Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 614 Attacking Liang Kingdom

After Sun Jian's army arrived in Qiaojun, they were very cautious and rested for several days before mobilizing troops to Xiapi to test the strength of Xuzhou's army.

Yue Fei, the general of the Xuzhou Army, adopted the strategy of the military strategist Wang Meng. He neither sent his generals out of the city to fight nor took the initiative to attack rashly. He only took strict precautions and seemed determined to defend Xiapi City.

Sun Jian felt helpless. The city of Xiapi was strong, the walls and gates were tall, and the Xuzhou army was well-trained and well-trained. They were loved by the people. Once he decided to defend, the possibility of him taking Xiapi became extremely slim.

The people in Xuzhou have plenty of food and are not afraid of a protracted war, but the Jiangdong Army can't do it. The Jiangdong Army came from afar and broke the covenant to attack their allies.

"My lord, don't worry. Xuzhou's army has never been an army that can only stay on the defensive. Especially this time our army has reached the front of Xiapi City. According to Xuzhou's civil and military temperament, they are so cautious now that they are not really determined. Taking defense as offense is paralyzing our army, trying to find opportunities to fight, and catching our army by surprise."

Lu Su was far-sighted, he knew what Sun Jian was worried about, and he also had some understanding of Xuzhou's important civil and military affairs, so he spoke in relief.

"Report, my lord, Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning led the Qingzhou navy out of Hongze and went all the way south along the river. They are threatening to push Jianye to the east of the river. After Zhou Dudu found out, he went to take precautions in person. However, the Dudu once said that the enemy will Take it as a bluff, making a big splash."

"Sure enough, as Zijing said, this Yue Fei is really lurking for opportunities."

Sun Jian waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and then said: "Yue Fei has great intentions. There is nothing our army can do about it."

Lu Su said: "Steady, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If there are no gaps in the army, the Xuzhou army will have no chance to take advantage of it."

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said: "Although what Zijing said is safe, our army is different from the Xuzhou army. As long as the Xuzhou army holds us back, it will be considered a victory, but we can't afford it, nor can the entire princes and allies. After Liu Xie seized the time to repel Cao Mengde and Li Shimin first, it will be very difficult for us to retreat completely."

Zhuge Jin is not a radical and militant person, not to mention that he and Zhuge Liang are brothers of the same clan. He also contributed a lot to the alliance between the two parties, but each was his own master. As a counselor, he could only use what he had. Speak out of the perceived crisis.

As long as there is no war, Jiangdong can't give Liu Xie great restraint, and the pressure on Cao Cao and Li Shimin will be a little bit higher, which is equivalent to the Xuzhou army winning without a fight, and they have completed their mission well. task, and even have spare power to support the remaining two battlefields.

This was Wang Meng's first calculation. He had a clear view of the general situation and predicted that Jiangdong would not be able to defend. Once Sun Jian took the initiative to ask for a fight, he would have a chance to seize the enemy's opening and kill him.

Bu Zhi also nodded in agreement, and the other generals were even more eager to fight, and they all hoped that Sun Jian could take the initiative.

Sun Jian remained silent, fighting, easy to say but difficult to deal with.

He understood Liu Xie's temperament, and now he came with Liu Bei's two armies, but Liu Xie showed no sign of increasing troops to Xiapi. This was not Liu Xie's arrogance, but his confidence that the Xuzhou army could handle it.

In other words, if Sun Jian wants to fight, it is really difficult to win.

However, Jiangdong Tiger General has never been a person who is afraid of war, so he made a decision immediately and said firmly: "The situation is the same as water and fire, it is inevitable, pass my order, let Liu Bei lead his troops to attack Liang Guo, and the rest of the generals must prepare troops to prepare for battle. error!"

Going to attack Liang State?
When Lu Su and others heard this, they immediately reacted.

To the north of Qiaojun is Liang Guo, and further north of Liang Guo is Chenliu.

However, Liang Guo has Yang Zaixing and Chen Qingzhi, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. With the strength of Liu Bei's army alone, the attack will not be successful, but it will be easily surrounded by the Xuzhou army to form a siege.

As for Sun Jian, what he wanted was for the Xuzhou army to intercept Liu Bei.

Lu Su hesitated to speak, and attacked Liang Guo and threatened Chen Liu. He was worried that this move would be too radical. Once Liu was provoked to coordinate the army, they would suffer great losses in Jiangdong.

It's just that Sun Jian's military order has been issued, so he can't say anything more, he can only pray that Liu Xie is not an irritable person.

After Liu Bei received the order, he didn't know Sun Jian's plan, but he still didn't make any excuses, pretending to know nothing, and immediately led his troops to attack Liang Guo.

The news of Liu Bei's army movement was quickly detected by Xuzhou scouts, and when it spread to the army, Wang Meng couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Generals, fighter jets are here."

Hearing this, Yue Fei worried and said: "Sun Jian sent Liu Bei to attack the Liang Kingdom with a clear purpose. He just wanted us to go to support it. Whether it is true or not, it is related to Chen Liu's safety and we have to save it. But in this way, once Liu Bei Turn around and attack our army, and Sun Jian's army will also go north to encircle us, and our army will be surrounded by the enemy at that time, and I am afraid that the loss will be huge."

Xun You explained, "Liu Bei is not one to fight to the death, not to mention the tens of thousands of soldiers of the two generals Yang Zaixing and Chen Qingzhi, even if they cannot defeat Liu Bei, it is not a problem to entangle him."

According to Yue Fei's conjecture, the result at that time is actually more like what Xun You said. The Xuzhou army and Liang Guo's soldiers defeated Liu Bei first, and then turned to face Sun Jian's army.

However, it is impossible for Sun Jian not to know this, and Wang Meng's plan is by no means so simple.

"Since several military advisers are like this, well, Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Yue Yun stepped forward to listen to the order, and the four of you will lead [-] infantry and carry [-] Wei troops to support Liang Guo. Remember, this battle Safety is the top priority, don't be greedy for war!"

The four generals came out and clasped their fists in unison.

"The entire city of Xiapi only has 12 soldiers and horses. Yue Fei is so bold that he immediately gave Liang Guo [-] elite soldiers. Not only the brave generals such as Yuwen Chengdu, but also the heavy armored cavalry such as the Beiwei Army. , Liu Xie has helped the courtiers."

Sun Jian sighed lightly, then turned serious, and said again: "However, how could I, Sun Jian, not know that Liang Guo is such a dangerous place, and ordered Cheng Pu, Song Jiang, Ding Feng, and He Qi to attack with [-] troops and horses?" Guangling County."

After Cheng Pu's four generals got the order, they did not slack off and immediately led their troops to attack Guangling. At the same time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also understood Sun Jian's intentions and mobilized their navy to keep approaching Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning.

Attacking Liang State was just a cover. Sun Jian's real goal was to use Liu Bei to attract the troops of Xuzhou Army, and then take the opportunity to completely encircle and annihilate the Qingzhou Navy.

There should be only one navy in existence. The Qingzhou Navy was too great a threat to Jiangdong and had to be eliminated.

"The rest of the soldiers will attack Xiapi with this general!"

After a long confrontation, the battle situation finally changed. Sun Jian led 15 soldiers and horses to attack Xiapi.
