Chapter 686
"Cuckoo..."

A carrier pigeon flew from the sky, traveled a long distance, and landed in a huge military camp.A soldier untied the silk book tied to its leg, then turned and ran towards a military tent.

Then he took out the bamboo slips and started flipping through them. A knife and pen official wrote on the blank bamboo slips. After a while, a book was easily translated.

The soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, and ran to the big tent of the Chinese army with the bamboo slips in their hands.

"report"

"General Enlightenment"

"There is news from Yuzhou"

The voice rang in the ears, and the soldiers ran into the big tent of the Chinese army, bowing to Zhang Xiu who was sitting on the main seat.Immediately afterwards, he raised the bamboo slip in his hand to the top of his head, showing a respectful expression.

When Zhang Xiu heard the word Yuzhou, he immediately got up and walked towards the soldier.

All the generals also looked over one after another, showing doubts and puzzled expressions.What is the reason for the news from the state pastor at this time?Could it be that something happened in Yuzhou?
Zhang Xiu took the bamboo slips and quickly opened them.Looking around above, his brows were furrowed at first, but later on, there was a strong fighting spirit.

"The Great Change in Bingzhou, Lu Bu captured the two counties of Shang and Xihe, causing Gongsun Zan, who is in the eastern part of Jizhou, to dispatch more than ten thousand white horse soldiers to help Qingzhou. Although we have many overseas soldiers, we cannot advance an inch. Therefore, the lord has ordered Guo Dafatty, the overseas governor. , [-] troops went south to Xuzhou, and formed a pincer attack with our army. After capturing Xuzhou, they swung their troops northward to swallow Qingzhou."

The voice fell in everyone's ears, and the fighting spirit became stronger.

Since Guangling's soldiers and horses went north, they used Jia Junshi's plan to kill [-] elite Xuzhou in Xiapi County, and the soldiers pointed directly at Donghai County.So far, Xuzhou's morale has plummeted. If Qingzhou hadn't sent troops, Xuzhou City would have already been in the pocket by this time.

Now Xiapi and Guangling counties have belonged to Yangzhou, and Xuzhou Mu can only govern Pengcheng, Langya and Donghai County.

Countless thoughts circled in my mind, and the topography of Xuzhou came to my mind.

Jia Xu weighed the comparison between Guangling cavalry and Xuzhou's troops, and gradually fell into contemplation.Xuzhou has only [-] soldiers and horses, plus [-] Qingzhou Guan Yu's troops, for a total of [-] people.

As for the Guangling cavalry, there were no more than [-] cavalry, and in addition to the battle all the way, the damage was about [-] people.

Generally speaking, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Xuzhou were stationed in Xuzhou City, more than [-] more than Guangling cavalry, but their combat effectiveness was far inferior to Guangling cavalry due to morale.

If you add the [-] soldiers and horses in Dongcai County who are about to go south, then your own side will have the upper hand in terms of military strength.

What's more, the two armies, one south and one north echo each other, as long as they can drag Qingxu soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City.Then once Guo Dudu goes south, he can sweep Langya Kingdom.From the army on the northern front line, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Xuzhou could only break out of the encirclement in the opposite direction of Pengcheng State, and then fled into Taishan County of Qingzhou.

The situation gradually became clear, and Jia Xu gained some confidence.

"Our army should not give Xuzhou city time to react, it should attack immediately. After a while, Xuzhou will be in the bag. At that time, the two armies will have a total of [-] troops, which is enough to sweep Qingzhou."

Zhang Xiu spoke to the crowd with a resounding tone.

Looking around at the generals, they finally fell on Jia Xu.

"I don't know what the military division wants?"

"Although this plan is good, it still needs to be done in a false way"

"What is the way of falsehood?"

"Divide five thousand troops and disturb the enemy at night"

Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu.

The voice fell in the ear, and all the generals showed doubts.Compared with the defenders of Xuzhou City, the Guangling cavalry was slightly insufficient.Onslaught is already the limit, but in such a situation, choosing to divide the troops, is it too big?And what can a mere five thousand soldiers and horses do?
"Onslaught is the bottom, dragging the enemy and disturbing the enemy is the top"

Seeing the puzzled looks of the generals, Jia Xu explained slowly.

Hearing the explanation, the doubts not only did not disappear, but intensified a bit.

"The military division means that there is no need for a fierce attack?"

"Just a feint"

Jia Xu replied.

Zhang Xiu frowned.

"What if the feint attack is seen through by Xuzhou City? Wouldn't the soldiers who went to feign the attack be in danger?"

"The whole army can attack"

Jia Xu replied.

Zhang Xiu seems to have understood the essence of it. Is this what the Tao of False and Real is talking about?If you follow this method, you may be able to achieve the goal of holding back the Xuzhou defenders at the smallest cost.

"In the daytime, the army gathered outside the city of Xuzhou, and ordered more than ten thousand soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Xuzhou city. If Xuzhou's soldiers and horses are exhausted, they will retreat and return to fight outside the range of the arrows. Xuzhou's defenders will surely retreat, and our army is taking advantage of the momentum to send troops Attacking the city. The cycle goes on and on, so that Xuzhou City cannot be distracted by it.”

"At night, [-] soldiers and horses were ordered to beat the drums and shout to kill. At the same time, the army was divided into three, and more than [-] soldiers were ordered to sleep without removing their armor. If Xuzhou City ignored the sound of the drums, the soldiers in armor would be awakened. Xuzhou City launched a fierce attack"

Jia Xu explained to Zhang Xiu, and all the generals looked suddenly enlightened.If you want to hold back Xuzhou City and make Xuzhou have no energy to look around the city, it is obviously more appropriate to use the strategy of fatigue than to attack.

Zhang Xiu thought quickly, nodded to Jia Xu, and then looked around at the generals.

"The words of the military division make sense"

"Now that Governor Guo is about to go south, we must not miss a big deal, and we should send troops to Xuzhou City immediately."

"Hucheer"

"exist"

"With you as the vanguard, more than ten thousand troops stormed Xuzhou City"

"promise"

A burly general yelled at Zhang Xiu, then turned and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the leaving back, Zhang Xiu didn't pause too much, and immediately issued a military order loudly to the generals in the tent.

"Send the order down"

"Assemble the lieutenant generals and prepare to attack Xuzhou City."

"promise"

The generals responded loudly.

Then they turned around and walked out of the tent.

Jia Xu's eyes shifted from those people's backs to Zhang Xiu, pointing at him.

"Although our army implements the strategy of exhausting troops, there is no guarantee that it will not be noticed. We should send more scouts around the city to inquire about the movement of the city. If there is news of the army going north, we should immediately report it to Governor Guo with pigeons."

"Could it be that they dare to divide their troops to garrison Langya Kingdom at this time?"

"Qingzhou and Xuzhou are not different from each other. Once the news of Guo Dudu's going south is known, there will inevitably be a rift. It is not impossible for Qingzhou soldiers to insist on going north."

Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu.

The situation in Qingzhou emerged in Zhang Xiu's mind, and he gradually revealed a dignified expression.

Most of Dongcai County has fallen into the hands of Governor Guo. Emperor Liu Bei commanded [-] troops to guard Chunyu, and his subordinate Zhao Yun commanded more than [-] troops and was fighting for the eastern counties of Dongcai with Peng Qing's troops under Governor Guo.Once Guan Yu's troops who assisted in the defense of Xuzhou learned of the news of Guo Dudu's going south, they would definitely fly pigeons to inform Emperor Liu Bei.The three soldiers and horses formed a three-sided attack on Guo Dudu's [-] troops, and the overseas monster soldiers would be in danger.

However, if his reaction is fast enough, he can take advantage of the momentum and launch a fierce attack on Xuzhou City.At that time, when the army was in Langya State to defeat Guan Yu's troops and join forces with Guo Dudu, they could rush to Qingzhou.
