Chapter 679: Go south to Changsha
"Sun Quan's biggest weakness is that he attaches too much importance to feelings."
Coincidentally, in the current Jingzhou, the Demon Gate Base, Dou Yuru and others are also discussing Sun Quan.
"Cihang Jingzhai, iron will definitely find a way to stop Sun Quan, they can't do it on the frontal battlefield, so they can only play some intrigues. It's just that cheap girl is in Jiangdong, and it's too easy to do things behind her back. ”
Dou Yuru said,
"Sun Quan, this kid, has the talent to be an emperor and the life to be an emperor, but he doesn't want to be an emperor. For the sake of the future of my demon gate, I can't say it, we have to push him behind the back! ”
"How can I help?" Asked below.
Dou Yuru's eyes flickered,
"I'm just saying what I know, and as for how to help, it's a matter of bringing you here today for you to consider. In short, this attack on Jingzhou must be done once and for all, and we must not give up halfway! Dou Yuru said.
"According to the Venerable Lord, Cihang Jingzhai is likely to make a fuss about Sun Quan's relatives, but at this moment, if we want to send someone to protect it, I'm afraid it's too late, and besides, the people of the Sun family will not be willing to let us protect it." At the bottom, Zhang Ning spoke first, "So, in my opinion, protection can't be protected, it will only make us very passive, in this case, it is better not to invest energy in this area." Our purpose is just to keep Sun Quan from rushing back to Jiangdong. ”
"You mean, blocking messages?" Dou Yuru asked.
"Nope." Zhang Ning shook his head, "With Sun Quan's means, the news can't be blocked." And even if we can block it, Liu Biao's side will definitely find a way to make things bigger. Any news that may affect Sun Quan will be full of wind and rain in the city. ”
"So?"
"So, my proposal is that we get ahead of the crowd and spread the rumors. As long as you can think of it, all kinds of rumors will do. And these rumors, we don't need how to operate, Jingzhou will also find a way to help us spread it, even if Sun Quan investigates it afterwards, he can't find us, he just thinks it's the enemy's strategy to disrupt the morale of the army! Zhang Ning explained.
"Good way!" Dou Yuru was overjoyed, she thought that Li Ru was dead, and the demon general had no brains, but now it seems that Zhang Ning still has a lot of ideas, and she really deserves to be Zhang Jiao's daughter, "If you hear too many rumors, people will naturally slack off." At that time, even if there is really any news coming over, it will not be taken seriously! ”
"Elder Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you! But all the people or things that Sun Quan may care about, all of them are arranged, and I want to make that kid unable to sleep for the next few days! ”
"Yes."
"In addition, if you want to push Sun Quan behind your back, it's not just about seizing Jingzhou. Taking advantage of Sun Quan's inseparability in the foreign campaign this time, Sun Ce must be found out! You all know very well what the consequences will be when Sun Ce comes back! Dou Yuru squinted her eyes and said, last time, Sun Ce, who had been completely offended by the Demon Gate, Sun Ce was not Cao Cao, with Sun Ce's character, once he returned, he would inevitably destroy the Demon Gate!
"But my lord, once it takes a large-scale action, it will inevitably leak again." reminded next to him.
"You don't have to search for it this time, just keep an eye on Zhou Yu for me." Dou Yuru said.
"Zhou Yu? Hasn't he been trying to rescue 'Sun Ce' from us? He said.
Dou Yuru smiled coldly,
"I've been with Sun Quan for so long, and I've learned a truth, smart people, you can't understand many of his actions. If you understand it, it's likely that he deliberately made you understand it. ”
Dou Yuru said.
"So, Zhou Yu actually knew that the hostage in our hands was fake, and he did it on purpose to show us?!" The side exclaimed.
"Quite possibly." Dou Yuru nodded, "Zhou Yu is a smart person, if he really wants to save people, he will never startle the snake." The reason why he deliberately made a disturbance is that I think he should have deliberately diverted our attention, and he himself may have already found the real Sun Ce! In short, keep an eye on Zhou Yu, if we are sure, we will take action ourselves, if we are not sure, then quietly disclose the news to some people, and there are many people who want Sun Ce's life. ”
????????????
On this side,
"Lord, why don't we go straight to Xiangyang along the Han River? If you take it by surprise, you will definitely win. As long as Liu Biao is destroyed, who else dares not to surrender in the seven counties of Jingzhou? Ling Cao asked.
"Follow the Han River to Xiangyang? Please, that's against the current, the speed of the boat can't be how fast, and you have to pass through the Jingling Tomb halfway, how to win by surprise? Don't underestimate Cai Mao's army. Sun Quan replied.
"What about going overland?" The newly joined Gan Ning opened his map and said, "We can go to Huarong first, capture Jiangling in Nanjun, and then go north, take Changban Slope, and go straight to Xiangyang!" Lord, I am familiar with this road, and I would rather be a pioneer! ”
Sun Quan rolled his eyes,
"I said, will you underestimate Liu Biao too much? Although strategically, we should despise the enemy, but don't think that we will drift away after a few victories with me. Sun Tzu has a saying in the Art of War: Know yourself and know your opponent. Not only to know the other, but more importantly, to know how many pounds and taels you have, don't feel that there is no one in the world! Sun Quan said.
"The Lord is taught." Everyone replied, as for whether they listened to it or not, it is unknown whether they thought Sun Quan was too cautious.
"Now, everyone thinks that we will go north to attack Xiangyang, and Liu Biao will inevitably gather troops and horses to shrink the defensive line. At this time, it was unwise to storm Xiangyang, so we did not go north, but instead of going south, we chose to go south. Sun Quan explained,
"To the south of Xiakou, it is Changsha County, my father was in Changsha back then, and he had a high reputation, and now Changsha Taishou is also an old acquaintance (Zhang Zhongjing), Zhang Zhongjing is a medical master, not good at using soldiers, he can't bear to be killed and injured, as soon as I go, he will definitely open the door and surrender."
"After taking control of Changsha County, do two things: first, Zhang Zhongjing's Zhang family, the whole family moved to Wu County, Hua Tuo doesn't know if he can save his life, Zhang Zhongjing must stay in Jiangdong! Second, with the power of Changsha County, send people to the south bank of Xiakou, on the Huanghu Mountain, build a strong city, and open up the passage on the land south of Xiakou, from now on, our Jiangdong army will directly pass through Xiakou along the south of the Yangtze River, and Xiakou will no longer be the difficulty that plagues my Jiangdong! Sun Quan said.
"But my lord, will this put the cart before the horse? As long as we break through Xiangyang and stand upstream, it doesn't matter if Xiakou is difficult or not? Dong Xi couldn't help but ask.
"First of all, we didn't attack Xiangyang directly, if there was no action in Xiakou, Liu Biao could have attacked Xiakou and cut off our back road. Casting a city on the south bank of Xiakou and guarding the land passage on the south bank can cut off Liu Biao's idea of sneaking up on Xiakou. Second, not to mention that Xiangyang has not been laid yet, even if it is defeated, whether it can be controlled for a long time in the future. My biggest reliance in Jiangdong has always been the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and we cannot leave the slightest chance for future enemies! Sun Quan said seriously.
