That night, Tian Xin left Luo Qiong to guard the city wall, and deliberately took Yu Ban to Guan Yu's mansion to attend the banquet.

Mrs. Guan and other female dependents will not attend, and their own experienced old servants will run the banquet, and Guan Xing will accompany them.

This is a pre-war meeting, Tian Xin saw that everyone was sitting a little far apart, and he proposed that everyone sit side by side, and several cases were placed together, counting Guan Xing, a total of twelve people sat around on three sides.

A white silk map was placed in the middle of the table, and Wang Fu described the layout of Sun Quan's main force: "Lu Xun supervised the troops on both sides of the Tuoshui River, and was building barracks and antlers, intending to form a 100-mile joint camp to protect the Tuoshui waterway. It can be seen that he has the intention of holding each other, and intends to consume. ”

Then there is the army that has been fighting for three months now, and physical and mental exhaustion is an inevitable phenomenon.

Yu Ban did not speak casually, turning his head left and right from time to time to observe, Wang Fu and Tian Xin did not deliberately conceal him, there was a serious shortage of military food in Jingzhou.

The military ration reserves of Guan Yu's headquarters may barely be enough to last half a month, and counting the military rations stored in Jiangling, it may be difficult for the Jingzhou army to support it until the beginning of spring next year.

He could have borrowed money from Wu Jun, or bought and replaced military rations from the Yangzhou family.

With the Wu army betraying the alliance and locking the Jingyi channel, the Jingzhou army had nowhere to supply military rations.

Tian Xin looked at the general defense area of the Wu army, and saw that Sun Jiao's army on the east road was moving slowly, and he roughly understood that the strategic core of the Wu army was a drag.

Sun Jiao's more than 30,000 troops will not easily stay away from Hanjin, after they leave Hanjin, they will lose the cover of the naval army, and after the defeat of the field battle, the whole army may be wiped out.

And if Jiang Qin's Hanjin garrison was blocked and defeated by the Jingzhou Navy, then Sun Quan's army on the front line would have the bad influence of being intercepted at the back road.

Therefore, Sun Jiao's large-scale partial army will not easily leave Hanjin, unless the army stationed in Dangyang and Micheng attacks Sun Quan's main force to the west, Sun Jiao's partial army will attack Micheng.

The current Wu army has just died the governor Lü Meng, and he has suffered defeats in a row, which can be said to be unfavorable, and it also needs time to rest morale.

Do not seek to break the enemy in the field, and take fighting for national strength and attrition as the core strategy...... This is the real Three Kingdoms.

Tian Xin looked at the white silk map, and faintly felt a sense of urgency that he was about to become obsolete and could not catch up with the times.

The influence of heroes, generals, and heroes on battles and the times is declining, and war is transitioning to the macro level of competing national strength.

In the future war, it is the national strength that will be fought for.

For heroes, times have changed.

Fortunately, it was Sun Quan who led the troops on the other side, not Lu Xun.

The times are developing, and Sun Quan still has a serious personal hero complex, just like Sun Jian and Sun Ce, this is also a person who likes to fight.

What is the characteristic of a hero, is willfulness.

Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang and even Dong Zhuo are all heroes, willfulness is not nonsense, but can still not change their hearts in the face of the torrent of the times.

Insisting on self-pursuit and not being moved by external objects is the greatest willfulness.

I just don't know if Sun Quan dares to wave again.

At present, he is worried about the lack of food for the follow-up army, and Pan Jun complained: "If General Huya detains the prisoners of the Wu army, it will not be able to force the Marquis of Wu to retreat. ”

Seeing that Tian Xin did not refute, Pan Jun continued: "Jiangling is really a fortified city in the world, and the Marquis of Wu failed in the attack, and his generals did not dare to compete with the Marquis of Guanjun. It's just that it's hard to ride a tiger, and if I force me to surrender the army, I can't say that I can stop the war and truce the army. ”

"You underestimated Sun Quan's ambitions."

Several leading captains, Sima, and Changshi restrained their smiles, and Wang Fu was about to open his mouth to change the topic, but when he saw Tian Xin's calm tone, he gave up.

I heard Tian Xin say: "Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance is inevitable. In the future, the Cao family usurped the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan's army was defeated, and the people who had a nest of snakes and rats will be able to retain the descendants of the Sun family and not lose their wealth. If my king Sanxing Yan Han, the Cao family is a rebel minister of the Han Dynasty, is the Sun family a rebel minister? ”

"If the three males stand side by side today, Sun Quan betrays the alliance to steal Jingzhou. If it succeeds, it will make it difficult for our army to recover from the collapse of its great cause, and it will be able to look forward to the world with all the capital. Even if we return defeated, will our army have the strength to pursue? Even if he had the strength to pursue, how could Cao Cao sit back and watch our army annihilate Sun Quan? ”

Tian Xin glanced at Pan Jun: "Defeat before fighting, Sun Quan's defeat is not enough to destroy the country, but victory can look forward to the world." If the public is Sun Quan, how should he choose? ”

"Moreover, during the Battle of Chibi, our army was no more than a remote corner of Jiangxia. The war has swept through Jingyi Erzhou, and Hanzhong and Xiangfan have annihilated 100,000 people of Cao's army. However, Sun Quan's expansion of territory was only remote Jiaozhou, and he also relied on the invasion of troops to cut off the three counties of Jingdong from the King of Han. If the public is Sun Quan, will he be convinced? ”

Saying that, Tian Xin smiled: "He can't beat Cao Cao's partial army in the north, and our army is empty, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and get a vote first." It's just that in this way, it will be difficult for our army, after winning against him, should our army confront him in Yuzhang, or go north to attack Cao? ”

Pan Jun hung his head in annoyance, and Wang Fu's eyes looked left and right from time to time.

Tian Xin's personality is very good, and his sense of smell is even more acute and terrifying, and when he saw Lu Meng, he concluded that Lu Meng had changed; After arriving in Jiangling, he even noticed that Mi Fang had a problem.

Counting before and after, Tian Xin also had a conflict with Mi Fang, and now he is squeezing Pan Jun with words, and there is no respect between his words and demeanor, is it ......

Wang Fu's heart shook, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face: "After the general is stationed in Micheng in the north, what instructions do you have for the defense of Jiangling?" ”

"Huang Gongheng of the Left Protector is proficient in the art of war, and I am about to recommend Huang Gongheng to guard Jiangling. If Huang Gongheng guards Jiangling, our army will have no worries. ”

Tian Xin said and glanced at Pan Jun again, he was also not at ease with Pan Jun, and looked at Wang Fu with a straight face: "The Yi soldiers under my command have been scattered everywhere, and it is difficult to reunite with their own commands. This time I was stationed in Micheng, and the old general Yu would lead three battalions of soldiers to accompany me on the expedition. In the surrender of the army, I was able to recruit two thousand sergeants from three battalions before and after, in addition to the old troops and remnants of a total of 1,000. ”

More than 30,000 captives digested 2,000 people, and the other 2,000 people were guest troops, which was an extra army's combat effectiveness.

When Wang Fu heard Tian Xin personally say this data, he showed relief on his face, and asked with a smile: "How many soldiers and horses are left in the city?" ”

"There were 2,000 Jiangling defenders in the city, 1,000 soldiers under my command, 2,000 auxiliary troops, and 1,000 assassins. I will take 1,000 elites, 2,000 soldiers, 2,000 auxiliaries, and 1,000 assassins. ”

Tian Xin said and looked at Captain Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue bowed slightly to him to show respect, Tian Xin said: "Today, there are 2,000 people under Captain Zhao, and the Jiangling garrison will have 4,000 soldiers, and a total of 7,000 auxiliary soldiers and assassins. The Wu army came to attack with all its might, and there was room to fight back. ”

The 7,000 defenders guarded Gangneung, and in terms of Gangneung's city defense, it seemed foolproof, and there was no need to evacuate Huang Quan from the front line.

Wang Fu pondered about this matter, and Tian Xin said: "Micheng must be a place of great war, and it is extremely dangerous for 20,000 troops to settle Micheng. Taking advantage of the fact that the Wu army was not firmly established, it happened to move the surrendered army back to Jiangling. ”

"The fortification of Gangneung City is a matter known to the whole world, and after the fiasco, the Wu army naturally understood that it was futile to attack Gangneung. Sun Quan will definitely surrender and rebel with his rich lords, one marquis of ten thousand households is not enough, just two, there will always be people who will be tempted, or coerced left and right. ”

Pan Jun's face turned red and white, and Wang Fu asked directly: "What does the general mean, but he is willing to vouch for Huang Gongheng?" ”

"I am willing to guarantee, Huang Gongheng, like me, is a person who aspires to the world, and he cannot be moved by fame and fortune."

Guan Xing sat beside Tian Xin in a serious manner, and at this moment he also noticed that the attitude of the captain, Sima, and several Changshi sitting on the left and right sides wavered, and they looked at each other to make eye contact, and finally their eyes fell on Wang Fu.
