Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 138 Don't force me to cheat

The armor is sufficient, the food and grass are ready, and the rest is to unify the strategy and formulate tactics.

During these days, Liu Fu also took Yangzhou's second-in-command, Don't drive Jiang Ji, to Wan County, and discussed with Liu Ye, Lu Su and others how to deal with the banditry.

All four are talented, and they express their views clearly and logically.

Both Liu Fu and Jiang Ji are doves, thinking that Huainan has already been ruined badly by that old man Yuan Shu, and there is no need to start another war and make the people of Huainan suffer.

Liu Ye and Lu Su are the obvious hawks, they want to fight Huainan, let Huainan achieve ten years of stability.

"The land of Huainan can no longer withstand twists and turns!"

"If you want to sweep Chen Lan and others by force, at least tens of thousands of troops will be needed to put them down. Can the current imperial court still send so many soldiers?"

Liu Fu spat and said, "May I ask how many soldiers Liu Taishou has now? It's okay if he wins, but what if he loses?"

Although he is a dove, Liu Fu is not a pigeon for the sake of pigeons.

Now he just wants to do his job well - that is, to stabilize the situation in Huainan and recuperate.

It is not his consideration to suppress chaos, suppress bandits, or even start a war against Jiangdong!
In other words, even if he thinks about it, he still has to be careful about the risks inside, so as not to make a bigger mess.

On the contrary, it was Liu Ye and Lu Su.

Especially Lu Su, now urgently needs a credit to let himself break into Cao Cao's sight.

Correspondingly, his ideas will be bold and his approach will be radical.

Lu Su was not afraid that Liu Fu was the nominal "Lord of Jiangdong", and directly replied: "The court has to find a way to do everything, why use the court to appoint local officials?"

"Chen Lan and Lei Xu are powerful, but they are nothing more than dead bones in the grave, vulnerable to a single blow!"

"They are different from the vassals in the separatist regime. They don't know how to govern, and they don't know how to develop. They just gather fugitives and turn them into bandits! Such a force only needs a big victory to punish the culprits. Naturally, the peace of Lujiang will be preserved forever. !"

"But what if there is no big victory?"

"Doing nothing, how can there be a big victory?"

Jiang Ji from Yangzhou came out to face Lu Su: "Lu Zijing! War is not as easy as you said? Who can guarantee that the battle will be smooth?"

"We have Marquis Shen here!"

He Yan:? ? ?
He Yan, who had been eating melons and watching dramas, was suddenly pointed out by Lu Su, which exposed He Yan very innocently to Liu Fu and Jiang Ji's sight.

"Marquis Shen?"

"That's right!"

Lu Su even made a reassuring statement: "With Marquis Shen here, let alone tens of thousands of thieves, what about hundreds of thousands of thieves?"

He Yan:? ? ?
At this time, He Yan really wanted to go up and kick Lu Su, telling him that you are bragging and don't take me with you.

However, He Yan also saw that Lu Su deliberately wanted to pull himself into the water, using himself as a bargaining chip to overwhelm Liu Fu and Jiang Ji.

After all, the most elite force in Lujiang County is the [-] [Plagiarized Yao Battalion] under He Yan's command. If He Yan insists on a decisive battle with Chen Lan and others, Liu Fu and the others have no choice.

"Marquis Shen!"

Liu Fu also seemed to realize that the existence of He Yan was Lu Su's strong support, so he turned his finger on He Yan.

"Chen Lan and others are no better than Li Shu, so don't be careless!"

He Yan's name was like thunder, so it was impossible for them not to know about it.

Whether it was persuading the enemy to surrender in front of the Guandu formation, or single-handedly taking down Li Shu in Wanxian County, everything is amazing.

However, neither Liu Fu nor Jiang Ji was mediocre, and they did not blindly worship He Yan like the general public.

In their view, He Yan's achievements are all based on "using the rules".

To put it simply, it is like the "soldier yin and yang" in the military family, who follow the time, push the punishment and virtue, and fight with each other, because of five victories.

This kind of ability is naturally useful within the scope covered by the rules, but it is a bit stretched outside the rules.

No matter how powerful Li Shu was, he was still in the category of "official".

Within this category, as long as Li Shu dies, He Yan can easily use the system to control Li Shu's subordinates and take down Wan County.

But Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Mei Gan are "bandits".

Bandits, no, they are different from normal.

They have left the world and embarked on a different path.

They don't care about production, ignore laws and regulations, and form a school of their own.

At this time, the set of "soldier yin and yang" is useless, and it is only useful to completely defeat them on the frontal battlefield by using "military strategy" and "soldier situation".

Even if Lu Su had a way to divide and weaken Chen Lan's group, but could He Yan really guarantee that he would outperform his enemies several times or even ten times?

What Liu Fu and Jiang Ji are most afraid of now is that He Yan mistakenly indulged in his positive ability on the battlefield, and opposed Chen Lan and others.

In that case, not only He Yan himself "cannot be guaranteed at the end of the festival", Huainan may also be dragged into the flames of war and become a purgatory on earth again.

Liu Fu looked at He Yan expectantly, hoping that He Yan would reject Lu Su and recognize himself.

But unfortunately...

Liu Fu was still disappointed.

He Yan nodded with great confidence: "Don't worry, Zijing! I dare not say hundreds of thousands of bandits, but if there are only [-] to [-], then you can rest assured and leave it to me!"

Hearing He Yan's words, Liu Fu's complexion turned gray visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Ji also shook his head secretly, tearing off the label of "Young Hero" on He Yan in his heart, and then pasting a label of "Arrogant and Arrogant".

arrogant!

Too arrogant!

Do you really think that you are the reincarnation of Huo Qubing, and you can lead troops to defeat enemies that are several times your own at a young age?

Ah!
Both Liu Fu and Jiang Ji's performances were noticed by He Yan, but He Yan didn't say much.

In fact, He Yan is not arrogant.

On the contrary, he is very clear that his level on the battlefield is indeed limited, and he still needs to hone and grow.

But He Yan has confidence in Lu Meng!

Although Lu Meng is only in his early 20s, he has actually been fighting in Jiangdong for five years with his brother-in-law Deng Dang.

In these battles, although Lu Meng's ability did not grow to the level of a "famous general", he was definitely not able to be trapped by a "other Sima".

Now Lu Meng is stuck at the boundary between "School Captain" and "General".

What he lacks is only the experience of leading troops on a large scale, not the ability to attack in battle.

Chen Lan, Lei Xu, etc. who are going to be pacified now, although they have a large number of people, they are all mobs, and they will not adopt army tactics.

The best way to defeat them is actually to make a surprise attack, and this is exactly what Lu Meng is good at.

To sum up, He Yan felt that with Lu Meng's ability and the elite of three thousand [Plagiarized Yaoying], they could completely deal with those thieves.

And it's not like He Yan doesn't have a backup.

The [-] shi of food and grass that Zhou Yu asked for was He Yan's second hand.

It is true that Cao Cao can't tell the difference between soldiers and horses, but it doesn't mean that others can't tell the difference!

To the north of Lujiang County is Runan County.

The prefect of Runan, Man Chong, also had thousands of elite soldiers who often fought against Liu Pi and his band of Yellow Turban bandits.If He Yan reported to Cao Cao and offered to provide food and grass, I believe that Man Chong would be happy to lead the south to support.

With Man Chong and Lu Meng leading the army, plus Liu Ye, Lu Su, and Lu Xun's three dog-headed army divisions, if they still can't beat Chen Lan and the others, then He Yan dares to wring Cao Pi's head off and throw it to Liu Fu and Jiang Ji for kicking Play.

But all this has a premise.

It is Lu Su's strategy that needs to succeed.

Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Mei Gan can add up to [-] troops. If they unite, it will be troublesome.

Strategies that do not ask Lu Su can weaken them.As long as the division is successful and He Yan defeats each of them, then Lu Su has made a great contribution.

"Inspector Liu, don't drive Jiang."

Although He Yan decided to stand up for Lu Su, he still treated the two with good words.

"Actually, I also know what you two are worried about. It is nothing more than the fear that Huainan will lose control after the battle is defeated, and then the people in Lujiang and Jiujiang will be in trouble."

"But if we don't encircle and suppress these thieves and let the people live in fear every day, is this treating the people kindly?"

"Lei Xu and Meigan are better. They at least occupy the fields and Chaohu Lake, and they have food for their soldiers. But what about Chen Lan?"

"The products around Tianzhu Mountain are not rich, which means that Chen Lan and his followers have to go out and plunder the people if they want to survive."

"If Governor Liu and Jiang Biejia were the common people near Tianzhu Mountain, wouldn't you tolerate such thieves often coming to loot your house?"

He Yan shook his head: "In the long run, even those people who are willing to cultivate the fields will lose their livelihoods and become thieves because of the continuous plundering of their food. Is this what Governor Liu wants to see?"

"Governing states and counties requires not only learning to "nourish", but also learning to "eliminate diseases."

"Otherwise, no matter how much you do, it will only make this body more and more broken, and eventually become terminally ill."

"I hope that the two of you will carefully consider the truth and save the people of Huainan from the fire and water as soon as possible!"

He Yan's words made Liu Fu and Jiang Ji stunned on the spot.

They only thought about taming those thieves, but they didn't think that thieves also need to eat.

And if the bandits want to eat, they must not farm the land honestly, and they will definitely choose to rob other people's property.

As such.

Before it was too late to persuade the original bandits to be good, some people couldn't stand the plunder and became new bandits. It's really strange that Huainan can be stable!

"This battle must be fought?"

Liu Fu seems to be asking others, but also seems to be asking himself.

"This battle must be fought!"

He Yan also doesn't like war, because war often means death.

But war can often guarantee the lives of other people.

It can only be said that the laws of the world are really disgusting and outrageous.

Jiang Ji still had doubts: "But in case of defeat..."

"It doesn't matter, I will make a move when the time comes."

He Yan looked serious.

If Man Chong's second hand is not enough to defeat Chen Lan and Lei Xu's gang, then He Yan can only hang up!

I remember hearing the old man say that there seems to be saltpeter and sulfur in the Dabie Mountains?

……

……

With He Yan's firm support, Liu Fu and Jiang Ji finally let go and planned to listen to Lu Su's strategy.

Lu Su's plan was to win over Chen Lan, who was from the regular army.

Regardless of whether Chen Lantong agrees or not, the news that [Chen Lan has accepted the recruitment and will attack Lei Xu and Meigan with the court] must be released.

Chen Lan was originally an outsider, and his relationship with Lei Xumei was not harmonious. If the news reached the two of them, they would definitely have concerns.

Once Lei Xu and Mei Gan became suspicious, the government could send someone to recruit them again.

Enrollment is fake, differentiation is real.

The government can completely say in front of each of them that the government can only recruit one person, and then cause cracks between the two of them.

As long as these three families fall into suspicion, no matter whether they are stupid enough to join the government, He Yan will be given a chance to divide and break them.

This plan is nothing new, the key is that the envoy who wants to divide the three families must be resourceful enough to turn the three families around.

Since Lu Su proposed this plan, the mission of the envoy naturally fell on him.

"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! Either I, Lu Zijing, will be hacked by that bandit, and my body will be thrown in an unknown corner; or I will succeed immediately and secure ten years of peace for Huainan!"

Lu Su said to Liu Fu and Jiang Ji: "Although I was born in Xuzhou, I can still be regarded as half of Huainan. Naturally, I don't want the people here to be tortured by thieves again."

"If you two believe me, give me a chance. I, Lu Zijing, will bet on the safety of millions of people in Huainan with my life and death!"

After these words, Lu Su silently added a sentence in his heart——

"At the same time, I also bet on my future, Lu Zijing!"

Seeing Lu Su's righteousness, Liu Fu and Jiang Ji were also moved by it.

"Since Zijing is willing to sacrifice his life for peace, how dare we stop him?"

Liu Fu was from Pei, and Jiang Ji was from Chu.

Like Lu Su, Huainan is considered half of their hometown.

If it is not really powerless, who would not like to see their hometown is peaceful, peaceful and free from worries?

Now that Lu Su and Liu Ye are determined to do it, they also agreed to start planning this matter.

Of the four,
Liu Fu was appraised by later generations as "sophisticated and powerful, so he can conquer thousands of miles", and he is a model of capable ministers.

Jiang Ji was already the second in command of Yangzhou at a young age, and later became the third Duke of Cao Wei, replacing Sima Yi as the Taiwei.

Lu Su, the future governor of Eastern Wu.

Liu Ye is a talented person of the world.

There are hundreds of people with four minds working together to study how to deal with a group of bandits. It can only be said that these bandits are lucky for three lives.

For a full ten days, the four of them were collecting information and formulating tactics, but they didn't realize that one person had disappeared from the house inexplicably.

"Huh? Where's Marquis Shen?"

Jiang Ji found that He Yan was missing, and felt a little outrageous.

"Marquis Shen is very clever, why doesn't he come and conspire with us?"

"Marquis Shen?"

Only then did Liu Ye recall that He Yan seemed to have said something casually before he left: "It's enough for you to discuss with four of you! Unless this will call Feng Xiao over, you will definitely not be able to formulate a better plan."

These words sounded right, but Liu Ye always felt that there was something hidden behind it.

really!

When he asked Lu Xun, He Yan's current little secretary, Lu Xun was also surprised: "The eunuch doesn't know?"

"Didn't Marquis Shen stay with Mrs. Marquis Wu for ten days?"

Liu Ye:? ? ?
Lu Su:? ? ?
Liu Fu:? ? ?
Jiang Ji: "It really is outrageous..."
