"Cao Cao really can't wait..."

Lu Bu's heart was also a little shaken. As it stands, it looks like a full-scale war is about to be. He did not dispatch troops to defend against the enemy, and went to Yuzhang County to hang around. If Cao Cao did not agree to the truce and insisted on entering Yangzhou, wouldn't he miss the opportunity?

"The lord should not be deceived by appearances. The Yuzhou army was not enough to attack Jingzhou. Han Xin said.

"Are you really sure that Cao Cao won't go to war against me?"

"Yes. As for whether there will be war against us after the bluff, it depends on the change of events. Han Xin said.

"Okay, I'll believe you for once!"

Lu Bu replied to the soldier who came to report the news: "You go and tell Chen Gong that the soldiers and horses of various states and counties must not be taken lightly. When I return from Yuzhang County, I will design to retreat from the enemy. ”

"No."

Lü Bu and Han Xin's convoy drove out of Shouchun and headed for Yuzhang County.

From Shouchun to Nanchang, the seat of Yuzhang County, there are hundreds of miles. It took seven days on foot, three days for cavalry.

But Lu Bu and Han Xin only need two days!

Because the Institute of Science and Technology has already transformed more than 500 trucks. All of them were replaced with rubber tires, and the steam engine was also large, which could run 300 miles in one go, add water once, and run another 300 miles.

The roads in Yangzhou have also been renovated for many years and are surprisingly smooth.

All the way unhindered, straight to Nanchang.

Inside the county warden's house.

Gao Shun was still worried about resisting Cao Cao.

Lu Bu, Han Xin, and Li Yuanba came to the lobby.

Gao Shun greeted him in surprise and said, "Lord, generals..... You're finally here. ”

"How's it going? Did Cao Cao show any signs of invading Yuzhang County? Lu Bu sat down and asked.

"Not yet."

"Then what are you anxious about?"

Gao Shun hugged his fists and said: "Although Cao Cao did not attack, he trained soldiers and horses on my border, and he was frequently mobilized, and he could fight at any time." The last general and major general, I'm afraid that he is not an opponent, how can he not be in a hurry. ”

Han Xin also sat aside and said with a smile: "General Gao doesn't have to worry. Cao Cao was just bluffing, and he would not really invade Yuzhang County. ”

"My lord, who is this...?"

Gao Shun didn't know Han Xin.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "He is Han Xin." ”

Han Xin's name has already spread in the sea. Gao Shun is also thunderous, but he hasn't seen it with his own eyes.

After listening to Lu Bu's introduction, Gao Shun smiled and hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be General Han Xin." I've heard of your name a long time ago, the battle of Yizhou, the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of enemies, it can really be described as swallowing mountains and rivers. ”

"Awards, awards... This is all the credit of the lord. "Han Xin is a smart general, knowing that Lu Bu is present, how dare he take that credit.

"Sit down. Let's have a good discussion. Lu Bu pressed his hand towards everyone.

"Yes."

After everyone was seated.

Lu Budao: "In the past few days, I have received continuous news. First, Cao Cao led an army of 400,000 and arrived in Yuzhang County. and then increased Xu Huang's troops by 50,000, as if to capture Xuzhou. In addition, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, which are under the control of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, moving to the southeast, and it is also possible to attack our Jingzhou. General Han said that it was Cao Cao bluffing. There will be no real offense. What does General Gao think? ”

Gao Shun said: "The last general thinks... Whether Cao Cao really wants to attack us or not, we should be ready to fight. It's always good to be prepared. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "You just fight safely, and you don't want to take the slightest risk." But... Now, however, I prefer to believe General Hanshin's words. Because Cao Cao has been on the border of Yuzhang County for a long time, he has not made any moves. It didn't look like a war, and it didn't fit his usual style. Fighting a war is about one full breath, then declining, and three exhaustion. If Cao Cao didn't do anything again, his military spirit would be shaken. The amount of money and food spent is immeasurable. ”

"That's what the lord said." Han Xin said: "The last general always firmly believes that Cao Cao will not really do it. ”

"So here's the problem. What does Cao Cao want to do? What is the purpose of his hundreds of thousands of troops, tossing back and forth? Lu Bu asked, "Does General Han know?" ”

"This..."

Han Xin thought about it for a while and said, "The last general has a suggestion, which can solve the doubts of the lord." ”

"Tell me about it."

Han Xin said: "We came this time, there are more than 30,000 new troops, equipped with 600,000 rounds of ammunition and 50,000 grenades. There were also three artillery regiments, fifteen thousand shells. It's better to beat Cao Cao and see what his reaction is. If, after being attacked by us, he retreats to Xudu, it means that he does not really want to go to war with us. If he resists stubbornly, it means that he has been prepared and will attack Yangzhou. Then we'll have to hurry up and get ready for war. As for his purpose... I think after the war, it will be clear. ”

"Well, you have a good idea. However, our new army has limited ammunition and cannot be wasted. Or Gao Shun's 50,000 troops went to test it. Lu Budao.

"Yes."

Gao Shun nodded.

But looking at his expression, he didn't seem to agree with Han Xin's strategy.

"General Gao's troops are a strong force, but... Cao Cao had an army of 400,000. If he stubbornly resists and goes to war with us, General Gao's 50,000 soldiers and horses will be in danger. If you enter the camp, it is difficult to quit. Han Xin said.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bu was not worried about this: "When the time comes, you will send your new army to respond, and you can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Yes."

Han Xin and Gao Shun both nodded.

Next.

In order to find out Cao Cao's true intentions, Gao Shun mobilized 40,000 elites, including his 3,000 camp. Approaching Cao Cao's camp. Lü Bu and Han Xin also led the New Army and the Long Wei Army as Gao Shun's backups.

Arrive at the front line in the evening.

The armies were encamped.

Lu Bu called Gao Shun and said, "Let the soldiers rest." After nightfall, the battle can begin. To play with momentum and deal a heavy blow to Cao Cao! I want to see how strong Cao Cao's troops are after a few years of recuperation. ”

"My lord, why don't you attack at the fourth watch, that is when the enemy is the most relaxed." Gao Shundao.

Cao Cao thought the same thing. Lu Bu replied.

"This..." Gao Shun circled his head.

Lu Budao: "Cao Cao is different from Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. He has always used his troops in a strange and unconventional way, and has always done the opposite. If we follow the rules and fight according to the art of war, it is easy to be fooled. So, we need to be more unconventional than he is. ”

"As soon as it was dark, we attacked. The enemy at that time, although he did not sleep, had absolutely no ambush. If I go again during the fourth watch, I can guarantee that Cao's camp is full of ambushes. ”

"The lord is wise!"

Gao Shun suddenly realized, with a look of admiration.

Lu Bu's words benefited him a lot.
