Chapter 293: Thoughts
"Yuan Shu's department, there is an image of crossing the river? Could it be that reinforcements are coming? ”
After General Zang Ba finished reading, his eyes stayed on the map, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help but think.
Yesterday's battle defeated Yuan Shu's troops, and his troops retreated to the south of the riverbank.
It's just that a day has passed, and the enemy soldiers and horses have chosen to cross the river again and attack!
With this hostile situation, unless it is Yuan Shu and most of the men and horses are coming.
As a famous general galloping in Xuzhou, over the years, Zang Ba has also accumulated good military literacy.
I thought a little more about the battle situation in front of me!
According to the scouts, the department that clashed yesterday was Chen Lan, the general under Yuan Shu's account.
In the case of Chen Lanqi, in the past two years in the land of Jianghuai, and if it was the land of Peiguo previously occupied by Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou, he has made great achievements in several wars.
Although Zang Ba had fought with Chen Lan for the first time yesterday, he could feel that this person was cautious in using troops. Suddenly becoming so aggressive, it is clear that the military situation has changed.
The enemy may have reinforcements coming, and in order to change the commander of the overall situation, and then want to take the opportunity to take the core of Yuzhou, Peiguo?
Could there be any other purpose besides this possibility?
Zang Ba instantly felt a smell of conspiracy, and after sending a letter to Liu Qi, the governor of Pengcheng overnight, his people were prepared for the war in the southeast direction, and they personally led most of the troops to go up with the Zhuyi department to block the attack.
In the early morning of the next day, Zang Ba and Chen Lan clashed again, this time Chen Lan divided his troops to attack him, so it was difficult for Zang Ba to break the enemy in a battle, and Chen Lan's preemptive strike led to the battle in the Zhuyi area, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner and loser.
At this time, Liu Qi, who was in Pengcheng, also received a military report from Zang Ba.
The changes in Yuan Shu's stay in Peiguo, as well as the tendency to go north to fight, added uncertainties to the Xiapi war that was about to be invaded.
However, the overall situation is still within the controllable range, especially Guo Jia has already planned for this, and furthermore, most of the people, as long as they do branch support to ensure Zang Ba's follow-up support, they can do tricks.
In the current situation, Liu Qi had no intention of eating Yuan Shubu in one bite. At least under control, it is best to defeat Ji Ling, Sun Ce and other soldiers, so that the war in the southwest can be considered to prepare for the battle against Yuan Shu, a great enemy who has been operating in Jianghuai for several years.
On the contrary, Cao Cao, after several successive defeats and Ding Yuan of Nanyang as a containment, will find it difficult to pose a threat to him for at least the next few years.
"Envoy, there may be something wrong with the situation!"
Just when the staff members and the generals who had been summoned continued to make an analysis, Guo Jia suddenly spoke up and raised questions.
"Feng Xiao thinks that this Chen Lan's ministry is coming, but there is another purpose?"
Liu Qi looked at the eucalyptus a few times, looked away from the military newspaper in his hand, and looked at Guo Jiadao who was groaning.
Guo Jia bowed his head in response, and his face immediately became solemn: "Envoys, and gentlemen, do you still remember the military report sent by Yu Runan last night?" ”
The land of Runan was controlled by Cao Cao, and it was forbidden by the general, and now it is in the place of Runan. But it doesn't mean that Liu Qi doesn't know anything about the situation in Runan. In the intelligence network formed by him in his early years, there were people in Runan who secretly investigated, including the troops stationed by Cao's army.
That is, under the eyes of Liu Qi and others, Guo Jia continued: "In order to make Jun probe, in the past ten days, the Cao army has retreated, choosing a defensive room, and facing the Cao army in the Jiujiang area in Runan, but it has been strengthened.
Obviously, Cao Cao was worried about Yuan Shu, taking advantage of the danger of others, and then seizing the land of Runan, if he could bring Peiguo into the hands, it would be equivalent to most of Yuzhou's hands, and Xu was also part of Yuan Shu's plan to expand. But there is also a lot of friction between the two parties.
After sending troops to the war, Yuan Shu also sent most of the main forces in, in order to take the opportunity to connect Xu and Yang as one, and then control the entire Jianghuai, do what the staff want, and become the veritable master of Jianghuai. ”
But with Cao Cao as the envoy defeated, Yuan Shu was also worried, and Cao's army would take the opportunity to go south, and seize Shouchun and other important places, plunder grain and grass, and make supplies. He is also suspicious, and there are a lot of troops stationed in Shouchun, and he will never send troops to support him again.
In fact, Yuan Shu and his people are less determined, and they can have this dispute between Zhongyu and Xu, thanks to Sun Jian's advice.
To sum up, Jia thought that the enemy general Chen Lan led the troops to come up, and there were reinforcements later, so there was little possibility of breaking Peiguo.
Chen Lanqi is also a cowardly person, with the number of subordinates, facing the leadership of General Zang, how dare he fight fiercely?
Most of what he did was because of him! ”
Under Guo Jia's analysis, in the hall, all the people nodded in response.
After obtaining the information of the enemy generals, Guo Jia had already read it, so that he was familiar with everyone.
Peng Chengguo was able to recover so quickly, and it was also because of Guo Jiaqi's military arrangements.
Liu Qi remembered the scout who infiltrated Xiapi yesterday, and sent an inconspicuous news at noon today.
Yi Ji Ling was in the camp in the south of Xiapi City, and for two consecutive days, the rapid grain and grass by the waterway was greatly reduced. In the camp tent of Ji Ling's army, the number of fireworks raised every day is not less.
In this situation, sincerity should not appear, especially for a general like Ji Ling, hoarding and grasping the balance will not be so much, and then the grain and grass will be cut off.
In a war, every seemingly small detail can actually determine the change of the war.
Liu Qi remembered the small details that were easily overlooked in the military newspaper sent by the scout a few hours ago, and after unfolding it, he quickly thought of a lot.
He then made it public.
"Ji Ling's department, Xu is secretly sneaking, combined with the encounter of our army in the direction of Peiguo, could it be that he is planning to take the opportunity to attack our rear side? To fight Pengcheng? ”
Guo Jia suddenly said the direction that many people tend to ignore, which is also what Liu Qi thought about for a moment.
This plan, it can be said that with the help of the right time and place, if it is in Pengcheng at the beginning, it will be broken, and it will really be able to catch the department off guard!
Seeing Guo Jia frowning, Liu Qi opened his mouth and mentioned: "Feng Xiao is thinking of Ji Ling, and he won't do such a risky plan?" But there's one person I know! ”
When everyone else in the account looked at it, Liu Qi slowly said a name.
"Zhou Gongjin also!"
……
The sound of the river, in the night, is very crisp.
Hundreds of ships, one after the other, were covered with dense numbers of soldiers.
These ships, even in the moonlight, did not light their torches, but sailed at night with the experience of their sailors.
On the building boat in the middle, Sun Ce, who was wearing armor and looking burly, summed up with the generals, and when he heard the "birdsong" in the distance, Sun Ce issued several more orders.
When the generals returned to their respective ships through the boat, Sun Ce came to the bow of the boat and looked up at the stars overhead.
He then looked back at the direction of Ling County, and said in a low voice: "I hope Gong Jin's strategy is feasible!" Liu Xide, I'm here! ”
