Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144 The war is on
On the way back to the government office, Chu Nan gave himself and Lu Lingqi a few times to speak out, which increased the defense of their clothes tenfold. Lu Lingqi found it very interesting for Chu Nan, a cautious Zuo Feng.

After all, most men regard bravery and perseverance as a symbol of masculinity. After all, there are only a few people like Chu Nan, but such a timid person who is afraid of death can always deal with major events calmly. The demeanor of not being surprised is completely opposite to the current performance.

It was the other side of Chu Nan that Lu Lingqi had seen. At this moment, Lu Lingqi did not feel contempt when she saw Chu Nan's cautious appearance, but found it quite interesting.

"What's your husband's plan next?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, how can there be a reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days?" Chu Nan sighed depressingly: "Try to find out this assassin, otherwise you will have trouble sleeping and eating. Madam, along the way, did you notice others peeping."

Although the spirit of warriors does not have all kinds of wonderful functions like Confucianism, it is not useless. The spiritual sense is usually amazing, and if someone is peeping, they can be keenly aware of it.

Lu Lingqi silently shook her head.

The greatest ability of powerful assassins is not their attack methods, but their ability to hide their whereabouts. It is almost impossible to actively detect the existence of the opponent.

The most frightening thing is that I don't know if the other party has any weird abilities. This is what Chu Nan is most worried about. What if there is a curse or something like that...

"In a quarter of an hour, I can deflect all attacks against me!" Chu Nan said suddenly.

Lu Lingqi glanced at Chu Nan blankly.

"Be careful." Chu Nan chuckled, and added a layer of preservation to Lu Lingqi before going to the government office.

"My lord, just now the state government sent someone to invite my lord to come over." Just after returning to the government office, Wei Yan was already waiting in the government office. He is now serving as a military lord under Wei Yue, but I heard that a thief assassinated Chu Nan yesterday. , he came here to guard Chu Nan after training.

"Understood." Chu Nan nodded, did not enter the door, turned around and went directly to the state capital, the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps, when Chu Nan arrived, he saw Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Mi Fang, Wei Xu, Gao Shun and Hou Cheng have arrived.

"It's been a long time, everyone." Chu Nan hurriedly bowed.

"Ziyan, I heard that you were assassinated again yesterday? How about I send some troops to protect you?" Wei Xu frowned and looked at Chu Nandao.

"The incoming assassins have been captured." Chu Nan shook his head. The guards in his mansion were not weak. As for the final assassin boss, Chu Nan reckoned that no matter how many people there were, it would be useless, and more people would cause problems.

"My lord, I don't know why you summoned me here today?" Not wanting to mention this matter, Chu Nan turned the topic to the serious matter.

"News came from Yanzhou that Cao Cao sent troops to Runan three days ago." Chen Gong said with a smile: "The pigeons tamed by Ziyan are convenient for passing news."

Because of the existence of the pigeon demon, it is easy to domesticate the flying pigeon. Many things are directly taught by Chu Nan to the pigeon demon, so that the pigeon demon can communicate with his younger brothers.

Naturally, other princes also have flying pigeons to pass on letters, but compared to Chu Nan's side, it is much more difficult to domesticate, and it is difficult to achieve such a large-scale popularization.

When Chu Nan heard the words, his eyes lit up: "So, are you going to attack Guangling?"

The previous plan was that as soon as Cao Cao and Yuan Shu went to war, they would immediately concentrate their superior forces and go south to capture Guangling in one fell swoop.

Chen Gong nodded: "The purpose of calling you here today is to discuss how to use troops. There should be a map here."

While speaking, a map of Xuzhou was spread out in front of everyone, and everyone was no longer surprised. Looking at the map of Xuzhou, Chen Gong took a pen and drew a line to mark the range of Guangling.

The twelve counties of Guangling are bounded by Haixi, Lingxian, Dongyang, and Pingyang near the Huai River, and have borders with Xiapi and Donghai.

Chu Nan stared at the map carefully, feeling that he could go anywhere. Although he studied the art of war hard these days, it was really hard to see anything based on the map.

After thinking for a while, Chu Nan pointed to the map and said, "The landscape and terrain in this map can be presented three-dimensionally!"

What does three-dimensional mean?
Everyone was at a loss, but the next moment, the picture on the map began to change, it was still the same map, but when I looked at it now, I felt like watching a sand table. Xuzhou's mountains and rivers seemed to come alive on the map. Have a general understanding of the local terrain.

Chen Gong glanced at Chu Nan in surprise, saying that the usage of Fasui was played by his disciple to a new trick.

After thinking for a while, Chen Gong pointed to the map and said: "This map is completely consistent with the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou. You can see the whole picture of the mountains and rivers in Xuzhou clearly."

The next moment, the entire map instantly came to life.

Lu Bu: "..."

Generals: "..."

Confucianism is so fancy, what's the use of it?It's just drawing pictures, what else can I do?Show off!
"The teacher is brilliant!"

"Zi Yan is not bad either!"

"Look at the picture!" Lu Bu couldn't stand the two bragging each other, what happened to Confucianism?There are also many Confucianists who died under their own halberds.

"Ziyan, tell me your opinion." Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan, gave him this opportunity, and also wanted to see his disciple's talent in the art of war.

Although the map was very clear, Chu Nan looked at it carefully for a while, but still couldn't see how to advance.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If it comes to fighting, not to mention father-in-law, General Gao and uncle, anyone present is far better than me, so Nan will not fight with the axe, but I have an idea."

"Let's talk about Ziyan." Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction, why did his son-in-law speak so nicely.

"The so-called ruler is long and the inch is short. In the final analysis, this war is to give full play to the advantages of our army and try not to collide with the strengths of the enemy. If you attack the enemy's weaknesses, the battle damage may be less than half, but if you attack its strengths, you may lose [-]% or more. Since there is an easier way to fight, why waste our troops on this? Our army's goal this time is not only It is to capture Guangling, but also to gain benefits in the Yuan-Cao battle, if too much energy is spent here, it may be difficult to obtain more benefits in the future."

Lu Bu nodded: "Zi Yan's words are correct. The advantage of our army is the cavalry. Guangling is only [-] miles from north to south, and [-] miles from east to west. Any general who commands cavalry can reach any part of Guangling within a day." As for the Chen family... what are the strengths of the Chen family?"

"Defend the city, fight with water!" Chu Nan thought about it: "According to the analysis of the information obtained before, it is very likely that Jiangdong Sun Ce has formed an alliance with the Chen family. In the land of Guangling, there are not only Huai River, but also a large number of small rivers. Jiangdong soldiers are best at water. Therefore, please remember, generals, once the enemy retreats into the water, you must not chase blindly, lest you fall into the enemy's tricks!"

Chu Nan really doesn't know what abilities Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have. The intelligence system has just been established, and there is no time to collect Jiangdong intelligence in the future, otherwise Chu Nan will make more targeted plans.

"As for the defense of the city, all the elites of Xuzhou's great clans have gathered in Guangling, and the ability to follow the law can greatly increase the defense of the city wall and weaken the strength of our army's siege. There are less than thirty people in our army who can follow the law. In a siege battle, the damage will be huge, so I think that this time, we should try our best to fight the enemy outside the city."

Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Nan continued: "Thirdly, in this war, it is best to bully the few and overwhelm others with power. Since Jiangdong is participating in the war, as far as I know, Zhou Yu is quite handsome, so I will try my best. The enemy army divides and breaks them up, maximizes the mobility of our cavalry, leads the opponent by the nose, does not confront it head-on, as long as the opponent is driven out of the city, cuts off its food supply, poisons it, and attacks at night. Use every means you can think of to make them exhausted!”

After finishing speaking, Chu Nan looked at the strange eyes of everyone, and said with a simple and honest smile: "I have only a half-knowledge of the art of war, and that's all I can think of for the time being. If I say something wrong, don't laugh at me."

"Ziyan's method is indeed...feasible." Hou Cheng groped his chin and said, "But Ziyan, has he ever thought about it, if the Chen family can't wait to catch up with me, what should I do if I refuse to defend the city?"

"Don't worry about him, break his arms first, if they disperse their talents in the Twelve Cities of Guangling, we will defeat them one by one. I was afraid they would unite before, but if they garrison each city separately, we will concentrate our strength together." With the destruction of one city at a time, if the opponents gather in one city, we will take advantage of the situation to take back the rest of the cities, destroying the popularity of the people, and then trap them with an absolutely superior force, without food and water, and force them out of the city." Chu Nan said without hesitation .

Everyone can tell that they don't face each other head-on anyway, only to force the opponent out by besieging the city in the final decisive battle. This style of play...is somewhat...

Lu Bu and other generals listened to Chu Nan's methods, and if they were Chen Deng himself, they would collapse in the face of Chu Nan's style of play.

"Our army's cavalry now totals only [-] cavalry." Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan and said calmly.

Although they are good at cavalry, war horses are rare, especially in Xuzhou, and they can only buy war horses through horse dealers. Chu Nan's style of play can only be used when all are cavalry.

"Also, has Ziyan ever thought about our army's supplies?" Chen Gong also added.

Chu Nan has done logistics and supplies, so he naturally knows how troublesome it is. Recruiting civilians and formulating supply routes to guard against enemy surprise attacks. It is possible to walk back and forth in a day or two, but that is when no one interferes, so you can only carry three days of rations and go into battle lightly, but if you are blocked, you can only wait to die!
"This disciple didn't think carefully about this, and everyone laughed at me." Chu Nan said helplessly.

"It doesn't count, this plan is still usable, but it needs to be changed. You can first target Sheyang, Haixi, and Ling County, and then use this method to push them back until there is no retreat. You can retreat." Chen Gong is quite satisfied with Chu Nan's performance, although there are loopholes, but this idea is really good, at least better than a hard bar.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and after analyzing the specific plan, Lu Bu immediately made a decision and prepared to follow the plan!
