Zhou Yu used Jiang Xin to play martial arts for two months to deceive everyone in Nanjun. Since a month ago, although the number of people participating in the martial arts show is still the same, many of them are no longer the main force, but a small number of veterans, with a large number of recruited newcomers acting. And the transfer of veterans, Zhou Yu is also very cautious.

He knew that in this Jiangxia, there must be a secret agent of the Cao family. So he slowly drew people one by one. It took a month to transfer most of the elite to Jingling and Zhangshan.

Jingzhou rejects the Han Dynasty in the north, makes the best use of the South China Sea, connects Wuhui in the east, and passes through Bashu in the west, it connects the four important regions on the map of the Han Dynasty, and Jingzhou is also the best passage into these four regions. Now that Cao Cao finally can't help but attack Jingzhou, how can Sun Ce, who is located in the lower reaches of the river, be willing to give up?

The most dangerous terrain in Jingzhou is undoubtedly the three counties of Jiangbei, Nanyang, Jiangxia and Nanjun. Because Nanyang is self-contained, later generations simply assigned it to the south of the river. Nanjun and Jiangxia, these two places, I don't know how many wars have been fought in history. The famous Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Yiling and so on in the history books.

Now Nanjun belongs to the Cao family, and Jiangxia belongs to the Sun family. The two sides wanted to pinch each other, and after Zhou Yu deceived Cao Ren, he immediately set his sights on Huarong and Dangyang.

He originally wanted to attack Xiangyang, but then he thought about it, Xiangyang was far from Jiangxia Road, and he had to cross the Green Forest Mountain. Moreover, Xiangyang is close to Nanyang, the terrain is dangerous, and there are strong reinforcements nearby, so it is better not to provoke. Attack Nanjun first, if you take advantage of Cao Ren's unpreparedness, capture Dangyang and Huarong. On your own side, the situation is much better. And Cao Ren will also carry out strategic contraction.

Huarong, close to Yunmengze and build a city. It is a barrier east of Gangneung in Nam-gun. The water in the lake rises and falls. During the flood season, the lake is a vast ocean, and when the water recedes, it is a swamp country, full of mud and swamps, and it is difficult for people and animals to walk. It is sparsely populated here, the reeds are overlooked, the mountains are deep, and there are tigers and wolves from time to time.

Luckily, it's not the rainy season and the weather is dry. Rao is like this, and Zhou Yu also has to be careful. Huarong also has Cao Jun stationed here, and a lot of grain and grass has been stored here for the state Lingshui division in the front. Zhou Yu took a fancy to Huarong, and also felt that after he could break through this city, the army of Zhouling Cao in front would be divided and surrounded, and the troops in Changsha, if they wanted to come out, there would be no one to stop them in the northeast, and there would be a thoroughfare.

Nanjun Cao Jun from Jiangling to Huarong and then to Zhouling, the three cities are connected into a line, connecting the great river waterway, Changsha Huanggai wanted to raise troops before, you can cooperate with Wuling to take Huarong Road, and then attack Jiangling. You can also go down to Jun and hit the state mausoleum with Jiangxia soldiers. Now that Wuling has been forbidden, occupying the main road Hanshou and Xiaoling, Huanggai's road will undoubtedly be impassable.

Xiaoling is the place where Liu Bei and Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao together in history, and he renamed it as Public Security. This place is close to the river, and it is a good place at the end, but unfortunately Cao Cao suddenly attacked, and the forbidden soldiers came, and they took Xiaoling in one go, relieving Cao Ren's flank worries.

With the army of Yu Ban, the Yangzhou army south of Changsha wanted to go north, but the difficulty increased a lot. In order to distract Cao Ren's attention, Zhou Yu sent a letter to Huang Gai, asking him to mobilize troops and horses, go to Yiyang to feint against Yu Ban, and make a move to recapture Hanshou.

Cao Ren saw Huang Gai's movements, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. After losing Wuling, Huang Gai wants to take it back, which is logically normal, but how does he feel that something is wrong. So he invited Guo Jia to come.

Guo Jia heard the letter, Cao Ren stood in front of Yutu, frowned and said: "Today, the Changsha soldiers are rising again, and the text is coming, saying that Huang Gai's soldiers are going to Yiyang, as if they want to win Hanshou." Since Zhou Yu came to help, why didn't Huang Gai go down and attack the state tomb with Jiang Xiabing? ”

Guo Jia looked at the crooked lines on the map, and replied casually: "Xu is that he knows that the state tomb is strictly guarded by our army, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is afraid that he will not be attacked, so he will not go to it?" ”

Before Cao Ren replied, Guo Jia muttered again: "No, they are not mediocre." There must be a plan in it. He looked at Jiang Xia again, and asked Cao Rendao: "Zixiao, Jiang Xia Guo is no different?" ”

Cao Ren said: "Carefully make a daily report, Yan Jiangxia only plays martial arts in Jiang Xin, the momentum is quite scary, and other than that, there is no action." ”

Guo Jia thought about it and clapped his hands, and said: "No, there must be weirdness in Jiangxia, Zixiao, send someone to explore it quickly!" "Zhou Yu came on the orders of Sun Ce, he must be the general of Jingzhou, and Huang Gai must have been instructed by Zhou Yu if he moved. Since this is the case, then Huang Gai must be responding to Zhou Yu's actions. Everyone was deceived by Zhou Yu, Jiang Xin's martial arts must be a trick!

finally figured it out in his heart, Guo Jia said secretly, Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Gongjin, you made this plan to hide from the sky and the sea, it is nothing more than trying to attack me unprepared, and I am not surprised. Now all the counties in my county are guarded by armies, how can you conquer them in a short time? As long as you show up, my Gangneung army can attack it! See how you cope.

Cao Ren was about to summon someone, but he still trusted Guo Jia's judgment very much. As a result, before the people came, there was a horse from outside the city of Gangneung, coming quickly, and a few small flags behind him shook in the wind, and the knight did not slow down, shouting: "Emergency military situation!" He flew to the gate of the city, checked the talisman, and then beat his horse again and hurried to Cao Ren's mansion.

Cao Ren heard the sound of hooves and was about to react, when suddenly the guards outside helped a person in. I saw that this knight was covered with wind and dust, and his whole body was sweating, and when he saw Cao Ren, he took off a bamboo tube on his body, and said in a dumb voice: "General, the thief army is surrounding Huarong, please help!" ”

Cao Ren and Guo Jia glanced at each other when they heard this, and their hearts were shocked. This Zhou Yu, such a fast move. As soon as his side made a judgment, his side had already surrounded Huarong City.

Cao Ren hurriedly stepped forward, helped the messenger, and said, "What happened to Huarong, tell me quickly!" ”

Seeing that he was wheezing, he ordered someone to watch his seat and pour water. After the knight sat down and drank a large bowl of water, he calmed down a little, and then said: "General, the day before yesterday, an army suddenly came from behind, attacked the camp in the west of the city, and then surrounded my Huarong City. I was ordered by the lieutenant to break through the siege and come to report for help. ”

Cao Ren was furious when he heard this, and said, "What about you Li Sima? Why was the camp in the west of the city lost? ”

The knight bowed his head and said: "I don't know how long the thief army has been lurking outside the city, Li Sima led the captains out of the city to patrol the camp, and the thief army suddenly attacked, attacking like a tide. Li Sima had already died in battle. ”

Cao Ren listened and couldn't help but be silent. After that, he didn't have to listen. It must have been the enemy's success, and after killing the main general, taking advantage of the chaos among the soldiers, he easily broke through the camp in the west of the city, and then logically surrounded Huarong City.

What a powerful means!

As soon as Cao Ren thought of this, he turned to Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, Huarong is an important land, there is no room for loss, I want to help him, and I hope that Fengxiao is optimistic about Jiangling City." ”

Guo Jia persuaded: "Zixiao is the main general, how can he move lightly." It would be better to send General Zilian to it. ”
