Zhang Lang and his 10,000 soldiers arrived in Luo County after several days of rapid marching.

That night, Zhang Lang set up camp.

Zhang Lang and Guo Jia gathered together to discuss how to harm people.

Zhang Lang first said: "Now that our position is close to Dongting, how to act next, let's discuss it again?" ”

Guo Jia pondered for a while and said: "The waters of Yunmengze are too wide, and we don't have guides who are very familiar with geography, especially if we don't have an army that is proficient in waterways, if we venture deeper, it is easy to lose our way, let alone attack Baqiu." Besides, the ship is a great difficulty, if you have to enter from Yunmengze, then you have to take Luo County in advance, grab back some military ships, and then sail from the Luo County port along the lake to Baqiu Mountain. Although we have a great advantage in terms of time, relatively speaking, it is very difficult to capture the port and go deep into Dongting. ”

Zhang Lang was a little depressed and said: "According to what you say, the waterway is not feasible?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "According to the news that the spies have returned, the large ships in Luo County are very limited now, and it is impossible to transport my army of about 10,000 at the same time. ”

Zhang Lang tilted his head sideways and pondered, "Then what if we go to Baqiu by land?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "If we want to go by land, then we have to bypass Yunmengze, in this way, the distance will be nearly doubled, and it is difficult to guarantee whether we will encounter the enemy army on the road, if we do, the target will be exposed, and we will have to fight hard, and at the same time, in terms of time, Wang Wei can calmly arrange, and Cai Mao can also reinforce in time, which is quite unfavorable to our army." ”

Zhang Lang held his head with his hands and said depressedly: "Then according to what you say, water and land will not work, can you still fly over?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "No, since this road is not passable, we can start from other roads and achieve the same effect." ”

Zhang Langxiao said with interest: "Where to start?" ”

Guo Jia did not answer positively, but asked rhetorically: "The lord occupies Changsha, how do you say Cai Mao will react?" ”

Zhang Lang said without thinking: "It must be said that someone will be sent to recapture Changsha from the new one." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "What else?" ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a while, and then said: "If I were Cai Mao, in addition to recapturing Changsha from the new ones, I would also strengthen the protection of Baqiu with heavy troops to ensure the unimpeded flow of the Yangtze River waterway." Then I will bite my troops at the right time, ready to eat them in one bite. ”

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said, "Just as the lord said." ”

Zhang Lang was a little puzzled and said, "What? Is this a normal reaction? What's wrong? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Since Cai Mao will have such a reaction, what do you say Wang Wei will do?" ”

Zhang Lang held his chin and pondered: "The news of the loss of Changsha Wang Wei must know, according to his current troop deployment, give up the defense in the Yunmengze area, lead to the middle gate wide open, so that our army commander can drive in and go straight to Baqiu." On the surface, they seem to be a little overwhelmed. However, on the contrary, Wang Wei concentrated his elite troops in the area of Baqiu and prepared to defend Baling, which was undoubtedly a very wise move. If we want to occupy Baling and control the waterway, it will be a tough battle, and it will be very unfavorable to our army. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, plans are not faster than changes." From Wang Wei's way of adapting, it can be seen that he is indeed a talent, firmly grasping the endless advantages of the reinforcements, and forcing us to fight him head-on. ”

Zhang Lang snorted coldly and said, "Wang Wei wants to force us to compete in Baqiu, but I won't let it succeed." Bonghyo, hurry up and think of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

Guo Jia obviously didn't take this "beauty difference" to heart, and said confidently: "If you want Wang Wei's plan to fail and make a breakthrough in Jingnan, you still have to return to the topic that your subordinates just said, that is, which route the lord wants to take now, so as to achieve the greatest effect." ”

Although Zhang Lang has a very high IQ, he didn't understand Guo Jia's thoughts for a while, but he faintly felt that Guo Jia had some unexpected ideas, so he couldn't help glaring at him, and said angrily: "Fengxiao, why do you like to hang my appetite more and more?" That's not a good sign. When the time comes, you will make me anxious, and you will be the one who suffers. ”

Huang Xu, who had been speaking on the side, couldn't help but interject: "Yes, military advisor, the heart of the unfinished general has itched for you." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Where do your subordinates dare." In fact, with the current thoughts of his subordinates, since Baqiu is difficult to conquer for a while, it is better to lure the snake out of the hole, transfer Wang Wei's troops, and then kill the horse pistol, I don't know what the master thinks? ”

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "This idea is good, you can talk about it specifically and see how to do it." ”

Guo Jia lowered his head, stomped back and forth two steps, and reorganized his thoughts again, feeling that there was nothing missing, and then said slowly: "Now our location is in Luo County, if nothing else, Wang Wei already has a rumor, and he is ready for a decisive battle with our army in Baqiu." Since this is the case, it is better to be surprised, follow Yunmengze, wave westward, and run long distances to make Tang County. Zuotang County is just in the middle of Wuling, Xiaoling, and Baling, and is in a state of three regards: Wang Wei can't manage it, Wuling Jinxuan can't manage it, and the public security Han Ji doesn't want to manage it at all. As long as the lord's army presses the territory, I am afraid that the defenders will surrender without a fight. As long as you take down the Tang Dynasty, you will make a fake image that is close to the public security, hehe, what kind of image do you think it will be when the time comes? ”

Zhang Lang was in high spirits and said excitedly: "Jingzhou is naturally in chaos, the public security is only a few hundred miles away from Nanjun, and the Tang Dynasty is lost, if the public security is scattered again, Nanjun will be shaken, and Jiangling will be unstable." Although we have no superiority in troops, the problem is that Liu Biao's army has just left for Chuyang, and to regather new troops, it will take at least half a decade, not to mention the tens of thousands of horses and horses that were pinned down by Xu Huang in Nanyang, and the troops led by Liu Bei into Sichuan, almost formed a vacuum in the area around Nanjun. ”

Guo Jia looked at Zhang Lang, who was in great spirits, and said with a smile: "Although our 10,000 horses did not take the capital of Nanjun, it is enough to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger and scare them. ”

Zhang Lang thought about the beautiful things again, and then began to think about the adventure of this plan, he frowned slightly and said: "This is deep in Jingmen, and there are Liu Biao's troops in all directions, if something goes wrong, there will be no bones left, this is too risky, right?" Besides, if Liu Biao is more clever and blocks all our retreats, won't it be all over? ”

Guo Jia said calmly and confidently: "Don't worry, after getting Zuo Tang, you will immediately give up, just like discarding Changsha, immediately advance to the public security, and spread some rumors not to increase credibility." Secretly, he quickly dispersed and turned to Bachu. As long as you are careful to avoid the army from Bachu on the way, you will be fine. ”

Zhang Lang pondered: "If the Tang Dynasty is lost, I am afraid that the military horses of Wuling, Xiaoling, and Baling will not hesitate, and at the same time they will surround us, forming a powerful encirclement network, and it will be quite difficult for us to get out of it." ”

Guo Jia said: "Lord, when will you be so unconfident?" Yunmengze is eight hundred miles wide, even if it really doesn't work at that time, we can still get rid of the enemy from the naval army and scatter away from the land. ”

Zhang Lang smiled angrily: "You want me to feed the fish in the lake." ”

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, and everyone also felt a burst of relief.

Before it was over, Zhang Lang said solemnly: "This move is to mobilize the strength of Baqiu's defensive line, what if they are not fooled?" ”

Guo Jia said confidently: "At this point, the lord can rest assured. Put yourself in your shoes and think about it, if your hinterland is attacked by the enemy, will you draw back the forces around you under certain conditions to encircle this force led by the enemy's lord? ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, nodded involuntarily and said, "Yes." ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Isn't that enough?" ”

Zhang Lang suddenly remembered that when he was in Wuchang, Guo Jia instigated him to lead the team south, was it just for today's assault and bait afterwards? With the question in his heart, Zhang Lang asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, as early as Wuchang, did you think of this step?" Tell me the truth. ”

Guo Jia obviously didn't expect Zhang Lang to ask a little bit, his eyes couldn't help but turn his bones, and he shirked it a hundred times.

Zhang Lang sneered: "What a Guo Fengxiao, he is really a ghost, and when he was not out of Wuchang, you expected this step." That's okay, but the damn thing is that you knew that things would develop to this point, and you still instigated me to lead the team out, and used it as bait here in Zuotang County, attracting bees and butterflies, and attracting a large number of Liu Biao's troops to surround and annihilate me, do you really think that I am a monster cat with nine lives, and I can't die? ”

Guo Jia had already put on another Xiaoer's face, and said with a flattering face: "Don't be angry, your subordinates know that you have a lot of adults." Besides, the subordinates are not as powerful as you say, but after taking Changsha, they suddenly had some ideas. ”

Zhang Lang snorted, obviously still very depressed and dissatisfied. The bull's eye stared directly at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia had a hippie smile, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Zhang Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me catch your handle, otherwise, hum." Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows and pointed up. After speaking, he turned his head to Huang Xu, and his expression became very serious: "Pass on my order, and today I will immediately change the route and move along Yunmeng Jersey, with the goal of Tang County." If we act together, the goal is too obvious and easy to be exposed, now I have decided to divide the troops into three ways and divide them into parts, Wei Yan will lead a team, Zhang Ning will lead a team, and I will lead a team, and then we will gather in Tang. ”

A few soldiers who were ordered were suddenly ordered to go out to order their troops.

Zhang Lang suddenly shouted: "Come back." ”

Wei Yan, Zhang Ning and the others stopped, and asked Zhang Lang respectfully, "What else does the lord command?" ”

Zhang Lang said: "This matter just now, except for a few of you high-level soldiers who know, don't mention anything in front of others." Also, you must be careful and hidden on the road, so that Liu Biaojun can't find you, in case the goal is revealed, you will retreat to Wuchang, and you can't continue to advance in the direction of Zuotang. Got it? ”

The generals replied in unison: "Understood." ”

In this way, Zhang Lang's army suddenly disappeared in the Yunmengze area overnight, and there was no news for about ten years, which made Wang Wei and Cai Mao deeply uneasy, and even they didn't have a sense of safety when they took Changsha back from Changsha without much effort. Cai Mao thought that Zhang Lang would attack Baqiu, and deliberately personally brought tens of thousands of soldiers to support, but he didn't expect Zhang Lang to suddenly come and disappear, so they didn't know what to do for a while.

After Cai Mao was worried and wondered for half a decade, there was major news from Xiakou. Huang Zu conquered the unfavorable, but was designed by Tian Feng to trap Huang Jie. If it weren't for Huang Zu's bloody battle, and the support of Shiyang reinforcements at the critical moment, I am afraid that within one day, Huang Shen's father and son would both die in battle, and Ulin would change hands.

This news almost made Cai Mao mad, the 50,000 soldiers who had just gone south not long ago were pulled back by Cai Mao to Yang, and quickly reinforced the front line. Baqiu only left Cai Zhong and Cai He with 10,000 to help Wang Wei guard.

When Cai Mao had just entered the boundary of Xianxi, the news that shocked the entire Jingchu came from the public security, Zhang Lang suddenly attacked Tang County, and killed in the direction of the public security non-stop, the whole army was extremely fierce, and there seemed to be signs of rushing to Xiaoling in one breath. The entire Liu Biao army was panicked, no one thought that Zhang Lang would have such great courage, from Luoxian to Zuotang, with Yun Mengze in the middle, and the distance was more than thousands of miles, but Zhang Lang did it, and it took less than a month to do it, and it seemed that he would continue to go deeper and threaten Nanjun.

Liu Biao finally couldn't sit still, joking, people were going to fight to Nanjun's hometown. His old man personally instructed the army to issue an order, no matter what, Zhang Lang's main force should be surrounded and annihilated in the public security area, and he must not be allowed to rush and kill him everywhere without any scruples. The public security guarded Liu Biao's order, and he was reassured and asked the soldiers to prepare all the things to defend the city. General Wen Ping brought 10,000 soldiers from Huarong Dao to the public security quickly, Jin Xuan also set off from Wuling with 5,000 soldiers, and Wang Wei was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he had to guard the front line of Baqiu, and on the other hand, he had to obey Liu Biao's orders, and arrested Zhang Lang. It's just that fate once again stood on Zhang Lang's day, and Wang Wei's golden mean finally buried the disaster of killing himself.
