Chapter 234: Sun Jian's plan

Rumble ......! The war drums of Lu Bujun's war were beating loudly, and the shouts shook the mountains and rivers one after another. However, Yuan Shaojun on the city wall turned pale and his heart was shaken.

Yan Xing raised his voice and shouted, "Who else? ”

There was silence on the walls, and no one dared to fight.

……

For a whole day, Yan Xing fought under the city pass, but no one dared to fight, and they all cowered within the city wall, and Yuan Shao's army was demoralized.

Yuan Shaojun had no one to fight, and Zhang Lang did not order the siege of the city, and the day passed like this. In the evening, Zhang Lang collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Jiang Fang returned to the hall of the governance office, and the generals were divided into left and right, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Jiang Fang said with a depressed face: "It's really infuriating, that Yan Xing is just an unknown person under Lu Bu's command, and our army is invincible!" The deputy general said: "The general doesn't have to mind too much, although this person is not well-known, but since he can be the deputy commander of the Long Tao Army, he must have something extraordinary!" Jiang Fang nodded.

The adjutant general said: "The Lu Bu army is menacing, we don't need to fight with them at all, we just need to defend it!" As long as they can hold out until the reinforcements of the Lord Gong arrive, Lu Bu and they can only retreat in disgrace! ”

Jiang Fang frowned and said, "I'm worried if Lu Bu has some conspiracy!" He stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, paced back and forth, and thought: "All day today, only that Yan Xing came out to challenge, but the army never attacked the city!" Compared to yesterday's situation, it's really unreassuring! ”

The adjutant general asked, "What does the general think Lu Bu has a conspiracy?" ”

Jiang Fang walked to the map frame on the side, looked at the mountains and mountains on both sides of Keiguan, and frowned: "The mountains and mountains on both sides of Keiguan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no paths through the mountains!" Will Lu Bu send a light army to go around the past? ”

The lieutenant general said in disbelief: "This can't be! Never heard of a trail here! I think the general is too worried, the reason why Lu Bu didn't attack the city today should be waiting for the arrival of heavy equipment! ”

Jiang Fang felt that what the adjutant general said made sense and nodded quickly.

Eyes temporarily turned to Xiangyang.

A banquet for Yuan Shao's envoy was dispersed, Sun Jian was drunk, Zhou Yu sent the envoy away, and then turned back. When he came to the stop, a waiter came up and said, "The lord has asked the general to go to the study to speak." Zhou Yu hurriedly walked to the study. When I came to the study, I was standing in front of the desk and looking at the letter from Yuan Shao sent by the messenger, how could I be a little drunk.

Zhou Yu stepped forward and hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord." ”

Sun Jian handed the letter to Zhou Yu and sneered: "Yuan Shao is really a good idea!" He wants us to solve Lu Bu's threat for him! ”

Zhou Yu took the letter and read it, and smiled, "Doesn't the lord have the intention of attacking Luoyang?" ”

Sun Jian walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, and said with a smile: "I want to attack Luoyang, but I don't want Yuan Shao to take advantage of it." Zhou Yu nodded, "The lord is wise, we should wait for Lu Bu to go deep into the territory of the state before we do it!" In that case, it will be difficult for Lu Bu to save Luoyang, and Yuan Shao's strength will also be weakened by Cheng DΓΉ, which is the most beneficial to us! Sun Jian smiled slightly, "Those who know me, Gong Jin also!" ”

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, I thought it would be better for us to target Luoyang for the time being!" ”

Sun Jian was surprised: "Why? Could it be that Gong Jin thought that Cao Cao should be washed away from Huainan? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, "The lord should still remember the strategy I told the lord?" ”

Sun Jian nodded, "You said: The way to seek the world is, first, to avoid getting involved in the Central Plains War as early as possible, and second, to expand the territory and strength as much as possible!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "If Luoyang is attacked, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to be in a transcendent position!" It will definitely be involved in the Central Plains War! Attacking Huainan means so! ……”

Sun Jian thought for a moment and glanced at Zhou Yu, "What does Gong Jin mean, we still have to insist on marching into Xichuan?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, "This time, we have to learn the lesson of the last time, divide our troops into two routes, one from Hanzhong to Xichuan, and the other along the Yangtze River west, and give full play to the advantages of our army's naval strength as much as possible!" At present, there is only one Pingnan Army in Hanzhong, only one Leopard Tao Army in Xichuan, and only one Yingyang Army and Luoyang Army in Luoyang area, with a total strength of only 400,000! Our army gathered 500,000 people to attack in two directions, and Lu Bu's army will be difficult to stop! At the same time, he intercepted the reinforcements from Luoyang with elite soldiers, and instigated the rebellion of the barbarians in Nanzhong with heavy money, and sent envoys to lobby the scholars of Xichuan and Luoyang! In this way, I am 80% sure that I can occupy Xichuan! ”

Sun Jian listened to Zhou Yu's analysis, and couldn't help but nod and smile: "Okay!" After Gongjin's arrangement, I feel that Xichuan is already in our bag! ”

Zhou Yu said: "Although I am very sure, we still can't be careless!" Frowning, "The strength of Lu Bu's infantry and cavalry is still the best in the world!" Considering the worst-case scenario, if Lu Bu's army and cavalry return to reinforcement on a large scale, we should rely on the river and the city as a stronghold to block it, and this work must be carried out now! ”

Sun Jian nodded, "I'll let Huang Gai do it later!" He glanced at Zhou Yu and asked, "I asked Gong Jin to train foot riding according to Lu Bujun's appearance, but there is a gain?" ”

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "The 100,000 new army is stepping up training according to the method of the Lu Bu army, although the combat power is far beyond the previous infantry cavalry, but if it is compared with the Lu Bu army, it still feels inferior!" ”

"Oh? So what's the problem? ”

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Compared with Lu Bujun, it seems that there is always a lack of spirit!" This new army will certainly be brave and fearless, but only for a high reward! But Lu Bujun doesn't seem to be entirely for this! Soldiers die for their confidants, they give me this feeling! ”

Sun Jian frowned and said, "Can't we do that?" ”

Zhou Yu clenched his fists with a look of shame and said: "My subordinates are incompetent, I really can't see through the joints!" ”

Sun Jian waved his hand, "It's rare that you can do this step!" After a pause, "Let's talk about the expedition." I personally led the North Route Army to attack Hanzhong, Gong Jin Shuai South Route Army went up the river, Huang Gai appointed Nanyang Governor to guard Nanyang, responsible for cutting off the reinforcements coming down from Luoyang, and Zhang Zhao sat in Xiangyang to supervise the grain and grass. ”

Zhou Yu nodded.

Sun Jian thought for a while, "As for the selection of the secret envoy......

Zhou Yu hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates have already thought of a few people, and they are about to ask the lord to participate in details." Sun Jian said: "Since Gongjin has already thought of a candidate, let them go." "No."
