When the Cao army and the Liangzhou army in Chang'an were fighting, Lu Xun, Zhang Liao, and Le Jin were also leading 30,000 reinforcements to Hefei in a hurry

Zhang Liao's ability to lead the troops was good, and he led the crowd to march in a hurry, and traveled more than 40 miles a day, but it didn't take too long to rush to the city of Hefei

The speed of this march surprised even Zhou Yu, the general of the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu expected that reinforcements might arrive, but he didn't expect the reinforcements to come so quickly

There is a cloud in the art of war: "Fifty miles and fighting for profit, the general's law is half to; Thirty miles, and two-thirds of the way to the profit, "Zhang Liao can travel more than 40 miles a day to the city of Hefei, and the number of troops has not been lost, which is already a very good performance, which can be called the speed of soldiers."

Although Zhou Yu was a little surprised by the speed of the reinforcements, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the arrival of the reinforcements was expected from the beginning, but in the face of the situation where the three armies attacked Cao together, Cao Cao could not send reinforcements over, and the number could not be many, and Zhou Yu's confidence in breaking the city was not reduced at all

Zhou Yu did not adopt the method of besieging the city on all sides, but surrounded three and one Liao, and immediately led reinforcements into the city from the west gate of Hefei, which was not attacked by soldiers

The defenders in Hefei City were originally only 20,000 for consecutive days, and the city was even more consumed, and now it is less than 10,000 people, although the Jiangdong Army has lost some time when attacking the city, but the soldiers who can fight are still more than 90,000, even if 30,000 reinforcements enter the city, the number of Cao troops in the city is still less than half of the Jiangdong Army

The situation is far from optimistic

It is really difficult to repel the Jiangdong Army, and it would be great if there were some accidents behind it, such as the burning of the granary

When he led the army to come to the rescue, Lu Xun had already found out that the Jiangdong Army set up a grain camp on the north side of Chaohu Lake, and this grain camp was responsible for the food supply of the 100,000 Jiangdong Army, which was extremely important

It's a pity that Zhou Yu is not a stupid person, the importance of grain and grass, Zhou Yu is very clear, the protection of the grain camp is very in place, and Hefei is not far from Chaohu, if Chaohu is attacked, the Jiangdong army besieging Hefei can also immediately send a part of the men and horses to relieve the siege, although Zhang Liao led an army of 30,000, but it is almost impossible to make a detour to burn the grain camp of the Jiangdong Army in Chaohu Hubei

After entering Hefei City, Lu Xun has been thinking about the strategy of retreating from the enemy

However, the opponent outside the city is that Zhou Yu, how can he hide from him with his ordinary strategy

Although Lu Xun is extremely hostile to Jiangdong, he will never be blinded by hatred, Zhou Yu's ability is very clear to him, if the peerless wisdom that comes out once in decades is slightly underestimated by him, it is very likely to invite annihilation

If the Jiangdong army is willing, it will be difficult to block the reinforcements when they enter the city, and it will be difficult to successfully enter the city, but if the reinforcements are blocked outside the city, the pressure faced by the self-army when attacking the city will certainly not increase, but it is also necessary to guard against the harassment of the reinforcements at all times, but it is more troublesome to generously put the reinforcements into the city, and then wipe them out in the city in one fell swoop

Zhou Yu's wisdom can be seen

In the face of an opponent like Zhou Yu, you must be careful to deal with it, and you can't relax in the slightest

However, the current situation is really unfavorable, the Jiangdong Army has the advantage of forces, as long as it takes a dignified attack, no matter what strategy is implemented in the city, as long as the Jiangdong Army takes its own precautions and ignores the rest, then it will be difficult for the defenders in the city to deal with it

How to solve the current crisis, Lu Xun thought hard for a long time, but he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan

It's just that this plan is too dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you may lose Hefei City, not to mention the land of Huainan, and you may lose it to the enemy

At that time, the commander of the Jiangdong Army drove straight into Xuchang, and it would be in danger

But if this plan can be 100,000, the Jiangdong Army may be wiped out

Whether this plan can be implemented or not, Lu Xun is entangled in it

Forget it, anyway, he is just a staff officer, even if he comes up with a plan, it is Zhang Liao, Li Dian and other generals who make the final decision, as long as they report the plan they come up with, they will decide whether to adopt it or not

"Isn't this plan too dangerous......" After listening to Lu Xun's proposal, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Li Dian were silent for a long time before Li Dian asked

In fact, this is already a very vague statement, Lu Xun's strategy can hardly be described as dangerous, once it fails, it will almost be a catastrophe

“…… I think you can give it a try," the next speaker was Le Jin, "Anyway, it's a matter of time before Hefei is lost, it's better to gamble, maybe you can beat Sun Jianjun."

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, still thinking about the gains and losses

Lu Xun's strategy is undoubtedly very tempting, if it succeeds, even if the Eastern Wu Army does not talk about the destruction of the retreating army, Jiangdong is inevitable

But if this strategy fails, the consequences will be too serious, and his 40,000 people will end up with the annihilation of the whole army, not to mention, it is very likely that Xuchangcheng will face the attack of the Jiangdong army

However, what Le Jin said was right, the Jiangdong army was led by Zhou Yu, and the siege was very fierce, and the city defense equipment in Hefei was scarce, and the garrison was also insufficient, because of the enemy on three sides, Cao Cao would not have sent more reinforcements to Hefei, and there was no army to save outside, and there was no city to defend inside, if you continue to trap and defend the lonely city, it is inevitable that the city will be broken, and it is only a matter of time

At that time, Xuchang would still have to face the offensive of Sun Jian's army

If you want to repel Sun Jian's army, you can only rely on tricks

"I also agree with the implementation of Boyan's strategy," the plan in his heart has been decided, and Zhang Liao then spoke
