To some extent, Xu Shu's rhetoric actually defeated more enemies...

Lu Bu was not angry either. After all, he only needed 100 people to defeat Yuan Jun's headquarters.Unfortunately, depending on the situation, Yuan Shu should not be in the army.

"Fight? Or surrender?" Lu Bu came in front of the enemy general. He didn't know the name of the enemy general, and he didn't want to know.There was no need to know the names of the trembling enemy generals in front of him.

I remember that Zhang Fei once boasted that when he was attacking Yuan Shao, a soldier under the command of a general dared to fight them when everyone else was collapsed.Even when the general was captured, he could still insist that he would rather die than surrender.

Looking at the two generals in front of him again, their faces were full of contempt.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words, Zhang Xun and Mei Cheng got off their horses and accepted surrender without saying a word, without any integrity.It's useless to ask for that. After being killed, there is really nothing.Surrender now, maybe you will have a chance to get back your integrity in the future.

Tens of thousands of people, after deducting one or two thousand casualties, have gathered three or five thousand back one after another.There are still a few thousand scattered around. If you are lucky, you may go home by yourself and be a commoner from now on.It is even possible to gather a crowd to occupy the mountain and become king, or become a bandit.

But this is not an issue that Lu Bu needs to consider, and it will be handed over to the armed police to deal with it later.

"Where are Yu Jin and Xiahou Yuan's men?" After three days in Xiyang, Lu Bu waited for the report from the north.During this period, he had almost found out where Yuan Shu was.

"It will arrive in two days, and the northern part has almost been recovered, leaving only three or four counties in the south." The envoy replied.

"How many soldiers and horses can I send to go south with me?" Lu Bu asked, and this was also a question he sent someone to ask.

"About one thousand." The envoy replied, "Runan is too big!"

It is indeed big enough. Other counties have jurisdiction over at least seven or eight counties to a maximum of 21 counties.Only Runan and Nanyang, the former has 37 counties under its jurisdiction, and the latter has 36 counties under its jurisdiction, which are considered to be the two counties with the most counties in the Han Dynasty.

If you disperse the troops to guard various places, even if it is only to guard the key points, there are not many troops that can be vacated.Also be careful if Jiangxia or Liu Biao's department in Nanjun will kill them.

Although judging from the current situation, Liu Biao's offensive is very perfunctory, and it can even be said to be passive resistance.Seeing that Sun Jian and Zhang Chao were captured, Liu Biao's performance was even more negative.

Some people in the army even suspected that this guy had no intention of resisting, but planned to use Nanjun, Jiangling and Jiangxia counties as bargaining chips to see what kind of preferential conditions he could get by surrendering.

"How to fight 3000 people?" Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied. According to the information obtained through torture, Yuan Shu still had more than 3 people.

It's not in Runan County, but in Lujiang County.According to Zhang Xun, in a few days, if there is no news from them, it is estimated that they will have to cross the south of the Yangtze River.

Yuan Shu also felt that Jiangbei had no future, and planned to cross Jiangdong, taking advantage of Sun Ce's failure to stand firm, and beat Jiangdong down.Also used a very special word to describe this move, called 'South hunting'.

He ran away as soon as he ran, and he said it so grandly, Lu Bu expressed his disdain for it.What he wants is to intercept and destroy the opponent before he escapes.

This issue has also been discussed internally. Some generals think that it would be better for Yuan Shu to go south and compete with Sun Ce, and they will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"The nature is different!" Lu Bu shook his head, "Sun Ce's successor to Sun Jian's Luo Wang has not yet become emperor, which means that there is still the possibility of negotiation. But Yuan Shu has become emperor, so he has become the target that the big Han must attack. Let him go south, that is also our dereliction of duty!"

If Sun Ce's side is still regarded as the sphere of influence of the big man, then the act of pushing Yuan Shu over is somewhat similar to the practice of shirking responsibility.Besides, Yuan Shu competed with Sun Ce for territory over there, and the casualties were still the common people of Han Dynasty.

Since it is possible to destroy the opponent before it is difficult, why not do it quickly?

"General..." Xu Shu thought for a while, "Since Yuan Shu intends to escape, it is natural to confront Sun Ce. Why don't you contact the other party and ask them to send troops to stop or even arrest Yuan Shu. At the same time, how about asking General Pingdong for help?" ?”

The enemy's enemy is one's friend, and at the same time, you can test Sun Ce's attitude.If he is willing to cooperate, then there will be further talks in the future.It's okay if they don't cooperate, anyway, they will be in bad luck if Yuan Shu passes by.

"That's right, Yuan Zhi, where do you think Yuan Shu will go south?" Lu Bu's previous words were of course just throwing bricks and stones to attract others. His biggest purpose was to know Yuan Shu's southward route.

Judging from the current results, even if he passed immediately, Yuan Shu would go south quickly, so knowing his southward route, he could intercept the opponent more quickly.

"My subordinate paid a little attention before..." Xu Shu immediately took the map and pointed to a place, "Zongyangdu, this place and Niuzhu are both places that military strategists must contend for, and it is also a place that must pass through when traveling from the north to the south. The current is relatively slow, and the distance between the two banks is not very far, so even those who can swim can swim across.”

It is not very dangerous to fall into the water here, and it is very suitable for landing on the beach.At least if he were Yuan Shu, he would choose to go south in these two places.Generally speaking, as long as you keep these two paragraphs, there is no other threat.

After a pause, he added: "However, this is only the most likely outcome... Now that it has entered winter, the water flow has begun to slow down, so there are more places where you can cross the river."

"It doesn't matter. Mark out the most likely ones, and I will use the scroll to check." Lu Bu said immediately.Before the expedition, he had already applied to Liu Tao for some more scrolls.

This thing can be offset by combat merit, and if Yuan Shu is destroyed, the combat merit will come back, so he has nothing to worry about.

At the same time, this is also his way of protecting himself. After all, Liu Tao's younger brothers are all one level lower than him.If he improves too fast, what should he do if he really reaches the point where he can't be sealed?Liu Tao said that he can become a king and build a country in a foreign land, but it all depends on his mood. What if he changes back later, what should he do?

Chapter 618 Yuan Shu's Last Backbone

Yuan Shu was indeed cautious. He sent 5000 people to cross the river from Zongyang, but he himself crossed from the direction of Peng Lize.If it wasn't for covering the fifty miles along the Yangtze River, Lu Bu might not have discovered it.

Before Yuan Shu was about to cross the river, Lu Bu had already led his people southward from Runan quickly, rushing to finally arrive at Zhishu County, Lujiang County, before winter completely entered.

For the past three days, I used the 'Wind Dragon Insight' scroll to observe Yuan Shu's hiding place.Probably no one would have thought that he was actually hiding in Peng Lize Water Village.

This is connected to Yuzhang County. As long as there are enough ships, they can enter Yuzhang County immediately, and attack Chaisang and Pengze counties immediately.With these two counties as our bases, we can almost reach Nanchang in one go.

In this way, Yuan Shu can use Yuzhang County as a base to make further plans.To the west, you can take over the four counties in Jingnan, and to the east, you can attack Danyang.

In fact, Lu Bu also admired Yuan Shu's openness. Runan, Lujiang and Jiujiang didn't want it.Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is fighting alone in the Central Plains, and he is almost surrounded by big men. If he doesn't escape, it will be a dead end.

The problem is that knowing is knowing, and if you can do it, then this awareness is worthy of admiration.

It's just that I can't stop arresting you because of admiration.No way, from the moment Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, basically he and the big man were in an endless situation.If this phenomenon of proclaiming the emperor is not dealt with severely, then any mountain villager will be able to proclaim the emperor in the future.

Therefore, since ancient times, rebellion has been an unforgivable crime, and iron coupons in Danshu are useless.

No, Zhu Yuanzhang likes to play like that. If he wants to kill someone, he first gives a Danshu iron certificate, and then suddenly this person rebels one day, and then he is punished by the nine clans.So some people jokingly said that this iron certificate of Danshu, the gold medal for avoiding death, was the life-threatening talisman in the early Ming Dynasty.

"General, we can catch up, but the others are on the water village. If they are already on board, how can we chase them?" Seeing that Peng Lize was about to arrive, Xu Shu couldn't help but ask.

"Did Sun Ce reply?" Lu Bu asked after being silent for a while.

"It has been replied that it will send people to attack Yuan Shu." Xu Shu responded quickly.It is said that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, but for Sun Ce, it is hard to say whether Yuan Shu is the enemy or the big man is the enemy.

But now in terms of threat level, Sun Ce felt that Yuan Shu was more threatening, so he came forward to attack at the same time.Maybe he can use this as an opportunity to become a minister to the big man. Anyway, Xu Shu has thought about it, but it's hard to say it.

"Leave him to solve the part of crossing the river. Anyway, we did our best." Lu Bu replied, "Besides, if I didn't worry about the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't need to spend this effort at all."

"The follow-up will require the efforts of the Propaganda Department." Xu Shu nodded.Do that, but let the people know why they did that, which requires both Jinyiwei and the Propaganda Department to work together.

Let the people understand that the reason why the big man pursued Yuan Shu was because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor without authorization, which is an act of treason, and the imperial court has zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.In addition, they could sit back and watch Yuan Shu and Sun Ce fight to the death, but they still had to take the initiative to pursue Yuan Shu. The purpose was to prevent the two people from fighting and endangering the local people.

Whether the people in the south of the Yangtze River appreciate it or not is naturally two opinions, but for the people of the older generation, the recognition of the big man is still very high.At least without the Sun family's two or three generations of rule, it is estimated that the people there would not think that they are Luo people.

"It's going to be completely winter in a few days, and it's a big deal if you want to fight at that time..." Lu Bu looked at the weather. The armor that can suffocate people in summer doesn't feel very hot now, and he even feels that he needs to add a sweater.

If it continues, it is estimated that the snow will fall, and there is no way to fight in that weather.But the advantage is also obvious, that is, the Yangtze River is in the dry season, otherwise Yuan Shu would not choose to go south at this time, and it is estimated that he had already started to go south earlier.

Crossing the river at this time is very convenient, and it also means that Yuan Shu can be pursued to the greatest extent.If you can't catch up like this, then it can only be said that this guy's luck is indeed good.

"How to deal with the [-] Yuan army at Zongyang?" Le Jin who came as a reinforcement asked.

"Of course it will be handed over to General Pingdong and the captain of the rebellious school (Zhang Liao)!" Lu Bu replied without thinking. After Zang dominates the tribe, he will come over one after another.

Those who can be used as bait, then these 1 people must be the part of Yuan Jun who is unwilling to follow Yuan Shu to the south.It is estimated that this part will not have any fighting spirit, and a simple battle will almost be able to recruit and surrender.

It took about a day for the army to arrive at Peng Lize. At this time, Yuan Shu had left about 3000 people to form an formation in front, and he was in the water village.You can vaguely see the ship that started sailing south. According to the time, Yuan Shu may have already gone south.
