Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 288 Zhang Liao's Question

Gao Shun had already stood up and said, "Marquis Wen, I will send people to search immediately. We must find the red rabbit horse."

Lu Bu looked at the indignant looks on everyone's face and waved his hand, "No need, the red rabbit horse has been taken out of the city, there is no point in looking for it anymore."

"what?"

Gao Shun's eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Lu Bu in disbelief, "Marquis Wen, what's going on? The four doors are closed. How could someone steal the red rabbit horse and take it out of the city?"

Zhang Liao stood up suddenly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "Marquis Wen, could it be...?"

He didn't finish what he said, because once the truth came out, the consequences would be disastrous!

Lu Bu nodded, and said slowly, "That's right, someone in our city betrayed everyone, stole the Chitu horse, and left the city."

Cheng Lianqi gritted his teeth, "Marquis Wen, who the hell is it and which dog made it, I will definitely not let him go."

Lu Bu said calmly, "It's Hou Cheng. He stole the red rabbit horse and has now arrived at the Jizhou Army's camp."

"Hou Cheng?"

When everyone heard this name, they couldn't believe their ears, "How is it possible? Hou Cheng has been an old brother for many years, how could he betray Marquis Wen."

Zhang Liao stared at Lu Bu with wide-eyed eyes, his heart was tightly suspended, and he suppressed his beating heart, and said slowly.

"Marquis Wen, Hou Cheng stole the red rabbit horse, so he left through the south city gate?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, Hou Cheng stole the red rabbit horse and left through the south city gate."

Zhang Liao hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, I know the hard work on the city wall. Please allow me to go to the south gate to defend. In addition, I hope that Marquis Wen will order Cheng Lian to go to the east gate to defend."

Cheng Lian on the side couldn't help but was stunned when he heard these words, "General Zhang, if you and I both go to the city wall to defend, what will happen to the Bingzhou cavalry? If something happens, who will take charge."

Zhang Liao didn't answer Cheng Lian's words, but still looked at Lu Bu, "Marquis Wen, please grant the general's request."

When Lu Bu heard Zhang Liao's words, he appreciated him a little more, because he knew that Zhang Liao had already seen the problem.

"General Zhang, I've asked everyone to come here this time to discuss this matter."

Cheng Lian scratched his head, "General Zhang, why do you suddenly want to go to the city wall to defend? Now that Chengshang already has General Song and General Wei, do we still need so many people to command?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Lian frowned, thought carefully, and suddenly realized, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, pointed at Zhang Liao, and asked in a trembling voice.

"General Zhang, do you doubt, you doubt the two of them?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, "General Cheng, this is not doubt, but worry. If something happens, I will regret it."

Lu Bu coughed lightly and said calmly, "General Zhang, you don't have to worry about anything. Now I can tell you clearly that Hou Cheng is not the only one who betrayed us. I have already received the exact information. Song Xian and Wei Xudu has betrayed us."

"what?"

Everyone jumped up one after another, staring at Lu Bu with wide eyes, "Marquis Wen, how is this possible?"

Zhang Liao sighed, "I can't believe that what I was worried about happened."

Gao Shun snorted coldly, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, please allow the general to take them down."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "General Gao, now is not the time."

Cheng Lian had also reacted and said loudly, "Marquis Wen, if we don't take them down, if they open the city gate, we will regret it."

Lu Bu nodded, leaned forward, and said slowly, "Everyone, I and Gongtai have discussed a solution on this matter. If there are no accidents, we should be able to take this opportunity to repel the Jizhou army.

I came here this time just to discuss this matter. "

After saying this, Lu Bu winked at Chen Gong who was next to him, motioning him to reveal his plan.

Chen Gong sighed secretly in his heart, stepped forward, explained the plan he had discussed with Lu Bu in detail, and finally said.

"It's probably impossible to defend the city now, so we can only win in danger."

Cheng Lian gritted his teeth and yelled, "Great, since we have the chance, let's fight him once. Even if we lose, we'll be happy."

Zhang Liao frowned, "Mr. Gongtai, this plan seems feasible, but if you think about it carefully, it is really too dangerous."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao paused, but then, without waiting for Chen Gong to answer his own words, he shook his head and said.

"Let's not talk about the previous plan, let's talk about burning the food of the Jizhou Army, which is a big problem.

According to the general law of camping, food is the most important thing. When the two armies are fighting, most of them are placed in the middle of the army to protect the food and prevent it from being attacked by the enemy.

And in a siege battle, especially a siege battle like ours, it is almost certain that the grain of the Jizhou army will be placed at the back, just to prevent our army from rushing out suddenly and then burning their grain.

Since the food of the Jizhou army is placed at the back, after our army rushes in, it must pass through the camp in front and the Chinese army before reaching the place where the food is placed at the back.

At such a long distance, there will definitely be many Jizhou Army soldiers coming forward to stop us. Although our army is cavalry, in the camp, the tents are set up in a series, which can effectively prevent the cavalry from charging.

In other words, even if our cavalry is elite, it will not be able to deploy in the camp for a while, and it will not be able to exert the power that the cavalry should have. They are just infantry on horses. When fighting the enemy, their only advantage is that they are slightly higher than the enemy.

But even this advantage is actually a disadvantage on our side. If the cavalry cannot launch a charge, and its position is much higher than that of ordinary infantry, it will become a target for the enemy's archers, and there is no way to do it well. If you dodge, you will definitely suffer heavy damage.

The current cavalry of our army is a force not to be underestimated when charging, but I am afraid that it is only 1000 ordinary soldiers who charge into the enemy's camp.

When the enemy sees this situation, all he needs to do is send a large number of archers, which will cause our army heavy losses, or even annihilate the entire army.

Under such circumstances, it is already difficult to rush from the front army to the middle army. What's more, it is almost impossible to rush from the middle army to the rear army and complete the task of setting fire. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao sighed and cupped his hands, "Mr. Gongtai, I think this plan will never succeed."
