Chapter 578
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside Shouchun City, and a soldier quickly ran to the mansion and bowed to Qiao Rui who was sitting on the main seat.

"General Enlightenment"

"Discover traces of large-scale mobilization of enemy soldiers outside the city"

"There seems to be signs of division"

The voice echoed in his ears, and the soldier spoke loudly to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui gradually frowned, showing puzzled eyes.Divide up?Divide up at this time?Is there any deep meaning in it?Or is it that some important things have been overlooked by myself.

Seeing that Qiao Rui was lost in thought, the soldier bowed to him, turned and walked outside.

Looking at the leaving figure, Qiao Rui's eyes shifted to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and a tricky feeling permeated the air.

"Why do you think Jia Yuzhang wants to divide the army at this time?"

"This?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fell into deep thought at the same time.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and he figured out something almost instantly.A map of Yangzhou emerged in his mind, and he said it to Qiao Rui while deducing it.

"Our army of more than [-] troops stationed in Shouchun relied on Shouchun's fortified city to resist Jia Yuzhang's [-] troops. Now that Jia Yuzhang is dividing his troops, if he predicts that he will surprise Lujiang County, there are more than [-] soldiers stationed in Lujiang at that time. The horse is afraid that it will return in a big defeat."

"After that, we sent our army northward to attack Xiacai. Cut off the supply of food and grass to Shouchun in Yuzhou, and just sit and watch our army fall into a desperate situation and collapse without a fight."

"If the situation develops to that point, it will be detrimental to our army"

Zhou Yu spoke slowly.

Qiao Rui's heart sank.

"Why did Gongjin conclude that Jia Yuzhang would split up his troops and surprise Lujiang County?"

"Lu Kang has been running Lujiang for more than ten years, and the remaining prestige has not completely dissipated. If the division of troops at this time had not been a surprise attack on Lujiang, how could it be possible? Moreover, some troops from Jiangnan were dragged in Lujiang. , forming a pincer attack with Jia Yuzhang's troops. The total strength of the troops is no less than [-], how can the general resist?"

Zhou Yu asked.

Qiao Rui frowned a little more.

"If you follow what Gong Jin said, wouldn't our army be in a desperate situation?"

"Since this is the case, it is better to strike first. Since Jia Nian'er divides up the troops, there must not be too many troops outside the city. A surprise attack by Shouchun's soldiers will surely win the battle."

"No way"

Sun Ce couldn't help but interjected to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui is an important force that I can rely on, and if I make a loss, it will be an intolerable loss for myself.Besides, since Jia Nian dared to divide his troops, he must have some support.If it is said that there is no defense at all, no matter who it is, they will not believe it.

"The General Thinks Twice"

"Jia Yuzhang's division of troops must have many arrangements. Maybe an ambush has been set up at this time and we will wait for the main force of our army to come out."

Zhou Yu said to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui's face sank completely, thinking in her mind, and then let out a soft sigh.

"What about our army? Do you want to send a letter to Lujiang County immediately?"

"Jia Yuzhang divides the troops, and the general trend of Lujiang is determined. Even if we remind the soldiers and horses stationed in Lujiang, it will not help. It is better to find another way to regain Lujiang and take all the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Zhou Yu said this, a look of light flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, why did the situation become less scary in a blink of an eye.

"Even if Jia Yuzhang swept the Lujiang River, he would not dare to rush into Yuzhou in the face of Shouchun. That is to say, as long as I live in Shouchun, the threat from the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to reach Yuzhou."

"So the general doesn't have to worry about Yuzhou"

"A surprise attack on the Lujiang county mansion by the troops outside the city, jumping out of Yangzhou, Shouchun is as stable as Mount Tai. As long as the state herdsman defeats the Jingzhou soldiers, Jia Yuzhang will die. And in order to prevent unpredictable dangers, please write a letter to Xuzhou, the general, Ask Xuzhou to send troops to build a business"

"In this way, Jia Yuzhang must have been in a hurry when he heard that Xuzhou was about to build a business, so he had to evacuate in a hurry."

"The crisis of my longevity will be lifted"

Zhou Yu talked eloquently.

Qiao Rui seemed to have grasped something from these words, and her spirit was shaken.Xuzhou?Jiangnan?Now all the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River have been sent out, that is to say, as long as Xuzhou sends troops, the south of the Yangtze River can be easily taken.Although there are Qingzhou Yellow Turbans on the side, it is not a problem for Xuzhou to send a partial division.But if Xuzhou is so cheap for nothing, are you really willing?Isn't this just a busy day.

Countless thoughts flashed by, and Qiao Rui thought quickly.

"Is there something wrong with this?"

"Why?"

"Once Xuzhou attacks Jiangnan, won't our army complete Xuzhou?"

"Could it be that Xuzhou won't send troops if the general keeps writing a letter? Don't they covet the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhou Yu asked Qiao Rui back.

Qiao Rui gasped and shook her head quickly.

"Since it can't be stopped, why not push the boat along? If Jia Yuzhang retreats, the general will follow. It's hard to say who this Jiangnan belongs to at that time. After all, the [-] troops in Jiangnan are not so easy to deal with."

"To drive away tigers and devour wolves?"

Sun Ce understood it almost instantly.

Qiao Rui was also slowly pondering these four words, with a look of reason in his eyes.There is no doubt that Zhou Yu convinced himself that although the troops were divided outside the city, the main force was still there.What's more, even if Flying Pigeon passes on the letter, facing three flanks, Lujiang's fall is a foregone conclusion.To be exact, the fall of Hefei Hou was already doomed.

Now it is not a good choice to follow Zhou Gongjin's strategy and persuade Xuzhou to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River.After hearing that there was a fire in the backyard, not only Lujiang and Shouchun would be saved, but they would also be able to sit back and watch both sides suffer, and they would be able to take the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River with ease.

At that time, the situation had a fundamental reversal, and the offense and defense also changed accordingly.Even without the help of the lord, the established strategy of taking down Jiangnan can be completed.

"Gongjin's words make sense"

"I just don't know who can be the messenger?"

Qiao Rui asked Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu shook his head quickly.

"It doesn't matter who is the envoy, it's better to fly the pigeon to send the letter to Xuzhou and the state pastoral mansion. Maybe it will be too late in terms of time."

"Flying Pigeon Passing Letters?"

Qiao Rui weighed quickly in his mind.Although this seems a bit impolite, the situation is ever-changing after all.If you can't react as quickly as possible, won't it be too late to regret once Jia Nian'er reacts?

"come"

"exist"

"Bring bamboo slips and a pen"

"promise"

Two soldiers came over with blank bamboo slips and a pen, and handed them to Qiao Rui respectfully.

Without thinking, Qiao Rui reached out and took the blank bamboo slips and pen into her hands, then stretched out her hand to spread out the bamboo slips, and began to write on them.

Not long after the last handwriting fell, he handed it to the two soldiers and gave them instructions.

"Write it into a silk book, and report it to Xuzhou Mu with flying pigeons"

"promise"

A soldier finished the bamboo slips respectfully, then turned around and walked outside with a robe.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce saw that Qiao Rui was a little tired, so they bowed and left in big strides.What should be done has been done, and the next step is to wait patiently.Jia Yuzhang divided his troops, seeking his own death, and hoped that Xuzhou would not miss this opportunity.
