It is said that when Yuan Shu just received the news that Liu Bei had raised 20,000 troops to go south, he angrily cut off a corner of the table case, and scolded to the east: "The little boy who weaves mats and sells shoes, he deceives people too much, and dares to go south to attack Guangling County, this is to completely drive my Yuan Shu out of Guangling County!" Don't think I really can't beat you! ”

Zhang Xun on the side said: "Lord, the whistle is coming to report, Liu Bei has taken away all his main generals and strategists on this trip, Huaiyin County must be empty, we can take the opportunity to attack Huaiyin and cut off their back road, Liu Beijun will definitely be self-defeating." ”

Yuan Shu cocked his beard, glared and said, "You also said that as far as the killer you are looking for, there is no news so far, and it will definitely not succeed." ”

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes, does this have anything to do with the sneak attack on Huaiyin?

Yuan Shu continued: "Guangling County can't help it, Huaiyin has been lost, and if Guangling is lost, the entire Guangling County will fall into the hands of Liu Bei." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Bei's move is precisely to completely take Guangling County.

Qiao Rui, the general on the side, suggested: "Lord, what General Zhang said is reasonable, if you attack Huaiyin at this time, you may be able to gain something." As for Guangling County, he could write to Sun Ce and order him to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to rescue Guangling quickly. Guangling Taishou Wu Jing is Sun Ce's uncle, and Sun Ce will definitely send troops. ”

Speaking of Qiao Rui, this person does have some talents, compared to Ji Zhangxun, he is a general who focuses on liberal arts, he is calm and calm, and he can be a defender.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was overjoyed: "Okay, Qiao Rui, I'll give you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and go to Huaiyin as soon as possible." Order Sun Ce to send troops to rescue Guangling, and be sure to repel Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei can be in a dilemma and avenge the previous two wars! ”

It is said that Liu Bei's army rushed to Gaoyou before sunset and set up camp to set up a good village.

And the people were deliberating in the main tent about the military.

The news of Yuan Shu's dispatch of troops reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei was taken aback.

Today's troops were dispatched, almost with all their might, and there were only 2,000 old and weak left in Huaiyin County, led by a partial general. At this time, if Yuan Shu's army of 30,000 horses and horses were killed, wouldn't it be easy to take Huaiyin.

"Strategist!"

Liu Bei hurriedly cast his eyes on Zhao Chen on the side.

Not only Liu Bei, but everyone present was very nervous.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen was calmly drinking small tea at this time, and was not affected by the news of Yuan Shu's dispatch of troops in the slightest.

Seeing that Zhao Chen was calm, Liu Bei felt a little calmer, with his understanding of Zhao Chen, he would definitely not do anything that he was not sure of. What's more, Huaiyin is such an important place, and it will not be ignored.

Sure enough, Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and responded to Liu Bei's panic.

"Rest easy, my lord. Who you see hasn't come yet? ”

Liu Bei looked around the entire camp, but Zhang Fei was missing.

"Yun Chang, why don't you see the third brother?"

Guan Yu blinked his pair of Danfeng eyes, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I haven't seen the third brother before entering Gaoyou City. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Zhao Chen with a smile, this is understood, it must be Zhao Chen who sent Zhang Fei elsewhere.

Zhao Chen nodded and said the reason: "Actually, Chen had long expected that Yuan Shu would attack Huaiyin and cut off our army's rear route. The fact that our army marched so slowly and showed the whole army attacking with great fanfare was precisely to give him a signal to tell Yuan Shuhuai that Yin was empty. ”

Jian Yong was very puzzled: "But military advisor, is it a good thing to let Yuan Shu know that Huaiyin is empty?" ”

"Of course it's not a good thing! But it's a must-do. ”

Liu Bei frowned, looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously, and asked, "Military Master, why is this?" ”

Zhao Chen was not impatient, and still calmly explained: "The lord is calm and don't be impatient, and listen to Chen's careful words." ”

"Taking Guangling first and then seeking Xuzhou is our army's current strategy. If our army wants to gain a foothold in Guangling County, and then go north to Shangpi and take over the entire Xuzhou, it needs a large number of troops and leading generals. And now our army is only more than 20,000 people, it is not easy to hold Guangling, and Yuan Shu must be frightened, so that he will no longer dare to send troops to invade the territory, so as to eliminate the worries of our army going north. ”

Therefore, Chen made Yuan Shu think that Huaiyin was empty, and Yuan Shu must send a large army to sneak attack, and Chen had already arranged for Yide to lead 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 armor soldiers, a total of 5,000 elites, to go to the edge of Hongze Lake to block and fight an ambush battle, which caught Yuan Shu's army off guard. Let Yuan Shu thoroughly understand that Guangling is already the territory of our army, don't make any ideas, this is one of them. ”

"Second, the biggest problem of our army at present is not Yuan Shu, but Sun Ce. Sun Ce has broken Danyang all the way, and Qu A is also in danger. Liu Zhengli is not Sun Ce's opponent at all, and Qu Ah will lose it within the year. At that time, our army would border Sun Cejun, and Guangling County would bear the brunt. If our army wanted to go north, it had to leave heavy troops to guard Guangling County, which was very unfavorable to our army. Therefore, this battle must make Sun Ce suffer a heavy blow and give Liu Zhengli a chance to breathe. In this way, Liu Zhengli can be used to defend against Sun Ce in the south, and our army will have no worries. ”

Guan Yu stroked his hair and asked: "According to the will of the military division, there will be a fierce battle between our army and Sun Ce?" ”

Zhao Chen suddenly sat upright and replied: "It's inevitable, just as I wish." I led Yuan Shu to the north to avoid the situation where Yuan Shu and Sun Ce sent troops to rescue Guangling County at the same time, and our army was attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, so that our army could flank Sun Ce with Liu Zhengli's army before and after, so that he had no way to retreat. ”

Zhao Chen peeled back the current situation and analyzed it layer by layer, so that everyone present was dumbfounded.

Such foresight is rare. Only from the current battle to take Guangling County, we can see the situation after the take, and even prepare for the future army to go north to seek Xuzhou.

If it is said that a wise man plans the battlefield, Zhao Chen has gone beyond the category of a wise man, and is always planning the entire future.

Liu Bei, Jian Yong and Chen Zhi were extremely convinced of Zhao Chen, and even the arrogant Guan Yu admired Zhao Chen for three points at this moment.

Zhao Chen also knew in his heart that Liu Zhengli was not Sun Ce's opponent, and the two of them fought against each other in history, Liu Zhengli was defeated all the way, and finally retreated to Yuzhang. However, there were more than half a year before and after, and it was not until the second year of Jian'an, that is, in the middle of next year, that Liu Zhengli completely failed.

If Guangling County can successfully inflict heavy losses on Sun Ce in the first battle, it should not be a problem to delay the survival of Liu Zhengli's forces for two to three years.

In this way, Zhao Chen had more than two years to go north to recover Xuzhou and initially establish Liu Bei's revolutionary base. At that time, there will be no worries about going south to Yangzhou.

Guan Yu immediately said: "The military advisor gives the order, and the battle will be fixed in Guangling!" ”

Chen Zhi was also infected by Guan Yu's emotions, and stood up excitedly: "Strategist, give the order!" ”

However, Liu Bei is still a little worried, on the one hand, from Zhang Fei, and on the other hand, from Sun Ce, after all, in terms of strength, Sun Ce is far stronger than himself.

Zhao Chen shook his head, these people are always not on the same channel, it's really tiring to bring them.

"Rest easy, everyone, rest early today, and wait for one person to come."

"My lord, please rest early, everything is in Chen's plan."

Although everyone was puzzled, when they saw Liu Bei nodding their heads, they all agreed and left.

Zhao Chen walked out of the camp and breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing the meeting.

If Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Jia Xu and other masters are there, it must be very easy to chat, everyone just needs to click to the end, and there is no need to explain hard.

Thinking of Zhou Yu, Zhao Chen was also a little nervous, and even a little excited.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would only be more than a month, and he was going to fight with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce so soon, and he had to see the wisdom of Zhou Gongjin who "lupine scarf, talking and laughing and disappearing".

To be honest, Zhao Chen is not sure that he will be able to defeat Zhou Yu, with Zhou Yu's wisdom, he should be the top in this era.

The only thing Zhao Chen has more than 1,800 years of historical experience and countless battles he has seen.

Back at the camp, Zhao Chen still had one more thing to determine.

He called Shi A, who was guarding outside the tent, and asked, "Now that you have followed me, then let me ask you, who is behind the incident of Chengzi Lake?" ”

Shi A replied: "Military advisor, the villain is entrusted by Liu Ping, a native of Pingyuan County. ”

Liu? Zhao Chen was a little familiar with this person, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

"I have no grudge against Liu Ping, why did this person arrange for you to assassinate?"

"This, the villain is not clear."

Zhao Chen nodded, repeatedly savored the words "Liu Ping" and "Pingyuan County", and suddenly remembered.

Liu Ping, the one who asked an assassin to assassinate Liu Bei because he looked down on Liu Bei, is good now, he took this time for Lao Liu. Fortunately, history is the same, the assassination was unsuccessful, and the assassin bowed to Zhao Chen.

It's just that the question is buried, Liu Ping looks down on Liu Bei because Liu Bei was ashamed of being under his jurisdiction when he was the magistrate of Pingyuan County and the minister of Pingyuan, but Zhao Chen and Liu Ping have nothing to do with it at all, and they have never been out of Guangling County, where do they come to look down on it.

There must be other people behind this matter, Zhao Chen is confused now, and he can only secretly write it down.

Subsequently, Zhao Chen instructed Shi A: "I have something that I need to ask you." ”

Shi Ah knelt down on one knee and said, "The military advisor doesn't have to be like this, just give orders." ”

"Since Liu Ping's plan failed this time, it is very likely that there will be a second plan. Now that I am on the march, I am protected by many soldiers around me, so I can not worry. I'm worried about the Wan clan and the foot trainers who are still in Huaiyin, you should quickly return to Huaiyin, stay at the door of the house, and protect their safety. ”

Shi A was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it, he understood that these two people must be important people in Zhao Chen's heart.

"Please rest assured, with Ah Zai, no one can hurt your family."

Zhao Chen nodded.

Shi Ah left in a hurry.
