On the way back to the government office, Chu Nan used some words on herself and Lu Lingqi to increase their clothing's defense tenfold. Lu Lingqi found it very interesting for Chu Nan's cautious Zuo Feng.
After all, most men regard bravery and perseverance as symbols of masculinity. After all, there are only a few like Chu Nan, but such a timid person who is afraid of death can always deal with major events calmly. That kind of sky is falling.
His calm demeanor is completely opposite to his current performance.
Having seen Chu Nan's other side, Lu Lingqi didn't feel disdain when she saw Chu Nan's cautious appearance. Instead, she found it quite interesting.
"What are your husband's plans next?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"You can spend a thousand days to be a thief, but how can you spend a thousand days to guard against a thief?" Chu Nan let out a depressed breath: "Find out this assassin, otherwise you will have trouble sleeping and eating. Did you notice anyone watching you along the way?"
Although the spirit of warriors does not have as many magical functions as those of Confucianism, it is not without effect. The spiritual sense is usually amazing, and if someone peeks, they can be keenly aware of it.
Lu Lingqi shook her head silently.
The greatest skill of powerful assassins is not their attack methods, but their ability to hide their tracks. It is almost impossible to actively detect the presence of the opponent.
The most terrifying thing is that he doesn’t know if the other party has any weird abilities. This is what Chu Nan is most worried about, if it is some kind of curse or other abilities...
"Within a quarter of an hour, I can counterattack all attacks against me!" Chu Nan suddenly said.
Lu Lingqi glanced at Chu Nan blankly.
"Be careful." Chu Nan chuckled and added another layer of freshness to Lu Lingqi before going to the government office.
"My lord, just now the state government sent someone to invite my lord to come over." As soon as he returned to the government office, he saw Wei Yan already waiting at the government office. He is now serving as a military marquis under Wei Yue, but I heard that a thief assassinated Chu Nan yesterday.
, he specially came to Chu Nan to be on duty after training.
"Got it." Chu Nan nodded and didn't go in. He turned around and went directly to the state capital. The two sides were only a few hundred steps apart. When Chu Nan arrived, he saw Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Mi Fang, Wei Xu, and Gao
Okay, Hou Cheng has arrived.
"I'm tired of you all, Lord Jiu." Chu Nan bowed quickly.
"Zi Yan, I heard that there was another assassin yesterday? How about I send some troops to protect you?" Wei Xu frowned and looked at Chu Nan.
"All the incoming assassins have been captured." Chu Nan shook his head. The guards in his house were not weak. As for the final assassin boss, Chu Nan estimated that it would be useless no matter how many people there were. Too many people would cause problems easily.
.
"My lord, I wonder why you have summoned us here today?" Not wanting to mention the matter more, Chu Nan turned the topic to business.
"There is news from Yanzhou that Cao Cao has sent troops to Runan three days ago." Chen Gong said with a smile: "It is convenient for Ziyan's domesticated flying pigeons to convey news."
Because of the existence of the pigeon demon, it was effortless to tame the flying pigeon. Chu Nan directly taught many things to the pigeon demon, allowing the pigeon demon to communicate with his younger brothers.
Naturally, other princes also had flying pigeons to pass messages, but compared with those in Chunan, it was much more difficult to domesticate them, and it was also difficult to popularize them on such a large scale.
When Chu Nan heard this, his eyes lit up: "So, are you going to take action against Guangling?"
The previously planned plan was that as soon as Cao Cao and Yuan Shu went to war, they would immediately concentrate their superior forces and go south to capture Guangling in one fell swoop.
Chen Gong nodded: "I'm calling you here today to discuss how to use the troops. There should be a map here."
While talking, a map of Xuzhou was spread out in front of everyone. Everyone was not surprised. Looking at the map of Xuzhou, Chen Gong took a pen and drew a line casually, marking the scope of Guangling.
The twelve counties of Guangling are bounded by Haixi, Lingxian, Dongyang and Pingyang near the Huai River, and have borders with Xiapi and the East China Sea.
Chu Nan stared at the map carefully, feeling that he could go anywhere. Although he had studied the art of war diligently these days, it was really difficult to see anything when combined with the map.
After thinking for a while, Chu Nan pointed at the map and said: "This map can show the landscape and terrain in three dimensions!"
What does stereoscopic mean?
Everyone was at a loss, but the next moment, the picture on the map began to change. It was still the same map. But when they looked at it again, they felt like they were watching a sand table. Xuzhou's landscape seemed to be alive on the map. Looking at the map,
You can get a general idea of the local terrain.
Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan in surprise. His disciple had found a new way to use the words.
After thinking for a while, Chen Gong pointed to the map and said: "This map is completely consistent with the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou. You can see the whole of Xuzhou's mountains and rivers clearly."
The next moment, the entire map suddenly came alive.
Lu Bu: "..."
Generals: "..."
Confucianism is so fancy, what’s the use? It’s just drawing pictures, what else can it do? It’s just a show off!
"The teacher is brilliant!"
"Zi Yan is not bad either!"
"Look at the picture!" Lu Bu really couldn't bear the two men exchanging compliments. What happened to the Confucians? Many Confucians died under his own sword.
"Zi Yan, tell me your opinion." Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and gave him this opportunity. He also wanted to see his disciple's talent in the art of war.
Although the map was very clear, Chu Nan looked at it carefully for a moment and still couldn't figure out how to advance the army.
After thinking about it, he said: "When it comes to fighting, not to mention my father-in-law, General Gao and my uncle, everyone here is far better than me. I won't do anything about it, but I have an idea."
"Tell me Ziyan." Lu Bu said with a satisfied smile, why did his son-in-law speak so well?
"As the saying goes, a ruler is long and an inch is short. In the final analysis, this battle is to give full play to our army's advantages and try not to conflict with the enemy's strengths. It does not mean that we cannot win, but it is unnecessary. With our army's strengths,
If you attack the enemy's weaknesses, the battle losses may be less than half, but if you attack its strengths, you may lose 10% or even more. Why waste troops on this when there are easier ways to fight? Our army's goals this time are more than just
It is to seize Guangling, but also to seize the benefits in the battle between Yuan and Cao. If too much energy is spent here, it may be difficult to obtain more benefits later."
Lu Bu nodded: "What Zi Yan said is true. The advantage of our army lies in the cavalry. Guangling is only 500 miles from north to south and 400 miles from east to west. Any general, if he commands the cavalry, can reach anywhere in Guangling within one day."
Department, as for the Chen family... what are the advantages of the Chen family?"
"Defend the city, fight by water!" Chu Nan thought: "According to the previously obtained intelligence analysis, Sun Ce from Jiangdong has most likely formed an alliance with the Chen family. In the land of Guangling, there is not only the Huai River, but also a large number of small rivers. Jiangdong soldiers are the best at water.
Therefore, all generals, please remember that once the enemy retreats into the water, you must not blindly pursue it to avoid falling into the enemy's treacherous plan!"
Chu Nan really doesn't know what Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are capable of. The intelligence system has just been established and there is no time to collect Jiangdong intelligence, otherwise Chu Nan will make a more targeted plan.
"As for defending the city, now all the elites of Xuzhou's elites have gathered in Guangling. They can use the Dharma Followers to greatly increase the defense of the city wall and weaken the strength of our army's siege. There are less than thirty people in our army who can use the Dharma Followers.
In a siege, the losses will be huge, so I think that during this expedition, we should fight the enemy outside the city as much as possible."
Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Nan continued: "Thirdly, in this battle, it is best to bully the few with more and use force to suppress others. Since Jiangdong is participating in the battle, as far as I know, Zhou Yu is quite handsome, so we will try our best to
The enemy's army is divided and broken, and the mobility of our cavalry is brought into full play, leading the opponent by the nose without confronting him. As long as the opponent is driven out of the city, we will cut off his food route, poison him, and attack him at night. In short, he can
Use all the means you can think of to keep them exhausted!"
After saying that, Chu Nan looked at everyone's strange looks and said with a simple smile: "I know only a little about the art of war. This is all I can think of for now. If I am wrong, don't laugh at me."
"Zi Yan's method is indeed...feasible." Hou Cheng groped his chin and said, "But has Zi Yan ever thought about it, if the Chen family can't wait after me, what should I do if I reject the city and defend it?"
"Don't worry about him, cut off his arms first. If they disperse their talents and garrison in the twelve cities of Guangling, we will defeat them one by one. Before, we were afraid that they would unite, but if they disperse and garrison in each city, we will concentrate our strength.
If the opponent concentrates on one city, we will take advantage of the situation to regain the rest of the city, destroy its popular support, and then trap them with an absolutely superior force, starve them of food and water, and force them to leave the city." Chu Nan said without thinking.
.
Everyone seems to have heard it. Anyway, they will not confront the opponent head-on. Only in the final decisive battle, they will force the opponent to come out by besieging the city. This style of play... is a bit...
Lu Bu and other generals listened to Chu Nan's methods. If they were Chen Deng, they would collapse in the face of Chu Nan's style of play.
"Our cavalry now totals only eight thousand." Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan and said calmly.
Although they are good at cavalry, war horses are a rare commodity, especially in Xuzhou. They can only buy war horses through horse dealers. Chu Nan's style of play can only be used when all of them are cavalry.
"And has Zi Yan ever thought about our army's supplies?" Chen Gong also added.
Chu Nan has done logistical supplies, so he naturally knows how troublesome this matter is. He recruits civilians and plans supply routes to guard against enemy raids. Although Guangling's territory is limited, even generals like Hou Cheng can do it if they use Fengzimi.
You can walk back and forth in one or two days, but that is when no one interferes. In that way, you can carry only three days of rations and travel lightly, but if you are blocked, you will have to wait for death!
"It's my disciple's lack of consideration that makes you laugh." Chu Nan said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, this strategy can still be used, but it needs to be modified. You can first target Sheyang, Haixi, and Ling County, and then use this method to push them back until there is no way to retreat.
You can retreat." Chen Gong is quite satisfied with Chu Nan's performance. Although there are loopholes, this idea is indeed good, at least it is better than a hard fight.
Everyone discussed for a long time and after analyzing the specific plan, Lu Bu immediately made a decision and prepared to act according to the plan!
