Wang Can said: "Sun Jian raised troops and brought 300,000 troops, and we have less than 100,000 soldiers in Jiujiang. Even though the soldiers are all fierce soldiers and elites, they are far from each other and will definitely be affected. The current task is to recruit troops and grain, prepare troops, grain and grass, and ensure that the number of troops fighting against Sun resolutely will not be less than 250,000, so that our army will be in an invincible position. ”

Xu Shu immediately said: "My lord, our army has two options for recruiting soldiers, one is to choose to travel long distances to recruit elite divisions from Yizhou and Liangzhou. This way of transferring troops takes too long, as short as a month, as long as several months, and when the army arrives in Jiangxia from the hinterland of Shu, the opportunity has been missed, and the war is about to end, which is obviously not advisable. ”

"Therefore, there is a second option, to transfer troops from various counties in Jingzhou."

"The lord has taken Jingzhou, and soldiers can be recruited from Nanyang County, Xiangyang County, Nan County, Changsha County, Lingling County, Jiangxia County and other counties. Even if each county provided only 30,000 soldiers, it would add up to at least 200,000 troops. Coupled with our own nearly 100,000 troops, and nearly 50,000 sailors, this is already 350,000 troops, more than Sun Jian's troops. ”

"With enough troops, it will not be difficult to fight Sun resolutely."

Xu Shu gave Wang Can a feasible suggestion and continued: "Sun Jian led an army of 300,000 from Wu County, the road was long, and the march would take at least half a month, or even a month later. During this time, the lord can drill the newly recruited soldiers, so that the soldiers can run in and strengthen their combat effectiveness. ”

Wang Can smiled and said with satisfaction: "The suggestion proposed by Yuan Zhi is feasible and more convenient. Transferring troops from the counties of Jingzhou, we don't need to transfer troops from Shuzhong. ”

Guo Jia continued; "My lord, grain and grass and military strength are the same thing, and you can also draw grain from Jingxiang counties. Liu Biao governed Jingzhou, and the counties of Jingxiang had not fought for many years, and although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was low, there were more and more grain and grass hoarded in the granaries of the counties. The grain and grass needed by the 350,000 army can be easily gathered, and there is no need to worry about the source of soldiers and grain and grass, the lord is waiting for Sun Jian to kill. ”

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and said; "We are waiting for Wang Can to kill, this is sitting and waiting to be killed, not good. The last general thought that he could take the initiative to attack, kill towards the territory of Wu, and attack the city and plunder the land. ”

Zhou Taiwen said angrily: "I agree with Xingba's opinion and continue to attack the city and plunder the land." ”

Lü Meng continued: "My lord, the last general also agrees with the opinion of Gandu Governor, and takes a few more cities. ”

Wei Yan said with his fists in his hands: "Lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard. ”

Many generals in the hall were restless, agreeing with Gan Ning's words, and they were all willing to lead the troops into battle, wanting to attack the city and plunder the land and expand the results of the battle.

Wang Can smiled and said, "Wen Chang, I haven't determined where to fight, where are you going to rush?" ”

Wei Yan scratched his head and said, "Wherever the lord's sword is pointing, the last general will kill it." ”

Wang Can said solemnly: "Which position to attack is very particular and must be carefully considered. Wenhe, Fengxiao, and Yuanzhi stayed behind, and the rest of the people dispersed, and Haosheng trained the soldiers and prepared to fight again. ”

"No!"

The generals responded in unison, and they all turned and left the hall.

When everyone left, Wang Can shouted, "Come on, bring the map." ”

A moment later, a soldier brought in the map and placed it on Wang Can's desk. Wang Can made a gesture and said, "The three of you come up to take a look, how to fight next?" ”

Jia Xu sat still, and Guo Jia and Xu Shu stepped forward to watch.

Wang Can saw Jia Xu sitting maverickly and asked, "Wenhe, do you already have a countermeasure in mind?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Back to the lord, during the period when the minister stayed in the navy, he looked at the map every day, and he had already memorized the map of Jingzhou and Wu in his chest, and he didn't need to look at the map again." ”

Wang Can clapped his hands and smiled: "Since Wen He is well aware of the terrain distribution around Jiangxia, he must have a plan for the next battle." Wenhe, tell me about your plan. ”

Guo Jia and Xu Shu raised their heads and glanced at Jia Xu.

Immediately, the two returned to their seats and waited for Jia Xu to speak.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, Sun Jian took the initiative to fight with the lord, this is a good opportunity given by God to the lord to determine the kingdom of Wu. Sun Jian led the army to kill, and the lord set up a position as soon as possible, laid out a pocket, let Sun Jian drill into it, and then killed Sun Jian. ”

Wang Can asked, "How to arrange it?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The geographical location of Jiujiang is very important, close to Poyang Lake, and between Lujiang County and Yuzhang County...... Once Sun Jian is defeated, there will be no way to escape. When the time comes, the lord will destroy Sun Jian, and the destruction of the Wu State will not be far off. ”

Xu Shu said: "Master Jia, the plan is good, but it is not easy to implement!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Things are man-made, as long as you are willing to ponder, you will be able to succeed." ”

Guo Jia thought about it carefully for a while, and said, "I think Wenhe's plan is feasible, you can give it a try." Our war with Sun Jian will inevitably lead to a series of changes. Since the beginning of the war, the situation has been chaotic, so we have taken the opportunity to plan and fish in troubled waters. ”

Xu Shu asked, "Brother Fengxiao, what are you going to do?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "At present, there is only a rough outline, there is no clear arrangement, and it is not too late to arrange it before the main force of the lord and Sun Jian's main force fight." ”

Wang Can didn't ask, and said: "It's good to have a strategy, so that you won't lose your proportion." ”

……

In the north, Cao Cao had already beaten the Yuan clan beyond resistance.

In the past, Yuan Shao occupied Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and occupied the four major states, with strong strength and crisscrossing the north. At this time, the Yuan family was left with only a handful of places in Bingzhou and Youzhou, and the rest of the places were encroached upon by Cao Cao. The strength of the Yuan family is declining day by day, and it is about to be swallowed up by Cao Cao.

On the contrary, Cao Cao's strength became stronger and stronger.

Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei.

In the main hall, Cao Cao sat on the top, and below were Sima Yi, Sima Lang, Liu Ye, Chen Qun, Man Chong and other resourceful people. Cao Cao looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Wang Can and Sun Jian are about to have a decisive battle, Sun Jian has sent an envoy to ask us to send troops to feint to attack the north of Shu and contain part of the Shu army, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ye said: "The most important thing for our army at the moment is to get rid of the Yuan clan, which is the most important and unshakable. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Destroying Yuan is the top priority, and I can tell the difference." ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Since Sun Jian asked for a feint, our army will feint." The lord only needs to send a small force, pretending to be tens of thousands of troops, to attack the eastern capital Luoyang with great momentum, which will naturally attract Huang Zhong's attention. In this way, we can easily complete Sun Jian's request, and we will not delay the war situation in the north, so why not? ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Zhongda is exactly the same as Gu Xiang, Gu is planning so. Cao Cao replied to Sun Jian's envoys, agreeing to make a feint to attack the territory north of Shu and contain the Shu army.

……

In Jiaozhou, Sun Jian's envoys arrived at the house of Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie.

After entering the palace, the envoy met with Shixie and expressed his intention.

The Shixie people were old and refined, and they did not immediately agree, but placed Sun Jian's envoys down. Shi Xie himself is the Taishou of Jiaozhi County and has a lot of power, and the Shi family has lived in Jiaozhou for a long time, and he is a big family in Jiaozhou. After the chaos in the world, the strength of the Shi family expanded dramatically and became a hegemon in Jiaozhou, because it was located in a remote area and did not have the princes to care, so it was able to be in a corner of peace.

Sun Jian's envoys came and broke the situation.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Shi Xie summoned the heirs of the family to discuss the matter in the hall.

Shi Xie was wearing a black robe, wearing an ancient crown, and sat upright. He was in his early sixties, quite old, but his sparse silver comb was meticulously combed, not a little messy.

Below the hall are Shi Xie's sons Shi Diao, Shi Yuan, Shi Hui, Shi Gan and others.

Shi Xie said slowly: "Now the king of Shu and the king of Wu are fighting, and the king of Wu has asked us to send troops to attack Jingnan and contain Wang Can's forces. What do you think, just speak freely. ”

Shi Xiao said: "Daddy, the King of Shu and the King of Wu are both behemoths, and they must not be offended. ”

Shi Xie nodded and said, "I think so too, that's why I convened you to discuss how to deal with this matter." ”

Shi Yuan thought about it carefully, and said: "Daddy, the king of Shu and the king of Wu are fighting, it is two tigers fighting, we are involved, and we are likely to be hit hard." The king of Shu and the king of Wu are both tigers, and neither can be offended, the child suggests that you agree to the request of Sun Jian's envoy, but do not send troops for the time being, and remain neutral, so that you will neither offend the king of Wu nor the king of Shu. ”

Shihui said: "I agree with my brother's opinion, and I promised King Wu not to send troops for the time being." ”

Shi Xie looked around at everyone and said, "You all agree with Shi Yuan's opinion, and the matter is settled. As a father, he agreed to Sun Jian's envoys, but did not agree on the date of sending troops, delayed time, and remained neutral. ”

With a few words, the policy of the Shi family was set.
