As for when to move south to Jingzhou, Pang Tong seems to have his own decision. As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Pang Tong put away the uninhibited look on his face, and said solemnly with a solemn face: "Lord, I think it is ...... Late February is the best time for the army to move south. ”

As soon as Pang Tong's voice fell, except for Zhuge Liang's nodding in agreement, the other civil and military forces of the Liangzhou Army, for the time being, still failed to understand the reason, and all the civil and military officers looked at Pang Tong in unison, waiting for his explanation.

Li Mu thought about it for a while, but he couldn't guess the reason, and then asked with a questioning face: "The day of sending out the troops was chosen in late February, what is the reason?" ”

At this moment, Pang Tong first hesitated for two or three breaths, did not rush to explain, and then looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile. Zhuge Liang naturally understood the meaning of Pang Tong...... Pang Tong wanted to see how he Zhuge Liang was thinking.

"The climate in Jingzhou is quite different from the climate in Guanzhong! In late February, the people of Guanzhong were still resting, but the people of Jingzhou were already busy farming.

Therefore, when the people of Jingzhou were busy farming, our army sent troops south with lightning speed. At that time, the Jingzhou army naturally did not have time to forcibly recruit people and transport logistics materials for them. ”

"In addition, after entering February, the Dajiang (Yangtze River) will be ...... There is no heavy rain or flood, and the water situation above the river is stable, which is conducive to the operation of our Liangzhou Water Division! ”

"The last reason is...... In late February, the northwest wind prevailed throughout Jingzhou. Just right...... Nanyang County is located in the northwest of Jingzhou, and the troops from Nanyang County are sent south, and the sailors of our Liangzhou Army can take advantage of the wind...... Directly hit the water village of the Jingzhou army on the south bank of the river and other defense facilities. ”

Zhuge Liang already had an idea in his heart, and immediately, without the slightest hesitation, he shook the feather fan in his hand, and his expression was full of affirmation, explaining one by one.

"Every strategy set by the Tong Institute can't escape Kong Ming's thoughts!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Pang Tong's heart was stunned, and then, with a respectful face, he said loudly: "What Kong Ming said is really what Tong thinks in his heart!" ”

"I see!"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Li Mu thought about it again, and then, with a smile on his face, he said aloud with deep understanding: "If it weren't for Kong Ming's confusion, I really wouldn't have thought of it...... Sending troops in late February, there will be so many advantages! That being the case...... The time to go south to Jingxiang this time is set for late February! ”

The Liangzhou army was civil and military, and then they suddenly came to their senses. The Liangzhou army is civil and military, and they also nod their heads to be good!

"What Eli Saw......"

Li Mu looked around at the Liangzhou army and the civil and military circles, and then asked in a solemn voice: "This time, go south to Jingxiang...... And how should soldiers be used? ”

"Take my Liangzhou military and water division...... With today's combat power, it is not difficult to defeat the Jingzhou Water Army! ”

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Pang Tong had already made up his mind, and immediately, Cheng Zhu said loudly in his chest: "What Yitong sees...... Our army can divide into three routes and go south to capture Jingxiang. ”

"Which three-way army is ......?"

Li Mu nodded, and asked with a smile: "Shiyuan, let's listen to it!" ”

"The First Route Army sent troops from Biyang and Fuyang in the east of Nanyang County, and captured Pingchun, Huangyu County, Guo, and Xiyang in Jiangxia County by land. Thenceforth...... The army from the north of Jiangxia County besieged the county of Jiangxia County to govern Xiling City!

The Second Route Army, dispatched troops from Zhangling and Suixian in Nanyang County, went south along the green forest mountains and water, and captured the Yundu, Anlu and Jingling lines in Jiangxia County from the waterway. Subsequently, my Liangzhou military and naval division entered Yunmengze.

At that time, the second army will divide the troops again, and one of the armies will go east to capture Shaxian, a major land in the east of Yunmengze, and then the sailors will go south along the river from the south of Jiangxia County...... Encircle Jiangxia County's county governance Xiling City!

The other army, west out of Yunmengze, entered the river, traced the river, and captured Huarong and Jiangling, the southern strongholds of Jingzhou South County. After the army on this road captures these two important places, it can wave its army to the north, all the way to break the Zhijiang River, Dangyang, Yicheng, the country, and the country's first line, and encircle the southern county to govern Xiangyang City.

The Third Route Army, from the first line of Zhuyang and Xinye in Nanyang County, went south along the water and water, entered the Hanshui, and directly attacked Deng County and Fancheng. If these two cities are broken, then Nanjun County will govern Xiangyang City...... There are no more outlying strongholds to defend. This road army...... You can enter Xiangyang City! ”

Pang Tong shook his head, and then, with a solemn expression, he explained the thoughts in his heart one by one.

After listening to Pang Tong's troop route, the Liangzhou army was civil and military, and after thinking about it, he felt that Pang Tong's strategy was feasible. Immediately, the Liangzhou army nodded in unison!

"Shi Yuan's advice is wonderful...... Wonderful! ”

Li Mu thought for a while, nodded slowly, first praised loudly, and then looked at Zhuge Liang's direction, and asked thoughtfully: "What does Kong Ming think?" ”

"Among the three armies mentioned by Shi Yuan, the second army is actually ...... The main army that went south this time. The first army is a partial division; The third army is a suspicious soldier! ”

"Xiangyang City is tall and strong, even if it can be stormed, it is not the best policy. Therefore, according to Shiyuan's strategy...... Our army seems to be heading south to capture Jiangxia County, but in fact it is to capture the two cities of Huarong and Jiangling, which are important places in the south of Nanjun. ”

"What I saw with the light...... Only using the Third Route Army as a suspicious soldier, although Liu Biao will be able to make a plan, he will not ...... the main force of the Jingzhou Army All gathered in Xiangyang City. Therefore, Liang thought it was ...... The Fourth Route Army should be sent as a suspicious soldier...... Together with the Third Route Army...... Encircle the southern county and govern Xiangyang City! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, shook the feather fan in his hand, and said in a confident voice without hurrying or slowing, his expression was full of determination, and his tone was full of confidence.

"Very good! What Kong Ming said is exactly what I want! ”

Li Mu nodded with a smile on his face, and immediately praised it, and then, his expression was full of determination and said with a smile: "The Fourth Route Army that Kong Ming said is a ...... Fangling of Hanzhong County sent troops...... At that time, the Hanzhong Naval Division went south along Zhushui and captured Deng County from the west? ”

"What the lord said is very true!"

Zhuge Liang nodded respectfully, and then, shaking the feather fan in his hand, he said very firmly: "If Liu Biao knows...... The sailors of Hanzhong County came to capture Deng County and Xiangyang City, and they will definitely gather the main force of the Jingzhou Army in Xiangyang City. At that time, the front line of Huarong and Jiangling City will inevitably be empty! ”

"Good!"

Li Mu looked around at the civil and military forces, and said in a solemn voice: "This time I went south to Jingxiang, and the troops went out of four ways, divided into joint attacks, and broke the Jingzhou army together!" ”

The Liangzhou army nodded in unison and said yes!
