Chapter 382: Sit back and wait for Sima Yi to take the bait
Although his heart was happy, Liu Feng knew that this time was not the same as before, and the danger was still there.
For example, Deng Ai failed to resist Xu Huang in Gucheng. Or Jiangdong suddenly sent troops to attack Jiujiang, or Huang Zhong could not break through Guiyang and Lingling two counties on time.
It's a very dangerous thing. This time, it's not a one-sided enemy.
But danger also means opportunity, and if this battle is successful, it will successfully eliminate Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and even Wuxi.
The three counties of Jingnan, which would have taken a year and a half to conquer, can be obtained in only March or April.
If you can get it, you have to thank Sima Yi. What a hassle for him.
Thinking about it, Liu Feng smiled slightly. Calming down, he said his thoughts to Xu Zheng, Zhang Dao, and Huo Jun who were present.
"My lord, this is too risky. If 50,000 barbarians broke through Changsha, what should it do? The lord sits on three counties and is powerful, so there is no need to confront the barbarians for the gains and losses of one city and one place. Xu Zheng was in a hurry when he heard this, and said bitterly.
Again, that means, avoid the edge for the time being.
Liu Feng did not annoy Xu Zheng's words of retreat, because in the eyes of many people, temporarily avoiding the edge is conducive to development. It does not mean that Xu Zheng is cowardly or unreliable.
"I have already decided on this matter. Xu Taishou didn't need to say anything. Liu Feng shook his head and said to Xu Zhengdao very clearly.
Seeing the expression on Liu Feng's face and his determined gaze, Xu Zheng also knew that it was useless to say more. Liu Feng has already decided, and the only thing in front of him is to cooperate as much as possible.
"In that case, please allow me to go down and arrange first, and prepare to gather the people to defend the city." Xu Zheng raised his fist and said in a deep voice.
Liu Feng nodded happily, sure enough, he was not mistaken, although he disagreed, Xu Zheng was also the kind of person who would fully cooperate when the situation was set.
"Prepare as many equipment as you can to defend the city." Liu Feng nodded and said.
"No." Xu Zheng quickly responded, then got up in a hurry and walked out.
After Xu Zheng left, only Liu Feng, Zhang Dao, and Huo Jun were left in the study.
Liu Feng set his sights on Huo Jun, who was the key figure in defeating the barbarians. After Liu Feng said the plan, this key person has a thoughtful glint in his eyes. It's supposed to be something being calculated.
"How's that, Zhong Miao. The barbarians have an army of 50,000, and you have only 5,000 troops, and a city of people, and a tall and generous city. Can it be held? Liu Feng asked with a smile.
As soon as Liu Feng's words fell, Huo Jun put away the light in his eyes.
He was really calculating just now, okay or not. Liu Feng had the grace of knowing him, and when he first came to Jiangxia, he became a Sima of another department, guarding one side.
Therefore, over the years, Huo Jun has been very dedicated to what he does. Army, city walls. All trained well. Especially the city wall, because there is always a strong threat of Tai Shi Ci in the east.
Therefore, Huo Jun repaired the city wall to be extremely tall and strong. Not to mention anything else, just relying on this tall city wall, Huo Jun had the confidence to resist the attack of the barbarians.
But how long it will be, but there is no way to calculate.
This has a lot to do with the momentum, the situation, and the support of the people.
At present, his own momentum is there, and Liu Feng, the lord of the three counties, is here. The support of the people is even stronger.
Liu Feng saved countless people in Changsha in natural disasters. When the plague broke out, it was also treated in time. And calm the price of grain, and kill the strong.
All kinds of measures have made the people of Changsha have an unusual love for Liu Feng.
Huo Jun has read a lot of biographies and knows that if some people are officials in one side and benefit the locality, when they leave office, hundreds of people will follow.
And Huo Jun believes that if Liu Feng has to give up Changsha, there must be countless Changsha people who are willing to follow him to live in Jiangxia.
Therefore, the momentum and the support of the people are not a problem, and the next thing is the situation. However, the situation on the battlefield is always changing. Who can see it?
Huo Jun laughed at himself in his heart, he only needed to answer the lord's question now, whether he could stop the 50,000 barbarians.
"If it is only 50,000 barbarians, the last general will rely on the benefits of the city and can hold it for at least five months." Huo Jun pondered for a moment and spoke.
Huo Jun knows that there is no room for modesty on the battlefield. If it is a modest one, if Liu Feng makes a mistake in judgment, it may cause a big mistake.
Therefore, these five months are the shortest period for Huo Jun to defend the city after calculation. I don't know how long it will be able to hold on to it.
Five months? Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction, he knew that Huo Jun was a very cautious person, and an imprudent person would generally not become a famous general who was famous for defending the city.
So, five months is absolutely fine.
As long as Huang Zhong can break through Guiyang and Lingling two counties within these five months, he will be able to go north and fight with Pang Tong to break through the army of the three counties together.
This battle can be won. Liu Feng must be in his heart.
"That's good." Liu Feng nodded and said, and then said: "Go down and prepare, if you have any difficulties, you can tell Xu Zheng directly." Next, the whole city will cooperate with you in defense. ”
"No." Huo Jun answered calmly, got up and left the study.
"My lord." After Huo Jun left, Liu Feng fell into deep thought, thinking about it, what else could be added to this battle. Until a sentence woke Liu Feng up.
"What?" Liu Feng then remembered that Zhang Dao was still in the study, looked up, and said.
"According to the lord's strategy, then Jiangdong must be guarded against. Do we hold down the grain, don't exchange it with Jiangdong for the time being, and let Jiangdong throw a rat trap? Zhang Dao raised his fists.
At present, it is not a secret that Jiangdong and Jiangxia exchange Shanyue prisoners, as well as food. The generals of Jiangdong are still going deep into the Senshan to exterminate Shanyue and supplement Liu Feng's appetite, 600,000 Shanyue people. However, Zhou Yu stayed, firmly stationed in Yuzhang, and confronted Jiujiang.
Zhang Dao's method of using food to contain Jiangdong, Liu Feng thought about it slightly in his heart, but still shook his head and said, "No." If the grain is contained, it means that we are afraid of Jiangdong, that is, we are empty, and with the surname of Zhou Yu, we may immediately raise troops. Pay for one's whistle. ”
"You can't control the food, but you have to do it as usual." Liu Feng added another sentence.
Zhang Dao thought about Liu Feng's words in his heart, and was shocked into a cold sweat. If it was really as Liu Feng said, Zhou Yu would immediately raise troops, then he would become a sinner.
"I didn't think it well, and I ask the lord to punish me." Zhang Dao raised his head and said guiltily.
"If you have nothing to do, if you don't do anything, it reminds me of something." Liu Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said.
With Zhang Dao's ability, it is already good to be able to serve as a county guard now, and Liu Feng does not expect him to become a qualified advisor.
"Koto really has to be guarded against. Drafting of instruments. When Huang Zhong sent out his troops, he chose to be at night. Food or something, try to keep a low profile, don't let Jiangdong's spies listen to the rumors. Saying that, Liu Feng paused, and said: "Also, immediately let Deng Ai lead the three thousand people of the headquarters into Gucheng and prepare to defend against Xu Huang." Pang unified 10,000 people, marched into Hanshou, and confronted the soldiers and horses of the three counties. ”
The drafting of the document was supposed to be the matter of Liu Ba, the main book, but the matter was urgent, and Liu Ba did not follow here, so Liu Feng could only hand it over to Zhang Dao.
Zhang Dao saw that Liu Feng was not to blame, and he was both relieved and a little guilty in his heart. Warn yourself to be less in the field you are not good at in the future, and to export casually.
"No." For Liu Feng's order, Zhang Dao responded and left quickly.
After Zhang Dao left, Liu Feng fell into deep thought.
In this battle, the layout has been completed. But everything else is false, and Liu Feng believes that Sima Yi has understood it thoroughly before sending out the army.
The only killer move is Huo Jun. In other words, it will definitely win by a big margin.
But Liu Feng still thought about it very cautiously to see if there was anything to add. In the end, nothing was added.
It's a pity that there is no one around now, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Xu Shu, Liu Ba, or the county guard, or the main book. or in Jiangxia, or in conscription, not in Changsha.
These people are not there, and Liu Feng is somewhat uncertain in his heart.
However, on the other hand, it also aroused Liu Feng's blood surname, just like when he was just drifting out of Xinye, evil was born to the side of the guts and killed in Jiangxia.
At that time, there were no celebrities around.
Let's fight one. Let Sima Yi return with a fiasco, you can't just talk about it. Liu Feng clenched his fists. The fierceness in his eyes flashed.
Evil is born to the side of the guts. Remembering the moment he killed Huang Zu, Liu Feng's heart was full of enthusiasm.
…………
Wancheng. In the past, Wancheng was a very large city, not only the outer wall, but also the people in the city, which was very large and prosperous.
But after Liu Feng's fire.
The city is charred and uninhabited. Even the outer walls have been damaged quite a bit.
Since Xu Huang led the elite soldiers to Wancheng, he first repaired the city walls, and then built houses, and a few months later, people moved into Wancheng from all over the Central Plains.
Only now has I recovered a little bit of vitality. But this is a world of difference compared with the heyday of Wancheng.
As the new guardian of Wancheng, Xu Huang has no good impression of Liu Feng.
And Xu Huang's goal was also to raise troops to attack Jiangxia's six cities in the north of the Yangtze River. to avenge the revenge of Wancheng.
Xu Huang is burly and rugged-looking, because of his surname, he is not a very talkative person, nor is he a pleasant person. But its prestige is very high.
Whether it is in his own army, or in Cao Ying's entire power group.
The entire Cao Ying force will be many and wide. And it is not unreasonable that Xu Huang can be listed as a famous general, and he is called the fifth son with Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw, Yu Ban, Le Jin, etc.
When Sima Yi's letter came, Xu Huang felt that this battle was in response to the mandate of heaven, and he also followed his heart's surname.
gave him the opportunity to attack the six cities of Jiangbei in order to avenge his hatred.
In the general's mansion, in the study, Xu Huang held Sima Yi's letter in his hand, and suddenly stood up and said: "Raise 12,000 troops and attack Gucheng with all your might." ”
The sound is strong and the momentum is amazing.
These five sons will move, what is the king of 50,000 barbarians. What three counties and 30,000 troops are much inferior.
