。。。 I'm going to Zhengzhou tomorrow, and it's estimated that it will be very late to come back, so I won't change it...

——

Noticing Ju Sheng's strange expression, Pan Xianer knew that he had misunderstood himself, and said with a smile: "Lord Gongying will be tomorrow, and he has no objection to the matter of going south, just like Lord Zhao. It's just that there is a slight difference in opinion on when to go south and how to capture Xuzhou. ”

"Oh? Mr. Pan, please speak. ”

"I have read this secret decree carefully, what does my lord mean? It seems that he wants to wait until after the capture of Shanzhou, and then take Xuzhou in the south. Ju-sama, is that so? ”

"Yes, that's what it means."

Ju Sheng remembered something, and added: "At this morning's court meeting, one or two adults proposed, saying, 'Soldiers, treacherous ways', it is better to take the opportunity of fighting Shanzhou to take Xuzhou first, this is for 'dark Chen Cang', if you do this, you will definitely save a lot of effort." However, because at present, after all, Shanzhou is the top priority, so, for the sake of safety, the lord did not adopt this policy. ”

Pan Xian'er smiled, clasped his fists, saluted in the direction of Yidu, and said, "The lord is wise!" In the final analysis, taking Xuzhou south is, after all, the next strategy of our Haidong, and of course it cannot affect the current decisive battle in Shanzhou. However, from the humble point of view, this is also because there are two pieces of information that have not yet reached Yidu, so the lord will make this decision. ”

Ju Sheng was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" What do you mean by 'there are two pieces of information that have not yet reached Yidu'? Which two pieces of information? Why? Is there another change on the front line? ”

"Exactly." While answering, Pan Xianer looked at Zhao Guo.

Zhao Guo nodded and said to Ju Sheng: "Indeed, there have indeed been two changes. Mr. Pan, you, you go on, tell Lord Ju. ”

"Yes."

Pan Xian'er responded respectfully, then continued the topic and continued: "These two pieces of information, one is that Chuqiu has been conquered by General Gao, captured Sainchi Dahu, Cai Ziying and others, and beheaded Hu Linchi. ”

"Take Sainchi?"

"Not bad."

Ju Sheng was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "When is this happening?" ”

"This evening, I just got the news."

"Can you send it to Yidu?"

"At the same time as he got the news, Lord Zhao chose a fast horse and divided it into two routes, all the way to Tai'an and all the way to Yidu."

"Good, good, that's great news! Haha, Sain Chida was captured, and the capture of Shanzhou is just around the corner! ......, what about Wang Baobao? Didn't you catch it? ”

He escaped and is still missing. However, Lord Zhao has also sent people to investigate. ”

Ju Sheng hugged his fists and saluted, and said to Zhao Guo with a smile: "Juye's victory, Shanzhou's field victory, and now you're capturing Saiyin Chidahu, Lord Zhao, since you went deep into Jining alone, you are really invincible and invincible!" And these contributions are really not small, and they are all great achievements! Now, the fall of Shanzhou City must have been a matter of the past three or two days. After conquering Shanzhou, go south to Xuzhou! Ah, I really don't know what to say! It's just hateful, I didn't go out with the adults in the first place, otherwise, I would have been able to touch your light a little! ......, haha, haha. ”

Zhao Guo smiled modestly and said, "This, this is all the soldier's life, and he relies on Mr. Pan's clever plan." Heaven and heaven are great achievements, and I really dare not take them. ”

"Your Excellency is too humble!"

After saying a few words, Ju Sheng picked up the topic, asked Pan Xianer again, and said, "My lord said that there are two pieces of information, this is the first, and the other is the second?" ”

Pan Xian'er turned to the left and right, ordered the people in the tent to retreat, and then said: "My lord doesn't know, this second piece of information is about Wu Jun." ”

When he ordered people to retreat, Ju Sheng had already vaguely guessed that this second piece of information must be a secret thing, and after listening to his short sentence, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and his spirit suddenly became highly concentrated, and said: "Is it about Wu Jun?" What happened to Wu Jun? ”

At that moment, Pan Xianer told Lan Yu about the change of color when he heard "Chuqiu" that day, and told Zhao Zhao to Wuying, and talked about "Chuqiu" to Chang Yuchun, but Chang Yuchun's face did not move. Ju Sheng frowned and said, "Lan Yu smelled 'Chu Qiu' and changed color? Do you often meet spring and your face does not move? ”

"yes."

Ju Sheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked Zhao Guo and Pan Xianer, and said, "Lord Zhao, Lord Pan, what do you two think about this?" ”

"Humble analysis, Wu Jun must have a conspiracy. But what exactly it is, because of the lack of information, it is difficult to figure out for a while. But what is certain is that this time the Wu army traveled thousands of miles to help us, it is definitely not so simple; Moreover, their conspiracy is very likely related to Chu Qiu. ”

Ju Sheng thought carefully for a while, and then said, "Master Pan, you are right. Lan Yu was young and couldn't hold her breath, so she changed color when she heard the words; And there is often a city in spring, so it is nothing. But compared with the two, it is more and more lined out that Chang Yuchun is here without three hundred taels of silver, which is the so-called 'want to cover up'! ”

Zhao Guo said: "No, yes, the same is true of my analysis with Mr. Pan. Only, only, what is Wu Jun's plotter? Eyes, now, but not yet. ”

"Chuqiu, a small city, is adjacent to the Yellow River and is located in the southernmost part of Jining. Truth be told, this place is not only small, but it also doesn't have much value. Wu Jun came all the way here, and it would never be just for this place! So, it speculates that it must have bigger plans. ”

"So, what exactly is it up to?"

Pan Xianer and Zhao have been thinking about this question for a long time, but they are not roundworms in Wu Jun's stomach after all, so no matter how they speculate, they can't guess. I guessed several, but none of them were certain. Pan Xian'er picked up the secret report and said: "Based on the analysis of Lord Zhao and the humble position, it is possible that the greater plan of the Wu army is to occupy a stronghold north of the Yellow River; It is also possible that he wanted to echo Xu Da all the way west to Henan. At the same time, there is another possibility. ”

"What is it?"

"That is, Wu Jun also wants Xuzhou!"

"Wu Jun also wants Xuzhou?"

Pan Xianer is indeed a talent, starting from a little clue, after two days of long thinking, he actually guessed Wu Jun's true intentions! Although he can't be sure yet, it's already quite remarkable.

"Yes!"

Ju Sheng walked to the map hanging in the tent, picked up a pen, and pointed, "Your Excellency, please take a look." ......, this is Jinling, here is Xuzhou, and here is Chuqiu. This is Jining Road. From Jinling to Jining Road, separated by Xuzhou and other places, these territories are now mostly in the hands of Zhang Shicheng. No matter how stupid Wu Guogong is, it is impossible for him to separate Zhang Shicheng and come to our Jining Road to occupy an enclave. From this, it can be ruled out that the real intention of the Wu army was to occupy the southern part of Jining, such as Shanzhou. ”

"Well, that makes sense. You go on to say. ”

"Since it is impossible to occupy the entire southern part of Jining, why is Wu Jun so interested in a small Chuqiu? ......, please look again, this is Chuqiu, this is Xuzhou. These two places face each other across the Yellow River, and the distance between them is not too far. So, I thought, could Wu Jun's true intention actually be Xuzhou? ”

"Why Xuzhou? You just mentioned other possibilities, maybe you just want to occupy a stronghold on the north bank of the Yellow River? Or do you want to echo Xu Da's entry into Henan? ”

"Just like the analysis of the humble and suitable talents, it is impossible for Wu Guogong to go so far to occupy an enclave in our Jining, so the saying that 'I just want to occupy a stronghold in Hebei' is not very valid. And if it is 'want to echo Xu Da's entry into Henan', even if it occupies a Chuqiu, it is useless? Is it used as a logistical supply site? What can Chu Qiu give it up? Is it used to guard the flanks? With our Haidong here, his flanks are definitely safe, do you need to do more? Besides, a small Chuqiu, with a garrison of more than 1,000 people, can't look at any flanks! Therefore, I think that these two may not be able to say that there are none, but it is indeed unlikely. ”

"What about Xuzhou?"

"Xuzhou is different." Speaking of the military, this is the second chief of Pan Xian, he said eloquently, "First of all, it is said that Xuzhou and Chuqiu are across the river, and the distance between the two places is not too far. Secondly, if Xuzhou is occupied by Jinling, it will be of great benefit to Jinling!

"......, Lord Ju, please see, Xuzhou is below Shandong, above western Zhejiang, located in a key position, and its strategic position is very important. If Jinling wins Xuzhou, the first one, Zhang Shicheng will definitely be suppressed by Wu Guogong, and there will be no day to turn over.

"Secondly, there is a saying that 'since ancient times, Pengcheng has been listed in Kyushu, and dragons have fought for thousands of years'. Chen Wujiyun, a Song man: 'The land of Pengcheng, the southern code is slightly Henan, Shandong; The northern code overlooks Huaisi, so the soldiers are important places to attack and defend'. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people even believed that 'the gains and losses of Pengcheng were related to the prosperity and decline of the north and the south'. This shows the importance of Xuzhou! Don't say anything else, let's not mention that after Xuzhou, Jinling can suppress Zhang Shicheng, only 'the southern code omits Henan and Shandong; The Northern Code overlooks Huaisi's one, which is enough for Wu Guogong to try his best to get it! ”

Pengcheng, that is, the ancient name of Xuzhou.

Ju Sheng looked at the map carefully, sighed for a long time, and said: "Mr. is really discerning, and the analysis is really penetrating. ”

"How dare you, your lordship praises you."

"......, I already know the 'two pieces of information' that Mr. said. So, what kind of changes should be made to take Xuzhou's policy? ”

"A little bit of humble opinion, no matter whether Wu Jun wants to secretly plot against Xuzhou, if we really want to take Xuzhou, it's best to start acting immediately!"

"Immediately?"

"First of all, Sain Chi Da has been captured by our army, although Wang Baobao does not know his whereabouts for the time being, but the phoenix that has lost his hair is not as good as a chicken, forgive him a defeated general who escaped, and his subordinates are short of soldiers and young soldiers, and he can't make any big waves. As Lord Ju said, the city of Shanzhou will be in the middle of the day! It can be said that it is already nine times out of ten. Therefore, the offensive against Shanzhou City, in fact, there is no need to rush now. ”

"Don't be in a hurry?"

"Yes! It is time to take this opportunity to have a 'sound of the east and the west'. On the bright side, Shanzhou was surrounded with great fanfare; Secretly, send an elite path to Xuzhou. With humble materials, the Xuzhou guards will be unprepared, and the city will be between the backhands! It's definitely a breeze. ”

"However, Xuzhou is a big city."

"What's the use of a city no matter how big it is? The defenders of the city, the people. I want to fight in the field of Shanzhou, and tens of thousands of elites of the enemy and me are fighting fiercely under the rain, starting from the hour and going straight into the night. The level of the battle was so fierce that the news must have already reached Xuzhou. The defenders of Xuzhou must have thought that our army was exhausted and continued to recuperate; Even if you don't cultivate, the next step is definitely to continue to attack Shanzhou; Besides, our Haidong and Zhang Shicheng have never fought each other, and they are not hostile relations, and they will definitely not be defenseless. ......, he is unprepared and I am prepared, and I have no intentions. And with the power of a great victory for our army, why not be victorious? ”

Ju Sheng pondered and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable. But? He turned his eyes to look at Zhao Guo.

For a long time just now, most of the time it was Pan Xianer who was talking, and Zhao Guo was very quiet, but everything that should be said was done, and it was time to make a decision, and he still had to do it.

Yes, according to Pan Xianer's analysis, it seems that it is indeed the most correct choice to encircle Danzhou without fighting and send troops to attack Xuzhou.

But the right thing is not necessarily what can be done. The situation on the battlefield is often negligent, and although it seems that it is in the best interest to take Xuzhou first, who can guarantee that there will be no change? In case there is a change, Xuzhou is not defeated, and Shanzhou is not defeated, who is responsible for this?

If one is not done well, the "great achievement" will become the "great achievement"!

Ju Sheng and Pan Xianer both looked at Zhao Guo, and the tent was very quiet.

Zhao Guo sat on the seat, his face was like sinking water, he looked at the map for a while, then looked away, swept the faces of Ju Sheng and Pan Xianer one by one, and said very calmly: "I, I agree with Mr. Pan's proposal." ”

Ju Sheng kindly reminded him and said, "Mr. Pan's opinion is to send troops 'immediately'. If the army is sent 'immediately', it is certainly impossible to know the opinion of the lord. Lord Zhao, if you are the lord? ”

"If the lord and the lord had been punished, they would have borne it alone."

"Outside the general, the military order is not subject to it." This sentence is simple to say, but if you really do it, people who don't have a little responsibility will definitely not be able to do it.

Pan Xian'er said: "The humble position said that it was 'immediately' to send troops, but in fact, it is estimated that the earliest troops will be sent tomorrow night." It is necessary to select the main general and set the military horses to attack, and it is not possible to go out during the day, so as not to alarm the Wu army. ......, Lord Zhao, why don't we send a letter to the lord tonight, if we go back and forth faster, maybe we can receive a reply tomorrow night?" ”

Pan Xianer is no better than Zhao, he doesn't dare to take this responsibility. Although he talked endlessly during the analysis, and Zhao Guo also said "If there is a punishment, one person will bear it", but when it came to the matter, Zhao Guo really decided to do it, but he was a little nervous, and his intuition was beating a drum in his heart.

Zhao Guo smiled and said, "Today, tonight, I will send a letter to the lord, this is natural." No, but, no matter whether you can receive a reply from the lord tomorrow night and take Xuzhou, that's it! ”
