Chapter 131: The Great Army Has Arrived
Two days passed, and on the river around Hanjin, there was still a tide of fighting, and a tragic water battle broke out.
However, since suffering the first self-interest, Lu Xun has also made rapid progress, and the coordination of the dispatch of the navy is also orderly, and he gradually drew with the Jingzhou army.
This can't help but make Guan Yu regard it as a big problem even more.
At the same time, the public security city.
At the port, at this time, I saw that on the surrounding river, there were many warships, and they drove to the port in an orderly manner, and then the soldiers and soldiers of Wu also went ashore to line up.
At this moment, Lu Meng led Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and other generals, as well as a group of guards, gathered on the bank of the plank road and stood.
In the middle of the sound, the main ship of Zhuge Jin, Han Dang and others approached the shore, and then slowly went ashore.
Immediately, General Lu Meng greeted him first, with a smile on his face, and said, "Ziyu, you have finally arrived with the army!" β
"It's been a long time for the Governor of the Metropolitan to wait, and it's too late for Jin to lead the crowd."
When the words fell, Zhuge Jin showed a dusty look on his face and arched his hand.
"Good!"
"Advanced City, you can rest for a while, and then talk in detail about how to enter Jiangling in the general's mansion."
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang from the side, and ordered: "You two are responsible for settling the army." β
"No."
When the order was handed down, LΓΌ Meng led Zhuge Jin, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and other generals to the city on foot.
About half an hour passed, and the generals gathered in the lobby.
Lu Meng was in the main seat, with a smile on his face, and when he saw that all the people under the stairs had arrived, he said loudly: "Everyone, now that you have just arrived, you must not know the situation in Jiangling City. β
"In this case, this governor will first ask Zhu Ran to tell you and others about the current military situation."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Meng waved his hand, and Zhu Ran on the side stood up, facing the generals, and spoke word by word.
After half a sound, the sound slowly stopped, and then retreated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions for marching into Gangneung?"
Seeing that after everyone heard this, their expressions were thoughtful, and Lu Meng couldn't help asking.
When the words fell, Zhou Tai, who was burly and eight feet long, stood up and said: "Dadu Governor, now there are more than 10,000 defenders in Jiangling City, and Guan Yu's husband is blocked in the north of Hanjin. β
"The art of war, ten are encircled, five are attacked, now, our army's strength is several times that of Jingzhou thieves, and the whole army should attack, besiege the city, and quickly capture Nanjun."
"Jiangling City, the capital of Guan Yu Pifu, once Nanjun is lost, the rest of the places are afraid of our army, and it will be decided!"
After a pause, Zhou Tai's momentum suddenly soared, his face showed anger, and he said sharply: "Governor, Tai is willing to ask for war as the vanguard, attack the city first, seize the city, capture the thief Guan Ping, and break it into pieces." β
Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and was very angry when he said this speech, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh raw!
As early as the march, Zhou Tai had already learned that Jiang Qin's troops were actually killed in the waters of Sanjiangkou, and even he himself was captured by the Jingzhou army.
Jiang Qin, who was close friends with him in his early years, and the two of them were put into Sun Ce's account together, and the relationship was irreversible, and now he was captured, and he was about to come to Jingzhou City, how could Zhou Tai not hate Guan Ping?
When the words fell, the veteran Han Dang also stood up and shouted: "Youping is reasonable!" β
"Today, our army is several times larger than the enemy, and Jiangling City is located on the Jianghan Plain, which is suitable for besieging the city."
"Our army can take advantage of the large number of troops to trap the enemy in the city, and then deploy troops to capture the surrounding strongholds, and completely turn Gangneung into an isolated city."
"In this way, even if Guan Yu really breaks through Hanjin Lu Xun's resistance and defense at that time, it will be useless."
"Our army, we should be sure to win!"
As soon as the words fell, Han Dang's face was indifferent and his words were confident.
Obviously, in his eyes, Jingzhou is already in his pocket!
"General Zhou is right, we will second."
"Support the strategy of General Han."
The next moment, all the generals under the order suddenly showed a look of battle on their faces, and they echoed it.
Seeing this, Lu Meng's face was solemn and thoughtful, but he did not immediately adopt this strategy.
In the middle of the sound, he saw that Zhuge Jin on the side was silent, without saying a word, pondering carefully.
"Ziyu."
"General Zhou, what do you think of General Han's strategy?"
When the words fell, Zhuge Jin reacted, returned the salute, and said slowly: "Governor, Jin thinks that the siege of the city is indeed the only strong attack plan of our army now. β
"After all, now that they are unprepared, the strategy of an instantaneous raid has failed, and the Jingzhou army is already prepared, and it is inevitable to storm Nanjun!"
"However, Jin thinks about it, but there is one thing that our army still needs to pay attention to."
When the words fell, all the generals around them couldn't help but show worry on their faces and didn't know what they were saying.
Zhou Tai even said in a loud voice: "Mr. Ziyu, now the Jingzhou thieves are just at the end of the crossbow, how can they confront our army?" β
"What else should I pay attention to, could it be that Guan Ping really has three heads and six arms, and he can still break my tens of thousands of elites with thousands of soldiers?"
"Hmph, the last general hopes that the thief Guan Ping can lead the army out of the city to fight, so that I can also capture him alive and avenge Gongyi."
With a cold snort, Zhou Tai's expression became more and more unkind, and he said coldly.
Hearing this, Lu Meng waved his hand to stop and motioned for him to continue explaining.
Immediately, Zhuge Jin smiled and muttered: "General Zhou, the courage is unparalleled, we naturally know." β
"But since Guan Ping was able to break through Xiangyang in ten days, and return safely by being alone, this must not be a matter of lightness, and we must not be taken lightly with the captain."
After a pause, he changed his words and said, "Of course, what Jin said now is that what needs to be paid attention to is the siege of the city. β
"I wonder if you still remember the Battle of Gangneung more than ten years ago?"
A question falls like a meteor!
In the house, at this moment, it suddenly fell silent, and the generals fell silent.
This, all the generals have already understood Zhuge Jin's meaning.
More than ten years ago, Zhou Lang, who was then the governor of Eastern Wu, led the victorious army of Chibi to defeat Cao's army and directly took Nanjun and besieged Jiangling City.
At that time, Cao Ren's troops in the city did not have more than 10,000 troops, but the result was that the Wu army besieged the city and pulled out all the surrounding strongholds.
However, the lonely city of Gangneung remained impregnable, and Cao Ren still held on for more than a year.
At this time, Lu Meng condensed and said, "Ziyu, do you mean that if our army besieges Jiangling City, it may lead to a repeat of the Battle of Jiangling more than ten years ago, and it will not be able to capture the city for a long time?" β
Hearing this, Zhuge Jin said softly: "Governor, everyone, Jin doesn't dare to conclude that this will definitely be the case." β
"But because of the defense of Gangneung, it is difficult to capture."
"The most important thing is that Guan Yu has been running Jingzhou for more than ten years, and he has already established a letter of grace, and his foundation is unbreakable, which will be more difficult to deal with than the former Cao Jun."
"The Governor has also participated in the Battle of Gangneung, so he should know the difficulty of the siege of Gangneung City."
"Therefore, Jin thinks that this matter must be guarded against!"
When the words fell, Zhuge Jin was silent and silent.
In fact, he still has something to say, that is, Jiangling is connected to Wuxia and Yiling, and the distance between Jiangling and Shuzhong Yufu is close, once Jiangling City has not been down for a long time, Liu Bei will inevitably send reinforcements to help when he hears the news.
However, he also knew that he could not say this, and once his generals knew about it, it would inevitably discourage them from the next battle.
As soon as he spoke, with Zhuge Jin's reminder, the generals under the rank were also silent, and even Lu Meng suddenly abandoned the objective mentality in his heart and began to think carefully.
After half a sound, he raised his head, looked at Zhuge Jin, and muttered: "Ziyu, I don't know what you can do to make the garrison soldiers in Jiangling City lose their fighting spirit and fall into despair?" β
That's right, falling into a fighting spirit is what Lu Meng thought just now.
Gangneung City is a strong city, this is a geographical advantage, it must be faced, and it cannot be changed!
Therefore, if you want to take the city quickly, you can only make a fuss about the defenders.
Hearing this, Zhuge Jin seemed to have an idea in his heart, and immediately said: "Governor, in Jin's opinion, you might as well quickly send a sergeant to Changsha on the way of our army's large-scale advance into Jiangling." β
"Now, General Huang Lao is stationed in Changsha, and he asked him to send troops across the Xiangshui River to the west, and after taking Wuling and Lingling County, he will take the opportunity to march into Shuzhong, hold the danger, and block the Shu reinforcements who may come in from the east to help."
"In this way, after a long siege, Jiangling City will inevitably fall into a situation of lack of food, but the reinforcements in Shuzhong will not be able to go to Jingzhou to support."
"At that time, the soldiers in Gangneung City will definitely be separated, the people's grievances will boil, and our army will sow discord again."
"In this way, as long as the operation is done properly, Jin is just for, and it should not be a problem to take Nanjun in half a year."
As soon as he spoke, Zhuge Jin's face remained unchanged, and he slowly said his plan.
"Deliver a message to the public, let him lead the army?"
"Is this possible?"
"After all, the lord did not give orders to him, and he used troops without authorization, and we can't afford this crime!"
When the words fell, Han Dang on the side showed a worried look on his face, and couldn't help muttering softly.
Hearing this, Lu Meng, who was on the main throne, pondered for a while, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Old General Han, Ziyu's strategy is indeed feasible!" β
"If you simply besiege the city according to the original plan, it will be difficult to capture Gangneung City, which has a strong city defense."
"Now that Wuling and Lingling are empty, with the ability of General Huang Lao, it must be easy to seize the second county!"
"Then he took the opportunity to march westward, relying on the lofty mountains and mountains of Wuxia and Yiling, to hold the danger, block the reinforcements in Shuzhong, and cut off contact with Jingzhou."
"In Pontus's opinion, this strategy works!"
After a pause, Lu Meng got up suddenly, his face was instantly serious, and he said sharply: "This policy, Bendu has approved it, and immediately sent a sergeant to Changsha to give orders." β
"If General Huang is unwilling, he will enforce it with the order of the governor of Pontus."
For a while, he showed resoluteness on his face and did not hesitate at all.
Obviously, LΓΌ Meng has done everything in order to seize Jingzhou!
Now that the final step has been reached, he certainly does not want to give up.
When the words fell, Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang couldn't help but show horror in an instant, so they gave up their hands and admonished: "Governor, governor, no!" β
"The lord did not pass on the order to General Huang, if the blame is imposed after the war, I can't afford it!"
"I hope the governor will think twice."
"Think twice!"
Suddenly, all the generals in the palace unanimously surrendered their hands and persuaded them.
Immediately, Lu Meng couldn't help but wave his hand to interrupt the generals' admonitions, and said loudly: "Everyone, there is no need to say any more, I will decide, and this matter is decided." β
"If the lord blames him, the governor of Pontus will bear it, and he will not affect you, even General Huang."
This sentence fell, and without waiting for the time for the generals to react, Lu Meng acted resolutely, and ordered loudly: "The governor of Pontus has ordered, from now on, our army will begin to reorganize and fight. β
"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, two days later, the whole army attacked and sent troops to Jiangling."
The order was handed down, and although the generals were unwilling, they had no choice but to promise and say, "No." β
It's just that at this moment, Zhu Ran stood up in an instant and arched his hand: "Governor, there is something important to say." β
