Chapter 208: A war that concerns the overall situation
"Yuan Gong will win this battle. If this is the case, then Lu Su will not be the enemy. Should we ignore it for now?" Liu Bei once again expressed euphemistically that it was pointless to attack Lu Su.
"Fifty thousand troops, how can we skip it? As long as we can gather them, we can reach 200,000 people and increase our elite troops to 20,000." Liu Pi shook his head and said excitedly.
There are only 30,000 to 40,000 people in Runan City, but Runan is a county. There are more than ten cities, and the total number of people is about 150,000. Including Lu Su's army, the number is 200,000.[
Liu Pi will still settle this account.
"Alas." Liu Bei sighed in his heart when he heard this. Even though Liu Pi knew that annexing Lu Su would have no impact on the general situation of the world, he still wanted to annex Lu Su. This was really too greedy.
"I wonder how many soldiers Xuande thinks are needed to deal with this Lu Su?" Liu Pi then asked regardless of Liu Bei's feelings.
"Lu Su started with eighty elite soldiers. Everywhere he went, the princes were wiped out. Now he has finally reached the point where he has five thousand elite soldiers, which cannot be underestimated. If he sends too many elite soldiers, Runan's defense will be empty. If he sends too few,
Otherwise it will be impossible to attack."
Liu Bei shook his head and said.
"That's right. There are fewer dispatches, but nothing can be captured. As for letting go, there is no need to worry. I have news that Mr. Yuan is about to go south."
Liu Pi said with a smile.
"Finally, we have taken a crucial step." Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said. His heart was filled with excitement. Yuan Shao had sent troops.
To be honest, Liu Bei felt that Yuan Shao or Cao Cao were competitors. But Liu Bei could clearly feel that Cao Cao was several times more powerful than Yuan Shao.
Anyway, the north will definitely become the one between these two people, so it is better to be given to Yuan Shao than to be given to Cao Cao. This is why Liu Bei temporarily helped Yuan Shao.
Now that Yuan Shao has finally moved south, the battle between Yuan and Cao has finally begun. I hope that Yuan Shao will win, but I also hope that he will not win all at once.
A bright light flashed in Liu Bei's heart. Because Yuan Shao was about to go south, he temporarily ignored Lu Su's existence.
"Tomorrow, I will mobilize 8,500 elite troops to attack Lu Su. We must defeat him in one battle. Xuande will go with me." Liu Pi finally decided.
In the end, Liu Pi still paid attention to Lu Su. It was not enough to attack with 8,500 elite troops. He also had to recruit the strength of Liu Bei's three brothers.
"Okay." Liu Bei nodded and said.
With Liu Pi's decision, the military operation of the Runan forces to attack Lu Su was basically determined. Early the next morning, Liu Pi ordered 8,500 elite troops, with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei as generals, to attack
Go south to attack Lu Su.
South, Yangzhou area.
A huge camp stands proudly on the flat ground. Although it is mostly divided into groups, the tents are well-proportioned and murderous.
In these three days, Lu Su and Zhao Yun made everything look good.[
Not only did they build tents, but they also dug trenches and built horses. They pretended to defend the camp. In addition, Lu Su and Zhao Yun prepared the most basic tool for siege, the ladder.
Use it to attack Runan.
It's late at night, inside the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Fenggao sat on the commander's seat, followed by Zhao Yun and Lu Su.
Liu Feng glanced at the sky and said: "It's almost time for the army to set off. This battle will determine whether we can keep our previous victory or fail and defect to Jingchu, or annex Liu Pi and defect to Jingchu."
The difference between before and after is huge, success or failure can be said to depend on this."
