Chapter 61 Fortune Lies in Peril! Cao Cao: Someone is imitating my military tactics?
Yang Hong's words gave several Yellow Turban leaders pause for thought.
But soon, Gong Du responded with a forced, sarcastic smile:
"Mr. Yang can easily do it by just talking."
"But if we really do as Mr. Yang says, the brothers first need to find a suitable marching route, and we also need to make sure that we are not ambushed by those Yanzhou soldiers!"
"If something goes wrong, can Mr. Yang bear the responsibility?"
These words were immediately echoed by Liu Pi, Sun Lang, and others.
Several Yellow Turban leaders had considered crossing the mountain pass to launch a surprise attack on Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin.
But the risks involved are simply too great.
First of all, in terms of familiarity with the terrain, the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou were definitely no match for the soldiers of Yanzhou.
Furthermore.
The number of soldiers traversing the mountain path was uncertain.
If you don't go often enough, it won't have any effect.
If we go too often, the enemy will notice something amiss, and we'll become a laughingstock!
It's important to understand that this is quite different from when Cao Cao crossed the mountain pass to ambush Xu Rong.
Xu Rong never expected Cao Cao to use that method to get behind him.
In his view, the absence of pursuing troops east of Xingyang towards Luoyang proved that the allied forces had likely withdrawn.
Who would have thought that Cao Cao would be so bold as to lead his troops directly to the west of Xingyang and cut off Xu Rong's retreat route?
To be honest, if Su Yu weren't a time traveler...
Even he wouldn't dare let Cao Cao take such a big risk.
He was certain that Xu Rong would not see through his scheme, which is why he dared to suggest that Cao Cao take this risky step.
And now.
The Yellow Turban leader of Qingzhou and the warlords of Yanzhou are currently in a standoff.
If the forces of the Yellow Turban leaders in Qingzhou were to suddenly decrease, the warlords of Yanzhou would not remain indifferent.
It's like the historical confrontation between Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei at Jian Ge.
If it weren't for Deng Ai, who appeared out of nowhere, sneaking across Yinping, it would have been almost impossible for Zhong Hui to capture Jiang Wei!
At this moment, Yang Hong's suggestion was instantly ridiculed by Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Sun Lang.
Only Guan Hai was still pondering the feasibility of this matter.
suddenly.
Guan Hai clapped his hands and said:
"Mr. Yang is absolutely right."
"But Guan believes that the plan needs further refinement!"
"Why don't you all select your two thousand most elite men to form a force of ten thousand, cross the mountain roads, and launch a surprise attack on our rear?"
"If each of us only sends two thousand men, that should still be within your acceptable range, right?"
As the leader of the alliance, Guan Hai's suggestions were not enough for Liu Pi, Gong Du, Sun Lang, and others to be considered.
"Upon closer reflection, two thousand people is not an exaggeration."
"These two thousand people are fine with Zhao's side."
Zhao Hong was the first to respond to Guan Hai.
Liu Pi cursed under his breath, "sycophant."
Zhao Hong had no problem, and Guan Hai, as the proposer, naturally had no problem either.
After careful consideration, Sun Lang also expressed his agreement.
Liu Pi and Gong exchanged glances and finally decided to agree.
The main reason was that Guan Hai was well aware of the thoughts of these Yellow Turban leaders.
With so many people involved, these few people must be heartbroken.
Each family only contributes two thousand, so even if they all die in battle, it won't be a major blow.
after all.
Each Yellow Turban leader commanded tens of thousands of troops!
Yang Hong watched this scene with a smile, completely unconcerned about the mockery he had just received from Liu Pigong and the others.
He has already laid out the bait, and the big fish has taken the bait!
Followed by.
When everyone had agreed on a total of 10,000 troops, Yang Hong suddenly spoke up:
"Gentlemen, I, Yang, volunteer to join this death squad that traverses the mountain passes!"
"If I can help this army achieve its great cause, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself along the way!"
Several Yellow Turban leaders were moved by this.
Even Guan Hai looked at Yang Hong with newfound respect.
Logically speaking, given Yang Hong's position beside Yuan Shu, it would be impossible for him to make such a move as "a strategist putting himself in the game."
But now, in order to break through the border of Yanzhou, Yang Hong is actually willing to follow this "death army" as an accompanying staff officer!
This level of awareness is not something everyone possesses.
……
soon.
Several Yellow Turban leaders each selected two thousand men from their ranks, totaling ten thousand.
As for the selection of the head coach, no agreement has been reached.
Firstly, it was impossible for several Yellow Turban leaders to personally command this death force.
Secondly, no matter which of the Yellow Turban leaders' trusted confidants were appointed as the commander-in-chief, the other Yellow Turban leaders would be dissatisfied!
This is similar to starting a company in later generations.
If you own shares, you should definitely enjoy dividends.
But everyone owns 20% of the shares, so who should be handed over to manage the company?
The only solution is to hand it over to an externally hired general manager!
This is the only way to avoid conflicts among shareholders due to management issues.
Yang Hong stepped forward again.
He recommended Qiao Rui, who had accompanied him on this mission to Yanzhou, to serve as the commander-in-chief.
The Yellow Turban leaders looked at each other, and then surprisingly passed the resolution unanimously!
Qiao Rui happily obtained command of the 10,000-strong army.
Yang Hong served as a staff officer in this army.
He made arrangements with several Yellow Turban leaders.
As this horde of dead soldiers crossed the mountain pass, several Yellow Turban leaders decided to intensify their attacks on the border to avoid alerting Cao Cao and his forces.
Guan Hai and the others readily agreed.
But they didn't notice at all that Yang Hong's smile was harder to suppress than an AK!
Yang Hong was very clear about this.
These so-called "ten thousand elite troops" were not the real trusted men that the Yellow Turban leaders would send to their deaths.
To know.
These 10,000 people are most likely going to their deaths!
Who would send their trusted confidant to their death in vain?
However, in order not to arouse Yang Hong's suspicion, the Yellow Turban leaders could only try their best to provide the 10,000 elite troops with good equipment and send more able-bodied men into the ranks.
In other words.
The loyalty of this 10,000-strong army to the few Yellow Turban leaders could not possibly be very high!
This is exactly the effect Yang Hong wanted!
He's determined to take advantage of these 10,000 people.
Despite his wealth and power, Yuan Shu was very capable of rapidly building up his army.
But that was in Yuzhou.
In Yanzhou, Yang Hong only brought a small number of personal guards and his general Qiao Rui with him on this mission.
With 10,000 fresh troops joining, Yang Hong can do many things.
such as……
If the surprise attack on Yanzhou via a detour is successful...
Should the conquered cities belong to the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, or to Yuan Shu?
Of course, it belongs to Yuan Shu!
Yang Hong was confident that he and Qiao Rui could easily take over these 10,000 young men on the way.
By then, Guan Hai and the others will have nowhere to turn to cry!
of course.
This approach isn't entirely without its flaws.
For example, if Cao Cao realized that Yang Hong wanted to cross the mountain road to launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou.
Yang Hong is very likely to become a sitting duck, with no way to escape!
but.
There's one thing Yang Hong remembers very clearly.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
The timid starve, the bold eat their fill!
Having completed this mission, he will undoubtedly become the number one person by Yuan Shu's side!
From now on, even your lord Yuan Shu will have to treat him like Xiao He!
