Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 161 Contrast
"My lord, the Tangyi defenders are withdrawing." In the Xuzhou army camp, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Chu Nan were discussing how to fight next, but they saw Wei Xu rushing in excitedly, and said to Lu Bu.

"Oh?" Lu Bu asked casually, "Where are you going?"

After the previous World War I, Jiangdong lost troops and lost generals. I am afraid that it will be difficult to boost morale in the short term. There are only two options, either to defend the hall or to withdraw troops. One is that it can delay time, and the other is that it can kill Lu Bu's enthusiasm for winning this time. It is not incomprehensible to withdraw the troops now.

It is even possible for Jiang Dong to directly withdraw from Xuzhou Chu Nan and Chen Gong.

"Retreat to the north." Wei Xu bowed.

"North?" Chu Nan and Chen Gong looked at the map and frowned.

Lu Bu looked at the two of them: "What's wrong? Dongyang and Ping'an are still in their hands, and there is a big lake here, which is suitable for the Jiangdong navy to display."

"However, from Tangyi to Dongyang, there is not much obstruction from the water system, and the big lake can't stop our army at all." Chu Nan frowned and said, the only thing the opponent can rely on now is the navy, why would they run there?He didn't think Zhou Yu and Sun Ce would make such a low-level mistake.

"Even if we withdraw our troops, we should withdraw to the south, relying on the great river, so we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat." Chen Gong clicked on the map: "If I were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the most important thing I should do at this moment is to retreat to Yuguo and Jiangdu. In this area, even if you lose the enemy, you can cross the river at any time and return to Jiangdong, and go north, which is more like a dead end."

"Put it to death and live later, but I can't think of a way for the other party to retreat here?" Chu Nan also frowned.

Of course, they are good at water warfare. Jiangdong people can also use water. Dongyang is next to the big lake. After entering the water, they can go straight to the river. For Jiangdong, this is not a dead end, but the main force fighting them this time is Chen Deng. The Guangling army, the Guangling army is not good at water warfare, how are they going to go?

If you want to learn from the Overlord's words of breaking the boat... Sun Ce is probably a bit mean.

Hearing this, Lu Bu looked at the map silently. When it comes to governance, he is indeed a layman, but when it comes to fighting, he has a beast-like intuition for the battlefield. The enemy retreats to Dongyang, passing through Chu Nan and Chen Gong. He said that he also realized that Jiangdong was seeking his own death, and the only way to solve it was to defeat them in Dongyang.

But is it possible?

In yesterday's battle, Lu Bu had a general understanding of the opponent's strength.

After all, there were not many Jiangdong soldiers and horses in this battle, but there were many Jiangdong generals. Although Chen Deng handed over the power to Sun Ce, it would be a disaster for the generals if there were no soldiers and horses to run in.

This is like if Lu Bu were to command Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry now, the unparalleled cavalry commander in the world, and the cavalry is also the top cavalry in the world, but the combination of the two will exert extremely limited power, regardless of Lu Bu's personal combat power In other words, this team may not be able to beat an ordinary elite cavalry. Jiangdong's generals are indeed good. If there were enough Jiangdong soldiers behind them yesterday, even if they could win, they would not be able to win so easily.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Chen Gong groped his beard, thought for a moment, and said: "In this battle, you should be extremely careful."

"A certain soldier is always careful." Lu Bu nodded his head as a matter of course. He rarely leads troops in danger.

Chu Nan: "..."

Did my father-in-law misunderstand the word "careful"?

"I think it's safer to occupy the two cities of Yuguo and Jiangdu first, then seal off the waterways, nail stakes on the bottom of the river, and block the river with iron chains to drive them into a desperate situation, and then encircle them. Encircle them from all directions, and finally trap them in the city without food, leaving only Dongyang or Ping'an, even if they have the power to reach the sky, they can't escape!" Chu Nan said his suggestion.

"It's too time-consuming, but it is feasible to place wooden stakes in the river to prevent the Jiangdong troops from returning to Jiangdong. If we can keep Sun Ce and others in this battle, we may be able to take advantage of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's undecided victory." At this time, cross the river and capture Jiangdong, thinking that our army is in the rear!" Chen Gong did not completely deny the disciple's idea.

In fact, Chu Nan's idea is not wrong, it is very stable. If the external environment is not taken into consideration, Chu Nan's strategy seems ordinary, but it is the most appropriate.

But they are also scrambling for time now. Yuan Shu is almost one-sidedly bullied by Cao Cao in the dispute between Yuan and Cao. Maybe Yuan Shu will be gone in a few days. Although the Chen family and the Jiangdong coalition forces did not lose much, after this battle, their morale has improved. , The general suffered a great loss, if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity to make a quick decision and send this group of people away in one wave, they would have no way to compete with Cao Cao.

You must know that Lu Bu sent troops to attack Yuan Shu instead of Guangling in the name of attacking Guangling. Guangling has always been under Lu Bu's rule in name.

"Forget it." Chu Nan nodded, and he also knew that if his plan was really implemented, it would give Sun Ce and the others a period of time to recover. Winning is certain, but it will take a long time.

For the current Lu Bujun, the most lacking thing is time.

"It's settled like this, the public platform, the transfer of logistics and military resources, we still need to worry about it." Lu Bu was in a good mood at the moment, and said to Chen Gong.

"Naturally." Chen Gong smiled and took a sip of water.

"Zi Yan." Lu Bu looked at Chu Nan: "There is nothing left and right, how about going to see your Jiao?"

Lu Bu is still looking forward to the legendary Jiao. After the battle yesterday, they formed camp and didn’t have time to see it. Now that the opponent retreats, it’s been some time. Naturally, Lu Bu wants to see how the legendary Jiao looks like. appearance.

"Alright, teacher, do you want to go with me?" Chu Nan nodded, and also let Xiao Baijiao meet his family, so as to avoid his own family in the future.

"Well, it's okay to take a look." Chen Gong got up, not only Lu Bu was curious, but he was also very curious about what this dragon looks like.

When the three of them left the camp, Chu Nan thought about it and asked Zhou Cang to call his wife. She must be curious too.

I met Wei Yue on Zhou Cang Road and asked him where he was going. Zhou Cang told Wei Yue about the matter, and then all the generals in the army knew about it. When Lu Lingqi came over, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan all came over.

"Why are you all here?" Chu Nan asked in surprise.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Wei Yue who kept silent.

"Let's go, Xiaobaijiao was injured yesterday, don't scare it later." Chu Nan looked away speechlessly, it's okay for everyone to go together, but Chu Nan made up his mind that in the future, confidential matters must not be followed. Wei Yue said, this guy's tongue is too long.

A group of 11 people came to the river in a mighty way. The little white jiao was summoned by Chu Nan, and surfaced in the eyes of everyone's expectation. His head was arched against Chu Nan, and there were still the knife marks left by Huang Gai yesterday on his back, which made Chu Nan feel distressed.

"This...is Jiao?" Lu Bu looked at the little thing acting coquettishly in front of his son-in-law, his face was a little weird, it was different from what he imagined, it felt like he could be crushed to death.

"Well, the thunderclap a few days ago was because it was going through the catastrophe. It used to have a body of twenty feet, but it has been like this since it passed the catastrophe." Chu Nan nodded.

In fact, the little white dragon is not short, with a body of one foot, it is more than two meters in conversion. Such a body size is not considered petite, but although the dragon in everyone's mind is not a dragon, it should also be majestic and majestic. Its existence must be at least ten feet long and one foot wide, and it can take away a wave of people with a single roll. Compared with the jiao they imagined, this little thing in front of them feels a bit small even if it is a python.

The contrast with the imagination is too great, which makes everyone a little uncomfortable.

The ants, praying mantises, or that giant pigeon that Chu Nan took out before were all many times larger than ordinary ones, and this dragon should be like this, but it turned out that such a small thing came out, which is really impressive. It was unacceptable for a while.

"Very good." Lu Bu stretched out his hand and touched Xiaobaijiao's slippery head: "In yesterday's battle, thanks to its help, the Jiangdong navy was able to be defeated so easily."

"Yeah~" Xiaobaijiao was dissatisfied with someone touching its head, so it broke away from Lu Bu's palm and barked its teeth and claws at Lu Bu.

"Huh?" Lu Bu lowered his head and glanced at it.

"Yeah~" Xiaobaijiao looked at each other for a moment, then retracted his head behind Chu Nan, then poked it out, and continued baring his teeth at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled when he saw this, shook his head and said, "This little thing."

Seeing that Lu Bu was fine after touching it, Wei Yue stretched out his hand enviously to touch it, but the little white dragon exploded, and with a flick of his tail, he knocked Wei Yue to the ground. Although his body was only one foot long, his strength was not small, and so did Wei Yue. He is a good general in the army, but facing Xiao Baijiao's whip-like tail, he was knocked to the ground before he even had time to react, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

"Don't hit people randomly!" Chu Nan tapped Xiao Baijiao's head: "In the future, when you meet these people, you can't do anything, understand?"

"Yeah~" Xiaobai Jiao nodded aggrievedly.

"It can understand human speech?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.

"This dragon is also considered to have developed spiritual wisdom. It is still young, but when it comes to intelligence, it is not inferior to ordinary children. When it grows up in the future, its wisdom will not be inferior to ordinary people." Chu Nan nodded.

"Oh?" Lu Bu stretched out his hands to pinch the sharp horns on the top of Xiaobai Jiao's head and said with a smile, "When it grows up, I wonder if it will be able to ride the clouds."

Soaring through the clouds and riding the fog, that is a dragon. Chu Nan looked at the bewildered little white flood dragon, and thought about its lifespan of 500 years. When it grows up, it may be able to die for itself!

If you don't use luck to help it evolve, and you want to wait for it to grow up, I'm afraid there will be no hope in this life.

"I see that, when it grows up, it will fight against Jiangdong in the future, and there is no need to be afraid of the Jiangdong navy." Wei Xu on the side laughed.

This little thing is much more pleasing to the eye than that pigeon, and it is very useful at first glance, unlike that pigeon, which is looking for bugs to eat all day long, and often fights with Chu Nan's other two insects.

Chu Nan shook his head when he heard the words. Judging from yesterday's performance, there is still a gap between Xiaobaijiao and those Jiangdong generals, but it doesn't matter. If all Jiangdong generals stay this time, then I am afraid that they will really have to cross Jiangping Jiangdong is here, and its help will be indispensable at that time, otherwise, with the generals under Lu Bu's command, it may not be possible to think about Jiangdong.
