Chapter 698: Zhou Yu made a suggestion

Now, the Liangzhou Army, the enemy of life and death of the Jingnan Army, is already on the way to the south.

The prelude to the war has already begun, and whichever side can take the lead will naturally grasp the initiative in the early stage of the war.

Therefore, if a plan to defend against the enemy can be formulated as soon as possible, and then a defensive line against the enemy can be laid out, it will certainly be beneficial to the Jingnan Army.

At this juncture, Zhou Yu also knew in his heart that he should not have paid attention to Zhou Tai and wasted this precious time before the war.

But, he did it anyway. Thinking about it, Zhou Yu still didn't want to see a fierce general like Zhou Tai, because of blind self-confidence, because he didn't know the thickness of the high ground, he died after the Liangzhou army without reason.

That's it!

Life and death are fateful, wealth is there! Life in the world, in the dark, has long been a certainty.

It's just that we don't know!

The length of life is unknowable!

At this moment, he Zhou Yu didn't know, what was his fate?

However, Zhou Yu has an extremely firm understanding in his heart, that is...... and his close friend Sun Ce, live and die together, and live and die with the Jingnan Army!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu had no more distractions in his heart!

"The Liangzhou army is divided into three routes, divided into separate attacks and combined attacks, the purpose of which is to force our army to divide troops to meet each other!"

Hearing what Lu Meng said, Zhou Yu looked in the direction of Sun Ce, and then looked around at the civil and military forces of the Jingnan army, and then said loudly: "If our army does not notice, it will definitely be tricked." At that time, our army will be too busy to take care of itself, and it will be difficult to save each other! ”

Sun Ce, who was sitting on the main seat, and all the civil and military forces of Jingnan Army in the study, all nodded in agreement.

"For today's plan, our army can only concentrate its forces on one road, and the remaining two armies will only adopt a defensive posture and strive to delay the division and joint attack of the Liangzhou army."

Zhou Yu took a sip of tea and said aloud unhurriedly: "It's just ...... As seen by Yu, the main force of our army was neither Huang Zhong's department to exterminate Wuling, nor Xu Huang's department to exterminate the first line of Xiajun. ”

Before Zhou Yu could finish speaking, Cheng Pu twisted two thick eyebrows, and said in a deep voice with a solemn look on his face: "What does Gongjin mean...... Our army exhausted the main force and went to the front line of Dongting Lake to ...... with the main force of the Liangzhou Army Fight to the death? ”

Zhou Yu's words have long been clear, Cheng Pu can understand them, and the other people in the study are naturally no exception.

"Exactly!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said in a deep voice.

"There is a cloud in the art of war, 'It is better to divide the enemy than to divide the enemy, and the enemy yang is not as good as the enemy's yin.'" ”

Lu Meng thought about it again and again, but finally couldn't understand it, so he asked: "The enemy troops on the two roads under Wuling are all partial divisions of the Liangzhou army. As the art of war suggests, our army should break through the two partial divisions of the Liangzhou Army first, and then we can fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Liangzhou Army. How could Gong Jin ...... Opposite? ”

Lu Meng's inquiry happened to respond to the confusion in the hearts of Sun Ce and the Wenwu of the Jingnan Army. Everyone nodded yes again and again, waiting for Zhou Yu's explanation.

"If it is not bad as expected, Xu Huang's troops on the lower line of Jun will have no less than 30,000 soldiers available to his army. Besides, as far as I know, Xu Huang is a strong opponent because he is good at using soldiers and is cautious! ”

"At present, excluding the defensive strength of our army on several lines of Guiyang Linxiang City in Junluo County, Wuling, the available strength is only 60,000 people."

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to answer Lu Meng's question, but said aloud with a solemn expression: "As you can see...... If our army is full of 60,000 troops, how many days will it take to annihilate the enemy? ”

60,000 against 30,000, such a clear superiority of forces. If it is changed to the army of other princes, the Jingnan army may be able to fight quickly, but if it is changed to the Liangzhou army, the Jingnan army really cannot guarantee a quick victory.

Sun Ce's eyebrows were tightly locked and he was silent; Lu Meng furrowed his brows, thinking about the stakes; The rest of Jing Nanjun's martial arts could only be silent.

"What Yiyu saw...... Within three days, if our army can't wipe out all of Xu Huang's troops, the army will be in danger! ”

Zhou Yu looked around at everyone, his expression was a little more solemn, and his tone became solemn, "At that time, the main force of the Liangzhou Army will inevitably easily break through the Yiyang defense line in Luoxian County, and then attack the hinterland of our army; The enemy forces in the direction of Wuling will also break through the southern direction of Lingyangyuan, threatening the northwest defense line of Linxiang City. ”

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Sun Ce was immediately shocked; The civil and military forces of Jingnan were also frightened.

Jing Nanjun is full of martial arts, and he knows very well in his heart that what Zhou Yu said is not alarmist, but very likely to happen.

Let's take the defense line on the north, west and east sides of Changsha County. In the direction of Yiyang in Luo County in the north, there are only 10,000 soldiers; In the west of Wuling and in the east of Xiajun, there are only 8,000 people each.

Regardless of whether the 60,000 troops of the Jingnan Army can be quickly defeated on the Xiajun front.

With the distribution of the strength of the Liangzhou Army and the combat strength of its army, if you want to break through the defense line in the two directions of Wuling in Luoxian County, I am afraid that it will not take three times.

At that time, the remaining two armies of the Liangzhou Army will inevitably divide into and encircle Linxiang City with lightning speed, and surround the lair of the Jingnan Army.

If it really comes to that time, the army that goes to attack Xu Huang's department can only lag on the first line of Xiajun, and if you want to return to the division to defend Linxiang City, it will definitely be difficult to climb.

If the war turns vicious to that point, there is no need for the Liangzhou army to take the initiative to attack, and the Jingnan army will definitely be in turmoil. After all, the families of the civil and military forces of the Jingnan Army are all in Linxiang City.

At this time, Sun Ce also knew in his heart that it seemed that he could only advance the army to the north and fight a decisive battle with the Liangzhou Army and Naval Division on Dongting Lake.

"You think it's ......"

Sun Ce nodded secretly, and then, he stood up, looked around at the civil and military forces, and said in a deep voice: "What did Gong Jin say?"

"What Gong Jin said is really insightful!"

Lu Meng also stood up, as if he had made a decision in his heart, and immediately, he said in a solemn voice: "Meng, it's too late!" The last general seconded what General Zhou said! ”

"I'll wait, and I will echo what General Zhou said!"

The Jingnan army is civil and military, and they agree with Zhou Yu's analysis in their hearts. Now, with Lu Meng's support, all the civil and military officers got up and replied in unison.

"Good!"

Sun Ce looked around at everyone and made a decision in a deep voice, "In this case, this time to resist the enemy Liangzhou Army, we will act according to Gongjin's words!" ”

At this point, in response to the Liangzhou Army's three-way southward movement, Zhou Yu made a plan to defend the east and west and take the initiative to attack the north.
