Chapter 444: Harm outweighs benefit

Jingzhou, Jiangxia County

"The warships of the Wu State have entered Jiangxia, and the soldiers have landed near Qi County and stationed in Xiazhai there. However, there are spies who report that there are traces of Wu army's actions near Exian, and according to the path, it should be to attack Shaxian. Ma Jian reported on the current military situation in Jiangxia.

The generals listened to it and pondered the other party's intentions.

Kong Ming was not in a hurry to say the other party's intentions, waiting for the conclusion of the generals.

"I see." Yang Yi spoke first.

Kong Ming smiled, "What does Wei Gong think?" ”

Yang Yi: "This time, Lu Xun, the governor of Wu State, personally led the troops, and now what I see is that his strength is far beyond the imagination of our army. There were nearly 100 warships and more than 1,000 warships. This kind of force is definitely not as simple as intentioning Jiangxia. ”

Kong Ming smiled and asked, "So what does Wei Gong think?" ”

Yang Yi said: "The enemy army is in the Buming army in Qi County, and the dark army is in Exian County, but in fact, we think that it is a sound to attack the east and the west, and we will transfer troops to the road of Shaxian to block it." And this sound is not the same as the west. ”

Yang Yi pointed to the map, scribbled down from Jiangxia County, and pointed to Changsha County.

"The enemy's surface waterway march to attack Jiangxia is intended to be Changsha County by land. Changsha County is close to the territory of Wu State, so it can be supported by grain and grass, and soldiers can assist, and now Changsha County is not much guarded, if it is defending the enemy. Our army must send troops to cross the river, and the Wu army can be blocked on the river, but at that time it is too late to save and defend it, and Changsha County is lost. ”

Deng Zhi: "If this is the case, they can use Changsha County as a base to take the west of Jingzhou across the river." Yizhou was connected to Jingzhou, and half of it was in the west of Jingzhou, and the situation was very bad at that time. ”

Ma Yan said: "This is the first step of Lu Xun's strategy to destroy our country. ”

When the generals heard this, their hearts were cold, and they asked the prime minister to make a quick decision.

"Prime Minister, please order! Quickly move troops across the river and take advantage of the enemy's defense on the river before they have set up defenses! "The ministers will ask for their lives.

Kong Ming chuckled: "Everyone is relieved, I have already ordered General Zhang He to cross the river, and Changsha has already sent Xu Shu to guard it, with these two people, they can hold the city and county." ”

Yang Yi heard that Zhang He was going to guard such an important place, so she asked for help: "Teacher, I can go to Changsha to help!" ”

Kong Ming looked at him, naturally understanding what he was thinking, "Wei Gong, the matter of our army's reserve needs to be planned and responsible for it, and it will be handed over to others, so don't worry about it." Thou shalt stay here, and thou shalt not go far. ”

Yang Yi's request was denied, and she had no choice but to obey. "Yes."

Changsha County, Changsha City

"The main army of the Wu Kingdom came to Changsha, really?" Xu Shu asked Zhang He in front of him.

Zhang He: "This is the prime minister's words, the prime minister's clever calculation, he said yes, it must be." ”

Xu Shu: "If Kong Ming says it, then he will come back." "Xu Shu has a plan in his heart, what the enemy is doing like this means that he will start a full-scale war with our army, and this kind of war will do more harm than good to both armies, regardless of victory or defeat." What is the general's response? ”

Before Zhang Helai came, he had already analyzed the situation he would face, and then stated the meaning in his heart, "Wu Guobing is stationed in Jiangxia, so the army is captured from Jiangxia County, and it should be able to take two roads, all the way to Changsha City under the water of Hunan Province, and the march by water is fast, and there is no army to stop." There is also a road from Xiajun to the land, capture the cities, sweep away the troubles for the waterway army, and finally join the navy outside Changsha. ”

"Now the strength of the Wu army is unknown, and I don't know how many of them are. However, the soldiers and the defenders of Changsha that I brought with me should be able to withstand for some time, and as for who will win, it depends on the creation. ”

Zhang He thought a lot, but he was not sure of victory.

Above the Hunan River, several warships and hundreds of small boats entered Changsha County.

Its momentum is blatant, and even if Liu Bing on the shore sees it, he can't do anything. I had to report it to the defenders.

Wu Jiang Qin stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the soldiers staring at the people on the shore, and said: "The Jiangdong Navy is like this, knowing its advance, but it is powerless to stop it. ”

"So what? Jingzhou is still Shu Han's. Gan Ning, who was standing behind, sarcastically.

Jiang Qin: "Why should Xingba be like this, now most of the governors are planning here, and hundreds of thousands of troops of our country have entered here, and they will be captured this time." ”

Gan Ning's face was serious, "It's difficult, although the strategy of the metropolitan governor is set, but the enemy Zhuge Liang is said to be extremely scheming." In this battle, even if Jingzhou was captured, it was a defeat for both sides. At this time, the Wei State was afraid of taking advantage of the situation. ”

Jiang Qin smiled, "This is a common thing, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover it." Hasn't it been like this all these years? ”

"That's why we haven't completely captured Jingzhou." Gan Ning muttered.

Jiang Qin listened to the other party's words, seemed to have intentions, and asked: "That Xingba thinks, how can we take it." ”

"I don't know about this, but most of the governors know about it." Gan Ning had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say much unless he decided for himself.

Jiangxia County, Qi County

Wu brought Zhu Ran back from his inspection along the river and came to see Lu Xun.

"In the Jiangxia area, there is no movement on the river. And they have sent their brothers into the depths, occupied the key points, and laid down defenses. If they want to cross the river, they can only cross the river in Nanjun, and Jiangxia has our defense, and we must fight on the water. Our army is not afraid of water warfare and can win it. Zhu Ran said.

When Lu Xun heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, "The enemy army has not made any movement on the river?" ”

Zhu Ran: "Yes." ”

"Then it should have crossed the river and descended to Changsha." Lu Xun said.

Zhu Ran: "Won't it?" How fast are they? Or did we already guess what we were planning when we first entered? ”

Lu Xun said: "I should have guessed it." Saying this, he sighed, "It seems that it is difficult to win the battle in Jingzhou this time." ”

Zhu Ran asked: "Our army's strategy has been known, they must be prepared, if it is a strong battle, the two armies will definitely die miserably, if so, it will definitely be benefited by the Wei State." Now that Wei has fought two wars in the east and west, one after another, and the losses are heavy, it should be a good time for our two countries. And now Wu is at war with Shu Han, giving Wei a chance to breathe......"

"Yifeng, that's a good point, it's really not a clear policy." Lu Xun praised.

Zhu Ran: "Governor, do you want to retire?" ”

"How is it possible to quit the army? My army left the country, and the army fought against each other, so I felt that it was unfavorable and retreated, and when I went back, how did I explain to Your Majesty. Lu Xun smiled bitterly.

Zhu Ran said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I will not blame you." ”

Lu Xun: "Yifeng, my identity is different, and what I do is watched by the whole country." ”

Zhu Ran immediately understood the deep meaning.

"But I have a plan." Lu Xun thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Go back to China with the book and summon Zhuge Jin!" ”

Jiangxia City

Kong Ming was safe in the city, and arranged military defenses everywhere, and there was no intention of sending troops to attack.

Ma Tan came to find, "Teacher, I am willing to lead the vanguard, strike first, win first, and win first, so as to gain momentum!" ”

Kong Ming: "I often have a heart, don't be in a hurry." Just keep it. ”

Ma Tan asked worriedly and suspiciously, "The next battle must be a tragic situation. Although the Wu army is now armed, it must not be ready, and it is our army that has the first opportunity. Teacher, why is it safe now? ”

Kong Ming smiled and said: "This battle will not be fought in the end. Lu Boyan is very smart and knows the stakes. I'm waiting, waiting for Wu Guo to beckon. ”
