Chapter 194 - Planning
When Koyi was stabbed, there were a few people sitting in the county government of Juxian County!
Langya Guocheng Sun Guan, Changshi Jian Yong, school captain Xiahou Bo, Sun Kang, Yin Li, etc., in addition to these Langya ministers, there are Tian Fan, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Hao Zhao, Wei Yan.
Since the end of September, after Liu Bei received the holy decree, everyone has realized that the crisis is coming, but what kind of crisis is this crisis, how powerful the other party is, and how many troops are ready to send, everyone has no idea in their hearts!
It wasn't until the beginning of October that the news came from spies from all over the country that everyone understood the specific situation!
Cao Cao personally led the team and sent 60,000 troops to attack the Liang State; Yuan Shaojun, led by Yuan Tan, 60,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Liyi, directly attacked Langya State! Yuan Shujun, Yuan Shu personally sent an army of 100,000 troops to attack Longkang County! Sun Cejun, sent 40,000 troops, directly crossed the river to attack Guangling, leaving 10,000 regular troops to defend the city!
The intelligence is very accurate, but the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Shujun's army have 50,000 mobilized from Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, that is to say, there are still 50,000 troops in Shouchun City, and the general Qiao Rui guards Shouchun.
Therefore, Yuan Shujun still has spare strength! It is possible that when the war is not going well, he will send Qiao Rui to lead his troops to attack Xiapi! Therefore, after Liu Bei and the others discussed, according to the strategy adopted by the other party, they kept 20,000 troops in the Xiapi camp, and the rest followed the generals to these four positions!
Among them, Liu Bei led the military division to sacrifice the wine Chen Palace, joined the army Xu Shu, the generals Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and others, and 10,000 troops, including 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, rushed to Liang State. Military divisions Lu Su and Liu Ye led 10,000 foot soldiers and rushed to Guangling. Chen Deng, the commander of the military division, led 5,000 cavalry and rushed to Longkang to assist Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to fight against Yuan Shu! Tian Fan, Lu Bu, and Gao Shun led 5,000 foot soldiers, trapped in the camp, and carried the soldiers, Tian Fan's 300 personal soldiers, and 3,000 cavalry, rushed to Langya State.
Needless to say, Lu Su and Liu Ye wanted to meet Zhou Yu, among several military advisors, Guan Yu only served Chen Deng, and the few people led by Liu Bei were all the strongest strategists and generals, specializing in dealing with Cao Cao's group of military generals, only Tian Fan was worth talking about!
Originally, according to everyone's thoughts, Tian Fan would not take the initiative to ask to go on the expedition, but they were all wrong! Tian Fan took the initiative to ask and said a big thing, if Yuan Tan is not disabled, he will not come back!
Liu Bei and the others were very puzzled, Tian Fan had always been very lazy, how could he take the initiative to ask for the expedition?
I can't understand it, but Liu Bei knows his ability! participated in the war several times, although he either participated passively or coincidentally, but he commanded the battle, which is still remarkable! On the other hand, it is because Lu Bu also wants to lead the way!
Liu Bei thought about it, Lu Bu and Tian Fan should cooperate well, so they allowed the two of them to choose all the way! And specially instructed that in this battle, Tian Fan is the main general!
And what Tian Fan chose was the North Road! Yuan Tan, 80,000 soldiers, and generals Lu Yi, Jiang Yiqu and others.
This is the first time that Tian Fan has become interested in the battle array, and it is also the first time that he has asked to be in charge of the war all the way, and it is also a formal point in his military career, judging from the final result of the war, he did a good job!
Tian Fan chose Lu Bu and Gao Shun to assist, and naturally, Hao Zhao and Wei Yan also came!
chose Gao Shun because he heard that Koji Yi was coming, and he was very curious, who is the strongest infantry in the first place of Koji Yi and Gao Shun's trap?
Hao Zhao is a must, this future famous general who guards the city needs to grow!
Tian Fan didn't ask for too many soldiers and horses, because at this time, the entire Xuzhou soldiers and horses were not rich! Guangling's 15,000 people, plus Lu Su Liu Ye's 10,000, is only 25,000, although there are still 18,000 sailors, but there is no good general's sailors, I really can't count on it! Their opponents are Sun Ce, who is brave and scheming, and Zhou Yu, who is like a demon! General Tai Shici, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc.! …,
Although there are more than 30,000 people in the department of Guan Yu and Zhang Liao of Long Kang, compared to Yuan Shu of 100,000 troops, it is still less! Even with the addition of five thousand cavalry, it is still insufficient!
Zang Ba of Liang State, 15,000 soldiers, plus Liu Bei's 10,000 people, is only 25,000, compared to the 60,000 people that Cao Cao Qun tried his best to make, it is still less! It is also a group of famous generals and strategists opposite!
In addition, Yuan Shu still has spare strength, so Tian Fan only needs 5,000 foot soldiers, plus more than 10,000 people in Langya Kingdom, he still can't make up 25,000!
The 20,000 regular troops left behind in Xiapi were led by Zhou Cang and Pang De! Pound, since standing out in the martial arts competition, has grown rapidly, and by this time, he can barely lead the army alone!
After making a plan, everyone set off one after another in early October, and Tian Fan and others were no exception.
At this time, Tian Fan and Lu Bu were discussing the next operational idea!
All the soldiers and horses combined, it is only about 23,000, and the 80,000 army on the opposite side is indeed very sad! Therefore, Tian Fan thought of giving them a dismount, if he killed Yuan Tan's vanguard general Lu Yi, of course, if he couldn't kill him, he could also slow down the speed of their march and give himself sufficient time to prepare!
However, his arrangement for Lu Bu took him a lot of thought! Lu Bu is too wild, he has always wanted to directly give the other party a surprise attack, and strive to defeat it in one fell swoop, but Tian Fan is unwilling! There are only 3,000 cavalry, and the opponent's cavalry is tens of thousands, this kind of battle is not easy to fight!
According to his idea, hide Lu Bu's cavalry for the time being, and wait for the critical moment to give the other party a fatal blow! However, Lu Bu said that he didn't want to say anything! According to his idea, if you come here, you are going to fight, and if you don't have a war, you might as well go to other ways!
There was no way, Tian Fan had to compromise!
After thinking about it for a long time, he said the specific idea he had just thought of, and Lu Bu reluctantly agreed!
Tian Fan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at everyone, and said, "Several, next, it must be a vicious battle!" I hope you will encourage you! In addition, I will hand over the command to Zhengqing, I will only be your pawn, from me down, including Fengxian, to listen to you! How is it? ”
Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu, and after seeing him nodding, Gao Shun was not hypocritical, and hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, Shun will take the order!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "There are few of us, but there are many of them! After the moment that Boguang said, I thought that after the other party rectified his morale, he would definitely attack the city with all his might! When the time comes, there will be people attacking from all sides of Ju County, and I need to divide the labor! ”
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "I'll take my life!" ”
Gao Shun nodded and said, "Okay!" Boguang, you and Hao Zhao are in charge of all the way! I think it shouldn't be a problem with your 300 personal soldiers! Sun Guan and Yin Li are responsible for all the way, Xiahou Bo and Wei Yan all the way, and I myself all the way! We are four people, and we have 3,000 people each! Sun Botai led the rest of the soldiers and horses, responsible for the response, responsible for supporting all directions! Mr. Xianhe, you are responsible for leading the medical battalion to treat the wounded and sick, and you are responsible for organizing the people, helping to defend the city, and transporting the equipment to defend the city! What do you think? Who has an opinion? ”
Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Order!" ”
Next, everyone dispersed and went their own way!
In the house, only Lu Bu and Tian Fan were left!
Tian Fan said: "Fengxian, this time, you must be more careful!" If something happens to you, I don't know what to do with Xin'er! ”
Lu Bu smiled weirdly and said, "Hehe, what is there to explain?" Besides, I'm not a muddy person, a person who can be injured, and I haven't been born yet! ”
After a pause, he put away the weird smile on his face and said, "Boguang, I, Lu Bu, am not a fool!" Like you said, before, it was the strong desire in my heart that blinded me! But now, you have given me a long-term plan, and the glimmer of desire in my heart that can influence my thoughts and actions is gone, and naturally, I will be more stable than before! Don't worry, the current Lu Bu is no longer the previous Lu Bu! ”…,
Tian Fan nodded and said, "That's fine!" Hehe, however, I did find that you didn't give the same before! Well, that's a good sign! In other words, I am full of expectations for your performance in this war! ”
Lu Bu smiled, nodded, and said, "Don't worry!" I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! ”
Maybe it's because he has a goal in his heart, or maybe it's because he wants to be a father again, Lu Bu has become much more stable! In case of trouble, I also began to use my brain! Sometimes, the things that come up with his different kind of brain are very spitting, but after all, he is starting to use his brain! This is a good sign!
The title of "Fengxian", Tian Fan always feels awkward, in fact, not only him, almost everyone in Liu Beijun feels awkward, Zhang Fei and other people who have an iron relationship with the two of them have also asked specifically, which makes Tian Fan very ashamed!
However, Lu Bu insisted on letting him be called so, and he didn't have the slightest choice! Lu Bu's original words were, as long as Xin'er is not in front of you, you will continue to call me Fengxian! Perhaps, he didn't want to lose such a confidant, right?
This incident has become a joke among Liu Beijun! A word for your father-in-law? This kind of funny thing, only Lu Bu would ask for this, Tian Fan would be obedient!
Ten days ago, the city gate of Juxian County was under martial law! Only enter, not out! This is to prevent Yuan Tan's spies from probing the information here! And three days ago, the city gates were closed tightly, and the drawbridge was closed!
At this time, it was the suspension bridge that "creaked" down, and the city gate was also opened by a dozen soldiers, and a long convoy was opened! The people who escorted the convoy attracted the attention of the people! That's three hundred knights in iron armor, and a thousand foot soldiers!
Hundreds of carts, heading south! The three hundred knights scattered and detected suspicious people within thirty miles of the surrounding area...... In other words, as long as you meet someone, it must be suspicious! Now is the time to prepare for war, Liu Bei has already ordered that all personnel must not appear on the road, otherwise they will be punished as spies! Around the four main battle cities, all the countryside or tuntian and other places have been emptied! Everyone, either go into the city or go to their relatives!
This small detachment of escorting supplies headed south, and no one found it!
