"If not...... How about we just abandon the city this time? As soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth, he said such an answer that surprised everyone present, which immediately caused a commotion in the audience.
The silence of the synagogue was broken in the night light, and the sound of fragments turned into notes floating in the air, and the wind naturally drifted to Lu Bu's ears, but he only smiled slightly and did not refute.
In fact, let alone other people, even Hua Xiong obviously didn't understand this, but during this time, he had become more and more impressed by Lu Bu, and unconsciously had some intention of following Lu Bu, so he turned his eyes to him and wanted to look at his explanation.
As for Fan Chou and Han De, these people don't have a deep relationship with Lu Bu, and they are often hot-headed types, so at this time the reaction is very violent, although they didn't immediately jump out and openly refute it, but seeing the changes in their faces and muttering quietly, plus immediately turning their heads to look at Li Ru, as if they wanted to listen to his opinion, it was obvious that Lu Bu's words were both unexpected and disapproving.
Li Ru didn't seem to pay that much attention, and even Lu Bu noticed that his eyes lit up obviously when he heard his words, and then seemed to pretend to think for a while before asking, "Then what does Feng Xian think after abandoning the city?" β
Fan Chou and the others were directly defeated by Li Ru's words and became speechless, and the scene was suddenly shrouded in a strange silence, if Xu Rong and Yang Ding were still able to accept it, and their brains turned faster to more or less be able to take into account some problems, then the other Xiliang generals felt that Lu Bu's mention was too hurtful to their self-esteem, and the pride of their Xiliang Iron Cavalry should be trampled on at will?
Hua Xiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in his opinion, this was the military advisor's affirmation of Lu Bu, and the reverence for the military advisor and the admiration for Lu Bu were intertwined, which also made him believe that Lu Bu did this for a reason, although he didn't think of what the reason was.
As for Zhang Liao, although he didn't speak, it wasn't that he didn't have an opinion, but what Lu Bu thought of he actually thought of, this is not the time for him to speak, only when he feels that he needs to do some reminder obligations, he will speak.
However, Fan Chou was already very angry, and at this time, without waiting for Lu Bu to continue, he stood up first and said indignantly: "Military Division, General Lu, the last general thinks that it is inappropriate to retreat at this time...... No, it's not appropriate to retreat. Let's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, shrinking in this pass every day, we can only wait for the enemy to fight before we can passively counterattack, it is enough to be embarrassed, and if we have to retreat, doesn't it mean that we are afraid of the bird's anti-army alliance, this kind of thing I Fan Chou can't do. And at present, although the anti-army can be more arrogant, it seems that we are not in a favor, but General Lu also said that the enemy army will improve the trebuchet, could it be that we ourselves can't improve it? Send a letter to Luoyang to ask for the order of the country, those craftsmen to speed up the system and improve, who dares not to obey, who can compare with these craftsmen of the royal family? The most important thing we have to consider is the lack of recklessness, if we take the liberty of retreating, it is really very unfavorable to our army's morale. Don't forget, the Tiger Prison Pass is almost the last barrier outside Luoyang, if the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, Luoyang will have no blockage at all, how can Xiangguo explain when the time comes, do you really want to return to your hometown in Hedong, and let it fall into the hands of the rebels? β
I have to say that as a veteran and general with some seniority in the Xiliang Army, Fan Chou's strategic vision is grounded, and what he says is also a set of reasonable, advantageous and modest, even if he comes out to refute it, it is not without purpose, that is, if Lu Bu does not take into account the deeper and farther, I am afraid he will agree with his words.
But Fan Chou's words pinned hopes on more accidents, which in itself is undesirable, although the war sometimes has some luck elements, but after all, it is the strength of the master, and the strategy and means can sometimes influence the situation of the war, but these themselves are also part of the strength, whether it is fighting wits or fighting power, it is essentially strength, who is strong, who may be able to win the final victory. β¦,
Li Ru frowned, didn't look at Fan Chou, but asked a question that he couldn't answer: "Zixu, if what you said at other moments is not unreasonable, but you should also know that Xiangguo asked us to come to the Tiger Prison, not for defeat, but for the final victory." β
Fan Chou suddenly felt a feeling of being choked, Hua Xiong and other Xiliang generals also felt incredible, now they are obviously talking about preventing the enemy's attack, how can Lu Bu just retreat, this army division also said that he wants to win, how to win, do you still expect the coalition army to withdraw by itself? This is probably the only possibility, but it is also the greatest impossibility.
Everyone felt that what the military advisor was thinking was whimsical, and it might even be that his mind was broken by stimulation, of course, this was definitely unspeakable, and the doubts were even worse, so he could only wait for Li Ru to slowly solve them.
Li Ru smiled slightly, "Everyone may not believe what I said, what about you?" β
Lu Bu didn't expect Li Ru to lead the "war flames" to his side again, but he didn't refute it at all, he still coughed lightly and began to say: "Actually, Bu thinks that this is not impossible, the most important thing is one sentence: if you don't advance, you will retreat." β
As soon as he said this, Li Ru nodded, comprehending what he meant, obviously feeling quite appreciative; Among the other generals here, only a few people, Zhang Liao and Xu Rong, also lit up, as if they had thought of something, but they didn't say it, after all, what Li Ru asked was that Lu Bu could also play by him.
"......" Lu Bu suddenly thought, or rather, reacted at this time, Li Ru was clearly testing himself, or testing himself, but after thinking about it, he still didn't hesitate, and then slowly said what he thought in his heart, or the idea that he and his subordinate strategist Chen Gong discussed together: "Now, this situation is not good for us, if we allow the enemy to attack like this, although it is still possible to hold it with the danger of the tiger prison, but if we are too passive, the morale of the generals will inevitably be hit; Moreover, although the tiger prison is dangerous, our army is not good at defense, and the use of the terrain in this place may not be better than that of the enemy, which is a disadvantage. However, taking a step back, what we have always thought about is defense, why don't we want to think about the purpose of the anti-army alliance this time? The so-called revenge of the thief, then they must have a victory to support themselves, and the battle of Tiger Prison Pass can become such a victory. You must know that sometimes it is not easy to gain than to lose, not in the process, but in the dispute after the result, which is absolutely unbearable for the coalition forces. As for the ...... in the back," he looked around and suddenly laughed, "I don't think I need to say more, do I?" β
There is really no need for him to say more, Fan Chou and the others are also experienced people, and it is naturally easy to keep up with his train of thought after misunderstandings.
And Li Ru smiled and said: "It seems that there are also capable people behind Feng Xian to help." Although Lu Bu often surprised him during this time, he didn't believe that Lu Bu wanted to get this alone.
And the truth was just as he thought, so Lu Bu just smiled, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and Li Ru said with a straight face: "Didn't that capable person sue SΓΉ Fengxian?" If they abandon the pass and leave, it will be too easy for the coalition forces to pass this tiger prison, and what is too easy to obtain is often not cherished, so they may not start a dispute as we suppose, but will inevitably immediately prepare to attack the next city; And in that way, they still have to preserve their own strength, if our Xiliang Army does not lose too much strength, it is naturally easy to be recognized, so not only can it have the effect of slowing down their pace, but it will expose their own purpose. But if it is to hold on for a little longer, and it is better to be more miserable so that the enemy army can see our determination to hold the tiger prison, even if it is only for two or three days, it is better to be forced to abandon the pass and leave when the time comes, then ......"
"Hehe......" Before Li Ru finished speaking, Lu Bu already understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Wen You is really treacherous. β
Li Ru coughed for a while, and said, "This is not called treacherous ......"
"Uh, what's that called?"
"Ahem, this is called wisdom, does wisdom understand?"
ββ¦β¦β
As for the surroundings, they were already stunned, and they sighed in their hearts when they saw that these two people looked treacherous: What kind of people are these, the alliance army can really be said to be quite unlucky and sad when they meet them......
