Chen Deng saw Liu Bei's excitement and instantly understood Liu Bei's intention and asked: "My lord, is your plan to take advantage of Lu Xuan's division of troops to raid Lu Xuan's camp?"
"Yes, raid Lu Xuan's camp."
Liu Bei answered firmly.
He has always acted steadily, but this time, after learning that Lu Xuan had divided his forces, Liu Bei couldn't help but attack.
Liu Bei's eyes were sharp and he said: "For us, Lu Xuan divided his troops to rescue Wu County and Danyang County, and his strength was weakened. This is the only chance to save ourselves. If we don't send troops now, we will deal with Lu Xuan's troops left in Xuyi County. Wait for Lu Xuan's attack
We have killed Wang Lang and wiped out Zu Lang, and they are coming to Xuyi County again. We will be defeated sooner or later, so we must send troops."
Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "I am a little worried because I am afraid that Lu Xuan will be prepared. Or what if Lu Xuan is pretending to divide his troops, but actually lures us to attack and deliberately ambush us?"
Now Chen Deng is even more cautious.
Think more.
In the previous battle with Lu Xuan, he was like a gambler, letting Liu Bei invest too many troops, and was eventually defeated by Lu Xuan. Chen Deng learned his lesson, so he became more stable.
Liu Bei shook his head and analyzed: "I have also considered the concerns of the military advisor. I will not immediately raid Lu Xuan's camp, wait until around midnight after dark, and then lead the troops to attack. During this period, the sentinels have been watching to leave.
Lu Xuan's troops will ensure that the other side will not withdraw."
"Besides, I still have a point of view. Lu Xuan must attack even if he is on guard."
"Taking advantage of the turmoil in Wujun and Danyang, the hearts of Lu Xuan's army camp are floating, and we have a chance to win. If we miss this opportunity, we will not have any chance in the future if Lu Xuan solves the trouble."
"Simply confronting Lu Xuan cannot solve Lu Xuan's threat. Therefore, knowing that there is danger and knowing that Lu Xuan is prepared, we can only fight with Lu Xuan. Otherwise, there is no point in staying in Xuyi County. It is better to withdraw to Xiapi
.”
Liu Bei's eyes were deep and he said, "Does the military advisor understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Chen Deng nodded solemnly.
He looked in the direction of Lu Xuan's camp and said: "It seems that Lu Xuan's splitting up his troops and leaving was actually a conspiracy. He forced us to attack because we had no other choice."
Liu Bei said: "You can say that."
Chen Deng's eyes were deep and he said: "Lu Xuan is really insidious."
Liu Bei sighed: "If Lu Xuan was not insidious, it would be impossible to destroy Yuan Shu and overthrow Lu Bu. Although this man is young, he has real abilities."
Chen Deng clenched his fist, beat it hard on the city wall, and said: "My lord, I agree with the arrangement of sending troops. However, we will discuss the plan of sending troops again."
Liu Bei asked: "How to add up?"
He blinked.
There was a strange feeling in my heart.
Lu Xuan and his people arrived at Xuyi County. He and Chen Deng made a plan and decided on various strategies. Unfortunately, Lu Xuan overturned them all and all the strategies were useless.
Even Liu Bei was forced into a dilemma by Lu Xuan, and Chen Deng was also threatened by Lu Xuan.
Chen Deng smiled slightly, with a bewildered confidence on his face, and explained: "After careful consideration, I believe that although Lu Xuan has divided his troops, there must be defenses in the camp, and he must have calculated that we will attack."
"So, if Lu Xuanming knows that we will steal the camp, what arrangements will he make?"
"After much thought, I thought that Lu Xuan might have laid an ambush in the camp. When we attacked, the army surrounded us and defeated our army. When we retreated, Lu Xuan sent people to pursue us."
"At this time, we mobilized a group of soldiers to ambush Lu Xuan's people. Furthermore, Lu Xuan also arranged an ambush. This is Lu Xuan's last force. After all, he only has so many people."
"Finally, we will send another ambush force to crush all Lu Xuan's troops."
Chen Deng's eyes flashed with wisdom and said: "Lu Xuan is cunning, we must make a prediction, and it is absolutely right to think more about it. I believe that according to this prediction, we have predicted Lu Xuan's prediction,
If Lu Xuan's ambush is ambushed, this battle will be won."
Liu Bei smiled, feeling a little headache.
Is prediction useful?
Lu Xuan always acted against common sense.
What's more, on the battlefield, soldiers are unpredictable and water is unpredictable. Another situation may occur at any time.
Liu Bei thought about it carefully and said: "Military advisor, we have so many troops, why don't we just defeat Lu Xuan's camp? If we join forces together and attack with all our strength, we will have a chance to defeat his camp, so why bother to do this again?"
Where are the means?"
He seemed to be worried about Chen Deng's thoughts, so he quickly added: "Strategic Advisor, it's not that I don't believe you. It's because after the troops are divided, it is easy to fall into Lu Xuan's rhythm and be led by the nose."
"If we attack Lu Xuan's camp with all our strength, we can defeat the Ten Clubs with one force and destroy all Lu Xuan's plots. In addition, according to the arrangement of the military advisor, ambushes need to be arranged everywhere. Do we have so many troops?"
Chen Deng's expression remained unchanged and he was still confident.
He said without hesitation: "My lord's considerations are reasonable. However, there is a problem with the humble position. Lord, do you think that the more than 10,000 people we have reorganized can destroy Lu Xuan's camp in one go?"
Liu Bei said: "It's a little difficult."
Chen Deng nodded and continued: "If the lord leads an army to attack and can defeat Lu Xuan's camp in one battle, it would naturally be the best. However, we have to consider the worst case scenario. Under the premise that it cannot be broken, we need to
A humble plan."
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.
This is also true.
What he considered was to destroy Lu Xuan's camp in one go.
However, it may not be broken.
Chen Deng continued: "My lord, once you are unable to break through and win with your troops, I predict that Lu Xuan will definitely ambush you on the way to withdraw. If you don't make plans, predictions, and arrangements in advance, you will definitely be defeated.
.”
"As for our lack of troops, this is something I have also taken into consideration."
"Let General Guan be responsible for the first wave of people who ambushed Lu Xuan. It will be enough for him to bring two to three thousand troops."
"The troops for the last ambush don't need to be too elite, they just need to be powerful. I'll lobby the big families in Xuyi County and ask them to send private soldiers to help, and try to gather about 3,000 people."
Chen Deng's eyes were bright and he said firmly: "In this way, our number of troops will definitely be sufficient."
"Brother, I agree with the military advisor's analysis."
Guan Yu came over.
He stroked his long beard under his chin and said: "I very much agree with the military advisor's consideration. According to the art of war, when fighting a war, it is a strategy and a plan. If the plan is not in place, it will be a disaster.
Danger."
Liu Bei thought for a while and agreed: "Since the military advisor is confident and the second brother also agrees, let's follow this plan. We will predict Lu Xuan's prediction and ambush Lu Xuan's ambush. The military advisor will lobby the big family for help, and what will happen to us?
It is said that it is even more powerful than a tiger."
"My lord is wise."
Chen Deng raised his hands and spoke.
There was also a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
This time, Lu Xuan thought that he was prepared in the camp and might even be able to kill him, but it was still unclear who was ambushing whom.
Chen Deng's eyes also became confident.
Lu Xuan was defeated in this battle, Xuzhou was stable, and Liu Bei had time to take back the various places in Xuzhou, regain control of Xuzhou, and compete for world supremacy in the future.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Chen Deng carefully discussed the details of the night's operation, and then went to make arrangements separately.
Time passes, it's evening.
Liu Bei asked people to feed the soldiers with meat and let them eat until they were full. After a hearty meal, the soldiers rested in the camp and waited for the early morning. In the early morning, the moon was at the top of the sky, and the full moon hung horizontally, exuding the delicate moonlight.
Liu Bei came to the front of the military formation and looked at the 14,000 men in formation.
This is the main force attacking Lu Xuan.
Many of these soldiers had returned to the city one after another after being defeated by Lu Xuan and fled, and a considerable number of them were newly recruited soldiers.
Liu Bei treated his soldiers very well. So these soldiers obeyed Liu Bei's arrangements.
Liu Bei stood in front of the military formation and said loudly: "Soldiers, we fought Lu Xuan once and were defeated. However, Lu Xuan is not invincible. I have joined forces with Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, and Zu Lang, the greater commander of Danyang County, to jointly attack Yangzhou."
"Lu Xuan's rear has been attacked."
"Lu Xuan has dispatched most of his soldiers to go back for reinforcements. Now there are not many troops left in Xuyi County."
"This is our chance."
Liu Bei's voice gradually became more and more passionate, and he said loudly: "In this battle with Lu Xuan, I have set up rewards and punishments. Anyone who retreats without my order will be killed without mercy. However, as long as he fights desperately and kills the enemy, he will be rewarded."
"
"If you kill an enemy, you will be rewarded fifty thousand coins."
"One head is worth 50,000 yuan, ten heads is worth 500,000 yuan, and so on. As long as you can kill the enemy, I will not hesitate to reward you."
"In addition, if you kill five enemies, in addition to the money reward, your officer will be promoted to one level. If you kill ten enemies, your officer will be promoted to three levels. If you can kill more people, I will directly promote you to a lieutenant general and lead the army for me."
Liu Bei said: "I will reserve the money for you. I will reserve the official position for you. As long as you defeat Lu Xuan in this battle, you will all receive countless rewards and deserve the commendations you deserve."
One by one, the soldiers became excited.
Everyone was extremely excited.
For ordinary soldiers, killing the enemy and performing meritorious service and receiving rewards is the best.
Seeing that his morale had improved, Liu Bei stopped delaying and decisively ordered: "Go to battle."
The army moved in large numbers and left the city in the dark.
Although the soldiers led by Liu Bei were traveling by moonlight without using torches, Lu Xuan's sentry was already watching on the way to Lu Xuan's camp. The news that Liu Bei's army was dispatched was quickly reported by Lu Xuan's sentinel.
Discover.
The sentry quickly sent back the news.
When Lu Xuan learned that Liu Bei had brought people to attack overnight, he immediately became energetic. He predicted that Liu Bei might come to attack, but he didn't expect that Liu Bei would actually come.
A smile appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes. Liu Bei must have a plan for his night attack.
However, he also made a calculation.
This time, Liu Bei was beaten painfully.
Lu Xuan quickly made arrangements, arranged everything properly, and came to the gate of the camp in person, waiting quietly.
