Chapter 261
They were all military commanders, and perhaps some of them were simple-minded and reckless, but they were all familiar with the art of war.
Therefore, they all realized that Cao Ang was using the art of war to lure the enemy into submission, which made those powerful families take the initiative to jump out.
And Cao Ang took advantage of the situation and took advantage of this opportunity to capture all the powerful families.
But before that, they still need to put on a show to make those aristocratic families think that they have succeeded...
Thinking of this, all the generals bowed and said, "We are stupid. I am willing to listen to the orders of the general. Please give me the order on what to do next.
We will go through fire and water and die!"
"We are willing to follow the general and bring 300 years of peace and tranquility to our descendants!"
At this moment, in Cao Ang's general's mansion, the voices resounded and the heroic spirit soared into the sky...
After the voices of these generals gradually stopped, Cao Ang smiled and waved his hand: "All you need to do next is to put on a good show with me in front of those worldly families."
"If I'm right, the Sima family's attack is just a beginning and bait.
Once I send elite troops from Xudu to reinforce Henei County, the Sima family will at most abandon some insignificant peasants and civilians who are kept in the dark, and secretly withdraw all the strength they have accumulated over the years and the private soldiers they have raised.
Henei County has the advantage of a plain in front and Taihang Mountain in the back, so the vast Taihang Mountains are the natural hiding place for the Sima family and other powerful families in Henei County.
These As early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the noble families had already run manors and fortresses in the mountains.
Those fortresses were built on steep hills, and there was often only one way to attack them. They were extremely difficult and steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The noble families stored food and grass that could last for ten years, as well as a large number of bows and arrows to defend the city.
Even in the fortresses, the ground was often dug to form mountain springs, so there was no need to worry about the water source.
This is one of the reasons why these Henei County noble families dared to make such a riot and oppose me. ”
“So, even if we really want to deal with these noble families in Taiyuan County and Henei County with Taihang Mountain as their backs, If they are drawn into their own garrisons, it will be a battle that consumes time and morale. ”
“Therefore, I require the generals sent to Hanoi County and Taiyuan County to be flexible. If the rebels are on the plains, they can take advantage of the situation to kill them and defeat or even annihilate them.0
However, once the elite soldiers and private soldiers of the noble families retreat into the mountains, or even join forces with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and rely on the fortresses in the mountains to defend against danger, they cannot be attacked by force.
Instead, they can pretend to be besieged and have no way to deal with it, but they must also be careful of the enemy's sneak attacks from the dark.
So the degree of this is relatively difficult to grasp.
I don't know if the generalsWho is sure of this?"
After listening to Cao Ang's words, the generals who had just been vying for orders in the lobby of the General's Mansion fell into deep thought.
It was not that they retreated, but when they learned about Cao Ang's ideas and goals, and that there was a high possibility of a protracted mountain war with the private soldiers of the noble families, they were worried that their 1.1 ability was insufficient and their lack of mountain war experience would ruin the general's plan.
At this moment, among the generals, Zhang Liao suddenly stood up: "General, I am willing to take orders and go!
Although I am from Yanmen County, a border area, it is also adjacent to Taiyuan County, and many of my soldiers are good at mountain warfare.
Among the generals present, there is no one more suitable than me..."
