In the Chinese military camp.
Lu Yun pointed at the sand table with his finger and conducted an analysis on the four provinces on the sand table, that is, the four main states.
"You generals should have seen that I will arrive in Taizhou soon, and the other party should also be prepared early. After all, this is their first line of defense. The four southeastern provinces are now united, and their strength is naturally very strong. not simple."
"Do you have any good plans?"
Everyone present looked at me, and I looked at you, looking very surprised.
On the contrary, it was Xu Sanwa, who was a reckless man, who shouted angrily.
"What are you afraid of? Can't you just hit them directly? What kind of alliance between the four southeastern provinces has anything to do with us."
"It's just an egg hitting a stone. We represent the soldiers of the imperial court. Can we still be afraid of them?"
This is true, but... Lu Yun wants to reduce the losses on his side.
Fighting relies on brains, not brute force.
Lu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Xu Sanwa, General Xu, can you use your brain? Is this how a war is fought? Although it is true to be brave before, but it also requires the existence of a strategy."
"Did you say the same thing, General, when we were brainstorming ideas during the war?"
Xu Sanwa was extremely embarrassed. When the general was fighting, she really had to listen carefully to the general's discussion of strategies.
"Does any of you have any specific information about the alliance among these four states?"
At this time, Shangguan Yan stood up hurriedly and explained.
"I know that when they first rebelled in the four southeastern provinces, it was because of military generals that they rebelled, so their current leaders are also military generals from various places."
"Actually, they are just soldiers from some places."
"These soldiers rebelled very quickly. The local city guards, police officers, etc. were basically useless."
"And later they began to unite together and formed an alliance of the four southeastern provinces, among which there were four generals."
"They restrict each other, and each leads his own troops together. Naturally, their strength is very different."
"Eunuch Lu, they are Wang Sheng, the chief general of Taizhou, Li Jing, the chief general of Ningzhou, and Xu Shanbao of Anzhou."
"The strength of these three generals is not much different, and the fourth one is naturally Zhou Zhengtian of Liyue City."
"Not only does he have strong soldiers and horses, but more importantly, he is also an eighth-grade master! In addition, he is also very good at war strategies. He was once under the command of my father, General Zhennan! "
"The General, as the head of our generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, has been very angry since he found out about this and wanted to eradicate Zhou Zhengtian!"
"This is why he would rather risk his life to lead troops on an expedition."
"..."
Hearing this, Lu Yun also reacted, no wonder it was like this. However, is this Zhou Zhengzhen really that powerful?
General Zhennan?
It seems that I should be more careful. It is extremely difficult to deal with these people. They should have received the news recently.
"Everyone, I believe that if we want to defeat them, we can only attack them wisely!"
"Now that they have formed an alliance and brought together their own soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses are there in Taizhou now?"
Shangguan Yan hurriedly explained, "As for Eunuch Lu, there are now fifty thousand soldiers and horses in Taizhou!"
"Oh?" Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. There were quite few people here. Compared with the army he led, it was quite weak.
However, this time he was fighting against the rebellion in the four southeastern provinces. If he was only dealing with a single Taizhou, then this matter would not be too simple!
But he also needs to consider the loss of troops and horses, and the loss of his soldiers.
If he ignores any consequences in this battle and forcibly captures Taizhou City, it will only make it more and more difficult later, and then he will have no choice but to be beaten back to his hometown and the capital.
If he really went back in such a dejected state, Lu Yun would definitely be extremely ashamed. He felt that it would be better to commit suicide.
"At the beginning, he only had 30,000 troops and horses under his command. People from the other three states combined lent him another 20,000 troops and horses. After all, Taizhou is the first natural barrier and is also very important."
"But don't worry, Eunuch Lu. It sounds like there are 50,000 troops. In fact, the number of actual combatants is probably only 30,000 to 40,000, and many of them are temporary conscripts."
Lu Yun suddenly realized that even the temporary conscription of soldiers and horses was a considerable loss to him.
A detailed battle plan must be made.
"Eunuch Lu, after analyzing so much just now, do you have a solution?"
Xu Sanwa and a group of generals behind him were all waiting for the final instruction. Can Eunuch Lu do it? Could it be that once you get to the battlefield, you can only talk on paper?
Lu Yun looked very calm, frowning and said, "Why are you so anxious? What's the use of being anxious!"
"My father-in-law, aren't you thinking of a solution?"
"They are an alliance of four companies. If we disintegrate their alliance from the inside, it will be like digging into a bag to get rid of them. It won't take much effort."
"What do you think?"
Everyone present nodded. They had no objections to such a plan. It was indeed a good way to dismantle the other party from within, but how to dismantle it...
Xu Sanwa snorted coldly and asked helplessly: "Eunuch Lu, I know you want to disintegrate the alliance between them from within, but what are you going to do?"
"Do you really want them to fight on their own? Is that possible?"
Lu Yun frowned. This was indeed a very difficult question. He looked at Shangguan Yan aside.
"For these four people, do you have detailed information about them?"
"We need to analyze it carefully. You can go down first."
"yes!"
After a while, Shangguan Yan personally wrote down a detailed profile of the three of them and presented it to the desk.
Lu Yun took a careful look at Zhou Zhengtian, the current actual controller of Liyue City.
He is good at everything, but he has a fatal weakness: he loves beautiful women and is suspicious by nature.
After so many years, this temper has never changed.
Love beautiful women?
This is a big weakness. If you can send a beautiful woman to confuse Zhou Zhengtian and make him happy all day long, it is completely feasible.
The more important point is that this person is suspicious by nature, so can he use countermeasures?
Among the thirty-six strategies, the beauty trap and the counter-intentional strategy are both very useful and easy to understand.
Lu Yun thought of this and immediately formulated a plan, which was to drive a wedge between the two parties, make the four of them fall into mutual suspicion, and create some internal conflicts for them...
In this way, the four of them will be alienated from each other and will not be able to continue fighting with themselves!
