Chapter 410: Chasing the Central Plains (3)

Lu Su arched his hand and said, "The lord is high!" ”

Sun Ce got up and paced a few steps under the tent, then paused, and said in a deep voice: "If the wind is not good, the Lone King will not be able to lead the army to cross the Huaishui River to the north without any consideration. Zijing can have a good strategy to help break An Fengjin alone? ”

Lu Su pondered for a long time, and said: "Zhang Liao has led the army for many years, and he is a rare good general in the world. ”

Sun Ce frowned and said: "Luo has many generals, and An Fengjin has an army of 20,000. There are few poor people in Jiangdong, and the 30,000 troops in the first war of the year before last were almost completely lost, and in the past two years, they have only 50,000 infantry and 30,000 sailors in total, and they have to guard various passes, and this time the troops can only mobilize 35,000 soldiers and horses at most, and there is really no advantage in terms of troops. ”

Lu Su thought about it for a long time before he said: "If you want to break Zhang Liao, you can only find an opportunity to break the enemy by luring him out of An Fengjin." ”

Sun Ce said: "Zijing has a good plan? ”

Lu Su said: "Su has an idea, I don't know if it can be done." ”

Sun Ce said with his hand: "Zijing, but it doesn't hurt to say!" ”

Lu Su said: "Why don't you order the people to put on our army's clothes and armor, and then order the soldiers to drive the people across the river, thinking that they are suspicious." Now, Zhang Liao will most likely send troops to attack Shouchun to force our army to retreat to Huainan. At that time, the lord can lead the main army to contain Zhang Liao, try to find an opportunity to break the enemy, and at the same time order the navy to go north against the Huaishui, or attack Anfengjin. ”

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "If you just let the people disguise themselves as soldiers, Zhang Liao may not be fooled. ”

Lu Su said: "The lord is thinking very much, Zhang Liao will definitely not send troops lightly, as the saying goes, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle." Therefore, it is not all the people who go north, at least 10,000 troops, and after crossing the Huai River, they can first break a few cities, so Zhang Liao does not believe it. According to the detailed report, the 25,000 cadres stationed in Lingbi have also gone north and down, and after our army has broken through several cities, it can put on a posture of attacking Lingbi, and Zhang Liao will inevitably send troops to attack the flank of our army, otherwise he dares to sit back and watch Lingbi fall. ”

Sun Ce's spirits perked up, and after a little thought, he said categorically: "Good, just follow Zijing's plan." ”

An Fengjin, Zhang Liao Daying.

"General, Xizuo sent back an urgent report from Shouchun."

A small colonel hurriedly rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly to Zhang Liao.

"Shouchun?"

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Speak! ”

The junior colonel said: "Sun Ce personally led an army of 30,000 and wanted to cross the Huaishui River to the north. ”

Zhang Liao frowned and said, "Have you ever found out that Sun Ce really wants to lead the army north?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "You shouldn't be mistaken. ”

Zhang Liao groaned and waved his hand to let the little colonel retreat.

How to analyze the enemy's military actions through these appearances and formulate corresponding countermeasures depends on the commander-in-chief, and if he wants to find out the enemy's true intentions, he can't do it.

Even if there were fine works that could infiltrate the enemy's camp, it would be impossible to spread the news.

Otherwise, before the army moves, the enemy will know what you want to do, and there is no need to fight the battle.

In times of war, soldiers are not allowed to leave the barracks, let alone have any contact with unrelated people.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Liao frowned and thought for a while, then asked the generals under the tent.

All the generals and colonels said in unison: "We are all the only ones who look forward to the generals." ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Order all departments, guard each village, and don't act rashly without an order." ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded in unison, and no one objected.

Shouchun, Sun Ce's official residence.

"Lord!"

Lu Su hurriedly stepped into the inner hall and bowed to Sun Ce.

"Son respects and abstains!"

Sun Ce hurriedly said, "What's the movement of An Fengjin?" ”

Lu Su replied: "There is no movement, Zhang Liao did not send troops. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he still said in good spirits: "This is also expected, if Zhang Liao was so easy to be fooled, Gu would have taken An Fengjin back a long time ago, how could he wait until now." ”

Lu Su replied: "Tomorrow the army will be able to cross the Huaishui, and in three days at most, there will be news back." ”

Sun Ce said 'um' and said, "It's time to go to An Fengjin for a trip." ”

Lu Su said: "We need to do everything possible to clear the spies of the cadre army and prepare for the westward advance of the navy against the Huai River." ”

"What Zijing said is extremely true!"

Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the barracks." ”

An Fengjin, Zhang Liao Daying.

"General, something is wrong!"

Zhang Liao was gathering the generals to discuss the military, when suddenly a junior colonel rushed in with a panicked face.

"What's the alarm?"

Zhang Liao stopped the colonel in a deep voice and asked in a deep voice.

The junior colonel said loudly: "Sun Ce personally led an army of 30,000 to cross the Huaishui River to the north, and has broken through Xiangxian, Longkang and other counties. ”

"What?"

Zhang Liao was taken aback, Huo Di stood up, and said in a condensed voice: "Sun Ce really led the army to cross the Huaishui River and go north?" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded anxiously and said, "It's true! ”

"Impossible!"

Zhang Liao subconsciously shook his head and said: "Anfengjin is less than two hundred miles away from Shouchun, and the rapid march only takes one day and night to arrive, how could Sun Ce lead the army to cross the Huaishui River to the north so with such peace of mind, there must be a problem here." ”

"But ......"

The little colonel said in a speech: "Sun Ce has really gone north, Xiangxian and Long Kang have already been attacked. ”

Zhang Liao frowned and was silent, pacing back and forth under the tent.

The generals exchanged their heads for a while, and gradually stopped talking, their eyes fell on Zhang Liao again, and their eyes moved back and forth with Zhang Liao's movements, waiting for Zhang Liao to make a decision.

Zhang Liao paced for a while before he stopped and asked the generals, "What do you think?" ”

The generals looked at me for a while, and then one of the generals said: "Xiang County and Long Kang have been lost, and the last general thinks that Wu Dong should have crossed the Huaishui, if our army does not contain Wu Dong, I am afraid that the main guild will be guilty." ”

Zhang Liao suddenly frowned, this is not a material that can take on heavy responsibilities.

As a commander of the army, the first thing that comes to mind when encountering problems is the fear of being held responsible, what use can such a person do.

"What do you guys think?"

Zhang Liao's brows quickly relaxed, and he asked the rest of the generals.

The generals all felt that the Wu army might have crossed the Huaishui, and were in favor of sending troops to attack Shouchun and force the Wu army to retreat.

Zhang Liao listened to the general's construction, was noncommittal, and waved his hand: "Order all battalions not to move rashly, and explore again!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao had made a decision, the generals had no choice but to surrender their orders.

Fifty miles west of Shouchun, Maqiu gathered, Sun Ce's camp.

"Zijing, did Zhang Liao send troops?"

Sun Ce put down the bamboo scroll and asked Lu Su, who was sitting at the bottom.

Lu Su replied: "There has been no movement yet, and no troops have been dispatched. ”

Sun Ce frowned for a moment and said, "This Zhang Liao is really calm!" ”

Lu Su said: "Zhang Liao is indeed a good general, and now it seems that the only way to let the old general Cheng Pu lead the army north to Lingbi." ”

Sun Ce said: "That's it, pass on the order to Moumou, and immediately lead the army north." ”

"Yes!"

Lu Su surrendered his order and immediately got up to leave. R1152
