Chapter 390

Liu Ye looked dignified: "yes, more than 30000 prisoners are strong men. Once our army is faced with a disadvantage, they turn against the enemy and do great harm. Let Guan Hai lead a thousand cavalry to escort them back."

Looking at the map, Jia Xu said, "Xuhe's army is stationed in Puyang, Yanzhou's administrative office. It's no more than three days' journey away from suanzao. Under his indignation, Xu he is likely to order the army to speed up, that is to say, our army will have a decisive battle with Xuhe in a few days."

"Judging from the strength of Sima Ji, Xu he's troops should at least exceed 100000. Our army is only 24000. The gap between our troops and the enemy should be more than four times, and it is likely to be far more than that."

"From the perspective of Xu, our army must not deal with the enemy in the field as it did against Sima fear, but to defend the city, consume the enemy's spirit, and then wait for the opportunity to go out to battle." Jia Xu's right way.

Liu Ye nodded and agreed with Jia Xu's strategy, but frowned: "Wenhe, Gongda made a deal with me before he left. He had already taken the next year's harvest of our army as a guarantee and borrowed food from the rich families in Guanzhong as a military force. However, it can support three months at a full scale. Now it has been half a month. In other words, if our army can't solve Xu He within two and a half months, it will have to wait until next year. "

Jia Xu said, without saying a word, just staring at the map and thinking hard.

Millions of people, 100000 troops...

"yes

Suddenly, Jia Xu called out excitedly and laughed.

Liu Ye's face changed: "Wenhe, what's the best plan? Come quickly."

Jia Xu said with a smile, "general, what do you think is Xu he's biggest weakness?"

Liu Ye frowns, thinking, Xu he swept the Central Plains, known as a million people, strong forces. Moreover, he has broken numerous cities in Yanzhou, and has obtained weapons and armor from the arsenals of various cities in Yanzhou. The disadvantage of incomplete equipment has also been solved. Moreover, he comes in a fierce manner with high morale...

all of a sudden, Liu Ye has a flash of light in his mind, as if he has thought of something.

"Food and grass?"

Jia Xu affirmed: "yes, our army's weakness lies in grain and grass, and so does Xu he's army."

"Our army is short of food and grass, so we have to fight and make a quick decision. Although Xu Hejun has taken the grain and grass from all over Yanzhou as his own, the food and grass consumed by the 100000 army every day is astronomical."

Jia Xu's eyebrows rose and his eyes were bright: "Xuhe's headquarters must have a lot of grain and grass supply every day. There must be a place for grain and forage transportation in Yanzhou. If our army can analyze the transportation place of the enemy's army's grain and grass, and send surprise troops to attack and burn the enemy's food and grass, Xuhe's army can be said to have collapsed without fighting!"

Liu Ye nodded, but he said, "but our army does not know where the enemy's grain and forage transportation is located, and there must be heavy troops to guard it."

Jia Xu was a secret smile: "general, our army has defeated 50000 yellow turban thieves today. As long as we change our faces, can the enemy still be vigilant?"

Liu Ye has some understanding: "you mean, send a strange soldier to put on the yellow scarf thief's clothing, after finding the enemy's food and grass, display the surprise attack, can receive the magic skill."

"Yes, Zhou Shen is the general of the yellow scarf thief. You can ask him first. Even if Zhou Shen doesn't know, he can lead the way."

Liu Ye hesitated: "if you are careful this week, it will be dangerous to lead a surprise attack on the granary of the Yellow turban thief."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "it's OK. Zhou Shen has a younger brother named Zhou Chao. Someone has ordered him to be taken into custody."

"Good!"

Liu Ye agreed to come down and said, "who do you think is most suitable to lead the army to look for the food and grass of the Yellow turban thief?"

"It's the most important thing for a leader to burn food. You can't go, general. The general is the soul of the three armies. Moreover, if the general is not in the sour jujube city, I'm afraid Xu he will be suspicious."

"However, if the war goes deep into the enemy's rear, we must send a brave and meticulous general with enough prestige to convince the public and be able to look for supplies of food and grass behind the enemy. At present, only Wenze and Youyi are under the command of the general, who can shoulder this heavy responsibility. "

Liu Ye said: "well, Wen is mature and prudent, but he is not smart enough to change. However, he is righteous, intelligent and brave, and can take this responsibility. In this case, he ordered Yu Yi to lead two thousand soldiers and horses, dressed up as yellow turban thieves, and took Zhou Shen to the enemy's rear. "

Jia Xu added: "in addition, horses are scarce among the Yellow turban thieves, and although Xiliang's iron cavalry is brave, it's useless to defend the city. It's better to let Ma Chao and pound lead the Xiliang iron cavalry out of the city, and prepare food and grass at a dangerous place outside the city. On the one hand, he ordered Xiliang iron cavalry to attack the enemy from the side when the enemy attacked the city, so as to relieve the pressure on our army to defend the city, We can also allow the two generals to seize the enemy's supplies and determine where they come from. "

"Well, summon them in."

After a while, Zhang jaw, Ma Chao and pound walked into the hall in full clothes.

"I don't know why the general summoned me at night."

Liu Ye said: "Ma Chao, pound, and you led 3000 iron cavalry respectively. They carried enough grain and grass out of the city for two months in a night, and chose a dangerous place."

Ma Chao was stunned: "general, why?"Liu Ye explained, "when Xu He leads the army, the iron horse will not play a very important role in the city. You two will wait for an opportunity to intercept the enemy's food and grass. When in danger, you can lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's formation."

"No!"

Zhang jaw is a way: "general, how about me?"

"Yi, your task is the most important." Liu Ye said slowly: "Xu and 100000 troops consume a lot of food and grass every day. You lead two thousand iron cavalry and take the enemy general Zhou Shen to look for the opportunity to find the enemy's grain and forage transportation place."

Zhang jaw suddenly understood: "general's meaning is, a certain rate of army burning grain?"

Liu Ye nodded: "well, once Mengqi and Lingming intercept the enemy's grain transport troops, they can wait for the opportunity to ask and quickly pass it on to Yu Yi. If you can't find the enemy's food and fodder, you just need to go deep behind the enemy and harass the enemy. "

Zhang jaw "pa" clasping fist, positive color way: "general rest assured, jaw certainly will do one's best."

Liu Ye is pleased to smile: "good, all go down."

The three men of Zhang jaw walked out of the hall, and Jia Xu said to Liu Ye: "general, in this way, there are only 16000 soldiers left in the city. When the time comes, we will have to face an enemy nearly ten times as large. We are afraid it will be a bitter battle."

Liu Ye laughs: "it's OK. At the beginning, when a certain army was in changshe, there were only a thousand troops under his command, and there were 100000 troops in BOCAI's headquarters. Didn't you still win?"

Jia Xu bowed his head and laughed, and said, "although the war is coming, the general still mobilized the soldiers and the people in the city as soon as possible to repair the wall of sour jujube as soon as possible, and cut down trees to make arrows and rolling wood, which also made Xu he's army lack of equipment to attack the city."
