Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 218 Hilly Area
In order to facilitate the refugees to reclaim land, many refugee camps were set up outside the city, and these refugee camps also contained food for survival.

If the Qingzhou soldiers and horses really robbed these grains, they might be able to hold on for a long time.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Feng's forehead, and he said with a wry smile, "Mr. Shiyuan, if this is really the case, I'm afraid I will be the first to be unable to hold on!"

Pang Tong nodded, "We are surrounded in the city and cannot raise food. When the food is exhausted, our army will definitely be defeated."

Qin Yilu sighed after hearing what the two said, "If we lose those refugees, once Marquis Wen finds out, I'm afraid he won't be able to spare us."

Everyone knew that Lu Bu attached great importance to those refugees, so they couldn't help but smile wryly when they heard these words.

Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang are newcomers. At first, they thought that Lu Bu took in those refugees to win people's hearts. But after a long time, they realized that Marquis Wen treated these refugees as his family. Refugees are not good, Marquis Wen is the first to spare them.

If everyone defends Juye and ignores the refugees outside, when the Qingzhou soldiers arrive, these refugees will definitely suffer a lot. Even if they win the battle, they may not be able to account for it.

Li Feng tentatively said, "If we transfer the refugees, bring the food back to the city, and then guard Juye, is it feasible?"

Hearing this, Qin Yilu waved his hands hastily, "Magistrate Li, the number of refugees is large and scattered, and it may take a long time to transfer them back.

Now, the Qingzhou Army has arrived, and in terms of time, it may be too late. "

Li Feng said with a wry smile, "Since time is running out, how should we deal with it?"

When everyone heard this, they all turned to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was personally selected by Lu Bu to lead Juye, no matter how many ideas and suggestions everyone had, they all needed Pang Tong's nod.

Pang Tong looked at everyone's gaze, nodded, and said slowly, "Since there is not enough time to transfer the refugees, our idea of ​​holding on to Juye may not be realized."

At this point, a gleam flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "In that case, we will go out of the city to fight. As long as the Qingzhou soldiers and horses are driven back, the matter will naturally be solved."

"Out of town to fight?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this sentence.

"Mr. Shiyuan, are you really going out of town to fight?"

Li Feng said with a wry smile, "Mr. Shi Yuan, although this can save those refugees, but according to the strength of our army, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of Qingzhou soldiers and horses.

When the time comes to be defeated by Qingzhou soldiers and horses, the southeastern part of Yanzhou will no longer be able to stop its troops. How can it be worthy of Marquis Wen's trust? "

The soldiers and horses in Juye City can be said to be the entire military force in the southeast of Yanzhou. Once defeated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Qingzhou soldiers and horses can drive straight in from the southeast of Yanzhou, go straight to Puyang, and use the method of siege from two sides to defeat Lu Bu's army. At that time, the entire Yanzhou will belong to Yuan Shao's hands.

It is for this reason that everyone has suggested that they want to defend Juye, preserve their strength, and most importantly, contain the [-] Qingzhou soldiers and horses to buy time for Lu Bu's army in Puyang.

The responsibility is really heavy, so everyone dare not act rashly. Now that they heard that Pang Tong was going out of the city to fight, although no one was afraid, it made people even more worried. Once defeated, there would be no room for relaxation.

Xu Huang frowned and asked, "Mr. Shi Yuan, you said you were going out of the city to fight, but do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Pang Tong nodded and said slowly, "There is a hilly area 70 miles away from here. Our army can meet the enemy here."

Li Feng was stunned when he heard these words, "Mr. Shiyuan, do you want to set up an ambush in the hilly areas and defeat the Qingzhou soldiers and horses?"

Pang Tong nodded, "That's right, as long as you all cooperate to fight, although there are as many as [-] troops in Qingzhou, it's nothing to worry about."

Li Feng waved his hand hurriedly, "Mr. Shiyuan, I don't know if you have been to that hilly area, but I have been there and I have seen the terrain there."

Upon receiving this, Li Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, "Mr. Shi Yuan, the hilly area is just a few barren hills, and there is no dangerous terrain for us to set up an ambush.

What's more, although there is an official road there, the place where the official road passes is the flattest part of the hilly area. If you want to set up an ambush on both sides, you can only succeed with a force as fast as the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

And we are all infantry, if we are set up on both sides of the official road, by the time we come out from both sides, I am afraid that Qingzhou soldiers and horses will have already made preparations, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, how can we set up an ambush? "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned. The little hope that had just risen was instantly extinguished like being poured by cold water.

Xu Huang was not a local, so he naturally didn't know the situation here, so he asked tentatively, "Magistrate Li, think about it carefully. This is a hilly area. Isn't there a place where you can set up an ambush?"

Li Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "General Xu, if there was a place where I could set up an ambush, I would have thought of it a long time ago. It's a pity that there isn't. The mountains there are not high, and there are no dangerous areas!"

Xu Huang frowned, turned his head to look at Pang Tong who was sitting in the main seat, and asked slowly, "Mr. Shi Yuan, is what County Magistrate Li said true?"

Pang Tong nodded, "That's right, there is indeed no dangerous area there, and it is not suitable for setting up ambushes."

Xu Huang frowned even more tightly, "Mr. Shiyuan, since you also know that it is not suitable to set up an ambush there, why do you still want to fight there?"

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "General Xu, a soldier is ever-changing."

Li Feng said with a wry smile, "Mr. Shiyuan, I also know that the battle situation is changing rapidly, but there is indeed no dangerous area there, and our army's strength is not as good as that of the Qingzhou Army. If we fight the opponent in such a place, I'm afraid it's us who will suffer. .”

Qin Yilu sighed, "Mr. Shiyuan, if you choose to fight there, it is better to find a way to withdraw the refugees as soon as possible. This seems to be safer."

Pang Tong shook his head and said slowly, "There is indeed no dangerous terrain there, but I have decided to fight the Qingzhou soldiers and horses there. Do you have any objections?"

When everyone saw that Pang Tong wanted to go his own way, they couldn't help but be stunned. Li Feng hurriedly said, "Mr. Shiyuan, you know you will lose, but you still try your best, no!"

Pang Tong waved his hand, with a proud smile on his lips, "County Magistrate Li, in someone's eyes, the [-] Qingzhou soldiers and horses are just chickens and dogs. It is easy to win."
