Chapter 54: Stalemate
"See the lord!" Ten days later, Guangling, Zhang Liao's Taishou Mansion, looked at Lu Bu who had been in the dust all the way, and Zhang Liao took a group of civil and military officers from Guangling to pay homage to Lu Bu.
"When the march is out, there is no need to be polite." Lu Bu stretched out his hand and helped him, sat straight at the position of his upper hand, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "How is the battle going?" ”
"Tanglin Pavilion has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, and now Sun Ce is constantly transferring soldiers and horses, these days, there has been Jiangdong general Tai Shici to provoke, and the last general has not been in battle." Zhang Liao said with a smile.
Tai Shi Ci?
Lu Bu chewed on this name, in his previous life, this name was gradually revealed after his death, he was by Liu Bei's side, and he also knew something, but what the final result was, Lu Bu didn't know.
"I can't stay for a long time when I come this time, I want to lure that Sun Ce out and kill him, what plan does Wen Yuan have to help me?" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, among the generals under his command, Gao Shun was good at governing the army, but Zhang Liao was good at strategy, he was a wise general under Lu Bu, and when the army was marching and fighting, Lu Bu would ask Zhang Liao for advice.
"That Sun Ce is quite strategic, and it is difficult to lure him out of ordinary strategies." Zhang Liao frowned and thought about it, since the garrison of Guangling, although he and Jiangdong have not had a big war, but the friction is constant, and he also understands Sun Ce, although this person has a strong temperament, he is not the kind of person who only knows how to blindly attack, and he is quite stable in using troops.
Lu Bu frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't know much about Sun Ce, after his death in his previous life, Jiangdong didn't take long to become Sun Quan's master, compared to Sun Ce, he knew Zhou Yu more deeply.
Chen Deng is familiar with Sun Ce, and at this moment, he explained some of Sun Ce's skills to Lu Bu, and also made Sun Ce's image gradually plump up in Lu Bu's heart, and he no longer stayed at a name.
"Now Sun Ce is attacking Guangling, from the point of view of Deng, I am afraid that it is not only for the land of Guangling, this person has a heroic temperament, but he is also quite ambitious, and the capture of Guangling is probably only the first step of Sun Ce, and his plan, I am afraid that the same as the lord, is also going to Xuchang, wanting to take advantage of the fierce battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, to compete for the Son of Heaven." Chen Deng said to Lu Bu with a smile beside him.
"The land of Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and there are mountains and more perennial chaos, Jiangdong scholars and even the people are extremely xenophobic, this place can defend itself, but if you want to succeed, you can't just rely on Jiangdong, you must take the lead before the Central Plains pattern is set, if Sun Ce can capture Xuzhou, Jiangdong will have the opportunity to seize an opportunity before Yuan Cao and Yuan Cao divide the victory, then Jiangdong will be the foundation, Xuzhou is the front line, and Yuan and Cao can divide the world and compete for the Central Plains."
"If you can grab the Son of Heaven and occupy the name of righteousness, it will be like a tiger with wings for Sun Ce, but if you want to win the Son of Heaven, you need to protect the back road, and Guangling is the place where Sun Ce must win."
Lu Bu silently listened to Chen Deng's analysis of the current situation, but he had a good impression of Sun Ce in his heart, not only daring to act, but also daring to think, if there was no Chen Deng's analysis and clarifying the current situation in the world for Lu Bu, Lu Bu probably would not have thought of robbing the Son of Heaven, but I don't know if this is Sun Ce's idea or Zhou Yu's help in planning.
"If this person is not removed, he will be in great trouble for our army one day!" Chen Deng looked at Lu Bu in contemplation and said in a deep voice.
"Since it is difficult to lure the enemy, don't force it, so as not to make mistakes in your busyness, continue to fight according to your plan, and don't play my banner to the outside world." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liaodao.
In his twenty years of ghost career, he had seen many characters who had made mistakes because of the king's orders, and since he couldn't murder them with surprise, Lu Bu had to think of another way.
"Whoa!" Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the Tanglin Pavilion includes the waterways in the Guangling area, he is still in the exploration stage of this kind of terrain warfare, if he rashly attacks, it will only be unfavorable to his own side, Chen Deng has been stationed in Guangling for several years, and he has always been mainly defensive, it is not unreasonable.
"Let's go!" Lu Bu got up and walked out with Hao Zhao.
"Where's the lord?" Zhang Liao got up and wondered.
"The battle of Guangling can't be delayed for too long, I'll go see if there is a chance to capture Sun Ce." Lu Butou didn't reply.
"Lord!" Zhang Liao grabbed the two, stopped Lu Bu and frowned: "The lord is now in Xuzhou to safety, and he must not take risks!" ”
"Wen Yuan, don't worry, if I want to leave, who in the world can stop me?" Lu Bu pointed to the door and said with a smile: "Besides, there are more than 1,000 elite horsemen here, although I have never seen Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but if you want to stop me, it is absolutely impossible." ”
For his own ability, Lu Bu has absolute confidence, which has been established in the process of killing and victorious, Cao Cao failed to destroy it, and Sun Ce is even more impossible.
Looking at Lu Bu's long and long figure, Zhang Liao could only smile helplessly, although the battle of Xiapi made Lu Bu much more stable, but it also re-energized his former invincible state, but I don't know if this change is a blessing or a curse?
"Someone!" After thinking about it, Zhang Liao was still a little uneasy, he was ready to push the battle line forward, and if there was anything in case, Zhang Liao could also respond to Lu Bu in time.
……
Tanglin Pavilion is only 30 miles away from Guangling City, but in the meantime the waterway is vertical and horizontal, Xuzhou has no water army, mainly infantry and cavalry, this kind of terrain, for Zhang Liao, who is used to fighting in the north, is very uncomfortable, is to give up the Tanglin Pavilion to Sun Ce, Zhang Liao's defense is to Guangling mainly spread around, and the wall is clear, all the households along the river are moved to the rear to prevent the influence of Jiangdong soldiers and horses to spread to Guangling.
In the military tent of Tanglin Pavilion, looking at the map in front of him, Sun Ce was a little depressed, threw away the pen in his hand, looked at Zhou Yu on the side and said: "I thought he was just a reckless man, I didn't want this Zhang Liao to be so cautious, it was clear that he wanted to follow that Chen Yuanlong, and he couldn't defend it and not fight with our army." ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled noncommittally: "Lu Bu is extremely a general, all of them are northerners, not good at water warfare, the terrain from Tanglin Pavilion to Guangling is not suitable for cavalry galloping, the other party will be so armed, Bo Fu should be prepared." ”
"It's just that if you go on like this, when will you be able to capture Guangling?" Sun Ce said a little unpleasantly.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he dragged his chin and pondered: "Cao Cao resists the strong with the weak, this battle is bound to not be too long, and there is not much time left for us, but this matter should not be impatient, you can send someone to Runan to meet Liu Bei, and attack from both sides, if Liu Bei's side can be slightly contained, this battle will be much easier." ”
Although it has not yet been fought, but judging from the current arrangement, Zhang Liao is indeed not easy to deal with, Jiangdong soldiers and horses are good at water warfare, but it is not good at attacking cities, and in the face of a military general like Zhang Liao, Zhou Yu does not dare to take it lightly.
Sun Ce stood up and walked out a little bored.
"Where's Bo Fu?" Zhou Yu stopped Sun Cedao.
"Go hunting around and breathe." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Is Gong Jin going with you?" ”
"Now that the two families are at war, how can you, as the commander-in-chief, leave the camp lightly? If it is ......" Zhou Yu shook his head and looked at Sun Cedao.
"Gong Jin rest assured, look at the world, if I want to leave, who can stop me?" Sun Ce waved his hand indifferently, and without waiting for Zhou Yu to say more, the people had already been removed from the camp.
"General Ziyi, go and watch some lords, don't let the lords lose!" Zhou Yu said helplessly to Tai Shi Ci on the side.
"Whoa!" Tai Shici got up, saluted Zhou Yu, and chased Sun Ce away.
