Gangneung,

Sun Quan didn't rush to attack this time, he knew very well that the more regular the battle, the more unfortunate it was. First of all, Gangneung is a city, not just a stronghold of Xiakou before; Secondly, in today's situation, the Gangneung guards only dare to defend and do not dare to attack.

It can be said that Sun Quan's attack on Jiangling is equivalent to a rehearsal for the attack on Xiangyang, which is a real siege battle! The only difference is that attacking Gangneung will be a little easier.

During this time, Sun Quan used the skill of allowing me to think twice every day to conduct various temptations. The first two skills were used on the Gangneung side to test the strength of the guards of Gangneung City, the number of shifts, and the size of the combat power. The third skill, in order to save the emergency will be left until the evening, so Sun Quan will use the existing cards in the card game to test Liu Biao, including the hands of other generals in Liu Biao's camp, trying to find the most efficient and most damaging way to play the cards.

Moreover, since Sun Quan's goal is Gangneung, not Xiangyang, he can actually try to attack the Gangneung defender in the game. But from the overall situation, Sun Quan must also set up a situation on Liu Biao's side to prevent Liu Biao from sending troops to help, and only by turning Jiangling into an isolated city can the Jiangdong army win the victory at the lowest cost.

How to choose, how to distribute the hand, this is exactly the strategy that Sun Quan has been pondering for this time.

However, before Sun Quan could find the perfect plan, a news that shocked the world came - Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a war!

There must be a battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, this kind of thing is known to many people, but when they really hear the news, it still makes everyone's hearts condense. Everyone knows very well that if the original world is just a small local fight, with the gradual expansion of the power of several princes, in the future Central Plains, I am afraid that the field will be a bloody fight between giants!

At the beginning, it was Sun Quan who broke through Xiakou and stimulated Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Now, Yuan Shao went to war with Cao Cao, which in turn stimulated Sun Quan.

Can't wait any longer!

So Sun Quan made a quick decision, using his hand, in the game at the same time to Liu Biao and Jiangling guards, although it did not cause much damage to the two, but caught off guard, has allowed Sun Quan to occupy a lot of advantage.

Sun Quan gave an order, Cheng Pu led the Jiangdong Army to attack on all fronts, and soon, Jiangling was surrounded on all sides and became an isolated city.

Moreover, this time, Sun Quan changed his normal behavior, unlike his usual style, he first carried out a coercive and tempting move to surrender to Jiangling, and it was a fierce attack as soon as he came up!

Sun Quan, who had experienced the illusion simulation in advance, knew very well that Jiangling, who was already holding on to the death, would not simply surrender, and the longer the time dragged on, it would give the Jiangling guard, who had been secretly injured by Sun Quan, recovery time, and also give Xiangyang Liu Biao time to react.

Sun Quan sat on the front line and personally commanded the Battle of Jiangling, and at the same time, gave an order to Gan Ning in Changsha to attack Zhang Xian. In addition, Sun Quan also wrote a letter back to Jiangdong, adjusted the troops, recovered the front in the Huainan Valley north of the Yangtze River, made a defensive posture, and gradually shifted the center of gravity of the entire Jiangdong troops to the south, and instructed Zhang Zhao to select a team of messengers who could speak well and were not afraid of danger, and went to Jiaozhou to recruit Shixie.

Sun Quan recycled the front, one is to help Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao has no worries and can deal with Yuan Shao wholeheartedly; The second is to exaggerate the prestige, show it to the Shixie in the south, and cooperate with the envoy's surrender. If Shi Xie dared not cooperate, then he would have to bear the risk of the Jiangdong army going directly south to Jiaozhou. In addition, as long as Shi Xie can be frightened, on Jingnan's side, Gan Ning can face Zhang Xian with less risk. Sun Quan believes that as long as there is no secret help from Shi Xie, how can Zhang Xian, a nobody, be the opponent of the famous Gan Ning!

Third, Sun Quan recovered the troops on the northern front, and there was one more elite soldier available for mobilization at any time, which was not only a threat to Jiaozhou in the south, but also a greater threat to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, as long as Sun Quan was willing, this heavy army could be put into the Jingzhou battlefield at any time. Sun Quan only needs to transfer this army to Jiangxia, and he will be so frightened that Liu Biao will not dare to leave Xiangyang, let alone send troops to help Jiangling!

In short, before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao split the victory, Sun Quan must at least pacify the entire south of the Yangtze River, leaving no trouble. If you are lucky, you can even destroy Liu Biao and occupy the entire Jingzhou!

Soon after,

In the Central Plains, Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao personally led his troops and confronted Yuan Shao on the south bank of the Yellow River.

"This Sun Zhongmou is really 'kind'." Cao Cao chuckled. The movements of the Jiangdong Army, and Cao Cao, who was close to him, were naturally the first to know.

"It's kind, but it's also the heart of a rich wolf." Xun You said.

"Haha, no matter what kind of heart it is, we still have to admit his love now." Cao Cao laughed.

"Lord, if you don't owe Sun Quan a favor, you can repay this favor now." Jia Xu on the side suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Let's talk about it in detail. Cao Cao hurriedly asked, and Jia Xu spoke, it was obviously not as simple as returning the favor.

"Recently in Danyang, didn't something come here?" Jia Xu reminded, "The lord only needs to transfer that thing to Sun Quan." ”

Cao Cao was stunned, how did he do this? Isn't this digging your own way back? But soon, Cao Cao pondered the taste,

"You mean, then Sun Zhongmou may not know the truth?" Cao Cao couldn't help but say.

Jia Xu smiled lowly,

"I'm afraid there are still a lot of things he doesn't know, as far as I know, this Sun Zhongmou is not such a forbearant person."

"In that case, then I should really be 'kind' to remind him." Cao Cao laughed.

"By the way, is that thing ready?" Cao Cao suddenly asked a question.

"Back to the lord, it's almost there, at most a month, you can use it!"

"Good!" Cao Cao slapped his thigh heavily, "After being aggrieved for so long, it's time for us to launch a counterattack against Yuan Shao!" ”

North

"This boy from the Sun family! You're still working against me! Yuan Shao said angrily, Sun Quan withdrew his troops in Huainan and retreated, isn't this a change of law to help Cao Cao!

"My lord, although that Sun Quan is hateful, it is not without benefits to us." The strategist said.

"What's in it for you?" Yuan Shao asked.

"First, now that Cao Cao is negligent in the south, Sun Quan did not take the opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land, which is his loss, and for us, it is actually no different, because Cao Cao has deployed heavy troops here. Sun Quan gave up his advantage at this time, which is naturally a good thing for us to seize Jiangdong in the future. Second, Sun Quan withdrew the troops north of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei in Xuzhou was also free, and the lord could invite Liu Bei to send troops to Cao Cao on the grounds of the edict, Liu Bei has always been loyal to the emperor, and he must not refuse. Once Liu Bei sends troops, Cao Cao can be broken! The judge said.
