Chapter 338: Lu Xun is in command, crossing the river and winning consecutive battles

When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang speak, his eyes suddenly changed, and there was a sense of pampering in his eyes.

"What is Liang's deployment?"

Zhuge Liang respectfully saluted Liu Bei.

Although he is only fifteen years old, Zhuge Liang has been training in various military and political departments for more than three years, and he is not just studying in the academy.

In addition to age, there is also an element of experience in human maturity.

Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.

Only the unity of knowledge and action can make a person's wisdom fully reflected.

"Under the command of Yuan Shao, now the trial is the supervising army, Xu Youxunchen is the strategist, Wen Chou is the general, and the army of 500,000 is in Liyang."

"According to Liangguan, Xu Yu Xun Chen has a relatively harmonious relationship, but the judge and Xu Yu hate each other, and these two are one of the prison and the other are strategists, and they are in power."

"If the situation is critical, we may work together to advance and retreat; If the war goes well, there will be a dispute between the two. ”

"Ah Xun's arrogant plan is also intended here."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said again: "However, Ah Xun is young, if he only takes command and does not show his ability to use troops, he will also be seen by Xu Youzheng and others. ”

"Therefore, on top of this, there must be a few victories to show Asun's ability."

Huang Zhong asked suspiciously: "Since it is a plan for arrogant soldiers, why do you have to win a few battles?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The strategy of arrogance is different depending on its opponent, and the strategy used is also different. If the opponent is a general like Wen Chou, it is natural to focus on deception; However, our opponent is not Wen Chou, a general, but Yuan Wei's army of 500,000! ”

"It's just that the fraud is too obvious, with Xu You, Xun Chen, and the ability to judge, you can easily see our intentions!"

"On the contrary, if our army wins consecutive battles, it will make the opponent ignore the meaning of our army's 'proud soldiers', and let Xu You and others focus their attention on Ah Xun."

"In terms of common sense, Ah Xun is young after all, he first took command at the age of thirteen, and won consecutive battles, so he should have the meaning of pride and self-restraint, and no one looks down on the generals in the army, which can tempt Xu Youxun and others to count Ah Xun with arrogant tactics."

"And our army can also count what is calculated, and count what the enemy has not counted."

"Brother Xianmou once said: Fighting the army is like playing chess, I count the enemy, the enemy counts me, and speculate with each other, until one side counts more and the other miscalculates, then the winner can be distinguished."

Huang Zhong was confused when he heard this, and scratched his head: "Hey, Zhong should still follow orders, you strategists' brains are really twisted and turned." ”

Liu Bei stroked his palms lightly and praised: "I see, Ah Liang's move is to make Yuan Shao and his advisers believe that I am really taking command with Ah Xun, rather than deliberately showing weakness." ”

"Hide the real purpose, let the opponent neglect the guard, and then achieve the meaning of 'arrogant soldiers', wonderful!"

"Ah Liang has also grown up, I am very relieved!"

Although Liu Bei praised him, Zhuge Liang's words did not completely convince the generals.

Lu Bu also came out: "Your Majesty, if Zhuge Junshi makes a mistake in his calculations, won't our 100,000 troops become the turtle in Yuan Shao's urn?" The minister thought that he should send a letter to the prime minister and let the prime minister decide. ”

Lu Bu is just arrogant, not stupid.

Zheng Ping's ability, Lu Bu is still very clear.

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, if there is something wrong with Liangzhi's plan, Brother Xian will naturally send someone to remind him." ”

Lu Bu was stunned: "Can the prime minister still hear that Zhuge Junshi can't make plans today?" ”

"This is a secret, please forgive the general!" Zhuge Liang's gaze glanced at Jia Xu inadvertently.

Jia Xu sighed in his heart: "This kid, look at what the old man has done!" ”

Immediately, Jia Xu directly narrowed his eyes and ignored Zhuge Liang's eyes.

However, it was Jia Xu's squinting that made Zhuge Liang's inner worry disappear.

After all, it is the first time that a strategy has been officially formulated in the combat deployment of the Grand Army, and even if Zhuge Liang believes in the strategy in his heart, he will still have a trace of apprehension.

However, Jia Xu's reaction reassured Zhuge Liang.

Although Jia Xu came here quietly, Zhuge Liang was self-aware, and with Zheng Ping's personality, it was impossible to really let Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun be in charge of the entire decisive battle deployment and ignore it.

In this Puyang formation, there must be a wise man secretly arranged by Zheng Ping.

After Zhuge Liang carefully figured out the civil and military forces of Puyang's main formation, his attention fell on Jia Xu, who claimed to be a loose official of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How could a loose official be qualified to participate in such a secret military conference?

Zhuge Liang also heard Zheng Ping mention that there is a kind of wise man in this world, unless he burns his buttocks, he will never open his mouth to give advice, and such a wise man will never be in absolute danger.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang refused to speak, Lu Bu couldn't help but retreat angrily.

Seeing that there were some convinced and some unconvinced, Liu Bei just tried his best to appease.

For Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei has enough trust and favor.

The military conference is over.

Liu Bei was outside Puyang, by the Yellow River, set up a high platform, and officially worshiped Lu Xun as the governor of the capital, in addition to ordering the 100,000 troops of Puyang's own formation, he also had the power to mobilize the four battalions of Luoyang, Dongping, Jibei and Pingyuan.

Meanwhile.

Liu Bei's worship of Lu Xun as the governor of the capital, the information of the false festival, and various military orders were also transmitted to the fourth battalion.

Plains Country.

Guan Yu frowned, making the messenger in front of him can't help but feel a chill.

"Why is my brother so careless, he actually worships Lu Xun'er as the governor of the capital, how can it be child's play to march and fight!"

"Returning to my brother for Guan, I first went to the camp to fight for many years, and I don't want to lose my troops because of a small child."

The messenger was stunned.

Guan Yu actually disobeyed directly!

Chen Deng drew his sword and shouted: "If you don't go back quickly, do you want the prince to behead you?" ”

The messenger hurriedly withdrew.

When the messenger left, Chen Deng put his sword back into its sheath: "Prince, why scare the messenger." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and smiled: "The army has been holding each other for a long time, and there must be Yuan Shao's spies in the plains, if the messenger is intercepted by Yuan Shao's spies, or if the messenger has complaints on the way and is eavesdropped, or Yuan Shao can know the grievances of Ben Hou against Lu Xun as commander." ”

"The elder brother and the prime minister both intend to cultivate Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, how can Ben Hou not cooperate?"

Liu Bei Zhengping's preference for Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, how could Guan Yu not know?

This time, it was not only Jia Xu who Zheng Ping secretly arranged in Puyang for Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun this time.

The four battalions of Guan Yu, Sun Jian, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei were actually prepared to deal with the strategic failure of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun in Puyang.

Otherwise, Yuan Shao and Liyang would gather 500,000 troops, and Zheng Ping would have allowed Guan Yu's four battalions to be in Puyang, instead of setting up five battalions.

Looking at Zheng Ping's deployment, in addition to the Puyang main formation, Guan Yu, Sun Jian, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei are the four most capable generals under Liu Bei in the Central Plains.

This is not the most capable of fighting in Puyang's main formation, but it is stationed separately, and its intention is obvious.

To cultivate Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, naturally you can't put the best ones in Puyang, and winning can't be regarded as Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun's ability.

At the same time, it can also avoid the strategic failure of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun leading to the rout of the whole army.

There is Jia Xu in Puyang, there are four camps outside Puyang, and there is Tai Shi Ci in Liaodong to enter Liaoxi in the west.

Zheng Ping didn't seem to be directly involved in the decisive battle, but in fact he had already laid out the most important chess pieces on the chessboard.

Chen Deng also smiled and said: "Your Majesty prefers the two, and also hopes that there will be a successor to the Han Dynasty, after all, we are all over thirty, if there is no successor, it will inevitably make the ambitious people troublesome the dynasty." ”

Whether it is Guan Yu or Chen Deng, they all know it.

In order to cooperate with Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, Guan Yu also deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun in the army.

If you just go to camp first, you will naturally not let the spies get the news.

However, in the plains, in addition to the first camp, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses recruited from all over the country who obeyed Guan Yu's orders.

Among these soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao's spies are the most likely to appear.

In addition to Guan Yu, Sun Jian, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei all expressed their dissatisfaction with Lu Xun taking command.

It's just that because of Liu Bei's order, the four generals all carried out Lu Xun's military orders, and at the same time marched to Yuan Shao's city to divide Yuan Shao's troops.

Liyang Camp.

The information that Liu Bei worshiped Lu Xun as the governor of the capital naturally reached Yuan Shao's ears.

"Liu Bei is the emperor, has he become arrogant? Unexpectedly let a thirteen-year-old child take charge? When Yuan Shao heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer.

Although there is a twelve-year-old Ganluo seal in ancient times, there is an essential difference between hanging and handsome.

Hanging phase, the policy is wrong, and the hidden dangers are mostly internal; In command, this strategy and tactics are wrong, and that is tantamount to the defeat of the country.

Just as Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.

As soon as the words fell, the judge admonished loudly: "Ming Gong, don't be careless!" This must be Liu Bei's deliberate weakness and desire to be arrogant. ”

Yuan Shao looked up: "Why did Zhengnan say that?" The general has never heard that Liu Bei treats Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun as parents and children, and he attaches great importance to them, and this time he sent troops with Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun as military advisors. ”

Among them, Zhuge Liang is good at literary affairs, Lu Xun is good at martial arts, Liu Bei is preparing to train the two, and Lu Xun must be in command to gain fame for Lu Xun. is just a thirteen-year-old child, no matter how good he is, how can he be handsome? ”

"Liu Bei is too arrogant, too anxious."

While saying this, Yuan Shao was also unconvinced.

After all, as the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there has never been a thirteen-year-old son in charge, a child of the Lu family of Wu County, why does he have this ability?

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not agree with the judgment of the trial, but thought that Liu Bei was too arrogant and too eager to cultivate Lu Xun.

Xu You carefully observed Yuan Shao's expression and sneered: "Judging Zhengnan, although you can command the troops, your understanding of the general situation of the battle between the two armies is too shallow. ”

"Liu Bei wants to deliberately show weakness, it is enough to deceive a few battles on the battlefield, why cover his ears and steal the bell, and let a thirteen-year-old child take command, isn't this a deception that there is no one under the public account?"

"Or does the trial army think that Liu Bei's prime minister, Zheng Ping, will allow such child's play to appear in the decisive battle between the two armies?"

"Hmph, don't speculate if you don't know how to analyze the enemy's situation, command the troops well, and supervise the generals for Ming Gong, which is what you should do."

The trial was ridiculed by Xu Yu for a while, and he was immediately furious: "Xu Ziyuan, have you ever commanded soldiers and horses?" Talking on paper is a taboo in battle! ”

"Now it's not about conquest, it's about general planning, if you don't understand, you can keep your mouth shut." Xu You's head was raised, and his face was disdainful: "I don't know who it was who led the troops south with Yuan Shanggongzi, but he was defeated." ”

"On paper, the trial and supervision army is better than Xu."

"Ming Gong, I think that the trial and supervision army should return to Yecheng to be responsible for the supervision of money and grain, which is not suitable for pre-military deliberations."

Xu You secretly hated the trial, and after a discipline and a trial, Yuan Shao couldn't listen to his words.

The trial was stunned, and he suddenly became angry and didn't know how to send it.

After all, he went south with Yuan Shang last time, but he suffered a fiasco, and this defeat can't be erased.

Yuan Shao was also dissatisfied with the trial, one because of the failure of the trial, and the other because the trial had openly accused Yuan Shao of killing Feng Ji to curry favor with Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao ordered: "Zhengnan, 500,000 troops, there is a lot of grain and grass needed, you go back to Yecheng to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and you don't have to argue with Ziyuan anymore." ”

The judge clenched his fists and hated Xu Yu even more.

However, Yuan Shao's order could not be ignored, and Zhineng had no choice but to accept the order and went to Yecheng to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Waiting for the trial to leave, Xu You straightened his clothes, and his tone was a little more comfortable: "Ming Gong, you think that neither Liu Bei nor Zheng Ping are stupid people, and letting Lu Xun take command is not a deliberate show of weakness, but that Lu Xun does have his talent." ”

"As for how talented Lu Xun has, we still need to wait and see how Lu Xun deploys troops."

"Wait and see how he deploys troops, and then formulate a strategy to break the enemy, so as to brake quietly, or the last to strike first."

Yuan Shao nodded, and then looked at Xun Chen, who was silent.

Xun Chen pondered for a while, and said: "Ming Gong, Chen and Ziyuan have the same idea, know yourself and know your opponent, and you can win all battles." first look at Lu Xun's use of troops, and then judge whether Liu Bei's worship of Lu Xun as the governor of the capital is deliberately showing weakness, or whether he is really capable. ”

Yuan Shao saw that Xu You and Xun Chen both thought so, so he didn't think about it anymore, but just sent more spies to find out about the enemy.

A few days later, Yuan Shao received the news that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Sun Jian had marched into the army one after another.

"This is Lu Xun's plan to divide the troops, it seems that Liu Bei's new governor still has some ability." Xu You concluded: "Duke Ming can do what he wants, divide his troops everywhere and resist Guan Yu's four people." ”

"If the forecast is not bad, Lu Xun will soon use troops against the Liyang battalion, so that all Jinkou can be strictly guarded and beware of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses crossing the river!"

Xu You was categorical and predicted Lu Xun's actions to Yuan Shao.

Ten days later.

Liu Beibing smuggled across the Yellow River, entered Huaxian County in the west of Liyang, killed Zhang Qi, the defender of Huaxian County, and defeated Jiang Qi, the general of Yuan Shao, who went to support.

Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou into Huaxian County, and encountered Lu Bu's army that came to support, Wen Chou was defeated by Lu Bu and was defeated again!

And Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, and Zhao Yun also had an advantage.

All of a sudden, Liu Beibing's voice was shocked.

I don't know if it was intentional or undoubted, Yuan Shao's spies came to Liu Beijun, and many praised Lu Xun for "the reincarnation of soldiers".

This made Yuan Shao have new doubts about Lu Xun's judgment.

"This Lu Xun, is it really so powerful?"
