It's true that Guo Jia is an alcoholic, but this wine is the elixir that refreshes his mind and makes him full of clever ideas.
"Fengxiao, don't show off. If you have any strategies, tell me quickly." Yuan Fang urged.
"Yes, hurry up and say it." Zhuge Liang shook Guo Jia's arm and urged him eagerly.
Guo Jia then stood up, dusted off the wine on his body, moved to the map, pointed at the map and explained his plan in an awkward manner.
The generals became more and more happy as they listened, and their dormant fighting spirit began to burn up.
Yuan Fang's eyes also showed joy. After listening to his plan, he slapped the table and said: "Very good, let's do it like this!"
On the same day, Yuan Fang adopted Guo Jia's strategy and ordered the generals to take action secretly.
The camps of the enemy and ours are only five miles apart. The Huainan Army's scouts and agents are always monitoring the movements of the Qingzhou Army, and soon report any abnormalities to the camp.
Two days later, the Huainan Army camped.
In the Chinese army¡¯s tent, Sun Ce had to meet with Yang Hong again after the unpleasantness the day before yesterday.
"It's rare that Bo Fu would invite us to discuss matters." Yang Hong, who was "invited", spoke in a sinister tone with hidden sarcasm.
"Yeah, I find it strange too." Ji Ling also had a thorn in his words.
Sun Ce was vaguely angry, and had the urge to kill them both on the spot, but he had to suppress it.
Looking at the two of them coldly, Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "My lord has ordered the three of me to lead the army together. There is an important military situation and it is urgent. Of course I have to discuss it with you two. If you are not interested, you can leave." That is, as for what happens, the responsibility lies with you two. "
Yang Hong and Yang Hong saw that Sun Ce was serious. When it came to the issue of responsibility, the two had no choice but to put down their strange moods and reluctantly asked Sun Ce what the urgent military situation was.
Sun Ce then said: "Recently, my scouts deployed on the north bank have reported that enemy troops frequently pass between the two sides of the bank by boats and rafts at night. So I suspect that Yuan Fang must be plotting something."
"What's so strange about the boats and rafts coming and going? Maybe they're transporting grain and grass. Yuan Fang's little thief has an army of tens of thousands, so it's impossible for him to not eat or drink, Bo Fu. I think you're being suspicious." Ji Ling said disapprovingly.
"Am I suspicious?"
Sun Ce snorted coldly and asked: "If Yuan Fangyu was just transporting grain and grass, why didn't he choose to do it during the day and sneak around at night? General Ji, do you really not feel suspicious at all?"
Ji Ling is not an ordinary person. Sun Ce asked this question, and after thinking about it seriously, he immediately became alert.
"Bo Fu, what do you think the little thief Yuan Fang has up to?" Ji Ling said.
"It's very simple. I think he is secretly transporting troops to the north bank." Sun Ce said with certainty.
Transporting troops to the north bank?
The two men looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Yang Hong wondered: "Why did Yuan Fang want to transport troops to the north bank? Could it be that he wanted to withdraw his troops?"
"He's not trying to withdraw his troops."
Sun Ce smashed his fist on the map where Xutai was, and said in a deep voice: "He wants to bypass our camp from the north bank and directly attack Xutai City!"
A sneak attack on Xutai?
Yang Hong and Ji Ling rushed to the map, scanning the map with surprised eyes. Their thoughts were racing, and the more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. Suddenly they looked at each other and finally realized something.
It¡¯s just, in a blink of an eye. Yang Hong's surprised expression returned to calmness.
Yang Hong sneered, and said slowly: "I have already anticipated the little thief's trick, Sun Bofu. Please send 5,000 troops and horses back to Xutai City to aid."
Ji Ling became anxious on the spot, thinking about returning to Xutai's aid. This was a great achievement. How could Yang Hong easily let Sun Ce go and stand up, but ignore him.
Seeing that Sun Ce had convinced them both, he breathed a sigh of relief. He himself also wanted to rescue Xutai City. Since Yang Hong invited him, he did not refuse and led an army of five thousand to leave the camp that day to rescue Xutai City.
As soon as Sun Ce left, Ji Ling said anxiously: "Yang Changshi, how come you let that boy Sun Ce take away the credit you have obtained so easily?"
"Rescuing Xutai is not an achievement. Defeating Yuan Fang's main force is the real great achievement. General Ji, do you want a small merit rather than a big one?" Yang Hong asked with a smile.
"Great merit? Small merit? Yang Changshi, what do you mean?" Ji Ling became increasingly confused.
Yang Hong then lowered his voice, secretly and proudly speaking out his strategy in a eloquent way.
Ji Ling realized this and couldn't help but look happy and laughed loudly: "So that's it. Yang Changshi is really good at knowing things. Okay, let that boy Sun Ce do some small meritorious deeds. I'll keep track of him."?Just take advantage of the situation to defeat Yuan Fang¡¯s main force and do a great service to the Lord, haha~~¡±
¡¡
Qingzhou Army Camp.
Thousands of Huainan troops were lined up outside the camp, shouting at the top of their voices and shouting wildly to keep fighting.
The extremely insulting shouts spread throughout the camp, causing the entire battalion of soldiers to gnash their teeth and wish they could rush out of the camp and tear the thousands of hateful enemies into pieces.
In the Chinese army's tent, Yuan Fang and Guo Jia were eating side dishes and drinking wine, thinking that the yelling and cursing outside was the barking of dogs.
"My lord, the enemies outside have been yelling and cursing for a whole half day. They are really abominable. General, please lead your troops out of the camp and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor." Ju entered the tent and asked for battle with a sense of loyalty.
Yuan Fang didn¡¯t take it seriously and simply asked: ¡°Zixin, let me ask you, who is stronger and who is weaker between us and the enemy in front of us?¡±
Ju Yi was startled, but he didn't expect Yuan Fang to suddenly ask about this irrelevant matter.
After thinking about it, Ju Yi said: "The enemy army in front of us is less than 20,000, and our army has 25,000, and we were victorious for a while before. Of course, our army is stronger."
"Since our army is strong, why is it that the weak enemy army is eager to challenge Yuan Shu's army before it arrives? Zi Xin, don't you find it strange?" Yuan Fang asked meaningfully again.
Ju Yi's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He carefully considered Yuan Fang's reminder, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"My lord, could it be that Ji Ling and the others have fallen into our army's plan and thought that we were secretly transporting troops to the north bank in order to steal Xutai, so they deliberately sent troops to challenge me and wanted to test the strength of my camp?" Ju Yi said excitedly.
Yuan Fang smiled and said nothing.
Guo Jia smiled again and said: "That's what my lord meant. Now that it's getting late, I guess the enemies outside the camp who are calling for war have already figured out what they want and should be about to withdraw."
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, the scouts outside the tent rushed to report that thousands of Huainan troops who were shouting for battle outside had evacuated in a hurry.
Ju Yi¡¯s expression changed, and he was surprised by Guo Jia¡¯s accuracy of calculation, and even more surprised by Yuan Fang¡¯s insight.
Guo Jia looked at Yuan Fang and said with a smile: "I was originally afraid that Ji Ling and the others would not be fooled. Now that they have come to challenge us, they have taken the initiative to tell us that we have been fooled. Tonight, it is time to use troops."
Drink all the wine in one drink.
Bang!
Yuan Fang slammed the wine bottle on the table, murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and said sternly: "Send the order, the whole army is assembled, tonight I will defeat the enemy camp in one fell swoop!"
"No!" Ju Yi responded with enthusiasm, his blood boiling.
After the order was passed, the pent-up fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies was immediately awakened, and their high-spirited fighting spirit quickly spread throughout the camp like a raging fire.
At night, more than 20,000 soldiers had a good meal, were fully armed, and had weapons in hand, ready to be dispatched at any time.
Unconsciously it was already late at night.
Wearing silver armor and carrying a skull-crushing stick, Yuan Fang appeared at the camp gate as a majestic young man.
Generals Ju Yi, Tai Shi Ci, and Gao Shun all led their troops and gathered at the camp gate one after another. They only waited for Yuan Fang's order before they killed the generals and went straight to the Huainan camp five miles away.
Guo Jia's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain has caused the enemy troops to divide their troops to rescue Xutai. The enemy camp in front of them only has more than 10,000 troops at most.
Tonight, Yuan Fang will take advantage of the enemy's division of troops, mobilize 25,000 men, use a night attack to smash Yuan Shu's vanguard army, and then take advantage of the opportunity to seize the important town of Xutai.
Seeing that all the soldiers had gathered, Yuan Fang planned to say a few words of encouragement and boost morale, and then lead his troops out.
Just a second before Yuan Fang was about to open his mouth, there was a sudden movement outside the camp.
In the dark night, there were sudden shouts of killing, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, suddenly rushing towards them.
The whole battalion was shocked.
Yuan Fang was also quite surprised. He quickly opened his telescope and explored outside the camp.
Although the telescope did not have the ability to see at night, relying on the ability to magnify targets, Yuan Fang could still barely see clearly the situation within twenty or thirty steps outside the camp gate under the weak firelight of the camp.
In the field of vision, hundreds of Huainan troops were seen charging towards the camp in excitement. The general's flag clearly bore the word "Ji".
It¡¯s Ji Ling, coming to attack the camp!
"This is really an unexpected surprise" Yuan Fang smiled.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the empty enemy camp to lead his troops to attack the Huainan Army camp, but he did not expect that Ji Ling actually wanted to take advantage of the "emptiness" of his camp to also attack the camp.
"Master, the enemy has come to our door. What should we do?" Zhuge Liang also responded.Then, he shouted in surprise.
"You said it was delivered to your door, so why should I say it?"
Yuan Fang sneered, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, pointed his skull-crushing stick, and shouted: "Open the camp gate, bring out the entire army, and kill all the invading enemies without leaving a trace -"
The order was passed, and the blood of the soldiers of the three armies was boiling.
In the blink of an eye, the gates of all the camps opened wide, and generals Taishi Ci and Gao Shun commanded their own troops and horses, pouring out of the camp like a tide and rushing towards the oncoming enemy troops.
Yuan Fang rode out on horseback, carrying a skull-crushing stick, and like a white lightning, he rushed out from the central gate first.
What they collided with were two stunned enemy soldiers. Before they had time to react, Yuan Fang was like an electric shock. He swiped the skull-crushing stick in his hand and smashed two heads.
The army behind them, like tigers and wolves coming out of their cages, pounced on the lamb that had fallen into a trap.
In the darkness of the night, Ji Ling was still filled with murderous intent, and with the intention of making meritorious deeds, he scolded his soldiers and charged towards the "empty" Qingzhou military camp.
When he was only ten steps away from the camp gate, he was shocked to see the enemy camp open wide, and countless Qingzhou soldiers poured out like a tide to kill the soldiers and horses attacking his camp.
"What's going on? Didn't Yang Hong say that the enemy camp is empty? How come so many soldiers and horses suddenly appeared?"
Looking at the Qingzhou soldiers rolling in, Ji Ling was stunned with shock.
