Chapter 621: No worries

Zhou Yu convened a meeting of generals above the rank of captain, and more than 30 people gathered together.

The persuasion was rejected by Chen Ji, and the siege was inevitable, but Zhou Yu was not in a hurry. It was originally planned. Overwhelming others with power and winning without a fight is indeed the most ideal result, but who can have such an advantage. At least Sun Ce doesn't have it at the moment, every victory he has won is in exchange for wisdom and blood and sweat. Zhou Yu also longs for that kind of record, he also needs real combat exploits to prove his worth, and the soldiers under his account also need to test the results of more than half of the training in real battles and grow into real elites.

After listening to Xun You's explanation of the current situation and siege strategy, the generals had no objections and expressed their agreement. Since the end of last year, they have not fought for nearly a year, watching Sun Ce move to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and the good news came again and again, they all gathered their spirits and waited for their own opportunities.

Now that the opportunity has come, of course they have to behave well, cheer up one after another, and listen carefully to Xun You's explanation, for fear of missing a little detail and making a mistake.

Zhou Yu's arrangement is very realistic, Deng Zhanbu does not participate in the siege of the city, in addition to strictly controlling the area around Yunmengze and cutting off the connection between Chen Ji and Liu Xun as much as possible, he conserves his physical strength and is ready to attack Liu Xun himself at any time. The other divisions surrounded Gangneung Fortress and launched attacks in turn, training in battle, and becoming familiar with siege tactics. Most of the usual drills are mainly converted from field formations, and siege is a recent intensive training project, so I just took this opportunity to practice it. Although the scale of Jiangling cannot be compared with Wancheng, it is much larger than that of ordinary county towns, but Chen Ji's ability to use troops is limited, and the defenders in the city are not elite, and they are the best sparring opponents in the first battle.

This is the tactical arrangement that has been discussed before, and all the generals are prepared, and for the past ten days, they have been observing the defense of the city every day, and have a certain understanding, but now they are only making the final overall situation, arranging the order of each person going into battle, and how to cover each other. Only by understanding one's own position and responsibilities can one achieve the goal of military training.

Xun You spoke for half an hour, and then the generals discussed for more than half an hour, and finally reached an agreement.

Just when the generals thought the meeting was over and got up to leave, Zhou Yu raised the jade ruyi in his hand and signaled the generals not to leave in a hurry. Xun You frowned, glanced at Zhou Yu, but didn't say anything.

"Gentlemen, there is something that some of you may have heard some of, and some of you may not know it very well, so I take this opportunity to announce it to you, so as not to spread false rumors and disturb the morale of the army."

The generals looked at each other and re-seated.

Zhou Yu glanced at Xun You. The moment he listened to Zhou Yu's words, he knew what Zhou Yu wanted to say. He originally didn't approve of Zhou Yu doing this, but since Zhou Yu had decided, he had to implement it.

"Gentlemen, the situation in Guanzhong has changed, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, that is, my uncle, suggested that the Son of Heaven implement the law change, Situ Wang Yun was promoted to Taifu, Sikong Yang Biao was appointed Situ, and the general Huangfu Song controlled the troops in Guanzhong, and was assembling in the Lantian camp, and it was possible to enter Wuguan ......"

Before Xun You finished speaking, many people's faces changed. Some people are concerned about the changes in the situation in the DPRK, some people are worried about the danger of the military customs, and some people are even more worried that the people in Guanzhong will deviate from Germany and become a mess for a while.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry, and braked quietly, taking in the changes in everyone's expressions. Everyone has their own selfishness, and they usually have nothing to do with each other, and they can't see the loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and they can't quite see the depth of each person's city, but this is a good opportunity.

Just when the generals were talking, Zhao Yan coughed, stood up, and looked around.

"Silence, silence." He shouted, "This is the general's tent, not your own small circle. The general trusts us and treats us honestly, so it is okay for you to speak directly if you have any opinions, and it is not a shame to be a long-tongued woman and whisper? Please remember your identity, you are not an ordinary pawn, but a general who commands a battalion or even several battalions, and is the humerus of the trust of the rebel general and General Jianwei. ”

When the generals heard this, they were all a little embarrassed. Someone muttered, "You're right. ”

Zhao Yan swept his eyes, and there was a lieutenant in the corner who shrank his neck when he saw it, and subconsciously closed his mouth, and then became angry again. He is not Zhao Yan's subordinate, and his age is longer than Zhao Yan, in terms of actual combat experience, he has been promoted here step by step with his military exploits, but Zhao Yan is a scholar, because he is a famous man in Yingchuan, he has won the trust of Sun Ce, so he has become a new field order, what is there to be afraid of.

Although he was not convinced, the captain still didn't dare to talk back to Zhao Yan. In terms of lip service, he is not Zhao Yan's opponent.

"Gentlemen, have there been fewer changes in the court situation in recent years?" Zhao Yan said loudly, his demeanor was calm, and even a little disdainful. "Think about it, starting from the merger of the Yellow Turban Eight Prefectures in the first year of Zhongping, when has this situation been stable? The three princes are like horses, the long ones are only a few months, and the short ones are not more than a month, what's so strange? ”

When the generals heard this, they felt reasonable, and they suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and some even laughed out loud. "But isn't it, even the Son of Heaven has changed two, and the third prince is nothing."

"Hahaha......" The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhao Yan waited for their laughter to subside, and then continued. "The world is crowded, and Guanzhong is no exception, and the only place in the world that can be called a happy land is Nanyang. This is not only the wisdom of General Sun, but also the hard work of General Zhou and me, how can others be allowed to get involved? It is true that Huangfu Song is the general of the imperial court, but what kind of people are under his command, either the yellow-faced hungry and thin wanderers, or the Xiliang rebels with bad intentions, thinking of Nanyang to rob, what is the difference between him and the Liukou, and what is the difference between him and the Xiliang army led by Xu Rong? ”

"Isn't it, Xu Rong has been wiped out by us, and we are still afraid of him." Deng Zhan slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Let's hurry up, take Jiangling, break Liu Xun again, turn around and compete with Huangfu Song, and beat them away, so that we can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." ”

"Okay, General Deng is happy to hear this." Sun Fu echoed loudly. "Last time, I sat back and watched you make meritorious contributions, so you must take me with you this time."

The generals remembered the record of annihilating Xu Rong's 20,000 people last year, and they were immediately full of ambition and asked for battle. Zhao Yan sneered, with undisguised contempt in his eyes. When the generals saw this, they all closed their mouths. Deng Zhan said: "What, Bo Ran is unwilling? ”

"General Deng's words are serious, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't think there may be this opportunity." Zhao Yan pretended to sigh regretfully. "Don't forget, there is Xu Shu in Wuguan. You don't believe in his ability, but don't forget that Xu Shu is the person who rebellious generals fancie. With him guarding Wuguan, whether Huangfu Song can enter or not, I think it's a problem. Even if Huangfu Song is good at fighting and breaks through the martial pass, don't forget that Wancheng still has Wenpin and an army of 10,000. You went out with General Jianwei, but Wen Ping stayed in Wancheng, didn't he want to make meritorious contributions? You still want to finish fighting Jiangling, attack and kill Liu Xun, and then go back to face Huangfu Song, can Wen Ping agree? ”

The generals were stunned, and then burst into laughter, and all the worries in their hearts were put down. Yes, there is Xu Shu guarding Wuguan, and there is Wen Ping in Wancheng, even if Huangfu Song comes, what can he do? Don't worry about it.

Looking at the relieved generals, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and glanced at Xun You. Xun You smiled and shook his head. He knew that the generals under Sun Ce's command were confident, but he didn't expect them to be so confident. Zhou Yu still knows them better, and eliminated all the hidden dangers in advance, so that they can fight with peace of mind.
