The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 Unprepared
[Congratulations to the host, you have won the famous Northern Song Dynasty general Zhang Yu, and the remaining reputation is 105 points! 】

[Because the host summoned Zhang Yu, Wuzang Yupang came to Li Jiqian's forces, Yelu Sha came to Yelu Abaoji's forces, Wanyan Sheng came to Wanyan Aguda's forces, Bo'er Jijin Mengge came to Boer Jijin Temujin's forces please Attention host! 】

When Lu Heng heard that it was Zhang Yu who was drawn, he couldn't help laughing. After that, there were two "Zhang Yu" under his command, with exactly the same pronunciation, and he had some troubles when giving orders. The advisors in the army are already comparable to Cao Cao in his heyday.

In fact, what Lu Heng wanted most was Wang Teng, the city defender. With the expansion of his territory, he was already bordering on the territory of Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao. Now his center of gravity was in the north and he had almost no time to take care of the south.

If another defensive master like Wang Teng is summoned, Lu Heng wants to place Wang Tin in Chai Sang to guard against Sun Ce. While releasing Zhuge Jin, he can also prevent Sun Ce from attacking at all times.

Lu Heng was still very afraid of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Fang La's team, especially now that the main force had been transferred to the northern front, and the southern defense system was actually relatively empty.

Especially when Sun Ce has formed a navy, it is necessary to keep a navy in the Yangtze River to ensure Moling and other places. If Sun Ce ignores it and uses the navy to attack Moling from the Yangtze River, it will be very troublesome.

Don't think about these small disadvantages, first let Jin Yiwei find Zhang Yu, order Jin Yiwei to concentrate on finding Zhang Yu, and then record the list of old enemies.

With 105 reputation points in hand, he hesitated whether to continue to summon Lu Heng. He felt that he had enough manpower at the moment.

Although designated summoning can only summon special characters, it is still very useful in certain circumstances, and it may even be life-saving, so Lu Heng temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​continuing summoning.

After obtaining Xiapi County, it was only a beginning and a small goal was completed. It eliminated Cao Cao's largest garrison in Xuzhou, as well as Chen Deng in Guangling County, Taishan Army in Taishan County, Chen Yu in Xihai, Changxi in Donghai County, etc. The branch forces are in Xuzhou.

Zhang Liao in Runan has already confronted Cao Ren, and the feint attack is the least intense. There is no need to worry about the presence of Yang Yanzhao’s East Route Army in Guangling County. Let Zhao Yun lead Dong Xi to take down Pengcheng and Xiaopei first, and Lu Heng is going to stay. Xia Du Gao guarded Xiapi, led his own troops to continue northward, and confronted Zang Ba and others to take Donghai County, Langya State, Taishan County, Lu State and other places controlled by the Taishan Army.

But it didn't take long for Jinyiwei to send news that Yuan Tan from Qingzhou sent troops south to the hinterland of Taishan County to fight the Taishan Army, and Changxi from Donghai County rebelled and announced to join Yuan Tan, which made Lu Heng's military plan to continue sending troops instantly ruined.

Lu Heng didn't know what was wrong with Yuan Tan. Zang Ba didn't come to take the initiative to beat him, it was good, but he even took the initiative to provoke Zang Ba!
You must know that Zang Ba in the original time and space was the one who beat Yuan Tan all over the place, but Lu Heng suddenly thought that Tian Feng and Ju Yi might have given Yuan Tan the confidence to ask Jin Yiwei to investigate the intelligence of Yuan Tan's army first. Facing Yuan Shao, maybe they will start a war in the future.

That's right, Lu Heng believes that it is definitely not a wise choice to fight Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at the same time!It is likely to turn into a truce between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and then concentrate on dealing with me, Lu first.

Under such a change, Lu Heng immediately called all the counselors to discuss the next move.

Including Yu Yunwen, Ding Wei, Li Zhu, Chen Gong, Du Gao and others had the same opinion and believed that they could not go to war with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, but they were divided into two factions on how to act.

Yu Yunwen and Chen Gong believed that Xuzhou should be captured first, and while Cao Cao was still confronting Yuan Shao, they would continue westward to capture Yanzhou and Yuzhou as soon as possible, encroaching on Cao Cao's territory and expanding their own strength.

The reason is very simple. After taking down Sheyang and going west to attack Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there is only one problem, Dingtao, and the others are Yimapingchuan. The top number, and the geographically critical area, is not considered an important throat, and there are several routes that can bypass Dingtao.

What's more, Cao Cao's main force is now confronting Yuan Shao, and the only remaining military force is Cao Ren in Runan who is still confronting Zhang Liao, with almost no defense.

However, Du Gao, Li Zhu, and Ding Wei believed that after taking Xuzhou, they would temporarily hold their troops and wait for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to decide the victory. Yuan Shao would send troops to annex Cao Cao's territory as much as possible and then confront Yuan Shao if Cao Cao won. Tedao and Cao Cao competed for the territory of Hebei.

The reason is that after taking Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou have no defense, and there is no difference between sooner or later, but the timing of sending troops is very important. Before the winner is determined, Cao Cao's wool will be killed. Cao Cao is not allowed to make any big moves today.

Lu Heng analyzed that the next two choices lead to the same goal by different routes. The two choices are to consolidate Xuzhou's victory first. The first of the two strategies is that Yu Yunwen and Chen Gong are very radical. They both think that Yuan Shao has a better chance of winning than Cao Cao. Take Cao Cao's territory and fight Yuan Shao.

The second strategy, Ding Wei, Li Zhu, and Chen Gong, is to seek stability, thinking that after consolidating their strength, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they must first encroach on the other side's territory, instead of fighting with Lu Heng to restore the other party's strength, then the tiger's mouth will seize food. The next game is to fight the winner.

Lu Heng has the memory of later generations, knowing that Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu in the end, and then took no less than ten years to annex the entire Hebei Province occupied by the Yuan family. In fact, looking at the entire Battle of Guandu historically, Xuzhou was to Cao Cao It's not that important.

In other words, according to Lu Heng's analysis, even if he wins Xuzhou, Cao Cao has a greater chance of winning the Guandu battle!Even if Yuan Shao has an extra Lu Junyi!

So it seems that the second strategy is stable, strengthening himself step by step, in fact, he is also strengthening Cao Cao, and then confronting Cao Cao in the final confrontation, Lu Heng is not so sure about a stronger Cao Cao.

According to the analysis, Lu Heng thought of another possibility, that is, as Ding said, they waited for Cao Cao to win the battle of Guandu, and he was taking advantage of the fisherman to destroy Cao Cao.

In this way, the benefits can be maximized. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at the last moment, and his own remaining troops were not much left, and there was not much food and grass left. Annihilate them in one fell swoop when they are weak, and at the same time use Cao Cao to consume Yuan Shao's elite main force.
