Lu Xuan looked around at the crowd and said proactively: "I called you all here today. It was Guan Yu who sent the news. He was attacked by an unknown army in Suraduo City to the west of Southern Xiangzhou."
"This army has cavalry and infantry, and the number is still increasing."
"The opponent's troops are very elite."
"Guan Yu also suffered defeat twice during the battle with his opponent."
Lu Xuan put his hands on the desk and said in a deep voice: "I think that the other party is most likely the Roman Empire army from the west of Europe. Only the Roman Empire has such strength."
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened.
He had long wanted to fight the empire to the west, but the expansion of the Ming Dynasty had to start from the countries surrounding the imperial court. Seizing countries one by one requires enough time and enough talents to govern them.
To expand externally, it is impossible to bypass areas such as the Western Regions and Tianzhu.
Now, the other party is taking the initiative to kill.
This is opportunity.
Cao Cao stood up abruptly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am asking for a battle, and I am willing to take the initiative to go to Suratra City and join the battle with General Guan. The armies of the European and Roman Empire dare to fight against our country. They are really bold and should be completely annihilated."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "If the Roman Empire's army had come earlier and still posed some threat to us, they could have supported the Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles of India. These people have only come now. It is already too late. This is ours. Chance."
Lu Su looked calm and said confidently: "Your Majesty, in the past few months, Xiangzhou's internal affairs have been sorted out. The structure established this time is not bottom-up, but top-down, from coarse to detailed."
"We have established county-level structures in Tianzhu, Guizhou, Beixiangzhou, and Nanxiangzhou. Further, we are establishing and controlling local villages and towns, and are strengthening the control of sinking."
"In terms of materials and food, we are already plentiful."
"Enough for us to fight a war."
Lu Su said: "I believe that under the current situation, we have the strength and ability to fight a big war. No matter what, there is no problem at all if Your Majesty wants to fight the European and Roman armies."
Guo Jia took over again and said, "Your Majesty, I still have some ideas about this battle."
Lu Xuan asked: "What are Fengxiao's plans?"
Guo Jia replied: "To the west of Tianzhu is the vast sea. All European and Roman troops have landed, and there are very many of them. This means that their consumption of materials is very huge."
"I believe that we first deliberately allowed the other party to enter the hinterland of Xiangzhou, and then cut off the other party's retreat."
"Then, surround the opponent."
"Strapping the opponent to death directly."
Guo Jia explained: "The reason for this is to control the army entering Tianzhu. If they attack head-on and hurt the opponent, they will evacuate Tianzhu and escape quickly."
"Even, they will return to Europe and Rome itself. Next, Europe and Rome will send troops to fight, and they will be more prepared."
"But he took the initiative to show weakness and allowed the other party to seize a few cities."
"This will lower the other party's guard."
"As long as the opponent fully logs in and enters the center of Tianzhu, it will be easy to trap the opponent to death."
Guo Jia analyzed: "As long as we can understand the route of Europe and Rome, understand the other party's shipbuilding skills, and understand the other party's situation, it is absolutely necessary to arrest these people. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to gain insight into opportunities and know ourselves and the enemy. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to recklessly go to war with Europe and Rome."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Feng Xiao's analysis makes sense, we can arrange it this way."
He looked at Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Lu Su and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Su said: "I second the proposal."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Feng Xiao's arrangement is good. However, with this strategy, we can only show weakness first and let Guan Yu retreat. Your Majesty, if this is the strategy, I will not go to the front."
There was no fighting on the front line, so Cao Cao lost interest.
There's no point in losing a battle.
Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, we now know something about the situation in the Roman Empire. In fact, we are not very clear about it. We must understand the situation."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "In that case, I will arrange for someone to notify Guan Yu to retreat voluntarily and give up part of the city to be captured by the European and Roman people. On the one hand, we will take a look at the other party's governance; on the other hand, we will understand the other party's situation. .”
"Besides, it's time for us to send troops."
"When a lion fights a rabbit, you still need to go all out."
"This time, more elite troops will be dispatched to support the retreating Guan Yu. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it will be uncontrollable."
Lu Xuan is not careless when doing things.
At present, Europe's overall strength is stronger than in history. It must first understand the opponent's situation to avoid being uncontrollable.
"Report!"
At this moment, Xu Chu entered again.
Xu Chu looked anxious and reported: "Your Majesty, Lu Rong, the governor of Guizhou in the north, has sent an urgent letter, asking your Majesty to send troops for reinforcements."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
Very surprised.
In the Guizhou region in the north, Lanshi City was first governed by Xun Yu, so it stands to reason that nothing could go wrong.
Why did it collapse first?
Actually asked for help.
Lu Xuan took the letter and browsed it. When he read the contents of the letter, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and soon his expression became serious again.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Guizhou did encounter a big problem. The Parthian Empire to the west of Guizhou sent troops to attack. It had a large number of troops. At first, Lu Rong recruited soldiers to resist, but they were defeated. In the end, Lu Rong could only hold on to Lan's City. , waiting for rescue.”
After talking about the situation in the north, Lu Xuan's eyes became serious.
The world situation has changed drastically.
In other words, it is now a pot of porridge.
The original Parthian Empire entered a period of decline at this stage, just as Kushan had experienced turmoil and entered the end of the dynasty. Now, the Parthian Empire was able to consolidate its forces, directly invade the border of Guizhou, and enter the Guizhou region, forcing Lu Rong to defend Lan City.
Everything is different.
Lu Xuan doesn't know the specific situation for the time being.
Cao Cao also looked solemn and asked: "Your Majesty, is there any more information about the Parthian Empire?"
"Not yet!"
Lu Xuan shook his head.
Cao Cao looked solemn and said: "It will be very troublesome without knowing the opponent's intelligence. The plan must be adjusted. In addition, the strategy against the Roman Empire that was just drawn up must also be adjusted."
"First of all, everyone must rush to help and fight directly."
"To the west of us, there is the army of the European Roman Empire, and to the north there is the army of the Parthian Empire. I think we will fight at the same time, and each will appoint a commander to ensure the smooth advancement of the two armies."
Cao Cao said: "Stop luring the Roman Empire's troops in, fight directly on two fronts, and win on both fronts at the same time."
Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
Lu Xuan weighed it up, quickly made a decision, and ordered: "Cao Cao obeys the order!"
"I'm here!"
Cao Cao replied loudly.
He felt excited inside.
Now he had to divide his forces, whether it was to deal with the Parthian Empire army in Lanshi City in the north, or to deal with the European Roman Empire army in Suraddha City, he had to stand alone. This was his opportunity.
It had been a long time since he had commanded the army alone, and Cao Cao was looking forward to it.
