"Boss, what's next?" Lu Bu asked Lu Zhi.

"Want to know?" Lu Zhi raised his eyes.

Lu Bu nodded his head like a woodpecker.

"I'll tell you after the military law of the boss is over." Lu Zhi smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Lu Bu was not only not angry, but laughed, "Isn't it just 10 military sticks, what's the matter?" It's no wonder that although Lu Bu is unruly, in fact this is just his appearance. The reason why he seems so cold is not because he is arrogant, but because most people are incompetent waste in his eyes.

Speaking of Lu Bu's way of thinking and Apple's founder Stephen? Steve Jobs was very similar, "There are only two kinds of people in the world, one is genius and the other is waste." He despised those mediocre mortals from the bottom of his heart, but he had special respect for those who had the ability, such as the eight strong generals under his account, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba...... All of them were favored and reused by him. Obviously, Luan Yi and Lu Zhi are also classified as geniuses.

Lu Zhi, who has read countless people, saw Lu Bu's psychology and tamed Lu Bu's wild horse with a stroke.

Lu Bu walked out of the camp tent, obediently ate ten suffrage sticks, and it didn't take long for him to come back with his numb shoulders, "Boss, now you can say what to do next, right?" ”

Lu Zhi sat on his handsome seat unhurriedly, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said, "Don't be busy! ”

Lu Bu was a little anxious, "Didn't you say that you would tell me after eating the military stick!" Why did you change your mind again? The coach can't play me! ”

"Don't worry, it's not that the old man refuses to tell Feng Xian, it's just that the old man hasn't figured out how to continue fighting this battle!"

"Huh?" Lu Bu was stunned.

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Bu and asked, "Don't you think it's strange that Sun Ce was obviously defeated this time but retreated?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Zhi said again: "In other words. Feng Xian, if you were Sun Ce who lost his strength in the first battle, lost his spirit, and lost nearly half of his men, what would you do? ”

Lu Bu thought for a moment and responded, "I think that I will choose to withdraw to Jiangdong when I know that I will not be able to defeat the Church army. ”

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, "But Sun Ce didn't withdraw." Their army is now stationed fifty miles away, why? ”

"It must be something else!" In the account, Li Su said.

"Obviously." Lu Zhi stroked his beard and looked back and forth at the map, and muttered in a low voice, "What does Sun Lang Xiao'er want to do?" He asked again: "Xiaoxian, if you are Sun Ce, why don't you retreat to Jiangdong after the defeat, but instead set up another big village fifty miles away?" ”

"I ......" Mao Jue put away the folding fan, pointed to the map and said: "If I am defeated and do not retreat, there can only be one purpose, and that is to lure the enemy." Sun Ce was going to lead us by the nose and follow them 50 miles to the southeast. In that area, they set up an ambush in the Yingchuan River Valley. Although the ambush is useless now, it can also be used as a surprise soldier, they can not only echo with the Jiangdong army from afar to contain our army, but also quietly go north along the Yingchuan River valley, go around the back of our army and besiege it in a flanking attack. All in all, as long as our army pursues to the southeast, the situation will certainly be very unfavorable to our army. Therefore, Jue believes that our army can only be put in place and Sun Ce must be helpless! ”

Lu Zhi nodded again and again, "What Xiaoxian said is not far from the truth!" ”

"Oh?" Not far from the truth means that the answer is not entirely correct. Mao Jue, who thought he had given the correct solution, paused for a moment and asked unconvinced: "What did Jue say wrong?" ”

"It's not that it's wrong, but that Xiaoxian ignores Zhou Gongjin's ambition!" Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and pointed out a route on the map, "Did Xiaoxian ever think about what would happen if we chased fifty miles south and left a huge gap in the rear, and Zhou Gongjin led his troops to walk 30 miles north along the Yinghe River valley, and then go all the way from the east to Daguan?" ”

Mao Jue and Lu Bu poked their heads to look at the map, "That's ...... Xia Cai? The two couldn't help but be shocked. Xia Cai is the most important port city in the south of Xuzhou, and it is also a necessary place for the supply of food and grass for the church army.

If Sun Ce sent troops and horses to capture Xia Cai, it would mean that the supply of food and grass for the church soldiers and horses would be cut off, and only one army would be sent to defend Xia Cai, and the other army would be held back in the southeast, and the 30,000 church army would be self-defeating.

"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, so calculating! If it weren't for Ziqi ordering churches around the country to draw detailed topographic maps, it would inevitably be Zhou Yu's misdeeds! Mao Jue continued: "Zhou Yu's plan is not evil. But fortunately, we understood his intentions in advance, and knew that they could not do anything about us as long as they were stationed in place. After the lure failed, they would naturally retreat to Koto! ”

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "What Yi Xiaoxian said is indeed safe, but it is too conservative. Before leading the troops to fight this time, Ziqi had sent a personal letter, asking the old man to consume Jiangdong's troops as much as possible, so that when they entered Yuzhou in the west in the future, they would not pass through our rear! However, in yesterday's battle, our army only consumed more than 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers, and Sun Ce's muscles and bones have not been defeated. If Sun Ce is let go so easily, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the overall situation. ”

"What should I do according to the boss?" Li Ru asked.

"The plan will be calculated, advance 50 miles to the southeast and continue to confront Sun Ce. Zhang Wenyuan, who was stationed in Xia Cai, was ordered to immediately move the people out of the city and take refuge in high places. He led 3,000 defenders to continue to defend the city, and once the Jiangdong soldiers came to attack, they immediately lit wolf smoke in the city, and retreated north with the Jiangdong soldiers for a while; Ling ordered Zang to announce that he would lead 5,000 troops to stop the river in the upper reaches of the Yinghe River, and once he saw the wolf smoke rising in Xia Caizhong, he would immediately release the water and break the embankment...... I'll bring a large army to help. ”

Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Boss, is this going to flood Cai?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded.

Mao Jue said, "But has the commander ever thought about what if the army in the Sun Ce River Valley did not capture Cai, but went around behind my army?" At that time, our army will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation will be very unfavorable! ”

"This is another reason why I separated Zang Xuangao. That's right, the Jiangdong Army's circumvention to the rear of our army is indeed a great disadvantage to our army. However, we only had to defend for a day and night while the enemy was on our backs, and Zang Xuangao's 5,000-strong army and Zhang Wenyuan's 3,000-strong army in Xia Cai City would be able to rush to support. At that time, it was Sun Ce who was the one who suffered from the enemy! In addition, I have reason to believe that our army will never be easily surrounded by Sun Ce, and the answer is very simple......" Lu Zhi smiled and took out a metal cylinder from his arms, and looked closely at what it was if it was not a telescope. He pointed to the telescope and explained: "With this thing, our army's scouts have a full distance of more than one mile more than the Jiangdong army, so that our army can see the opportunity and escape before the Jiangdong army completes the encirclement." ”

Mao Jue held the end of the folding fan and slapped the door of his head. I sighed how I forgot about it. "Poor Zhou Yu doesn't know that our army has this artifact, but being smart is mistaken by cleverness, and it will definitely be defeated!"

Lu Zhi then sent Zang Ba to the north of the river, and sent a messenger of his cronies to Xia Cai to report to Zhang Liao. The self-lifting army marched fifty miles and stood opposite the Jiangdong army.

How did Sun Ce and Zhou Yu know that the situation under the cloth was all expected by Lu Zhi, and when they heard the report from Tanmalai, the church army chased after them, leaving the rear of Nuo Da to themselves, and they were proud for a while.

That night, Zhou Yu personally went out and took advantage of the night to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to join Jiang Qin, who was ambushed in the Yinghe River Valley, with a total of 11,000 soldiers and horses.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, the church defenders in Xia Cai City tonight obviously didn't expect them to come by a detour, there were very few defenders on the city tower, and they were not wary at all.

Where can Zhou Yu let go of such a good opportunity, and attack the city overnight.

Tens of thousands of torches were lit at the same time, like stars in the sky on the earth where you couldn't see your fingers.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, do not let your subordinates show their feet. Zhang Liao did not inform his subordinates of the arrangements made by Lu Zhi, and deliberately reduced the number of guards guarding the city. Therefore, the church guards in Xia Cai City were startled when they suddenly saw so many enemy troops, and hurriedly beat gongs and drums to wake up the sleeping robes.

However, they were still half a beat slower after all. By the time they finished draping, many Jiangdong soldiers had already climbed the city wall along the ladder. Tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers flocked to the foot of the city wall and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the city, and the rushing cars covered with cowhide slammed the city gates.

On the head of the long and narrow city, more than 100 meters of church guards resisted desperately under the leadership of Zhang Liao himself, but there were too many Jiangdong soldiers, there were tens of thousands of people, and the church guards in the city were only 3,000 in total.

After losing the important stronghold of the city wall, the city gate also fell to the ground, and Zhang Liao knew that it was time to be defeated. lit the wolf smoke in the city, led his subordinates to rush out of the north gate, and ran desperately to the high ground.

Zhou Yu did not chase either, Mingjin withdrew his troops and guarded the city pass. The soldiers and horses had just established themselves in the city, but they heard the Malay report that Xia Cai was actually an empty city, and there was no money or food in the city, and there was not even a single common man.

Zhou Yu was shocked, grabbed the scout's collar and asked angrily, "What did you say?" Nothing? ”

"Back to the general, no! Not a single one with legs! Xia Cai is simply an empty city"

A strong sense of powerlessness rushed straight to Zhou Yu's left chest, and if it weren't for the support of his guards, he almost sat on the ground. "The big thing is over, but I fell for Lu Zhi's trick! Quick, get me out of town! ”

It's too late to leave!

Zang Ba, who was stationed in the upper reaches of the Yinghe River, saw the wolf smoke in the direction of Xia Cai, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the trough, and released all the full river water in one go. In a matter of moments, the tumbling torrent submerged the port city of Ha Cai, which is close to the river, in a flood nearly a foot deep
