Overlord!

Summoned by Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun and Lu Meng soon arrived in front of Sun Ce.

The three of them bowed their hands respectfully, and said: "I pay my respects to the general, and respectfully ask the general Jin An."

Sun Ce smiled and waved his hands. These three can be said to be the three most admired generals by Sun Ce at present.

Especially Lu Meng, Sun Ce looked at him with relief.This is a general who was promoted and trained by himself.

Since he was 16 years old, I have taught him the art of war, how to march and fight, and how to be aggressive.Since he was a child, he has been nurtured to study literature and martial arts, and cultivate him in the direction of a good general.

It is comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty teaching Huo Qubing how to practice swords and how to lead soldiers.

And Lu Meng also lived up to Sun Ce's teachings, and now he is at the age of a weak champion, and his courage is comparable to that of a champion.And he is born with a quick and flexible mind, and his military tactics are very outstanding.

Sun Ce is very much looking forward to him being able to make great achievements in this battle with his military strategy.This is also one of the biggest advantages of Jiangdong's army over Yuan Shu's army. The generals at the grassroots level are highly motivated and can easily win brilliant victories.

Sun Ce looked at the three of them and said, "Now our Jiangdong army is attacking Huainan in the north. Zhu Banners are raised at the same time, and the clouds are sweeping. If you want to encircle Hefei personally, let the ministers and others each lead a part, and divide the troops into the army to fix the prefectures and counties."

When the three of them heard this, they all looked happy.Lead the army alone!This is a manifestation of extreme trust in any force, and it is also the best opportunity to show your loyalty and bravery!
Why does Yu Jin have an outstanding status under Cao Cao's command?Isn't it because when he first attacked Xuzhou, he led an army alone, with great martial arts skills, he destroyed cities and villages all the way, and broke through several counties, with outstanding abilities?

Among the three, Tai Shici used to lead an army alone. Fortunately, Lu Meng and Zhao Yun had never led an army alone and were in charge of one side.Especially Zhao Yun, who has almost no experience in commanding troops, has always cooperated with other generals in combat.

Now that they are shouldering heavy responsibilities, the two immediately feel complacent.

Lu Meng was young and a direct descendant of Sun Ce. He immediately raised his hands and said excitedly: "We will lead an elite army to defeat the enemy and expand the territory for the general!"

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Good! In this way, the three of you will each lead two thousand cavalry. Taishi Ci will attack Chengde, Zhao Yun will attack Anfeng, Lu Meng will attack Liu'an, and Gu Houqing and others will report the victory soon!"

These three counties plus Shouchun are the four most prosperous areas along Shaopi, especially in Lu'an where the water network is densely covered, which has the benefits of four waters.

If there is a severe drought in Huainan and the water network dries up, the only places that may still have a harvest are these four counties.

If Shaopi is dry, then Lu'an must be the one that can guarantee the harvest in the end.

So Sun Ce must seize this plain granary.

Zhao Yunna was a famous general who commanded 3000 men and could defeat a county. Now that he commands [-] elite soldiers, he should attack a county more smoothly.

With the strategy established, the Jiangdong army immediately began to divide its troops.

The advantage of occupying Chaohu Lake is that the army can send troops in all directions.

Sun Ce led the main force of more than [-] boat divisions to besiege Hefei, and the other three generals also divided their forces and advanced rapidly towards their respective targets.

Yuan Shu doesn't understand military affairs, but his generals still understand.

These generals are very aware of the importance of Hefei and Shaopi in the defense of Huainan, so Yuan Jun gathered [-] people in Hefei City!

General Qiao Rui personally led the army to guard it.

Along the Shaopi line, Yuan Jun also deployed heavy troops, and Yuan Shu's son-in-law and son-in-law captain Huang Yi personally supervised this important granary.

Taishi Ci's attack on Chengde was to the east of Shaopi, so his marching route was different from that of Zhao Yun and Lu Meng, and they separated very early.

Zhao Yun and Lu Meng attacked Anfeng and Liu'an, one was west of Shaopi and the other was south of Shaopi.

Their marching routes overlapped in the early stages, so they joined forces and marched together.

Not long after the four thousand cavalry were withdrawn, Lu Meng found Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong, it's a matter of defeating the enemy's plan. Does Zilong have any good ideas?"

Zhao Yun looked at this young Jiangdong captain in surprise. At a young age, he commanded two thousand elite troops and divided them into counties.

This starting point is almost no weaker than that of a champion. In the future, his achievements may not be unable to emulate the predecessors, enshrine wolves as Xu, and restrain Shi Yanran.

He took the initiative to discuss the method of defeating the enemy, Zhao Yun did not hide anything, and said frankly: "In the current situation, Yuan's army is defending the city to the death. I thought that a strong attack would be difficult to accomplish great feats. Captain Gan can smash the enemy army and destroy the front on all sides. In addition to Gan Xiaowei's bravery and victory in the three armies, the more important thing is that the enemy's city defenses have not been repaired, so under Gan Xiaowei's fierce attack, the enemy was caught off guard and the city was destroyed."

"And along the Shaopi line, Yuan Jun's tens of thousands of elite soldiers have fortified here for a long time, and the city is high and the pond is deep. If, like Lieutenant Gan Xiaowei, there is no earth and hill attack equipment, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties if they go up to the city. "

Lu Meng's eyes were sharp and he nodded in recognition. He was worthy of being Wu Hou's trustworthy general. He was brave, resourceful and knowledgeable. This statement coincided with what he thought!

Zhao Yun continued: "I thought that if you want to defeat Huang Yi, you should defeat him by planning."

This is also what Lu Meng thought, the enemy army is defending the city, and they don't fight at all. If they want to attack and break through the city, it must be extremely difficult.

The best way is to use tricks.

But fire attacks, conspiracies and the like are all whimsical, and now everyone doesn't even know the situation in Lu'an and Anfeng, so if they want to use these tactics, they are all whimsical, and the success rate is very small.

Lu Meng asked: "What strategy does the general intend to use to defeat the enemy? Can we discuss one or two together?"

Zhao Yun said boldly: "There is nothing I can do. I thought that the land of Shaopi has the power of nine lakes, densely covered with water networks, and can dig rivers to irrigate the city and surround the enemy within the city."

The biggest advantage of this strategy is that, no matter whether the city is breached or not, Anfeng City is no longer a problem.

The besieging army will dig three trenches around the city and pour water into it. The enemy will be completely surrounded in the city.When the autumn harvest comes, I can only watch Jiangdong's army outside the city grabbing the wheat from Shaopi.

This is also in line with Zhao Yun's style. Regardless of the gains or losses of the siege, at least the strategic goal has been achieved, helping the army to seize the strategically important Shaopi, and isolating the Lujiang army to the south of the waterway.

In this way, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, the overall situation has been achieved.

But Lu Meng said bluntly: "I don't think this plan is appropriate. There is a severe drought in Huainan now, and there is not enough rain. Let alone the loss of prefectures and counties after diverting water to irrigate the city. With this amount of water, is it possible to dig rivers to irrigate the city?" Still unknown!"

Zhao Yun nodded approvingly, and he has always considered this aspect.

It's just that it is difficult to quickly break through the enemy's city with a strong attack, and other strategies are impractical to defeat the enemy. Only this water attack method has a certain possibility of success.

That's why he directly discussed it with Lu Meng. If this plan still didn't work, he would have to wait until the city was besieged and then improvise.

However, looking at Lu Meng's expression of wisdom, Zhao Yun Yingwu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Looking at Colonel Lu's demeanor, is there any clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Lu Meng nodded his head without any hesitation, and then said: "I do have a strategy to defeat the enemy, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed with my own strength. If I can get the help of General Zilong, and I can ride four thousand steps, I am sure to defeat the enemy." The enemy has tens of thousands of troops, and even General Taishi can win without fighting."

Zhao Yun smiled, he knew it.This little guy is not big, and he has a lot of official addictions. He wants to command himself!I want one person to supervise two departments and dispatch four thousand elite cavalry.

If you just command the army, you will command four thousand elite soldiers, defeat the many with the few, defeat Yuan Shu's son-in-law with tens of thousands of horses, and seize his important granary in one battle.

The excellence of this meritorious service will surely have a bright future.

No wonder the lieutenant generals joked that Jiangdong Amon was born with a flexible mind.

However, Zhao Yun was an elegant man and did not care about the ambition of the young captain Lu Meng. Instead, he said in an easy-going manner: "If Colonel Lu really has a good plan to defeat the enemy, it will be no problem if the two thousand soldiers under Yun's command are at his disposal." Yun Yi I will personally show my might and fight, cut down the banner of the general, and help you defeat the enemy!"

"Okay!" Lu Meng laughed and said with full confidence: "With the help of General Zilong, I know Huang Yi will defeat it! In this battle, our army will be swept by Yun Che and seize all the enemy's important food territory."

Then Lu Meng began to introduce his strategy in detail, and analyzed: "Yuan Shu is nepotism, but Shaopi is so important, but his son-in-law Huang Yi guards it. Who is Huang Yi? He is just a dude. Hearing the name of Marquis Wu is timid. But anyone who has a little Talent, Yuan Shu will not often sigh, so that Shu has sons like Sun Lang, so there is no regret after death."

"Such a dandy, with an acceptable demeanor, must be uneasy if he wants to face the enemy in battle, lead such a large army for the first time, and face off against a world-famous general."

Zhao Yun looked calm and nodded slightly. Lu Meng's analysis was very clear and popular.No one can much doubt it.

Marquis Wu had just defeated Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling and destroyed Yuan Shu's [-] elite troops.

In Huainan, everyone is afraid of Wu Hou's military power, and the generals and soldiers have been afraid of them like tigers for a long time.

In particular, Yuan Shu suffered two major defeats in a row recently, causing people's hearts to be turbulent, his power suffered heavy losses, the morale of the soldiers was low, and the army's morale was uneasy.

However, Yuan Shu's influence does not cultivate morality.From the top to the public, the generals, the soldiers, the soldiers, the reason why they are self-sufficient, but not collapsed, why?
It's just that they rely on their power to be strong and gather together to be safe.The power is high and low, and they are all vassals, relying on the number of people and the power of the crowd, and barely seek peace of mind.

This is especially true for a dude like Yuan Shu's son-in-law.

He didn't understand how prosperous Sun Ce's army was?Still don't know how fierce Sun Ce's soldiers are?

Ji Ling led an army of [-] and was defeated by Sun Ce in the first battle. Ji Ling died, and the entire army was wiped out.

Where does he have the confidence to fight against Sun Ce with 1 people?
It's just that there are few poor people in Jiangdong and the army is limited.It was also blocked by Hefei, so the troops who could attack him, Huang Yi, were limited, no more than a few thousand at most.

That's why he has the confidence to guard this important military town with more than ten thousand defenders.

But once the situation exceeds his expectations, he will immediately fall into a state of anxiety. Facing the famous generals who shake the world, he will never be indifferent, unable not to be afraid of the majesty, regardless of life and death.

Lu Meng therefore said: "Huang Yi's support is that our army is small, and it is difficult to break out of the city. He is holding on to the city and waiting for reinforcements. From the beginning to the end, I am afraid that he has never thought of defending the city with his own strength and blocking me. The main force of the army."

Zhao Yunying raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lieutenant Lu wants to shock the enemy?"

Lu Meng immediately nodded and said, "That's right. I'm especially shocked by a dude like Huang Yi. He dared to defend the city because he knew it would be difficult for thousands of my soldiers to break through the city, and his life was safe. But if my army besieged the city, the momentum If he is in danger of breaking the city and dying, he is very likely to abandon the city and leave, causing the army's morale to be shaken, and the city can be broken without a fight!"

Zhao Yun agreed with Lu Meng's deduction very much, and immediately asked: "Then how does Colonel Lu want to strengthen my reputation and shock the enemy?"

It is by no means an easy task to scare Huang Yi into fear and horror just by using momentum, and even without absolute scale and momentum, it is absolutely impossible for Huang Yi to flee in terror as soon as he sees it.

This is not something that can be achieved by a force of 4000, or even a force of 4!
Even if a crowd of [-] came, it might not make the defenders collapse in fright.

Zhao Yun really couldn't think of how magnificent and spectacular the hands could be to form such a majestic force.

Lu Meng smiled calmly and confidently and said: "If you want to achieve such a power in other states, I'm afraid it will be difficult. But only in Jiangdong, I have unique advantages."

Then Lu Meng pointed to the majestic mountains and rivers ahead, and said with high spirits: "My army can go from Hefei to Liu'an, from Shaopi to Anfeng, plant trees, clothes and reeds, set up red flags widely, and connect them for six hundred miles. The mighty, crimson flags in the sky! With the banners at the foot of the mountain in sight, and the drums and horns hearing each other on the top of the mountain, the banners can stretch for six hundred miles, and the sound of the drums and drums can be heard far and near, thus frightening the enemy!"

After hearing what Lu Meng said, Zhao Yun took a deep breath instantly, and he could already imagine this grand scene.

The enemy army watched from a distance on the city wall, and saw a line in the distance. The vast and mighty are all the enemy's continuous scarlet banners and red military uniforms.

At that time, the gongs and drums will be played everywhere, and the sound will shake the sky and the earth. The defenders will probably be terrified, thinking that the 20 troops that Jiangdong claims are really coming!

It is impossible to set up banners and flags for six hundred miles without massive wealth.But Jiangdong really has so much cloth, as long as they can win, even a million pieces of vermilion silk and silk can be supported by the Jiangdong treasury.

If the banners really stretched for more than 20 miles, with straw men and trees and reeds planted everywhere, no matter whether the defenders believed in the figure of [-] or not, they would still be frightened to death by the scale of this magnificent banner!

The only problem now is that the flag stretches for more than [-] miles, so the enemy cannot detect the truth!

We must stay far away from Yuan Shu's defenders!
Zhao Yun regained his composure from the shock, and immediately said: "The key to this strategy is not to let Yuan Jun know the truth. It must be ensured that Yuan Jun's soldiers are trapped and died in the city. There is no hope of victory inside, and no need to rescue them outside." Only then can you flee in terror."

Lu Meng immediately said generously: "This requires General Zilong Yaowei to fight hard! Although the enemy army defends the city, there are bound to be brave men who want to check the strength of our army in the panic. We must ensure that all enemy troops leave the city. , will be stabbed to death under the city! The more than two hundred black armored cavalry in our department can be handed over to the command of General Zilong. General Zilong, is it possible to take on this important task? "

Zhao Yun was full of pride, feeling impassioned and ambitious, and immediately said generously: "Lieutenant Lu has such a grand plan, how can Yun not help him? I will lead the iron cavalry, prancing horses and guns, and kill all the enemies on the city wall." Come on, if you don't let a single person get away, you will surround the enemy with water!"
