Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 222 Doubt

Upon hearing these words, Xin Ping hurriedly said, "My lord, we still need to send out more spies to inquire about the situation, and we must not make any mistakes."

Yuan Tan nodded, "Okay, pass on the order, send more spies to inquire, and the army will continue to advance."

All the generals clasped their hands in classical Chinese, "The last general obeys."

Early the next morning, [-] Qingzhou soldiers and horses rushed all the way to the hilly area.

As long as the soldiers and horses of the Qingzhou Army follow the official road, this hilly area will never be bypassed, so this is the only way to go.

……

Langya County.

Zang Ba frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, looking preoccupied.

Not long after, Wu Dun and Yin Li, who were ordered to come here, came in from the door. Seeing Zang Ba hurriedly cupped their hands, "I have seen General Zang."

Zang Ba waved his hand and said slowly, "The spies have returned the news. The Northern Navy has been stationed in Dongxu and has no signs of leaving."

Wu Dun suddenly said, "General Zang, is it possible that the Northern Navy is stationed in Dongxu just to defend against our army and has no other plans?"

Yin Li frowned, "But, why didn't you come earlier, why didn't you come later, why did you come at this time?"

Zang Ba frowned, "The spies who went to Xuzhou have also returned, and troops are gathering there."

"what?"

Hearing this news, Wu Dun and Yin Li were taken aback at the same time, "Where do Xuzhou's troops want to go?"

They are not afraid of Kong Rong in Beihai, but the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou.

Once there is any movement from the Xuzhou Army, they will not dare to be careless.

After all, Langya County belongs to Xuzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. In its current state, Langya County is almost independent, and Xuzhou has never issued an order, or in other words, even if it is issued, no one will obey it.

Yin Li settled down, "General Zang, could it be that the Xuzhou Army wants to take back Langya County?"

Hearing this sentence, Zang Ba felt even more irritable, and waved his hands, "The soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are only gathering, but there is no news about where they are going."

Wu Dun waved his hand, "General Zang, is it because we are paranoid that the Xuzhou army is assembled, and we don't necessarily have to come here. Maybe we will go to Huainan, maybe we will go to Guangling. No matter how bad it is, maybe we want to return to Yanzhou from Xiaopei."

Speaking of this, Wu Dun clapped his hands suddenly, and said with a smile, "I understand, the Xuzhou army must know that Yanzhou is under attack, so they gathered troops and horses and prepared to go back to rescue, are you right?"

Hearing Wu Dun's analysis, Zang Ba's eyes lit up, "General Wu, what you said makes sense."

Wu Dun said with some pride, "Of course, otherwise, where would the Xuzhou army go when they gather?"

Yin Li frowned, then waved his hands and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that's not the case!"

Wu Dun turned his head to look at Yin Li, frowned and asked, "If you don't think you are going to rescue Yanzhou, where else can you go?"

Yin Li put his hand on his chin, thought carefully, and said slowly, "We all know what happened in Yanzhou, and Xuzhou must have known about it earlier than we did. Since they want to rescue them, how could they delay the rescue until now?" Gather troops and horses and prepare to go to the rescue.

If this is the case, I am afraid that when they are assembled and lead the army to Yanzhou, the battle in Yanzhou will be over, so what's the use of going? "

Wu Dun frowned, "Don't you want to go to Yanzhou?"

Zang Ba slowly asked, "If you're not going to Yanzhou, where will you go?"

Yin Li smiled wryly and cupped his hands, "General Zang, what's happening now is very strange. Kong Rong from Beihai, who has never been hostile, is now leading troops to Dongxu, and Xuzhou's troops are also gathering at this time. You say, Will the two parties be connected?"

Hearing this, Wu Dun was surprised, "Do you think the Xuzhou Army and the Beihai Navy have united to deal with us?"

Yin Li waved his hand, "This is just a guess, but who can guarantee that it's not true?"

Hearing this, Wu Dun suddenly sneered, if they dare to come, "I will drive them back and let them taste our power."

Yin Li shook his head, "If it's just the Beihai Navy, it's nothing to worry about. Now that the Xuzhou Army is added, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for our army to deal with it."

Hearing what the two said, Zang Ba nodded, "This is exactly what this general is worried about, so I asked you two to discuss."

Hearing this, Yin Li's heart moved, "General Zang is talking about sending troops to Yanzhou?"

Zang Ba nodded, "Qingzhou soldiers and horses have already set off. If we don't hurry over there, the battle may be over. Even if we send troops by then, it will be too late."

Hearing these words, Yin Li shook his head with a wry smile, "General Zang, if we send troops now, if the Northern Navy and Xuzhou Army really unite to attack Langya County, our army will be in danger.

Even if we succeed in attacking Yanzhou by then, we will have no way out, which will probably be even more detrimental to our army. "

Hearing this, Zang Ba nodded, "That's right, it's true, that's why I asked the two of you to discuss."

Speaking of this, Zang Ba paused, sighed, and continued, "I want to discuss, should we send troops?"

At this time, Zang Ba hesitated a little. Should he send troops?
Sending troops to help Qingzhou soldiers and horses can certainly benefit, but the price is losing his hometown, and Zang Ba is absolutely unwilling.

But if he didn't send troops, he wasted this good opportunity, and he was a little bit reluctant.

Hearing Zang Ba's question, Wu Dun waved his hands, "General Zang, I don't think it needs to be said, Langya County is important, we should be careful of Beihai and Xuzhou Army, we can't go to Yanzhou."

After hearing Wu Dun's words, Zang Ba nodded, then turned to look at Yin Li, and asked slowly, "General Yin, what's your opinion?"

Yin Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "General Zang, I have the same opinion as General Wu. If something happens here, everything will be closed."

Hearing what the two said, Zang Ba hesitated again in his heart. After a long time, he finally made up his mind and nodded.

"Since that's the case, let's let go of the dispatch of troops this time."

Hearing this, Yin Li suddenly said, "General Zang, this opportunity is really rare. We should send more spies to find out what these two groups of soldiers are talking about. If there is a chance, we still have to send troops to help Qingzhou. Get more benefits."

Speaking of this, Yin Li sighed, "Once Qingzhou wins and occupies Yanzhou, I am afraid it will be even more detrimental to our army."

Hearing this, Zang Ba nodded, "That's the only way to go. After you two go back, you must not relax in the affairs of the barracks. If there is a chance, we will send troops.

In addition, we must also handle the matter of the Beihai Navy and Xuzhou Army carefully and not make any mistakes. "
