Fan was stunned for a moment, his eyes were full of confusion, he looked at the potter in a daze, and muttered: "If you don't go to destroy Shu, then what will you destroy?" ”

The rest of the generals, except for Zhang Liang and Gan Ning, who knew about it, were all at a loss. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The potter looked around at everyone, and on his knife-like face, a strong murderous aura suddenly gathered, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a slight sneer appeared.

The smile suddenly retracted, and the potter suddenly waved his hands and shouted: "The order goes down, the armies have prepared early, and this king wants to send troops to the east!" ”

When everyone heard that the potters were going to send troops, their spirits were lifted, but when they heard that they were going to send troops eastward, they were all at a loss.

"Where to go east? Isn't it back to Xiakou when you go east? Fan Hao touched the back of his head and said with a blank expression.

The pottery merchant stood up, looked at the east, and sneered: "This king wants to enter Xiakou in the east, go down the river to the east, capture Chaisang, and wipe out the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop!" ”

Capture Chaisang! Sweep away the state of Wu!

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback, and at this moment, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that the pottery merchant drove the army to Baqiu, and released a rumor to relieve the siege of Jiangling and destroy Shu, the purpose was just to let Sun Ce withdraw the main force and return to Wu, and then take advantage of the lack of Chaisang's troops to suddenly change the route to the east and take Chaisang in one fell swoop.

Not only did he have to capture Chaisang, but the potters also had to destroy the state of Wu!

In the lobby, there was silence, only the nervous breathing of everyone could be heard, as if their brains were starved of oxygen, and they were struggling to digest the potter's strategic intentions.

After a while, everyone's thinking kept up with the rhythm of the potter, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Great King, there is no objection to the strategic ministers who destroyed Wu, but Chaisang has been an important town operated by Wu for many years, even if Sun Ce's main force is withdrawn, at least there are more than 10,000 sailors left, unless our army gathers all the sailors to attack, otherwise with the existing navy at hand, defeat Chaisang, I'm afraid that some of the chances of victory are insufficient?" Meng Tian reminded.

The potter's eyes looked at Zhang Liang, "The ovary, the plan to cut down Wu is your one-on-one proposition, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Liang's eyes were already fixed on the map, thinking about a plan to break the game, and soon, his eyes jumped with excitement.

"Although Chaisang is an important town in the west of Wu, but at present, the main force of Sun Ce's naval army has been returned to Wu, and the naval army is only 10,000, this is a great opportunity to capture Chaisan, and we must not give it up."

Zhang Liang first agreed with the strategy of the pottery merchants, and then said: "If we can quickly break through Chaisang and seize the stronghold of Eastern Wu to advance westward, we can deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Wu army, and lose the geographical advantage of Chaisang, the door of Wu will be opened, and the certainty of destroying Wu will be greatly increased, so this surprise attack on Chaisang is imperative." ”

The potter nodded slightly, Zhang Liang's analysis is also the reason for the potter's soldiers.

Meng Tian said: "Having said that, Mr. Zifang still didn't answer my concerns just now, Chaisang still has 10,000 soldiers and horses after all, just with the little water army we have on hand, if we don't transfer the main force of the water army of the assassin Shi, how can we break the enemy's water army and capture Chaisang before Sun Ce's reinforcements arrive?" ”

As soon as the words changed, Meng Tian pointed to the west and said: "But if the main force of Jiangling's Wu Thorn History is transferred, Jiangling will be in danger of falling. ”

Meng Tian's words also represented the thoughts of most of the generals, and everyone's eyes were on the potter.

The potter smiled disapprovingly, and said to Zhang Liang: "The ovary, now is not the time to hide it, just tell everyone your clever plan." ”

Zhang Liang got the order, got up calmly, walked to the map hanging on the screen, pointed with his hand, and sneered: "Actually, if you want to capture Chaisang, the key is not the number of naval troops, but here." ”

Everyone's eyes were on what Zhang Liang was looking for, but they saw that the place he was pointing to was Lukou.

Meng Tian and other generals, mostly northerners, saw Zhang Liang pointing to the land mouth that could not be hit by eight poles, and they were at a loss for a while.

Among the generals, only one person's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and the person with a look of surprise on his face was Ma Yuan, who had just revealed his talent.

The potter's eyes were burning, and he was observing the changes in the expressions of the generals all the time, and the obvious changes in Ma Yuan's expression could not escape his eyes.

"Wen Yuan, looking at your expression, it seems that you already know that the key to conquering Chaisan lies in Lukou, so you might as well tell me your opinion." Therefore, the potter asked questions, so that Ma Yuan could show his knowledge and talent before the generals.

Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The last general only guessed Mr. Zifang's plan slightly, but he didn't know whether it was right or not, so he didn't dare to discuss it." ”

Arrogant but not arrogant, he knows how to be humble at the right time, and he is really a smart general.

The potter admired it more and more, so he smiled and said: "There is no one else here, they are all brothers who fight on the battlefield and live and die together, so it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

The potter knew that Ma Yuan had the talent of a commander, and he also intended to train Ma Yuan to be able to act as his own right-hand man.

For the young Ma Yuan, the potter needs to give him more opportunities to show his talent and convince the old potters.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to show, Ma Yuan did not hesitate at all, and immediately stepped forward calmly, stood in front of the map generously, and said calmly: "The generals of the Wu army who stayed in Chaisang are all good at water warfare, and the 10,000 water army is even more elite, and the last general is not afraid of them, but because the troops in his hands are limited, so even if the last general goes out and fights the enemy with the current water army, the odds of victory are uncertain." ”

Ma Yuan is a rare victory but not arrogant, although he defeated Cheng Pu once before, he did not have a clear vision, and he still has a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Wu's soldiers and soldiers, as well as the water warfare ability of Wu's generals.

The potter nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

Ma Yuan continued: "The Wu army is very strong in water warfare, and with the strength of the naval army that our army can mobilize, it is indeed impossible to compete, but our army has the strength of land warfare, so the last general thinks that if you want to take Chaisang, you must start from land warfare." ”

The potter nodded secretly, showing a little appreciation, and thought that Ma Yuan really deserved to be a general, and he had already understood the clever plan set by himself and Zhang Liang.

Meng Tian hadn't yet comprehended, and retorted: "There is no doubt that our army's infantry combat is strong, but no matter how strong this infantry battle is, it is useless on the river." ”

Ma Yuan smiled and pointed to Lukou, "General Meng probably doesn't know, there is land and water flowing into the Yangtze River in Lukou, and if you go upstream along the Lushui River, you can pass through the Mufu Mountain on the south bank, and then you can go straight to Chaisang by land. ”

Ma Yuan's words suddenly set off an uproar, and the eyes of Meng Tian and other generals looked at the map he compared in surprise.

They followed Ma Yuan's train of thought, looked at the map topography, and pondered what Ma Yuan said, and everyone's faces gradually swelled with surprise.

"I really didn't expect it......" Meng Tian suddenly realized, and said strangely: "It turns out that there is still this road, which can be copied by land, then we can rush along the river to attract the main force of the Wu army to fight, but secretly send a cavalry to attack Chaisang from Lukou, and we can surprise and capture Chaisang in one fell swoop!" “

Meng Tian excitedly said that Ma Yuan had not finished his words.

Zhang Liang also smiled and sighed: "You all finish what I want to say, then I have nothing to say." ”

Meng Tian and other generals, although they are also quite knowledgeable, but in the end, they are born as land generals, and they are not very familiar with the geography and terrain of the Yangtze River.

Ma Yuan is different, he is proficient in land and water warfare, out of the sensitivity of a water general, his research and understanding of the terrain on both sides of the Yangtze River is far better than Meng Tian and other generals, so he can see the importance of land passes.

"It's worthy of General Fubo, this heroic soul, this king really didn't ......summon it in vain," the potter nodded secretly and was gratified.

In the big tent, the atmosphere has boiled, and the generals who have comprehended the intentions of the potters are all amazed and admired him.

At this moment, in the king's tent, the monarchs and ministers of Great Wei have reached an unprecedented consensus in their thinking, and everyone has no hesitation, and there is only one goal.

Break Chaisang! Destroy the Kingdom of Wu!

When the people are united, the next thing is much easier, it is nothing more than arranging troops.

In this battle, the pottery merchants were about to destroy Wu, and the battle on the front line of Jiangling could only be put aside first, so that Wu Zixu could continue to drag the Shu army, but ordered Lian Po to lead the follow-up 80,000 main infantry troops to Hanjindu and come to meet him.

The potter himself led the existing land and water forces at hand to Xiakou.

A few days later, the potter returned to Xiakou.

In the hall of the military palace, all the generals gathered, the undercurrent of slaughter was surging, and everyone's face was dancing with the fire of revenge.

Over the years, Sun Ce's repeated northern invasions have dragged down nearly 100,000 troops of the Great Wei, and all the hatred accumulated in his heart has already gathered into a volcano that is about to erupt, and the generals have long been eager to destroy the Wu State.

At this moment, it is finally time for the angry volcanoes to erupt happily in the hearts of the generals.

The potter looked around at the enthusiastic generals, and immediately issued a military order.

In terms of the naval army, with Gan Ning and horse aid, he led 7,000 naval troops to approach Chaisang, and it was necessary to make the Eastern Wu naval army go to war.

On the land route, the pottery merchant sent Xiang Yu to lead 5,000 light cavalry, starting from the land pass, crossing the Mufu Mountain, and directly after inserting Chaisang, attacking the enemy unprepared, and attacking Chaisang City in one fell swoop.

The potters themselves commanded the remaining 5,000 cavalry, located behind the navy, and could meet the soldiers and horses at any time and control the overall situation.

"Sun Ce has repeatedly committed crimes in the north, this king has endured him for many years, and today it has finally come to the time when he can't bear it anymore, you can have the confidence to follow this king to level the Wu country in one fell swoop and unify the south of the Yangtze River!"

The potter looked around at the generals, the murderous hunting machine circulating on his face, and the thunderous words of encouragement echoed in the military tent.

"Flatten the country of Wu and unify the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Flatten the country of Wu and unify the south of the Yangtze River!"

The generals roared in response, the killing intent surging like an angry wave, and the entire hall was filled with fierce battle intent.
