In addition to writing about Tai Shici's various lucky S incidents, the letter sent by Huang Zhong also wrote one thing, that is, Fan Chou's army has been assembled on Wulin'an, and the training of the naval army is in full swing, and he may have to fight with Sun Ce at any time.

After Shen Xian picked up the map and found the location of Wulin, she looked at the place where Sun Ce was camped, and began to sigh for a long time.

Set the battlefield in this place, is this to burn the red cliffs?

Sun Ce's side was really worried about how to break Fan Chou's counterattack.

Jiangxia County was almost completely lost by Sun Ce like chopping melons and vegetables, this incident sounded the alarm bell for Liu Biao, if it wasn't for his old man's poor health recently and lying on the bed, he would definitely personally lead the troops to come instead of appointing Fan Chou, who had two hearts.

But even if the commander and the state pastor are separated, the naval army brought by Fan Chou to fight against Sun Ce is the most elite naval army in Jingzhou, after all, once Sun Ce takes down Jiangxia, his options become more, he can choose to attack Nanjun to beat Huang Zu (Liu Biao feels that this possibility is relatively high), or he can choose to go north to Nanyang County to fight Liu Biao's lair.

The combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy has increased by more than one level, and each of them has rolled up their sleeves to take revenge, and their combat effectiveness has become equal to that of Sun Ce. But Sun Ce rested in Xiling City for a long time, and also surveyed the surrounding terrain and fully grasped the shape of the battlefield, so he was not too afraid of these menacing Jingzhou naval troops. After several tentative confrontations, without the opinions of others, Sun Ce himself came to the conclusion that he could not fight hard and must be outwitted.

Guo Jia is okay, Huang Gai and those who have high hopes for Sun Ce are so excited that they burst into tears. Childe, you've finally learned to outwit! It's not in vain!

Sun Ce: I'm talking like I'm mentally retarded.

After Sun Ce made an unprecedented decision not to crush the past with an army with violence, but to outwit it...... He threw the specific operation plan of this outwitting to Guo Jia to formulate.

Looking at Guo Jia with an expressionless face, Sun Ce said What are you kidding! I'm a general! Isn't it the work of your counsellors?

Faced with such a brazen Sun Ce, Guo Jia didn't know what to say. He sighed and was just about to come up with an idea, when suddenly a thought occurred in his mind.

So Guo Jia smiled, he walked to the table, pulled the rice paper, spread it out, and wrote a letter.

"What are you doing here?" Sun Ce leaned over with great interest: "Write a plan?" ”

Shen Xian likes to memorize dense on the paper when making plans, although Sun Ce finds this very annoying, but it does seem to be a lot clearer at a glance, which is more reliable than recording in his mind.

"Write a letter." Guo Jia said lightly: "Fan Yiming will not attack in a short time, he is waiting for us to make a move, we can ask others about this matter for the sake of insurance." ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows: "For example?" ”

"For example, Gongjin." Guo Jiabi walked around the dragon, and he said without raising his head: "For example, Wenhe, for example, the lord." ”

"That's right, ask the third sister! She's pretty smart, too. Sun Ce touched his head: "It's been a long time since I saw her, I still miss her, hey Fengxiao, don't seal it when you finish writing, I'll add two sentences to it." ”

It's pretty smart, compared to you. Guo Jia pursed his lips, paused for a moment in his hand, and just like that, a large drop of ink fell on the rice paper.

Guo Jia: "......"

Sun Ce found that Guo Jia's face suddenly distorted and he stopped writing, so he looked at it curiously. After his gaze stayed on the big ink for a few seconds, Sun Ce blinked his big eyes at Guo Jia and said sincerely, "Huh? Dirty? Then give this letter to Gongjin hahaha. ”

Guo Jia: If I were Zhou Gongjin, I would definitely kill you.

At Sun Ce's strong request, the stained letter was really sent to Yuzhang County and signed by Zhou Yu. The rest of the clean and normal letters were sent to Shen Xian, Jia Xu and Cai Yan respectively.

After thinking about it, Shen Xian divided a part of the military power in his hand and handed it to Huang Zhong, and asked him to do the work that Zhao Yun had done before. Huang Zhong didn't pick either, he talked to Jia Xu that he would come to Lujiang to protect Shen Xian, and he would do whatever Shen Xian asked him to do, and he could take the opportunity to observe how the new lord was doing.

At first, Huang Zhong felt that Shen Xian was nothing special, and she seemed to be a positive little girl who loved life. She got up regularly every day, practiced martial arts in the yard for an hour (she played good marksmanship), played the piano in the study to cultivate her sentiments (some songs were so ugly that they broke through the sky, and some songs were very pleasant, I don't know why), and then corrected the official document sent by Liu Xuan, and the morning passed like this; After lunch, Shen Xian will go to the street to inspect it, there is no fixed route, where to go, during the inspection, she will do some things to enjoy with the people, such as greeting the people, listening to everyone's shortcomings, teasing children and so on.

Sometimes when there is an unexpected situation - sue on the street, then Shen Xian will decisively send patrol guards to quickly control the excited melon-eating crowd, and then invite people to Taishou Mansion, and at the same time find the county order of Shucheng to listen to the story together, have revenge and complain, and then go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers. However, at this time, Huang Zhong noticed a detail, that is, although Shen Xian was smiling most of the time, the county order was always secretly trembling.

Huang Zhong really doesn't understand what a beautiful girl has to be afraid of, even though she is a Yizhou pastor.

The days of Lujiang passed day by day, compared to the war-torn Jiangxia and Nanjun and other places, Lujiang is simply a paradise, sometimes Huang Zhong even has an illusion that "the world is so peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment", when he was fighting with Han Xuantian in Changsha County, he was urged to go to Dongting Lake to fight with Tai Shici, and never thought that he would be able to live such a beautiful life one day.

Of course, this short-term peace is just an illusion, the thirteen states in the world are still full of smoke, and Lujiang is only being pulled by various forces to maintain a strange equilibrium, and Shen Xian is waiting every day for when this balance will be broken.

Then Shen Xian waited for Guo Jia's letter.

As always, business, business, business! And this time the letter didn't even have the words of **, no, yes!

Shen Xian sat and sulked inexplicably and then read Guo Jia's letter again, she found that it was a letter of request, Guo Jia said in the letter, because the Jingzhou naval army led by Fan Chou is also very capable of water warfare, the strength of the two sides is equal and the number of troops is comparable, and it is not a good strategy to fight hard, so I want to outwit it, ask if there are any good ideas to talk about, and everyone brainstorms.

Isn't it your Guo Jia's forte to think of good strategies? Why do you still write around asking questions? Did you just want to write to me, but you couldn't pull your face, so you made an excuse? Shen Xian thought secretly as she pinched the letter and walked to the map.

Shen Xian had thought about this question when Huang Zhong came before. Now the position of Sun Ce and Fan Chou's garrison is very delicate, Fan Chou set up camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River by the Wulin River, while Sun Ce set up camp on the south bank of Chibi, not far from Xiling City.

It's like fate.

"This is Fan Yiming's troops, here is ours, it is said that the two sides are evenly matched, see if there is any good way to break the enemy?"

Since Guo Jia wanted to brainstorm, Shen Xian brought Huang Zhong and Liu Miao to discuss the matter together.

Liu Miao is a northerner, and he has not been in the south for a long time, so he does not know much about the situation in the south, so he did not speak rashly. And although Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang, is not on the south side of the Yangtze River, he has been in Changsha for a long time, so he spoke first.

"June is the rainy season of the Yangtze River, with high temperatures and rain, humid climate, and easy to burst into floods." Huang Zhong looked at the positions of Chibi and Wulin and said: "When I left Dongting Lake, Mr. Wenhe arranged for General Taishi to repair the dikes in various places, because he was afraid that the flood disaster would suddenly affect the people. ”

Looking at Huang Zhong's slightly frowning brows, Shen Xian asked, "What do you mean...... Now is not suitable for a water fight on the Yangtze River? ”

Huang Zhong nodded: "Yes, the Yangtze River is turbulent, and it is easy to have accidents when boating in normal times, let alone fighting, this is a natural barrier." ”

"Then we can't just stop here." Shen Xian said helplessly: "But what you said is really good, it is inconvenient to fight on the water...... How about bringing them ashore? ”

"Ashore?" Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he muttered: "This is a good idea, isn't Ziyi on the other side of Dongting Lake?" You can let them lay an ambush in advance, and once you lure the enemy to the riverbank, you can outflank and cut off the rear route. ”

"Not only that, Fan Yiming came this time, and the supply of the army was drawn from Jiangling City," Shen Xian clapped her hands: "If the eldest brother moves quickly and destroys Fan Yiming's army before the Jiangling side notices, we can pretend to be the defeated Jingzhou soldiers to infiltrate Jiangling City, and the inside and outside should cooperate to break it in one fell swoop, without this rear base, Zhaoji's side can also break the siege." ”

Huang Zhong looked at Shen Xian's confident appearance when she was talking, and suddenly smiled slightly.

“…… That's the plan, but it's a little more detailed, so let's take a closer look......"

Shen Xian was thinking of attacking with fire before, originally, there was no need to burn in Chibi, how could she still be worthy of the name of this place? But if you think about it carefully, it is completely unnecessary, and it is unlikely that the battle of Chibi will be completely routine.

First of all, when Zhou Yu burned Boss Cao in history, the Sun-Liu coalition army was in a weak position and needed to use tactics to consume a large number of enemy troops. But now that Sun Ce and Fan Chou are evenly matched, surrendering or something looks very unreliable and not credible at all.

Then the battle of Chibi in history was fought with Boss Cao, this northerner didn't know much about the market, and for the sake of the northern sergeants, the warships were connected with iron locks to form a large camp. But now Sun Ce's opponent is Fan Chou, not Cao Cao, although Fan Chou is not very good at water warfare, but Cai Mao is good at it, and Jingzhou's water army has also been tested in water warfare for a long time, and will not make the mistake of Boss Cao's iron chain at all.

Finally, historically, the war took place in winter, when the weather was dry and the firewood was flammable, unlike in June, when the climate was humid, warm and rainy. If you attack with fire, it finally burns, and it turns out to burn and rain while it burns, won't it burn in vain?

Therefore, the plan of fire attack was unrealistic, and Shen Xian had to give up the plan to burn Chibi and reconsider other strategies.

It can't be burned, and there are still plans such as flooding and poisoning. However, the flooding of the Yangtze River will also flood the Chibi where our army is located, after all, the main channel of the Yangtze River is different from other small tributaries, and it is difficult to control it once it breaks.

As for poisoning...... Where to go? The summer plague is indeed easy to spread, but thinking of the plague that Lujiang encountered before, Shen Xian shook her head and dispelled this thought. She was glad that she had eradicated the plague before it had even had time to spread, rather than spreading it to more people.

Therefore, it is better to poison and spread plague in a large area.

So after consulting for a long time, I found that if I didn't want to just face it, I could only lead people ashore and outflank them back and forth. But feint is a technical job like deception, how to play it without making people realize that something is wrong...... Oh, this matter is something that Sun Ce needs to worry about, after all, Shen Xian is only responsible for making ideas.

"Actually, it would be nice if we were on the north bank of the Yangtze River." Shen Xian pointed to Hua Rong's location: "This is the famous Yunmeng Daze in the land of Jingchu, which is muddy, if you can drive Fan Yiming's army to escape into it......"

"If your lord is fighting with this in mind, you can do it here." Huang Zhong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, he pointed to the location of Dongting Lake: "Compared to the Yangtze River, the water flow of Dongting Lake is much smoother, you can find a way to transfer the battlefield here, and then let Taishi Ziyi ambush in advance." ”

"Good idea." Liu Miao narrowed his eyes: "But how can Fan Yiming take advantage of the victory to chase Changsha County after thinking that he has won, instead of going down the Yangtze River to Yuzhang County?" ”

Shen Xian blinked: "Has the news of Han Xuan's defection to us spread?" ”

Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, he looked at Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong shook his head hesitantly: "This...... I don't know. ”

"Say hello." Shen Xian dragged the rice paper and spread it out, ready to write a reply to Guo Jia: "Just tell them the plan we just discussed, feign defeat, lure the enemy ashore, go to Dongting, and annihilate them in one fell swoop-"

Shen Xian suddenly closed her mouth as she spoke, she looked at the brush in her hand, and then at the snow-white rice paper, and finally silently stuffed the wolf into Liu Xuan's hand.

"You write, I say." Shen Xian said expressionlessly holding her arms.

The words are not good-looking sadness.

A few days later, Sun Ce received a reply from Shen Xian, Jia Xu, and Zhou Yu on the same day—one of whom was Zhou Yu himself.

This made Sun Ce sigh that these three people were really tacit! While screaming, he ran towards Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stretched out a hand to push his husky-like brother aside, and said to Guo Jia, who followed slowly, "Go in and talk in detail." ”

"You're coming to Xiling, what should Yuzhang do?"

Guo Jia asked casually, he knew that Zhou Yu was not an impulsive person, he must have already arranged a back road, and this question was just to reassure the veterans under Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu knew what he meant when he heard the words, and he explained: "My friend Lu Zijing came to defect some time ago, and I entrusted Yuzhang to him. Zijing is righteous and bold, and he is quite quick and wise, and he is far-sighted, so you don't have to worry. ”

Huang Gai really wants to say that this Lu Zijing is a hairy boy who came out of nowhere, we are not at ease, okay! Then I heard Sun Cele say he: "Ah, I know Zijing, you told me about him, it's good." ”

Huang Gai: "......"

It's good, boy! Wake up!

Sun Ce nodded, it didn't make sense for others to entangle this matter anymore, Cheng Pu secretly pulled the hem of Huang Gai's clothes and signaled him to discuss this later.

"What are you doing here?" Sun Ce scratched his head and asked, "We're okay here." ”

Zhou Yu paused, and said indifferently: "I'm not at ease, come and take a look, and I'll go back when you defeat Fan Yiming." ”

"Good!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with burning eyes: "Gongjin, I'm relieved when you come!" ”

Guo Jia smiled and did not speak.

After a few words of greeting, Zhou Yu didn't talk nonsense, he originally came to attack Fan Chou, so he immediately got straight to the point and said: "I don't fight a water battle in this battle, and lead them to a decisive battle ashore." ”

Sun Ce just wanted to refute, Guo Jia shook the two letters in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's see what others say." ”

Jia Xu's reply was as short as ever, and only one sentence was written on a large piece of paper, which made me feel wasteful when I looked at it: the water flow is turbulent and prone to flooding in the rainy season, and the decisive battle on land is built.

Shen Xian's reply was quite long, and she wrote four full of them, and the handwriting was smooth, and Guo Jia knew at a glance that it was not written by her. He smiled and pushed the last page in front of everyone, and wrote a summary sentence on it: "It is not advisable to fight a water battle on the Yangtze River in summer, it is better to feign defeat to attract people to the shore, if you have to fight a decisive battle on the water, Dongting Lake is a good place." ”

If Shen Xian knew that her views were the same as those of Zhou Yu and Jia Xu, she would definitely have to say something beautifully: "This is really the same thing that heroes see!" ”

"If you have to fight a water war, then use the third sister's method to lure people to Dongting Lake." Zhou Yu smiled and said softly: "I think her method is actually good. ”

The decisive battle on land of Fan Chou's army could not completely annihilate everyone he brought, because if it was just a battle across the river, the Jiangbei camp would inevitably leave guards to receive the supplies, and it would not be an empty camp.

Under what circumstances can Fan Chou's army pour out?

Naturally, it was when Fan Chou thought that this was a decisive battle, and he could wipe out Sun Ce.

Therefore, if you want to lose, you should be defeated, from Xiling City all the way to Dongting Lake, leading Fan Chou to come to the set goal, and at the same time, in order to highlight the authenticity of this defeat, Zhou Yu should send support from Chaisang to go up the river. With Yuzhang's strategy, Fan Chou would choose to take Dongting Lake as much as possible, and after annihilating Sun Ce, Zhou Yu's reinforcements were naturally not to be feared.

As for why Sun Ce ran to the enemy's hinterland instead of Yuzhang County, maybe he wanted to make a comeback with Zhou Yu, or maybe there was Tai Shici's camp on this side of Dongting Lake, which made him think he could turn the tables.

Isn't this speculation very much in line with Sun Ce's stubborn and unyielding character? I believe that Fan Chou will also have this idea.

It seems that Shen Xian is more ruthless than others, she doesn't care about temporary gains and losses, in order to kill Fan Chou once and for all, she is willing to give up the large piece of land in Jiangxia County that has fallen into her hands.

"The ploy...... Abandon large swaths of land, lure the enemy deeper, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop at the right time...... It's the same as Huang Zu's method of dealing with Zhao Ji. Guo Jia laughed in a low voice: "I don't know what it will be like if Fan Yiming reacts in the end?" ”

After everyone's discussion, Sun Ce finally decided on this strategy, so who to send as the vanguard to feint defeat became the most important thing. Sun Ce definitely won't go, running away if he loses is not quite in line with the style of the little overlord, the little overlord should be the type who goes forward on the battlefield until he dies, it sounds quite tragic.

Sun Ce touched his chin and said, "Why don't you go Old Man Huang?" ”

Huang Gai: "......"

"Does the old man look like a surrendered man!" Huang Gai roared angrily: "Let Demou go!" ”

Cheng Pu: "......" Who did I recruit and provoke whom?

Sun Ce lowered his head and snickered.

"Actually, I don't mind if I go, but it's obvious that it's wrong when I lead the troops......" Guo Jia said slowly, he glanced at Zhou Yu, and reluctantly turned his gaze to Huang Gai: "Old man, don't say it, this job is still yours." ”

"How?" Huang Gai asked with a frown.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and was silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, Huang Gai said with some irritation: "Tsk, what do you have to say!" At this time, can the old man still deal with you? ”

Sun Ce pursed his lips and said in his heart, "How many days have you been thinking about it!" Then I saw Guo Jia solemnly snort Huang Gai, and he said: "The whole army knows that the old man, you and Taishizi are not in agreement, and you are also quite dissatisfied with the lord, and you deliberately lost and fled while the two armies were facing each other...... It's understandable to think about. ”

As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Zhou Yu continued: "After the defeat, you were held accountable by Bo Fu, and you were dissatisfied, so in a fit of anger, you decided to take someone else to go elsewhere, and then ......"

Zhou Yu paused, and he also gave Huang Gai the same as Guo Jia: "What do you think?" ”

The sound of a pounding heartbeat could be heard quietly in the big tent, and then Sun Ce suddenly clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, only to see his face full of sudden realization: "Oh...... I see, do you mean to let the old man feint first, and then go to deceive him? ”

Huang Gai thought about it, and finally agreed to Guo Jia and Zhou Yu's proposal. Although he doesn't like these juniors who are always messing around, there is really no other way than to deceive and fight hard at the moment. For these battle-hardened veteran generals, human life is particularly precious, and it is what they all hope that a war can make more people live, and if they can use strategies to reduce the casualties of our army, it is not a big deal for Huang Gai himself to be a little wronged.

"We need to think about it again." Zhou Yu groaned: "If you don't do something, Fan Yiming won't believe that the old man really surrendered." ”

Sun Ce took Shen Xian's four large letters and looked at them, he pointed to one of them and asked, "Why did the third sister ask us, did Jingzhou already know the news of Han Xuan's surrender?" ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia blinked, he took the letter and read it completely with Zhou Yu.

"I see...... Zhou Yu smiled: "The third sister means to let Fan Yiming and Han Xuan fight Ziyi back and forth, with the support of the 'allies', Fan Yiming will go to Dongting Lake more at ease." ”

"Speaking of which, Wen He did seem to tell me not to talk about Han Xuan's surrender everywhere before leaving...... Sun Ce suddenly muttered, "Could it be that he expected it a long time ago?" ”

"Presumably just in case." Guo Jia pouted: "Wenhe has always been leaky. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense." Sun Ce spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "As for whether Huang Zu and Fan Yiming can find out about this news, I don't know." ”

"Take a gamble." Zhou Yu patted Sun Ce on the shoulder: "Sometimes you have to learn the indifferent attitude of the third sister, anyway, even if Fan Yiming knows that Han Xuan's side is a trap, he will still come over." ”

Even if it has been in a stalemate in Wulin, there will be no results, there is always one side that has to take the initiative to decide the winner, Sun Ce took the first step, Fan Chou will definitely continue to keep up, once both sides move, the balance is broken, it is impossible to return to the previous stalemate, even if Fan Chou knows that it is a trap, he has to come.

And once Fan Chou came ashore and gradually got out of the confines of Jiangling City, Huang Zu could not shelter him.

After all, Huang Zu still had Cai Yan on his side, and most of the troops were invested in Yiling, and Jiangling was just an empty shell.

"Then there's only one question left now."

With Sun Ce's words, everyone turned their eyes to Huang Gai in unison, and that kind of interested gaze made Huang Gai creepy.

"Old man," Sun Ce asked with sincerity on his face, "what can you do to convince people that you are really going to surrender?" ”
