The Troubled Times Begin Chapter 230 Cao Cao's Letter

"Why shouldn't the lord Cao Cao besiege Lu Bu with him? When we played, we happened to go north to Xuzhou! Seeing that Lu An seemed to be planning to stay out of the matter, the generals in the audience asked puzzledly. In their opinion, this is definitely an opportunity to enter the Central Plains in the north, and Cao Cao will attack LΓΌ Bu together, with a great chance of victory, if it succeeds, then with the current power of Jiangdong, I believe that a lot of territory can be divided.

"The idea of hitting the Central Plains at this time is not too suitable!" Lu An shook his head slightly, the moment he received Cao Cao's letter, the first thought in his mind was to go to Xuzhou with Cao Cao to get a piece of the pie, but after a turn of his mind, he finally gave up, at his current height, he can't just take care of the immediate interests of doing things, although attacking Lu Bu with Cao Cao seems to have little risk and big benefits, but from the perspective of long-term strategy, it is not a good choice.

"Why?" Most of the people in the audience obviously couldn't understand Lu An's thoughts, and asked one after another.

"Because what the lord wants now is Jingzhou!" Among the crowd, only Guo Jia and Lu Su did not show any surprise at Lu An's decision, but looked like a hero who saw something like him, and now seeing that everyone was a little skeptical, Guo Jia stood up appropriately at this time and explained softly.

As the world's top military mastermind, he saw what Lu An's plan was, and it was precisely because of this that he had a lot of admiration in his heart, his own lord was really a peerless master, and his vision strategy could always see through the key points at a glance.

"Jingzhou? It seems to be more important than Xuzhou, but there are more than 100,000 Liu Biao armor, and the difficulty of attacking it is much more difficult than attacking Lu Bu with Cao Cao, it is better to attack Xuzhou with Cao Cao, with Cao Cao as the main force, we shouldn't have too much effort to take Xuzhou! Zhang Zhao shook his head when he heard this, obviously not very agreeing with this choice.

"No, Lord Zhang Zhao, although it is difficult to attack Jingzhou, but high difficulty means high returns, if we can take Jingzhou, we will completely occupy the belly of the world, we can attack and retreat, on the contrary, if we attack Xuzhou, we will immediately fall into a dilemma!" Lu Su also stood up for Lu Andao at this time.

"Please advise?" Lu Su's answer confused the others, and they all asked.

"As the lord said before, Cao Cao actually invited the lord to attack Lu Bu together, but just to test whether the lord had the intention of interfering, I think his original intention was actually not to let the lord interfere in, and our rash dispatch of troops will make Cao Cao wary!" Lu Su's gaze circled around, and he said slowly: "And even if we can succeed in attacking Lu Bu with him, then it will not only be a blessing, but it may be a disaster!" ”

"Mr. Lu Su, you seem to be exaggerating, as long as you capture Lu Bu and take Xuzhou, with our current strength in Jiangdong, we can always get a piece of the pie, how can it be a disaster?" Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and the others widened their eyes and said.

"Yes, with the strength of our Jiangdong, we can indeed get a part of Xuzhou, but after the distribution, have you ever thought that at that time the Central Plains will only be left with Cao Cao and the lord, and the two will inevitably have contradictions, and the most important point is that Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao is about to unify Hebei, once he takes Hebei, he will occupy the land of Hebei, You, and Qingzhou, and his army will definitely go south, if there is no force in the Central Plains that can confront it at that time, Then whether it is for Cao Cao or for the lord, it obviously belongs to an extremely bad situation! Lu Su explained softly.

As one of the four heroic generals of the pillars of Eastern Wu in later generations, and the main founder of the three-point world, Lu Su may not be as good as Zhou Yu in commanding troops and inferior to Guo Jia in strategy, but his strategic vision is not inferior to anyone in this world, and his insight can be described as quite outstanding, otherwise he would not be able to play a collapsed strategy that makes Sun 100,000 ecstatic, which is the only strategic ambition comparable to Longzhong in the history of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, and successfully drew a benchmark for Sun Quan's alleged emperor.

And now, he also saw Lu An's true intentions with Guo Jia for the first time, and fully supported the other party's clear decision.

"Even if Yuan Shao's army goes south, we won't necessarily be afraid of him with our strength at that time!" When Lu Su said this, Gan Ning was shocked, but he was still unconvinced.

"Although we didn't have the strength to fight at that time, but this obviously made our Jiangdong fall into passivity, when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and our lord three families competed, the situation will become chaotic, then we might as well not have a little bit of territory in Xuzhou, just sit back and watch Cao Cao and Lu Bu fight, whether Cao Cao wins or Lu Bu wins, although they have obtained most of the Central Plains, they also have to face Yuan Shao's troops for the first time, and we in this period of time, if we can take Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, Then the lord not only avoided this decisive battle, but also greatly expanded his strength, and he could come out again to clean up the mess! Lu Su said with a smile.

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as Lu Su's words fell, Dao Dao clapped applause, but Lu An couldn't help but cheer, this Lu Su really deserves to be a pillar-level strategist, and he actually analyzed the situation so thoroughly, although he also knew that it was not a good time to get involved in the Central Plains at the moment, but he had never planned a specific and detailed direction, and Lu Su was almost able to give his future path, that is, to take Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and then wait for the opportunity in the war between Hebei and the Central Plains.

"That's right, Lu Su, I now regret sending you to Jiaozhou to supervise the army!" Looking at Lu Su's honest face, Lu An said with admiration. He is really a little reluctant to give up this guy at this time, he is really an outstanding strategist, in this regard, it is estimated that even Guo Jia is not as meticulous as he thought.

"The lord has a good reputation, but the military order is like a mountain, since the lord's military order has been issued, then this trip to Jiaozhou must be gone, not to mention that General Zhao Yun has been setting off for some time." Lu Su arched his hand.

Jiaozhou is a bitter cold place, although it is adjacent to Jiangdong, but it is a little far away, and Zhao Yun's qualifications are too shallow, so no matter whether Lu An himself is trustworthy to Zhao Yun's character, but this prison army must be sent out, in addition to supervising Zhao Yun, there is also the meaning of helping to suppress the soldiers when Zhao Yun can't suppress his subordinates, this kind of power position obviously requires a strategist who can lead the troops to be able to play, and now under Lu An's command, no one is more suitable for this position than Lu Su, this time to go out, Lu An asked Zhao Yun to lead 30,000 troops to set off first, and Lu Su led 20,000 soldiers to follow as the rear army.

"I know, in two days, you will take the rest of the people to Jiaozhou, I hope you will go back quickly!" Lu An nodded, and said with a straight face. Jiaozhou is just a small dish, and the future battle in the Central Plains is the focus, so whether it is Zhao Yun or Lu Su, Lu An hopes that they can come back to help him after pacifying Jiaozhou as soon as possible.
