Can I get to the other side?

While Cao Cao was gathering his army, he was preparing to attack Wancheng again.

The situation in Yangzhou has also entered a white-hot stage.

Now the whole situation is very unfavorable for Yuan Shu. Although he has no shortage of soldiers and horses under his command, he is too short of generals to lead the troops.

And there are no generals who are strong enough.

So what if there are more soldiers and horses?

But now it was too late to realize this. Facing the attack of three armies, Yuan Shu could not resist at all. The army was retreating steadily and could only keep retreating.

The three-way coalition is advancing vigorously.

Among them, Lu Bu's army was the most aggressive in fighting. He was like the tip of a spear, powerful and unstoppable.

Inside the Chinese army camp.

Lu Bu looked at the march map on the table and couldn't help but said happily: "Yuan Shu is really vulnerable. According to the current progress of the attack, we will be able to attack Shouxian County in less than three months and capture the false emperor!" "

He was still a little wary of Yuan Shu. After all, he was a powerful tyrant in Huainan with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

But when they actually fought, he found that the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shu's army was not very good.

To be precise, the general who commanded the troops was too incompetent.

There isn’t even one who can fight!

Chen Gong also smiled and said: "It's not that the enemy is too weak, but that the general is too brave; and this time Yuan Shu is facing four armies, attacking from two sides."

"His main troops were all on guard against Sun Ce and they did not dare to mobilize easily. That's why this battle went so smoothly."

Sun Ce poses a greater threat to Yuan Shu than the three armies.

Because the former is in the hinterland of the Huainan generation, it is simply a knife stuck in Yuan Shu's heart and can kill him at any time.

Therefore, Yuan Shu had to send a large number of troops to defend Sun Ce.

"Sun Ce? Sun Jian's son?"

Lu Bu raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "If there is a chance, I, the general, would like to meet him for a while to see who is stronger and weaker than his father!"

He once fought against Sun Jian when he was under Dong Zhuo.

And also lost to the opponent twice.

Although there were various reasons for the two defeats, a defeat was a defeat, and there was nothing to say. He just wanted to wait for the opportunity to fight Sun Jian again, defeat him head-on, and avenge his previous humiliation.

But who would have known that the opportunity to fight did not come, but the news that Sun Jian was killed was unexpectedly missed, which he has always regretted.

Since it is said that Sun Jian's son Sun Ce is as brave as his father, then he will have to compete for a while!

"General, there is no need to confront Sun Ce head-on."

Chen Gong tried to dissuade him, and then patiently explained to Lu Bu: "Our crusade against Yuan Shu is, firstly, to kill the false emperor for justice, and secondly, to carve up Yangzhou. In fact, the latter is the real purpose."

"Didn't you notice? Sun Ce has stopped sending troops since he captured Danyang and Lujiang counties. He only confronts Yuan Shu, which shows that he is waiting for the opportunity."

"As long as the three armies have exhausted Yuan Shu's strength, he will send out troops again to carve up more territory! By then the three armies will be exhausted, who can compete with him?"

"If you confront him again then, I'm afraid you will fail miserably."

Compared to Lu Bu, who only thinks about how to fight.

Chen Gong saw and thought much more.

He is always paying attention to the changes in the current situation.

Lu Bu's expression suddenly changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but said: "How can Sun Ce be so treacherous? Then... Gongtai, what should I do now, general?"

Chen Gong had already made up his mind and replied: "From now on, generals can no longer fight as aggressively as before. They need to conserve their strength."

"At the same time, we will mobilize troops from Xuzhou to garrison the cities that have been captured and capture as much of these territories as possible."

Chen Gong never thought about taking the whole of Yangzhou from beginning to end.

Because he knew this was impossible.

His purpose was just to get a share of the war against Yuan Shu and carve up part of Yuan Shu's territory.

"Okay! It's all according to Gongtai's words!"

Lu Bu nodded repeatedly and followed Chen Gongyan's advice.

Then he remembered another thing and continued to ask Chen Gong: "Gongtai, after defeating the false emperor Yuan Shu, should we find a way to save your majesty?"

Lu Bu has always been thinking about Liu Xie in Yecheng.

His idea was simple. If he could rescue Liu Xie from Yuan Shao, his contribution would be greater than that of defeating Yuan Shu.

Maybe if your majesty is happy, you can directly worship him as a general!

"..."

Chen Gong was silenced by Lu Bu's words.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, can they be compared?

After sighing in his heart, Chen Gong said: "General, don't think about this for now. Yuan Shao is not something that the general can match now."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty is actually very safe in Yecheng. Yuan Shao does not dare to do anything to Your Majesty. I heard a few days ago that he even offered a woman with a phoenix life to enter the palace to show respect for the emperor. This shows that he still pays attention to his superficial reputation. , How dare you harm Your Majesty at will?"

Chen Gong was really afraid that after beating Yuan Shu, Lu Bu would get mad and continue to beat Yuan Shao, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Understood."

Fortunately, Lu Bu still listened to the advice. After Chen Gong said this, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​rescuing Liu Xie from Yuan Shao, but he was thoughtful in his heart.

Can you gain a good reputation by presenting a beautiful woman to His Majesty?

…

Yecheng, Yuan Mansion.

After a period of recovery, Yuan Shao has now recovered.

But there are still some sequelae, and he can't get angry easily, otherwise he might fall into a coma like last time, or even worse.

After recovering, he still did not take back the power to handle military affairs from his two sons, but continued to let them help share the pressure.

At this time, Yuan Shang was reporting the situation on the front line to Yuan Shao.

"Father, the battle line in Yangzhou has been stretched out for a long time now. Many soldiers have been killed and wounded on the front line. General Yan requested to increase the troops and logistical supplies."

"I have already allocated 20,000 troops for reinforcement. At the same time, the logistical supplies have been increased by 30% to prepare for emergencies."

After listening to Yuan Shang's report, Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "20,000 is not enough. Another 20,000 will be allocated. At the same time, the logistical supplies will be increased to 50%. We must ensure the supply of the front line."

Yuan Shang was stunned, but immediately nodded and said: "Yes, father!"

Yuan Xi, who was standing aside, was full of bitterness when he heard this, and said: "Father, isn't it a bit too much to increase the logistical supplies by 50%?"

"Now that the battle line is so long, the pressure on logistics is already huge. Now doubling the supply is really... a bit overwhelmed."

Now Yuan Shang is in charge of military affairs, while Yuan Xi is in charge of logistics.

Yangzhou is far away from Jizhou. Stretching the battle line so long is a huge challenge for logistics, not to mention that so many more troops are needed now.

This made Yuan Xi feel deeply pressured.
