Chapter 177 I Only Go All the Way
Sun Ce obeyed Zhang Zhao's strategy, took Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu as the left and right governors, and each led a team to divide into left and right and march towards Huainan.

And he himself led the main force of Jiangdong to march towards Huainan through Hefei.

Lu Bu was only keeping an eye on the situation in Lujiang. When he arrived in Zhongli, he even sent additional scouts to keep an eye on Sun Ce's actions.

When he was setting up his troops at Zhongli, Yan Xiang and Ji Ling also came with their troops.

All deployments are in place, and Lu Bu is also ready to send troops.

Sun Ce's army set off first, and the scouts reported their movements to Lu Bu.

Gathering all the people to Zhongli's mansion, Lu Bu asked: "The scouts sent back news that Sun Ce divided his troops into three groups, with Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao as the left and right governors, and made a detour to Huainan. He personally led the army and went straight to Shouchun through Hefei. You guys How do you think we can defeat the enemy?"

Most of the people sitting here are military generals, only Yan Xiang is an aide.

When it comes to strategizing, he is only a third-rate, but at the moment other than him, it is impossible for anyone else to make meaningful suggestions, so Lu Bu's eyes fell on his face subconsciously.

"Sun Ce has a lot of soldiers and horses, and our army only has 3 people." Yan Xiang said: "Before Marquis Wen goes to battle, I want to go to Shouchun first."

"What are you doing in Shouchun?" Lu Bu said, "There are only Xiahoudun and Xiahoudun there. They should have been ordered to defend Shouchun, not to fight with our army."

"Orders are one thing, and how the battle is going to be is another." Yan Xiang said, "I have a chain plan that can help Marquis Wen get Lujiang in Huainan first."

Yan Xiang said that he had a plan, and Lu Bu asked, "I wonder what kind of plan Yan Gong has?"

"Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers are both reckless. It is absolutely no problem to let them charge forward, but it is not good to ask them to analyze the pros and cons." Yan Xiang replied: "Although the order they got is probably as Wen Hou guessed , but they are just reckless after all, as long as I go there, I can definitely persuade them to send troops to stop one of the Jiangdong army. Once they leave Shouchun, Wen Hou can take the opportunity to send troops in. Our army takes Shouchun, and they want to go back But it will be difficult."

"Yan Gong's strategy is to cut off the alliance's back path." Lu Bu said: "This method will give us a bad reputation."

"Marquis Wen thinks fame is more important, or Huainan?" Yan Xiang asked.

"I've always attached great importance to reputation." Lu Bu said while pinching his chin, "But Huainan is located in a strategically important route, and Cao Cao's presence here will definitely become a serious concern to me in the future. Compared with life and death, what is a mere reputation? "

When Lu Bu opened his mouth, Yan Xiang thought he would choose fame instead of Huainan.

But when he heard the back, the more he listened, the more unpleasant he became.

Until Lu Bu uttered the last sentence, his head was covered with black lines.

Obviously, he didn't care about his notoriety at all, but he chose to give himself a reputation of being famous before speaking. Except for Lu Bu today, there are probably only a few people in the world who can do such a thing .

"Since Marquis Wen values ​​Huainan, please allow me to take a trip." Yan Xiang said: "Whether it is against Marquis Wen or brothers Xiahou, the real opponent is Sun Ce, not each other. They will never do anything to me."

"What Yan Gong said is reasonable, but Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan are not stupid." Lu Bu said: "If the two of them refuse to send troops to help, we will not get Shouchun."

Lu Bu said in the previous sentence that it was not appropriate to seize Shouchun while the Xiahou brothers were out of the city to fight against the Jiangdong Army, but this will be entangled in the fact that the two are not stupid. If they refuse to leave the city, he will have no chance to enter Shouchun City.

Not only was the expression on Yan Xiang's face so embarrassing that it was extremely strange, even Zhang Liao and others turned their faces to the side and did not look at Lu Bu, with an expression of "I don't know this guy".

As if he didn't realize that their expressions were not right at all, Lu Bu continued: "Since you have no objection, I will assign a task."

"General Ji!" Looking at Ji Ling, he ordered: "You stay at Zhongli, no matter what anyone says or anything, don't open the city gate, no matter the enemy or allies, as long as anyone comes to call Zhongli city gate, you have to Put on a posture that there is no one at home, and never give them a chance to enter the city!"

"The general understands!" Ji Ling got up and took orders.

Lu Bu then ordered Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi leads the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to set off first, and when I prepare my soldiers and horses, I will follow you closely. We have to stop the enemy army when they enter Huainan. Not only can we not let them To get Shouchun, we have to take Hefei, Wancheng and other places from them!"

"I will lead the soldiers to set off!" Chen Dao took the order.

A few days ago when Lu Bu arrived in Zhongli, he gave Chen Dao an order to change the color of the battle flag and give each of the soldiers a set of scarlet shirts and a crimson headband.

In addition, Lu Bu also gave Chen Dao's soldiers a designation - Red Flame Army.

To name this army, he was also inspired by the uniforms and flags of the soldiers.

Cao Cao's Tiger Guards were always by his side, not only taking on the responsibility of fighting in battle, but also always guarding against whether someone would attack him secretly.

The Tiger Guard Army has been established for many years and has made many contributions to Cao Cao. It has long become synonymous with the warriors under his command.

Given the numbers of the soldiers led by Chen Dao, the first thing Lu Bu thought of was the Tiger Guards in front of Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao's tiger guard army flag was embroidered with a majestic tiger head. Although Lu Bu thought of them, he didn't intend to copy the designation.

The designation of the Red Flame Army seems to be randomly chosen by him, but it contains a very deep meaning.

Lu Bu believes that although the tiger is powerful, it is still an animal after all.

As long as it is an animal, it will die sooner or later, but the flame will not die.

The war is coming, and the opportunity to verify the Red Flame Army will also come. Watching Chen Dao who left one step ahead, Lu Bu is full of expectations for the performance of him and the Red Flame Army.

After Chen Dao left, he looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao respectively: "Zilong, Wen Yuanhe and He led the troops to fight Sun Ce together."

"There are three enemy armies, and we're just fighting all the way?" Zhao Yun asked in confusion.

"Although they have three large armies marching towards Huainan, the total number of troops has not increased." Lu Bu said: "Our army is not superior in numbers. If Sun Ce had not divided his forces, I would be worried that this battle would not be easy. This time, I just want to use the tactics of letting him come a few ways, and I only go all the way!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had never heard of such a tactic, they looked at each other and couldn't ask any more questions, so they had to agree.

"Everyone obeys the order, each obeys his duties, and gathers the army of soldiers and horses to go out!" Lu Bu gave the order to set off.
