Chapter 348 Xu Yuanzhi leads an army alone

Xu Shu didn't expect Zhao Xing to agree so readily that he could lead the army alone, and there were 10,000 people. This was the number of troops under the Zhenbei Legion, which was already tight. (_) What moved him even more was that Zhao Xing actually allocated Dian Wei, the commander of the personal guard, to him, to use it, which was enough to prove how important his position in Zhao Xing's mind was.

Since he killed the bully in Fuli County, Peiguo County, he seemed to have ended. Although he was besieged by the official army and arrested, he was rescued by Zhao Hu not long after. According to Zhao Hu's guidance, Xu Shu hid his whereabouts all the way and walked north. After more than half a month, he finally arrived in Shangdang. As soon as he arrived at Wohu City, Xu Shu was moved by the strong martial style and the simplicity of studying here. After listening to the arguments between several priests in Taihang Academy, Xu Shu began his study without hesitation.

Not long after Xu Shu arrived in Shangdang, his mother, who had been worried and worried about, was taken to live in Wohu City. Zhao Xing ordered someone to build a courtyard for Xu Shu and his son in the "family area" of Taihang Academy, which was next to famous scholars Cai Yong and Ni Heng. Xu Shu's worries were completely gone, and he was more focused on studying and debating with others. Especially the neighbor Ni Heng next to him, who was sharp-talking and clever, Xu Shu was speechless, but he gradually won Xu Shu's friendship, and the two became close friends who had been together for life.

Zhao Xing must be convinced when doing things, and treat Ni Heng and Xu Shu the same way. In the six years since the outbreak of the plague, Wohu City is like a safe island in a storm, always in peace and stability. There is neither panic spread nor the trouble of soaring prices. Zhao Xing has never mentioned these real achievements in front of the teachers and students of Taihang Academy, but the peaches and plums do not speak, and they form their own paths. All those who can hide in Taihang Academy to study with peace of mind, whether they support or oppose some of Zhao Xing's policies, all agreed that Zhao Xing has the ability to govern and prosper the country.

Ni Heng, who had been ridiculed and even humiliated by Zhao Xing, stood up to defend Zhao Xing as soon as Chen Lin issued a proclamation to challenge Zhao. Xu Shu was the second to stand up. It was not that he was slower than Ni Heng, but he knew that Ni Heng was best at debating with others, so he gave up his position as the first fighter to Ni Heng.

When Xu Shu was studying at Taihang Academy, Zhao Xing had met him several times alone. Two young men of similar age spoke without any scruples, talking about the hardships of the world and the people, and chatting very easily. Zhao Xing took the opportunity to invite Xu Shu to attend classes when he had time. Xu Shu of course went there happily, but found that the gains there were even greater than those of Taihang Academy.

At first, Xu Shu only thought that the Wohu Martial Arts Hall was just a group of martial artists who only knew how to fight and kill, but after entering and listening to a few classes, he realized that he was outrageous. It turned out that the courses offered in the Wohu Martial Arts Hall were of such comprehensive categories and novel content, which was simply incredible.

For top talents who can hold the position of commander, we have to learn a course called political economy, and a course of military command. Other courses such as staff business, combat command, emergency life-saving, individual skills, etc., have been repeatedly pondered and accumulated in actual combat, and a certain system has been formed. Even the books in the "Five-character Tips for the Commander of the Zhao Family" and "Thirty-Six Strategies of the Zhao Family" have been specially annotated by examples. It is really easy to understand and benefited a lot.

Xu Shu not only learned a lot of military command skills in the Wohu Martial Arts Hall, but also improved the originally not systematic and applicable martial arts. Although he is still accustomed to using long swords, he can skillfully use ordinary archery, horses, swords and guns. If anyone thinks he is a weak scholar, he will definitely suffer a great loss. Zhao Xing defines him as Zhao Zilong, who is a partial literary person, and it can be imagined that his martial power is also good.

Xu Shu, who had already dealt with him, took the 10,000 Xiong Ju soldiers specially selected by Zhao Xing for him, and disappeared without hesitation in the west of Zhongyang County. Once he left the Western Front Base Camp, the life and death of these 10,000 people were tied to Xu Shu, and the safety of Bingzhou was closely linked to these 10,000 people.

Xu Shu’s mission is not only to discover Lu Zhi’s main force, but more importantly, to understand Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song’s next strategic intentions and provide reference for Bingzhou to make a correct response. If necessary, Xu Shu even had to bring this ten thousand people to intercept and attack operations, providing buffer time for the rear base camp. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange the sacrifice of his own side for the large force configuration and mobile deployment of the large force.

According to the analysis of the headquarters headquarters, there may be three possible marching methods or strategic goals that Lu Zhi may adopt next.

The first type is to leave a group of people to act on the west bank of the Yellow River to restrain the main force of Zhenbei Army on the east bank of the Yellow River. The rest of the coalition forces rushed straight to the Shangjun Prefecture, Fushi, and found ways to surround the flying tiger and Canglang armies in the Sheyan River area to eat. Finally, when the winter approached, the troops stationed in Fushi City.

The second type is to send a force north to the Sheyan River area to restrain Lu Bu and Guan Yu. The main force of the coalition forces waited for an opportunity to cross the Yellow River east, and directly rushed to Zhongyang, where the command center of the Western Front, and fought a decisive battle with Zhao Xing on the east bank of the Yellow River, completely dealt with the main force of Bingzhou, and then burst out from Taiyuan and Shangdang, and finally conquered the entire Bingzhou.

The third type is neither to attack the skin nor Zhongyang, and to take a trick to bring the coalition forces to the west of Lin County. Suddenly crossing the Yellow River eastward on a large scale, directly bypassing the Sheyan River and Zhongyang, where the Zhenbei Legion was heavily stationed, and directly attacking Lishicheng, the capital of Xihe County, which eventually led to the garrison's main force of the Zhenbei Legion, fifty miles south of Shicheng, retreating back to Shangdang, further losing strategic space.

Of course, the above three situations are all analysis of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song by Bingzhou side. In fact, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to absolutely predict the enemy's initiative. Everything is ready, especially the Zhenbei Legion, which is at a disadvantage in its overall strength and can only defend passively.

Before Xu Shu left, Zhao Xing specifically instructed that Lu Zhi might adopt the fourth or even the fifth marching method. For example, everyone thought that Lu Zhi would cross the Yellow River from Xihe, but if Lu Zhi went the other way, he turned his head and returned to Hedong County along the original route from Beiqu to Hedong County, and suddenly attacked Guyuan, northwest of Shangdang from Yong'an area of ​​Hedong County. In this way, Shangdang County, with empty defense, would be very dangerous, and Bingzhou would be in a state of full beating.

Although there were no reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance aircraft, the military mapping team under Zhao Xing had never stopped working and made maps throughout Bingzhou increasingly accurate and detailed, which was very helpful for Xu Shu to command and conceal the troops. Lu Zhi's side did not have such an innate advantage, and it was also the largest victory in Bingzhou.

To find the main force of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's coalition in the shortest time, the best way is to fight a few battles. From the degree of confrontation between the two sides when they fight, it is naturally possible to distinguish whether they belong to the elite troops. Xu Shu planned to touch the tiger's butt himself.
