Lu Yi raised his hand, gently scratched the tip of his eyebrows with his tail finger, showing a slightly shy smile, but his expression was light and calm.

Lu Fan suddenly felt aroused. He remembered that when he first met Sun Ce outside the Nandun Inn, Sun Ce looked like this, handsome and even a little immature, but he had an indescribable calmness and freedom, especially when he scratched his eyebrows with his tail finger, which looked very much like Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was eighteen years old, and Lu Yi was eighteen years old this year. Since the third year of Chuping, he has been acquainted with Sun Ce for more than eight years, spent the entire semester, and witnessed all Sun Ce’s decisions over the years. It can be said that he was taught step by step by step by step. When he sat here, it is equivalent to Sun Ce sitting here.

Rather than saying that Zhu Huan was the main general of the Yanzhou offensive, it is better to say that Lu Zheng is the real core.

Lu Fan withdrew his gaze, felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and smiled slightly. If the speech just now might have been a bit rash, he is very confident now. To know the answer, you only need to ask a very simple question: If Sun Ce sat here, would he move forward or backward?

"Seeing you all talking freely and refuting each other, you suddenly thought of the scene of discussing affairs at the Military Advisory Office. You were so excited that you would forgive me. It was ashamed to say that since you came to Duke Lu, it has been more than a year since you were under Duke Lu. I really miss the fun of refuting and even making things difficult for you at that time."

When everyone heard this, they smiled knowingly and couldn't help but feel a trembling. They realized the special identity of this young man. He was the military advisor designated by Sun Ce and the first person to propose plans. In contrast, they were just providing advice for him. Even Zhu Huan couldn't help but become serious. Lu Yi is not an ordinary military advisor, he is also a deputy general, and he can command the entire army on his behalf when necessary.

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Boyan, don't say that. Although you are at Junyi, you can't be my subordinate. I have been at the Arc destiny for this period. You are the real governor of Junyi. In the first battle, Chen Liu retreated to Dong Zhao, and in the second battle, Junyi killed Xun Yan. You are the milk tiger roaring the valley, the young eagle spreads its wings, and it makes a big splash. I feel ashamed of myself, and I am envious and jealous."

Lu Yigong bowed. "Don't say that, I'm ashamed to kill the boy."

Lu Fan laughed and gave a tribute. "Boyan, then tell us how the Military Advisory Office should act if the Military Advisory Office faces this situation. To be honest, although I am a despicable governor, I have only met Guo Jijiu a few times, and I really haven't seen how the Military Advisory Office discusses the matter."

Ji Ling, Man Chong smiled and said nothing, but felt a little whispered in his heart. Lu Fan really knew how to seize the opportunity and use his former subordinate relationship with Lu Yi to spare no effort to compete for the first place. His words seemed modest, but in fact they reminded everyone that he had no military plan when he followed the King of Wu.

Lu Yi said a few words and put away his smile. "The Military Advisory Office is the king's think tank. He adheres to the king's teachings and often plans for the general trend first and then the small situation. The king often says that those who do not plan for a lifetime are not enough to plan for a moment. Those who do not plan for the world are not enough to plan for a city. Although you are not the king, you are the generals who are valued by the king. You might as well expand your eyes slightly when considering the current situation. Well, Duke Lu and Duke Ji are ranked among the nine governors. We might as well think about it. Can the emperor enter Yanzhou, Duke Lu of Luoyang, and Duke Xu of Jinan sit and watch the two of you make contributions?"

Ji Ling and Lu Fan heard this and looked at each other and smiled at each other. Lu Fan slapped his thighs. "Yes, Duke Xu, I dare not say that Duke Lu will never sit still. He must be ready to pick up the emperor's retreat at this moment."

While Lu Fan said, he was ready to scrub his hands and salivating, as if the emperor was a fat prey. When everyone saw it, they laughed happily, and then felt relieved, which aroused three-point fighting spirit. As Lu Yi said, they were not the only ones in this war, at least Lu Su and Xu Kun would not sit idly by. In this way, at least there is no need to worry about the strength of their own troops, and there is no obvious disadvantage. If the combat power of both sides is taken into account, they have considerable advantages.

Man Chong pondered: "What the military advisor said is very much. However, the emperor came fiercely, and our army was short of cavalry, so there was no advantage in facing the enemy head-on."

"The king often said that Manjun is steady and is a knowledgeable person. The emperor marched like a arrow, traveling more than two hundred miles a day, which can be said to have brought the advantages of the cavalry to the extreme. I just don't know anything. Was he taking the initiative to do this or forced himself?"

Man Chong's eyes flashed and he was thinking. They had been besieging Dingtao for so long. If Sun Guan and others had not acted without permission, causing setbacks and delayed time, Dingtao might have been taken. If the emperor had taken the initiative, he would have been able to enter Yanzhou long ago, why wait until now? If he expanded his eyes and considered Lu Su, it would be very dangerous for the emperor to attack Dingtao with cavalry. Once the news reached Lu Su's ears, there would be a possibility that Lu Su would cut off his retreat. In other words, the emperor could only fight quickly, and once the attack could not succeed, he would be in trouble.

If they gave up Dingtao and retreated through Sui River, the emperor would probably not come and stayed in Puyang to maintain a threat to Dingtao and not give Lu Su a chance to encircle. It is only three hundred miles from Puyang to Dingtao, which is only two days' journey for the cavalry, and it is easy to advance and retreat. There are nearly two hundred miles from Dingtao to Binshui, which is beyond the attack range of the cavalry, and the possibility of the emperor continuing to advance is not high.

Seeing that Man Chong didn't speak, Lu Yi said again: "This time he went to the expedition, the target was Yanzhou, and the opponent was Dong Zhao, so the king took General Zhu as his general and the king as his loyalty. If the son entered Yanzhou today, he wanted to take a chance. This was no longer the gains and losses of Yanzhou, but the gains and losses of the world. The one who moved when he heard the news was probably not only Lu Du and Xu, but also the king would take a look at it in his busy schedule."

Man Chong was a little hesitant, but after hearing this, he immediately changed his mind. Since it was a battle between the world, even if Lu Su and Xu Kun were unwilling to participate in the war, Sun Ce would order them to join the war, and even Sun Ce would come from Jianye. If they retreated, it seemed safe, but they were wasting a good opportunity for a decisive battle. If they persisted, it would be worth it even if the losses were greater. They were not Dong Zhao, but the emperor, which might have a significant impact on the situation in the world and their significance was immeasurable.

The emperor took the initiative to fight in Yanzhou and Sun Ce was forced to fight. What a good opportunity? If the emperor came and left and retreated to Guanzhong in the future, Sun Ce had to take the initiative to attack. It was not only more difficult, but also morally might give people a handle.

Man Chong stood up straight and bowed to Lu Yi. "It's still Bo Yan's unique vision, but Chong is ashamed of himself."

Lu Gong returned the favor. "The foolish people have a thousand thoughts, and occasionally they can get praise from Manjun. They are very honored. However, Manjun's worries are also a fact. We should fight, but we cannot fight in a strait. Be cautious is still necessary. General Zhu and Liang cavalry will arrive all the time, so we need to be prepared to fight."

Zhu Huan held the desk with both hands, was about to rise, and looked at the generals in the tent with passionate eyes. "What do you guys?"

Lu Fan, Ji Ling, Man Chong, and Zhang Fen exchanged glances, stood up at the same time, bowed and bowed to salute. "Only the general's order is to follow."

Zhu Huan was very satisfied and said loudly: "Since that's the case, I sent someone to invite Yan and Chen to convene the generals above the commander-in-chief of each battalion to discuss matters, work together to fight with the world-famous Bingliang cavalry. In the battle of Nanyang, the king wiped out 20,000 Xiliang troops. Today, the emperor only had 10,000 elite cavalry. Even if we can't wipe out him like the king, we must let him know that I, Dawu, are not easy to bully."

Everyone was excited and replied with a loud voice.

——

Juyang, Chuting Pavilion, the night is dark.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the starry sky on the south side, silent. Liu Ye stood beside him and stood with his hands down. Wang Yue and more than ten tiger men scattered around, carrying out warnings, and Wu Qiuxing was also among them.

At this point, the emperor did not enter Juyang City. He decided to take a break in Chuiting. After enjoying the food from the Guyang family's military service, he advanced at night and rushed straight to Dingtao to deal with Zhu Huan. However, Liu Ye believed that the soldiers who were running here were exhausted and they should rest for a night. It would not be too late to advance again tomorrow. The emperor did not clearly oppose Liu Ye's opinion, but said that he would summon Lu Bu and others to gather ideas to see if the soldiers could hold on to their physical strength, and then settle again.

Liu Ye was not good at opposing the emperor's decision, so he could only agree and think about how to convince Lu Bu and others later. For example, there were three cavalry around Zi today: one was Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, the Yulin Cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun, with only more than a thousand people. These were elite cavalry equipped with Nanyang Arms and were the guards of the emperor; the other was the Northern Army Cavalry led by Lu Bu, mainly the Liang cavalry, with about five thousand people, led by Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and others; the other was the Liangzhou cavalry led by Dong Yue, with more than 5,000 people. These cavalry were equipped with average equipment, and they were elite soldiers who followed Dong Zhuo to fight, but ten years later, the soldiers and war horses were old, and their combat power was not as good as before. Moreover, Dong Yue's loyalty was Yu, so the emperor did not trust him very much.

If Dong Yue's men were not counted, the emperor could only trust more than 6,000 cavalrymen, including Ma Chao, who had long declared that he was unwilling to fight against the Jiangdong Army. The emperor asked Zhao Yun from Liu Bei to command the Yulin Cavalry instead of Ma Chao, but without Ma Chao and his two hundred troops who were good at using short spears, the impact would have an impact. Considering that Yan Xing, the opposite person commanded the Jiangdong cavalry, Liu Ye had to consider the safety of the emperor. They rushed thousands of miles to win, not to die.

The emperor seemed to have made the difference.

Liu Ye sighed secretly, feeling uneasy. Xun Yu went on a mission to Jianye to negotiate with Sun Ce. He thought it was a good thing, but no one would restrain him anymore. Now he found that not only him, but also the emperor, but also the emperor seemed more radical than him, and even a little desperate, which made him very uneasy. Without Xun Yu, could he still control the situation?

"Ziyang, do you think... will the King of Wu come?" the emperor suddenly said.

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty... Want to fight the King of Wu?"

The emperor turned around, glanced at Liu Ye, and saw the panic in Liu Ye's eyes, and sighed secretly. He said quietly: "Yes, I have always thought that if I can fight the King of Wu in this life, no matter how successful, life and death, there will be no regrets."

Liu Ye's eyes rolled and he smiled, "Then your Majesty might as well wait to see if he dares to come."

"Zhu Huan is a rookie in Jiangdong, and Lu Yi is also a star of tomorrow trained by the King of Wu. If he can defeat them, he will not be afraid that the King of Wu will not come."
