Zhang Liao's analysis is very reasonable. If they retreat now, this troop dispatch will be ineffective in the battle of Yanzhou. Only if they turn Jizhou upside down and make Yuan Shu's troops exhausted can they support Liu Bei in Yanzhou to the maximum extent.
"Let me think about it."
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Lu Bu fell into deep thought. He knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so it was not his fighting style to prefer the tigers to the mountains. But now it seemed that what Zhang Liao said made sense, and he was also in a dilemma.
"Lord, time waits for no one. If we wait for an extra quarter of an hour, we will give Yingyang the army an extra quarter of an hour. Please make a decision quickly."
Seeing Lu Bu's hesitation, Zhang Liao couldn't help but advise him again.
"Okay, then let's continue marching towards Changshan Kingdom."
After taking a look at Zhang Liao, Lu Bu no longer hesitated and directly ordered to march to Changshan Kingdom.
"promise,"
Lu Bu's army did not stop and continued to advance towards Changshan Kingdom with 10,000 fine cavalry.
Lu Bu's whereabouts in Jizhou were basically monitored from 360 degrees without blind spots, and all information about them was passed on to Changshan Kingdom through fast horses.
"Military advisor, it seems that Lu Bu is determined to come to Changshan Kingdom."
Zhang He took the military report and slowly came to Jushou.
"Haha, if you're not afraid of him coming, you're just afraid he won't come."
As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, a figure like an iron tower appeared in the house.
"Gong Ji, when did you come back?"
Hearing this voice, Jushou looked up and saw who else it could be if it wasn't Yan Liang.
"Commander, I have just arrived to report to you. The Polu army is still a hundred miles away from here. I just rode here alone."
Yan Liang was covered in dust, and it was obvious that he arrived here after a long march.
"Haha, now that the Polu army has returned, it will not be easy for Lu Bu to escape."
The arrival of Yan Liang and the Polu Army made Jushou's eyes brighter. Originally, he wanted to use the Jianzhong Army and the militia to stop Lu Bu outside Changshan, and delay it until Zhao Yun led the Yingyang Army to arrive and defeat him.
Now that the Polu army has joined, he can open the door first and let Lu Bu break through to Changshan Kingdom.
Then use the Jianzhong Army and the Polu Army to fight against Lu Bu in the field, and then let Zhao Yun lead the Yingyang Army to outflank Zhao State, and under the encirclement, Lu Bu can be left behind.
"Please also ask the military advisor to make arrangements."
After hearing Jushou's words, Zhang He and Yan Liang's eyes also lit up. After all, Lu Bu is a difficult person. If they can really keep him here or even kill him, it will save them a huge worry in the future.
"Lü Bu is arrogant and cunning. I decided to let go of the house's frontline defenses and let him continue to rush north. After his breakthrough, he will definitely go directly to Zhending, and he will never be able to escape to Zhending Yuanshi.
place, so we fought with him in Yuanshi, and at the same time ordered Zilong not to come directly to Changshan Kingdom, but to transfer to Zhao Kingdom, follow Lu Bu's trajectory north, and follow us there to encircle him."
After hearing Jushou's words, Zhang He frowned.
"Junyi, do you have a problem?"
Looking at Zhang He, Ju Shou smiled slightly.
"Military advisor, the Changshan Kingdom is a confidential place for the lord. If we really open the gap to let Lu Bu in, it will be like inviting a wolf into the house. Moreover, this man has unparalleled combat power and his cavalry are all elites. If he bypasses the Yuan family,
, a direct sneak attack on Zhending may have extremely serious consequences, and may very well affect the lord’s grand plan.”
Zhang He glanced at Ju Shou and expressed his worries. After all, Lu Bu's combat prowess is known to the world. If he is underestimated and Lu Bu is allowed to bypass the Yuan clan from other places and directly march towards Zhending, the consequences will be
Unthinkable.
"Junyi, don't try to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Lu Bu is indeed a man of extraordinary strength, but it's not like we haven't dealt with him before. We didn't kill him every time and threw away his armor."
Yan Liang ignored Zhang He's worries. Although Lu Bu was powerful, that was only because he was powerful. They were not going to fight with Lu Bu, so why should they be afraid?
"Well, I know what you mean. The first is that Lu Bu is very powerful and will not be easy to deal with. The second is that we are afraid that he will attack us in a roundabout way without facing us head-on, right?"
Jushou looked at Zhang He and smiled slightly. Thinking of this proved that he had really taken himself into it.
"exactly."
Zhang He nodded.
"Jun Yi, as Gong Ji said, Lu Bu is powerful in battle, but we can avoid fighting with him and make his personal bravery useless.
Let's talk about his march. Let me ask you how much food and grass he can bring with him when he comes from Yanzhou. It will be difficult for him to get supplies from our Jianqing Biye. If we really take a roundabout way, I'm afraid they will run out of ammunition and food before they reach Zhending.
, died on the way, so Yuanshi is the only way for him to pass.
We are not afraid of Lu Bu, but there is no room for loss in Zhending. This time Zhending's militia will not move. We will only lead two armies, the Polu Army and the Jianzhong Army, with an army of 30,000, and rush to Yuanshi to confront Lu Bu."
As the current defender of the capital, Jushu cannot think about some things. If he really fails to control Lu Bu, it doesn't matter where he goes, but he cannot afford to lose his true determination.
At least tens of millions of stone potatoes have been stored here over the years, plus secretly grown potato fields. These are Yuan Shu's trump cards for world domination.
If Lu Bu really came here, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Since the military advisor has made arrangements, I have no objection."
It's not that Zhang He is afraid of Lu Bu. He has been guarding Changshan Kingdom all year round, so he naturally understands the importance of this place. Zhen Ding has maintained a militia of 30,000 people all year round, not for other reasons but for these secrets. He was completely relieved after hearing Ju Shou's arrangement.
"In that case, just send a telegram to Zilong."
"promise."
Yan Liang and Zhang He paid tribute to Jushou together, and then left separately.
Lu Bu continued to go north along the Zhao Kingdom. The cities along the way were blocked and they could not hold out. They could only gather some grain and grass from the fields on the roadside to support them in continuing their march towards Changshan Kingdom.
After receiving the military report from Jushou, Zhao Yun did not hesitate and led Yingyang's army directly towards Zhao Guo.
A battle with different ideas slowly progressed. Lu Bu had to support the sneak attack in order to save Chenliu County, and the other side was Ju Shu's plan on a larger level, in order to kill the best general in the world.
In five days, Lu Bu traveled through the cities of Zhao State and finally arrived at Lincheng, the border between Zhao State and Changshan State.
"My lord, after passing Lincheng, we will reach the Kingdom of Changshan. The enemy will definitely resist, and it may be difficult to break through so smoothly."
Zhang Liao looked at the small town in front of him, and then looked further afield, where unknown dangers that they didn't know were waiting for them.
"No matter what they think, we still have the original strategy. If they insist on clearing the wall, we will pass through the city. If we really want to resist, it would be better. There seems to be only a Jianzhong Army of ten thousand people stationed in Changshan Kingdom.
Well, defeat them, and Changshan Kingdom will be ours."
Faced with Zhang Liao's worries, Lu Bu didn't take it seriously. If the opponent had tens of thousands of troops, he might be wary. But the only known enemy was Zhang He's 10,000 loyal troops, so he had no fear.
