In the gap between Han Lie's treatment of his wounds, there was a discussion about whether to attack Changsha County or Wuling first, and under the chairmanship of Guo Jia, a heated discussion was held in the big tent of the Chinese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNow on the front line of Huarong, Han Lie's army is gathered, Zhou Tailing's 20,000 naval troops have also been stationed at Jiangkou, and Gan Ning has also completed the reorganization of Cai Mao's troops and horses in Jiangling, and he will personally lead 15,000 men and horses to Huarong in the near future.

Zhao Yun's Youwu Guard Army had 32,000 people, and the Red Flame Army had 15,000 people, and the total strength had reached 80,000. Especially because of the defeat of Lusu, the generals asked for battle one after another, asking to attack Changsha County and have a decisive battle with Sun Ce.

Especially when the newly defeated Lu Su, Zhu Huan, and Dong Xi bathed and changed clothes to join the discussion, the call to attack Changsha County suddenly overwhelmed the plan to attack Wuling County first.

"Changsha County is the center of the four counties of Jingnan, and it is also the base camp of Sun Ce, now that our army is gathered, if we can defeat Sun Ce in Changsha head-on, then Sun Ce's power in Jingnan will inevitably collapse completely, and then the rest of the counties will be decided." Lu Su doesn't look like he was born as a scribe, but he prefers to fight head-on, using an upright army to defeat the army that meets him.

Lu Su, as the governor of the navy, has no doubt about his strategic and tactical level, and as a general whom Han Lie trusts, he can be said to be the last, and since he took charge of the post of governor of the navy, he has also been quite controversial. But over the years, the navy has grown stronger and stronger in his hands, and his philosophy of governing the army with gentleness and uniformity has further consolidated his position.

However, his luck is obviously not very good, in the first big battle, he suffered a fiasco, although it is a crime of non-war, but the problem of Lu Su's ability will definitely be questioned in the future.

There are many generals who support Lu Su's point of view, at least the naval army, they are all one-sided support for Lu Su, this is not that they blindly follow Lu Su, but attack Changsha County, which is obviously conducive to the help of their naval army, from Huarong to Changsha County, the first stop is Luo County, and then Changsha City, and this way south, are suitable for the waterway of warship advancement, which is not only conducive to the naval army to cooperate with the operation, but also conducive to the transportation of food supplies, which is obviously conducive to the development of the war situation.

Under the gaze of everyone, he expressed his views in a deep voice: "Attacking Changsha County seems to be able to sweep away Sun Ce in one fell swoop, but Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang are far apart, and the road is difficult. On the contrary, at this time, if we divide our troops into two routes, drag Sun Ce all the way, capture Wuling all the way, and get in touch with Lingling Taishou Liu Du, we can take Wuling Lingling and Lingling in one fell swoop, and then join forces to attack Changsha, so that even if we fall into a tug-of-war, we can use convenient waterway transportation lines to ensure logistics problems for a long time, and trap Sun Ce alive in Changsha City. ”

"Think about it, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Changsha, this season is the early spring season, as long as we have a large army, Changsha County's spring plowing this year will be completely abandoned, there is no grain harvest, and it has been in war for a long time, I believe that as long as we are besieged for three months, the people of Changsha City will fall into panic, and even if Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, he will not be able to drive a hungry army to fight with us, right?"

As soon as Xun You's words came out, he immediately won the support of a large number of generals, and Zhao Yun also echoed his head: "Xun's strategy, although it may take a long time, will undoubtedly reduce the losses of our army in the big war. ”

Although Xun Junshi's words can reduce the damage of soldiers, but it will increase the cost of the war, 80,000 troops have been fighting for a long time, and the grain consumed in January will have to be the harvest of Zhangling County for a year, that is, once this war is delayed for half a year, all the harvests of Jingbei counties this year will be consumed in this war. Moreover, the delay is long, once the enemy in the north presses the border, and our main army is trapped in Jingnan, if we can't return in time to help, what will be the situation? To everyone's surprise, Kuai Yue stood up at this time, although he did not directly agree with Lu Su's opinion, but the question raised was undoubtedly a problem that could not be ignored.

The war brings not only casualties, but also the increase in taxes, and the continuous loss of people's livelihood, and a battle, in the end, is nothing more than fighting for financial resources, that is, the so-called grain and grass, an army does not pay military salaries for half a year, relying on military discipline supervision may still maintain combat effectiveness, but on the contrary, an army, as long as it does not eat for a day, the result is either mutiny or causing a large number of soldiers to flee.

Xun You's strategic viewpoint was not put forward hastily, he had already exchanged views with Guo Jia on this matter, and they had also taken into account the issues related to the allocation of grain and grass and the situation of all parties in the north.

First of all, Guo Jia thought that Sun Ce could not support it for three months, the reason was that it had lasted for two months since the beginning of the war, and after Sun Ce lost the base of Yuzhang, only the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, plus the Wuling County that had just been captured, had to support 80,000 troops, which could support three months at most.

Therefore, at this time, attacking Wuling first and taking Lingling can take the role of clearing the wilderness, and it can also further compress Sun Ce's maneuver place, forcing Sun Ce to only have a decisive battle with Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Changsha. If the progress of Wuling County is smooth, then the time may be faster, but on the contrary, if the main force goes south to Changsha County now, Sun Ce may not be able to fight a decisive battle, because he still has a deep rear, and if he can't hold on, he will inevitably choose to retreat, so that a chase battle will be formed one city and one place, and the loss will be greater.

Lu Su's strategic deployment of choosing to storm Changsha County was based on the idea that Sun Ce could be defeated in a battle, but neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu were ordinary people, they would definitely not give up easily, and chose to fight Han Lie's army to the death.

Facing the question raised by Kuai Yue, Guo Jia, who presided over the topic, nodded and said: "What Lord Kuai mentioned is the essence of the problem, but there will be casualties and losses in the war, I personally support Gongda (Xun You)'s opinion, why?" The reason is that Wuling was newly obtained by Sun Ce, and the people's hearts were not attached, and there are many soldiers of the Wuling Department in our army, which is very beneficial for us to capture Wuling in a war, and secondly, Lingling Taishou Liu Du is still holding on, so it means that he is not optimistic about Sun Ce, which is worth fighting for, so at this time we send someone to get in touch with him, and at the same time capture Wuling as quickly as possible, then Lingling is likely to fall into the territory of the Lord without a fight. ”

"Wuling Lingling two places, we can not only outflank Changsha County, but more importantly, we can drive directly to Guiyang County and cut off Sun Ce's back road in Changsha County, so Sun Ce in such a predicament has only two choices, either to fight to the death, or we can only give up Changsha County and retreat to Guiyang County when we take Lingling County, in order to obtain the support of Jiaozhou Shixie, I believe that at this time, Sun Ce will not be afraid."

So how long will it take to implement this strategy? With our current combat effectiveness, I believe that it will not take more than three months, three months is indeed not a short time, enough for Liu Bei's army in the pass to arrive in Nanyang, but also enough for Yuan Shao's army to come to the east of Laitai'an, Yanzhou's Cao Ang troops sent to Xuzhou, but in Jia's view, the most terrible of these three road army, the most terrible is not Yuan Shao Cao Ang, but Liu Bei, this person is known for his loyalty and benevolence, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to crusade against him. ”

"For this reason, if you want to break Liu Bei's plan to send troops, the only way to let Liu Bei's backyard catch fire, and to make Liu Bei scruples, is only Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, according to recent intelligence, Han Sui's righteous brother Ma Teng because of his credulity Liu Bei Zhao'an, and took his family to Chang'an to meet His Majesty, was beheaded by His Majesty as a traitor, although this matter is His Majesty's will, but a discerning person knows at a glance that it is a means arranged by Liu Bei to cut off the forces in Liangzhou."

"The second is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu inherited the Taoist system of the Heavenly Master Sect and established the Wudou Rice Sect in these years, and his power in Yizhou has greatly expanded, and he has fought many times with Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, but because of the obstruction of Yizhou Mountain Pass, he has never been able to enter Yizhou. Now that Liu Bei is getting bigger in Guanzhong, it is impossible for Zhang Lu, as a neighbor, not to feel threatened, so Jia thinks that Zhang Lu and Han Sui are all worthy of our fighting, and these two people are also the best allies to contain Liu Bei in a short period of time. ”

"As for Cao Ang, he is just a dog guarding the household, which is not enough evidence, and he can be captured in a battle. Although Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers, but this person is indecisive and suspicious, even if he sends troops, it will inevitably be delayed for a long time, even if it is difficult for my army to return for a while, but don't forget, the lord has arranged an elite army in Donglai, Donglai is too guarded by Zhang Liao is a sword that has never been unsheathed, the world does not know its edge, maybe it is time for him to come out of the sheath. ”

"Bang bang bang...... The words of filial piety are exactly what I want. This will be supported by Diao Chan, Han Lie, who walked into the big tent, clapped his hands and smiled appreciatively.

"Meet my lord." A cadre of civil and military generals in the tent, when they saw Han Lie entering, they all got up and saluted.

"No courtesy." Han Lie waved his hand and signaled, still supported by Diao Chan, when he walked to the front of the main seat, Han Lie bowed his head and said: "Today's atmosphere is very good, the big war is imminent, the soldiers use their lives, the military heart is available, this time on the expedition, you will be able to move forward bravely and win." ”

Just received the military stick, Han Lie's butt will not be able to do it for a while, but fortunately, in the Han Dynasty, they all knelt and sit, so Diao Chan carefully pounced on Han Lie with a thick layer of wool cotton, and then helped Han Lie kneel on the mat, and put a wooden stool next to it for Han Lie as an armrest.

"Cicada, sit down too." Han Lie straightened up and said softly to Diao Chan who was standing on the side. Facing the full hall of civil and military generals, Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, and sat next to Han Lie in a little panic, she lowered her head slightly, she didn't even dare to raise her head, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: This Brother Han is really, isn't it misleading to speak so softly in front of everyone's eyes?

Han Lie glanced at Diao Chan's expression from the corner of his eye, and he smiled knowingly, and when he raised his head to look around at the generals in the big tent, his face had already returned to calm, and his eyes suddenly became sharp as usual.

"Wuling must be fought, and it must be taken immediately, but at the same time, the forces of Changsha must also be contained, this is a rough point, you must obey." Although Han Lie's voice was not loud, his clear and powerful words suddenly spread to the ears of everyone in the big tent.

"Now it is up to Guo Junshi to announce a list of appointments, as well as the candidates for the main general to attack Wuling County." Han Lie paused and handed the bamboo slips on the table to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who was in the first position on the left, immediately stood up, took the bamboo slip and unfolded it, and read: "Appoint Liu Pan as the Taishou of Changsha, and give You County as its food town, and pass it on from generation to generation; Huang Zhong was appointed as a partial general, the post of Sima of the other department of the Chiyan Army was granted, Wen was appointed as the deputy governor of the Right Guard, Deng Zhi of Jiangxia County was transferred to the deputy governor of the Right Guard, Wei Yan was appointed as the general of the Right Guard, Wang Wei was appointed as the general of the Right Guard, Zhang Nan was appointed as the general of the Right Guard, Feng Xi was appointed as the general of the Right Guard, Fu Wei was appointed as the general of the Right Guard, and Cai He was appointed as the general of the Right Guard. Xi Zhen was appointed as the governor of the Right Guard, Han Xuan was appointed as the Commander of the Right Guard, and Lu Jie was appointed as the commander of the Armed Guard. ”

"Appointed Zhao Yun as the general of the rebellion, the post of governor of the right military guard, and the commander of the attack on Wuling County, and Xun You, the division of the right army, went to the mouth of the oil and grass to make up for it."

"General Xie is rewarded." As the generals who were named by Guo Jia one by one, they came out one after another, knelt down and accepted the seals.

After the distribution of the seal ribbon, Guo Jia once again unfolded the second bamboo slip, which was still an appointment bamboo slip: "Appoint Li Yan as the governor of Pingnan, temporarily build the governor's mansion with Huarong as the governing office, recruit 12,000 soldiers, appoint Liu Xianping as the governor of the Southern Governor's Mansion, and Deng Fang as the head of the Pingnan Governor's Mansion. ”

Li Yan, who was slightly stunned, responded with some excitement: "The last general, General Xie, will be rewarded." "The position of the governor, although it is not an official position recorded by the Han court, has now become the most powerful position under Han Lie's account, even more authoritative than the general Taishou.

For example, the former governor of the navy, Lu Su, such as Xu Huang, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun, the governor of the Right Guards who had just been canonized, were all powerful figures with great authority, to be honest, Li Yan never thought that he would gain trust so quickly and get such an important position, the governor of Pingnan ruled Huarong, although the jurisdiction has not yet been clarified, but Li Yan has already seen it literally, and in the future, the scope of authority of the governor of Pingnan is likely to be dominated by the four counties of Jingnan, and then radiate to Jiaozhou.

Liu Xian had meritorious service in Xiangyang, and originally Han Lie had arranged for him to go to Nanyang to serve as a county minister, but he later wrote a letter to resign, hoping to return to his hometown in Jingnan to work, because Liu Xian's hometown was a native of Lingling County, Jingnan. However, further Han Lie will also increase his position, Deng Fang is the former Gong Cao of Nanjun, this person is not famous, fortunately recommended by Huo Du, Han Lie talked with him, and found that this person is not only good at government affairs, but also has attainments in military affairs, plus his character is humble and does not like to compete for fame and fortune, but he is a trustworthy and reconciled contradiction candidate, which is in stark contrast to Li Yan's arrogance.

"Gan Ning was appointed as the right governor of the navy, and the men and horses of the department were reorganized into the navy army, and the army was stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, responsible for receiving the military supplies for the right Wuwei army's attack on Wuling County." Gan Ning is now on his way to Huarong, and this announced military order will be conveyed to him later.

"Huo Du was appointed as the governor of Nanjun, Huo Jun was appointed as the lieutenant of Nanjun, Wang Cang was appointed as the commander of Nanjun County and led by Jiangling County, and Nanjun Taishou was led by Cai Mao." It was Han Lie's initial promise to let Cai Mao concurrently serve as the Taishou of Nanjun, but Cai Mao, who was also the deputy governor of Jingzhou and stationed in Nanyang, was actually the position of the Taishou in Yao, that is, the nominal Taishou, and the real power was held by Huo Du and Wang Cang.

Although Han Lie is skeptical of Cai Mao, it is not that he does not distrust him, this is just a temporary investigation, if Cai Mao's actions are trusted in the future, Han Lie will naturally still reuse him.

"The rest of the troops, as well as the generals of the various departments, then the general went out to the expedition, drove directly to Luoxian, and launched a containment attack on Changsha." Han Lie led half of the men and horses this time to launch a feint attack on Changsha County, just to attract Sun Ce's attention and cover for Zhao Yun's attack on Wuling County.

It can be said that this attack on the county is a tempering of the Right Guard, and it is also the beginning of Zhao Yun's solo leadership, whether he can be a marquis and worship the general, it can only depend on himself, Han Lie has now paved the road for him, and he also has high hopes for him.

"Obey the general's orders!" And the people in the great tent will rise up and bow down and bow. (To be continued.) )
