Zhang Jing was originally Guan Hai's apprentice, but with his rapid growth and his own talent, Guan Hai is gradually not suitable to be his master, although he is still slightly stronger than Zhang Jing, but he really wants to teach but doesn't know how to teach. Therefore, under Zhou Zhi's pleading, and Zhang Jing's personalities with Gao Shun are also very compatible, so he also worships Gao Shun as a teacher now.

Although the weapons that the two are good at are different, Gao Shun teaches people very well, and he can use other methods to guide others to comprehend and experience without teaching moves. He was able to teach people how to understand martial arts, not just art. So even though Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and other generals are stronger than him in martial arts, they are inferior to him in this aspect. You must know that the trapping camp directly under Gao Shun is always the best among the generals, and perhaps in the near future, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others will grow rapidly and catch up, but at least no one can compare with them at present.

It is precisely because Gao Shun and Zhang Jing have been masters and apprentices for a long time that they know each other well. This time, let the two go to Wuling together, just need their tacit understanding, although the master-apprentice relationship between Zhou Zhi and Gao Shun is longer, but Zhou Zhi is too slippery and surprisingly slippery, not as decent as Zhang Jing. And this strategy itself is already a dangerous move, and there must be stability in the danger, otherwise there is a mistake in one link, and the consequences are unimaginable, so Zhang Jing is the most suitable to follow Gao Shun in the past. Coupled with the fact that there are frustrated advisers who specialize in picking bones and looking for thorns, as well as the changes of Gao Shun and Wuling Taishou Wang Mastiff, there will definitely be nothing wrong with Wuling's side.

After seeing Gao Shun and Zhang Jing answering the order, they both looked a little excited, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, and admonished: "Gao Shun, Zhang Jing." The two of you are going this time, and you must ask for a stable word. If you don't have a great opportunity, you can't go to war in vain. If you can't do anything, you will drag it down and wait for reinforcements from our side. Regardless of whether you have won or not, as long as you can hold back the army led by Cai Mao and Wu Ju, you will be credited with great merit. ”

Hear the words. Gao Shun's face also sank instantly. solemnly clenched his fists and replied: "The lord can rest assured, the last general will ensure that Wuling is not lost." ”

"Hmmm! That's good. Then without further ado, the two of you will go to the barracks now to order troops and horses, and carry a small amount of grain and grass with you first, regardless of whether Hanshou can hold it or not, but Linruan, the Wuling County Mansion, must not be lost, and I will let people follow the grain and grass baggage. ”

"No!" The two of them replied. didn't hesitate, immediately turned around and strode out. Frustrated, who was originally sitting in the civil official column, did not dare to slack off, got up and saluted Wang Xu and everyone one after another, and followed out of the meeting hall.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the night outside the door that Wang Xu turned around and looked back at the generals. Swept around and looked around several times. The generals were extremely worried, not knowing who he wanted, and there were some faint expectations in their hearts. After all, it is now clear that the strategy has been set, and Wuling's side has adopted a conservative battle plan, so the decisive battlefield must be placed in Yuzhang.

In fact, Wang Xu was really hesitant, and the 20,000 people who went to Yuzhang would be the key to this battle. No sloppiness. Most importantly. People in the past should not only have rich experience in marching and fighting. Moreover, they must know the art of war well, be bold enough, have clever changes, dare to venture into danger to launch an offensive, and win by surprise. It's easy to find someone who is bold, but it's hard to find someone who is both clever and experienced. It can be said that no one has it for the time being.

In terms of experience, the second brother Wang Fei is the most abundant, but he is too rough, although he knows some scheming and the art of war, but he obviously does not meet the requirements. In terms of coincidence, Zhou Zhi can be called the most of them, and there are many singularities, can you rest assured that you can leave it to him?

After contemplating for a long time, Wang Xu finally slowly looked at Xu Huang, who had participated in the expedition against the Yellow Turban in his early years, although he had never commanded the army alone, and said softly: "Gongming! ”

"The last general!" Xu Huang was shocked and came out of the ranks.

After glancing at him deeply, Wang Xu said lightly: "You already know what the situation is like, what the strategy is, you should also understand, I won't say more here." And your temperament, I also understand, is neither a person who is greedy for merit, nor a person who boasts, so I will ask you now, if you are asked to lead troops to Yuzhang, how sure are you? ”

Hearing this, Xu Huang was shocked and immediately lowered his head. The entire conference hall was also silent, no one expected Wang Xu to ask so frankly, and they knew that Xu Huang was difficult to answer. After all, even the specific strength and configuration of the enemy's army are not completely clear, so how can it be deduced with any certainty? If the answer is too high, then the words are full, Wang Xu has already said the evaluation in his heart before, if the words are full and he can't do it, it will definitely make Wang Xu lose trust from now on.

"Five floors!" Just when everyone was a little worried about Xu Huang, two words slowly popped out of his mouth, his head was raised, and his godly eyes looked at Wang Xu without flinching.

As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall were stunned for a moment, and they didn't figure out what Xu Huang thought, why did he say such a low number, they were only five layers to grasp, how could this battle be fought? Only a few people such as Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Zhao Yun had their eyes lit up and seemed to have understood.

In fact, Wang Xu's actions were not really to ask Xu Huang how many layers he was sure of, but to investigate his heart. If he directly said that he was ten levels sure, he would definitely choose to change people immediately. Because it means that he didn't use his brain when he said this, either the person is stupid, or he is a lie. As long as the generals who know a little about the army know the truth that the plan is in the people and the success is in the sky, who can have ten layers of certainty?

Flying General Li Guang can be regarded as a rare civil and military master, but his luck is too bad, and he has not always lost the battle. Either he got lost inexplicably, or he happened to be surrounded by the main force of the people when there was no calculation on both sides, and even more, he was the vanguard, and the enemy was led, but the main force behind got lost and failed to keep up, and the guide was surrounded by more than 100,000 Hun iron horsemen.

And now this situation is not to mention, I don't even understand the enemy's situation at all, and I can have ten layers of certainty just by just a few words, which is pure nonsense.

If it is conservatively said that there are seven or eight layers, it is a general appearance, indicating that he has really thought about it, but he has not told the truth, that is, he has made meritorious contributions. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but the current Yuzhang-shaped shì is not suitable for a fierce general who is eager to make meritorious contributions, but needs a wise and brave general who can look at the situation objectively and plan in the most calm way.

As for saying too low, it means that he has no confidence at all, and even has no intention of leading troops over, so what kind of battle is there to fight?

So, in fact, these five layers are the most suitable. In the case of not knowing the enemy's situation, the fifth layer not only represents self-confidence, but also highlights that he has calmly thought about the enemy's situation. That's why it's half and half. Especially after the five layers are spoken. It also means that Xu Huang didn't care about anything else, but told the truth, showing an objective and practical mentality, without any other thoughts, such a general is worthy of entrusting him with a big responsibility.

Of course, if Xu Huang deliberately said this because he saw through his thoughts. That's even better. It can be seen that the meticulousness and delicacy of his mind are naturally more reassuring.

Just when everyone thought that Wang Xu would transfer other generals because of this answer, Wang Xu's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, and just when everyone thought that they would definitely choose another person on the spot, Wang Xu suddenly laughed. "It's a five-story story. In this case, then I will let you be the main general, Zhou Zhi as the deputy, Tian Feng will participate in your military, command 20,000 troops, cross the mountain road from Liling County in the south to Yuzhang Yichun, and then rush to Chaisang to reinforce Lai Gong, and the whole county of Yuzhang will be temporarily controlled by you. It can be uniformly deployed. ”

"No!" Xu Huang didn't say anything. With Wang Xu's words, he immediately bowed. Loud answered.

However, Zhou Zhi didn't react for a long time, and sat in his place stupidly, knowing that when everyone was looking at him, he still blinked in disbelief, pointed to his chest and said, "Me? ”

"It's you, what? Do you still want to disobey? Wang Xu glanced at him and smiled.

"Don't ......" was confirmed by Wang Xu, sure that he had heard it correctly, Zhou Zhi was suddenly overjoyed, but he never thought that he would have his share, he jumped up from his seat suddenly, and saluted: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Huh!" Seeing his happy appearance, Wang Xu couldn't help but shake his head, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Zhi, this time you asked you to assist Xu Huang in the past because you don't stick to the old rules and have a lot of singularities. This time, I also made an exception, in extraordinary times, you are allowed to do extraordinary things, but the premise is that you must consider the aftermath, don't go too far, and leave a mess. Otherwise, you will never have the opportunity to command the army again. ”

"Don't worry! Boss, I'm not going to make a mess. Zhou Zhi immediately nodded again and again.

"Hmmm! Okay, then you can go down and prepare now. As he spoke, Wang Xu had already waved his hand and threw the token stamped with the general's seal to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was about to turn around and leave, but Zhou Zhi suddenly asked, "Boss, can you order the Green Dragon Knight?" ”

"No way!" Wang Xu immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "The official road to Yuzhang has to be detoured from the north, and now that Liu Biao has called, it can't be done at all." Therefore, you can only walk from the small roads of Xiajun County or Liling County, the mountain roads are rugged, and even the grain and grass can't be transported, and the supply is insufficient, how can you still bring a large number of cavalry? It can only be a foot pawn. ”

"Then won't we be able to get through our own part?" Zhou Zhi was suddenly surprised. He hadn't seen the trail for himself, so he wasn't very clear about it.

"Not necessarily, I went to inspect that path at the end of last year, if you are reluctant, it should still be okay, but it must be slower than the infantry, this is up to you, if you really can't get through, you can only let them stay in Linxiang to guard their homes."

Saying that, Wang Xu looked at Zhou Zhi, but said with a meaningful smile: "Moreover, because the grain and grass will definitely not be able to be transported, you must let the soldiers carry more than five days of dry food with them, and then replenish them after arriving in the territory of Yuzhang, Yuzhang's reserves should still be very rich, if it is really not enough, it can only depend on your means, so the task this time is very arduous." ”

Zhou Zhi didn't understand what Wang Xu meant, and immediately nodded solemnly: "The last general understands." ”

"Good! Go ahead! ”

This time, Xu Huang and Zhou Zhi didn't say anything more, looked at each other and smiled, and left the conference hall quickly, and Tian Feng also followed.

With the departure of the six people one after another, the conference hall also seemed to be a lot empty, and it seemed a little deserted. Wang Xu's eyes slowly swept a glance at everyone, and after confirming that the important things had been assigned, he stopped being verbose, and immediately issued the rest of the orders in one breath: "Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao!"

"In!" The two of them rose in response.

"Order the two of you to lead five thousand green dragon knights as the vanguard, gallop overnight to help Xia Jun County, if the situation is unclear, don't take it lightly, and wait for the army to arrive." Wang Xu shouted.

"No!" Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao didn't dare to slack off, so they grabbed the token thrown by Wang Xu, bowed their hands, and left quickly with a stern face.

"Where is Yang Feng!"

"In!"

"Order your governor Gao Shunjun and our army to transport and supply grain and grass, and urgently transfer the security forces of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties to your command, and ensure that all battalions are in order. The logisticians and doctors must also be organized as much as possible, and if it exceeds ten days, they will be punished! ”

"No!"

"Bing Cao is engaged in public enmity and claims to sit in Linxiang and temporarily represent Jingnan affairs. Wei Cao Peng Chen Deng led 5,000 foot soldiers to garrison Linxiang, and dispatched reinforcements at any time according to the shape of the front line. Shu Cao is engaged in Huan compilation, responsible for the dispatch and supply of grain and grass materials. It is necessary to cooperate well with Yang Feng. Whoever has a problem is responsible, and if there is a problem with coordination, they will be held accountable at the same time. The thief Cao Peng and Liu Yi will issue a curfew order from tomorrow, and all areas in Jingnan will be subject to curfew, and no talk about war will be allowed or confusion will be carried out. Anyone who spreads rumors or behaves abnormally will be detained, and the spy must fully cooperate. The rest of the officials perform their duties and must not be neglected. The generals immediately followed me to the barracks and prepared for battle. ”

"No!"

As the crowd responded. Wang Xu didn't say anything more, stood up suddenly, shook the robe behind him, and strode out. Xu Shu, who was fully armed, and Dian Wei, who was standing behind him, also followed. Everyone had already gotten up at this moment, but no one dared to compete with Wang Xu for the first place, and they all bowed down and waited for them to leave first. It wasn't until Wang Xu's feet stepped out of the door of the chamber that they took steps. Automatically split into two columns. Immediately followed.

Because of the urgency of the shape, Wang Xu couldn't bother to say goodbye to Diao Chan. rushed to the barracks with the generals. It's just that these tens of thousands of troops can't be transferred, and the military camps in Linxiang are divided into four, which are in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the outer city, and each military camp has 20,000 people.

Therefore, when they arrived, Gao Shun and Zhang Jing, who were the first to leave, were still rushing to organize the colonel to count the people and prepare the necessary items. But at this time, there was no time to say more to them, after Wang Xu arrived at the west camp where the main tent was located, he immediately buried his head in the copywriting and checked the current information of the army, while the generals were scattered, and each of them quickly assembled the soldiers in the wilderness outside the city in an orderly manner.

Despite all the hard work, by the time the army set out, the sky was already dark. However, the Chinese army led by Wang Xu was the last to be dispatched, and even the five thousand green dragon knights of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had already left two quarters of an hour ago, and the earliest Gao Shun and Zhang Jing had been gone for an hour.

While they are busy here, the spy department is not easy, this war is the largest in Jingnan, and even because of the mistake of the spy shadow, this leads to the current passivity. In this regard, although Shan Huai, Ling Wanqing, and Liang Rui did not show any special expressions, they were very angry in their hearts, and they were eager to make new deployments, hoping to find out the latest information and send it to the army in time. Of course, the ministers did not ease down, and they did not go home at all after receiving the order, and quickly passed on the officials to return to their posts and rush to work overnight. The entire general's front mansion was brightly lit all night, and people came and went......

At noon the next day, when Wang Xu rushed to Luo County, more than 100 miles north of Linxiang, to rest, the intelligence of the spy was the first to be sent at noon the next day. They passed fast horses from each other to various strongholds, kept their horses galloping at high speed, and did not need to rest, and traveled hundreds of miles a day, of course countless times faster than the march of the great army.

Although the details of the information are still far from Wang Xu's requirements, there is a specific number, and I have a bottom in my heart.

Liu Biao dispatched almost all the forces of Jingbei this time, at least 90,000 people, and only left more than 10,000 people to garrison Xinye to guard against Nanyang Yuan Shu. Out of Shaxian, attacking Changsha all the way, about 50,000 people. There are almost more than 20,000 people on the right side of the Pheasant County to fight Yuzhang and the left side of the Wuling Army, and there are also 30,000 elite naval troops formed in the early stage. However, this is only an approximation, the exact number is not detailed, and it is not entirely certain.

But no matter what, such a number finally made Wang Xu breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Liu Biao's military strength is not as strong as imagined, and with more than 90,000 people, it is not too difficult to fight. But in summary, this should also be Liu Biao's limit, Jingnan is already struggling to supply these 80,000 horses, although Jingbei is richer, but there is no Nanyang, it is enough to support so many people. If Liu Biao kills himself, the first thing he must do is disarmament!

However, Wang Xu was not happy for long, it was only an hour after receiving the spy information, and he was about to find a place to take a nap, but he suddenly got a very, very bad news. Wei Yan, the vanguard of the middle road army, rushed to Xia Jun one step ahead of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. The Xia Jun County Commander did not make any resistance, and fled to Baqiu, the naval army base in the west, with the security forces. Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were also sleepy at the moment, obeying Wang Xu's orders, they didn't dare to go up to call for battle, and retreated to Luo County.

In this regard, Wang Xu was also very helpless, but there was nothing he could do. As for the county order of Xiajun County, it cannot be blamed, because there are only less than 200 local security forces in Xiajun County, and the weapons and equipment are all old armor, and they are not elite soldiers, plus there is no equipment to defend the city, how can it be possible to block the strong attack of Liu Biao's army, a few rounds of charges will be over, and retreating is also a good way, so as not to sacrifice in vain, and spend a lot of money to compensate afterwards.

But the loss was expected, and it was not caught off guard. After sending a sentry to send an order, let Song Qian and Jia Hua, who were still in Baqiu, shrink their army back to Dazhai and lead their troops to defend Baqiu City, when Guo Jia, who had just fallen asleep, called up and told him the situation.

Because of the overnight march, he couldn't get rest, Guo Jia's deep and wise eyes were also bloodshot at the moment, but he was in good spirits. After listening to Wang Xu's narration quietly, he immediately said loudly: "Lord, in fact, this is a good thing. ”

"Oh? How so? Wang Xu said in surprise.

Guo Jia said without hesitation: "In terms of time, it is impossible for Liu Biao's army to catch up so fast, a full 50,000 people, if he can have such a marching speed, then his soldiers are not fleshy." The subordinates can be sure that it must be his vanguard cavalry who is currently in the lower ranks, and they must be equally sleepy now. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought about it, but he also agreed with this statement, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "But even so, aren't we also sleepy?" Is it still possible to fight him now? ”

"Huh! Could it be that the lord has forgotten Baqiu's 20,000 sailors? Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Trolls? Can they fight on foot? Wang Xu said worriedly.

Guo Jia suddenly smiled and said: "Foot combat is definitely no problem, but because of the different equipment of the naval army, it is definitely not possible to fight with the heavily armed infantry on the frontal battlefield." ”

"Isn't that nonsense? You can't fight head-on, so what's the use? Now that Wei Yan occupies Xia Jun, if he doesn't come out, what else can he do? Because there were only Guo Jia and himself in the room at the moment, Wang Xu spoke more directly.

"The lord misunderstood, the intention of his subordinates is not to let the navy participate in the land battle." Guo Jia shook his head, glanced at Wang Xu, and then smiled slowly: "If the subordinates are right, Liu Biao's main army should have just crossed the river not long ago."
