"Zi Yan, what do you want from me?" Under the night, Lu Bu was checking the accounts in the camp. He robbed a lot during this period, but most of them were lost. The plunder was just to maintain supplies, and the excess would only become a burden that slowed down the marching speed.
But now that we have stopped, it is time to consider the issue of food, grass and baggage. After all, his cavalry is alone. Looking at his son-in-law who came in, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief. The person to solve the problem has arrived.
"I was discussing with my father-in-law about the Black Lujian." Chu Nan sat opposite Lu Bu and smiled after seeing Lu Bu's thoughts.
Lu Bu's worries are not a problem at all for Chu Nan. Although the new crops have not been cultivated here in Runan, but when it comes to food, grass and baggage... Just look at the heads rolling in more than ten counties in Runan.
This kind of problem?
What is food shortage? Why is there food shortage? Is this an issue that needs to be considered?
"Black Lujian?" Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan with some embarrassment and asked, "If Gongtai is not here, you and I can't break the formation of the strange gates."
The last time we encountered the Eight Gate City, we didn't defeat it head-on. After that, Chen Gong studied the Eight Gate City for a long time, and he didn't know if he had discovered any methods. Anyway, the magic of the Qimen was very useful to the current Lu Bu Group.
It is said that it is a blind area of knowledge, and even the most knowledgeable scholar Chen Gong has absolutely limited role in this regard.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu simply despised Chen Gong. They were all counselors, but look at him, he was still a great Confucian! Bah!
"Father-in-law, we can't get in, but we don't need to go in to break the formation. We just need to prevent them from getting out." Chu Nan said with a smile.
I can't break your formation, but the people setting up the formation need to eat, drink, poop and sleep, right?
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Chu Nan and said hesitantly: "Zi Yan said..."
After staying with these people for a long time, Lu Bu would sometimes doubt whether his judgment was correct. Just like at this moment, he was not sure whether what he thought and what Chu Nan thought meant the same.
"Nan means to encircle the Heilv Stream with the method of siege." Chu Nan smiled and said: "This Heilv Stream area is not big, and we don't need to divide our troops. We only need to occupy the key areas and use flying pigeons.
, the beacon fires communicated to each other, and the Nanhui imperial guards used monsters to explore each other's borders and ordered people to mark them. As long as the enemy does not cross the border, no matter how they lure them, we will not take action. If they cross the border, we will kill them with thunder.
Of."
Lu Bu stroked his chin and nodded: "Heilvjian doesn't have much food, grass and baggage. It's really not difficult for us to trap them and kill them."
Although there are not many troops and horses, the 5,000 people brought by Chu Nan plus Lu Bu's 3,000 cavalry add up to only 8,000. In terms of number, they are not as large as Zhong Yao's people, but Huang Zhong's arrow formation cooperates with Lu Bu's cavalry
, one of the two sides defends one side. If the other side attacks Lu Bu, Huang Zhong can directly support him with an arrow formation. If the other side attacks Huang Zhong, Lu Bu can guerrilla behind the enemy lines.
As long as they don't step into the Black Lujian range, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong can trap Heilvjian to death, not to mention Wei Yan and others who can come to support at any time.
"No." Chu Nan summoned a map, drew a circle on the map and said, "Father-in-law, it's not important to trap and kill them. What's more important is to see if Zhong Yao and Guan Yu are important enough to lure Cao Cao here."
, if we can attract it..."
Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu, made a killing gesture and said, "Then Xuchang can be captured, and the Central Plains can be conquered!"
In this battle, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to make progress for a while, but Runan had already won half of it, and the remaining half was also a matter of time.
The two troops sent by Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun was defeated by Chu Nan, and Liu Bei was defeated by Chu Nan and Lu Bu. Now if Cao Cao goes out to fight in the city, estimate the combat strength of both sides. Their side has the advantage in generals.
It is unrealistic to attack Xuchangcheng now and cannot be defeated, but I don’t know if I can touch Boss Cao?
The straight-line distance from Xuchang to Heilunjian is about 130 miles. The detour may be longer, but it will not exceed 200 miles. After all, this is a plain.
Even if Boss Cao doesn't save Zhong Yao, he can't just sit back and watch Runan being gradually cannibalized by Chu Nan. After all, once Runan is completely captured, it will mean that even if the two sides finally reconcile in this battle, Xuchang will be completely exposed to Lu Bu's troops.
Now, as long as Lu Bu wants to, he can go to Xuchang and try his luck at any time.
It's like putting a sword on Boss Cao's throat, which can be stabbed at any time. No matter what Boss Cao wants to do from now on, he won't be able to do it.
Chu Nan suddenly felt that he was no longer as pure as before. He always came up with such sinister ideas and was no longer the righteous partner he used to be.
After hearing this, Lu Bu looked at the map carefully, then looked at Chu Nan. After thinking for a long time, he nodded silently: "I will act according to Zi Yan's plan!"
Now that the battle has been fought, Lu Bu's control of the overall situation is far inferior to that of Chu Nan and Chen Gongqiang, who is responsible for allocating supplies at the rear. However, Lu Bu feels that this strategy of surrounding Zhong Yao and defeating Cao Cao is good, and he can't think of any problems.
, just do it, my son-in-law has a saying that is right, no one is perfect in this world, just do what you are best at, and leave the rest to your teammates!
Although he didn't quite know what this teammate was, what his son-in-law said was correct.
That night, Lu Bu summoned all the generals to discuss the matter of surrounding Heilvjian with troops. Naturally, everyone had no objections. Huang Zhong and others went to prepare for the dispatch of troops. Chu Nan once again strengthened a group of small demon ants. This time, they did not use the method of falling from the sky.
Instead, they moved closer to the Black Lu Stream from all directions, and sent a group over to the place where the little demon ants died, and used the corpses to draw a line, and the army would deploy defenses based on these lines.
"Your Majesty." When it was almost early in the morning, Huang Zhong came back and found Chu Nan, who was about to fall asleep. He bowed to Chu Nan and said, "I have a small matter. After thinking about it, I decided to inform my lord."
"Oh?" Chu Nan looked at Huang Zhong in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The grave that the general made for Zhang Fei was dug up yesterday." Huang Zhong sighed.
"In other words, after Guan Yu sent Liu Bei back yesterday, he left again?" Chu Nan felt that he had missed an opportunity to destroy the Taoyuan group, and a small regret arose in his heart at this moment.
As for self-blame, of course there is no such thing. After all, a normal person would not leave and come back. Considering the situation Zhang Fei faced at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a certain death situation. According to common sense, as long as the brain is fully developed,
I won't come back to die.
He is not a God. He can have a God's perspective. He is paying attention to every move of the enemy. It is impossible for several scouts to come out at night to report. If a hunter passes by, come and report. If a farmer passes by driving cattle, come here.
Report, the enemy's scouts marched in groups to report, this kind of thing is handled every day, and there is no need to bring soldiers.
But now that I think about it, with Mr. Guan's righteous and righteous temperament, it's not impossible for Bo Yuntian to do such a seemingly idiotic thing. He probably had a death wish.
Chu Nan sighed, and the trace of regret in his heart quickly dissipated. People who often regret the past things usually cannot achieve great things. Besides, he was not wrong about this matter, so why regret it? It was quickly forgotten.
"The siege of Heilvjian has been handed over to the general and my father-in-law. We don't have many soldiers, so we can just hold on to the important place." Chu Nan put the matter behind and told Huang Zhongdao.
When it comes to the siege of Heilunjian, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong can just defend each other and help each other. Chu Nan should take advantage of Cao Cao's reaction to intensify the purge of Runan, trying to purge Runan before the decisive battle between the two sides.
Finish.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will understand." Huang Zhong nodded.
"In addition, the pigeon demon will stay, and it will deliver messages from time to time. Every once in a while, let it fly to Xuchang to see if there is any problem. This pigeon demon usually follows Wei Yue to study and read, and at critical moments, it can
Writing and communicating is just a bit slow." Chu Nan said with a smile.
What I am most proud of about these monster beasts under my command is not how strong they are, but that the illiteracy rate of these monster beasts is constantly decreasing. This is due to the fact that they have good teachers. I always feel that Wei Yue has more of a literati vibe now.
Some even feel like awe-inspiring spirits are brewing.
Huang Zhong nodded with a strange look on his face, and the picture of the pigeon demon writing began to appear in his mind, which seemed weird no matter how he looked at it.
"Father-in-law, sometimes he doesn't think comprehensively enough. When the general finds out, it's okay to correct the problem, but you have to be tactful and pay attention to the method." Chu Nan thought for a while, worried that Huang Zhong would have a conflict with his father-in-law, and he needed to be punished.
Got a vaccination.
"Uh... Lord, how can I be tactful about this?" Huang Zhong was speechless. He had never learned how to write the word tactful after fighting for a lifetime.
"For example, the general discovered Cao's army's intentions, but the enemy army was strong. He wanted to avoid the enemy's attack, but his father-in-law wanted to attack directly. How should he persuade his father-in-law?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said: "General, the bandit army is strong, why not stay away from the enemy for a while?"
He felt that this was already very euphemistic.
Chu Nan shook his head: "Marquis Wen, the bandits are here. I regard them as chickens and dogs. It would be boring to kill them like this. Why don't we wait and watch how they struggle to the death?"
Lu Bu is not afraid of you speaking directly, but he is disgusted with saying that he is not good enough and avoids the sharpness. It is not unacceptable, but the acceptance rate is not high. Out of ten times, he will accept it maybe one or two times, so Chu Nan usually chooses to change it.
statement.
Huang Zhong looked at Chu Nan with a confused look on his face. Are we expressing the same thing?
"In short, if the enemy is strong, avoid his sharp edge. You can replace it with saying that the enemy is just a chicken and a dog. It's better to wait and see if he jumps." Chu Nan explained with a smile. Anyway, you have to follow Lu Bu's temperament.
Make him feel comfortable, and then push past the bottom line of his acceptance. Basically, even if he feels a little uncomfortable, I won't blame you. Getting along with this kind of person is actually the easiest after you understand the other person's temperament.
Huang Zhongjue felt something was wrong. The way his lord and his father-in-law got along was... indescribably weird. You said Chu Nan was flattering, right? He was always able to get things done, and he never did anything flattering.
It can also lead Lu Bu to the right path, but if you talk about integrity, this way of speaking is definitely not what an upright person should have.
