Chapter 295 I'm going to take the hardest path
Lu Su was very patient, he said that he didn't care about Guan Yu, he really didn't care about Guan Yu.
Wen Chou is okay, among the generals, his temperament is also stable, but Yan Liang doesn't do it, he can't hold it back after holding it for a few days, and he shouts to go out and cut Guan Yu.
"He Guan Yu has a knife, I also have a knife, you are afraid of what he will do, it's not that I said you rotten people, sometimes you just think too much!" Yan Liang stomped his feet anxiously, feeling as if there were ants crawling on his body.
Lu Su is a well-known honest man, and he doesn't have much contact with Yan Liang and knows that this guy is unintentional, but he doesn't care about him.
Wen Chou couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded directly: "Shut up!" After a few good days, are you going to forget what your last name is? ”
In this part of the heart, Wen Chou is deeper than Yan Liang, scolding him so much in the hope that he will not forget one thing, the two brothers are both generals, and we don't care if Lu Su is rotten or not, but after all, he started from Xuzhou with Lu Bu.
Don't look at Zhang Liao, who can walk sideways in the camp, Jia Xu, who was in Anfeng at that time, had to let him, but his identity can't be compared at all.
When Yan Liang still wanted to be hard-mouthed, he had already been pulled away by Hao Zhao, and Wen Chou smiled and apologized to Lu Su, "Sir, please don't be like my brother, he is a reckless man." ”
Lu Su just smiled and nodded: "Please don't be impatient, general, wait a little longer." ”
In fact, Guan Yu's actions really made him scratch his head.
You said that you ran all the way over and didn't make any moves, so you really didn't come out of the broken village, even if you ran to grab the land and grab the county seat Lusu can understand.
It is not easy to transfer the grain and grass of Jiangxia here, and it has to cross Anyang Mountain.
That mountain is not as good as Taihang Mountain, there are mountain bandit activities all year round, so there are many roads, because of Lin Mo's habit, every county must be cleared of the surrounding mountain bandits, and the original bandits on Anyang Mountain have long been cleared after cleaning up Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
In addition, there is no one to cultivate that area, I am afraid that it has long been overgrown with weeds, and it is difficult for people to walk, let alone transport grain and grass.
Lu Su is right, wait a few more days.
Indeed, it was only a few days before Lujiang sent an urgent war report.
The messenger was carried into the council hall by the sergeant, holding the military newspaper tightly in his hand, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "Lujiang is in a hurry, please send it quickly."
Before he could finish his sentence, he fainted.
Thinking about it, this road is a wild race day and night, and it has never stopped.
Yan Liang hurriedly took down the military newspaper in his hand and sent it to the table, and he poked his head to see what happened.
When Wen Chou opened it, he consciously leaned towards Lu Su on the side.
"Jiangdong Sun Ce landed at the mouth of Anhui along the river, led an army of 30,000 to raid Anhui County, Liu Ziyang led his troops to resist and broke the city in only three days, Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo were killed by Sun Ce, and Liu Taishou led the remnants of the army to flee to Shucheng!"
"How so." Lu Su's mind was a little confused, as if he hadn't reacted.
"What the hell, Sun Ce? Is it Sun Ce, who was kicked off the horse by Wen Hou, and was so frightened that he couldn't even care about his subordinates and fled in embarrassment? He dared to come! ”
Yan Liang shouted angrily: "Brother, you sit in Anfeng, I will lead 10,000 troops to slaughter him!" ”
Some people, who have won battles for half their lives, are nailed to the pillar of shame as soon as they are defeated.
Sun Ce is a typical example.
swept Jiangdong and won half of the world, except for a draw with Tai Shici, there was no defeat, which can be called a complete victory.
However, Guangling seems to have become an eternal pain for the children of Jiangdong, Sun Ce was defeated there, Sun Quan died there, and Huang Gai, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, and Zhou Tai. There are also countless children of Jiangdong.
So much so that Lu Jun felt that the so-called Jiangdong children were talented and talented, but just a self-boasting lie.
I don't think they have the courage to make trouble again.
Probably, everyone has forgotten that Sun Ce is a real little bully.
So this battle not only blinded Liu Ye, but even Lu Su, who was hundreds of miles away, was confused.
Anhui County is a strong city, Liu Ye as the defender of the city not only has 8,000 soldiers and horses on hand, with his prestige in the Huainan region, the Qiao family and the major families are definitely willing to lend soldiers and horses to him in the fierce battle.
It was unbelievable that it was broken in three days.
"Sir, it's nothing to lose an Anhui County, but Sun Ce blatantly attacked and must want to eat the entire Lujiang River, if he doesn't send troops, I'm afraid that Shucheng won't be able to withstand it for long." Wen Chou also agreed with Yan Liang's thoughts.
However, he will always remember what Lin Mo said before he set out on the expedition, and listen to Lu Su more.
Maybe this is kind advice, maybe this is an alternative warning, even if he is in the position of the coach, Wen Chou is still willing to abide by some rules.
Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Hao Zhao all looked at Lu Su expectantly, waiting for his next step, but the latter was like a lost soul, sometimes muttering to himself, sometimes frowning.
"What the hell are you talking about!" Yan Liang was anxious, if he hadn't been blinded by Wen Chou, he would have stepped forward to wake up Lu Su by force.
"Got it, I got it."
After a long time, Lu Su finally came back to his senses, his eyes flashed with excitement, but then immediately dimmed, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At this time, you can't rescue Shucheng."
"What?"
"Why?"
Yan Liangwen and Chou spoke almost at the same time.
After a long sigh, Lu Su began to analyze, "Guan Yu's purpose here is not to fight us, he wants to drag us down for Sun Ce. ”
"What is this Guan Yu doing, he has to drag it out, I will take 10,000 people to Shucheng, if he Guan Yu wants to intercept and kill him halfway, I will take him first and then Sun Ce!" Yan Liang is very brave.
"I'm worried that it's not Guan Yu who intercepts and kills halfway, but Sun Ce."
Lu Su shook his head unhurriedly, "From here, I rushed east to Shucheng, there are many mountains and dense forests, there are too many places for ambush, and Sun Ce is waiting for work, how can I prevent it."
There are more people who go, how to keep Anfeng, and if there are fewer people who go, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Shucheng. ”
"This" Lu Su's words immediately made Yan Liang dumbfounded.
"Sun Ce has the courage of an overlord, and losing to Wen Hou is not a scandal, but who else can beat him?"
Lu Su further analyzed: "What's more, I don't know how many fierce generals he is with him, Tai Shici, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu in Jiangdong are all fierce generals with the courage of ten thousand people, even if they go to the rescue, they must be the two generals who go together." ”
Speaking of this, Wen Chou's eyes nodded half-narrowly, as if he understood what Lu Su meant, and said in a deep voice: "What does Mr. mean, are you going to clean up Guan Yu first, and then go to rescue Shucheng?" ”
Lu Su took a deep breath and shook his head, "Then it's too late, so we can only let Ziyang retreat to Shouchun for refuge first, and use the passes along the way to block Sun Ce to buy time for us." ”
"If Guan Yu, the eighth lamb of the king, can't hold on, what can he do about it?" Yan Liang asked unhappily.
"No, it won't."
Lu Su seemed to be a person who was born not to lose his temper, Gujing Wubo said: "He Liu Bei is not a good person, and he should have reached some kind of agreement by running so far to cover Sun Ce, but he is also poor now, and he will not do a discounted business."
If I guessed correctly, I thought we wanted to take advantage of the rescue to loot the surrounding counties after we went out of the city to rescue, and then retreat after we were successful. ”
This is not a conjecture out of thin air, in fact, Lu Su is originally a strategist who likes to speculate on the other party based on what has happened.
If Guan Yu came here to take down the entire Anfeng, he would not have delayed it until now and did not make any action at all, at least he would lure the enemy by grabbing the land.
"What does the gentleman want to do?"
"He wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so I'll use it as bait."
Lu Su sighed.
Judging from all the signs these days, Zhuge Liang should not be in the military village.
But Lu Su at this moment is not easy, the gambling nature of this is too big, and it is not in line with his character at all.
Let Liu Ye abandon the city and flee to Shouchun, he can understand this, and the Huainan family behind him may not be able to understand it, after all, his identity is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, in the past few years, Chen Deng and Huainan Shizi have been in full swing, and those bad debts are afraid to be recorded on the head of the new Anfeng Taishou.
At this time, they refused to send troops to rescue, and they didn't think much about ghosts.
Moreover, if Liu Ye can't hold Sun Ce back and loses Shouchun, the way to retreat east will be completely blocked, and Anfeng will become a lonely city, with 40,000 troops having no way to escape.
These are fatal problems, and Lu Su has to face them.
Because this is the only way to keep Anfeng.
Starting from Xuzhou, Lu Lin has been together and has killed most of the circle on the territory of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but there has never been a place like Anfeng that has fought so many vicious battles.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lin Mo, Zhang Liao.
Anfeng is definitely the county with the most frequent wars under its rule, but no matter how prosperous the war here is, no one has ever been able to shake its foundation.
How could Lu Su look at the place where he had worked so hard and changed the master in his own hands.
Life is often like this, what you don't want to do, or even something you think you won't do, in the end, you need to face it calmly.
Lu Su doesn't like to take risks, but such a choice is destined for him to take countless risks in Anfeng, he has to use risks to repel Guan Yu, and he has to face Sun Ce to take risks, and in the end, even Huainan Shizi will hate him for not sending troops to rescue.
But, that's the path everybody has to take.
Lin Mo walked over, Jia Xu also walked over, Lu Su thought that he was not as good as the two of them, but he still had to go, and it would be more difficult than them.
"Why didn't the sailors of Guangling come to the rescue of the broken queen?" Hao Zhao, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
Lu Su smiled slightly, "It may already be on the way, if I can, I will definitely let Gan Ning go back, but unfortunately, it's too late, and I don't have the power." ”
"Why?"
"After Sun Ce landed, he drove hundreds of miles to Shucheng, once Wankou was captured, he would have no way to retreat, how could this only way of life be guarded by elite soldiers?"
Lu Su looked at Hao Zhao and slowly explained: "Although Gan Ning has 20,000 sailors in his hands and has been training for some years, they lack actual combat experience, and I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Jiangdong sailors."
Moreover, if Guangling goes to the rescue, that is, going against the water, it is already passive, if I can't repel Guan Yu and solve the danger of the Lujiang River, it will not be the three counties of Huainan that will be broken, and Gan Ning will also be defeated. ”
The situation has become so bad in the blink of an eye? Wen Chou was a little puzzled, obviously he was fine yesterday.
Perhaps, this is the battlefield.
Here, he learned a lot of things, and the time when he followed Zhang Liao to fight Xiahoudun helped him a lot.
But what impressed Zhang Liao the most about him was not the truth and truth that he proclaimed all day long, but the danger and chaos.
When they were under siege, they were able to return to Anfeng safe and sound, although today's danger is no less than that day, but Wen Chou did not panic, but had a sense of responsibility to take over the banner of the Lu army from Zhang Liao, shoulders, heavy.
He slowly stood up and waved at Lu Su, "Please use soldiers, sir!" ”
Anfeng City received an urgent report from Lujiang for help, and Guan Yu's Dazhai also had scouts galloping over, holding the same battle report from Lujiang.
Although there is a shortage of war horses, the scouts in this area cannot be saved, after all, this time his purpose is to help Sun Ce drag down the defenders in Anfeng City, so he will not care less about where Sun Ce fights and what kind of fight he makes.
Of course, the mentality is still different.
Guan Yu was expressionless after reading the letter, and it was a feat to capture Anhui County, which had a solid city defense in three days, but Guan Yu didn't seem to look down on it, so he just said lukewarmly, "I hope you don't make me wait too long." ”
"General, presumably the defenders in Anfeng City have also received a letter of help from Lujiang, and the last general will send more scouts to keep an eye on him, and see how many soldiers and horses he has out of the city." Wei Yan, who had deep nasolabial folds, clenched his fists without smiling.
Guan Yu nodded, "I'll go with you, and by the way, I will also order some soldiers and horses." ”
Hearing this, Wei Yan looked at Guan Yu with some puzzlement, "Does the general want to use soldiers?" ”
"Don't worry, even if he sends troops to rescue, he will also leave one or two thousand defenders in Anfeng, plus Anfeng City has been consolidated by Zhang Liao over the years, and the casualties of the strong attack are too great, I will not be so reckless."
"And the general is?"
Guan Yu glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "We just promised Sun Ce to help him drag the defenders of Anfeng City, but we didn't promise him not to attack other counties in Anfeng County."
This time, we came from afar, and the soldiers worked far away, and we didn't know how much grain and grass we put in, and some of them were transferred from several surrounding counties, which was not too much. ”
This can't be blamed on Guan Yu for being greedy and cheap, even if a county town is a little smaller, the silver and grain and grass in the treasury are a considerable amount.
Especially for Liu Bei, who only has three counties, Lu Bu and Cao Cao, who have a great supply family, may not look down on them, but he can't look down on them.
"Is the general going to plunder the land, but"
The corners of Wei Yan's mouth twitched, and he persuaded softly: "The military advisor said that this time we only need to stay at the crossing of the road and wait for the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to arrive, and then return to Jingzhou along the original road as soon as they arrive." ”
"What, you only listen to Zhuge Liang?"
Guan Yu faded his smile and glanced at him coldly, "Could it be that I can't act expediently?" ”
When Zhuge Liang was in Jingzhou, he just pointed fingers at himself, and when he left Jingzhou, you Wei Yan still pointed fingers at me in his name?
Guan expressed dissatisfaction.
"The last general will not dare!"
At this stage, Wei Yan is still very responsible, but he responded truthfully, "I'm afraid that once I get out of the village, there will be a risk of being ambushed, and I will walk around at the end of the next few days, Anfeng has a lot of water systems here, and the mountains and valleys and woodlands are dense, which is too suitable for ambush."
Generals have always known soldiers, and they should weigh the weight. ”
Guan Yu was proud, but he still listened to the advice, he turned to look at the sheepskin drawings behind him, and pondered seriously.
After a while, he pointed to a county town fifty miles east of Dazhai, and said: "Jin County, there are only more than 1,000 defenders here, as long as you besiege but not attack, Anfeng City will open the city and surrender if you don't come to the rescue."
Moreover, there were only two cols to ambush in the past of this road, so we sent more scouts to find out the road conditions before marching, so that although the speed was slower, there was absolutely no problem. ”
Although he still felt that he should act in accordance with the military order, Guan Yu said so, and of course Wei Yan didn't dare to refute it.
He's just a lieutenant, and there's no reason why he shouldn't listen to the commander.
Soon, the scouts had a return, and Anfeng City did send a long army, and there was no end in sight, not to mention 20,000 people, and the Chinese army was under the word 'Yan'.
This is similar to Guan Yu's guess, Yan Liang went to the rescue, Wen Chou stayed in Anfeng, and the soldiers and horses who went were almost as expected, 20,000 people.
Very good, in this way, Guan Yu feels that he doesn't have to worry about anything at all, he doesn't go to loot now, and he can't say anything about going when Sun Ce comes.
Race against the clock right?
On the same day, 5,000 elite soldiers were ordered, and even 1,500 cavalry were all brought, and the cavalry could not be used to attack the city, but the sense of oppression brought to people was really stronger than the infantry army by more than one grade.
Early the next morning, he led the army to Jin County, and in order to ensure safety, the scouts set off early to check the situation ahead.
In fact, scout investigation is very time-consuming, even if you go to a group of people, usually you can't be sure that there are no mistakes or omissions in such a col for an hour or two.
But Guan Yu is not in a hurry, he knows that he can't hide An Fengcheng's eyes anyway, and it is worth it to change safety for a long time.
At the same time, there are also scouts sent to keep an eye on Anfeng City, and if there are soldiers and horses to rescue, they can also know in advance.
In addition, there are now 20,000 people in Anfeng City, and Wen Chou may not be able to embarrass him in the city, and if he really comes out, he will not be able to do it.
The journey was safe, but the forty-mile journey was from morning to afternoon.
Although there are no defenders in Jin County, the county order cannot open the city immediately, which is a head-off thing.
After waiting for a day, Anfeng City did not send troops to rescue, and early the next morning, when he saw Guan Yujun coming up with a cloud ladder, he immediately opened the city.
Jin County is not big, and the income in the treasury still makes Guan Yu satisfied with his long beard, three thousand gold, eight thousand stones of grain and grass, and hundreds of war horses, don't waste it.
At noon, the scout also returned, saying that the defenders in Anfeng City had not left the city, and Guan Yu was not surprised at all.
Now Wen Chou's little strength is impossible to support him to have the courage to run out to the rescue.
You know, in their cognition, they brought 30,000 people, not 20,000.
"Back to the army!" After packing everything up, Guan Yu took the people and started to return to the camp.
By the way, it is better to go to which county seat next.
