"That's right. We have too few troops. Not to mention anything else, if the strength of our naval army is doubled. We will be able to cut off the connection between the mouth of the oil river and Gangneung. We can go west to break through the area around the mouth of the oil river and go west to eat Yan Yan first. Then join forces with Guan Yangwu to attack Sun Quan from the west, and Sun Quan will definitely not be able to stay. ”

The red-faced Huang Zhong touched his beard and agreed.

Ding Feng didn't say much, and he didn't have an opinion. It was Liao Hua, who raised his fat hand and asked, "With such an increase in troops, is the population of Jiangxia enough?" You must know that there is no spring ploughing in most of the entire Jingzhou now, and next year's grain needs to be supplied by Jiangxia, Fangling, and Hanzhong. If the increase in troops leads to problems in agriculture, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Wang Wei glanced at Liao Hua with a smile and said, "Don't worry." After the previous looting, the population of Jiangxia has long exceeded 300,000, maybe 400,000. Let's go. Retreat and go back to Jiangxia and increase troops. ”

"No."

With Wang Wei's order, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others agreed to the promise, and then the sailors began to bring food, baggage, leave an empty water village, and drive the warship back to Dongfang Anlu.

The Yangtze River is wide and choppy.

Whether it was a tactical retreat or a strategic retreat, the Guan family's forces began to shrink in an all-round way, waiting for the opportunity.

..........

Xiangyang.

In the city of Xiangyang, five or six thousand men led by Zhou Cang guarded the town, and outside the city there were 40,000 people led by Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan.

These 40,000 people are actually fully trained, and they can be compared to ordinary soldiers, but they are not elite. Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan are the first to lead this batch of soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Zhang Laosan said that it would take three months to run in, but if the war situation was urgent, it could be mobilized to deal with it.

As for the city.

The city was burned into a blank land, but after the governance of Yin Guan, many buildings and houses have been built in the city, according to Guan Ping's instructions, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion is the first to be repaired, big and magnificent.

is grand enough, comparable to Guan Yu's identity.

At that time, Guan Ping knew that when Yan Yan killed Yizhou, he released a message to Li Zheng and Xiangyang, these two groups of people are going the same way.

At the time of Li Zheng's action, the news also arrived in Xiangyang.

State Pastoral House, Front Yard. Guan Yu sat on the stool and looked at the front expressionlessly, touching his beautiful beard from time to time, Guan Xing in front of him was holding a big knife that was taller than others, and was practicing martial arts.

Guan Xing bared his teeth and grinned, but he couldn't dance.

Guan Yu looked at it and shook his head, although they are both sons, they are excellent and stupid. Let's not talk about cleverness, in terms of learning martial arts, Guan Xing does not have Guan Ping's qualifications.

Guan Xing is like buying one get one free.

Guan Xing soon couldn't hold it anymore, panting with a knife. turned his head and peeked at Guan Yu, very weak-hearted. This knife is so heavy, it really can't move.

Guan Yu was about to reprimand, but he saw Zhou Cang walking in from outside, taking a bamboo tube in his hand, looking a little hurried. Guan Yu swallowed the words of reprimand, looked up at Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang handed the bamboo tube to Guan Yu, Guan Yu took out the silk cloth from it, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Sun Quan, you really dare to raise troops." Ordered Wei Wenchang to lead his troops to defend the city. Point troops, I personally led Yide and Xingba to the south. ”

"No." Zhou Cang promised and immediately went down to give the order. Guan Yu glanced at Guan Xing and scolded: "Go down, eat more, exercise more, and read less." ”

Eat more and exercise more to grow meat, and reading will only grow fat.

Guan Yu felt that Guan Xing's current brain was enough and he lacked muscles.

"No." Guan Xing only promised on his face, but he cheered in his heart, and finally he didn't have to practice. Then Guan Yu planned to put on armor, but after thinking about it, he first sent someone to notify Yin Guan to come and see him.

When Yin Guan heard the news and came to see Guan Yu, Guan Yu had already finished his armor and was about to go out with a big knife.

"Sir, I will lead a large army south and fight with Sun Quan for Nanjun. You led Wei Yan to garrison Xiangyang and sit in the rear. ”

Guan Yu was very good to Yin Guan, and said with a pleasant face.

As he spoke, Guan Yu handed the silk cloth sent by Guan Ping to Yin Guan. After Yin Guan stretched out his hand to take it up and down, he frowned and nodded: "Sun Quan is like this, and it is also appropriate for the lord to go south to compete with him." But there are some things that need to be consulted by the lord first. ”

"Say." Guan Yu said.

"Now Ma Liang saw Shamoke in Wuxi, and there was no movement. I guess Ma Liang is planning to wait for the autumn harvest to see if the Shanyue people in Jiangdong will rebel against Sun Quan. When the time comes, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Now is not the time for a decisive battle, at least October, November, December. At this time, troops can be dispatched and recruited. And the lord also holds on to each other, don't fight hard with each other. ”

Yin Guan said calmly.

"Sir continues." Guan Yu was much more serious.

"Spring ploughing in most areas of Jingzhou has not been completed this year, although the people still have rations, but when the people's rations are exhausted, we must send grain to maintain the people's rations. It is equivalent to the people doing nothing and consuming food. The lord can recruit troops from the hundreds of thousands of people in Gangneung, as well as the surrounding people. He also ordered Jiang Wan of Jiangxia to be the captain, and ordered Jiang Wan, Chen Lan, and Lei Xu to increase their troops in Jiangxia. At present, Cao Cao has returned to the north and is safe for the time being. The lord might as well send someone to invite General Chen to general, and ask General Chen to divide 5,000 troops to pass through Suizhou and Zaoyang to Anlu. If Shanyue breaks out and Wuxi moves, Wang Wei and others can press in and cross the river to attack Exian. At that time, Sun Quan will lose ground and will inevitably retreat. ”

Yin Guan said in one breath.

But it is a riot, not Zhuge Liang's simple thoughts, or the thoughts of many people in Jingzhou. Now it is like this, all because the Guan family's troops are really small.

There is no way, the population was small before.

Now that the population is large, it is natural to be a violent soldier, a violent soldier.

"Yes, Mr. Yi." Guan Yu also felt that it made sense when he heard this, so he nodded and said.

"No." Yin Guan agreed, and immediately went down to write an order, let Guan Yu seal it, and then sent it to Xinye and Jiangxia respectively.

Then Guan Yu finished ordering his troops, led Zhou Cang and more than 5,500 capable soldiers to join Zhang Fei and Gan Ning outside the city, and Wei Yan was transferred back to Xiangyang Town to guard the city.

The army goes first, it doesn't matter if there is not much grain and grass, rush to Dangyang first. As for the follow-up grain, it is natural that Yin Guan organized the transfer of people's husbands.

Anyway, Yin Guan himself said that most of the people have nothing to do, so they will help transport grain.

As the saying goes, it's not a family, and you don't enter a family. Although Guan Yu often reprimands his son and is a standard strict father, his behavior is the same as Guan Ping's.

After Guan Yu arrived in Dangyang lightly, Han Dang had already stationed a large battalion in the northeast of Jiangling. Guan Yu ordered Zhang Fei to lead more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his command to confront Han Dang's army.

A confrontation is not going to war.

Zhang Fei's department is still far from the elite, and he is not an opponent. Zhang Laosan heard the order, but just bared his teeth. But he didn't dare to disobey the order, but he couldn't shrink back.

Guan Yu led Gan Ning to attack Jiangling City, and after arriving at Jiangling City, Guan Yu asked Gan Ning to repair the camp, and he led Zhou Cang, moved out of the iron armor, and came to the city to challenge.

Among the armies of the Guan family, Guan Yu's department is the most elite, and the current establishment is also the most complete, and the armor rate is also extremely high, with more than 2,000 ironclad soldiers.

Guan Yu lined up the ironclad soldiers in front, ordered the ordinary soldiers to follow, Guan Yu held a big knife, wearing a green robe and a horizontal knife, and ordered Zhou Cang to say: "Go to the city to challenge." ”

"No." Zhou Cang made a promise, selected ten soldiers with loud voices, and went straight to the city. Called out and said: "Listen to the people in the city, I, General Zuo, Jingzhou Mu, and Hanshou Marquis Guan Gong personally came to challenge with 5,000 elite soldiers." No matter how many troops you wait, you will never avoid war. ”

Look at what he said, it was as if he was invincible with 5,000 elite soldiers. But in fact, Zhou Cang is not stupid, nor is he pretending to be forced, but because Zhou Cang knows that there are only about 20,000 troops in Jiangling City.

Even if you go to war, you have to leave 5,000 people to defend the city, right?

If the other party only has 15,000 people, Zhou Cang, Guan Yu is really confident to break it. You need to know that there are not many soldiers, but fine.

Guan Yu's department of five or six thousand people, even if he fights hard with Cao Jun, Xu Huang, Zhang He and other generals, it is not worthwhile, it is a rare elite in the world.

And the 15,000 people in Jiangdong must also have elites and mediocrities.

The other side rushed up, fifteen thousand against five or six thousand.

Guan Yu has a good chance of winning.

There are many flags standing on the Gangneung Castle, among which the most eye-catching is of course the "Wu" character handsome flag, which is hung in the highest position, the most prominent, and the most magnificent.

The city was full of defensive equipment, and the soldiers, armed with bows or guns, were eyeing the Zhou Cang under the city.

At this distance, it is already possible to release arrows.

But the people of Koto are not so narrow-minded.

But Zhou Cang's words were always full of provocation, and the people in the city were extremely unconvinced.

There are many Jiangdong generals standing on the city, including Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu. The veteran Cheng Pu clenched his fists and sneered: "Although Guan Yu is strong, I, Cheng Pu, am not a vegetarian. Governor, please give me all the general's ironclad soldiers, gather 4,000 fine armor, and I will go out of the city to fight him. ”

"The old general is wise and brave, enough to defeat Guan Yu." Zhou Yu admired, but shook his head in his heart, thinking that Cheng Pu would not be Guan Yu's opponent.

Immediately, Zhou Yu changed his words and said: "But even if you defeat Guan Yu, you will only lose both." There are 10,000 people in Ganning in the rear, and they will not sit idly by and watch Guan Yu fall. And we sit in the city of Gangneung, we can wait for work, why go out of the city to fight him? ”

The plan was formulated by Zhou Yu, except that Zhuge Liang became a nail in Chengyang County, and the situation was very good for Jiangdong.

And Zhou Yu was also worried that the rear mountain would be unstable, and he didn't want to fight hard with the Guan family. If you can keep it like this, you can stand firm and gain a firm foothold in Nanjun and Jiangxia.

It's a good situation.

After two or three years of recuperation, you can make other moves, at least kill Guan Ping of Zigui first, and then attack Fangling.

Capturing Fangling, you can separate Hanzhong and Xiangyang of the Guan family in half, and you can break them one by one.

All in all, Zhou Yu didn't want to fight Guan Yu.

"Hang the battle card, unless Guan Yu attacks the city, you can't fight with him." Zhou Yu turned around and led his own soldiers down the city wall.

Guan Yu's father and son made the same move, but Yan Yan and Zhou Yu of the old fox also made the same move, closed without fighting.

Spank a fart.
