Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops went straight to Jiangdong, plus the 50,000 soldiers and horses who went to Lujiang to support Zhang Liao, Zhuge Liang used 150,000 troops this time, which was more than when Liu Yu went south to Jingzhou. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang is bound to win.

Everyone in the Jingzhou family is looking forward to Zhuge Liang's victory, so that they can get the most benefit after the war. Of course, this is their own idea.

Zhuge Liang killed so many soldiers and horses to Jiangdong, Sun Ce's reaction was the greatest, he didn't think Zhuge Liang had the strength to do this. Zhuge Liang led an army of 150,000 to attack Jiangdong? Does he have that many troops? Even Emperor Shenwu personally conquered Jingzhou, although he claimed to be a million troops, but after the investigation was clear, there were only 150,000 soldiers and horses in the sky. In this era, in order to exert a certain psychological pressure on the enemy, the specific strength of the army is generally not announced, and almost all the people who lead the army will exaggerate their own strength, so that a situation with a huge disparity in strength can be formed, which is very damaging to the enemy's morale.

The Jiangdong army in Chaisang City suddenly fell into a panic. Especially the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army of Chaisang, they did not expect that the Liu Army of Jingzhou would use a total of 150,000 troops to deal with Jiangdong. The current strength of Chaisang City, after the efforts of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, now has 40,000 soldiers and horses. To say that although the good and the bad are uneven, it is not a big problem to hold Chaisang City. Originally, there were 60,000 soldiers and horses, but in order to attack Lujiang, Sun Ce gave Tai Shici more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. But the most important thing is that Chaisang is almost no water army now. Zhuge Liang has so many soldiers and horses, and there are a large number of sailors among them, so how can such a battle be fought. The morale of the soldiers dropped sharply. Many of the soldiers are illiterate, and they are not like Sun Ce, who have read books since childhood and understand some truths. I heard that so many troops are coming to attack Jiangdong, can you not panic**. If Sun Ce hadn't always managed the army well, I'm afraid there would have been deserters.

The current Sun Ce has long been closely observing the movements of the soldiers, and the problem of declining morale has a great impact on Sun Ce. Before the fight began, morale was affected, which was not good news for Sun Ce. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu immediately sent people to refute the rumors.

Through Sun Ce's efforts, the military spirit of the Jiangdong Army stabilized. The soldiers all knew that Jingzhou Liu's army was exaggerating its strength, but in fact, it didn't have too many troops. But in fact, Sun Ce didn't know how many troops Zhuge Liang had. It's just that according to the report of the Jiangdong generals who blocked Liu's reinforcements, the strength of this support army alone reached more than 40,000. Sun Ce also learned that the military general led by Liu Jun's reinforcements was Zhang Xiu, the defender of Nanyang. A Xiliang military general with a not very loud reputation. Sun Ce still has a certain understanding of Zhang Xiu, and he knows Zhang Xiu's ability to serve as a cavalryman. Fortunately, the terrain in Jiangdong was not suitable for cavalry attacks, and Sun Ce thought that it would not be a problem to stop Zhang Xiu from continuing to advance.

After Zhou Yu and Sun Ce pondered for a while, they felt that the two-sided strategy adopted by Zhuge Liang should be equal in strength, that is to say, the side led by Zhuge Liang himself should have about 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Such an analysis is very reasonable, and Zhou Yu also has a basis, and the results of the analysis from Jingzhou's troops, money and food, and other factors. Zhou Yu concluded that Zhuge Liang was intent on forcing Jiangdong to fight on two fronts, and dispersed Jiangdong's forces, which would be conducive to the breakthrough of Liu's army. In addition, Jiangdong's jīng Ruishui army had almost lost in the Battle of Chibi, and it was normal for Zhuge Liang to have such intentions.

After careful consideration, Sun Ce thought that what Zhou Yu said was very reasonable. If Zhuge Liang didn't adopt the strategy of attacking from both sides, why did he send Zhang Liao to secretly attack Lujiang, and immediately sent a large number of reinforcements after he succeeded. Sun Ce was a little glad that his generals were all a little capable, and they were able to block Zhang Xiu's reinforcements to the death, avoiding Sun Ce from falling into a situation of being caught between two sides.

Sun Ce felt that if Zhuge Liang only had 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, then he still had a chance to win. The most critical point is to let the Jiangdong army on the other side hold on to the death, and not let the reinforcements led by Zhang Xiu rush to Lujiang.

Thinking that Zhuge Liang only had such a few soldiers and horses, Sun Ce was in a good mood, and he was not afraid that Zhuge Liang would do anything to Jiangdong now. Sun Ce thought that Lujiang would definitely be recaptured, except for Tai Shici, didn't he have the help of Cao Jun? When the time came, Lujiang was recaptured, and then turned the gun to aim at Zhang Xiu's reinforcements, breaking Zhuge Liang's illusion of being flanked on both sides.

This conclusion was affirmed by most of Sun Ce's subordinates, and even Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin felt that his younger brother did not have so many troops, which was absolutely bluffing.

Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and others decided to fight Zhuge Liang in the territory of Chaisang, using the absolute advantage of being familiar with the terrain on their side, constantly weakening Zhuge Liang, and finally breaking it.

As long as this battle is won, Jiangdong can gain stability for several years, and it will not be so easy for the Shenwu Imperial Court to gather forces to deal with Jiangdong again.

Sun Ce and others in Jiangdong may have forgotten that there is a strategy called virtual and real, real and virtual. Zhuge Liang didn't follow the routine at all.

Zhuge Liang did not choose to exaggerate his strength, but told his truth and truth openly. This was deliberately done by Zhuge Liang. He can be regarded as having figured out Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's thoughts, and before His Majesty chose to exaggerate the troops, then Sun Ce and Zhou Yu must also feel that Zhuge Liang is exaggerating the strength of the troops, and they will despise Zhuge Liang. Despise the enemy, then the chances of defeat are greater. Why did Zhuge Liang let Zhang Liao raid Lujiang? Because Lujiang is one of the granaries of Jiangdong, taking this place is a big blow to Sun Ce, which can attract a lot of Sun Ce's attention. At the same time, there was also the intention to disperse Sun Ce's forces. Of course, making Zhou Yu and Sun Ce think that Liu Jun's strategy of choosing a two-sided attack is also what Zhuge Liang wants most. Between the virtual and the real, constantly switching, Zhuge Liang played very slippery.

Sun Ce didn't trust Zhuge Liang's troops, thinking that Zhuge Liang was exaggerating his strength, and Zhuge Liang believed that when his army landed and fought with the Jiangdong Army, it would be up to Sun Ce to maintain his composure.

Jingzhou leads to Jiangdong and goes down the river, and Zhuge Liang's army took half a day to appear in the sight of the Jiangdong team.

can have such a fast speed, it is because there are not many sailors in Jiangdong to block Liu Jun. The remaining little water army, Sun Ce kept it was of great use, and now he sent it out to block Zhuge Liang, which was to send military merits to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang, who was not blocked, naturally quickly arrived at the Yangtze River in Chaisang County.

When 100,000 army divisions appeared, huge and dense warships appeared. The faces of everyone in the Jiangdong Army have become unsightly. Sun Ce had already prepared the corresponding defensive troops against Zhuge Liang's attack before, and there were several lines of defense, layered on top of each other, echoing each other.

Such an arrangement is the premise that I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to have so many troops.

Zhuge Liang looked at the riverside not far away, and found that Jiangdong's defense was unknown, and suddenly let out a slight sneer.

"Sun Ce, Sun Ce, you still underestimate me!" Zhuge Liang seemed to be laughing at Sun Ce's arrogance.

Zhuge Liang turned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said: "The two generals Guan Zhang, this army division will appoint you as the vanguard general now, and after landing on the shore, each of them will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they will be horns for each other, and they will go straight to Chaisang City!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately stood up, their favorite thing is to be a pioneer general, this is a recognition of them, and he arched his hand and said: "The last general takes the order!" ”

"Zhang Yun led 20,000 sailors to guard here, and we must ensure the rear road of our army." Zhuge Liang ordered.

For this arrangement, Zhang Yun likes it very much. Zhuge Liang asked him to stay in the rear, so that he was safe, and he had military merits to take, it was so fucking happy, of course Zhang Yun was happy to accept the order.

But Zhuge Liang is clear about Zhang Yun's ability, and he knows Zhang Yun's careful thinking. In addition, for Zhuge Liang this time, the role of the navy is not very large, so Zhuge Liang will let Zhang Yun lead the navy to stay in the rear.

Zhang Yun's offensive strength is not high, but his defense is still a bit level, otherwise he would not have mixed with the high-level of the Jingzhou Navy Army. Zhuge Liang took a fancy to him.

"General Zhang Yun, this army hopes that you can defend the rear to the death, if the Jiangdong army comes to attack, you only need to use the archers to repel it remotely, and you must not act rashly and fall into their calculations. If something beyond the reach of power happens, you can open this bag and act according to the strategy. Zhuge Liang was still a little uneasy about Zhang Yun, and specially instructed Zhang Yun some details, and gave Zhang Yun a tip by the way.

Zhang Yun's old face turned a little red, Zhuge Liang was deeply distrustful of him. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei threw contemptuous glances at Zhang Yun, and they felt ashamed of being comrades-in-arms with Zhang Yun. But Zhang Yun has always believed in safety first, Zhuge Liang's method is definitely very safe, and it doesn't matter if Zhang Yun is all.

Zhang Yun cheekily took Zhuge Liang's bag, and said with a smile: "Thank you, military advisor!" ”

After arranging the safety of Zhang Yun and the rear, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "The rest of the people, follow this army division as the Chinese army, and advance steadily!" Straight to Chaisang! ”

Wen Ping led the remaining generals and said, "I'll obey the order!" ”

After the arrangements were made, Liu Jun's fleet went directly to the shore.

The Jiangdong Army troops guarding the riverside were led by Zhou Tai. He was shocked at first when he saw so many Liu Jun, but then he was angry. Zhou Tai scolded Liu Jun in his heart for being shameless and actually playing tricks to deceive his lord. Zhou Tai's subordinates are part of the navy, but now it seems that if this navy attacks the fleet led by Zhuge Liang, it is something that only a fool will do.

Zhou Tai has never been afraid of death, so he led his troops to prepare to resist Liu's army by the river.

It's a pity that his troops are too small, and Liu Jun used a few rounds of feather arrows before landing on the shore to shatter Zhou Tai's illusions.

It is true that Zhou Tai is not afraid of death, but he will not choose to sacrifice in vain. Unable to resist the landing of Liu Jun, Zhou Tai could only choose to retreat and send the bad news back to Sun Ce in Chaisang City.

As soon as they landed on the shore, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu each took 10,000 soldiers and horses and rushed out. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu haven't shown their skills for a long time, and the bones on their bodies feel like they're going to rust, and this time their fighting spirit is very high.

The two world's top generals are vanguard generals, and Zhuge Liang is really extravagant. The defense line arranged by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu was simply easy for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Once Zhang Fei and Guan Yu encountered the ambush of the Jiangdong army, they were immediately so excited that they didn't want to, and they both took the initiative to look for Jiangdong's troops, in order to greatly vent the fighting spirit in their hearts.

In this way, the unlucky ones were the troops arranged by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were constantly defeated by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Jiangdong's defense line was broken, and the army led by Zhuge Liang continued to approach Chaisang City.

Receiving such bad news, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others were shocked.

Zhou Tai now knelt in front of Sun Ce and told him everything he had seen.

"What do you say? Zhuge Liang brought as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses this time? Sun Ce's hands were about to tremble, Zhuge Liang actually played really.

Zhou Tai swore an oath: "My lord, the last general will use his own head to vouch!" But if there is a half-false sentence, please ask the lord to kill the last general. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Jiangdong heroes in the hall were silent.

Sun Ce didn't expect that Zhuge Liang didn't exaggerate the troops, but actually told all the troops, which was completely incompatible with the 40,000 or 50,000 troops he had estimated before. Sun Ce secretly scolded Zhuge Liang for being too sincere, you yourself have 150,000 soldiers and horses, so you should exaggerate several times as Liu Yu said. That's how you can guess your strength. It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

"Damn. Zhuge Liang is really cunning. Sun Ce knew that his arrangement had failed.

In the case of a great disparity in troops, no amount of arrangement is futile. No matter how fierce the soldiers of Jiangdong are, they can't withstand the attack of so many soldiers and horses.

Zhou Yu secretly hated himself for being incompetent, how could he not have imagined that Zhuge Liang would have so many soldiers and horses. If you had sent scouts earlier to find out the truth, you wouldn't have been so passive.

But according to the current situation in Jiangdong, how many scouts need to be sent to find out. Zhuge Liang had such an intention, and he would not let Jiangdong's scouts come back safely to report.

Just when Sun Ce was remorseful, one bad news after another was conveyed.

"Liu Jun's vanguard generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to break through the defense lines and take the initiative to find a challenge from our army. Our army is constantly retreating, and the vanguard and main force of Liu's army will soon reach Chaisang?! Sun Ce stood up, Zhuge Liang actually had Zhang Fei and Guan Yu as the pioneers, and there were few people in Jiangdong who could stop it.

Zhou Yu was also shocked. Will this Liu Jun's marching speed be too fast?

Completely miscalculated. Zhuge Liang is not a person who plays according to the routine at all.

"Close the four doors tightly, and prepare to defend Chaisang!" Sun Ce gave the order to devour
