"This strategy is to ambush the Qiaorui army first, and then attack Shu County!" Jia Xu adjusted his emotions and said.

"Shu County choked the main road to Shouchun in the north, and if you want to bypass Shu County's ambush bridge, you have to walk a long way through the mountain road. It is difficult to supply an army of tens of thousands of people with heavy grain and grass! Wen Ping was meticulous in expressing his objections.

"Don't take the mountain road, take the waterway!" Jia Xu corrected the text: "Going down the river from Anhui City, you can reach the port of Misu. The port is in the northeast of Shu County, as long as you take the port of the water, you can go ashore at night and ambush the bridge in the Hefei area! ”

Jia Xu pointed to He Qian's latest map of the Lujiang River and explained to the generals.

"The number of people can't be too many, and you have to try to hide your tracks, and you have to defeat the strong with the weak, this task is not easy!" He Xian tapped on the desk in front of him and said slowly.

"Lord, the last general is willing to lead 10,000 troops and complete the task!" Higashichuro will be hired to fight.

"Lord, Wei Yan is also willing to lead the troops to the battle!" Nishizhonglang will Wei Yan not to be outdone.

Even Xu Huang and Pang De had already held back their strength, wanting to fight independently and prove their strength in the Nanyang Army.

If Ganningto had not had an important logistical support line to maintain, he would have fought with his fists.

The morale of the Nanyang army is strong, and the military heart is available! But who should be responsible for this important task needs to be carefully considered. After all, whether or not Qiaorui's 50,000 reinforcements could be defeated directly affected the course of the Battle of Lujiang.

Wen Ping is a square person, and the opportunity is insufficient, and the most suitable is a large-scale battle on the frontal battlefield, which is more suitable for leading the army all the way to Shu County. Xu Huang has the style of a general, but the elite soldiers of Baibo under his command have not yet experienced hard battles, and if the war is unfavorable, I am afraid that it will collapse. Pound was the best at commanding cavalry, but in the land of the Lujiang River, the waterways were crisscrossed, and the cavalry was destined to only be used as an auxiliary, rather than the main force in battle. From this point of view, Wei Yan is the most suitable to be the coach of this ambush division! Wei Yan is brave and strategic, uses troops in an eclectic manner, and prefers to fight high-risk and high-return battles! The only drawback is that the temperament is a little impatient, the aggression is like fire, and it is easy to lose reason when provoked. Relatively speaking, Xu Huang's temperament is very stable and immovable. If Wei Yan is the main general, Xu Huang is the deputy general, and Pang De is accompanied by Sima, presumably Qiao Rui must not be an opponent!

After making up his mind, He Xian ordered Wei Yan to be the main general, Xu Huang to be the deputy general, and ordered 7,000 Nanyang light steps and 3,000 Nanyang heavy steps, a total of 10,000 foot soldiers as the main force of the ambush, and ordered Pang De to select 2,000 elites as auxiliary troops to accompany him, with a total of 12,000 people as the partial division to ambush Qiao Rui. At the same time, Gan Ning was ordered to divide half of the naval army and warships to be responsible for putting this partial division of more than 12,000 people into the port of Misu; The other half of the navy guards the port of Wankou, and a large amount of baggage and grain and grass need to be guaranteed by water. He Xian was worried that if the war went well and Yuan Shu was defeated and retreated, Sun Jian's Jiangdong army would try its best to hold back. And attacking the grain road is obviously the best way, so it has to be prevented.

"Remember! The purpose of this battle is to snipe the Qiao Rui army, so that it does not dare to go to Shu County for reinforcements! In other words, drag down the march of the Qiaorui army and buy time for the main force of our army to besiege Shu County! He Xian finally admonished.

Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Pang De were overjoyed when they heard this, and they hugged their fists and went out to receive their lives!

Gan Ning's 30,000 naval army had to guard the waterway and could not participate in the siege of the city on land, and after Wei Yan took away another 10,000 partial divisions, He Xian's main army was left with less than 55,000 people. From Wancheng to Shu County, there are three counties of Dongcheng, Qianshan and Jiashi that need to be conquered! The pressure on this side of the main battlefield is not easy!

He Xian led the face armor army, the medical army, the engineering army, and 3,000 Xiliang light cavalry. Wen Ping continued to lead the Chinese army, as the main force, and undertook the main combat mission. Zhao Yun was sent to lead the rear army after Wei Yan and Xu Huang left, and was responsible for opening the way, guarding and the work of the palace.

After the task was assigned, the two armies parted and went to carry out their tasks.

On 18 July, the hussar general He Xian led 100,000 troops (about 55,000 in fact) to 10 miles outside Dongcheng County. Dongcheng County is a small county under Lujiang County, the city is no more than five meters high, the population is less than 100,000, and the soldiers are only 5,000. The two wells are attacked from north to south, and within two days, the east city will be taken. But for the sake of Lu Su, He Xian still decided to salute first and then soldier.

He Xian led Zhao Yun to the gate of Dongcheng with two horses.

"Hussar General He Xian is here! Dongcheng makes Lu Su dare to go out of the city? He Xian puffed up his breath and roared.

"What? He's a hussar general? ”

"He came with an entourage?"

"He knows our prefectural magistrate?"

"Great! Looks like there is no need to fight! ”

Above the city, the Dongcheng County soldiers who were responsible for guarding each other exchanged heads. The arrival of 100,000 Nanyang troops made the people of the entire county panic. They are all waiting for the county commander Lu Su to make a final choice. As ordinary people, they only hope that Lu Su can surrender and avoid the scourge of swordsmen. Because once the war starts, there are only two results left: first, desperate resistance and residual victory; Second, after desperate resistance, the city is broken, and it is very likely to be slaughtered. Either way, it will be a life and death for the people. Lu Su was born in a poor family, and knew that the people were disgusted with the war, if it weren't for He Xian's dispatch of troops too suddenly, Gan Ning cut off the waterway to Jiangdong, Lu Su would definitely choose to abandon the city and flee to Sun Jian. Now, it is impossible to defect to Jiangdong, Lu Su is blocked in Dongcheng, and it is difficult to choose whether to fight or surrender.

"Squeak quack~" The gate of Dongcheng was opened, and a young man with a simple face walked out from inside, wearing a military uniform and carrying a sword.

"Dongcheng Ling Lu Su has seen the hussar general!" Lu Su bowed deeply, and Shi Shiran said: "There is a little thin wine in the city, I don't know if the hussar general dares to enter the city for a drink?" ”

He Xian asked Lu Su if he dared to talk about it, wanting to see Lu Su's courage. Lu Su opened the city gate, went out of the city alone, and did it. In turn, Lu Su asked He Xian if he dared to go into the city for a drink, and also wanted to see He Xian's ability as a prince, would He Xian refuse? Of course not!

Lu Su is a loyal man and will never risk the lives of the people of the city. So He Xian dared to take this risk.

Above the gate of the East City, two wine tables are placed opposite each other, and there is nothing else on the wine table except for wine jugs and wine glasses.

"I have long heard that the order of Lu County is Lu Jiang Junyan, and he has the talent to stabilize the country and the country. Yuan Shu rebelled and brought about his own destruction. It's impossible for Lu County to not know, right? He Xian took the wine jug, poured a glass of turbid wine into his wine glass, picked it up, and saluted Lu Su from afar.

Lu Su hurriedly picked up the wine glass, shook his head and said, "The people of Dongcheng will always be the people of the Han Dynasty. Why Yuan Zhoumu did this, the people of Dongcheng don't know, and Lu Su doesn't know. If the hussar general wants to crusade against Yuan Zhoumu, my Dongcheng will never become an obstacle to the general. I just hope that the general can let the people of Dongcheng fend for themselves and not be caught up in the war! ”
