Baqiu, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the coalition army, the civil and military gathered.

Cao Cao sat high in the center of the handsome chair, Liu Bei sat on the left, and Sun Ce sat on the right.

From the three of them, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhuge Liang, Kuai Yue and others; In the sequence of generals, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, Cai Mao, Xu Huang, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

Cao Cao raised the silk cloth in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan has already replied, there are only seven days left before the agreed day, and seven days later will be the day to break Lu Lin. ”

The content on Huang Zhongxin is very simple, he ate a military stick, was hated by Liu Bei, and was demoted to a centurion who was actually responsible for transporting grain.

If he is unkind, he will be unjust, and in seven days, a batch of military rations and equipment will arrive, and then he will go directly to Lu Lin with a full ship of supplies.

Wei Yan said that Lu Bu and Lin Mo were overjoyed and had been waiting for Huang Zhong to come over for a long time.

They didn't have any doubts in this section, they had already put Huang Zhu back, he would definitely tell Lu Lin everything that happened here, all of this was planned.

"Victory! Win! Win! "On weekdays, those pawns shout, even if you have the courage to open the Chinese military tent, you have to shout according to it.

This is not a degraded qualification, many people have survived the tribulation and ascended all their lives, and they have not been able to become one of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers who encircled and suppressed the Great Sage.

"Kong Ming, this battle is about the common people in the world, in front of all the civil and military forces, I want to confirm with you again, seven days later, are you sure that you can borrow the east wind?" Normally, at this time, the combat order is issued, but the core element of this war is this east wind, and Cao Cao had to confirm it again.

"General Cao, don't worry."

Facing everyone's questioning or determined eyes, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "The high altar has been built, and the east wind will come as scheduled!" ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao patted the case and said loudly: "The soldiers listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Seven days later, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Ding Feng led fifty red horses, smeared the bow with live oil, deceived the Lulin Navy and crashed into the Lulin warship, and then killed the Zhaitai and opened the gate!"

"The last general is ordered!" After Cao Cao finished issuing the military order, the three of them went out to give up.

"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led 50,000 sailors, but when they saw the gate of the village opened, they led the army to enter and rush to kill the Lu Lin army!"

"The last general is ordered!" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun went out to receive the order.

"Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu listen to the order!"

"The last general!"

"You will lead 5,000 elite soldiers, ambush at the Wulin Road crossing, and when the defeated army of Lulin arrives, you will light the reeds and kill them with fire!"

"The last general is ordered!"

After Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu took the order, Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong again, "Cao Hong and Xu Huang listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"The two of them led 5,000 elite soldiers to Huarong Road to ambush, this place is a first-line terrain, you need to arrive in advance to prepare the ambush of stones, sassal wood, this move can also cut off the retreat of Lu Lin's defeated army!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

After all this was done, Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and swept towards Sun Ce.

In the previous deployment, except for Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were agreed at the beginning, to serve as the vanguard of burning ships, the others were their own generals.

Now it was their turn, and Cao Cao did not choose to act as his behalf.

After all, it is a prince, even if they have ideas, it is better to let them say it themselves.

Liu Bei didn't express his position at the first time, he had ideas, but he wanted to wait for Sun Ce to make a decision first.

Sun Ce's idea is simple, he wants to cut down the desperate Lu Bu and Lin Mo under the horse, only in this way can he pay tribute to the spirits of Jiangdong's children in the sky.

Of course, in addition to the two of them, there is another person who must die, Zhang Liao, Zhang Babai!

The problem is that they have also discussed it in the past few days, there are two routes for Lu Lin to flee after the defeat, one is to go north to Xiling City, and the other is to go west through Wulin Road and then go straight to Xuchang after turning north through Huarong Road.

Judging from the distance and troop deployment, Lu Lin's normal escape should have gone directly north to Xiling City, because there are only 200 miles from Xiakou to Xiling, and there are soldiers and horses, grain and grass and ordnance in Xiling City, which is the best transit station.

But Cao Cao also said that Lin Mo's mind is different from ordinary people, and he is likely to have unexpected choices when he is in danger.

After some ideological struggle, he still chose to believe in Cao Cao, got up and said: "I am willing to lead my troops to Hulukou to ambush, as Cao Gong said, after the defeat of Lu Lin's army, he was killed by General Xiahou and General Xu at Wulin Daokou for a while, and he must not dare to take the big road, I vow to kill Lu Bu and Lin Mo at Hulukou!" ”

"Good! Bo Fu's courage is no less than that of his father! Cao Cao immediately sent a piece of sycophancy.

Actually, where Sun Ce goes, Liu Bei doesn't care, and Cao Cao doesn't care, after all, his strength is the weakest in the Tripartite Alliance, and he can take back the six counties of Jiangdong, thank God, and he doesn't dare to think about the others.

Finally, it was Liu Bei.

He slowly got up and said in a deep voice: "General Cao is well versed in the way of using troops, I expected that after the defeat of Lu Lin's army, he also escaped from the Wulin Trail, and he wanted to take the second and third brothers to go, since there are General Cao and Bo Fu guarding it, then this road can be assured."

After all, this battle is related to the survival of the Han family, and it is also related to the people of the world, and there is no room for loss, so I will take people to the head of the realm to ambush, in case their soldiers escape in two ways, there will be no fish that slip through the net. ”

Sun Ce's choice was really made on the spot, because he didn't care about other things, only where Lu Lin would appear.

But Liu Bei's choice was actually agreed with Zhuge Liang a long time ago, he took people to the head of the realm, in addition to ambushing Lu Lin's defeated army, there were other more important tasks, which were related to whether he could further grow in the future.

"Okay, now that the various departments have agreed on the plan to use troops, let's go back to the camp to prepare!"

After Cao Cao waved his hand, everyone turned around and left.

When everyone retreated, and only Cao Cao, Xun You, and Cheng Yu were left in the tent, Cao Cao beckoned, and the two of them took two steps forward.

"You say, Liu Bei chose the head of the world, is he worried about fighting with Lu Lin and wants to take advantage of the fisherman, or is he really worried that there will be fish that slip through the net?"

Xun You smiled indifferently and said, "The lord's heart is like a mirror, why torture him." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao also showed a knowing smile but did not respond, Cheng Yu took the initiative to say: "If you guess correctly, the difficulty of the way to the head of the realm is the least, Liu Bei is just to capture Lu Lin's defeated soldiers, collect ordnance and war horses, which is much less pressure than the Western Front." ”

Xun You bowed his head slightly and saw that Cheng Yu had nothing to say before adding: "More than that, when the time comes, they should also change into Lu Lin's military uniform, pretend to be defeated and flee to Xiling City, don't forget, Lu Lin's ordnance, grain and grass are all stationed in Xiling City, and if you get this city, you can win 100,000 male soldiers." ”

After listening to what the two said, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "Liu Bei, a treacherous villain, talks about Kuang Fu Han all day long, but when he really wants him to contribute, he is still busy with his own things." ”

This point was expected by Cao Cao, but he recalled that when the princes of the Eighteenth Route were begging for Dong, Liu Bei denounced the princes of all walks of life in his military tent in the name of King Qin, but in fact expanded his strength.

When it really comes to yourself, what's the difference, it's all the way.

"Lord, in this case, this Xiling City can't be given to Liu Bei!" Cheng Yu, who reacted, frowned.

"Of course it won't be given to him in vain."

Cao Cao smiled at the corner of his mouth, put his hands on his belt, and said calmly: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, I want Xiling City, and I want Liu Bei's life." ”

Hearing this, the two of them were stunned at first, but they understood that they should want Liu Bei to fight with Hao Zhao and Guo Huai in the city first, and when they were exhausted from the battle, they would suddenly kill a force, which would inevitably engulf the two groups of people and horses with Xiling City.

The problem is that judging from the deployment just now, the elite soldiers and horses have been sent out, all the way to concentrate on attacking Xiakou Water Village, of course, a lot of materials can be captured here, but it is definitely not so that after the first battle, they will rush to Xiling City to help, they don't even have war horses, how to run more than 200 miles.

And the other way is all concentrated in the Wulin Road Crossing and Huarong Road on the Western Front, where is there still the strength to counterattack Xiling City?

"Lord, do you want General Cao Ren and the eldest prince's soldiers and horses to gallop to help?" Xun You blurted out his debut.

Now, Cao Ren is guarding the rear in Jiangling Town, on the one hand, to give Yizhou civil and military courage, and on the other hand, if the army is really defeated, this is the waterway to flee to Yizhou, and only by holding Jiangling City can he hold this way of life.

And Cao Ang is naturally guarding Xiangyang, the political center of Jingzhou.

It is not impossible to let Cao Ren lead the troops to Xiling City, but it seems unrealistic to let Cao Ang bring out the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City to be this yellow finch, after all, there are 30,000 Lu Lin's foot guards outside Xiangyang City, just to prevent them from attacking from behind, and the general commander is Ma Teng and other ten old generals in Guanzhong in the past.

"Ziyu only led the cavalry in the city to mix in the merchant ships, the number of people is not large, three thousand is enough, and after entering the boundary of Fancheng through the Han River, he can rush to the aid of Xiling City."

Cao Cao stretched his waist and continued: "As long as he arrives in Fancheng, even if Ma Teng's eyes report the news, but Ma Teng, as a general, will not dare to rashly lead his troops out of Xiangyang City without the military orders of Lu Bu and Lin Mo, after all, he can't confirm whether Zi Xuan will be a trick to lure the enemy." ”

Hearing this, Xun You will be mindful, this layer of calculation is accurate enough, and it just happens to grasp Ma Teng's situation and thoughts.

"However, it is less than seven days before the big battle, and it will take a day and a half to rush to the order at this time, even if it is a rapid march, and whether it is Xiangyang or Jiangling, it is seven or eight hundred miles away from Xiling City. It may not be too late, my lord. Cheng Yu sighed earnestly.

Calculations are good calculations, but time doesn't seem to allow it.

Speaking of this, Cao Cao played with his mustache quite proudly, "When Kong Ming said three days ago that he could borrow the east wind, I knew that this matter would be done, so."

Cao Cao paused deliberately, and said in a lazy tone: "At that time, I had already sent a fast horse to inform the two of them. ”

Wonderful!

It turns out that we are calculating the enemy, and the lord is calculating his own people, which is very powerful.

Not to mention, purely in this regard, the two of them are ashamed of themselves, Lu Lin has not yet been defeated, and this head has already begun to deploy how to pit his own people.

However, Cao Cao is quite accurate, and Liu Bei's abacus is afraid that he will hit his stomach.

In the barracks, because Sun Ce and his group needed to cross the river to ambush, the time to set off must have been earlier than that of the navy.

Thinking that this time he could avenge the death of his siblings in the past, Sun Ce was still very excited, and he ordered the army early.

There are not many people, only 3,000, but these 3,000 people are all old generals who have followed Sun Ce to the east and west since the early years, and during the Huainan War, their group of people was arranged to stay in the rear, which also became Sun Ce's last confidence.

"Lord, in fact, the Jingxiang Navy is enough, and we may not need to go to attack Xiakou with fire, I still hope to follow the lord to Hulukou."

"Yes, my lord, no matter what military orders the lord has over the years, the last general and others have been moved by order, this time, can you listen to us once and then go and talk to Cao Cao?"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang said earnestly, of course, it was not because they were too fickle, but they had always thought that Sun Ce would go to the head of the realm, so they would rush to the head of the realm as soon as they completed the task of attacking the village.

But now, Sun Ce suddenly decided to go to Hulukou, which caught them off guard.

There are not many Jiangdong heroes in the past who have survived, and the people who have survived are not only living themselves, but also Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, and Sun Quan, who do not want to be too far away from Sun Ce in such a big war.

"What, are you worried that I'll fight them?"

Sun Ce smiled lightly and promised: "Don't worry, this time is different from before, they are defeated and fled, I am prepared to fight, and when I see them, they have already lost two battles in a row, if I can't take Lu Bu in this way, then I am not worthy of being a descendant of this Sun family." ”

That being said, but after all, the configuration of the Lu Lin Group is too rebellious, in addition to Lu Bu at the demon level, there are also Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Zhang Liao, which of these is not ten thousand enemies, let the lord of his own family lead the troops to set up an ambush alone.

They were really afraid that if something happened, they wouldn't be able to face Sun Jian when they arrived under Jiuquan.

"The lord is invincible on the battlefield!"

Cheng Pu hurriedly explained, "It's just that we are all old and prefer to follow the lord, and we don't have to go to attack the village originally, so I beg the lord for permission." ”

"Bo Fu, Demou is asking you as a general, the old man will sell him again, and ask you to agree as an uncle, let us go together." Han Dang choked up a little.

They are all fierce generals who have died on the battlefield, and Jiangdong's children have never believed in tears, Sun Ce doesn't understand why they have to go together this time.

But Han Dang said everything to this point, Sun Ce pondered for a while, and then looked at Ding Feng, "Cheng Yuan, how about you accompany Huang Zhong to attack the water village?" ”

"Obey the Lord's orders!" Ding Feng honestly accepted the order.

Sun Ce patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Cheng Pu and Han Dang, "I'll go find Cao Cao, I think he will agree." ”

"Thank you, Lord." The two of them fulfilled their wishes, and they both relaxed and smiled.

I don't know when it started, these two veterans feel that living is no longer just about charging into battle, the burden on their shoulders is too heavy, and they have to protect Sun Ce well.
