Cai Mao is not useless, at least in the end, he still knows how to ask Kuai Yue, although he has lost two extremely important strategic positions, at least they have not lost and can't get up. Cai Mao had a bitter face, the original boxy face shape was almost kneaded for him now, just like an orange peel, as ugly as it was, it was as ugly as it was.

His eyes were tilted towards Kuaiyue, who was still sitting there, his eyes slightly closed, looking refreshed.

The entire air was filled with Cai Mao's anxious mood and Kuai Yue's indifferent expression.

Cai Mao stretched out her hand and paused in mid-air again, her mouth moved, but she still couldn't say a word, and there was nothing she could do except sigh. He was very distressed and said: "Lord Kuai, just squeak, it was General Ben who was wrong in the past, and he didn't know how to listen to your golden words, but now that I think about it, I regret it very much." Seeing that the Jiangdong Army is fighting to this extent, you are not saying anything, but I am afraid that we are all going to be finished. ”

Kuai Yue was still not speaking, and his expression was almost exactly the same as just now.

Cai Mao saw that her words couldn't move Kuai Yue at all, and her expression was very indifferent, her heart was angry, she just wanted to be angry, and then she thought of the purpose of her coming, and her eyes couldn't help but dim. Seeing that Kuai Yue was still like that, a feeling of despair floated in his heart, and the surname Suo turned his heart sideways, and simply fought with Jiangdong Army. Thinking of this, Cai Mao suddenly stood up and strode away.

As soon as Cai Mao arrived at the door, he heard Kuai Yue's voice that faded out of the water and said, "General Cai, what do you want to do?" ”

Cai Mao didn't look back, and said with some hatred in her voice: "Go and recruit people and fight with Zhang Lang." ”

Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao's tall back and sighed deeply, it seems that the lives of those soldiers in the past were sacrificed in vain, and this Cai Mao still did not grow at all. Kuai Yue said expressionlessly: "General, do you think that under the current situation, we can defeat the Jiangdong Army?" ”

Cai Mao didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Even if you can't kill them, you have to cripple them." ”

Kuai Yue suddenly sneered and said, "General Cai, you're too naïve to think about, right?" For today's plan, sticking to the city is the best policy, if you attack like this, I am afraid that you will fall into Cheng Yu's arms. ”

Cai Mao's footsteps had already been set alive, and he had already turned around, with a hint of seeking advice on his face, and his tone had become much more respectful than just now, and said: "Mr. Kuai, at this time, the morale of our army is low, and we need to win a battle to encourage the soldiers. If we only defend, I am afraid that the soldiers will think that we are cowardly, and then the morale of the army will be weakened, then it will be a big deal. ”

Kuai Yue shook his head again and again when he heard this, obviously sneering at Cai Mao's thoughts, and he said lightly: "General Cai, where is the advantage of our army?" Where is the enemy's inferiority? Have you seriously and carefully analyzed and figured it out? ”

Cai Mao was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this issue.

Kuai Yue knew what the answer was when he looked at his expression, and he continued: "The lord has been riding into Xiangyang alone, and now it is called the eight counties of Weizhen, which has been more than ten years, and it is deeply rooted and has a strong foundation. Although Nanjun is in danger now, there are still tens of thousands of armor, countless grains and grasses, and Gangneung City is increasing year by year, which can be described as a high and thick city. In addition, the enemy's momentum is extremely strong, and our army should avoid its edge and wait for its weakness before it is time to attack. This is the purpose of perseverance. On the other hand, the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Lang started in Xuzhou, in less than ten years, across the four major prefectures of Xu, Henan, Yang, and Jing, how much food does this consume, and how much military capital does it cost? When his own foundation is not yet firmly established, he expands his territory and expands everywhere, which is really the way to his own destruction. Throughout the Jiangdong Army's several major battles, whether it was retreating from Cao Ying and killing Yuan Shu at the time of Xuzhou, or attacking Liu Harrier and retreating from Shanyue at the time of Yangzhou, all of them were surprisingly victorious, and the time of each battle was quite short. It is undeniable that Zhang Lang is superior, but at the same time, it can't hide their most fatal weakness, and the Jiangdong Army can't fight a protracted war, because their military reserves decide that they can only fight a lightning battle. As long as we understand one point and make use of it, in less than half a year, the Jiangdong Army will be defeated and destroyed because of the lack of food and grass. When the time comes, General Cai is waving his army, isn't it a big victory? ”

Cai Mao's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he was still a little hesitant and said: "Zhang Lang's 100,000 Southern Expeditionary Army is now fighting in Jiaozhou, I'm afraid that it won't be long before it will be killed, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that our army won't be able to resist it." ”

"Hahaha." Kuai Yue looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "General Cai, General Cai, why don't you understand, 100,000 troops, such a huge military division, the expenditure on regular military rations must be very amazing, you should have more reason to believe that Zhang Lang's good words are not much." When Kuai Yue said this, his face turned cold and he said, "What about the 100,000 male masters?" If there is no grain and grass, it is not a paper paste? ”

Cai Mao's brows were relieved when she heard this, and she was overjoyed, and she rubbed her hands together and sighed: "If I had listened to Lord Kuai's words earlier, I am afraid that our army would not have made it to such a point?" Hey, I regret not being at the beginning. ”

Kuai Yue didn't express any opinion on Cai Mao's sigh, but said lightly: "Forget it in the past, the next thing is the most important, General Cai From now on, no matter how the Jiangdong army fights, you just need to stick to the city gate and not go out, it won't be long before Cheng Yu will inevitably retreat without a fight, as long as you seize the opportunity, our army will win." When the time comes, the water dog will be beaten, not only can he recover the lost land such as Jiangxia, but fortunately, he can also fish the river to cross the border and seize the territory of Jiangdong. ”

Cai Mao was completely relieved at this time, and excitedly went down to issue an order.

Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao's happy departure, and his face finally showed a faint smile.

After that, Cai Mao really closed the door, and Cheng Yu was sent to Huaxian County to fight several times, no matter how insulting and scolding, he just didn't fight. Cheng Yu didn't have any good ways to deal with this for a while, and attacked a few times, but because Cai Mao was on guard, he had to return without attacking.

The two armies held each other for half a decade, and Cheng Yu saw that this was not a solution, so he had a plan, pretending to lead the troops north, wanting to pull out the land of Jingling first, and then eat the reinforcements from Xiangyang.

In the first few days, Huarong County was the same as before, and there was no movement.

Cheng Yu secretly thought that Cai Mao was really determined to defend it, since this was the case, he decided to fake the show, and the 10,000 horses who were ambushed, under the leadership of Zhou Tai, began to attack Jingling in the north. The army set off secretly for a few days, thinking that the gods were unaware, but Cai Mao suddenly launched a fierce attack on Chuyang under the instruction of Kuai Yue, but fortunately, Cheng Yu personally sat in the formation, and under his calm and calm command, he withstood Cai Mao's impact for a few days. After Zhou Tai learned the news, he was so frightened that he pulled out the camp and retreated to Chuyang overnight, afraid that Cheng Yu would make a mistake. As soon as the news of Zhou Tai's return came, Cai Mao and Liu Biaojun retreated like a tide.

In this way, Cheng Yu's plan can only be declared a failure.

Zhou Tai retreated to the second day, and led 3,000 soldiers to Huarong City to fight, Cai Mao hung up the battle exemption card again, and the angry Zhou Tai scolded the shrinking turtle on the spot. Cai Mao was completely unmoved, and was still there proud. In desperation, Zhou Tai could only return.

After a few days, this was the case again.

Cheng Yu couldn't make a plan, so he thought about it again. He asked Zhou Tai to divide the soldiers into dozens of shares, one hundred people per share, and all the shares were reduced to zero, and they took small roads and climbed over the muddy and sandy Huarong high hills, preparing to attack Huarong County from the rear.

If it weren't for Zhou Tai's hard work, Cheng Yu got the news that the reinforcements rushed to catch up, but he was afraid that Zhou Tai and others would be more auspicious.

Cheng Yu failed to use two plans in a row, but he was not discouraged, and made another plan in a blink of an eye. On the grounds that the military rations were not continuous, he ordered the army to secretly leave the city, leaving only a few thousand people in the city, pretending to be various identities, and then secretly revealed the news to Liu Biao's spies, but 30,000 horses were ambushed outside the city for ten miles, just waiting for Cai Mao to take the city, and then killed them in one fell swoop.

After staying in the dense forest for five or six days, Cai Mao didn't move at all, but Jiang Dongjun was miserable from being bitten by insects in the woods, and his face, hands, and whole body were covered with xiaolongbao. Cheng Yu did not escape this catastrophe, and in desperation, he could only declare the plan to fail again.

At this time, Cheng Yu realized how Cai Mao became so smart, why didn't he fall for himself at all? With a puzzled heart, he asked Hou Reprimand to check what happened to Huarong here. In less than two days, the spies came to report, saying that since Cai Mao was defeated and returned to Huarong, Kuai Yue had been plotting behind his back, and everything was instructed by him. Cheng Yu only came to his senses at this time, no wonder his little plan did not succeed, it turned out that Kuai Yue, an old fox, was behind his back. Cheng Yu and Kuai Yue have not lost a single defeat, but at least so far, they have been at a disadvantage.

Due to Cai Mao's persistence, Cheng Yu's many tactics were ineffective, and the two parties slowly entered the stage of stalemate from attack. At first, there was nothing, but after a long time, the problems all came out. First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the military rations are not continuous, and although the grain officers collect them in many ways, the grain and grass are getting less and less, and they are becoming more and more insufficient; In fact, the Jiangdong Army's momentum was like a rainbow in such a stalemate, and it was slowly wiped out; Third, the reinforcements from Xiangyang will soon arrive in Jingling, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Cheng Yu's son will also start to have a hard time.

Huarong Yi, although it entered a stalemate, but on the waterway of the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong Army continued to receive good results. Zhou Yu led less than 10,000 sailors, and after two confrontations, he successfully intercepted and killed the enemy general Su Fei, beheaded him, and harvested 100 large and small ships. and rushed back to Baqiu overnight to replenish military supplies and prepare to attack Nanjun again.

All these things have been spread to Xiakou, and Zhang Lang is glad that he did not return to Moling, but he keeps thinking about how to take the big problem of Huarong County.

At this time, a messenger soldier took a letter from Sha Xian to Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang took it apart, took a cursory look, and when he saw half of it, he frowned, and it seemed that something tricky had happened.

Tian Feng, who was on the side, was quite curious, and asked, "Lord, what happened?" ”

Zhang Lang threw the paper to Tian Feng, and said with a little helplessness on his face: "Cheng Yu sent a letter, saying that the military rations can only support about ten years, and Cai Mao suddenly changed his surname, and treated Kuai Yue as a grandfather, saying that he didn't dare to do two, and he was asking what I should do now?" ”

Tian Feng looked at the letter paper while bowing his head and pondered: "I really didn't expect this Kuai Yue to be so powerful, and he has recognized Zhongde's plan many times, this time I am only afraid of running into a strong enemy, if it continues like this, it will be very unfavorable to our army's actions." ”

Zhang Lang glanced at Tian Feng helplessly and said: "Yes, the military rations are okay, we can still think of some ways, if it really doesn't work, we can also draw some from Baqiu, but this is not a long-term solution." Now the key is that Cai Mao is not 100% sure that he will not come out to fight, which is my headache. Fu Hao, tell me if you have any good ideas? ”

Tian Feng smiled bitterly, although he was very unwilling, he still shook his head and said, "There is no good way for the next time." ”

Zhang Lang waved his hand and said, "That's it, you step back first, go back and think about it......"

Tian Feng nodded, didn't make a sound, and quietly retreated.

After Tian Feng left, Zhang Lang sat there alone and pondered, and he didn't even know when Zhao Yu would come.

Zhang Lang was so engrossed that a plan appeared, but he was soon denied by another idea. Coming and going, the more I think about it, the bigger my head gets, and I almost have to explode. At this time, a pair of soft little hands, gently pressed on his temples, and began to rub them rhythmically, constantly stimulating his blood, so that the originally chaotic brain slowly regained consciousness. Zhang Lang exhaled comfortably and began to work his brain again.

Zhao Yu also knew that Zhang Lang was thinking about things at this time, and did not disturb him out of the voice.

Zhang Lang thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Fengxiao, where did you die again?" Why don't you come out and help me come up with a good idea. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help but giggle when he heard Zhang Lang's pitiful words in the back.

Zhang Lang was in any mood to joke, and muttered to himself: "If Guo Jia is here, what will he do now?" ”

Zhao Yu interjected in the back after hearing this: "Brother Lang, look at you now, I knew that I would get that powerful guy over when I was right, and you miss Guo Jia every day." ”

Zhang Lang said listlessly: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Zhao Yu tilted his head and muttered, "Ugly and arrogant guy, Pang Tong." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but shake his head, yes, if Pang Tong is here, he will definitely have a way, but he is called the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick with Zhuge Liang? Wait, Zhuge Liang? …… Pregnant...... Zhang Lang suddenly laughed excitedly, there is a way.
