This time Lu Zhi led 50,000 people over to join Liu Bei, although Lu Zhi had an army of 100,000, but he couldn't really take 100,000 people, and all the troops were transferred to deal with Liu Zheng. Lu Zhi was also worried that Yuan Shao would do it behind his back.

So even if it was to deal with Liu Zheng, Lu Zhi needed to leave some people behind to defend Yuan Shao. Afraid of Yuan Shao's stab in the back.

When Lu Zhi's men arrived in Chenliu, Liu Bei had already received the news.

"Teacher."

Liu Bei is benevolent and very polite, when he met Lu Zhi. Greeted Lu Zhi respectfully.

Lu Zhi nodded lightly, signaling that he knew, and the group began to sit down to discuss the matter of dealing with Liu Zheng this time.

Although Yuan Shao brought up the matter of dealing with Liu Zheng, he already had such a plan in Lu Zhi's heart.

After all, Liu Zheng and his party were the opponents that the court wanted to eliminate, and they were the thorns in the eyes and flesh of the court. There has been no chance to make a move before, and the misestimation of Liu Zheng's strength has led to several battles between the imperial court and Liu Zheng not taking any advantage, but losing a large amount of territory.

Sitting and watching Liu Zheng, his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and now he is out of control, if he continues to ignore Liu Zheng's words. It is easy for Liu Zheng to develop so much that even the imperial court can't clean it up.

Therefore, after this plague, Lu Zhi also had the intention to temporarily suspend his troops with Yuan Shao, and planned to clean up the powerful Liu Zheng with Yuan Shao first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we will go south together to crusade against Liu Zheng, and everyone can say what they think."

Seeing that everyone began to sit down, Lu Zhi first opened his mouth to ask Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan for advice.

"Teacher, now we want to attack Liu Zheng, we must not delay, Liu Zheng is strong, there are many elite soldiers and generals, if we fight a protracted war, we may not be able to consume Liu Zheng, in my opinion, we should directly lead the troops south to attack Wu County, where Liu Zheng is located, as long as Wu County is defeated, and then we can occupy the entire Yangzhou, occupy Yangzhou, Liu Zheng will lose his stronghold and no longer threat!"

Liu Bei, who has been stationed in Yanzhou and pays close attention to Liu Zheng's dynamics, has the most right to speak, and immediately said a word to Lu Zhi after Lu Zhi's inquiry.

Liu Bei had already been brewing in his heart how to deal with Liu Zheng, he just waited for the plague to end, and began to gradually try to counterattack Liu Zheng. Now that he has finally waited for the opportunity, where will he have any sympathy for Liu Zheng, and he will fall into the ground.

The person present who wanted to defeat Liu Zheng the most was afraid that it was Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei suffered too much loss on Liu Zheng's body.

As soon as Liu Bei's plan was opened, Lu Zhi was interested.

"Xuande, you tell me your plan carefully."

Liu Bei saw that Lu Zhi was asking, so he didn't say much, but got up and walked a few steps, and then took Lu Zhi and the others to a big table.

"Teacher, look."

Liu Bei stretched out his finger and pointed to the table in front of him, on which there was a small sand table arranged by Liu Bei out of sand.

"This is our current position, this is Liu Zheng's position, we just need to move quickly from here, and then reach this position, quickly cross the Yangtze River, and approach Wu County, Liu Zheng can't even react."

Liu Bei said as he used his hand to point out a few positions for Lu Zhi on the sand table.

These locations are some of the more important towns.

"Liu Zheng only has 40,000 elites in Yangzhou! Among them, 20,000 are in Yuzhang and 20,000 are in Wu County, if we attack Wu County, what we really need to face is actually 20,000 Wu County men. No more than 30,000 people at most. If we defeat Liu Zheng before Liu Zheng's reinforcements arrive, we can make a final decision. ”

This is a method that Liu Bei thought of a long time ago, of course, this method needs to be caught off guard by Liu Zheng.

"Once Wu County is defeated, it is equivalent to cutting off Liu Zheng's north-south connection. When the time comes, we can continue to attack Liu Zheng in the south, or go north to recapture Xuzhou. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Lu Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he immediately looked at the map.

Lu Zhi didn't speak, his eyes looked left and right here, and he kept pondering whether what Liu Bei said could succeed.

According to what Liu Bei said, this plan of Wu Jun was very tempting, but Liu Zheng's strength and how many troops Liu Zheng could mobilize nearby were unknown to Liu Bei and Lu Zhi.

In addition, Liu Bei did not have a naval army, and if he wanted to cross the Yangtze River and surprise attack Wu County, there would still be some difficulties.

What Lu Zhi was worried about was that if Liu Zheng's men and horses had already noticed it and knew Liu Bei's plan, they would attack Liu Bei and the others halfway when they crossed the river.

There is no naval army, they are not accustomed to water, and they will suffer a big loss when they fight on the Yangtze River, and Lu Zhi, who has always won steadily, categorically cannot accept such a method.

"Xuande, I don't think the method you said still works."

Lu Zhi expressed his concerns, and Liu Bei's face sank, but he didn't think about this clearly.

"Teacher, although we may be ambushed by Liu Zheng, however, he does not have many troops, at most he can only mobilize 20,000 horses, if we fight to lose some manpower, there is no need to be afraid at all."

"That being said, but in case, if Liu Zheng doesn't know 20,000 horses, but 30,000, or even 40,000 horses, he can easily block our attack, and then we won't be busy in vain, but lose our troops again."

Liu Bei originally wanted to argue two sentences, but after hearing Lu Zhi say this, he didn't dare to say more.

"But Xuande, after your reminder, I have thought of a plan, maybe I can defeat Liu Zheng with one blow."

Originally, Liu Bei was already a little disappointed, but after hearing Lu Zhi's words, he ignited some hope and hurriedly asked Lu Zhi.

"Teacher, what's the plan?"

"Sound from east to west!"

Lu Zhi simply said four words, but did not say it explicitly.

However, with these four words, it is enough for Liu Bei to understand some meanings.

After discussing the plan, Liu Bei and Lu Zhi's men and horses soon began to act, with 50,000 soldiers and horses brought by Lu Zhi, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses of Gongsun Zhan, and 30,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Liu Bei in Yanzhou, a total of 100,000 troops gathered and went south to crusade against Liu Zheng.

When they set off from Yanzhou, Liu Zheng's spies arranged here had already spread the news back quickly.

In Wu County, Liu Zheng, who was waiting for Xu Huang's army, had just been triggered from Wu County, but at this time he heard the news from his spies.

"Report! Lord, the big thing is not good, Yanzhou Liu Bei, together with Lu Zhi, led an army of 100,000 to come straight to my Huainan! ”
