Xu Shu nodded, "So, it seems that everything has changed, but for now, we should be safe."
After hearing this, Lu Bu felt relieved and said with a smile, "It seems that they don't take me seriously, so they stayed at the end."
Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled and waved his hand, "Marquis Wen, you are wrong. The reason why they did not attack Yanzhou first was that they were afraid of Marquis Wen and regarded him as a real opponent."
At this point, Xu Shu paused, "I'm afraid too many people will put the real opponent last, whether it's Liu Biao of Jingzhou or Yuan Shao of Jizhou, I'm afraid they all put Marquis Wen last and regard him as the real opponent!
”
Lu Bu was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I should feel honored!"
Xu Shu smiled slightly, "Although we are not in danger for the time being, we must increase our strength during this period, otherwise we will face huge dangers when they complete their own strategy."
Lu Bu nodded in sympathy, "Yuanzhi, in your opinion, how can we increase our strength?"
Xu Shu frowned, "Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou sent 30,000 troops and wanted to occupy Xuzhou as soon as possible, Cao Mengde who occupied Xuzhou is not someone to take lightly. The battle between the two of them will probably last a long time.
And the most important thing is, when Xuzhou’s troops pass through Huainan, what will Huainan Yuan Shu do?"
Lu Bu asked tentatively, "Yuan Zhi, do you mean that Yuan Shu in Huainan will take the opportunity to attack the troops sent by Liu Biao in Jingzhou?"
Xu Shu nodded, "If this is the case, I'm afraid Liu Biao of Jingzhou will have no choice but to retreat in defeat."
Hearing this, Lu Bu really didn't expect it and couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Zhi, do you think Yuan Shu in Huainan can definitely defeat Liu Biao's troops in Jingzhou?"
Xu Shu shook his head, "Marquis Wen, have you forgotten that there is Cao Mengde of Xuzhou?"
At this point, Xu Shu did not wait for Lu Bu's answer and continued, "Cao Mengde also has several capable men. Naturally, he can tell that Jingzhou Liu Biao's real target is him, so Huainan Yuan Shu sent troops to deal with the troops sent by Jingzhou Liu Biao.
When the time comes, Cao Mengde will definitely take the opportunity to send troops.
Although there are thirty thousand soldiers and horses sent by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, they will definitely be defeated under the siege of these two men."
Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "Yuan Zhi, have you forgotten Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong? He will also send troops to deal with Yuan Shu of Huainan. In this way, wouldn't it be a draw between the two sides?"
Xu Shu shook his head, "No, unless Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, takes the lead, the troops sent by Liu Biao of Jingzhou will definitely not last long. By the time Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, sends troops, they may have been defeated."
Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said slowly, "To put it this way, the most important thing is that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, should be the first to take action and restrain Huainan's troops. Then, Jingzhou Liu Biao's troops will
You can reach Xuzhou smoothly and get entangled with Cao Mengde."
Xu Shu nodded, "Yes, if Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, takes action first, this battle may take a while to end."
Lu Bu thought about it carefully and said slowly, "Yuan Zhi, what benefits can we get from the battle between the four of them?"
Xu Shu shook his head, "The current strength of the four parties should be that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is the weakest. If there are no accidents, even if there is a protracted war, he should be the one who loses in the end.
As for the battle in Xuzhou, although Jingzhou Liu Biao sent out elite troops and strong generals, after all, he was fighting in a different place, and I am afraid that he will be the one who loses in the end."
At this point, Xu Shu paused and smiled slightly, "But no matter which side wins, it will also lose its troops and weaken its vitality. When the time comes, we can send troops to attack Xuzhou."
Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Huainan Yuan Shu should have become weaker after successive battles. Why don't we fight him first?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, "Marquis Wen, if we attack Yuan Shu in Huainan, we might cause dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao in Jizhou. If he desperately starts a war on two fronts, then we will also face a two-front war.
No, it should be a three-line battle, and we still have to face the attack of Cao Mengde of Xuzhou. Therefore, we can only attack Xuzhou first to avoid attracting the attention of Yuan Shao of Jizhou."
At this point, Xu Shu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "After we completely occupy Xuzhou, we will attack Huainan with a thunderous force. By the time Yuan Shao of Jizhou finds out, I am afraid that Huainan has become a thing in our hands.
Even if he sends troops to fight and Youzhou is not destroyed, he does not dare to have the power to fight. We can take this opportunity to join forces with Youzhou Gongsun Zan to destroy Jizhou Yuan Shao."
Having said this, Xu Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, "If this plan can succeed, it will not be a big worry if Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, are left in the end."
Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh, "Yuan Zhi, if this plan really succeeds, you will take the lead."
Xu Shu nodded, "So the first one to take action now must be Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong. Otherwise, once one party leaves the field first, they will not be able to reach a stalemate and their vitality will be greatly damaged."
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a spy ran in from outside the door.
"Marquis Wen, the soldiers and horses of the Little Overlord of Jiangdong have crossed the river."
When Lu Bu and Xu Shu heard the news from the spies, they looked at each other and saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes.
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
The two of them looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time, "Great, Jiangdong's little overlord Sun Ce has finally sent out troops. This time, I'm afraid a deadlock is inevitable!"
Xu Shu cupped his hands in front of Lu Bu and said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, since the battle in the south has gone according to our plan, next is the time for our army to increase its strength.
When the fighting on all sides is over, we will use the knowledge of thunder to capture Xuzhou and carry out our plan."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, in that case, I will immediately pass on the order and start recruiting soldiers starting today."
Following Lu Bu's order, the entire Lu Bu army immediately began to expand and quickly recruited troops.
Buying horses is the main thing, and the most important unit of Bingzhou Iron Knight Lu Bu must be expanded to play its greatest role.
Because in his next battle, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry is likely to fight on two fronts. There are only 1,000 people now. If they are divided into two groups, the impact will be reduced, so they must buy horses as soon as possible to expand the number of Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.
The candidates for this expansion are mainly Bingzhou cavalry and ordinary infantry. As for the heavy infantry, they are powerful although they are trapped in the camp.
