Liu Chan looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "Why, you are not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, but now you are actually afraid." ”

Lin Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he shouted: "How can I be afraid, I am also a southerner, I am familiar with water, and I can also exert ninety percent of my strength if I fight on the boat."

It's just that none of us know how to fight in water, and the main combat force is 2,000 Xiliang cavalry, and if we fight on the river, it will be very disadvantageous to us. ”

Mi Fang nodded and said, "Adou, what Nephew Lin said is right, although I have been in Jingzhou for so many years, the water war is still ...... To be on the safe side, let's go back to Gangneung. ”

Liu Chan sat down and said with a smile: "Who said that no one understands water warfare?" ”

"Who understands?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Me!" Liu Chan pointed to himself and said.

"Shizi?" Lin Yuan looked at Liu Chan with a stunned expression: "Shizi, don't be joking, I have been by your side all these years, but I have never seen you learn water warfare." ”

"If you haven't learned, don't you understand?" Liu Chan smiled and said, "Do you see that I have learned Fang Tian to draw halberds?" ”

When Lin Yuan and the others heard this, they immediately choked.

It's true, on weekdays, I only saw Liu Chan practicing archery and learning swords, and I had never seen him learn Fang Tian's halberd, but suddenly one day Liu Chan actually wanted to teach E Huan to use Fang Tian to draw halberds, the three of them didn't believe it, but a month later, E Huan actually fought with Lin Yuan with his exquisite halberd method.

Only then did everyone believe that Liu Chan really knew Fang Tianji.

It's just that where did Liu Chan learn such a subtle halberd method?

Lin Yuan asked suspiciously: "Shizi, do you really know how to fight in the water?" ”

Liu Chan said: "Isn't marching and fighting a war child's play, how can I joke with my own life?" ”

Liu Chan is not lying, he does know how to fight.

At that time, Liu Chan gained Tan Daoji's experience in using troops, and Tan Daoji's commanding ability was considered to be first-class in the world, but compared with Li Jing, Yue Fei and these people were still much worse.

But why did Liu Chan choose to use Tan Daoji's experience in commanding troops instead of waiting for something better?

That's because Tan Daoji is all-powerful, and he is proficient in both water and land warfare.

Tan Daoji is a general of the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Dynasty, born in Jingkou in Yangzhou, he followed Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu across the Jianghuai, invincible, not only good at land warfare, also proficient in water warfare, it can be said that in the Three Kingdoms period, there is only Zhou Yu, Lu Xun This kind of character can fight with Tan Daoji in water warfare.

Although Liu Chan had never fought in a water war, he had completely inherited Tan Daoji's experience, including the experience of water warfare.

At present, the Yangtze River is only cutting off Lu Meng's retreat and cutting off his grain and grass, and it is not fighting Zhou Yu head-on, so this experience is completely sufficient.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in the prince, the prince tells us to go, and we will go." ”

"You're too childish!" Mi Fang saw that Lin Yuan actually agreed, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. You, who have never fought a water war, actually want to go to the river, not afraid that a wave will knock you into the river to feed the fish?

Mi Fang shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, this is too risky, you have never fought a water war, I don't agree with you going." ”

Liu Chan looked at Mi Fang and said with a smile: "I'm going to Jiangshang, go to the public security first, clear the Jiangdong soldiers and horses on the public security side, cut off Lu Meng's retreat, and cut off his grain and grass, this is not an adventure." If your uncle is not at ease, you can go with me! ”

"It's okay, I'm really not at ease if you go by yourself!" Mi Fang nodded when he heard the words and agreed, now that Lu Su's five thousand soldiers and horses have been destroyed, Yiyang is located in Jingnan, even if Jiangdong knows the news here, he will not be able to send troops anymore, so he has no worries.

Liu Chan said to Lin Yuan and the others: "You guys have worked hard all day today, go down to rest first, and tomorrow we will discuss the matter of sending troops." ”

"No!" The three of them retreated.

The next day, in the middle of the main hall.

Liu Chan, Huang Xu, Mi Fang and others stood in front of the map.

Liu Chan pointed to the map and said: "Now we are in Yiyang, and there is a river in front of Yiyang that leads directly to Dongting Lake, and from Dongting Lake you can enter the Yangtze River!"

After entering the Yangtze River, we can reach the public security to the west, I mean that we will first go to the public security to destroy the Jiangdong soldiers and horses stationed there, and then block the Yangtze River, so that there will be no way to retreat in Jiangling, and its grain and grass will be cut off. ”

Mi Fang rubbed her chin and said, "I heard that the general stationed in the public security is Zhu Ran, this person is not easy to deal with." ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Jiangdong sent tens of thousands of troops, and the consumption of grain and grass is huge, so the grain and grass are transported from the river one after another, we have Jiangdong warships, and after defeating Lu Su's soldiers and horses, there are 5,000 sets of Jiangdong battle armor, which can pretend to be Jiangdong's grain transportation team, so it is easy to defeat Zhu Ran." ”

"That's a good idea!" When Mi Fang heard this, she immediately clapped her palms and praised.

"How many soldiers and horses do you bring?" Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said, "It's okay for Cao Jun to surrender his troops, you can take a boat." But the two thousand Xiliang iron horsemen are all northerners, and they have war horses, so they can't take a boat. ”

Liu Chan pondered and said: "The Xiliang cavalry must be brought over, if you can't take a boat, just take the land route." Uncle, please pick a few people in the city who are familiar with the terrain and act as guides when the time comes.

Lin Yuan, I will also hand over this cavalry to you to command, you lead the cavalry to secretly resist the south of the public security, and we will be in contact at that time. ”

Lin Yuan gave his hand to the order: "No! ”

Liu Chan muttered: "I brought six thousand soldiers and horses from Jiangling, in addition to two thousand iron cavalry, there are also one thousand Jiangling soldiers and horses, three thousand Cao army surrendered troops, plus five thousand defenders in Yiyang City, a total of nine thousand foot soldiers!"

I intend to keep 3,000 people in Yiyang and lead 6,000 people north. ”

Mi Fang said: "If you bring 6,000 people, you must all practice water, my Jingzhou soldiers and horses are all accustomed to water, but the 3,000 Cao army surrendered troops, and there are many people who are not accustomed to water, and I don't feel at ease to leave these surrendered troops behind." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "Cao Cao has gone south, because the soldiers and horses of Nanyang are more accustomed to water, and those who are accustomed to water can be selected among the Cao army's troops to go together, and those who are not accustomed to water will stay, and my Jingzhou soldiers and horses will be scattered, so I am not afraid that they will rebel." Uncle, I'm going to bother you to do this. ”

Mi Fang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! ”

In the evening, Mi Fang found Liu Chan again and said: "Adou, you are right, most of those Cao army troops are really knowledgeable, I selected more than 1,700 people to accompany the expedition, and the remaining 1,300 people, plus the garrison in the city, gathered 3,000 to stay and defend the city." ”

Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction: "That's fine, without further ado, let the soldiers have a good rest tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chan led his troops on the road.

Lin Yuan led the cavalry to Gong'an by land, while Liu Chan led 6,000 water-literate foot soldiers to the Yangtze River by boat.

On the Yiyang side, 1,300 Cao troops were surrendered, plus 1,700 original garrisons, a total of 3,000 men and horses were garrisoned.

As for Lu Su, of course, he also followed Liu Chan together.
