Chapter 2733 Xu Youzhi's words
"I wonder what Ziyuan has to say?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Xu You.
Xu You pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Cao's army is elite, and our soldiers are not weak. Cao's army can send elite soldiers to ambush on the battlefield, and our army can also send elite soldiers to find Cao's army on the battlefield to avoid scouts.
Damage occurred.”
"Although Ziyuan's method is simple, it is effective." Lu Bu said.
"Your Majesty, Cao's army is now gathered near Changshe in large numbers, and they are very willing to fight our army between Xinzheng and Changshe. If the lord sends elite cavalry to raid Xudu at this time, it may have unexpected effects.
Xudu is the capital of the Han Dynasty. If we capture Xudu, Cao Jun will definitely be shaken." Xu You said.
"Although Ziyuan's words are reasonable, Cao Cao has led troops in battles for many years and has many levels of cunning. Xu Du will definitely have a lot of protection, and Changshe is not very far from Xu Du. If Xu Du discovers the enemy, Cao Cao can quickly
Quickly send troops and horses to support Xudu." Lu Bu said.
Regarding the situation in the army, not to mention Xu You, even the important generals in the army cannot be said to have a complete understanding of the situation in the army. When the army goes to war, the detailed situation in the army is the secret of the army, otherwise
After getting the news for the enemy, it will be detrimental to our own situation on the battlefield.
Although Xu You came with the army, his status in the army was far inferior to that of Li Ru and Jia Xu.
Xu You is a member of the family. When Lu Bu ruled Jizhou, Xu You behaved very obviously. He even betrayed Yuan Shao for the benefit of the family. Now the Xu family's strength has suffered a lot. If Xu You thinks about it,
It is impossible not to have any complaints about Jin.
Xu You is talented, but Lu Bu will not use it easily against someone with such concerns.
At the beginning, Lu Bu had a lot of expectations for Xu You. He hoped that Xu You could recognize the reality and help him with more dedication. However, judging from Xu You's performance, Lu Bu was not satisfied. Otherwise, Xu You would
You would definitely not be where you are now.
Lu Bu was sure that Xu You also realized this, so when he was in the army, Xu You had been more active in order to improve his status in the army.
Xu You has this idea, and Lu Bu quite approves of it. In a decisive battle between armies, it is naturally better to have more resourceful people on the side to make suggestions.
Cao Cao has a lot of counselors under his command, which can be seen from the situations reported from various places after the two sides started fighting. The counselors under Lu Bu's command are also not weak, especially the top counselors, who are more powerful than Cao's army.
Among the Cao army, the most famous counselors were Xun You, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu. Xun Yu was mostly responsible for internal affairs.
However, after Tian Feng's reminder, Lu Bu took certain precautions against Xu You. In history, Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao because of Xu You. Xu You and Cao Cao were old acquaintances, so it was difficult to guarantee that he would be able to win at the critical moment.
Will make a move to betray the army.
Currently, the Xu family is suffering a lot of suppression from the Jin State. It is reasonable for Xu You to act like this.
Therefore, it is necessary to guard against Xu You. Lu Bu does not want uncontrollable factors to appear in the army during the battle. The generals of various ministries may not look down on Xu You. They treat Xu You without pretense, but
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Xu You was a high-ranking figure.
"Ziyuan, if I entrust you with the task of clearing out Cao's army on the battlefield, would you be confident in completing it?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Xu You.
"I have confidence." Xu You cupped his hands and said.
"Okay, with Ziyuan on the side and planning, it will definitely succeed. Huang Xu, you lead a hundred personal guards on the side to help Ziyuan." Lu Bu said.
"Here." Huang Xu came out and said. Although Huang Xu is only the deputy general of the personal guard, his status is no weaker than that of the chief generals of each department. He is one of the thirty-six generals of the Temple of War, although his ranking is relatively low.
, being able to become one of the thirty-six generals in such a short period of time is enough to show Huang Xu's ability.
Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Dian Wei, and Dian Man, father and son, are all among the thirty-six generals in the Temple of War. They are also praised by the soldiers in the army. The current prosperity of Jin is due to the soldiers in the army who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
In exchange for fighting, the family resisted Lu Bu's rule, but they did not dare to offend Lu Bu easily. What they were afraid of was the army in Lu Bu's hands. And Lu Bu was a military general, so there was no doubt about his generosity towards the generals in the army.
Under Lu Bu's rule, there was no such thing as a higher status among civil servants than generals. Unless the civil servant was a particularly arrogant person, it would be difficult for him to move forward in the court.
People like Jia Xu and Guo Jia not only have prestige among officials, but are also respected by soldiers in the army.
In times of war, soldiers are more important than literati. No matter how capable the literati are, if there is no strong army in the territory, they can only fail when facing the enemy. Failure means that everything will be lost.
It will disappear.
Lu Bu's emphasis on military commanders made the literati under his rule put away their past arrogance when facing military commanders. This situation was also what Lu Bu wanted to see.
After everyone dispersed, Lu Bu left Jia Xu and Li Ru behind. The two were the counselors Lu Bu relied on most in this battle against Cao Cao. There is no doubt that the two were powerful in strategy, but when they used their strategies,
They are all a bit cruel.
Lu Bu naturally knows that when dealing with enemies, we must use cruel methods, but when it comes to war, Lu Bu has his own bottom line.
"Wen You has been in Henan Yin for a long time. What do you think of the current situation?" Lu Bu asked with a smile. Regarding Li Ru's performance on the battlefield in Henan Yin, Lu Bu quite agreed with Li Ru's performance on the battlefield in Henan Yin. He successively defeated Cao Jun's troops.
The city made Cao Jun leave Henan Yin in despair, causing Cao Jun to lose nearly 20,000 troops and horses, which is definitely a great contribution.
Although he secretly had Lu Bu's help, Lu Bu could not expect that Henan Yin could open up the situation so quickly.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops gathered in Changshe, and there are tens of thousands of Cao's troops in Yingchuan. Once the performance of Changshe is critical, Cao's troops in Yingchuan can rush to the battlefield, and Changshe is not far away from Xu, so they can
Promote the safety of Xudu at all times, so that Xudu does not need to worry about the intrusion of war. Our army has 80,000 people in Henan. If there is a head-on confrontation, our army will not be afraid of Cao's army." Li Ru said.
Lu Bu nodded slightly. The Jin army was not comparable to the soldiers of Cao Jun. It can be seen from the battlefield in Wancheng that although Cao Jun was brave, compared to the Jin army, it still lacked war experience. The army
It is extremely difficult for lieutenant generals to become more elite without combat experience.
