Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 614 I want to take the west and merge the state
"According to this argument, Duanmuling, you send Muxi to Yizhou to see Wei Yan. You don't need to have any letters, just express your intentions to him; then let Wang Can go to Jiangdong to see Sun Quan, and say that the four families are now settled. When watching the current situation, I suggest that he make friends with Liu Bei."

"Hanzhong raised troops, how should we use them?" Xu Shu asked.

"Hey." Zhou Cang sneered. "I'm already planning to move the mansion to Jinan next year..."

Xu Shu was taken aback for a moment: "My lord, going to Jinan to sit in the township is good for planning and planning, but it will alarm Cao Cao. Huh? Could it be, my lord?"

"That's right, I just wanted to alarm Cao Cao. I took advantage of his absence several times to capture his territory, again and again, and again and again, the two armies will inevitably confront each other head-on." Zhou Cang's voice changed. "However, I will not confront him directly. Shouchun is adjacent to Xuzhou. I attracted Cao Cao in Jinan, and Gongming attacked Shouchun. In this way, I share the land of Huainan with Sun Quan."

"Wonderful!" Xu Shu clapped his hands.There are three advantages of taking Shouchun. First, it is much easier to take Shouchun compared to Yanzhou and Sizhou. Second, it will disrupt Cao Cao's deployment and find opportunities for combat. Third, prevent Sun Quan from going north again and capture key areas first. , and later developed with Sun Quan, the importance of Shouchun is self-evident.

"It's a pity that Ziming died early, otherwise, with his help, Shouchun would be easy." Zhou Cang sighed
Speaking of his old partner Zhang Jiong, Zhou Wen also sighed: "Zi Ming once said that Yuan Shu's subordinates Chen Lan and Mei Cheng gathered in Jianghuai as bandits, which may be useful in the future, but it is a pity that these two were destroyed by Zhang Liao. It is only because they are too Unscrupulous, I don’t know how to restrain myself.”

"Duanmuling, you send someone from the espionage department to infiltrate Shouchun to find out the military situation."

"Returning to my lord, there are 5000 troops stationed in Shouchun, the chief general Li Tong, the deputy general Niu Gai, and Li Tong's sons Li Xu and Li Ji as generals. It is said that Niu Gai is brave and good at fighting, and Li Xu and Li Ji are also generals. " Duanmuling replied in response.

Xu Shu couldn't help taking a closer look at Duanmuling. He didn't know each other very long in Liaodong. He was still the head of the independent battalion. He didn't expect that apart from Jin Yiwei, the intelligence department also had good hands and eyes. It was even rarer that Duanmuling remembered him so firmly.

"Hehe, how can bravery be too fair? I have twice as many troops to attack, and I have a general to lead the army. Shouchun will definitely win!" Zhou Cang said with a smile: "But I still send people to keep an eye on it. If there is any trouble, immediately Come report."

"My lord takes Shouchun, how can I just sit and watch?" Xu Shu's eyes lit up. "I want to take Bingzhou from the west, so that Cao Cao will lose sight of the other."

"Huh? Bingzhou is not easy to get, Cao Zhang is fine, but Tian Yu is hard to deal with."

"It depends on the help of General Bocai." Xu Shu said with a slight smile, "I sent troops to Huguan to make them think that I was attacking from now on, gathered all the light cavalry to detour Xianbei, and made a long-distance attack around Xianbei, then attacked from north to south, and merged with the prefecture. Sure!"

"My lord, this is a great plan." Zhou Wen clapped his hands in praise.

"Okay, first send someone to Bocai's place, don't talk about borrowing a way from Xianbei, send more wine, tea, and salt over there, just make friends with him, and mention it when you send troops." Zhou Cang said. "Does Yuan Zhi have a candidate for the main general?"

"General Qu'a is the most suitable. Qu'a is brave and good at fighting, and he has the style of Lu Bu. People in Bingzhou have a deep awe of Lu Wenhou, which is enough to calm people's hearts. As for the deputy generals, one is Boba, the son of Bo Cai, and the other is Pei Feng, the son of Pei Yuanshao." Xu Shu Thinking carefully, the transfer of troops from Liaodong will naturally not alarm Cao Cao. These two rising stars need to hone their skills. This is a great opportunity. "Four thousand Qingqi, one thousand auxiliary soldiers, one Qingqi and two horses."

5000 people and [-] horses are not a small number.Two horses are necessary, one horse carries people and one horse carries load, otherwise it will be difficult to bear the long-distance load.Zhou Cang thought about it. "Duanmuling, you hand over the intelligence department to Munan and Mubei as temporary agents, and I will let you serve as a marching general to advise and advise. You go to Liaodong to mobilize horses and train soldiers."

Duanmuling and Qu'e got along well when they went to Wuhuan, so it was just right to send him there.Duanmu Ling was a little hesitant: "My lord, I have a merciless request, please allow me."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"I want to bring Ma Yunlu with me. My lord knows that she grew up in the northwest, knows the grasslands well, and is good at watching the weather. Having her here will save a lot of trouble, and her martial arts..."

"Hehe, did she want to go to battle a long time ago?"

Duanmuling nodded shyly.

"Okay, sure. But Lu Qiling needs your persuasion, so she doesn't want to go."

"My lord, since Qu'a is going, it's okay for Lu Qiling to go." Zhou Wen said with a smile: "It's also a good talk for the two women to fight."

"Alright, tell them that they must carry out the military orders." Zhou Cang smiled at Zhou Wen. "Naquping and Duanmu Jun will be handed over to you."

Qu A's eldest son, Qu Fengxian, is good at martial arts, while his second son, Qu Ping, is good at literature. The two brothers have completely opposite temperaments.

"Yuanzhi thinks when is the right time to send troops?"

"It's September now, and Liu Bei will send troops in the spring of next year at the earliest, so I plan to set it in the autumn of next year. One can be fully prepared, and the other is that the horses are fat and fat and can be scouted and driven."

"Very good, you have the full command of this battle and all the armies are at your disposal." Zhou Cang pondered for a while: "Although Huang Xu'er lacks strategy, his courage is comparable to that of his subordinates, so we should not underestimate him."

"What your lord said is very true. I had confronted him outside Julu, and he was indeed extremely fierce, especially the iron cavalry under him came and went like the wind. I heard that he also recruited thousands of Huns, Xianbei and other Hu cavalry in Bingzhou. It is not easy. .”

"Duanmu Ling, what's your best plan?" Xuanjiaqi is not suitable for long-distance travel, so he can only dispatch Qingqi, and Qingqi is not expensive, Zhou Cang does not want to fight to the death.

"Hu Qi is good at archery, but his bow is too weak to go far. From a long distance, I throw it with a spear, and from a medium distance, I shoot it with a hand crossbow. From a short distance, I shoot it with short weapons."

Dianman suddenly said: "Not right, not right."

When it comes to military strategy, Dianman seldom speaks. When it comes to combat, he always has good words. In Liaodong, he suggested that Xuanjia should use horses.

"Why is this?"

"I have no objection to the spear dart mentioned by Zifan, but the hand crossbow is not appropriate. I have used the hand crossbow, and it is good, but the production is too complicated. How can I ensure that everyone has one? I have used the hand crossbow, and the two armies are stuck together. , in order to change the weapon as soon as possible, we have to discard the hand crossbow, and it will inevitably be damaged or picked up by the opponent for imitation. Wouldn’t it be a pity to use the hand crossbow made with so much effort and money only once, and what will be used in the future?”

The biggest feature of Qingqi is its fast speed. Maybe it shoots a few crossbows directly, and the enemy is right in front of it. How can it meet the enemy with a hand crossbow?If it was too late to put it away, it could only be thrown away. If it was thrown away, it would be crushed and completely destroyed by the horseshoe.Hand crossbows are the equipment of the guard battalion and the independent battalion. The cost is too expensive to afford.It is even more terrifying if it is picked up by Cao Jun and imitated.

Hearing what Dianman said, Duanmuling also felt that something was wrong.Hu Qi is good at riding and shooting, is it possible that I want to shoot against him?Shooting at each other will inevitably increase casualties. "What is Pengju's great opinion, why don't you teach me?"
