Chapter 397: Xuzhou is in danger!

"Uh... All right. ”

Lu Bu responded and said to Pei Yuanqing: "If you are asked to lead only one regiment and follow General Han to Yangping Pass, are you willing?" ”

"Huh? What about the Seventh Division? ”

Pei Yuanqing hesitated.

It's good to go to Yangpingguan, but you have to bring your own army, otherwise how can you make meritorious service?

Lu Bu replied: "The Seventh Division is temporarily handed over to General Song Xian to lead, and I will go to Langzhong to meet Liu Bei. After you conquer Yangping Pass and come to the Sword Pavilion to join the division, I will let General Song Xian return the seventh division to you. ”

"This..."

Pei Yuanqing was still hesitant.

Han Xin's eyes turned and he said with a smile: "General Pei and the lord went to Langzhong to face Liu Bei, and they may not have a chance to make meritorious contributions." Let's look at the lord's command, Mr. Wen Yuanzhi, General Li Cunxiao and General Li Yuanba, all of whom are famous generals. The First Army was used in tough battles, and artillery was used in ambush warfare. But your seventh division, which has nothing, can you make meritorious contributions? It's better to go to Yangpingguan with me, and I promise that as long as there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I will send you to the top. Keep you in Pingyang and deter Cao Liu. ”

"Good. Just by your words, I will go with you! ”

Pei Yuanqing responded excitedly.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Lu Bu immediately decided that Han Xin's first division would go to Yangping Pass to meet the enemy. Cut off Liu Bei's connection with Cao Ren. Pei Yuanqing's Seventh Division, temporarily led by Song Xian, with only one regiment of troops, went with Han Xin.

Xu Shu couldn't persuade Lu Bu when he saw it, and he didn't bother to persuade him again.

The strategy of marching into Sichuan and Shu was decided hastily.

...................

At this time in Xuzhou, Fan Lihua was in a hurry. Because in the past few days, she has received reports one after another, and there are several ways of Yuan Jun approaching. Yanzhou, which is behind him, also seems to have taken action, making Xuzhou, which is already in danger, even more dangerous.

She passed down letters and recalled the generals who were away.

Assassin in the house.

Fan Lihua made a sand table and placed it in the center.

When the generals at all levels arrived, they said, "All the generals are fortunate, so sit down." ”

"General Xie Fan."

The crowd did not take their seats, but gathered around the sand table.

Fan Lihua said: "The situation of the enemy and us is already obvious. Yuan Shao sent a three-way army as the vanguard of the attack on Xu. Among them, the most effective was Xu You's 20,000 crossbowmen. followed by Yuan Tan's 10,000 elite cavalry, which was less than 20 miles away from the 20,000 crossbowmen. Mutual assistance has been formed. There is only a third way.... ”

Speaking of this, Fan Lihua pointed to a mountain range on the sand table and said: "This way the Yuan army, the strength is less than 5,000, and the general who leads the army is Yuan Tan's general.... ”

"You may not know the ruler yet. He was once the general of the Beihai Taishou Kong Rong. After Kong Rong perished, he swore not to surrender and was almost beheaded by Yuan Tan. However, Yuan Tan's advisor Wang Xiu advised, saying that Guan Tong was a rare loyal and righteous man, strong in martial arts, and extremely good at commanding troops, so he should be recruited. Yuan Tan visited every day and finally won the allegiance of the ruler. ”

"What I'm trying to say is... Guan Tong was the general that Yuan Tan relied on the most. How could it be possible to lead only 5,000 soldiers and horses and open the way in front? It must be a ploy of Xu Yu to lure us into attacking the system.... ”

For Fan Lihua's speculation, all the generals agreed.

Qi Jiguang said: "This is called Guantong, and he is too bold. Even if he can lure our army, he will be encircled. Didn't you have the heart of death? ”

"Loyal ministers and good generals are generally not afraid of death." Fan Lihua said with a smile.

"He wants to be a loyal servant. Shall we fulfill him? ”

Yue Fei's eyes stared directly at the sand table, as if he already had a strategy to defend against the enemy.

Fan Lihua glanced at him and said, "It's just that the three-way vanguard army that defeated Yuan Tan, the action is too small, I'm not interested." If you want to fight, put more troops of Yuan Tan in and eat them in one bite. ”

As long as Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses, Yuan Shao would hesitate and dare not cross the Yellow River eastward. Cao Cao will also be much more at ease. ”

"Uh..."

Yue Fei didn't expect that Fan Lihua's appetite was so big that he wanted to eat Yuan Tan in one bite. You must know that Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army has more than 200,000 and is equipped with extremely strong crossbow arrows. It is a force to be reckoned with.

"But the question is... How to hit Yuan Tan hard? Yue Fei asked.

"I'm thinking, too..."

Fan Lihua didn't pay attention.

"Since General Fan has no strategy to defend against the enemy, you might as well listen to the last general and eliminate his three-way vanguard first." Yue Fei walked to the other side of the sand table, pointed to Linlang County, and said, "The terrain of Linlang County is relatively open, which is not conducive to setting up ambushes. But it is conducive to the gallop of our army's war horses. I have 20,000 light cavalry, 4,000 heavy cavalry, plus 5,000 newly built chariots, equipped with three bows and crossbows, which are enough to destroy Yuan Tan's vanguard. ”

"Send 10,000 light cavalry first to confront Yuan Tan's light cavalry. Surrounded but not fighting, fighting but not fighting, forcing the other two Yuan troops to rush to help. Then send heavy troops to intercept it, surround and annihilate it. ”

"As long as the battle is over within two days, Yuan Tan's main force will not be able to catch up...."

After listening to Yue Fei's strategy, Qi Jiguang disagreed: "The general is too careful. Eliminate Yuan Tan's three-way pioneers, why do you need these means? The last general only leads the headquarters, and he can make contributions. ”

"How many times have I told you, fight steadily!"

Yue Fei reprimanded.

(Note: According to the memories implanted in the system, Yue Fei is Qi Jiguang's master.) And Qi Jiguang respected Yue Fei very much, because he was often taught, and he didn't dare to fight back. )

"Yes."

Qi Jiguang was like a castrated ball, and he retreated.

"You two masters and apprentices... Ignore my words, right? Fan Lihua's eyebrows rose slightly: "The enemy clearly wants to lure my main force, and then encircle and annihilate it." Such a great opportunity, how can you miss it? ”

"But the general doesn't have a way to defend against the enemy..."

"I don't have a plan, I want to plan."

Fan Lihua said very seriously: "We must seize this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Yuan Tan." Only in this way can Yuan Shao and Cao Cao be shocked. Otherwise, not only will it not be able to hit the enemy, but it will also make Yuan Shao's army cross the Yellow River more quickly. ”

Fan Lihua's intentions are already obvious.

It is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger and scare Yuan Shao away.

"I want to put Xuzhou... For the time being, it is divided into three parts. To the north of Xiapi, from the border of Linlang County to the border of Beihai, it was set up as the first war zone. We were there to defend against Yuan Shao. To the west, Pengchengguo and Donghai County have always been the focus of Cao Cao's attacks. We set these two counties as the second war zone and stationed them with heavy troops. The remaining counties, including the county's subordinate Pi, were set up as safe zones. The people can temporarily go to the safe area to avoid trouble, and when we have repelled Yuan Shao, it is not too late to go back. And also... Our paper mills, furniture factories, banks, etc., must be evacuated to safe areas, so that these things will not hinder us from defending against the enemy. ”

"General rest assured, his subordinates have made arrangements."

At the end of the seat, a scribe (Xuzhou Thorn Shi Meng Gongwei) greeted Fan Lihua.

Meng Gongwei is Jing Xiang Junjie, who was forcibly tied back to Yangzhou by Lu Bu, and after several years of captivity, he finally put down his body and became an official. At first, he was the Taishou of Wu County, and later served in Xuzhou.
