Although Lu Bu didn't like Chen Gong's retreat strategy, he had to do so.
If Yuan Shu did not send troops, he would be unable to attack Shangyong City alone. He could not lead the troops alone to attack Shangyong City.
For several days, the army stayed in the camp without any movement.
This change stumped Wang Can, because Yuan Shu and Lu Bu could not retreat, so he could not defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in a short time. Once there was a stalemate with the armies of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Wang Can could not lead troops to reinforce Guo Jiahe
Jia Xu, and the army could only stay in Shangyong City and could not go north.
Shangyong City, County Hall.
Wang Can sent people to invite Xu Shu, Fazheng, Lu Meng, Chen Dao, Zhang Ren, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai to the hall to discuss the matter.
He glanced at the people sitting in the hall and said in a deep voice: "We did not waste time with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu when we led the troops to Shangyong. The sooner we defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's armies, the sooner we can lead the troops
Reinforce Guo Jia and Jia Xu. Now that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu can't retreat, we must find a way to deal with them. We invite you here today to discuss strategies to defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Let us know what you think."
After the words fell, Lu Meng said: "My lord, one of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu led troops from Xuzhou to kill, and the other led troops to kill from Yangzhou. The supply distance of these two people is very long. Once the food in the army is exhausted, the army under his command will be defeated."
If you don't attack, you will be destroyed, so as long as we lead the troops and destroy the food and fodder of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, we can make them retreat without fighting."
Wang Can twirled his beard under his chin and asked: "Amen, have you ever sent someone to find out where Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are collecting grain? Or have you already found out that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu sent people to escort the food?"
Lu Meng shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
He made this suggestion because when he was fighting Cao Cao in Chang'an in the past, he led his soldiers to take a small road and destroy the food and grass of Cao Cao's army, forcing Cao Cao to retreat without a fight, so Lu Meng thought of this method again.
Wang Can thought about it and commented: "The method is good, but it lacks feasibility."
Lu Meng sighed and thought carefully.
Chen Dao continued: "My lord, if Yuan Shu and Lu Bu cannot hold out, we will build a high platform outside their camp, and then let the soldiers stand on the high platform to shoot arrows into Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's camp, killing the soldiers in the camp. This way
As a result, even if there are ravines outside the camp and there are horses to resist, it will be useless. As long as Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are defeated, they can only lead the troops to fight, or lead the troops to retreat, it will be decided after the battle."
This suggestion was not bad, but Wang Can still shook his head.
The reason was that it took too long. Wang Can called everyone to discuss countermeasures in order to defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in a short time, but building a high platform with earth was too time-consuming.
After hearing this, Lu Meng's eyes brightened, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, don't we have a trebuchet? Use the trebuchet to launch big rocks. As long as the big rocks hit Lu Bu's camp, they will definitely be able to retreat."
"
Wang Can nodded and smiled lightly.
Fazheng cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Shangyong and Chengdu are thousands of miles apart, and the road in between is difficult. If you want to transport the trebuchet to Shangyong, I'm afraid it will take countless time. When the trebuchet arrives,
The war situation in the north has probably changed. On the battlefield, every second counts, time is very tight, and we cannot waste too much time!"
Fa Zheng was considering the issue of time. Because the war was unpredictable, no one could predict what would happen next. Therefore, the sooner Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were eliminated, the more beneficial it would be to Wang Can.
Lu Meng frowned slightly and said, "Fa Zheng, do you have any good ideas?"
His tone was a bit strange and yin and yang, which was obviously stimulating Fa Zheng, subtly saying that Fa Zheng is capable and awesome, so he should come up with a way.
When Fazheng heard this, he smiled slightly.
Wang Can glared at Lu Meng and shouted: "Everyone can express his or her own opinions at the meeting. There is no need to worry. Only by working together can we discuss a charter. Everyone can speak freely."
This sentence is obviously to support Fazheng.
Lu Meng glanced at Wang Can in dismay and had to stop.
When Gan Ning saw Lu Meng, he said in a stern tone: "My lord, our army is very powerful, and we have strong generals, good ministers, and good soldiers. As long as we have three people, we can hold Lu Bu down, and two more people can hold back Zhang Liao."
This also allows Lao Dian to lead a large army to fight, and even if he rushes into Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's camp, he can win in a single battle."
Gan Ning led his warships to fight on the river. When he encountered the so-called long snake formation, chain formation, etc., he never paid attention to them. In Gan Ning's eyes, the formations were all fake and unreliable.
As long as you are strong, you can go on a rampage.
At this time, Wang Can's army is fighting Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Wang Can's strength is greater than that of the two, so he can go on a rampage.
As long as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are contained, and Dian Wei, Lu Meng and others lead the troops to fight, it will be enough to defeat Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, thereby establishing the situation in the east of Yizhou.
Gan Ning's idea is that a big fist is the last word. As long as the army is strong and the fist is strong, it is enough.
Zhou Tai was obviously also influenced by Gan Ning, nodded and agreed with Gan Ning's view.
Zhang Ren said again: "My lord, you are too worried about the situation in the north. With Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, and Xun You commanding the army, we will definitely defeat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. As long as we stick to Shangyong, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will not
Fight and retreat."
Zhang Ren's method was to wait for the other two armies to defeat the enemy, thereby scaring Yuan Shu and Lu Bu away.
Wang Can shook his head and said: "It's too passive to defend Shangyong. Yuan Shu and Lu Bu can't defend it. They just have a wait-and-see attitude. They want to determine whether Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can win. Once Yuan Shao and Cao Cao lose, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will
Retreat, but once Yuan Shao and Cao Cao win, we will be in danger. At that time, we will not only face the crazy attack of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, but also the pressure of Yuan and Cao, so we must take the initiative and cannot wait passively."
After hearing Wang Can's words, Zhang Ren could only nodded and admitted.
Wang Can frowned, his eyes wandered back and forth in the hall, and finally fell on Xu Shu, asking: "Yuan Zhi, if you have any opinions, please tell me."
Xu Shu said sternly: "My lord, based on your humble suggestion, retreat fifty miles!"
Wang Can's face changed drastically, showing a confused look.
As long as he retreats, he must abandon Shangyong City and retreat fifty miles. This is not a simple retreat. He stared at Xu Shu and saw that Xu Shu was confident and calmed down again.
Wang Can took a deep breath, thought carefully, and then his eyes lit up.
He looked at Xu Shu and said loudly: "Yuan Zhi, you want to lure the enemy deep and then wait for an opportunity to annihilate them!"
Xu Shu nodded and said: "My lord, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are both arrogant people. Although we won the battle, as long as we retreat fifty miles, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will definitely think that we are timid and want to stay in retreat. Therefore, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu
We will definitely lead the troops in pursuit. As long as they dare to chase them out, we will have a chance to annihilate them. Moreover, our retreat also has the advantage of shortening the logistics supply line and lengthening the supply route of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu."
Fa Zheng immediately asked: "Brother Yuanzhi, Shangyong City has hoarded a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, cloth and other items, and there are many people in the city. What should we do with it?"
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Move them all and leave nothing useful to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu!"
"Hi! His!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked by Xu Shu's generosity. This method was a huge project, and just evacuating the people in the city was a very difficult thing to handle.
