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

"The general is really brave, but this injury is just right, so it's better to have a good rest." I said.
"The general's words are to underestimate the last general, only a small injury, it has nothing to do, now that the war is imminent, how can I recuperate in the army?" Wu Ban was emotionally charged at this time.
"Well, in that case, let's immediately make a plan to raise troops and conquer Lingguan!!" My tone was low.
"What? Make a plan to attack Yiling Pass now, but you and Cui Li have just returned, don't you want to take a break? Lin Yun asked.
"No need, General Wu Ban has just healed from his wounds and wants to go into battle against the enemy, although Cui Li and I have gone through some twists and turns, but we have not hurt our muscles and bones, we don't need to recuperate, the war has been delayed a few days ago, and now we have to hurry up." My tone was resolute.
"In that case, let's move to the military tent and discuss the current situation in detail. Although we have not launched an offensive in the past few days, there are still some subtle changes in the war. Professor Wu led the way.
A subtle change in the tide of battle? We didn't launch any attack, that is to say, the local initiative has changed, but it's very strange, the general setting is based on the changes of the other party, the system will make a relative response, if we don't have any attack, why will the enemy army have subtle changes? I wondered if I couldn't answer it, so I went to the military tent and heard what was going on.
We followed Professor Wu to the military tent, only to see something similar to a blackboard in the military tent.
"Professor Wu, what is this?" Cui Li asked, pointing to what looked like a blackboard.
"This is a kind of black stone that we stumbled upon in the army, and it was broken and evenly spread on the stone slab to form the shape you see, and then you can use this light-colored stone to write on it." Professor Wu picked up a pebble from the wooden table and shook it in front of us.
"Professor Wu, you are so powerful, you can even think of this." Cui Li praised exaggeratedly on the side.
"It's nothing, let's get to the point quickly." Obviously, Professor Wu didn't care about Cui Li's false praise.
But looking at the blackboard in front of me, I always feel like I'm in a classroom, but it's a good feeling. I watched Professor Wu draw something on the 'blackboard'. But it's really hard to understand.
"Look here, it is the Yiling Pass guarded by the Wu army, and this is the Shu army camp where we are now." Professor Wu gestured on the 'blackboard'.
But thanks to his explanation, otherwise we wouldn't really be able to understand what was drawn on it.
"Wonderful!! It's so expressive!! Professor Wu, you must have studied art before. "Cui Li's ability to slap horses is really enough.
"This one...... It's okay, I think it's basically to the point. Professor Wu said so, but his face was still slightly embarrassed.
"Professor Wu, this is your modesty, you are the best drawing I have seen among all the teachers who teach physics." Cui Li's expression was also extremely exaggerated.
"Let's discuss the current battle situation, Professor Wu, what subtle changes do you say has taken place in the enemy?" I really can't listen to Cui Li's praise, so I still focus back on the battle situation.
"Cheng Yin, that's right, just when you were not in the army, the enemy's deployment changed, first of all, all the archers on the wall of Yiling Pass were withdrawn, and then according to the Tanma report in front, Lu Xun, the commander of the Wu army, has also not seen Lu Xun, the commander of the Wu army, for many days."
What Professor Wu said really shocked me, just by withdrawing the archers on the city wall, it is incredible, such a towering city wall, coupled with well-trained archers, even if the enemy has a 100,000 army, it is not easy to attack it, not to mention the Yiling Pass, which occupies such a favorable location, but in this case, why would the local place remove the archers on the city wall, what is the intention? I don't have the right answer in my mind.
"Probably...... Can they know ...... I know if I can't ...... But I ...... We, so withdraw...... The city was taken down...... Bow on top of the city walls...... Archer. Hu Zaide stammered.
"It's impossible, we've been defeated by the enemy in our previous attacks, and they have no reason to think they won't be able to beat us?" Lin Yun's thoughts are the same as mine, the Wu army occupies the advantageous position, and there is Jiangdong Lu Xun in charge, plus the mysterious person whose identity we don't know, all of this has brought us layers of resistance to capture Yiling Pass, and it is not a wise move to remove the most proud archers at this time, unless...
"But according to the Tanma report in front, it is not only the enemy's archers who have been removed, but also the enemy general Lu Xun has not appeared on the city wall for many days, maybe it is really Lu Xun who Sun Quan withdrew, and now the general guarding Yiling Pass may be a person who does not understand the art of war, doesn't this mean that it gives us the best opportunity?" Professor Twilight said from the side.
"That's it, this ...... This must be ...... It must be right...... The opponent's mistake in the battle, I ...... We can just ...... to catch this ...... This is a great opportunity...... When a large army marches in, it may be possible to ...... Can be out of the ordinary...... Unintentionally attacking this ...... This Yiling Pass. "Hu's idea is somewhat simple.
They rashly withdrew the archers on the city wall, undoubtedly trying to give us a chance to attack, but if I really suppressed the army, the archers on the city wall returned to their positions, which would undoubtedly bring heavy damage to our army.
I couldn't help but feel anxious.
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).
