Chapter 54: The Soldiers

The next day, in the council hall of the Shouchun General's Mansion, the lineup was complete.

Chen Gong, Chen Deng, and Lu Su are on the left, and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Zang Ba and others are on the right.

Just by looking at this lineup, you can know that Lu Bu attaches great importance to this council.

As a person with a prominent reputation, but no name in the merit book, Lin Mo was hung up as the main bookkeeper and stood behind Lu Su.

There is only one theme for today's parliament, fighting the Lujiang River.

However, the point is not whether to fight or not, but to fight, and this is no longer within the scope of discussion.

The councillors have to discuss how to fight.

Since Cao Cao withdrew his troops, everyone has seen that he has raised the desperate Yuan Shu in captivity and expressed Lu Bu's merits, the purpose is to compete with the fisherman for profit.

Therefore, how many people can go to Lujiang, what if Yuan Shu retaliates at this time, and what should Cao Cao do when the two armies confront each other.

Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Zang Ba and others had the most fierce fighting spirit, claiming that 15,000 people could defeat Liu Xun.

Wei Yue said that he was not convinced, where is the need for so much, now that the prestige is flourishing, 10,000 people are too much.

The generals are eager for meritorious service, this Lu Bu sees in his eyes, they are also the atmosphere group that calls and calls, and if you really want to make a decision, you have to look at the strategist group.

These people who play with their brains often look deeper and know that fighting a war is not based on blood.

Chen Gong suggested that 30,000 people should go to Anhui County with a thunderous force, as long as Anhui County is broken, Lujiang will be the second Jiujiang.

After the Battle of Shouchun, it took more than a month to integrate the Huainan prisoners with the original Xuzhou army, with a total of 45,000 people.

Leaving 15,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, even if Yuan Shu really suddenly attacked, it would be more than enough to support the army back.

Chen Deng suggested that it was enough to go to 20,000 people, mainly to encircle and send reinforcements, not to attack Anhui County, and to clean up one county after entering Lujiang, it depends on whether you Liu Xun can save it or not.

If you don't save it, once the other counties are besieged, they will surrender without even attacking the city.

If Liu Xun leads a large army to come to the rescue, he will fight 20,000 with 20,000, and with the old foundation of the state, the courage of the generals, it will not be a problem to defeat him head-on.

Lu Su praised Chen Deng's strategy, Jiujiang is newly occupied, and more people should be left.

After all, in addition to Yuan Shu, Cao Cao is also an extremely dangerous figure.

Lu Bu, who was sitting in the handsome chair, leaned sideways, his right hand with his chin in contemplation, what the two of them mentioned made sense, Chen Gong wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and did not give Yuan Shu and Cao Cao time to react.

Chen Deng, the main focus is stable, and his strategy really can't find the possibility of failure, that is, it will take a little longer.

Lu Bu, who couldn't make up his mind, set his eyes on Lin Mo, "Yunwen, whether it was Peicheng's defeat of Cao Cao or Shouchun's defeat of Yuan Shu, your strategy can be called a drop of water, why are you silent this time?" ”

Good son-in-law, today is the time for everyone to get to know you in the real sense, don't embarrass me.

Everyone's eyes also followed Lu Bu and fell on Lin Mo's body.

Chen Gong and they are okay, the generals of the general group are inevitably a little contemptuous, and even have a kind of vision in their hearts to look at their sons-in-law, and they don't know if Lu Bu deliberately let him make military achievements in the barracks.

Those so-called tricks and tricks have always been on the way to hearsay, and it is difficult for them who have always believed that seeing is believing, and it is difficult for them to fully agree.

Lin Mo first clenched his fists, and then said truthfully: "Lord Yuyue, the other party leaked the flaws first on the previous two occasions, I just saw the key point, this time Liu Xun just stuck to Lujiang, we made a move, and it cannot be compared." ”

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but show a little scorn on their faces, but they didn't say anything.

Lu Bu's heart sank, and he wouldn't be strained at a critical time.

It's really not good, you can just second, one of the two Chens.

Lu Bu didn't want his son-in-law to be too ugly for the first time, and even gestured with his eyes, "Then you also agree with Gongtai or Yuanlong's strategy?" ”

"Not really."

Lin Mo said unhurriedly: "The son-in-law seconded Wei Duwei's strategy, and it was enough to attack Lujiang with 10,000 strong troops. ”

Chen Gong and Chen Deng looked at each other, their faces full of suspicion.

10,000 people, whether it is a siege or a siege point for reinforcements, is too thin.

Wei Yue smiled, "The heroes see the same thing, we won a big victory before, Liu Xun is already frightened, 10,000 people are enough to beat them all over the ground to find teeth." ”

Lu Bu pursed his lips and stared at Lin Mo, he didn't agree with Wei Yue's words.

After Shouchun changed hands, he wrote a letter to persuade Liu Xun to surrender, but what did people say in reply, if you want to vote for us, you will also vote for the imperial court, why vote?

This is the disadvantage of being from a humble background.

can compete with the imperial court, that is, the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.

No matter how he chooses Liu Xun, he won't look down on Lu Bu.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a chill.

"Are you worried that there will be an abnormality in the Cao army, so you stay behind more than 30,000 people?" Lu Bu said in a muffled voice.

"Zhang Ji led 100,000 troops into Jingxiang in the last year, and died in the battle of Yucheng, after which his nephew Zhang Xiu took over the ministry, and now the soldiers of Wancheng and Liu Biao are allied, and they look at Xuchang.

In addition, after Yuan Shu was defeated and fled, the powerful mountain bandits in Nanyang were divided, and Cao Cao was bound to take this opportunity to march south. ”

Lin Mo's analysis made Chen Gong and the others bow their heads again and again.

Compared with Huainan, Cao Cao was more anxious to clean up the situation at the other end of Nanyang.

"In that case, why only 10,000 troops?"

"Because only in this way can we ensure that we are facing Liu Xun's 20,000 troops, and we will not be free to deal with his reinforcements."

As soon as Lin Mo said that, everyone was in a loud voice, and even muttered quietly.

The Lujiang River is backed by the Yangtze River, so how can there be any reinforcements.

"Be clear." Lu Bu said patiently.

"In addition to Liu Xun's 20,000 troops in Lujiang, there are also a forest of mountain bandits, and in the Chaohu area, Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo and Xu Qian each have thousands of troops; On Tianzhu Mountain, Chen Lan and Lei Ji led more than 10,000 troops, if they joined them...", there is no need for Lin Mo to continue.

Everyone also showed expressions of sudden realization.

Whether these mountain bandits or heroic bandits, they are actually easy to ignore in a big war.

Because these people are basically not willing to take the initiative to swim into troubled waters, except for doing some robbery while the fire is hot.

But Lin Mo was deeply impressed by these guys, this impression came from the Three Kingdoms Heroes game in his previous life, every time the army was about to win a narrow victory, a group of bandits suddenly came out from behind......

In Wuhu, even the lord was captured.

"These people don't seem to be under Liu Xun's orders." Gao Shun said with a frown.

"Mountain bandits, if they are ordered, they are not mountain bandits."

Lin Mo explained with a smile: "It's hard to guarantee that Liu Xun won't bribe them to help them in the war. ”

That's right, the poor and crazy people give some money and food, and they don't have to return to the command, it is estimated that they will take the soldiers and horses to wave their flags and shout on the side without thinking about it.

Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully, or my son-in-law was thoughtful, remembering that Zang Ba was also like this in the Taishan area before.

"If you only go to 10,000 people, Liu Xun will not bother to bribe the mountain bandits to help the war, and secondly, these mountain bandits will feel too defensive and weak, and they will not be able to give birth to dissenting intentions." Chen Gong twisted his goatee and continued along the topic.

After speaking, he didn't forget to look at Lin Mo, who nodded and said, "Mr. Gongtai is high." ”

The generals also reacted, if only 10,000 people went, Liu Xun was probably embarrassed to guard Anhui County and not leave the city, because he would also be worried that the mountain bandits would be bribed by himself.

After the thought was understood, he couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at Lin Mo, Wen Hou, the son-in-law, still has something.

is also the use of soldiers, but the difference in numbers is enough to affect the entire battle situation, if he hadn't pointed it out, it would have been completely unclear that there was such a complicated doorway inside.

Moreover, he seems to have a thorough understanding of the situation in Lujiang, from Tianzhu Mountain to Chaohu Lake, from mountain bandits to Haoqiang, and he has the taste of knowing himself and his opponent.

Wei Yue scratched his head and was melancholy, it turned out that it was not the same as what the hero saw, as if there was a difference of 100 million points.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth rose, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, my son-in-law really didn't disappoint me, and he did a good job today.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then lead 10,000 troops south to Lujiang." When he said this, Lu Bu was very embarrassed, and he had to do it as a last resort.

I'm so hard, and I have to beat my son-in-law to make him stand up, and I'm tired.

The shamelessness of the old father-in-law, Lin Mo has already understood it, and it is commonplace.

He knew Lu Bu's intentions, these generals who died on the battlefield all had an unruly temperament, and they wanted to control them as strategists, and their own road was actually quite long.

But the tight strings in my heart have been loosened, and last night's homework was not done in vain.

Next, it depends on whether the battle of Lujiang can be carried out according to his expectations.

prepared a gift for Liu Xun, if he is willing to accept it, his prestige in the military camp should be able to grow a thousand miles a day.
