Chapter 480: Preparation

When Lu Bu arrived at Yunmengze,

The situation in the Central Plains has also changed.

Xu Shu led an army of 150,000 to Jizhou,

Yuan Shao actively responded,

Hoarded a large army to garrison Yecheng and prepare for defense.

However, Xu Shu's response was beyond everyone's expectations,

He didn't concentrate on attacking Yuan Shao's base camp Yecheng,

Instead, a full-fledged flowering tactic was adopted.

20,000 'go to worry about the army' went straight to Youzhou,

began to harass throughout the territory of Youzhou,

The 20,000 'unequaled army' went straight to Qingzhou,

The steppe cavalry led by the Tuntian soldiers and Budugen,

Then began to sweep the entire land of Jizhou.

With a strong attitude, he began to occupy the land of Jizhou like ploughing and sweeping holes.

Even the 30,000 greedy wolf iron horsemen,

have been sent south by him to support Cao Ang,

Now, there are only 8,000 Gao Shun's trapped camp left around Xu Shu,

simply didn't look at Yuan Shao's army in his eyes.

Xu Shu's troops have come to Jizhou for nearly half a decade,

After entering Jizhou,

Xu Shu took the lead in capturing Linshui County,

and Yuan Shao's base camp Ye County is far away,

It was made clear that the carriage and horses were the main force to contain Yuan Shaojun.

At the beginning, Xu Shu led the army mightily,

Yuan Shao can only defend passively,

As a result, in the early morning of the second day of the capture of Linshui County,

Lu Bu's army scattered in all directions with great fanfare,

At the beginning, Yuan Shao thought that this was Xu Shu's suspicious plan,

As a result, I didn't expect that after a day,

I received urgent war reports from all over the country,

Yuan Shao realized that he had been fooled,

Hurriedly sent 20,000 troops to rush to Linshui County,

The distance between the two places is not far,

Yuan Shao had already figured out the troop configuration of Lu Bu's army.

Knowing that there are less than 10,000 people in the city at this moment,

And Ye County is only a day and a half away from Linshui,

If it really happens,

Even if a large army is sent to the rescue, it will be too late.

However, the result greatly exceeded Yuan Shao's expectations,

Lu Bu's army, which is at an absolute inferior's strength,

Dare to go out of the city to fight,

And it took only about 8,000 men and horses,

unexpectedly beat the 20,000 vigorous Yuan Shaojun to the ground,

And that's not all,

10,000 rescue troops sent by Yuan Shao,

was ambushed halfway through,

A fire burned most of the 10,000 people to death,

Less than 5,000 people were left to flee back to Ye County in disarray.

Two defeats in a row,

Let Yuan Shao jump like thunder,

On the second day, he led a large army to Linshui County.

Xu Shu avoided fighting this time,

On the head of the city hangs a free battle card,

Although Yuan Shao is helpless,

But he's a man who cherishes feathers,

Now that Lu Bujun has hung the war-free card,

Then he naturally refused to attack forcibly at this time,

Instead, he put on a generous posture.

As a result, he is still waiting under the city,

But suddenly received the news that Yecheng was attacked,

Shocked Yuan Shao hurriedly returned with a large army,

On the way, he was harassed by Lu Bujun many times,

Although there was no loss,

But it was also exhausted.

Since then, Yuan Shao never dared to leave Yecheng for half a step.

I can only frown and have a sad face every day,

In addition to spreading out the city to listen to the news,

It's anxious in the house like ants on a hot pot.

On the other side, in the county town of Linshui,

Xu Shu is complacent,

On this day, Xu Shu, as usual,

Deduction back and forth on the sand table in the city,

The two guards beside him were reading to him the news from all over the world at the same time,

This guy is actually single-minded,

And it looks like it's going to be easy.

Xu Shu is pointing on the sand table,

Suddenly he stood up,

Turning his head to look at the guard on the left, he said:

"Wait, what's the news you just said?"

The guard was stunned for a moment,

Hurriedly looked down at the battle report in his hand,

Replied in a loud voice:

"The root of Budu is now Yangping County, and it is gathering to ...... Dunqiu County"

"It's not this, it's about the caravan!"

Xu Shu hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt the guard's words,

His eyes burned as he looked at the guards.

The guards couldn't help but be even more nervous,

Quickly picked up another battle report and read:

"A group of merchants from Qingzhou to Jizhou came to transport supplies, which was intercepted by General Pan's army, and most of the goods transported were some contraband......

After Xu Shu heard the news,

The brows furrowed tightly,

Suddenly, he hurriedly said in a loud voice:

"Where is Mr. Tong now?"

The guard hurriedly spoke:

"Rest in the house!"

Xu Shu didn't wait for the guards to finish speaking,

A robe quickly walked out of the door,

Hurried to another room.

It's a detached house,

It's a little far from the other rooms,

Separately equipped with a small courtyard,

Xu Shu came to the gate of the courtyard,

Knock respectfully and lightly on the courtyard door a few times.

"It's Yuan Zhi, come in and talk."

Xu Shu tidied up his clothes,

Gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked in,

And I saw the middle of the courtyard,

Tong Yuan sat cross-legged,

An iron spear rests horizontally on both legs,

He opened his eyes and looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu hurriedly bowed,

Turn around and close the courtyard door,

Only then did he quickly walk to Tong Yuan's approach,

Whispered:

"Senior Tong, you should be ready to do it over there."

Tong Yuan's gray eyebrows trembled slightly,

Raising his head, he looked at Xu Shu inquiringly,

The latter nodded solemnly to him,

Tong Yuan raised the iron spear,

The whole person also stood up from the spot,

A momentum that looks at the world flashes away,

Then he turned his head to look at Xu Shu casually and said:

"Is Yuan Zhi's words serious?"

Xu Shu nodded solemnly again,

Whispered:

"Although there is no clear news, according to the following estimates, it should be in the next few days, and those people will definitely do it."

Tong Yuan glanced at Xu Shu deeply,

This time he came with the army,

Not only to protect Xu Shu's safety,

There is also an important purpose,

It is to lure out the Japanese assassins who are hiding in the shadows,

Ready to give them a heavy blow,

Therefore, this time, in every army on the surface,

There are one or two people to protect,

But in the dark, there is still a hidden army,

In order to avoid startling the snake,

This group of people is very hidden,

It will never be used until the critical moment.

For Xu Shu's ability,

When these days come,

Tong Yuan also recognized it very much,

Knowing that this junior won't be open-mouthed,

After thinking for a moment,

Tong Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Good! I'll go and tell them. ”

Xu Shu naturally knows,

Tong Yuan's mouth said that they were those people.

"Yuan Zhi, I'm afraid those guys, the main target this time should be you, otherwise, I'll send a few more masters over here, right?"

Xu Shu shook his head slightly and said:

"Senior, don't do this, I'm afraid it will startle the snake. The enemy must have infiltrated our army, and didn't you say that the other party is good at it? ”

When Tong Yuan heard this, he had no choice but to nod,

Stretched out his hand to hold Xu Shu's arm,

Shen Sheng said:

"Then you'll have to be careful! Although we came prepared, we have to say that these guys from the Japanese country have their own uniqueness in terms of assassination. ”

Xu Shu nodded solemnly,

With a fist, he saluted Tong Yuan and said:

"Senior Tong, then I will leave first, there are still some other things to deal with."

Tong Yuan nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal Xu Shu to take care of himself.

After Xu Shu left Tong Yuan's small courtyard,

Quickly make your way to the barracks in the city.

In the barracks, there is a lot of training in full swing,

Although Yuan Shaojun has been for a period of time,

There is not much movement,

But Gao Shun did not stop the training of the army for a day,

In addition to the eight thousand camps in the city,

There are also thousands of tuntian soldiers and greedy wolf cavalry,

In the previous series of battles,

They contribute the most,

Now it is all handed over by Xu Shu to Gao Shun for temporary unified management.

After Xu Shu entered the barracks,

didn't go directly to the military aircraft account,

Instead, he walked straight to the martial arts arena,

In the barracks, non-emergency military affairs are not allowed to ride horses,

Even the Supreme Commander Lu Bu again,

Nor can you disobey military orders,

Xu Shu naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

After coming to the martial arts arena,

Sure enough, I saw Gao Shun's familiar figure,

He was watching the drill in the arena with a solemn face,

Even though he just stood straight,

But on top of the instantaneous armor,

Sweat dripping non-stop,

Apparently it had been standing motionless for some time again.

This is also the practice of Gao Shun,

As long as the soldiers start the drill,

There is no significant military intelligence,

He will stand motionless on the platform,

Observe the training of the soldiers,

This is the rule that he can't shake,

It is precisely because of Gao Shun's example that

So even if the training is hellish and hard,

The soldiers also gritted their teeth and persevered.

Gao Shun naturally also discovered the arrival of Xu Shu,

But he just turned his head and looked,

Then he carefully observed the training of the soldiers.

Xu Shu ran to Gao Shun's side,

shouted loudly at the top of his voice:

"Boss Gao, follow me to the military aircraft tent!"

Gao Shun twisted his face,

looked at Xu Shu with a serious expression,

Only then did he slowly nod his head.

moved his joints, which were a little stiff,

explained a few words to the adjutant general next to him,

Only then did he follow Xu Shu's footsteps and leave Dianjiangtai.

After entering the military aircraft account,

Xu Shu familiarly found a big water bladder,

Directly handed it to Gao Shun's face,

Gao Shun is also welcome,

I pulled the plug and poured it down.

Xu Shu picked up a water cup at this time,

I also drank a glass of water myself,

"Lao Gao, three days soon, five days full, Yuan Shaojun will have a large-scale operation. This time was different, Yuan Shao must have sent a large army to forcibly attack the city. ”

Gao Shun raised his eyebrows,

Didn't speak,

His fists were clenched.

Xu Shu then spoke:

"Now, all kinds of supplies in the city are relatively well prepared, but we also have to prepare for the worst......

"Where the trap is, it's foolproof!"

Gao Shun categorically interrupted Xu Shu's words,

Xu Shu looked at Gao Shun steadily,

The latter did not shy away from looking at him,

After a long time, Xu Shu finally showed a smile on his face,

He patted Gao Shun on the shoulder,

"I know that you can be trusted, so I am relieved to let you stay with me in this place."

Sit back in your seat,

Xu Shu pointed to the topographic map next to him and said:

"In a while, I will order the Tuntian army to return to this place, and the grassland cavalry will continue to sweep in Jizhou, but there will also be 10,000 people to come to support Linshui."

After a pause, Xu Shu lowered his voice and continued:

"But it will take three to five days, and by that time, Yuan Shaojun must have already launched an attack. Now in the entire Linshui City, in addition to your 8,000 trapped camp, there are only 2,000 greedy wolf cavalry and 2,000 tuntian soldiers. I am prepared to send those two thousand greedy wolf cavalry out of the city this night. Thirty miles south of the city, there was a hidden valley, where I had sent men to simply clear up a place in which I could ambush two thousand men. ”

After saying this,

Xu Shu suddenly changed his words and said:

"With these two thousand cavalry missing in the city, your pressure will increase significantly, and these two thousand people, I am not prepared to use them in the short term!"

After Gao Shun heard this,

Leng Su's face still has no expression,

He nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.

Gao Shun is notoriously taciturn,

Xu Shu didn't care about the other party's non-opening.

After explaining some things again,

Xu Shu hurriedly left the barracks again,

After returning to Fuchu,

Several orders were given one after another,

This is when I finally returned to the room I had before.

His brows furrowed, and he stared at the sand table in the room and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he picked up a pen and paper,

Start writing, drawing, and drawing,

After a long time,

Xu Shucai let out a long breath,

Putting the pen in his hand on the table,

Rubbing his furrowed brows,

The expression on his face finally relaxed.

"Little Liu!"

Xu Shu opened his mouth softly,

One of the guards next to him stepped forward,

"You go and invite those wealthy gentry in the city to come to the dinner, and no one is allowed to be missing!"

Xu Shu's eyes were very deep,

Flashing with a dangerous light,

The words are calm and powerful.

The guard named Xiaoliu is upright,

hurriedly bowed down and took the order.

Xu Shu then looked at the other guard,

"You also go down and prepare, and you are ready to do it tonight!"

The guards didn't say a word,

After a respectful salute,

Exited the room.

After the guard left,

Xu Shu was the only one left in the house,

He sat down slowly,

Stretch out a hand,

Gently tapping on the tabletop,

This habit was learned from Lu Bu,

Every time before a major action,

He's going to be thinking,

Unconsciously tapping lightly on the table,

The crisp sound came rhythmically,

Xu Shu carefully recalled today's plan,

See if there's anything missing.

Time passes quietly imperceptibly,

Xu Shu was motionless in the room, thinking,

No one came into the house to disturb him.

Unconsciously,

The sun outside began to sink in the west,

Xu Shu closed his eyes tightly,

Seems to be unaware of the changes outside.

I don't know how long it has been.

The guard who went out came in quickly,

came to Xu Shu and stood solemnly,

Xu Shu's eyelids trembled slightly,

Open your eyes to the guard,

Asked softly:

"Are you ready?"

The guard nodded,

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly opened when he heard this,

Across a ray of light,

He stood up and walked straight out.
