Chapter 119: Two Strategies

Lu Bu is on the map and finds Anshan and Jincheng.

"These two places are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and few people regard them as strategic locations, but they are located in the southeast of Lujiang County, one guards the official road, and the other cuts off the connection between Huainan County and the south of Lujiang, which is very important to Cao Cao!"

Liu Bowen explained, but he still didn't explain it clearly.

The generals were ignorant of this.

Lu Budao: "What the military advisor means is that as long as our army storms Anshan and Jincheng, Cao Cao will understand that we want to close the door and fight the dogs, and trap his 80,000 elites in Huainan." ”

"The lord is wise, and this is exactly what he means." Liu Bowen nodded.

"But in terms of Cao Cao's strength, he won't be scared to leave Huainan, right?" Chen Gong was a little unconvinced.

"The last general also thinks that it is unlikely."

"After Cao Cao relieves the siege of Hefei, he should bring the private soldiers of the Hefei family to fight a decisive battle with us." Xiang Yu said.

"We have thousands of soldiers and horses in our hands, and if Cao Cao really comes, it will be a little troublesome." Zhang Feng looked worried.

"Generals, why do you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?" Liu Bowen said slowly: "Since the Battle of Pingshan, the situation in Huainan has changed again. Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry was wiped out, and his strength was greatly damaged. The family private soldiers in Hefei were fiercely attacked by Gao Shun and Luo Cheng, and suffered heavy casualties. In addition, the Pingshan camp was captured by our army, and the grain and grass were lost, did Cao Cao have any other choice but to withdraw his troops? ”

When the words fell, Zhang Feng suddenly said, "Why didn't I think of it." Cao Cao's grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment were all lost, and even if the soldiers were in Shouchun, it would be useless. ”

Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Xiang Yu all nodded after him.

"Newspaper... Hefei urgent! At this moment, a soldier ran into the military tent and handed a secret letter to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu opened it and took a look, his brows furrowed.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Chen Gong asked worriedly.

"Gao Shun and Luo Cheng did not obey the order, and the letter said that they must capture Hefei before Cao Cao's army arrives in Hefei." Lu Bu handed the secret letter to Chen Gong.

"What a bold act to openly disobey military orders!" Lu Bu looked slightly angry.

"The lord is angry, maybe the family private soldiers stationed in Hefei are really about to be unstoppable. It would not be a good thing if Gao Shun and General Luo Cheng could occupy Hefei before Cao Cao arrived in Hefei. Chen Gong said.

"What's a good thing? Who will attack them when they capture Hefei, Anshan and Jincheng? Didn't the plan we just made fall through? ”

The atmosphere inside the tent was a little gloomy. Lu Bu was like eating gunpowder, just a little bit. Only Liu Bowen still looked confident, as if he had already guessed that Gao Shun and Luo Cheng would disobey the order.

"Berwyn, why aren't you in a hurry?" Lu Bu asked.

Liu Bowen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have a second plan, which can make Cao Cao return to Yanzhou immediately." ”

"Oh? There is such a good plan, why didn't the gentleman say it earlier. Lu Bu turned his anger into joy.

Chen Gong and Xiang Yu are also very much looking forward to it.

Liu Bowen said: "Humble conjecture, Gao Shun and General Luo Cheng would rather disobey the military order than insist on attacking Hefei, which shows that they have a certain degree of certainty." When Cao Cao's soldiers came to the city, most of Hefei City was already in the hands of the two of them. ”

At this time, Cao Cao had two choices. Either a decisive battle with our army and the recapture of grain, grass, and equipment. Either move closer to Chengde, rely on Zhang Xun, and entangle with our army. The lord can send someone to Chengde, saying that Zhang Xun will be demoted.... ”

"Will Zhang Xun surrender?" Chen Gong asked.

Before Liu Bowen could speak, Lu Bu laughed: "Zhang Xun will definitely surrender!" ”

"Why is the lord so sure?"

Lu Budao: "Mr. Gongtai doesn't know anything. When we were engaged in the battle with the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhang Xun stood by and withdrew his troops without authorization, which led to the total annihilation of the tiger and leopard cavalry. He has completely offended Cao Cao now, and he doesn't dare to go back to Yuan Shu, is there any other way out except to take refuge in us? ”

Chen Gong said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for?" The humble post asked for orders to go to Chengde and said that Zhang Xun was demoted. ”

Lu Bu nodded, ready to send Chen Gong there.

"Mr. Gongtai, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this task." Liu Bowen did not agree.

"Berwyn, you won't even take this little credit from me, will you?" Chen Gong was not happy. Since Liu Bowen came, his status has plummeted, and even the generals in the army only know that there is Liu Bowen, but they don't know that there is Chen Gong. is also a military division, why is the gap so big.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Gongtai, I mean, there is someone more suitable than you."

Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "I understand, this person who is more suitable than me is you, right?" ”

"It's not."

"Who's that?"

Liu Bowen looked at Xiang Yu and said, "General Xiang is the most suitable to go to Chengde. And this time I went to Chengde, not only to demote Zhang Xun, but also to urge Zhang Xun to ambush Cao Cao, who threw himself into the net. ”

Hearing this, all the generals understood.

Liu Bowen's strategy is really interlocking.

"Rest assured, the last general will definitely defeat Cao Cao!" Xiang Yu assured.

Lu Bu smiled and asked, "Then next, do you still have to send people to Yuzhang County, set up an ambush, and wait for Cao Cao's army to be defeated, and then fall into the well?" ”

"The Lord is wise. General Zhang Liao can be sent there. ”

"Well, Berwyn's plan is seamless!"

Lu Bu was very satisfied and said, "The second plan is better than the first one. Berwyn, you were worried that Gao Shun and Luo Cheng would not be able to attack Hefei, so they wanted to attack Anshan and Jincheng instead and scare Cao Cao away, right? ”

"Yes. But he didn't expect that Gao Shun and General Luo Cheng would make a desperate bet. ”

"Come on, you've thought of it a long time ago, otherwise there wouldn't be a second plan." Lu Bu was sitting precariously and glanced at Liu Bowen.

"You all understand. After Zhang Liao returned to the camp, he performed his own duties, ready to give Cao Cao a little powerful look. It's best if you can slaughter him, but if you can't, you have to hit him hard. ”

"No."

Chen Gong was still sulking.

Lu Bu asked everyone to retreat and persuaded: "Mr. Gongtai, what Berwyn means is to use Xiang Yu's power to shock Zhang Xun, and at the same time urge Zhang Xun to ambush Cao Cao. If you change it, it's really not appropriate. ”

"Humble knows."

"After Zhang Liao returns to the camp, you and Zhang Liao will go to Yuzhang County together. I hope you will build a great achievement. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Chen Gong was stunned, stood up, and made a gesture towards Lu Bu.

Imagine, if Cao Cao went to Chengde and was not killed by Xiang Yu, then the Qingzhou army would also suffer heavy casualties, and when he fled to Yuzhang County, his opportunity would come. Maybe he can really kill Cao Cao and establish a great achievement.
