Chapter [296] Fa Zheng's Ingenious Strategy
Qingzhou.
Zhang Liao paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back, looking a little anxious, as if he was waiting for some news.
On the other hand, Fazheng had a relaxed expression, sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
Not long after, a messenger hurried in.
"Can you find out the enemy's situation?" Zhang Liao asked hastily.
"General Qi, Liu Bei's 50,000 troops are coming from the south, and Cao Cao's 50,000 troops are coming from the west." The messenger clasped his fists.
Zhang Liao couldn't help but look serious when he heard the words, "One hundred thousand troops"
"Prepare the defense equipment immediately. There are still 40,000 troops in the city. It is not a big problem to rely on the city to defend." Zhang Liao immediately ordered.
"Wait a minute, general." Fazheng on the side stopped him~.
"What advice does the military advisor have?" Zhang Liao looked at Fazheng and asked, "Is there a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"I remember that the king said in the letter that we are allowed to withdraw from Qingzhou." Fazheng said slowly.
Zhang Liao was angry when he heard the words, and said: "A military commander is afraid of war, is this going to flee without fighting? Forgive Zhang Liao for not being able to do it!"
Is it the chief general or the military commander? Naturally, Zhang Liao has a higher official, and Fazheng is only an assistant, and Zhang Liao is the head of Qingzhou.
"I am entrusted with the affairs of Qingzhou by your majesty, how can I flee without a fight?" Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, "Although there are 100,000 enemy troops, this general will stop them with confidence.
Forty thousand against one hundred thousand is still a siege battle. The Qin army is on the defensive side. Zhang Liao is very confident that he can stop the enemy.
"The military strength is indeed enough to defend the city, but has the general considered the food and grass?" Fazheng asked without haste.
Zhang Liao was in the room when he heard the words, but he didn't open his mouth to refute. Food and grass are indeed Qingzhou's weakness.
Before Yuan Shao mobilized an exceptionally large-scale army, with more than half a million troops and millions of civilians, the four prefectures of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing were wiped out in a single battle.
There is no local food and grass in Qingzhou, so it needs to rely on central allocation.
And Qingzhou's geographical location is a bit embarrassing. It is more like an enclave to Daqin, and it does not border on the main body of Daqin at all. The grain and grass allocated by Guanzhong need to be sent to Hebei first, and then sent to Qingzhou.
This leads to a lot of consumption on the road, and every time the grain and grass are delivered to Qingzhou, there is not much left.
"Once the enemy army encircles and does not attack, until our food and grass are exhausted and Qingzhou is destroyed without attack, the general still has the great trust of the king. Fazheng's voice sounded again, "People save land and lose, people and land survive; land saves people Lost, people and land are lost. "
"No!" Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Fleeing without fighting is not what a real man does!"
"In such a situation, at worst, if I lead troops out of the city to counterattack, I may not lose!"
With 40,000 fighting against 100,000, Zhang Liao conceited that even if he went out to fight in the city, he would not have no chance.
After all, he is a man of 800 to 100,000 people, and he is naturally confident in his bones. Even in the face of Cao Liu's pincer attack, Zhang Liao is still not afraid.
"The general misunderstood, I didn't mean to let the general flee without a fight." Fazheng's tone eased, and said: "I mean a strategic retreat. Within half a month, I guarantee that Qingzhou will return to our hands. Military order."
"Oh?" Zhang Liao was really surprised now, "I would like to hear more about it."
Fazheng organized his words, and said: "The general also knows that after the autumn harvest, the king will go to attack Jiangdong.
"Of course I know, the king said in his letter." Zhang Liao nodded slightly.
"Then according to the general's opinion, can King Yin succeed?" Fazheng asked retortly.
"Success of course." Zhang Liao said without hesitation: "With the bravery of the king, go down the river and hit Jiangdong by surprise. I can guarantee that the king will definitely be able to defeat Jiangdong." 1"
Regarding Lu Bu, all the generals in Daqin have an inexplicable self-confidence. As long as Lu Bu does not act, it is impossible to lose the battle.
"Unfortunately, I think so too." Fazheng continued: "General, have you ever thought about how the Cao and Liu families will react once the news of Jiangdong being attacked by the king spreads?
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "The three families of Cao, Liu and Sun are an alliance, and they will join forces to fight against the Great Qin."
"If the news of Jiangdong's attack comes out," the Cao and Liu families will definitely go to the rescue... Zhang Liao couldn't help but be taken aback.
Fazheng took up the conversation with a smile, "That's right."
"Let's throw Qingzhou to Cao Liu first, and when the news of Jiangdong comes out, Cao Liu will definitely rush to rescue Jiangdong, and then Qingzhou will return to our hands."
After hearing Fazheng's thoughts, Zhang Liao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Wonderful strategy!"
You don't need to take any risks, you don't need to be surrounded by enemy troops, you just need to withdraw temporarily and come back in a few days.
"Then what if the great king..." Zhang Liao hesitated again.
After all, there is no information. Fazheng said that all of this is based on Lu Bu's victory. If Lu Bu fails and loses Qingzhou again, it will be very bad
0...asking for flowers...
"General don't need to worry too much. Even if the king fails to achieve it overnight, there will be a stalemate with Jiangdong. After Cao Liu gets the news, he will still go south to rescue, otherwise Sun Ce's family alone will not be able to stop the king's subsequent offensive." Fazheng Zhizhu is in his hands.
"Yes, yes, yes! The military advisor is right." Zhang Liao said excitedly, "Regardless of whether the king has won or not, as long as the news of Jiangdong's attack comes out, Cao Liu will definitely not be able to sit idly by."
"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, especially the three families of Cao Liu and Sun. The Sun family is the strongest. Once the Sun family is destroyed, the Cao Liu family will be trapped in the Central Plains. It is imperative to rescue Jiangdong after being restricted by the Yangtze River and the Yellow River." Fazheng talked eloquently.
"Let's withdraw from Qingzhou first, wait for Cao Liu to rescue Jiangdong, and then come back again." Fazheng continued: "Not only that, after regaining Qingzhou, we can also assess the situation
Go south or west, take the initiative to attack Cao and Liu, drag their pace, and help the king share some pressure.
......0
If you are wronged by others, you must retaliate. How can Fazheng be the master who does not fight back when he suffers?
When Cao Liu goes to rescue Jiangdong, Fazheng will let Zhang Liao do things and attack Cao Liu's territory, making Cao Liu lose ground when he advances and retreats.
"Wonderful!" Zhang Liao bowed deeply to Fazheng, "Forgive me, military commander, I am a rough person, and I misunderstood the military commander before."
Fazheng stepped aside quickly and did not accept Zhang Liao's salute, "General Wen Yuan spoke seriously, I didn't make it clear.
Although Fazheng is highly valued by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao is an old man around Lu Bu. He has worked hard and made great achievements. big.
"Hahaha, let's stop being polite here." Zhang Liao laughed and said, "The whole army is ordered to retreat and cross the Yellow River into the border of Hebei."
After realizing Fazheng's strategy, Zhang Liao didn't have any objection to temporarily withdrawing his troops. Anyway, he would come back in a few days, and Lu Bu had also said in his letter before that if the situation was unstoppable, he could give up Qingzhou as appropriate, so that Conservation of troops is the main priority.
After the order was issued, Qingzhou's 40,000 troops immediately began to retreat.
There is a county in Qingzhou originally located in Hebei. In the past, Hebei had to send grain to Qingzhou, so there were ready-made vehicles for crossing the river. The 40,000 army crossed the river very quickly, and people from all over Qingzhou went to Loukong Factory. .
