As the saying goes, soldiers are like water, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. When the two armies face each other, they need to "miao calculation" before the war, but this "miao calculation" can only calculate the various situations that may occur in the war at most. At the same time, a corresponding general strategy is formulated for these situations. This corresponding "strategy" can only be rough and cannot be specific to the details.

Therefore, Wen Chou and Sun Jian were likely to rush to support Taigu before the war, and did not set any specific response policy. They only discussed a general strategy of "breaking Xu, Hu, Lu, and then attacking Taigu".

Sun Jian frowned and said, "What I am worried about is that Xu and Lu's soldiers are fast, while Hu Zhen's soldiers are slow, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen may arrive at the same time."

Hu Zhen is close to Taigu, Xu Rong and Lu Bu are far away from Taigu. Normally, even if both of his troops come to help Taigu, Hu Zhen must come first, Xu Rong and Lu Bu arrive later. If this is the case, Wen Chou and Sun Jian can use this time difference to arrange the battle, for example: first concentrate troops to defeat Hu Zhen, and then deal with Xu Rong and Lu Bu. If this is the case, the battle will be easier.

But the current situation is: Lu Bu arrived unexpectedly first, and when Lu Bu arrived, Xu Rong was not far away. In other words, Xu Rong and Lu Bu's march speed were beyond Wen Chou and Sun Jian expected it to be fast, while Hu Zhen, who should have arrived first, was so slow and had not arrived for a long time.

This shows a variable. In this way, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong may arrive at the same time. As Sun Jian said, if this situation occurs, it will be difficult to fight. In fact, Wen Chou and Sun Jian also discussed this situation before the war.

At that time, two solutions were decided. One was to set up an ambush to attack the aid. Xu Rong and Lu Bu's aid were difficult to fight because the direction they were coming was in the north of Taigu Pass. Hu Zhen's aid was relatively easier to fight. You could find a suitable place, set up an ambush to beat Hu Zhen. The other was to hit the east and attack the west, or Ke Yun "surround Wei and save Zhao".

Hu Zhen rushed to help and stayed in Yique, and there would be fewer defenders in Guangcheng. You could divide a branch of partial troops and rushed to Yique or Guangcheng, pretending to attack, so that Hu Zhen would not know how to stay or stay. It would be great if Hu Zhen left. If he stayed, he could turn the feint attack Yique and Guangcheng into a real attack, and the other hand, even if he still attacked Taigu. Hu Zhen thought about Yique and Guangcheng, he would definitely not have much fighting intention.

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In short, Wen Chou and Sun Jian’s strategic policies can be divided into two levels.

First, the reinforcements of Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and Lu Bu were first attacked. After the two reinforcements were destroyed, they would besieged Taigu, the Wushu. Second, the reinforcements of Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and Lu Bu were chosen as the main attack direction. Whether Hu Zhen arrived early or he arrived with Xu Rong, they would attack him first and destroy him along the way. Then concentrate their efforts to attack Xu Rong and Lu Bu.

Sun Jian looked at the map for a while and said, "Okay, let's act according to your and my previous deployment!"

After the plan was decided, Wen Chou and Sun Jian sent scouts, horses to explore Hu Zhen's movements, and at the same time, he searched for a suitable ambush place to set up a place to set up a place to set up a ambush in the west of Taigu Pass. There are several mountains in the east and west of Dagu Pass, with undulating peaks and ravines crisscrossing and ravines, and ambushing troops in the mountains.

Wen Chou and Sun Jian thought: Hu Zhen came to march quickly. In order to avoid ambushing, he would definitely not choose the road in the valley to walk, and he would come along the official road in eight out of ten.

The official road was full of sight, and it was difficult to set up an ambush. In the end, the two chose a hill not too far from the official road as the ambush. Wen Chou picked out three thousand elite soldiers, and just waited for Hu Zhen to arrive, he ambushed the three thousand elite soldiers on the mountain in advance. But these three thousand elite soldiers were not the main force to attack the enemy, but the main force was cavalry.

The mountain is small and there are not many people ambushing. Three thousand people are already at the top, and it is impossible to annihilate Hu Zhen's troops by relying solely on these three thousand soldiers. Therefore, Wen Chou and Sun Jian planned to ambush the three thousand people on the mountain to use them to entangle Hu Zhen, and in the end they still have to use cavalry to fight Hu Zhen.

The cavalry is fast and can be ambushed a little farther away. As long as these three thousand armored soldiers can hold Hu Zhen, it doesn't take too long. Half an hour or one hour is enough. With this time, the cavalry can gallop.

After choosing the ambush, he set up a tactic to annihilate Hu Zhen. Wen and Sun waited for Hu Zhenzhi to come. In a steady stream of information, the direction of Guangcheng came from Yique and Guangcheng. First, Hu Zhen completed the troops and then Hu Zhen personally led his troops out of the pass. One day and a half later, Hu Zhen's troops had passed Guangcheng. After passing Guangcheng, he was not far from Taigu.

In order not to make Hu Zhen suspicious, Sun Jian specially ordered him to send him to Yique earlier. The partial master outside Guangcheng Pass should not be chased by Hu Zhen too close, but should not be ignored. - If he chased him too tightly, Hu Zhen would definitely be very careful, and if he ignored him completely, Hu Zhen would definitely be suspicious, and maybe he would be suspicious about an ambush in front of him, so it is most suitable not to be far or near to Hu Zhen.

On the afternoon of the same day, when he heard that Hu Zhen's troops had passed Guangcheng, Wen Chou sent the pre-selected three thousand soldiers out of the camp and ordered him to ambush immediately on the hill. At the same time, Wen Chou and Sun Jian selected elite cavalry again, and still had a total of three thousand cavalry to prepare for the camp.

Wen Chou sent three thousand armored soldiers to ambush the hills. He chose Wen Ba as the general. After hearing that Wen Ba had received the military order and was about to leave the camp, Li Dian hurriedly returned to his tent, took off the civil servant's uniform, took out the armor and put it on, and put it on neatly. He hung the sword that Wen Chou had sent him to his waist, carried a spear and hurried back to Wen Chou's tent, and asked for a visit outside.

The battle against Hu Zhen is very important. If it goes well, it will be much easier to attack Taigu Pass. Therefore, in Wen Chou's tent, there are Bi Ji of the advisers and Yun Hui of the military generals, and there are no less than twenty or thirty people in the tent.

Everyone was discussing and speculating how the victory or defeat of Hu Zhen would be. Dian Wei came in from outside and reported: "Li Dian asked for a meeting." Everyone knew that Dian Wei was extremely ugly and trustworthy, so they paused when Dian Wei came in. After hearing Dian Wei's words, they saw that it was an insignificant little thing, and some people continued the words just now and started talking again.

Wen Chou was originally talking to Tian Feng, Tian Chou and others who were sitting on his side. At this time, he heard Li Dian ask for a meeting and thought to himself: "When the war is about to come, Li Dian suddenly comes to ask for a meeting. This must be the request for a battle." He said, "Call him in."

Li Dian got permission and strode from outside the tent. He had complete armor, with his waist, sword, hands and spears, and when he walked, he was full of tigers and tigers. For example, Tian Feng and others, it was common that he was dressed as a civil servant, and he was rarely seen dressed in a warrior. Seeing him suddenly changing his clothes, he felt his eyes lit up. Guo Jiadun, who was sitting in the lower left of Wen Chou, couldn't help but praise: "What a tiger!" (To be continued.)
