"Governor Zhao, this is wrong!"

"Although the capture of Xiakou will dramatically increase the pressure on our army's garrison, but now that Hanjin has been destroyed, Xiakou is related to whether our army can sit firmly in Jingzhou in the future."

"Therefore, no matter what, it must be taken."

A seat fell.

Ma Liang looked around, saw that the generals' eyes were all focused, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Although our army has defeated the Wu thieves now, the price it can pay cannot be underestimated. ”

"First of all, Hanjin Port is used as bait, and it has now been burned by raging fire, and it is impossible to garrison it, even if our army wants to repair it in the future and continue to garrison the army, it will take time."

"However, in the process of repair, our army does not have any port to put warships and sailors, so wouldn't it be a natural danger of the Yangtze River to the Wu army?"

"At that time, Wu Shu will be able to take advantage of the Yangtze River waters, mobilize the superiority of their naval army, and cut off the connection between our army and various places, once this incident really happens, then even if our army defeats Wu Shu's invasion this time, the situation will get worse and worse."

"Therefore, Liang believes that it is imperative that our army should capture a new port for the garrison and continue to control the waters of the Yangtze River, so as to prevent the Wu army from occupying the Yangtze River and blockading our army."

"After all, Hanjin has been destroyed, public security has been lost, and if our army wants to occupy the waters of the Yangtze River again, then it must seek a new port."

The voice fell slowly.

The generals listened quietly, and they couldn't help but ponder.

After half a sound, the former governor Zhao Lei pondered for a moment, couldn't help but smile, and then arched his hand and said: "Ji Chang, it seems that he is tired and short-sighted, and he has not thought about the future. ”

"I apologize for your previous attitude, please forgive me!"

"Zhao Dudu is serious."

Hearing this, Ma Liang also smiled, returned the courtesy, and had a peaceful attitude, and did not hold grudges.

In the next second, Zhao Lei and Ma Liang unanimously admonished: "Junhou, we ask to lead the crowd to pursue the banner and pursue the remaining Wu pawns, so as to confuse Lu Xun." ”

"In fact, our army suddenly went all out, rushed to Xiakou, and took advantage of Wu's unpreparedness to attack it."

The words fell.

Guan Yu's face on the side couldn't help but sink, and he pondered carefully about the strategy of the two.

In the middle of the sound, he stroked his beard and asked, "Ji Chang, in your opinion, how much military strength should be needed to attack Xiakou?" ”

"At least two thousand, and the prince needs to personally lead the crowd there."

When the words fell, Ma Liang did not hesitate at all, obviously he had a budget, and said bluntly.

After a pause, he explained: "Actually, now the main forces of the Wu army are all mobilized in Nanjun to capture Jingzhou. ”

"On the contrary, in the rest of the places, now is the time when their garrison is the weakest, and the reason why Liang suggested this is also because he is afraid that something will happen, and Sun Quan will suddenly send reinforcements to Xiakou, and then support the Jingzhou war."

"Therefore, I want the prince to personally lead the crowd to go and quickly take down Xiakou with the momentum of thunder, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

At this moment, Ma Liang slowly said his thoughts, and Guan Yu couldn't help nodding secretly after listening to it.

Zhao Lei, as well as the surrounding generals, also gave up their hands.

They are not stupid, Ma Liang has analyzed the situation so thoroughly, they don't know what to say about Xia Kou, then it is really hopeless!

After a deep sigh, Guan Yu also ordered loudly that he personally led two thousand sailors and soldiers, and fought ships, ships and other light boats to quickly pursue the remnants of Wu Shu.

He also ordered Zhao Ti, Ma Liang led the remaining naval army to control the warship, led 10,000 foot soldiers to quickly go straight down the river, stationed in Wulin Port, and then returned to Jiangling along Yunmengze and other land routes.

The plan has been decided.

Guan Yu is also a resolute person, and he first selected elite soldiers to support the boat and left quickly.

East of Hanjin, on the river.

"General Lu, what should our army do now?"

On the way of the warship, on the deck, Wu General Xu Sheng faced Lu Xun and said.

Hearing this, Lu Xun's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were firmly fixed on the river, and he came back to his senses after half a loud sound, and then said: "Wen Xiang, how many soldiers are left in our army that can fight at present?" ”

"General Qiyu."

"In this battle, our army lost a total of more than 3,700 people, most of which were damaged by the enemy's fire attack yesterday night, which caused our army to withdraw in a hurry, and most of the soldiers did not withdraw safely, but were annihilated by the Jingzhou army."

"Secondly, due to the fire attack launched by the Jingzhou army and the burning of Hanjin Port, our military did not get the slightest news, but it led to the destruction of the military rations in the port!"

"Now, our army has fallen into a stage of food shortage, and it will not be able to retreat back to Jiangdong at all."

After a speech, Xu Sheng's voice gradually fell.

Immediately, Lu Xun pondered for a moment, and then muttered: "In this case, then adjust the direction and order the whole army to evacuate to the public security." ”

"Public security is the land where our army supplies the main force of the front line of the metropolitan governor, and it is not far away from the public security."

"Therefore, the whole army will first withdraw to the public security and report the truth to the metropolitan governor."

After thinking about it slowly, Lu Xun did not want to flee back to Jiangdong, but decided to retreat to the public security.

At this moment, just as he was about to give the order to the whole army, ready to turn the warship and march in the direction of public security.

Wu General Gan Ning flew and rushed to Lu Xun's side, couldn't help panting slightly, paused for a moment, and then arched his hand: "General Lu, please also allow Ning to dispatch a thousand soldiers in the army and continue to lead the crowd south." ”

"Why?"

"Xingba, do you want to enter Xiakou?"

"Yes!"

A word.

As Lu Xun guessed the intention, Gan Ning did not hide it, but affirmed it bluntly.

Immediately, he arched his hand and said loudly: "General Lu, Xiakou is an important city of our army on the Western Front, and its geography is extremely important, so there is no room for mistakes!" ”

"Xiakou, north of the mouth of the oil river, west of the Han River, is the Han water into the Yangyang, into the Yangtze River."

"Therefore, if our army is stationed here, the north can resist the Wenpin Department, and the west can peep into Jingzhou."

"But once Xiakou is lost, then our army's Wuchang, Qichun County, and Chaisang will fall under the enemy's front, and the hinterland will face the threat."

After a pause, Gan Ning's face was solemn, and he said sharply: "But now, because the main forces of our army have all gathered in Nanjun, they are besieging Jiangling. ”

"Because in the past, it was General Sun Huan who led the people to defend Xiakou City, but now he also led Xiakou's soldiers to participate in the Jingzhou War."

"It can be said that the current Xiakou garrison will be the weakest, so I would rather return early and guard Xiakou in case the city is lost!"

In an instant, Gan Ning's words fell.

At this time, Lu Xun also reacted, his face was calm, and he said softly: "Xingba, do you think that Guan Yu will mobilize a light army to attack Xiakou?" ”

"However, according to Xun's understanding of Guan Yunchang, now that the majority of the governors are attacking the city fiercely, and the war in Jiangling is critical, with his temperament, I am afraid that he will not waste time and attack Xiakou City by surprise."

After thinking about it, he said slowly: "Of course, the geographical location of Xiakou City is extremely superior, and it is very important for our army. ”

"Not only must we beware of the Jingzhou Army, but also guard against the Wenyuan Department in Jiangbei, which will take advantage of the fire to rob."

"In this case, Na Xun will decide, Xingba, then you will lead a thousand troops, go to Xiakou City in a light boat, and garrison the city."

"After garrisoning Xiakou, send an envoy to Jingkou as soon as possible to report the truth to the lord and let him increase his troops."

At first, Lu Xun did ignore Xia Kou's location, but with Gan Ning's prompt, he also began to pay attention to it.
