Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh attacking the mountain
Chapter 577: Attacking Tushan
Guan Yu looked at Cheng Yu, who also scratched his head a little.
Seeing Yuan Shu's army in front of the Tushan military camp, Guan Yu's 30,000 troops were also ready. In terms of defense, their military camp was not even a little worse than Luxian. If Yuan Shu was really determined to attack, they would all
The military stronghold is basically paper.
"Second General, what is the meaning of Yuan Shu sending troops to attack Tushan now?
I think his target is not just us, but the Lord of Lu County."
Cheng Yu looked at Yuan Jun in front of him, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
"How to say?"
Guan Yu also frowned.
"You must know that Yuan Shu is slightly stronger than us on the surface now, but there is no absolute crushing. Luxian City has high walls and thick walls. If you want to win, you will have to pay a huge price. This is what he can expect.
arrived, so they diverted their attack on us. The purpose is to mobilize the lord's troops in Lu County and then snipe in the wild."
Cheng Yu had a good grasp of Yuan Shu's thoughts. After all, compared to attacking the city, Guan Yu was a soft persimmon here.
"Well, but if it's difficult for us to defend alone now, what should we do?"
When Guan Yu heard Cheng Yu's words, he couldn't help but frown.
"Second General, our original purpose of garrisoning outside the city was to control the city's strength. It is said that a lonely city is difficult to defend, and the mountains cannot afford to lose. Since Yuan Shu wants to fight, let's fight."
Since they had anticipated this situation when they set up the Tushan Military Camp, let's have a spear versus spear contest now.
"Okay, let's fight."
Following Guan Yu's order, war drums rumbled in the Tushan military camp, and 30,000 troops came out in full force, standing on Tushan, facing Yuan Shu's army head-on from a high position.
"My lord, Yuan Shu has sent troops, and the target is the Tushan military camp of the second general."
At the same time, Liu Bei in Lu County also learned about Yuan Shujun's movements.
"Military advisor, what should we do?"
When Liu Bei heard that Yuan Shu was attacking Guan Yu, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"My lord, Yuan Shu's intention is very clear. If Lu County can't be defeated, he will attack Tushan and cut off one of our arms first, so we can't give him a chance. I suggest that we immediately send three generals to lead the army out of the city and attack Yuan Shu's back and silhouette two generals."
Cheng Yu could see Chen Gong and he could also tell that now was the time to compete in terms of strength, so he did not hesitate and directly suggested that Liu Bei send troops.
"Okay, Yide."
Since Chen Gong said it, Liu Bei had nothing to say and directly ordered Zhang Fei's general.
"exist."
"I order you to lead 30,000 elite troops out of the city to attack Yuan Shu's army and coordinate with Guan Yu."
"promise."
Zhang Fei accepted the order and immediately turned around and walked out.
"Lord, three generals, please be slow."
Seeing Zhang Fei about to leave, Chen Gong stopped them.
"Gongtai, what else can I do?"
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei was a little confused.
"My lord, 30,000 soldiers and horses are a bit small. I suggest that the three generals send out troops together with 10,000 Taishan troops."
Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and expressed his thoughts.
"Gongtai, you also know that the strength of the Taishan Army is not as good as ours. If you take them out, you will only be held back."
Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong. Ying Shao's Taishan Army was inferior to his own elite soldiers. It might be okay to let them defend the city, but if they really wanted to fight in the field, they would collapse.
"My lord, actually I have always had doubts about Ying Shao. This time I sent the Taishan Army to attack, firstly to weaken the strength of the Taishan Army, and secondly to test whether Yingshao is really trustworthy. After all, the Taishan Army has two
Ten thousand people. If the three generals lead 30,000 people out of the city, then our troops in Lu County will only be less than 10,000 people. If Ying Shao really rebels at this time, everything will be over."
At the critical moment, Chen Gong Ying Shao still did not relax his vigilance. After all, this was a battle related to the overall situation. If he was not careful, he would lose everything. Although Ying Shao was a noble man, he had to guard against it.
"Is it really going to be like this?
You know, asking Ying Shao to give up his foundation in Taishan County and go north is already a bit too much, and now we have to divide his troops, I'm afraid it will really force him to rebel."
Although what Chen Gong said made sense, Liu Bei didn't want to push Ying Shao too hard, fearing that he would really have to counterattack then and the gain would outweigh the loss.
"My lord, if you want to rebel against someone, he will rebel no matter how nice you are to him. But a person who is truly loyal to the lord will definitely be able to see the form clearly and will never do anything inappropriate. Moreover, it is better to rebel sooner than later.
Okay, now we should rebel. We can crush them with our elite troops. If we really rebel at a critical moment, the consequences will be disastrous. Please think again, lord."
Chen Gong shook his head. Even though what Liu Bei said was very reasonable, he still insisted on his own ideas and sailed carefully because he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
"Okay, since you insist, then Yide, you get ready immediately, and I'll go and talk to Shao personally."
Since Chen Gong insisted on doing this, it was hard for him as the master to say anything, after all, everything was for himself.
"My lord cannot come in person, but you can call Ying Shao here."
As for Ying Shao, Chen Gong is currently holding him in his arms, so it is impossible for Liu Bei to go to Ying Shao's place.
"Everything is up to you. Send someone immediately to recruit Ying Shao to come here to discuss the matter."
Liu Bei gave the order, and the bodyguards who were waiting outside took orders to find Ying Shao.
Ying Shao also frowned when he heard Liu Bei's summons. Why call him over now?
"My lord, is Liu Bei suspicious of us?
Should we start now?"
Wang Xuan looked at Ying Shao, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be impatient. Liu Bei asked me to go. He has not sent troops to come because he has not become suspicious yet. If we raise troops now, it is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. It is impossible for the uprising to succeed. You wait here, I will go to meet Liu Bei immediately. Let's see.
What on earth is he going to do?"
Although Ying Shao also frowned, he did not agree with Wang Xuan's proposal. After all, Liu Bei's troops in Lu County were strong, so raising an army now would be suicide.
"Then please be careful, my lord."
What Ying Shao said makes sense. Since the situation is unclear, the only way to deal with the changes is to remain unchanged. Let's see what Liu Bei thinks first.
"Well, someone will prepare the horse."
Ying Shao rode on the carriage prepared by his guards and ran directly towards Liu Bei.
"Zhong Yuan, I won't be verbose when I come to you this time. Yuan Shu is now sending troops to attack the Tushan military camp outside the city. I want to send Yide troops to rescue, but I have no choice but to have a shortage of soldiers and horses, so I want to borrow them from your Taishan army.
Ten thousand elite soldiers are with him, what do you think?"
Seeing Ying Shao coming, Liu Bei felt half relieved and directly told Ying Shao what he had discussed with Chen Gong.
