Chapter 133: Repeating the Old Trick
"Major General, Ai Yuan will lead the army to hold the city for half a year, and within half a year, the Wu army will never be allowed to step into the city for half a step."
As soon as he spoke, the generals also heard Guan Ping's worries about Jiangling City, and knew that he had not made up his mind for a long time, because he was afraid that once he led the people to leave, the city would be lost.
After all, the importance of Gangneung Fortress cannot be overstated!
If Jiangling is there, then the southern county will exist, and if the southern county exists, the Jingzhou army will never be defeated.
Therefore, Deng Ai will stand up at this time and surrender his hands to fight.
"Okay, in that case, Shizai, then the safety of the city will be entrusted to you, and you must defend Jiangling."
"The families of our soldiers are all in the city, once the city is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
At this moment, Guan Ping's face was serious, and his words were firm.
He knew very well that the biggest reason why his side was defeated in the original history was that LΓΌ Meng's white-clothed crossing of the river was completely successful, and he unknowingly raided under Jiangling City, which caught Mi Fang off guard and had no choice but to surrender to Wu.
Then, LΓΌ Meng entered the city, strictly enforced military discipline, stabilized the people, and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the people, and used the families of Jingzhou soldiers to attack the heart, causing the collapse of Guan Yu's main army.
This led to his defeat!
In other words, if Gangneung still exists and the families of the soldiers are not controlled, then the outcome is another matter.
After the plan was settled, Guan Ping's face was resolute, and he muttered: "Shizai, Ben will go to visit Yin Beijia tomorrow and inform him of the truth of the plan, he is an old minister of the king of Hanzhong, with strong qualifications and outstanding ability, you will defend the city with him." β
"Ben will believe that Gangneung will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
When the words fell, Sun Wolf on the side couldn't help but show concern on his face, and said, "Young General, what about the county guard?" β
"Him?"
"Let him continue to enjoy the rich life in the city, and don't come to the city to cause trouble, I am very grateful."
As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping showed a cold color, but his words were not good, and he directly ignored Mi Fang's existence.
"Major General, what is your plan?"
In the next second, Pang De asked the key question, and the generals came one after another, their eyes revealing a look of hope.
Hearing this, Guan Ping smiled and chuckled: "Haha." β
"Actually, my plan is very simple, that is, at a critical moment, I will take the opportunity to cross the river into Hunan and attack Baqiu."
"Raid Baqiu?"
When the words fell, Deng Ai took the lead in shrinking his pupils, and then muttered in surprise.
"This ...... This, Major General, Baqiu is the intersection of the southern county and the southern four counties! β
"According to intelligence, now that Huang Gai is stationed in Changsha, he always sends sergeants to garrison Baqiu, and it may be extremely difficult for our army to raid and take it."
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals also echoed Deng Ai's words.
After all, with the current strength of their own side, it is not enough to defend the city, and it is indeed not suitable to raid Baqiu.
This is also the reason why the generals admonished.
Hearing this, Guan Ping looked at the crowd and suddenly burst into laughter, so much so that the generals were at a loss!
"Major General, this?"
"Why are you doing that?"
For a while, seeing Guan Ping laughing, the generals couldn't help but show doubts.
"Shizai, Ling Ming, have you ever forgotten how our army broke through Xiangyang two months ago?"
Half a sound, Guan Ping was also smiling and asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Pang De and Deng Ai thought about it for a moment.
"Major General, you are actually planning to repeat your old tricks and break Baqiu with Wu army prisoners of war?"
Suddenly, Deng Ai suddenly realized, and instantly understood Guan Ping's thoughts.
Hearing this, Guan Ping was indifferent, smiling but silent.
This calm look obviously affirmed Deng Ai's statement.
After thinking for a moment, Pang De was a little worried, and arched his hand: "Major General, when you were able to disturb the morale of the soldiers in Xiangyang City with prisoners of war, it was because the Jianghan soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers in the city had already accumulated contradictions. β
"It is also because there are many families of Qingzhou soldiers and prisoners of war in the city, so this policy can be successfully implemented, but Dongwu is a private soldier system, and sergeants generally only obey their direct generals."
"Even Sun Quan himself can't skip the command."
"De is worried, I'm afraid that the old trick will be repeated, and the Wu army will not care about the Wu soldiers at all!"
As the words fell, Pound slowly raised his worries.
Using prisoners of war to break the enemy, this strategy, Pound was a witness at the beginning, and he is very familiar with it.
It's just that the military system of the Cao army is far from the military system of the Wu army.
He is now very worried about whether this strategy can make the garrison sergeants of the Wu army throw a rat into a trap.
At this time, Deng Ai also had this worry, looked at Guan Ping with embarrassed eyes, and signaled him to cancel the operation and stick to the city with peace of mind.
Seeing this, Guan Ping condensed and said lightly: "This policy, I will decide, you don't need to say much!" β
"Now, our army is outnumbered, if we stick to the fortified city, then once the prince or the reinforcements from Shuzhong cannot come to the aid in time, the city will be broken sooner or later."
"On the other hand, although the raid on Baqiu seems to be extremely risky, it is actually extremely rewarding."
After a pause, seeing that the generals were listening very attentively, he continued to explain: "If you think about it, Baqiu is a strategic place, and it is the main intersection of the four southern counties connecting the southern counties. β
"Xiangshui, Zishui, and Yuanshui all flow into Dongting Lake, but Baqiu is located right on top of Dongting Lake, which can be said to firmly control the traffic arteries from the north to the Yangtze River."
"Similarly, it is also the outpost of the four southern counties that threatens my southern county."
"Just think about it, Baqiu has always been under the control of the Wu army, and the Wu army's soldiers can peep at and deter our army at any time, so that our army will be wary."
"At the critical moment, sending troops to attack Nanjun is also twice the result with half the effort."
"But think about it, what will happen to the situation once our army captures Baqiu?"
At this moment, Guan Ping's fingertips have been swimming on the map spread on the desk, carefully analyzing.
After the words fell, Deng Ai pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Once Baqiu Port is captured, then not only will the crisis in Nanjun be solved instantly, but it can be used as the location of our army's cantonment." β
"Baqiu, it is only a few dozen miles away from Yiyang, the barrier of Changsha, so that our army can use it as a base to capture Changsha."
With the analysis of the two, the rest of the generals also frequently seconded it.
It's just that after a long groan, Pang De still arched his hand and said: "But the young general, even if our army is strong, but Baqiu is not weak after all, the garrison is not weak, and the use of prisoners of war may not be able to make the enemy a mouse." β
"At that time, the major general's troops will be in Baqiu, but they will not be able to conquer it, once the Wu army is encircled, the situation will be critical in an instant!"
"The last general still hopes that the major general will think twice."
When the words fell, Guan Ping did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his hand to stop the generals, then got up suddenly, showed a resolute expression, and said sharply: "The general is already sure to break the enemy, you don't have to worry too much!" β
"No."
"We will obey the orders of the major general."
Immediately, since Guan Ping had already given a loud order, the rest of the generals no longer admonished, so they gave up their hands one after another.
As a result, Guan Ping took the crowd by surprise and made a surprise attack on Baqiu, which was established.
Half a ring, as the generals gradually left, in the inner hall, Zhao Shi, who was wearing a gray long skirt, walked out slowly, walked to Guan Ping's side, spoke elegantly, and said softly: "Husband, did you really decide to take risks and raid Baqiu?" β
After the words fell, Zhao snuggled in Guan Ping's arms, his face full of worry and concern.
After all, this attack by the Wu army was to pour the strength of the country, and it was still difficult for them to defend the city, so how could they take the initiative to attack?
Therefore, she learned about Guan Ping's plan, but she was full of reluctance!
Hearing this, Guan Ping came back to his senses, and couldn't help hugging Zhao tighter, and his concern was fully revealed.
"Madam, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger."
"If I don't think about breaking the deadlock and grasping the initiative, then Lu Meng can wantonly attack the strongholds around Jiangling and continue a siege, while blocking the reinforcements in Shuzhong and the main force of my father."
"If the time drags on, the loss of the city will be a foregone conclusion!"
"This can be regarded as a dangerous move by me, and I have no choice but to make a decision."
In the end, Guan Ping couldn't help but sigh.
At this point, the Zhao family was also born in a family of Jiangmen, so he naturally knew that what Guan Ping said was reasonable, so he no longer continued to persuade and snuggled in his arms.
Gradually, gradually, the two snuggled up to each other and became more and more intimate.
