In the tent of the military commander of the Han army, Huangfu Song asked Xun Zhen, "Since you know the enemy's situation, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Xun Zhen said: "In the past few days, Zhen has had discussions with Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Li Bo, Xuan Kang and others. I think that although there are not many thieves in Dongjun's Yellow Turbans, their fighting strength is not as good as that of Runan and Yingchuan. The thieves of the two counties, but they still cannot be taken lightly."

"Oh? How do you say that? I'd like to hear it."

"The thief in Dongjun is different from Yingchuan and Runan."

"What's the difference?"

"Yingchuan thieves Bocai and He Man originally gathered their troops in one place, but later they were divided into two places, but there was a big river between them, which made it inconvenient to travel and rescue. Runan thieves Peng Tuo, Gong Du, etc. gathered their elite troops in one city. There were also defenses in Zhengqiang and other counties outside Xihua City. However, at that time, the general had not yet divided his troops with General Zhu. Our army had a large number of generals and was able to divide them. With more than 10,000 people, it seems that they can no longer divide their troops excessively. The two cities of Baima and Puyang are only 30 miles apart, and there are no mountains and rivers in between. The horses are flat and rivers are swiftly rushing to help each other. Therefore, Zhen et al. There is a loss in haste.”

Although the enemies of the Han army in Yingchuan, Runan and Dongjun were the same, they were all Yellow Turbans, but the enemy situation was different. Yingchuan Bocai and He Man first gathered their troops in one place, and then divided their troops into two counties, separated by rivers and inconvenient to rescue, so they could attack them separately. The Yellow Turbans in Runan occupied most of the county towns in Runan, gathered elite soldiers in one place, and placed a number of soldiers and horses in the rest of the county towns. Xihua Yellow Turban did not dare to leave the city, so Zhu Jun, Xun Zhen, etc. divided the rest of the counties, went to their wings first, and then attacked their main force.

The enemy situation in Dongjun has similarities and differences with Yingchuan and Runan respectively. Let's talk about the similarities and differences with Runan first. Similar to Runan: Bu Ji also captured the entire territory of Dongjun, and put some troops in each county, and also gathered all the main force to fight against the Han army, but different from Runan. Yes: He did not put all his elite troops in one city, but divided them into three places: Puyang, Baima, and Weixiang. Let's talk about the similarities and differences with Yingchuan. Similar in Yingchuan: Bu Ji also placed the main forces in different places, which is quite the same as the division of troops into two counties in the later period of Bocai and He Man, but the difference is that the two armies of Bocai and He Man were at that time. There are rivers between them, while Baima and Puyang counties are not far from each other, and the roads are smooth, making it easy to come and go for rescue.

In short, the deployment of the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun brought the biggest trouble to the Han army: Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had already divided their troops, and they could no longer follow the successful experience of Runan in the first battle. First surround Puyang with one way, and after the other way has cut off the white horse, he will fight with Bu Ji. Puyang had 20,000 soldiers, and Baima had 5,000 soldiers. According to Xun Zhen's observation, both cities were strong cities. Huangfu Song's army only had more than 20,000 soldiers. If there are fewer soldiers, it is not enough to defeat the white horse. If there are too many soldiers, it may not be able to surround Puyang. But if we don't divide our troops, because the distance between Puyang and Baima is not far away, the road is smooth, and we can't calmly attack them separately like in Yingchuan. The two were fighting like they were fighting, and they were concentrating on dealing with each other, and another enemy came behind them.

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "Sima's words are very true. This East County thief is indeed not to be taken lightly." After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said to Xun Zhen, "Sima Zhiyong, Gongda and Zhicai are also heroes of Ru County. , I think you must have a plan to deal with the enemy when you come and wait? Please come and listen."

Xun Zhen said: "Zhen et al really have a small income, and we have negotiated a humble plan."

"Please say."

"Zhen et al thought that in the face of such a situation, there may be only one way to defeat the enemy."

"any solution?"

"Besieged the city to help."

"Besieged the city to help?"

"Yes. Looking at the arrangement of the troops and horses of Bouji, all the way in Puyang, all the way in Baima, and all the way in Weixiang earlier, the clear idea is to form a tripod of the three places, support each other, and respond to each other. Then, Our army might as well follow the situation and attack Dongjun according to his plan: surround Puyang, lure the white horses to rescue, set up an ambush halfway, destroy Han Li first, and then take Puyang."

Huangfu Song nodded and said, "It's a good plan, it's a good plan."

Outside the tent, late at night, the soldiers set up tents and divided them into two groups, one group rested, and the other group continued to build camp and guard. The noisy voice was introduced into the tent, and along with the noise came the night wind, which blew the candlelight in the tent, reflecting the faces of the generals. Fu Xie frowned and thought deeply. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Xun Sima's plan is a good plan, but I'm afraid that Puyang Buji will also think of this level. If I surround Puyang and the white horse doesn't save me, what can I do?" A captain of the school said, "If the white horse is not rescued, our army will really attack Puyang, and it will be enough to destroy it? As long as Puyang can be taken down, the white horse will only have five thousand thieves, and by that time, it will not be heard. ?"

"Having said that, our army's food supply is only enough for one month. As Xun Sima said, Puyang and Baima are fortified cities, and the city defenses are quite strict. It's troublesome."

"Then what is your plan, Fu Sima?"

Fu Xie didn't have any tricks, he shook his head, and said, "The situation is like this, and I have no plan." After a pause, he said to Huangfu Song, "General, Xun Sima's plan is a good plan, just to prevent the thief from beating himself up. Thinking of this level too, in the humble opinion of the officials below, it would be better to surround Puyang with the aid of baiting the white horses instead of surrounding the white horses with the help of Puyang."

A soldier under the hall asked curiously, "Why? Isn't it different to surround Puyang and surround the white horse?" Another soldier said, "No, otherwise, the priority is to surround Puyang. If you encircle Puyang, Han Li will save him, but if you encircle the white horse, Bu Ji will not necessarily save Han Li." Most of the people in the tent nodded in agreement, agreeing to encircle Puyang first.

Fu Xie said, "There are few white horses. If we can't save ourselves, our army can capture them quickly. If we can save them, our army can also set up an ambush halfway. This kills two birds with one stone."

Another objected, saying: "There are many soldiers in Puyang, if Bu Ji saves the white horse, he will send more reinforcements, if there are more reinforcements, we will have more troops in ambush. The White Horse is now settled. The best strategy is to encircle Puyang. There are few soldiers in the White Horse. How many people can Han Li send to aid Puyang? Three thousand at most. I am enough to set up an ambush with five thousand people, so as not to delay the encirclement of Puyang."

Everyone had different opinions and talked about it. Some supported Xun Zhen's opinion and surrounded Puyang, while others supported Fu Xie's opinion and surrounded Baima. Huangfu Song listened for a long time, coughed, and everyone stopped talking at the same time, straightened up, turned their faces, and turned to look. Quiet returned to the tent.

Huangfu Song stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Do you know the story of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?"

Everyone in the tent was stunned for a moment. Everyone was discussing whether to surround Puyang or Baima first. Why did Huangfu Song suddenly get involved in besieging Wei and saving Zhao? Xun Zhen, Fu Xie, etc. are all well-read scholars, and they have learned from their families. They know the allusions about besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Most of the generals in the tent also know about it, but there are some who have little reading and do not know, because they asked: "Why besiege Wei and save Zhao? "

Huangfu Song said: "In the past, Wei general Pang Juan attacked Zhao and encircled Handan, Qi general Tian Ji rescued him, military advisor Sun Bin suggested that instead of going to Handan, it would be better to attack Wei capital Daliang. Soldiers attack him in the middle of the road, and this is the plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. ..., gentlemen, this strategy of Sun Bin can also be said to be a model of besieging the city and fighting for aid, but his 'surrounding the beam' is a false siege."

Everyone said in unison, "Yes."

"It can be seen that the siege of the city does not necessarily have to be carried out after a city of the enemy is surrounded."

Everyone was puzzled. Although they understood the meaning of Huangfu Song's words, they didn't know what he wanted to say. Someone asked, "What does the general mean?"

Huangfu Song smiled slightly and explained his thoughts in detail.

When everyone heard the words, they were all overjoyed, and even more because Huangfu Song's plan was too good, and couldn't help but slapped the table and applauded, so overjoyed that they scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks. Said: "General's strategy!"

Xun Zhen sincerely praised: "Sun Tzu said: 'The water controls the flow because of the ground, and the army wins because of the enemy. The soldiers have no constant force, and the water has no constant shape. Those who can win because of the changes of the enemy are called gods." The strategy is the real 'to win because of the enemy', which can be described as a god." m
