Hurried footsteps sounded outside Shouchun City, and a soldier quickly ran to the mansion and bowed to Qiao Rui, who was sitting on the main seat.

"General Qiyu"

"Traces of a large-scale movement of enemy troops outside the city were found"

"There seem to be signs of a division of troops"

The voice echoed in his ears, and the soldier said loudly to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui gradually frowned, revealing a puzzled gaze. Division? At this time, the troops were actually divided? Is there something deep in it? Or is there something very important that I have overlooked?

Seeing Qiao Rui lost in thought, the soldier bowed to him, turned around and walked outside.

Looking at the departing back, Qiao Rui's gaze moved to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and a tricky feeling spread.

"Why do you think Jia Yuzhang wants to divide his troops at this time?"

"This?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fell into contemplation at the same time.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he figured out something almost instantly. A map of Yangzhou appeared in his heart, and he said to Qiao Rui while deducing.

"More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of our army are stationed in Shouchun, relying on Shouchun Jiancheng to resist Jia Yuzhang's 15,000 people. Now that Jia Yuzhang has divided his troops, if he expects it to be good, he will inevitably attack the Lujiang County Government, and the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Lujiang at that time are afraid that they will be defeated."

After waving his army north, he attacked Xia Cai. cut off the supply of grain and grass to Shouchun in Yuzhou, and sit back and watch our army fall into a desperate situation and collapse without a fight"

"If the situation develops to that point, it will be detrimental to our army"

Zhou Yu said slowly.

Qiao Rui's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Why did Gong Jin conclude that Jia Yuzhang would divide his troops to attack the Lujiang County Mansion?"

"Lu Kang has been operating Lujiang for more than ten years, and the residual power has not completely dissipated, so how can it be possible if the division of troops is not a surprise attack on Lujiang at this time. Moreover, part of the troops in the south of the Yangtze River were dragged in the Lujiang River, and once they swept through the entire territory of the Lujiang River, more than 10,000 troops attacked at that time, and Jia Yuzhang's troops formed a flanking attack. The total number of troops is no less than 30,000, how can the general resist? ”

Zhou Yu asked.

Qiao Rui's brows furrowed a little tighter.

"According to what Gong Jin said, wouldn't our army be in a desperate situation?"

"Since this is the case, it is better to strike first, since Jia Nian'er divides the troops, presumably there will not be too many soldiers and horses outside the city. The surprise attack of the soldiers of Shouchun will be able to succeed in one battle"

"Never"

Sun Ce couldn't help but interject and said to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui is an important force that he can rely on, and if he loses, it will be an intolerable loss for himself. Besides, since Jia Nian dared to divide his troops, he must have a certain amount of support. If you say that you don't have the slightest defense, no matter who it is, you won't believe it.

"The General Thinks Twice"

"Jia Yuzhang must have many arrangements for the division of troops, maybe an ambush has been set up at this time, waiting for the main force of our army to be exhausted."

Zhou Yu said to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui's face sank completely, thinking in her mind, and then let out a light sigh.

"What about our army? Did you immediately fly a pigeon to report to the Lujiang County Government? ”

"Jia Yuzhang divides the troops, and the general trend of Lujiang is determined, even if we remind the soldiers and horses stationed in Lujiang, it will be useless. It's better to find another way to recapture the Lujiang River and regain the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Zhou Yu said this, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, how could the situation be critical and not feel so terrible in a blink of an eye.

"Even if Jia Yuzhang swept the Lujiang River, he would not dare to rashly attack Yuzhou in the face of Shouchun. That is to say, as long as I live in the spring for one day, the threat of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to reach the territory of Yuzhou."

"Therefore, the general does not have to worry about Yuzhou"

"Outside the city, the troops attacked the Lujiang County Government, jumped out of Yangzhou to see, Shouchun is not as stable as Mount Tai. As long as the state pastor defeats the soldiers of Jingzhou, it will be Jia Yuzhang's death. And in order to prevent unpredictable dangers, please send a letter to Xuzhou to ask Xuzhou to send troops to build a business."

"In this way, when I heard that the Xuzhou soldiers were coming to Jianye, Jia Yuzhang was bound to be in a hurry, so he could only evacuate in a hurry."

"The danger of my longevity is lifted"

Zhou Yu talked eloquently.

Qiao Rui seemed to have caught something from these words, and her spirit couldn't help but be shocked. Xuzhou? Gangnam? Now the troops of Jiangnan have been exhausted, which means that as long as Xuzhou sends troops, Jiangnan can be easily taken. Although there is a Qingzhou Yellow Turban on the side, it is not a problem for Xuzhou to send a partial division. But is it really willing to buy Xuzhou for nothing? Isn't that just a lot of work?

Countless thoughts crossed her mind, and Qiao Rui thought quickly.

"Isn't that wrong?"

"Why?"

"Once Xuzhou attacks Jiangnan, won't our army complete Xuzhou?"

"Could it be that if the general doesn't leave a letter, Xuzhou won't send troops? They don't covet the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River? ”

Zhou Yu asked rhetorically at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui gasped and quickly shook her head.

"If you can't stop it, why not go with the flow? If Jia Yuzhang retreated, the general could follow, and it would be difficult to say who this Jiangnan belonged to at that time. After all, the 30,000 army in Jiangnan is not so easy to deal with."

"Driving tigers and devouring wolves?"

Sun Ce understood almost instantly.

Qiao Rui was also slowly pondering these four words, and her eyes were filled with a look of reason. There is no doubt that Zhou Yu moved himself, although the troops outside the city were divided, the main force was still there. Moreover, even if the flying pigeon passed the book, in the face of three attacks, the loss of Lujiang has become a foregone conclusion. To be precise, when the Marquis of Hefei was lost, it was already doomed.

Now listening to Zhou Gongjin's strategy, it is not a good choice to send troops to Jiangnan from Xuzhou. When they hear that there is a fire in the backyard, not only will Lujiang and Shouchun be saved, but they will also be able to sit back and watch both sides lose, and they will be able to take the four counties of Jiangnan lightly.

At that time, the situation underwent a fundamental reversal, and the offense and defense also changed. Even without the help of the lord, the established strategy of conquering Jiangnan can be completed.

"Gongjin's words are reasonable"

"I just don't know who can be the messenger?"

Qiao Rui asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hurriedly shook his head.

"No matter who is the messenger, it is not appropriate, it is better to fly the pigeon directly to Xuzhou and the state pastor's mansion, maybe it will be in time to be in time."

"Pigeon Biography?"

Qiao Rui quickly weighed it in her heart. Although this may seem rude, the situation is ever-changing. If you can't react as quickly as possible, once Jia Nian'er reacts, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?

"Someone Coming"

"In"

"Take a bamboo slip and a pen"

"No"

Two soldiers walked over with blank bamboo slips and a pen in their hands, and respectfully handed them to Qiao Rui.

Without thinking, Qiao Rui reached out and took the blank bamboo slip and pen into his hand, and then stretched out his hand to spread out the bamboo slip and began to write it.

After a while, when the last handwriting fell, he handed it to the two soldiers and commanded them.

"Write it into a silk book, and the flying pigeon will be reported to Xuzhou Mu"

"No"

A soldier respectfully took the bamboo slip, then turned around and walked outside with a robe.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce saw that Qiao Rui was a little tired, so they bowed and strode away. Now that the right thing has been done, the next thing is to be patient. Jia Yuzhang divided his troops and killed himself, hoping that Xuzhou would not miss the opportunity.
