Chapter 199: Jingjing Pass

"Very good."

Lu Bu didn't know when, but he also put his hand on the neatly groomed short beard, "If you march from Xihe and send a division to help Yanmen, you will definitely be able to break the beard on both roads." It's just that I'm afraid that if our army takes you, Jinyang will be empty, and what if the Yuan and Cao families come to attack? ”

Conquering you, Lu Bu naturally didn't worry. Not to mention that Su You has not unified the Southern Xiongnu at this time, even if he unifies the Southern Xiongnu, he will never be his opponent! This era is the era of a Han and a five-hu. What Lu Bu was really worried about was that he led the army to conquer Su You, but if Yuan Cao and the others had their thoughts on Jin Yang, I am afraid that there would be many accidents.

The struggle for hegemony between the princes is cruel. Lu Bu would not expect Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to attack him because of his conquest of Xu You. The princes of all sides are naturally a little strong externally, but they are not so kind as to see you fighting abroad and not taking the opportunity to defeat you.

Jinyang is empty, I am afraid that Yuan Cao will take advantage of it. Those who say that they are unkind and immoral can only be said to be too naΓ―ve. The war between the princes is an unrighteous war, where will we talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?

"If Yuan Shao comes to attack, he will inevitably take the well and take Jinyang with the well and go straight to Jinyang! The lord can send a general to guard the Jingjing Pass and stop Yuan's army ......"

Xu Shu spoke, ""Lu's Spring and Autumn Period" called it, Jiuzhai in the world, one of the wells. If Yuan Jun wants to attack my Jinyang, he is bound to open up this well path. Controlling the well path is the key to my conquest of the state and Hebei. In contrast, the terrain of our state is high, while Hebei is located in the plains. It is easier for me to cross the well path and go east to Taihang, and attack Hebei. However, if Hebei attacks our state, it will be difficult to attack our state against the well...... Jingjing Pass, and for the dangerous pass, send a general to guard it, which can resist three times the enemy......"

The geographical location of the state is extremely important. And the eight paths of Taihang are famous all over the world. It is an important throat channel connecting the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan. With these eight paths, the state can really be regarded as offensive and defensible.

"Good!"

Lu Bu still kept smiling.

It seems that he has received encouragement from Lu Bu, which made Xu Shu's voice a little louder, "Last year, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought endlessly, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties. In Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan sent Tian Kai to still fight with Yuan Tan. I expect that even if Yuan Shao wants to attack my state, he will only send one general to attack, so he is not afraid! ”

"Oh?"

Lu Bu frowned, this kind of psychological struggle is also extremely difficult to determine. Because you don't know what your opponent thinks! And if you make a mistake in judgment, you are likely to pay a great price. Glancing at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes, "If it is based on the usual theory, my annexation is naturally not more important than Gongsun Zhan, and there is no need for Yuan Shao to personally conquer." However, the old man thinks that things are definitely not based on common sense, and now that Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zhan and shocked Hebei, there are even more advisers such as Tian Fengfeng and Ji Guotu, which must not be underestimated. If they fight with a large army, how can I refuse it? If I am a partial, how can I refuse it? With these two points in mind, the lord can be invincible. ”

"Whew."

Wei Yue couldn't help it, they couldn't understand what Jia Xu and these people said, but they also faintly understood the importance of this Jingjing Pass, and got up and asked Lu Bu to fight: "Lord, please let me lead three thousand elites in this Jingjing Pass, I, Wei Yue, will definitely be able to reject tens of thousands of Yuan troops......"

Seeing Wei Yue's invitation to fight, Cheng Lian also spoke, "I am willing to fly with Chengfei and defend the Jingjing Pass together." ”

"Sit down!"

Lu Bu scolded.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue sat down, Jia Xu looked at the two of them, and smiled, "The two generals are brave, and the old man knows." It's just that if the two generals are given 5,000 elite soldiers, how long can the two generals hold out under the attack of 30,000 Yuan elites? ”

"If there is enough food and grass, you can keep it for two months!"

Cheng Lian gave an answer.

"What if it's 50,000 Yuan troops?"

Jia Xu said again.

"January ......?"

Wei Yue's face darkened, 50,000 against 5,000, that is ten times the enemy, "Jia Zhizhong is joking, how can this Yuan army produce 50,000 elites?" ”

"Huh."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "With only 50,000 elites, Yuan Shao can still take it." The two generals also knew that if the Yuan army really dispatched 50,000 elites, with 5,000 soldiers and horses, they would not be able to hold on for a month in this well pass! But if our army is to conquer you, it will take three months. As soon as the well path pass was lost, Yuan Jun went up against the well path, and the soldiers came to my Jinyang, and it didn't take half a month......"

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue were silent.

Even Lu Bu's face was a little gloomy, "Wenhe, if that's the case, how many soldiers will be stationed at Jingjing Pass?" ”

"If Yuan Shao only sends one general to attack it, thousands of people are enough, but if Yuan Shao attacks it personally, it will be a big battle! Even if you stick to it, it will take 10,000 people! If you want to fight a decisive battle with Yuan's army, you ......"

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, and Li Ru continued Jia Xu's words and said firmly, "Then the lord's father-in-law will lead a large army to fight!" ”

His face was a little silent, and Lu Bu naturally knew in his heart that Yuan Jun was powerful now. Being able to defeat Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shaoke was no fluke. In terms of armor alone, the state is not as good as Jizhou's. Moreover, Lu Bu also had to divide the Xiongnu, Hanoi, and Yuan Shao, but he was surrounded by enemies on three sides.

"Then how many troops do you think you need in Hanoi to prevent Cao Cao?"

Lu Bu asked again.

Li Ru replied, "Yanzhou Cao Cao does not have many troops, most of them are Qingzhou troops, and their combat strength is far inferior to Yuan's army. And Cao Cao is facing Yuan Shu in the south, and Tao Qian in the east, and he will definitely not send out all the army. Even if it attacks Hanoi, the number of troops it can dispatch can be about 30,000, and it is not elite. Therefore, to defend Hanoi, only a few thousand elites are needed. ”

Don't look at Cao Cao's reputation for breaking through a million Qingzhou troops. But the real combat power is far inferior to Yuan Shao. After all, more than half of the millions of Qingzhou troops are old and weak. At this point, you can look at Lu Bu's battle in Yi County, Hanoi. Nearly 100,000 White Wave troops were wiped out in World War I, and the combat power of these White Wave troops was much stronger than those Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou. After all, the White Wave Army has fought hard with Xiliang's elite. Even though he was defeated, he was once defeated by Niu Fu, which made Dong Zhuo quite sad.

After Cheng Lian Wei and Yue returned from Hanoi, Yang Feng was guarding Hanoi, about 4,000 people, plus guards from all over Hanoi, about more than 10,000 people. Sending another general, leading thousands of elites, and guarding the strong city, Cao Cao may not be so easy to attack. And Hanoi is not important to Cao Cao. Even if he won Hanoi, Cao Cao would still face Lu Bu's attack, and at that time, his territory would really be surrounded by Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian.

His brows furrowed, Lu Bu's gaze swept over everyone's bodies, and he gently stroked the tip of his nose, thinking about something.
