Entering June, the weather is getting hotter again.
The three thousand black-armored soldiers under Lu Xuan's command have been completely formed and have become combat effective after expansion. The key to the expansion of the army lies in the original one thousand black armored soldiers. This is the most important thing. With these backbones, the black-armored soldiers will be able to fight.
In addition, there were 4,000 private soldiers, and Lu Xuan recruited another 3,000 ordinary soldiers.
After careful calculation, Lu Xuan had a total of 10,000 troops at his disposal. If there is a shortage of troops, Lu Xuan can continue to recruit.
The army is on the right track, Zhang Zhao is taking the lead in the government affairs of Lujiang County, and all matters are progressing in an orderly manner.
Everything is developing steadily.
Now just wait for Yuan Shu to come.
Lu Xuan didn't need to worry about various things. He could enjoy singing and dancing at his house when he had free time.
The person playing the piano is Da Qiao.
The dancer is Xiao Qiao.
Originally, there were only two people, Lu Xuan and Da Qiao, playing in the backyard. Da Qiao played the piano and Lu Xuan listened to music. They lived in a very comfortable world. It's just that this girl Xiao Qiao is here. She comes here every now and then and spends a lot of time at the Lu family.
When Xiao Qiao saw Da Qiao playing the piano, he immediately proposed to dance for fun.
So, there is this scene.
Lu Xuan supported his chin with his hand, tilted his head, and looked at the dancing Xiao Qiao.
It was very hot in June. Xiao Qiao's white dress was very thin and belted, which completely highlighted her slender legs and graceful waist. In particular, Xiao Qiao has a gentle posture and very flexible body, like a white willow in the wind, and her every move is very moving.
Lu Xuan's eyes turned and fell on Da Qiao who was playing the piano.
After Da Qiao and Lu Xuan got married, a period of time passed and they became even more charming and charming. Even while sitting and playing the piano, you can still see Da Qiao's fiery figure.
Lu Xuan thought in his heart.
Da Qiao is two or three years older, and his figure is completely different. Although Xiao Qiao's embryo can be seen to be beautiful and beautiful, it is still growing and needs further development. It is estimated that in two years, he will be able to keep up with Da Qiao.
"Lord!"
At this moment, the sound of urn and urn came.
Zhou Tai strode in.
Wearing armor, without squinting, he strode up to Lu Xuan and reported: "My lord, Zhang Zhao said that he received Xu Shao's letter and asked you to discuss the matter immediately."
"knew."
Lu Xuan stood up and said, "Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, I'm in a hurry, you can play by yourself."
After finishing speaking, Lu Xuan strode away.
Da Qiao looked normal as he watched Lu Xuan leave. Xiao Qiao looked at Lu Xuan leaving with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
She hasn't finished her dance yet.
Lu Xuan strode to the study, and Zhang Zhao handed over Xu Shao's letter and reported: "My lord, Xu Shao sent back a letter saying that Yuan Shu is heading south with 30,000 elite troops and is heading towards our Lujiang County."
"This time, Xu Shao is also coming with us."
"Yuan Shu is surrounded by Chief Yan Xiang, Chang Shi Yang Hong, and generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui. The lineup is not bad."
"Of Yuan Shu's 30,000 elites, 20,000 are Yuan Shu's direct descendants, and 10,000 are newly recruited soldiers. In addition, when Yuan Shu went south, he had already sent General Zhang Xun and led 6,000 elites as the vanguard to take the first step. Enter Lujiang County."
Zhang Zhao looked serious and said: "Yuan Shu said that he will not stop his troops until Lujiang is destroyed this time."
Lu Xuan showed a smile on his face and said: "I'm still a little disappointed that he doesn't come. It's just the right time for him to come. It is said that there are 30,000 people, but in fact, only 20,000 people have combat effectiveness. We are fighting locally, so we have 10,000 people to fight against With the 30,000 men on Yuan Shu, I have the advantage."
Zhang Zhao said: "I agree with you. At present, all the supplies such as food, grass, equipment, etc. are ready and can be mobilized at any time."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "These things are all part of the humble position."
Lu Xuan arranged for someone to notify Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci to discuss the matter. When the two arrived, Lu Xuan talked about Yuan Shu's southward march and said seriously: "We discussed before that Yuan Shu's army went south. At first, we were not sure how much Yuan Shu had. People, it is now confirmed that Yuan Shu’s strength is 30,000. How should we face the enemy with 10,000 people? This issue can be finalized."
Zhang Zhao said as always: "My lord, I still recommend that the same strategy should be adopted. Just like the last time we wiped out Sun Ce, sit back and wait for the enemy to fight in Shu County. We will first rely on Shu County to resist, and then counterattack."
This is what Zhang Zhao suggested when discussing strategies before.
Zhou Yu objected: "My lord, my humble opinion remains unchanged. I believe that the battlefield should be placed on the front line. This battle is different from the previous one. There is no need to shrink. We have ten thousand elites and well-trained soldiers."
"Although Yuan Shu has 30,000 men, we still have enough advantages. Moreover, we are blocking Yuan Shu on the front line and have enough retreat."
"Even if the frontline battle is unfavorable, we can continue to block attacks and continuously weaken Yuan Shu."
"At the beginning, Sun Ce's troops were not too large. Even if he surrounded Shu County, it was useless. Yuan Shu was different. He had too many troops. It would be a pity if we gave up all the territory on the front line. This is not a wise decision. .”
Zhou Yu said: "My lord, please think twice."
Zhang Zhao said firmly: "The city of Shu County is strong and has sufficient food and grass. We are not afraid of Yuan Shu's 30,000 people."
The two sides argued, and their eyes fell on Lu Xuan.
Everything still depends on Lu Xuan’s decision.
Lu Xuan smiled softly. He had also considered it and said with a smile: "I think we can deceive Yuan Shu and make him mistakenly believe that we are still staying in Shu County and adopt the same strategy as we used to deal with Sun Ce."
"This requires Mr. Zibu to lead a small number of people to create the illusion that I am staying in Shu County to face the enemy."
"Our elites are going to the front line to attack Yuan Shu. Especially Yuan Shu arranged for 6,000 elites to be the vanguard. I will hide my whereabouts first, eat Zhang Xun's 6,000 people, and give Yuan Shu a heads-up."
"Then, fight Yuan Shu on the front line."
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said: "Xu Shao's letter said that Yuan Shu is arrogant and looks down on me. In this case, we will use his arrogant nature to give him another surprise."
Zhou Yu said happily: "My lord is wise."
Seeing that Lu Xuan had made a decision, Zhang Zhao no longer objected. As long as the strategy was decided, he wanted to implement it.
If you continue to refute, it will only increase your troubles.
Moreover, it also increases internal friction.
Zhang Zhao said sternly: "My lord has decided, just obey your orders. The food and grass will be delivered, and there won't be any problems."
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Zhou Yu, and ordered: "Gong Jin, mobilize all the troops and coordinate the overall situation. Taishi Ci is responsible for leading the black armored soldiers. An hour later, we led the army and quietly left Shu County. More The strategy for further dealing with Zhang Xun should be formulated as we go, and a strategy with a general direction is enough."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Zhou Yu and Tai Shici answered together.
Lu Xuan said again: "Mr. Zibu, it is not easy to fake that I am in the rear and there are signs of a large army. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Zhao said confidently: "Please rest assured, my lord, and promise to complete the mission."
After the specific arrangements were made, Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci and Zhang Zhao went about their business.
Lu Xuan returned to the palace and met Lu Kang first. He told Lu Kang that he was going to fight Yuan Shu and asked Lu Kang to take care of the palace.
Then, Lu Xuan returned to the backyard.
Both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are here.
Lu Xuan did not hide anything and directly told Da Qiao that he would go north soon. Da Qiao took out Lu Xuan's armor, helped Lu Xuan put it on, and put on his sword. After everything was done, Da Qiao asked: "My husband must pay attention to safety when he is away from home. I am waiting for my husband to return."
Lu Xuan nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Xiao Qiao took over and said, "I'm also going home and going out with my brother-in-law."
Lu Xuan nodded, said goodbye to Da Qiao, and left the yard with Xiao Qiao. When passing through the backyard corridor, there was no one around. Xiao Qiao suddenly stopped, stretched out his slender and soft hand from his sleeve, handed it to Lu Xuan, and said, "Brother-in-law, this is for you."
This is also a sachet, quite delicate.
Lu Xuan took it with a smile, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "I accept your idea, thank you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiao approached Lu Xuan and suddenly stepped forward and kissed Lu Xuan's face.
A gust of fragrant wind rippled, and Xiao Qiao left in an instant. She had already carried her skirt and flew away with a blushing face. Only Xiao Qiao's voice was left: "Brother-in-law, when you come back safely, I will dance alone." show you."
