Chapter 800: If you can kill Xu Chu
Being able to step by step to the position of a prince is a difficult thing for the princes, and it is also very necessary to create more advantages for themselves.
If there is no corresponding means to deal with the war when the war comes, it will be the beginning of a nightmare for the princes.
Fighting against the enemy army is a more dangerous thing in itself, and if you can't gain an advantage from the battle, you will lose more.
Yuan Shu is clear about this truth.
"What you have said is very true." When he said this, Yuan Shu had a lot of unwillingness in his heart, could it be that the war had not yet begun, and he would have to suffer in terms of scouts?
"General Zhang needs to be more cautious when inquiring about the situation of the enemy army, and try to avoid conflicts between our army scouts and the enemy army." Yuan Shu set his eyes on Zhang Xundao.
Zhang Xun could only nod yes, his current scouts were at a disadvantage, and from Yuan Shu's words, Zhang Xun could feel that he clearly did not intend to have more confrontations with Lu Bu in this matter, which had a great impact on the cavalry under his command.
Clashing with the Xuzhou army under Lu Bu is a great challenge for the officers and men in the army, and how to win from the battle is also what Zhang Xun needs to think about, but now, his own cavalry has suffered losses in the battle, as a cavalry general, but he can't give a good explanation to the cavalry under his command.
Such a thing has a great impact on Zhang Xun's influence in the army.
It is precisely because Zhang Xun controls the cavalry in the army that he can have a higher prestige among the generals in the army, such a position, but there are many people who covet it, and commanding the cavalry team to fight will have more possibilities on the battlefield.
Ensuring his status in the army is of great significance to Zhang Xun, if he can't even guarantee this aspect, how can he have greater achievements.
The training of cavalry is usually Zhang Xun's responsibility, and if the cavalry cannot have excellent performance on the battlefield, such responsibility will fall on Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun attaches great importance to the scout confrontation, but when the Xuzhou army has corresponding measures, it is obviously unrealistic to get more benefits from the hands of the Xuzhou cavalry.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xun has a lot of depression.
Yang Hong seems to see the unwillingness in Zhang Xun's heart, as a famous general under Yuan Shu's account, in the face of the suppression of the Xuzhou army in terms of cavalry, but there is no greater action, which is a big blow to Zhang Xun, as a strategist in the army, he must take into account the mood of the general.
Otherwise, it is impossible for Yang Hong's position in the army to be more stable, precisely because he has an advantage in dealing with the generals in the army, Yang Hong can be like a fish in water under Yuan Shu's account, even if the war planned before failed, it still did not change Yang Hong's status in Yuan Shu's mind.
Zhang Xun was able to be ordered to take charge of the cavalry team, which had a very important position in Yuan Shu's army, and it was very necessary to maintain a good relationship with such a general.
"General Zhang, in fact, when dealing with the Xuzhou cavalry, you can find a way, not that you have to confront the cavalry of Xuzhou head-on, our cavalry, compared to the Xuzhou cavalry, started much later, if you confront the Xuzhou cavalry head-on, you will definitely suffer, only a little planning is needed to make the enemy pay the price, so as not to despise the cavalry of our army." Yang Hong said slowly.
Zhang Xun's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "If Changshi has any strategy, I hope to advise." ”
Strategists have an important position in an army, especially strategists, one of their strategies may make a lot of changes in the situation on the battlefield, and nowadays, the princes of all sides are extremely concerned about the power of strategists.
This is also true for Lu Bu, the Xuzhou army can win again and again when fighting against the enemy, which has a lot to do with the planning of Jia Xu and others, Yuan Shu also thought about getting rid of Jia Xu and Guo Jia in secret, but the assassin's actions were not successful.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he was also more interested in Yang Hong's next words, "Changshi said bluntly. ”
"The current cavalry team in Xuzhou is led by Xu Chu, the commander of Lu Bu's personal guards, who is responsible for investigating the situation on the battlefield, Xu Chu is a general under Cao Cao, and he took refuge in Lu Bu after being captured alive for Lu Bu, and is a fierce general under Lu Bu, but in terms of wisdom, there must be a big gap." Yang Hong said: "This time, Xu Chu is in charge of the scouts in Xuzhou, if Xu Chu can be killed, it will be a nightmare for the enemy army." ”
"Now the scout team in Xuzhou has an advantage when inquiring about the news, which will inevitably make the Xuzhou cavalry proud, and when the time comes, our army only needs to show weakness, and it will definitely attract the enemy cavalry to come forward, and after secretly arranging it, it will definitely be able to kill Xu Chu in one fell swoop."
Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, Xu Chu had a certain status under Lu Bu's account, if he could really kill Xu Chu, it would have a great impact on the morale of the Xuzhou army.
For a long time, Lu Bu had an elite cavalry force under his command, which had a great influence on the other princes, and if the impact of the cavalry's combat effectiveness could be eliminated, the possibility of winning this battle would increase a lot.
And Xu Chu is under the command of Lu Bu, and he is also a famous fierce general, if he wants to kill Xu Chu in the process of a head-to-head battle, it is obviously difficult, and if he uses strategy, it is different, Xu Chu is just a general, and there must be a gap in dealing with strategies.
Taking advantage of the current advantage of the Xuzhou army, if Xu Chu is killed, it will be of great help to the next war, and it may be able to raise the morale of the officers and men in the army, and there will be a greater possibility of victory against the Xuzhou army.
The Xuzhou army won in the previous war, such things were for Yuan Shu, and the defeat of the Xuzhou army became an important goal of Yuan Shu, in order to achieve this goal, Yuan Shu mobilized the army to attack Xuzhou again, in order to completely eradicate Lu Bu, so that the influence of Lu Bu was completely eliminated.
In this way, Yuan Shu's status among the princes can be greatly improved, and the princes will have more complaints when facing him, I am afraid that when the order is issued, more princes will take refuge one after another.
This kind of situation is what Yuan Shu wants to see the most, as a powerful existence among the princes, Yuan Shu has ambitions, and such ambitions are also what many princes have, but they dare not do it.
