On the eve of the Great War

Next; The sky was clear in the morning, Jingzhou was still peaceful at this time, because of Zhang Fei's blitzkrieg, so most civilians did not know that Jingzhou was about to break out a life-and-death decisive battle, and they were enjoying the sunshine of peace.

Huang Quan and Fu Tong each led their troops out of Zigui City; "Tun Chief, do you think we will have a chance to fight in the future" Qin Shan followed Zhuge Qiao on the city wall and watched the army go out of the city, and said very disappointedly;

"Why are you afraid that you won't have a chance to go to the battlefield, although now we are already Your Majesty's guard, once we arrive at the land of Jingxiang, the frontal battlefield will be very tight, that is, the time for us to make meritorious contributions" Zhuge Qiao only laughed at Qin Shan's question, he knew that sooner or later the Eastern Wu would appoint Lu Xun as the governor of the capital to face the battle, and the war would fall into extraordinary hardships at that time.

The army rested for three days, and on the fourth day, Liu Bei received a letter from Ma Liang, "Your Majesty, the barbarian king of Wuxi, Shamoke, is willing to personally lead 10,000 barbarians to help in the war, and he understands that the Han generals Du Lu and Liu Ning also led 5,000 men and horses to help in the war" Liu Bei was also in high spirits after reading the letter, and he was so happy that he couldn't wait to immediately enter Jianye City and capture Sun Quan.

"Pass the order, and set off to the Pavilion to fight a decisive battle with Soochow on the same day"

When the generals got the news, they immediately reorganized their soldiers and were ready to set off at any time to accumulate strength for the first major battle after the founding of Shu Han; Zhuge Qiao naturally followed Liu Bei's side and set off with the army at this time, who made him the imperial guard.

Fu Tong, the pioneer of the front, opened the road in the mountains, closed the water and built a bridge, so the marching speed of Liu Bei's army was still guaranteed, and on the seventh day, he finally arrived near the distance of Yiting Baili, and after converging with Fu Tong's department, he began to build a military camp.

"Filial piety (Chen Zhen's words), you write a war book and hand it to the city of Xianting, and seven days later, the land of Lan Yan will fight with it" Liu Bei was very decisive at this time, but Chen Zhen was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, why does the decisive battle have to be after seven days, if our army is really defeated in this battle, will we give up the conquest of Jingzhou?"

"Five days later, the Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke will lead, and the Wuxi barbarian army will be 10,000; Knowing that the Han generals Du Lu and Liu Ning would also lead an army of 5,000 to help; And this battle is the first big battle for me to ascend the throne, and we will never allow defeat and retreat, if our army is defeated when the two armies are fighting, I will personally lead the Imperial Forest Army to resist the enemy, except for the death party" Liu Bei did not hesitate to say what he thought in his heart, and it can be seen that Liu Bei's heroic posture has not disappeared with age.

After hearing this, Chen Zhen was also full of emotion, "If Your Majesty is not victorious, the heavens will not tolerate it, and the minister will immediately write a good war letter and send it to the Qianting" At this time, Chen Zhen was already sweating, not to say how hot the weather was at this time, but Liu Bei was determined to shock him.

A volume of war books was escorted by arrows, and finally arrived at the castle tower of the pavilion.

"Governor Liu Bei sent someone to send a war letter," the soldier who sent the silk silk had just finished speaking; Han Dang immediately snatched the 、、、 with one hand

"Liu Bei made an appointment with our army to fight a decisive battle in the land of Lan Yan seven days later, what do you think" Han Dang read the war book and handed it to the others, except for the whole process, there was no trace of anger because of the war book, but calmly asked the opinions of the generals, and it can also be seen that Han Dang is worthy of being a veteran of Jiangdong.

"A few days ago, my scouts have been probing the movements of Liu Bei's army, and I know from their marching ranks that Liu Bei has brought up to 60,000 soldiers and horses in this personal expedition, plus he will also send troops to garrison the city all the way, so Liu Bei will not have more than 50,000 soldiers who can be used for a decisive battle; And the 50,000 soldiers and horses we brought are all Jiangdong elites, plus the tens of thousands of defenders in Jingzhou, we can fight more than 70,000 soldiers, why not be afraid of Liu Bei" Sun Heng, the pioneer of the front, was even more excited when he heard Liu Bei's battle book, and he couldn't wait for tomorrow to be the decisive battle.

"Shuwu (Sun Heng's character) said well, the land of Jingzhou is owned by my lord; Today, Liu Bei led a large army to take my lord Jingzhou, how can we not fight, there is absolutely no one in my Jiangdong disciples" Ling Tong also echoed Sun Heng's opinion, after all, among the generals here, only he and Sun Heng are young generals, but being able to hold important positions in the army at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen also proves that Eastern Wu is stronger than Shu Han. The youngest generals in the Shu Han camp are in their thirties at this time, Zhang Fei is already in his fifties, and Liu Bei is also in his sixties.

So all the generals agreed to a decisive battle with Liu Bei in the land of Lan Yan; Only Zhu Ran thought that the city should be defended and the Han army would be cut off from food.

"I am also not in favor of a decisive battle with the enemy, the reason why the enemy army issued a war book to fight a decisive battle with our army is that he expects a quick victory, and does not want to delay the fighters, if our army goes out of the city to fight a decisive battle with it, it is no different from betraying the country" and some people oppose the decisive battle, and the words are so thorny, they all look at him; Luo Tongzi Gongxu, who served as the Marquis of Wucheng at the age of 20, had great political achievements, was named a partial general, and went out with the army to join the army.

When all the soldiers were pondering for Luo Tong's sentence just now, 'what is the difference from betraying the country'; "Gongxu (Luo Tong's words) is different from this statement, now Liu Bei is coming to attack the city, if we are all in the city, naturally there will be no loss, but the military order given to us by Wu Hou is to retreat from the enemy, not to let us stay here; In the past, Cao Cao led millions of people to launch the Chibi War, and our army did not retreat in the city, but resolutely launched a counterattack under the leadership of the Grand Governor, burying Cao Cao's millions of people in the belly of the Yangtze River; Now Liu Bei's army is only 60,000 people, but we want to shrink into the city and let it run rampant, this is not something that my Jiangdong children can bear" As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was also shocked, even Luo Tong was ignited by this remark The blood in the hearts of the young man belonged to him, and everyone looked towards the person who spoke; He Qi Zi Gong Miao; In his early years, he suppressed countless rebellions, experienced a hundred battles, was invincible, and was deeply valued by Sun Quan.

"Gong Miao's words can be described as a large number of people's hearts, and it shows the momentum of the entire Jiangdong disciples, my Jiangdong disciples should not defend the battle, and go to the land of Lan Yan to fight with them seven days later" Han Dang was also aroused to fight, who didn't want to build a meritorious feat like Zhou Yu, and gave the final order.

"Governor Zuo, I have a word; The land of Lan Yan seems to be open, but it is not; There is a dense forest twenty miles to the east of it, our army can ambush an army, and when it comes to the battle, it is surprising, when the strange soldiers are used, "Jiangling Taishou, the rear army guard Zhu Ran has been serving as a guard in Jingzhou, so he is very familiar with the terrain."

"This plan is very good, General Zhu will lead 10,000 troops to ambush in this dense forest by you, and watch me command with a big banner" Han Dang immediately agreed to Zhu Ran's strategy.

"Governor Zuo, the last general thinks that a surprise army will make the enemy fearless, so he can divide 10,000 soldiers into two armies, and set up more banners to deter the enemy, so that they will mistakenly think that our army has many large armies in the east to ambush, so that they will be frightened; Then we have a sixty percent chance of winning this decisive battle," Luo Tong hurriedly added;

"Joining the army, we will have more soldiers than Liu Bei, or we will fight a decisive battle in our Jingzhou locality, and we still have ambush soldiers, how can we only have a sixty percent chance of winning" Ling Tong was dissatisfied with Luo Tong's remarks, thinking that he was lowering morale.

"The fighters on the battlefield are instantaneous, and the victory or defeat is in the number of five or five, I just said that sixty percent is because there are more soldiers and soldiers in our army, and there are ambushes before I dare to say anything, otherwise it is all five or five" Luo Tong also said very meaningfully.

"Okay, don't argue, we'll see you in the land of Lan Yan in seven days, and now the generals are stepping up their training of soldiers to prepare for the big war" Han Dang immediately decided to fight Lan Yan.

In the next few days, the counties of Jingzhou began to dispatch troops, and the destination was Yaoting.

[Luo Tong; This is an unpopular figure in the Three Kingdoms, and he is indeed very talented, but unfortunately he died young, and he was only twenty-eight years old on this expedition; He Qi was also a person who could fight well in Jiangdong, and was obscured by the four major governors of Eastern Wu. After that, some unpopular characters will be involved, I hope you like it]
