Just when the battle between the Han army and the Xiliang army came to an end temporarily, the battle between the Chu army and various forces was in full swing!

In the past half a month, the Chu army has been marching all the way under the leadership of Xiang Yu, first capturing Changsha County, and then going straight to Wuling, Dongting and other places. And after the Sun-Liu coalition army completed the meeting in Wuling, it also began to clash with the Chu army.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, the Jiujiang army in Yingchuan also approached Changge Pass, and used the strategy of attacking the east to cut off Yue Fei's grain and grass line, but fortunately, Yue Fei was flexible and changeable, and only after holding Changge Pass for three days, he secretly hid the grain and grass before leading the troops to retreat to Ruping, and used the terrain to block the advance of the Jiujiang army in Ruping.

And Han Xin, who was in Qidi, also began to move, constantly transporting grain to Xuzhou to increase troops, and eyeing Xiapi and Xiaopei.

Xiang Yu was also a little uneasy in his heart after receiving reports from all over the country, although Yue Fei's ability was undoubted, but in the face of Cao Cao, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Xu Chu and other fierce generals, I was afraid that not only would I not be able to get a bargain but also suffer a loss!

After contacting Zhou Bo and Zhao Yun, Xiang Yu decided to fight quickly, and the troops were divided into three ways and approached Dongting!

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Chu army, the Sun-Liu coalition army also quickly changed its strategy, recalled Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and planned to engage in a tug-of-war with Xiang Yu in Wuling! They also knew that Yue Fei would not be able to hold out for long under Cao Cao's fierce offensive, as long as Xiang Yu was dragged down, sooner or later Yue Fei's defense line would be brought down, and Xiang Yu would have to retreat!

Dongting Jiangshi, the camp of the Chu army.

Xiang Yu and Zhuge Liang were discussing the battle plan in the camp.

"Report! Report to the king, General Zhao has now marched to Yanxiang Valley! ”

"Got it! You go down first! When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately waved his hand.

"Yanxiang Mountain, here! King! Zhuge Liang looked at the map and said.

Since the invention of paper by the Ministry of Industry, Xiang Yu began to secretly put paper into the camp, and found a group of painters to stand by in the army. Often there are more than a dozen in each place, Xiang Yu called these paintings maps as in his previous life, and everyone in the army thought it was Xiang Yu's name when they heard it, and they began to use the name map.

Now Xiang Yu has a map of the Dongting area in his hand! And it's basically full picture! Looking at the map in front of him, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel that he had made a contribution to this era again!

"Hmmm! It is only more than 30 miles away from Dongting, and if you enter the army, it will be Huting Pass! Xiang Yu looked at the map and said.

"Hmmm! Stationed at Huting Pass is Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu! Zhuge Liang prompted.

"Guan Yu?" When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately thought about it.

"King, Liang thinks that General Zhao should be ordered to be stationed on the high mountains on both sides of Yanxiang Mountain first, otherwise he will ......"

"Oh? Why does the gentleman recommend this? Xiang Yu was confused about Zhuge Liang's words.

"King, please see, this Dongting Pass is only more than ten miles away from Dongting Lake, it is now spring, Dongting is the time of rising water, if General Zhao rushes into Huting Pass, I am afraid that Guan Yu will break the embankment of Dongting, take a water attack, and flood our army!" Zhuge Liang said earnestly.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he immediately realized, after all, during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu relied on flooding the Seventh Army, breaking the Seven Roads Cao Junsheng and capturing the ban, killing Pang De, and shocking China, becoming the most glorious career in Guan Yu's history.

It was also this battle that Cao Cao, who was forced by Guan Erye, almost moved the capital, and later if it weren't for Sun Quan's fear that Liu Bei's family would be dominant, he hurriedly seized Jingzhou, but he was afraid that Boss Cao would really move the capital to avoid his edge!

After Xiang Yu thought about it like this, he immediately felt a chill in his back, if he really ordered Zhao Yun to move forward, he was afraid that he would really let Guan Yu end it up!

"But if you don't enter the Huting Pass, then how can you fight with the Sun Liu coalition army quickly?"

"Don't worry! Now that Sun Quan and Liu Bei's legions have retreated to the Dongting area and garrisoned the last line of defense, they are simply unable to fight with us, and the reason why they do this is to delay our army, their only hope now is that the Jiujiang army can conquer Ruping, and then our army will have to retreat! ”

"Hmmm! What the gentleman said is good. ”

Zhuge Liang paused and continued: "But they have an Achilles' heel in doing this!" That is, the Dongting area is too big, and their battle line is too long! There is no way to support each other! So, they chose to give up something that didn't matter! And these inconsequential places are the breakthrough points of our army!

As long as our army breaks the advantage of their backs to Dongting, then the sovereignty can be returned to our army, and then our army can fight a decisive battle with them on the water of Dongting Lake! In this way, our army can be said to have taken advantage of the time, place, and people! ”

Xiang Yu listened to Zhuge Liang's remarks, but he couldn't close his mouth in shock, only feeling that Zhuge Liang in front of him was really terrifying! Xiang Yu never thought that he would choose the place for the decisive battle on Dongting Lake! Xiang Yu always thought that the place of the decisive battle could only be on land, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be able to force the Sun-Liu coalition army to the lake and use the Chu army's expertise to go to the basic Sun-Liu coalition army!

"Why did the king say this, it really tormented Kong Ming! The king can now send one person to lead the soldiers in the army who are familiar with the water nature, sneak in from the negligent places of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and set up ambushes in various locations before they can march again! If it really dares to use the water attack plan, then it will be called a return! If it escapes above the lake, then our army can attack from both sides and defeat the Sun-Liu coalition army! Zhuge Liang didn't notice Xiang Yu who was already stunned, but continued to speak!

"Sir is truly a man of God! Mr. De, why worry about the injustice of the world! Xiang Yu was convinced of Zhuge Liang at this time.

Although he was known in history as the representative of the Yongzhan faction by later generations and the same name as Sun Wu and Han Xin of the war-seeking faction, he still had to obey Zhuge Liang's strategy! Xiang Yu finally understood at this time, why his historical self was killing himself in Wujiang! Although he also has a little strategy, he is really just a child in front of the war faction!

"Holy! Zhuge Kongming is really a demon! Not only can Sun Ce and Liu Bei be forced to go to Dongting Lake, but also use the way of others to govern their bodies! Xiang Yu said secretly in his heart.

"Hahaha, the king praises!" Zhuge smiled lightly.

"Good! That's what Mr. does! It's a pity that the sail thief is not here! can only let Xu Huang and Yu Ziqi lead troops to bypass Sun Liu's defense line and set up an ambush! Xiang Yu immediately said fiercely.

"Hmmm! However, when General Xu and General Yu marched in, the king had to send troops to feint on the defensive line of Sun-Liu's allied army to attract their attention! Such a big deal is also a certainty! ”

"Good!" Xiang Yu immediately clenched his fists and said.

This time, Sun Ce will be driven back to his hometown in one fell swoop and Changsha will be in his pocket!
