The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Except for Wei Yue, who was in charge of picking the weak and unbearable, the rest of the generals followed Lu Bu back to the county.

Because this attack on Yingchuan is another battle that is about to start since Lu Bu arrived in Yuzhou, it can be compared to the last time he attacked Runan. It is foreseeable that after Sun Jian hears the news, nine out of ten, he will personally lead the soldiers of Yuzhou. The main force came to fight against Lü Bu, so Lü Bu summoned all the generals who were originally stationed in the counties he occupied to his station the day before yesterday.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Cao Xing, Gao Ya, Fanyi and other generals, or fighting generals, are all there, all together.

All the generals were wearing fine armors, and various patterns were painted on the armors. Some liked colors, such as elegant and pan-chan, and they also painted their armors in red, yellow and other colors, and besides the armor, There are many cloaks and cloaks made of splendid silk and satin.

Only Gao Shun, with frugal clothes and armor, neither painted nor painted, nor had any decorations, sitting among the crowd, he seemed a little out of place. However, none of the generals, including Lu Bu, were surprised by this.

Gao Shun has such a personality. He is innocent and dignified. He usually doesn't drink alcohol. Although he is a warrior, in his personal life, he is more strict with himself than ordinary Confucian scholars. Desires, women's sex, and wealth are not interested at all, and they are cautious in their words and deeds, and they don't even talk much. Using the descriptions of later generations to describe them is like austerity.

The main hall of the county temple sits north and faces south.

On the west wall of the hall, there is a large map.

What is depicted in the picture is the situation of Yuzhou, as well as the situation of the states around Yuzhou and bordering Yuzhou. Not only the cities of the prefectures of Yuzhou, the cities of the prefectures bordering Yuzhou, but also the mountains and rivers in Yuzhou are shown in the picture.

Looking at this map, in Yuzhou, the westernmost is Yingchuan County, and the easternmost is Peiguo. The northernmost is Wenyang County of Lu State, which is on the south bank of Sishui, bordered by Jibei State of Yanzhou to the west, and Taishan County to the east; the southernmost is Yiyang County of Runan County, which is in Huaiyang On the south bank of the water, it borders Jiangxia County in Jingzhou in the south, and Lujiang County in Yangzhou in the east. From the northernmost to the southernmost, it is also about 800 miles long. Of course, Wenyang County and Yiyang County are not facing north and south. of.

From west to east, the prefectures of Yuzhou are Yingchuan County, Chen State in the north, Runan County in the south, Liang State in the northeast of Chen State, Pei State, and Lu State in the north of Pei State. There are a total of six prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of eighty or ninety counties. In the past Taiping years, the population was almost more than six million. Today, of course, there is not such a large population, and the overall population census has not been done for a long time, but a rough estimate, how to say, there must be three or four million people, there should be no problem.

At present, more than ten counties in the south of Runan County are occupied by Lu Bu; Yingchuan County, Twenty County in the north of Runan County, Chen State, and Liang State are under the rule of Sun Jian. As for the state of Pei and the state of Lu, which is encompassed between Yanzhou and Taishan County, the state of Pei is actually semi-autonomous, or in other words, it is mainly ruled by local tyrants, and the other is completely Affiliated to Xuzhou.

These counties in Yuzhou, the same as those in Yanzhou, are located in a relatively narrow area with numerous county towns.

Especially Yingchuan County.

Yingchuan County is less than 300 miles from east to west, and only 200 miles from north to south. In such a small area, there are actually seventeen counties.

The nearby counties, such as Xunzhen's hometown Yingyin, are only forty miles away from the county seat of Changshe County in the north, and are similar to Xuxian County in the northeast, Linying County in the southeast, and Yingyang County in the southwest. distance.

Another example is the four counties of Yan, Dingling, Wuyang, and Kunyang in the southeastern region of Yingchuan. Recently, it was only forty miles.

Forty miles, fifty or sixty miles, such a short distance, during the Taiping period, it was convenient for scholars from various counties to travel, meet celebrities in other counties, or visit relatives and friends in other counties, but during the war years, When it comes to fighting, it is extremely unfavorable, not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry, it can also arrive in the morning.

In addition, Yingchuan County, Yima Pingchuan, basically has no high mountains to hinder it, and in terms of terrain, it is also extremely unfavorable for guarding.

If you must find a favorable condition for Yingchuan County in terms of defense, it is that there are many rivers in Yingchuan County. This county can be said to be the county with the most dense river network in the entire Yuzhou, and even the Henan and Yanzhou. First of all, Yingchuan County got its name because of the Yingshui River, which originates from Yanggan Mountain in Lunshi County, flows eastward, and runs through the entire county of Yingchuan. This is a river; secondly, the north side of Yingchuan There are Xun (Xun) and Wei (wei) waters, and Rushui to the south. Rushui divides into several tributaries. All in all, these six or seven rivers, large and small, cover the seventeen counties of Yingchuan County. Roughly divided into six or seven pieces.

However, this is only from the map, and it seems to be favorable for Yingchuan's defense.

In fact, this so-called "benefit" is actually not worth mentioning.

For no other reason, it is all because these rivers are not big rivers, the rivers are not wide, the rivers are not fast, and both sides of the rivers are plains, so there is no danger. Therefore, if the enemy attacks, these rivers will be at most It can play a short-term buffering role. It doesn't take three or two days. You don't even need to find a boat or build a bridge. You only need to make a floating device such as a sheepskin bag, and the enemy can easily cross.

Kunyang, Wuyang, Dingling, and Yan in the southeastern region of Yingchuan, these four counties are bordered by Nanyang County of Jingzhou in the southwest and Runan County in the east. The three counties are on the north bank of Lishui, and Wuyang is on the south bank of Lishui alone.

This time Lü Bu attacked Yingchuan County. These four counties, or in other words, Wuyang, Dingling, and Yan, the three counties lined up from west to east along the Li River, were the first places he planned to attack.

Lü Bu stood in front of the map, holding a straight whip inlaid with gems and sticking to gold foil, he tapped Wuyang and other three counties, and then placed the tip of the whip on Dingling County, which was in the middle of the three counties, and followed Dingling County to the Row to the northwest, pass Xiangcheng County, which is 60 miles away, and Yingyang County, which is 30 to 40 miles away, and continue to the northwest along the Yingshui River. After another forty miles, the whip stops at Yangzhai. county.

Yangzhai is the county seat of Yingchuan.

Lü Bu turned his head, looked at the generals in the hall, and said, "Today we will attack Yingchuan, let's fight Wuyang, Dingling and Yan first, and after these three counties, especially Dingling, will be captured, we will take advantage of the victory to advance northward. As long as we can conquer Xiangcheng and Yingyang again, then Yangzhai will be in our army's pocket! Once Yangzhai is under, the entire Yingchuan county will soon be owned by our army!"

Zhang Liao looked at the map carefully, asked a question, and said, "Duke Ming, Sun Wentai will not sit idly by and let Yingchuan fall into my hands. He will definitely rush to help Yingchuan. If he arrives, what should our army do?"

Lü Bu had a plan in his mind, so he dropped the straight whip back to the three counties of Dingling, along the Rushui River in the north of the three counties, and went straight to Pingyu County, a hundred miles southwest of Yan County, - Pingyu, the county seat of Runan, Sun Jian He said, "Wenyuan, you are right. Of course Sun Wentai will not sit and watch Yingchuan capture for me and not save it. I also think that he will definitely help Yingchuan. A place to arrive must be Yanxian. Then, let's pack up his reinforcements in Yanxian first!"

Zhang Liao said, "Yan County?"

Lu Bu said: "Yes, my plan is: we will advance in three ways, attack Wuyang, Dingling and Yanxian respectively, Wuyang and Dingling counties, we will do our best to defeat them. County, let's pretend we can't move, and when the reinforcements that lured Sun Wentai to arrive, we will set up an ambush by the river outside the county, and attack it while it is halfway through, and it will definitely be broken with one blow!"

Both Wuyang and Dingling counties face water on one side, but Yan County does not.

The north of Yanxian is Lishui, and the south is Rushui. Lishui and Rushui are very close to the county seat of Yanxian, and the two rivers meet in the east of Yanxian, which means that the north, east and south of Yanxian are , are river water on three sides. Sun Jian's troops came from Runan in the southeast, so after reaching the outside of Yanxian city, the north, east, and south of Yanxian are surrounded by water. When Lü Bu's troops confronted each other, they had to cross the river, and this gave Lü Bu the opportunity to cross and attack.

This battle plan sounds perfect and ideal.

But he said, what if Sun Jian's troops don't cross the river?

Lu Bu also had a plan. He took the initiative to say it without waiting for the generals to ask questions. He smiled and said, "If Sun Wentai's department refuses to cross the river, then we don't need to be polite any more and just shoot down Yan County. Still according to the strategy I just said, we will enter the army in Xiangcheng County. If Sun Wentai dares to chase after our army, we will fight him between Xiangcheng and Dingling!

"Since our army entered Runan, we have fought against Sun Wentai's troops many times. Although his troops are elite, their troops are mainly composed of southerners, with many infantry, few cavalry, and field battles on the plains. My enemy!"

Lu Bu and Sun Jian, their troops and horses have indeed been fighting frequently these past few months, and Lu Bu has already figured out the strength of Sun Jian's troops.

Sun Jian's direct descendants were all brought by him from Jingzhou. In terms of combat effectiveness, he can certainly be called an elite soldier, but his biggest weakness is that he has not many cavalry, and not only few cavalry, but also those who are good at archery, cavalry, and cavalry warfare. Fewer soldiers.

In this respect, Lu Bu's department is much stronger than Sun Jian's department.

Although Lü Bu escaped from Chang'an at the beginning, it was after the city was destroyed, and the children of Liang and Liang who accompanied him were not many. It is possible that those who came out with him were all warriors who were one to ten, or even one to a hundred. On the day when Yuan Shao was under the tent, when he fought with the Montenegrin army, he often brought only a dozen or so strong men to go back and forth into the formation of thousands of Montenegrin army, as if entering a no-man's land, and killed a lot of people. And the fighting power of the warriors under his tent can be seen from this.

Then, since Lu Bu and his minions are so strong in combat, why has it been a long time since he entered Runan, why hasn't he been able to capture the entire territory of Runan County? And can only face off with Sun Jian's department across the Rushui? This is because Sun Jian's army has the city on the north bank of Rushui to defend, and the children of Bing and Liang under Lv Bu's tent, although they are unparalleled in horse and archery, are brave and brave, but they are used in field battles to attack the city. Out of reach.

In fact, Lu Bu really expected that Sun Jian would dare to lead his troops to fight against him!

As long as Sun Jian dared to do this, Lu Bu would have a 100% certainty that he would be defeated and annihilated.

After listening to Lu Bu's plan, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the others pondered for a while, and they all felt that Lu Bu's plan was very feasible, because no one objected to it.

Lu Bu returned to the case, put down his whip, stood up with his sword, looked at the generals, and said, "Military order!"

Zhang Liao and the others immediately got up.

The plates on the armor collided, clattering incessantly in the hall.

Lü Bu waited for them to stand up, and began to give orders, the first to call Zhang Liao: "Zhang Liao."

Zhang Liao responded, "The last general is here!"

"Give you a thousand soldiers and horses to attack Wuyang!"

Zhang Liao responded, "No!"

Lu Bu looked away, looked at Hao Meng, and ordered, "I'll give you a thousand troops to attack Yan County!"

Hao Meng raised her chest and protruded belly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ replied: "No!"

"Hou Cheng, Cao Xing."

Hou Cheng and Cao Xing responded, "The last will be here!"

"The two of you don't need to attack Yingchuan from me, but stay in the city to prevent Sun Wentai from sending troops to sneak attack; after I defeat Sun Wentai's reinforcements and capture Yingchuan, you two will wait for my order, and as soon as my order arrives, it will be done. From the headquarters of the two of you, cross the Rushui in the north, and attack Pingyu in the north! I will lead my troops from Yingchuan to attack it from the west of Pingyu!

However, not only did he figure out the strategy for attacking Yingchuan, but Lu Bu also thought about the arrangements after Yingchuan was captured.

Hou Cheng and Cao Xing responded loudly, "No!"

Lü Bu finally said: "Song Xian, Gao Shun, Gao Ya, Fanyi, and Wei Yue, you attack Dingling from me."

Song Xian and other generals responded, "No!"

Lü Bu paused for a moment, made an addition, which could be regarded as an exhortation, and explained to Zhang Liao and other generals, and said, "This time to attack Yingchuan, we will not only use our own banner, but also spread the news that Zhang Mengzhuo and us are allies. In order to attract the public opinion of taxis in Yingchuan."

Zhang Liao hesitated, and said, "Yingchuan is rich in humanities, and it is a famous county at home and abroad. With the help of Zhang Mengzhuo's fame, it can certainly help our army to capture this county, but Duke Ming, if Yuan Gonggong knew about this matter? He? What if you are angry?"

With resentment and contempt, Lu Bu said, "You have seen the soldiers and rations that Yuan Gonggong sent us to us just now. He has humiliated me so much, can we still be willing to be his eagle dogs?

"Furthermore, only after we capture Yingchuan and take advantage of the situation to cover Runan, we will have these two major counties in our hands. Compared with Yuan Highway, only Nanyang County will be the only one. maybe!"
