After breakfast, Tian Xin led his troops to travel lightly with the tiger talisman, and he only received five days of military rations.

It is additionally equipped with more than 20 horsemen to assist in reconnaissance and transmission, and the actual combat strength cannot be counted on.

Fifteen hundred men divided into seven teams and winded north along the dirt road.

Seven song teams, respectively holding the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth character battle flags, Tian Xin next to a 'Yidu camp to supervise Tian' battle flag followed.

The soldiers of the subordinate marched in armor, although they did not have any extra baggage, but they also had to rest at noon and boil mung bean porridge and water.

Around June is not suitable for combat, and the hot weather is very unfriendly to the heavily armed troops, and the attrition of personnel from heat stroke may be even more serious than the attrition of combat troops.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been cool, and there is plenty of grain and grass, which is conducive to fighting, and is also conducive to capturing and eating the enemy.

The new force is full of energy and physical strength.

It was approaching the evening and successfully arrived at the second camp in the east, which was the second-line stronghold, and the garrison in the first camp in the east was the five battalions of soldiers led by General Xiahoulan.

After settling the troops, Tian Xin drove his horse to the Dongyi Battalion, ten miles away, to report to Xiahoulan.

Xiahou Lan's beard had been dyed white, her face was thin and thin, and she and Tian Xin were alone in the tent.

There is a simple sand table in the tent, and the castles and mountains on it are made of mud, and the Han water and the water are outlined in ink.

It can be seen that the Han River from the west passes through Gucheng and Xiangyang and then flows with the Shuishui, and turns sharply to the south, Xiangyang is on the corner of the bend in the south of the Han River, and the Da Xian Mountain and the Han River depend on each other, and it is the commanding height within a hundred miles around. If the Jingzhou Navy Division moves, it will be detected by the defenders of Da Xian Mountain from a distance of twenty or thirty miles.

What is dazzling is that there are seven or eight strongholds of the Cao army in Da Xian Mountain, with a small number of more than 100 people and a large number of 3500 people.

The most important thing is that if Tian Xin attacks Da Xian, he will march from the flank of Yicheng controlled by Cao's army, Yicheng County has been conquered by Guan Yu, and now Yicheng is the newly built southern governor of Xiangyang, who is called Li Xu, the eldest son of Li Tong; At the same time, it was also stationed in Tunnan Township, guarding Fu Fang's first army, and there was also Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu's army on the Qinba Ancient Road between Yicheng and Xiangyang, and Xiangyang City had Pingdi's general Lu Chang's first army.

Xiahou Lan picked up a mud pass and placed it on the narrow hills and passages between Da Xian Mountain and Hanshui, and said in an indifferent tone: "This is Nanshan Pass, where Sun Jian died in the past. If you attack this pass, the defenders of Yicheng will be shaken, and they will worry that the back road will be cut off. ”

"When you march into Nanshan Pass, you must make a big fanfare, and the old man will also lead the army to follow you and suppress the battle for you. Although there are many Cao Jun in Yicheng, Li Xuguo is by no means as good as his father, Fu Fang is dull and worried, and he does not dare to come out lightly without Cao Ren's clear order. Even if you go out of the city, the old man can shoot you away and keep you safe. ”

Tian Xin looked at it and bowed slightly: "General, I will pull out Nanshan first, and then condescend and break through it." ”

It can be seen from the simple sand table that there are two ways to Xiangyang from here, one is to break through Yicheng and enter Xiangyang from the Qinba Ancient Road in the west of Da Xian; The other is the hilly road between Da Xian Mountain and Hanshui, where there are many camps and strongholds in Nanguan, Tanxi and Xiangkou.

The two places borrowed the danger of Da Xian Mountain, but if Da Xian Mountain fell, it would become a flaw.

Da Hyeon Mountain is not a lonely peak, nor a mountain, but the mountains in the southwest of Xiangyang, which can roughly be divided into three main mountains: North Da Shou Mountain, South Mountain, and Wanshan Mountain.

"Yes."

Xiahou Lan hesitated a little and said: "The headquarters of General Liyi Pang De has been drawn from Yexian, and Cao Ren has been instructed by Cao Cao to attack the south. Now General Cao Jun thinks that he is a soldier and has the heart to underestimate the enemy. You hit Da Hyeon Mountain in the north...... Hehe, just rest assured to fight. ”

Is there anything else?

Is he just the introduction in a series of combination punches, whether success or failure does not affect the overall situation?

Tian Xin looked at the sand table and fell into deep thought, now the Jingzhou army has 5,000 infantry and cavalry, 4,000 general Lei Xu, nearly 4,000 general Xiahou Lanyi soldiers, Zhao Lei, the governor of the naval division, 8,000 soldiers stationed in Hanjin, Jiangling Taishou Mifang 5,000 stationed in Tunjiangling, and 3,000 people from the general Fu Shiren stationed in Tun Gong'an City, echoing Mifang on the north bank.

Meng Da took 4,000 parts from Yidu County over the mountains and mountains to capture Fangling, and he was already under Liu Feng's moderation and broke away from Guan Yu's moderation.

So after his arrival, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Legion actually recruited three more battalions of Yi soldiers, totaling 2,000 people.

Then in the battle around Xiangyang in front of him, Guan Yu participated in the battle with 23,000 troops; The reserve force is 8,000 of Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, with a total of 31,000 troops.

The military tent was speechless for a while, Tian Xin's eyes fell on Fangling in the upper reaches of the Han River, Liu Feng and Meng Da had nine thousand veterans of the army, counting the three eastern counties of Shen Tan and Shen Yi, they could easily make up an army of 10,000 people to participate in the war.

Xiahou Lan had enough patience to wait for Tian Xin to think, so she listened to Tian Xin's consideration: "General, if the deputy army general leads more than 10,000 people down the Han River, and Zhao Dudu leads 8,000 water divisions to go north from Hanjin, and the Cao army of Xiangyang can be captured in one net." The dull posture of the last general can also see this, Cao Ren has been fighting for thirty years, and he should be prepared. ”

"You don't have to find out from the old man, and the old man is not afraid that you will know. Our army attacked against the trend to the north, but the prince and the marquis made a decision, not the order of General Zuo. This so-called general will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch. ”

Xiahou Lan picked up Tian Xin's tiger talisman and carefully pondered the texture, and gently pushed it to Tian Xin on the table: "Without General Zuo's order, the deputy army general does not dare to obey the monarch's moderation." General Zuo did not give an order, but our army counterattacked first, can Cao Junyan be prepared? You can do it with confidence, and don't worry about it. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands."

Tian Xin arched his hand, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and saw that Xiahoulan had no more arrangements, so he said goodbye and returned to the camp.

In the second battalion in the east, when he came back, the sergeants were all resting, and the seven Qu commanders, the left and right troops were still waiting for him.

Dong Hui, the head of the left army, reported to him on the replenishment of materials, and the required military tents and vehicles had been replenished according to the quantity.

In the barracks, Tian Xin also spread out a rudimentary map and said to the military officials sitting around: "Cao Ren has been ordered by Cao Cao to invade Jingzhou, and his righteous general Pang De has been drawn from Ye County a few days ago, and when he and Cao Ren join the south to cross the Han River, it should be five days later." Now the Cao army of Hannan and Xiangyang has the heart to despise our army, and never imagined that our army would counterattack the Northern Expedition at this moment. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the area around Nanshan and tapped: "Tomorrow, the fourth watch camp will go north, the sun and the moon will be the left wing, the gold and wood will be the forerunner, I will lead the earth and the song to the center, and the water and fire will escort the military tent and bow and crossbow equipment." ”

The seven Qu Commanders stood up to answer the order, and Tian Xin looked around at them: "Although I haven't received more military intelligence reports, I can understand the prince and the marquis, this battle will be a big battle with all my might." Our army is advancing by land and water, and when Cao Ren reacts, perhaps our army has broken through the three armies of Li Xu, Hu Xiu, and Fu Fang, and surrounded Xiangyang Lu Chang! ”

Dong Hui, Luo Qiong, and Geng Jaw, who was observing, looked at Tian Xin with strange eyes.

Tian Xin's eyes mainly fell on the faces of the seven Qu Chiefs, and their eyes touched: "Recently, I have heard a lot of people say that my Tian Xin is in vain, and it is exaggerated. But the prince chose me as the first move, not only for me but also for you to wait. Tomorrow, whether I attack Nanshan or Nanguan first, I will take the lead. I retreat, and the kings behead me; If the monarchs retreat, the tun will behead the heads of the monarchs, and the tun will retreat, and the team officers will behead them and take their posts. If the officer of the team retreats, the two soldiers are beheading him on the spot. Those who approve of my words raise their left arms. ”

He raised his left arm, and eleven arms were raised in the barracks.
