Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, Shaxian Zhizhi Xiakou City.

The Han River flows into the Yangtze River here, because the downstream of the Han River is also known as the summer water, so this place is called Xiakou, the waterway here is complex, the river is turbulent, and the terrain is extremely dangerous!

Xiakou City is located in the land of Xiakou, and its three sides are slowly descending, and only one side can be used for soldiers.

Xiakou City is more than four zhang high, the city wall is all made of bluestone, the city defense is extremely strong, and the external force can not break the city wall at all.

The moat outside Xiakou City follows the river flow of living water, the river width is nearly seven zhang, the river flow is agitated and the water is endless, from a distance, Xiakou City seems to be located on a floating island, the terrain is dangerous, it is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Huang Zu led an army of 30,000 from Anlu to support Xiakou, and after converging Su Fei's 10,000 defenders, an army of 40,000 had gathered in the land of Shaxian!

After Huang Zu arrived here, he personally led the army to sit in Xiakou City, and ordered Su Fei to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River outside the city, and Xiakou City became a corner and relied on each other as a barrier.

After Huang Zu learned that Yuan Yao had captured Huangzhou, he was furious in his heart, and hurriedly ordered Su Fei to take strict precautions and always pay attention to the movements of Yuan Yao's army.

。。。。。。

Yangzhou, Yuzhang County, Ai County, Sun Ce Daying.

Ai County is adjacent to Jingzhou, located at the junction of Yuzhang County, Jiangxia County and Changsha County, which can directly enter Changsha County to the west and Jiangxia County to the northwest.

Ai County has convenient transportation and is the key place of the two states and three counties.

After Sun Ce captured Nanchang, he personally led 40,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses and 10,000 Yuzhang troops with a total of 50,000 troops, set up a large camp outside Ai County, and looked down on the two counties of Jingzhou, Jiangxia and Changsha.

In order to deal with Sun Ce, Liu Pan led an army of 30,000 troops stationed in Xiajun County, and all the troops and horses of Liu Pan were again, if Sun Ce wanted to use troops against Jingzhou, he could only attack Changsha County, where Xia Jun County was located, and if he dared to attack Jiangxia County, Liu Pan could directly attack Yuzhang to cut off the back road and grain route of Sun Ce's army.

In the Jiangdong Army camp, Sun Ce Shuai's tent, Sun Ce sat on the top position, Jiangdong civil and military forces were divided into left and right, and everyone was deliberating.

After Sun Ce read a silk book, he said: "Tai Shi Ci sent back good news, he has led the army to capture Gan County, and Yuzhang County is already owned by my Jiangdong!" ”

Everyone congratulated: "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward at this time and bowed, and said, "Lord, the last general also has something to report." ”

Sun Ce replied with a smile: "Gongjin doesn't need to be so polite, if you have something to say, you and I are both monarchs and brothers!" ”

Zhou Yu stood up and said, "Previously, the Lord General sent scouts to pay attention to the movements of Yuan Yao's army in Huangzhou, but now the scouts have just sent back the news that Yuan Yao's army has broken through Huangzhou City last night!" ”

Sun Ce showed a hint of surprise and said, "Huh? Huangzhou City was broken? Didn't Yuan Yao's army have been helpless in Huangzhou City before, why did he suddenly attack it last night! But Yuan Yao mobilized reinforcements again, or was he preserving his strength before? ”

I have to say that the timing of Yuan Yao's capture of Huangzhou City is too coincidental.

Sun Ce's side had just led the army and the Jingzhou army to face each other, and Yuan Yao's side had exerted his strength, so that no one would inevitably have some more ideas.

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and replied: "The lord is too worried, if Yuan Yao really wants to deliberately preserve his strength, he will definitely not exert his strength to capture Huangzhou at this time, otherwise he will not be a failure?" ”

"The last general has already carefully questioned the scouts, and Yuan Yao Xiao'er used conspiracy and tricks to capture Huangzhou City! On the previous ten days, Yuan Yao's army had always been the first to collect troops when the city chief was attacked, but last night Yuan Yao suddenly sent a large army to attack Huangzhou at night, and the defenders of Huangzhou were caught off guard, which led to the loss of Huangzhou City! ”

Sun Ce rubbed his forehead and thought for a while, and felt that what Zhou Yu said should be right, if Yuan Yao really wanted to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, he would definitely not use his strength to capture Huangzhou City now, because if he really had that overall view, how could he not know that if he captured Huangzhou City, he would definitely arouse his own vigilance!

This battle must have been calculated by Yuan Yao, but it was just launched at this time, and the situation of the scout's return can also explain the matter, it seems that this matter should be a coincidence.

After Sun Ce figured out this section, he put the matter aside for the time being, and said, "Gong Jin, do you think that Yuan Yao's capture of Huangzhou City at this time will affect our army's plans?" ”

After Zhou Yu got the news, he had already thought a lot, and replied: "My lord, the last general thinks that the matter of Huangzhou will not affect the plans of our army, and just Huangzhou City can stop Yuan Yao's army for ten days, and Yuan Yao took great pains to capture it, which shows the difference in the frontal siege of Yuan Yao's army!" ”

"Xiakou City and Sanjiangkou are some of the most dangerous fortresses in the world, even if my Jiangdong army wants to capture this place, it will take a lot of energy and time, not to mention Yuan Yao's troops and horses. Even if Yuan Yao is full of wisdom, it is difficult to make up for the gap in geographical advantages, and if Yuan Yao's army wants to capture this place, it is impossible to succeed in the short term! ”

When Zhou Yu said this, he changed his words, and then said: "However, although the matter in Huangzhou will not affect our army's plans, the lord also needs to speed up. ”

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

Zhou Yu sorted out his thoughts for a moment and replied: "Lord, Yuan Yao hurriedly launched the capture of Huangzhou City, it can be seen that he has already felt the pressure brought by my Jiangdong army and Jingzhou army, and he is already anxious in his heart. Now that he has captured Huangzhou, he will definitely step up the rhythm to attack Xiakou and Sanjiangkou in the next step, Yuan Yao is young and vigorous, and he has been smooth sailing since taking power, with the geographical advantages of Xiakou and Sanjiangkou, if Huang Zu copes with it properly, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Yao will not suffer a big loss! Huang Zu has a deep hatred with my Jiangdong, if Yuan Yao's army is defeated and retreats, he will definitely interfere in the war between my Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and then my army may be in danger of being alone! ”

"Moreover, Changsha County now only has Liu Pan's 30,000 soldiers and horses, and this is the time when Changsha County's troops are the weakest, and it is the time when our army is in force. Wen Pingzheng, the general of Jingzhou, led an army of 30,000 to Changsha, and if he waited until the two armies were combined, it would be even more difficult for our army to attack Changsha County. At this time, the only way for our army to break through Liu Pan's soldiers and horses first, and then to fight a decisive battle with Wenpin with a great victory, is the best policy! ”

Sun Ce looked at the map on the table, pondered for a long time, and finally drew his sword and said, "If you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!" What Gong Jin said is very true, at this time, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha County, and it is the time when our army is victorious, and the generals will listen to the order! ”

The people stood up and bowed, "I'll listen to orders!" ”

"Tomorrow, the army will pull out the camp and target Jun County!"

"No, I'll obey!"

Sun Ce glanced at the generals and said, "Gong Jin is the vanguard general, Chen Wu and Ling Cao are the deputy generals, leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to be the vanguard of our army!" ”

Zhou Yu, Chen Wu and Ling Cao stood up and bowed: "Nuo, we will receive the order, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

"Sun He is the chief general of the rear army, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort grain, grass and baggage to the rear!"

Sun He came out of the column and bowed: "Nuo, the last general will take the order, and he will ensure that the grain and grass are not lost!" ”

"Alright, let's all go down and reorganize the army."
