Guard! Zhu Ran just defended, since ancient times, those famous generals who defended the city can really win, not blindly defending, but daring to take the initiative. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And Liu Ye and Pang were accurate from the beginning, with Zhu Ran's character, in the face of them, they would definitely not dare to take the initiative.

Zhu Ran really didn't dare, if he also had 200,000 troops, if his chess pieces were enough, he would also take the initiative to attack, now he was facing two people with extreme resourcefulness, if he didn't grasp the opportunity, once the attack was unfavorable, he would be caught by them and beaten to death.

But if Zhu Ran blindly guards, he will be played by Liu Ye and Pang Tong, and Zhu Ran has to use his brain power to keep up with the speed of those two people, which is not a simple matter, because when he was in Shuijing Villa, Zhu Ran had never won any of them in terms of wit, and now it is not easy to win.

The Chu army camp.

Liu Ye, Pang Tong, and Yang Yi gathered around the charcoal fire, and the flames made their faces red.

The three of them were silent and roasted the fire, and after a long time, Yang Yi spoke: "Two senior brothers, I don't know something, please ask the two senior brothers for advice." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Liu Ye licked his lower lip and said.

Pang Tong didn't look up, he didn't need to ask to know what Yang Yi wanted to say.

"Senior brother, what I want to ask is, why don't we go all out now to eliminate Zhu Ran, and we have to confront him, so as not to give him enough time to prepare, and then there will be reinforcements from Jiangdong!"

Yang Yi said.

Liu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, junior brother, you're right. ”

"If that's the case, then why is Senior Brother?"

"That's because we just want Zhu Ran to prepare."

Yang Yi asked tentatively: "Could it be that the two senior brothers want to confront Zhu Ran on the border of Changsha, and finally wipe out all the reinforcements they have attracted, and then they can directly advance to Jiangdong?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Before Gan Ning's navy defeats Zhou Yu, we can't rush forward. In order to prepare for this battle against Wu, the king has been preparing for a long time, everything has been planned, we have enough grain and grass, there are 400,000 soldiers, even if Huang Zhong's 50,000 are folded, there are still 350,000 soldiers. After Wang Shang defeated Lu Xun and Lu Su and captured Jiangxia County, the combined armies of Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran were only about 100,000. ”

Pang Tong took Liu Ye's words and said: "Jiangdong projectile land, and my Great Chu to contend with, these years Jiangdong has not been much war, Sun Quan did hoard enough grain and grass, but Jiangdong people are still not enough, Sun Quan wants to fight a decisive battle with the king, use 100,000 troops, its supplies and escort grain and grass team, just mobilize the people need at least 300,000 people, with these two lines tightened, then Sun Quan will continue to recruit troops to the Jiangxia and Changsha border to increase troops. At that time, I am afraid that almost all the men in Jiangdong will come to fill the army. ”

Liu Ye stretched out his hand and touched the flame in the furnace, took Pang Tong's words and said: "When Jiangdong has no soldiers to send, and almost all the men in Jiangdong arrive at the battlefield, if there is turmoil in Shanyue at that time, Sun Quan will definitely not be able to deal with it,"

Yang Yi said: "Senior brother means to fight a protracted war?" It's just that our 400,000 troops consume a huge amount of grain and grass, and although the transportation from Xiangyang to Changsha and Jiangxia is convenient, it also needs nearly 800,000 people to transport grain and grass. “

"War is just a continuation of politics, war is fought with national strength, fight is the economy, fight is money, fight is people, Chu people far exceed Dongwu, Chu's wealth far exceeds Dongwu, Chu's weapons far exceed Dongwu, Chu's generals and ministers are stronger than Dongwu, we are bound to win this time, just how to win, if it goes straight into the heart of Dongwu like a storm to build Ye City. At that time, Sun Quan must have been shocked, so he would ask for help from Cao Wei, at least Cao Wei would enter Jiangdong to block our army, or at worst he would directly surrender to Cao Wei. Liu Ye replied.

"Senior brother means, we have to fight, but we can't fight too hard, if Sun Quan can't see a glimmer of hope, then he will ask for help Cao Wei?"

"There is such a little meaning, Cao Wei can't sit on the profits of the fisherman, with Cao Cao's ability, he must know that Dongwu will definitely not be able to stop Dachu, so he must intervene in it, we just hope that Sun Quan will not let Cao Wei come in now, the longer Sun Quan lasts, the greater the consumption of his national strength. When Cao Wei entered Yangzhou, Sun Quan could not provide grain and grass to his reinforcements, or at that time, Cao Wei's army saw that Eastern Wu was so weak and could not be supported, would he think about directly ending Sun Quan at that time? ”

"If Cao Wei enters Jiangdong and Sun Quan's contradictions intensify, turn around and destroy Sun Quan, and wait until the defeat of Eastern Wu, the battlefield of Cao Wei and my Great Chu will definitely be transferred to Yangzhou, Cao Wei's army is good at foot cavalry, not a naval army, if our two countries fight in Yangzhou at that time, we will definitely be able to defeat Cao Wei."

Full of calculations, Yang Yi listened to Liu Ye and Pang Tong's explanations, and now he has understood that what Pang Tong and Liu Ye are planning is no longer a one-sided battlefield, but the entire battle situation, their eyes look at the most critical point, look at Sun Quan's eyes, and watch Sun Quan's attitude change. Sun Quan is the key to this war, Sun Quan is not a waste, he understands that the introduction of Cao Wei to block the Chu State is just to prevent the invasion of one wolf, and to introduce another evil wolf into the house, so unless it is a last resort, it is not really supportive, Sun Quan is unwilling to invite Cao Wei to enter the country.

Now Sun Quan pinned his hopes on Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran, since he pressed the bet, the gambler would spare no effort to put all the chips on the bet, because once he lost, the gambler would lose everything. When Sun Quan continuously transported financial, manpower, and material resources to Changsha and Jiangxia, if Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran were defeated, then the plan would be carried out according to the deduction of Pang Tong, Liu Ye and Ma Hong.

At the moment, Zhu Ran defeated Huang Zhong's troops and killed Huang Zhong, which in Sun Quan's eyes, was the flame of victory, when a gambler saw a little hope, his determination would expand, and his chips would not hesitate to press away.

Huang Zhong's death in battle was a big impact on the Chu State, but everything has pros and cons, if this evolved into a flame in Sun Quan's eyes, Huang Zhong's death was also worth it. It's just that when Huang Zhong died, Deng Zhi and Zhang Yi died with him, Deng Zhi was only in his thirties, and Zhang Yi was only in his twenties, both of whom were very capable people, which was a big loss for the Chu State.

Pang Tong stretched out his hand into the stove, and suddenly pinched the fast-burning coals in his hand, crushed it hard, and sparks flew out of his palm, he clapped his hands and looked at Liu Ye and Yang Yi and slowly spoke: "The fire ignited in Zhu Ran's heart is extinguished by us, and Sun Quan's hope is extinguished by us." This battle against Wu is extremely critical, if it fails, the world is still divided into three points, or Eastern Wu will become a vassal state of Wei, if it succeeds, my Great Chu will take Jiangdong, and from then on the world will be divided into two points, across the river. When Cao ** goes, when the king sends troops again, he must launch a fierce attack on the third line, all the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, the second road Wancheng to attack Xudu, and the third road Jiangdong into Xuzhou.
