Zhang Liao's camp, after the meeting, Zhang Hu and Le were summoned to the barracks by Zhang Liao.

In the barracks, Zhang Liao's own soldiers were already packing up the bed, and the entire camp was packing up.

In the room, Zhang Liao asked: "Today, do you two have any ideas?" ”

Zhang Hu and Le glanced at each other, and Zhang Hu first said: "Father strives to be perfect and live up to the trust of the imperial court." ”

Le Ze was worried: "I am afraid that the sin will be on the king." ”

didn't want to defend the camp, and sent Wang Ling to strengthen the east of the camp, making it clear that it was a toss.

Zhang Liao snorted: "If you don't give him something to do, he will toss something else." I am responsible for the stability of the southeast of the country, how can I let him do it? ”

Seeing the serious expressions of the two, Zhang Liao said again: "Next year, our army can gather more than 200,000 troops to hold on to the Han army, and in the year after tomorrow, our army can have nearly 300,000 strongholds." Guan Yunchang is like a god with soldiers, and Tian Xiaoxian is as fierce as an overlord, and it is difficult to reach 30,000 iron horsemen! ”

"Today is not the time for our army to fight, just ensure that Jiangdong does not die."

"I expect that the army of Han Dang and Pan Zhang will be defeated, only in this way can Sun Quanzhi's qi not be relaxed, so he can lean over and obey orders, and dare not make a mistake in the southeast. When the national strength is restored, the imperial court will also have the opportunity to swallow Wu in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Liao squinted as he spoke: "In the twenty years since Jian'an, the generals of the DPRK and China have withered. Most of the new generals were born in hairpin families, greedy for their own merits, and did not care for the lives of their officials, and I was deeply worried about them. Therefore, tonight, the two of you will be the first to set up camp and be the vanguard of the left and right. I led the army to follow it, so that Wang Ling supervised the rear army. ”

Zhang Hu and Le Qi bowed their hands together: "The last general will take the order." ”

On the other side, Wang Ling returned to his barracks, drew his sword and smashed the lacquered cup on the table on the spot, gritting his teeth: "The old puppet is too deceitful!" ”

was put on a table, and his face was lost, what kind of face did he have to guard the armies?

The nature of the work of the guards, the supervisors, and the wardens are all the same, mainly to mediate disputes between military officials, and secondly, to master the allocation of military funds.

The protector may not fight, but you must have face, and you can mediate disputes only if you have face, and your military officials and colleagues will give you face.

If you have enough prestige, connections, and meritorious deeds, you have no problem being the main general, you can't fight, but you still have the appointed staff to join the army, and the staff you have recruited and collected are responsible, and it is not difficult to maintain the operation of an army.

Tossing Wang Ling and damaging Wang Ling's face, temporarily humiliating is a small matter, and it will affect the long-term future.

Wang Ling was sulking, and the scribe sent by Zhang Liao came to give an order: "Wang envoy, Zhu Ran, the governor of the front of the Wu army, commanded 50,000 troops to land on the north bank. The prince was worried that Jiangdong had the intention of forcing our army to attack the enemy, so he asked the king to envoy Jun Xiaoyu's troops to be sure to march with one rank when withdrawing. ”

Jiang Qin's naval division escorted, and Zhu Ran once again commanded the army of Quan Cong, Hu Zong, Wu Qi, and Zhou Yin's army of more than 40,000 people to cross the Yangtze River north, and Jiang Qin entered the Jiangzhu Water Village based on the original Zhao Lei.

The troops crossing the river under the supervision of Zhu Ran landed 20 miles downstream of Hankou and made contact with Han Dang and Pan Zhang on the north bank, and the Wu army had more than 50,000 land soldiers, and Zhang Liao in the rear agreed to send troops, and Xu Sheng also joined Sun Lin and Sun Qian to approach Hankou.

By the end of the day, more than 80,000 Wu troops were gathered south of Hankou, nearly 10,000 Lu Zhao and Feng Kai, and 20,000 people in Zhang Liao's camp could be drawn at any time.

In the local battlefield, there were 110,000 Wei-Wu allied troops, 2,000 troops of Tianxin in Hankou, 14,000 Li Yan infantry, and 3,000 newly supported cavalry; More than 20,000 people of Guan Yu's navy hovered in the upper reaches of Hankou.

That night, the two armies lit more grass, and the fire shone brightly, and the decisive battle could break out at any time.

Sun Quan came to the mountain camp, and gathered more than 100,000 troops on the front line for a decisive battle, if he was victorious, the prestige of Zhu Ran and other generals would be greatly enhanced.

Sun Quan paced back and forth and hesitated, but unfortunately Zhou Tai was killed, and now he can no longer divide Zhu Ran's power and promote another person to be the governor.

Zhuge Jin stood aside with his hands down, he didn't have any ideas, Sun Quan's will was his will.

With more than 100,000 troops of Zhu Ran and Zhang Liao, it is almost inevitable to attack the Hankou camp.

Lock up Hankou, how many of the 60,000 Han troops on the south bank of Liu Feng, Huang Quan, and Tian Yu can escape?

The gains and exploits on the front line are too big, big enough to subvert Sun's status.

I dare not imagine that if Zhu Ran defeated the Hankou camp, annihilated the main force of the Han army, and then united the armies of He Qi and Zhu Huan on the south bank, with 200,000 troops, he could take Jingzhou and retreat...... Then there is no way back for yourself.

Some regrets, Zhu Ran should continue to lead the team to attack Xiakou and annihilate the Han army on the south bank.

In this way, he can quickly arrive in Wuchang from the direction of Fankou to participate in the battle, and firmly hold the glory and fruits of victory in his hands.

There was a faint feeling of suffocation, as if many gentle down blocked the nostrils, making Sun Quan's breathing difficult.

But if you go to the front by yourself, if the army is defeated, the result will be even worse.

However, the probability of victory is more likely, you must raise, you can't be so unlucky!

Liu Bei is seriously ill, the Han soldiers are panicking, Guan Yu's command ability must be disturbed, and Tian Xin was shot by a bed crossbow, I'm afraid he won't have a few days to live!

Thinking about this, Sun Quan's breathing was immediately free, and the fresh air made him emotional: "Ziyu, I want to move forward and inspire the soldiers to fight!" ”

"Yes, I understand."

In the night, Sun Quan's seven-fold dragon boat was only escorted by a few dozen three-tooth warships, and the rest were mostly boats and ships.

On the south bank, the Han army and the Wu army still lit the grass to light the warning light, but the Han army had begun to mobilize, people came and went to carry supplies, and the Wu army detachments harassed and were mostly repelled by bows and crossbows.

In the Huangquan camp, a lot of grain, armor, fighting gear, bows, crossbows and arrows have been moved and stored in a centralized manner.

After Shamoke led the leaders and chieftains of the big and small Wuxi barbarians to bow down to Huang Quan, everyone withdrew towards Xiakou with only their swords.

The troops of Shamoke's department went first, followed by the Nanyang Wenpin Department and the Nanyang Tianyu Department, all of which abandoned armor, bows, crossbows, and arrows, and only took self-defense weapons and retreated quickly in an ultra-light attitude.

The military officials supervised back and forth, and the unruly officers who disturbed the formation were beheaded on the spot and displayed to the public.

All the donkeys and horses in the army were left for Huang Quan to serve as military rations, including Wen Ping and Tian Yu, who all bit a piece of wood in their mouths and marched silently.

Upstream of the Xiakou camp, there were many boats, bamboo rafts, and reed rafts waiting on the shore, and the soldiers who retreated here one after another took rafts to paddle and evacuate to the north shore of the upstream with the small boats guided by the traction.

Liu Feng stood in front of the evacuated troops, slammed his fist on the fence of Yuanmen, and his big round eyes were full of resentment.

In the river water, Guan Yu closed his eyes in the cabin to recuperate, Yang Yi came with light steps and whispered: "General, there are a thousand oil rafts in place." There were already 8,000 oil rafts in front of and behind, and if the thieves detected an attack, they should be able to block them. ”

No one knew how bad things would happen in the rear, and the withdrawal of troops as much as possible became the most important thing.

Otherwise, the deeper the army goes, the deeper the entanglement will be, and the disaster in the rear will break out, and the front-line army will be finished.

This army is here, and any problem can be solved calmly.

If the army suffers heavy losses, many small problems will develop into big problems.

As the sky gradually brightened, Huang Quan's accumulated grass was consumed, so he set fire to the outer camps and empty camps, and gathered more than 7,000 people to guard the camp.

The fireworks were filled, and Wu Jun found that if he wanted to pursue, he could only wait for the flames to go out.

He Qi walked to observe Huang Quan's camp and said to the left and right: "This dead soldier is also not to be attacked." ”

Bu Qi also observed in another direction, and said to Sun Shao and Sun Huan: "Liu Bei must be ill, otherwise the withdrawal of the Han soldiers will not be so decisive." Our army encircles Huang Quan, which is not beneficial to the overall situation. I intend to let Huang Quan's headquarters evacuate, so that I can gather a large army to fight for Xiakou. ”

Sun Shao hesitated: "Indulging the generals of the enemy country hinders military law." ”

"Let's give it a try."

Bu Qi squinted as he spoke: "I thought Huang Quan would refuse to retreat, he was here to be loyal to Liu Bei." If this is the case, our army should give up Huang Quan and go straight to Xiakou! ”
