    ———————————— Guo Jiadao: “After the fall of Kaifeng City, General Zilong led his army to retreat to Zhongmou. Unexpectedly, Wei General Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to pursue them all the way, almost following the Wushuang Iron Cavalry and then invaded Zhongmou.  City, once again fought with the Wushuang Cavalry under Zhao Yun's tent. After a series of fierce battles, the Wushuang Cavalry suffered heavy casualties. If General Zilong had not been so brave and led his troops to fight hard and repel Wei general Cao Chun, the Wushuang Cavalry would have suffered.  After the war, Zhongmu County fell again after Kaifeng City. General Zilong led the remaining troops to rush out of the city and arrived in Luoyang two hours ago. According to the news from the Luoyang camp, after two days and two nights.  After a fierce battle, only more than 4,000 Wushuang cavalry returned to Luoyang alive. Ten pavilions of men and horses destroyed nine pavilions, and almost the entire army was wiped out. In addition, General Zilong fell into a coma after returning to the city, with more than ten wounds all over his body.  The longest wound is on the back, which is more than a foot long and can be seen deep in the bone." After speaking, Guo Jia felt very heavy. He was worried about Zhao Yun's injury and deeply regretted the huge casualties of the Wushuang Cavalry.  The unparalleled cavalry under Zhao Yun is a powerful force that has experienced countless battles. It is also one of the cavalry battalions founded by Li Li. Its prototype is the warriors of various tribes led by Dian Wuxia.  With Dian Wuxia withdrawing from the army, the Wushuang Cavalry was reorganized, and Zhao Yun was the first general to lead the army. He has led the army for ten years so far.  This cavalry battalion fought from the Western Regions to Liaodong, and was able to preserve its organization in the disastrous defeat in Jizhou. Then it moved to Yizhou and followed Zhuge Liang in his western expedition to the Southern Barbarians. It can be called a true army that has fought a hundred battles.  Who would have thought that such an elite team of battle-hardened warriors would have overcome countless hardships and obstacles and come to this day through ups and downs.  In the end, it was destroyed by Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry.  Thirty thousand war cavalry were wiped out in one battle, which can be said to be a crippling injury.  The elite are all gone, even if the troops are replenished and reorganized.  I'm afraid it will be difficult to regain the previous strong combat power.  Therefore, the unparalleled cavalry has lost its former glory, and I am afraid it will no longer be able to sustain the name of "unparalleled".  Perhaps because of his heavy heart, Guo Jia was silent for a moment and then added: "However, Cao Jun also paid a huge price for this. Leaving aside the nearly 50,000 casualties in the camp, Cao Jia almost paid a huge price in pursuit of the Wushuang Iron Cavalry.  The 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun suffered nearly half of their casualties. The deputy general Cao Yu was killed by General Zilong, and even Cao Chun himself was wounded by two arrows.  In addition, Zhu Ling's 20,000 troops who attacked Kaifeng City also suffered casualties. Both Zhu Ling and Sui Gu were injured in the battle, and they were also seriously injured. Therefore, the Wushuang Iron Cavalry suffered three casualties.  Cao Ren's army was severely damaged at the cost of ten thousand people, causing Cao Ren's army to lose twice as many troops as Wushuang's cavalry. At present, more than half of Cao Ren's army of more than 100,000 were casualties and were temporarily stationed in Zhongmou City to rest. Without follow-up reinforcements, Cao Ren would not dare to lead the army.  The army is heading south. We are currently facing a dilemma." After listening to the battle report relayed by Guo Jia, there was silence in the pavilion, except for the heavy breathing of Li Ru and Zhuge Liang, there was no other sound.  Li Li looked up at the cemetery directly opposite the pavilion with an expressionless face.  Slowly moving from the cemetery in the north to the General Mausoleum in the west, my eyes were fixed on the mausoleum under construction halfway up the mountain.  After a long while, he murmured quietly: "A mausoleum is being built in the general's mausoleum in the west. In a few days, several old brothers who followed me from Wuwei County to conquer the world will live in it. They will sleep here forever. Time flies, inadvertently  More than ten years have passed. I am still in my thirties, but I often feel nostalgic for the brothers who lived and died together, the days when we drank and chatted together, and even missed the old friends who are now lying in the mausoleum."  Zhuge Liang comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. Since ancient times, civil servants have been admonishing soldiers to fight to the death. Everyone is destined to die. As long as you can do what you like when you are alive, you will have no regrets even if you die. What's more, this time Sili  In the battle, His Majesty did not strictly order the generals to fight to the death. Instead, he told the generals in advance that if they can fight, they can fight. If they can't, they can return to Luoyang. Therefore, Your Majesty has done your best to benevolent and righteous, but we have to deal with this situation in advance.  It was caused by the underestimation of the war. If there is any accountability, it is the ministers who have nothing to do with it." Li Li shook his head slightly and sighed in a low voice: "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.  He is the supreme commander of the entire army and should be responsible for the war. Therefore, I cannot be blamed for the deaths of more than ten generals, including Tiezhen, Huan Yi, and Xia Houlan." At this point, Li Li paused and then his tone changed.  , said solemnly: "However, wars always kill people. If the earthen jar is not broken near the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. The casualties of our generals in this battle of Sili are the highest in all previous battles. This war is still far away.  It is far from over, it is just the beginning. The Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty have joined forces to attack the Western Jin Dynasty. They have a certain advantage at the moment. Our army has been defeated one after another, but this is only a temporary victory. It is still unclear who will win next. "  After a pause, Li Li looked at Li Ru and asked, "Has the news that Generals Tiezhu and Huan Yi died in battle ever been passed on?"?The whole army?  " Li Ru didn't know why Li Li suddenly mentioned this matter, and immediately said softly with a troubled face: "Your Majesty, I am worried that the two generals Huan Fei and Yinzhu will delay the war, so I haven't informed them yet.  The other generals already knew.  " After hearing this, Li Li was not surprised at all, and said in a deep voice: "In a few days, the bodies of Tiezhu and others will be brought back. By then, they can't hide it no matter what.  Therefore, there is no need to hide it from them, tell them truthfully, otherwise they will definitely put this account on your head and have random thoughts again.  " "Promise, I will obey your orders.  "Li Ru respectfully responded with deep approval. Li Li nodded slightly, then put the matter aside, and said solemnly: "This time we have decided on a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and lure Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Cao Cao of Jizhou to take the lead, in order not to leave any loopholes.  , to avoid suspicion between the two countries, and to avoid today's continuous defeats, and paid a huge price for this.  Now that luring the snake out of its hole has been half successful, the next step is the top priority. However, disastrous defeats like Deng County and Kaifeng City cannot happen again. Otherwise, instead of luring the snake out of its hole, we will shoot ourselves in the foot and burn ourselves.  I wonder what the three of you can do about this?  " Guo Jia then replied: "Since the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, our Western Jin Dynasty has been the leader. The Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty have both been strong. Neither of them can confront our Western Jin Dynasty head-on with their strength alone. However, once they cannot retreat, our Western Jin Dynasty will  Even if there are millions of strong soldiers, they can't stop them.  If I compare the Western Jin Dynasty to an elephant, then Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty is a tiger. Although Liu Biao of the Southern Han Dynasty has the strength of a tiger, he does not have the courage and courage of a tiger, so he can only be regarded as an old wolf king.  If the tiger and the wolf can't shrink out, the elephant can't do anything to them. Therefore, if you want to eliminate them, you must first lure them out. This is the fundamental reason why we made a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.  But once tigers and wolves join forces to attack, the elephant cannot resist it and is in danger of being seriously injured or capsized at any time, or even life-threatening.  Therefore, the current plan is to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty must be severely damaged so that he does not dare to act rashly. After restraining the tiger, we can free our hands to kill the hungry wolf of the Southern Han Dynasty with all our strength.  "Guo Jia broke through the mystery with one word, pointing out that luring the snake out of the hole is only the first step, and the second step is to drive the tiger out of the hole. After finishing his words, Zhuge Liang said respectfully: "The plan to lure the snake out of the hole is only half done. If the two countries withdraw their troops at this time,  , everything we have done before will be in vain and all our efforts will be in vain.  At the same time, if the tiger and the wolf get together after luring the snake out of the hole, if they don't act properly, our Western Jin Dynasty will also suffer backlash and will most likely be defeated by their joint efforts.  Therefore, now is the critical moment that determines victory or defeat, and it is also the watershed that determines whether the plan to lure the snake out of the hole can succeed. This forces us to be cautious in every step we take, neither light nor heavy, and we must grasp the right measure.  If the counterattack is too light, it will inevitably boost the morale of the two countries, making them more unscrupulous and open and close, and it is very likely that they will complete the alliance and successfully join forces; if the counterattack is too hard, it will hurt them, and it may prompt them to explore the  The snake head that came out retracted again.  Therefore, the situation we are facing now is very serious. We must avoid too much loss for ourselves, and we must not let them retreat in spite of difficulties. We must let them see the hope of success, thereby luring them step by step into the network we have already prepared.  In the game, he drives away the tiger and swallows the wolf, changing the situation of the world in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the fight against the deer in the world in the near future.  "These words revealed that Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia were the initiators of the strategy of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves. They were chess players. At this time, the chess game had already begun and the situation was unclear. How the Western Jin Dynasty launched a counterattack was the key step that determined success or failure.  When Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were talking, Li Li's face was very calm, so calm that there was no emotion. If Guo Jia and Kong Ming were chess players, then he was the boss (the boss behind the game) who was the first to drive away tigers and devour wolves.  It was he who proposed the comprehensive layout specifically for the Southern Han Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although Li Li was saddened by the death of Tie Zhen, Xia Houlan and others on the battlefield, it was a battlefield that was used as a battlefield all year round.  A veteran general and the supreme commander of the army, he has seen too many life and death situations, and has long been accustomed to a life of licking blood. Therefore, the death of his generals in battle cannot affect his emotions, nor can it affect his decision-making.  Li Li said calmly: "Perhaps you two are thinking too much. It is best to accomplish all your efforts in one battle, but you cannot deliberately pursue perfection in everything.  Nothing is perfect in this world, and striving for perfection often means worrying too much, looking forward and backward, and worrying about gains and losses. It should be noted that the most taboo thing for a military strategist is to be decisive and constantly suffer chaos.  Nowadays, luring the snake out of its hole has been half successful. It is enough to lure the Southern Han and Northern Wei to dispatch nearly 300,000 troops.  If we can kill these 300,000 troops in one fell swoop, the plan to drive out tigers and devour wolves will be more than half successful. Then we can send our troops south to capture Jingxiang. This is the entire plan to drive out tigers and devour wolves.  ” ————To be continued——————————————(To be continued please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
