After the meal, the camp was packed up, and the army set off again to the north, heading towards the valley.
Time flies, we have been traveling all day again, and it is approaching evening.
But this time Xun Yu never urged him to rest.
The words about preserving soldiers' physical strength and not traveling at night completely disappeared.
In the end, Liu Zhang felt tired and decided to camp and rest.
But even so, Xun Yu urged him several times, thinking that it was more important to hurry.
Liu Zhang couldn't resist, so he could only continue moving forward. Finally, when he passed a dangerous place, he successfully set up camp.
There was no words for the whole night, and it was extremely peaceful and comfortable.
On the second day, we continued on our way.
Thanks to Xun Yu's urging, they originally arrived at the valley in the evening, but arrived at dusk earlier.
The Hemiao Mountain Valley is different from ordinary valleys.
At the outermost periphery, there is just a slightly raised platform.
When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was just uneven.
As a result, the further we go, the more obvious the power of the mountains becomes.
In the end, a huge valley was formed that was surrounded by mountains on three sides to prevent access.
It is said to be a valley, but it can also be described as a plain in the mountains.
Since it is connected by a main road, it is like walking to the end after entering the mountain.
If you hadn't looked at the entire Hemiao Mountains, you wouldn't have thought that this was a valley.
The road is too long!
The peaks on both sides of the valley are rising little by little, making people unconscious.
It was only halfway there that I felt something strange.
Only when we entered the deepest part did we realize that it was a valley.
This also has a great convenience, that is, the roads are very wide.
The widest part of the valley mouth is hundreds of steps wide!
If it’s crowded, there’s no problem lining up with two thousand people!
It can be said that the Hemiao Mountain Valley shocked everyone.
Even the designer Xun Yu is no exception.
He also learned from the map that he had never been here in person, so how could he have imagined that this would be the situation.
However, Xun Yu was shocked, but it was a surprise!
The greater the width, the more soldiers can be accommodated for attack!
In this case, it is convenient for the party with more people.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Xun Yu was happy, but Gao Shun was miserable.
Originally, the valleys in Gao Shun's eyes must have been shaped like the mouth of the Calabash Valley.
As long as you occupy a narrow place, you can make a proper defense with a smaller number of troops.
This was great, the narrowest point was much wider than all the valleys he had experienced.
If you want to rely on the terrain, you must line up the entire trapped camp.
In this case, there would not be a few rows of soldiers at all.
For the trapped camp whose military strength is weak, it is really a disadvantage.
It also does not conform to the essence of the layout as a defender.
If a war breaks out, as long as one point is defeated, there will be no follow-up soldiers to make up for it.
This would run the risk of being completely defeated.
Therefore, after entering the valley, Gao Shun is the most troublesome.
Although Dian Wei also came with the army, he was mainly responsible for Liu Zhang's safety.
How to arrange the trapped camp and how to command it all depends on Gao Shun's idea.
Naturally, there is only one requirement, which is to withstand the Wei army's attack and not be broken through at any time.
"King Han, do you have any special orders?"
Before making arrangements, Gao Shun came to ask Liu Zhang for instructions as usual.
This is also his purpose that has never changed over the years.
"Gao Shun, I won't interfere this time. It's up to you what to do."
"But you should understand what Gu wants."
Gao Shun nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, King Han, I'll take care of it!"
"Well, don't let me down."
Just as Gao Shun was about to pat his chest in assurance, Xun Yu on the side spoke first.
"General Gao, what do you think I said? Don't talk too much!"
"Look at this, are you encountering a problem?"
Gao Shun didn't squint or speak.
It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to Xun Yu.
"Hehehe..."
Xun Yu chuckled and became even more proud.
"Look at the terrain here, there are almost no dangers that can be exploited!"
"However, I do have a suggestion. Do you want to listen?"
Gao Shun didn't want to pay attention to Xun Yu at first, but the matter was so important that he had to give in.
"Please give me some advice, Master Xun."
"Hahaha..."
Xun Yu laughed and stroked his beard, feeling extremely proud.
"Look, what I said is right, right? You can be confident, but you can't be too arrogant!"
"How do you know if Cao Cao has special means to defeat you? For example, now, without Cao Cao, you will have a huge headache!"
Gao Shun lowered his head and remained humble.
"Yes, I finally realized that I was wrong. Please give me some advice, Mr. Xun."
"Well, that's a good attitude!"
Xun Yu nodded, very satisfied.
"In that case, I will give you some advice."
With that said, Xun Yu turned around and pointed straight back.
It's the cliff where the valley ends.
"The valley is too spacious, which is not conducive to defense. On the contrary, the mountain walls are concave."
"Now that we don't have enough troops, we can rely on the mountain wall behind us to form an arc-shaped defense circle!"
"In this way, we can not only save troops, but also limit the scope of the Wei army's attack. Why not do it?"
Poof!
Upon hearing this, Gao Shun almost laughed out loud.
I thought I had some good ideas, but it turns out they were all bad ideas!
I thought that Xun Yu, as the mastermind, had his own knowledge about the military.
Unexpectedly, he was a complete layman!
How could Gao Shun not see this obvious arrangement of using the mountain as a basis.
However, from the moment he saw it, Gao Shun rejected this plan.
The reason is simple, there is no strategic depth.
In other words, there is no retreat!
If you want to make use of the mountain, you must compress the follow-up space to the extreme.
In that case, if something goes wrong, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the huge Wei army.
At that time, no matter whether you are trapped in the camp or Gao Shun, you will be unable to change the situation.
On the other hand, if the defensive line is pushed forward, it can still quickly retreat and readjust when the battle goes unfavorably.
Only in this way can we stabilize our position and prevent the situation from collapsing.
The longer the depth, the greater the space for the trapped camp to play.
Unfortunately, the longer the depth, the greater the distance that needs to be defended.
It is equivalent to the two showing opposite trends.
What Gao Shun wants is to find the most compromise point.
Not only narrow the defense width as much as possible, but also obtain the greatest strategic depth.
It was definitely not the bad idea Xun Yu said.
