At present, Kou Feng is deployed in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, and there are four armies capable of fighting. Its Wancheng is his 50,000 elite soldiers.

Huang Zhongbu's 10,000 elite soldiers, because Gan Ning went to Shu, now there are only 50,000.

Other Jiaozhou also have Buqi and Lu Xun in Jiangdong. However, the enemies faced by those two places are different, not really

Cao Cao. The only ones who bordered Cao Cao and had the power to fight against Cao Cao were him and Huang Zhong.

In terms of strength, the strength of Wancheng and Shouchun Huangzhong is almost the same, and even much stronger. Because there is one more cavalry of Zhao Yun.

But in terms of situation, Shouchun is now strong and able to attack Xuzhou. Although Xuzhou has Xiahoudun, Xun You, and Zangba to defend, the current army has probably increased to 100,000 people. But because of the vast territory, it seems to be at a loss.

It certainly can't be perfect.

And what about Huang Zhong in Yangzhou? Because of the complex terrain in the area of Shouchun and Hefei, as long as they put their troops in the city, it would be difficult for Xiahoudun and others in the north to attack.

Therefore, Huang Zhong and others can take advantage of the situation to go out of the mountain and attack Xuzhou. Didn't Cao Cao want to kidnap the people of Nanyang? We had no choice but to minimize our losses, and then send Zhao Yun to attack and kill the tiger and leopard cavalry.

But it doesn't mean that we can't retaliate, as long as Huang Zhong can enter the hinterland of Xuzhou, he can plunder 100,000 people and return. If it can go more smoothly, engage the Cao army.

A big win. It's not impossible.

After all, although Xiahoudun's army is numerous, it is only a partial division, and its combat effectiveness cannot be comparable to the army led by Cao Cao now. In addition, the most promising thing is that Xuzhou also lacks cavalry.

Cao Cao's western expedition mobilized all the cavalry that could be mobilized, and now there is no cavalry in Xuzhou. Without cavalry, the strength of the Chu army in infantry combat would not have been hit.

It can also be done, advance as fast as the wind, and retreat will not encounter the resistance of the enemy cavalry. In addition, if Situ Jiang Wan's determination is great, he can also transfer the 20,000 troops under Lu Xun's command, which is currently stationed in the Jianye area, to the north to take over the defense after Huang Zhong's attack.

Consolidation of the food problem in the rear

In this way, a situation is formed. Wancheng defended, relying on Zhao Yun's cavalry to attack and kill the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry, how many can be killed. Some of the people who migrated from Cao Cao in the past can be ignored for the time being.

While Shouchun attacked Xuzhou and fought with Xiahoudun, he plundered 100,000 people and returned to the south to supplement the losses of the people in Nanyang, and at the same time, he could also expand the power of Shouchun.

After all, no matter how much Nanyang looted, not many people would be damaged. Because Xu Shu had already ordered most of the people to move into the city. This is not the case in Xuzhou.

Huang Zhong was taken by surprise, and the people who could be captured may have more than 100,000.

Xu Shu was just watching from the sidelines, but Wei Yan's eyes gradually understood. In the end, he showed a look of horror and said to Xu Shu: "This is going to be a full-scale war." Although the general is the head of one party, he may not have the ability to mobilize General Zuo? Saying that, Wei Yan paused, and said worriedly: "Even if General Zuo can be mobilized to cooperate." But such a large-scale war. The transfer of food is not a matter of time and a half. ”

Xu Shu shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Situ Jiang Wan is a person who understands military affairs, as long as I spread the situation here to Xiangyang, he will definitely order the transfer of Huang Zhong to carry out the Northern Expedition to Xuzhou." As for the food, don't worry. The food in our Wancheng is sufficient and can last for three years, so Yangzhou will not be too much less. ”

Saying that, Xu Ji was still a little proud. This is the national strength of their Chu State, which is densely populated. There are many grain umbrellas produced, and more are stored.

It means waging war, and there are no limits. Unlike Cao Cao, if he intends to start a large-scale war, he must mobilize food on a large scale for replenishment.

They can fight at any time, and they can have food to eat at any time.

Although Xu Shu didn't know the specifics, how much grain there was in Yangzhou, but according to the situation in Wancheng, it would definitely not be less.

"In this way, one defense and one offense can still take a lot of advantage." Wei Yan's face gradually showed a look of surprise and said.

"Yes, take advantage." Xu Shu nodded and said.

"However, it is imperative to get the book out first. Ordered Zhao Yun to attack and kill the tiger and leopard riders to cover his own people. Give Xiangyang another duke and ask Situ Jiang Wan to mobilize the left general Huang Zhong to carry out the Northern Expedition. After finishing speaking, Xu Shu began to sit down, took out two folds, and wrote the order and the public capital. Stamped the letter and handed it to Wei Yan.

"Send someone to herald."

"No."

Wei Yan took the fold, and after making a promise, he immediately turned around and left. After all, there is a military emergency, and the less time there is, the better.

"Mengde, Mengde. Maybe you also think that my monarch is in Shu, and Xiangyang's power over the war has been reduced. But you don't know how much the king trusts Situ Jiang Wan. When there is no king, he can also order the left general Huang Zhong to send troops. If you want to fight, I will fight. If you don't retreat, I'll beat you back. ”

After Wei Yan left, Xu Shu smiled softly and said.

But his eyes were full of murderous eyes

……

The war is already on the bow and has to be sent. After Xu Shu got the action of the tiger and leopard riding in front, he wrote the order and immediately came to Anzhong from Wancheng.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, the general of Chu Town, was resting in the general's mansion and recuperating himself. At this moment, Huo Jun walked in from outside.

"General, the general's order. It is said that the tiger and leopard cavalry and other 110,000 cavalry of the Cao army scattered and plundered the people of Nanyang. The general ordered the general to attack it twice. ”

Huo Jun said as he walked towards the house.

The tigers and leopards will ride and plunder the people, and they will be scattered, either three thousand or five thousand. The so-called double attack is to choose an army with twice the number of enemy troops to engage the scattered tiger and leopard cavalry.

However, this is a great challenge to the general's ability to lead troops and intelligence capabilities. Because after all, it is an army of 110,000 people, and even if they are scattered, they may contact each other.

If you can't double the attack, but are surrounded, then it's a lot of fun. But since Xu Shu gave the order, he had great trust in Zhao Yun's ability.

"Immediately order the spies to listen to the information. In addition, the soldiers were ordered to be ready and ready to go out at any time. Zhao Yun resolutely ordered. Ben's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a strong light shone inside, very sharp.

"No." Huo Jun promised and immediately took the order to leave.

"Double the attack, this time we will definitely take off the heads of many tiger and leopard riders." After Huo Jun left, Zhao Yun's eyes became more and more full of fierceness, and he muttered.

At the same time, Xu Shu's request for Huang Zhong to send troops also arrived in Xiangyang.

When Kou Feng first came out of the battle, although Jiang Wan was given political and military power in the whole country. But when encountering such a thing, Jiang Wan can't make the decision alone.

So he summoned Shangshu Ling Liu Ba, Taichang Sima Yi, Dasi Nong Mi Zhu, Taifu Zhang Dao, Shaofu Xu Tian, Tingwei Zhao Lei, Guangluxun Xiang Lang, Dahonglu Zhuge Jin, and Shangshu Lu Su.

and so on in the important county of the DPRK to discuss this matter.

"The duke of Xu Yuanzhi, the general of the Right Army, must have seen it. What do you guys think? Situ Jiang Wan presided over the government, kneeling next to the suspended Kou Feng throne, with a graceful and dignified posture, glanced at the ministers, and said.

"This enemy attack is a matter of course, and the opportunity is fleeting. Xia Guan felt that the soldiers and horses of the left general Huang Zhong should be mobilized for the Northern Expedition. It's just that Xuzhou is Xun Yu after all, and this person is full of scheming and has many ghosts. Zuo General Huang Zhong and former General Tai Shici may be slightly insufficient. In addition, such a large-scale war. Can we make our own decisions without the king's order? Da Honglu Zhuge Jin expressed his opinion.

"Don't worry. Before you go into battle, leave me something. Jiang Wan smiled when he heard this, and then raised his head and said loudly outside the door: "Come on, please ask the old lady to come over and get the letter." ”

"No." Outside the door, there was an attendant who promised.

"Seal?" Zhang Dao, Mi Zhu and other important ministers present all showed some doubts on their faces. Only a few people such as Buba and Sima Yi can keep their faces expressionless.

The answer, though, was soon revealed. A short time later, the attendant walked in from outside, holding a square plate with a black and inky square seal on it.

Everyone who saw it gasped. This is the seal of Chu Jun.

This is a symbol of the power of the Chu government and the ability to mobilize any army, manpower and material resources to carry out a national war. Unexpectedly, Kou Feng went to Xishu in person, but left the seal in Xiangyang and symbolically handed it over to Mrs. Gan for safekeeping. It is helmed by Jiang Wan.

What a trust.

Now Jiang Wan is already a very popular minister, and he is Situ, and he is so trusted. There is no gap between the monarch and the minister, it is really Jiahua.

Everyone's eyes were full of envy, even Liu Ba. Although Jiang Wan and Liu Ba presided over the government together, they were one and the same, but he didn't know about Chu Jun's seal letter.

Sima Yiben's calm gaze also changed slightly, and he was very envious. just sighed in his heart, he also knew that he was not a descendant of Kou Feng, and he might be reused, but it would definitely not be like Jiang Wan.

Now Sima Yi's heart is a little eager to go back to the past, and he took his whole family to the south. Maybe it can be reused by Kou Feng.

It's just that no matter how smart Sima Yi is, it is impossible to guess that Kou Feng's understanding of him is even deeper than his own understanding of himself.

It is estimated that even if Sima Yi defected to Kou Feng a few years earlier, Kou Feng would still leave immediately. But no matter what, Sima Yi can't wait to come a few years earlier at this moment.

Facing everyone's envious gaze, Jiang Wan's expression was still faint. However, Jiang Wan's heart is also full of gratitude. How precious it is to be trusted.

Especially the whole country entrusts it.

How many of those famous ministers in the past can get such an honor? And now he Jiang Wan is one of them. At the same time, Jiang Wan secretly vowed in his heart that he must plan well to confront the Cao army in the east and win.

"I personally went to Shouchun to sit in the town, supervise the left general Huang Zhong, and the former general Tai Shici to crusade against Xuzhou. Ordered Jianye Lu Xun to go north, stationed in Shouchun, and also served as a defense. For the time being, the affairs of the dynasty will be handed over to Shangshu Ling Liu Ba, and he will be in charge with Qing. Jiang Wan gave the order.

With an order, the Wei army and the Chu army started a full-scale war.

"No."

The ministers had no opponents, and they all agreed to the promise

1st floor
