The next day, in the government hall of General Shouchun's Mansion, the lineup was ready.

Chen Gong, Chen Deng and Lu Su are on the left, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Zang Ba and others are on the right.

Just looking at this lineup, you can tell that Lu Bu attaches great importance to this military meeting.

Lin Mo, who was quite famous but had no name in the credit book, was given the post of chief bookkeeper and stood behind Lu Su.

There is only one theme for today's military discussion, which is to attack the Lujiang River.

But the point is not whether to fight or not. Fighting must be fought. This is no longer within the scope of discussion.

The purpose of discussing troops is to discuss how to fight.

Since Cao Cao withdrew his troops, everyone has seen that he kept the desperate Yuan Shu in captivity and made great contributions to Lu Bu. His purpose was to make a snipe and a clam fight for the fishermen's profit.

Therefore, how many people can be killed by attacking Lujiang? What should Yuan Shu do if he takes revenge at this time? What should he do if Cao Cao takes action when the two armies confront each other?

Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Zang Ba and others were the most fierce in fighting, claiming that 15,000 men could defeat Liu Xun.

Wei Yue expressed his dissatisfaction. There was no need for so many people. Now that his reputation was at its peak, 10,000 people were too many.

The generals are eager to make meritorious deeds, and Lu Bu sees this. They are also the atmosphere group who calls for help. The real decision must be made by the counselors group.

These people who play with their brains often look deeper and know that war cannot be fought with passion.

Chen Gong proposed to send 30,000 people to attack Wan County, which is governed by Lujiang River, with a thunderous force. Once Wan County is defeated, Lujiang will become the second Jiujiang.

After the Shouchun Battle, it took more than a month to integrate the Huainan prisoners with the original Xuzhou Army, which totaled 45,000 people.

With 15,000 soldiers and horses left to defend the city, even if Yuan Shu suddenly launches an attack, it will still be more than enough to hold on until the army comes back for reinforcements.

Chen Deng suggested that 20,000 people would be enough. He should focus on one encirclement point for reinforcements and not attack Wan County. After entering Lujiang River, he would deal with it one by one. It depends on whether Liu Xun can save him or not.

If you don't save them, once other counties are besieged, they will voluntarily surrender without even attacking the city.

If Liu Xun leads a large army to help, with 20,000 fighting against 20,000, relying on the old foundation of Bingzhou and the bravery of the general, it will be easy to defeat him head-on.

Lu Su praised Chen Deng's strategy and said that if Jiujiang was newly occupied, more people should be retained.

After all, besides Yuan Shu, Cao Cao is also an extremely dangerous person.

Lu Bu, who was sitting on the handsome chair, was leaning sideways with his right hand on his chin and thinking deeply. What they both mentioned was reasonable. Chen Gong wanted to cut the knot quickly without giving Yuan Shu and Cao Cao time to react.

Chen Deng mainly focuses on stability, and his strategy does not find the possibility of failure, but it will take longer.

Undecided, Lu Bu turned his attention to Lin Mo, "Yunwen, whether it was when Peicheng defeated Cao Cao or Shouchun defeated Yuan Shu, your strategies were watertight. Why are you silent this time?"

Good son-in-law, today is the time for everyone to get to know you in a real sense. Don’t embarrass me.

Everyone's eyes also followed Lu Bu and landed on Lin Mo.

Chen Gong and the others were fine. The generals in the general group were unavoidable and looked down on them. They even looked at the son-in-law in their hearts, and they didn't know if Lu Bu specifically asked him to gain military glory in the military camp.

Those so-called ingenious plans were only heard from hearsay. They always believe that seeing is believing, so it is difficult for them to fully agree.

Lin Mo first clasped his fists and bowed, and then said truthfully: "Sir, my father-in-law, the other party missed the loophole first twice before. I just saw the key point. This time Liu Xun just stood firm in Lujiang. We can't compare our actions.

”

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but show a little sneer on their faces, but they didn't say it clearly.

Lu Bu's heart sank, he must have had diarrhea at the critical moment.

If it really doesn’t work, you can just second your suggestion to one of the two.

Lu Bu didn't want his son-in-law's first military meeting to be too ugly, so he even signaled with his eyes, "But do you also agree with Gongtai or Yuanlong's strategy?"

"That's not true."

Lin Mo said calmly: "My son-in-law agrees with Wei Duwei's strategy. It is enough to attack Lujiang with 10,000 troops."

Chen Gong, Chen Deng and others looked at each other with suspicion on their faces.

Ten thousand people are too weak whether it is to attack a city or to besiege a point to provide reinforcements.

Wei Yue chuckled, "Heroes think alike. Liu Xun was already frightened by our previous victory. Ten thousand people would be enough to beat them all over the ground."

Lu Bu pursed his lips and stared at Lin Mo. He did not agree with Wei Yue's words.

After Shouchun changed hands, he wrote a letter to persuade Liu Xun to surrender, but what did he say in response to the letter? If you want to surrender to us, you are also surrendering to the imperial court. Why should I surrender to you?

This is the disadvantage of coming from a humble background.

The only one who can compete with the imperial court is the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three princes.

No matter how he chooses Liu Xun, he will never think highly of Lu Bu.

Naturally, there is no such thing as timidity.

"Are you worried about Cao's army's sudden movements, so you left more than 30,000 men behind?" Lu Bu said in a dull voice.

"Last year, Zhang Ji from Guanzhong led an army of 100,000 to invade Jingxiang and died in the battle at Rangcheng. After that, his nephew Zhang Xiu took over the army and now stationed troops in Wancheng, allied with Liu Biao and eyeing Xuchang.

In addition, after Yuan Shu was defeated and fled, the powerful mountain bandits in various parts of Nanyang were separatist, and Cao Cao was bound to take this opportunity to march south."

Lin Mo's analysis made Chen Gong and others nod repeatedly.

Compared to Huainan, Cao Cao was more anxious to clean up the situation in Nanyang.

"In that case, why only send 10,000 troops?"

"Because only in this way can we ensure that we are facing Liu Xun's 20,000 troops and will not be able to deal with his reinforcements."

After Lin Mo said this, everyone was in awe, and even murmured in a low voice.

The Lujiang River is backed by the Yangtze River, so there will be no reinforcements.

"Speak clearly," Lu Bu said patiently.

"In addition to Liu Xun's 20,000 troops, there are also numerous mountain bandits in Lujiang. In the Chaohu area, Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo and Xu Qian each have thousands of troops; on Tianzhu Mountain, Chen Lan and Lei Bo lead more than 10,000 troops. If They joined in..." Lin Mo didn't need to say anything else.

Everyone also showed expressions of realization.

Regardless of whether these bandits are powerful or powerful, they are actually easily ignored in a war.

Because apart from taking advantage of the situation, these people are basically not willing to take the initiative to get into the muddy water.

"These people don't seem to follow Liu Xun's orders." Gao Shun frowned.

"Bandits, if they were ordered to do so, they would not be bandits."

Lin Mo explained with a smile: "There is no guarantee that Liu Xun will not bribe them with money and silk to help them fight."

That's right. If people who are crazy about poverty are given some money and food, they don't have to submit to their subordinates. They will probably bring their soldiers and horses to the side and wave the flag without even thinking about it.

Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully. My son-in-law was very considerate and remembered that Zang Ba was like this in the Taishan area.

"If only 10,000 people go there, Liu Xun will not bother to bribe the bandits to help in the war. Secondly, these powerful bandits will feel that they are too defensive and weak, and they may have other ideas." Chen Gong twirled his goatee and followed the topic. Go on.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to look at Lin Mo, who nodded and said: "Mr. Gongtai, please give me your opinion."

The generals also reacted. If only 10,000 people were sent, Liu Xun would probably be embarrassed to guard Wan County and not leave the city, because he would also be worried about the bandits being bribed by him.

After the idea came to his mind, he couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Lin Mo. Marquis Wen, the son-in-law, was quite good.

It's the same use of troops, but the difference in numbers is enough to affect the direction of the entire battle. If he hadn't pointed it out, I would have had no idea that there was such a complicated doorway.

Moreover, he seems to have a very thorough understanding of the situation in Lujiang, from Tianzhu Mountain to Chaohu, from bandits to powerful men, and he seems to know himself and the enemy well.

Wei Yue scratched his head and felt melancholy. It turned out that the heroes didn't have the same views, but there seemed to be hundreds of millions of differences.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Bu raised the corner of his mouth and felt a little proud. My son-in-law did not disappoint me. He did a good job in establishing his authority today.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's lead ten thousand troops south to Lujiang." When he said this, Lu Bu looked very embarrassed and seemed to have no choice but to do it.

It’s so hard for me. I have to beat my son-in-law to establish his authority. It’s very tiring.

Lin Mo had already experienced the shamelessness of his old father-in-law, and it was commonplace.

He knew Lu Bu's intentions. These generals who had narrowly escaped death on the battlefield all had an unruly temperament. If he wanted to control them as a counselor, his own road would actually be quite long.

But the tension in my heart has finally relaxed. Last night’s homework was not in vain.

Next, it depends on whether the battle in Lujiang can proceed as expected.
