Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163 Sun Ce Must Die

At night, the south in midsummer is hot and humid. Many northern men in the army could not adapt to this environment, and many fell ill. Chu Nan still has some common sense in this regard. The sick soldiers were quickly sent to separate military camps. The medical craftsmen led by Hua Tuo went to take care of them. Hua Tuo hadn't made it clear that he would stay, but he had already let go, especially some of the ideas put forward by Chu Nan moved him very much. This large-scale military doctor was proposed by Chu Nan.

Of course there were some in the past, but not many. Most of them served generals and some elites. As for ordinary soldiers, their lives were like nothing. You don't have to suffer hard when you get sick.

Beside the bonfire in the camp, Lu Lingqi had already returned to her tent, it was inconvenient for her to appear here alone at night, the tent was set between the tents of Lu Bu, Chu Nan and Chen Gong.

"I think if we can find some women who have awakened their divine power in the future, we can form a separate battalion." Chu Nan gathered beside the campfire, chatting with Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

When men get together, the best topic to talk about is women, but one is the father-in-law and the other is the teacher. This kind of dirty talk is really hard to say, so Chu Nan can only find other directions to say it.

There is basically no possibility of forming a female army in the era of cold weapons. When they enter the battlefield, the opponent's soldiers may be immediately excited. A woman with this ability is another matter.

Not to mention my daughter-in-law, who is close to the first-class level, even if there is a woman with supernatural power, she is extremely tyrannical on the battlefield. Such a woman doesn't need many, she only needs one, and her power is not small.

In fact, although there were no established female soldiers, when they fought against the Jiangdong Army before, Chu Nan saw that there were sporadic female soldiers in the Jiangdong Army. Each of them possessed supernatural powers, but they were only used as young generals. , not forming an army as Chu Nan thought.

If such a group of women forms a corps, Chu Nanjue's can play a huge role.

Each of them is a supernatural power user, and they are not the standard acquired talents given by the legion in the camp. If they can research a suitable battle formation, the power will definitely not be small, and the power that can be gathered will definitely not be weak.

Chen Gong thought for a while, a group of women with supernatural powers would be hard to convince the generals, just like Lu Lingqi, her strength and martial arts are top-notch existences under Lu Bu's command, but if she is allowed to lead the army, if there are too many of them, the soldiers will surely Feeling resentful, it seems that in the Jiangdong Army, those women with supernatural powers are at best military lords, generals, etc., and died meaninglessly in the struggle between the generals of the two sides.

If, as Chu Nan said, they formed an independent army, it might really have some effect.

The fact that women are weak does not apply to supernatural beings. You can refer to Lu Lingqi for this point. If she is willing, Lu Bu's two subordinates, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, do not make a move. Lu Lingqi can even beat those generals together.

"Let's talk about it later." Neither Lu Bu nor Chen Gong paid much attention to this topic.

The enemy retreated to the north by water, and Lu Bu sent people to pursue them, but there was not much to gain. In this place where the waterways were criss-crossed, the cavalry was really restricted, and the advantage of mobility could not be exerted at all.

"Tomorrow the army will march northward. This battle will be the last battle of Guangling. After defeating Guangling, has Marquis Wen thought about the next step?" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Didn't we already agree to attack Yuan Shu?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Of course I want to fight, but how do you think about how to fight Marquis Wen?" Chen Gong asked with a smile.

"It's enough to fight Yuan Shu, how else should I fight?" Lu Bu was puzzled, is there even a need to ask?Beat Yuan Shu to death!
"As far as our army is concerned, beating Yuan Shu directly is of little significance. My father-in-law is now a state shepherd and has absolute autonomy over Xuzhou. Even if Yuan Shu is captured alive, the court will not give him much." Chu Nan drew a picture on the ground with a branch. A simple map said: "It is best not to do things that are not beneficial."

"It's fine if you don't fight." Lu Bu was puzzled, why has his son-in-law started talking like Chen Gong recently?

"We have to fight. This time we sent troops to fight against the banner of the imperial court. After all, it is unreasonable to go back after destroying the Chen family, and there is no benefit. Father-in-law might as well think about it, what does our army need now?" Chu Nan laughed.

what do you need?
Lu Bu frowned. Food is no longer in short supply for Xuzhou. Thinking back to what Chu Nan said earlier, Lu Bu's eyes brightened and he said, "Talent?"

He remembered that before the expedition, Chu Nan told him several times that he needed talents.

"Well, besides this, does father-in-law want anything else?" Chu Nan continued to guide Lu Bu to think about these issues.

"It's not a must if you have money and food." Lu Bu begrudgingly said, now that I have money, food and soldiers, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Shu has some money or food.

Lu Bu is actually very satisfied with the current state, if not for both Chu Nan and Chen Gong's positive words, he really wants to be content with the status quo.

"Territory, population!" Chu Nan rubbed his temples: "The land of Jiujiang is quite important, and it is the core of the north-south strategy. From Hefei, you can go directly to the river, cross the river to attack the east of the river, and you can also form a countermeasure with Xuzhou in the north. Two directions. Attack Cao Cao, and although the Huai River is not as good as the natural moat of the Great River, it is still a good location. If Cao Cao wants to attack here, the Huai River must pass. It will be easier to defend by relying on the location, and it is an extremely important strategic place."

Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan with satisfaction, the strongest thing about his disciple was his foresight, seeing far and thoroughly, and now the strategy seemed to be the same, not to mention the details, but there is no problem with the general strategic direction.

"Yes, Cao Cao went to fight with Yuan Shu's main force. Our army took the opportunity to capture Jiujiang, which not only responded to the court's call, but also did not cause excessive losses. Yuan Shu is resisting Cao Cao at this time, and the rear is empty. In this battle, Jiangdong must If Sun Ce can be killed, there will be chaos in Jiangdong, and we will be unable to go north. It is the time when our army captured Jiujiang and Lujiang counties. With these two counties, Marquis Wen will not be inferior to Cao Cao!" Chen Gong laughed. road.

Of course, the most important thing is Jiujiang. For Lujiang, it doesn't matter whether you win or not.

"If Cao Cao has no time to take care of himself, we can take this opportunity to build a ship in Hefei, and then cross the river to seize Jiangdong, but Cao Cao probably won't let me cross the river easily!" Chu Nan pointed to the map.

"Why do we have to go here? The river is so big, where can't we cross it?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled, he knew nothing about water warfare.

"To cross the river, we need to build a boat. If we build a boat along the river, Jiangdong will definitely notice it and send troops to destroy it. We can't build it at all. If we want to cross the river, we can only build a boat from the inland, and then send it to the riverside. On the north bank of the great river, there are only two suitable ones, one is the Hanshui River in Jingzhou, and the other is here, and then it exits Ruxukou and then crosses the river." Chu Nan described the topography of the Hefei area in detail.

If you want to go to Jiangdong, Jiujiang must be captured. Although Guangling is near the river, it has no ability to build ships. If you go by sea, the sea today is not just as simple as waves, there are countless sea animals in the sea. There are many aggressive sea beasts. If you build a ship by the sea, Jiangdong will not be able to find it, but if you want to send the ship to the river by sea, the risk may be higher than building a ship directly on the Guangling River.

Lu Bu looked at the map and nodded. Having said that, he understood that the great river seemed vast, but there were only two suitable roads, and there was only one on their side.

No wonder the son-in-law and Chen Gong value Jiujiang so much.

"Jiangdong is a barren land, what benefit can I get by waiting?" Lu Bu somewhat looked down on Jiangdong. As a northerner, the climate here in Huainan was already very uncomfortable. , but it can be done without the invasion of cold and heat. The environment has little effect on him, but he still feels uncomfortable, let alone ordinary northern soldiers.

The elite under Lu Bu's command are basically from the north, including the generals, who are also mainly from the north. This land in the east of the river, Lu Bu is somewhat repulsive and doesn't want it.

"This is a deep land, if you can get it, you will definitely want it." Chen Gong sighed, some don't want to talk to Lu Bu, do you want to have this land?

Chu Nan drew a circle at the bottom of the previous map with a branch, smiled at Lu Bu, and said, "Father-in-law, this is Jiangdong. There is a big river and a natural moat. It can be said that it is a relatively closed place. It is not easy for the princes to attack. You can For the development of Anyi, there is no need to worry too much about the external environment.”

"Our army has Xuzhou and Jiujiang as strategically important places to compete with the princes of the Central Plains. If there is a large rear area like Jiangdong in the rear, it can provide continuous help to our army. Moreover, the transportation of materials in Jiangdong is different from that in the north. It relies on water transportation. One boat, two boatmen can transport the amount of grain, grass and luggage that can be transported by ten or even twenty peasants in the north, but the speed is faster than that of the peasants. At least on the Huaishui line, with Jiangdong as the backing, we can serve our army Save a lot of manpower and material resources. In this war, unless the victory can be determined quickly, the fight will be logistical consumption. If Jiangdong can enter the hands of our army, our army will have no worries in the rear. In such places, father-in-law Are you sure not to?"

Lu Bu looked at the circle drawn by Chu Nan and fell into deep thought. In this way, if Jiang Dong can succeed, it will indeed be a great help.

Then he sighed: "But as Gongtai said, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't give me this chance!"

"Opportunities can wait, but my father-in-law needs to have this plan in mind. Our army has strategically important places like Xuzhou. If we can win Jiangdong again, we will not only have no worries in the rear, but also have an endless supply of food and grass. As long as the time permits, we can seize Jiangdong for us As far as the army is concerned, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Chu Nan said with a smile: "However, if there is a chance to completely defeat Cao Cao, the Central Plains must be given priority."

No matter how good Jiangdong is, it is only a small corner, but if there is a chance to replace Cao Cao as the overlord of the Central Plains, of course the Central Plains must be the main one. Regardless of population and talents, it is far superior to Jiangdong.

Lu Bu nodded: "Okay, I will kill Sun Ce in this battle!"

Sun Ce must die!
