"Family master, Huang Zhong's army is out of the city, should we take the opportunity to attack Lujiang?"

Wu Xiao, a general under Chen Deng, asked.

Chen Deng squinted his eyes: "The city wall of Lujiang City is very high, and there are still 20,000 troops in it, even if our 40,000 troops cooperate with the families in Lujiang City, it is estimated that it will be difficult to take it for a while, and if it is dragged down, it will be dangerous." Lujiang City is absolutely undesirable, and we will now march forward to attack Zhu Heng. ”

Wu Xiao was a guest of Chen Deng's family, and although it was a little strange about this order, he still complied with it.

"Display!"

After Wu Xiao left, Chen Deng suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Another general walked in: "What does the head of the house command?" ”

Chen Deng smiled slightly: "You led two thousand soldiers to attack Lujiang!" Remember, don't take the initiative to attack, set up camp outside Lujiang City, and occasionally go to show off your might. Be sure to leave three days after you arrive! ”

Lie Dian arched his hand: "No." ”

Looking at the back of Chen Lie's departure, Chen Deng smiled: "Guo Fengxiao, I hope you don't disappoint me too much!" ”

Chen Deng's talent for strategy is camouflage, which can disguise a small number of troops as ten times or even dozens of times the strength of the army to deceive the enemy. In the eyes of others, these two thousand soldiers are a real army of 40,000, and if they are not attacked, they will basically not be discovered.

Although there are still many small flaws, Guo Jia is not in Lujiang, and there are no powerful strategists in Lujiang, so no one must be able to see it, which is enough to hide from others.

Guo Jia is calculating Chen Deng, and Chen Deng is also calculating Guo Jia. As long as Guo Jia received the information and returned to Lujiang, Chen Deng could eat Zhu Heng's army in one bite.

In fact, Chen Deng was also very helpless to do this. There are two major families in Xuzhou, the Chen family is in charge of the government, and the Cao family is in charge of the army. However, this time to attack Yangzhou, these people did not dare to send Xuzhou's registered soldiers.

The Han family is in danger, but it hasn't fallen yet! It is a great sin to transfer troops without an order! Even if the Chen family and the Cao family don't care about the Han family, Tao Qian is still alive!

No matter how incompetent and weak Lao Tao is, after all, it is the history of Xuzhou. If they dared to mobilize the army without Tao Qian's permission, even if they defeated Yuan Shu, their family would basically be finished.

This broke the unspoken rules between the family and the princes, and the princes would dare to accept them in the future? Even the Maison would not allow them to do so.

So this time, many families attacked Yangzhou, except for Jingzhou, which really has a name. Wang Rong did not go to the alliance, and he was relatively weak, and was coerced by several families to fight in the name of exterminating the rebel party and sent a large army to attack Yangzhou.

The other Xuzhou and Yuzhou divisions are unknown. Kong Ling and Tao Qian have both gone to the alliance, and they have just formed an alliance and decided not to attack each other, how could these two pedantic old men slap themselves in the face?

Cao Bao and the others all claimed to be sick on the surface, and secretly organized the families of various families to attack Yangzhou. On the surface, they claim to be bandits and rogues, and they play a routine with several families in Yangzhou.

Otherwise, why did Yuan Shu choose this time to turn against the family, it was because they couldn't attack themselves openly at this time.

The combined strength of Yuzhou and Xuzhou is not as good as that of Jingzhou, and the gap in combat power is far behind.

Because they are not leading regular troops, but strong men selected by some domestic servants and black households. The strength of the strong is okay, and when it comes to fighting, their combat strength must at least be halved.

In fact, the main attack on Yangzhou this time was Cai Mao's army and Huang Zu's army, and the others were just helping to contain the troops, or catching the weak points and rushing up.

The combat power of these family armies is average, but they can't stand the large number! If there are more ants, you can eat elephants! More than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers placed near the Lujiang River and Jiujiang River are also a considerable force.

If you go dry, you can only lose both, and it is other families that are cheaper, which is unacceptable to Chen Deng. Therefore, Chen Deng could only keep looking for opportunities to weaken Yuan Shu and create opportunities for Cai Mao, Cao Bao and others.

Xuzhou is not a good place to send troops and generals, mainly because there is more money and more food, and the soldiers are not elite.

Tao Qian's command can still get his hands on the 20,000 Danyang elite soldiers he pulled out from his hometown, that is, Danyang, Yangzhou, and most of the others are miscellaneous soldiers.

But these 20,000 Danyang soldiers were all taken away by Tao Qian, even if they didn't take Cao Bao away, they didn't dare to pull it out to fight Yangzhou.

And the Chen family has always been a strategist, there are basically few good generals, and there are only two or three second-rate and quasi-second-rate generals under their command, so you can imagine how weak the frontal combat ability is.

Without more than three times the strength of the other party, Chen Deng didn't want to touch it at all, at most, he would lose both, and this had to be because the other party did not have a first-class general.

Therefore, Chen Deng is now eyeing Zhu Heng, on the one hand, Zhu Heng's talent is really powerful, and he firmly holds most of Chen Deng's hatred. On the other hand, Zhu Heng has an army of 10,000 under his command, and he is at most a quasi-first-class general.

Zhu Heng is an irresistible tempting bait, which lures Chen Deng to take the bait automatically. This is also the same as Guo Jia thought, the other party will definitely want to eat this piece of fat.

Three days later, the display came to the front of Lujiang City as scheduled, and set up camp after showing off his might in front of Lujiang City.

Looking at the tens of thousands of troops and huge camps in the distance, how dare the Lujiang guards take the initiative to attack? While nervously guarding Lujiang City, he sent someone to ask Guo Jia for help.

"Fengxiao, the other party didn't take the bait, but took the opportunity to attack Lujiang City, let's go back to help!"

Huang Zhong is now anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Lujiang is what Yuan Shuqian told him to keep it, and he can't lose it no matter what!

Guo Jia was not as impatient as Huang Zhong, and carefully pondered the contents of the letter in his hand.

"Hansheng, for the general, you must be calm and calm, and you can't be impatient at any time!"

Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia with a serious face, and realized that he was a little concerned and confused, so he hurriedly calmed down.

Guo Jia nodded with satisfaction, although Huang Zhong is not experienced, his ability and temperament are the best choice, and he is enough to become a general in the future and take charge alone.

handed the letter in his hand to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, don't you think there is something wrong with the content of this letter?" ”

Huang Zhong carefully looked at the information in his hand: "What's the problem?" Isn't this written by Xu Ming? Is it a fake letter made by the enemy? ”

Guo Jia smiled: "The official seal on this is clear, and there is no trace of unpacking and alteration, which is naturally true." However, don't you think the above content is a bit strange? ”

Huang Zhong carefully looked at the information in his hand again, looking at it word by word. I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart but couldn't say it, so I was able to put down the information in my hand and look at Guo Jia: "Please give me advice." ”

Guo Jia's eyes were full of appreciation when he saw Huang Zhong's performance: "Hansheng, how long do you think it will take for the other party's more than 40,000 troops to take Yangzhou?" ”

Huang Zhong carefully calculated in his heart: "Five or six days." ”

"So how long will it take for us to go back to Lujiang?"

"It only takes four days to march in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong already faintly felt that something was wrong: "In this way, the other party is completely useless, and he can't take Lujiang at all!" ”

Guo Jia's wise eyes revealed a hint of coldness: "That's right, the other party has a wise man, and he will definitely not do such a stupid thing." He must not have done this to defeat the Lujiang River, but to force us to return to defend the Lujiang River. ”

"And we now have an army of 20,000, and with you and me, the other party will definitely not gnaw on our hard bones. If this is calculated, the only possible target of the other party is. ”

"Zhu Heng!" Without waiting for Guo Jia to say the second half of the sentence, Huang Zhong suddenly said.
