Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 868 Preparing to recover Yangzhou
Jia Xu yelled three times in a row.

I am really impatient.

He beat his horse and ran back.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the troops of the Western Shang Empire are unwilling to surrender. They even said to attack by force, so let's end the battle." Jia Xu said.

"Not urgent."

Xu Ding stepped forward to speak out in person.

"Soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom, you have nowhere to escape. If you continue to fight, you will die. Listen to my advice, put down your weapons and walk out of the city. You can survive."

"When I was in Xuzhou before, some of your troops surrendered, and they were all in Xuchang, Yuzhou."

Xu Ding shouted for a long time.

Jia Xu has been very impatient.

But
Just when he was about to persuade Xu Ding to give up, the city gate ahead was opened.

Two groups of soldiers ran out with their rifles raised.

Headed by a soldier, holding a white flag.

Jia Xu hurried forward: "Is this surrender?"

"I said earlier, don't give up. The soldiers of the Western Shang Empire are human beings just like us. They also have seven emotions and six desires. If they have seven emotions and six desires, they will inevitably be timid, fearful, and apprehensive. If they don't surrender, they will be abnormal." Xu Ding said.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Even if Nanpi's troops surrendered, Jia Xu didn't think it was right to do so.

Because if you are not of my race, your heart must be different.

One day is uncertain, these surrendered enemy troops will rebel again.

It was even more troublesome then.

The troops of Nanpi City left the city one after another to surrender.

Xu Ding sent a regiment of troops to count the weapons and accept the surrender.

Since then.

The plan of the Western Shang Empire to attack Hebei in an attempt to create a north-south attack on the Huaxia Kingdom failed completely.All the attacking troops were either wiped out or surrendered to Xu Ding.

this day.

In Xuzhou Pengcheng.

Lu Su received Guo Jia's reply.

Guo Jia did not allow the First Army to act without authorization and attack Yangzhou.

Lu Xun is also here.

He glanced at the reply letter and sighed: "Feng Xiao is still so careful."

"Maybe he's right."

Lu Su said: "The time to attack Yangzhou is not yet ripe. If we wait for the battle of Fancheng and the battle of Hebei to end, we can surely win by gathering the strength of our two armies."

"At that time, we will have nothing to do." Lu Xun said.

In fact, this thing.There is Lu Su's responsibility, and there is also Lu Xun's responsibility.

At the beginning, it was Lu Su who was whimsical and wanted to start a big war and regain Yangzhou in one fell swoop.

He sent someone to send a letter to Lu Xun, hoping to get Lu Xun's support.

Lu Xun was bored staying in Qiao County, so of course he was willing.

However, he was not in favor of recovering the entire territory of Yangzhou, because the combined strength of him and Lu Su was not enough to do it.Therefore, he suggested that Lu Su only recover Huainan and Shouchun.

As long as Shouchun is under control, the enemy will be blocked in the east of Yangzhou, and it will be more conducive for them to defend the Central Plains.

After hearing this, Lu Su agreed immediately.

Then an urgent letter was sent to Guo Jia, ready to start.

Who would have expected.
Guo Jia disagreed.

Lu Xun said: "Shouchun's garrison is said to be [-], but it is actually less than [-]. The rest are scattered in various places. We attack from the north and the south, taking advantage of the right time and place, how can we be invincible?"

"You just need to feint in the north to attract their main force. I will personally lead a brigade to surprise Huainan."

For this battle, Lu Xun has sufficient confidence.

However.
After reading Guo Jia's reply, Lu Su hesitated.

If you attack rashly, it's okay if you win, but if you don't win, the responsibility lies entirely with him.

After all, persuading him also showed his attitude.

It was Lu Su and Lu Xun's failure to listen to persuasion.

"no!"

Lu Su said: "This battle cannot be fought!"

"Why? You mentioned it."

"It was indeed I who mentioned it. But Guo Jia disagreed." Lu Su said, "You should give up on that."

"Ugh."

What else could Lu Xun say.

Guo Jia is Xu Ding's trusted counselor and the number one counselor.

In Huaxia Kingdom, he promises everything he says.

In terms of official position, he is also older than them.

In terms of seniority, Guo Jia was the first to join Xu Ding, and they surrendered later.

In any case, they should obey.

Lu Xun sat down and said, "Okay. Who said we were raised by stepmothers?"

"Don't make such harsh words. Guo Jia is also doing it for our own good. Considering the overall situation, we will be more confident if we wait for a while before making a move," Lu Su said.

This matter came and went, Lu Su and Lu Xun did not make a move in the end.

However, within a few days.

Xu Ding heard the news from Hebei.

The enemy army that invaded Hebei has been defeated.

Xu Dingzheng led the army back.

This made Lu Su and Lu Xun's dead hearts alive again.

Lu Xun returned to Qiao County.

Lu Su is in Pengcheng.

The two hurriedly prepared their troops.

As soon as the promised soldiers and horses arrive, Shouchun can be besieged.

A month and a half passed in a flash.

Xu Ding's army crossed the Yellow River east, passed through Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and arrived at Pengcheng.

After entering the city.

Lu Su talked about joining forces with Lu Xun to counterattack Shouchun.

After hearing this, Xu Ding said: "The Western Shang Empire has suffered successive defeats. They have lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. They must have insufficient troops to defend Yangzhou, and they cannot send troops to the rear. If we want to take advantage of the emptiness behind them and regain Yangzhou, it is best to hit Jiangdong in one go and seal the wormhole."

"Zi Jing."

"exist."

Xu Ding said: "I have accepted your and Lu Xun's suggestions. For this operation, we will mobilize [-] troops to show the Western Merchant Empire the true strength of our Huaxia Kingdom."

"Yes."

With the promised promise, this matter is basically established.

Guo Jia objected to no avail.

Of course, if Guo Jia was here, he would not object.Because the Battle of Hebei was over, Xu Ding and Jia Xu came back with a large army, and they already had enough troops to attack Yangzhou.

"Recruit Lu Xun first, let's have a meeting. Then send troops." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

After the Battle of Qiao County, Xu Ding was very satisfied with Lu Xun.

Since Yangzhou is to be attacked, such a large military operation must listen to Lu Xun's opinion.

a few days later.

Lu Xun came to Pengcheng again.

Attend the meeting.

Inside the living room.

There is a map hanging in front of it, and a huge sand table in front of it.

The people participating in the meeting sat on both sides of the sand table.There are Lu Xun, Huang Zhong, Lu Su, Jia Xu and so on.There are also Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Chen Dao who have just returned from Xiapi.

Xu Ding sat down and said: "Everyone, take a look at the map and sand table, and understand the terrain of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. If you want to attack Yangzhou, where should you attack?"

Lu Xun stood up first, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that the troops should be divided into two groups. All the troops in Pengcheng should be concentrated along the way, pretending to attack Shouchun, and attract most of the enemy's troops. Send troops all the way from Qiaojun, cross Huainan, and attack directly. Shouchun. As long as the speed is fast, you can arrive at the city of Shouchun by surprise. The effect of a rare soldier is better than a heavy one."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded.

Noncommittal.

Lu Su said: "General Lu's strategy has been mentioned with me many times before, and I think it may be feasible. Because the Western Shang Empire mainly guards against us in Xuzhou. It is relatively lax about Qiao County."

"Qiao County only has the strength of one brigade, and the enemy is absolutely fine. This way, the soldiers of Qiao County will be more likely to succeed." Lu Xun continued.

"Wen He, what do you think?" Xu Ding asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "I think this plan is a bit risky."

"Once the enemy finds out, it is easy to surround this so-called surprise army. In enemy territory, we cannot rescue them. As long as we are surrounded, we are doomed to die without a place to die."

Lu Xun said, "Mr. Wen He, this must not be what you said."

"Why?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Didn't you always advocate the use of surprise soldiers, and you also said that using troops means using danger, and without danger, there is no victory. Why are you worrying now?"

Jia Xu did say this.

Moreover, it was to Lu Xun.

This time he was speechless.

Xu Ding only thought it was funny, but didn't take it seriously, and asked Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, "What do you think?"

"Kong Ming, you compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, so you should have a good idea to offer?"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, waved his feather fan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I dare not compare myself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Since the war with the Western Shang Empire, I feel that what I have learned is not enough. As a result, in Xiapi, facing the enemy two The strength of a brigade is still helpless."

"but.."

"Your Majesty wants to counterattack Yangzhou, and I do have a few suggestions."

"Tell me about it." Xu Ding said.

Everyone present looked at Zhuge Liang.

They all want to hear what Zhuge Liang's plan is.

"First of all, I don't agree with General Lu's strategy of taking the risk of marching troops. Because we can't afford losses. Once we suffer heavy losses, Qiaojun will be threatened. The enemy can take advantage of the victory to attack, capture Qiaojun, and then enter Yuyan. The consequences will be very serious. ...Moreover, this plan was planned by General Lu and Zijing as early as a month ago, can you guarantee that you have not leaked the news in advance? Can you guarantee that you have not hidden the secret work of the Western Shang Empire?"

"Once the news leaks out, not only the strange soldiers of Qiao County will be surrounded, but also the army of Pengcheng will be very dangerous."

"Therefore, I still prefer to fight steadily. I will mobilize two divisions from Pengcheng and head to Qiaojun. I will attack at the same time as Pengcheng's army, and press down on Shouchun. Although this kind of attack cannot win quickly, it will definitely not fail. .”

Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Some of the people present looked contemptuous, while others nodded secretly.

Xu Ding thought in his heart: "Zhuge Liang is cautious in using troops after all, and never takes risks."

"Ugh."

Even Zhuge Liang said that, Lu Xun felt hopeless.

He sighed and returned to his seat.

But
He never expected that at this time, Xu Ding would speak out in support of him.

"My opinion is contrary to Kong Ming's. Because this time we attacked Yangzhou, we must win quickly! The sooner we take Shouchun, the safer we will be. If we fight steadily and step by step, it will be protracted and lead to a stalemate. Once the enemy troops are transferred from Jiangdong With a few divisions, even if we want to win, it will be difficult."

"Moreover, the enemy controls the wormhole. He can mobilize a large-scale army from the Western Shang Empire at any time to join the battle."

Speaking of this, Xu Ding took a deep breath: "We really don't have much time. We must win by surprise and regain Shouchun and the counties in Yangzhou. Only in this way can we keep the Central Plains."

Xu Ding considered the overall situation.

Zhuge Liang only saw what was in front of him.From the perspective of war, give advice.

"Your Majesty. Wise." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and replied.

"Kong Ming, it's not that I don't know the danger of a surprise soldier, but the overall situation is not in my favor. The battle of Yangzhou must be decided quickly." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang responded.

Xu Ding stood up: "Bo Yan, you continue to talk about your strategy. How to attack by surprise? Have you thought about it carefully?"

Lu Xun stepped forward and said excitedly: "The general has already thought about it carefully. He needs two infantry regiments and [-] cavalry. Only with a large number of grenades can we attack Shouchun."

"Of course, the premise is that the army in the direction of Pengcheng must attack more fiercely and transfer the main force of the enemy away from Shouchun. Only the rare soldiers can return to their role."

Lu Xun explained the planned strategy to all the civil and military present.

In particular, he must personally lead this surprise army.

For this point, Xu Ding was somewhat reluctant.

Lu Xun's talent is rare in the world.

In terms of commanding the Linxin army against the enemy, perhaps even Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu can't compare.

Such a genius, send him, take the risk to attack, if he dies in this battle, his intestines will regret it.

Even if the whole of Yangzhou was exchanged for Lu Xun, Xu Ding would not do it.

"It's better to choose a brigade commander from the first and second armies to carry out this task. Boyan, you just follow me and don't go anywhere. It just so happens that I have something to ask you for advice." Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty, if the last general is not going, who will take command?"

"Didn't I just say that. Choose a brigade commander from the first and second armies. They all graduated from the military academy. They should know how to surprise and win."

"No no no."

Lu Xun waved his hand and said curtly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the key to victory in this battle lies in this extraordinary army. It needs a commander who adapts to the situation, avoids the enemy's capture, and goes straight to Shouchun City. Except for the last general who leads the army himself, I will not trust anyone in the end. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"If you really want to go, I'll send you Feng Lin Huo." Xu Ding glanced at the back of the living room and shouted, "Jia Heng."

"The end is here."

Xu Ding said: "I have a mission for you. Take Feng Lin Huo and protect General Lu Xun."

"Your Majesty, this..." Jia Heng was a little unhappy.

The Fenglin Volcano Special Forces is a well-equipped and accomplished unit.The tasks they have to perform have never been completed by others.For example, destroying the headquarters of hundreds of thousands of troops.Cross the line of fire, destroy the enemy's rear baggage and more.Now it is assigned to Lu Xun to protect Lu Xun's safety.

This is so insulting.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ding asked with a straight face, "Is there a problem?"

"no no"

Although he didn't want to, he still didn't dare to refuse in person.

The first discipline of special forces is to obey orders.No matter when and where, you must obey the orders of your boss unconditionally.Xu Ding is the instructor of the Special Forces, and the instructor's orders must never be disobeyed.

"Since there is no problem, let's execute it!"

"promise."

Jia Heng replied.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I assure you, we will definitely capture Shouchun!" Lu Xun said.

"Ah."

In this way, the plan to attack Yangzhou was basically formed.

In addition to Lu Su's first group army, two brigades were left to guard Pengcheng.The rest of the troops will all go into battle.
