Chapter 615 Yuan Shu's Biggest Weakness
After the destruction of Qi, Yuan Shu could be said to be isolated and helpless in the Central Plains. In the relationship between everyone being allies, Sun Ce would also support him with some supplies and equipment, but his troops were powerless.
At this moment, Luo State is fully dealing with Shanyue, and is also trying to contact Wuxi Barbarians. There is no extra force to go north. Relatively speaking, if the two barbarians can be conquered, the strength of Luo State will inevitably reach a new height.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo State has completely abandoned Jiangbei and fully built Jiangnan.
The Han army entered Xuzhou, Zhang Fei was responsible for guarding, and Lu Bu continued to fight guerrillas with Yuan Shu on the front battlefield... Of course, Zhang Fei himself was too idle, and he planned to run over to help in private several times, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.
"……………………” No matter what Zhang Fei said, Zhao Yun took him back silently, and then stared at him expressionlessly. In the end, Zhang Fei, who was conscious of his mistakes, finally admitted his conscience and guarded Xuzhou obediently.
Besides, there is nothing to do. The only thing that can be destroyed is Zhang Chao's tribe. In fact, Que Xuan, Zuo Rong and Zang Ba tribes are still cruising within Xuzhou, but the approximate location is already known, so just sweep it a little.
"It's winter coming soon. It seems that Yuan Shu has given up, right?" Lu Bu was also following Xu Shu's original suggestion and gradually advancing, and in a blink of an eye, he had already taken down Jiujiang County.
This means that Yuan Shu only had the territory of Runan County and Lujiang County.
After winter begins, even if you plan to continue fighting, you will face even more cruel conditions. After all, everyone launches attacks around the autumn harvest, and they don’t know if Yuan Shu has prepared clothes for wintering.
If not, Yuan Jun's soldiers would probably be more sad in winter.
"General, do we still need to continue to advance?" Zhang Liao stepped forward and asked. If he continued, he might be able to occupy at least a few more counties in Runan before it completely became cold.
It has no practical effect, but it can continue to squeeze Yuan Shu's range of activities. Calculate that Yuan Shu has at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops, that is, it is scattered everywhere. If it is a gathering operation, it will be too easy to find it.
"The promotion must be promoted, but not from here..." Lu Bu pointed at his feet. This was Dangtu from Jiujiang County, and it was also the place where their main force was stationed.
The Chen County has been stationed by other generals, such as Yu Jin and Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian. In fact, there are only 5,000 combat soldiers on the side of Jiujiang. Excluding Lu Bu, Xu Shu and Zhang Liao’s troops, the rest are Lian and Cao Xing’s troops.
"You three stayed to guard the guards. After Zhang Fei got it done, he would send someone to help, and maybe he would come to join in the fun." Lu Bu said slowly, "Yuanzhi and I went to Runan to cooperate with the other four departments of Chen County to squeeze over on both sides. Until the weather is so cold that it is too cold, at least we must control the entire Runan."
In this way, if the front line is further advanced, at least there is no need to worry that the defenders of Jiujiang County may be attacked from both sides. Besides, there is a Jiujiang County and Lujiang County separated by Jiujiang County, which feels strange.
"General, the target has tens of thousands of troops!" Zhang Liao was still very worried.
If the garrisons of Chen County were assembled, then thousands of troops would be fine. The problem was that Lu Bu only brought two thousand troops northward. If he encountered a full-scale interception of the enemy, then there would be a big problem.
"Haha, even if there are tens of thousands, it's just a group of native chickens and dogs!" Lu Bu laughed and disagreed.
It's not just because of the scroll, but because of Yuan Shu's combat effectiveness, he really doesn't care about it. If Yuan Shu was really that powerful, he wouldn't be still fighting guerrillas. He harassed him from time to time, but dared not confront him head-on.
If they continue, the local officials in Runan County will probably be unable to help but betray Yuan Shu.
"On the contrary, you must be careful here. After all, I have no scroll to leave for you. Yuan Shu may have 10,000 or 20,000 people in Lujiang, and they will raid north when necessary. Our soldiers are naturally not afraid of them, and even without the blessing of magic, fighting head-on will be no problem, but you must be careful that the other party will use tricks." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao.
"Although this general is relieved, the last general will not fight a war that is unsure." Zhang Liao replied quickly.
"When I'm not sure, but I have to fight, I have to bite the bullet!" Lu Bu cursed with a smile.
"That's certainly. Bingzhou men are never afraid of going to fight to kill the enemy!" Zhang Liao said with a smile. Although everyone is different from the counties, they are all from Bingzhou. According to factions, Zhang Liao is strictly considered the Bingzhou system.
But he was transferred to Guan Yu very early, so he was labeled as the direct descendant of Liu Tao.
After this label, Lu Bu did not get too close to Zhang Liao, so as not to cause misunderstandings from Liu Tao. However, both of them were from Bingzhou and were half of their fellow countrymen. In many things, Zhang Liao would give him some appropriate words.
But in terms of big things, he must be on Liu Tao's side, after all, Zhang Liao is such a person.
After arranging the defense, Lu Bu also started to set out. Now Jiujiang County has temporarily entered a state of military control. Zhang Liao is not only responsible for local military affairs, but also local government affairs, public security, etc.
These things were originally something that Lu Bu was responsible for. The latter went north at this moment and perhaps felt that this thing was a headache, so he simply gave it to Zhang Liao to deal with. This problem was only a few days later, when Zhang Liao realized...
"General, Xiyang's side has heard news that the county magistrate there sent people to say that there were large troops stationed in the area of Yuan Shu's army." On the third day of the march, the scout came to Lu Bu to report.
"We fought from Shen County to Ruyin, and then came to report the news..." Lu Bu was a little disdainful, after all, their next goal was Xiyang.
According to Xu Shu's analysis, at least the main force of the enemy should be active around the Pingyu range. Unexpectedly, a large number of troops gathered in Xiyang.
"Maybe it was deliberately attracted to us in the decisive battle. After all, there were only two thousand people on our side, and they were all cavalry. As long as a reasonable terrain was set up and the actions of cavalry were restricted, it would be easy to deal with it!" Xu Shu reminded.
"Of course this is possible, and it can even be said to be very likely. I will come here to serve as the bait myself. If the other party doesn't come to fight, there is no need to fight!" Lu Bu said casually.
This time he went north, using him as bait to attract Yuan Shu's main force, and then the main force from Chen County quickly occupied the territory southward. When Yuan Shu reacted, it was estimated that the huge territory in the northern part of Runan County had been occupied by them.
"Then how do we fight? Or not?" Xu Shu asked.
"Want it, and understand the good terrain situation, and fight it as soon as it should!" Lu Bu certainly would not be afraid of anything, "Do you know what the enemy's biggest weakness is? That is, now under Yuan Shu, there is no excellent general who can show off or an excellent strategist! Otherwise, he would not be really attracted by me as a bait!"
