"Sun Jian's army is defeated. Vertex novels are updated the fastest"
Yuan Shao sat in his seat and said to the princes and people who were sitting down.
His voice was a bit dignified. Sun Jianjun was a rare and elite unit among the princes. It was really unacceptable for him to be defeated so easily by Dong Zhuojun.
Many of the troops of the princes present here were formed temporarily, and some of them were even on the battlefield for the first time. Compared with Sun Jian's army, the combat power was much worse than that of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army.
Yuan Shao's words silenced the audience, and those who knew the reasons for Sun Jian's defeat felt a little bit chilled.
No one wants to lead the army, and there are still people who are behind the scenes.
Cao Cao sighed while sitting on his seat. As for what he was sighing, everyone who heard it knew clearly.
Going on like this, this coalition of princes is a joke.
"Everyone, do you have a plan to defeat Hua Xiong?"
Yuan Shao asked, but no one answered.
In addition to the princes from all walks of life, all the princes from all walks of life are present here, and there are also the subordinates of the princes from all walks of life. Maybe someone has a solution, but I don't want to say it yet.
Maybe they want to wait and wait until the coalition forces are really in trouble before using it to seek the greatest benefit.
After a long while, there was no sound, and Yuan Shao's expression turned ugly.
Just when he was about to say something more, a somewhat dull voice sounded.
"Yuan Gong, there may be a strategy available."
Yuan Shao's face brightened. If he didn't need to do it himself, he would naturally not be prepared to do it, even though he might have the ability to defeat Hua Xiong.
The main force in Dong Zhuo's army was not Hua Xiong, if too much was spent on him, how would he accumulate strength to seek Dong Zhuo's strength.
Now he said loudly: "Just now, I wonder if that gentleman said it?"
It was Gu Nan who was sitting next to Cao Cao who spoke.
Cao Cao panicked when he heard Gu Nan's voice, and quickly said softly, "Sir."
Gu Nan put his hand on Cao Cao's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, general, let me help you fight."
Cao Cao has been worrying about the lack of troops in his hands for the past few days, and she can see that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are not many, but they are not many.
Five thousand recruits are really not of much use in the battle of these hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Yuan Gong, I said what I said just now." Gu Nan smiled, stood up and walked to the hall.
Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man in white robes walking up the hall, but for some reason he was wearing a bamboo hat, making it hard to see his appearance.
"Ah, this is Mr. Caozhi. He wears a bamboo hat because he had a facial injury in his early years."
Cao Cao saw Gu Nan walking up, but there was no way to stop him, so he could only bite the bullet and explain to Gu Nan.
"Hahaha, okay, so it's Meng De's adviser, sir, you just broke Hua Xiong's plan, can you elaborate?"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, looked at Gu Nan and asked, with a humble attitude.
Naturally, his attitude was good. He looked at Gu Nan at this moment, as if he was looking at someone who had been taken advantage of.
Breaking Huaxiong is really a thankless effort.
If no one made a move, then he, the lord, would have to do it himself. Now that someone made a move, he would naturally be able to sit and watch.
Gu Nan didn't care what Yuan Shao was thinking, and gave a slight salute with a light smile.
"Duke Yuan, listen to me."
There was silence in the hall, Cao Cao secretly pinched the corner of his clothes with his hands, he didn't know what he meant when he told him before going up to fight for him.
Looking around at the people who were sitting, the hall was almost full of people, Gu Nan said.
"Most of Hua Xiong's troops are sharp cavalry from Xiliang. They are good at attacking in the wild. They advance and retreat well, and attack quickly. Therefore, fighting in the wild is naturally difficult."
After Gu Nan finished speaking, many people who were working nodded their heads. This was also their concern, because even if they could defeat Huaxiong, they would consume a lot of troops.
And because it is Qingqi, it is difficult to keep Hua Xiong.
"So surround and annihilate them."
Everyone raised their eyes and said lightly, the difficulty of Qingqi is that it cannot be surrounded, fast forward and fast back, and run away after hitting. If it can be surrounded, how can it be such a headache
"As for how to encircle them." Gu Nan smiled lightly: "Hua Xiong is now defeating Sun Taishou's army, his morale is at its peak, and he wants to defeat the princes again. You can lead an army to fight first, retreat after the defeat, and lead Hua Xiong deep Deploy military headquarters on both sides, wait for Huaxiong to go deep, and surround and kill his army."
The hall fell silent, and everyone frowned.
After a while, Yuan Shao looked at Gu Nan, and asked slowly: "Sir, Hua Xiong is a heavy general in Xiliang, if Hua Xiong doesn't believe in the tactics of feigning defeat, wouldn't it mean that the soldiers were defeated for nothing?"
The strategy of feigning defeat to lure the enemy can be said to be crude, and it works wonders for the new army, but it should have no effect for the Xiliang army.
"How can you say that you are pretending to be defeated, but you are really defeated." Gu Nan said aloud.
The people present were startled, and then there was a burst of whispering voices, as if they were guessing whether the gentleman was crazy.
"What do you mean, sir?" Yuan Shao didn't hear clearly, and even Cao Cao thought he had heard it wrong.
"I don't know if Mr. Yuan knows the Xuanpang Formation?" Looking at Yuan Shu, Gu Nan asked.
Xuan Nang Formation, this is a false formation to confuse the enemy. The formations are very spaced, the majority of flags, the continuous sound of drums, the sound of imitating the marching of military vehicles, and the noise of infantry, as if the number of troops is huge, and various methods are used to deceive the enemy.
"Mysterious bag array?"
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, but he had never heard of this formation, and his face was inevitably a little ashamed, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Yuan Shao's appearance, Gu Nan knew that he didn't know, so he didn't want to embarrass him, so he didn't ask any more, and answered himself.
"The Xuannang formation is one of Sun Bin's ten formations. The outer army is closely arranged to cover the inner army. The inner army arrays are scattered and staggered to expand the army formation. The chariot drums are set inside to simulate the sound of heavy troops marching. Soldiers make noise to confuse the enemy and make them believe that there is a large army."
Sun Tzu's Art of War was not so widely circulated in this era. The books at this time were cherished, and the book was hidden in everyone's study.
After explaining, under Yuan Shao's thankful eyes, Gu Nan continued.
"Yuan Gong can march a small army in the Xuanpang formation, led by a group of princes, so that Hua Xiong thinks that a heavy army is coming to attack. After Hua Xiong breaks through the Xuanpang formation, the army is defeated, and then the soldiers throw away their helmets and armor, and gather the crowd to flee. Make the army The formation is reduced, and the mess everywhere looks like a rout of an army."
"So, Hua Xiong will definitely come after him. I heard that General Gongsun has an army who is good at riding and shooting?"
As he spoke, the white-clothed man in the hall turned around to look at a white-faced general sitting on the right, which was Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
A smile appeared on Gongsun Zan's face, he knew what it meant, it was to take his share.
Although breaking Huaxiong is not a great achievement, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so why not take it easily
"Yes, my subordinate Baima Yiconglun's riding and shooting will never lose to the Liangzhou army."
"Okay, then please ask General Gongsun to lead the army to stop Hua Xiong from fleeing."
"Leave it to me." Gongsun Zan said with a smile, anyone would accept such an errand.
"As for the encircling and suppressing armies on both sides, I ask Mr. Yuan to make a decision." Gu Nan bowed to Yuan Shao, as if about to leave.
But she didn't move, and she didn't seem to plan to leave yet. Yuan Shao would definitely keep her, because there was one thing he didn't say.
"Sir." Yuan Shao stopped Gu Nan as expected, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Sir, there is one more thing, please give me your advice."
Gu Nan stopped in his tracks, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Mr. Yuan, please tell me."
"Sir, which one do you think can be used as an army to lure the enemy?" Yuan Shao said with a perplexed look.
The Xiliang cavalry army is good at chasing, and the speed when chasing the enemy is so fast that people have nowhere to escape.
Under such circumstances, the part of the army that lures the enemy must suffer great losses, and the life of the leader is also in danger. No one wants to be part of this army.
No matter who Yuan Shao appoints, he will offend the princes. He doesn't want to be a villain, so naturally he has to let Gu Nan decide.
"This." Gu Nan seemed to be deliberating for a while, looked at himself and then at the crowd, after a long time, he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and said generously.
"It's the righteousness of the world to hunt down the Dong bandits, so what if I dedicate myself to them? Yuan Gong, I can pretend to be a prince to lead the army, so why not die?"
The faces of the four people changed, some of them were stunned and some admired. Cao Cao's face turned pale, and he was about to stand up to stop him, but he saw that Gu Nan seemed to be gesturing for him to be calm and not to be impatient. Endure and continue to sit.
"This person is really a great talent, and he is in a high position. If I can, I really want to have a talk with him."
A man in ordinary clothes sitting behind the crowd looked at the man in white with reverence on his face. He looked a little ordinary, the only thing that stood out was his pair of lop ears.
However, the two people standing beside this person are both very handsome, one is nine feet tall, with a red face and long beard.
A black-faced thick-browed man with a rough beard.
The black-faced man heard what the people around him said, and said in a muffled voice: "Since elder brother said so, I will remember this person's appearance, and I will catch you to speak when the time comes."
"Third brother, don't do this, isn't this disturbing sir!"
"Okay! Then sir will lead the army!"
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard Gu Nan's words, and then he looked ashamed, and the way he looked at Gu Nan changed a little.
People are selfish, and there are very few people who give up their lives for righteousness, but because they can't do it themselves, people will always admire such people.
"But." Gu Nan, who was standing in the hall, said with some hesitation.
"What's the matter, Mister? Just tell me if you have something to do, and Shaoding will give you an answer." Yuan Shao's tone unconsciously carried a bit of concern.
"Yuan Gong, I am under the command of General Cao. General Cao has only five thousand troops in his hands, so it is really difficult to carry out a black bag formation."
As Gu Nan said, he bowed down: "I hope that Yuan Gong will borrow troops to defeat Hua Xiong!"
This is Gu Nan's purpose, to use the troops of the princes to gain momentum and take Cao Cao's strength in the first battle.
