Lu Xun, who was still a little hesitant, immediately became calm when he heard Xu Shu's words, and instantly made up his mind and said, "Okay, then I'll play with you a big one." ”

As the representative of Jinling Academy, Lu Xun has always been-for-tat with Xu Shu, who is the representative of Lumen Academy. Of course, Xu Shu, as the representative of Lumen Academy, is naturally not because he is stronger than Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, but because his temperament is not as calm or arrogant as the first two. He has always been chivalrous, and he has been charging on the front line of Jinling Academy, so he has become the representative of Lumen Academy.

The current Xu Shu is constantly brushing up on meritorious deeds in Xiliang, as the only strategist, he is surrounded by elite soldiers. And the opponent is countless Qiang people and other alien races, both in terms of wisdom and combat power, they are completely crushed, and the battle record is really handy.

Relatively speaking, Lu Xun, who was tied to Gan Ning and became a combination, had much less chance of making meritorious contributions. Water war, there is no prince in the world who has a hole in his brain to fight a water war with Gan Ning, and if Lu Xun wants to make meritorious contributions, there is basically no other way except to die with Gan Ning. He, Lu Xun, didn't want to simply be a grain transport officer with Gan Ning.

Seeing Lu Xun's resolute appearance, the corners of Gan Ning's mouth hooked: "That's right, starve the faint to death, and support the courageous." With your advice, plus me leading the army to fight, as long as you dare to do something, what credit can't you get? You say, what are we going to do? ”

Lu Xun directly took out the map of Hebei from his arms, and after looking around near the boundary bridge for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Simply plundering Yuan Shao's grain and grass team can't cause too much trouble to Yuan Shao, after all, we only have 20,000 soldiers, and we are not cavalry, once the other party moves away from the river and sends additional soldiers to guard, we have no way at all." Since you want to do a big vote, you have to pinch Yuan Shao's vital point. ”

"You want to attack the grain and grass gathering place that Yuan Shao prepared for this 300,000 army?" Gan Ning said.

"That's right, as long as Yuan Shao's granary is burned, his 300,000 troops can only retreat, and the danger of Youzhou can naturally be solved."

Gan Ning's eyes swept over the situation near the boundary bridge on the map, and frowned: "But the Jizhou place is so big, and there are so many places near the boundary bridge, how can we find it?" Yuan Shao must attach great importance to such an important place, and keep it secret, we haven't gotten any news at all, if we send scouts to search for it now, just the two counties of Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian County will be enough for us to find it for a few months. ”

Lu Xun, who had never left the map, smiled slightly when he heard this: "It is naturally impossible to force it, but we can infer it." ”

"Inference?" Gan Ning was puzzled: "How can this be pushed?" ”

Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's simple." First of all, do you think that if you are Yuan Shao and you are confident that you can defeat Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao, then the next Northern Expedition to Youzhou is inevitable, where will you put such an important granary? ”

"Closer to Youzhou." The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and this common sense Gan Ning is still clear. The grain and grass that can supply 300,000 troops is not a small amount, in order to facilitate the later Northern Expedition to Youzhou, this granary must be built relatively close to Youzhou. Otherwise, the subsequent Northern Expedition will need to be relocated, depending on the variables.

"Yes, and this place is not too far from the boundary bridge, it should be near the northeast of Zhongshan Country." Lu Xun said that he circled the map.

"Wouldn't it be closer to Hejian then? Why not here? Gan Ning asked.

"Because Yuan Shao wants to guard against us." Lu Xun smiled and said: "Yuan Shao's subordinates are mostly good plans, although they defeated you last time, they still won't take it lightly." This time, they must have calculated our Jiangdong naval army, Hejian County is densely populated with rivers, not to mention the Bohai Sea, only the scarce rivers near Zhongshan Country are their best choice. ”

"I see." Gan Ning suddenly realized, then looked at the circle on the map excitedly, and said, "I'm sure it's easy to handle this area, I'll send scouts to investigate now." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Lu Xun's gaze swept over the larger county town near Zhongshan Kingdom, and finally stopped at a certain triangle area, drawing another circle in the middle.

Gan Ning looked at the small circle on the map, which was more than ten times smaller, and said in disbelief: "Don't tell me, you deduced that Yuan Shao's granary is here?" ”

Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Can we think of cutting off its grain and grass in the rear of the sneak attack, Gongsun Zhan can't think of it?" The cavalry under his command came and went like the wind and disappeared, if he happened to hit a pot and served Yuan Shao, wouldn't it be miserable? ”

"Tang County, Puyin, Wangdu, these three counties are adjacent, just in a triangular trend, each other is the horns, Yuan Shao in order to guard against Gongsun Zhan, nine times out of ten will put the granary near this, in order to protect. But..."

"But what?" Gan Ning asked.

"Yuan Shao is cautious, such an important place will definitely be strictly controlled. It is estimated that there are quite a lot of troops in the three surrounding counties, and if we find their granaries and burn them, we are afraid that they will be discovered immediately. At that time, under its siege, our 20,000 foot soldiers may be overturned. And there is no river around, not far away is Zhongshan County, there must be heavy troops in it, even to escape the encirclement, I am afraid that it will be constantly pursued and killed, and the risk is very great. Lu Xun said with a serious face.

Gan Ning smiled freely when he heard this: "How can there be a war that is not risky?" With such a big credit in front of you, what is this risk? Although not all of these soldiers under my command are my original descendants, they are all well-trained elites of Dachu. As for this group of weak soldiers in Jizhou, even if they are really surrounded, Lao Tzu can also lead the army to kill them. ”

Jokes, is he still afraid of risks? Heaven is not afraid of the earth, no one can cure him except Yuan Shu, and he has done less to die? So far, I haven't gotten a good job, and I'm alive and kicking.

"Of course, this is just my guess, you send some spies to investigate first. Pay attention to concealment, don't startle the snake, it's best to change into Yuan Shaojun's clothes before going. Lu Xun said.

"I know this, when Lao Tzu was a water bandit in the Yangtze River, this kind of thing was not less, don't worry." Gan Ning said without scruples. He didn't care about the experience of being a water bandit, but he still missed it, and he felt a little ashamed and proud.

Lu Xun nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said with some hesitation: "This operation is a bit risky, why don't you report to Your Majesty first?" ”

"No!" Gan Ning waved his hand directly and said, "If you report it, I don't know how long it will take." The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, and His Majesty has always been at ease with my old gan. If the army is defeated, I will take responsibility with all my might, and it will be a big deal to be demoted by one level. I must teach Yuan Shao a lesson this time to pay tribute to my dead brothers. ”

Seeing Gan Ning's serious face, Lu Xun said with a solemn gaze: "Don't worry, I made this plan, just to not lose to Xu Yuanzhi, and I will also fight this battle beautifully." ”
