Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 158 Schedule
Last night, Xun Yu learned about some mysterious wealthy businessmen. After a night of consideration, he finally gave up on going north to Jizhou, and chose to stay in Luoyang City to help Liu Yu.

Since he chose to stay, Xun Yu was considered to be half of Liu Yu's subordinates, so he was going to ask Liu Yu about the current battle situation early the next morning.

Because only by solving the Guo Si army as soon as possible, they can return to Luoyang to deal with the mysterious rich businessman.

At this time, Liu Yuzheng and Xu Huang were discussing together in the big tent how to guide the Baibo bandits to attack Guo Bang outside Yiyang City by surprise.

As soon as Xun Yu came to ask for an audience, he quickly invited him into the tent.

"Wen Ruo came at the right time. There is news from the front that Guo Si will attack Yiyang County tomorrow. I am discussing with Gongming how to set up an ambush there!"

Liu Yu has always believed that a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks about it, and only by listening and taking into account can he avoid loopholes, and Xun Yu is a highly resourceful counselor, so he really wants to hear the other party's thoughts.

Xun Yu came here to help, so after looking at the topographic map for a while, he expressed his thoughts.

Xun Yu said: "Before I heard from the Patriarch that King Zhongshan's plan was to use the Baibo bandits to ambush Guo Bang's army, but the small walls of Yiyang County are low and the surrounding area is mostly flat ground, I'm afraid this place is not suitable for ambushes." !"

Then Xun Yu also pointed out that the combat power of the Baibo bandits is limited. If it is not an excellent opportunity, even if they can successfully ambush, they may not be able to cause enough damage to Guo Si's army.

Once the ambush fails, not only will the Baibo thief lose their fighting spirit to resist, but Guo Si's army will also be more cautious, and it will be even more difficult to set up an ambush later.

Xu Huang was overwhelmed with admiration for this insight, because Xu Huang only thought of this problem after studying it all morning, and Xun Yu only took a moment to see what was wrong.

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded in agreement. Xindao is indeed a famous counselor in history, and he is considerate when considering things. "I see Wen as if I have wisdom pearls in my hands, so please don't hesitate to teach me!"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "From the map, Guo Si is planning to use Yiyang as a breakthrough point, and then attack Strider Chi, Shan County, Hu County, and finally Hongnong."

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu made marks on the map one by one, and Liu Yu nodded again after hearing this, because Xun Yu's inference was completely consistent with his previous thoughts, so he motioned him to continue talking.

Xun Yu continued: "I feel that we can avoid the front first, give up the area from Yiyang to Hu County, and only stick to the big city of Hongnong, and wait until Guo Si's army approaches the city, then let the Baibo soldiers send elites to go around to the rear to cut off the food road. , come to help out..."

"...At this point, Guo Si's army can only divide our troops before and after the enemy, and we can pretend to be Baibo soldiers and go south to divide and destroy them!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang immediately clapped his hands and applauded, "Wonderful, this plan is very clever! Mr. Wen Ruo is really talented!"

Xun Yu nodded politely to Xu Huang, but found that Liu Yu had a dignified expression, as if he didn't agree with his plan too much.

In fact, Liu Yu had thought of Xun Yu's strategy a long time ago, but he was worried that if the Baibo thieves continued to abandon the city, they might not wait until Guo Bang's army attacked Hongnong, and those thieves would collapse early because they could not withstand the pressure. .

Knowing why Liu Yu was worried, Xun Yu proposed to inform the Baibo bandits of the situation of the Xin'an garrison in advance, letting them know that they are not fighting alone.

After listening, Liu Yu became silent again. Xun Yu's whole plan didn't seem to have any problems. Once Guo Si was surrounded by three sides, he would definitely be defeated. However, only Guo Si's side was defeated, and Liu Yu was not satisfied.

Seeing that Liu Yu still disagreed, Xun Yu frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with my strategy?"

Xu Huang also felt strange, thinking that Xun Yu's plan was rigorous and subtle, so why is King Zhongshan dissatisfied?
I saw Liu Yu shook his head with a smile, and said: "Wen Ruo's plan is flawless. As long as Guo Bang is greedy and aggressive, he will be defeated. If he just deals with Guo Bang's army, there is nothing wrong with it! But in this way, the Baibo thief The loss will be much smaller, and the people in Hongnong will probably continue to live under the squeeze and exploitation of the white wave thieves!"

Liu Yu in Mengjin County saw what is called "locusts pass by and no grass grows". The 10,000+ bandit soldiers only know how to plunder. If this group of white wave bandits are not eliminated, sooner or later, more counties will be destroyed.

So Liu Yu thought that since Guo Si's army came, they should be allowed to play a good role, and it would not be too late to defeat them after the last value was squeezed out.

Xun Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, he was also a man of extraordinary resourcefulness and understood Liu Yu's deep meaning at a glance.

"I didn't think carefully. I only wanted to deal with Guo Si's army, but I forgot that the Baibo thief is also an enemy and not a friend!" Xun Yu didn't expect Liu Yu to be so thoughtful, especially seeing his expression of worry for the people made Xun Yu Yu felt admiration in his heart.

At this time, Xu Huang also understood that Liu Yu wanted to let Guo Si's army and the Baibo bandits suffer a lose-lose first, and then come out to reap the battle.

However, the combat power of the Baibo bandits is too weak. Even if they are all arranged near Yiyang County, they may not be able to ambush successfully. If the ambush fails, they may be killed by Guo Bang, which will completely collapse.

Therefore, it is impossible to defeat Guo Si's army in an ambush.

Xun Yu also thought so, but seeing Liu Yu's full confidence, he felt that he must have a better way, so he humbly asked Liu Yu for advice.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Actually, I have more than one ambush plan!"

After hearing this, Xun Yu and Xu Huang once again showed puzzled expressions. The ambush battle is to win by surprise. It is already a luxury for the Baibo thief to successfully complete an ambush. Arrange more ambush plans!

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two, Liu Yu didn't explain too much, but asked with a smile: "I wonder if the two of you have heard the truth of 'zero cut and no pain'?"

Zero cut meat does not hurt, that is to say, the same loss is not cashed out at one time, but divided into multiple small losses, which are cashed out one by one.

But does this have anything to do with the ambush plan?

……

On the same day, Liu Yu formulated an ambush plan and asked Qin Fu to send it to Mengxin on a fast horse.

Before leaving, Liu Yu confessed not to disclose the affairs of Xin'an County for the time being. Qin Fu thought that Zou Huimin and Wang Han were still in Liu Yu's hands, so he had to swear not to disclose it.

Xin'an County is not far from Hongnong County. After Qin Fu arrived, he quickly handed over the letter with the ambush plan to his foster father.

Meng Xin was shocked after reading it. Just when he didn't know whether to believe Liu Yu's plan, Qin Fu took out another token.

So without any hesitation, Meng Xin set fire to the letter and went to the Marshal's Mansion to report the situation.

"Report to Marshal Guo, Guo Si is going to attack Yiyang County tomorrow, I hope to make a plan early!"

At this time, Guo Taizheng and Li Le were drinking while watching the dancing girls. When they heard that Guo Si was about to attack Yiyang, his eyebrows jumped in shock.

Knowing that Meng Xin had internal support in the court, Mrs. Guo and Li Le no longer doubted the accuracy of the news.

After dismissing the dancing girls, the two dragged Meng Xin to sit around the map.
