With the words of the two, Chen Deng, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but speak: "This plan is good, but the conditions required are relatively high, I don't know if it can succeed?" ”

"Oh? What conditions? Wang Xu said curiously.

Chen Deng pondered for a moment, then replied: "Lord, this tactic is very good, but its prerequisite is the support of the people, if there is no strong support from the people, even if the soldiers lurking in the past have the help of spies, it will be difficult to succeed!" Although it is said that Liu Biao has lost the hearts of the people, it has not reached the point of anger and resentment, and it is still unknown whether the people will support it. If there is no help from the people, I am afraid that in practical action, it will be difficult. “

"Huh?"

Wang Xu really didn't think about this question, guerrilla tactics have always been one of the tactics used in his mind, but he never thought about the prerequisites that must be met. At this moment, I really have to rely on the people. Immediately couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Yuanlong's words are reasonable, if you don't get the support of the people of Jingbei, it's a lot of trouble." ”

"Try it anyway!" Guo Jia pondered for a long time and said categorically: "If it succeeds, there will be gains that are difficult to achieve with other tactics." Moreover, although the people of Jingbei may not support it vigorously, they will not obstruct it, and they can give it a go. And in the process, you can also win over the people and appease the people. For example, after a sudden attack, after taking a place, in addition to the necessary supplies, all the other treasury materials were distributed to the people, and the benevolence and righteousness of the lord were promoted. ”

"But what if it fails completely? There is a high probability that a soldier will die in vain. Chen Deng interrupted hesitantly.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and did not answer, but closed his eyes and pondered.

None of the people in the hall spoke, and the generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Wang Xu and Guo Jia fell into thinking, and the tent fell silent......

Time passed little by little, and when everyone was a little impatient, Guo Jiacai suddenly opened his eyes, and his face showed a hint of joy. "My lord. Pregnant! ”

"Oh?" Wang Xu was stunned. Hurriedly said: "Fengxiao, hurry up!" ”

"My lord, I don't think it's as good as this. If Liu Biao really chases and intercepts, and this plan completely fails, then come to a trick to make something out of nothing! ”

"Out of nothing?" Wang Xu glanced at Guo Jia suspiciously, and said a little uncertainly: "I don't know what to do?" ”

Guo Jia stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord! When this plan is implemented, General Jia Hua can lead a naval army to the north. And a secret letter informed Gao Shun of Yidao that he would send some small boats that could only carry people to quietly move to the Gangneung area. Make a fake impression that you want to smuggle in the Gangneung area. At this time, Liu Biao's army was extremely vigilant, and he must be very careful and strictly controlled. waited for a night of fatigue, but found out that it was fake, and he must slack off. ”

"And so many times. The enemy army is bound to be no longer vigilant, and when the time is ripe, let General Jia Hua personally lead the naval warships to dispatch, at that time the enemy army will not be able to distinguish the true from the false, and will definitely not send troops to meet the attack. You can take the opportunity to divide a warship and enter the hinterland of Jingbei from Zhangshui, a tributary of the Yangtze River upstream, as long as you make an appointment in advance. will be able to pick up the troops trapped in Jingbei. And the other army was as usual. Confuse Liu Biao. In this way, you can have no worries. ”

As Guo Jia's voice fell. Chen Deng thought about it, but he still couldn't help but answer: "But at that time, the information could not be effectively transmitted, what if the soldiers lurking in Jingbei were in trouble and could not get the news of the retreat location?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "You don't need to be notified at that time, you can inform the commanders of the various departments in advance, let them remember, if they can't survive, they will all break through and retreat, and lurk around the reserved location." On the fifteenth or twentieth day, if there is a ship to pick it up, it means that the shape is not good, and all of them retreat. If not, it means that our army has made a breakthrough, and these defeated troops do not need to worry too much, they just need to hide themselves. ”

This time, everyone didn't speak, and Guo Jia's plan really relieved all his concerns. If there is a way out, the soldier can have the bottom in his heart, and as for the loss, it is certain, and the main purpose of this move is only to calm the hearts of the soldiers.

After Wang Xu carefully calculated in his heart, he no longer had any doubts. His eyes slowly swept over the generals in the tent, but he felt that this was not good, and he hesitated for a moment before he smiled and asked, "I don't know who wants to take this important task!" ”

None of the generals spoke, their brows furrowed, apparently pondering whether they were capable of accomplishing this daunting task.

Just when the big tent seemed a little depressed, Xu Sheng took a deep breath and stood up suddenly: "Lord, the last general is willing to go!" ”

"Wen Xiang?" Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay!" However, this trip is very dangerous, everything must be cautious, think twice, safety first! ”

"No!" Xu Sheng replied with a resolute face.

Seeing this, Guo Jia thought about it, and also admonished: "General Xu, you don't need too many soldiers to go out this time, as long as you can form combat power." There are three criteria for selecting soldiers, and it is important to follow the order of priority. ”

"Advice from the military teacher." Xu Sheng is a very humble person, even if he turned his head to Guo Jia and bowed.

"I don't dare to give advice, it's just a little bit of advice."

Guo Jia smiled slightly, not verbose, and solemnly continued: "First, it is important to select soldiers with immediate family members in Jingnan. This ensures maximum loyalty, and also ensures that they will not compromise lightly in difficult situations! Second, give priority to well-disciplined soldiers, so that they can be easily commanded. Third, we should try to find someone who is as clever as possible to facilitate response. ”

"Sheng Ding should do it!" Xu Shengyan replied.

"Then without further ado, General Xu had better go and select strictly, in a group of two or three hundred people, be sure to discuss all kinds of secret contact methods, select suitable talents for responsibility, and be sure to be able to divide them like your fingers."

Wang Xu also nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Wen Xiang will go now, remember, safety first!" ”

"No!"

As Xu Sheng walked out of the tent with firm steps, Wang Xu smiled. "Hehe, Wen Xiang has always acted calmly, and it should be fine! But how do you send them there? ”

Guo Jia replied: "My lord, there are not many of them, and it is not difficult to smuggle them over. I know a place called Xiakou, which is a large township, and it is also the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River. It is more than 30 miles northeast of Shaxian, although there is no large ferry, but there is a shallow beach that is very suitable for ferrying, and if the number of people is small, it is completely possible to board the boat. Tomorrow night, we only need to make a big fuss to attract the attention of the enemy, and General Xu can lead his troops to take a light boat and quickly enter the Han River, so as to penetrate into the hinterland of Jingbei. ”

"Hmmm! In that case, I will write to Gao Shun later. Wang Xu smiled and nodded, seeing that this matter had been resolved, he didn't say anything more.

was about to change the topic and discuss other matters, but Guo Jia suddenly answered: "Lord, in fact, in addition to what happened just now, you should also attach a little to the letter. ”

"Oh? What comes with it? ”

Guo Jiaruo smiled meaningfully. "Have you ever thought that if General Xu succeeds in causing damage within the enemy's territory, then General Gao Shun has done a lot of useless work?"

Wang Xu looked at Guo Jia in confusion, and didn't understand the meaning for a while. After reorganizing the front and back, they all reacted and exclaimed: "Feng Xiao is trying to ......"

"Hahaha! Yes, it was a sneak attack on Gangneung! Guo Jia said calmly: "If General Xu succeeds, the shape will inevitably change greatly at that time, and the enemy army will be deeply worried about the rear square, and no one will pay attention to General Gao Shun's actions." I only thought that it was a tired tactic, and the real purpose was to cause damage within it, and wait for the morale of its army to be weakened. ”

"At this time, it is completely possible for General Jia Hua and General Gao Shun to take the opportunity to sneak into Zhangshui and land on the shore, and raid the rear of Jiangling with lightning speed, as long as it is sudden enough, it can be decided in a battle. At that time, we successfully opened the gap in Jingbei, and then we didn't have to worry about it! ”

"What a thing to make out of nothing! This plan is really in line with my wishes. Okay, that's it! ”

With Wang Xu's praise with joy, everyone also smiled, full of confidence in this victory over Liu Biao......

The plan went smoothly, and Xu Sheng took more than 3,000 people, divided into ten shares, and in addition to weapons and light armor, almost all of them were water, dry food, salt, and some flint. Divided into three groups in total, the calm and light civilian ships quickly advanced towards Zhangshui. And the river between Exian and Yi County is also extremely lively, the war drums roar, countless Jingnan soldiers rise and roar, the continuous warships are entrenched on the broad river, in the torch shines, like a lifelike fire dragon, the momentum is huge.

Liu Biaojun had suffered a loss, and it was late at night at the moment, so he did not dare to send warships to meet the attack, but only defended tightly, and arranged a large number of crossbowmen at the coastal landing points. The navy was all in position, ready to attack at any time on the battleship.

The two sides made a fuss all night, and Liu Biao hesitated and trembled. And Wang Xu was worried, for fear that something would happen to Xu Sheng. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the fast horse reported that Xu Sheng had landed along the Zhangshui and led his troops to land in several shallows in Zhijiang County, Nanjun, that Wang Xu finally breathed a long sigh of relief and decisively withdrew to Dazhai with his soldiers.

And Xu Sheng did not disappoint, and quickly dispersed in Liu Biao's territory, and with the full cooperation of the spy shadow, he destroyed it to his heart's content. In order to ensure the success of this plan, the three spy commanders of Shan Huai, Ling Wanqing, and Liang Rui personally sneaked to Jingbei to help Xu Sheng to the greatest extent at the moment they received Wang Xu's instructions.

It's just that the actions of the common people are somewhat unexpected, which is neither good nor good. In some areas, the people are extremely supportive, and in others, the people are extremely opposed, and even a lot of people have been damaged because of this, and the shape is very complicated.

Xu Sheng immediately made a decision to let all the troops withdraw from the unfriendly area, and according to the intelligence of the spy investigation, choose a suitable place to enter.

In just ten days, the shape of the north can be described as thrilling, changing again and again, and the information that came also made Wang Xu's heart pinch hard...... (To be continued.) )
