Feeling Chen Gong's gaze, Sun Jian also looked at him with a slight smile.
"I don't know how General Wentai plans to fight."
It would be a bit abrupt for Chen Gong to make plans as soon as he arrived, so he did not rush to accept the move, but asked a question in return. He did not believe that Sun Jian came here without thinking about how to fight.
"What we originally thought was to send a group of soldiers and horses to attract Yuan Shu's attention, wait for his main force to move back, then lead the troops directly into Lu County, and then join Liu Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, and attack Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses head-on. As long as we can get into him
With our military formation and the rear army together, Yuan Shu will be defeated. Of course, this is just our idea, and we have not yet decided how to implement it."
Chen Gong was here, and Sun Jian had nothing to hide, so he directly told Chen Gong the strategy Zhu Jun had formulated earlier.
"This strategy is good, but Yuan Shu has many capable people, and he already knows your arrival. If you do this, it may be self-defeating. If the main force cannot get in, it will be troublesome, because no one knows that Yuan Shu has other people on his hands.
How many chips are there?"
Chen Gong thought for a moment, then shook his head and expressed a negative opinion.
"Then I wonder what Mr. Gongtai has to say?"
After hearing Chen Gong's words, Yan Xiang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with interest.
"The strategy of dividing the troops remains unchanged, but the emphasis needs to be changed. The rear column becomes the main force, with 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops attacking forcefully. The other troops continue to advance into Luxian County, and cooperate with the Luxian troops and horses to attack Yuan Shu's front column.
,
In this way, the troops and horses of the front team and the rear team will basically be equal, so it doesn't matter whether Yuan Shu places the main force in the front formation or the rear formation. As long as one of the two troops and horses breaks into the enemy's formation, Yuan Shu will also be defeated."
Although Chen Gong's words were based on Zhu Jun's strategy, this distribution was more balanced, and the meaning of balance was to make it clear that he had more people to bully the less people, and he used hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat Yuan Shu head-on.
"General, this strategy of Gongtai is very good. Now Yuan Shu can only get so many troops and horses on the surface, and there won't be many more.
His current main force is either in Youzhou or Bingzhou, and soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are still left to guard against Cao Cao, so at most they can transfer some militia groups from Jizhou. The combat effectiveness of these militia groups is open to question, and we have hundreds of thousands.
Elite, I think we can fight."
Yan Xiang thought for a while. With the arrival of Chen Gong, the situation in Lu County can be said to have been confirmed. According to what Chen Gong said, Yuan Shu's troops and horses suffered serious losses. The most important thing is that Chen Gong's plan no matter where it is viewed.
There is no problem at all. If he really attacks from both front and back, he might be able to defeat Yuan Shu in one go.
"Well, in that case, let's each act according to Mr. Gongtai's plan, but there is a very important point in this plan. Although the attack from the front and back does not matter, we must also be prepared for Yuan Shu's counterattack.
If Yuan Shu concentrated his troops and defeated him in one blow, the battle would probably turn around.
Therefore, I decided that the rear group would be led by veteran general Zhu Jun with 20,000 elite troops, cooperating with General Huang Zu's Jingzhou soldiers and Grand Administrator Yuan Yi's Shanyang army in the attack. The front group would be led by me, with my own troops and horses, cooperating with General Zhang Xun's Nanyang army in the attack.
Is there a problem?"
Sun Jian is also a thief. They have been fighting Jingzhou for such a long time. Small-scale battles don't matter. If they really want to fight a decisive battle, neither he nor the Nanyang Army will cooperate with them. This will make it difficult to exert the effect of one plus one equals two points.
,
But Zhu Jun was different. He was a well-known general among the Han Dynasty. It would be no problem for him to suppress Huang Zu. In this way, he would not have any problems with the Nanyang Army attacking the front line, and the winning rate would be greater.
"I have no problem."
Zhu Jun looked at Sun Jian, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes. His arrangement reasonably avoided possible frictions and maximized everyone's strength. In time, he will definitely become a famous general, but it is a pity.
"I don't have a problem either. It's Huang Zu's honor to cooperate with General Zhu Jun."
Huang Zu also agreed with this allocation. After all, they had been fighting secretly with Sun Jian and Yuan Shaoming for so long, and everyone was afraid that the other would throw a knife at the critical moment, and it would be over.
"I agree."
Zhang Xun, who represented Yuan Shaolai, also nodded. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to be with Huang Zu.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's prepare our troops and send troops to Lu County."
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
Sun Jian's army moved very quickly. After all, they came here to fight, not for tourism. With one order, the whole army marched towards Lu County.
"Lord, Sun Jian has sent out troops."
The movement of the large corps was very loud, and Yuan Shu's scouts easily detected the news and reported it directly to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, then, gentlemen, please prepare. I will defeat Sun Jian until his entire army is annihilated in this battle."
When Sun Jian took action, Yuan Shu was not idle either. The 30,000 militia regiment quickly made up for the losses of each unit, and then they also began to build fortifications to prepare for the coming Sun Jian's army.
Time passed day by day, and Sun Jianjun finally arrived outside Lu County.
"According to plan, I will treat everyone to a drink in Lu County today."
Now that we have reached this step, there is nothing to hesitate. Sun Jian gave the order and the army was divided into two groups. One group was led by Zhu Jun and Huang Zu to press against Yuan Shu's army, while the other group was led by Sun Jian and directly attacked Lu.
county seat.
"Lord, Sun Jian is here to kill us. They are divided into two groups. One group is going straight into our rear. The other group's target is Luxian City. They probably want to join forces with the soldiers and horses in the city to attack us from two groups."
Tian Feng stood on the commander's platform, watching the direction of Sun Jian's troops and horses, and directly understood Sun Jian's strategic intentions.
"Then do you think they are going to fly in two directions, or feint and attack all the way?"
Yuan Shu looked at the two soldiers and horses with thoughts in his eyes.
"Looking at the troops and horses, there is not much difference between the troops and horses on both sides, and with Chen Gong here, they must know how many troops and horses we have, so the safest way is to attack mainly on both sides, so there is nothing we can do
If we make corresponding arrangements, no matter which route is breached, we will lose."
Tian Feng thought for a moment and saw through their intentions again.
"Haha, if we don't have the cards, it might be really difficult this time, but now they are the ones who have the difficulty."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu actually laughed. When the battle comes, Sun Jian will probably be shocked, hahahaha.
"After this battle, it is estimated that Yanzhou will have to rest for a long time."
Although Tian Feng did not say it explicitly, the implication was clear that after this battle, the South would definitely be unable to move northward.
"Well, order all troops and horses to prepare for battle."
"promise."
War drums were rumbling in Yuan Shu's camp, and all the troops were slowly dispatched. Instead of relying on the military camp, they set up formations on both sides of the camp, preparing for a head-to-head contest with Sun Jian.
