Chapter 137 The Yuan girl's coup
"The military commander, Kuragaki Castle is high, and it is difficult to overcome it. Strong attack is not a solution. Our army suffered too many casualties. In the humble opinion, we should still use wisdom as the best!"
"Take the wit? How to get the wit? Liu Shusun was born in a famous Jiangdong family. Seeing that he was dealing with it today, he dispatched troops and generals, all of whom secretly combined the military strategy. His troops were the main force of the Jingzhou Army, and there were even 100,000 stones of food and grass in the city. Unless he forced his way through the city, he thought there was no other way!"
"You are too ambitious to others! What are you afraid of merely Kuragaki town? Today, the boys climbed the city many times, but unfortunately they were not lucky enough to go down in one go. I want me to say, I might as well fight the whole army tomorrow, and fight again, and I will definitely win!"
"Small town? Ha, Kuragaya is the prefecture of Yuzhou. Mu joined the army. When you were the governor of Yuzhou, you will be stationed in this city. Let me tell you how many meters high the city of Kuragaya is, how many feet thick the walls are, the horse face, the enemy tower, and the corner tower, so that some people can understand whether it is difficult to attack!"
"Well, it's better to feint the North Gate tomorrow, but actually break into the West Gate..."
"I have figured out the arrangement of the north gate. If I change to the west gate, I have to try it out with my life. This is not advisable."
"That's right! I see that the North Gate and the West Gate are both closely guarded and have sufficient various weapons, especially the Yuanxiang bow and Wanjun crossbow are far better than our army. I can't break the North Gate today, and the West Gate tomorrow will be the same."
"If you say this, let's just surrender!"
"I want to surrender you, I would like to lead two hundred dead soldiers to cross the river while the black duck water, quietly reach the east gate, use the flying hook to climb the wall, and hit his grandfather's surprise!"
"I thought you had any clever plan. This was just a foolish move to fall into the trap! Even if the east gate was occupied, the waterways outside the city were weaving and muddy, and the subsequent troops could not keep up. You and the two hundred dead soldiers could only go without returning..."
Everyone was talking and arguing. Yuan Mulan seemed to be unwilling to care and said, "What about the suggestions for joining the army?"
Mu Fan sat next to him, listening to other people's arguments. Even though he was named just now, he had never participated. He listened to Yuan Mulan's question and looked up and replied: "Cangyuan is not worth worrying, but Xu You is concerned!"
Hearing the word Xu You, the tent was immediately quiet as if it was dead. Now, no one dared to underestimate the general of Chu, and he was all focused on his ears and wanted to hear Mu Fan's high opinions.
Although Mu Fan is Xu You's defeated general, he has followed Yuan Guang for many years and still has vision and insight.
"Xu You holds a strong soldier in his hand and will never sit by and watch us attack Cangyuan without any response. Once he divides his troops and cuts off my retreat, he will gather people to encircle him, and our army is frustrated at the city, it is afraid that something is wrong..."
Everyone was slightly anxious. It turned out that the plan discussed was to use the posture of a lion fighting against a rabbit to quickly conquer Cangyuan before Xu You sent troops to rescue him and seize a large amount of food and grass stored in the city. In this way, the army was stable and the advance and retreat were in their own hands. If Xu You's troops came out of Luoyang, they could fight against him; if Xu You couldn't retreat, they could slowly fight with him based on the Yuzhou half of the road from Huatai to Yongqiu.
It only took Xu You to conquer Cangyuan for one day. In the hearts of the Wei people, it should be enough for half a day to counterattack Cangyuan. Who would have thought that Cangyuan was so difficult to bite. All the previous plans seemed to have become ropes tied around his neck, and the rope was tied up by itself and then hung up his head.
"Xu You, Shu Zier, may not dare to leave Luoyang!"
The person who spoke was the founding county, Liang Yiwei, General Fenwu, who was born in the Balie clan of the Northern Wei clan and later changed to the Liang family. He had no strategy and relied on his ancestors to attack the title of the founding county. This time, he gave up his comfortable life in Pingcheng and took the initiative to go to war with the army, so he wanted to make some military achievements. He was promoted from General Fenwu, who was under the fourth rank, to become General Ningshuo or General Zhonglei, and then transferred to the inner palace to be a general of the inner capital, and follow the emperor all day long, at least to be familiar with his descendants, so as to find a way out for his descendants.
However, there are always people who are used to living in the past world and cannot see the changes in the new era. Especially the Wei people have had psychological advantages over the Chu people for many years, so Liang Yi silly felt that Xu You was shy about not moving in Luoyang, so he should be afraid and had no courage to lead the army to fight.
Mu Fan sneered: "The eldest son of the Jun family is similar to Xu Younian. Have you ever sent hundreds of thousands of troops to expedition thousands of miles, destroyed a country, occupied several states, and had advisers under his command like rain and good generals like clouds? If Xu You were a son, what would be your family? Is it better than pigs and dogs?"
"you!"
Although the Liang family is declining day by day, it is no better than before, but Liang Yiwei has a title, not ordinary fourth-rank generals. He was furious when he heard this. He pulled out his waist knife in front of Yuan Mulan and pointed at Mu Fan and said, "Insult my family, get out and die!"
Mu Fan was the most prosperous Mu family member of the dynasty. He smiled contemptuously and did not accept his words. Yuan Mulan's beautiful eyes shone and looked at Liang Yiwei with an understatement. Somehow, his heart suddenly thumped, his hands and feet became weak, his waist fell to the ground, and sweat was already seen on his forehead.
If he had a friend with him, he came out to plead with him. Liang Yiwei also knelt down and admitted his mistake. Yuan Mulan didn't take it for herself. Knowing that this generation was a fool, he was too scrupulous and fell down. He said, "What Mu Zongjun said must be guarded... Let's do this, I will give you two more days. If you can't capture Cangyuan, you can only temporarily retreat to the sash platform so that you will not be surrounded by the Chu army, and you will not be able to escape even if you can't escape!"
All the generals showed dissatisfaction and anger, but they did not dare to speak out for the time being due to the majesty of Yuan Mulanzhi's army.
Yuan Mulan said lightly: "I have to underestimate you, you can't even deal with Liu Shusun, let alone Xu You's troops are far above Liu Shusun. You can go back to Pingcheng as soon as possible and enjoy wealth!"
"Military Commander! I will issue a military order and defeat the city tomorrow, otherwise I will come and see you!"
"I'm willing to be a pioneer!"
"I want to do it too!"
Someone even said angrily: "Who dares to take a step back tomorrow? I will kill myself if I don't use the military commander's marching method!"
As the saying goes, the master was humiliated and the minister died. Yuan Mulan did not speak harshly at all. However, in the ears of the generals, it undoubtedly insulted their dignity as warriors of the Great Wei Dynasty. The crowd was full of emotions and asked for battle. He had the momentum of not breaking the Cangyuan and not surviving.
"Okay!" Yuan Mulan glanced at her eyes and said, "Since you are not afraid of death, let the southerners take a good look at your methods. I hope that in two days, I can celebrate the merits of you in the Guardian of Kuragaki City!"
All the generals raised their heads and their iron armor roared with a clang of iron, and their voices were like spring thunder, saying, "Oh!"
When he left, Mu Fan was left behind, Yuan Mulan smiled and said, "Do you still have any unfinished words to join the army?"
"It is impossible to capture Cangyuan in two days!" Mu Fan frowned and said, "Mu Lan, it is naturally a good thing for you to inspire your morale. But in order to please you, these people will fight to attack the city regardless of casualties tomorrow. Let's not talk about how many people die. If the city is still unsuccessful, there is probably no room for military morale to be restored..."
He and Yuan Mulan were under Yuan Guang's command for many years. The comrade's comrade's beauties are not comparable to others, so he can call him by his name and express these seemingly unpleasant advice.
Yuan Mulan was silent for a moment, waved her hand and asked her personal guard to leave, only two people left in the tent, and said, "Brother Mu, do you think, which is stronger, our army or the Chu army?"
"If Xu You had become the general, our army would have been better. However, this son is very good at training troops. As of now, even if he is still not as good as our army, it is still a bit different."
"Who is better, who can be stronger and weaker, based on the city to guard it, and encircle the city to overcome it?"
Mu Fan hesitated for a while and said in a deep voice: "The Chu army is strong!"
"I'll ask you again, if you talk about riding a horse with a hundred thousand, connecting the reins and bridles, driving the enemy thousands of miles, and destroying the strong and trapping the formation, who is stronger or weak?"
"This Chu people can't catch up with us..."
"That's it!" Yuan Mulan's beautiful and beautiful face was filled with the murderous intent of ice, snow and frost, and said, "If you win, you need to bully the weak with your strength! Xu You occupy Luoyang and wait for me to attack. It is precisely with Chu's strength and attacking me. If I want to win, I can only turn the world and lure him out of the city."
Mu Fan said inexplicably: "This is a decision we made since we headed south of Kawai. But because of this, if the attack on Cangyuan is too much casualties and the morale is lost, even if Xu You can't help but lead the troops to help, what can we do to show off against him? Why not siege the city and feint, preserve your strength, and wait for Xu You to fall into the trap?"
"Xu You is so cunning. There is also the secret office to control all directions. If he only pretended to attack Cangyuan, he would definitely see the clues and then defend Luoyang. He just waited for our military rations to retreat and then led the troops to chase him. What should he do then?"
After all, it was still a shortage of food. The lack of food caused the burden. Ten percent of the strength could only be used. If you want to get the grain from the enemy, you must defeat the city, but you have to hit a wall under Yongqiu and Cangyuan. Yuan Mulan used troops like this, which was a helpless move.
Mu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Then don't care about Cangyuan and use the alternative strategy. Go south and take the Yongqiu first, then attack Jingxiang, or Xu Huai, and wait for the Yangtze River to approach Jinling. The Chu State's government and the country are in turmoil. See how Xu You explains to Emperor Chu? Then, he used the Chu ministers who were bribed by the egret to alienate him. An Xiulin was furious and first withdrew Xu You's position as a general. We can win without a fight."
This is a ruthless plan, but it is too risky and too radical. Jing and Xiang are a hundred times stronger than Cangyuan, without 200,000 troops, and how can we knock on the gate for three to five years? Xu and Huai have gained the benefits of rivers. Without boats and navy, they are purely attacked by cavalry, and they are afraid that they will go but not return.
Yuan Mulan shook her head and said, "Cangyuan is four hundred miles away from Huatai. The grain road can still be preserved. If you go deeper south, the grain road will be broken. Once the city is not captured and there is no way to get grain, 50,000 healthy children will be buried in a foreign land. This proposal cannot be mentioned again!"
"Also, Luanniao once told me that An Xiulin's trust in Xu You was extraordinary, and the plan of disagreement was absolutely impossible. Instead, it would expose the secret son of the outer marquis who had finally been placed in Chu Ting, which would not be worth the loss!"
Mu Fan was silent!
He is a child of the Mu family, so of course he knows the powerful methods of Luanniao. As long as she says, she will never make any mistakes!
"Brother Mu, for the sake of the present plan, you don't have to care whether you can defeat the city or how many casualties are. Only when you fight against Kuragaki in blood will Xu You send troops."
"Oh? Are you sure he will send troops?"
"Of course!" Yuan Mulan suddenly laughed, her phoenix eyes were pretty, her icy skin was shining, and her peerless face was bright and dark in the beating of the candlelight, saying, "He gave me 100,000 stones of grain from Cangyuan, so he had no choice, and as long as I was here, he had no choice!"
Just as Xu You used food as bait, betting that the Wei army would attack Cangyuan, Yuan Mulan used himself as bait, betting that Xu You would lead the army eastward.
"But what after sending troops?" Mu Fan asked back: "Xu You is several times more powerful than me. He is a military force, and his power is in full swing. Our army has been fighting fiercely, one is rising and the other is growing, and he is afraid that the hunter who fights wolves will be swallowed by the wolves and their belts."
"Sunzi said: If you surrender to the land of destruction, you will survive; if you are trapped in the land of death, you will live!" Yuan Mulan said calmly: "After Xu You sends troops, I will have a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy!"
Mu Fan was extremely shocked. He didn't know what kind of magical move Yuan Mulan would have to turn the world. He could break through such a steep death. He still didn't believe it and murmured: "Do you win the enemy?"
