——"Mr. Xu, in your opinion, if there is a way to make Sun Ce, the vanguard, fail to win before the attack, then half of the five armies will be destroyed."
Lu Yu asked boldly.
Xu Shu's answer was not surprising. "It's not that half of it collapsed, but that it all collapsed."
He pointed at the map and started telling the story one by one.
"The reason why I designed Liu Bei's escape route is Xiapi City in Xuzhou, because it can echo Sun Ce who is heading north. If Guangling City is lost, Xuzhou will undoubtedly open a gap. With the bravery of Sun Ce and Jiangdong's children,
Combined with the bravery of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, it is very likely that Xuzhou can be captured in one go. In this case, Cao Jun will have to divide a large number of soldiers and horses to guard against Xuzhou!"
"But once the troops are divided, the defense lines against Guanxi and Jingzhou will inevitably shrink, and the defensive strength will also be tightened. This will cause the situation of 'Cao's army is gone'. Whether it is Liu Biao or Han Sui, Ma Teng will never give up such a God-given
If there is a good opportunity, the pressure on the southern and western territories will increase dramatically in vain."
Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused and continued to point his finger to the north.
"As a result, Cao Jun had to mobilize the protection of the northern border to make up for the gap between the southern and western fronts. This is exactly the opportunity Yuan Shao's 300,000 troops are waiting for!"
"No matter how indecisive Yuan Shao is! How could he not understand such a clear and clear situation? Coupled with the so-called 'Yinlin' threat theory, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu are bound to be involved in this matter.
Work together and work together,
In this way... As a result, almost every defensive line of Cao's army is full of dangers, and defeat is inevitable! And the most important thing about this layout is Sun Ce's 'vanguard' mentioned by Lu Situ. This is the five-pronged attack on Cao.
The eye of victory and defeat!"
The loss is due to the person who set up this situation.
otherwise…
After all, Lu Yu may not be able to fully understand this journey.
But...actually, it's okay. All of Xu Shu's calculations are based on a major premise, that is, Sun Ce can successfully capture Guangling City and join forces with Liu Bei in Xuzhou!
And the chess piece Chen Deng specially deployed by Lu Yu in Guangling City is the biggest variable!
Now it is more direct, hitting the snake seven inches. Now... the person who set up this game has explained the detailed strategy. This is almost the beginning of the book. Lu Yu has a lot of room for maneuver.
"Mr. Xu, I know what to do..."
Lu Yu's words were quite certain, and he seemed to become confident all of a sudden.
Xu Shu could see what Lu Yu was thinking at a glance, "When I laid out this situation, I took into consideration that Jiangdong Sun Ce was the only breakthrough point and the only weakness. However, he was very skilled in martial arts, so it was not easy for him to fail even after his initial attack."
easy."
Ha ha…
What Xu Shu said was quite serious. This is the key to the layout, and this is also the key to breaking the situation.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Lu Yu laughed happily and patted Xu Shu on the shoulder.
"Mr. Xu only makes decisions. As for the execution, leave it to me, Lu Yu. Isn't he just Sun Ce? Within ten days, he will be severely injured, bedridden, and will almost die at the hands of assassins!"
assassin?
Bedridden?
Lu Yu's words made Xu Shu slightly startled. What a strong tone. The little overlord Sun Bofu was so skilled in martial arts? How could he fall into the hands of an assassin so easily?
Besides, in the land of Jiangdong? Is there anyone who can stab him? Is there any force that dares to stab him? This is simply unbelievable.
Seeing Xu Shu's suspicion, Lu Yu smiled again and said, "Mr. Xu, just be optimistic...we will wait and see!"
In just one sentence, Jiangdong, the most important "vanguard", was exposed...
Lu Yu's eyes flickered again, and he pointed in the direction of the North and Jingzhou on the map.
The whole person looked like he was smiling.
"As for Liu Biao and Yuan Shao... they are still the same 'old bastard' image as always! Haha, since they are hesitating and waiting for the 'vanguard' to charge into the battle, then Long Xiaoying also gives them a surprise each.
!”
Lu Yu's fingers gently crossed Jingzhou, crossed Bingzhou, and finally stopped in the direction of Yanmen and Youzhou Wangjing respectively.
"Yuan Shao is actually the easiest person to deceive. Just ask him to answer multiple-choice questions all the time... The more he chooses, the more confused his mind becomes. The more he chooses, the more his men's civil and military forces fall apart. Each one takes sides and serves his own interests.
profit!"
Speaking of which…
What Lu Yu thought of was.
According to records in ancient books and documents, the team of counselors under Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu seemed to be powerful and powerful, but in fact they were like paper tigers.
Or the two major factions of Ruying Clan and Jizhou Talents!
The former has a more prominent family background, while the latter has more outstanding abilities. It is inevitable that there will be some disagreements between the two sides along the way, but Yuan Ying is advancing with great success. After victory, the two sides still respect each other as guests, and there is no need to fight to the death.
It was precisely on a key multiple-choice question that the two sides became hostile to each other and fell apart!
And the key choice is to welcome the Emperor!
Perhaps, if there was no external pressure, they could still be harmonious on the surface, but Cao Cao was the first to greet the emperor and seize the opportunity.
This also exacerbated the breakdown in the relationship between the Ruying family under Yuan Shao and the talented people in Jizhou.
The current situation of peace and harmony is all an illusion...
It's because like the four states in the north, their life is too smooth and too comfortable, and what Lu Yu wants to do is to make Yuan Ying less comfortable...
Let Yuan Ying be filled with multiple-choice questions?
Let these multiple-choice questions cause the two groups of counselors to abandon the tacit understanding they had in the past, leaving only the either/or struggle for power!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu grinned, and his confident smile reappeared.
If before, he was only 60% sure of breaking this situation, then... today, with Xu Shu's words, he is 99% sure!
"Where is Dian Dutong?"
A command...
"The general is here!" Dian Wei, who was guarding the door, quickly walked in.
Lu Yu immediately ordered: "Summon Cheng Sima, Uncle Liu Huang, General Cao Wenlie, General Zhang Wenyuan, and General Huang Hansheng to see me immediately!"
"Here!"
After giving instructions, Dian Wei reminded, "Master Lu, General Cao Anmin from the scout camp, he is still in prison!"
"Let it out..." Lu Yu tapped his forehead, daring to forget about this matter.
Speaking of which, he remembered it once after the Yuedan Review, but... I heard that Cao Anmin did not cry or make trouble in prison, could eat several large bowls at each meal, and was still studying "Thirty-Six Strategies" behind closed doors.
, Lu Yu could simply lock him up for a few more days, which would be regarded as letting him work hard!
Now it’s time to figure out how to employ people!
"Here!" Dian Wei shouted again and went to make arrangements.
…
…
The sky is bright and clear, and Xudu City has a bit of a rainy feel today.
Xiahou Dun walked into the dormitory of Situ Mansion. He was one of the few clan members who could enter Cao Cao's bedroom without being informed, and he was also one of the few who knew the truth about "Cao Cao killed someone in his dream"!
As soon as he entered it, Cao Cao suddenly woke up.
Xiahou Dun did not exchange greetings, and immediately slowly unfolded several scrolls of pictures in front of Cao Cao.
The first picture is the scene when Xu Shu and Liu Bei met in Meilin!
The second picture is the scene when Leng Shouguang, the eunuch of the Changqiu Palace, pretends to be a vegetable farmer and meets Liu Bei in the Plum Forest!
The third picture is of Xu Shu and Leng Shouguang whispering when they met in the vegetable garden.
Xiahou Dun whispered: "Everything that elder brother asked me to investigate has been cleared up, but this person...has contact with Han Ting and Liu Xuande."
"who is he?"
Xiahou Dun said truthfully: "A native of Yingchuan, his original name was Xu Fu, and later he changed his name to Xu Shu, with the courtesy name Wenruo. According to investigations, he has a close relationship with Xun Lingjun!"
oh…
Cao Cao nodded lightly, looking at these pictures, a cold look in his eyes. "Continue to check, who has this Xu Shu met in the past few days? Where is he now? I want to know!"
"Understood." Xiahou Dun solemnly agreed.
But at this moment.
Xia Houlian came in a hurry. He was Xiahou Dun's brother and a person whom Cao Cao could trust. However, he did not dare to enter Cao Cao's bedroom and waited outside the door.
"Cao Sikong, elder brother, just... found this Xu Shu!"
As soon as I heard the words "find Xu Shu"!
"Come in!"
Cao Cao immediately gave an order...
Xia Houlian then entered Cao Cao's bedroom.
Cao Cao asked impatiently: "Where is Xu Shu? Didn't he capture him?"
"No...no, because he...he is in Situ's Mansion!" When answering this sentence, Xia Houlian was a little nervous. After all, Xu Shu was in Situ's Mansion, and this matter was too sensitive. "Today, Xu Shu came back from outside the city in a hurry.
First we went back to Xujia Village on the banks of the Ying River, and then...then we went to the Shangshutai to visit Xun Lingjun, and then...then we went to Situ Mansion together!"
Situ Mansion?
Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses. He remembered that he had just talked with Yu'er. Xun Lingjun sent a message saying that... he had brought someone to break the current situation!
This person...this person is actually Xu Shu? Xu Yuanzhi who set up this situation?
this…
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He was a little confused? Xu Shu had set up this situation? Then why... he wanted to come back to visit Xun Lingjun and Lu Yu? He couldn't personally solve the situation he had set up, right?
Seeing his posture, Xiahou Dun was afraid that his elder brother would suspect Lu Yu, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, my second brother...he will never..."
He wanted to say that he would never conspire with Xu Shu.
But before he could say anything, Cao Cao waved his hand directly. "I know, I trust Lu Yu more than you!"
With this in mind, Cao Cao immediately gave the order.
"Where is Zhongkang?"
"The end will be here!" Xu Chu also stepped into it.
Cao Cao ordered, "You and Yuan Rang go and find out. I want to know what happened to Xu Shu? Where did he come back from? Who did he meet when he returned to Xujia Village? Why did he go to Shangshu after coming out of Xujia Village?
Taiwan, then went to Situ Mansion?"
"Here!" Xu Chu agreed and prepared to check.
"Come back..." Cao Cao greeted again. "The investigation must be carried out secretly. Don't let Lu Situ know!"
"Understood." Xu Chu knew that the stakes were very important. He and Xiahou Dun looked at each other and left quickly.
Cao Cao was the only one left. At this moment, his eyes narrowed, and he became more and more confused about what happened in the meantime.
The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.
It was a slight pain at first, but the more I thought about it, the more severe the pain became.
This is a headache he has had since childhood!
And Cao Cao's method of dealing with it was extremely straightforward...
——"Cold water, get some cold water!"
…
…
Xuzhou, below Guangling City!
At first glance, Sun Ce's march north to attack Guangling City was an urgent call, but for Chen Deng, Jiangdong's army marching north to attack Guangling City was just like eating and sleeping. He was used to it.
After Sun Ce's defeat at Lujiang, Sun Ce asked his younger brother Sun Quan to go all out to attack Guangling City.
It seems that the shame of Lujiang has long been wanted to be washed away with blood from here.
For this reason, Sun Ce specially dispatched ten times as many troops as the defenders, just to escort his second brother.
At the top of Guangling City, you can always see from a distance the banners and armor of the Sun family covering the river!
The momentum is huge…
Today’s situation is even more imminent!
call…
At this moment, Chen Deng was standing on the top of Guangling City.
He knew that what he was seeing now... was just a small test of Jiangdong's army. It was Sun Quan's team, and Sun Ce's army hadn't arrived yet!
If they wait until their brothers join forces, Guangling City will not be able to withstand it no matter how strong it is.
The most frightening thing is that all the civil and military personnel under Chen Deng have become timid.
After all, Xiapi City next door has been captured by Liu Bei, and the Jiangdong soldiers here have moved north again. Guangling City has become an isolated city, and all reinforcements have been lost. How can it withstand the enemy's attack?
"Prefect Chen, why don't you... retreat to Donghai County in the north, which is close to Yanzhou and Yuzhou... Our army's reinforcements can only arrive! Otherwise, it will be too much pressure to meet the enemy by land and water!"
"No!" Chen Deng's tone was extremely resolute, and he said with great certainty: "I, Chen Deng, will never become a deserter!"
Speaking of not being a deserter…
What Chen Deng was thinking of was that in the past, he and his father surrendered the city and helped Cao Sikong earn the two cities of Xiapi and Guangling.
Of course...the Chen family and his son have done a great job!
Many people suggested that Cao Sikong give him a high official position and let him serve in the court;
However, there are also some people who think that the Chen family, father and son, are at both ends of the spectrum, serving Qin, Mu, and Chu. They are not worthy of trust and should never be given generous salaries to high-ranking officials, let alone military power.
But at this time...
It was Lu Yu, the commander of the Longxiao Battalion, who stood up and proposed that not only should the Chen family and his son be given high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but also important responsibilities should be entrusted to the Chen family and his entire Xuzhou political and military power.
It was precisely because of Lu Yu's determination that Cao Cao overcame all objections and allowed father and son Chen Si and Chen Deng to become Xuzhou Mu, Xiapi Prefect, and Guangling Prefect to control the military power of the state.
Lu Yu treated the Chen family and his son as nothing more than a recommendation and support.
To know…
The Han Dynasty had a special political ecology, which was the famous "dual monarchy!"
The so-called "dual monarchy" means that for the scholars and officials of the Han Dynasty, they generally had two loyal objects like the monarch.
One is naturally the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This requires no further explanation.
But the other one is the person who recommended him!
In the Han Dynasty, employment was based on the promotion system, so... whoever recommends you to be an official will naturally be your great benefactor.
Even the recommender is a symbol of authority similar to that of a monarch, parent, or teacher to the person being recommended!
Therefore…
Chen Deng was almost grateful to Lu Yu. He was able to become the county governor and state shepherd of his hometown, and he was able to be entrusted with important tasks in Cao Ying. It is true that it was his own efforts, but more importantly, it was Lu Yu's recommendation.
It was for this reason that he always kept in mind the words Lu Yu left to Chen Deng when he left Xuzhou in the past.
——"Guangling City is a city that must be fought for in Jiangdong. Once something happens, the situation in Xuzhou and even the Central Plains will definitely plummet. The stakes are very high! Mr. Xu, you must guard Guangling City."
At this moment…
Every word of this sentence echoed in Chen Deng's ears!
Guangling City must be in...
People are in the tower...ah no, people are in the city!
Thoughts on this!
With a "swish" sound, Chen Deng pulled out his sword. "At this time, what you should be thinking about is how to retreat from the enemy? How to defend Guangling City! Instead of being timid!"
"Today I, Chen Deng, have spoken here. There cannot be a single deserter in Guangling City. If anyone has the intention to escape, if anyone tries to escape through the door, the guard can directly kill him. I will even report it to Lu Situ, implicating the whole clan!
"
"If you all join hands with me to fight against the enemy and defend the city of Guangling, then on the day of great victory, I will report to Cao Sikong and give you officials and titles to honor your ancestors! Today, I, Chen Deng, have spoken here, saying
We’ll do it!”
Chen Deng was the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't say much. In addition, in Xuzhou, he had always had great prestige among the people and the soldiers.
Therefore, when he said this, those who had the intention to escape lowered their heads and retreated silently.
"Keep, keep, keep!"
Countless soldiers shouted in unison...
After a long time, the voice finally stopped.
"call…"
At this moment, Chen Deng finally took a long breath, but he still gritted his teeth and clenched his hands.
"Where are the generals of each battalion?"
"The end is here!"
"According to the original plan!" Chen Deng raised his voice. "Tonight, defeat the enemy! Capture the Sun family's blue eyes alive!"
"Here!"
"You tell the officers and men that this plan was not created by me, Chen Deng, but the advice Lu Situ left behind before he left in the past! If the generals act according to the plan, they will be able to ensure a great victory in this battle and capture Sun Erlang alive.
!Haha, I have already written the good news for you!"
Chen Deng’s words continue!
Inexplicably, upon hearing that it was Lu Yu's plan, all the defenders were filled with infinite hope!
Even if you face ten times as many enemies?
Even if the situation is not optimistic.
But... Yinlin...
In other words, the name of Lu Yu, the commander of Longxiao Camp, is still resounding enough.
He has left behind many tips and strategies, and it seems that there has never been any mistakes.
Even facing Sun Bofu from the Sun family in Jiangdong, a battle in Lujiang... is enough to explain the problem!
Today's Xuzhou City has long spread rumors that he is a god. His strategy has always been to attack the enemy's heart with a small and broad approach.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Countless defenders shouted again...
Seeing the morale of the defenders surge, Chen Deng's mouth slightly opened and he finally showed a smile.
Haha, he is the only one who knows what kind of clever trick Lu Yu has here?
distinct…
This is what Chen Deng came up with on his own.
But... a little packaging, using Lu Yu's name, the effect is not bad, the morale of the Guangling City defenders has increased, right?
Haha, this is just like a leek, if you don’t cut it, it will become white!
…
…
Jiangdong, Wu County, within the wine shop.
It’s still the familiar elegant room…
They were still the familiar Lu Xun and Lu Ji. The only difference was that there was a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat beside them.
And during yesterday's negotiations with Yan Baihu, Xu Gong... these remaining forces.
This middle-aged man was quarreling with the heroes, and these leaders with well-developed limbs and simple minds were stunned for a while.
Let Lu Xun and Lu Ji call...
Ginger is still spicy!
Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai are indeed well-known figures in the Central Plains. This time...my brother sent him here, and the situation suddenly opened up!
"How are you thinking? You don't have much time."
Chen Gong blurted out his words, still in a low and hoarse voice, conveying an infinite sense of mystery in his words.
And the reason why he was so confident was because he was sure that these guys were out of food!
Now they are mothers if they have breasts!
this…
The group of leaders in front of them frowned slightly, as if they were feeling even more pressure from negotiating with Chen Gong.
Looking at each other…
Finally, they spoke loudly.
--"make a deal!"
——"Sun Ce will lead his army northward by land and water to aid Sun Quan in the future. According to the usual practice, he will definitely lead a group of warriors to hunt on the outskirts of Wu County tomorrow. At that time, we will take action!"
——"I hope that after we take action, the food you promised will be delivered in time!"
"That's natural!" Chen Gong nodded slightly, but his voice was still low and hoarse. "You must remember not to expose our identity! Otherwise, there will be no food at all!"
——"This is natural!" A leader patted his chest. "I was originally a disciple of Mr. Xu Gongxu. I have long wanted to kill Sun Ce to avenge Mr. Xu. If I assassinate him tomorrow, the world will only know that it is Xu Gongsan."
No one will know that this matter has anything to do with the Lu family!"
——"We will continue to cooperate with the Lu family in the future and exchange information!"
Hear this…
Chen Gong laughed "haha": "Easy to say, easy to say!"
