Cheng Yu frowned, "The problem now is how to get them to camp on low ground.
If this problem is not solved, I am afraid our plan will not be implemented. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde frowned, "That's true. If they occupy a high place, our plan will not be implemented."
Cheng Yu nodded, "My lord, according to you, the direction of the west city gate should be the lowest point in the terrain. As long as they are allowed to set up camp there, everything will go smoothly."
"West City Gate?"
Cao Mengde carefully recalled what those players said and nodded, "That's true. The west is flooded the most, and the terrain in the west should be the lowest."
Cheng Yu said slowly, "In this case, we must lead them to the west."
At this point, Cheng Yu paused, but then he continued without waiting for Cao Mengde to answer his words.
"The soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou Army should have come from the west. If there are no big surprises, they should attack from the direction of the west city gate. In this way, they will arrange their camp in the west direction, which is also the most advantageous. Possible things.
However, although this is the most likely, we have to guard against it. If they suddenly change direction, it will not be good. Therefore, we must keep them at the west gate. "
Cao Mengde frowned and thought for a while, "In that case, why not send troops to lead them to the west city gate?"
At this point, Cao Mengde was suddenly stunned because he remembered that he was not the only one who knew about this matter, but also Liu Xuande, a close friend.
Liu Xuande knew that water attack was the best way. Maybe he could guess that the west direction was the lowest place. In this case, would he still be willing to set up camp at the west gate?
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde frowned even more tightly. If Liu Xuande had really expected this, he would not have gone to the West City Gate anyway.
If Liu Xuande goes directly to the East City Gate, all the plans will be in vain.
Not only that, but because Liu Xuande knew about the flooding plan, he took action in advance to flood Xiapi City.
If that time really comes, Lu Bu's fate will probably be his own fate.
When Lu Bu was arrested, Liu Xuande was talking to him. If he was arrested, Liu Xuande would chop off his head without any hesitation.
Cheng Yu saw Cao Mengde frowning and asked tentatively, "Lord, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this?"
After hearing this, Cao Mengde reacted and said with a wry smile, "Zhongde, Liu Xuande has been in Xuzhou for a long time, maybe he will also know the situation here.
If he knew in advance that he would never go to the West City Gate and would definitely go in another direction, wouldn't our plan be impossible to implement? "
Hearing this, Cheng Yu also frowned. After a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, Liu Xuande may know, but the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, doesn't know.
In any case, these soldiers and horses were commanded by the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi. Liu Xuande's words didn't count. As long as the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, agreed to station outside the west city gate, Liu Xuande would never be able to change his mind. "
After hearing this, Cao Mengde felt relieved, and then suddenly said, "Zhongde, do you think Liu Xuande would dissuade Jingzhou eldest son Liu Qi from changing his direction if he knew about this?"
Cheng Yu thought about it carefully and then said slowly, "Lord, there are two possibilities for this matter. The first possibility is that he can tell. But after telling him, what benefit will it bring to Liu Xuande?"
"benefit?"
Cao Mengde was stunned, "Isn't it a benefit to recapture Xiapi City?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly sneered, "My lord, do you really think that after recapturing Xuzhou, Liu Xuande can still sit here?"
Hearing these words, Cao Mengde shook his head without hesitation, "Absolutely not. If they really attack Xuzhou, the person who occupies Xuzhou will definitely not be Liu Xuande, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou."
Cheng Yu nodded, "My lord, you are right. Even if Liu Xuande and others recapture Xuzhou, the army in Jingzhou is now strong. After Xuzhou is recaptured, the person who will occupy Xuzhou will probably be the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, not Liu Xuande." brother.
In this way, even if they take back Xuzhou now, they may not be of much benefit to Liu Xuande. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, "Zhongde, you are right, it is true. Now that Xuzhou is recaptured, the only person who can get Xuzhou is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou."
Cheng Yu nodded, "Liu Xuande looks loyal, but he is actually very cunning. If I expected it right, he has already seen this.
And this time he won't get any benefits, so why must he do it? "
Cao Mengde's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile, "Zhongde, do you mean that Liu Xuande won't talk about this matter?"
Cheng Yu nodded, "Lord, let's think about it, what would have happened if Liu Xuande hadn't said anything?"
At this point, Cheng Yu paused, but then he continued without waiting for Cao Mengde to answer his words.
"If Liu Xuande does not tell this matter, but lets the Jingzhou army and our army continue to fight, the best result is of course that both our armies will be defeated, and Liu Xuande can take advantage of it. Even if he recaptures Xuzhou, he may reoccupy it. Location.
So I think if Liu Xuande didn't say anything, it would be more beneficial to him. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, "Zhongde, you are right. If Liu Xuande tells this matter, we and the Jingzhou Army will not be able to fight to the death. When Xuzhou is recaptured, because of the strength of the Jingzhou Army, And reluctantly withdrew from Xuzhou.
So now it seems that only when our army and the Jingzhou Army fight with both sides lose, Liu Xuande can get the biggest advantage, and maybe he will take the opportunity to destroy the Jingzhou Army and completely occupy Xuzhou. "

Hearing this, Cheng Yu smiled and nodded, "My lord is right, it should be the case. If my prediction is correct, with Liu Xuande's cunning level, he naturally knows that it will be more beneficial to him if he doesn't say it. So he would never tell."
At this point, Cheng Yu paused, but then he continued without waiting for Cao Mengde to answer his words.
"Of course, Liu Xuande can't keep silent forever. Only when he thinks that both our armies are defeated will he reveal this method and use the strength of the Jingzhou Army to capture the city."
