this year.

In the spring and March of the first year of Han Jingsui (220).

When Huang Quan, the governor of Jingzhou, learned that the people of Jiaozhou had invaded the southern border of Guiyang, he immediately set off from Jiangling and rushed to Dongting Lake by boat.

Passing through Luo County, more than 100 miles along the way.

After three days of hard work, Huang Quan and his entourage arrived in Linxiang, the former county town of Changsha.

Since Luoxian, Yiyang and other important western towns were captured by the Jingzhou army, and there was no buffer around Linxiang, although Guan Ping did not force Sun Wu to cede this city.

But Linxiang, which had lost its strategic significance, Sun Quan did not hesitate to give up, shrinking the defensive line to the east of Changsha with its back to Xiangshui, and resisting the Jingzhou army with Ancheng and Youxian as the main forces, so as to avoid it from entering the hinterland of Jiangdong.

Linxiang City.

Inside the county hall.

At this moment, due to the urgency of the military situation, as soon as Huang Quan arrived, he summoned the generals in the army to discuss the military aircraft.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the battle reports of the current front-line outposts, now the Jiaozhou Shijia has gathered more than 20,000 troops to garrison the Cangwu front, and the army is already ready to go, and will launch a surprise attack on Qujiang, an important town in Guiyang, at any time."

"At present, our army has just ceased to recuperate and enter the stage of recuperation, I wonder if you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

A seat fell.

The generals muttered a deep sigh, and the deputy governor Chen Shi stood up and said loudly: "General, the art of war says: soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, since the enemy army does not plan to let our army rest in peace, then let's fight!" ”

"Let the Jiangdong rats take a look, even if my Han division fights for months, he is still not afraid of the rats."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi and other generals from the side couldn't help but echo them.

"General Huang, give the order."

"I'm not afraid of a fight!"

Hearing the generals with a high sense of war on their faces, Huang Quan was overjoyed, but his face was still a little dignified, he squinted at Fu Wei on the side, and said contemplatively: "Fu Dudu, what do you think is the strategy of the generals who are determined to fight?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Wei couldn't help but look solemn, groaned secretly, and said calmly: "General, the last general thinks it's okay to fight!" ”

"But our army should still avoid the extension of the war, and it is naturally happy to be able to resolve the battle."

When the words fell here, he couldn't help muttering: "It is not difficult to see this time that this move must be Sun Quan's tens of thousands of main forces attacking the west to take Jingzhou but returning defeated, he must not be able to swallow this breath." ”

"That's why we will use the Jiaozhou scholars to invade Jingzhou to prevent our army from resting and digesting the fruits of victory."

"Otherwise, Shi Xie sits on the land of a state and divides one side, how can he rashly make enemies against our army?"

"Hostile to my Han Dynasty, this move is not beneficial to him, in general, once our army is dragged into the quagmire of war, it is Jiangdong that will benefit, after all, Sun Quan can not only lead the people to make a comeback again, and then fight for Jingzhou."

"Not only that, once our army is dragged down, the Cao thief is bound to take advantage of the fire to rob and send the army south to avenge the shame of Xiangfan!"

Speaking of this, Fu Wei's face was indifferent, he looked around, looked at the generals with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, Wei thinks that it is better to focus on peace as much as possible, first Chen Bing's border defense, to see if he can find an opportunity to contact Shixie, and persuade him to retreat with interests. ”

"At present, our army should focus on a truce to support the people, and it is not appropriate to have another incident!"

A seat fell.

Huang Quan couldn't help but glance at him, his heart was full of joy, and he groaned secretly: "It seems that Fu Wei has the talent of a general, I can't despise him!" ”

After pondering for a while, he faced the generals and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, what do you think of Fu Dudu's strategy?" ”

When the words fell, Chen Shi pondered for a while before he arched his hand and said: "General Fu's words, Shi feels that his words are reasonable, maybe you can give it a try!" ”

"After all, Shi Xie was able to support the army, entrenched in the seven counties of Jiaozhou for more than ten years, and he was not incompetent, although he led the crowd to attach himself to Sun Quan, it must have been just a matter of the situation."

"He shouldn't have much belonging to the Sun family in his heart, and he can't talk about having a deep hatred with our army, so he doesn't expect to fight to the death with me and break the net."

"Send an envoy to negotiate peace, maybe you can try!"

"It's just ........."

Halfway through speaking, Chen Shi suddenly changed his words, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said loudly: "But Shi thinks that our army should still send troops to fight, and we must hurt the enemy army." ”

"Although Shi Xie's troops may have been instructed by Jiang Dong, it is speculated that Shi Xie must also have the heart of Jingzhou, if there is an opportunity to attack Jingzhou Prefecture, he will definitely seize it without hesitation!"

"Therefore, if our army wants to let the people of Jiaozhou know that it is difficult to retreat, we must first fight a battle, and tell him with bloody blood that our army is not so easy to attack!"

The voice settled slowly.

"General Chen is right!"

"What the general said is good, and I will second."

For a while, as Chen Shi supplemented on the basis of Fu Wei, the generals in the palace pondered for a while, and they also gave up their hands to second it.

Even, even Fu Wei, who proposed peace first, nodded secretly.

Chen Shi is indeed more far-reaching than he thought!

At least, he didn't expect that Shi Xie had the heart of Jingzhou.

"That being the case, the general ordered Fu Wei to stay as the main general to garrison Lukou and Baqiu, on the one hand, to prevent the Wu army located in the lower reaches, and on the other hand, to recruit the people in the territory to enlist in the army, and continue to train the naval army."

"Fu Wei, do you have any objections?"

Suddenly, seeing that all the generals had reached a consensus, Huang Quan's face suddenly became serious, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"The last general commands!"

After the words fell, Huang Quan continued to order: "According to the intelligence of the front-line sentinels, Shixie gathered more than 20,000 people in Jiaozhou to attack in a big way, and most of them were led by Shixie's son Shihui to arrive at Qujiang Pass, looking down on our army's Guancheng. ”

"The other is led by Shixie's younger brother Shiwu, and Wu will Lu Loan to join the army, and the troops will be sent to Yulin County east of Zhou, looking at this situation, there is also a plan to take the opportunity to invade our Lingling territory."

"Therefore, this general ordered Chen Shi to send 5,000 sailors and 3,000 foot soldiers to advance along the water and land to resist the enemy."

"As for the general, he personally led the main force straight south to Qujiang in Guiyang to fight against the enemy."

"Do you have any comments?"

"We will obey the general's orders."

A seat fell.

The generals all bowed their promises.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Huang Quan waved his hand and motioned for the generals to go down and prepare, and two days later, he waved his army south.

With Liu Bei's division of Jingzhou into two, after the establishment of the two states, due to the dense vertical and horizontal water systems such as the Yangtze River and Xiangshui in Jingzhou, it was necessary to face the elite Wu army sailors.

On the other hand, Guan Yu's subordinate of the governor of Xiangzhou did not need too many sailors against Cao's army, so after pondering for a while, he also divided 3,000 of the 10,000 sailors under his command under Huang Quan's command.

It is exactly like this, plus the 5,000 sailors in Shuzhong who came to help, a total of more than 8,000 people.

With the plan decided!

In the next two days, all the departments in Jingzhou were ready to go, and all the departments were also gearing up, fighting high, and they were not afraid of the incoming Jiaozhou army.

Two days of hard work, slowly passed.

On this day, Fu Wei first led the people to garrison Lukou, went to construct a defensive line, set up an eyeline, and guarded against the downstream Wu army.

Immediately after, Chen Shi also led 5,000 sailors and 3,000 foot soldiers to the west of Lingling, and went south by boat along the Zishui, and went straight to kill Xiang Shiwu and Lu Loan.

At this time, Huang Quan also led more than 10,000 land and water troops, and went straight along the Xiangshui River across Changsha to Guiyang, and killed Benqujiang Pass.

At this moment, the war that had gradually subsided with the battle for Jingzhou suddenly burned again!
