Li Yu is about to go to war, so he can't help but stay with his wife Cao Fang for a few days and explain many things, Li Yu has almost switched to Tiannan and Haibei for half of his life, and rarely stays at home honestly, so he feels that he owes Cao Fang very much, but he can't mislead the country; On the night before leaving, Jia Xu, who was also one of the three dukes, came to visit, the old man was still quite strong, and Cao Pi was also very considerate of these old ministers, and allowed them to sit and talk when they were deliberating; "Huaide went to Jiangnan this time, I don't know what to prepare? How are you going to fight the war? After the guards served tea, they retreated, leaving only Li Yu and Jia Xu, Jia Xu asked each other, and Li Yu's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Mr. Feiwen has a clever plan?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Gao Jian doesn't have it, and he doesn't have a clever plan, I just want to talk to Huaide!" ”

"I have no plans for the time being, but there are still 400,000 soldiers in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and there are still a lot of soldiers and horses outside Xuchang City, I also plan to take half of them, and when I get to Jingzhou, I will fight Jiangdong first, and then Liu Bei, this is the same tone!" , Li Yu said, he was throwing bricks and jade, he knew that Jia Xu had something to say; Sure enough, Jia Xu continued to ask: "If you fight Jiangdong, where are you going to fight from?" The morale of the new victors of the Jiangdong Army is high, and there are also virtuous people such as Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, so I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with! ”

"Sun Quan is now the capital of Lingyang, it seems that he has abandoned Chai Sang, but Chai Sang's position is still very important, I plan to continue to send troops from Jiangxia, fight over, use foot cavalry to decide victory or defeat, put aside the role of the water army, and use strengths and avoid weaknesses!" , Li Yu said with a smile; Jia Xu shook his head: "But now that Sun Quan has taken back Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and re-blockaded the banks of the Yangtze River, even if we attack his hinterland, he can calmly use the Yangtze River waterway to dispatch troops according to the changes in the battle situation, and even threaten our territory!" Not advisable! I have a plan, would you like to hear about it? ”

Li Yu took a sip of tea and blinked his eyes: "Oh? That's a good idea! You say! ”

"Now Wei wants to annex the other two kingdoms with much more effort than before, so we have to start from other places! Take some unusual paths! Wars between countries are fought on national strength! And national strength can be explained by the population!

There will be officials, there will be armor, there will be weapons, no one can do anything, so! It is necessary to start around people and solve problems! I have a plan to draw money from the bottom of the kettle, we can attack the cities of other countries, take their people captive, and emigrate them to the territory of Wei! ”

"Shhhh , Li Yu lowered his head and pondered, if he did this, sooner or later he would destroy the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Shu!

Because population growth takes a certain amount of time, what they have to do is to cut off their population growth and fundamentally destroy Wu and Shu, but it will take more effort! In terms of time, this is not a plan that can be effective in a short period of time; Nodding, Li Yu: "You're right, the national war is different from the previous wars, and you should make long-term preparations!" ”

"You can start with Jingzhou first, and give up all the places in Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and other places in the south of Jingzhou, but transfer all the people there to the north! Perhaps you can also start with Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, first sweep away the Wu forces there, implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and transfer the strategic deployment backward to the hinterland of Xuzhou and Yuzhou; In short, our current national strength far exceeds that of any country in Wu and Shu, but we can't resist them combined, as well as Xiliang and Hanzhong, these are all places where we have to make moves! Jia Xu said slowly and logically, and Li Yu fell into deep thought;

Li Yu fled from Xuchang and transferred more than 50,000 soldiers and horses from Xuchang, and also took Cao Hong, Xu Chu, and Xu Rong away. Li Yu's trip directly aimed at Shouchun, there are several more difficult cities in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and Shouchun is the most difficult one; Shouchun guards Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, Xu Sheng is quite resourceful and steady, Ding Feng is young and strong in martial arts, and another 50,000 Jiangdong troops are stationed to build Shouchun City as solid as gold, but unfortunately in Li Yu's eyes, this city can be captured in an instant!

"This city can be taken in a day, do you believe it?" , Li Yu smiled and said to Xu Rong beside him, Xu Rong was stunned, he was conceited that he was handsome, both civil and military, but with the same strength, he was not sure that he would break through this city, let alone within a day?

He didn't question Li Yu's ability, probably a common problem of the generals under the Cao family, and they have always had the intention of blindly obeying Li; "Even in a stable city, I'm afraid of ghosts! Most of the scholars and families in Shouchun City followed the first emperor a long time ago, because the conquest of Jiangdong was evacuated here, and their strength was not enough to resist the Jiangdong people after being occupied, so they would be dormant, as long as we came, they would immediately move! ”

Li Yu is full of confidence: "Shouchun is different from other cities, this is equivalent to the political center of the entire Yuzhou, not Hefei and other places can be compared, Jiangdong people occupy this place must not dare to do anything to these colluding scholars, although I hate these scholars, but I have to use them!" Hehe! Raise the banner and go for the challenge! Tonight is going to change! ”

General Xu Rong nodded suspiciously and commanded the soldiers and horses to line up, Xu Chu and Cao Hong were ready to fight, Li Yu still chose Xu Chu, after all, Xu Chu's force was more than one grade higher than Cao Hong, and he asked Xu Chu to make meritorious service to the soldiers in the city, and this signal was a signal that Cao Jun was still extremely strong!

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were a little flustered in the face of the sudden Cao army before they settled down, they have also been preparing to wait for the arrival of the Cao army, and climbed the tower to visit the enemy army, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were heavy in their hearts, and the Cao army on the opposite side was well-trained and uniform, on the one hand, it said that the elite of the Cao army on the other hand announced that the leading generals in the Cao army were not mediocre; "Listen to the rats in the city! Grandpa is Tiger Hou Xu Chu! Who dares to come and die? Xu Chu was carrying a big knife and screaming in front of the battle, and the army behind him was also roaring feverishly; Ding Feng patted the city, and there was a faint hesitation in his heart, is he going to fight? You still have to know that this Xu Chu is not easy to mess with, Gan Ning is not his opponent!

Speaking of Gan Ning, he and Ding Feng have a grudge against killing their father, so Ding Feng has always wanted to find Gan Ning for revenge, but he is not Gan Ning's opponent and has never had a big revenge, Xu Chu fought with Gan Ning when he saved Cao Cao, Ding Feng also inquired that Gan Ning was not Xu Chu's opponent, so he was embarrassed by such a comparison!

Go, maybe it's death, my father's revenge has not been avenged, don't look away, don't go, you see that the morale of the soldiers in the city will inevitably decline, affecting the battle situation of the whole army, Ding Feng hesitated and still decided: "General Xu, the last general is invited to fight!" ”

Xu Sheng stared at the young man a few times and sighed: "Don't fight!" The other party's handsome flag has the word Xu written on it, and there are not many famous generals in the Cao army who can lead more than 50,000 troops with Xu Chu as the pioneer, probably Xu Rong and Xu Huang, they are not good characters! Strictly guard against stubbornness, and ask for help from Hefei, Quyang, and Jiujiang! ”

Xu Sheng did not dare to fight, which was more in line with Li Yu's intentions, and ordered the army to camp ten miles outside the city, stay down first, take a rest, he had to wait, wait for information in the city; Sure enough, the Cao army attacked, the Jiangdong army did not dare to fight, and asked for help from Hefei, Quyang, and Jiujiang, and the general of the Cao army outside the city was likely to be Xu Huang, Xu Huang had been the guard of Shouchun, and they also had a lot of knowledge, what kind of person was that? is a shrewd and capable generation of famous generals, and Cao Cao also praised him as a person like "Zhou Yafu"; The scholars in the city corresponded with each other, and they had a secret gathering, and some people said, Cao Cao has just been defeated, can he have half a year, and he has lost 400,000 troops, can he follow the Wei State? Shouldn't we find some other way?

As soon as these words came out, many people's enthusiasm cooled down, and there were still people who stood up to speak for the Wei State, no matter how much the Wei State occupied eight of the thirteen states in the world, with a population of tens of millions, and an army of millions. To sum up, the Wei State is still far superior to the Wu State and the Shu State, otherwise why would the Wu State and the Shu State have to join forces to compete with the Wei State? It's still right to follow Wei Guo!

So, they gathered their private collection of tribes, doormen, and family members to take advantage of the night to open the gate of Shouchun City, before they also sent people to contact the Cao army outside the city, the means of the Shi clan are all over the sky, and the Jiangdong army has just been stationed for a few months? They have already planted a lot of eyeliner in the Jiangdong Army; Li Yu's original intention was also to take a break and fight with Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng couldn't see that the truth just fell into his trap, and at night the city was on fire everywhere, Xu Sheng ordered people to fight the fire and disrupted the deployment, taking advantage of the chaos of the warriors to open the city gate, Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to enter!

Cao Jun is mostly cavalry rushing into the city to fight street battles, it seems to be a loss, in fact, otherwise we have to see what the situation is, Jiangdong Army didn't expect this situation to happen, the preparation is not enough, plus the Cao army has many accomplices, so they mistakenly think that the Cao army they saw during the day is not all the number at all!

The Jiangdong army, which had lost its courage, still resisted stubbornly at first, but when they saw the Cao army riding on a tall horse, they continued to reap the lives of their comrades, they panicked, panicked, ran, fled, and made a mess; Under the command of Xu Rong, they even carried out an organized and planned drive the Jiangdong rout into the camp of those soldiers who resisted, breaking up the Jiangdong army's military formation, causing even greater panic!

As soon as the Jiangdong army was defeated, Xu Sheng was still quite capable and appealing, and he made a quick decision, the strong man broke his wrist and gave up Shouchun City, ran outside the city to reassemble the Jiangdong Army to strengthen the defense line, and confronted the Cao army, and the two sides changed places to fight again! Changed directions!

Lu Dai of Hefei, Sun Ben of Jiujiang, and Chen Biao of Quyang brought people to come one after another, and formed a confrontation with Li Yu in Shouchun;
