Guangling County, Guangling Port.

Hordes of troops poured in, and then quickly took over the defense, and Zang Ba stood on the city tower and looked at the endless Yangtze River in front of him, and a pride appeared in his heart.

Now that the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are empty, Xuzhou's troops will be able to sweep Danyang, Wu, Huiji and Yuzhang with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. At that time, the land of the four counties was in hand, and no matter what changes occurred in the situation in the Central Plains, it would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"What does the military advisor think of the scenery of the Yangtze River?"

"Although the scenery is good, it is not my Xuzhou land"

Chen Deng said worriedly.

When the army arrives, it's like an arrow on a bowstring. Once the army goes south, then some things will be unavoidable.

What is the plan in the heart of the state pastor? Aimlessly, the end result is extinction. Isn't he the Lord? Can't protect Xuzhou for a long time in this troubled era?

In recent years, the situation in the world has been unpredictable, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Taishi's chaos in Luoyang, and the disintegration of various places. Once the north, Guanzhong, and the south rise to power, the Central Plains will surely become the main place of contention.

There are only two ways to solve the crisis, one is that there is also a male lord in the Central Plains to protect the land of the four wars. Second, the alliance of Henan, Xu, Chong and Qingdao. Attack the north, Guanzhong, and the south respectively.

It is clear that the second strategy is unrealistic.

The question comes back to the question, is the state pastor the master? Can he unify the four states of the Central Plains and repel the male lords of Guanzhong, the north and the south that may appear?

The answer is clearly no.

The governor is a lord of generosity, but he is not a pioneer lord, let alone a hero. When the majesty of the imperial court is still there, it is a rare state pastor, but the absence of the imperial court is not necessarily a good thing for Xuzhou.

"Why did the military advisor say that?"

"Before the war began, it was too early to draw conclusions"

Zang Ba said disappreciatively.

As a general, he scoffed at the ideas of Chen Deng and others. As long as the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, as long as the strength of Xuzhou is strong enough. After capturing Jianye, Jiangnan is at your fingertips. As for their concerns, that's even more nonsense.

"Jiangnan is not so easy to fight, with Jia Yuzhang's wisdom, he must have been prepared, I just can't wait. If you go straight to the outside of Jianye City, I'm afraid that you will get into trouble instead."

"The military advisor is so unoptimistic about this battle?"

"It's not that it's not optimistic, it's that this big war is not necessary. At the beginning, Yuan Yuzhou was in a good situation, but in the end, it was not a big injury and he lost the land south of the Yangtze River? If it weren't for Yuan's gift from Yuzhou, I'm afraid that a catastrophe would have come long ago. Dare to ask General Zang, is my Xuzhou stronger than Yuan Yuzhou? ”

Faced with Chen Deng's sudden question, Zang Ba was speechless.

How could it be stronger than Yuan Yuzhou, and Xuzhou did not have such good conditions as Yuzhou, even after the Yellow Turban Raid. But the heritage of Yuzhou is still not to be underestimated, just like when Yuzhou recommended Yuzhang to guard Jia Nian, it didn't take any effort. It must be known that Yuzhang is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family members of Yuzhou exert their strength, and their influence can spread all over the place, which shows the strength of the family.

"Lord's Decree"

"Ben will have to start with"

Zang Ba said to Chen Deng after a while, his momentum weakened a little unconsciously.

I don't dare to compare the lord with Yuan Yuzhou in my arrogance, even if Yuan Yuzhou loses Jiangnan, he can make a comeback with Yuan's grace. But the lord does not have such a background, and Xuzhou does not have such a background.

But what does this have to do with the attack on Jiangnan? It can even be said that compared with Yuan Yuzhou, Xuzhou is more urgent for Jiangnan. It is precisely because there is no foundation that a big rear is needed to stand tall. And this just shows the importance of Jiangnan to Xuzhou.

A God-given opportunity is right in front of you, and it's impossible for you to give it up.

Chen Deng watched the change in the expression on Zang Ba's face, his lips moved, and finally swallowed.

sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't stop it, and he could only plan for the worst.

"Jiangnan is already empty, and it is a bit of a waste for 20,000 troops to go south, so it is better to give 5,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Guangling Port."

"Division?"

Zang Ba was stunned for a moment.

Does it make sense to divide troops at this time? Do you need to divide troops to fight Jiangnan? It's too cautious, isn't it?

"Jiangnan is empty, the main force is far away in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, and the remaining soldiers and horses are also at the junction between Jiangnan and Jiaozhou, in the face of the four counties that have been empty, dividing troops is the best choice"

"And Qi Zheng complements each other, with 5,000 soldiers and horses as backup, the general can let go of his hands and feet in the south of the Yangtze River."

Chen Deng explained.

I don't know why there is always an ominous premonition, maybe this time Xuzhou really did something wrong, maybe it will set off stormy waves.

The voice circled in his ears, and Zang Ba frowned. Speaking of which, this Chen Junshi and Captain Chen are still not optimistic about this battle. Otherwise, why do you always say these words that greatly demoralize our army?

"Well, since the military advisor thinks that this is more secure, then the general will leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Guangling Port."

"In order to avoid Jianye's reaction, the soldiers quickly ordered their troops to go south"

"As for this Guangling Port, it will be handed over to the military division."

Zang Ba said to Chen Deng.

Without waiting for him to reply, he raised his voice and shouted around.

"Someone Coming"

"In"

"Point 15,000 soldiers and horses, immediately board the ship and go straight to Jianye"

"No"

The soldiers guarding behind him shouted loudly, and then followed Zang Ba to the bottom of the city tower.

Looking at this distant back, Chen Deng sighed.

"Why is the military advisor like this?"

"Xuzhou is in danger"

Listening to the inquiry, Chen Deng said softly.

After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers behind this city tower, and as a military advisor, saying these words will surely bring a great blow to morale. So it's good to pay a little attention.

"Why did the military advisor say that?"

"There are Qingzhou yellow scarves in the north, and Xuzhou is struggling to support. Now that they have rashly started a war in the south, once the two sides echo each other from afar, how can Xuzhou survive for a long time? Moreover, Jia Yuzhang made a plan and then moved, and after occupying Yuzhang for several years, it seemed that there was no sound, and he could reappear in front of the world. It was the time of the annexation of Jiangnan. Now it is even more in the palm of his hand, so that the wealthy families of the Jiangnan family bow their heads and ears, lead Yuan Yuzhou to the south, and sweep the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang. How can all these things not be feared?"

"Is the military advisor suspicious?"

"The soldiers of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River must be in Jianye, and the soldiers of Shanyue are hidden in the sea not far from the Yangtze River"

"Send a clipper to inquire about the news, be sure to ensure the safety of the river between Guangling Port and Jianye Port, and report immediately once you find traces of the enemy."

"No"

One of them bowed, turned around and was about to go downstairs of the castle.

Chen Deng looked at his henchmen and hurriedly added.

"If you can't do anything, I will return to this place immediately, and I will be ready to give up Guangling County"

"This?"

The man hesitated, is it so serious? They are all ready to give up Guangling.

Chen Deng's face sank, and he commanded the man.

"Go quickly"

"No"

The man replied and hurriedly walked downstairs.
