Chapter 427: Liu Xiu's Response

Jingzhou, Xiangyang..fastest update visit: Ρ‰Ρ‰Ρ‰.79XS.сОΜ .

Governor's Mansion!

Deng Zhan's face looked very dignified, and after entering the mansion, he went straight to Liu Xiu's study.

Entering the study, Deng Zhan took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Liu Xiu, saying, "Lord, this is the news I just received from Yizhou, and the situation is a little grim. ”

After Liu Xiu glanced to the side, his eyes became sharp.

After the 'spring' next year, Yizhou will send troops to attack Nanjun!

This news is shocking.

In addition to Yizhou, Cao Ren's army in Nanyang County will also send troops south.

This news is indeed astonishing news.

But the good thing is that even if there is to be a war, it will be after the 'spring' of next year. In particular, Liu Xiuxian grasped the intelligence, grasped the initiative, and waited for the war next year, and things would be easier.

Liu Xiu instructed: "Deng Zhan, send an order to Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Yi Yuan, Kuai Liang, Yang Hao, Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yi Feng, and let them go to the hall to discuss matters. ”

"No!"

Deng Zhan got the order, so he went down to inform.

Everyone gathered in the hall and took their seats.

Liu Xiu' said: "I just received the news that Cao 'Cao' sent Cheng Yu to Yizhou, and he has united with Liu Zhang in Yizhou. At present, Liu Zhang and Cao 'Cao' decided to attack Jingzhou after the 'spring' next year. Among them, Cao Ren will go south to Nanyang County, and Liu Zhang will attack Nanjun. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

This news came too suddenly.

Yi Zhizheng said: "Cao 'Cao' united Liu Zhang's troops, and the two sides attacked, it seems that Jingzhou can't be peaceful again." ”

Kuai Liang said: "In terms of food, it seems that we have to prepare in advance. Otherwise, if you suddenly face the battle, the food will easily not be able to keep up. Today, Jingzhou's total strength has already exceeded 150,000. It is not easy to raise so many soldiers in Jingzhou alone. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Uncle Ji, Zirou, in terms of food and equipment, the two of you have to worry a lot." Before the 'spring' of next year, we must prepare the grain for the war. ”

"No!"

Yi and Kuai Liang surrendered.

Pang Tong said slowly: "Lord, in addition to Cao 'Cao' and Liu Zhang, you also have to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan temporarily sued for peace, he was a lone wolf who forged forbearance, and once he saw Jingzhou 'swinging', Sun Quan would definitely send troops. Therefore, Jiangdong also had to ask Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to put more effort into making them watch out. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Shiyuan's analysis is reasonable, I'm afraid Sun Quan won't sit idly by." ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "My lord, in fact, the combination of Cao 'Cao' and Liu Zhang, it seems to be menacing, and it is easier to trigger a series of reactions, but it is also very easy to study carefully. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Jia Xu.

Liu Xiudao: "What does Mr. Wenhe think?"

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "The worst case scenario is that Cao 'Cao', Liu Zhang, and Sun Quan attack at the same time. But let's analyze it, Cao 'Cao' is the strongest in this, but Cao 'Cao' is also the most 'pumping'. ”

"Last time, Cao 'Cao' carried an army of 200,000 to the south. ”

"In the end, it was burned clean by the lord and suffered heavy losses, so that there was a 'wave' in all the northern states. Although Cao Cao must have recovered after sending troops to suppress it, he must have garrisoned the town, and it is impossible to 'draw' so many troops to the south. ”

"At present, Cao Jun's southward movement is just Cao Ren's troops, which seem to be fierce, but in fact they are strong on the outside. ”

"Therefore, Cao Jun's journey can actually be ignored, and he only needs to send a message to Zhang Ren, asking him to be more careful and vigilant, so as not to be 'chaotic' by a sneak attack, then it will be fine. ”

Jia Xu continued: "As for Sun Quan, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have been at war for many years, especially Huang Gai and LΓΌ 'Meng' were damaged, and Tai Shici and Lu Su returned to Shun, which can be said to have greatly weakened Jiangdong's strength. Especially in Jiangdong, compared with Jingzhou, there are more mountains and more 'chaos', and there are also family constraints, and Sun Quan's life is even more difficult. If he wants to attack Jingzhou, he will also depend on the situation, and if there is an opportunity, he will dare to attack. ”

Even if the lord was a little shocked, Jiangdong didn't dare to act rashly. ”

"Jiangdong Army, there is no longer anything to fear. ”

"The focus of this battle, the old man thinks it is still on the Yizhou army. ”

"The reason why we say Yizhou Army is not that it is strong and brave and good at fighting, but because the Yizhou Army is the link between the Cao Army and the Jiangdong Army. ”

Jia Xu's eyes were bright, and there was a trace of sharpness in his deep eyes.

Like, a sharp knife.

Jia Xu's tone was very peaceful, but it seemed to have a thousand catties of strength, which was shocking.

"The Cao Army is ostensibly united with the Yizhou Army, but in fact, it actually relies on the Yizhou Army to take the lead, and as I have just said, the Jiangdong Army will only send troops when the Cao Army and the Yizhou Army are smooth. ”

Therefore, the old man believes that the focus of this battle is on the Yizhou army. ”

"If the Yizhou army is defeated, then the Cao army will be isolated and helpless, and it will definitely withdraw to Wanxian County and dare not go south again. The Jiangdong Army will definitely not dare to covet Jingzhou anymore. ”

Jia Xu said in a solemn tone: "In this battle, we only need to give the Yizhou army a head-on blow, and then the war faced by the 'spring' next year will be solved." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes showed their approval.

Pang Tong took the initiative to say: "Wen Hegong's analysis, I agree, this is indeed the truth. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with joy, and he said: "I also agree with Mr. Wenhe's analysis. So, let's discuss it now and make a pre-planned plan for the war situation in the south. ”

"At present, according to the news from Yizhou, it is not yet certain who will lead the troops and what the strength will be. ”

"The only thing that is certain is that the route of the attack is from Ba County into South County. The county bordering Ba County and Nan County is Wu County, that is, Wu County, and Wu County and Ba County are bordered only by Yufu County. Therefore, it can be determined that the locations of next year's 'engagement' will be in Wuxian and Yufu counties. ”

Liu Xiu said: "What can be laid out now is to start from Wu County. ”

When it comes to the arrangement of marching and fighting, Yi nationality and Kuai Liang no longer 'intervene'.

Yang Hao, Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Huo Jun and others are not in enough status, and they only have the role of observers for the time being, so there are only Pang Tong and Jia Xu.

Pang Tongzheng said: "Since we have the first opportunity, if we still sit and wait to die, it will be a little too much." And Wen Hegong has analyzed it very clearly just now, the key to this station lies in the battle of Yizhou. Therefore, in this battle, we must not only fight beautifully, but also fight quickly, and defeat the Yizhou army attacking Nanjun with lightning speed. I suggest that next year, once the war starts, take the initiative. ”

Jia Xu said: "Taking the initiative is indeed the best choice. Because we don't know what the geographical situation of the 'junction' between Wu County and Yufu County is, but in general, the old man thinks that we can set a big strategy, so we choose the place where Yufu County and Wu County 'meet', find a suitable location, wait for the other party to raise troops to invade the territory, and then extinguish it in one fell swoop. ”

After Liu Xiu listened, he carefully considered the analysis of the two.

For now, this is the appropriate analysis.

After thinking carefully, Liu Xiu said: "If you don't know the battle situation ahead, it is difficult to make a detailed deduction layout. In this way, Wen He, Shi Yuan and Huo Jun, let's go to Nanjun Wu County. Go and look for the message, and then lay it out. Well, early tomorrow morning, we'll go. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Huo Jun received the order and immediately responded.

Yi Ji and Kuai Liang looked at each other, and they both had expressions that they were used to.

Liu Xiu said: "Ji Bo, Zirou, I will no longer be in Xiangyang, and the two of you will work hard." Yang Hao, Liao Hua and Yi Feng are all good, let them experience more experience, and strive to share more government affairs earlier. ”

"Obedience!"

Hearing this, Yi and Kuai Liang nodded in response.

After Yang Hao, Liao Hua and Yi Feng heard this, their faces all showed a trace of joy. Liu Xiu not only let them participate in the Jingzhou War, but also personally entrusted, obviously extremely concerned about them. This alone, as long as they make political achievements, they will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and then sent someone to notify Huang Hu and Shamoke, and asked the two to lead a hundred flying tiger battalions to accompany them, and then went to the backyard.

This trip to Wu County involves exploring the terrain and making a layout, which is not something that can be completed in a day or two, so I have to talk to Huang Yueying and Sun Shangxiang.
