Chapter 97 Impossible
Yang Feng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Fighting with Li Jue?
Your Majesty, do you want me to die?
Li Jue has tens of thousands of troops, but I only have a few thousand, less than one-tenth of the number. It is already very difficult to hold the position, and why do we take the initiative to attack?
But in front of Yang Xiu, he couldn't say these words to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige.
Liu Xie was already prepared for Yang Feng's reaction.
Yang Feng was brave but not wise. His tactics might be a little good, but his strategy was infinitely close to zero.
There is no overall concept in his mind, and it is impossible to make any plans.
If you can fight, fight, if you can't fight, leave. It all depends on the situation. This is the basic operation.
This is one of the reasons why he chose Yang Feng as his enlightenment target.
An old minister like Shi Sunrui has his own way of using the military. It is impossible to rely on his opinions, let alone follow orders. Being able to serve as a reference already gives him face.
But Yang Feng is different. He and Yang Feng have greater room for complementarity.
The combination of the two can exert greater power.
Liu Xie ordered people to take out the map and personally explain the situation to Yang Feng.
He had been preparing for this moment for a long time, and even drew several maps by hand, just like the PPT necessary for project planning in his previous life.
To put it more carefully, there is no essential difference between this and doing a project. It is a set of processes of identification, planning, execution, and summary. The only difference is that the object of the project is an objective project, while the object of Art of War is a person with a will.
According to Jia Xu's teachings, the analysis and calculation of people's hearts is the top priority, no less important than hard power such as military strength.
"Although Li Jue has many troops, they are not all soldiers, and they cannot all be used to deal with the general." Liu Xie pointed to the map and explained to Yang Feng one by one. "First, he has to arrange some troops to defend Yang Ding..."
Yang Feng interrupted Liu Xie. "Why is Your Majesty so sure that Li Jue will not force Yang Ding to surrender first?"
Yang Xiu couldn't hold himself back and said first: "Yang Ding is defending in danger, and he has enough food. There is no problem in defending for ten days and a half. Instead of attacking Yang Ding's camp, Li Jue might as well attack the imperial camp directly."
Yang Feng looked at Yang Xiu without saying a word, but his expression was somewhat disapproving.
"When the general defeated Hu Feng, Yang Ding also sent out his camp to intercept Hu Feng and Li Shi, but he was just a step too late and failed." Liu Xie explained: "There was this incident before. When Li Jue came to fight, Yang Ding was worried about Li Shi.
If Jue wants revenge, he will definitely not surrender easily. Of course, Li Jue will not believe that Yang Ding will surrender easily. It is better not to attack than to attack by force."
Yang Feng nodded. "Your Majesty is right."
Liu Xie continued to explain. "Yang Ding is like this, Guo Si is no exception..."
Although the right wing was empty, Liu Xie could only take one more gamble and pin his hopes on Jia Xu. But now facing Yang Feng, he looked confident and confident, as if Guo Si was crying and shouting to surrender.
, just like preparing to use Li Jue’s head as a certificate of surrender.
Leaving part of the troops to defend Yang Ding and leaving part to defend Guo Si, the actual number of troops Li Jue can use is about 10,000.
These ten thousand people are not enough to launch an attack on Shisun Rui and Yang Feng's positions at the same time. It is possible to take Yang Feng's left wing first.
Therefore, Yang Feng had to face Xiliang soldiers not ten times his own, but at most two to three times.
The possibility of field battle is not impossible.
Once an opportunity arises, it is possible to defeat Li Jue by taking the initiative to attack and expand the results. If you cannot stand and wait for Li Jue to retreat calmly, you will definitely miss the opportunity.
After all, they do not have enough food and grass, and do not have the material conditions for a long-term confrontation.
Yang Feng didn't understand that, but he was very interested in defeating Li Jue.
After listening to the emperor's analysis, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but gear up and beam with joy.
At this time, a tiger walked in quickly, turned behind Yang Xiu, and whispered a few words.
Yang Xiu's face changed slightly, and he came close to Liu Xie and said softly: "Your Majesty, General Duan Xuan of Ning Ji reported that Zhang Ji has arrived with 20,000 infantry and cavalry. His son Zhang Xiu led more than 1,000 cavalry and crossed Ning in the early morning.
Collect the general's camp and cruise around."
When Yang Feng heard this, his expression also changed.
He knew who Zhang Xiu was, and also knew how powerful the Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Ji's command was. When these people arrived nearby, they were like hungry wolves, unable to sleep peacefully from now on.
Liu Xie's heart tightened, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Huangfu Li had tried his best to hold Zhang Ji back for so long.
——
In Dongjian, Duan Yan was sitting on the saddle, watching Zhang Ji across from him galloping towards him surrounded by several riders.
He waved his hand, signaling for the guards to retreat.
Although the guards were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey his order and retreated dozens of steps back.
At this distance, they could not actively attack Zhang Ji on the other side of Jianshui, but they could detect Zhang Ji's possible threats to Duan Xuan in time and step forward to protect him.
Zhang Ji saw this scene from a distance, and waved his hand, signaling for the guards around him to stay. He rode alone to Duan Xuan, loosened the reins of the horse, and let the war horse lower its head to drink water.
"Brother Duan, are you okay?" Zhang Jigong held his hand.
Duan Xuan returned the gift with his hand. "It was fine at first, but as soon as your uncle and nephew came, I felt bad. I said Brother Zhang, are you worried that I will stop the emperor and prevent him from going to Hongnong?"
Zhang Ji laughed loudly, got off his horse, squatted by the stream, and washed his face with water.
"Brother Duan, I came all the way from Hongnong. You don't even mention throwing a banquet to cleanse me. It's not enough of a friend to wear such a hat first." He said, taking off his boots again and untied his feet.
He put on his clothes and soaked his feet in the cold water. "What, what kind of turbid water can wash your feet? Brother Duan, you are knowledgeable, but do you still remember it? Read it and listen."
Among the Xiliang generals, Duan Xuan had the best background and read more books. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others were only literate and knew nothing about poetry.
But now, Duan Xuan is not in the mood to talk poetry with Zhang Ji.
The more calm Zhang Ji is, the more uneasy he becomes.
Zhang Xiu has passed through his camp and his whereabouts are uncertain. The rangers he sent can only follow from a distance and dare not get too close. If Zhang Xiu suddenly appears and flanks Zhang Ji, he will be in great danger.
"Brother Zhang, Jia Wenhe has become a vassal."
"I know, I heard what Huangfu Li said." Zhang Ji sighed. "After all, Xiliang people are still divided, and they are fighting each other. Not only do the Guandong people take advantage, but they also make a joke."
Duan Xuan also sighed. "Yes, in today's world, Guandong and Guanxi are hostile to each other. Guanxi, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and Sanfu look down on each other. Even the people of Liangzhou themselves are not united. Li Jue because
For his own selfish purposes, he killed Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang, and fought with Guo Duo to the point of injuring both of them. It would be a disaster to keep such a person alive, so why should you help him?"
"I'm not helping him." Zhang Ji said: "I just think that he is ineffective and makes people panic and the world uneasy, so I want to ask the emperor to move to Hongnong to prevent him and Guo Duo from killing each other. Now that the emperor cannot stay in Huayin, I
I have to come and see for myself. Brother Duan, Huayin is very lively these days."
"It's quite lively." Duan Xuan stroked his beard and showed a mysterious smile.
"tell me the story."
"Yesterday around noon, Shi Sunrui led his troops to defeat the Flying Bear Army led by Li Shi."
"Shisun Rui?" Zhang Ji frowned slightly, and then said: "I have already said that Li Shi is a waste and is not suitable to be in charge of the Flying Bear Army. It's just that Li Jue listened to the woman's slander and didn't listen to me.
If my Axiu were in charge of the Flying Bear Army, how could something like this happen?"
Duan Xuan smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Ji immediately felt something was wrong. "Why did Li Shi fight with Shisun Rui? Didn't he come to assist Guo Duo?"
Duan Xuan laughed. "In order to deliver food to Yang Ding, the emperor took dangerous risks and used himself as bait. Li Shi couldn't help it and fell for it."
The smile on Zhang Ji's face gradually solidified, and his eyes became sharp.
