Jiangxia.

on the Yangtze River waterway.

"Another troop increase?" On the deck of a building ship, Sun Ce looked ahead and saw the shadows of ships shuttling back and forth: "This Jingzhou, with so many naval warships gathered here, want to fight a decisive battle with us?" ”

"The decisive battle will not be!"

Zhou Yu was dressed in a robe, with a graceful demeanor, standing next to Sun Ce, and said with a smile: "It's just a big momentum, and it may not be a death battle!" ”

"Just got the news that they know who their lord is?" Sun Ce asked.

"Isn't it Huang Zu!" Zhou Yu said.

"Since you know that it is Huang Zu, you should know that this person is not weak in water warfare, and he has a lot of troops now, and he is a person with great prestige in Jiangxia, if he really leads the army to fight back and fight a bloody battle with us, it is very possible!"

Sun Ce said.

"No, I think it's more likely that he's holding us back!"

"At this time, they will not do anything that will not outweigh the losses in a decisive battle with us, and I even suspect that we do not have such a strong force on our side at all, otherwise, they will not continue to shrink the defensive line!"

"Of course, we also have to guard against it, the so-called virtual is real, the real is virtual, maybe the Jingzhou army will really open the knife to us, but the possibility is really small!"

Zhou Yu carefully analyzed: "Normally speaking, Jingzhou must be in a mess now, and the fight must be fought, it depends on who Liu Jingsheng chooses to fight, I think that Liu Jingsheng may not beat us, but more of a herding army!" ”

"Do you look down on a certain family?"

Sun Ce said proudly: "I still think that a certain family can't break his Jiangxia!" ”

"Not really!"

Zhou Yu said softly: "I think that when choosing this, the most particular thing is a mood, and he must fight with one side, he has two choices, either concentrate the main force, defeat the disabled side, and then gather strength, and then fight with the other side!" ”

"Before, we and the Jingzhou army fought no less than five battles on the Yangtze River waterway, each battle was done with all our might, the entire river was dyed blood red, we suffered a lot of casualties, and the Jingzhou army was constantly increasing its troops, Huang Zu, Deng Long, these Jingzhou generals were all dispatched!"

"They are the whole intention!"

"Prepare to cripple us first, and then wave the division and gather all kinds of soldiers and horses, and the last with the herdsman!"

"But the key is that they can't cripple us, the battle situation has been stalemate, Jingzhou will definitely not be able to withstand it, once the herdsmen break through the direction of Jingzhou City, drive straight in, they are only one Jiangxia, they can't withstand the attack from both sides, so I think they have changed their strategic deployment!"

On the battlefield, changes are unpredictable, and strategic deployment can change at any time.

"So what Gong Jin means is that next, the attitude of the Jingzhou army towards us will be eased!"

Sun Ce understood, he looked ahead and said: "Then what I see is that they are increasing their troops, then it may not be an increase in troops, but more of a retreat, some elites are beginning to transfer out of this side of the battlefield, and they are ready to fight a decisive battle with the pastoral army first, right?" ”

"For the time being, I think so, but we still have to be careful, Jingzhou is not without capable people, calculated and calculated, they are all man-eating wolves, maybe they will eat us in one bite!"

Zhou Yu nodded, and then instructed.

"If that's the case, how can we deal with it, we can't be here all the time with them, or we can't force a breakthrough?" Sun Ce said.

"Bo Fu, think about it, if we forcibly break through and really recruit all the main forces of the Jingzhou Army to our side, what good will we have, it's not good to say, if it weren't for joining forces with the Mu Army, we might not be able to beat the Jingzhou Army now!"

Zhou Yu said: "The main force of the lord is on the battlefield in Guanzhong, we can not mobilize many troops, Jiangdong also needs soldiers and horses to guard, if the Jiaozhou side does not want to give up the previous efforts, we have to increase the troops, we simply do not have so many troops!" ”

"But I'm a little unwilling!"

"Bo Fu, let them fight first, isn't it, we should not see it, recuperate!" Zhou Yu said: "I always think that the Jingzhou Army is not our opponent, our opponent, or the pastoral army, and when Jingzhou is destroyed, it is time for us to turn our faces!" ”

"The chief general of the pastoral army is a drama talent!"

Jiangdong's intelligence network is naturally not weak, this matter, inquire very clearly, Sun Ce said: "Now that Mulong Tu is still in Guanzhong, it is estimated that he is beyond the reach of the whip, and the drama is only a fang, a strategist, and the main general should be less courageous, I think we have a chance to defeat them for a while!" ”

"Don't underestimate this fang!"

Zhou Yu squinted: "Today, among the strategists, his drama talent ranks among the top three, and they all say that Mu Jing has today's achievements, and he can't do without the help of this person, underestimate him, we will suffer!" ”

"Isn't it you!"

Sun Ce laughed heartily: "Conspiracy and trickery, I can still hide your eyes, I am only responsible for fighting, I believe you can prevent this fang!" ”

…………………………

South County.

To the north of Yicheng is the territory of the herdsmen, and to the south of Yicheng is the territory of Jingzhou.

However, the herdsmen did not declare war, and the Storm Bear Army quickly crossed the dividing line of Yicheng and began to move rapidly south.

Although the Bruns still have a defensive line to the north.

In order to defend Nanyang, two battalions of troops were freed up, but the remaining troops were enough to turn Nanjun upside down.

Zhoucang went all the way south, very smoothly.

But when he approached Jiang Xia, he stopped.

Originally, he wanted to go straight into Jiangxia in one go, as long as he tore through Jiangxia's defense line, then the entire Jiangzhou defense line would collapse, and the main force of the herdsman army would be able to drive straight in.

But one man stopped him.

This is a staff general directly sent down by the Beiwutang Staff Division.

Very young.

is only a teenager, very delicate, like a gentle little boy, Zhou Cang didn't take him seriously, but he had enough courage to refute Zhou Cang in front of him, and persuaded Zhou Cang.

He is Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was originally engaged in the Honglu Division, but after completing the task of sending an envoy to Jiangdong, after returning to Jiangzhou, he was heavily valued by Hu Zhao and directly transferred to Beiwutang, serving in the staff department under Beiwutang.

It's just a general's position, but it's a good place to start.

The army was stationed on a mountain, there was mountain spring water on the mountain, the left and right sides were steep, the back was a cliff, there was only one mountain road in and out, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was a good place to camp.

In the camp, the main account of the Chinese army, Zhou Cang was dressed in military uniform, majestic and solemn, with a pair of cold eyes like copper bells, he was examining the topographic map, and he had read the surrounding topographic map countless times, and it was difficult to make up his mind.

"Little Zhuge didn't you say that there are soldiers and horses waiting for us, but we are here now, and there is no trace of us!"

Zhou Cang couldn't help but glanced at the young man next to him.

In the formation of the pastoral army, there is a Zhuge , Zhuge Xuan, as Zhuge Liang's uncle, his fate is not as in history, he died early, and he was unknown, but he was the first to break out of the hall, and he was born with his own family by Mu Jing's side, and now he is a deputy of a county, slightly famous, so he is a big Zhuge .

And Zhuge Liang is just a teenager, not the wise and almost demonic Zhuge military advisor in history.

So he can only be Xiao Zhuge .

"Lord Zhonglang, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is!"

Zhuge Liang said without humility or arrogance: "I guess, at this time, the enemy is already less than a hundred miles away from us!" ”

"Scout Captain!"

"In!"

"Get all the scouts out!" Zhou Cang is not obedient to Zhuge Liang's words, he is heavy on Zhuge Liang, the first rumor is that Zhuge Liang was personally promoted by Mu Jing, Mu Jing's tricks, he didn't miss people, second, although Zhuge Liang is young, but whether it is his action or voice, he is much more mature and stable than many adults, and he has the courage to carry it head-on, and he has wisdom and courage, which is worth cultivating.

"Yes!"

The Scout Lieutenant commanded.

"Xiao Zhuge is so sure that they will let us operate first?" Zhou Cang squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang, as a thief-born mission, he was able to come to this day because of the surrender of the year, and his return to Mushan was the most wise and martial thing in this life, but he didn't read many books, which was his most regretful thing, so he respected the reader very much.

"General Zhonglang, how far are we from Yicheng now?"

"Almost eight hundred miles!"

"It's not a lone entry!"

"The grain road has not been built, although we have also transported a lot of grain, which can ensure that there will be no food crisis within a month, but it can be regarded as a lone army!"

"Isn't that right?"

Zhuge Liang said softly: "The main force of our army is violent, how can it be so easy to suppress it, but Jingzhou must have a war that inspires the morale of the army, if you don't fight us, who else can you fight?" ”

"When you say that, I kind of understand!"

Zhou Cang's pupils flickered, and his fists clenched: "I'm also looking forward to it, how many troops will Jingzhou send to clean up a certain family, I'm really looking forward to it!" ”

………………

Changsha County.

The county seat.

Above the lobby, the furnishings were very simple, some desks had been removed, and a huge screen marching chart was placed in front of them, and all the generals were in uniform, standing left and right, staring ahead.

And the main general is Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun is a general in Jingzhou, second only to Cai Maowen, he once called troops in Changsha, and this time he returned to Changsha, also on behalf of Jingzhou Mu, came to Changsha, and made a desperate bet for this big battle.

In the past half a month, he killed many people in Changsha with iron-fisted means, forcibly recruited countless young and strong people, and enlisted in the army.

In this way, it may encounter the backlash of the people.

But that's for the future.

Now Jingzhou has reached a dead end.

Even if Liu Biao has refined some recruits in the past few years, he is not absolutely sure, after all, the fear of the herdsman is too great, so he has to be ruthless.

At this time, no one probably thought that at this time, Changsha had no less than 80,000 soldiers and horses, and this force, once put into the battlefield, would instantly play a role.
