Chapter 317: Storm
When Guan Yu heard this, he first glanced at Zhuge Liang inexplicably, but he knew that Zhuge Liang would never joke on top of major events, so he had to stand up, walked quickly to the door, and pushed the door, but just saw that the sky that was still sunny when they came before had gradually gathered dark clouds at this time, and they were about to cover the sun.
Guan Yu saw this situation and his face was condensed at first, obviously a little unhappy about the change in this weather, the most afraid of the sailor travel, the most afraid is the influence of the weather, this kind of weather is quite unfavorable for the sailor to travel. But recalling what Zhuge Liang said before, Guan Yu carefully observed the clouds in the sky, and also thought carefully in his heart.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Guan Yu's mind, Guan Yu also has some experience in combat strategy, compared to Zhang Fei, the consideration of the problem is also a lot more comprehensive, so when he retreated into the house, the expression on his face has already changed to joy.
"How? According to the general's opinion, is it possible to send troops today? Zhuge Liang saw that Guan Yu had changed his expression after going out to see it, so he asked with a smile.
"I knew that the sergeant was familiar with astronomy and geography, and he could calculate the rain and snow and the sunny, and when I saw it today, it was indeed worthy of the name, and if I sent troops today, although there was a risk, but once I succeeded, I would definitely be able to surprise and give Jiangdong a heavy blow!"
"Having said that, I don't know if these sailors trained by the general can sail in this storm, and if they are not eighty percent sure, they must not rush to send troops."
In fact, as early as when Zhuge Liang arrived in Xiakou that day and saw these sailors, he asked Guan Yu if these sailors could sail in the wind and waves, but because he did not explain the reason, Guan Yu thought that Zhuge Liang was questioning the combat ability of the sailors he trained, so even if he made a guarantee, he bluntly said that no matter how big the wind and waves, at least eighty or ninety percent of his warships could reach Jiangdong and fight.
Seeing that Guan Yu understood what he meant at this time, Zhuge Liang immediately asked again, this question is related to the success or failure of going to attack the general this time, only these sailors can sail in the wind and waves, in order to ensure the feasibility of this plan.
"Although there were some disagreements with the military advisors that day, my sailors did train too much in the wind and waves, and if there were no wind and waves that could directly tip the warship, it would definitely be fine."
"That's good, as early as a few days ago, I watched the sky and knew that there is a rather large storm in Jiangdong today, I am afraid that it will greatly shorten the distance that can be seen on the river, although we know some camps of the Jiangdong naval army, but after these days, once these camps change again, our army will be discovered by them if they go rashly, and with this storm, we can make this plan possible."
In Jiangdong and Jingzhou, there are many storms and rains, in fact, it has long been strange, so Zhuge Liang thought of using the cover of wind and rain to make Jiangdong unable to discover his whereabouts at the first time when he decided to attack Jiangdong, so that it is very possible to occupy one or two counties in Jiangdong when his army lands.
"I don't know where the military division intends to go this time, although these naval forces used by us are also elite divisions, but if they really go too deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong, it is quite risky, the Jiangdong naval army is much more familiar with the terrain in its territory than ours, if we learn about this, we will definitely send a large army to rescue, we and other ships, if they form a force and can still fight, if they divide the troops, it may be difficult to continue."
Although there is a cover of the weather, but Guan Yu still has some ambiguity in his heart, the Jiangdong under the jurisdiction of Sun Quan is also quite large, Guan Yu knows that with these naval armies, they must not go too deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong, otherwise even if some states and counties are taken down at that time, it will not be held for a long time, and the hundreds of thousands of elite sailors in Jiangdong are indeed elite divisions.
"The land of Jiangdong is not something that can be taken overnight, so we must not be greedy for merit this time, I have already planned in the past few days, this time, our army will take advantage of the time of the day, our army will include the part of Jiangxia that is occupied by Jiangdong, so that the land of Xiangyang and Jiangxia can be considered completely included in our hands, in addition, the land of Lujiang County, which is close to Jiangxia, can also be plotted this time."
Seeing that it was already getting darker and darker outside the window, Zhuge Liang quickly walked to the map of Jingzhou and Jiangdong hanging on the wall, and said these words for the first time. In the past few days, although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu asked each other many times, Zhuge Liang still did not say where he wanted to attack this time.
Finally, when Zhuge Liang had been looking forward to the storm that swept almost half of Jiangdong for several days, he said the offensive route he had planned in the past few days.
After Zhuge Liang's explanation, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei analyzed for a moment and did not have any objections, now Zhuge Liang has two counties, and Jiangxia is not complete, if you really take the Lujiang River, which is quite close to Jiangxia, into your pocket, then the land of the three counties is in hand, and I don't know how much better it is than the previous rumors in the land of the two counties.
"This is very good, taking advantage of the opportunity of Sun Quan to put Jiangdong at the mercy of a miasma, even if we encroach on a county in Jiangdong, Sun Quan is powerless to think for a while, and when he wants to take back this county again, he will teach him to understand the power of my Jiangxia army."
Zhang Fei finally had a feeling of seeing the sun in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but wave his huge fist fiercely, as if Sun Quan was like a chicken and a dog in his eyes.
"What Yide said is very true, and with the help of this storm, there is also a possibility to keep Jiangdong out."
"How is that possible?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was solemn again, Guan Yu couldn't help asking.
"If we wait for such a big movement on weekdays to mobilize the navy, I am afraid that it will be discovered by Pang Tong of Jingzhou, Pang Tong is very difficult to deal with, compared with the previous Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu, each has its own merits, only under the cover of this storm, can Jingzhou, which is not outstanding in the navy, not be able to find out about our actions, even if it is found, it will not risk participating in it."
Zhuge Liang's concern about Liu Feng is always the first, and now that this consideration is said, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare not refute it.
But just when the two wanted to agree, Zhuge Liang suddenly changed his complexion, and shouted: "It's not good!" ”
