Chapter 464: I enter the game with my body, I will surely win half a move against heaven!【4】

~5 min read 950 words

Outside Yongshi County.

Two days had passed since the army set off from Jixian.

At this time, the army had reached Yongshi County on the far west side of Hanyang Commandery.

Further ahead was Yuzhong in Jincheng Commandery.

Inside the county government of Yongshi County.

Dozens of torches lit up the county government brightly.

Duan Yu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the generals of the commandery were all in the main hall of the county government.

The magistrate of Yongshi County was leading a group of officials to place hot food on the desk.

However, Duan Yu and the others didn't sit down to eat, but gathered around a huge map.

"It is reported that the Western Qiang tribes are currently besieging Yunwu County."

"As long as Yunwu is broken, the entire Jincheng Commandery will be finished."

"The Shaodang Qiang has gathered more than a dozen Qiang tribes, and more Qiang tribes are joining. Besides that, there are the Huangzhong Yicong and other miscellaneous Hu tribes like the Xiutu."

Duan Yu said while looking at the map.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both listening to the side.

Duan Yu continued: "Originally, according to my vision, the army would be divided into front, middle, and rear to take the initiative, with the vanguard cavalry launching a surprise attack on the Qiang tribes."

"But now we are passive."

"Intelligence shows that one day ago, the rebel army had already tricked open Jincheng, and the Jincheng Military Supervisor Bian Yun and Han Yue had surrendered one after another."

"If we want to reach Yunwu now, we must conquer Jincheng."

"Otherwise, the Western Qiang could cut off our army's retreat at any time."

"But if we spend too much time in Jincheng, Yunwu will definitely not be saved." Duan Yu said with a grave expression.

Yuan Shao to the side gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn Liang Hu, if it weren't for him, how could the Jincheng Prefect, Chen Yi, have died."

"If Chen Yi hadn't died, how could the Western Qiang have so easily broken the city and plundered the territory."

"And that Liangzhou Administrator Cheng Qiu, this damn dog thing, if I catch him, I must tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "This dog thing, because he was afraid of death, actually surrendered to the Western Qiang and tricked open the city gates!"

Cao Cao shook his head silently to the side and said: "In front of us is Yuzhong, and past Yuzhong is Jincheng. The terrain here is narrow, and it's impossible to bypass it."

"Once the army's grain is cut off, and we are blocked in front and behind, we will be turtles in a jar, defeated without attacking."

"Except for a forced attack on Jincheng, the only other option is to take a detour."

"But if we take Longxi Commandery, even with cavalry, it will take ten days or half a month."

"Yunwu County has no one to sit in charge, and it won't last that long."

Duan Yu's gaze was fixed on the map in front of him.

Everyone in the room was worried.

Yunwu was the seat of Jincheng Commandery and also the city with the largest population, about ten thousand people.

And as long as Yunwu was broken, the cities broken by the Western Qiang would basically form a line.

They could attack or defend, and if they couldn't defend, they could escape.

The reason why they couldn't deal a devastating blow to the Qiang tribes in the past was that the Qiang tribes would escape if they couldn't win.

As long as they fled toward the Western Regions, they basically couldn't be caught.

With such a large territory, they couldn't be caught, and they couldn't be found. This was the trouble.

After a while, Duan Yu, who was staring at the map, made a decision in his heart.

"I have a way, but it requires a risky move."

"But if it succeeds, it is possible to wipe out these dozen or so tribes of the Shaodang Qiang in one go!" Duan Yu said in a deep voice.

Huh?

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both looked at Duan Yu.

"Ziyi, what is your good plan?" Yuan Shao asked.

Duan Yu shook his head and said: "I don't have a good plan, but I have a life-risking strategy."

Duan Yu reached out and pointed at the direction of Jincheng on the map: "Although the army cannot bypass Jincheng."

"But a small number of troops can."

"I will personally lead a cavalry force and bypass Jincheng!"

Cao Cao immediately shook his head: "No."

"Ziyi, the Western Qiang have more than a dozen tribes, and the number of rebel soldiers is tens of thousands. Even if you lead a small number of cavalry to bypass it, what can you do?"

"In the case of a surprise attack, two or three thousand cavalry might have a miraculous effect, but in this situation, the rebel soldiers must have been prepared long ago."

"Even if you go with two or three thousand cavalry, Ziyi, it will be of no avail." Cao Cao said negatively.

Yuan Shao also nodded to the side: "Yes, Ziyi, Mengde is right. In this way, you will be in danger instead."

Duan Yu shook his head and said: "No."

"My idea is that I will only take one thousand cavalry."

One thousand?

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both stunned. Two or three thousand wouldn't work, let alone one thousand.

"Benchu, Mengde, listen to my plan first."

Duan Yu thought carefully and said: "Even if we break Jincheng, Yunwu will not have been broken by the rebel soldiers by then."
