After shaking his head and putting the matter behind him for the time being, Lin Zhe ordered someone to call Jian Yong to the study for discussion.
Xiaopei has been captured, and it is time to study how to encircle Lu Bu.
While waiting, Lin Zhe stared closely at the map on the desk, his fingers lightly crossing Xiaopei and Xiapi, and his eyebrows could not help but tighten.
Compared with later generations, the maps of this era are much worse in terms of accuracy and accuracy.
This is very troublesome. Where should I stop Lu Bu?!
Ta da da...
There was a sound of footsteps, and Lin Zhe couldn't help but raise his head and look outside the door.
The traces of last night's battle are still there, Jian Yong's face is black and white, and his forehead is covered with dense beads of sweat.
Lin Zhe called in a hurry. He barely rested. He just hurriedly took care of everything in the city and ran over directly.
"Xian...Xianyun called me here, but I don't know why?"
Seeing that Jian Yong was out of breath and out of breath while talking, Lin Zhe poured a glass of water, then pushed it to the opposite side of the table and said, "Xianhe, don't panic, just look here..."
Jian Yong drank the water in the cup in one gulp, with a hearty expression on his face. Then he looked along the place where Lin Zhe's finger traced, and found that he had stopped in the direction of Surabaya on the map.
"According to Zhe's guess, Lu Bu must go through Surabaya on this trip, pass through Liu County, Pengcheng, and go straight to Xiapi. This is the fastest way and the most likely way for him to take it!"
"My lord is currently setting up defenses in Xuyi and Huaiyin, southeast of Xiapi. If you want to intercept Lu Bu, you must lead an army to detour to Suining and reach Wuxian."
"At that time, I will be waiting at Xiaopei in the northwest, General Zhang will be in Xiapi in the northeast, and my lord will be in Wuxian in the southwest. The three armies will form a triangle, enough to surround Lu Bu tightly in the middle and prevent him from moving!"
"Uh..." Jian Yong smiled awkwardly.
"It's a good idea to accept this plan. Just let it go and do it. Is there any problem with this...?"
Military strategy was not what Jian Yong was good at. He could only understand what Lin Zhe told him, but it was really difficult for him to put forward any constructive suggestions.
"well..."
Lin Zhe sighed and patiently explained: "There is nothing wrong with the strategy, the biggest problem is...time!"
"When...time??"
"Yes!" Lin Zhe nodded, pointed to Xiapi and said, "Xiaopei is only a hundred miles away from Xiapi. With Lu Bu's journey, it can probably be reached in one day, but my lord, how long will it take to take a detour to Wu County? How much time will it take?
"
"This does not include the time we sent scouts to inform the lord, nor does it include the fall of Xiapi City during this period..."
"How could it be in time?!"
"This..." Jian Yong was a little dumbfounded. Looking at Lin Zhe who was frowning, he couldn't help but ask: "Then...then...what can we do about it?!"
"Since Xian Yun has thought of this problem, he must have already figured out a way to deal with it!"
Jian Yong was already quite convinced of the teenage boy in front of him. He believed that since Lin Zhe could raise this issue, he must have a way to solve the current dilemma.
Lin Zhe knelt down in front of the desk, his eyes a little wandering, his left index finger tapped rhythmically on the desk, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he murmured in a low voice: "There is a way, but it's a bit risky...
"
Hearing Lin Zhe say there was a way, Jian Yong couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Xianyun needs my help?"
Jian Yong is not stupid. If Lin Zhe didn't need him, he wouldn't be so anxious to call him over and explain so much to him.
"That's right!" Lin Zhe nodded.
"Zhe's plan before was to wait for help in Xiaopei and Xiapi, but now that Lu Bu's family has been captured, the initiative is in our hands, and the room for maneuver is much larger!"
"We can release this news to Lu Bu before he captures Xiapi!"
"Although Lu Bu has changed his master three times and backstabbing is a common occurrence, heroes have trouble with beauties, but he is passionately devoted to his wife. Plus with his daughter in hand, he cannot ignore the life and death of these people!
"
Jian Yong seemed to understand Lin Zhe's plan, and he asked: "Uh... Could it be that Xian Yun wants to attract all Lu Bu's attention to Xiaopei, and wants to buy time for the lord?!"
"Not entirely!" Lin Zhe shook his head and explained: "How can Xiaopei and Xiapi City be compared? If this is the case, how can we defend these three thousand soldiers and horses?!"
"Then Xianyun, this is..."
Lin Zhe waved his hand, signaling Jian Yong to be calm.
"What Lu Bu cares about is nothing more than the safety of his family, so we can detach an army and pretend to be traveling around with his family in order to contain the direction of Lu Bu's army..."
"And the other army can be stationed in Xiaopei to guard against Lu Bu's attack on the city..."
"When Lu Bu returns for reinforcements, General Zhang will send troops to harass us from the rear. If we repeat this cycle, we will definitely be able to hold on until the lord's army arrives for reinforcements!"
Lin Zhe's strategy is actually quite simple to explain.
He has something that Lu Bu cares about, and when Pi is about to lose his strength, if he shows this chip, then Lu Bu will definitely come back to help;
As long as he returns reinforcements, he can then contain his large army with a small number of soldiers and horses;
Once this side cannot hold on, Zhang Fei can ease his side's decline by simply sending troops from Xiapi to harass;
When the lord comes with his army, Lu Bu will be a god descending to earth, and he will probably have to be captured without a fight!
This strategy can be summed up in two words - pull!
Trade space for time!
"Yong understands!" Jian Yong nodded and said, "Xian Yun plans to let Yong lead an army to attract Lu Bu's attention in order to buy time..."
"But so?"
Lin Zhe nodded, with a troubled expression on his face. He had indeed planned to do so. Because of this, he was reluctant to speak.
Anyone can say that Lu Bu is shameless, but who dares to say that Lu Bu is courageous?
Let Jian Yong lead the troops to contain Lu Bu. If he is not careful, he will die without a burial place!
"Huh..." Jian Yong took a breath of air, and he instantly figured out the danger here.
"Yong... will live up to his mission!"
Jian Yong hugged Lin Zhe and felt a surge of pride in his heart. He was just trying to contain Lu Bu, so what's there to be afraid of?!
...
...
But it’s Lu Bu’s side.
The group of them ran for nearly half a day and came to a small forest five miles away from Xiapi to rest for a while.
Standing at a high place from this place, you can already vaguely see the outline of the city not far away.
Out of caution, Lu Bu ordered his troops to repair here first.
Looking at Xiapi City, a look of confusion appeared on Lu Bu's face, and then he stuck the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand on the ground and came to Chen Gong's side.
"Sir, Liu Xuande kindly took us in and stationed us in Xiaopei, but we took the opportunity to rob Xuzhou City. Isn't this ungrateful?!"
In fact, from the moment Lu Bu left Xiaopei, he had been struggling with whether what he did was right or wrong?
Chen Gong was a scribe in his thirties, and his body was not as strong as that of warriors like Lu Bu. At this time, he was marching at a fast pace, and his face began to turn red.
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Chen Gong recalled his situation again, and then he clenched his fists, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"The palace has something to say, and I hope my lord will tell you the truth!"
"Does the lord want to occupy a corner and live quietly, or does he plan to..."
"Strive for world supremacy?!" This chapter has been completed!
