"exist."

Xu Ding said: "I have accepted your and Lu Xun's suggestions. For this operation, we will mobilize [-] troops to show the Western Merchant Empire the true strength of our Huaxia Kingdom."

"Yes."

With the promised promise, this matter is basically established.

Guo Jia objected to no avail.

Of course, if Guo Jia was here, he would not object.Because the Battle of Hebei was over, Xu Ding and Jia Xu came back with a large army, and they already had enough troops to attack Yangzhou.

"Recruit Lu Xun first, let's have a meeting. Then send troops." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

After the Battle of Qiao County, Xu Ding was very satisfied with Lu Xun.

Since Yangzhou is to be attacked, such a large military operation must listen to Lu Xun's opinion.

a few days later.

Lu Xun came to Pengcheng again.

Attend the meeting.

Inside the living room.

There is a map hanging in front of it, and a huge sand table in front of it.

The people participating in the meeting sat on both sides of the sand table.There are Lu Xun, Huang Zhong, Lu Su, Jia Xu and so on.There are also Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Chen Dao who have just returned from Xiapi.

Xu Ding sat down and said: "Everyone, take a look at the map and sand table, and understand the terrain of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. If you want to attack Yangzhou, where should you attack?"

Lu Xun stood up first, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that the troops should be divided into two groups. All the troops in Pengcheng should be concentrated along the way, pretending to attack Shouchun, and attract most of the enemy's troops. Send troops all the way from Qiaojun, cross Huainan, and attack directly. Shouchun. As long as the speed is fast, you can arrive at the city of Shouchun by surprise. The effect of a rare soldier is better than a heavy one."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded.

Noncommittal.

Lu Su said: "General Lu's strategy has been mentioned with me many times before, and I think it may be feasible. Because the Western Shang Empire mainly guards against us in Xuzhou. It is relatively lax about Qiao County."

"Qiao County only has the strength of one brigade, and the enemy is absolutely fine. This way, the soldiers of Qiao County will be more likely to succeed." Lu Xun continued.

"Yeah, what do you think?" Xu Ding asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "I think this plan is a bit risky."

"Once the enemy finds out, it is easy to surround this so-called surprise army. In enemy territory, we cannot rescue them. As long as we are surrounded, we are doomed to die without a place to die."

Lu Xun said, "Mr. He, this must not be what you said."

"Why?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "Didn't you always advocate the use of surprise soldiers, and you also said that using troops means using danger, and without danger, there is no victory. Why are you worrying now?"

Jia Xu did say this.

Moreover, it was to Lu Xun.

This time he was speechless.

Xu Ding only thought it was funny, but didn't take it seriously, and asked Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, "What do you think?"

"Kong Ming, you compare yourself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, so you should have a good idea to offer?"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, waved his feather fan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I dare not compare myself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi. Since the war with the Western Shang Empire, I feel that what I have learned is not enough. As a result, in Xiapi, facing the enemy two The strength of a brigade is still helpless."

"but."

"Your Majesty wants to counterattack Yangzhou, and I do have a few suggestions."

"Tell me about it." Xu Ding said.

Everyone present looked at Zhuge Liang.

They all want to hear what Zhuge Liang's plan is.

"First of all, I don't agree with General Lu's strategy of taking the risk of marching troops. Because we can't afford losses. Once we suffer heavy losses, Qiaojun will be threatened. The enemy can take advantage of the victory to attack, capture Qiaojun, and then enter Yuyan. The consequences will be very serious. ...Moreover, this plan was planned by General Lu and Zijing as early as a month ago, can you guarantee that you have not leaked the news in advance? Can you guarantee that you have not hidden the secret work of the Western Shang Empire?"

"Once the news leaks out, not only the strange soldiers of Qiao County will be surrounded, but also the army of Pengcheng will be very dangerous."

"Therefore, I still prefer to fight steadily. I will mobilize two divisions from Pengcheng and head to Qiaojun. I will attack at the same time as Pengcheng's army, and press down on Shouchun. Although this kind of attack cannot win quickly, it will definitely not fail. .”

Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Some of the people present looked contemptuous, while others nodded secretly.

Xu Ding thought in his heart: "Zhuge Liang is cautious in using troops after all, and never takes risks."

"Ugh."

Even Zhuge Liang said that, Lu Xun felt hopeless.

He sighed and returned to his seat.

But

He never expected that at this time, Xu Ding would speak out in support of him.

"My opinion is contrary to Kong Ming's. Because this time we attacked Yangzhou, we must win quickly! The sooner we take Shouchun, the safer we will be. If we fight steadily and step by step, it will be protracted and lead to a stalemate. Once the enemy troops are transferred from Jiangdong With a few divisions, even if we want to win, it will be difficult."

"Moreover, the enemy controls the wormhole. He can mobilize a large-scale army from the Western Shang Empire at any time to join the battle."

Speaking of this, Xu Ding took a deep breath: "We really don't have much time. We must win by surprise and regain Shouchun and the counties in Yangzhou. Only in this way can we keep the Central Plains."

Xu Ding considered the overall situation.

Zhuge Liang only saw what was in front of him.From the perspective of war, give advice.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and replied.

"Kong Ming, it's not that I don't know the danger of a surprise soldier, but the overall situation is not in my favor. The battle of Yangzhou must be decided quickly." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang responded.
