Chapter 1004: Taking advantage of the road to attack Guo
Now that Song Xian had said so, Lu Bu was not interested in pursuing the fault of the beating, and directly ordered him to return to the prefect's mansion.
"General, don't leave. What will happen to my injustice?"
Seeing that Lu Bu was about to leave, Wang Qian immediately became stupid and spoke loudly to Lu Bu.
"I don't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters now. If you have anything to do, just take care of it yourself. Let's go."
Lu Bu had no intention of caring about Wang Qian now, so he followed Song Xian directly onto the carriage and returned to the prefect's mansion.
Seeing Lu Bu leave, Wang Qian couldn't help but spit and slowly got up from the ground.
"Master, is this beating we received in vain?"
A servant came to Wang Qian with his arms folded, his eyes full of anger.
"It won't be in vain, Song Xian, just wait and see."
Wang Qian didn't say much, and the spicy look in his eyes flashed away.
"Master, what's wrong?
Where is the General?"
At this moment, his concubine also came out of the inner courtyard. She scanned around but found no trace of Lu Bu.
"Go away, bitch, you can't even tie up a man, so what use are you?"
Wang Qian slapped his concubine on the face and turned away.
The concubine was slapped and sat down on the ground, but tears flowed down her face.
Lu Bu and Song Xian returned to the prefect's mansion, and the soldiers and warriors who had been waiting for them were brought over directly.
"The soldiers pay homage to the general."
Seeing Lu Bu at the top of the high seat, the warriors directly cupped their fists and saluted him.
"Okay, enough nonsense, I just want to ask, has Yuan Shu really captured Yizhou?"
Lu Bu looked at the warrior in front of him with a pair of eagle eyes. Even though he was several meters away, the sense of oppression still pressed against the warrior like a tsunami.
"General, this matter is not trivial. Soldiers and soldiers will not dare to talk nonsense."
Shiwu resisted Lu Bu's pressure and nodded directly at Lu Bu.
"Okay, how are Shixie going to unite?"
Now that he heard a definite answer from Shiwu, Lu Bu also put away his momentum and asked Shiwu again with a smile.
"My eldest brother means that if Yuan Shu returns from Yizhou and attacks Jiaozhou, he has two routes. One is to go south from Yangzhou through Yuzhang County, first attack Nanhai County, and then go west from Nanhai County, sweeping all the way.
The second is to go south from Lingling County in Jingzhou and launch an attack from Cangwu County. After taking this place, the troops will be divided into two groups, attacking Nanhai County all the way to the east, and attacking Yulin and Hepu County all the way to the west.
So what my eldest brother means is that we each withdraw our troops now. We are responsible for defending Cangwu County, while the general will send troops north to garrison Meizhou.
Once either side discovers the enemy, the other side will immediately send troops to support it."
Shi Wu directly told Shi Xie what he meant. Now they don't know where Yuan Shu will attack from, so they can only temporarily divide their troops to garrison. Once they know Yuan Shu's main attack direction, they will immediately support each other and must keep Yuan Shu out of Jiaozhou. .
"Song Xian, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Shiwu's suggestion, Lu Bu looked directly at Song Xian beside him.
"Lord, I think Shi Xie's proposal is very good. Now Yuan Shu is hiding and we are hiding. And as he said, Yuan Shu wants to attack Jiaozhou, whether it is Yangzhou or Jingzhou. It is very possible. Now we can only divide the troops to garrison them. Once Yuan Shu's troops are discovered, they can support each other and fight Yuan Shu decisively."
Hearing Lu Bu ask himself, Song Xian nodded directly. Shi Xie's proposal is the best way to scare you. After all, their family only has so much money, so they can only resist like this at first. If they unite now, once Yuan Shu comes from elsewhere,
If we attack somewhere, everything will be over.
"not good."
Looking at Song Xian, Lu Bu shook his head.
"Um?"
"Um?"
Song Xian and Shi Wu were stunned for a moment. This is the best choice they can make now. If you can't say it right now, what are you going to do?
"I wonder what General Lu Bu has to say?"
Shiwu glanced at Lu Bu and directly expressed the question in his heart.
"I still have 70,000 to 80,000 troops here, and Shi Xie's place should have less than 100,000. These troops may not seem like many, but if Yuan Shu comes to attack, his strength will definitely be no less than 200,000. This is unacceptable.
ignore,
If we divide our troops to garrison, the consequence is likely that Yuan Shu's army will press the border, and we will be defeated by the enemy before we have time to support us.
Therefore, we must gather our troops and horses together and form a fist to deal with Yuan Shu's offensive."
The reason why Lu Bu objected was because he knew Yuan Shu's terror. Yuan Shu was definitely a person who would do nothing if he didn't move, and he would go all out if he moved.
If he wanted to capture Jiaozhou, he would have to dispatch at least 200,000 soldiers and horses, and even reach the terrifying 300,000. This is definitely something Yuan Shu can come up with.
Now that he divides his troops to garrison, he will give Yuan Shu a chance to defeat them one by one. This is a situation that he will never allow to happen.
"But now we don't know where Yuan Shu will send troops from, and where to assemble his troops and horses, Yangzhou or Jingzhou. If we make a mistake, won't we give the enemy an opportunity to break into Jiaozhou?"
The soldiers and warriors naturally knew that dividing the troops and garrisoning them was not an option, but they had no choice now. If their prediction was wrong, they might create an opportunity for Yuan Shu to attack Jiaozhou.
"He will definitely choose to attack Jiaozhou from Lingling County in Jingzhou."
Compared with the doubts of the soldiers and warriors, Lu Bu was somewhat categorical and directly judged that Yuan Shu's troops would attack Jiaozhou from Jingzhou.
"Um?
Why is the general so sure?"
Shi Wu is completely confused now. Without any information, why do you dare to conclude that Yuan Shu will attack Jiaozhou from Jingzhou? This is unreasonable.
"It's actually very simple. Yuan Shu's main forces are in Jingzhou and Yizhou. If he really captures Yizhou, then his troops will inevitably return to Jingzhou from Yizhou, and then go south from Jingzhou to Jiaozhou.
If they diverted to Yangzhou to attack, the army of more than 200,000 would have to travel for another half a month. The consumption alone would not be a small amount.
Moreover, from Lingling County to Jiaozhou, just as Shi Xie analyzed, it will be up to him whether he attacks Nanhai County or goes to Yulin and Hepu County. From a strategic perspective, it is in the best interest of Jizhou Army to attack from Lingling County.
of,
Taking a step back, even if my guess is wrong, it doesn't matter if he comes from Yangzhou. At worst, we will lose a Nanhai County. We can still use Cangwu County to keep the enemy out, but if we lose Cangwu County, it will be equivalent to losing the enemy.
to the center of Jiaozhou,
When the time comes, Yuan Shu can completely divide the entire Jiaozhou into two and attack them without giving us time to unite. Do you understand what I say?"
Lu Bu is an expert in marching and fighting. If he were Yuan Shu, he would definitely choose to attack Jiaozhou from Lingling County instead of the thankless attack from Yuzhang.
"My lord, it is exactly what you said. If you follow what you said, then Yuan Shu's breakthrough point is likely to be Cangwu County. I suggest that we immediately gather troops and go to Fuchuan to set up a defense line to resist Yuan Shu's possible arrival of the army."
Song Xian understood what Lu Bu meant. Jiang was still old and hot. Lu Bu's analysis directly highlighted the key points of Jiaozhou. If Yuan Shu didn't come, he would definitely point his sword at Cangwu.
"How do you feel?"
Lu Bu glanced at Shiwu. Song Xian had already reacted. Now it was up to Shiwu to understand.
"Well, I understand. Then please ask the general to gather his troops immediately. I will return to Guangxin to report to my elder brother. I believe he will agree with the general's view."
Shiwu didn't expect that Lu Bu had such a deep understanding of Jiaozhou. As he said, Cangwu County is the center of the entire Jiaozhou. Once this place is lost, the entire Jiaozhou will be divided into two, and then things will really get worse.
Trouble.
"Well, without further ado, go report to Shi Xie immediately."
After hearing Shiwu's words, Lu Bu also stood up and cupped his fists at him.
After Song Xian sent the soldiers and soldiers away, he turned back.
"My lord, you want to lead your troops north to Cangwu County. Do you have any other ideas?"
Song Xian glanced at Lu Bu and directly expressed the questions in his heart.
"Any other ideas?
what you mean?"
Now it was Lu Bu's turn to be confused. He analyzed Yuan Shu's actions entirely from a military perspective and had no other ideas at all.
"Lord, if Shi Xie agrees with us to send troops to Fuchuan, he will definitely be unprepared for us. If we directly send troops at this time and use the road to attack Guo, we will definitely be able to destroy Shi Xie in one fell swoop. By then, the entire Jiaozhou will be ours."
A flash of light flashed in Song Xian's eyes. If he could really take advantage of the situation to eradicate Shi Xie, then Jiaozhou would truly fall into his hands.
"We can't do this now. Yuan Shu is coming. If there is another internal conflict with Shi Xie, then in the end we may not be able to withstand Yuan Shu's attack. If we want to capture Jiaozhou, we will have many opportunities. After blocking Yuan Shu, Shi Xie will not be able to escape my attack."
Palm."
Lu Bu shook his head. He had never thought about using the road to attack Guo and take the opportunity to eradicate Shi Xie. After all, Shi Xie's prestige in Jiaozhou was still very high.
If you take it rashly, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou. Besides, there is Yuan Shu outside. If you do this, you will destroy the Great Wall and the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Then I understand."
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Song Xian's shining eyes dimmed again.
"Well, don't think about those things that are not there. Harmony will benefit both parties, and division will lead to two harms. Everyone knows these. Now our top priority is to block Yuan Shu who is about to go south. He should be able to do it in a month at most.
When the battle arrives, you immediately gather our troops and go to Sihui. As long as Shixie agrees with my idea, we will send troops to Fuchuan."
Lu Bu nodded and directly asked Song Xian to gather troops.
"promise."
After Song Xian left, Lu Bu felt a little unmotivated. After all, he hadn't finished what he had just done. Now that he had made arrangements, his love for love sprouted again.
