Lu Xuan waited. After a while, Xu Shao's personal entourage arrived. After seeing Lu Xuan, he took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Prefect Lu, this is a letter from the head of the family. Please read it."
Lu Xuan took it and browsed it quickly.
When Lu Xuan read everything, a look of joy appeared on his face. Xu Shao sent him the location of the granary, which was good news. Knowing the granary meant that Lu Xuan could raid Yuan Shu's granary and completely break the situation.
Lu Xuan also remembered the battles between Yuan Shu's men. These detailed information were of little use for the time being, but they would be useful at a critical moment.
Lu Xuan ordered: "You go down first, I will discuss the strategy and then reply to Mr. Xu."
"As you command!"
I personally bowed down and responded.
Lu Xuan ordered his entourage to be taken down, handed the letter to Zhou Yu, and said: "Xu Shao said that Yuan Shu's granary contained a hundred thousand shi of grain, all of which was stored in Changshan. Because of the fight between Yang Hong and Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu had no food for the time being.
Take action, I think this is our perfect opportunity, I plan to raid the granary at night, what do you think?"
Zhou Yu looked at it carefully again.
After reading it, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
After a long while, Zhou Yu said: "My lord has decided on the general policy of night attack, and I agree with it. However, I think that for a more detailed plan, Xu Shao can be used to complete the plan, gradually weakening Yuan Shu, and finally defeat Yuan Shu in one go."
Lu Xuan asked: "How to arrange it?"
A flash of light flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The first battlefield is Yuan Shu's Changshan Granary. We must win here first, so that we can leverage the situation and further break the situation."
"The second battlefield prompted Yuan Shu to send troops to rescue the granary. After our people captured the granary, they immediately defeated the group of Yuan Shu's troops who came to rescue, achieving the purpose of further weakening Yuan Shu."
"The third battlefield is here in Huo County, which prompted Yuan Shu to make a desperate attack on Huo County, consume Yuan Shu's troops, and hold Yuan Shu back."
"In the end, our army was defeated one by one, went straight to Yuan Shu's camp, and defeated Yuan Shu in one go."
Zhou Yu said: "Here, Xu Shao must exert all his strength and quietly complete the plan. If the plan changes, it doesn't matter. Temporary changes are just temporary changes. After all, with the fighting on the battlefield, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the situation is changing at any time."
Lu Xuan thought about it for a while, his eyes showed joy, and said: "Gong Jin's plan is excellent, so it is arranged like this. You are the best choice to guard Huo County, and you will be the guard. I will take Tai Shi Ci and Zhou
Tai, led the black-armored soldiers to raid the granary, and then further defeated Yuan Shu's army."
"Can!"
Zhou Yu nodded and answered.
His eyes were bright, he acted more and more freely, and said confidently: "The lord will take away the newly integrated black armored soldiers. In addition, I will hand over 3,000 new soldiers to the lord to ambush the reinforcements of Yuan Shu's army. This
This means that my lord has 6,000 black-armored soldiers and 3,000 new soldiers, a total of 9,000 people, who can definitely break the granary. I still have about 4,000 people in hand, enough to defend the city."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "With four thousand people defending the city, it's not a big problem. But if you want to fight back, will the number of troops be too few?"
"Won't!"
Zhou Yu shook his head and answered.
He looked determined and said: "The key to this battle is for the lord to break through the granary. If the lord cannot break through the granary, it will be meaningless to leave more people to defend the city. Only by breaking the granary can we have a chance. And Yuan Shu was defeated.
After another defeat, military morale will be damaged and combat effectiveness will be weakened. When the time comes, it will be easier for us to win."
After Lu Xuan thought about it, he nodded and said, "That's it. I'll take action immediately tonight."
Zhou Yu said: "Lord, be careful."
Lu Xuan nodded, wrote down the specific arrangements, called Xu Shao's personal entourage, handed over the letter, and ordered: "Go back and tell Mr. Xu that I will raid the granary tonight and ask him to protect himself.
Act accordingly. Make a specific plan and let him do his best according to the arrangements in the letter."
"Here!"
After personally agreeing, he left in a hurry.
Lu Xuan and Zhou Yu discussed the specific details and then mobilized their troops.
The main troops under Lu Xuan's command, especially those exposed to the outside world, all wear the clothes of Yuan Shu's soldiers. In this way, they can adapt to changes even if they are exposed.
This time, Lu Xuan's night attack was carried out by people with their horses in their hooves, and they quietly took a detour to the Changshan Granary.
When Lu Xuan was on his way, the prisoners of Yuan Army who had been released when Lu Xuan reorganized Yuan Army had returned outside Yuan Shu's camp. These people were clamoring to return to the camp, but were blocked by the soldiers at the door. The news followed
It was passed into the camp.
Yuan Shu was hungry and depressed during the day. At night he drank wine and watched Feng Fangnu dancing.
It has to be said that Feng Fangnu's figure is enchanting, her graceful waist dances, highlighting her figure, which is extremely attractive and pleasing to the eye. Yuan Shu drank wine, was anesthetized by alcohol, seduced by women, and his irritable mood gradually gained
To soothe.
When Yuan Shu was immersed in joy, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and Yan Xiang's voice sounded outside the camp, "Get out of the way, I want to see my lord, why are you stopping me?"
Yuan Shu frowned. He specifically ordered the soldiers not to allow anyone to enter.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiang came.
Yuan Shu was in a irritable mood, thinking that Yan Xiang must have come to attack Lu Xuan's plan and strategy, so he simply pretended not to hear and ignored Yan Xiang.
"My lord, many Zhang Xun's soldiers have returned outside. How can my lord hide in the camp without seeing anyone? At this time, my lord must come forward in person."
After Yuan Shu heard this, he sighed, waved his hands and said, "Beauty, please step aside for now."
After Feng Fangnu retreated, Yuan Shucai asked someone to bring Yan Xiang in and asked, "Yan Xiang, don't you deal with the escaped prisoners yourself?"
Yan Xiang was stunned for a moment.
Soon, he recovered.
Yan Xiang said: "My lord, there are more than two thousand prisoners who escaped this time. There are so many people that I dare not handle it without authorization."
Yuan Shu was also stunned for a moment, a little confused, and said: "The purpose of reorganizing these prisoners is, why do you make it so complicated? Yan Xiang, don't beat around the bush, just say what you have to say directly."
Yan Xiang replied: "Reporting to my lord, I believe that among the more than two thousand people, some of them may have been persuaded by Lu Xuan to surrender. Therefore, there is a problem with these prisoners. I don't know how to deal with them. Please tell me, my lord."
Yuan Shu understood.
He frowned. Once Lu Xuan's people were mixed among the prisoners, the existence of these people would easily cause civil strife.
Once the two armies fight, it will be even more dangerous.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu had murderous intent in his eyes, his expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. You go and make arrangements, put everyone in separate custody, and then execute them all."
"ah!"
Yan Xiang was shocked.
He did not expect that Yuan Shu's treatment would be so brutal, direct and completely unreasonable.
Yan Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "My lord, this is inappropriate, completely inappropriate. Such a rough treatment will have a great impact, and will make the soldiers fearful and upset."
Yuan Shu was in a bad mood and stood up abruptly. His eyes were sharper than ever before and he said hysterically: "What's the point? In troubled times, human life is not as good as that of a dog. I gave them a bite of food to make them full. What else do they want?"
Isn't it easy to find people with two legs these days? Kill, kill all these people who betray me."
A fierce aura erupted from Yuan Shu's body.
He is like a madman.
The humiliation suffered by Lu Xuan and the anger accumulated because of Lu Xuan had a way to vent.
Yan Xiang advised again: "Lord, this is inappropriate. Killing people will affect the morale of the army. Now we should win over these people and try our best to eliminate the influence. Only in this way can we have a chance to counterattack."
Yuan Shu flicked his sleeves, paced back and forth in the tent, and said again: "Yan Xiang, are you going to disobey the order?"
Surging murderous intent spurted out.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Yuan Shu felt completely crazy.
Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Shu's appearance, sighed in his heart, and said: "I humble my duty and obey my orders."
He turned around to make arrangements.
In a short period of time, the escaped prisoners were controlled, and then the army was dispatched to kill all the returning prisoners. When the news came out, the army was in an uproar, and countless soldiers were talking and even more terrified.
When Xu Shao heard the news, he was also shocked by Yuan Shu's madness and loss of control.
Killing is to affect the morale of the military.
Especially killing one's own people.
Yuan Shu's military morale was originally unstable, but after this operation, it will become even more unstable.
While Xu Shao despised Yuan Shu, he immediately received a letter from Lu Xuan. When he learned that Lu Xuan was going to attack the granary at night and start a counterattack, Xu Shao even laughed. This was a God-given opportunity.
Now, it's time to further confuse and leverage more people who don't agree with Yuan Shu in order to build momentum for Lu Xuan.
