Chapter 722: Ma Teng first, Yuan Shu later
Lin Feng looked at Chen Gong with a smile and asked, "Sir, what good ideas do you have? Please tell me quickly."
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also looked at Chen Gong with curiosity. They wanted to see what tricks the general had when he was newly appointed military advisor.
Chen Gong glanced at Lin Feng, then at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and said with a smile: "This plan is not very clever, it's just a surprise attack tactic."
"Surprise attack?" Lin Feng didn't understand: "What's the surprise attack?"
Chen Gong smiled and said, "Of course, it was a surprise attack on Yuan Shu."
"A surprise attack on Yuan Shu's rear?!"
When Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heard this, they said in surprise: "Military advisor, Yuan Shu has thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Is it too much for us to attack them?"
Chen Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "Our purpose this time is not to capture the city, but to plunder food and grass for winter."
"And Yuan Shu is arrogant and arrogant, and he always looks down upon other forces, especially after Hulao Pass, they think that you are just a false reputation, so they despise you. If we can take advantage of the moment and launch a sudden attack on Yuan Shu, the other side will be in chaos and we will definitely succeed!"
Lin Feng looked at Chen Gong's swearing look and said without even thinking about it: "Okay, I'll go back to reorganize the army now and attack Yuan Shu at night tonight!"
When Chen Gong heard Lin Feng's words, he quickly shook his head. He stopped him and said, "It's not necessary for the general to take action personally. You only need to send one general and ten thousand cavalrymen."
When Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heard this, they immediately stepped forward and clasped their fists and asked for their orders: "General, the last general is willing to lead 10,000 cavalry to fight!"
Chen Gong looked at Zhang and Gao and smiled at Lin Feng and said, "Lord, Wen Yuan and General Gao are both brave enough to be unworthy. I think any of them can win."
Lin Feng touched his chin and thought for a while, then said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, I will send you here this time. Are you confident of making contributions?"
Zhang Liao looked excited and raised his head and said loudly: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely be the military advisor's order. If you can't, you will kill my head!"
Lin Feng shook his head, looked at Zhang Liao with a serious look, and said with a smile: "I don't want any of you to die. I just hope that all of me, Lu Bu, can live for me!"
Zhang Liao was moved by Lin Feng's words. He bowed to Lin Feng solemnly again, and then walked towards the military camp with great strides.
Looking at Zhang Liao's back as he was leaving, Chen Gong turned around and said to Lin Feng: "Lord, don't worry, General Zhang will definitely be able to achieve success this time. Let's talk about the situation in the army first. I think as a military advisor, I should first understand my own situation."
Lin Feng nodded, then gave a wink at Gao Shun, who understood and dealt with the captured fine works alone, and at the same time strengthened patrols to prevent other fine works from taking advantage of the opportunity to catch fish in troubled waters.
Lin Feng made a call, and then smiled and said, "Sir, let's talk while walking."
Chen Gong had no objection. He followed Lin Feng's pace and waited for Lin Feng to speak first.
Lin Feng didn't shy away from anything and told his situation. "Since the successful assassination of Dong Zhuo that day, I have sent someone to accept all Dong Zhuo's troops. In addition to all my original ones, the total strength is now 120,000, including 50,000 infantry and 70,000 cavalry."
Speaking of this, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Sir, I am good at cavalry fighting in Xiliang, so there are relatively fewer infantry soldiers."
Chen Gong nodded and said with some emotion: "The Xiliang soldiers are good at riding and shooting. This is known to everyone in the world and is also a great benefit. For us, it is an extremely favorable condition. The powerful mobility can give us enough control of the battlefield. We can decide whether to stay, fight, sneak attack, or guard."
Lin Feng felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, so he made a call, and then smiled and said, "What Mr. said makes sense, please continue."
Chen Gong continued to analyze the current situation for Lin Feng, "Now the world is in chaos, and there are constant disputes among many princes. Among them, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have prominent families, four generations and three masters, and a large land of grain. Liu Biao in Jingzhou occupied natural dangers, with more than 100,000 naval troops, Cao Cao in Yanzhou was also a hero of the times, as well as Liu Zhang who occupied Sichuan, Ma Teng in Xiliang, etc., for us, they are all strong enemies."
"With sir, how should we act in the future?" Lin Feng asked with a smile. This was to give Chen Gong a test question.
A good strategist can know the major events in the world when he goes out and can formulate a very rigorous plan based on the situation.
Chen Gong obviously had already been confident. He raised his head and said with a smile: "I can take Ma Teng, Xiliang, and then Yuan Shu, using this as a basis, so that we can move forward and retreat freely, and can entrench the Central Plains. Once the situation changes, we can react immediately."
"Oh? Why did you take Ma Teng first, instead of Han Fu, who is closer to us and weaker than us?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Chen Gong said without thinking: "Xiliang is the rear of our army. If our rear is uncertain, we can use troops outside at will in the future. This is one of them. Like the general, Xiliang Ma Teng is mostly good at fighting cavalry. If he can swallow them, our mobility will be greatly increased again, which will be of great help to our future military use."
"And if we can conquer Ma Teng, it will be easy for us to use troops against Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is just a famous person, arrogant and arrogant, and is definitely not the enemy of the lord. If we have these two places to gain a foothold, we can plan to Xuzhou when we advance, and retreat can bring peace to ourselves."
Lin Feng thought about the current situation, then combined it with Chen Gong's views, and finally came to the conclusion that this method was feasible.
If they can occupy the power of Ma Teng and Yuan Shu, their advantage will be much better than they are now.
"Sir, this is a clever plan. I will go back to reorganize the army and then rush to Xiliang." Lin Feng nodded and said.
Chen Gong didn't expect Lin Feng to be so fast. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Okay, soldiers are the most powerful. If the lord can trust you, you can leave 20,000 infantry soldiers. I will protect the safety of Chang'an City."
Lin Feng looked at Chen Gong without saying anything.
Chen Gong was also a little nervous. He was afraid that there were only ones who asked for military power when he met for the first time.
Just when Chen Gong was very nervous, Lin Feng finally spoke, "This time I went to Xiliang, I not only want to give you 20,000 infantrymen, but also leave you the remaining 80,000 soldiers."
"How many people will the lord bring?" Chen Gong asked in surprise.
Lin Feng smiled and pointed at himself, saying, "I am enough!"
