Chapter 308: Long Military Advisor
The peach garden is full of friendship and the sky is thin, the moon is dying and the green dragon's blade is cold. -------Anonymous "Seven Rhymes Ode to Guan Gong"
Speaking of which, Wu Anguo and Zhang Niujiao each took out their own hammers, and they seemed to hate each other. Longzhu landed ashore and was appointed as a military advisor by Zhang Yan to coordinate the battle in the Central Plains. Until this time, Zhang Yan sent troops nominally to capture Jizhou.
Zhang Yan summoned Chen Long alone and took the opportunity to replace the substitute arranged by Chen Long. Guan Yu was sent to the front line and remained unaware of Long Zhu's movements. Because of the relationship between Liu Bei and Tai Shici, Chen Long transformed into a dragon ball and went to Hongshan City. After killing Liu Bei, he also brought back Wu Anguo; even if Guan Yu had doubts in the future, it can be said that he was a slave to Zhang Yan. The general's order.
Taishi Ci felt uneasy and naturally chased Longzhu to ask. At that time, Zhou Buyi, who was dressed as a dragon, was beside him. He smiled and asked Taishi Ci: "Ziyi, now Commander Zhang Yan only has 200,000 men and ships, and the ships are barely enough. You might as well follow your idea. If you want to go How should we plan our troops to attack Qingzhou and Yanzhou?"
Taishi Ci had also read some military books, and when he heard this he said happily: "It turns out that the military advisor Long Da is already planning this matter. According to the current location of the 200,000-strong army and the geography of the Qing and Yan continents around the Yellow River, I think we should first Go down the Yellow River, land at a suitable location, capture several Yanzhou counties on the south bank of the Yellow River controlled by Cao Cao's troops, and establish an army supply base. As long as this is successful, Cao Cao's plan to attack Qingzhou will inevitably be shaken by the rear And fail. When the time comes to advance or retreat, you can make plans again."
Chen Long couldn't help but nod and smile, Zhou Buyi also smiled and said: "Ziyi is a rare general! However, around the Yellow River surrounded by powerful enemies, which counties should be captured as bases? Has Ziyi done any research?"
Taishi Ci was speechless for a moment and said: "Well... Please forgive me for being stupid. I really don't have any idea about the landing place. But I think if you are too close to the big city where the enemy's heavy troops are, you will be easily attacked when you land. After all, That’s when the defense is at its weakest.”
Zhou Buyi nodded and said: "Every inch of land in the Central Plains must be fought for, and it is really not easy to choose a landing place. If you can't find no man's land, you have to look for weak links. What Ziyi said is right."
"But, from another perspective, if we only capture a few small counties, it may be difficult for 200,000 soldiers to gain a foothold."
"Therefore, the several big cities along the Yellow River are our military targets. Ziyi, I believe you must be familiar with these big cities, Chenliu, Puyang, Dingtao, Shanyang, and Jinan. They are along the Yellow River. The further away, the closer it is to Changyi, Cao Cao's seat of Yanzhou, but the more difficult it is to supply, the stranger the surrounding environment, and the more hostile troops behind it. If you are not careful, the army may be cut off from the supply line and fall into a tight siege. "
Taishi Ci nodded slightly, and suddenly said in shock: "What Mr. Long Zhou said, does it mean that we can only take Chen Liulu Bu first?"
The nearest big city to Mengjin Ferry, besides Luoyang, is Chenliu outside Hulao Pass. Zhou Bujie said that the large army base cannot be risked to be set too far away, so Taishi Ci easily thought of Chenliu and Lu Bu. Taishi Ci pondered and added: "Chenliu is an isolated city, but I heard that Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian were riding a red rabbit horse and held a halberd in the palm of their hand. He was brave enough to be worthy of all men. Even Cao Cao did not dare to offend him easily, leaving Chen Liu alone. Hanging outside Yanzhou until now. If we go to attack Chenliu like this, encountering Lu Bu's firm resistance, it will inevitably take a long time. By then, Cao Cao has already broken through Beihai and has the troops of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, so we will lose It’s time to save Qingzhou.”
What he said made sense. Zhou Bujie did not refute it. It was Chen Long's turn to say: "Let's ignore the difficulties of attacking Chenliu first and talk about the benefits of seizing Chenliu as a base. First of all, Lu Bu is an isolated city, surrounded by The forces of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao happened to be involved in a war at this time, and there was no time to pay attention to him. Secondly, although Lu Bu was brave, he did not have many soldiers. We calculated that the number of soldiers he could support was only between 100,000 and 15,000. Between 10,000 and 40,000 people, the truly powerful combat force was the Bingzhou cavalry he brought out, which was only between 30,000 and 40,000. Furthermore, if Chen Liu was defeated, there was no need to worry about Yuan Shu sending troops from Hulao Pass. He was busy dealing with them. Wang Yue and Huang Gongfu, and even Zhao Zilong; don't worry about Yuan Benchu, he is busy dealing with Gongsun Zan; we can wholeheartedly deal with Cao Cao's troops on the Yanzhou Plain, and compared with Puyang, Chen Liu is on the south bank of the Yellow River. You don’t have to rush across the river to fight, and troop mobilization will be much easier.”
Taishi Ci nodded frequently as he listened. Mr. Long was really extraordinary. He explained the many benefits of occupying Chenliu in just a few strokes. Long Zhou then smiled and said: "The supply line is also short. Bingzhou supplies can be continuously transported to Chenliu through Mengjin." When you get ashore, you don’t have to worry about someone coming to cut off the supply line, which is really a lot of benefits.”
Taishi Ci's blood surged when he heard this, and he stood up and said: "Master Long, please give the order! I, Taishi Ci, am willing to be the vanguard. Let me meet Lu Fengxian's Fang Tian Hua Ji!"
Chen Long and Zhou Buyi both laughed. Before they could open their mouths to praise Tai Shici's courage, a voice like a bell suddenly came from the door: "Little Lu Bu, what's so scary? No one in this vanguard can compete with me!"
When everyone looked up together, Guan Yunchang, a tall and powerful man dressed in green, appeared at the entrance of the Xuan Hall, followed by Wu Anguo and Zhang Niujiao. Guan Yu didn't have a weapon in his hand, but Chen Long's heart trembled. He didn't expect Guan Yunchang to come back at this time, and he didn't know what Wu Anguo said to him.
Chen Long pretended to be overjoyed and saw that although Guan Yu said something majestic, there were tears on his face. He knew that Wu Anguo had already talked to him, and Guan Yu might have known about Liu Bei. Longzhu extended his hand and invited several generals into the hall. They sat in a circle. Chen Long and Zhou Buji sat down, and their men served each general a cup of fragrant tea.
Chen Long asked Guan Yu in a deep voice: "Yunchang, you came back from the front line. A lot of things happened when you last menstruated." This sentence naturally refers to his sworn elder brother, who has become a vegetative state. tragedy.
Guan Yufeng closed his eyes slightly and said: "Master Military Advisor, I heard from Wu Anguo that after my eldest brother was assassinated, you and Ziyi went to Hongshan and saved your eldest brother's life. Later, you sent your eldest brother to the doctor Hua in the rear for training. This matter I'm grateful. But I originally wanted to go to the rear to reunite with my elder brother, and I wanted to say goodbye to you, the military advisor, so I came here." As he said this, Feng Yan opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Chen Long hesitantly.
Chen Long listened to Guan Yu's words and naturally did not interrupt. As expected, Guan Yu continued: "But why did the great military advisor go to Jizhou? Is there any news about my third brother?" These words could not be more obvious. He still wanted to go to Longzhu. Jizhou became suspicious. After all, Liu Bei was assassinated and the assassin has not been found yet.
Chen Long knew that he could not hesitate at this time and said: "Yun Chang also knows that my beloved wife is still in Jizhou. I have always been worried. I have long mentioned to Marshal Zhang that I want to pick up my family. This time I will attack Jizhou again. It just so happened that I also went to inquire about all kinds of information, so I could kill two birds with one stone. So I concealed my identity and went secretly. Who would have thought that when I met Tai Shici on the road, I would know that Uncle Liu Huang was in Hongshan and was seriously injured, so he hurried to Hongshan to rescue him. With what happened next, it’s a pity that Uncle Liu Huang was seriously injured, so I had to have someone escort him to Divine Doctor Hua for treatment. I’m afraid only Divine Doctor Hua can cure him in this world.”
Taishi Ci nodded frequently, confirming Chen Long's words. Guan Yufeng's eyes seemed to be closed, and he sighed slightly: "I can't thank you enough! I wanted to go to the eldest brother's side immediately and never leave, but the third brother is still missing. Long It's time for the Great Military Advisor to hire people again, so I can't just leave like this. After all, my life was saved by Military Advisor Long." Guan said a little sadly, and finally said: "I think regarding Brother's side, since Military Advisor Long has made all the arrangements , will definitely receive the best care." After Guan Yu said these words, he closed his eyes tightly. Who knows whether he truly believed in Chen Long, or whether the matter had come to this point and killing Chen Long would not help. He said something against his will, gained Chen Long's trust for the time being, and then slowly investigated the real cause of his eldest brother's death? This is truly a riddle for the ages.
Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard Guan Yu's statement, and said calmly: "Of course! Uncle Liu Huang is also someone I admire. Even if I don't have Yun Chang's relationship, I will still take care of him. If Yun Chang can come and help me, I will naturally You are very welcome. I have heard about the story of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu. Yun Chang is Lu Bu’s strong enemy. Your decision can be said to be a timely help."
Guan Yunchang heard Chen Long talk about the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu. The passion for the three brothers fighting Lu Bu was still there. He thought that now he didn't know whether his eldest brother was alive or dead, and the third brother was still alive or dead. He felt very sad and couldn't help but sigh heavily. He was proud and no longer willing to express his sorrow easily. Although he felt uncomfortable, he could only bear it silently.
Chen Long knew Guan Yu's strengths and was also very aware of Guan Yu's weaknesses. Therefore, with Guan Yu's current status, he could not be directly allowed to become General Zhengyin. Chen Long then ordered: "Since all the generals are here, I will announce that we and Ziyi just made a plan. The first goal is to capture Chenliu Lu Bu."
All the generals pricked up their ears and listened carefully this time, and Guan Yu was no exception. Chen Long continued: "Mengjin Ferry is a supply center and a home base for navy ships. It is very important. Although Yuan Shu has too much time to take care of himself, we must guard against his sneak attacks. Therefore, Marshal Zhang decided that he would personally lead his direct troops to guard Mengjin and fight against Chen Liu's I, Longzhu, will be the coach."
Everyone was excited after hearing this. After all, all these generals knew what Longzhu was capable of. Just listen to Marshal Long continue: "Long Zhou is the chief military advisor of this expedition to Lu Bu, responsible for the planning of large and small battles. Zhang Niujiao, you are familiar with the operations of the Black Mountain Army. Please excuse me first. You are responsible for the transportation and deployment of grain, grass and baggage, and the logistics supply line." Establish it first, and when the war starts I will find someone to replace you."
Zhang Niujiao was noncommittal and shrugged as an agreement. Chen Long also assigned: "Taishi Ziyi is the main vanguard, Guan Yunchang is the deputy vanguard, and they will lead 30,000 troops. They will first go to open up the forward positions and prepare for the landing of the army at Chenliu. You must not underestimate the enemy's rash advance. If anyone underestimates the enemy's rash advance, it will cause the formation of troops." Loss shall be dealt with in accordance with military law!”
Everyone stood up and agreed. Guan Yu knew that Taishi Ci was a court official in Qingzhou, with a much higher position than himself, and he was his deputy, so he didn't say anything. I just couldn't help but murmur in my heart, wondering how this Taishi Ci's martial arts compares to his third brother?
Seeing that Wu Anguo hadn't clicked on him, he couldn't help but look up at Chen Long. Chen Long smiled and said: "Wu Anguo, I don't have a general by my side for the time being. How about you follow my army and be my general to protect the army?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
