Lu Bu raised his head to look at Xu Shu, and asked tentatively, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think of this matter?"
Xu Shu frowned, his eyes full of confusion, "How could this happen? Even if Sun Ce, the overlord, sends troops, he should attack Jingzhou instead of Huainan?"
Lu Bu looked at Xu Shu's troubled look and suddenly understood that Xi Shu's guess was correct, but there was a deviation, and that was a game.
Perhaps, before there were games, Sun Ce had never thought of attacking Huainan, but after there were games, things were completely different.
Sun Ce must have thought that he had enough strength to defeat Yuan Shu easily, so he sent troops.
After Xu Shu was silent for a moment, he slowly said, "Now think about it, Sun Ce marches into Huainan. If he can really succeed, then he can occupy Huainan and then plot in all directions."
At this point, Xu Shu paused and said slowly, "Huainan has an important terrain, connecting Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou.
Once Sun Ce captures Huainan, he can plot against Xuzhou in the east, attack Jingzhou in the west, or even go straight to the middle to attack Yuzhou.
Hum!
The little overlord Sun Ce is indeed well-deserved and has great ambitions. As long as he occupies Huainan, he can occupy the most advantageous terrain, advance and attack, and retreat and defend."
Xu Huang suddenly said, "Although Yuan Shu was defeated, he is not weak in strength. Although the little overlord Sun Ce is brave, can he really defeat Yuan Shu?"
Xu Shu shook his head with a wry smile, "Since the little overlord Sun Ce dares to send troops to attack Huainan, maybe he has hidden his strength before and is confident that he can easily defeat Yuan Shu?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded secretly, admiring Xu Shu's foresight in his heart. Although he had never seen the game, the guessed results were indeed very similar.
Sun Ce hid his strength in the game, and his confidence came from the game.
Lu Bu asked slowly, "Yuanzhi, Sun Ce, the overlord, is attacking Huainan. Our plan is also to attack Huainan. Do we want to continue now?"
Hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly laughed and said, "Marquis Wen, the little overlord Sun Ce's attack on Huainan will only benefit us and not cause any harm to us. Why should we attack Huainan?"
Lu Bu's heart moved and he said with a smile, "Yuanzhi, do you want to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight?"
Xu Shu nodded, "Yes, since Sun Ce went to attack Yuan Shu first, we can rest and recuperate temporarily. When they know the result, it will not be too late to send troops again."
At this point, Xu Shu paused and suddenly sneered, "And during the battle between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, maybe Cao Mengde of Xuzhou will also take action."
Lu Bu's eyes lit up, "Yuan Zhi, do you mean that Cao Mengde will send troops to help Yuan Shu and jointly repel the little overlord Sun Ce?"
Xu Shu shook his head and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, if we attack Yuan Shu, why will Cao Mengde help us?"
At this point, Xu Shu did not wait for Lu Bu to answer, but paused for a moment before continuing, "If my guess is correct, Cao Mengde's final idea of helping Huainan Yuan Shu is just to use the help of the two of them.
We are just using our strength to fight against Marquis Wen together.
Marquis Wen, is what I say below correct?"
Hearing these words, Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, even if Cao Mengde sent troops to rescue Yuan Shu, it was just to deal with me, and he was definitely not sincerely helping Yuan Shu."
Xu Shu nodded, "Marquis Wen, in this case, what Cao Mengde needs is just a partner to join forces with. I'm afraid it doesn't matter who it is, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Bu was startled, suddenly enlightened, and then suddenly realized what he was doing.
Xu Shu was right, Cao Mengde didn't care who he was joining forces with, but he could join forces to deal with him.
If Yuan Shu is in Huainan, he can join forces with Yuan Shu to deal with him.
But if the little overlord Sun Ce defeats Yuan Shu and takes over Huainan, Cao Mengde can also join forces with the little overlord Sun Ce to deal with him together.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu gradually frowned.
Yuan Shu is aloof and arrogant, which can be used to defeat the two of them one by one. But if it is Sun Ce, the little overlord, will this method still work?
In other words, does Sun Ce, the little overlord, also have this shortcoming? If not, then the method of defeating them one by one will probably be ineffective.
The little bully Sun Ce must have entered the game, and Cao Mengde has also entered the game. If the two of them join forces and deal with them by themselves, can they really succeed?
Xu Huang suddenly said, "Mr. Yuan Zhi, do you mean that if Cao Mengde sends troops, he will help the little overlord Sun Ce and jointly deal with Huainan Yuan Shu?"
Hearing this question, Lu Bu also raised his head to look at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu frowned tightly, thinking quickly about the variables in his mind.
Everything seemed to be out of control, making him have to rethink what might happen in the future.
The only thing that is certain is that once Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce and Huainan's Yuan Shu fight, Cao Mengde will definitely not stand idly by and watch, he will definitely send troops.
The question is, will Cao Mengde help Huainan Yuan Shu, but what about the little overlord Sun Ce?
In the past, although Xu Shu knew about the little overlord Sun Ce, since his scope of activities was south of the Yangtze River, he didn't think much about him.
But he never expected that the little overlord Sun Ce would do something beyond his expectation, which caught him off guard.
Therefore, he has to carefully think about the pros and cons, that is to say, what benefits will Cao Mengde get no matter which side he helps by sending troops.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Shu raised his head and looked at Lu Bu, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen, if the little overlord Sun Ce and Yuan Shu of Huainan fight, Cao Mengde will indeed send troops."
At this point, Xu Shu paused for a moment before continuing, "But if I'm not wrong, Cao Mengde will not help anyone."
After hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned and said, "Yuan Zhi, since Cao Mengde can't help anyone, why does he still send troops?"
Xu Shu nodded, "Cao Mengde is a very scheming person and knows the pros and cons. No matter which side he chooses, he will suffer losses, so it would be better for him to watch both of them lose." p>
Lu Bu frowned when he heard this, "In this case, he doesn't need to send troops?"
Xu Shu shook his head, "Although Marquis Wen and Cao Mengde occupied Xuzhou, the Guangling County under their rule has always been controlled by Yuan Shu of Huainan. If my guess is correct, even if Cao Mengde sends troops, he will not help them, but will take them back."
Guangling County, strengthen its own strength.
After the two decide the winner, no matter who takes Huainan, Cao Mengde must speak with strength, so he must now expand his strength as soon as possible."
