Zhao Yu's letter not only gave Lu Xun a glimmer of hope, but also a surprise.This surprise naturally came from the newcomer Xu Shu, who was in Xuzhou for a period of time that day, Lu Xun praised this person, and his every word had great knowledge.His point of view of things is also different from that of ordinary people, and Lu Xun knows that this person has a very high talent, otherwise he would not have such a special point of view.After reading Zhao Yu's letter, Lu Xun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly opened Xu Shu's letter, only to see that it said: To Yuanzhi's former friend, this time I am fortunate to be ordered by the lord to lead the army to attack the traitors of the Han Dynasty, but Yanzhou is an important place for the enemy, and our army alone cannot easily break it, and now we need two soldiers and horses from Xuzhou and Qingzhou to assist in the attack.It is hoped that with the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Xuzhou attacking the border cities and counties of Yanzhou with a slow momentum, once they encounter a strong counterattack, they must retreat, and there will be no major conflicts, and the premise is to preserve the troops.Xu Shu is grateful here, and will fight to win Yanzhou and repay you for your hard work."
Strategist, what's the important matter if the lord sends a letter?"
Seeing Lu Xun's surprised expression, Yan Liang on the side couldn't bear it anymore.Staying in Xuzhou for several months, there was nothing to do all day, except for military training, Yan Liang was so anxious that he almost had lice all over his body.This time, the lord sent a secret letter from Jizhou, and the newly appointed Xu Shu also sent a secret letter, this time Yan Liang couldn't sit still, as a martial artist, he already smelled the smell of war.So this time, without waiting for Lu Xun to send someone to invite him to come, Yan Liang took a step ahead to find him.Seeing Yan Liang's excited expression, how could Lu Xun not understand his desire for war, and said immediately: "General Yan Liang, you came just in time, I received two secret letters today.One was from the lord, who ordered an attack on Cao Cao's Yanzhou and asked Xuzhou to send an army to assist the army in attacking Yanzhou.The other is a letter from Xu Shu, the marching division of the main force of the army, who asked us Xuzhou, 10,000 soldiers and horses, to attack Yanzhou as the vanguard. ”"The lord is finally going to make a move, Yan Mou can't bear it anymore, although he can only send 10,000 troops this time, but I also want to let that Cao Jun taste my Yan Liang's power."
As soon as Yan Liang finished speaking, he suddenly recalled that Lu Xun said just now that Xu Shu asked for 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou to be the main vanguard to launch an attack on Yanzhou, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked Lu Xun rhetorically: "Military advisor, is this Xu Shu not fighting, or doesn't know Cao Cao's strength."
Yanzhou is the important place of Cao's army, a few have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the first battle of the two sides is particularly important, this guy actually let us Xuzhou 10,000 soldiers and horses as the main force, this difference is too big, it must be impossible to win, once defeated, then our soldiers are lost, and the morale of the enemy is greatly increased.No, I'm going to write to my lord and ask for a replacement. ”Lu Xun looked at Yan Liang's excited abnormal behavior, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Hehe, General Yan Liang's worries, Lu Xun has also considered it, but this Xu Shu doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't understand the art of war."
On the contrary, this Xu Shu is precisely because he cares too much about the victory of this big battle, so he will be cautious.Before we could figure out the strength of the enemy army in Yanzhou, we first sent 10,000 horses and horses from Xuzhou to lure the enemy army into battle. ”Hearing Lu Xun's explanation, Yan Liang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, according to what you say, it seems so."
Although I am a good and coarse person, I only know martial arts, and I am not good at the art of war.But I also know a little bit about the skin, the art of war, and I know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, which seems to be exactly the truth. ”"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, although this seems to be the easiest truth to understand in the art of war, is so difficult.In order to truly know oneself and the enemy, it is necessary not only to find out the weather, terrain, and the enemy's reserve savings, but also to know the enemy's number, troops, and combat habits, and also to find out the enemy's general's personality and combat methods of leading the troops, and more importantly, to be familiar with the enemy's tactics and tactics.The lack of these four things cannot be called knowing oneself and the other, especially those who are capable, as strategists in the rear to direct all the movements of the army, the slightest carelessness will end up like a chessboard and lose the whole game.And when we observe the enemy, the enemy is also observing and groping for our clues, here in addition to groping for the enemy's intelligence, but also beware of the enemy's grasp of our situation, every military order is a step of life and death, who is the hunter and who is the fox depends on who falls into the trap first. ”After Lu Xun muttered to himself, he stared at Yan Liang and found that Yan Liang had already been fascinated by it.As a military general and reckless temperament, Yan Liang has always liked the army to go straight to kill things, and never looked at those literati and strategists.In Yan Liang's heart, those guys who can only dance with pen and ink are like ants, stepping on them at will.After hearing Lu Xun's words this time, Yan Liang's heart was inexplicably shocked, and at that moment, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel that the way of the art of war was so charming.He only holds the names of soldiers in his hands when he leads the army into the enemy group, but those strategists who are not feared in his eyes are in the hands of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of troops in the life and death of their fingers.Suddenly, Yan Liang bent down and bowed to the scribe Lu Xun in front of him, who was younger than him and weaker than himself, and said, "Yan Liang has a wish, and I hope that the military advisor can agree." ”Facing Yan Liang's gift, Lu Xun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said: "What is the general doing, how can Lu Xun accept this gift, hurry up, don't bother me again." ”"No, if the military advisor doesn't agree, then Yan Liang won't get up."
I don't know why Yan Liang was suddenly so determined, allowing Lu Xun to support his arms without a trace of movement.Seeing that Yan Liang was so stubborn, Lu Xun also knew that he couldn't compare to the other party's strength, so he had to stop and say: "If the general has something, just say it, as long as Lu Xun can do it, he will never postpone it." ”I saw Yan Liang's eyes blooming, his fists clenched, and his muscles trembled: "Yan Liang implores the military advisor to teach me the art of war, Yan Liang doesn't want to be just a brave and brainless reckless man, Yan Liang wants to learn the way of both civil and military, and be a commander to conquer the Quartet for the main public and dominate the world." ”When Lu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be infected by it, and he clasped his fists at Yan Liang and said: "Okay, it is worthy of being the lord's favorite general, if the lord can know that General Yan Liang has this heart, he will definitely feel comforted."
Since this is the case, then Lu Xun had the courage to teach General Yan the art of war in his spare time, and hoped that Lu Xun's talent would not condescend to the majesty of General Yan Liang.When the performance was played, Lu Xun was willing to work side by side with General Yan to become a vanguard army under the command of the lord, fighting for our lord in all directions and dominating the world. ”"Okay."
Yan Liang immediately said with joy.When the two got along, they couldn't help but start thinking about Xu Shu's military order.In fact, Lu Xun had vaguely guessed that Xu Shu's way of arranging the art of war this time, the division of troops into three roads was actually to disperse the strength of the Cao army in Yanzhou, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were used as a vanguard army, not necessarily just as bait.It is not difficult to be a bait, Lu Xun is just thinking about whether he can make other new achievements while playing the bait and bring more opportunities for the final battle of the army."
General Yan Liang, when the lord returned to Jizhou that day, he sent 10,000 elite soldiers from Jizhou to Xuzhou.Today, Xuzhou participated in the battle against Yanzhou, and we must use elite soldiers, but we also need to strictly prevent someone from attacking Xuzhou's idea when we send troops this time.So this time we sent 5,000 elite Jizhou soldiers, and the rest used Xuzhou's local soldiers and horses, and the two added up to exactly 10,000 soldiers and horses, I don't know what the general meant. ”Since he didn't know much about Yanzhou, Lu Xun still planned to dispatch troops, horses, grain and grass first, and wait until the army approached Yanzhou City, find out the enemy's movements, and it was not too late to try to set up a formation.Regarding Lu Xun's suggestion, Yan Liang had no objection, and supported the foreign commander to express his direct opinion: "The words of the military advisor are quite reasonable, this time the troops will be sent with 5,000 elite soldiers in Jizhou and 5,000 local soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.When the two of us led the troops to the battle, all the Xuzhou generals must close all the city gates and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.As for the power of Xuzhou, it is temporarily held by the pottery merchant, Tao Ying and the girl Mengying. ”"Well, that's what General Yan Liang said."
Lu Xun came to the guard outside the door after his voice and said: "Send someone to invite the Tao brothers and Miss Mengying to come, and say that I have something important to meet." ”Hearing that it was Lu Xun's invitation, the Tao brothers and Mengying arrived as soon as possible, and as soon as the three of them saw Lu Xun and Yan Liang, they stepped forward to salute, but Lu Xun took the lead and said: "There is no one else this time, you don't have to be polite." ”Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Lu Xun spoke again: "Today, the lord sent a secret letter from Jizhou, Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven moved the capital to Xiliang, Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to attack the land of Cao soldiers in Jingzhou, and Liu Bei secretly plotted Yizhou.This is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, so the lord sent a large army to prepare for war against Yanzhou, and asked me to lead an army from Xuzhou to assist. ”As soon as they heard that the lord Zhao Yu was preparing to use force against Cao Cao, the three of them couldn't hide their excitement.The pottery merchant was even more excited: "The power of the lord is four, the sea knows that this time the lord ordered the army to attack Yanzhou, which will definitely make the horse of the Cao thief in Yanzhou scared and win the battle." ”Facing the excitement of the pottery merchants, Lu Xun smiled slightly: "Yanzhou is the fundamental place of Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's henchmen Xiahoudun and important minister Cheng Yu in charge, and there are also elite tiger and leopard cavalry and Qingzhou soldiers, which are not easy to obtain. ”Lu Xun's words couldn't help but surprise the three of them, the prestige of the one-eyed Xiahoudun, they hadn't heard of it, this person can be called the first fierce general of the Cao army, brave and fearless in battle, and has been in the military for a long time.And he is simple, all the rewards are never left behind, and all the rewards are given to the soldiers under his command, so the soldiers under his command are loyal to him, and it can be said that he has always been a tiger and wolf soldier.Moreover, Xiahoudun was deeply used and trusted by Cao Cao, and was the only one who could be in the same car with Cao Cao and could freely enter and leave Cao Cao's bedroom without passing through the communication.To say that the only flaw of this person is that he has a strong personality, pays attention to appearance, and has always been obsessed with his blindness
