Chapter 426: Ying Yuan, who doesn’t play by the rules
Maybe no one thought of it.
Ying Yuan will choose to attack Luoxia Pass.
Because the Yan army's spies had all been eliminated by the cooperation of the three guards and the Qin army scouts.
Therefore, Li Jing, who was defending the city alone, did not notice the current movements of the Qin army.
He was also paranoid and believed that the Qin army would definitely attack Muye Pass.
Therefore, all soldiers were required to train intensively every day and prepare equipment that could be used to defend the city.
It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Li Jing was also fully confident that he could guard the Muye Pass and block the Qin army of one million for half a month.
Half a month can greatly increase Yan State's chances of winning.
now.
On top of the city wall of Muye Pass.
Hou Junji bowed to Li Jing and asked, "Marshal, do you think the Qin army will come?"
Hearing this, the latter laughed and said, "If you were Ying Yuan, would you give up the opportunity to annihilate an enemy army of 500,000?"
The former nodded thoughtfully.
It’s a pity that Hou Junji is not Ying Yuan.
This was also Li Jing's first fight with the Qin Emperor.
"Marshal, I've heard that Ying Yuan is adept at scheming, and sometimes his actions are difficult for others to see through."
“Only when the outcome is achieved will people suddenly realize the truth and marvel at the mastery of his military strategy.”
"Do you think our army should prepare for both scenarios?"
Hou Junji is a famous general of our time.
In order not to miss the opportunity to fight against Qin Emperor Ying Yuan.
He reviewed many battles between Qin and other countries.
Especially those games that Ying Yuan personally commanded.
After reviewing the game countless times, he came to a conclusion:
If the commander at that time was him instead of Ying Yuan, no matter how the deduction was made, the final result would only be defeat.
Therefore, he could be said to be even more respectful of Ying Yuan.
Li Jing slowly said, "I understand what you mean, but if we divide our forces and prepare for both scenarios, Muye Pass will be short of manpower."
"I dare not take this risk, Marshal."
Although he also used unusual tactics when deploying troops, more often than not, he sought stability.
After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, not Hou Junji.
As a commander, with just a thought, you can lead your army into the abyss.
Because of this, every decision he makes must be made with extreme caution.
"There are only two possible outcomes for our Yan army. First, the Qin army attacks Luoxia Pass, Qin Qiong is defeated, and our army is imprisoned."
"Secondly, the Qin army came to attack our Muye Pass to buy time for our Yan State."
Li Jing put the answer in front of Hou Junji.
However, they were not the ones who took this test.
On the Qin army side.
Cao Cao is discussing with Guo Jia.
In the end, they decided to station Chen Qianzhi's 100,000 troops outside Muye Pass.
In order to play the role of making a warning to others.
In this case, even if Li Jing knew that Luoxia Pass was in great danger, he would be unable to do anything about it.
Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, was a veteran of the battlefield and had already mastered the art of war.
But after all, he was facing the luxurious lineup of Qin.
At this time, Guo Jia added: "I am afraid that even with an army of 100,000, it will not be able to stop Li Jing."
"It would be better to send another good general to lead an army of 100,000 to form a supporting force with Chen Qingzhi's troops."
"In this case, I'm afraid the Yan army doesn't have much better solutions."
Cao Cao nodded in agreement, "This is a brilliant plan."
But who should be sent?
Bai Qi, Yue Fei and the like?
This time they go to Muye, they only play a restraining role.
Bai Qi and others have the ability to command large troops in battle.
To put it bluntly, letting them go is a bit of a waste of their talents.
Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the like had to stay in the army, ready to charge into battle.
Cao Ren and Zhao Kuo did have this ability, but the former was Cao Cao's personal soldier, and the latter was strictly speaking at the same level as Cao Cao, making it difficult to mobilize them.
Cao Cao didn't want to report such a small matter to Ying Yuan and let him make the decision.
Otherwise, you will appear useless.
Bai Qi and the others seemed to see through his difficulties, and said one after another:
"Wouldn't it be better if this battle could train some young generals for our Great Qin? So, I suggest that we use newcomers."
"Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the training of new talents. Letting them lead an army of 100,000 is just a diversionary force, so it should be fine."
“…”
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Generals, do you have any candidates you like?"
Bai Qi bowed and said, "I have a General of the Household under my command, named Wang Jian, who may be of great use."
Huo Qubing said, "I have a lieutenant general under my command, the famous general Wei Qing."
Zhuge Liang gently shook the fan blades and said slowly:
"The Empress has strongly recommended a female general to Your Majesty. She is well versed in military tactics and also understands sorcery. She can be sent."
Fuhao?
Cao Cao thought for a moment and made a decision: "Since that's the case, let Wang Jian, Wei Qing, and Fu Hao each lead 35,000 troops to cooperate with the Wu army."
Sometimes, politics also exists on the battlefield.
Most of the newcomers recommended by Bai Qi and other generals had a good relationship with them.
They also want to cultivate those newcomers well.
Why didn't Cao Cao just go with the flow?
only...
"None of the three of them have experience leading troops in battle. Fearing the consequences of a small loss, I have decided to send a military advisor to oversee and coordinate their actions."
"I have already thought of the candidate. How about letting Xie An go?"
