Lu Bu's rhetorical question was because he wanted to take the school entrance examination for Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan himself naturally understood very well, he threw out that topic, on the one hand, he wanted Lu Bu to solve his doubts, and on the other hand, he also wanted to confirm whether his guess was accurate.

In fact, many wise subordinates mostly do this, on the one hand, they need to understand what the lord wants, and on the other hand, they need to check whether they can meet the needs of the lord.

This is actually a game, or a tacit understanding between leaders and subordinates.

How can there be so many hearts and minds in this world.

It can't be said that there is no at all, but most of them are after a long period of running-in and training, and the two sides can always cooperate under the premise that the main principles remain unchanged.

This is true between leaders and subordinates, between parents and children, and between husband and wife.

Zhang Yan thought for a while, went through the prepared draft again, and said: "Now that our army is empty, the lord wants to fuel its arrogance, and then rely on the strength of Gaocheng to sharpen its sharpness, and then fight to settle it. ”

Lu Bu nodded, but did not comment, and then asked: "Two questions, first, how long can this method be overcome; Second, what kind of gains can our army gain after the victory? Does the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or does the disadvantages outweigh the pros? ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, he had carefully considered the first question.

But the second question raised by Lu Bu was really not studied well.

Lu Bu didn't bother him, played with the teacup on the table, and quietly waited for Zhang Yan's answer.

After half a cup of tea, Zhang Yan spoke: "Lord, if we follow this method of warfare, our army may win, but it will definitely be protracted, and it will take at least three or five days. In this way, we can ensure that the losses of our army will not be too large. ”

Lu Bu nodded, Zhang Yan analyzed this point very well.

If you want to ensure that the state army will not suffer too much damage as much as possible, then you must delay the defense of the city for at least three or five days, and the enemy's morale will be the lowest at this time.

Zhang Yan then frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "But in this way, the enemy army is also very likely to retreat directly, although the main force of our army is in the field, but three or five days is enough to mobilize a large army to return to defense." ”

After pacing for two steps, Zhang Yan then spoke: "And even if the enemy army does not run and is destroyed by our army, then it is just a battle, is it possible that you want to take advantage of the situation to counterattack Youzhou?" ”

Before Lu Bu could speak, Zhang Yan suddenly changed his words and said, "No, no, this is not the best time to continue to expand at all. ”

He began to pace slowly again, muttering muttered mutters.

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yan quietly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He could tell Zhang Yan directly about the plan and the plan, but he was not ready to do that.

He believes that Zhang Yan's future achievements are limitless, and now is a great opportunity to polish him.

Jade is not a weapon, Zhang Yan used undercover operations to prove his loyalty before, so since Lu Bu regards him as his own, he will cultivate Zhang Yan without reservation.

However, Zhang Yan is different from Guo Jia or Zhang Liao and others, they have been taught by Lu Bu, Tian Feng and others since they were children, so they can draw inferences from one another, and those who learn some theories can only be applied to practice.

However, Zhang Yan was purely born in mud legs, and all his skills were trained in the actual crawling and rolling, and telling him some empty theoretical knowledge would get half the result.

It's better to be like this now, let him ponder and think by himself, and Lu Bu will guide and correct him beside him.

This will give you better results.

Zhang Yan thought for a longer time this time, and said unconvincedly: "Could it be that the lord wants to fight a decisive battle with them, a quick victory?" ”

"Hahaha, not bad." Lu Bu put down the teacup he was playing with and clapped his hands and said.

"Then I will be loyal to you and guess how our army can quickly defeat these 50,000 Youzhou troops with less than 30,000 greedy wolf iron cavalry. Judging from their speed, they must all be cavalry, Youzhou is already good at cavalry, how can I win quickly with 30,000 against 50,000? ”

Zhang Yan fell into contemplation again when he heard this, he didn't think about it before, because his own troops were insufficient now, and although the combat power of the greedy wolf iron cavalry was amazing, it was not enough to make up for the absolute gap in numbers.

"Could it be that General Pan's Tuntian Army has finished training?" Zhang Yan then shook her head.

Lu Bu suddenly spoke: "Offering loyalty, those who focus on one place can be generals; Those who focus on the overall situation can be handsome. ”

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly closed his eyes and sketched a topographic map in his mind.

After a while, his eyes opened again, revealing excitement: "Lord, but the grassland has sent troops?" ”

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, and then explained: "I have already contacted Budugen's side, and he will act cheaply." ”

After a pause, Lu Bu continued: "Have you figured out the second question I asked you just now? ”

Zhang Yan continued: "If this is the case, the lord's plan can be powerful. Now our army is in an eventful season, the wolves in all directions are looking around, first the four counties of Sizhou are lost, then Louwu rebels, and now there are Youzhou to attack. If the war is lost, our army will definitely be in danger of being embattled. ”

"That's right, go on."

"But if our army can break through the troops in Youzhou, the princes of all places will definitely not dare to underestimate our army, and if they are undecided, our army will be able to gain a precious respite."

"Hahaha, Xianzhong, you really didn't disappoint me." Lu Bu paused and then spoke.

"The biggest crisis of our army now is not the 50,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou, but the hidden crisis behind these 50,000 soldiers and horses." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yan nodded, and then said: "If our army shows a little fatigue, all forces will take advantage of the situation. ”

"That's right. There are a lot of people waiting to see our jokes. If there is an opportunity to fall into the well, no one will let it go. Although we are now the most powerful princes, we have not yet reached the point of invincibility in the world. Lu Bu's face also became serious.

"Although Lou Wu's rebellion this time was also deliberate on our part, it caused a lot of damage after all. Now that the state is in ruins, what we lack most is time, and only through thunderous means and success in a war can we deter Xiaoxiao. In this way, we can thrive in the presence of wolves. ”

Lu Bu let out a long breath, the current state is quite a bit strong and strong, and his pressure is also very great, but in front of anyone, he can only be the strongest and most optimistic person, so he can only put these pressures in his heart.

For example, now, what he is most worried about is actually what Lou Wu said about Yu Ji and others.

It seems that in this troubled world, there is indeed a huge behind-the-scenes hand pushing behind the scenes.

Was it a coincidence that he crossed over, or was it? He didn't even dare to imagine it.

When he woke up today, he was also hesitant to tell Jia Xu about this matter.

In the end, it was decided to wait until the troops from Youzhou were killed, and then tell Jia Xu about this matter, after all, if he wanted to make a plan for the future, Jia Xu must understand the actual situation before he could make corresponding arrangements.

Lu Bu retracted his chaotic thoughts, looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Xianzhong, dare to follow me to meet the Youzhou Iron Cavalry." ”

"My subordinates are willing to go!" Zhang Yan hurriedly replied.

The 30,000 greedy wolf iron horsemen had already been assembled and waited quietly for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was dressed in a drape, riding a red rabbit war horse, and when he passed by the greedy wolf cavalry, he raised his hand in a dashing manner.

The 30,000 greedy wolf iron horsemen suddenly moved, and the extreme silence turned into extreme movement, and there was not a trace of chaos.

In the distance, a giant white wolf stood on top of a boulder, looking up to the sky and howling.

The slow spread of the desolate whistling sound added a touch of archaic to the picture of the warriors going on battle.

At the junction of Taiyuan County and Xinxing County, cavalry troops with as many as 50,000 people have been marching rapidly, and they have rushed from Youzhou to take advantage.

Above the Chinese army, a dragon flying and phoenix dancing Liu Zi waved in the wind, and under the Daxu, the three generals marched forward in the shape of a zigzag.

The person in the center has both ears over his shoulders, his arms are super long, and his face is quite handsome.

A warrior on the left-hand side, with a face like a heavy jujube, a green dragon glaive knife in his hand, and a three-foot beautiful hair on his chest fluttering gently.

On the right is a big man, burly, with a leopard head and eyes, and a snake spear in his right hand.

These three people are the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang who were once under the Tiger Prison and fought against Lu Bu for more than 100 rounds without defeat.

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes were slight, he looked into the distance, and said, "Big brother." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Guan Yu and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with the second brother?" ”

"Don't you think our journey here has been too smooth?" Guan Yu shifted his gaze to the distance.

Liu Bei nodded and was about to speak, when Zhang Fei on the other side opened his mouth first.

"Big brother, second brother, now that we have come to Taiyuan County, Jinyang is not far ahead, even if there is really any conspiracy, the three of us brothers will directly break them."

Liu Bei smiled dumbly, and said: "The third brother's words are true, he has already arrived here, and it is useless to say anything. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”

Guan Yu nodded and stopped talking.

Ever since he entered the territory of the state, a strange emotion has appeared in his heart.

It seems that there is always a pair of eyes, always monitoring the whereabouts of his own group.

When I came to this Taiyuan County today, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart, which was an intuition from the martial artists.

In the midst of the silence of the three of them, a black line suddenly appeared in the distance.

The black line quickly spread and turned into a black shadow, followed by smoke and dust rising behind them.

"Cavalry troops!" Guan Yu said in shock.

Such a formation is at least more than 20,000 cavalry troops.

The faces of the three brothers changed drastically. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Literature of Lu Bujie of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
