Everyone stared at each other.
Cao Chun's face was filled with joy as he said," Chancellor, do you mean that you have a way to bridge the gap in military strength?"”
Chen Xuan nodded.
"There are visible and invisible soldiers.
"The visible soldiers are those who wield halberds and spears.
"Invisible weapons, sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, vegetation, wind, cloud, water, fire.”
He suddenly remembered Zhuge Liang's words when he faced Lu Su.
Using it at this moment was also suitable for the occasion, allowing him to put on a show.
"High!"
"Truly impressive!"
Before Chen Xuan could finish his sentence, everyone gasped with their mouths agape. They were stunned as they listened, their eyes staring at Chen Xuan in a daze.
Then, they all nodded slightly, as if they had gained something.
Chen Xuan still had an indifferent look on his face. He ignored everyone's expressions and said,"
"In this battle, we can use water as a weapon.
"It's the dry season now, and the spring flood won't come for a long time.
"This river is over two hundred steps wide, but only about four feet deep.
"The water level is already much lower than the riverbed.
"If we raise the dam and block it for two days, the water level downstream can drop to two feet, which can entice the Western Liang Army to cross the river.
"But once we open the dam, the water level will continue to rise for two hours, reaching a depth of eight to ten feet.
"And the riverbed is only eight or nine feet high.
"The west side of the river is higher, while the east side is lower.
"In other words, the water will overflow the riverbed and flow towards Luoyang.
"About two hours later, the water in the dam will be drained and the water level will gradually return to four feet.”
Zhao Yun's surprise was written on her face," How did Chancellor know that the water level of Chanhe River would drop to two feet after the dam was blocked for two days?
"And how do we know that once we release it, the water level will reach seven feet deep and can be maintained for two hours?”
Cao Cao chuckled." Zilong doesn't know.”
"Taia and I have already sent people to the Chanhe River to dam it and verify the water flow.
"As for these two feet, seven feet, eight feet, two hours, and so on, they are all the results of Tai Ah's calculations.”
Cao Chun was so shocked that his eyeballs were about to fall out," Chancellor's calculation method can even calculate the depth of the water flow?!”
The others were also shocked.
Chen Xuan nodded silently.
Wasn't this just a matter of filling the water in the pool in the sixth grade of primary school?
A problem that any elementary school student could solve.
Of course, his calculations couldn't be that accurate, and he couldn't pursue engineering precision.
However, as long as he could simplify the complicated problem and calculate that the water was enough for him, it was enough.
The only thing he needed to pay attention to was controlling the speed of the water flow so that the Chanhe River was two to three feet shallow.
It didn't arouse any suspicion, and it was enough to cross the river.
This was very important.
"Chancellor is really a god!" Cao Hong cupped his hands at Chen Xuan to express his shock.
Cao Ren nodded and clapped his hands in praise.
"Mountains, rivers, vegetation, wind, cloud, water, fire, all can be used as weapons!
"Chancellor's use of troops is truly superb, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. He's truly a first-class genius in the world!
"I don't know if you guys are convinced or not, but in any case, I, Cao Zixiao, am completely convinced of Chancellor today!”
When Cao Chun heard this, he snorted." Eldest Brother, are you only convinced now?
"I was already convinced when I took over Lishui Pass!”
Xiahou Dun laughed as well." Zihe, you don't have to say. I've long been convinced.
"You guys don't know, but as long as I look at the Chancellor's confident face, I feel from the bottom of my heart that we will definitely not lose!”
Everyone laughed in agreement.
Zhao Yun's gaze was fixed on the sand table.
He seemed to be thinking about how to use the ambush and water attack strategy that Chen Xuan had mentioned.
He suddenly pinched the string representing Chanhe and said,"
"According to Chancellor's plan, we should first store water and wait for half of Dong Zhuo's army to cross the Chan River before attacking them with water to split Dong Zhuo's army in half.
"Because the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the water will flow to the east.
"Therefore, we have to ambush them west of Chanhe.
"After we split Dong Zhuo's army, we'll lead our troops to attack and catch them off guard.
"In this case, we have 16,000 men, and Dong Zhuo's army on the west coast only has 30,000 to 40,000 men.
"Moreover, we are prepared for battle.
"Dong Zhuo's army didn't get into formation in the first place, and they couldn't get into formation in a short time because of the flood.
"Thirdly, once the flood comes, the roads will be muddy, and the Western Liang cavalry will not be able to do anything.
"In this way, our greatest disadvantage against the Western Liang army has been eliminated.
"What a brilliant plan…"
As Zhao Yun spoke, she held the flag and wooden pawn and deduced on the sand table. Her analysis was clear and logical. In the end, she looked at the sand table in a daze and slowly nodded.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun in surprise.
The hand that was stroking his beard had stopped long ago.
He really didn't expect that Zhao Yun, a 50-man captain, not only was his martial prowess commendable, but he also had insight into the way of using troops.
Every step that Zhao Yun spoke of was exactly the same as what he had analyzed last night.
Just like him, they had also analyzed the destructive power of water attacks against Western Liang's cavalry.
Of course, in the end, it would be the same as last night, negated by Chen Xuan's final arrangement.
The others looked at Zhao Yun's deduction on the sand table and nodded in agreement with Zhao Yun's analysis.
Chen Xuan and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled.
"Everyone, you're thinking too simply.
"Just the ambush and the water attack.
"It's still not enough to withstand the difference in strength between us and the Western Liang Army.”
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly as he spoke.
"..." Everyone was stunned and fell silent.
Chen Xuan gave Zhao Yun an encouraging look and said,"
"If there were fewer people on the other side, or if the person leading the army wasn't Dong Zhuo.
"That Zilong's deduction just now was undoubtedly above average.
"But there are more than sixty thousand people on the other side, including laborers and slaves, there are more than a hundred thousand.
"The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo is personally leading the army.
"After Dong Zhuo entered Luo, he became muddle-headed and tyrannical.
"But no matter what, he is still a veteran general who has been fighting for more than twenty years.
"We can't underestimate him like this.
"Firstly, his prestige in the Western Liang army is unparalleled.
"Secondly, his ability to deal with emergencies must be far stronger than we imagined.
"Even if he is not as strong as we think.
"We have to guard against this.
" So we have to prepare for it.
"To prevent him from quickly organizing his troops after the chaos and giving us a fatal blow.
"If he can really organize it.
"Then, when faced with the Western Liang army that far outnumbers us and we have no way to escape.
"We can only say defeat.
"Remember, we're taking a risk by leaving our troops behind.
"Since we're taking risks, we have to think of all possibilities and make plans at the same time.”
Everyone was enlightened.
They seemed to have underestimated Dong Zhuo.
" There's a third…" Chen Xuan paused and looked around at the generals. He seemed to be hesitating if he should say it.
The generals followed Chen Xuan's gaze. They looked at each other before finally looking at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan looked at Cao Cao again and pursed his lips,
"I'm not trying to humiliate the generals.
"It's just that the true strength of our army isn't as strong as you think.
"Everyone, remember-
"Pride comes before defeat."
Chen Xuanyan was dismissed.
Other than Zhao Yun who was deep in thought, the other generals were all stunned.
For a moment, all the generals fell silent.
It was exactly as Chen Xuan said.
They had won consecutively, and each battle was won easily.
It could even be said that they were a little mesmerized by the victory.
They asked themselves, and they had indeed underestimated their enemy.
After Chen Xuan reminded them, they remembered a fact: Before they met Chen Xuan, their soldiers were basically a bunch of new recruits!
Although the old soldiers of Western Liang had been incorporated into the various departments, they were not completely used to each other and could not be used as they wished.
Chen Xuan took in the expressions of the generals.
The generals had already taken this matter seriously, so the purpose of his words had been achieved.
The reason why arrogant soldiers were bound to lose was because they underestimated the enemy.
As long as they didn't underestimate the enemy, they wouldn't be arrogant anymore.
The reason why he wanted to wake the generals up was because he could not be careless in the upcoming battle.
As long as there was a mistake in one step, the whole game would be lost.
After all, it was 16,000 against 100,000 people. The margin of error was too low.
It was also Cao Cao's idea that he said it.
"However, don't underestimate yourself.
"The morale of the army is built through fighting.
"Our ten thousand new soldiers, after winning these few battles, their morale and morale are far from what they were when we first arrived at the Wild Jujube Alliance.
"Just like the other generals.
"After consecutive victories, many of our soldiers are extremely excited and confident because they have won every battle.
"This kind of blind confidence is a bad thing for a general.
"But it's a good thing for the soldiers.”
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he moved the six little people on the Chanhe River ten miles east.
"Using water attacks alone is not enough to close the gap between us and the Western Liang army.
"Therefore, if we set up an ambush here, Dong Zhuo will lose.”
The generals followed Chen Xuan's hand and looked at the sand table.
"Upper Woods Park."
"Upper Woods Park?"
It was obvious from the sand table that Upper Forest Park was lower than Chanhe River.
Was he trying to drown himself?
