As soon as Ouyang Shuo came back, he was urgently invited to the war room by Zheng He. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Your Majesty, something happened to Gangneung." Zheng He's expression was solemn, and he handed over the secret letter as he spoke.

Ouyang Shuo took the secret letter written to him by the phoenix prisoner, opened it and looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed. He didn't expect that Gangneung City had really fallen, and it had fallen so completely.

……

It all started a week ago.

Just when Ouyang Shuo killed Guan Yu, Zhou Yu's army had already approached Jiangling City. Nearly 300,000 troops besieged Gangneung City.

Outside the city of Gangneung, flags flutter, swords and guns are everywhere.

Early the next morning, the army launched a fierce attack on Gangneung, attacking from all sides, leaving no room for error. The largest battle of the Battle of Chibi broke out and decided the fate of both camps.

The first day of the battle, nothing out of the ordinary. After paying nearly 10,000 casualties, Zhou Yu's army retreated like a tide, and Jiangling City was still strong and standing.

The next day it was still the same.

The accident happened on the third day, just as Cao Cao's army relaxed its vigilance, the city gate west of Jiangling suddenly opened from the inside. The Inhuman Legion stationed at the West Gate mutinied en masse.

Zhou Yu's army, which had been prepared for a long time, poured into Jiangling City like a tide.

How smart Zhou Yu is, the battle in the first two days was just a trick. On the third day of the battle, Zhou Yu concentrated the main force at the West Gate, and the other three sides were just an empty shelf.

The large army concentrates superior forces and has internal responses, so it is naturally overwhelming.

This is where the disaster begins.

Cao Ren, the general of the Cao army who was in charge of guarding the west gate, was killed on the spot. Cao Cao's army, which was caught off guard, was beaten in disarray and suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was decisive, and the phoenix prisoner and others remained vigilant, and at the last moment, he led the rest of the troops to evacuate from the north gate and went all the way north.

Cao Cao's destination was Yiling.

Unexpectedly, the army suffered another heavy blow on the way north.

It turned out that Zhou Yu expected that Cao's army would flee to Yiling, and had already set up an ambush in the middle of the road. After a fierce battle, Cao Jun naturally lost his troops and was embarrassed.

After stumbling all the way and paying a heavy price, the remnants finally fled to Yiling. Of the more than 300,000 Cao troops before the war, only 1560,000 eventually fled to Yiling and were beheaded.

Di Chen and the others naturally made a profit, and the campaign contribution value caught up with Ouyang Shuo, ranking second.

Of course, Zhou Yu's army was not unscathed.

Whether it is the City Guard Legion led by Evil Lai, or the Phoenix Prisoner, Bai Hua and other departments, they are all elite troops in their respective territories. Under the sworn counterattack, Zhou Yu's army also lost fifty or sixty thousand.

At this time, Zhou Yu was afraid that he had already led a large army to besiege Yiling, preparing to annihilate Cao's army in one fell swoop.

If Yiling falls, the battle will end immediately, and the undefeated golden body that Ouyang Shuo has always maintained will be broken. In that case, the fiasco of Xiongba and the others would be nothing.

Of course, it's not easy.

Zhou Yu's army was able to break through Jiangling, all because of the internal traitors.

It was the army of Caiyun Zhinan, Qin Feng and Ruan Ping who opened the city gate without permission. I didn't know what strategy Caiyun Zhinan used to gain Cao Ren's trust and let their army sit alone at the West Gate.

In this way, the hidden danger of war is buried.

Knowing the layout of the defense area, Feng Prisoner Huang and others raised objections to Cao Cao, expressing the hope that the army of Caiyun Zhinan and others could be dispersed, and it must not be arranged in the same defense area.

Ouyang Shuo had already confessed before leaving, and he should be wary of Caiyun Zhinan and others. Their current actions are too unusual, with the shrewdness of Phoenix Prisoner and others, how can they not be vigilant.

However, Feng Prisoner and the others were soft-spoken in front of Cao Cao and couldn't speak. The most important thing is that they don't have any evidence to prove that Caiyun Zhinan and the others will cause chaos.

In addition, the one who guarantors the south of Caiyun is Cao Ren, a confidant who has won Cao Cao's trust.

With Cao Ren's support, the matter was finally settled. Although the phoenix prisoner and the others were anxious, they had no choice but to be on guard in secret.

In this way, there was the catastrophe that followed.

Cao Ren, the initiator, also learned his due lesson and died in battle.

As soon as the Battle of Gangneung ended, Caiyun Zhinan and the others were also interested, knowing that they had nothing to do on the battle map. Because according to the rules of the battle, even if they gained Zhou Yu's trust, they would not be able to attack the Cao army in the same camp.

Opening the city gate without permission is already a loophole in the system.

In addition, they were also worried about Cao Cao's retaliation. Therefore, Caiyun Zhinan and the others simply opened the city gate, and after completing the mission, they committed suicide directly and withdrew from the battle map.

The behavior of Caiyun Zhinan and others, to put it bluntly, is a typical harm to others and not to themselves. They fought hard to get nothing in the battle, and they also had to pit the [Mountain and Sea Alliance] once.

After this battle, Gaia is afraid that it will update the system patch in response to such behavior. After all, if everyone played like this, the uncertainty of the campaign map would be too great, and it would be contrary to Gaia's original intention.

Before updating the patch, the [Shanhai Alliance] became a victim and was miserably trapped.

The Inhuman Legion in Cao Cao's camp was originally dominated by the army of the lords of the [Mountain and Sea Alliance]. In this battle, including the city guard corps, suffered heavy losses.

The City Guard Regiment even killed two division commanders in one fell swoop, which shows the tragic situation of the battle at that time.

With the end of the Battle of Gangneung, the direction of the battle suddenly became confusing.

After capturing Jiangling, it does not mean that the Sun-Liu coalition will definitely win. One is holding on to Yiling, and there are more than 100,000 troops, and the food and grass materials in the city are also sufficient.

Because Yiling is the grain and grass transit station of Cao Cao's army. The grain and grass transported to Jiangling City from the north and all parts of Jingzhou County had to pass through Yiling.

Although Yiling's grain and grass reserves are not as good as Jiangling's, it is no problem to support the army for ten days and half a month.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu's army, as the victor, was somewhat short of food and grass. The grain and grass that Wulin transported to the camp was robbed by Zhao Sihu's city guard division. Even the grain and grass that was hoarded in Jiangling, when the army withdrew, it was also ordered by Cao Cao to be burned to the ground.

Things are so embarrassing, as a winner, but facing a hungry situation.

In desperation, Zhou Yu could only arrange a large army to urgently collect grain and grass from various places and villages. The hungry army, facing the helpless people, wanted to know what would happen.

Hundreds of villages from Gangneung to Yiling are groaning under the iron hooves of the army.

Anyway, Jingzhou is under the rule of Liu Biao, whether it is Cao Cao before or Zhou Yu now, there is no pity. For the generals, feeding their sergeants is the top priority.

Otherwise, who will fight for them.

In troubled times, who will really pity ordinary people.

However, Liu Bei, who had not been very successful before, took great care of the people. It was such an unusual move that gave Liu Bei a great reputation.

The poor people of Jingzhou were levied a grain and grass by Liu Biao during the autumn harvest. Cao Cao came, looted another one, and even handed over the rations.

Now Zhou Yu's army has come again and scavenged all the relief food in the people's homes.

This winter is destined to be colder than usual for the people of Jingzhou. What awaits them is either freezing to death or starvation.

If you don't want to starve to death, you can only go up the mountain to dig grass roots and gnaw on the bark.

In the cold winter, even the bark of grass roots has become a luxury. Everywhere the army passed, leaving behind groups of refugees fleeing the famine. Along the way, I don't know how many human tragedies will be staged.

Selling sons and daughters, choosing people and devouring them, are not rumors, but real facts.

……

There is a shortage of food and grass, and it is not easy for Zhou Yu's army to easily capture Yiling. In addition, for Sun Liu's camp, the Shanhai City fleet entrenched in Chibi has always been a hidden danger.

The Sun-Liu coalition fled with Liu Bei's embarrassment, leaving only the Jiangdong side. And the Jiangdong Naval Division, under the repeated blows of the Shanhai City fleet, was almost completely annihilated.

Without this hidden danger, it will be difficult to win this battle.

It is the Chengye Shanhai City Fleet, and the defeated Shanhai City Fleet. If Ouyang Shuo was in Jiangling City, it would be almost impossible for Caiyun Zhinan to make such a move.

It can only be said that Ouyang Shuo planted a thunder for Jiangling for his own selfishness. Now, it's time for the Shanhai City fleet to pay off its debts.

************

Dragon's Head, War Room.

"Tell me, how are we going to behave?"

After sorting out the battle situation in Jiangling, Ouyang Shuo threw the problem to Zheng He and Jia Xu.

Of course, the main thing is Jia Xu.

Zheng He is only the governor of the navy, and in this kind of strategy that affects the overall situation of the war, he also needs to rely on the advice of Jia Xu, a top strategist.

No matter how you say it, Jia Xu is also a "local".

Ouyang Shuo decided to bring Jia Xu with him at that time, which couldn't be more correct.

"Sir, please!"

Zheng He was also refreshed, and kicked the ball directly to Jia Xu.

When Jia Xu saw it, he smiled bitterly in his heart, in the end, it was still obligatory, he groaned, and said slowly: "The siege of Yiling, with only the ocean-going fleet, I am afraid it will be difficult to lift. For the sake of today, there is only another way. ”

As soon as he came up, Jia Xu vetoed the decision to rush to Yiling.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo does not mean. The strength of the Shanhai City Water Division is water warfare, and in the defense of the city, there is no place for it at all.

If you really want to rush to the aid of Yiling, that is, to attack the enemy's strength with your own shortcomings.

During this period of getting along, Ouyang Shuo also roughly understood Jia Xu's style of planning. This person's tricks seem to be imaginative, like an antelope hanging its horns, but in fact, there are traces to follow.

One of Jia Xu's most distinctive characteristics is that he is very good at giving full play to his strengths. Whether it is the beheading operation or the burning of Liu Bei's army, it is the embodiment of this line of thinking.

As for the excellent overall situation, a broad strategic vision, a vicious vision, and a three-point observation of the enemy, those are all necessary skills for top strategists.

Whether it is Jia Xu or Guo Jia, who is already dead, this is the case.

In addition, another characteristic of Jia Xu is that he is intellectual, extraordinary rationality. His starting point was to win the victory, and the process and cost of victory were not within his consideration.

It is precisely in this way that it will be misunderstood as a "poisoner" by the outside world.
