A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Hong's mouth, he had long known that Zhang Jun would ask like this, so he patiently explained to Zhang Jun: "If Liu Bei wants to take Huaiyin and encircle the lord with Zhao Yun of Guangling, he will definitely entangle most of the soldiers and horses in Yinling and Huai'an to come and offend. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, these two cities are bound to be empty, as long as we drag Liu Bei's army at the Huaiyin Ferry, and let the soldiers hidden in Beiweikou take a boat to the north and attack Huai'an, we will definitely be able to take this empty city. ”

"Sir is very right." Zhang Jun suddenly realized, and he smiled: "In this case, we can also take advantage of the situation to take back Yinling City." ”

Yang Hong disagrees with this view, "No, no. First, we don't have so many soldiers and horses, and secondly, if we take all these two cities, Liu Bei, who is trapped in the river, will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and the place where he focuses on breaking through must be Huai'an, which is the closest to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei has 8,000 soldiers and horses, and even if we can annihilate half of their men and horses at Huaiyin Ferry, then the 4,000 people who escaped can still subdue Huai'an City under the leadership of Liu Guanzhang, and we can only get a Yinling City, and the role of Yinling City naturally cannot be compared with Huai'an, so that the gains outweigh the losses, and we will lose a good opportunity to open the gateway to Xuzhou. ”

Listening to Yang Hong's explanation, Zhang Jun suddenly said, "I see, Hongkai has been taught." ”

Yang Hong bowed slightly, tilted his head and asked Yuan Jiang, "Childe, what else do you have any doubts?" ”

Yuan Jiang replied: "Mr. also said just now that if you want to win against Liu Bei this time, you need 5,000 soldiers and horses, so where do you get this extra 1,000?" ”

The corners of Yang Hong's mouth hooked up a mysterious smile, "There are still a thousand soldiers and horses in this city, but you have to go out to borrow them yourself." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Jiang raised his eyebrows, "Where, I'll borrow it." ”

Yang Hong said: "When the lord left this morning, he also took Sun Ce and Han Dang with him, but Sun Jian's old department, about 1,000 people, was left in the city, led by Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. ”

Yuan Jiang touched his nose stupidly, "It turned out to be Sun Jian's old department, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Yang Hong will be mistaken, "Although it is Sun Jian's old department, but now it is the soldiers and horses of my lord, and the prince wants to use it, so isn't it called to drink?" ”

"That's not what I meant." Yuan Jiang shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Last night, at the Moon Worship Tavern, something very unpleasant happened between me and Sun Ce, so ......"

Yang Hong asked with interest, "What's the matter?" Childe might as well talk about it. ”

Yuan Jiang touched his nose stupidly and told Yang Hong everything about last night.

After Yang Hong heard the story, he pinched his beard and laughed, "Childe did the right thing, although this Sun Bofu is a general, he has never obeyed the discipline of the lord, and you taught you a great lesson last night." ”

Yuan Jiang tilted his head in embarrassment, "In this way, it's not good for me to borrow troops from him." ”

"I can't see it." Yang Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "If Gongzi sends a personal general, goes with a tiger talisman, and asks Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to send troops with a tough force, then this matter can be done." ”

"Why is that?" Yuan Jiang couldn't understand, since it was a borrowed soldier, how could he use a strong one? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

"Sun Jian's old department has always been the master of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, you taught Sun Ce a lesson last night, and in their eyes, it became a ruthless stubble, and now, if you ask for it with a tough posture, these thousand soldiers and horses will naturally be captured."

"That's very good." Yuan Jiang turned to the old housekeeper Uncle Liu and instructed: "You go and find Uncle Chen, give him my tiger talisman together, remember, ask Cheng Pu Huang Gai to send troops with the strongest posture." ”

After Uncle Liu took the order to leave, Yang Hong stretched out two more fingers and said the second difficulty, "The ambush battle at this Huaiyin ferry is the key to this battle, and it must be commanded by a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time; The ambush at Beihaikou needs to be led by a general who is well versed in water, after all, water combat is different from land. It's a pity that in order to capture Guangling, the lord has brought all his generals with him, and now there is no one in the city except General Zhang Xun. ”

When Yuan Jiang heard this, he smiled heartily: "Haha, Mr. Yang asked me about this, and he really asked the right person." ”

Yang Hong was slightly puzzled, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Yuan Jiang smiled faintly: "I am going to Yinling, although I lost the city, I was fortunate to meet a few tiger generals." One of them has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can be very useful; The other used to rob the river, and the water came and went. These two people can solve Mr. Yang's difficulties. ”

"Really?" Yang Hong rubbed his hands together with joy, and his eyes stared at Yuan Jiang like a wolf.

Yuan Jiang nodded, beckoned the servant to come to his side, and instructed, "Go and invite Zicheng and Youping." ”

The subordinate agreed, and not long after he went out, he led Li Zicheng and Zhou Tai back to the living room.

The two bowed for a long time, and asked in unison, "I don't know why Gongzi is looking for me and the two of you?" ”

Yuan Jiang simply told the two of them about Yang Hong's plan, and at the end, he asked, "Can you two be in this position?" ”

Li Zicheng patted his chest and was the first to say, "No problem, I'm the best at ambush warfare." ”

And Zhou Tai stood in place in a daze, silent.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiang smiled slightly, and threw out rich conditions, "Youping, if you can win a big victory this time, I will definitely go to my father and ask three thousand soldiers and horses to recapture the cottage with you." ”

Zhou Tai looked thoughtful and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Childe, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." I'm just wondering if Childe can give me another 500 sergeants. ”

Yuan Jiang raised his eyebrows, but Li Zicheng took the lead and said: "Youping, if you think that five hundred sergeants are not enough, I can give you five hundred, as long as you can stop Liu Bei, even if you give you another thousand, it will be no problem." ”

Zhou Tai shook his head, "Five hundred sergeants, it's enough to catch turtles in the urn." But if you want to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop and successfully take Huai'an, you still need three hundred soldiers. ”

Yuan Jiang asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

Zhou Tai sorted out his thoughts and hurriedly explained: "A certain person walks on the river all the year round, and he knows a lot about the waterway from Yinling to Huaiyin, and he knows that Beiweikou is the watershed of this waterway. In the upper reaches of Beiweikou, the waterway is open, and fishermen go out to fish all year round, so most of the reefs at the bottom of the river have been cleared for large war ships to sail freely; In the lower reaches of Beiweikou, and even Huaiyin Ferry, the river channel is neglected to be cleaned up, and the reefs are clustered, and small fishing boats and fast boats can pass through, while the big warships can only stop.

Yuan Jiang nodded approvingly, "Yes, when I returned to Huaiyin, Zhang Xun also mentioned this matter to me. ”
