After pondering for a moment, Fei Zhan said to the three of them: "In my opinion, it is better for us to go to Liu Xuan in Jiujiang together." ”

Mao Gan couldn't help frowning and said: "But in this way, we have to give up our cottage, and we will also send people under the fence in Jiujiang." I think that we can completely resist Lu Bu's army by virtue of the danger of the cottage, so why do we need to defect to Liu Xuan? ”

Chen Fu said: "The Anle Mountain of the Jinqi Department is even more steep than ours, but within three or five days, it was conquered by Lu Bu's army. I heard that there were only a few hundred dead and wounded. ”

"And our cottage is at most similar to Anle Mountain, or even inferior. Do you think that with our cottage, how long will we be able to resist Lu Bu's army? ”

"Besides, each of our families has more than 10,000 elite soldiers at most, and if it is like this, it will be a plate of scattered sand, and it can only be broken by Lu Bu's army. If we go to Jiujiang to defect to Liu Xuan, it is to gather all our strength and clench it into a fist, so why be afraid of Lu Bu? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Gancai said: "But Jiujiang Liu Xuan is an official of the imperial court, and if we go to him, won't we throw ourselves into the net?" Will it be merged by Liu Xuan? ”

Zu Shan smiled and said: "No, although Liu Miao is the assassin of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, he has no real power in his hands. Now that Lu Bu is attacking Jiangdong, Liu Miao has won the name of Yangzhou Assassin History, which has existed in name but is actually dead. ”

"I believe that after Lu Bu attacked Danyang County and Jiujiang County, he would definitely not let go of Lujiang and Jiujiang County. It was absolutely impossible for Liu Miao to give up the land of the two counties so easily. ”

In this way, Liu Miao and Lu Bu are bound to become enemies of life and death. When we went to Jiujiang, Liu Miao would only say welcome. The three of us have joined forces, and the total strength has surpassed that of Liu Xuan, and he does not have the strength to annex us at all. ”

Mao Gan was still hesitating and said, "But, even if we join forces with Liu Xuan, can we beat Lu Bu?" If we can't beat Liu Xuan together, then we might as well defend it in the cottage now! ”

The look of disdain on Fei Zhan's face flashed, and then he laughed and said, "The combined forces of our army, plus the forces in Liu Xuan's hands, are no less than Lu Bu's total strength. Besides, we are on the defensive side, and Lu Bu is on the offensive side! With the same number of troops, how can the attacking side break through the defending side? ”

After Fei Zhan said this, Mao Gan finally broke his worries, nodded and said, "That's true, well, I agree with you." ”

Fei Zhan said: "Without further ado, Lu Bu has just taken She County now, and he should need to rest for a few days. We must take advantage of this time to move to Jiujiang immediately. ”

After the discussion, the four of them hurriedly went back to the cottage to prepare.

Lu Bu rested in She County for three days, and then received information that the Shanyue in Yi County actually fled when they heard the wind and fled to Jiujiang County en masse.

As a result, Liu Xuan's strength in Jiujiang County has increased greatly, and if he wants to take Jiujiang County, he is bound to waste a lot of twists and turns.

However, these did not feel too difficult for Lu Bu.

Now there are only a few counties left in Danyang County, such as Yi County, which were easily taken by Lu Bu.

At this point, the entire Danyang County was completely controlled by Lu Bu.

At this time, Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun attacked the team of Yuzhang County, but they had not yet attacked all of Yuzhang County.

The county guard of Yuzhang County was originally Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao was afraid of Lu Bu's power, and Lu Bu's reputation spread all over the world, so Zhu Haode's original intention was to prepare to take refuge in Lu Bu.

It's a pity that Zhu Hao was killed by his subordinate Di Rong, and Di Rong took Zhu Hao's post as the county guard of Yuzhang County.

And Zhenrong colluded with Zhang Jie, the leader of Shanyue in Yuzhang, Peng Hu, the leader of Shanyue in Poyang, Dong Si in Linchuan, and Peng Zede, Peng Cai, Li Yu and Wang Hai.

Now Zhenrong has colluded with many Shanyue to occupy Poyang and Pengze, and his strength is huge, and for a while, it is difficult for Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun to take it down.

After getting the news, Lu Bu left thousands of elite soldiers in Danyang County, led the rest of the team, and rushed to Yuzhang County.

A few days later, Lü Bu rushed to Nanchang and joined up with Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun's army.

After seeing Lu Bu, Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun were very ashamed.

"My subordinates meet the lord! The subordinates have been unable to conquer Yuzhang County for a long time, and they are very ashamed! ”

Lu Bu laughed and said: "The thieves in Yuzhang County are strong, and I have not encountered decent resistance in Danyang County, can they be the same?" ”

Chen Qun said ashamedly: "My subordinates have heard it a long time ago, the lord easily conquered the mountains of Anle Mountain, and the remaining mountains fled from the wind, and the lord was mighty all over the world, and his subordinates were beyond their reach!" ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Okay, don't be a sycophant, now let's discuss a strategy to break the enemy!" ”

Zhong Xuan introduced: "The total strength of Zhenrong is about 60,000, and there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses in Poyang and Pengze. Zhenrong is very cunning, and does not fight with us in the field, but occupies the city, strictly defends to the death, and for a while, his subordinates are powerless. ”

After listening to Zhong Xuande's report, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded.

Occupying the city and defending it to the death is the most helpless and undesirable situation for the attackers.

In the face of a city defended by 30,000 soldiers and horses, if you want to take it, you must at least double the manpower.

And even if it can be won, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Siege is the next strategy, and it is also a strategy that Lu Bu is most reluctant to adopt.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no other way to think of if you don't attack the city.

After taking the map and making some observations, Lu Bu couldn't help asking: "Is Pengze County relying on the Yangtze River?" ”

Zhong Xuan nodded, and then immediately said, "Although it is close to the river, it is difficult to get close to the city wall without being noticed by them. ”

Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "What if it's night?" ”

Zhong Xuan said: "If it is night, then the chance of being close to the city wall without being detected will be greatly increased, at least eighty percent of the time. However, even if you get close, it is useless, because it is difficult to transport large siege equipment. ”

Lu Bu smiled and nodded, and asked confidently: "In this way, is the section of the city wall near the Yangtze River in Peng Ze necessarily not as tightly defended as other places?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Xuan said: "It should be like this, in principle, this section of the city wall, they only need to send a few teams of soldiers to keep an eye on the river, and they don't need many people!" ”

After hearing the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay! Then we'll use this as a breakthrough! ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Xuan said: "However, this side is close to the river, how can we transport the large siege equipment over?" ”

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need for large-scale siege equipment, this matter will be handed over to Niu Er and Gan Ning to deal with." ”
