The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Persist a little longer." Lu Su said unmoved: "Xu Huang returns to aid Xiapi, then General Huang can return to Jiangdong safely."

Lu Su said with a sigh of relief: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of General Huang in the east of Jiangdong, and there is a big governor here. It is time to turn the crisis into safety."

"Governor?!" When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lu Su in surprise, with puzzled faces. Of course, the great governor Lu Su was talking about was Zhou Yu, but when did Zhou Yu return to Jiangdong? Wasn't he still sleeping in the army?

Seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, Lu Su explained: "I have already secretly arranged for my confidants to hide the governor in General Huang's army and leave with the old general."

When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath. No wonder Lu Su turned back and attacked Xiapi desperately. This was to force Xu Huang to mobilize to destroy them so that Huang Gai and Zhou Yu could leave safely.

Although Lu Su's plan put them in danger, Lu Su also gained everyone's approval.

Half a day later, Xu Huang led the army to arrive, and the result of the Jiangdong soldiers who attacked Xiapi can be imagined. Under the internal and external attacks, except for a small number of Jiangdong soldiers who escaped, most of the Jiangdong soldiers who attacked Xiapi were not killed. It was captured.

Outside the city of Xiapi, the corpses lay across the field, a scene of desolation, and the horses screaming.

As the commander of the army, Lu Su originally wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Zhou Tai and others, but he did not escape. Zhou Tai and others were seriously injured and captured, and Lu Su was also tightly tied up.

"Jiangdong Lu Zijing, his reputation is well-deserved."

After learning that everything was done by Lu Su, Guo Jia admired Lu Su very much.

Although this plan was a bit poisonous, it was mainly poisonous to myself. Not only did it kill more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers and horses, but it also involved itself. At the same time, Zhou Yu, the biggest threat, also quietly returned to Jiangdong.

But Guo Jia didn't worry too much, because just received the news that the Jiangdong Navy was finished and was wiped out by Gan Ning and Gao Shun. What surprised Guo Jia the most was the role of Fazheng in it. Gao Shun's ability to capture Jianye, and his ability to join forces with Gan Ning to destroy the Jiangdong navy were all due to Fazheng's plan.

"This person is very powerful. No wonder Ziming entrusted him with such a great matter." Guo Jia lamented Fazheng's great talent, and at the same time admired Chen Ziming's ability to understand people.

Few people knew about the plan to attack Jianye, not even Xu Huang, the chief general of the first army, but only a few people directly involved in the command.After Chen Ziming put forward this plan, everyone was shocked, but Guo Jia was not optimistic about this plan. It was too difficult. Any problem in any place would lead to the failure of the sneak attack, and the entire army of the sneak attack would be wiped out.

Moreover, when Chen Ziming chose the little-known Fazheng, he was opposed by almost everyone. They all thought that Zhuge Liang was the best candidate. At Lujin Pass, it was too eye-catching, and it was easy for people to see through the trick.

There are many key points in this plan. For example, Gan Ning must attract the defenders of Jianye, stay away from Jianye, and must hold back the Jiangdong navy. This is why Gan Ning is unwilling to retreat to the seaside after fighting in Jiaxing and Lu Meng. .

And Guo Jia retreated to Xiapi and made Zhou Yu attack Xuzhou, also to paralyze Sun Quan, make Sun Quan see the hope of victory, make Sun Quan think that everything is under his central control, relax his own protection, and also make Jianye empty and unrestrained self-knowledge.

Generally speaking, with the cooperation of all parties, the plan to attack Jianye was considered a success. The only thing that worried Guo Jia was that Sun Quan's whereabouts were still unknown in the military newspaper.

However, Guo Jia agrees with Fazheng's point of view. Sun Quan is likely to be trapped in Jianye City, otherwise Sun Quan would have stood up and led the troops from all sides in Jiangdong to counterattack Jianye and boost morale.

"With the two generals Gan Ning and Gao Shun, and one hundred thousand elites, with the talents of rectification, there should be no major problems."

The intelligence displayed by Fazheng reassured Guo Jia a lot. Even if Zhou Yu leads the army back, it is impossible to do anything to Fazheng and others for a while. Since Sun Quan is still in Jianye City, it will be a matter of time to catch him.

And after they finish resting here, they will lead the army to attack Jiangdong and attack Fazheng inside and outside. It will be a matter of time before Zhou Yu is killed. Without Sun Quan, Jiangdong can be said to be no threat, and the world is unified, which is half completed.

"Ziming should also start..."

Guo Jia turned his head to look in the direction of Guandu. He was in an unprecedentedly good mood. Everything was going well, and everything was within their calculations.

Five days ago, on the south bank of the Yellow River, on the edge of Guandu, Cao Cao looked at the other bank of the Yellow River with a murderous look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it is now certain that Wuchao is where Liu Bei stores food..."

This information made Cao Cao very excited. He felt that he had finally found a breakthrough to defeat Liu Bei. When he heard the news, he was so excited that he almost jumped up. Cao Cao, who has been fighting all the year round, knows the importance of this information. This will be a turning point, a comeback Opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Wuchao is too far ahead. With Chen Ziming's wisdom, he will leak such a flaw." Xi Zhicai's first reaction was that this was Chen Ziming's trick, and it was a bait for Cao Cao. He must not attack easily here.

"No." Chen Qun objected: "It is reported that Liu Bei has always used Wuchao as a place to store grain, not on a temporary basis, and Wuchao is connected to Yanjin, Pingqiu, Baima and other places, so it is actually the best place to store grain."

"You have to guard against it." Cheng Yu also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to take risks. We just need to hold on. For a long time, Liu Bei's army has no results. Jiangdong soldiers and horses attack Xuzhou, and Liu Bei will retreat without fighting." Xun You thinks it is better to maintain the status quo and not take risks.

After Cao Cao listened carefully to the opinions of many counselors, he frowned and thought hard. Although Cao Cao was good at accepting other people's opinions, he had his own opinions. The role of counselors was to make suggestions, and the final decision was still in his hands.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao, who has countless talents, is far inferior to Cao Cao. The decision maker is the most important thing.

"I, Cao Cao, can sit still and wait for death, and place my hope in the hands of others." After Cao Cao made up his mind, he snorted coldly and said, "Attack, you plan quickly."

With Cao Cao's order, the army began to move secretly. At this time, the news that Jianye was breached by Fazheng, Gao Shun and others had not yet reached here.

Chapter 624 False and True

However, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been facing each other across the river for more than half a year, and they know each other very well. Cao Cao's abnormal mobilization of soldiers and horses will also deceive Liu Bei.

"What is Cao Cao going to do?" Liu Bei sat at the head, frowning and asked several advisers.

"Your Majesty." Ju Shou said, "I think Cao Cao intends to attack."

With that said, Jushou stood up, came to the map, pointed to the map of Guandu area and said: "Cao Cao's troops and horses were transferred eastward, blatantly, and it seemed that they wanted to concentrate their troops and horses to attack Wuchao, but in fact they went out by day and returned by night. Cao Cao's army is still there." Guandu."

"Otherwise." Yan Xing objected: "Cao Cao's goal is still Wuchao. Cao Chun must have discovered the place where our army is storing food. He wants to attack Wuchao and seize the army's food and grass, but he is afraid that we will be prepared Using false and real tactics, we blatantly mobilized the army, making us mistakenly think that they came out at night and returned at night, but in fact the army was gathered on the other side of the Wuchao."

"Why does Cao Cao need to do this..." Ju Shou objected immediately.

Several counselors also expressed their opinions, and there was no unified point of view for a while, which not only failed to make Cao Cao's purpose clear, but made Liu Bei's thoughts even more confused.

"Zi Ming."

Liu Bei had no choice but to shift his gaze to Chen Ziming.

"Brother..." Sensing Liu Bei's gaze, Chen Ziming immediately called softly, and then signaled Liu Bei to pay attention to the other person.

Chen Ziming was also helpless, he was confused by what he heard, and he could figure out this kind of false and real strategy, but let him guess the false and real strategy Cao Cao is using now, he is not sure, if one is not good, Cao Cao will be hit The plan is, if the guess is wrong, let Cao Cao have a big victory at Guandu, and it will be fun.

"Huh?" Following Chen Ziming's gaze, Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly when he saw a person listening to everyone's discussion with a calm expression and did not express his own opinion. This person was Jia Xu, another top counselor under Liu Bei.

Jia Xu's low-key made Liu Bei speechless, and often made Liu Bei forget this person, but Jia Xu's intelligence was very terrifying, and he made several shots, which was considered exhaustive, but what made Liu Bei helpless was that Jia Xu was so low-key that Liu Bei thought Is he the faint king who murdered the heroes?

"Wenhe." Seeing that Jia Xu still had no intention of speaking, Liu Bei could only ask himself: "What do you think about this matter?"

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu was slightly taken aback. It seemed that he did not expect Liu Bei to ask him a question. Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, Liu Bei would ask Chen Ziming: "Cao Cao's sudden mobilization of troops is nothing more than to communicate with Your Majesty. I don’t want to procrastinate any longer.”

Jia Xu continued: "Since Cao Cao dared to send troops rashly, he must be sure of victory. The enemy and us are equal in strength. How can Cao Cao be confident? Only when he knows the weakness of our army can he defeat us in one blow."

Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing this, and fought head-on. Although Liu Bei has fewer troops than Cao Cao, Liu Bei is confident that he can defeat Cao Cao. Of course Cao Cao also knows the difference in combat power between the two armies, so Jia Xu’s analysis is correct. Liu Bei motioned Jia Xu to continue. .

Jia Xu saluted slightly, and then said: "If you want to destroy our army, the only way is to destroy the Wuchao!"

Jia Xu said affirmatively: "Wuchao is the place where the army stores food. If the food and grass in Wuchao are destroyed, the army will be chaotic without fighting. Cao Cao can take advantage of the situation and attack. Therefore, I think that Cao Cao's goal is still Wuchao. "

After Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and asked: "If Cao Cao attacked Wuchao, he should mobilize troops secretly. Why did he not hide anything and let us be on guard?"

"Your Majesty." Jia Xu still said calmly, "No matter how secretly Cao Cao mobilizes troops, it will be difficult to hide the truth from our scouts, so he uses false tactics.",

"Why?" Liu Bei still didn't understand what Jia Xu meant.

Jia Xu explained: "When Cao Cao's army is mobilized, His Majesty must mobilize troops to take precautions. No matter whether Cao Cao surrenders or attacks by force, it will be difficult for him to go to Wuchao. His Majesty will even take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao."
