yan Liang said makes sense."
Yuan Shao glared at Guo Tu again, "You are playing tricks, when is it time, and you are still playing tricks on me. "Zhengping, you first suggest going out of the city to fight. How many soldiers do you think you need to dispatch?"
Ju Su thought, no one dared to say. If I said it, after the real failure, wouldn’t I become a scapegoat? I still have to learn from Tian Feng’s lesson and can’t speak nonsense anymore. “Lord, it depends on what you want to make the Big Bear Army? The number of troops sent is proportional to the results of the battle.”
Yuan Shao thought about it and felt that he had no idea in his heart and always felt empty. "Tell me how to arrange troops and arrange troops. Did that boy Lu Ning attack through two city gates?"
When Feng Ji heard that going out of the city was a foregone conclusion, he had to show it. "Lord, the Big Bear Army attacked the West Gate and the North Gate, but our army cannot distribute its troops equally. It must have a main attack and feint attack, concentrate its superior forces to annihilate one place, and then launch a second wave of attacks. If it goes well, turn around and annihilate the Big Bear Army in another place."
After hearing this, Ju Su smiled bitterly, what kind of bullshit tactic is this? Isn’t it that let the other party gradually eliminate our army? “Lord, I think that on the basis of the main attack and feint attack, a one-time attack will be formed. Don’t do a second wave of attacks. It is a tactic of adding fuel to the oil, which will backfire. It will weaken our army’s combat effectiveness and will be swallowed by the Big Bear Army bit by bit.”
Yuan Shao didn't pay attention after hearing this. His advisers were always intrigue and had no tacit understanding between them. They all blamed each other. They had opposite opinions. One person was not convinced by the other. Can such a think tank have a good combat plan? In history, the advisers under Yuan Shao were divided into several waves. Tian Feng and Ju Su were honest, honest and fair, and had extraordinary strategies. However, the two would not flatter Yuan Shao, and they always sang opposite Yuan Shao, often said something that made Yuan Shao unable to get out of the stage, and did not leave a face for Yuan Shao, so they had never been valued by Yuan Shao; Guo Tu and Ji Yibo, but there were conflicts between the two. As long as Tian Feng and Ju Su suggested, they would definitely oppose them. These two were very good at flattering Yuan Shao and often said
The words of Yuan Shao were very happy to give up Yuan Shao, but the strategy of the two was only second-rate; Shen Pei, the Xin brothers included one, but they also had differences. Shen Pei was Yuan Shao's best friend, and the Xin brothers were not very respected; Xu You, Dong Zhao, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen and others were also one. They were basically centrists, and they didn't talk much, mainly to protect themselves, and there was no cooperation between them. So there were several opinions and several plans every time they discussed the issue, which made Yuan Shao always unable to make up his mind, unable to make up his mind, and could not distinguish between good and bad, and it was natural to lose to Cao Cao in the end. Otherwise, with strength, Cao Cao would not be able to compare with Yuan Shao. Cao Cao in history was also very afraid of Yuan Shao in the early stage and before the Battle of Guandu.
The next day, Lu Ning's army continued to attack the city from a long range, but from the general to the soldiers' mental outlook changed, they all became more vigilant. Last night, the generals were beaten by Guo Jia to a wake-up call and expressed Lu Ning's concerns, which also made the generals realize the seriousness of the problem. Then the generals scolded the soldiers again.
Lu Ning, Guo Jia, Lu Su, and Dian Wei were also watching the attack of Lu Ning's army from a distance. Guo Jia observed for a while and said, "Lord, the city wall is a bit abnormal. Why are there no important generals commanding the battle on the city wall? There is a conspiracy here."
