Zhao Yun looked at Sun Jian in surprise.
If it was an ordinary lord, even if he wasn't angry, his expression would still be unhappy when he heard this!
However, when he looked at Sun Jian, he saw that there was no anger on Sun Jian's face. Instead, there was only curiosity on his face. He asked,
"Military counselor, how do you build a plank road in the open and secretly travel in the dark?”
The generals also looked at Baili Ming.
How could a simple crossing of the river make the military counselor play tricks?
Facing everyone's different gazes, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"To cross the Yellow River, we still need a map. Men, bring me the map of the east of Luoyang!”
After the person outside the tent agreed, it didn't take long for him to bring in a map. On it was the general terrain of the east of Luoyang.
Baili Ming came to the map and pointed at it, analyzing,"
"Everyone, look at the current situation!"
"Right now, our army and Dong Zhuo's army are confronting each other around Luoyang!”
"Two hundred thousand alliance troops and one hundred and fifty thousand Dong Zhuo troops are confronting each other in Mushui Pass.”
"Apart from that, Dong Zhuo needs to be on guard. First, he needs to fight against Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the other Western Liang dukes.”
"This place is Dong Zhuo's nest, so he doesn't dare to transfer his troops.”
"I estimate that there are no less than thirty thousand people here.”
"At the same time, Dong Zhuo's troops from the east of the river are in full swing. He doesn't dare to mobilize them easily. There are about twenty thousand soldiers here!”
"In this way, Dong Zhuo has confirmed that he has 200,000 soldiers.”
"As for Hulao Pass, Wuguan Pass, Dagu Pass, Hangu Pass, Tongguan Pass, Qianyuan Pass, Xuanmen Pass, and the other passes, they have deployed at least forty to fifty thousand men!”
"Adding on the forces that were destroyed and annexed by our army, I estimate that Dong Zhuo's active forces will not exceed ten thousand cavalry!”
"However, in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo cannot easily give up the Yellow River defense line.”
"And the Yellow River defense line, the only one that can allow the army to cross is Mengjin Pass!”
"Therefore, Dong Zhuo's army must be stationed around Meng Jin!”
"That's why I concluded that we can't cross this Mengjin. If we cross it, we'll definitely be attacked halfway!”
As the generals in the tent listened, they were unconsciously entranced.
This was the first time that even Zhao Yun had such a clear understanding of Dong Zhuo's military deployment, and she couldn't help but nod her head.
Just his ability to analyze and his ability as a strategist could not be underestimated.
Only Sun Jian heard this and frowned.
"I have my concerns about what you said, Military Advisor. However, other than Mengjin, there is no other ferry that can accommodate the army to cross south!”
"Just now, military counselor, you could have crossed anywhere on the west side.”
"Then we'll go straight into the pass!"
When the generals heard this, they nodded again.
This was a big problem. If they really went to Pu Ban City, they would have gone deep into the enemy's rear, never to return!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Everyone is bound by themselves!"
"Why do we need to cross the river together?”
"Isn't this attacking the enemy's strength with your own weakness?”
"Everyone, you must know that our army has forty thousand men, while the enemy only has ten thousand men to guard against.”
"Thus, our army can split up and cross the river. Today, we can send 3,000 soldiers, tomorrow, we can send 5,000 soldiers.”
"Putting aside the fact that it is difficult for the enemy to discover him, even if he did, could it be that he could defend the banks of the Yellow River?”
"If he dares to pursue us from a hundred miles away, our army will immediately cross the river from Mengjin!”
"If he doesn't dare to pursue, then in just a few days, our entire army will be able to cross the river!”
"In this way, won't the Yellow River be crossed?”
Ah, this?
So there was such a river crossing method!
When the generals heard this, they felt that their horizons were broadened.
Since ancient times, crossing the river had always been a small breakthrough, and one had to cross it all in one go.
Why would they be like this? They would take advantage of the fact that the enemy forces were insufficient and slowly cross south!
Such a method of crossing the river would probably be difficult to injure a single soldier. The enemy had no way of doing so!
Sun Jian immediately praised,
"Military advisor, this plan is feasible. If we use this plan, our army will definitely be able to cross the river safely!”
As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed across his brows.
"However, there is one point. After our army crosses the river, our forces are still few, but we are discovered by the enemy and suddenly attacked.”
"Then, a large portion of our army can cross the river. Could it be that this small portion has been lost?”
When the generals heard this, they all looked at Baili Ming.
Seeing this, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"I have also considered this matter. Therefore, when our army crosses the river, we must do our best not to be discovered by the enemy.”
"First, feign an attack on the east of the river and let the enemy think that our army is taking advantage of the chaos to attack the east of the river.”
"On the surface, we want to attack the east of the river, but in fact, we are slowly crossing south!”
"This is an open path but a secret path!”
"Secondly, when our army crosses the river in different directions, we should cross the river at night. We can keep the armor and pretend to be civilians crossing the south. After crossing the south, we can gather at Beimang Mountain.“
"In this way, even if we occasionally discover it a few times, the enemy won't notice anything unusual!”
"Good!"
When Sun Jian heard this, he laughed and said,"
"Advisor Jun's plan is flawless. You're overthinking it!”
The generals were overjoyed.
In this way, the matter of crossing the river would be resolved!
The only thing left was what to do after crossing the river!
Dian Wei looked at the map of Luoyang and said in a deep voice,"
"Military Advisor, there is Beimang Mountain in the north of Luoyang. Although we have crossed the Yellow River, there are still two passes, Little Pingjin Pass and Mengjin Pass!”
"Which pass should our army take to enter Luoyang?"
When Han Dang heard this, he looked at the map and thought,"
"Military advisor, since Dong Zhuo wants to move the capital, why don't our army take Little Pingjin Pass first and block Dong Zhuo's way?”
The generals looked at the map and nodded their heads. Only Baili Ming shook his head and said,
"You mustn't!"
"This is an act to alert the enemy. If our army takes down Xiaopingjin Pass and cuts off Dong Zhuo's escape route, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will abandon the vassal army and charge straight for our pass!”
"At the same time, the enemy will block our retreat in the direction of Mengjin Pass. If Niu Fu sends troops from the east of the river, our army will immediately be surrounded and fight with our backs to the wall!“
Everyone was shocked.
But thinking about it carefully, it was indeed so!
Once they crossed the river, although they occupied the key terrain, in a sense, they would be deep in the enemy's rear and it would be extremely dangerous!
Sun Jian hurriedly said,
"Then what should we do according to your plan?”
"Don't tell me our army is going to pretend to be Dong Zhuo and escape?”
"Of course not!"
Baili Ming said seriously,
"After our army crosses the river, it will be a surprise attack.”
"Only when Dong Zhuo moves the capital can our army take the initiative to attack!”
Zhao Cen saw that everyone was discussing enthusiastically, so he mustered up his courage and said,
"Then Military Advisor, are we not going to do anything before Dong Zhuo moves the capital?”
Everyone was surprised to see Zhao Cen speaking for the first time, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, they looked at Baili Ming.
The meaning in their eyes was very clear. Just like Zhao Cen, were they going to do nothing after crossing the river?
When Baili Ming heard this, he laughed again and pointed at the map.
"Of course not!"
"While our army is waiting, you can send a troop over Northern Mang Mountain and come here!”
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and saw that there was a tributary west of Pingjin Pass called Chanhe River, which was considered one of the tributaries upstream of the Luo River.
Seeing this, Sun Jian asked in confusion,
"Military advisor, what are our troops doing here?”
"Even if it's an ambush, we should go outside Hangu Pass!”
Everyone naturally did not understand. After crossing the river, it was fine if they did not send troops, but why did they specially cross the mountain to go to a desolate wilderness?
But just as everyone was puzzled, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Naturally, I'm not here to sightsee!”
"This team is a surprise army. Our army will block the river and prepare to attack the enemy halfway!”
