Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 370 Five ways to attack Cao?Give back to him in the same way!
The night was like a rock, and the rain was pouring. In the cold rain, several fast horses drove quickly from the official road to Xudu City.

"Get it..."

Following the neighing of a horse, several knights reined in their horses suddenly at the east gate of Xudu City. The horses raised their hooves, and a long neighing broke the rainy night.

The gatekeepers wanted to ask a few questions, but the knight shouted.

——"This is an urgent report to Cao Sikong and Lu Situ... It was delayed, how can you bear the responsibility?"

Under the rain, after the voice.

The defenders clearly saw the tokens in the hands of several fast horses, including the tokens of the Huben Army and Long Xiaoqi. Now, without further delay, they hurriedly opened the city gate and let these knights enter the city.

The several knights looked at each other and went to Sikong Mansion and Situ Mansion respectively...

Even if it's late at night.

But... such an urgent item must be delivered as soon as possible.

...

...

Situ Mansion, outside the study, a row of soldiers from the Long Xiao Battalion stood guard, guarding the safety of the place.

In the study room, there was a desk, and Lu Yu sat on the main seat. Opposite the desk, three people sat in turn, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Xu Shu, each with a cup of strong tea in front of them.

This is the core team of Longxiao Battalion.

And the urgent mail came...

——Sun Ce was assassinated.

——Guangling Victory.

Along with it, there is a letter sent by Lu Xun himself.

The content of the letter was arranged by Chen Gong. Next, the Lu family's strategy for the rise of Jiangdong requires the cooperation of Lu Yu in many places.

Read out with letter paper one by one.

Lu Yu finally showed a little smile on his face.

Everything is going according to plan, isn't this a happy event?
Lu Yu smiled slightly, and opened his mouth first: "Everyone? How about it, the five-way attack on Cao Cao, the first round of the Jiangdong Xiaobawang has not yet succeeded!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu and Liu Ye laughed while stroking their beards.

Xu Shu was a little surprised...

Is this too fast?

Whether it was breaking the siege of Guangling or assassinating the little overlord Sun Ce, it was a thunderous attack, so swift and fierce!

At this moment, Xu Shu just recalled... A few days ago, what Lu Situ mentioned was the meaning of Jiangdong's surprise.

And more importantly, not only these...

The five offensives he deployed to attack Cao Cao could affect the whole body. If Jiangdong failed to succeed, then... the other four routes have a lot of room for maneuvering.

"Lu Situ's ingenious calculation, Xu admires, admires!"

Xu Shu bowed his hands to Lu Yu, with admiration written all over his face.

Lu Yu waved his hand, "Jiangdong's great victory, Sun Bofu's assassination, Chen Deng, Chen Gong and the others must have made great contributions, but...Mr. Xu also deserved the credit!"

Hearing this, Xu Shu lowered his head subconsciously, a little ashamed...

The strategy he laid out by himself, he will solve it by himself...how can he not be ashamed?
"Mr. Xu..." Lu Yu's words came out one after another. "Next? Which road do you think should be broken?"

call…

As soon as this question came up, Xu Shu raised his spirits a little. He stretched out his finger and swipe across the map on the table in front of him, and finally landed in the direction of Xiapi City in Xuzhou!
"The 'Pioneer' who attacked Cao Cao on the fifth route returned in a big defeat. Next...we should defeat Liu Bei with a thunderbolt and take down Picheng! There are three advantages to such an action..."

Xu Shu said in detail: "Firstly, Jiangdong's letter stated that he wanted Mr. Lu to send people from Guangling southwards to go straight to Jiangdong, so as to cooperate with the next step. But if we don't take down Picheng, our army will not be able to reach Guangling city. , this plan to go south is out of the question!"

"Secondly, Liu Bei has lost the strong support of Sun Ce, and his soldiers are former Yuan Shu's soldiers. Most of them are bandits and bandits. As far as Liu Bei is concerned, the morale of the army is not stable, and it is enough to take it with one fell swoop!"

"Thirdly, defeating Sun Ce in a quick way is a blow to the so-called 'Allied Forces'. Then...if Liu Bei can be wiped out with a destructive force...then..."

Xu Shu didn't finish his speech, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.

Sun Ce is defeated first, and Liu Bei is defeated again. Then the other three princes, especially Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Liu Biao... have to re-evaluate their relationship with Cao Cao.

——The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!

No one is a fool, as long as you don't eat the mutton, you can't make a fuss about it!

"only…"

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused, "The only thing we need to pay attention to is Yuan Shao who is going south! That's 30 troops!"

"If you want to defeat Liu Bei with thunderous momentum, it may not be difficult for Cao's army to overwhelm the territory, but... once you want to leave enough troops to prevent Yuan Shao's invasion, then going to Picheng... may not be settled in one battle."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyeballs blinked.

He understood what Xu Shu meant...

This is game theory, how to quickly defeat Liu Bei on the premise of being able to resist Yuan Shao is the key to turning the current balance of power into a victory.

"Mr. Xu's strategy has come to this point, next... let me give specific instructions!"

Lu Yu blinked his eyes, and looked towards Cheng Yu.

"Cheng Sima, I have to trouble you to go to the north?"

North?

Cheng Yu thought for a while, then asked back, "Is it Yanmen? Or Youzhou?"

That's right...

In his opinion, Yuan Shao's 30 army marched south, and his rear was not stable. Whether it was Yang Xiu from Yanmen or Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, this was a hidden danger!

Mr. Lu sent him to the northern border, it seems that he mobilized these two "hidden dangers"!
Unexpectedly, Lu Yu waved his hand directly, and then said with a smile. "neither."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu beckoned Cheng Yu to come over, and then whispered a few words in his ear in very low and delicate words.

It is clear…

Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly enlarged, it turned out to be him?

blurted out...

Cheng Yu cupped his hands and bowed... "It's not too late, then I'll set off right away, so we can surround Yuan Shaoyuan's original Jizhou in three ways!"

Cheng Yu said quite firmly
It's just... "Sanlu", these two words blurted out, Lu Yu shook his head.

"Cheng Sima, it's not three roads, but five roads..."

"Yuan Benchu ​​was able to defeat Cao in five ways! Let's give him five ways to defeat Yuan, and use his way to return to him!"

five way?

There are two more ways?
At this moment, Cheng Yu was a little dazed, but... he quickly came to his senses, he is not a person who likes to ask questions, and he will do whatever Mr. Lu tells him to do. Over the years... Hasn't it always been like this?

"Master Lu, Cheng Yu bids farewell!"

After bowing his hands, Cheng Yu left the room first.

After deploying Yuan Shao's side, Xu Shu had some question marks in his heart and wanted to ask what happened.

Can…

But Lu Yu asked people to prepare paper and pen, and wrote three letterheads one after another, one for Qin Yilu in Youzhou, one for Yang Xiu and Lu Bu in Bingzhou, and one for Zhong Yao in Guanzhong.

Of course, when writing Zhong Yao's letter, Lu Yu knocked on his forehead several times...

It seems to be deliberately recalling something.

In the end, it took a full quarter of an hour to complete the letterhead.

After writing the three letters, he immediately handed them over to Dian Wei and asked him to arrange for Long Xiao to send them over seven hundred miles in an expedited manner.

After doing all this, Lu Yu's eyes turned back to Xu Shu again.

There was a little more confidence in his tone.

"Since the Guanzhong, Northern Territory, and Jiangdong have been properly arranged, the only thing left is Liu Biao of Jingzhou..."

"As for this Jingzhou..."

Lu Yu was about to continue to give orders, but Xu Shu took the initiative to beg for his life: "If Mr. Lu can trust me, let me stop Liu Biao's attack!"

"After all, the source of this disaster lies with me. If I sit in the army, I feel a little bit sorry."

this…

Lu Yu's eyeballs blinked. He originally wanted to let the big flicker Jia Xu and the Northland Spear King Zhang Xiu go, but Xu Shu even volunteered, so...send him too.

"Come on, over there in Wancheng...General Zhang Xiu and Mr. Jia are very familiar, I will send someone to inform Cao Sikong later, you all go together!"

"Here!"

Xu Shu agreed, and he took the order!

Immediately... also retreated slowly, and immediately made preparations for going south...

Now Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Han Sui, and Ma Teng all have arrangements...

Next, only Liu Bei is left!

As Xu Shu said...

If you deal with Liu Bei, you will be able to defeat Liu Bei's mission with a thunderbolt!

Lu Yu felt that this task had to be done by Lao Cao, presumably... the old Cao is holding his breath because of Liu Bei's incident!

Thinking about this...

Lu Yu immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and sent soldiers from the Longxiao Battalion to the Sikong Mansion again!
He closed his eyes, and went through all the calculations and arrangements in his mind again...

On the contrary, the newly promoted uncle Liu Ye was a little confused...

Mr. Lu entrusts everyone with a heavy responsibility, but he alone... This is a bit embarrassing.

"Young Master Lu..." Liu Ye suddenly stood up. "What does the officer do?"

Oh…

Liu Ye's words reminded Lu Yu.

he...

Blinking his eyes slightly, Lu Yu said with a smile: "Uncle Liu Huang, you are different from them. You are a talented person. I am more optimistic about your ingenious skills than military tactics."

While talking, Lu Yu took out a piece of silk cloth and started to draw directly...

What appeared on the screen was a catapult. Lu Yu pointed at the catapult and reminded: "I think there are several areas that need to be improved in the catapult in Caoying, such as...here, here...and here. ..."

In Lu Yu's memory, Liu Ye was the man who could build the "Thunderbolt Car" in the future.

As for the manufacturing blueprint of this thunderbolt car, Lu Yu doesn't know it.

But... it won't matter.

Lu Yu simply pointed out the disadvantages of the existing catapult...

Then, let this Uncle Liu Ye study it carefully, remove the pollution and keep it clean, and improve it... If the thunderbolt car can be developed before the battle of Guandu, then the battle of Guandu will be interesting.

Of course…

Liu Ye naturally didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking, so he just wrote down the disadvantages of these existing catapults one by one.

then…

Silently remembering it in my heart, my mind is running at a high speed, and the whole person is extraordinarily energetic.

He is such a person, when it comes to craftsman's skills, the whole person will be full of energy!
Just when Lu Yu and Liu Ye were discussing the improvement plan of the catapult.

"Report..."

A soldier from the Longxiao Battalion reported in front of the door: "Mr. Yang Xiu and his party are three people asking to see each other!"

Ah...Yang Xiu?
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment when he blurted out.

Yang Xiu?Why did he come here?
Didn't he "play wild" in Yanmen?Just now... I wrote an urgent letter to him?How did he come back?
A series of question marks rose from his forehead, and in the end, Lu Yu's eyes were fixed.

"Bring him in..."

and many more…

A party of three?
Lu Yu subconsciously added a sentence. "Besides Yang Xiu? Who are the other two?"

The soldiers of the Longxiao Battalion replied truthfully: "I heard from Young Master Yang that one person's name is Yan Rou, and the other person's name is Zhao Yun!"

what…

Yan Rou is fine!
As soon as Zhao Yun's name came out, Lu Yu's eyes widened subconsciously!

Zhao Yun?Changshan Zhao Zilong?

Is it true?

Why did he get together with Yang Xiu?

This time, there were more question marks on Lu Yu's forehead.

Yang Xiu rushed back overnight this time, and he came back very strangely, very strangely!

...

...

Xu Capital City, Sikong Mansion.

At this moment, Xun You and Xi Zhicai were talking in front of the study of Sikong Mansion.

As counselors, or even "conspirators", the two of them couldn't sit still.

"The situation in Guangling City is not optimistic!" Xi Zhicai said with emotion: "Even though this Chen Deng is the prefect of Guangling recommended by Mr. Lu, he may be a bit capable, but he is the second son of Jiangdong in the face of Jiangdong soldiers ten times his size. , Sun Zhongmou, who is both civil and military, is afraid that he has already fallen into a hard fight."

"Besides, I have heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, has assembled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is about to go north to help Sun Quan. The two brothers join forces, and there are only four thousand defenders in Guangling City? How can they resist it? "

"Xuzhou is in danger!"

When he said these words, Xi Zhicai frowned, and the urgent reports of the past few days followed one after another...

Only there is no urgent report from Guangling City!

This is because the water and land of Guangling City were intercepted by Sun Jiajun, and the land route of Guangling City was blocked by Liu Bei of Xiapi City. What is the situation there now?No one knows!
"At this time, a small fire and a slow stew may not solve the practical problem." Xun You said: "If Guangling is lost, Xuzhou will surely fall. At this time, I propose that Cao Sikong send a large army to rush to attack Liu Bei and go to Picheng. Once broken, the pressure on Guangling City will drop a lot in vain!"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai blinked, shook his head, and nodded again.

He seemed to understand Xun You's plan, but he didn't seem to understand?

Finally, he opened his mouth and asked: "Gongda? I know what you mean, but once the army is mobilized, it will affect the whole body, and the defenses in the northern border, Jingzhou, and Guanzhong will be tight. You are betting on these three routes." The princes don’t move! It’s good to win the bet, but we can’t afford such a loss if we lose the bet!”

"At a time like this, how can there be a perfect plan?" Xun You said, "If there is an attack from five directions, unless... Sun Ce fails to win, otherwise... we can only gamble! Bet that the speed of the army's attacking Liu Bei is faster than the enemy's reaction speed! Besides, Yuan Shaosu always hesitated, he may not be able to react quickly!"

It means... to bet!
Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

"Then... that's the only way to go, okay, let's talk about it first!"

This can be regarded as an exchange of opinions between the two... Immediately, the two walked towards the gate of Cao Cao's study together.

actually…

Originally, they were waiting, waiting for Lu Yu's general strategy to be formulated, and then... just like in the past, they formulated the specific strategy under the general strategy.

But this time, for some reason... It's been a few days, and Lu Yu's big strategy has not appeared, and even Xun Lingjun is a dragon who can't see the end!
The two of them had to prepare for the worst and deploy ahead of time!
Step into the study of Situ Mansion.

Cao Cao was still holding a few urgent letters in his hand, and he was also frowning. Seeing Xi Zhicai and Xun You, he naturally knew why they came.

"Have you all read the urgent mail in the past few days?"

"Yes." Xi Zhicai sighed. "The five-way army attacked the Central Plains, and as expected, the Sun family in Jiangdong became the vanguard. Now Guangling City, where Chen Deng is stationed, has become an isolated city."

Cao Cao's face was calm, and he didn't feel angry at all, he just said lightly.

"I heard that it was Sun Wentai's second son, Sun Quan, who invaded Guangling City by water and land this time. This blue-eyed boy...I saw him several times when I was young. He is very intelligent, unlike his elder brother...only relying on bravery, he doesn't know how to adapt."

"If Guangling is lost, Xuzhou will be in danger!" Xi Zhicai sighed.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and managed military affairs for days, and now he looks very tired.

"It's just that our side is a mouse-thrower!"

"The current situation is once again affecting the whole body..."

Cao Cao's tone has softened a lot. He narrated his words as concisely as possible, so that... it would make his mind easier.

"Cao Sikong, although scabies is small, it is stubborn... The situation in the Central Plains cannot be ruined in Xuzhou!" Xun Youyu reminded earnestly.

But the word "buried" is extremely sensitive.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed...has it reached this point?
"That's all..." Cao Cao immediately ordered: "If there is no other way, then send [-] troops to attack Xiapi City and rush to help Guangling City. Get some!"

The so-called, choose the most important of two benefits, and choose the least of two evils!
It has reached...the stage where life and death are at stake, and I can't wait for Yu'er's strategy, so I must make an immediate decision.

"Here!" Xi Zhicai smiled helplessly. Once...the army is mobilized, then...the pressure from other parties will increase in vain!
It's not good if you don't attack Xiapi, and you don't rush to help Guangling.

You can't sit back and watch Sun Ce join forces with Liu Bei and take Xuzhou as your own!
Ugh…

Ugh…

Sigh again and again.

at this time.

Xu Chu and Cao Ren hurried into the study. "Cao Sikong, that matter has been investigated."

Well…

When mentioning that incident, Cao Cao's eyes lit up in vain, while Xi Zhicai and Xun You wanted to say goodbye and avoid it for a while.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao ordered directly.

"The people in the study are not outsiders, but it doesn't matter!"

Then Xu Chu said loudly: "It has been investigated clearly that it was Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi who arranged the five routes to invade the Central Plains. But a few days ago when he returned to the old lady in Xujia Village, he seemed to be wondering why the old lady didn't eat 'perch'? After careful questioning I just found out that the whole village, including my old lady, has received a lot of favors from Lu Situ, so they don’t want to eat 'perch' which is a homonym for 'Lu Yu'!"

"The mother of Xu heard that Xu Shu was disrespectful to Lu Situ, and she taught him a lesson! I heard that the beating was bloody and bloody, so Xu Shu's "abandoning the dark and turning to the bright" came to visit Lu Yu through Xun Lingjun's recommendation, as if to sacrifice Come up with a plan to break the game!"

Although Xu Chu said it so lightly, it is not easy to investigate...

Villagers are also worried about...

Xu Chu wanted to harm Lu Yu, so he kept his mouth shut!
It happened that Xu Chu was still unable to force himself, and for this reason, he asked Cao Cao for three days before he found out why, and immediately went back to Cao Cao to report.

hiss... this...

Cao Cao blinked his eyes. If Xu Chu had said what he said, then Xu Shu went to Situ Mansion... really to offer a solution to the situation?
But...for three days in a row, Yu'er didn't have any special orders?
What is he waiting for?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed again.

at this time…

"Urgent report, urgent report... Guangling City urgent report!"

With a message, a Huben army quickly delivered the latest urgent report, but the Huben sergeant did not dare to enter the door, so Xu Chu immediately went to pick up the letter and handed it to Cao Cao.

In fact, when they heard the words "Guangling City Urgent Report", almost everyone in the study raised their throats!

Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Thinking about it, something happened in Guangling City!"

For this matter, not only Xi Zhicai, but even Cao Cao had already prepared for it. After all, Sun Quan's troops were ten times stronger than Chen Deng's. Even if the bad news came, they would not be surprised.

Suppressing his emotions, Cao Cao unfolded the urgent matter...

Looking down, Cao Cao's face became weird, and he saw many words.

——Great victory in Guangling City, more than [-] Jiangdong thieves were beheaded, more than ten buildings and ships were captured, and the enemy commander Sun Quan fled in embarrassment, not knowing whether he was dead or alive!
This…

Each word made Cao Cao a little dizzy. He felt that he was hallucinating.

But the next words on the dispatch made him even more astonished to the point where he couldn't breathe.

——According to Jiangdong's detailed investigation report, Jiangdong's little overlord, Sun Bofu, was assassinated and fell into a coma. Jiangdong was in chaos, and the assassin was Xu Gong Sanmenke!
This…

Cao Cao had to take a deep breath, and he planned to read it again carefully.

But this time, he saw the last sentence left in the last line. To be precise, it was a poem left by Guangling prefect Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong:

——"Lu Situ's ingenious plan secures the world, and he leaves behind a bag of tricks to defeat Jiangdong!"
