Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 113 Skirmishers
"Report to Marquis Wen that Cao Jun left Puyang and headed towards Runan."

Hearing this news, Lu Bu hastily ordered people to find everyone to discuss.

"Cao Mengde wants to go to Puyang, what should our army do?"

After Lu Bu asked this question, he kept looking at everyone.

Since no one answered, Wei Xu stepped forward and said, "Cao Cao was defeated in Puyang. He must have been panicked and lacked combat power. It is better for our army to go after him. Maybe we can defeat Cao Mengde in one fell swoop and save this trouble."

"No."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Gong hurriedly said, "If you go to chase Cao Mengde, what will the Jizhou soldiers and horses in Dongwuyang do?"

Yuan Shao's strength is much stronger than Cao Mengde's. Once he really wants to attack Yanzhou, even if Lu Bu's army defends with all his strength, he may not be able to do so. How dare he take it lightly.

This is exactly what Lu Bu was worried about, and he nodded, "Gongtai is right, no matter what the soldiers and horses in Jizhou are, we have to guard against them. If something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu Si stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "It's better to go back to Dong'e. After knowing the intention of Jizhou soldiers and horses, it's not too late to make plans."

Hearing this, Chen Gong suddenly sighed, "Cao Mengde is extremely cunning, although he was defeated this time and lost troops, he believes that it will not take long for him to regain his strength, and it will be bad."

Lu Bu nodded empathetically, "Yes, if you give Cao Mengde a chance to breathe, it might not be so easy to deal with him."

The biggest problem Lu Bu is facing now is that there are too few troops.

It is still possible to support the enemy in one line, but it is difficult to fight the enemy in two lines.

The most important thing is that Dong'a must not lose, otherwise, Lu Bu's loss will be too great for him to bear.

Lu Bu's support value is only over 22000 points left. Once he loses Dong'a, he will be deducted [-] points directly, plus some losses, and the occupied villages, maybe his points will be directly reset to zero.

Even, not only will it return to zero, but it will also be reversed.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu looked around and saw that there was no good way for everyone, so he said slowly.

"Since this is the case, our army returned to Dong'e, and our defenses were lost."

Hearing these words, Chen Gong looked a little sad.

He wanted to get rid of the scourge of Cao Mengde, but unfortunately, the situation in front of him did not allow him to pursue and fight fiercely, so he could only give up for the time being.

The rest of the people also knew the importance of this, so naturally no one dared to stop them, and they all agreed with each other.

Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Lu Bu nodded and said loudly.

"Wei Xu, Song Xian and you two will bring 5000 soldiers and horses and rush to Dong'e as soon as possible, there must be no mistakes!"

"Following orders"

Seeing the two leave, Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong, and asked with a frown, "Gongtai, if the army leaves, what will happen to the refugees outside the city?"

The refugees helped Lu Bu defeat Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao came back, he would definitely not let these refugees go. That's why Lu Bu cared about this issue.

Chen Gong frowned, "Why don't we move all the refugees to the city in case something happens?"

As soon as the words fell, before Lu Bu could speak, Wang Kai waved his hands hastily, "No, if the refugees are moved into the city, on the one hand, it will affect the progress of land reclamation, on the other hand, the distance is too far, and going back and forth every day will also consume a lot of energy. Invisibly, it will also increase food consumption."

Hearing this, Xu Si couldn't help but nodded, and said with a wry smile, "Although Puyang still has some food, but now the food is so scarce, I heard that all places will increase the price, if you can save some, you still have to save, absolutely not waste."

Hearing what the two said, Chen Gong shook his head with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen is worried about the refugees, if they don't move into the city, how can they protect them?"

Wang Kai tentatively asked, "Can you leave a team of soldiers here to protect these refugees?"

Hearing this, Chen Gong couldn't help pointing at Wang Kai, and smiled wryly.

"Wang Wenxing, do you think that except for refugees, soldiers don't need to eat?"

Speaking of this, Chen Gong said with his fingers, "The number of soldiers left behind is too small to stop the enemy's attack, but if there are too many left, how much food will be consumed every day? In this way, it will be wasted instead. You Say it right?"

Wang Kai spread his hands, "Then what can I do?"

Hearing everyone talking, Qin Yilu suddenly said, "Back then, Marquis Wen once mentioned that among the refugees, young and strong were transferred out, and then trained, called skirmishers.

It's just that I have been busy with land reclamation during this period of time and have not implemented it. Why don't I take this opportunity to implement this method? What do you think? "

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't think of it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

(How to Quickly Obtain Support Points: Refugees Volume [-]) It has been introduced in detail above how to distribute refugees.

And this includes the stragglers Qin Yilu mentioned.

The meaning of skirmishers is the source of reserve troops scattered all over the place.

Because the reclaimed land is scattered, in order to facilitate farming, the number of refugees is not concentrated, and they all live nearby.

It is almost impossible to organize a large-scale military source and concentrate on training.

Therefore, the method of all the people as soldiers was adopted.

All the young and strong can be called the source of soldiers. In each place of residence, weapons are distributed according to the number of people, and then, they are trained intensively every seven days.

Although it is impossible to train all the people into a strong army, everyone can fight.

Once something happens, all people can take up arms and unite nearby to prepare for the enemy.

Although such a combination of soldiers and horses may not be able to repel the enemy, it will definitely be able to persist for a period of time, or inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Just like the last time refugees came to help out, if this method had been adopted long ago, all the people would be soldiers, and the combat effectiveness would definitely be more than doubled.

Thinking of this scene, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, starting today, all refugees will implement the straggler plan."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Qin Yilu, and said with a smile, "When you go back, tell General Han and let him execute it."

Han Hao didn't participate in the last battle, but Lu Bu didn't blame him either. After all, it was Cao Mengde he had to face.

If Han Hao really took up arms to deal with Cao Mengde, Lu Bu would be a little unhappy.

Xu Si frowned, "Marquis Wen, although this method can increase the combat effectiveness and allow those refugees to protect themselves, where do the weapons come from?"

This can't be difficult for Lu Bu, after all (How to Quickly Gain Support Points: Refugees Chapter [-]) has already written very clearly.

Distributing too many iron weapons is not conducive to safety, so iron weapons can only be distributed to some leaders, and the rest will use sharpened wooden sticks, or directly use wooden sticks.

Although the weapons are not dominant, but in terms of training, they can be trained to fight together to increase their combat effectiveness.

If four or five stragglers with sharpened sticks in their hands use the attack method of a spearman, they will also have full power.
