There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Guo Tu heard Yuan Shao's praise of Xun Chen, his face was a little blushing, and he continued to retort unconvinced: "Would he not doubt the sudden promise of a city to the pottery merchant?"

Xun Chen said: "When the pottery merchant first came to Hebei, we had already sought peace with him once. The last Zhangshui alliance also ended in vain. At this time, there is no excuse to talk about the past. No, the reason is sufficient, but we should fight the pottery, we still have to fight."

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, and said, "Order Qianzhao and Guo Yuan to lead our troops to the west to face the Jinling Army."

When he was young, Qianzhao used to follow Chang Shi Leyin, and was later hired by Yuan Shao as an officer, and also led Karasuma Tuqi, which was very important to Yuan Shao.

The leading move in history is the famous general of Cao Wei, who served Cao Wei in northern Xinjiang and made great contributions.

Moreover, the ability to draw moves is directly proportional to being calm and steady, so Yuan Shao deliberately chose him when dealing with the pottery merchant.

When he was young, Yuan Shao called Qianzhao over, and gave him a rough account of Xun Chen's strategy.

After listening to the move, he hesitated for a while and said, "What does the general mean, that I can only be defeated but not victorious?"

Yuan Shaochang sighed and said: "That's exactly the case. Only after losing the battle will it be logical to cede the city to the pottery merchants. However, in order to preserve the strength of our army, we don't want to lose too much. After thinking about it, Yuan also thinks that you are qualified for this matter."

Qianzhao pondered for a while, before he said to Yuan Shao: "Thanks to the General's love, I am willing to take on this matter, but most of the people under the potter's command are good at fighting, and Qu Yi knows my background. I can't do what I want, so please ask the general to add a strong general for me to help me."

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, and said: "I let Zhang He be the deputy general, and lead to you. Always remember that you can only lose, not win."

Qianzhao smiled wryly when he heard the words, but said nothing.

This made Yuan Shao very satisfied... I really want to win, but the question is, can I win?

A battle that is destined to fail, and now it is required not to lose too badly... This battle is really not easy to fight.

……

A few days later, the soldiers and horses led by Zhaozhao were dispatched. Their target was the plain to the west of Yecheng.

The school affairs of the school affairs office brought the news back to the potter, which made him feel very strange.

"I entered with an army of 3, but Yuan Shao only sent recruits. Zhang Yun and Guo Yuan led [-] people to station in the plain... Isn't this a bit too disrespectful to me?" The pottery merchant told everyone his idea.

Zhuge Liang always focused on calmness when doing things. He gently swayed the feather fan and thought: "Teacher, although Tian Feng is not with Yuan Shao now, and Xu You has also surrendered to Cao Cao, there are still many powerful masterminds under Yuan Shao's command. Is there some kind of trick in pulling Zhao and Zhang He here... After all, Yuan Shao is powerful and has many talents, if he really has some kind of conspiracy, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it hastily."

Compared with Guo Jia and Sima Yi, although Zhuge Liang was less aggressive in doing things, he was extremely stable. Although this was sometimes a disadvantage, most of the time it was still an advantage, at least he would not be caught by the opponent.

The potter feels that he is somewhat lacking in this aspect compared with this apprentice.

"Kong Ming, what do you think should be done now as a teacher?"

Zhuge Liang said respectfully to the potter: "Yuan Shao is now confronting Cao Cao, and there will be no winner for a while. Teacher, please be at ease for now. After you understand what is going on, it is not too late to think about the way to enter the army."

The pottery merchant nodded, and said: "It is indeed the best way to respond to all changes with the same."

……

The pottery merchants adopted the method of keeping the same and responding to all changes, and temporarily suspended their troops, but the Zhaozhao side formulated many countermeasures.

In order to make this defeat as similar as possible without causing too much loss, Qianzhao has been staring at Pitu every day for the past few days, barely closing his eyes.

After all, for him, this burden is too heavy.

Finally, the strategy is formulated, just waiting for the opponent to attack.

But for ten days in a row, the potter's army did not move at all.

This time, Qianzhao was a little silly.

There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7 Twelve

The plan of Yanzhao is to wait for the potters to come to attack the plain where they are, and resist with all their strength, and then use the advantage of the city defense to start a fierce battle with the opponent when the potters attack the city by force, so as to increase the strength of the Jinling army as much as possible. Casualties, and then logically pretended that he couldn't hold on to the defeat and left, allowing the potters to occupy the plains, laying the foundation for Yuan Shao's follow-up plan.

Although the idea of ​​pulling tricks is very good, what he never expected was that the pottery merchant did not follow the routine at all.

He actually camped in place and didn't come to attack?

If Tao doesn't come to attack, even if he wants to lose, he can't find a way to start, right?

This time, things are a little difficult!

A few days later, Qianzhao received another report from the front, saying that pottery merchants had set up several subsidiary camps in various directions away from their main camp, and each other acted like horns.

Looking at the posture, the opponent is not planning to attack in a short time, and it is clear that he must strictly guard against it!

In a hurry, Qianzhao approached Zhang He and Guo Yuan to discuss the matter.

"Two generals, the general ordered me to be stationed in Pingyuan County, only to be defeated but not to win, and to abandon the front line on the west side of Jizhou in order to design Cao Cao and the potters... But now when I come here, I find that the potters have set up camp, which is not like entering an army. If this is the case, if it is delayed for a long time, it will delay the strategy of the general, and it will be a small matter to be punished later, but it will be a big matter to miss Jizhou's foundation... I wonder what the two generals think we should do now?"

Although Guo Yuan is also a fierce general, he is brave and resourceful, and it is difficult to pull a move. Normally, he can't figure it out.

Qianzhao didn't count on Guo Yuan at first, so he turned his attention to Zhang He.

Zhang Yun is currently a famous general in Hebei. Although he is currently the deputy general of the lead in name, it is only because of his age.

If it is compared based on actual performance, its status should be higher than that of pulling moves.

Seeing Zhao Zhao looking at him, Zhang He also bowed his head and pondered for a while, and finally said: "The pottery merchant doesn't move his troops... and no matter how he thinks, we still have to find a way to lure him out."

Qianzhao heard the words and said: "Then according to Jun Yi's opinion, what should we do now?"

Zhang He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The last general is not talented, but he can't think of any good way... The only way I can think of is to personally lead the troops to the enemy's camp, pretending to be defeated, or it may work. "

After hearing this, Qianzhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The most basic method of luring the enemy.

But in the absence of a better way, it can only be done in this way.

"Since this is the case, in the future, Lao Junyi will lead an army to go to the other army, fight against it, and then feign defeat... As for whether we can lure Tao Jun to attack, it depends on God's will."

After pulling the order, Zhang He naturally complied.

The next day, Zhang He ordered all the soldiers and horses in his headquarters, and headed towards the potter's camp.

certainly.Zhang Xi did not dare to go easily to the main camp where the Tao merchants were located. After all, the main camp of the pottery merchants should have the strongest troops and combat power, and they should also have the most generals.

Zhang Xi came to deceive the enemy to lure the enemy, not to die.

Fortunately, Zhaozhao had inquired about the location of the camps set up by the pottery merchants and the commanders and deputy generals of each camp in order to dispatch scouts beforehand, and provided the information to Zhang Yun.

According to intelligence, the potters set up two auxiliary camps on either side of the main camp, a total of four camps, and the four main camps were Qu Yi, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong.

Zhang He made some calculations.
