Chapter 564: Strategy First
Sun Quan listened to Wu Jing's persuasion, while concentrating on entering the spiritual world, at this moment Lu Bu, only two blood left, a total of five blood, he can be called a seriously injured state, even if he continues to pursue, I believe that Lu Bu will be difficult to fight again, Lu Bu is not just a one-person force, he is also the spiritual pillar of the entire Lu Bu Legion, with Lu Bu and without Lu Bu, the combat effectiveness of the Lu Bu Legion is two completely different concepts. Therefore, Sun Quan is really reluctant to take such a good opportunity.
Just now, if it weren't for the army that Lu Bu was ambushing in the distance in advance to hear the movement, he rushed over in time to rescue and broke through the encirclement arranged by Sun Quan, otherwise, Sun Quan would have given Lu Bu and his cavalry a pot long ago.
The rabbit that had already reached the bowl ran away at the end, how could Sun Quan be willing.
The most important thing is that if Sun Quan is not bad, Cao Cao will soon lead a large army to attack Lu Bu, if he doesn't take the opportunity to solve Lu Bu at this time, won't he make a wedding dress for Cao Cao in vain?
The January period of the spiritual world is prone to too many variables, and Sun Quan really can't wait. Moreover, after January, in the next round of the game, Sun Quan may not be able to draw a good card, and then successfully kill Lu Bu in the illusion. Only by killing Yan Baihu and taking action in person is the safest plan for Sun Quan.
In addition, even if you don't mention the benefits of Lu Bu to Sun Quan, now, the entire large area of Xuzhou is almost like a beautiful girl lying there waiting for Sun Quan. If Sun Quan can seize the opportunity, defeat Lu Bu, and successfully resist Cao Cao, at that time, half of the country will be in the hands of the Sun family, and the Sun family, who unified the entire south, can be completely comparable to Yuan Shao, who unified the north, and in the end, Cao Cao, who is sandwiched in the middle, will have no way to retreat.
"How feasible is it to collect the remnants of Lu Bu's army while pursuing?" Sun Quan asked.
Hearing Sun Quan's question, Wu Jing knew that Sun Quan still did not give up and wanted to take advantage of the situation to invade Xuzhou.
"It's not very feasible." Wu Jingyi replied, "Although Lu Bu is injured and defeated now, he still has the entire Xuzhou as his backing, and he is not in a desperate situation." Most of the people under his command have followed Lu Bu for a long time, and they are not so easily betrayed. ”
"Then what if Lu Bu dies?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.
"What if Lu Bu dies?" Wu Jing's eyes narrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "If Lu Bu dies, maybe there will be a small number of die-hard loyalists who will think about avenging Lu Bu, but the vast majority of them believe that they are people who know the times, and the possibility of surrender should be very great." ”
"Don't forget, we still have Chen Deng as a hostage." Sun Quan reminded Wu Jing and said, "Send someone to secretly contact Chen Jue to see if he can act as an internal response, otherwise, his son won't want it." ”
"Yes." Wu Jing nodded, and then said, "But just one Chen Jue, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”
Sun Quan waved his hand,
"There is no problem in Xuzhou, there have been several changes of masters, and those scholars are probably used to it for a long time. Only one Chen Jue needs to take the lead, and the rest will just come naturally. Sun Quan said, "Therefore, the most important thing is to defeat Lu Bu on the frontal battlefield." Although Lu Bu was defeated this time, there were still tens of thousands of troops under his command, and it was indeed too difficult for us to conquer Lu Bu in Guangling. However, now we are not just one Guangling. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Jing's face changed, could it be that Sun Quan really wants to transfer troops from Jiangdong? He is not afraid of the emptiness of the base camp, but is he seized the opportunity by Shanyue to make trouble on his belly?
It is true that there is a lack of people with lofty ideals in Shanyue, and they may not be able to see such opportunities, but it is precisely because of this that simple Shanyue talents are more likely to be instigated and used. You must know that whether it is inside Jiangdong or outside Jiangdong, there are not many people who secretly collude with Shanyue and try to make trouble for the Sun family!
However, Wu Jing's worries are obviously superfluous, because Sun Quan is not interested in the Jiangdong base camp, but-
"Shouchun!"
"Call Yang Hong and Zhang Xun, I want to ask how many available soldiers are left in Shouchun!" Sun Quan commanded, "Yuan Shu has fought with Lu Bu and Cao Cao before and after, and although he was defeated in the end, he believes that the remnants of the army that have gradually gathered back after such a long time will not be a small number." Isn't Shouchun short of food, they definitely can't afford to raise so many soldiers, they can't afford to raise them, so let's help them raise them. It just so happens that Yang Hong and Zhang Xun are here, so it is easy to co-opt, and we can't help but do things when we eat! ”
"This... It's also possible. Wu Jing's eyes flickered, and he began to calculate silently in his heart, "Now Shouchun's troops, it stands to reason that they will not be less than ours, not to mention one or two thousand, and if you incorporate Yuan Shu's old troops and remnants along the way, you can even have thirty or fifty thousand along the way, which is enough to fight against the Lu Bu army with poor morale." Merely...... ”
Wu Jing soon became worried again,
"Doing so will inevitably transfer all Shouchun's troops, so what should Shouchun do after that? In addition, with the sudden increase in so many troops, I am afraid that our food and grass will also be tight, and the supply will be insufficient. ”
"Shouchun can be left alone, just leave it there. Cao Cao wanted it, and gave it to him directly. The current Cao Cao, even if he takes Shouchun, he doesn't dare to do anything, as long as the line from Lujiang to Guangling is still in our hands, Jiangdong will be stable. Moreover, the occupation of Shouchun will only disperse Cao Cao's troop deployment, which is not conducive to his strategic layout focusing on Yuan Shao, so Shouchun is a chicken rib for Cao Cao today, in my opinion, Cao Cao will not only not occupy Shouchun, but will also sell us a good one by the way and seal Shouchun to us. Sun Quan said, "Therefore, the focus of our relationship with Cao Cao will actually be on Xuzhou's side, and whoever can seize Xuzhou as soon as possible is the key!" ”
"What about the grain and grass?" Wu Jing asked again.
Sun Quan smiled,
"Xuzhou is the granary of the world, and when Xuzhou is defeated, why worry about not being able to support these tens of thousands of soldiers? Besides, even if we don't fight Xuzhou, this Yuan Shu soldier, do you think my eldest brother doesn't want it? It's not like you're going to raise it! Jiangdong is so big, there is always a squeeze. ”
"The stakes are so high that you'd better write a letter and tell your eldest brother personally. In addition, it is not a trivial matter for you to do your best to serve as a soldier of Shouchun, in case your eldest brother has other plans, don't mess with his plans. Wu Jing finally reminded Sun Quan.
Sun Quan frowned, there was no phone in ancient times, and a letter, even if it was agreed directly, it would take a lot of time, in case of a few more arguments, the daylily would be cold. Now Sun Ce is not staying in Wu County, but in the forefront of the west, on the other hand, Sun Quan, in the easternmost part, the two are too far apart, and it is really easy to delay the fighter.
"I wrote a letter to the past, but the time was too short to wait for a response from there, so I had to cut it first and then play it. Shouchun is close to Xuzhou, and it is a charcoal in the snow to attack Xuzhou, and taking Shouchun's troops to attack Jingzhou can only be the icing on the cake. With this kind of opportunity, I believe my eldest brother will make the same choice. Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Moreover, in my opinion, seizing Xuzhou is the number one strategy now, as long as Xuzhou is completely occupied, Cao Cao will not be able to rashly start a war against us." As for Jingzhou, it is completely possible to wait for Cao Cao to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and then slowly plot. ”
