Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 152 Abandoning Yan and Attacking Xu
From the attack on Hao Meng, it can be seen that Lu Bu and Zhang Miao attacked Yanzhou, Xun Yu and others have already got the news, and now we have lost the advantage of being surprised. If Cao Cao returns to aid Yanzhou at this time...

With hands behind his back, Chen Gong paced slowly, slightly lost in thought, as if in deep thought.

Seeing that Chen Gong's voice changed, Lü Bu judged from his past experience, although he didn't know what strategy to do, but he must have been seen through, maybe he fell into someone's trap and fell into a disadvantageous situation.

He knew that when Chen Gong was thinking, he didn't like to be disturbed by others, so he sat quietly back to his original place, only staring at Chen Gong who kept his head down, and silently waited for the military adviser to reveal his next move plan.

"This Chenliu...is absolutely invincible."

Chen Gong paused for a long time before holding back such a sentence.

Lu Bu raised his eyes suspiciously and looked at Chen Gong. He didn't quite understand why Chen Gong's attitude changed so quickly.

However, Lu Bu has no other advantages, except for listening to people's persuasion.

"Since the military division said not to attack, then withdraw the troops, and I will return to Puyang next?"

On the contrary, Chen Gong was a little dazed by Lu Bu's obedient response.

Could it be that Marquis Wen really trusts me so much?Even the act of retreating before the battle is willing to obey...

Lu Bu didn't ask the reason, but Chen Gong couldn't keep from mentioning the analysis behind his proposal, he thought for a while and said: "Wen Hou, we have been relying on the supply of food and grass from Puyang all the way to Chenliu, and now Yanzhou knows that we exist. , once you attack Chenliu, you will take the initiative to reveal our whereabouts."

"Chenliu is not a place that can be conquered in a few days. If Xun Yu and others cut off our food roads and attack the city again, even if they have the upper hand, it will be difficult to continue."

"What's more, Cao Cao also led the army back. I'm delaying in Yanzhou. It's hard to make a profit. How about..."

Chen Gong pondered for a moment, then walked quickly to the table lying on the ground, picked up the scroll on the ground, blew it clean and opened it.

"Why don't you take advantage of Cao Cao's return to Yanzhou, Xuzhou's combat power is empty, Tao Qian is old and incompetent, and Xuzhou will be included in his pocket!"

Chen Gong didn't realize that he had already taken Lu Bu's perspective unconsciously, thinking about how to make a living for him.

Pointing to Xuzhou circled on the map, he explained to Lu Bu earnestly: "The land of Xuzhou is just like fish and meat under the sword. If Marquis Wen doesn't take it at this time, it may be too late to regret it in the future."

"I think Yuan Shu in Huainan also intends to conspire against Xuzhou. Now that we are occupying the geographical advantage, it is a good time. If God does not take it, we will be blamed instead. Why didn't Marquis Wen make a decision earlier?"

Lu Bu only understood the word "Xuzhou" in Chen Gong's mouth. His first reaction was to nod, but he caught the word "Yuan Shu" again, and hesitated for a while.

"Take Xuzhou... the military adviser thinks, how much is cloth worth?"

It was rare for Lu Bu to be cautious, and Chen Gong couldn't help being a little surprised. He reacted a bit slower, and didn't immediately think of the entanglement between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

He estimated in his mind and replied: "If Marquis Wen can enter Xuzhou as soon as Cao Cao leaves, Tao Qian will be caught off guard... The chances of capturing Xuzhou are about eighty to ninety percent."

"But if you want to defend Xuzhou..."

Chen Gong frowned.

"There are Chen's father and son in Xuzhou, maybe...he didn't come to Xuzhou after all, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Military division don't need to worry too much."

Lu Bu was obviously much happier when he heard that he had an "eighty to ninety percent" chance of winning. He basically didn't take Chen Gong's analysis to heart.

"If I take Xuzhou first, I will naturally be free to deal with those who have different intentions. The big deal is to kill them all."

Chen Gong paused, but stopped talking.

Lu Bu had already stood up, no longer looking at Chen Gong, and commanded quite complacently: "Raise up the soldiers and horses, and enter Xuzhou with me!"

"Marquis Wen, is this too hasty?"

Zhang Liao was still thinking about Gao Shun who had not been heard from. At this time, all the soldiers were gathered outside Chenliu City. Although under Chen Gong's command, in order to cover up the news, they never let the scouts in the city find out before the time to attack the city.

This is due to the fact that they came in divisions and were able to control the noise during the march.

But if the army left Chenliu in a hurry, the possibility of being discovered would be greatly increased. Not to mention, if the army withdrew, could it be possible to go back to Puyang to get the food and grass needed?

Siege and looting on the road...wouldn't it delay the trip?

"Marquis Wen! Marquis Wen! General Gao is back!"

Halfway through Zhang Liao's speech, the soldiers outside the tent, with joyful faces, followed Gao Shun, whose armor was torn and his hair was disheveled, and hurried into the tent, repeating their voices.

Lu Bu was about to ask Gao Shun to blame, but Gao Shun knelt on the ground without saying a word, with a piece of coarse cloth roughly tied around his arm, and the blood splattered through the cloth. .

"...You were also attacked on the road?"

Lu Bu lifted the corner of his robe, leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, and asked angrily.

"Yes."

Gao Shun's words were concise and to the point, maybe he knew that answering this question was the same as not answering it, so he added another sentence: "Passing through Yan County, he was attacked, and the grain road was robbed."

"The food road is broken?!"

The fire that Lu Bu had finally suppressed was rekindled.

"But let you divide the soldiers once, how can you even go wrong with such a small matter?!"

Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao as usual.

Zhang Liao sighed, and persuasively persuaded: "Xiaofu has always been cautious, so as not to make such a big mistake... Marquis Wen might as well ask Xiaofu around, discern the situation clearly, and then... punish him."

Lv Bu snorted coldly, but he didn't object to Zhang Liao's suggestion. He knew exactly what kind of ability Gao Shun had.

Gao Shun would never allow anyone to bite off his flesh unless he really encountered a formidable enemy who was ambushing ahead of time.

As soon as Zhang Liao lifted the camp tent and went out, he was really surprised to see Gao Shun's soldiers, he couldn't lead the group of seriously injured soldiers into the tent for interrogation, so he had to go back to question Gao Shun.

"Xiaofu, what kind of people did you meet on the way? How could you suffer such a serious loss?"

"...Xun Yu."

Gao Shun lowered his eyes, and seemed to be somewhat resistant to mentioning the name.

"There is an unknown young general who is very good at shooting. Thousands of people under his command are ambushing in the mountains. I don't know how the news got out."

He finally said the first long sentence.

Lu Bu was a little annoyed: "Are you good at archery again? How can there be so many generals who use arrows in Yanzhou?"

Chen Gong had a bad heart. Hearing Gao Shun's words, it was certain that Xun Yu had made a move, but who the hell got the news of their sneak attack on Yanzhou so long in advance, and informed Xun Yu?
Could it be that there is chaos in Puyang?

No, even if Puyang is not in chaos, with Xun Yu's intellect, he can guess what's wrong with Puyang, so he should send troops to deal with it.

So it seems...

"Marquis Wen, don't worry about scheming any more. It's the best policy for me to leave Yanzhou as soon as possible!"

Chen Gong's tone was hurried, even mobilizing Lu Bu's emotions.

"Very well, all according to the military division."

Lu Bu was startled by Chen Gong's urging words, and seemed a little lost.

Chen Gongwei quickly slid his nails across the names on the map, and finally settled on a road.

"I'll go this way!"
