Returning to Guangling City, Sun Quan immediately held a military meeting. The first question he asked was the question he cared about most.
"Where is Lu Bu's army now? How much time does it take to reach Guangling?"
First of all, the time of arrival of Lu Bu's army must be determined, so that Sun Quan can know where the bottom line is for his constant testing every day. Don't try to simulate 80% of the result in a fantasy world, thinking that it will be implemented in two days, but suddenly find that there is no chance. Moreover, this is not only the bottom line for the fantasy simulation, but also the bottom line for Sun Quan to deal with Lu Bu's army if he is still unable to deal with it. War is not a child's play. Sun Quan does not prepare himself alone and the troops prepare.
"We have always sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Lu Bu's army. This time, Lu Bu suddenly came with a small group of cavalry and escaped the scouts' detection, allowing them to rush forward. As expected, Lu Bu's army is still near its original location. , Of course, I will find someone to confirm this later." Wu Jing replied.
Sun Quan thought about it. Ever since he captured Guangling, he had been paying attention to Lu Bu's army. If he was still at the same place, that is to say,
"Normally it takes three to five days to get to Guangling?"
"That's normal."
Wu Jing nodded,
"But if we march in a hurry, we might be able to arrive in two days." Wu Jing said.
Hearing this, Sun Quan's face darkened. This would be quite bad. If Lu Bu's army really arrived in two days, it meant that tomorrow might be Sun Quan's last chance. Of course, even if it develops normally, Sun Quan will not have too many opportunities.
However, just when Sun Quan was feeling a little worried, Wu Jing changed his tone and said again,
"However, if Lu Bu really planned to send a large army to attack the border directly, there is really no need for him to rush over with a small group of cavalry first. Therefore, according to my guess, Lu Bu may not want to spend too much time attacking Guangling, so he deliberately came to attack us first. morale, I hope we will retreat when the opportunity arises."
"oh?"
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows,
"It means that Lu Bu may not only not march in a hurry, but also deliberately slow down the army, putting us under psychological pressure day by day."
"That's it." Wu Jing nodded and said, "Of course, Lu Bu will not go too far. After all, he still has to guard against our Jiangdong reinforcements. Therefore, according to my guess, even if Lu Bu's army is slow, it will at most be We will definitely arrive within fifteen days. About ten days is probably the most likely."
"very good!"
Sun Quan's eyes lit up. This would give him more opportunities.
"However, all this is just our speculation. We can't take anything for granted. No matter what, we have recently sent more people out to keep an eye on Lu Bu's movements. Lu Bu actually dared to come here with only these people this time, and His army is still so far away from here. Could it be that he really thinks that we dare not leave the city, so he is not afraid that we will make dumplings for him?" Sun Quan said cautiously.
Wu Jing frowned slightly. He had never thought of this just now.
"Zhong Mou, you are right. In addition to these thousand cavalry, Lu Bu must have another army secretly ambushing not far away. Once we go to war and attack rashly, we may fall into Lu Bu's ambush. "Wu Jing agreed.
"Such a team is almost bound to exist. Therefore, we must find out the specific location of this team and determine their number. If possible, destroy this army as well!" Sun Quan said in a loud voice. .
"Zhongmou, in my opinion, it's better for us to be on the safe side, okay?" Wu Jing said tactfully. He obviously didn't agree with Sun Quan's idea. In Wu Jing's eyes, although Sun Quan didn't like to charge into battle as much as Sun Ce, Sun Quan His style of leading troops is also quite radical. These Sun family members think about how to attack all day long, but never think about solid defense.
Siege battles are never easy to fight, so what if the opponent is Lu Bu? With Guangling backed by the Yangtze River, Lu Bu's army did not dare to surround it on all sides. Guangling had sufficient supplies and support from Jiangdong. Lu Bu could not attack for a long time and had no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoke would still be eyeing his Xuzhou. Wu Jing speculated that as long as they could guard it for a month, Guangling would be safe. So there is really no need to risk a head-on fight with Lu Bu.
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't take action easily unless I'm completely sure."
Sun Quan replied. He understood what Wu Jing was thinking, because without the Let Me Think Twice skill, Sun Quan himself might be more cautious than Wu Jing.
Wu Jing couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing,
"There is no absolute certainty in war. In many cases, being able to secure the upper hand is pretty good."
"..."
Sun Quan was suddenly silent for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he murmured in a low voice,
"What uncle said is indeed reasonable. I seem to be obsessed with it."
Wu Jing was stunned, and for a moment he didn't quite understand what Sun Quan meant. Listening to Sun Quan's tone, he was really confident before taking action? How can this be! Look at how many things Sun Quan has experienced along the way. Not to mention that he is not completely sure of many things, it would be good to be even half sure! In the end, Wu Jing could only attribute it to Sun Quan's polite words.
Wu Jing didn't know that his words really gave Sun Quan a big reminder, clearing away the heavy fog in Sun Quan's eyes and making him feel suddenly enlightened.
Because of his ability to think twice, Sun Quan is used to thinking twice before making any decisions. Sun Quan will not rush into anything important without first making sure it is done. So gradually, Sun Quan became a little paranoid and pursued perfectionism.
To use an analogy, it is like taking a general exam in later generations. After the exam, the teacher immediately announces the answers. Sun Quan always has a mentality. Since he can see the answer in advance, why not memorize the answer and get a perfect score naturally? But in fact, in order to write down all the answers, Sun Quan may have to use many skills, and it will be very laborious. If you just take a rough look and grasp some high-scoring questions and error-prone questions, you only need to use the skill once, and it is easy, and you don’t have to work too hard. In the end, you can get more than 90 points out of 100 points. What’s the point? Not for?
Even today, it is the same. Sun Quan wanted to defeat Lu Bu at every turn, and even wanted to kill Lu Bu directly. Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the world and one of the most difficult bosses to defeat. Could Sun Quan have set his goal too high when he first arrived?
What if we settle for the next best thing and just let Lu Bu retreat in spite of the difficulties?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan suddenly felt more confident. For the current Sun Quan, if he wants to defeat Lu Bu who went berserk after being injured, Sun Quan's success rate is only about 10%. And the 10% success rate may not be achieved after several days of simulation. Even if you get good luck, you said it was good luck. If you put it into reality and let Sun Quan do it again, he would also It may not be possible.
