Hearing about Pang Tong's upper and middle two strategies, the Liangzhou army and the civil and military officers had different expressions of concern. Obviously, if the best strategy is used, the losses of the Liangzhou army will be the least, and the efficiency of defeating Liu Pan's troops will be faster; If the middle strategy is used, the losses of the Liangzhou army will naturally be much larger, and the time to defeat Liu Pan's troops and capture Jiangling City will also take more time.

After a long time, the Liangzhou army seemed to be thinking properly. Immediately, Zhong Wenwu looked in the direction of Li Mu, waiting for his lord's decision.

Li Mu was still smiling, he wanted to see which strategy he was more inclined to in the hearts of the Liangzhou army.

Seeing that his own lord was smiling silently, as if he didn't mean to express his position, Deng Zhi said solemnly with a solemn face: "Lord! Based on what Zhi has seen, it is better for our army to choose the best strategy. In this way, our army only needs to capture Liu Pan...... Then the Jiangling City Naval Army will naturally collapse without a fight, and the Jiangling City will be owned by our army! ”

As soon as Deng Zhi's words fell, Huo Jun immediately stood up, gave a salute, and then said with a solemn face: "Lord! Huo Jun was willing to be the internal response of the Liangzhou army, tricked Liu Panyu to Huarong City, and then captured him and presented it to the lord. If this matter cannot be successful, Huo Jun is willing to engage in military law! ”

Hearing Huo Jun's words, the hearts of the Liangzhou army and the civil and military also agreed. All the civil and military officers also stood up, gave a salute, and echoed what Huo Jun said in unison.

"This time, in a decisive battle with Liu Pan's department, our army adopts the middle strategy offered by Shi Yuan!"

Li Mu looked around at the civil and military circles, and then waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then said in a solemn voice.

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, all the civil and military forces in Liangzhou were puzzled. All the civil and military officers looked at each other, waiting for their lord's explanation. At this time, in the entire cabin, only Pang Tongren was drunk, smiling and leisurely with a smile on his face.

"General Huo's father and son, they were originally loyal and righteous people, and they wanted to live and die with Huarong City. This time, it was because of my Li Mu that General Huo's father and son gave up Huarong City, and then joined our Liangzhou army. ”

Li Mu looked around at the civil and military forces again, and then said aloud with a solemn explanation: "Now, General Huo's father and son have already borne the infamy of abandoning the city and surrendering, which is not the result I want to see. So far, how can I, Li Mu, ...... Let General Huo's father and son bear the infamy of killing their former colleagues again? ”

Before the Liangzhou army and civil and military could speak, Li Mu still said in a solemn voice: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to admonish again!" It's good to take this opportunity to really check it out...... Let's see if my Liangzhou military and naval division really has ...... It is as strong as the Liangzhou Army's infantry and cavalry army. ”

Hearing his father-in-law's explanation, Zhong Wenwu suddenly realized that the touching feelings in the hearts of Huo Jun and Huo Yi father and son were not only described by the simple word "moved".

Huo Jun, Huo Yi, father and son, immediately stood up again, bowed in the direction of Li Mu, and then knelt on the ground again, his expression was full of emotion, and his tone was full of solemn words of thanks: "Huo Jun, Huo Yi, thank you for your love." The great kindness of the lord, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will not dare to forget each other for the rest of my life! ”

"Zhong Miao, Shaoxian, please get up quickly!"

Li Mu nodded, and immediately, he got up and left the main seat, came to the face of the Huo family's father and son, helped the two of them up one by one with both hands, and then said in a sincere voice: "You two are serious!" As your lord, I should not only think about the overall situation, but also about your situation. ”

Hearing what Li Mu said, the hearts of the Liangzhou military and civil and military people revered their own lords more and more; The touching feelings in the hearts of the Huo family's father and son are overflowing and cannot fade away for a long time.

"Without further ado, Zhong Miao and Shao will return to Huarong City first, arrange all the defenses in the city, and be sure to ...... Liu Pan's subordinates Blocked outside Huarong City. ”

Li Mu turned around and came to the main seat, looked around at the civil and military forces in the cabin, and issued a military order in a deep voice, saying: "Immediately send an order to Dian Wei, so that he is ready to send troops, and when the time is ripe, the cavalry army will rush to attack Jiangling City." This matter is very important, and there is no room for negligence! ”

The herald gave the order, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and hurriedly stepped out of the door and rushed to the Liangzhou Army Army Camp at the east gate of Huarong City.

Huo Jun and Huo Yi, father and son, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately, after giving a salute, they rushed to Huarong City to arrange the defense in the city.

Ma Teng, Zhen Yao, and Deng Zhi also went to prepare.

……

However, it was said that Liu Pan led 27,000 sailors, and after dispatching troops from Jinxiangdu Ferry, he went all the way down the river, and it only took more than three quarters of an hour to come to the boundary of Huarong City.

Know...... The Liangzhou Army and Naval Division stationed troops not far from the south gate of Huarong City, and Liu Pan did not dare to continue to march the army, so he stationed the army in ...... It is ten miles away from the south gate of Huarong City on the river.

Since then, Liu Pan's department is in the upper reaches of the river; The military array of the Liangzhou Army and Water Division is located in the downstream of Liu Pan's department; Huarong City is located in the center of the military formation of the two armies.

After Liu Pan set up the naval array, he sent his own guards and ordered him to go to Huarong City to give orders...... Let Huo Jun be ordered to rush to the naval army to discuss the matter.

Liu Pan waited for less than two quarters of an hour, but he only waited for the personal guards to come, and did not see Huo Jun and his people.

Liu Pan looked at the pro-guard with a surprised expression, and asked in a deep voice with a little anger in his tone: "General Huo is busy with military affairs...... Didn't they come with you? ”

The pro-guard hurriedly replied respectfully: "General Hui, General Huo Jun...... It has already surrendered to the Liangzhou army, and Huarong City has also fallen into the hands of the Liangzhou army. ”

At first glance, when he heard such a military situation, Liu Pan was first stunned, and then he was furious. Liu Pan immediately took up the case, kicked a few cases, and shouted in a deep voice with hatred and anger: "Huo Jun Pifu, dare to betray the Lord for glory? I...... Kill this thief and correct the prestige of our army! ”

Several lieutenants in the cabin had long been frightened by Liu Pan's monstrous anger, and they were as cold as a cicada and did not dare to speak out to comfort them. The pro-guard was even more trembling, and he didn't dare to come out.

Seeing the submissive expressions of the generals, Liu Pan became more and more hateful, and immediately shouted angrily: "Immediately pass on my general's order...... The three armies, large and small, entered Huarong City. Do not break Huarong City...... If you don't capture and kill Huo Jun's thief, the general will never retreat, dare to hesitate, and there will be no forgiveness! ”

Liu Pan's heralds, how dare they hesitate for a breath, and hurriedly give the order.

"Why is the general angry?"

The herald was about to go out when a hearty voice came from the door of the cabin.
