Chen Liu's first battle, Jingxiang's military horses seemed to stop at a shallow taste, but the impact was not small.

Cao Jun wanted to regain the lost territory this time, and the momentum was huge, but when he first crossed the Yellow River, he suffered repeated defeats. The battle under the city, although it did not hurt more than 100,000 Cao troops, but the bravery of Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong led the troops, and greatly demonstrated the prestige of the Jingxiang army, so that tens of thousands of Cao troops stayed in the city and did not dare to move.

Although Jingxiang's soldiers and horses are far inferior to Cao's army, Xiliangtie rode back and forth like the wind, and his style was brave, which greatly made up for the lack of troops.

The two Jingxiang strategists all know that Cao Cao will not give up his ambition to dominate the world because of a few defeats, and the battle between Jingxiang military horses and Central Plains military horses can affect the current situation in the world.

So as long as they can get a slight advantage, the two will not let go, since the Cao army is steady, Guo Jia is meticulous, and it is difficult to use strange strategies to calculate Chen Liu, so they will compete for momentum, at least Chen Liu's battle, Cao Jun's morale has declined a lot, but the Jingxiang military horses in the Tiger Prison Pass are like a rainbow.

It's just that Zhou Yu and Pang Tong also understood that the soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass were far from enough to defeat Cao Cao's army in one fell swoop, so they repaired a letter and sent it to Shouchun, hoping that Zhuge Liang could understand the battle situation of Chen Liu and the Tiger Prison, so as to involve Jia Xu's energy.

As long as the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou failed to rush to Chenliu in time, then in the harsh winter, the Hebei army and horses would be homesick, and it was the time for Cao Cao to retreat.

If Cao Cao retreats, I am afraid that within a year or two, it will be difficult to make up such a huge amount of logistics and military supplies, so that Jingxiang's military horses can gradually encroach on Cao Cao's land as in the past. South of the Yellow River, it was difficult for Cao Cao to hold for a long time.

In Shouchun City, Zhuge Liang got a messenger to report, and hurriedly took the letterhead to watch carefully.

Although Pang Tongxin said that he was relaxed, and said that Jingxiang's army and horses had won several games against Chen Liu, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that Chen Liu's situation was far from being as optimistic as the letter said.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yutun has tens of thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou, if these soldiers and horses arrive in Chenliu without hindrance. Pang Tong. How should Zhou Yu and the others deal with it?

Pang Tongxin also informed Zhuge Liang that he hoped that he would drag Jia Xu in Xuzhou, and of course, Pang Tong also knew about Shouchun. Hefei two soldiers and horses. is not as powerful as Jia Xu. Therefore, Pang Tong believes that Zhuge Liang can delay for a day, although he will attack Chenliu. Pang Tong and Zhou Yu were unable to do everything they could, but they felt that it was not a big problem to guard the tiger prison.

After Zhuge Liang read the letter, his brows furrowed.

If the attack and defense are different, the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Cao army will regain their morale, and their combat power must not be underestimated, and Zhuge Liang does not want to let these two colleagues deal with the difficulties alone, although Jia Xu left, Shouchun's military horses can also take advantage of the situation to attack the counties of Xuzhou, but with Shouchun's Jingxiang troops, it is simply not enough to occupy too much land.

In the past, Zhou Yu had borrowed the sea route to occupy Xuzhou, but he couldn't keep it for a long time, and Zhuge Liang certainly didn't want to follow in his footsteps for some illusory military exploits.

Zhuge Liang was contemplating his eyebrows, and heard the sound of the news outside the palace, and after a while, he saw Lu Xun entering the hall, Zhuge Liang saw Lu Xun, his brows stretched, and said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan came at the right time, and first come to see Shiyuan's handwriting!" ”

"Chen Liuzhan report?"

Lu Xun hurried for days, and did not know the situation of the outside world, and Lu Xun came here, originally just to help Zhuge Liang, guard Yushouchun, Hefei, and now learned that the battle situation has changed, Lu Xun did not hesitate, and immediately took the letter from Pang Tong handed by Zhuge Liang.

After reading the letter, Lu Xun praised it in his mouth: "Mr. Shiyuan and Mr. Gongjin's methods are really atmospheric! ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled when he heard this, and said to Lu Xun: "What we expected before, the Cao army originally wanted to plot Shouchun and other places, but it was left behind by Shiyuan and Gongjin like this, but it made his previous plan go to waste, and half of the soldiers and horses of the Cao army were still in Xuzhou, and the previous plan of the dark Chen Cang was broken, but now the soldiers and horses led by Jia Xu are in a dilemma......

Lu Xun also smiled when he heard this, and after Zhuge Liang told him about the deployment of troops in Shouchun and Hefei, Lu Xun sighed: "Now that I have a vast land in Jingxiang, all states and counties need to send some military horses to maintain stability, so that the troops in the hands of Mr. Kong Ming and Lu are indeed a little stretched...... If there are twice as many Shouchun soldiers, it is a certain person in Lu, and he can also stay in Xuzhou steadily, and he does not dare to move. ”

Lu Xun's remarks are not wild words, but it is impossible to double the number of soldiers.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Lu Xun: "Liang doesn't know how to sprinkle beans into soldiers, Bo Yan still don't think about more soldiers against the enemy, Shouchun, Hefei has 30,000 troops and horses left, and some have to stay, beware of Jiangdong variables, you and I still have to think more about how to cooperate, and the Shiyuan of the Tiger Prison, Gongjin echo from afar......"

"30,000 military horses, it is indeed a little less, that Jia Xu is a decisive person, if he blindly disturbs, he will naturally see through our thoughts......" Lu Xun thought for a long time, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. thinks that Jiangdong will send troops to Lujiang?" ”

"Don't ......be precautionary," Zhuge Liang sighed when he heard this.

Since Zhou Yu and Lu Su entered Jingxiang, Sun Quan has become more and more unscrupulous, before Sun Quan did not have the courage to provoke Jingxiang, but now there are wars in the Yangtze River waterway, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, Sun Quan seems to be interested in this big war......

If Jiangdong is not guarded, once it sends troops to Lujiang and cuts off Hefei and Shouchun's military horses, then Jia Xu will take advantage of the gap to annihilate these 30,000 military horses in one fell swoop.

When Lu Xun heard this, he nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, Lu Xun said: "Lu can take a letter of resignation, and order the Runan army and horses to reinforce thousands of ......."

Lu Xun said, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Bo Yan has been an official in Runan for a long time, and it is feasible to borrow some soldiers, but it is only thousands of soldiers and horses, how to defend two big cities?" It's a drop in the bucket, just don't do it. ”

"But Lu thought that if he wanted to hold Jia Xu back, he had to strictly guard against Jiangdong, and he would have more soldiers and horses under his command." When Lu heard this, he restrained his smile and said: "And Lu is willing to share his worries for Mr., only relying on thousands of soldiers and horses to ensure that Hefei is not lost!" Hefei is not broken, Jiangdong military horses will be difficult to reach Shouchun, Mr. with 30,000 soldiers and horses, to deal with Jia Xu, the odds of victory can also be greater! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he said with a shocked face: "Bo Yanxiu wants to underestimate the enemy, although Jiangdong is weak, but he has ruled Lujiang for a long time, and there are tens of thousands of military horses in his city, if he comes to attack in a big way, he should not be underestimated!" ”

Seeing Zhuge Liang's expression, Lu Xun couldn't help but smile and said, "You can tell Mr. Lu that Lu's methods are ...... Although Lu's subordinates have few soldiers, they only defend the city, and they don't fight with Jiangdong, and don't forget that Mr. Jingxiang is not only strong in terms of force, but also in diplomacy! ”

Zhuge Liang was only slightly stunned, and then understood Lu Xun's plan.

Jiangdong is weak and has been repeatedly controlled by Jing Xiang, and now although Sun Quan is in trouble along the river and waterway, he does not dare to do too much, which shows that Sun Quan has no bottom in his heart, and he is even more afraid that once the Cao army does not make achievements in this battle, Jing Xiang will settle the grudge with him.

Lu Xun's diplomacy is nothing more than that once the two armies clash, they threaten Jiangdong with words, and since Zhou Yu left, Cheng Pu's naval army has gradually fallen behind the fleet under Ganning's command.

As a result, the Jiangdong military horses in Lujiang City did not dare to leave the city......

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang looked very happy, and said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan has good eyesight and outstanding wisdom!" ”

Lu Xun smiled when he heard this: "Lu only said a word, and he was spied on by Mr., and Mr. commented like this, which really made Lu embarrassed......"

After being humble, Lu Xun said again: "It's just that Jia Xu is not as good as Jiangdong, Mr. uses 30,000 soldiers and horses, can you be sure that you can drag that poisoner back?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "You can't ask him to rush to Yanzhou smoothly, and Liang thinks that Yun Chang has been away from Xuzhou for a few years, and he should also revisit the old place." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xun nodded slightly.

What Zhuge Liang said is to point out that Guan Yu used to guard Xiaopei, Xiapi and other places, and has a great understanding of the geography of Xuzhou, and now it is difficult for Chen Liucao's army to make achievements, if Jia Xu gets Cao Cao's edict, he must leave in a hurry, if Zhuge Liang sends troops to Xuzhou, it will make it difficult for Jia Xu to choose.

If Jia Xu leads the army away, 30,000 military horses are enough to cross Xuzhou, so that the Cao army crossed the river this time, did not gain an inch of land, but lost the foundation, even if Cao Cao called, Jia Xu should also have the responsibility of losing the land.

Since there is no advantage in terms of troops, then the only way to seek an advantage, hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Xun also felt that if Zhuge Liang made repeated moves, it was very likely to achieve what Pang Tong wanted, thinking of this, Lu Xun smiled: "It turns out that Mr. has a calculation in his heart!" ”

"Liang did think about it before, leading the soldiers and horses in the city, and Jia Xu would meet, but Liang was worried about Hefei, so it was difficult to make a decision, and now Bo Yan has a plan, so that Liang is at ease, and he can spare no effort to find Jia Xu for advice." Zhuge Liang said, bowed down and said: "I should also thank Boyan and give Liang a chance to compete with that poisoner!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Xun hurriedly avoided Zhuge Liang's big salute and said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. and Lu both studied under Mr. Shuijing, and they are colleagues, why should they be so polite to Lu?" It's just that this time Mr. went to Xuzhou, and he should be careful of that Jia Xu's poisonous scheme, in Lu's view, this person is scheming, although he is slightly inferior to Guo Fengxiao, but he is ruthless, I am afraid that no one in the world is the right one, otherwise he will not break into the great reputation of 'poisoner'! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face was solemn.

Jia Xu is ruthless, Zhuge Liang doesn't know, he first from Dong Zhuo, then Zhang Xiu, and in Wancheng, once designed to kill Cao Cao, if it weren't for Dian Wei and Cao Ang desperately rescued, Cao Cao is afraid that he would have died in Huangquan, because of this, Cao Cao loves his talent deeply, and when Zhang Xiu descends, reuse this person, now Zhang Xiu is among Cao Cao's generals, and everyone is in the limelight, and Guo Jia and Er Xun can be ranked with Guo Jia and Erxun above the court.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang restrained his smile and said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan entrusts, Liang should keep in mind, but Bo Yan doesn't need to worry too much, Liang Yu Jingxiang, watching Jia Xu's life, has long known his superiority, this time to deal with Jia Xu, Liang has no fear, only the excitement of meeting an opponent in chess!"
