Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, Jiangxia Mountain, Wuchang Palace, on the bright hall, silent-

Sun Ce was dressed in armor and sat on top of it, the golden helmet was placed on the side of the case, Ling Tong stood beside Sun Ce with two swords on his back, and on the other side was the eunuch Xiao Guizi standing bowed down, holding the Yitian Sword in his hand.

Compared with before, Xiao Guizi's whole temperament has changed, perhaps because of his martial arts.

There were two columns of civil and military personnel standing under the hall, and all the civil and military officials near Wuchang Palace who were qualified to participate in this meeting were basically all there.

Sun Ce leaned on the desk with one hand, and his fingers tapped lightly, making a tuk tuk sound.

In the silent hall, the sound was a little harsh, but it was in harmony with the birdsong that sounded from time to time outside the hall. It's the season of fireworks in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the sun is warm and warm, the breeze is pleasant, and it is also a good time to fight. It's not as hot as summer and not as cold as winter.

When Yuan Shao's army of 300,000 went south, Sun Ce quickly got the news.

From Yecheng, to Xudu, and then to Wuchang, there are countless carrier pigeons going back and forth. A large number of secret saucers and secret agents are constantly active in Hebei, the Central Plains and Jingzhou.

Rao is Sun Ce's arrangement is very sufficient, but Sun Ce got the news from Hebei half a month later. This made Sun Ce very uncomfortable, he liked the feeling of being in control, even if he was not involved in this big battle. However, the impact of this war on Sun Ce is self-evident.

Cao Cao's victory and Yuan Shao's victory, Sun Ce needs to have a different response plan.

Even to a certain extent, Sun Ce preferred Yuan Shao to win, and this was an important reason why the Secret Saucer Division was active in Hebei and the Central Plains.

In the previous Battle of the White Horse, the news and reminders that Yan Liang received were all sponsored by the Secret Saucer Division. On the one hand, he naturally did not want Cao Cao's 'Cao' to smoothly solve the siege of Baima, and on the other hand, Sun Ce did not want history to repeat itself, so he let Liu Bei, a-stirring stick, come to Runan to collect Liu Pi's headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army.

Liu Bei is undoubtedly a hero, Sun Ce asked himself that under repeated defeats, it is impossible for him to be as strong as Liu Bei. And Liu Bei 'survived' and 'survived' until he became the emperor. This guy is like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and when he has the opportunity, he will jump out, which makes people very unhappy.

In the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei was ordered by Yuan Shao to go to Runan to collect the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and threaten Cao 'Cao' from the rear. At this time, Liu Bei's official starting point, after which Liu Bei attached himself to Liu Biao, got the help of Wolong and Feng Xiao, and united with Sun Quan to fight against Cao 'Cao' in the Battle of Chibi, and finally borrowed half of Jingzhou, and took this as the basis to control Yizhou, the country of abundance, so that the hegemony has been completed.

Therefore, Sun Ce would never give Liu Bei this opportunity.

If Yuan Shao learned that Liu Bei's brother-in-law worked for Cao Cao' and had a fight with Yan Liang, then Liu Bei would not have the opportunity to go to Runan again.

With Yuan Shao's person, once you become suspicious, you will not be used again.

However, at this time, Sun Ce had no intention of caring about the war between Yuan Cao, and now there were more important things in front of Sun Ce. That is to take advantage of the great opportunity of the Battle of Guandu to seize Jingzhou and connect the land of Jingyang.

Once Sun Ce connects Jingzhou and Yangzhou, then whether it is Yuan Shaosheng or Cao Cao's victory, Sun Ce will have the strength to fight.

For the sake of things after the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce had to quickly capture Jingzhou, especially Xiangyang County and Nan County, which was crucial to Sun Ce's plan!

"Bring the sand table!" Sun Ce suddenly got up and said loudly.

With Sun Ce's order, several more soldiers soon came to the main hall carrying the sand table.

In the sand table brought in, the entire Jingzhou has been included, and the contrast between the enemy and the enemy is very obvious. It is the Wu army that 'planted' the red flag, and it is the Jingzhou army that 'planted' the blue flag, which looks clear at a glance.

Sun Ce took the command 'baton' handed by a 'squire' guard and came to the edge of the sand table. A group of civil and military officers also took a few steps forward and gathered around the sand table, some of them 'revealed' curiosity in their eyes, and some of them had already begun to think.

I saw Sun Ce wave the command 'baton' in his hand and said, "Everyone, this is the current situation of the enemy in Jingzhou!" ”

After a pause, Sun Ce nodded at the main book is Yi and said, "Ziyu, tell you the details!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Yi shook his head, picked up the notebook clipped under his armpit, opened it with both hands, and said slowly: "At present, among the nine counties of Jingzhou, Jiangxia County and Changsha County are under the complete control of our army. Liu Biao controlled Nanyang County, Zhangling County, Xiangyang County, Nan County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Lingling County. The strategic goal of our army this time is to occupy Jingzhou! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone talked about it. Although everyone knows that they are bound to use force against Jingzhou, but all of a sudden it is all in Jingzhou, is this movement a little too big? Does Soochow have such capabilities? Therefore, for a while, most of the people were still a little worried!

Gan Ning, who was dressed in armor, nodded slightly, and he agreed with the strategic goal this time.

This is related to his recent book, which detailed some of Gan Ning's views on the situation in the world, the most important of which is to seize Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, sit on the southern country, and compete for hegemony in the world.

In fact, Gan Ning is not a simple fighter. Although Gan Ning has a short temper, he is quite handsome, but Sun Quan doesn't know how to use people.

Gan Ning's strategic thinking is basically the same as Zhou Yu and Lu Su's thinking, and even to a certain extent, it is also 'consistent' with Sun Ce's thinking. In Sun Ce's view, the capture of the southern kingdom is only the first step, and if you want to have the qualification to dominate the world, Eastern Wu must occupy Guanzhong.

According to the relevant China, only by strengthening the momentum of Qin can it sweep the six countries and unify the eight wildernesses.

However, for the time being, let's get Jingzhou first.

Only when Jingzhou is done can we talk about Yizhou. Only by sitting in Yizhou can it be entered into Guanzhong. If you can't even handle Jingzhou, then Sun Ce can only be a prince in this life!

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong did not speak, the two already had a feeling, and Sun Ce did not want the two to speak more in the military. And just as the two vaguely felt, Sun Ce really didn't think much of these two people's military attainments.

To give a simple example, Bing Cao's reputation for Sun Shao in later generations is far inferior to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, but in terms of military ability alone, Jiangdong Erzhang is indeed inferior to Sun Shao.

In addition, before the Battle of Chibi in history, Zhang Zhao had a history of instigating Sun Quan to surrender, and Sun Ce naturally took this as a warning.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, one of them has a long history, and the other is engaged in sacrificial wine, on the surface, they are the most senior officials in the Wuhou shogunate, but in fact, they have little say in military affairs.

Of course, in order to appease these two, Sun Ce completely entrusted Zhang Zhao with the logistics supply. At the same time, Sun Ce also entrusted the appointment, dismissal and supervision of the officials under his rule to Zhang Hong.

In other words, Zhang Zhao was completely in charge of Kuracao and Tocao in the shogunate. And Zhang Zhao was completely in charge of the Gongcao and Facao in the shogunate. The rest of the discussion and soldiers were personally controlled by Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce did not let Jiangdong Erzhang touch the military, he could indeed be regarded as trusting in other aspects. So the two didn't have many complaints, after all, they had a specialization in the art industry, and the two of them were still very clear about their catties.

Sun Ce didn't mean to speak to everyone, this kind of military affairs can only come from the mouth of one person. Now that Sun Ce has given the order, there is no doubt that this is the authority of Wu Hou!

"Alright, don't talk about it. Everything is aimed at Jingzhou! Sun Ce said in a deep voice with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing Sun Ce's words, everyone also understood and didn't say anything more.

Shi Yi nodded and continued: "According to the statistics of the 'gate' of the three divisions, there are currently more than 100,000 combat forces under Liu Biao's command, half of which are recruits who have been trained for less than a year. After a pause, Shi Yi said again: "And the combat strength that our army can mobilize at present is nearly 100,000 people. In terms of strength, there is no gap between our army and the enemy. And in terms of combat effectiveness, our army is higher than the enemy! ”

As soon as Shi Yi's voice fell, Sun Ce's favorite general, Xu Sheng, the former protector of the forbidden army's 'servant' guard, said: "The combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army is indeed not very good, and the difficulty lies in attacking the city!" ”

Shi Yi knew that Xu Sheng was Sun Ce's favorite general, and he was not annoyed by Xu Sheng's 'interjection', but said with a smile: "As General Xu said, the biggest problem in attacking Jingzhou is to attack the city, so our army has prepared a large number of siege weapons, including 200 trebuchets and more than 100,000 oil bombs. ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded their heads. Everyone has seen the power of fire oil bombs before. With the help of fire and oil bombs, it is not a big problem compared to siege.

"The strength of the Jingzhou army is mainly in the hands of Wang Wei, Wen Ping, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Liu Pan, Zhang Yun, Liu Hu, Han Xi, and Pang Ji." Shi Yi raised his head, glanced at the generals who were eager to try, and continued: "In this attack, the troops are divided into three ways. All the way, it mainly attacked Xiangyang, Nanyang and Zhangling. All the way to attack South County. The last road is mainly to attack Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang. ”

After a pause, Shi Yi finally said: "The above is the details of this battle!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he coughed lightly, nodded, and said loudly: "Pass my order!" ”

"With Xu Sheng, the former protector of the forbidden army's 'servant' guard, as the governor of the North Route Army, he governed the Jiangxia County Governor Sun Ben, the Xiaoguo Zhonglang General Gan Ning, the Xiaocai Captain Zhang Liao, the trapping captain Gao Shun, the Hengjiang Captain Zhou Tai, the Fu 'Bo' Captain Jiang Qin, the Changshui Captain Sun Yu, and the 'Servant' Guards Captain Chen Wu, Li Shu, and Lu Dai's Division, and the waterways went hand in hand."

"With Huang Gai, the general of the forbidden army, as the left governor of the Central Route Army, and Han Dang, the general of the forbidden army, as the right governor of the middle route army, and the subordinates of Sun Fu, Sun He, and Pan Zhang, the lieutenants of the 'servant' guard, will advance by water."

"With Cheng Pu, the general of the forbidden army, as the governor of the Southern Route Army, he governed Chen Jian, the governor of Changsha County, and Wang Zhen, the governor of Luling County."

After the three generals, everyone in the hall was solemn.

Sun Ce swept over everyone with sharp eyes, and finally said in a deep voice: "I will personally lead Hu Ben Zhonglang to Tai Shici and Yulin Zhonglang to Huang Zhong's department, and postpone the battle!" ”
