Guan Ping added soldiers and horses to Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Wei Yan and other generals, and this group of people was already well-trained, as long as they were slightly integrated and cooperated with the generals, they could be called elite.

But the integration will take three months.

At this moment, the layout of Jiangdong people has changed a little.

Previously, it was Zhou Yu's 40,000 naval army, the infantry army was stationed in Jiangling, the 10,000 naval army set up a water village in the north of the public security, and Sun Quan led the 50,000 infantry army to stand in the public security.

Now Sun Quan personally went out to the public security and crossed the river to Nanjun, that is, the north bank of the Yangtze River, to set up a water village. There are 50,000 infantry troops and 20,000 naval troops, all on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The defenders of Gangneung were left with only 20,000 left.

That is, the three roads are arranged in a straight line, Zhou Yu leads the troops in front, Sun Quan is in the middle, and the public security is in the back.

Sun Quan also mobilized 10,000 sailors and stood in Jiangxia to prepare for the back.

There are as many as 110,000 people in Jiangdong.

This kind of layout is also worried about the harassment of one's own grain routes, and the main thing is to defend one's own grain routes.

On the Guan family's side, Mi Wei led the troops to guard Zigui and operate their own grain roads, because this part of the army relied on Fangling to take the mountain road to supply.

Ma Liang, Zhao Tong, and Zhang Bao led more than 10,000 elite soldiers and were stationed in Mingqiu. This place is located not far to the southwest of Gangneung Fortress, the terrain is very high, and it is some distance from the Yangtze River.

Even if it rains heavily, the Yangtze River will not be flooded.

Ma Liang guarded this place, which was a certain threat to the grain route of the Jiangdong people.

Zhuge Liang ordered Jiang Wan, Chen Lan, and Lei Xu to stay in Anlu, organize the people, and do a good job in logistics, while he crossed the Han River to reach the city on the edge of Jiangxia close to Nanjun, with thousands of elite soldiers.

Li Zheng led the people and thousands of elite soldiers from his headquarters to camp in Dangyang. Zhao Yun's cavalry also lived with Li Zheng.

Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others led a naval army of 20,000 or 30,000 people, and set up a water village at the junction of Nanjun and Jiangxia County.

There are ten cities in Nanjun, including three cities in the Zigui area, under the actual control of the Guan family, Jiangling City is under the control of Zhou Yu, and the remaining six cities are accepted by the Guan family's Zhao'an and expressed their willingness to belong to the Guan family.

In other words, the situation faced by Koto is also extremely embarrassing. All around were the enemy's city forces, and although they had 100,000 elite soldiers, it was only a straight line.

The people of Jiangdong actually know that there is no benefit in entangling with the Guan family.

Because of the power of Jiangdong, it is located in the area of Wu County, and the grain road is very long, and it is absolutely no good to fight for a long time.

When Jiangdong people want to have a piece of land on the north bank of the Yangtze River, they can plan for the future. Moreover, this city is also a strong city, Gangneung City.

Now that the meat has been swallowed, he is reluctant to spit it out.

Both sides are still relatively restrained. Guan Ping descended from the east of the Han Dynasty and mobilized troops and horses to Xiangyang. The people of Jiangdong also continued to mobilize materials from Jiangdong to come.

Anyway, everyone knew that the city of Gangneung was extremely important, and they all wanted to fight, but they didn't do it for a while.

And Zhao Yun was the one who did it first.

At present, the situation in Dangyang City is more complicated, because the people from Jiangling have migrated to the north of Dangyang, and there are more than 100,000 people.

Build a big camp and live like this.

These people brought some food, but it was not enough to eat, and at present, the Guan family is providing them with food.

There are still thousands of people in Dangyang City.

Li Zheng and Da Zhao Yun led the army to be stationed in the south of Dangyang City, and the military camps of the two were separated in the north and south, Li Zheng was in front and Zhao Yun was in the back.

Li Zheng's thousands of elite soldiers fought only once. At present, physical strength, spirit, and morale are extremely high. However, Zhao Yun's troops attacked and harassed Cao's army camp for many days, but they were quite damaged and tired.

After coming to Dangyang, rest is the main thing.

Li Zheng and Zhao Yun didn't know each other, because Li Zheng was originally a general under Guan Ping, and when Guan Ping entered Fangling, he was promoted to lead the army.

Zhao Yun naturally didn't know Li Zheng.

But Zhao Yun is an old qualification, a general of the previous generation, and Li Zheng is a junior. Therefore, the two battalions lived next to each other, and Li Zheng came to visit Zhao Yun from time to time, and during this time, the two got along very well.

But Zhao Yun is approachable, while Li Zheng is open-minded and studious.

At noon on this day, Li Zheng came to visit Zhao Yun with his own soldiers and brought some bacon. The two of them sat down together and made the bacon into a side dish.

After eating, the two sat in Zhao Yun's big tent and talked about military affairs together.

"The so-called cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and if the cavalry wants to slaughter the infantry army, it needs to be before the other party gathers. If the opponent's infantry army is assembled, bows, crossbows, shields, and spears are all used, then the cavalry will attack the infantry army's formation, and it will be self-defeating. Therefore, during the period of Gaozu to Emperor Jing, the Xiongnu fought with our emperor and Han, and there was never a frontal fight. Later, Emperor Wu set up a plan to surround the Xiongnu cavalry with hundreds of thousands of troops. But the Huns found out and withdrew. The Emperor Han did not gain anything in that battle, but wasted money and food. Later, the reason why the Huns were defeated was because of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who went deep into the desert with cavalry and eliminated the royal court. The so-called Huns, Di Yi also. Fight a war of attrition, they can't beat us. Nowadays, the Xiongnu only have one part of the Southern Xiongnu left, and they are currently stationed in the northern region of Bingzhou. ”

Zhao Yun usually doesn't talk much, but when he talks about cavalry, he is really full of energy.

Talking about Wei Qing, who led the cavalry into the desert back then, Huo Quai's two generals were full of admiration.

What a role model for my generation.

And Li Zheng likes to listen to this, although some things are also recorded in the book, but when it comes out of Zhao Yun's mouth, the taste is different.

Li Zheng was also quite emotional, then stood up with his hands behind his back, paced, and said: "In the past, the great enemy of our emperor and Han was the Xiongnu, since Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Huanghan and built the capital Luoyang. The Qiang people in the west rebelled in Liangzhou for up to a hundred years. After the Yellow Turban, the situation in Liangzhou became more and more erosive, and the Southern Xiongnu also entered the state. At present, Cao Cao nominally controls the annexed states, but only controls some important cities, and a large number of Huns moved inward, burning, killing and looting. If one day, the general's father and son will run rampant in the north and help the Han family. I should ask for orders to defend Liangzhou, or to conquer and merge the Xiongnu and make meritorious contributions. ”

Li Zheng is unpretentious, arrogant, and likes to make meritorious contributions. It's not a vulgar thing.

The rewards he received were given to the soldiers, and the soldiers were raised, and it was very simple for him to eat, and the soldiers were willing to serve him, which was the reason why he dared to attack Xiahou Yuan with 5,500 elite soldiers.

If the two sides have the same strength, it will be a fight during the day, and Li Zheng also has this courage.

"There's a chance. The general's father and son are in full swing, Jingzhou has arrived, and Bashu is not far away. You are young, and you have the opportunity to make contributions, and you will definitely be a marquis in the future. ”

Zhao Yun likes a great guy like Li Zheng, and said with a smile when he heard the words.

"Thank you General Zhao for your kind words, and I will definitely do my best to make contributions." Li Zheng was overjoyed and said.

"Huh." Zhao Yun smiled and touched his beard.

At this moment, a personal soldier under Zhao Yun's command walked in from outside and handed a bamboo tube to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, Li Zheng saw the constriction.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube, took out the silk cloth inside, and said, "But it was the lord who ordered me to go to Jiangxia and work with Zhuge Kongming to attack the grain route in Jiangdong. ”

"That's right, how to drive away Cao Cao, how to drive away Sun Quan. The north bank of the Yangtze River is the land of the Guanjia family, and Sun Quan is not allowed to touch it. ”

Li Zheng said.

"General Li's courage is a little smaller." Zhao Yun shook his head with a smile and said.

"What did General Zhao teach me?" Li Zheng asked solemnly when he heard this.

"Drive Sun Quan away first, and then go south to Jingnan in the coming day, and even capture Jiangdong along the water. The world needs to be unified. Zhao Yun laughed, then put the silk cloth away, and said to the soldiers: "Order the soldiers, go to Jiangxia." ”

"No." The soldiers answered the promise and immediately gave the order. The cavalry packed up their things, but it was also very fast. You don't have to bring anything, just weapons, a little dry food, and forage.

Li Zheng said goodbye to Zhao Yun.

At present, Zhuge Liang is based in Chengyang County, Jiangxia, which is a small city. Zhuge Liang exerted his farming skills, and after coming to Chengyang County, he stepped up the construction of the high city wall and hoarded a large amount of heavy grain and grass.

And to the west of Chengyang County, is the boundary of Nanjun.

When Zhuge Liang heard the news, he took Ge Yun and other county officials out of the north gate to greet Zhao Yun.

The two did not have a deep relationship, but they had met.

"General Zilong."

"Mr. Kong Ming."

In front of the city gate, Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, and the two sides had met. Then Zhao Yun said, "Sir." My department did not bring baggage, and please arrange a camp so that I can set up a camp. As for how to attack the Koto people, the lord asked me to listen to the orders of the gentleman. ”

"Okay." Zhuge Liang responded, let the chief bookkeeper Ge Yun be responsible for handling the matter, and then led Zhao Yun into the city and came to the study of the mansion where he was temporarily staying.

The two did not sit separately, Zhuge Liang held a desk and put it in the center, asked Zhao Yun to sit down, and then took the map and sat opposite.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the map and said, "The Jianghan Plain is very vast, suitable for the general's cavalry. But Sun Quan's 110,000 soldiers and horses should not be underestimated. Generals should not be greedy for merit, but should be cautious. If you attack the grain truck, you will succeed, and if you don't succeed, you will immediately flee. Because of the waterway, it can also be disturbed. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang pointed to a point on the map and said, "Wang Wei, Liao Hua, Huang Zhong, and Ding Feng led twenty or thirty thousand naval troops here." Jiangdong's grain baggage had to be transported from Jiangdong through the Yangtze River. We send sailors to attack them, and it will be difficult for them to pass. If you force it over, it's okay, Sun Quan needs to be protected by a water army. If Sun Quan comes to attack the water village, we will close the water village and refuse to fight. Because our food does not need to go by water, and the food is in Fangling, Xinye, very close. And if Sun Quan feels that the waterway is troublesome and takes the land route, it will be protracted. It costs people's power. ”

"This is a plan to exhaust the enemy, and when Shanyue riots, Sun Quan can be forced away." Zhao Yun understood and said with a smile.

"What General Zilong said is very true. Sun Quan's confidants are in great trouble, not Cao Cao, nor the Guan family, but Shanyue. In the past, Sun Quan crusaded against Huang Zu, and the mountains were linked, but they have not been successful. Now he not only has Shanyue, the Jingnan area he occupies, but also the Wuxi barbarians. I have written to the lord and asked him to choose a man of eloquence and go to Jingnan to persuade the barbarian king Shamoke to send troops to besiege Changsha. Create chaos in Koto. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face.

But don't look at Sun Quan's profits from the fisherman, and get four and a half counties in Jingnan. But it also increases the risk.

The foundation of Sun Quan's rule in Jingnan was not solid, the people were not attached, and the materials were insufficient. Supplies need to be brought from Koto. There are also Wuxi barbarians.

If you add the Yamagoe riots.

On the contrary, the northern part of the Yangtze River occupied by the Guan family is all plains and Han people, and there is no risk in this regard.

Liu Cong of Jingzhou perished, and Cao Cao gained a population of two or three hundred thousand and forty or fifty thousand Jingzhou soldiers.

Sun Quan won four and a half counties in Jingnan.

Guan Yu won Xiangyang, half of Jiangxia County, and Nanjun is still in contention.

If you can go south to Nanjun, the fattest meat will be obtained by the Guan family.
