As for accepting the war letter and fighting a decisive battle with the Wu army tomorrow, almost all the people of the three families agreed on this.

For Wang Zongshou and other generals of the Shu army, they were full of confidence in the next battle, and naturally they gladly accepted the battle letter.

As for Gao Jichang, not to mention that this person's opinion is the least valued among the three, even if he is asked to make a decision, he will choose to accept the battle letter.

After all, the coalition army was stationed outside Jiangling City, and Gao Jichang, as the lord of Jiangling, also needed to provide a certain amount of money and food supplies for the coalition army.

And the coalition army of the three families is as many as 100,000 people, how can they afford to supply it for a long time with the little money and grain reserves in Gangneung? Naturally, I hope that the sooner the decisive battle, the better.

As for the remaining Liang army, Kou Yanqing and Liu Yan are also desperate for tomorrow's decisive battle.

News from Luoyang, I heard that Zhu Wen's condition is getting worse and he may die at any time.

If something really goes wrong with Zhu Wen one day, the question of the succession to the throne will inevitably become the most important thing in the Liang court, and it may even cause civil strife in the Liang State.

At that time, their army, which was far away in Gangneung, was afraid that it would be forgotten by the bigwigs in the court; Even in the face of the turmoil, the logistical supply of their army may not be guaranteed.

And once even the rear is not stable, and even the supply is problematic, the Liang army will inevitably have no fighting spirit, how can it be possible to break the enemy?

So being able to fight the enemy at this time is exactly what the two of them can't ask for.

In this way, whether it is the Liang army, the Shu army, or Gao Jichang, these three forces agree to fight tomorrow.

This means that the next day there will be a decisive battle with nearly 200,000 people!

Soon, Wang Zongshou and other generals of the Shu army and Gao Jichang and other generals of the Jingnan army visited together and began to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's decisive battle.

"In tomorrow's battle, our army will defend with all its might in order to contain the main force of the enemy; As for the heavy task of breaking the enemy, it will be handed over to the Shu army to complete! After the generals sat down, Liu Jun took the lead in speaking as a representative of Liang Jun.

Zhao Ben's face immediately changed and said, "Defense? How can defense alone contain the enemy's main force? In the next thought, in addition to doing a good job of defense, the Liang army and the Jingnan army should also launch an offensive at the appropriate time to better contain the Wu army. Gao Jieshuai, I don't know what you think? ”

Gao Jichang's face sank, and the anger in his heart flashed.

This Zhao Ben was just a close subordinate general by Wang Zongshou's side, and he dared to rely on Wang Zongshou's power to speak to him with a condescending attitude, which naturally made him feel embarrassed.

However, Gao Jichang is Gao Jichang after all, and for the needs of the situation, he endured all the more unbearable things, not to mention the little unhappiness at the moment.

Therefore, Gao Jichang laughed and said: "What General Zhao said is very true, my Jingnan army will definitely launch an attack on the enemy army tomorrow to better contain the main force of the Wu army; However, Ben Shuai also hopes that the Shu army will be able to break through the enemy's left flank as soon as possible tomorrow, and will not procrastinate, deliberately delaying time. ”

Kou Yanqing thought for a while, and also nodded: "If we want our army to launch an attack on the enemy at the right time, the Shu army must launch an attack on the enemy's left flank after the start of the big battle and make a breakthrough as quickly as possible." ”

Liu Yan said indifferently: "Yes, if the Shu army can't do this, just thinking about letting our army resist the Wu army, then tomorrow it will be okay if we don't fight!" ”

Wang Zongshou glanced at the two of them with some surprise, and saw that their expressions were firm, obviously determined, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Why do the two generals do this? Now that your two armies are facing the pressure of the Wu army, it is precisely when they need to unite sincerely, how can they be unhappy because of this? In tomorrow's battle, as long as it can be determined that the enemy army is targeting the Liang army, then our army will send troops to attack the left flank of the Wu army! ”

Kou Yanqing and the others got Wang Zongshou's guarantee, so their faces looked better.

What they were worried about was that the Shu army deliberately borrowed the hand of the Wu army to weaken them, and even worried that the Shu army had secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Wu army.

But now it seems that they may have been a little worried.

The Shu army may have intended to weaken them with the help of the Wu army, but they should not have reached any agreement with the Wu army; At the same time, the purpose of the Shu army to send troops to Jiangling has not changed, and they still want to prevent the Wu army from occupying Jiangling.

After having this preliminary judgment, Kou Yanqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Kou Yanqing continued: "Since it is judged that the enemy army will take our army as the main offensive target, then our army will definitely focus on defense at that time; The Shu army is mainly offensive, which everyone must agree with, right? ”

The generals nodded silently, but Zhang Wu stood up and said, "What if the enemy army does not take the Liang army as the primary target, but our army as the primary target of attack?" ”

The generals were shocked, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"General Zhang is too worried, King Wu wants to occupy the entire Jingxiang, he does not take the Liang army as the primary goal, can it be said that the Wu army does not want to occupy Xiangzhou, but wants to attack Shuzhong?" A general asked with a smile.

Another general of the Jingnan Army said: "General Zhang is cautious, and it is normal for him to think of so much. However, Ben Jiang felt that if he still had to think about the possibility that the enemy army would not take the Liang army as the primary target at this time, it would not be cautious, but cowardly! ”

"You!" Zhang Wu was furious, and immediately wanted to refute it.

Seeing this, Wang Zongshou hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, it's better not to quarrel at this time." The big war is coming, and it's not good to hurt the harmony for a little thing! ”

Zhang Wu had no choice but to glance at the general just now hatefully, turned around and sat down and stopped talking.

Kou Yanqing pondered for a moment before saying, "Although General Zhang is a little cautious, the point he put forward is not unreasonable, at least we can't rule out this possibility." ”

Wang Zongshou asked with a smile, "I don't know what General Kou's plans are?" ”

"Ben Jiang thinks that tomorrow, before the start of the war, we will not be busy making a decision, and wait for the Wu army to attack first. If the Wu army launched a fierce offensive against our army at the beginning, then the enemy's intentions could basically be determined. ”

Kou Yanqing's suggestion was actually similar to what he didn't say, because even if the Wu army was allowed to attack first, it could not be concluded that the Wu army was targeting the Liang army as its primary target.

However, in addition, Kou Yanqing and the others had no better way to judge the intentions of the enemy army.

So in the end, the generals had no choice but to accept Kou Yanqing's suggestion.

After discussing the strategy of using troops, in terms of troops, the coalition forces did not have any good planning.

Because the coalition army is composed of three forces, the commanders of the three forces can only command the forces under their own command, but it is difficult to command the forces of the other two forces.

In this way, the force of the coalition side is very clear, the left flank is composed of the Liang army and the Jingnan army, and the right flank is held by the Shu army.

With such a clear subordinate, the forces are relatively balanced, but it is also easy for Wu Jun to guess their subordinates.

This is also a weakness of the coalition forces relative to the Wu army.

The Wu army was able to guess the deployment of the coalition forces, but the coalition forces were difficult to guess the deployment of the Wu army.

In this way, the situation on the battlefield is equivalent to unilateral transparency to the Wu army, which is naturally not a good thing for the coalition forces.

It's a pity that even if they knew that Wu Jun would guess the deployment of their own troops, Kou Yanqing, Wang Zongshou and others had no intention of changing it.

After all, none of them were willing to hand over their soldiers to each other's command.

This is not only a matter of prestige for the two armies, but more importantly, they are both worried that if the other side commands their own armies, will the other side deliberately send their own troops to die?

It may be that the things that are obviously sent to death will not be done, but those dangerous things will be done by others, it is certain.

After having this concern, although Kou Yanqing and Wang Zongshou understood that Wu Jun would guess the deployment of their troops, the two of them had a tacit understanding and had no intention of mentioning this matter at all.

After discussing the general arrangement, Kou Yanqing suddenly spoke up again: "General Gao, I heard that there are still 10,000 defenders in Jiangling City?" ”

Gao Jichang felt a pang in his heart, but this matter couldn't be hidden, so although he had a bad premonition in his heart, he had no choice but to nod and respond: "Yes, I don't know what General Kou has planned?" ”

Kou Yanqing smiled and said: "In fact, with the current situation, the enemy and our armies are facing each other here, and it doesn't take 10,000 troops to defend Jiangling at all. ”

Wang Zongshou on the side listened to it and immediately continued: "Yes, what General Kou said is extremely true, now that the decisive battle between the enemy and us is imminent, one more troops, one more chance of winning." Therefore, this king thinks that General Gao should not hide it at this time, and transfer as many troops as possible! ”

Gao Jichang's face darkened, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart.

However, on the bright side, in the face of the coercion of Kou Yanqing and Wang Zongshou, he really didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"Two Mingjian, although I still have 10,000 troops in Jiangling City, the two of you must also know that many of these 10,000 people are injured and sick, and if you get rid of the necessary remaining troops, there are not many troops that can really be used." Gao Jichang said with a flattering face.

If you don't know his identity, outsiders really can't believe that the person in front of you is Gao Jichang, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu.

However, for Gao Jichang, if he can preserve his strength, even if he has no face and no skin, it is nothing.

Seeing that Kou Yanqing and the others were still a little dissatisfied, he immediately added: "Two, in fact, it is a good thing to put those 10,000 defenders in the city!" In tomorrow's battle, if the enemy army is defenseless, and the 10,000 defenders are killed at a critical time, wouldn't it be more effective than putting it on the surface? ”

Kou Yanqing and the others originally only mentioned this, but after listening to Gao Jichang's words, they also felt that maybe it was indeed a better choice to leave those 10,000 people in the city.

So after hesitating for a while, the two finally agreed with Gao Jichang's statement. 10
