Chapter 468: Xu Shu's plan to surrender

Li Jing's 2nd Division, Yang Lin's 5th Division, and Pei Yuanqing's 7th Division had just over 30,000 people. Interspersed behind enemy lines, it is a force to be reckoned with. In particular, Yang Lin's department retained 13,000 strong crossbows and a lot of arrows. It will definitely be able to attract most of Zhuge Liang's troops.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Okay." Since everyone agrees, let's do it. However, you can't go until Zhuge Liang intends to lure the enemy. Interspersed behind enemy lines, don't think about how many Shu troops you will annihilate, find a way to drag them down and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield. ”

"No"

The three of them answered with joy.

But I thought in my heart, when I got behind the enemy, I would turn him upside down first.

"Yuan Zhi."

"Yes."

Lu Bu lifted the sand table in front of him and said with a smile: "You are a military advisor, you should have your own ideas." What do you think about the battle of Guanghan County? What kind of strategy should I use to defeat Zhuge Liang? ”

Xu Shu hugged his fists and said: "The minister has already said just now, first retreat to Jiameng Pass to garrison." Wait for Zhuge Liang to attack and consume his troops. As long as we can hold out until mid-March, when our artillery arrives, it will be the time to break the enemy. ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The battle situation in the Central Plains is unknown, and I am anxious to return to help. How can you wait until mid-March? In addition to retreating to Jiameng Pass and consuming Zhuge Liang's troops, do you have any other strategies? ”

"Yes."

"Oh? Tell me about it? Lu Bu just asked casually, but he didn't expect Xu Shu to really have a plan.

"Yes."

Xu Shu walked out of the queue and said eloquently: "We should all know that General Zhang Ren's wife and children are all in Chengdu, and it is very likely that he will defect."

"Master Xu, I'll cough up." Zhang Ren was at the back of the queue, and when he heard Xu Shu's words, he hurriedly stood up in fright. But because the injury did not heal, he almost fell.

Xu Shu looked embarrassed, and changed his words: "General Zhang doesn't have to be afraid, it's me who is quick to talk and say the wrong thing." I mean Zhuge Liang would think so. This creates an opportunity for us to surrender. ”

"Surrender?"

Zhang Ren's eyes lit up, but he immediately shook his head and said, "The military advisor doesn't know." The last time I fought against Zhuge Liang in Jiameng Pass. Zhuge Liang once persuaded me to surrender to Liu Bei, and he didn't care about his previous mistakes. But I sternly refused. Therefore, I lost the Jiameng Pass. Now if I surrender again, will he believe it? ”

Xu Shu smiled: "This time, that time." The last time you rejected him, it was because our army was strong and had already captured Jiameng Pass. But now it's different, he has an army of a million and is strong. And we have run out of ammunition and food, changed from offensive to defensive, and have even been forced to reorganize the new army. In such an unfavorable situation, he will believe you at least sixty percent. You give him a few more pieces of information to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

Zhang Ren looked at Lu Bu and wanted to see what Lu Bu meant.

"Yuan Zhi, what is the point of your strategy? What should Zhang Ren do after he surrenders? Lu Bu asked a very crucial question.

Xu Shu replied: "It's very simple. Zhuge Liang has always been delicate and extremely guarded, even if he agreed to Zhang Ren's surrender, he did not dare to sneak attack my camp. I'm not going to give him that chance either. The focus of this plan is that Zhang Ren defected and was hunted down by our army. He only led less than 5,000 remnants of the army and fled to the Shu army camp. After that, he joined me inside and outside and captured Zhuge Liang. I must make it clear that the 5,000 people who fled to the Shu army camp must be carefully selected, and every soldier must have been in the army for more than five years and have rich combat experience. It would be great if Yuanba and Cunxiao could be hidden in the army. The merit of the miraculous soldier is better than the heavy soldier, and Zhuge Liang will undoubtedly be defeated. ”

Xu Shu's strategy was much more clever than Li Jing's battle behind enemy lines.

Han Xin sincerely admired: "Sir is worthy of being a staff officer of the Military Aircraft Department, with far-reaching strategies, unpredictable fiction and reality, and directly hitting the enemy's vital points. Presumably, no matter how much Zhuge Liang is psychiatric, he may not be able to detect it. ”

Li Jing also stood up and patted his ass: "Even if we detect it, we won't think that the focus of our attack is in his camp." The 5,000 remnants of the army became his fatal disaster. ”

Lu Bu's gaze moved to Zhang Ren. Seeing that Zhang Ren's face was a little pale, he said with concern: "How is General Zhang's injury?" ”

Zhang Ren is a smart person, and as soon as he heard Lu Bu's words, he knew that Lu Bu was ready to let him surrender. Zhang Ren replied: "My lord, a little injury has already healed." ”

"Are you willing to take the risk and surrender?"

"The last general is willing."

Zhang Ren agreed without even thinking about it.

He was worried that he had no chance to make meritorious contributions, but Xu Shu's strategy just gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Okay, I'll prepare five thousand elites for you, and then you will lead them to Zhuge Liang's camp. However, before that, we must first implement General Li's plan and draw away part of Zhuge Liang's troops, so that it will be easier to implement. ”

"No."

About two hundred miles south of LΓΌ Bu's camp, five large camps were set up.

Among them, the big camp at the official road entrance is Zhuge Liang's Chinese army camp, which is guarded by Zhuge Liang himself.

After setting up the camp, Zhuge Liang couldn't wait to dispatch his troops.

In the tent.

There were more than two dozen generals standing.

Zhuge Liang said: "A few days ago, I received news that the artillery and baggage transported from Jingzhou have resisted Langzhong and will be sent to Jiameng Pass in mid-March. At that time, Lu Bu's new army will be supplied, and it will be a hundred times more difficult for us to win. Therefore, I decided to take the initiative to recapture Jiameng Pass. That's what we're here for. ”

"Cloud Chief."

"Yes."

Guan Yu stood up.

Zhuge Liang said: "I will give you 100,000 soldiers and horses, under my banner, and raise troops tomorrow to attack the camp of Lu Bu." After the defeat, he lured the enemy to the area around Busan. ”

"No."

As soon as Zhuge Liang's order came out, Guan Yu already knew Zhuge Liang's intentions. It is nothing more than luring the enemy deep and encircling it with heavy troops. This kind of trick is not once or twice. However, letting him, a general of the Chinese army, do something to lure the enemy, instead of ambushing, made Guan Yu a little unhappy.

"Liu Feng, Meng Da."

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang said: "I will also give you 100,000 soldiers and horses." Liu Feng was the main general, and Meng Da was the supervising army. You set up your formation along the northwestern official road of Gwanghan-gun until you reached the foot of Busan. Don't let an enemy go! ”

"No."

Liu Feng is Liu Bei's righteous son, and he is also half of the emperor's relatives, and he is in charge of the army, and Meng Da has nothing to say.

After arranging.

Zhuge Liang sat down with a solemn face and sighed: "In order to resist Lu Bu, the people of Shu have paid a painful price. I hope that Heaven will have mercy on me and help me repel strong enemies."

"Are you still worried, sir?" Guan Yu asked.

He remembered that in the past, when he was in Jingzhou, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. Zhuge Liang at that time, how arrogant and confident he was, as if a feather fan could calm the country. And now Zhuge Liang, after many battles with Lu Bu, has lost his spirit. Every time you face the enemy, you are cautious, for fear of falling into the plan.
