Lu Su glanced at the information in Jiang Zhuo's hand, the Qiao Rui army had 8,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, 20,000 people who could become militia at any time, and 20,000 or 30,000 attached players.

The enemy's forces are far superior to his own, and defending the city is indeed the most reasonable approach, but Lu Su still has other ideas.

He is a native of Dongcheng, Xuzhou, and is very familiar with Xiaopei, Jiujiang County and other Jianghuai areas near Dongcheng County. This battle does not necessarily need to be hidden, and it can also take the initiative to attack, but this is a great consideration of the ability of the coach, after all, the soldiers and horses under his command Lu Su are said to be a rabble.

Now the soldiers and horses under his command can only fight with the wind, and if there is a slight setback, they may run out.

However, if you take the initiative to attack, the two thousand elite-level cavalry of the Bridge Rui Army will be a big problem. Peiguo is also in the plains, and the threat of cavalry is great.

The 3,000 cavalry players defeated the 100,000 players of the [Great Qin Empire] in Hongnong County, and the strength of the cavalry can be seen.

"My lord, I heard that you captured 11 hundred-stone ships earlier, and at the same time, there are more than ninety hundred-stone merchant ships in Longkang County under the command of Uncle Liu Huang, I wonder if these ships can be transferred to us?"

Lu Su bent down slightly and asked, as soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Zhuo understood that he wanted to take the initiative.

This is risky, but it pays off quickly. Time is money in times of activity. If he could take the initiative to deal with the Qiao Rui army, Jiang Zhuo would not have to stay in the county guard for a few days.

"Those merchant ships are still being recruited, and they will be at my disposal as our grain fleet." Jiang Zhuo nodded, "As for the 11 hundred-stone ships captured before, 48 shipwrecks (28 shipwrecks were obtained after salvaging the sunken ships) and 39 ferries (the fireships sunk by the three giants), except for the 3 hundred-stone warships that were greatly damaged and were towed to Ganning for repair, they are all still wandering on the Huai River. ”

"In this way, we can bring the bridge army here."

Lu Su pointed to a place on the map, and Jiang Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up. Sure enough, Lu Su was not only talented in diplomacy, otherwise it would not have been possible in history to take over as the governor of Jiangdong after Zhou Yu's death, leaving allusions such as going to the meeting with a single knife and even horizontal and vertical.

Going to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms alone was done by Guan Yu, but in fact, it was done by Lu Su in order to prevent Guan Yu from crossing the river to attack Sun Wu.

"Just listen to what the long history says."

Lu Su does not have an official status now, but he is only the biggest one in Jiang Zhuo's staff. And Zhang Zhao has become independent and has become a county prince.

......

Yuan Shu's seven-way cavalry army is said to be only 70,000 troops, but in fact, with the men who escort grain and grass materials and the auxiliary soldiers who take care of the horses, there are 200,000 troops.

It's just that the game official never counts the people and auxiliaries into the regular army, which is a back door for the player's gang. If you live on the territory of a powerful prince, and the prince does not allow the player gang to raise troops, you can still raise troops, in the name of a civilian or auxiliary.

At this time, Yuan Shu's seven-way army had just finished swearing under the capital of Shouchun, and after leaving the boundary of Shouchun, they began to divide their troops and set off on their own paths.

The marching route of the Qiaorui army was generally to go downstream along the Huai River and cross the river at the Maqiuju Ferry in Dangtu County. This place is not far from the place where Jiang Zhuo fought with the Big Three a few hours ago, and this is where the trouble lies.

Jiang Zhuo led a hundred merchant ships, and even defeated two warship fleets one after another, and the water battle was strong.

Therefore, during the march, Qiao Rui was asking for advice with Lu Fan, a strategist sent by Yuan Shu.

Lu Fan, the later founding father of Sun Wu, was a former general, a fake festival, a pastor of Yangzhou, and a marquis of Nanchang in history, and was very talented.

In the early days of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was Yuan Shu's advisor, and later during Sun Ce's attack on Lujiang, Lü Fan followed him. In his previous life, at this time, Lu Fan was already Sun Ce's person, and he also won the credit for rescuing Sun Ce's family.

But in this life, because Zhang Zhao had followed Jiang Zhuo a long time ago, he did not become Sun Ce's long history, and he did not introduce some young heroes to him, so Lu Fan was still in Yuan Shu's army.

"Mr. Lu, according to the report of Tanma, Hanjiang Dujiu has recruited Lu Su's 7,000 troops from the boundary of Yuzhang County to Xiang County of Peiguo County, which is less than eighty miles away from the Huai River.

A few hours ago, Han Jiang won two water battles on the Huai River with a weak victory over the strong, and I was worried that he would deploy troops and horses on the other side of the river to cooperate with the naval army so that we could not cross the river. ”

Qiao Rui's tone was very respectful, and under Yuan Shu's command, Lu Fan had already shown his intelligence. Before he was sent to Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun's side, he helped Liu Xun take two counties from Lu Kang, and he was very resourceful.

Lu Fan looked like a cynical son, and shook his head very indifferently, "General Qiao thinks that Hanjiang is stronger and weaker than us?" ”

"Of course we're stronger!" Qiao Rui replied without hesitation.

But Lu Fan shook his head again, "No, five or five." In terms of strength alone, we are indeed stronger, and the people are with us.

However, Lu Su is a native of Dongcheng, and he is very familiar with every grass and tree in Peiguo County, and they have the support of a fleet and can come and go like the wind. The people and strangers of Peiguo County also admire Liu Bei's benevolence, and they should not help us guide the way, so the location is on their side.

The next words are only the time of day, and General Qiao thinks that the time of day is in my enemy? ”

Qiao Rui's face suddenly became solemn when he heard this, the drought began to appear, although Peiguo County also had an impact, but their troops were very small, so they couldn't even fight. However, on Yuan Shu's side, the recklessness of the army has reached the extreme, and if the drought continues, they may be defeated before they can fight.

However, Lu Fan's face was still relaxed, "But Hanjiang is the male lord alone, and he shouldn't run around like a mouse." Defending the city or leading us into a Jedi defeat is the most likely course of action for Hanjiang to take alone. ”

Qiao Rui nodded, feeling that it made sense, "In that case, we can cross the river with confidence?" ”

"That's the inference, but General Hashi still has to be careful."

"Understood."

After Qiao Rui arrived at Maqiuju, he sent a large number of scouts to cross the river, and he did not see the beacon smoke for half an hour, so he ordered the cavalry to cross the river first, and finally 30,000 soldiers and horses crossed the Huai River without hindrance.

It's just that after they crossed the river, a huge fleet suddenly drove on the Huai River. Escorted by hundreds of ferries and boats, 20 100-stone boats drove to Machuju and directly attacked the large number of ferries, burning the Machuju ferry.

The Qiaorui army suddenly had no way to retreat, the Huai River was too wide, there was no way to build a pontoon bridge, and if you wanted to cross the river, you could only rely on boats.

Lu Fan's expression only changed at this time, "General Qiao should be careful, Hanjiang will take the initiative to attack." ”

"Huh? Why is that? After cutting off our logistical supply, shouldn't we hold on to the city and wait for us to run out of food? "Qiao Rui doesn't believe in authenticity.
