(It was Deng Ai who smuggled Yinping, Xiao Zhuge was confused, thank you Brother R for pointing it out.) ）

After some careful discussion with Xi Zhicai and the Heavenly Wolf, Liu Yi temporarily gave up the plan of smuggling through Yinping at the same time as the Battle of Jingxiang and launching an attack on Cao Jun on both fronts, more out of timing considerations rather than surprise attacks, and not practical, good steel is used on the blade, and this killer weapon Liu Yi will save until he can defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop before using it. As soon as the discussion about this war ended, the Son of Heaven personally wrote a book affirming the proposals of the people on the front line, and handed over the decision of the battlefield to Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia.

At the same time, Liu Yi also passed the results of the all-night discussion to Zhang Hu in Hanzhong, the reason is the same as the former, Zhang Zicai and Wen Yuanjun and other generals are the most aware of the enemy situation in person, and it cannot be ruled out that they can use this method after collective negotiation, and Liu Yi will not blindly insist on his own ideas, he has always trusted these talents under his command, and they have also repaid this trust with their performance for more than ten years.

On September 23 of the first year of the Han Dynasty, when the northern states were about to enter the autumn harvest, the Han army Jingxiang Front Army led by Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and Jia Xu launched a huge fierce march on the last two counties in the north of Jingzhou, Jiangling and Xiangyang, and within three days, Xu Huanglong's army and Lianke three counties had already arrived at Xiangyang City, and Tai Shici's Beiping Army pointed directly at Jiangling City, and the action of the four battalions of the Iron Cavalry Battalion was even more rapid, and their penetration was deep and powerful under sufficient logistical support. Wen Chou's heavy cavalry battalion and Fan Chou's Bingzhou battalion were responsible for clearing the periphery of Xiangyang and monitoring the movements of Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry at any time, while Yan Gang's White Horse Battalion and Huaxiong's Xiliang Battalion took the initiative to attack Sun Ce's Jingnan Army while ensuring the safety of the Beiping Army's flank.

Bargaining is a common means of negotiation in the commercial field, and the same is true in the military field, the basis of which is of course the needs and strength of both sides, Liu Yun's initial contact with Sun Ce was not smooth, and Liu Yi was not in much of a mood to do more entanglement with him, perhaps when the Flying Tiger Army had not yet occupied the absolute control of the Yangtze River waterway, the Han Army did not have a very good way to take Sun Ce's four counties in Jingnan, and the existence of the Jiangdong Navy would become their biggest obstacle. But this by no means includes Sun Cebu's army in Jiangling, and the Han army wants to use its strength to make the other party's counteroffer rely less and less.

In this way, the Jingnan army of the little overlord immediately felt a completely different pressure from the previous one in the confrontation with the Han army, and Sun Ce, who knew that the elite of the other party's strange soldiers, would not fight with Yan Gang and Fan Chou head-on, but the bold penetration and continuous harassment of the enemy army made him aware of the severity of the situation, and the interspersed with the state camp faintly had the intention of cutting off his way back to Jingnan, and the harassment of the White Horse Battalion with its tacit understanding made him not dare to wave the army to retreat south for a while. Once the Cao army in Jiangling could not stop Tai Shici's offensive and the city was broken, Sun Ce believed that the next iron fist of the Han army would definitely smash on his head, and the negotiation could not be successful, Liu Yi's hand was indeed resolute and tough.

If there is no previous battle of Yanzhou and the battle of Nanyang, Sun Ce will definitely stick to the camp and watch the victory and defeat of Liu Cao and the two before making a decision. The offensive and defensive battles in Keleping, Lu Guo, Nanyang and other places made him dare not hold this point of view anymore, the Yan army's ability to attack the fortified positions and the tactical literacy in the siege warfare have exceeded his cognition, and the opponent's continuous battle is as strong as Hong, and Cao's army is retreating step by step to defend Jiangling City, which can not give him too much confidence.

On that day, the little overlord who retreated from Yiyang had a plan to withdraw to Jiangnan at any time if something was not good, so the Jingnan Army Dazhai was only dozens of miles away from the riverbank, if he didn't have the full strength to lose his strength, even if the two battalions of Baima and Zhou intercepted together, they might not be able to cut off the retreat, but the Yan army Longxiang army attacked Xiangyang, and the Beiping army attacked Jiangling, but the main force of the Yellow Shirt Army that established meritorious service in the battle of Nanyang was lost after the battle of Qingxian, and the distance alone could not completely rule out the possibility that he had come to the vicinity of his Dazhai. With this strong army joining Sun Ce, he didn't dare to ensure that he was safe.

From the analysis of the current situation, it is not very likely that Zhang Yan will come from afar, but as the commander of the first army, he must not take it lightly, Zhao Zilong, a veteran of the battlefield, and Guo Jiajiaxu all have a plan to get into the gods, and the transfer of the Yan army is difficult to deal with with common sense. Once he makes a mistake in judgment, the ending may be 70,000 Jingnan elites buried here, and now Sun Ce can't afford to pay this price, and thinking of these little overlords for the first time in their hearts, they regretted that they sent troops to help Cao Jun, of course, this emotion is only a moment, once Jingzhou Jiangbei falls into the hands of the other party, it will be difficult for him to compete with Liu Yi, and now there is Liu Bei blocking Gan Ning's Flying Tiger Army for himself, but the huge gap in manpower and material resources determines that the growth rate of the opponent's strength will be far better than his own, Could it be that the situation is really irreversible, and there is only one way for me to negotiate with Liu Yun again?

No matter how Sun Ce was worried about the Han army's offensive in Jingxiang because of the complicated strategic situation, but it was not delayed at all, Xu Huangtai and Shi Ci had already begun to attack the two Xiongcheng cities of Xiangyang and Jiangling, and in the initial stage, the siege of the second army of Longxiang and Beiping was to concentrate on breaking through one point, and the deployment of the two main forces alone could not meet the requirements of attacking from all sides, and putting all the advantages in one place to break out was also the most successful tactic that the Han army could use at the moment. The Suzaku Battalion cooperates with each army's equipment battalion to attack the city alone, and while attacking the city alone, the power of infantry and artillery coordination can be maximized.

The Han army launched a full-scale offensive in Jingxiang, and the main force led by Zhang Hu in Hanzhong also immediately gave strong cooperation, and the attack on this Xiongguan by the entire army did not stop after driving the Cao army back to Jiameng Pass. Zhang Zicai's strategy is to use equipment as the main manpower as a supplement, he doesn't want to eat this level in one bite but always has to maintain huge pressure on Cao Jun, and at the same time to reduce the casualties of his own troops, the strategy of the Son of Heaven is very obvious, consumption! Use attrition to speed up the collapse of enemy armies!

Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's conception of the battle of Jingxiang and the handwriting of the Son of Heaven arrived in Hanzhong at almost the same time, Zhang Hu also immediately convened the generals to discuss the method of war, and everyone agreed on the battle with their comrades on the Jingxiang side, even if they paid heavy casualties, they must ensure that the main force of the Cao army was firmly contained here to facilitate the progress of the friendly army in the east, and generals like Zhang He and Zhang Liao could see at a glance the impact that the friendly army would have on the overall situation once they took the land north of the Jingxiang River. The long-established holistic view also allows them not to care about personal gains and losses.

The focus of this military meeting under the Jiameng Pass in Hanzhong is the same as that in the city of Beiping, focusing on whether to use the tactic of smuggling through Yinping, and everyone has no doubt about the practicality of the surprise attack method proposed by the Son of Heaven, and the practice has proved everything for a long time, His Majesty has never deviated on strategic issues, and the turning point of the battle of Hanzhong was the method of the Meridian Valley Surprise Army that he proposed that year, and since then the entire battlefield has entered the rhythm of the Han army, And handing over these discussions to himself also shows that the Son of Heaven has a deep trust in his subordinates, and he will do his best to repay them.

In the discussion of tactical issues is a normal situation, the Tiger Guard commander Zhang He Zhang Junyi is the biggest supporter of this tactic, and even put forward the proposal of the main force in his own army, in his opinion, the Son of Heaven letter in the strange army needs more than ten days to go around the Jiameng Pass behind the prediction is too conservative, from the terrain point of view, those mountain roads are indeed extremely dangerous, can be the Tiger Guard can have eight or nine days to complete, then with the main force of the army division should be combined with the outside to win the Xiongguan in one fell swoop, And once this is not just as simple as taking Jia Meng, the retreat of tens of thousands of Cao Army's elites will also be cut off by the Tiger Guard Army and it will be difficult to escape the luck of being annihilated.

As one of the two aces of the Han army, the leader of the Tiger Guard, Zhang He's prestige in the army is extremely high, and the Wei Yanqi attack on Micang Mountain is also a miracle of the Tiger Guard's establishment, so when Jun Yi put forward his views, there are not a few generals who support him, and Zhang Xiu, the commander of the Chang'an battalion, is also one of them. The opposing opinion was raised by Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the commander of the Yanyun Army, another major main force, who did not directly reject Zhang He's conception of surprise attack tactics, but expressed his approval of its various designs, and also agreed that the implementation of this method was quite successful. It's just that in the overall strategy, this plan is not the most suitable time, as long as you take Jing Xiang and divide the three heroes in the south into the Han army, you can break each one, it is the most stable method, the Son of Heaven at this time to unify the world's troops lies in stability rather than blindly seeking speed, although the method of surprise attack is feasible, it does have a lot of risks, if you can gain the advantage with a dignified formation, why bother to go sideways and pursue the enemy army in one fell swoop?

There was a confrontation between Zhang He and Zhang Liao in the Battle of Bingzhou, and Jun Yi desperately blocked the attack and was stabbed by Wen Yuan, but this did not prevent the two from becoming friends without fighting or knowing each other in the future, and they would not give up their insistence on their own opinions because of the identity of their friends. The argument between the two in the handsome tent is quite gunpowder-like, and how many of the generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years are good-tempered? But it is undeniable that their dispute is purely out of a public heart, and has nothing to do with any personal interests, and Zhang He's proposal to personally lead the Qi army to smuggle into Yinping puts himself in a very dangerous situation.

In the end, the debate was decided by Zhang Hu, the main force of Hanzhong attacked Jiameng Pass with all its strength to cooperate with the offensive launched by friendly forces in Jingxiang, military democracy is indeed a good prescription for Liu Yi to govern the army, but someone also needs to be able to speak up, otherwise such democracy will only become empty talk. The military advisor is the supreme commander of Hanzhong, and even if Jun Yi has an opinion in his heart, he can't disobey the military order, but he finally snatched the initial main attack task from Zhang Liao's hands, which can be regarded as a massitation!
