250,000 Jingzhou troops gathered in various places around Jiangxia County, and Yuan Yao's troops and horses in Jiangxia County also gathered!

Wei Yan, the general under Yuan Yao, led an army of 20,000 troops to garrison the city of Baling, and the 70,000 troops of Liu Pan's army assembled in the Linxiang area; Yuan Yao's general Zhang Dingbian also led a garrison of 20,000 soldiers and horses to confront the 80,000 troops under Wen Ping and Wang Wei who had gathered in the Jiangling area. Jiangdong general Lu Meng led 10,000 soldiers and horses and 5,000 county soldiers to garrison and Anlu City, faintly monitoring Liu Bei's troops and Cao Cao's troops stationed in Nanyang County, Yue Fei personally led 20,000 elite troops to garrison and Wulin area, and all kinds of soldiers and horses echoed each other, as long as there was a war in one place, Yue Fei could lead the army to support at any time.

After Yuan Yao led Yang Zaixing's 20,000 personal guards and Zhou Yu and Gan Ning's 40,000 sailors to Xiakou, the strength of Yuan Yao's troops gathered in Jiangxia County had also reached 130,000! These 130,000 troops are already most of the elite under Yuan Yao's command, especially the 20,000 pro-guard troops are the essence of the various armies under Yuan Yao's command, and the 20,000 pro-guard troops are even enough to match the combat power of a war zone!

It can be said that most of the combat power of the army under Yuan Yao's command has been gathered by Yuan Yao to Jiangxia County!

If this battle is won, Yuan Yao can naturally take advantage of the situation to sweep the land of Jingzhou, and perhaps there is also the possibility of marching into Yizhou to unify the southern land.

However, if this battle is lost, the combat strength of Yuan Yao's forces will immediately be injured, and the Jingzhou army will not say that it can directly counterattack under Yuan Yao's rule, at least to maintain the balance between the two sides and keep the remaining six counties of Jingzhou, there is no problem.

In this way, Yuan Yao will lose the perfect opportunity to take the land of Jingzhou and lay the foundation for him to unify the southern land when Cao Cao's army conquers Hebei!

This battle is also related to the southern subordination and the general trend of the world!!

……

Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, Xiakou City.

Yuan Yao led the army to camp outside Xiakou City, has been waiting for news from the north, this day Jinyi Wei commander Mao Xiang to report: Yuan's two sons have reached an agreement, Yuan Shang inherited the position of general, Yuan Tan added the position of general of the chariot cavalry, the two of them each led the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and decided to resist Cao first! Yuan Tan led 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers and horses as the front army, Yuan Shang led 100,000 Jizhou soldiers and horses as the rear army, 200,000 troops went straight to Liyang, Cao Jun has also begun to attack Liyang City, Cao Yuan and Yuan have started the war again, this battle will directly determine the ownership of Hebei!

After Yuan Yao learned of this, he hurriedly asked all the people under his command to come over, and after everyone finished saluting, Yuan Yao said: "Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have reached an agreement, and they have each crowned the positions of general and general of the chariot cavalry, and they are determined to join forces to resist Cao, and the 300,000 Cao army has also begun to attack Liyang City, and Cao Cao and the Hebei army have started fighting again." Cao's army went north, and there was no time to take care of the land of Jingzhou, and the good opportunity that had been waiting for had appeared, so what was the best strategy for the battle of Jingzhou? ”

Yuan Yao has achieved the general trend at this time, and all the people under his command are also civil and military heroes, although some of these civil and military subordinates are left in Anhui County, or divided into various places, but at this time the people gathered in Xiakou City are also luxurious, in addition to Pang Tong, Lu Su, Yang Zaixing, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others who came with the army, Jiangxia Taishou Yu Turn, Yuzhang County Taishou Chen Deng, Jingzhou Theater Metropolitan Governor Yue Yun and others have also all come to Xiakou to meet Yuan Yao.

The battle of Jingzhou is imminent, for this battle everyone has been discussed many times, has almost reached a consensus opinion, Pang Tong stepped forward and bowed, said: "Back to the lord, the main force of the Jingzhou army is currently all gathered in Xiangyang, Jiangling and Linxiang, of which Xiangyang gathered 100,000 troops, Jiangling gathered 80,000 troops, and Linxiang gathered 70,000 troops!" ”

"Among the three armies, although Xiangyang has the most soldiers and horses and is the most elite, but its generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and others are just some ordinary people, and their army has attacked Jingling City twice before but has not conquered it, it can be seen that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and others are not worried, and General Zhang Dingbian is stationed in Jingling City enough to drag it down."

"Jiangling soldiers and horses to Jingzhou generals Wen Ping and Wang Wei two generals, although the number of soldiers and horses in the army is not as good as Xiangyang soldiers and horses, but the enemy generals Wen Ping and Wang Wei are both Jingzhou generals, these two brave and good fighting army can not be underestimated, the three Jingzhou army with the most powerful force of the threat to our army is also the greatest; And Nanjun is the essence of Jingzhou, Liu Biao is the land of Jingzhou for decades of savings hoarded here, as long as you can defeat Wen Ping and Wang Wei, capture Jiangling City, the lord can obtain the greatest wealth of Jingzhou, and then the lord will attack Xiangyang with a big victory to swallow Jingzhou, will be invincible! ”

"Although Linxiang Liu Pan is also a general of Jingzhou, but the previous several wars have hurt the vitality of his army, now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses are in addition to the local 10,000 soldiers and horses of Changsha County, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses are all reinforcements from Jingnan counties.

As soon as Pang Tong's words fell, he saw Yue Fei step forward and said, "Lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to break through the Linxiang soldiers and horses, and help the lord to conquer the four counties of Jingnan!" ”

Yuan Yao saw that Pang Tong was quite unfinished with words, so he said: "Pengju is a little bit, and my free military order will be conveyed later, and I will definitely give you the opportunity to lead the army alone and make contributions." ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" When Yue Fei heard this, he was overjoyed and retreated.

Yuan Yao continued to look at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, I think you seem to have unfinished words, I wonder if you have other concerns?" ”

Pang Tong sighed and said: "Jingzhou Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the house, with the lord's military strategy and divine martial arts, if you use common sense, it is only a matter of time to take the land of Jingzhou, but now the situation in Jingzhou has variables, and if the lord wants to take the land of Jingzhou, I am afraid that he will have to go through some twists and turns." ”

"The person I am worried about is none other than Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who is stationed in the Xinye area, and his military advisor Zhuge Kongming!"

"The lord must not underestimate these two people because of the small number of Xinye troops, Liu Bei Liu Xuande is known as benevolence and righteousness, his people have the title of imperial uncle, and he has always had great ambitions, and his subordinates have been about Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are thousands of enemies, and now they have the help of Zhuge Liang, who is known as Wolong, and now they are even more powerful!"
