Chapter 564 Strategy Priority
While listening to Wu Jing's dissuasion, Sun Quan entered the spiritual world in a deep spirit. At this moment, Lu Bu was only two blood left. He was a total of five blood, and he was completely seriously injured. Even if he continued to pursue, I believe that Lu Bu would not be able to fight again. Lu Bu was not just a force of force, but also the spiritual pillar of the entire Lu Bu legion. With Lu Bu and without Lu Bu, the combat power of Lu Bu legion is completely different. Therefore, Sun Quan was really reluctant to let such an opportunity.
Just now, if Lu Bu hadn't heard the movement in the distance, and rushed over to rescue in time and penetrated the encirclement arranged by Sun Quan, Sun Quan would have long been able to take Lu Bu and his cavalry.
The rabbit who had already reached the bowl finally ran away, how could Sun Quan be willing to do so?
The most important thing is that if Sun Quan expected it was not bad, Cao Cao would soon lead a large army to attack Lu Bu. If he didn't take the opportunity to solve Lu Bu, wouldn't he be a wedding dress for Cao Cao in vain?
The January period of the spiritual world is prone to too many variables, and Sun Quan really can't wait. Moreover, after one month, Sun Quan may not be able to get good cards in the next round of cards, and then successfully kill Lu Bu in the illusion. Only by taking action personally like Mie Yan Baihu is the safest solution for Sun Quan.
In addition, even if you don’t take the hand to kill Lu Bu, the entire Xuzhou area is almost like a beautiful girl lying there waiting for Sun Quan to come. If Sun Quan can seize the opportunity, defeat Lu Bu and successfully resist Cao Cao, then half of the country will be in the hands of the Sun family, and the Sun family that unifies the entire south can be compared with Yuan Shao who unifies the north. In the end, Cao Cao, who is sandwiched in the middle, will have no way out.
"How feasible is it to recruit Lu Bu's remnants while pursuing him?" Sun Quan asked.
After hearing Sun Quan ask such a question, Wu Jing knew that Sun Quan still did not give up trying to take advantage of the situation to invade Xuzhou.
"It's not feasible." Wu Jing replied in a scattered manner, "Although Lu Bu is injured and retreated, he still has the entire Xuzhou as a backing and is not in a desperate situation. Most of his men followed Lu Bu for a long time and were not easily betrayed."
"What if Lu Bu is dead?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.
"If Lu Bu is dead?" Wu Jing narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "If Lu Bu is dead, there may be a few loyal people who will think about avenging Lu Bu, but most of them are people who are conscious of the times and the possibility of surrender should be very high."
"Don't forget, we still have Chen Deng as hostages." Sun Quan reminded Wu Jing, "Send someone to contact Chen secretly to see if he can act as an insider, otherwise his son would not want it."
"Yes." Wu Jing nodded and then said, "But just one Chen is probably not enough."
Sun Quan waved his hand,
"There is no problem within Xuzhou. If the masters have changed several times, those gentry probably have been used to it. Only one Chen takes the lead, and the rest will be natural." Sun Quan said, "So, the most important thing is to defeat Lu Bu on the front battlefield. Although Lu Bu was defeated this time, he still has at least tens of thousands of troops under his command. With our Guangling area, it is indeed too difficult to conquer Lu Bu. However, now we are not just one Guangling."
"oh?"
Wu Jing's face changed. Could it be that Sun Quan really wants to dispatch troops from Jiangdong? He is not afraid of the emptiness of the base camp, but instead he is seized by Shan Yue and is making trouble with both sides?
It is true that there are few aspiring people in Shanyue, so they may not be able to see such opportunities, but it is also true that simple Shanyue talents are more likely to be encouraged and used. You must know that no matter whether it is within or outside Jiangdong, there are many people who secretly collude with Shanyue and try to cause trouble for the Sun family!
However, Wu Jing's concerns were obviously redundant, because Sun Quan was not interested in Jiangdong Base Camp, but
"Shouchun!"
"Call Yang Hong and Zhang Xun, I want to ask how many available soldiers are left in Shouchun!" Sun Quan ordered, "Yuan Shu had fought with Lu Bu and Cao Cao. Although he was defeated in the end, I believe that the remaining soldiers who had gradually collected them for so long will not be a small number. Isn't Shouchun short of food? They will definitely not be able to support so many soldiers. So we can help them raise them. It just so happens that Yang Hong and Zhang Xun are all here, so it's easy to incorporate them. If you eat our food, you must not do anything!"
"This... is possible." Wu Jing's eyes flashed, and he began to calculate silently in his heart. "Shouchun's troops are not less than us now, and there are at least 10,000 or 20,000. If he is recruited along the way, he can even have 30,000 or 50,000 along the way, which is enough to fight against the poor morale Lu Bu army. But..."
Wu Jing soon became worried again.
"Doing this will inevitably transfer all Shouchun's troops. What should Shouchun do after that? In addition, if we suddenly increase so many troops, our food and grass will probably be tight and the supply will be insufficient."
"Shouchun is completely ignored and just let it go. Cao Cao wants to give it to him directly. Cao Cao doesn't dare to do anything even if he seizes Shouchun. As long as the Lujiang to Guangling line is still in our hands, Jiangdong will be stable. Moreover, occupying Shouchun will only disperse Cao Cao's troops, which is not conducive to his focus on Yuan Shao's strategic layout. Therefore, Shouchun is a useless trick for Cao Cao today. In my opinion, Cao Cao not only will not occupy Shouchun, but will also sell us one by the way and seal Shouchun to us." Sun Quan said, "So, the focus between us and Cao Cao is actually on Xuzhou. Whoever can seize Xuzhou as soon as possible is the key!"
"What about the food and grass?" Wu Jing asked again.
Sun Quan smiled,
"Xuzhou is the world's granary. After conquering Xuzhou, why worry about not being able to support these tens of thousands of soldiers? Besides, even if we don't attack Xuzhou, do you think my elder brother doesn't want this soldier from Yuan Shu? What should I raise is not to support! Jiangdong is so big, there are always some squeezes."
"This matter is of great importance. You'd better write a letter and tell your elder brother in person. In addition, it's not a trivial matter for you to fight Shouchun. If your elder brother has other plans, don't mess up his plans." Wu Jing finally reminded Sun Quan.
Sun Quan frowned. There was no telephone number in ancient times. Even if a letter was agreed directly, it would take a lot of time. If you argue repeatedly, the daylily will be cold. Now Sun Ce is not staying in Wujun, but at the front line in the west. On the other hand, Sun Quan is in the east, and the distance between the two is too far away, which is really easy to delay the fighter jet.
"I wrote a letter, but time is too tight to wait for the response there, so I can only take action and report it first. Shouchun is already close to Xuzhou, and it is a timely help to attack Xuzhou. Using Shouchun's troops to attack Jingzhou is only icing on the cake. I believe my elder brother will make the same choice for this opportunity." Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "And, in my opinion, seizing Xuzhou is the first strategy now. As long as you completely occupy Xuzhou, Cao Cao will not be able to start a war with us rashly. As for Jingzhou, you can wait until Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fight to make a decisive plan."
