573, calculate Shu County Liu Kai
According to Zhu Wei's discussion with Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, now that Liu Xun has been captured, it may be possible to consider letting Liu Xun surrender his younger brother Liu Kai, so as to take the entire Lujiang County without bloodshed.
It's just that Zhu Wei found out through the Three Kingdoms game system that Liu Xun's loyalty to Yuan Shu had reached ninety-three, and he had a premonition that such a method was a little unlikely to be realized.
It's like after a war in the Three Kingdoms game, you can directly capture the enemy's civil and military generals, and then see the character attributes of these people at the first time, and then make a decision on these people to surrender, behead or release.
Of course, in the real world, it is naturally impossible for such an option to appear after the war, but Zhu Wei can see the information of these captured generals at any time through the intelligence system.
In the system intelligence column, at this time, they still belonged to the courtiers of the original force, so Zhu Wei saw Liu Xun's loyalty to Yuan Shu, which was completely a die-hard type.
It is no wonder that in the original history, after Yuan Shu's death, Liu Xun could accept Yuan Shu's bones and family, and almost became the successor of Yuan Shu's forces, because he was originally the back road left by Yuan Shu.
Will such Liu Xun surrender, obviously not.
Therefore, after Zhu Wei saw Liu Xun, Liu Xun was just bent on death, and scolded Zhu Wei even more, so obviously he couldn't pass Liu Xun's side and surrender Liu Kai, who was located in Shu County, still needed to continue to fight through war.
Knowing Liu Xun's attitude, Liu Ye offered advice to Zhu Wei, he could use Liu Xun's name to transfer Liu Kai to send troops to aid Anhui County, so that Zhu Wei's side might be able to ambush him halfway.
This strategy was quickly approved by Jia Xu, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, after all, there was no such ambush as there was in Shu County, and if it was necessary to storm Shu County, it would probably cost a lot of troops.
Although Shu County is Zhou Yu's hometown, and the Zhou family also has some connections in the local area, Zhu Wei has also arranged some manpower in Shu County through Zhou Yu's side, but after all, he can't directly have the position of a military advisor and strategist in Anhui County like Liu Ye, and has the right to transfer people in Anhui County.
And Liu Kai in Shu County, the commander of the army also has as many as 15,000 troops, so the manpower arranged in Shu County by Zhou Yu will not play much role.
If Liu Kai can be deceived out of Shu County and reduce the number of troops in Shu County, then the people who were previously deployed in Shu County will have the opportunity to show their skills, so this strategy will soon be perfected under the detailed supplement of everyone.
Next, Zhu Wei's army repaired in Anhui County for a day, and more than 6,000 people were recruited from the soldiers in Anhui County to supplement the Xionglu camp, and then Jiang Qin was left with 3,000 troops and the remaining about 5,000 eliminated soldiers to guard Anhui County.
At the same time, Jiang Qin also asked Jiang Qin to continue to select and compile about 10,000 young and strong people, and select the elite of them as reserve soldiers, ready to fill the gap after the army was damaged in battle, and as for the other eliminated, they were directly disbanded and returned home.
After arranging the affairs of Anhui County in this way, Zhu Wei set off from Anhui County with the army that had refilled the troops and advanced in the direction of Shu County.
About a day later, Zhu Wei's army came to Juchao.
Juchao County has already been captured by Ling Cao and Xing Daorong with the 5,000 vanguard army of the Xionglu battalion a few days ago, and this county seat can be regarded as a transit place in Lujiang County that connects all directions, but the scale of the county itself is not very large.
Therefore, Ling Cao and Xing Daorong led their troops to Juchao, and almost did not encounter any Liu Xun's regular soldiers guarding the city, only more than 100 local county soldiers and young men in the city acted as the duty of resisting the rogues and bandits, so it was naturally impossible to stop the five thousand elite sieges of the two generals on Zhu Wei's side.
Previously, Zhu Wei asked Ling Cao and Xing Daorong to lead troops to occupy Juchao first, mainly to cut off the flow of civil information between Anhui County and Shu County, and to prevent the people who fled the war from Anhui County to spread the news of Anhui County to Shu County.
Of course, if it is some messengers who specialize in carrying out tasks, it is naturally impossible to intercept them completely, after all, in addition to the official road, there are still many small roads to detour.
But at least after occupying Juchao, the news of what happened in Anhui County will also spread to the northeast of Lujiang County after a period of delay.
In addition, the messengers who came out of Anhui County before also died halfway through Liu Ye's means, so now the news that Zhu Wei has captured Anhui County is actually basically truncated on the side of Juchao County.
Although Juchao County was occupied by Ling Cao and Xing Daorong with troops, with the passage of time, it would inevitably make Shu County notice something unusual, but it was still possible to hide a lot of things in a short period of time.
Juchao County can be regarded as in the middle of Anhui County and Shu County, and it is almost a day's walk for ordinary people to walk from Anhui County and Shu County.
In this way, after Zhu Wei arrived in Juchao County, he met with the troops led by Ling Cao and Xing Daorong, and temporarily used Juchao County as a camp base, and began to arrange ambushes between Juchao County and Shu County.
Of course, such as Anhui County, Juchao, Shu County and other county towns are also located on some official roads in Lujiang County.
Therefore, if Zhu Wei's army wants to ambush, it can only find land and set traps on the official road.
However, now the rhythm of things is under Zhu Wei's side, so Zhu Wei also arranged all the ambushes here, and then sent a messenger from Anhui County Liu Xun who pretended to be the school office, and quickly went to Shu County with a letter asking for help.
However, it was said that Liu Kai on the side of Shu County also smelled a little bit of the threat of war at this time, but before that, his attention was more focused on the threat of Huangzhongjiang Dongying here in Jiujiang County in the north.
This is also the tactical requirement that Zhu Wei gave Huang Zhong, so after Huang Zhong sent troops to capture Fuling and Nanggao counties, he deliberately collected ships on the side of Chaohu Lake, and put on a posture of crossing Chaohu Lake and attacking Shuxian County, Lujiang County.
Faced with such a military threat, Liu Kai inevitably ordered the soldiers located in the defense line of Xiang'an and Linhu to take precautions together, so as to prevent Zhu Wei's army from moving west from Chaohu, just like the previous raid on Fuling and Nangao to raid Lujiang.
Originally, Liu Kai also sent a messenger to Anhui County, wanting to explain the changes that happened in Jiujiang County, but the messenger went but there was no feedback, and at the same time, the connection between Anhui County and Shu County seemed to be broken, which inevitably made Liu Kai also a little worried about the situation in Anhui County.
In addition, Liu Kai heard some other news, it seems that Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Zhu Wei jointly issued a notice, saying that they were going to crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu on the order of the Son of Heaven, which made Liu Kai even more worried about the current situation.
Then Liu Kai also knew from the scouts sent by his subordinates that Juchao had been occupied by a foreign army, and now the official road between Shu County and Anhui County had been cut off......
