Chapter 821
It is not difficult to break Guangling City, but it is difficult to guard against Sun Ce while breaking the city.
Sun Ce is extremely slippery, and all his troops have been walking around outside Guangling City without fighting Cao Jun. Often, he stayed in a certain place for a day and a half and left. In the past half month, Cao Mengde has divided his troops and shot them into the air several times. In particular, Sun Ce Shuijun appeared and disappear unpredictably, making it difficult to grasp whereabouts.
The Guangling water network is densely covered with mountains and hills. Cao Jun's northern soldiers were not easy to pursue. In addition, Cao Mengde has not many soldiers here, only 30,000. If you want to block Guangling and divide your forces, you will be in danger of defeating them separately.
After all, although Cao Jun is elite, he is dominated by steel armor. However, there are 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses in Guangling City, and Sun Ce also has 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. It is not easy for 30,000 Cao's troops to suppress them without occupying favorable terrain and advantages. It is extremely dangerous to divide the troops again.
Cao Mengde did not have many soldiers and horses. He used to be Yanzhou animal husbandry at the beginning, but he only had 10,000 men. Later, the Qing State Yellow Scarf was reduced, the old and the weak were eliminated, and 50,000 soldiers were selected. Since Zhao Yu left for more than a year, it has only increased by one 20,000. Its total strength is less than 80,000.
Guangling here East Road is 30,000, and Caoren West Road is also 30,000. also nearly 20,000 guarding his hometown, Yanzhou, can't move lightly.
It’s not that Cao Mengde doesn’t want to recruit troops, how great territory and how many troops he raises. To be militant is self-defeating.
Previously, with the power of Yanzhou, it raised nearly 80,000 troops, which has exceeded the pass line by many. Had it not been for the high-yield improved varieties of Zhao Yu, these 80,000 would not be able to feed.
With few soldiers and horses, it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice. No matter how good the strategy is, there must be enough manpower to implement it. Therefore, Cao Mengde was embarrassed.
Xunyou said with a smile: "Gong Cao didn't know about Sun Ce's naval camp, but he knew it when he was down."
"Oh?!"
Cao Mengde is a body Positive: "Please teach me, sir!"
Xun You said: "The Han Dynasty was slumped, and he was in Chang'an earlier, and he was the emperor Huangmen. It is a pity...The government abandoned the government and returned to Yingchuan in the year. There is already an elephant of peace in the prosperous age in Sichuan, and when my uncle wrote from him, I came to see Cao Gong. Cao Gongxiong, who has heard and witnessed, is willing to praise the paintings for Cao Gong’s account and contribute to Cao Gongping’s troubled times."
Cao Mengde is overjoyed hearing this, and quickly got up and bowed: "With the help of the public, I like a fish back in water!"
"Master!"
Xunyou got up , Bowed deeply, straightened up and said resolutely: "The subordinates have just arrived, and are about to offer a strategy. When they come down, I will carefully inspect the surrounding areas of Guangling. Then Sun Ce Shuijun is not in Jiangdu, not in Yuguo, and not in the sea. The mausoleum is in the Dongling Pavilion!"
"Dongling Pavilion?"
Cao Mengde thought for a while and said: "But south of Guangling, under the hills, on the banks of the river Dongling Pavilion?!"
"The lord is wise." Xun You said: "It is this trifling Dongling Pavilion. The Dongling Pavilion faces the river and is surrounded by hills. The terrain is extremely secret. I found that it was reasonable. I saw that Dongling Pavilion has five li water villages along the river, which is clearly Sun Ce's navy camp. If you dare to fight head-on, you can rely on nothing more than the navy. The lord only needs to send one General, a raid overnight, and set fire to his navy camp. Sun Ce is a turtle in the urn, and there is no escape!"
"Okay!"
Cao Mengde was overjoyed, and cried: "Okay, good, Gongda really rains in time, rains in time!"
then said: "Who wants Lead the soldiers to break his water village!"
"The last general is willing to go!"
Four or five members, including Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang, stood up to fight.
Cao Mengde was happy in his heart, thought it over, his eyes fell on Xu Huang, and said: "Xu Gongming!"
"The final will be!" Xu Huang looked overjoyed and bowed quickly. Worship.
"I and you, 5,000 elite soldiers, will raid Dongling Pavilion at midnight tonight, dare you!"
"How dare you!" Xu Huanghong said: "If you don't break Sun Ce Shuijun , The final general will raise his head to see the lord!"
"Okay!"
Cao Mengde laughed heartily and gave him a soldier talisman to make him immediately dispatch troops and generals, and be fully prepared.
Zhao Yu looked at all this with a smile, especially Xun You, who really deserved to be Cao Mengde’s mastermind.
The so-called strategy, not just thinking about it, can break the enemy's armies. Any strategy must be based on actual conditions. Xun You came here for the first time, but he had long thoughts in his heart. Before he came to see Cao Mengde, he ventured on his own to explore the battlefield situation. Only when he knew it well, the strategy could be directed at the enemy's vital points, one strike certain kill.
The person who left his name in the history of history is really not a fluke.
After Xu Huang took the order to leave the large account, Cao Mengde sighed again and again: "As soon as Sun Ce's navy is broken, Sun Ce will break the back. At any time, the army will be in a mess. I will attack Guangling again, and he will not Dare to hold me back."
Xun You entered the strategy again: "General Xu Huang attacked the water village tonight, Sun Ce will definitely return to the army to rescue..."
Next to play Zhicai said with a smile: "Why don't you kill Sun Ce in a battle?"
Cao Mengde eyes shined and can't help but laugh with his palm: "Good plan, good plan." Then he said, "Who wants to follow Xu Gongming?" , Lead troops to set up an ambush in Dongling Pavilion?"
"Meng De, I will go." Xiahou Dun cup one fist in the other hand said: "This time is important, it is better for me to go."
When Cao Mengde heard this, he nodded and said: "Yuan Rang will act, I can rest assured..."
Cheng Yujin said: "If General Xiahou goes, this camp..."
Zhao Yu said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Cao Mengde said with a smile: "With Mr. Zhao here, how can Daying lose?"
Cheng Yu nodded did not mention it, and instead said: "I heard that although Zhou Gongjin was weak in the year, he was also rigorous schemes and deep foresight. It would be Sun Ce cutting off one's means of retreat, instead of going to rescue, he came to attack my camp. Make some preparations."
Cao Mengde followed good will, and ordered Commander Chen to take care of him. Le Jin must not be missed.
In the end, Cao Mengde said: "Satisfy the three armies, and attack Guangling City tomorrow!"
"Here!"
The generals shouted.
Retire all the generals, leaving only five people in the big account. Cao Mengde, Zhao Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai also Xunyou.
Cao Mengde was relieved at this time, said with a smile: "Mr. Gongda is new here, and it is reasonable to host a banquet. However, the barracks are very simple and shameful to me."
p>Xun You said with a smile: "The major event of the military is important, and the subordinates are here to help the master break the ears of the enemy."
Cao Mengde smiled extremely happily and said: "Wen Ruo It is Wang Zuo’s talent, Gong Da is my mastermind, and there are so many heroes from the Xun family!"
So he ordered the soldiers to order the fire head army to rectify a table of wine and food, and the five people laughed at Yan Yan. Haunted the current battle situation.
"Sir!"
The tent door opened, and a big man in armor rushed in, seeing Zhao Yu, his expression could not help being excited.
First, I paid respect to Cao Mengde: "Lord."
I worship Zhao Yu again: "Sir!"
"It's a classic."
p>
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "If you haven't eaten, sit down if you don't eat."
Cao Mengde also said with a smile: "Dian Wei was ordered by me to supervise the construction of siege equipment."
Zhao Yu slightly nodded, no wonder we didn’t see Dianwei before.
In this time and space, Dian Wei and Zhao Yu have not seen each other for more than a year. Looking at him now, he is incomparable than before. The rough and fierce appearance remains unchanged, but the blood qi alone has reached the extreme, boiling and billowing, like a walking melting pot. It seems that only one step at the door can break into the profound realm of Yunqi and God!
