"It seems that General Lu really wants to attack North Xuzhou, don't be in a hurry, now Xuzhou has been taken by us, Gao Changgong is also gone, an old blind man has come, then this North Xuzhou is not already in our bag, you can eat when you want! So we now have to think of the best way, the most beneficial way for us, to eat North Xuzhou! Xiao Yao said confidently.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops into battle, as a vanguard, to take North Xuzhou for Xiao Dudu! Of course, the last general also hopes that the brothers of the forward brigade can cooperate with me to fight, then the last general will be more confident in capturing North Xuzhou! Lu Guangda said a little embarrassed.

Although he is older than Xiao Yao, but now Xiao Yao is the assassin of Xuzhou, and Emperor Chen Xu has also ordered that the more than 10,000 Middle Route Army led by him and the remnants of the East Route Army who have lost their command are all under Xiao Yao's command, that is to say, Xiao Yao, who is now eighteen years old, is the direct boss of Lu Guangda, a middle-aged veteran in his forties! In addition, he also admired the combat effectiveness of the forward brigade very much, so Lu Guangda was still very respectful to Xiao Yao.

"General Lu, the Governor of Bendu is now the Governor of Xuzhou and the history of the Xuzhou Thorn, and he is no longer only the commander of the forward brigade before, but also the commander of you and the Eastern Route Army, although I am indeed a little young, but there are some words, I still have to make it clear to General Lu, I hope General Lu doesn't mind!" Xiao Yao put away his smile and said to Lu Guangda very seriously.

"Please speak clearly! Although the last general is older than Xiao Dudu, he also knows that he speaks by strength on the battlefield, and the truth that the capable live in it, the last general understands it very well! Moreover, the last general is now considered a subordinate of Xiao Dudu, and the last general will strictly abide by Xiao Dudu's orders, and he will definitely not have any dissatisfaction and resistance to the Du Du because of his age! Lu Guangda said sincerely.

"Before, the governor of Pontus was only the commander of the forward brigade, so I don't want to ask about General Lu and the Eastern Route Army, even if you have any casualties, I can only express regret! But now that you are all under my command, that is to say, the soldiers under your command are already my Xiao Yao's soldiers! And I, Xiao Yao, treat my soldiers well, but I am a well-known calf protector, so I don't want to see my subordinates go to death casually, and it's the kind that dies meaninglessly! Xiao Yao said seriously.

"Then what does Xiao Dudu mean is that he thinks that there is a problem with my method of marching and fighting, especially in the battle of Xuzhou, there are too many casualties, so he does not agree with me to lead my troops to attack Northern Xuzhou?" Lu Guangda said nervously.

"Of course not! I just want General Lu to understand my combat style and habit of leading troops! I know how to march and fight, how can there be immortals! But I don't like to let my soldiers lose their lives for some meaningless victory, and sometimes, Wang Lin would rather wait one more day than die one more soldier! That's why I've been refusing General Lu's request to send troops before! Xiao Yao explained.

"But Gao Changgong is obviously hiding in Lanling County, two hundred miles away, and his subordinates are a group of defeated generals with no fighting spirit, we only need a surprise attack, and we can absolutely wipe them out in one fell swoop, but now we have been holding our troops, resulting in Gao Changgong being transferred back to Qi Yecheng, and we have lost the opportunity to capture this Lanling King of Qi alive and avenge our dead soldiers!" Lu Guangda finally said the resentment in his heart in front of Xiao Yao.

"General Lu is a veteran of the Chen State, who has fought for many years, and has more experience and experience than me, so let me ask you, what do you think of the current Qi State? If we Chen Guo and Zhou Guo join forces, will he be able to resist? Xiao Yao suddenly changed the subject.

"The Qi State has been fighting on two fronts all the year round, and its military strength has long been not the Qi State that could sweep the world back then, and now they are in charge of the Dusk, the villain is in power, the loyal and good generals are all excluded and killed by mistake, and the people in the country are even more miserable, so if our Da Chen and Zhou State launch an attack on the Qi State at the same time, the Qi State will die!" Lu Guangda said loudly.

"Then if our army of the State of Chen fights against the army of the State of Zhou, if there is no forward brigade of my country, according to the previous combat methods of Du Du and General Lu, do you think the State of Chen can defeat the State of Zhou?" Xiao Yao asked again.

"This, if there is no forward brigade of the governor, we can't even win the Qi State, and the strength of the Zhou State is on par with the Qi State, so our Chen State is indeed not the opponent of the Zhou State!" Lu Guangda said honestly.

"Then why hasn't our Majesty and Yu Wenyong of the Zhou State joined forces now to wipe out the Qi State in one fell swoop?" Xiao Yao continued to ask.

"Well, this may be the right time!" Lu Guangda was a little speechless.

"That's because if we join forces with the Zhou State to wipe out the Qi State, then the next target of the Zhou State will be our Chen State!" Xiao Yao suddenly said loudly, startling Lu Guangda.

"If the Zhou State dares to invade our Da Chen, then we will immediately raise troops to confront it, and we have the Governor and the Forward Brigade here, I believe that we can definitely defeat the Zhou State and break through Chang'an, but it is still okay to treat them as north of the Yellow River!" Lu Guangda argued while patting Xiao Yao's ass.

"The Forward Brigade is not invincible either! The forward brigade has only 5,000 people, and the dependence on gunpowder and artillery shells is very serious, if Zhou sent an army of more than 100,000 to surround the forward brigade, and when we run out of ammunition and food, the combat effectiveness of the forward brigade may not be as good as the army under General Lu! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"What does Xiao Dudu mean?" Lu Guangda asked puzzledly, he couldn't hear why Xiao Yao told him about the weakness of the Forward Brigade.

"I mean, when we recover Huaibei from the hands of the Qi State, then the Northern Expedition mission of our Chen State in the past few years will be completed, even if the Qi State declines now, we can't let him perish, we will use the Qi State to contain the Zhou State! is the same as the situation of the Three Kingdoms back then, the Three Kingdoms coexisted for decades, but after Wei destroyed Shu, Wu would not live long! Doesn't General Lu know the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold? Xiao Yao asked.

"This, isn't General Xiao ready to attack Northern Xuzhou?" Lu Guangda finally understood what Xiao Yao meant.

"Nope! Your Majesty has issued a holy decree that we want to break through Beixuzhou, so we still have to send troops, but our attack method can't be like your previous siege of the city, just rely on killing, and then directly break through the city gate to finish! Xiao Yao showed a treacherous smile.

"Don't just break through the city gates? Then how do we break the city, do we want to besiege the city, and then let Beixuzhou surrender automatically! Lu Guangda asked even more puzzled.

"That's right! We just want the people of North Xuzhou to automatically open the city gate and then welcome us into the city! But since we can't beat the Qi State too badly, lest we let the Zhou State take advantage of it, and then send troops to destroy the Qi State, then we will have to directly face the threat of the Zhou State, so our attack method is to outwit North Xuzhou, and then break through it without occupying it! Xiao Yao said with a smile.
