(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

Will you be able to reach Yiling Pass tomorrow night? So fast? It seems that even if you count today, there will only be two days at most, which is good. We haven't made even a little progress so far.
"What! What did you say! Cui Li shouted.
"The enemy's army has been assembled, and the generals from all walks of life have ordered 50,000 troops, and they can reach Yiling Pass tomorrow night." Again, the soldier repeated clearly.
"Tomorrow night? It's too fast! What are we going to do? "Zhao Yuyu looked like a deflated ball.
"The message can't be wrong?" General Wu Ban's reconfirmation is our last ray of life, and how we hope that this news is not so accurate at this time.
"Report to the general, this is the news that the front Tanma brought back desperately, there will be no mistake, it's true!" The soldier's answer shattered our hopes, and this was a time-limited mission.
"General, it seems that we can only fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, otherwise our army will be even more powerless to resist as soon as the enemy army arrives." Wu Ban's suggestion is very pertinent, but now we must not rush to achieve anything. Calm down, I have to calm down, this is not yet to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, at least we have two more days.
But there is an atmosphere of anxiety and helplessness all around, and I really can't concentrate on thinking, what should I do? It was already difficult, and now it is undoubtedly worse.
"We need to be calm." My voice is very low, I have sorted out all the information, for now, the fierce wind in the organs of Yiling Pass can be resisted by Fang Shuran's 'Tianjing Fan', the huge sword can also be dealt with by the transformation of formation, and the tall city wall can only play a role in resisting when it is close. In fact, the only remaining problems are the water of the fallen city and the tens of thousands of troops of Ganning, so there may be some hope after analyzing it in this way.
"The whole army is arrayed!! Prepare for the offensive!! Suddenly, the army behind him began to riot, and I don't know if it was the soldier who shouted.
"What's going on?" General Wu Ban asked loudly.
"I don't know, it seems that our soldiers are asking for battle in front of the battle." The general next to him replied.
"Please? What's going on? Without a general's military order, who would dare to go to war without authorization? Wu Ban was furious and ran towards the army behind him.
"How so? Why did the soldiers of our army suddenly call for battle? Zhao Yuyu looked dazed.
"It seems that someone deliberately provoked a stir in the army, causing the army to riot." Lin Yun is right, I don't have to think about it, it must be the 'mysterious man' who is mixing among the soldiers to stir up everyone's emotions, and it is true that whoever hears that the enemy army is gathering will be uneasy.
"General, the soldiers are emotional, and they ask for a quick decisive battle over Yiling Pass." General Wu Ban panted and said, Sure enough, my most headache has happened, at this moment, in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, we will definitely lose, and we will be completely defeated without waiting for the arrival of the army of Eastern Wu.
"What should I do, the army is asking for war, if there is no one to serve the public, it will inevitably be unstable, and it will be really troublesome at that time.
"Cheng Yin, since the army has invited to fight, why don't we conform to the will of the army and fight a decisive battle at Yiling Pass!" Cui Li really helped at this time, when the army was already unstable, he just looked at the situation in front of him like those soldiers.
"Cui Li, what Cheng Yin said just now is right, we can't attack rashly yet. Otherwise, we will lose. Lin Yun stopped Cui Li's suggestion.
"This is also a loss, that is also a loss, then what do you say, now that you have gathered all the overall situations of Dongwu, you can't stop it with our troops alone. Rather than be defeated without a fight, it is better to strike first and take them by surprise, they definitely did not expect that we would really attack, so wouldn't it just catch them off guard? Cui Li said.
"I'm afraid the enemy army is well prepared and waiting for us." Wang Ningmo said.
"Well, this won't work, that won't work, we'll just wait here, and when the 50,000 army stands in front of us, we still can't think of anything." Cui Li's opinion was rejected by us, and he sulked a little.
"Cui Li, you misunderstood, it's not that we don't do anything here and wait for the arrival of the Wu army, it's just that we really need to plan the tactics of the attack, why do you think that 'mysterious man' always provokes our army, in fact, it is nothing more than to let us fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, I believe that he must also have a reason to have to fight a decisive battle immediately, it is precisely in this way that we can't do what he wants. We now seem to have at least two more days to make a new project. I persuaded Cui Li to say.
"Will there be a way?" Cui Li asked weakly.
"There must be a way." I didn't have much of the confidence to answer in the affirmative.
"Cheng Yin!! The rebellion of the army is getting worse and stronger!! General Wu Ban seems to be out of control!! Li Ruina shouted.
"Decisive Battle!! Decisive battle!!! There was a shout from behind him, it seems that the problem of the army's heart must be solved immediately, otherwise I am afraid that the army will really attack Yiling Pass.
"General, the situation is too chaotic, the emotions of the soldiers are very excited, and the last general really can't control it." General Wu Ban reports.
"Decisive Battle!! Decisive battle!!! ”
………
"Decisive Battle!! Decisive battle!!! ”
………
Listening to the non-stop shouts of the soldiers, now it is really ready to fly, and I have to send it.
"Since the 'mystery man' has helped us to push the tide, then we will go with the flow, and we can't waste his efforts." I said with a smile.
"Cheng Yin, what are you going to do?" Lin Yun asked.
"Now that the bow and arrow are already on the string, we might as well take advantage of the trend and surprise !!" I said.
Jingzhou, it is generally believed that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou originally had seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, Changsha County, after the Battle of Chibi, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Cao Cao occupied the largest Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou, Sun Quan got Jiangxia County and Nan County, and Liu Bei got four counties in the south of Jingzhou (Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling). Liu Bei's military security was not conducive to development, so he proposed to Sun Quan twice to borrow the southern county of Jingzhou, and Eastern Wu Lusu persuaded Sun Quan to temporarily lend the southern county to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei had five counties of Jingzhou (Nanjun, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling).
