Chapter 875: Division of Troops
The battlefield of Gangneung once again attracted the attention of the people of the world, and the scouts of the major princes' forces and spies once again rushed to Gangneung County.
At this time, Lu Bu also waited for reinforcements, and the army of 60,000 went south from Sizhou, so that the army under the command of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, once again reached 130,000.
In addition to the 30,000 army guarding Xiangyang City, at this moment, the army under Lu Bu's command once again recovered to 100,000, and the 100,000 army was the maximum amount that Lu Bu commanded.
Once this number is exceeded, there will inevitably be a phenomenon of not being able to command, and it is precisely because of this that Lu Bu will only bring 100,000 troops every time he sends troops.
He is not Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and the generals ask for more and the better. In order to win the war, Lu Bu led the most elite army every time.
Lu Bu worships Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, the two of them are the first in the world in terms of force, and the way of using troops is also quite similar, and they both follow the path of the brave fighting faction.
β¦β¦
Yicheng.
LΓΌ Bu led the army south, passed through Zhonglu, and went down to Yicheng, due to the southward movement of Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou, the counties along the way opened the city and surrendered.
In the county government, Lu Bugao sat on the top, his face became ugly, and he was gloomy as if he was about to drip water. Just when he first arrived, he got specific news that there were now 200,000 troops gathered in Gangneung.
Although these are all new troops, when the quantity reaches a point, it is enough to change the quality, which makes Lu Bu, who is ambitious and attacked Xiangyang City, a little depressed in his heart.
He did not have the confidence to defeat the 200,000 army of Gangneung with an army of 100,000, especially since the 200,000 army was not all, and there was still a steady stream of new troops heading north.
β¦β¦
"Wenhe, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's performance is too incredible, once this king continues to go south, he will definitely fall into this quagmire and exhaust the army under his command."
"Liu Biao is planning to make up for quality with quantity, and he plans to use this 200,000 army to bury this king here."
β¦β¦
Hearing Lu Bu pour bitter water, Jia Xu's eyes also narrowed slightly, as a poisoner in a chaotic country, he has always been the one who comes to yin others, when it is the turn of others to press step by step.
The thought flickered in his heart for a while, Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu, and said: "Lord, the minister thinks that we can plan the plan, so I will divide the troops in Yicheng, and the troops will be led by General Wei Xu, and the troops will go to Jiangling under the banner of the lord."
"After arriving at the battlefield of Jiangling, there is no need to have a war with the other party, only the banner of the Lord is far away to attract the attraction of Huang Zu and others."
At this moment, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent and looked at Lu Bu word by word, and said.
"At the same time, under the banner of General Wei Xu, the lord went out at night and day to go from Yicheng to Yunguo and directly entered Jiangxia County."
"Mobilize 30,000 troops in Jiangxia County, combine 80,000 troops, and break them into zero, and also gather in Xiajun County at night and day and night."
"As long as our army gathers in Xiajun before the battle on the battlefield of Jiangling, we can surprise Linxiang with the momentum of thunder, and with the momentum of the lord, plus the 80,000 army, we can naturally fight down."
Jia Xu knew in his heart that looking at the posture of Mu Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the new army of Jingzhou in the Jiangling battlefield would reach about 300,000.
β¦β¦
"Whew."
β¦β¦
Exhaling deeply, Lu Bu's face changed slightly, and he naturally understood the ruthlessness of Jia Xu's plan in an instant.
This is to let him learn from Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to use Wei Xu and the 50,000 army as bait, so as to cover himself calmly to go south to Changsha County and complete the earth-shattering blow.
The thoughts in his heart flickered, and Lu Bu deduced all this Jia Xu said in his heart, thinking about how much chance he would have in this way.
"Wenhe, if you divide your forces and attack, how sure are you?"
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with light, if the chance of success was high, he didn't mind using the 50,000 army and Wei Xu as bait, and then rushing thousands of miles to attack Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao in Changsha County.
Hearing this, Jia Xu's eyes opened, and he paused word by word: "Lord, now Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao has gathered two or three hundred thousand troops in order to drag the lord to death on the battlefield in Jiangling."
"This means that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao will continue to gather the new army in Jiangling, thus ignoring the protection of Linxiang, if the minister's guess is not bad, I am afraid that Linxiang only has 50,000 elite divisions under the command of Jingzhou Mu."
β¦β¦
Although Jia Xu did not finish his words, Lu Bu had already heard the meaning of the words, and with 80,000 troops of 100 battles and 100 victories, he rushed thousands of miles to attack Jingzhou Mu's 50,000 army.
Originally, the victory was in hand, and he personally led the army with the respect of King Zhao, which would naturally increase the number of victories and defeats by two points.
"Whew."
β¦β¦
With a deep breath, Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and then he made a decision in his heart. Compared to leading an army of 100,000 to the south of Gangneung, he was entangled to death by an army of 200,000.
Undoubtedly, this is the way to win, the hope of victory is greater, and Lu Bu can go through these things and still become one of the princes, so he naturally knows the priorities.
"In Wenhe's words, this king is Bo, I hope God will be on the side of this king."
Seeing that Lu Bu had made a decision, Jia Xu's eyes rolled, flashed, and said.
"Lord, find someone from the army who is about the same size as you, wear the lord's armor, attract the attention of the princes of the world on the battlefield of Jiangling, and rush south to Linxiang to drag Huang Zu and others to buy time."
"At the same time, this time to the south, the lord should wear the armor of ordinary soldiers, and General Song Xian will lead the troops south, and the lord will hide in it, confusing people's eyes."
Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a fierce color, his eyes were like torches, staring at Jia Xu deadly, and said.
"What does Wenhe mean by striking the east and the west, and confusing the real with the false?"
β¦β¦
"Hmm."
Nodding, Jia Xu's expression became solemn, he looked at Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and said: "Lord, Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy: planning profit is to listen, but it is the momentum, to support it."
"The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. β
β¦β¦
"This time is our only chance, and only by dividing it and attacking it and doing this trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, can there be a little possibility."
β¦β¦
When he said this, Jia Xu felt a heavy heart, and he knew in his heart that this was the end of being inferior. If it was Qin Hou Yingfei going south at this moment, there would be no need for this at all, only to send troops to push sideways.
All the way south, rampage south with absolute superiority, destroying all the advantages of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
It's just that although King Lu Bu of Zhao is expensive in King Zhao, he does not have the momentum of Marquis Qin Yingfei, and in the face of a scoundrel style like Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, he can only choose to use a strategy.
"Wei continued."
"My lord."
Glancing at Wei Xu and Lu Bu, he said, "You will lead an army of 50,000 to Jiangling to confront Huang Zu, and you will not fight until you have to."
"No."
After taking a deep look at Wei Xu, Lu Bu advised, "This king will find a stand-in to sit in charge, you only need to make a copy of the king's posture all the time, and buy time for this king's army to go south."
