Chapter 2128 Formation

Zhu Huan was very satisfied and winked at Lu Yi. "Bo Yan, tell me your suggestions and discuss the major plans with all the generals."

"Here." Lu Yi stood up, saluted the generals, and spread the prepared formation map. Chen Dao and others couldn't help laughing and felt a little embarrassed when they saw it. Zhu Huan, Lu Yi had long considered how to use cavalry, but they were always worried that they would use no power. Although no one had anger in person, they were in a lot of small emotions. Now it seems that he was really petty and misunderstood Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan saw it clearly and was happy. In fact, there were several combat plans prepared by Lu Ye, and several formation maps were also one of them. The main force of cavalry was one of them, but the effect was the best at this time. Chen Dao was the cavalry commander of the personal guard, Yan Xing was the cavalry commander of Lu Su, Qin Mu was the cavalry commander of Huang Zhong, and Wen Chou was the cavalry commander of Zhou Yu. These four people not only held important official positions themselves, but also had close contact with the people around the King of Wu. If they could get their support, their future path would be stable.

Although Lu Yi was young, he was from a noble family and thought about things carefully. The king arranged for him to be my military plan, which was so caring. He was so wise that he was so beautiful.

Lu Yi cleared his throat. "Everyone, the emperor has more than 10,000 cavalry around him. Generally speaking, it can be divided into four categories. The most elite one is the Yulin Cavalry equipped with my Nanyang Arms, with a force of about 2,000. It is led by Ma Chao and Zhao Yun. Everyone knows Ma Chao's abilities, so there is no need for me to say anything. I want to remind you that Zhao Yun."

Lu Yi paused. "General Wen, are you familiar with Zhao Yun?"

Wen Chou said: "I know a little bit about it. Zhao Yun is from Zhending, Changshan. Zhending is close to the Hutuo River and belongs to northern Hebei. Generally speaking, there are many famous scholars in southern Hebei and many martial artists in northern Hebei. Zhao Yun has no reputation in Jizhou, but is a well-known master in northern Hebei. His martial arts..." He looked at the other people and hesitated for a moment. "Not under me."

Chen Dao and others were very surprised and immediately became serious. They all knew about Wen Chou’s martial arts. Wen Chou has always been confident and rarely admitted that his skills are inferior to others. Now he admits in front of everyone that Zhao Yun may be stronger than him, which shows that Zhao Yun is really strong and should not be underestimated. It can be seen that the emperor asked Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to lead the Yulin Cavalry together was not other factors, but that Zhao Yun did have this ability.

Wen Chou was embarrassed by everyone, but he couldn't say anything. There was a reason for him to say this. He had talked to Sun Ce about Zhao Yun, and Sun Ce had a high opinion of Zhao Yun, and Lu Yi knew it. Now Lu Yi focused on Zhao Yun, so he naturally reminded the generals to be careful not to be greedy for the achievements of killing generals, and rashly fought with Zhao Yun, which affected the overall situation. Even if he didn't say it, Lu Yi would say that since that's the case, it would be better to take the initiative to say that at least he could make a name for modesty. Unlike others, he was a surrendered general in Jizhou and was not very sociable. Today is also an opportunity.

Lu Yi looked at Chen Dao and Yan Xing. "This most elite Yulin cavalry will be handed over to the two generals. At all costs, we will strive to wipe out them all."

Chen Dao and Yan Xing were overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

"In addition to the Yulin Cavalry, the second category is the Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu, with a total of about 3,000 people. Lu Bu is known as a flying general, with a skilled bow and horse, and has powerful generals such as Zhang Liao and Wei Xu. Regarding these people, I will focus on Zhang Liao. When fighting for Nanyang, Zhang Liao had duel with the King of Wu. He was brave and resourceful, and had superb martial arts. He was a very outstanding cavalry general. General Wen, the task of dealing with Zhang Liao is given to you."

Wen Chou bowed to accept the order.

Qin Mu was a little panicked, opened his mouth, wanted to speak a few times, but was embarrassed to say it. If he arranged for him to fight Lu Bu, it would be a bit difficult. Lu Yi saw it and smiled and said, "General Qin, you fight Lu Bu."

Qin Mu was embarrassed. "This..."

"Don't the general want to defeat the pilot Lu Bu?"

Qin Mu was a little angry, but it was not easy to get angry, so he had to bow down. "Military advisor, who doesn't want to defeat the flying general General Lu? But he has to see if he has the ability to do so. Although Mu is not talented, he is a little wise and believes that he is not a match for Lu Bu. Death is a trivial matter, since he is a general, and corpse is a glory, and delaying the great cause of the King of Wu is a major matter. Mu cannot bear such a responsibility."

Lu Yi smiled with his palms. "Those who know others are wise, and those who know friends are wise. If the general thinks this way, the battle will be successful. Lu Bu is known as a flying general and has excellent martial arts skills. There are probably not many people in the world who can fight against him. If the general is brave and wants to compete with Lu Bu, then this task cannot be handed over to you."

Qin Mu was a little confused when he heard it. "Military advisor, you mean..."

"You don't need to defeat him. You just need to hold him back so that he can't get out. The Bingzhou cavalry has a total of 3,000 cavalry, and the more than 1,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu are the strongest. As long as you entangle Lu Bu, General Wen can quickly defeat Zhang Liao and Wei Xu, and then come to reinforce you."

Qin Mu calculated that Lu Bu only had more than a thousand cavalry. After he was supplemented, he had more than two thousand cavalry and had obvious advantages in equipment. As long as he did not face to face with Lu Bu, there was still a chance to complete this task. By the time Wen Chou took Zhang Liao and Wei Xu and joined forces, it was not impossible to defeat Lu Bu. Moreover, the cavalry battle was not rushing forward. Since Lu Bu was the main general, of course he would not fight easily. Zhang Liao and Wei Xu would have taken the lead first. By the time Lu Bu went to fight, Wen Chou should have laid a victory. As a general who faced Lu Bu, he would not be missing anyway when he was considering his merits in the future.

"Here." Qin Mu accepted the task happily.

Chen Dao calculated. "Military advisor, we all have a mission. Who will deal with the Third Battalion of the Northern Army and Dong Yue?"

"The Third Battalion of the Northern Army and Dong Yue are dealt with by infantry. Dong Yue's situation is quite complicated and needs to be explained more. He is an old subordinate of Dong Zhuo. He has been in Hongnong for many years and has been in peace with the Lu Governor. Later, he was in court and clashed with the Lu Governor, and retreated thousands of miles away, and directly gave up the entire Hongnong. Whether the court can trust him and whether he can trust the court is now difficult to say. I think that unless it is absolutely necessary, the Emperor of Guanxi will not send him to the battlefield, at least he will not let him take on the main tasks. If he goes to war, the infantry will deal with it." Lu Yi smiled and said, "Of course, we have prepared some methods."

Seeing Lu Yi's confident smile, Chen Dao didn't ask again.

The tactics of the cavalry were roughly discussed, and the generals discussed some details based on the formation map, such as arranging the replacement of spare war horses, how infantry covers and cooperates, and discussing them one by one. At this time, Lu Fan, Man Chong, and Ji Ling also arrived one after another. Seeing that several cavalry generals were discussing enthusiastically, they knew that the decisive battle was about to take place, and they were very excited.

"Is the general planning to use cavalry as the main force?" As soon as Lu Fan sat down, he raised their common questions.

Chen Dao and others smiled and said nothing. Zhu Huan smiled and said, "Duke Lu, Dong Zhao is busy crossing the river. What we want to deal with is the cavalry led by the Emperor of Guanxi. Without cavalry to fight, does Duke Lu want to fight with infantry?"

Lu Fan stroked his short beard and laughed twice. "That's what he said, before taking Youzhou, there were only more than a thousand cavalry under the command of the king. Aren't we just using infantry to fight the cavalry?"

"Duke Lu is powerful." Zhu Huan raised his thumbs up and said half-truely: "Then let's look at Duke Lu's methods, and you can fight Dong Yue, how about it?"

After hearing Dong Yue's name, Lu Fan looked at it disdainfully. "Dong Yue might have been a powerful general back then. He has been sacked for ten years in Hongnong, and he has been abolished. It's not easy to deal with him. Okay, hand him over to me and ensure that the task is completed."

"If Duke Lu takes the lead, he can only apologize to the two." Zhu Huan turned to Man Chong and Ji Ling. "Please ask the two to join me in plundering the cavalry and Duke Lu."

Although Man Chong and Ji Ling were not very satisfied, they were not people who liked to compete for merit. Besides, Zhu Huan himself did not go into battle, so they naturally didn't have to say much, so they had to bow and accept the order.

Zhu Huan then proposed to gather several infantry generals' personal guards and cavalry, and be commanded by the central army as a backup to prevent accidents. Considering that Sun Guan was superb in martial arts and dared to fight, the temporary cavalry was commanded by Sun Guan. After hearing this, Ji Ling finally felt less depressed. After the Battle of Jinxiangshan, Sun Guan was grateful for his life-saving grace and obeyed his advice, as if he was his confidant. Zhu Huan asked Sun Guan to fight, which was no big difference between letting him go to battle.

Then, Zhu Huan said to Man Chong: "If this battle can severely damage the Emperor of Guanxi, what remains are the Jizhou infantry led by Dong Zhao. Ji Governor Ji and General Man both have experience in fighting Dong Zhao, and the next battle will be more troublesome, especially General Man. Taking Yanzhou is only the first step. How to stabilize Yanzhou and incorporate Yanzhou into the kingly way is the key. On this point, General Man must be."

"Here." Man Chong, Ji Ling bowed to accept the order. Since there is still a war of achievements to be achieved, there is no need to fight for it.

After arranging the tasks of the generals and receiving the support of everyone, Zhu Huan began to arrange specific tactics. The cooperation between infantry and cavalry and the battle of tens of thousands of people required careful arrangements, how to divide the war zones, how to support each other, where the cavalry fought, and how the infantry covered them, all of which required careful arrangements. He had never had such an experience before, nor did anyone else here, and only Lu Yi knew a little. He had participated in the Battle of Guandu with Sun Ce and went through the whole process.

When large corps fight, unifying their thinking is the key. In order to make the generals work together, Lu Yi spent a lot of effort to carefully ponder the generals' thoughts, evaluate their abilities, find their common interests, and temporarily abandon their differences. Judging from the current situation, this phased task has been completed quite well.

While trying every means to unite his teammates, Lu Yi did not forget to give him some medicine. He wrote letters to the emperor, Lu Bu and Dong Yue in the name of Zhu Huan, explaining the current situation, demonstrating the principle of victory or defeat, and advising the emperor not to have unrealistic hopes, recognize the situation, make the right choices as soon as possible, and not to hit the stone with eggs, and laugh at the world.

Lu Yi's article is well written, with clear logic and thorough reasoning, and paying attention to different points for different people, which makes people convinced that he really thinks about himself and is simply a fool not to do so.

Of course, the best thing is the letter to Dong Yue.
