Chapter 204 scheming
However, before Xu Shiye came up with a way to convince Cui's support, and even "intervened into the city to contact his old subordinates", Yang Shanhui had not had time to arrange a dispatch, and the next morning, he had already come to the camp to discuss the battle with Dou Jiande's subordinates who occupied Qinghe County in the early morning...
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's foothold, Cao Dan, the uncle of Dou Xianniang, really skillfully used the conventional military strategy! Xu Shiye, who heard the news, thought about it, did not realize that he attached more importance to Dou Jiade and his subordinates in his heart.[]
There is no doubt that Cao Dan came first to "try the depth of the water". Cao Dan seemed a little rash and immediately came with the army, which further demonstrated his cautiousness in being a human being.
It is false to hear it, but it is true to see it. Although Zhao Junde's death and Yin Qiu and Shi Zan escape alone only showed the powerful combat power of Xu Shiye's troops. But it has to be said that Xu Shiye's troops created the results of "mind calculations but not intentional" when Dou Jiande's troops and Zhao Junde's troops were completely unprepared, with great unexpected factors. It can be imagined that Cao Dan came here with the army because he wanted to take the combat power of Xu Shiye's troops personally and comprehensively evaluate the accurate power of Xu Shiye's troops so that he could formulate reasonable response measures accordingly.
However, Xu Shiye, who secretly speculated about the mentality of Cao Dan, the leader of Dou Jiande, came here, felt a little embarrassed about "how to fight the first battle."
If you continue to hide your strength and give the opponent a head-on attack, Xu Shiye is worried that he will beat Cao Dan to the point of being unable to retreat in one battle and adopts a tactic of strict defense. In this way, it will not only increase the difficulty of using conventional tactics to attack Qinghe City, but also because of the opponent's "strict defense", it may also add greater unpredictability to weird tactics such as "sneak attack".
If you hide your strength excessively, assuming that you are just fighting with your opponent will affect the morale of your soldiers and don’t say anything. If the other party sees that there is a falsehood, it will further increase the other party’s vigilance.
There are sages, but they are the imagination and shaping of the sages in later generations. Therefore, Xu Shiye, who is basically "unconnected" with sages, is actually just a young man. In fact, he still has another entanglement in his heart: his mother's uncle is old. Now he is about to face Dou Xianniang's legitimate uncle whom he is very attached to, and he must also engage in a ruthless and iron-blooded battle with him. How can he not make him feel very difficult to let go?
An ugly daughter-in-law is inevitably seen in her parents-in-law. Isn’t it just Dou Xianniang’s uncle Cao Dan? One day, I met her father Dou Jiande and would still be surrendered? After hearing the news, Xu Shiye lowered his head in the handsome tent, frowned and pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and unconsciously angrily in his heart...
"General, General! How about meeting these 'bastards' first? Maybe who among them can have a good horse? Maybe they can snatch a ride for the general..." Xiong Kuohai, who is honest and straightforward, may still feel a little embarrassed and resentful about Xu Shiye's failure to accept the Molong BMW that he got from Zhao Junde, but instead gave it to him to ride. Therefore, after seeing Xu Shiye hear the news, he yelled loudly.
"Haha, ha! BMWs and beautiful women are both hard to come by! How can there be so many BMW horses in the world? However, Brother Hai said that later, Brother Hai might as well ride the "Molong" to show off his power in front of them...
Two Lord Yang, respectful to the wise. Since they have come to the door again, it is okay for me to go and meet them first. Senior Brother Yan lined up behind him and if they launched an attack, they could just repel it. For the time being, they could only try their combat power first. Excessive attacks made them unable to shrink out, which would be unbeautiful. Haha!”
Xu Shiye, who was reminded by Xiong Kuohai's loud shouts, opened his mouth but unconsciously revealed his inner confusion as Xiong Kuohai said. Then, he quickly changed his tone and gave a serious explanation to the generals in the tent and arranged...
The drums and horns were fighting, and the flags were waving. The two completely "unofficial" military brigades in the late Sui Dynasty were a match between a hundred steps away (outside the distance between bows and arrows) on the battlefield...
On the opposite side, there are five big words "Zuo General Cao" written on it. Under the big banner, a short fat man with sparse beard and golden helmet and iron armor sat upright on the battle horse. Although it is difficult to accurately distinguish the specific age of the short fat man because of the relatively long distance, it is roughly estimated that the short fat man "Zuo General Cao" should be over 40 years old and should be Dou Jiande's wife's uncle, and Dou Xianniang's uncle Cao Dan undoubtedly.
Cao Dan, Cao Dan, fuck? This name is so amazing! Haha! Because I saw Cao Dan's "round" body from afar, I couldn't help laughing while sitting on the horse while watching.
However, with the neighing of war horses and the noise of drums and horns shook the sky, Xu Shiye looked closely and his expression immediately became purged...
It turned out that in the distance between Xu Shiye's patrols facing the military formations opposite, he suddenly discovered that around Cao Dan, surrounded by the Lima Crown, there were nearly two thousand soldiers with military appearance, physique, even armor and weapons, which were extremely powerful and bright, and it was obvious that they were densely packed with the other, as if they were crowded, and there was a huge difference in momentum.
It seems that these about two thousand elite soldiers should be Cao Dan and even Dou Jiande's direct subordinate Qu! Xu Shiye, who was sitting on the horse, frowned in his heart and thought to himself, and couldn't help but think of:
Judging from the fact that the other party still has a large number of troops, as if they were trained as a hundred elite soldiers, although Dou Jiande has been under Gao Shida's command over the years, he must have reserved a large "backhand"! And Dou Jiande must have not let his great leader Gao Shida hear about these refined direct divisions at the beginning. He was secretly editing and preparing to use them as the "Ace" he would take after he took office?
With this estimate, these elite soldiers might be managed and controlled by his "brother-in-law" Cao Dan? My future "father-in-law"'s mind and mind are indeed not simple!
‘………I have seen the generals of the Sui Dynasty, only those who are good at using troops are righteous ministers. I have defeated Jin and attacked me from afar, and his attack cannot be taken. Please lead troops to avoid them, so that they will not be able to fight. I will be tired and attacked by the soldiers. I will make great contributions. Now I am fighting with them, I am afraid that the Duke will not be able to fight…’
It seems that the historical record of this passage of advice to Dou Jiande to Gao Shida should not be empty. If Gao Shida had followed his "drag" decision, he might not have been defeated by Yang Yichen so quickly?
With Dou Jiande's outstanding mind and ability, he had already prepared before he started up and reserved a "backhand". The current situation in which his troops are in should be that Ge Qian's troops, which are more steep and steep, have become stronger...
