Chapter 102: Strategic Locations

And Nanjun is no longer in the hands of Sun Quan, Hefei and Jingzhou isolated Jiangxia's soldiers to death, which is equivalent to replenishing the troops of others, and others occupying it, it is like a steel knife nailed to his lower waist, although he will not die, but it will be so painful that he does not even have the strength to fight back. Liu Da'er is a scoundrel, he has the capital, and the capital is Jiangxia.

The Battle of Chibi, although it was mainly fought by Sun Quan's army against Cao, but what was this Liu who was known as the Sun-Liu coalition army doing? Liu can be said to be the most sober and calm period in his life at this time, staring at Cao Cao's supply line with two eyes, predicting Cao Cao's attack and retreat route like a mouse, and preparing to poke Cao Cao's eye anytime and anywhere.

Although Cao Cao claims to be 800,000, in fact, the pressure Liu Bei gave him in Jiangxia is unbearable, and he can't wait to gather all his forces to attack Liu Bei, the damned Jiangxia, but Sun Quan still has a big sea wolf waiting for you to transfer the Yangtze River defense line. It's getting colder. I don't know that God actually played a huge joke on Cao Cao, Cao Cao just connected the warships and wanted to form an aircraft carrier formation.

However, at that time, the level of shipbuilding was not up to the level of building aircraft carriers, and people probably thought that iron things could not float on the water, so everyone chose the idea of building ships with wood, or how to say that Zhou Yu was amazing. This is not a cover, just such a little fighter was caught by him, and a fire has achieved a rich era of the Three Kingdoms.

In the face of Cao Cao's collapse on the Yangtze River, Liu Bei had only one thing to do, that is, to capture prisoners all over the mountains and expand his troops, at this time Liu Bei went out of Jiangxia to attack Cao Cao's flank, with Guan Yu as the front to quickly defeat Zhang Liao's defense line, and a knife went straight into Cao Cao's headquarters, but due to the rugged mountain road after the heavy rain, Cao Cao had been taken to Jiangling by Cao Ren when Guan Yu's army arrived in Huarong.

So there will be no righteous interpretation of Cao Cao at all. But Liu Bei received a large number of personnel and materials, and expanded his forces to a force strong enough to sweep Jing Xiang. Choosing to retreat to Xiangyang may face the house of destruction, but choosing Jiangxia to let Liu Bei turn over, such a choice is enough even if it is only once in a lifetime.

On the other hand, Sun Quan, due to the restriction of supplies across the river, and the lack of a solid foundation in Jingzhou, coupled with the elongation, has already produced Sun Quan's ability to bear the country. In this way, I had to watch Liu Bei pick up this big bargain.

The Battle of Chibi is like this, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou actually has a lot to do with Jiangxia!

Due to Liu Bei's capture of Xichuan, Guan Yu had to independently assume the military pressure of ensuring Liu Bei's eastern line and Cao Cao's northern line. In order to keep the troops in the local shock to the enemy, then it is necessary to compress the defensive line, concentrate the troops, use the Xiangfan area as the strategic front line, and use the four counties of Changsha as the backup support, but ah. Reality is the answer to a person's words, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Sun Quan is really not very good, at this time, he came to dismantle the platform of the old man, and took three of the four counties, which did not let people pull alive, Guan Yu was about to be pants in the front of the war, Sun Quan still felt that he did not earn enough to put the abacus in the hands of his allies, just like Lao Mei, making a lot of war money, but you Sun Quan is not Lao Mei, and the matter of demolishing Taiwan is not once or twice, maybe you are used to it.

For Guan Yu, Liu Cong has always maintained an objective attitude, in order to deal with the fact that the three counties were meloned, all he could do was to shrink his troops, so Jiangxia was hired to gain a foothold in this special period, Cao Cao may have had a premonition at this time, Guan Yu is finished, and the reason why he can give Cao Cao such a premonition is very simple, that is, Jiangxia is mine.

In this way, Cao Cao's grand strategic in-depth zigzag defense system has been formed, and the fact that Wei has unified the whole country has been determined from here, but it is not absolute, and this system can also be broken, that is, the Shu army occupied Chang'an, entered Luoyang, and formed a powerful attack corps in the rear defense of Wei, but Wei Yan's strategic idea of attacking Chang'an Zhuge Liang was denied, so this defense system of Wei can be called invincible.

So Guan Yu is life is hard, the focus of defense that originally had only one line of defense has suddenly become a multi-line defense, and it is a taboo for soldiers. As for the later flooding of the Seventh Army, it can be regarded as Guan Yu's final outbreak, of course, this is also the embodiment of his ability, a genius forms a powerful attack on the enemy, but it is a fool to make strategic cooperation for the genius, and it is a bunch of fools, no matter how powerful Guan Yu fights, he will be dragged to death, if, there is such a general, who can ensure Guan Yu's flanks and keep Jiang Xia!

Not to mention that one Xu Huang is ten, it is difficult to resist Guan Yu's offensive. There are many such examples, both positive and negative, and the positive one is Li Guang, he is dedicated to other geniuses as the main master of flank protection and strategic feints, without him, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing is difficult to achieve the world's achievements. On the other hand, Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty said that no one cooperated with him in the defeat of Dafeichuan, and the deputy general Guo Shifeng didn't know why he didn't take the war seriously, and the result of battlefield disobedience made Xue's elite troops isolated in the enemy's depth, which finally led to a big defeat.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has basically lost its obvious military advantage, just looking at a generation of famous generals, there is no one who has the ability to cooperate with the general, this can explain the problem. Guan Yu's situation is actually the same as Xue Rengui's, maybe when Xu Huang called, he began to miss his second brother, began to miss Huang Zhong who was unwilling to be a veteran, and began to miss Wei Yan, who had grown a lot of bones in the back of his head, if one of them was in Jiangxia......

The Battle of Hefei, this is Sun Quan's second challenge to Cao Cao's defense system after Guan Yu, no matter how you Gan Ning is, no matter how you Zhou Tai is, it is Cao Cao who laughs at the end, Zhang Liao fights in front, at this time, the strategic space of Wen Ping is wide, I didn't say it, Zhang Liao, you fight, I will ensure the safety of your flanks, I can cooperate with you, I can do it. In this way, Sun Quan also can't change the wheel of history.

A general Wen Ping occupied Jiangxia, forming a peak flank, a Cao Ren Guan Yu can't do anything, a Zhang Liao, Sun Quanju all the troops can't do anything, this is the strategic system has played a role, it can be seen that in the near future, Liu Cong envisioned the west to occupy Yizhou, and then annexed Jiangdong, and then divided the river and ruled until the unification of China, Jiangxia is absolutely indispensable to this fulcrum.

Such a strategic place, and connected to Nanjun from end to end, Liu Cong naturally pays attention to it at all times. Moreover, in Liu Cong's heart, there is also a pinzig-shaped defense system, in this system, Jiangxia is still the tip of the pinzi, with Xiangyang and Changsha on both sides, Xiangyang is concentrating on defending against Cao Cao, and Changsha is against Sun Quan. Defend solidly, then move west to Yizhou. This Cao Cao's strategy has the same effect, and if it is applied well, it can really help Liu Cong to seize the world.

When Liu Cong told Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping about his strategic defense system, both of them nodded in approval. After receiving the approval, Liu Cong proposed a plan for the exercise, which was to arrange it every three to five months, assuming that Jiangxia was attacked and Nanjun sent troops to rescue. During the exercise, the soldiers of Nanjun were required to advance by land and water, but considering their respective defense areas, Liu Cong did not cross the line often, and usually returned in Jiayu and other places.

Although there was no real enemy in such an exercise, Liu Cong's troops' marching ability was greatly strengthened, especially in the transmission of orders and the coordination of various arms in formation. According to Liu Cong's plan, by the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Liu Cong should be able to train an elite army of more than 30,000 people. Once Jiangxia and Xiangyang have something, they can quickly rush to help.

Just when Liu Cong thought that everything was on the right track and his small boat was going smoothly, something really happened suddenly.

On the fifth day of the third month of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Liu Cong led his troops to return after the Yangtze River exercise. As soon as the sky was bright, Liu Cong was woken up.

"Lord, Jiang Xia is here to make an urgent report!"

"Messenger come in!" As soon as Liu Cong heard that there was something wrong with Jiangxia, he was not dressed neatly, so he hurriedly summoned the envoy. When the messenger arrived at this time, it must have been a non-stop departure in the middle of the night, and Liu Cong naturally knew the urgency of the matter.

"Second son, please save Lord Huang Zu and save Jiang Xia!" When the envoy saw Liu Cong, he even forgot the basic etiquette, knelt on the ground and asked Liu Cong to save people.
