"Our Jiangdong soldiers and horses, invincible across the river, how can we not survive, we must survive if we can't survive!" Lu Meng glanced coldly at the general who spoke, and said: "There are only 57,000 soldiers and horses left in Jingzhou, Guan Yu led 20,000 troops to defend Xiangyang, Jiangling is reported to have 10,000 troops, there are 8,000 soldiers and horses here in the public security, and the remaining nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses are distributed in various places to guard.

At present, we can only storm the public security and attract the soldiers and horses on the Jingzhou side to give the governor a chance to conquer Jingnan in a short time. If we can't pose a threat to the public security anymore, after the governor's action, Guan Yu will lead his troops to resist the governor, so this operation will fail.

So we can only storm and put pressure on the defenders here, and I will inform the Governor of the situation here later, and ask the Governor to move. ”

After Lu Meng returned to the camp, he immediately revised a letter and sent it to Zhou Yu to inform the public security of the situation.

Although Lü Meng informed Zhou Yu in a letter, the attack on the water village was still ongoing.

It's just that Ma Jian refused to defend the camp, and Lu Meng attacked for several days in a row, but with little success.

A few days later, Zhou Yu received a letter from Lu Meng.

When he received Lü Meng's letter, Zhou Yu was already on his way to Yiyang.

Before Zhou Yu moved his troops, he had been stationed in Ai County, on the border between Yuzhang County and Changsha County.

Ai County is not only located on the border of Changsha County, but also has a river called Luobo River in its territory.

Luobo River, originating from the border of Ai County, flows from east to west, and finally converges into Luobo Lake, its lake is connected with Zishui and Xiangshui, after entering Luobo Lake, you can turn to Zishui, go straight to Yiyang, you can also transfer to Xiangshui, seize Changsha Zhizhi Linxiang.

However, Zhou Yu planned to take the road of marching along Zishui to Yiyang, because Yiyang is located in the northwest of Changsha County, not far from Wuling County.

Along the Luo Po River, turn to Zishui, and then march to the northwest, conquer the Wuling Zhizhi Linruan, there are only three cities on the way, the order is Luo County, Yiyang, Linruan.

In the territory of Changsha County, you can directly take the waterway, the Jiangdong naval army is unparalleled in the world, and the speed of marching on the water far exceeds that of the land.

Therefore, this set of marching strategies, if these three cities are not blocked by heavy troops, it will only take fifteen days at most to complete.

These three cities are all located in Changsha County, the north of Wuling County, and after taking these three cities, a defense line to isolate Jingnan was basically built, and Zhou Yu blocked Jingbei's reinforcements in the north. The southern counties only need to divide the troops and pacify, and Jingnan can be owned by Jiangdong.

If the reinforcements from Jingbei came slowly, Zhou Yu could pacify Jingnan even before the reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, Zhou Yu is leading the fleet from Ai County to enter the Jingnan territory along the Luobo River.

Although Lü Meng's purpose in attacking Gong'an was to attract the Jingzhou army, Zhou Yu would not wait until Jingzhou's soldiers and horses had gathered in Gong'an before he moved his troops to attack Jiangling.

Although it is said that to start a war, it is necessary to find fighters, and there must be suitable opportunities.

However, there are fighters in the world that are not 100% sure, and those who win battles are often fought in the middle of the fire. Waiting for a fighter that is 100% sure is easy to miss a good opportunity.

Although Lü Meng did not attract the main forces of Jingzhou to the public security, Zhou Yu believed that Zhuge Liang's absence in Jingzhou was a God-given fighter.

Therefore, Zhou Yu led his troops into Changsha County a few days after Lü Meng sent his troops.

Now that he received Lu Meng's letter, although Lu Meng did not put too much pressure on the public security guards, Zhou Yu was not worried.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, now Jingzhou can only stop him Guan Yu, Guan Yu can not move lightly in Xiangyang, even if Guan Yu leads troops to attack him, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang can not move, so they can only mobilize troops and horses from all over the country.

And Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are now scattered all over the place, even if Guan Yu gathers a large army and rushes to Jingnan to support him, at least it will be a month later.

One month is enough to sweep Jingnan.

A fleet of more than 30,000 people and hundreds of thousands of warships were spread on the river, covering the sky and the sun, as far as the eye could see.

Zhou Yu was on top of a building boat, holding Lu Meng's letter in his hand and reading it carefully.

Zhou Yu is now eight Chinese New Year's Eve, but the years have not left any traces on him, dressed in white armor, with a fair complexion, extraordinary handsomeness, two whiskers on his lips, his appearance does not look like thirty-eight years old, but like twenty-eight years old, or even younger.

"Lu Meng sent a letter saying that there were only 8,000 soldiers and horses on the public security side, and his guard Ma Tan was arrogant and divided his troops into Shuizhai, and he was defeated, presumably the public security soon could not hold on, and asked Jiangling to send reinforcements, and he asked us to quickly send troops to attack Changsha." Zhou Yu said to the generals while silently taking Lu Meng's letter into his arms.

Zhou Yu did not tell the generals the true content of Lü Meng's letter, so as not to float the army's morale.

Seeing that Zhou Yu directly put the letter into his arms, the generals were embarrassed to ask to watch it.

"My army has been marching for a day, and it is going down the river, and it should be Luo County not far ahead, right?" Inevitably suspicious, Zhou Yu deliberately diverted the topic, pointed to the river in front of him and said.

General Ling Tong heard the words and gave his hand out.

I saw that Ling Tong was extremely tall, with a height of eight feet, reminding him that he was mighty and strong, and he was about twenty-five years old.

Ling Tong is a rising star in Jiangdong, and his martial arts are superb, and now he is not weaker than Tai Shici. Moreover, he is familiar with military books, and he is a general trained by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. This time, Zhou Yu sent troops, so he handed over confidential matters such as inquiring about news and sending scouts to Ling Tong to be responsible.

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Ling Tong arched his hand and said: "In front of Luo County, Luo County is short, and the defenders are only three or five hundred people, so don't worry!" ”

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, looked at the generals, and then his eyes fell on a general, looked at him and said: "Xie Jing, Luo County is short, and the defenders are only less than five hundred, so I won't get off the ship if I don't want to delay time, and later you will lead a fleet of 3,000 people to stay in Luo County, and after conquering Luo County, divide other nearby counties, there must be no mistake!" ”

Xie Jing is a fierce general in Jiangdong, with the courage of ten thousand people, during the Battle of Yiling, he broke Liu Bei from Lu Xun, and fought with Zhang Bao, fighting bravely for dozens of rounds.

Zhou Yu said, and then advised: "Remember that during the division of counties, remember not to disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" These cities, the people, will belong to my Jiangdong in the future, and you must treat them as you treat the people of my Jiangdong. ”

"The last general will remember the orders of the governor!" Xie Jing heard the words and gave up his hand.

The fleet soon arrived at Luo County, where Xie Jing led a fleet of 3,000 men to break away from Zhou Yu and lead his troops to attack Luo County alone.

Zhou Yu glanced at the dwarf county towns on both sides, and then withdrew his gaze, such a small city really couldn't arouse his interest.

Even Pang Tong did not deploy troops and horses in Luo County, Luo County was too small and not steep, so it could not be defended.

Zhou Yu thought about Ling Tong again and asked: "After Luo County, there is hope, public performance, what is the situation in Yiyang?" ”

Speaking of Yiyang, Ling Tong's face was a little solemn: "There is something wrong with Yiyang, it is reported that Yiyang has been strengthening the city defense since a month ago, and there are more soldiers and horses in the city, there should be no less than 3,000 people." ”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said: "This is also reasonable, Zhuge Liang will not leave Jingzhou without caring about anything, Yiyang is an important town in Changsha, and it is the only way for me to go to Wuling in Jiangdong, it is normal to strengthen the city defense and prevent our army from attacking." If Jingzhou is not wary of my Jiangdong, then it is called wrong. ”

"What the Governor said is reasonable!" Ling Tong praised when he heard this.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and ordered: "Order the husband to speed up the boat, and the troops will come to Yiyang in two days!" ”

………………

…………

Yiyang City, the county government.

The county commander rushed into a study in the backyard of the government in a panic, pushed open a door, and said in a panic: "Military advisor, something is wrong, according to the scout's report, Jiangdong Zhou Yu led 30,000 troops on the water, and it is only a day's journey from my Yiyang, and the warship can't be seen at a glance, and it can't be counted!" ”

"But Zhou Yu'er is here, and he actually scared you like this, am I not here?" Seeing that the county order was so frightened, Pang Tong frowned, slapped the table and scolded.

The county commander shrunk his neck, and kept beating the drum in his heart: "Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, and Cao Cao's army of more than 200,000 is still ...... Our army has only ...... Only eight thousand, how to ......"

Seeing this, Pang Tong was furious, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Hmph, defeating Cao Cao back then was the joint work of my lord and Zhou Yu, and the Red Cliff Fire Attack was Huang Gai's strategy, coupled with the rampant plague of Cao Bing, Cao thief burned the ship and retreated, so that Zhou Yu won this name in vain, why is he afraid?" Go and call Captain Lin for me! ”

"No!" The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly went out to call Lin Xiao.

"Zhou Yu won more with less back then, defeated Cao Thief, his fame was too great, this county order is still scared like this, and ordinary soldiers are afraid that it is even more unbearable!" Pang Tong frowned and muttered: "It seems that I can't be soft-hearted, I have to change my plan and kill Zhou Yu's majesty!" ”

After a while, Lin Xiao walked into the room and arched his hand: "Strategist, are you looking for me?" ”

"Sit!" Pang Tong nodded, motioned for Lin Xiao to sit down, and said, "I heard that you were under Liu Yao back then, and you went to fight against Sun Ce with Tai Shici, and you were seriously injured by Sun Ce's generals, and you have been seriously ill for fifteen years, and you are miserable!" Now that there is a chance for revenge, how about it? Does Captain Lin want to take revenge, with the hatred of Xue back then? ”

"Revenge?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he remembered the pain he had suffered over the years, his eyes suddenly turned red, he stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Why don't you want to? I dreamed of fighting the people who hurt me! ”

Immediately, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "But now that Jiangdong and the lord are in an alliance relationship, didn't you say before that General Jiangdong can't move for the time being?" If he is killed, the relationship between the Sun-Liu Alliance will be ossified, how can it be ...... now? ”
