Chapter 681 Superior Skills
After hearing Yu Jin's words, Xu Shu couldn't help but look excited and solemn.
"If I don't give up, I am willing to do my best to assist Zhendong and the general, help the Han Dynasty, and quell the chaos in the world!"
"good!"
Yu Jin smiled and held Xu Shu's hand: "Sir, let's work together."
"Um!"
While Xu Shu and Yu Jin were discussing, a fast horse galloped over, carrying billowing smoke.
The knight galloped dozens of steps in front of Yu Jin, pulled the reins on the horse, jumped off the horse, and strode to Yu Jin.
"Yu Zhendong! Why did you order the troops to withdraw with gold?"
The man who came was menacing, wearing a suit of armor with long sleeves, a beard, big eyes, and a formidable appearance, especially a pair of gauntlets made of tiger skin, which added a touch of evil aura to him.
This person is Sun Li, a native of Zhuojun, whose courtesy name is Deda. At that time, Gongsun Zan and the Wuhuan people were attacking each other, and the northern part of Youzhou was in turmoil. Sun Li was worried, so he took his mother and fled south, but he was separated from her on the way.
Later, in order to make a living, Sun Li joined the Yanzhou army. With his bravery and bravery, he repeatedly made military exploits and was even more powerful. He once killed a tiger and made a pair of tiger gauntlets to show his bravery. Although Yu Jin was good at marching and setting up formations, he could not charge into battle, so he admired Sun Li very much and ordered to help Sun Li find his mother. Therefore, Sun Li was very grateful to Jin.
However, Sun Li's character was very fierce and impulsive. When he saw Ming Jin retreating his troops, he immediately came to find Yu Jin.
"Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!"
Sun Li said dissatisfied: "Our Liangzhou army has always been brave. We only need to pay a few casualties to capture the small Xue County. Why did the general retreat?"
"I'm asking for orders to lead the troops and attack the city again. We will definitely attack!"
Yu Jin's expression changed when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "What do you mean a few casualties? Are the casualties of the generals and officers in the army just like child's play in your eyes, Sun Li?"
He stretched out his hand and pointed at the wounded barracks and said angrily: "Did you see that? Don't these soldiers have parents, wives and children at home? They were killed and injured in battle, wouldn't their parents, wives and children shed tears of sadness?"
Yu Jin pointed at Sun Li's nose and yelled: "Sun Deda! You are not the only one who has an old mother. Remember this!"
Seeing Yu Jin's anger, Sun Li seemed a little at a loss and hurriedly bowed and said: "Zhendong, I didn't mean that."
"snort!"
Yu Jin snorted, but thought that Sun Li was anxious about the war after all, so he did not continue to blame him.
Xu Shu's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and whispered to Jin for a while.
"Huh? Oh, what a brilliant idea!"
Yu Jin's facial expression changed from cloudy to clear, he laughed and looked at Sun Li.
"Deda, a certain military task is entrusted to you, do you dare to agree?"
Sun Li looked overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Just as Yu Zhendong orders, General Mo will lead the troops to organize a second attack on the city, and we will definitely capture Xue County!"
Yu Jin shook his head: "I do want you to lead the troops, but not to attack Xue County?"
Sun Li looked puzzled and scratched his head: "Then, where does Yu Zhendong want me to attack?"
Yu Jin said slowly: "I want you to lead two thousand elite troops to attack Taishan County. Attack Juping first, then Chengxian County, and then Bo County. Don't attack it really, but feint it."
"What's the point of this?" Sun Li asked puzzledly.
"Xiahou Dun attacked our Xue County, intending to contain our army here. How can our army be led by Xiahou Dun?"
Yu Jin explained: "Since the enemy attacks our Xue County, the territory must be empty. I will only encircle but not attack. Then I will send light troops to attack the enemy's territory. The enemy will definitely be in a hurry. This is to avoid the reality and attack the weakness, and surround Wei to save Zhao."
Sun Li suddenly realized: "What the general means is that I will pretend to attack the enemy's territory, force the enemy to report to Xiahou Dun, and then take the opportunity to defeat the enemy."
"Children can be taught."
Yu Jin nodded with satisfaction and said: "However, Xiahou Dun is also proficient in the art of war and may not be fooled by our army. It doesn't matter. You only need to spread rumors in Mount Tai and say that our Liangzhou army will invade Mount Tai with great fanfare." However, the enemy's army will inevitably be in chaos for a long time, and if the enemy's army is in chaos, then the opportunity for decisive victory will come."
"promise!"
Three days later, in Xue County.
"General Xiahou, it's not good!"
The messenger said in a panic: "Then Yu Jin sent a large army into Kou Taishan County with great fanfare. The three cities of Juping, Chengxian and Bo County were in urgent need and asked General Xiahou to send reinforcements to rescue them."
"What did you say?"
Xiahou Dun's only remaining eye was wide open and his brows were furrowed.
No wonder the Liangzhou Army outside the city had suddenly slowed down its siege efforts in the past few days, and each time it was just a temporary stop. Xiahou Dun originally thought that the morale of the Liangzhou Army was low, so the army had no intention of fighting, but unexpectedly it turned out that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, he stepped up his efforts to attack Yanzhou and provoked the Yu Jinbu stationed in Yanzhou. This was precisely to make a gesture of "building a plank road in the open" and cover Cao Jun's secret strategy for Jiangdong, so he led his army to capture it in one go. Xue County.
Xiahou Dun's strategy was to hold on to Xue County, as if a nail had been driven into the territory of Yanzhou. Yu Jin's main force was attracted here, leaving him no time to care.
The same was true for Jizhou. Cao Hong was also ordered to take the initiative to attack Xu Huang's Jizhou army. Even Yuan Shao, who had just been defeated, was mobilized and assembled an army of 10,000. Yan Liang was the commander-in-chief, and he accompanied the military counselor in due course.
The reason why Cao Cao went out in two directions and attacked the Liangzhou Army at all costs was to entangle the Liangzhou Army and conceal his true intentions.
Xiahou Dun paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alas! If only Mr. Xun Lingjun or Mr. Zhicai were here, they would surely be able to come up with some good plans for me."
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good solution. Xiahou Dun had no choice but to wave his hand to the envoy who was kneeling in the hall and said: "You can go back and tell the counties to hold on and let Zang Ba spy on the enemy's strength. Is it true?" If you want to attack Mount Tai, you still have to bluff."
The envoy nodded, and before leaving, he couldn't help but request: "Xue County is within the enemy's territory and can be abandoned. Taishan County is within our army's territory, and the general must save it."
Xiahou Dun waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I know everything. You can go back first."
The envoy did not dare to disturb Xiahou Dun anymore and turned to leave. Xiahou Dun, on the other hand, fell into deep thought: Which path of Yu Jin is true? Do you really want to attack Taishan County, or are you deliberately making this gesture?
In the art of war, what is imaginary is what is real, what is real is imaginary, and it is difficult to distinguish them at the moment.
Xiahou Dun pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head, his one eye shining with light.
"Send the order! Order the elite soldiers to prepare their armor and prepare to attack the enemy camp at night!"
Since he couldn't tell the truth from the truth, Xiahou Dun led his troops to attack the Forbidden Army camp at night and personally tested whether it was fiction or reality outside the city.
