Chapter 2119 small military division
"Your Majesty, I think it's not possible." Dong Zhao bowed and bowed, with a serious expression. "This is a plan to slow down the army. Although Zhu Huan and Lu Yi were young, they were extremely cunning and had a bad ambition, so they must be guarded against."
Lu Bu and Ma Chao snorted at the same time, with a disdainful expression. Then he felt that it was inappropriate to have such a tacit understanding with the other party. He glared at each other, snorted heavily, and at the same time turned his head over, looking inconsistent with an aura.
The emperor glanced at Zhan Shu, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Ziyang, what do you think?"
Liu Ye did not answer immediately, but came out for a while. After everyone looked at him in surprise, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am thinking about where Lu Su should be at this moment. It has been more than half a month since Your Majesty entered Yanzhou, and Sun Ce himself has arrived from Jianye. Why has Lu Su been without news? Is he not worried about Zhu Huan, Lu Yi, or has other intentions?"
The emperor understood what Liu Ye meant. Like Dong Zhao, Liu Ye lost confidence in conquering Dingtao and did not believe that he could defeat the enemy by fighting in the field. In order to achieve perfection, he would rather retreat, but was worried that Lu Bu and Ma Chao would not, so he specifically emphasized Lu Su's abnormal reaction.
There has been no news from Lu Su either believed in Zhu Huan and Lu Yi's strength, thinking that they were not in danger, but it is more likely that he had concealed his whereabouts and had other plans, such as catching their way out. Sun Ce himself rushed from Jianye. Even if Lu Su believed in Zhu Huan and Lu Yi, he should have expressed something, and it would be unusual for him to have no reaction at all.
Since Zhu Huan was able to quickly conquer Dingtao with a giant stone throwing machine, if Lu Su also had a giant stone throwing machine, it would not be impossible for him to attack the city. After all, he was the one who took Hongnong for a long time, and without a giant stone throwing machine. Zhu Huan and Lu Yi dragged them, and Lu Su took the opportunity to cut off their retreat. This was completely possible.
Sure enough, before Liu Ye finished speaking, Lu Bu and Ma Chao's expression had changed, and his aura was weakened by three points. He closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
The emperor sighed secretly. This time he entered Yanzhou, and it was a waste of time. Dingtao was lost, Li Jin was killed, and Changyi was not saved. The only achievement was to cover Dong Zhao and retreat to Zhencheng. Sun Ce was hundreds of miles away and did not show up at all, so he retreated.
"What should I do according to Gong Dong's plan?" The emperor was in a depressed mood and a little unhappy.
Dong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that the emperor was young and energetic, so he insisted on fighting with Zhu Huan in the field. Fighting in the field is naturally better than siege, but there was no advantage, let alone Sun Ce was eyeing him. From the overall perspective, of course, it is safest to retreat first.
"I think Liu Lingjun is extremely worried. Your Majesty and Sun Ce are fighting for the world, not the gains and losses of a city. Since advances are unavailable, you should first guard the retreat path and make a complete plan. It is like bending a bow, drawing a string first, and then emitting arrows, so that you can kill people a hundred steps away. The northern people ride horses, and the southern people drive boats, the more north they go, the more beneficial it is to Your Majesty."
Dong Zhao walked to the map and gave a detailed explanation. Most of the rivers in Yanzhou are east-west, and Zhu Huan relies on water to transport the road, and the journey is far away, which is not convenient, and is far less rapid than the cavalry. If the front line is retreated to Zhencheng and Puyang, it will not only avoid the danger of being cut off by Lu Su, but also receive supply support from the Dongjun family nearby, but also lengthen Zhu Huan's supply transportation line. One is reduced and the other is rising, which is more beneficial to our own side.
More importantly, within more than 200 miles north of Dingtao, only the Pu River can be called a river, and the others are flat places. Once a fighter jet is discovered, the cavalry can fully drive in and give full play to the advantages of the cavalry.
After listening to Dong Zhao's explanation, not only the emperor expressed his deep agreement, but Lu Bu and Ma Chao also felt that this plan was feasible. They had just arrived from Puyang not long ago to understand the terrain here. It was undoubtedly safer to retreat to Puyang to wait for the fighter jets than to go deep into Yuzhou to fight.
"Then let Zhu Huan live a few more days." Lu Bu said hatefully.
"Zhu Huan can give it to you, Lu Yi must leave it to me." Ma Chao clenched his fists. "I must knock down his teeth, pull out his tongue to see if he can still talk nonsense."
"It depends on whether you are fast enough." Lu Bu snorted and left with his sleeves.
Liu Ye gave out a breath quietly, feeling relieved.
Gebi, water pavilion.
"Ginger is still the hottest thing." General Sun Ce threw the newspaper on the desk and chuckled. "One advance and one retreat, the higher and lower levels will appear."
Sun Shangxiang picked up the battle report, read it once, smacked her lips, and felt a little regretful. "Boyan was a little anxious, and his intentions were too obvious."
Sun Ce glanced at Sun Shangxiang and smiled. The emperor took the initiative to retreat, causing Zhu Huan and Lu Yue's plan to be lost. It was not just because the intentions of Zhu and Lu were too obvious, but because they had no determination to attack the city, just to win by surprise. The troops were equal and the armaments were too different. If you calm down, you knew that siege was not feasible.
As for what kind of strange weapons the emperor wanted to use, Sun Ce was not sure, but he could roughly guess it. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, there were only a few ways. The emperor could use cavalry now, including the flying general Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and 10,000 and Liang Jingqi, and there was still a chance to try it out.
Sun Ce waved and called Sun Shangxiang in front of him. Sun Shangxiang jumped gently and sat on Sun Ce's lap. Sun Ce held her waist and pinched her nose. "If you were the emperor, what would you do to fight?"
"I..." Sun Shangxiang tilted her head and began to ponder.
Xu Jie stepped forward, bowed and blushed, his face slightly red. "King, the third general, gentlemen should be careful in their words and actions."
Sun Ce laughed and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Go down quickly, your military advisor is going to give advice."
"Old Master!" Sun Shangxiang curled her lips, but still jumped down obediently. She was the 12th year of the year and the 13th year of the Chinese New Year. According to the convention, she could get married and could no longer be as unscrupulous as a child. Moreover, she herself gradually became sensible and knew that there was a difference between men and women. Although she was suspected of Xu Jie's long-lasting and pedantic words, she followed her advice.
"Uh..." Xu Jie licked his lips and said, "Master, what I am talking about is not only different from men and women, but the Master should not be too doting on the three generals too much. Be cautious when speaking to avoid misunderstandings."
Sun Ce was surprised. "I'm wrong, too?"
Xu Jie nodded and said seriously: "The king should not compare with the emperor with the third general. Those who speak are unintentional, and those who listen are intentional. If it is spread, there will even be rumors, which will not only be unfavorable to the third general, but also disturb the king."
Sun Ce laughed silently, but had to admit that Xu Jie's worries were reasonable. This kind of thing was too sensitive, and he always favored Sun Shangxiang, so people were inevitably worried. Women's thoughts were the hardest to guess. The legitimate son was the knot of the Yuan sisters, which caused misunderstandings.
"I'll review, I'll review." Sun Ce said solemnly. Xu Jie was a little embarrassed and blushed and stepped back. Sun Ce signaled her to look at the military newspaper and express her opinions together, as an exercise. Xu Jie responded, picked up the military newspaper, and went to the side to study with Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Ce paced back and forth a few steps, considering the next battle. Emperor, Dong Zhao retreated northward, the war in Yanzhou was not over yet, but the situation was even more complicated. I don’t know if Zhu Huan and Lu Yi could handle it. So far, Zhu Huan and Lu Yi performed well. Although they were a bit tricky, they were still within the controllable range, but the preparation methods were exposed. There was no coincidence in the future. They could only rely on their strength to successfully capture the entire Yanzhou. It depends not only on their abilities, but also on their own.
The opponent is too cunning and on the verge of collapse and atrocity. He may take risks at any time, and this test is not easy at all.
Sun Ce was pondering, Zhen Xiang came to report, and Xun Yu asked for a meeting.
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and after a while he came to his senses and patted his forehead. He only cared about Dingtao's war these two days and completely forgot about Xun Yu. Chen Qun was also busy, and hadn't met for a few days, and he didn't know how his ideological work was. However, the Ruying Group is currently in an awkward situation and lacks a truly qualified spiritual leader. I think Chen Qun will not be passive and lazy.
Sun Ce thought about it and signaled Zhen Xiang to invite Xun Yu in, and asked Xu Jie to prepare tea and listen for a while. When he heard Xun Yu's name, Xu Jie's eyes lit up, but he was not good to ask for it on his own initiative. After hearing Sun Ce's words, he was right in his mind, put down the military newspaper and went.
"Have you finished reading it?" Sun Ce asked.
"Return to the king, I've finished watching it." Xu Jie responded with a pretty voice, revealing a rare joy. Sun Ce couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head. After all, he was a little girl. Although he looked steady and generous, he could not control the girl's heart when he met his idol.
Under the intentional or unintentional publicity of the Ruying Group, the four words "Liu Xiang Ling Jun" have become a legend. However, the legend is like soap bubbles, which looks very dreamy, and it is just a few drops of water when it is broken. As for whether it is sewage or tears, it varies from person to person. Sun Shangxiang is not interested in Xun Yu, and always feels that it is difficult to bear the reputation of him.
After a while, the sound of the stairs sounded, and Xun Yu slowly walked up. He lowered his head and bowed his hands. His beard was trimmed neatly, his hair was pressed meticulously in the crown. He was wearing a new robe, which was much more energetic than last time, but there were a few more white hair on his temples, which looked a little vicissitudes. He stood at the entrance of the stairs, adjusted his breathing, and gave a deep gift.
"Xun Yu of Yingchuan, I have met the King of Wu."
Sun Ce's eyes flashed slightly, and he reached out to help him. "Have you been doing well in the past few days? Where have you been?"
Xun Yu bowed again. "I walked around Gepi and went to Pingyu to visit the King's Mansion and a few old friends. Some friends rushed over and had a drink and talked about their farewell."
Sun Ce nodded and asked Xun Yu to take his seat. Before Xun Yu left Henan, Xin Pi sent back the news. Now more than half a month has passed. I am afraid that half of the people in Yuzhou will know about it, and there will be no fewer people coming to see him.
Sun Ce was sitting at the main seat. Xu Jie came up with tea, glanced at Xun Yu, and smiled with a pursed lips. When he came to Sun Ce to serve tea, Sun Ce looked at her, smiling, his lips twitched, but he didn't make a sound. "How?"
