After listening to the two people's strategies, Liu Bei couldn't help but frowned.
Frankly speaking, he agreed with Xun You's strategy. Although some details were still a little rough, as long as they were improved, it would be very feasible.
But Guo Jia's night attack style made Liu Bei shake his head.
"As a filial piety." Liu Bei took Guo Jia's hand and said earnestly, "In today's battle, our army lost four thousand new warriors. Now the morale is low, the wounded have not been treated, and the battlefield has not been cleared. At this time, we have to fight again." When I send out troops to attack at night, I am worried that the soldiers will be afraid of fighting and will not contribute, fearing that they will never come back.
Furthermore, Thief Dong also suffered a lot of losses today, so how could he be defenseless? "
Liu Bei's meaning can be summed up in one sentence: Young man, don't try to make big news, let's stay down to earth.
But as a newcomer, Guo Jia uncharacteristically insisted on his own opinions this time.
"Your Majesty," Guo Jia bowed his hands and said solemnly, "Our army is exhausted from today's battle, but so are the rebels. Our army suffered heavy casualties. Could it be that the enemy's army was not injured at all?
Jia thought that at this time, it was more necessary to do the opposite. Jia dares to issue a military order. This battle cannot be won, and he is willing to be dealt with by military law! "
"this……"
Seeing that Guo Jia insisted on his opinion, Liu Bei set his sights on Zhang Heng again.
Zhang Heng shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "Mr. Xuande, the words of filial piety are reasonable. Let's give it a try. It's just a military order."
What kind of military order is it? You are not Ma Su.
Seeing that Zhang Heng agreed, Liu Bei thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then let's take a gamble! Ziyi, who do you think can lead the night attack?"
"The strategy came from the two of them, so we might as well let them order the generals." Zhang Heng, however, gave the choice to Xun You and Guo Jia.
"Zhang Wenyuan!"
The two of them immediately said in unison.
As soon as these words came out, the four people in the tent were stunned, and then they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
But their choice is understandable.
The operation of this night attack and arson was extremely difficult and could not be carried out except by top generals.
Guan Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the army, naturally they would not dare to think about it.
Although Zhang Fei is brave, he is a bit reckless by nature.
Taishi Ci was Liu Bei's bodyguard, and Xu Rong, who was guarding Xingyang, did not follow, so it was logical that Zhang Liao was the only candidate left.
Is Wenyuan so popular?
Liu Bei muttered in his heart, then waved his sleeves and ordered his soldiers to invite the generals to come.
Now that we have decided to attack at night, we might as well brainstorm some ideas.
Liu Bei originally wanted to call Sun Jian and Cao Cao together, but Zhang Heng dissuaded him.
It would be best if the two people's plan succeeds, but if it fails, their strength will inevitably be reduced, and a gap will inevitably arise between the allies. It would be better to let them add the icing on the cake when it is about to be completed.
After a while, all the generals gathered.
The two men explained their plans again, but the reactions of the generals were different.
Guan Yu frowned and stroked his beard, thinking about the feasibility of a night attack.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, didn't care about so much. As soon as he heard that there was a battle to be fought, he voted with his feet.
As for Zhang Liao and Tai Shi Ci, they both had expressionless faces, just waiting for the order to be issued.
Seeing that no one clearly objected, Liu Bei stood up and said: "Everyone, I have decided to attack the enemy camp at night. You will go back and prepare for war later. We will start taking action at midnight."
After hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and cupped their hands and said: "As you command!"
Then, Liu Bei set his sights on Zhang Heng and motioned for him to tell the story of the entire plan.
But Zhang Heng shook his head and signaled Liu Bei to let Xun You and Guo Jia come and assign the task.
After all, the plan was proposed by the two of them, and the specific implementation process should be carried out by them.
Of course, this also gives the two of them an opportunity to come to the forefront.
When Liu Bei saw this, he smiled and nodded, and ordered Xun You and Guo Jia to go to the middle and explain in detail.
Hearing this, Xun You didn't feel anything strange, but Guo Jia's face turned red with excitement.
Planning strategies, scolding Fang Qiu, commanding thousands of troops to raid the enemy camp, and killing the generals before returning them. Isn't this what I have always wanted?
I just didn’t expect it would come true so soon!
…
It's night, late at night.
Dong Zhuo's camp.
A battle was fought during the day. Although the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, the Xiliang army was not much better off.
After counting the battle damage, Dong Zhuo looked downcast and wanted to retreat.
The Flying Bear Army was dispatched but failed to do anything to the coalition forces. This made Dong Zhuo feel completely lost and even worried that if he continued to fight, he would end up in a disastrous defeat.
At the same time, he was also worried about the situation in Luoyang City, and he was also afraid that the princes surrounding Henan Yin would wait for an opportunity, and there was even Huangfu Song's 30,000 troops behind him...
It can be said that the situation Dong Zhuo faced was more complicated than that of Liu Bei, and there were more things to consider.
After losing the battle, he was eager to return to Luoyang and take control of the situation.
But at this time, he was unwilling to retreat.
Just when Dong Zhuo was feeling restless, Dong Huang walked in from outside the tent.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Dong Huang, Dong Zhuo immediately suppressed the impatience on his face and asked.
"Uncle, a secret report from Luoyang."
With that said, Dong Huang took out a letter from his arms, which was sent by Li Ru, who was staying in Luoyang.
Upon hearing the word Luoyang, Dong Zhuo frowned immediately.
The last letter from Luoyang brought him the news that Dong Min had been killed, and he didn't know what it would be like this time.
With uneasiness, Dong Zhuo opened the letter.
After reading it, a smile appeared on Dong Zhuo's face, and the previous gloom was swept away.
"Wenyou handles things steadily and is worthy of being my think tank!"
Dong Zhuo slammed the table and laughed.
Dong Huang quickly asked: "Uncle, what's the good news?"
"Huangfu Song is willing to go to Beijing alone, so he has nothing to worry about behind the scenes!"
As early as the day after Dong Min was killed, Li Ru quickly thought of a remedy after searching for the murderer to no avail.
Dong Min is dead, the people in Luoyang City are in a state of confusion, and the high-ranking families who had been suppressed before are beginning to make moves again.
Li Ru understood that if he wanted them to be obedient at this time, he could only take a strong dose of medicine.
As a result, Li Ru raised the butcher's knife without hesitation.
All officials who had previously expressed their dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo in public were targeted by Li Ru, imprisoned for seducing people, and then beheaded together. Dozens of officials were implicated!
Although the killing temporarily suppressed the restless people's hearts, it was not a long-term solution.
So Li Ru immediately issued an edict to Huangfu Song who was stationed in Fufeng County, worshiping him as Sikong and asking him to enter Luo alone.
It was not until two days ago that Huangfu Song finally got a reply: he was willing to follow the imperial edict and come to Beijing.
Li Ru quickly sent someone to deliver the news, and asked in the letter when Dong Zhuo would return to the court.
Worried that Dong Zhuo would not leave without fighting, Li Ru once again explained the stakes in the letter.
In his opinion, today's Guandong princes are only suffering from scabies. They seem to be powerful, but they are actually vulnerable. As long as Dong Zhuo turns his retreat into advance and withdraws from the land of Guandong, these so-called princes will attack each other.
Dong Zhuo, who retreated to Chang'an, could just watch the changes and reap the benefits.
In a word, the top priority is to return to the court and start moving the capital, not to fight with the princes.
With this good news and the fact that he was unable to defeat Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo made a decision on the spot.
"Ahuang, go and pass on my general order to lead the class tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Dong Huang's eyes suddenly widened.
"Uncle... please forgive my nephew for speaking frankly. You ordered the troops to be dispatched a few days ago. Yesterday you had to fight the enemy again, and today you have to dispatch troops again... If you change the order day by day, I'm afraid the army will..."
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "One moment, another moment. The bandits from Guandong are nothing to worry about. Returning to the capital and moving the capital is a big deal. But Ahuang, you are right. Send my order to the general. After returning to Luoyang, the whole army will be under heavy attack." reward!"
"As you command!"
Dong Huang clasped his fists and turned around.
Even though he was about to regroup, Dong Zhuo did not relax his vigilance. In order to prevent the coalition forces from attacking at night, he even sent an additional 5,000 people to patrol at night.
It's just that... he shouldn't have passed on the class teacher's order in advance.
After all the soldiers in the army knew that they were about to regroup, they immediately lost their will to fight and were busy packing their bags. Who had the heart to go on patrol at night?
At this moment, Zhang Liao led his army to kill.
In the darkness, Zhang Liao looked at the Xiliang Army camp not far away, turned to Guo Jia and asked, "Meritor, shall we attack now?"
Originally, Liu Bei did not want Xun You and Guo Jia to fight in person, but they both insisted on going with the army. Only by personally attending the battlefield could they control the rhythm to the most perfect level.
After all, it was a debut show, and the two did not want to fail.
In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to agree that the two of them would accompany the army to fight.
"No rush, just wait a little longer."
Hearing Zhang Liao's question, Guo Jia shook his head and stared at the camp not far away.
From Guo Jia's many years of staying up late and drinking, he certainly knows that the second half of the night is when people are most tired, so there is no need to worry since it is just after midnight.
When Zhang Liao heard what Guo Jia said, he nodded and led his army to hibernate in the darkness.
Time passed quickly, and after another hour or so, Guo Jia, who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly opened his eyes.
"General Zhang, it's time!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liao looked serious and said, "Can we attack now?"
"That's right." Guo Jia nodded heavily and said, "At this time, the enemy soldiers are tired, which is an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack. If you attack at this time, you will definitely be unfavorable. But general, please remember that our purpose is to lure the snake out of its hole, and we must not be reluctant to fight. !”
"clear."
Zhang Liao nodded and immediately got on his horse.
Seeing this, the soldiers under his command slowly formed a charging formation, and only waited for Zhang Liao's order before charging out.
woo woo woo woo!
"Brothers, fight out with me!"
Accompanied by the desolate horn sound, the long knife in Zhang Liao's hand pointed forward sharply.
"kill!"
Five thousand soldiers charged at the same time, sweeping towards Dong Zhuo's camp like a black torrent.
…
At the same time, a few miles away from Dong Zhuo's camp, in the dense forest beside the official road, Zhang Fei was leading his soldiers to pour buckets of stone paint on the surrounding shrubs.
As the vanguard of Liu Bei's group, Zhang Fei immediately shouted his dissatisfaction after learning that Zhang Liao was leading the night attack.
Then, Zhang Heng gave him a task, a task that Zhang Fei loved to the core.
Little cubs of the Xiliang Army, watch your father burn you to ashes with a fire!
Zhang Fei looked at the bushes filled with stone paint water, with a silly smile on his face.
Outlaw Zhang San is back online again!
