Chapter 391: The southeast peeps into Jiangdong, and the northwest controls Cao Cao

Hanchang!

After leaving Chengdu, according to the analysis of Guo Jia and Meng Da, Ma Bin went directly to Hanchang. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

originally thought that Zhang Lu would send a third-rate general to symbolically guard it, but what they never expected was that Zhang Lu didn't even bother to guard it.

Hanchang has almost become an empty city.

The gates of the city were wide open, and there was not even a single figure of the people inside.

Ma Bin once suspected that this was Zhang Lu's empty city plan, but it turned out that he thought too much, and this was what Zhang Lu gave him over.

With Hanchang as a forward stronghold, Ma Bin felt that he was one step closer to swallowing Badong.

Still, he felt like it was all going a little too well.

Could it be that Zhang Lu also wants to learn from Liu Zhang and surrender without a fight?

But it's not right, Liu Zhang still sent an army to entangle with him for half a month, but in the end he didn't resist.

Zhang Lu's direct abandonment of the city was even worse than what his old master did.

In the palace of Hanchang Taishou, Ma Bin convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Ma Bin took the lead in expressing the doubts in his heart.

The young Fa Zheng immediately said: "Lord, it seems that Zhang Lu is going to resist stubbornly!" ”

Ma Bin said: "How do you say this? ”

Fa Zheng said: "I don't care about the gains and losses of one place and one city, and then concentrate all my troops on the east side of the ditch water, this move is really smart enough!" ”

Ma Bin laughed and said: "Fazheng, hearing you say this, this king understands it!" But since Hanchang has been taken by us, is it still far to cross the ditch? ”

Guo Jia said: "There is a ditch city to the east of the ditch water, if it is not expected, there must be Zhang Lu's army there!" And Zhang Lu took the initiative to give up Hanchang, which does not mean that he will watch us cross the canal. On the opposite side of this Hanchang, there must be a big village to the east of the ditch water! As long as we sail to the other side, they will surely attack before we go ashore! ”

Meng Da echoed on the side: "The words of the military advisor are very reasonable! At the moment we have a limited number of vessels. If you want to use Hanchang as a base and get through the ditch water, I'm afraid it will take a little time! In my opinion, it is better for our army to go north and bypass the ditch water. And then on the territory of Patong. Fight from north to south! ”

Ma Bin nodded thoughtfully.

Guo Jia said: "But wouldn't Yan Pu think of this?" I really can't think of what tricks he'll do now. ”

Ma Bin stroked his beard and said: "This king estimates that there are about 30,000 people under Zhang Lu's command now!" Although it is similar to our current people, the difference in strength is too far after all! And that Yang Bai was defeated in Hanzhong not long ago. The only general under Zhang Lu who can take the stage now is Yang Bai, and the morale of his army will inevitably be affected! In this way, no matter how tricks Yan Pu tries, he can't stop our army! ”

Everyone saw that Ma Bin was full of confidence. They all nodded.

Zhang Liao took the initiative to ask: "In this case, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 men and horses as a pioneer!" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Since the last general has been under the command of the lord, he has not made an inch, and the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

After Ling Bao and Deng Xian heard Huang Zhong say this, they also hurried out to ask for help.

Seeing this kind of scene, Ma Bin, Guo Jia, Meng Da and others all laughed.

Ma Bin coughed twice and said, "Zhang Liao, Ling Bao listens to the order." This king takes the two of you as the vanguard and leads 8,000 men and horses to clear the way around the ditch water! ”

"Yes!"

After the two of them hugged their fists and withdrew, Ma Bin said to Huang Zhong and Deng Xian: "Don't be too anxious about the two of you, there is an opportunity!" Fight the world. In the future, it will naturally depend on the two of you! ”

Huang Zhong and Deng Xian both laughed.

Huang Zhong said: "Lord, after taking Badong, what are your next plans!" ”

Ma Bin pointed at Guo Jia and said: "This is a big military division to ask us, this king can't be the master!" ”

Guo Jia shook his head helplessly and said, "The lord's words are really unbearable! ”

Ma Bin said: "Don't say it, this king really hasn't thought about what to do next!" Why don't the three great strategists help analyze and analyze? ”

Guo Jia motioned to Fa Zheng and Meng Daxian to say.

Meng Da said: "Then Meng Mou will throw bricks and lead the jade first!" The situation in the world is changing a lot. Cao Cao has taken possession of Sanzhou, and Yuan Shao occupies Hebei! Gongsun Chan is on the side! According to Meng's opinion, after taking Badong, it is better to take Jingzhou directly! In this way, the southeast can peep into the east of the river, and the northwest can restrain Cao Cao! ”

Ma Bin nodded: "Makes sense!" ”

Fa Zheng said on the side: "At present, although Liu Biao's vitality is greatly damaged, Liu Biao is not as good as Zhang Lu, he has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, and there are still several fierce generals under his command!" And I heard that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang seem to have taken refuge in Liu Biao recently......"

Ma Bin said: "The strength of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should not be underestimated! But the more we are at this time, the more we can't let them go! You think, once they are allowed to grow strong in Jingzhou and let them occupy the land of Jingzhou, sooner or later it will be a big trouble! ”

Guo Jia stroked his beard for a long time, and said to Huang Zhong with a smile: "General Huang, in your opinion, if the lord really attacks Jingzhou, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "At least 50,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

After hearing this, Deng Xian laughed and said: "General Huang, that Liu Biao was defeated in Hanzhong just now, and he brought so many soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong, and there were not many of them brought back in total!" And I heard that after he went back, his health was not as good as a few days! Several sons are also fighting openly and secretly for the position of Jingzhou pastor. Maybe 50,000 soldiers and horses will be needed for this? ”

Huang Zhong said: "When Huang was in Jingzhou, he heard Liu Muzhou say that he intended to win over the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang! The three of them are no slouch! If it weren't for the three of them, maybe 30,000 horses would be enough! But with the three of them, I'm afraid I don't have to deal with it! I heard that Guan Yu's ability is not under Lu Bu! ”

Ma Bin said: "When the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, this king saw his power! It's really amazing! General Huang has a point! Now Liu Biao's body is not as good as day by day, and it is good to say that his sons have become Jingzhou pastors, but if Liu Bei takes advantage of the loophole, things will not be so simple! I wonder if you have a good plan? ”

Guo Jia said: "Since we are now going all out to deal with Zhang Lu, then Liu Biao can use a little trick to change the hearts of the people in Jingzhou!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's actually quite simple! Now Liu Biao's sons are competing for Jingzhou pastor, Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's sons may not welcome Liu Bei like their father! So we can send someone to Jingzhou to take a walk, and the rumor is that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang want to kill several of Liu Biao's sons when he is seriously ill, and then become the lord of Jingzhou himself! ”

"Good plan! Good plan! Even if this plan can't force away the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, it can make them suspicious of each other and have internal friction! In this case, when we finish dealing with Zhang Lu, and then deal with them, it will be much simpler! ”

After Ma Bin just finished saying this, Guo Jia said: "Then let someone do it now?" ”

Ma Bin nodded and said, "At this time, it will be handed over to the military division, and there is a labor division!" ”

After Guo Jia withdrew, Ma Bin looked at Fazheng, although Fazheng is young now, he has a lot of good plans in his heart, and he has an accurate grasp of the general trend of the world. If Guo Jia is allowed to cultivate it personally, it will definitely not be easy in the future......
