"Fifteen days later, there will be a southeast wind? Can you see that, too? Lu Bu's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he said in his heart: "This is even more powerful than the meteorological observatory." ”

"Although I dare not say it, I am proficient in astronomy and geography, but I still know a little. Please rest assured, in 15 days, the southeast wind will rise! The fire took advantage of the wind and blew from the southeast to the northwest, which could burn Cao Cao's army ambushed in Pingshan, and the lord could easily cross the natural danger of Pingshan and take Cao's army camp directly. ”

Lu Bu stood up and stared at the map.

Cao Cao's camp is located behind the side of Pingshan, next to the Huai River. Pingshan can be used as a natural hazard, and the Huai River is enough for the army to drink. Geographically, it is impeccable. Only Pingshan, with high terrain and many jungles, will be out of control once a fire breaks out.

Liu Bowen's strategy grasped the key point at once!

But Lu Bu still couldn't believe that Liu Bowen could see the weather conditions after 15 days.

"Berwyn, are you sure that in fifteen days, there will be a southeast wind? If not, no matter how much oil I use, it won't be enough to burn down Pingshan. It is even more impossible to break through the Cao army camp, which will cause difficulties for our troops in other places. ”

"The lord can rest assured, he dares to use the head guarantee of the item!"

"Okay, I agree with your plan!" Lu Bu thought to himself, Zhuge Liang can still borrow the east wind, where is Liu Bowen's fault? As a strategist on the same level as Zhuge Liang, it is not unusual to be able to see the weather conditions after fifteen days.

"I will mobilize a large army tomorrow and go to Huainan. Let's go with you, sir. ”

"No."

After the decision was made, Lu Bu asked the soldiers of all departments to prepare for the battle.

At noon the next day, except for Zang Ba's army, they all rushed to Huainan.

Lü Bu appointed Gao Shun as the general of the vanguard battalion, responsible for commanding the vanguard battalion, trapping the camp, joining forces with Luo Cheng, and feintting to attack Hefei.

Ordered the deputy general Hou Cheng to lead 1,000 troops to Shilipo.

Zhang Liao led his troops and horses to Ping'a County to garrison.

At this point, there were not many troops around Lu Bu, and the total number of Li Yuanba, Zhang Feng's Long Wei Army, and Xiang Yu's broken military camp was less than 6,000. It is really worrying to use such a small number of troops to break through the Cao army camp.

On this day, Lü Bu led his army to the north of Shouchun City and set up camp.

Lu Bu called Liu Bowen over, looked at the map, and said: "From here to Pingshan, there are only one hundred and seventy miles, and the Dragon Guard Army and the broken military camp are all fast cavalry, and they can be reached in one day at most." That is, thirteen days later, I went to Pingshan. ”

Immediately, Lu Bu was a little worried: "Berwyn, are you really sure that after thirteen days, there will be a southeast wind?" ”

"Since the lord has led his army here, it means that he has already believed in Berwyn, so why bother asking?"

"Hmm."

Lu Bu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Bowen said: "The lord can rest assured, with the courage of Yuanba and Xiang Yu, and the elite of the broken military camp and the Dragon Guard, he will definitely be able to break through the Cao army camp." Cao Cao's only way out was to flee to Lujiang County. It's a pity that the lord's troops are too small, and if he can also set up an ambush in Lujiang County, Cao Cao will not be able to escape. ”

"I hope the gentleman will be like God."

Lu Bu smiled, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Two days later, Gao Shun and Luo Chengbing came to Hefei and launched an attack on the 130,000 family private soldiers.

Hefei City, is a very ancient city, north of the Jianghuai, south of Chaohu Lake, west of Dabie Mountain, east of Chushui, geographical location is very important, but also the economic and trade center of Yangzhou.

Historically, Dongwu and Cao Wei have robbed this place many times, turning the cities around Hefei into ruins.

Especially in 215 AD, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to meet Sun Quan's 100,000 army and rushed to Sun Quan's royal banner, which made Sun Quan frightened. Later, with 7,000 people, Sun Quan's 100,000 army was destroyed and Sun Quan was almost captured alive.

After this battle, Zhang Liao shook Jiangdong and became famous.

But this time in the Hefei offensive and defensive battle, there was no Zhang Liao and no Sun Quan, but the Yangzhou clan, and Gao Shun and Luo Cheng were opposed.

Due to the war in Jian'an, Danyang, and Lujiang counties, the family suffered huge losses, and the private soldiers of the family stationed in Hefei were very afraid of Lu Bu's army, and when they saw the arrival of Gao Shun and Luo Cheng, they decided to stick to it without fighting.

Luo Cheng offered a plan to garrison the vanguard battalion thirty miles away, and only brought the trap camp and the 6,000 cavalry of the headquarters to Hefei to challenge.

Gao Shun agreed to Luo Cheng's strategy.

The two led their troops to the road.

As soon as the families saw that there were not many enemies, they went out of the city to meet them.

The two armies fought outside the city for a day and a night, and the family's private soldiers were defeated and retreated to Hefei City.

A few days later, Zhang Xun received letters from various families asking for help.

"Please tell the heads of the families, and I will go with an army of 50,000 and let them hold on a little longer." Zhang Xun looked at the messenger who sent the letter and said.

"Thank you, General." The messenger departed.

Zhang Xun tore up the letter and left the matter of sending troops behind.

The next day, another letter arrived in Cao Ying.

Cao Cao received the report and was anxious.

"Hefei is besieged today, how to save it?"

"Zhang Xun can be adjusted." Guo Jia suggested.

"Well, quickly order Zhang Xun to go to Hefei to relieve the siege." This order, the fast horse sent to Chengde, Zhang Xun can no longer shirk, after hesitating for a long time, personally led an army of 50,000 to Hefei.

However, when he passed by Shilipo, he saw that the dust was rising behind Shilipo and the flag was waving.

"General, it seems to be Xiang Yu's broken military camp." A young general stepped forward and reported to Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun frowned: "Xiang Yu is brave and unmatched, breaking the name of the military camp and shocking Huainan, how can I be the enemy?" ”

Immediately, he retreated five miles and was stationed on standby.

Zhang Xun came to report that Xiang Yu set up an ambush on Shilipo to stop him from advancing. What do you have to do? In the camp of the Cao army, Cao Cao read the letter sent by Zhang Xun and asked everyone.

"The heads of the families have just joined us, if we don't help, I'm afraid of losing the heart of the family, since Zhang Xun can't go, Cheng is quite close to him." Cheng Yu said.

"Zhongde is reasonable, although the families are defeated, there are still seventy or eighty thousand private soldiers, and they must be saved." Xu Huang said.

Cao Cao ignored Cheng Yu and Xu Huang, and set his eyes on Guo Jia.

It can be seen that in Cao Cao's mind, Guo Jia's strategy is still the standard, and other people's strategies can only be used as a reference.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "When Lu Bu first entered Yangzhou, there were only 50,000 horse infantry troops of Zhang Liao and Luo Cheng, as well as Gao Shun's trapped camp, Xiang Yu's broken military camp, and now there is another vanguard battalion. The number of troops is about 100,000. In the current attack on Hefei, only the vanguard battalion, the trapped camp, and Luo Cheng's army appeared. The situation is unclear and it is not appropriate to send troops. The prime minister might as well wait and see for a while. ”

"Feng Xiao is too worried, Xiang Yu's broken military camp has appeared in Shilipo, and there is only Zhang Liao left, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and he understood Guo Jia's thoughts, Guo Jia was worried that Lu Bu would besiege the city and send reinforcements. If he led a large army to rescue Hefei, he would most likely be ambushed.

"Zhongde, sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true, let alone the battle report sent by Zhang Xun, can you believe it? He said that Xiang Yu is in Shilipo, Xiang Yu must be in Shilipo? Don't forget, Xiang Yu once single-handedly entered Shouchun, fought against Yuan Shu's army of 300,000, and was not injured at all, and disdained to ambush Zhang Xun at all because of Xiang Yu's ability. If I'm guessing correctly, Shilipo must be a suspicious army. ”

If Lu Bu and Liu Bowen were here, they would definitely be surprised that Guo Jia actually told the truth.
