Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 184 Calculation
"what?"

Zhang Xun stood up suddenly and roared, "What did you say, you were also ambushed?"

Chen Jihe Le's expression changed in fright, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, "General Zhang, it's all my fault for waiting for rescue. I was ambushed by Cao Mengde, general, please come down."

Zhang Xun looked a little ugly, gritted his teeth, looked at the two of them, and punched the table hard.

"hateful!"

The South Route Army has a total of 45000 soldiers in the third route, and now it has lost [-], and only Lei Bo's troops are still holding on.

If you don't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid, Lei Bo's troops will also be wiped out.

Zhang Xun suddenly roared, "Come here, send someone to send a letter to the North Route Army immediately, telling them to withdraw their troops back."

Now there is only one way, shrink the troops, and then rescue Lei Bo of the South Route Army.

As soon as the words were finished, hurried footsteps came from outside the big tent, and a soldier hurried in and said loudly.

"General Zhang, it's not good. The Northern Route Army's Chen Lan's troops have been defeated by Liu Bei. General Chen Lan was killed. General Qiao Yu and General Li She have joined together and are now confronting Liu Bei's army."

"what?"

Zhang Xun stared wide-eyed at the soldier who sent the message, and then roared angrily, "Liu Bei, you dare to send troops to help Cao Mengde and even kill my general. It's really hateful."

Liang Gang said hastily, "General Zhang, please calm down, let's think of a way, how should we deal with the situation in front of us?"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Xun's forehead, and he quickly thought of a way.

The North Route Army and the South Route Army have a total of 6 troops, each with 15000 troops, for a total of 9 troops.

As the central route army, he led the remaining 6 troops to attack Pengcheng.

I thought that a multi-pronged attack would catch Cao Mengde off guard, but I never expected that Liu Bei, a coward, would dare to send troops.

What should we do now?
So many soldiers and horses have been lost, the South Route Army has almost collapsed, and the North Route Army has also been restrained by Liu Bei. What should we do?
Le gritted his teeth and said, "General Zhang, only General Lei's troops are left in the South Route Army. I'm afraid it will be dangerous. We must send troops to rescue."

Liang Gang tentatively said, "General Zhang, how about dividing 2 troops from the Central Route Army to rescue General Lei?"

Zhang Xun sighed, "Haven't you guys seen it? This is Cao Mengde's trick. He surrounded General Lei, and he wanted me to send troops to rescue him and break them down one by one."

Hearing this, Le's face changed, "But, we can't just watch General Lei being wiped out and just ignore it!"

Li Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed, "Most of the Southern Route Army has been wiped out, only General Lei's troops are left. If my predictions are correct, I'm afraid Cao Mengde has already attacked General Lei's troops.

Even if we dare to go to the rescue, I am afraid it will be too late. "

When everyone heard these words, their faces changed immediately, and they all turned to look at Zhang Xun.

There was more cold sweat on Zhang Xun's forehead, and for a while, he lost his mind.

He is also a veteran in the battlefield, and Yuan Shu deeply values ​​him, otherwise he would not be proven to be the commander of the 15 army.

At this moment, the northern and southern armies suffered heavy losses. Even if they wanted to retreat, it might not be so easy.

But the soldiers and horses that can be used now are only 6 in the Central Route Army.

There are still 3 soldiers and horses under the command of Beilu Junqiao and Li She. Now they are confronting Liu Bei. Even if they cannot win, they will not lose.

The only thing to worry about now is Lei Bo of the South Route Army, how to rescue him?

If, as Liang Gang said, 2 troops were sent to rescue him, would he be ambushed by Cao Mengde again?
If the 2 soldiers and horses were lost again, Zhang Xun's soldiers and horses would be insufficient, and it would not be so easy to capture Pengcheng at that time.

What should I do

Zhang Xun has always been known for his decisiveness in killing and attacking, but at this moment, he fell into deep hesitation.

Just when Zhang Xun was hesitating, hurried footsteps came from outside the big tent again.

Hearing the sound from outside, Zhang Xun's heart suddenly rose, and he raised his head hastily, and saw a person walking in. After seeing the person clearly, he was shocked.

"General Lei!"

It was Lei Bo who came, walked into the big tent, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "General Zhang, I am defeated, please forgive me!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xun sat down weakly and sighed, "General Lei, are you also defeated?"

Lei Bo nodded and told what happened.

When Lei Bo decided to lead his troops to evacuate, he did not expect what he expected. On the way, he encountered an ambush by Cao Jun and was immediately defeated. Almost the entire army was wiped out. He only managed to escape with two to three thousand people. Meet Zhang Xun.

Looking at the three people kneeling in front of him, Zhang Xun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared suddenly.

"You three wastes, Cao Mengde only has more than 1 soldiers and horses. This will defeat 45000 of you. What use are you for? I will withdraw and behead them all."

Liang Gang and Li Feng who stood aside were taken aback, and hurried forward to dissuade them, "General Zhang, now is the time for employing people, why don't you let them commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and give them a chance."

The three of Lei Bo looked at the soldiers rushing in, and their faces turned pale with fright, "General Zhang, we are willing to take the crime and make meritorious service, so give us another chance."

Hearing what the crowd said, Zhang Xun suddenly sighed and waved his hands, "Forget it, let's leave you to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. If anyone dares to make mistakes again, he will definitely be punished."

The three of them were overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly cupped their hands, "Thank you, General Zhang, we will definitely fight the enemy bravely, and will never let General Zhang down."

When the three of them left, Zhang Xun turned his head to look at Li Feng and Liang Gang, and asked with a wry smile, "The Southern Route Army has been completely wiped out. I'm afraid Cao Mengde is about to lead his troops here. How do you respond?"

Liang Gang thought for a while, then said slowly, "The reason why Cao Mengde was able to defeat the third army of the South Route Army was because he set up an ambush, caught us off guard, and took advantage of the convenience of defeating them one by one.

Although Cao Mengde defeated three soldiers and horses, his strength will definitely be damaged. Even if he leads troops, we have 6 soldiers and horses here. As long as the army comes, he will definitely not be our opponent, so there is no need to worry. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xun felt a little relieved and nodded, "The defeat of the South Route Army is set, I hope the North Route Army will not be defeated again, otherwise Cao Mengde and Liu Bei will gather in Pengcheng, I'm afraid!"

Although Zhang Xun didn't finish his words, the two of them knew the consequences.

If Liu Bei defeats the Northern Route Army and rushes to join Cao Mengde, the Central Route Army will face the siege of the two armies. I am afraid that this time the plan to crusade against Xuzhou will fail.

Zhang Xun sighed in his heart when he thought of what would happen if he failed.

I thought that bringing 15 troops to Xuzhou this time could completely crush and defeat Xuzhou soldiers and horses with a crushing force!

But never expected that not only Pengcheng was not captured, but even the South Route Army was completely defeated.

Li Feng suddenly said, "General Zhang, since the Southern Army has already been defeated, the Northern Army must not be defeated, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Having said that, Li Feng paused, and cupped his hands, "General Zhang, why don't you go to support the North Route Army, defeat Liu Bei as soon as possible, and dare to join us.

When our army faces Cao Mengde's troops, the chance of winning will be much greater. "

When Liang Gang heard these words, he also nodded, "General Li is right, the Northern Route Army really can't do it, so it's better to divide up and go to the rescue."

Hearing what the two said, Zhang Xun nodded after thinking for a long time, "Alright, General Li, you take 1 soldiers and horses to support the North Route Army. You must defeat Liu Bei's army as soon as possible."

Li Feng hurriedly cupped his hands, "The last general obeys."

……

Cao's army camp.

Cao Jun defeated three South Route Army in a row, and everyone was excited immediately, and the whole camp was full of festive atmosphere.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao smiled and said with a big smile as he looked at the warriors under his command.

"This time we were able to wipe out the Huainan South Route Army. You all made great contributions. When Yuan Shujun is driven away, I will congratulate you again."

When everyone heard the words, they cupped their hands one after another, "Thank you, my lord."

Cao Ren stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My lord, since the Southern Route Army has been wiped out, how about our army rush to Pengcheng, look for an opportunity to defeat Zhang Xun's troops, and drive Huainan troops out of Xuzhou?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, looked around at everyone, and was about to speak when Cheng Yu suddenly stepped forward, raised his hands and said.

"My lord, according to reports from the spies, Liu Bei is confronting the North Route Army."

Cheng Yu just explained the situation, didn't say any strategy, and didn't say anything wrong, because what he really wanted to say was the word "Liu Bei".

Lu Qian hurried forward, "As long as Liu Bei's army can defeat the Northern Route Army and rush over to join our army, this battle will surely be won."

Cheng Yu nodded, "That's true. If our two armies join together, there is a high chance that we can drive away the Huainan troops.

But what will happen after driving away? "

When everyone heard these words, their brows frowned.

Lu Qian suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Zhongde, do you mean Liu Bei?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "That's right, our army forcibly occupied Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei didn't say anything, I can be sure that he will be dissatisfied. Maybe he is still thinking of ways to take back Xuzhou."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly sneered, "And this time is the best opportunity."

Lu Qian's face changed, "Mr. Zhongde, do you mean that Liu Bei will take the opportunity to take back Xuzhou?"

Cheng Yu nodded, "Last time we captured Xuzhou while Liu Bei was fighting with Huainan soldiers and horses. This time, we have to guard against it!"

When everyone heard these words, they reacted and frowned.

Cao Cao also frowned and nodded, "Zhongde, you are right, Liu Bei will definitely take this opportunity to seize Xuzhou."

Lu Qian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since Liu Bei wants to seize the opportunity to take back Xuzhou, why don't we strike first and defeat him first, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Cao Cao nodded, turned to look at Cheng Yu, and asked slowly, "Zhongde, what do you think?"

Cheng Yu frowned and thought for a while, "Although Liu Bei can guard the northern gate for us, it's always a serious problem.

Huainan sent 15 soldiers and horses this time. If they are defeated, they will suffer heavy losses, and they will not be able to attack Xuzhou in a short time.

Since there is no need to guard against Huainan, and it is useless to keep Liu Bei, then take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate him, and save him from being disadvantageous to Xuzhou. "

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu didn't wait for Cao Cao's answer, and continued, "But now is the critical moment with Huainan soldiers and horses, and it's not too late for us to fight until we defeat Huainan soldiers and horses."

Lu Qian sneered, "Why don't we set up another strategy to wipe out Huainan soldiers and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses together?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu shook his head with a wry smile, "Last time Liu Bei was unprepared, and we were able to succeed. Now that we are prepared, it may not be so easy to trick him."

Lu Qian frowned, "Since he is prepared, it is really not easy for us to succeed."

Cao Ren snorted coldly, "Even if you don't need to use tricks to deal with mere Liu Bei, you can easily win!"

Cao Cao nodded, "Since that's the case, let's postpone this matter. It won't be too late for our army to take action after we defeat the Huainan soldiers and horses."

"Pass down the order, the army will rest for a day, and rush to Pengcheng to face Huainan soldiers and horses."

……

Liu Bei's camp.

"Brother, the cowards in Huainan didn't dare to fight, it's too hateful."

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Zhang Fei who was shouting loudly, and nodded, "Yide, you have worked hard these few days!"

In the battle between Liu Beijun and Chen Lan, relying on Zhang Fei's bravery, he took only two moves to pick Chen Lan, and then Yuan Shujun was defeated and returned.

Jian Yong frowned and said, "It seems that Qiao Zeng and Li She only want to hold us back, they don't want to compete with us!"

Sun Gan waved his hand and smiled slightly, "Actually, isn't this better?"

Hearing this, Jian Yong was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, "Gongyou is right, our goal this time is the Northern Route Army, no matter whether we can destroy them or not, we have already held them back, so it can be regarded as saying past."

Sun Qian nodded, "If our army defeats the troops of the two men, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of troops. It's better to continue the confrontation. It will be beneficial and harmless to our army!"

Jian Yong laughed and said, "We are confronting Huainan soldiers and horses here. Cao Mengde needs to defeat the South Route Army and Zhang Xun's soldiers and horses to solve Xuzhou's difficulties."

Speaking of this, Jian Yong suddenly sneered, "Even if Cao Mengde defeated the Southern Army, Zhang Xun of the Central Army still has 6 troops. If Cao Mengde wants to defeat these 6 troops, he will suffer heavy losses."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Although he didn't speak, he already understood what the two of them meant.

As long as Cao Cao defeats Zhang Xun, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and then he will besiege the two of them, and he will be able to take the opportunity to eliminate him.

Thinking of Cao Cao occupying his own Xuzhou, although Liu Bei's expression did not change, his fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

Cao Mengde, this revenge should be avenged!
Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard what everyone said, and then asked loudly, "Brother, what do you mean? Do you still want to keep those timid guys and not beat them?"

Jian Yong said with a smile, "General Zhang, keeping them is more beneficial to us than destroying them. Why fight?"

Sun Gan also laughed and said, "The two men under Qiaozheng will leave it to Cao Mengde, how can we defeat him first, haha."

Zhang Fei looked at the two who were laughing, and waved his hands vigorously, "Facing the enemy, don't defeat them, but keep them. I really don't know what you think."
