Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [236] Lu Bu's Battle Plan

Xianyang.

The originally dark and majestic Qin Palace was now covered with a layer of snow white.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the entire Guanzhong seemed to be in a state of silence, and everything was completely silent.

"Tap Tat Tat..."

There was a crisp sound of horseshoes, and a scout galloped on the street, ignoring the slippery ground caused by the heavy snow, and went straight into the Qin Palace.

Horseshoes have been popularized in the military, and the shoes used by scouts are even more specially made, with anti-skid stripes on the bottom surface, which can be as stable as flying even in the snow.

Inside the government affairs hall.

Lu Bu is doing "winter vacation homework" with his four major advisers

During the autumn harvest, all the government affairs in the court need to give way to the autumn harvest, and a large amount of unimportant government affairs will be accumulated in this season.

And in winter, people need to hide from the winter to avoid the cold, all human activities are stopped, basically there will be no government affairs in winter.

In the leisure time of winter, it is undoubtedly the best time to deal with the accumulated government affairs, and clear all the accumulated government affairs this year.

Generally, the government affairs that can be accumulated up to this time are not important matters, and can be handled easily.

The hall was as warm as spring, the fire was burning red, and the palace servants brought hot tea, the severe cold outside the hall had nothing to do with this place.

"I don't know what's going on with Yuan Cao's battle." Lu Bu said casually while dealing with official business.

It is a piece of cake for Lu Bu to have one mind and two tasks, chatting and doing things at the same time.

"Then Cao Cao is really not easy. The news that came from the past few times is that Cao Cao won and Yuan Shao lost one after another." Zhang Song put down his brush and said.

"It's just a small victory, it won't change anything." Yang Xiu continued, "Although Yuan Shao has been defeated several times, the loss is not worth mentioning."

"Indeed, the strength gap between the two sides is too great. It doesn't matter if Yuan Shao loses ten times in such a small fight, but Cao Cao can't lose even one time." Fazheng said.

"I guess Yuan Shao has successfully crossed the river." Jia Xu said suddenly.

"Oh?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "How did you know that?"

You must know that Yuan Shao suffered successive defeats before, all of which were frustrated when crossing the river, and he has been unable to cross the Yellow River.

Before Jia Xu could answer, a palace official came in with a military report.

"report"

"Frontline military report, Yuan Shao successfully crossed the Yellow River."

Lu Bu couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words, and it really caught Jia Xu's expectations, and he couldn't help but start thinking, and after a while, his face showed a look of surprise, "So that's the case, Mr. Wen He's thoughtful thinking.

And the other three people are also smart people, and they also figured out the cause and effect one after another, and they couldn't help admiring Jia Xu, although Jiang was still old and spicy.

"Yellow River is frozen, Yuan Shao crossed the river smoothly, the Central Plains is safe to defend, Cao Cao will not be able to withstand it." Lu Bu said slowly: "However, the severe winter can delay for a while, and Cao Cao will definitely die after the beginning of spring. Five hundred thousand troops."

The reason why Jia Xu judged that Yuan Shao should cross the river successfully was based on the weather.

People often use the word "Sky Moat" to describe the Yangtze River, but they don't use this word to describe the Yellow River.

It is because the average depth of the Yellow River is only two or three meters, and the flow rate in many places is gentle, and some places will stop flowing in winter, which cannot stop the army at all.

Secondly, because of the developed water transportation of the Yangtze River, the navy can easily block the river, while the Yellow River is basically unnavigable.

The Yangtze River has a large flow, deep water, and many tributaries, and naval forces can be deployed on the river for defense. Therefore, if you want to cross the river, you must first break through the enemy's naval defense line.

On the other hand, the Yellow River has no flow in winter and its embankment bursts in summer, so it is not suitable for naval warfare. Without naval defenses, the Yellow River's role in blocking the enemy is much weaker.

The third is because the Yangtze River does not freeze in winter, but the Yellow River will freeze in a thick layer of ice in winter, and horses can even run on the ice. The enemy can cross the river by stepping on the ice, and there is no need to build a boat.

In winter, the Yellow River becomes a smooth road, so naturally it cannot be described as a natural moat.

Before the Yellow River had not yet frozen, Cao Cao relied on the Yellow River to make defenses. He often attacked Yuan Shao halfway across the river, and was able to repel Yuan Shao several times.

But as time went on, the weather became colder and colder, and the Yellow River gradually dried up and froze.

Relying on the disappearance of the advantage of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao's 500,000 troops directly pushed across the Yellow River. How could Cao Cao resist? He could only watch Yuan Shao cross the river easily.

However, although the crossing of the river was successful, it was dragged to the middle of winter by Cao Cao.

After all, the Yellow River has frozen and cut off its flow. It is conceivable that the weather is already very bad.

In this climate environment, it is unrealistic to storm the city. Without cotton clothes, winter in the north is a disaster.

After crossing the river, Yuan Shao had to take his army to hide in winter, and could not continue to fight.

It can be said that Cao Cao does not have to die for the time being, but he has entered the countdown to death.

Just after the beginning of spring, when the weather warms up, Yuan Shao will bring an army of 500,000 people and push Cao Cao away directly on the flat land of the Central Plains.

With an army of 500,000 troops, if the strength reaches this level, even if Cao Cao defends the city to death, it will be useless, and the siege can kill Cao Cao alive.

0...asking for flowers...

"Cao Cao is already in danger, we should also discuss how to take down the Yuan and Cao families at the same time, and occupy Hebei and Henan at the same time." Lu Bu said slowly.

Lu Bu has a big appetite and wants to eat two of them in one go.

If you only take Cao Cao's territory and enter the Central Plains, then Lu Bu needs to beware of Yuan Shao in the north and Sun and Liu in the south, which will be very passive.

And if you directly eat Henan and Hebei, you can do it once and for all. You only need to face Sun and Liu in the south. These two are not strong enough, and Lu Bu can easily handle them.

"While Cao Cao was destroyed by Yuan Shao, the army went out of Hangu Pass, passed Luoyang and Hulao Pass, and entered the Central Plains directly." Zhang Song said first.

"At the same time, send another large army to attack Yecheng, cut off Yuan Shao's food supply, and force Yuan Shao to return to rescue Hebei." Fazheng said immediately.

...0

"After spring, the Yellow River will thaw, so use Bingzhou as a springboard to block Yuan Shao on the north bank of the Yellow River, so that he cannot cross the river and return to Hebei." Yang Xiu added: "Even if the river crossing succeeds, we can still send cavalry to delay Yuan Shao's return to the army.

"The 500,000 army's food and grass consumption is terrible. If we run out of food, as long as we delay for a while, Yuan Shao's army will collapse."

"At that time, the two armies, one from the south and the other from the north, will attack Yuan Shao, and they will definitely be defeated in a civil war." Jia Xu made the final decision.

Lu Bu nodded again and again after hearing this. The plan negotiated by the adviser group is already very perfect.

Yuan Shao was asked to destroy Cao Cao, and Lu Bu went to attack Yuan Shao's rear. Yuan Shao returned to the army to rescue.

After a period of time, Yuan Shao's army will collapse immediately if they run out of food and grass. At that time, they will attack from the north and the south, and the battle will be successful.

Of course, it is very simple to say, but it will definitely be difficult in practice, and there will be many tough battles to fight.

For example, to prevent Yuan Shao's army from returning to Hebei, Yuan Shao has an army of 500,000, so it will definitely be very difficult to stop.

But the harvest is equally huge. Once this battle is successful, then Lu Bu will be able to occupy Hebei and Henan in one go, and take over half of the world.

Just when Lu Bu was about to give an order to the military to issue a combat policy, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Majesty save me! Your Majesty save me!"

The door of the government affairs hall was pushed open, and one person entered the hall accompanied by the wind and snow. .
