The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 59 A good strategy for being attacked by the enemy?

In a blink of an eye, early February.

Xiangyang City, inside the general's mansion.

Listening to the emperor's edict, Liu Biao frowned. It seemed that Cao Cao couldn't beat Zhang Xiu for a while.

"Uncle Liu Huang, accept the order!"

After the father-in-law finished reading, he said sharply.

Liu Biao received the edict, a little dazed, and watched the eunuch leave.

"Everyone, since Cao Cao issued this edict, it seems that he and Zhang Xiu can't tell the difference. Do you think I should accept the edict?" Liu Biao glanced at everyone in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, I think this edict is acceptable but not acceptable. Otherwise, if Zhang Xiu is defeated, Cao Cao's troops will come to the city. In this way, our army will face Cao's army directly. It is not a good deed."

"My lord, my subordinates believe that this edict should be accepted. Zhang Xiu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in less than a year since he arrived in Nanyang. Even Cao Cao can't do anything to him. I'm afraid this person's ambition is not here.

If the lord takes advantage of the situation and destroys Zhang Xiu, it will truly eliminate future troubles and be a blessing to the people of Jingzhou! "

All of a sudden, everyone offered advice.

Liu Biao fell into hesitation. Seeing this, Cai Mao smiled lightly and said, "My lord, my subordinates think that we can accept the imperial edict but do it slowly. My lord can send tens of thousands of water steps to the river bank.

At the same time, scouts can be sent to detect the movements of the two armies. When both sides are in danger, the lord can raise his troops to fight, pacify Nanyang, collect all the remnants of Zhang Xiu, and even cover and kill Cao Cao.

Victory can take Yanzhou directly, and then dominate the world.If you lose, you will retreat to Nanyang and separate yourself from one side. "

As soon as Cai Hao's words came out, many civil and military officials immediately nodded their approval. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight like this, they neither helped Cao Cao nor Zhang Xiu, but stationed troops on the river bank.

When the two fight, both losers, Liu Biao only needs to send a general to lead the attack on Xinye.

Hearing that everyone around agreed, Liu Biao said hesitantly, "But Zhang Xiu belongs to my Northern Domain after all, if you attack him, won't you be cast aside by the world?"

"My lord's words are wrong. Here is the imperial edict. My lord is only following the order to hunt down thieves. How can the people of the world cast aside it?

What's more, after defeating Zhangxiu, the lord can call the princes of the world in the name of the Qing emperor, and send troops to Xuchang. If he wins, the lord will be a loyal minister of Kuangfu Han, isn't it? "

Hearing what the civil official said, Kuai Liang was quite speechless, there is such a stupid person, does Liu Biao seem to be someone who wants to be on the side of the emperor?

Immediately said: "My lord, Cao Cao is powerful, and it is not a good strategy to march blindly. What's more, the first step is the lord's order to hunt down the thieves, and the next step is to lead the army to attack, or you will fall into the trap of others. You can't do it."

"Zi Rou is right!" Liu Biao smiled again on his downcast face. He had no intention of helping the Han Dynasty. Isn't it uncomfortable to be a local emperor now?

"Cai Mao listened to the order, and you immediately ordered [-] sailors and [-] infantry to go to the north of the Han River and garrison Fancheng. They said that there were many thieves on the river, and they were ordered to suppress the thieves."

"No!" Cai Mao gladly accepted the order.

Although Zhang Xiu has wooed their Cai family many times, Zhang Xiu has limited status after all. Compared with Cao Cao who has the emperor, they are more inclined to vote for Cao Cao.

Of course, whether it is the Cai family or the Kuai family, it is only a symbolic response, otherwise it will not be a slow camp, but a strong force to attack Xinye and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The reason why they did this was to see who was more powerful, Cao Cao or Zhang Xiu, and who they were more inclined to. Of course, the premise was that they dared to take Jingzhou.

…………

In a blink of an eye, in mid-February,
Looking at Cao Jun receding like a tide, Zhang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. This was the third day that Cao Jun had attacked so forcefully.

at this time,

Xu Shu came quickly, with an anxious face, and said anxiously after a few steps: "My lord, something bad happened to my lord!"

Zhang Xiujian frowned slightly, holding the blood-stained sword, said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shu glanced at the soldiers around him.

Zhang Xiu had a bad premonition in his heart, raised his hand, and the soldiers on both sides left knowingly, retreating more than twenty steps.

"My lord, there is an urgent message from Gan Ning, there is a change in Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent tens of thousands of water steps, and they are now stationed in Fancheng, Jiangbei. It is said to exterminate the water bandits, but in fact they want to use troops against us!"

Xu Shu's pupils shrank and his voice trembled.

"Targeting troops in Fancheng?" Zhang Xiu raised his brows upside down, "Is this Liu Biao disregarding his name?"

"My lord, I'm afraid it's Cao Cao's trick! However, Cao Jun should have gotten the news before our army, but he led the army to fight to the death. He wanted to come to Liu Biao to answer the imperial edict, but he did it slowly."

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows for analysis.

"Following the imperial edict, he did it slowly? Doesn't he want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, is he really afraid that his old teeth will be broken?" Zhang Xiu's voice was cold, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

"My lord, no matter whether Liu Biao wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, or he wants to attack our army, he should be prepared! Otherwise, if Xinye loses, the whole army will be defeated."

Xu Shu said anxiously.

Zhang Xiu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Pegasus hastened to report to Gan Ning, ordering him to obey orders with Jia Xu, beware of Liu Biao, and guard Xinye."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Jun who had withdrawn.

Is this the Three Kingdoms?Intrigues and intrigues, it seems that I am still too immature.

But in the future, he can't defend the city anymore, he must defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and he must win a big victory, otherwise Nanyang may be uneasy, so he has no place to stand.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought. He tried hard to recall all kinds of military tactics, and he was thinking of ways to defeat the enemy.

It was night, and Zhang Xiu fell asleep for a long time.

However, he thought about it all night, and there was only one point that could promote the decisive battle and result in victory or defeat.

That is, food!
In ancient marches and wars, food and grass were the lifeblood of the three armies, and almost all battles would send people to attack each other's food roads.

The most famous of these is the Battle of Guandu, where Cao Cao attacked Wuchao in a starry night and defeated Yuan Jun.

Perhaps, he can make some articles on this.

…………

The next morning, Zhang Xiu got up early.

When he was washing up, he also sent someone to summon Xu Shu.

After a while, in the study.

At this time Xu Shu came quickly, bowed and said, "My lord, what are you calling Shu?"

"Yuan Zhi, our army is facing the enemy at the moment, we can't delay any longer, I want to defeat the enemy with tricks."

"Use tricks to defeat the enemy?" Xu Shu was taken aback, "What trick does my lord want to use?"

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but instead asked: "Yuan Zhi, how much food and grass are there in the city now? How long can it last?"

"Food and grass?" Xu Shu didn't understand for a while, and replied, "My lord, there is still a hundred days of grain left in Yecheng, and the current supervisor of grain is Li Xu."

"Oh~? Is there only half a month's ration left?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

Xu Shu: "???"

"My lord, it's food for a hundred days, not half a month!"

The corners of Zhang Xiu's mouth turned up, "I said there is half a month left, so it's half a month left. Immediately send people flying horses to Xinye, and ask Jia Xu to prepare [-] hu of rice."

"In addition, let Cai Fan be the grain supervisor and lead the troops of the headquarters to transport grain."

"My lord, how can I let Cai Fan go against the lord and seek glory..." Speaking of this, Xu Shu shrank his eyes and asked in surprise, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"Army food is the most important thing for the three armies. How can I hand it over to such a villain. But if I force Cai Fan to vote for Cao Cao again, and let him secretly inform Cao Cao of a surprise attack on the food delivery node, what do you think will happen to Cao Cao?"

Zhang Xiu asked with a solemn expression.

He didn't know if his plan was feasible.

"If this is the case, Cao Cao will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity. He might gallop all night and destroy this batch of rations." Xu Shu thought for three breaths and said solemnly.

Speaking of this, Xu Shu focused his eyes and said anxiously: "Could it be that the lord wants to lure the enemy into deep?"
