Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 529 Kill Lu Bu First
"What's the news?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You.

"After the Jinyang incident, Zhen Yao hid in Bingzhou and never came back, but the Zhen family was ordered to raise food and grass in the name of supporting our army and send it to Dai County. According to the information I got, the food and grass will be focused on the basics. In an empty city, why..." Xu You looked at the crowd, smiled and said, "Maybe you think of it?"

Everyone present was not stupid, and the Zhen family obviously had ulterior motives for doing this. The deaths of Xinpi, Gao Gan, and Guo Yuan, and the loss of Bingzhou, if you count it seriously, it was the Zhen family who helped Chen Gong. No matter what the purpose was for transporting grain to Guanzhong, Zhen Yao probably knew that he had no good fruit to eat when he came back, so he completely defected to Chu Nan and used the influence of the Zhen family in Jizhou to help Chu Nan. It is very possible to prepare to attack Youzhou's grain and grass.

"Shameless villain!" Guo Tu snorted coldly, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, why not use this as an excuse to arrest the Zhen family and confiscate their property."

"No!" Ju Shou quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay if you just copy the Zhen family, but the Zhen family has a deep root in Jizhou, and there are many famous people who have good relations with the Zhen family. If the Yi family is too involved, it will easily cause turmoil. , it is not appropriate to go to war at this time."

Xu You concurred: "I think that maybe we can take advantage of this matter to plan and set up Lu Bu!"

Yuan Shao's eyes moved when he heard the words, he looked at Xu You and said, "What's Ziyuan's plan?"

"My lord." Xu You said with a smile: "The reason why Chen Gong raised grain and grass in this way is because the road to Bingzhou is difficult to travel. To transport grain and grass from the Central Plains to Youzhou, you have to go to Heluo, and after crossing the river, you need to cross Hedong, Taiyuan, and Yanmen. The land of the three counties stretches for more than a thousand miles? And the road to Bingzhou is difficult, our army only needs to send a few elites to enter, and they can find a place to set up an ambush, cut off their food roads, and easily make them fall into a predicament of food shortage."

After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu You smiled and said, "Why don't I follow the plan and gather the elite to find a place to set up an ambush, just to surround and kill Lu Bu. The terrain at this secluded junction is more suitable for trapping the enemy. If Lu Bu really dares to come, it will be easier to encircle and kill him, even if he loses Bingzhou, but he can kill Lu Bu, why not recapture Bingzhou, and then send his troops south, destroying southern Chu is as easy as turning the palm of your hand!"

Tian Feng frowned: "Could this be the Chen Gong's strategy? To lure the main force of our army to go to Youzhou with food and grass? Now that Lu Bu is in Bingzhou, why don't we take this opportunity to gather all our strength to defeat the main force of Chunan first? If we can capture and kill Chu Nan, even Lu Bu cannot preside over the vast Central Plains!"

Lu Bu's death is only to shake the morale of the army, but if he can kill Chu Nan, it will be a huge profit. Now the overall situation in the Central Plains is controlled by Chu Nan alone. If Chu Nan dies, although Chu Nan has children, but he is too young, Lu Bu will go Although he is the protagonist here, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Lu Bu can get this far thanks to the help of his son-in-law. Without Chu Nan, Lu Bu might not even be able to control Xuzhou, let alone the three states in the Central Plains Well, what control does Lu Bu take.

As long as Chu Nan dies, the power of Chu Nan will be disintegrated immediately. In addition, some people in the court who are dissatisfied with Chu Nan will take the opportunity to make a move, and the current Central Plains will be divided into an era of princes. Wouldn't it be better for Yuan Shao to defeat each other at that time?
"Yuan Hao's words are not unreasonable!" Yuan Shao nodded hesitantly. Xu You's strategy moved him very much, but the only point is that the ambush site is too far away from Yecheng. directly threatened.

The risk is a bit high.

And if there is any problem with killing Chu Nan, he can respond in time. Even if Youzhou falls, Yuan Shao will have the confidence to fight back.

"My lord, Chu Nan has always put his life first, and he will stand in the safest place in every battle. Although Lu Bu is the most brave man in the world, at least we can still see him, but Chu Nan is different. According to Judging from previous combat experience, what this person is best at is not commanding troops, but engaging in intrigue and self-defense. He may not be seen after the first battle. Even if our army can defeat the main force of Chu Nan, it may be difficult. Capture and kill this man, and he only needs to retreat to Aocang and guard the Dahe. If Lu Bu seizes the opportunity to seize Youzhou at this time, and with the food and grass provided by the Zhen family, our army will be in a situation where the enemy will be attacked!" Xu You said in a deep voice: "My lord, think twice."

"This..." Yuan Shao had a headache, and both sides were right. After Chu Nan came to power, they also studied Chu Nan's behavior style. Before Chu Nan became famous, he took several risks, but since he became famous, he There are no more risky moves, and the marching style has never confronted the enemy head-on, but tried every means to shady people from behind.

Just like Yuan Tan's time, his stupid son was tricked twice by Chu Nan, and he was even used as a knife. Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt heartbroken for a while.

"My lord!" Guo Tu stepped forward and said, "Chunan's fierce attack on Chaoge won't make any progress for half a month, and instead he lost his troops. If my lord is worried, I can add some more troops to General Cao Ren. In addition, in the direction of Li Yang, Zhang Liao is also difficult to break. General Xiahou was even forced to defend several times by General Xiahou. There is no serious problem in these two places. The only patient is Gao Shun. The power of the general is enough to suppress Gao Shun! In addition, the generals of the Cao family are enough to resist Chu Nan. After our army besieges and kills Lu Bu, turn around, even if you run away from Chu Nan, as long as you win this battle, you can Suppress the general situation, break through Xuchang all the way, and welcome the emperor!"

Old General Han is an old gun king in Hebei. It is said that his spear skills are not inferior to that of Tong Yuan, and he is even more proficient in the art of war. People like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan have all been taught by Han Qiong to some extent.

It’s just that Han Qiong was old and weak in the past few years, and he was no longer brave when he was young. But this time the power of heaven and earth has recovered, and his ideas have been passed down. Han Qiong’s courage has gradually recovered. Give Han Qiong a few years, and he can even compete with Na Lu Bu for the prestige of the world's number one fierce general.

"Old General Han...what do you think?" Yuan Shao looked at an old man sitting down when he heard the words.

The old man has silver hair, but he is quite vigorous. He is dressed in a Confucian robe, but he can't hide his burly figure, but there is a little less youthful spirit between his brows, and his eyes are also neutral and peaceful.

This person is Hebei spear king Han Qiong.

Hearing this, Han Qiong thought for a while, got up and bowed to Yuan Shao: "My lord, from the perspective of veterans, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are good generals under Chu Nan's tent. In terms of military strategy alone, although there are many strong generals under my lord's tent, they can There are almost no sure winners between the two."

Yan Liang and Wen Cangyan raised their eyebrows. If someone else said this, they would have to refute immediately, but it was Han Qiong who spoke, and they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"The old general is too modest. If the old general goes out, he is afraid that he won't be able to subdue them?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"It's not that the old general raised others' ambitions. That Zhang Liao is a wise general. He uses the combination of soldiers and tactics. He doesn't stick to the situation. He can not only sit in the middle army to plan strategies, but also take the lead. Looking at the world, I am afraid that no one can say that he can win against this man. Gao Commander Shun is a bit lacking, but his marching style is as mountainous as a mountain, and the power of eight hundred traps, the veteran has also seen it in his early years, and there is no infantry in the world who can surpass him. From this point of view, he has commanded troops several times, although he is not as good as Zhang Liao. Stunning, but not bad, and there is Ji Ling beside him to help him lead the army, this Ji Ling is the former general of Gonglu Gong, quite handsome, and should not be underestimated, the combination of these two is no worse than that of Zhang Liao!"

Han Qiong spoke in one breath, and seeing Yuan Shao's face gradually showing displeasure, he sighed in his heart, and stopped talking, the lord seemed to be getting more and more irritable.

"The old general can't win even if he fights himself?" Yuan Shao frowned.

"My lord, veterans can be guaranteed undefeated, but if they want to win, no matter Zhang Liao or Gao Shun, veterans are not absolutely sure!" Han Qiong sighed.

Commanding soldiers to fight wars doesn’t mean that the older you get, the more powerful you become. After reaching a certain level of experience, the effect will be small. Sometimes talent is something that cannot be smoothed out by experience. Fearing anyone, his prestige in his prime was not much worse than those of today's top generals, but when it comes to marching and fighting, Han Meng has carefully studied the military style of these people, but he dare not make too much of it!
"Undefeated?" Yuan Shao was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but the only general he could mobilize right now was Han Qiong, and if he wanted to besiege and kill Lu Bu, he had to concentrate all the top combat forces under his command.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Then General Lao will lead the expedition to retake the plains, and you will be alone with [-] elite soldiers. In addition, the generals of the counties also have the right to mobilize troops. What does the general think?"

Regardless of whether to go to Youzhou or not, Gao Shun can't ignore this journey, otherwise the whole Jizhou may be threatened by Gao Shun.

"The last general takes orders!" Han Qiong said with a bow.

What he said before was not cowardice, but just to explain to Yuan Shao that the enemy is not as weak as he imagined, but he will not be timid if he wants to go out to fight. After so many years of retirement in Jizhou, although he has cultivated many disciples, Han Meng is now the same. Second only to the generals of the Four Court Columns, but as a military general, who doesn't want to fight on the battlefield, the shroud of horse leather, such as today's changes, and the concept of thinking to restore his physical fitness to even surpass the peak, he will have a moment of thoughts of these young generals today .

Although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with his behavior of praising the enemy general, but seeing him so straightforwardly agreed, his expression also eased a little.

The rest is how to choose.

Go to Youzhou to besiege and kill Lu Bu?Or clean up Chu Nan first?

"My lord, Chu Nan is not easy to kill, but we have already grasped the movements of the Zhen family. To control these is to control the route of Lu Bu's march and kill Lu Bu Yi. If Chu Nan is defeated first, Chu Nan will also be defeated. According to guarding the ferry, and Lu Bu has the support of the Zhen family's food and grass, if our army wants to surround and kill Lu Bu, it will be difficult to find an opportunity!" Seeing that Yuan Shao was still hesitating, Guo Tu persuaded softly.

Yuan Shao was startled when he heard the words, and nodded silently, as if he had made up his mind: "Just follow Ziyuan's plan and kill Lu Bu first!"
