Jianghan Plain.

South of Gangneung City, on a vast plain.

It used to be a large area of fertile land, but it has not been planted again this year since last autumn's harvest. After the spring ploughing was over, the population was either robbed, or went to Jiangxia and Fangling.

Attributed to the Sun family, the Guan family.

And a large number of people and horses are active in this land. Sun Quan's camp is in a straight line with Gangneung City, and the army passes by, carrying heavy baggage, grain and grass.

A large area of fertile land, repaired by the soldiers, and crushed by the wheels of men and horses, became a wide road.

The so-called vicissitudes of life take many years.

And it doesn't even take a year to abandon the fertile land.

The yellow cover people and horses are outside with the chariots and horses, all of them form a circle to defend, and the "yellow" character is a flag, flying in the wind, and the hunting sounds.

The crossbowmen looked to the east, holding the crossbows, and the hands of the bows involuntarily sweated.

The cavalry in the east stopped, more than 3,000 horses, plus 12,000 cavalry, like one person, neatly reined in the horses and stopped, one by one the cavalry stared ahead, calm and capable, no one spoke, only some war horses moved their front hooves restlessly, and made a horse neigh.

Under the word "Zhao", Zhao Yun was dressed in armor and placed the spear horizontally in front of him, with the head and tail of the spear hanging in the air.

Zhao Yun pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and his right hand naturally fell down, looking up at the "yellow" flag.

On the battlefield, a falling pin can be heard.

"General. Huang Gai left a way out, not only to guard the grain and grass, but also to eat us. A soldier under Zhao Yun's command said loudly.

A military candidate can see that this is a hidden killing machine, let alone Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said: "Order the soldiers to get off their horses and rest, eat dry food, and feed the war horses forage. ”

The soldier was stunned and blurted out: "General, if the other party sends infantry to kill, we will be caught off guard." Then the army came to his senses and said, "It turns out that the general wants to attract Huang Gai to attack?" ”

After speaking, the soldier turned over and dismounted, and ordered: "Dismount, eat dry food, and feed the horses fodder." The formation is as loose and disorganized as possible. ”

"No."

The soldiers gave orders one after another, and then Zhao Yun's more than 3,000 war horses and one or two thousand cavalry scattered one after another, took out forage and dry food from the horses, and fed them to the war horses.

Then he sat down and began to eat dry food.

Dry food includes jerky, as well as rice crackers.

It's all things that taste bad, are hard, are great for storage, and are very filling for the stomach.

It was Zhao Yun himself who also stuck the spear on the ground, and then took out the flesh and tore it apart and ate it. The whole cavalry was disorganized, like a rabble.

Zhao Yun is luring the enemy.

Only a fool would lead a light cavalry to storm a prepared infantry army of more than 10,000 people.

But if Huang Gai is stupid, he will lead the infantry out.

But Zhao Yun felt that Huang Gai would not be so stupid, if Huang Gai was so stupid, when Sun Jian attacked Luoyang, Huang Gai would have died a long time ago.

The other party is a veteran, a veteran who has fought for the rest of his life.

But it is not ruled out that Huang Gai is old and frail, and makes a stupid judgment, if Huang Gai really rushes out, Zhao Yun will dare to kill him and attack Huang Gai's main formation.

Even if the cavalry loses most of it, it will not hesitate.

Because this batch of grain is important.

As long as this batch of grain is burned and the first battle is victorious, the people of Jiangdong will be unstable.

Of course, this probability is extremely small.

If Huang Gai can't come out, then Zhao Yun won't leave. Zhao Yun had already sent spies to move around, and as long as the other party had reinforcements, he would lead the cavalry to leave, but not completely, but tailgating.

The purpose is still the same, to attack Sun Quan's grain route.

Under the banner of the word "yellow", Huang Gai looked at the motionless Zhao Yun cavalry and frowned.

"Changshan Zhao Yun, a young general under Gongsun Zhan." Of course, Huang Gai knew Zhao Yun's resume. In the past, when he followed Sun Jian to fight in the Central Plains, Zhao Yun was still a young general.

Although Zhao Yun did not have any actual achievements later, Zhao Yunyi had followed Gongsun Zan for a long time and should be very proficient in cavalry.

Second, Liu Bei is a person with special talents, and his vision is extremely accurate.

Since he appointed Zhao Yun as the rider, he naturally should not be underestimated.

"Despise my !!" Huang Gai gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"General. The opponent is in a loose formation, and he can send 2,000 elite soldiers to go out and cut it down. A military officer next to Huang Gai said excitedly.

"Those who dare to speak out will be killed." Huang Gai glanced at the soldier coldly, and when the soldier heard this, he seemed to be a duck with his neck choked, and he was speechless.

Time passed quietly.

It was getting dark, as the sun was setting. Zhao Yun's cavalry turned over and retreated like a tide.

The movements were extremely swift, with only the sound of horses and no voices.

Huang Gai's eyes froze, and he sighed: "It is worthy of being a young general next to Gongsun Zhan, who has raised a good cavalry." It's a pity that there are no horses in Jiangdong, otherwise (Han Dang) Yigong can also bring out a good cavalry. ”

Han Dang is a native of Liaoxi, good at horsemanship, excellent strength, and quite good at cavalry.

But there are no horses in the south.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Huang Gai had long heard that Zhao Yun's cavalry had attacked Cao Cao's grain route, which made Cao Cao anxious, but this was the first time he had seen Zhao Yun's cavalry, and he was really envious and jealous.

However, fortunately, Zhao Yun's cavalry only had about 2,000 people, and if Zhao Yun was given 10,000 cavalry, Huang Gai would not dare to escort food with 10,000 elite soldiers.

Twenty thousand, thirty thousand.

Jiangdong doesn't want to occupy Nanjun, so let's guard the Yangtze River.

Luckily.

Huang Gai was a little lucky.

Soon after Zhao Yun's cavalry retreated, a large army appeared in the south. The banners are "Jiang" and "Zhou", and there are 120,000 people.

The generals who led the troops were Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai is in front, and Jiang Qin is in the back. Zhou Tai led a small number of cavalry and came to the front of Huang Gai's round formation, and Huang Gai also came out of the circle to wait.

"General Huang, the lord heard the news and ordered me to help the general." Zhou Tai's physique is extremely majestic, with a leopard's head and eyes, his face is full of stubble, and his voice is very thick.

Then Zhou Tai looked around and said, "Zhao Yun has retreated?" ”

"The general is hard." Huang Gai nodded to Zhou Tai, and then said, "Zhao Yun retreated, it can be seen that he did not want to fight us, but to attack the grain route. The cavalry he led was like the wind, and it should not be underestimated. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Tai nodded in response, his face serious. Immediately, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, and Jiang Qinsan will start to build the camp and clamp the construction, because it is already extremely late.

to the evening. Zhao Yun used the same method of dealing with Cao Cao to deal with Zhou Tai, and he was even more unscrupulous. Because Cao Cao finally had cavalry, but Jiangdong did not.

How can Zhao Yun always lead the cavalry to leave, and the people in Jiangdong can't catch up with the horses.

In terms of the navy, the Guan family has a disadvantage, but in the cavalry, the Guan family has an absolute advantage. The idea is still the same, attacking the grain routes of the Jiangdong people from all sides.

But the Jiangdong people are not Cao Cao.

The Jiangdong Army was very suitable for the weather in the south, and the Jiangdong Army did not adapt to the water and soil in Jingzhou, which led to the rampant epidemic.

The second is that the people of Jingzhou are very opposed to Cao Cao, but they are not so resistant to the Jiangdong people.

In addition, Jiangdong's troops also have an advantage, and the troops in Jiangxia, Youjiangkou, Jiangling and other places are as many as 130,000.

The Guan family is short of troops.

The most important thing is that the Jiangdong people are different from Cao Cao's side, and many things will change subtly.

In the afternoon, Gangneung City.

The city is still the same city, the empty shell left by Xiahou Yuan. The city was full of guarded soldiers, and the soldiers were in bright armor and in good spirits.

The handsome flag of "Wu" was hung on the four city walls, silently announcing that the owner of Jiangling City was Wu Hou Sun Quan.

The ruins of the city have been cleared and the land has been leveled. At present, there are 20,000 defenders in the city, which is divided into five districts.

Near the four walls of the city is a district, and in the middle of the city is an area.

Zhou Yu is the governor of the capital, commanding all the armies, and also has the men and horses of the main camp. Zhou Yu's base camp has more than 4,000 people. He commanded more than 4,000 people as the Chinese army.

The flagpole in the barracks is hung with the word "Zhou" flag.

In the tent of the Chinese military marshal, Zhou Yu is holding a bamboo slip to watch, there is a plate of preserved fruits on the table, Zhou Yu has a preserved fruit in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, and he can't take his eyes off it.

"Report to the Governor. General Huang Gai sent someone to say that Zhao Yun's cavalry had been found, and General Huang had sent someone to ask Wu Hou for help. Zhou Yu's battalion Sima walked in from outside and reported.

"It's expected, don't panic." Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, showed a light smile, put down the bamboo slip, pinched a piece of preserved fruit and ate it, clapped his hands, stood up and said: "Before Zhao Yun attacked the grain road, Jiangling City had already hoarded enough grain, enough for 20,000 soldiers, and it would take one or two years to eat. The grain piled up at the mouth of the oil river is as abundant as the sea. In a short period of time, we will not be short of food. The problem in a short period of time is how to encroach on Nanjun. ”

"The Governor already has a plan?" Ying Sima said with joy. As the second position under Zhou Yu, he knows that his own governor is extremely intelligent.

"I have written to Wu Hou and asked Wu Hou to ask Liu Zhang for help. Guan Ping was in Hanzhong and repeatedly fought with Liu Zhang, and for Liu Zhang, Guan Ping was a thorn. If Guan Ping is allowed to gain Nanjun, Guan Ping can advance west down the river and attack Bazhong. The situation was even more unfavorable for Liu Zhang. As long as he sends someone to say that he is powerful, Liu Zhang is very likely to attack Zigui with a general. It can force Ma Liang, who is famous, to retreat and go to Zigui to rescue, so that the threat to our rear will be reduced. The lord can then send men and horses to invade the cities of Nanjun and send a small number of men and horses to guard them. The most important. ”

Zhou Yu was in high spirits and spread out the map from the desk with a smile. Ying Sima didn't need to say hello, so he immediately respectfully came to the desk and knelt down.

Zhou Yu pointed to Chengyang City and said: "Zhuge Liang led four thousand elite soldiers to be stationed in Chengyang City, and many of the grain that went south from Xiangyang were hoarded in Chengyang. This is the grain transit of the Guan family. If we capture Chengyang, we will capture the Jiangxia part to the east of Nanjun. The food route of the Guan family was cut off. Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liaohua's naval army needed to retreat to the Anlu area. We have an army of more than 100,000 troops, divided our troops to guard the counties, run many cities in Nanjun and Jiangxia, and persuade farmers to cultivate and live and work in peace and contentment. He was not afraid of Zhao Yun's small one or two thousand cavalry attacking and disturbing. If he comes to disturb him, they will surround him and leave him behind. As long as we have a foothold in Jiangbei, we can encroach on Zigui, connect with Bashu, and then conspire with Liu Zhang to attack Xiangyang, Fangling, Hanzhong, and all of Jingzhou. ”

Ying Sima sketched the scene in his heart, his heart was pounding, and he blurted out: "The capital governor is high." ”
