Compared to Chen Xi's already well-prepared defense and preparations to continue this battle before taking advantage of it, Xu You was thinking about how to win this war.
The 7,000-man army led by Wen Chou did not have a single infantryman, but only one man and two horses. Yuan Shao and Li Jue were the only ones with so many horses in the world.
Xu You rushed all the way to Linyi without stopping. He and Tian Feng originally went from Jizhou to Bingzhou and left Bingzhou after organizing their troops. But now they led their troops to Linyi, which is close to Jizhou. If not for the rush of time, Xu You would definitely have arrived.
There was a big battle under Linyi City.
"Wen Chou, send your bodyguard Wenchang to Jizhou with your seal and ribbon to mobilize troops." After running all the way, Xu You changed into a long gown and then started to eat. While eating, he ordered Wen Chou.
"Ah, you still need to mobilize troops?" Wen Chou was shocked. Although he is more upright and stiff, it does not mean that he is a fool. This time Yuan Shao has sent 100,000 troops. Even if many of them are just county soldiers, they are still real.
One hundred thousand infantry and cavalry, no monarch would dare to give his generals such a large number of troops without going on a personal expedition.
"If you want to win, just listen to me. Chen Zichuan is very good at using his power to overwhelm others, and he can be said to find every opportunity. If I can't defeat him in one go and drag him to a stalemate, I can't win." Xu You took a bite of the meat on his hand.
Fuck it, chew it vigorously a few times, and then swallow it hard.
"But..." Wen Chou opened his mouth and was about to explain.
"There are no buts!" Xu You interrupted Wen Chou directly, "If you want to win, just mobilize your troops."
Wen Chou hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth. "I will move the troops, but can you win if I move the troops here? We need a big victory now. Especially before we prepare for a full-scale war, we need a big victory to boost morale.
As long as you can win, I will mobilize my troops."
"I know what you want to say. But I can only tell you that I am not sure of beating Chen Zichuan. No one in the world dares to say that he is sure of beating him, because he has never lost." Xu You said solemnly, staring at Wen Chou.
"I just want to ask if you are willing to mobilize troops?" Xu You looked calm and didn't care about Wen Chou's frightened and angry expression at all, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Okay, I'll mobilize the troops!" Wen Chou said with a dark face, "I'll take the blame. If you lose, it's mine!"
After saying this, Wen Chou directly called for his bodyguard Wenchang. Then he said in front of his bodyguard, "Military advisor, what do you want to do now? Infantry, cavalry, who else do you want?"
"We need three thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry. The rest is not important." Xu You stared at Wen Chou and said.
Then he took out the map, pointed to a place and said to Wen Chou, "If you see this place, don't worry about anything else after seven days. When the Jizhou reinforcements come, I will attack this place at night. Whether it succeeds or not is not important, but after five thousand
The infantry will guard the Yellow River to the north of Linyi and the Jishui River to the south of Linyi."
"Well, there are a lot of people. There are not so many people in my headquarters." Wen Chou said with a smile.
"That's your business, but I believe you can do it. This is about whether we can stand in an invincible position." Xu You patted Wen Chou on the shoulder and said.
Wen Chou felt that his shoulders were a little heavy. There were more than 10,000 people. Although Yuan Shao did give him the power to mobilize urgently, it was not a good idea to use it here.
Xu You looked calm, and he did not embarrass Wen Chou. Such large-scale troop deployment was within the scope of power granted by Yuan Shao, but this kind of power could only be possessed by generals who Yuan Shao absolutely trusted.
"Give me a thousand men to capture this place!" Xu You pointed at Chiping on the map and said, "Chen Zichuan will have troops stationed here, but our army is stronger than mine, and we are guarding the Yellow River. If Chen Zichuan reacts too slowly, he will attack.
!”
"Okay, I'll give instructions to the reinforcements." Wen Chou nodded and said helplessly. He couldn't understand Xu You's plan at all.
Seeing Wen Chou leave, Xu You stood up and looked at the full moon. With his silk clothes and his handsome appearance, he seemed to be in a trance like a heavenly being.
Xu You thought about his strategy silently, and after confirming that it was full of loopholes and could successfully implement it, he no longer made up for the mistakes.
Sometimes the strategy cannot be perfect, it just needs to be effective. Even if it is a strategy full of loopholes, it is still a strange strategy as long as you have no way to counter it.
After Wen Chou sent his own soldiers to Jizhou, he marched south. Although he asked many times, he did not get an answer from Xu You. In desperation, he could only follow Xu You all the way.
Xu You also had no intention of explaining anything and went all the way south into Dongping Kingdom. After making final repairs at Fucheng on the Dongping front line, he headed directly to the east.
At this time, even if Wen Chou was stupid, he understood what Xu You wanted to do, but he really didn't expect Xu You to be so bold, bypassing Chen Xi and heading to Feicheng. This is the transfer station for Chen Xi's army's food, grass and baggage, and it is also the official supply line.
One head is like Taishan Fenggao.
"Military advisor, are you sure we want to cut off Feicheng's grain road?" As we got closer to Feicheng, the soldiers who had never seen the map naturally didn't know where the target was, but Wen Chou now fully understood.
"It's right there, hit the snake seven inches away. Only that place is the most suitable. With the Feicheng grain road cut off, Yanzhou, Jibei, and Dongjun have completely lost contact." Xu You said with a sneer.
"Military advisor, it's useless to fight there. It's the official road. If Chen Zichuan is trapped, Liu Bei will only need three days from sending troops to arriving! Sun Gongyou built Liu Bei's rule to extend in all directions. They sent troops too fast. Three days
They won't even finish the remaining food in the camp." Even if Wen Chou is stupid, he can slip past the horse on the official road. How could he not know how fast troops can be sent out on the official road!
"Three days is enough. I think you should mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Lu brothers in the south of Jizhou. Zang Xuangao strives to make progress while maintaining stability, and Wei Wenchang is good at taking risks. They are in the north of Qingzhou. How can our army be mobilized like this?
You can hide it from them!" Xu You did not answer Wen Chou's question, but instead said to himself.
"Ah, doesn't that mean that our southern Jizhou is unstable?" Wen Chou was shocked. He transferred the lieutenant general under Gao Lan. Only after listening to Xu You's explanation did he understand that by transferring the soldiers and horses in the southern part of Jizhou, that would not make Qingzhou
Do those Liu Bei generals have an opportunity to take advantage of it?
"Don't worry, Uncle Gao Yuan is very strict in military management and well versed in the art of war. He will definitely be prepared after you go to mobilize troops. However, a battle in Jizhou and Qingzhou is indispensable. Liu Bei has no troops to mobilize." Xu You shook his head and was not worried.
said.
"How is that possible? Fenggao's troops are only three days away from Feicheng!" Wen Chou said in disbelief. (To be continued...)

Seeing how sincere I am, I silently beg for food...
