There is one thing to say, Zhu Ran's strategic vision, not to mention compared with Zhou Yu, is not half a star worse than Lu Meng and Lu Su.

Even Zhou Yu, who is in Jiangxia County, can resist the threat brought by Wenpin, while taking the time to observe the public security situation, and keenly pointed out that the key to breaking the situation now lies in the public security Zhu Ran's vision, which has always been around the Yangtze River and Wuling County.

It wasn't until Zhou Yu wrote a letter to remind Zhu Ran that Zhu Ran suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, the public security, as long as the public security is not lost, then Shibao in Lingyang will not dare to go south easily, and the Jiangling Navy must also keep the grain road unblocked.

Even if it is hard attrition, it is not our Soochow Army that has suffered big losses.

In other words, in fact, there is no need for Zhu Ran to share a high or low with Zhang Xi on the Yangtze River, he can send reinforcements by land to relieve the siege of public security.

As long as the 30,000 Shu troops who crossed the river were defeated outside the public security. There is no need to even completely break it, as long as the Shu thieves are dragged into a protracted war, the four counties of Jingnan will be safe.

Moreover, in Zhou Yu's letter, he also analyzed a wave of his judgment with Zhu Ran - Zhou Yu believes that the Shu side is not ready for a full-scale war, so with Zhang Xi's IQ and strategy, he should not choose to deliberately expand the scale of the war.

In other words, Zhang Xi should not continue to increase troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and once he can't quickly conquer the public security, he will most likely choose to maintain the status quo.

Although the number of troops used in this war is quite large, the scale should be controlled to the extent of border friction.

This is Zhou Yu's judgment of the overall situation, not only requiring sufficient military capabilities, but also requiring a high enough political vision, which Zhu Ran is even more incomparable.

But Zhu Ran is good, he is not a self-righteous person, and he is also very convinced of Zhou Yu's judgment, and immediately began to dispatch Lukou troops, transferred 10,000 people, and led the army by Liuluo to rescue Wuling County, obeying Lu Dai's command.

As for Zhu Ran, he continued to stay in Lukou, but the navy would not be dispatched again, and it was only used to guard the Lukou Water Village.

And as Liuliu led 10,000 Eastern Wu troops to Wuling County, after converging with Lü Dai and Lü Ju, by the way, Zhu Ran's latest strategic arrangements were also conveyed.

To be honest, Lu Dai and Lu Yi did not see the importance of public security, and even after Lu Dai arrived in Wuling County with his troops first, he also made arrangements for Lingyang for the first time, trying to recapture Lingyang County.

But the problem is that Lü Dai brought 10,000 people over, and Wuxi on the side of Wuling County was so noisy that Lü Ju's troop gathering could not be completed for a while. In addition, Shi Bao has not made any movement since he captured Lingyang, which made Lu Dai a little vague and hesitant.

And with the arrival of Liuluo, bringing Zhu Ran's new orders and related explanations, Lu Dai also fell into thought.

Lu Dai is also a famous general in Eastern Wu, and he is now fifty years old, if he hadn't stayed at the border of Jiaozhou all the year round to deal with the Shi family, his current reputation would not be like this.

Although in terms of strategic vision, Lu Dai is indeed not as good as Zhou Yu and others, as long as someone mentions it, the gap between him and Zhu Ran is really not very big.

After understanding Zhu Ran's intentions, Lu Dai also began to adjust his combat arrangement.

Leave 5,000 people to Lu Ju, let him cooperate with the remaining county soldiers in Wuling County, first hold Wuling County, watch Shibao not far to the north, and take 5,000 Changsha soldiers to bypass Lingyang County and go straight to the public security.

Of course, considering that Shi Bao in Lingyang County is not incompetent, it is necessary to take into account that Shi Bao may have detected his movements in advance and divided his troops to intercept him, so Lu Dai asked Liuluo to take his 10,000 Lukou reinforcements and set off two days later than himself.

As long as Shi Bud dared to divide his troops to intercept him, Naliuluo immediately turned around and attacked Lingyang.

Of course, it is best to be able to capture it, and it can sweep away the threat of Wuling County, but if it can't be captured, at least it can force Shi Bao to return to the army, so that Lu Dai can smoothly bypass Lingyang and support the public security.

With his own 5,000 people to support the public security, if the military strength of Shu and Wu is further lowered, even if he can't retreat from the enemy and drag the 30,000 Shu army, he can still do it.

In this way, most of the threats of the four counties of Jingnan have been lifted.

The rest is probably to fight consumption, fight patience, and finally see how the upper layer ends.

In this way, after Lu Dai made arrangements, he immediately left, staying a little late for two days, and also set off from Wuling County to the stone buds in Lingyang City, which was a little uncomfortable.

Lu Dai's whereabouts, the scouts sent by Shi Bao have indeed detected it. Lingyang is only more than 80 miles away from Wuling County.

Shi Bao really wanted to divide his troops out of the city to intercept Lu Dai's advance, after all, according to intelligence, the other party was only 5,000 people.

Finding a suitable place to ambush another hand is not without the possibility of inflicting heavy damage on the enemy.

But the problem is that just when Shi Bao's leading army set off less than twenty miles from the city, he received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry again - there was a force of 10,000 people of the Eastern Wu Army, which set out from Wuling County again and came to the north.

Shi Bud immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

In order to ensure the success rate of the ambush and interception, Shi Bao divided his troops this time and set out with 8,000 soldiers, and only set up a false flag in Lingyang County, pretending to have a lot of troops, but in fact only 2,000 people were left to garrison.

If this is to make people play a trick off the mountain. That's where the trouble comes in.

Shi Bao thought about it carefully, and decided to give up the task of dividing troops to intercept this time, and immediately led the army back to Lingyang, and at the same time hurriedly warned Zhou Tai and Li Qiu behind him, and asked them to be alert to the Wuling direction, where the major shareholder Wu Jun came to help.

After all, they still have 20,000 people in their hands, and even if 5,000 soldiers come to the rescue, they can still intercept it.

In fact, Li Qiu and Zhou Tai are not incompetent, and they will not relax their vigilance in the direction of Wuling just because Shi Bao is in front.

As a qualified general, when going to the battlefield, it is natural to take into account various situations. Whether it is excellent or not is only because the consideration is not comprehensive.

Li Qiu and Zhou Tai both have certain preparations for the possible reinforcements in the direction of Wuling, and it cannot be said that there is no emergency plan at all, but the problem is that because Shibao has blocked the passage between Wuling County and the public security, their preparations are indeed insufficient.

After getting Shi Bao's warning, Li Qiu and Zhou Tai of course activated their own emergency plan. The two discussed it for a while, and the main focus was to send reinforcements around a point.

Li Qiu stayed behind to continue to monitor the movements of Gong'an City, while Zhou Tai led 10,000 soldiers to intercept reinforcements from Wuling County.

But in this, there is an intelligence gap in it.

Shi Bao didn't think that the 10,000 people who stayed in the city were also going to the public security, and he thought that the 10,000 people were coming to Lingyang, where he was stationed.

Therefore, Shi Bao only told Li Qiu and Zhou Tai that there were 5,000 Dongwu reinforcements going to the public security.

And according to such information, Zhou Tai led 10,000 soldiers to intercept 5,000 Dongwu reinforcements, which was not a light enemy.

But then, the state almost suffered a big loss.

After arriving at the interception site selected in advance, Zhou Tai did have a hard time with Lu Dai, and at the beginning of the battle, Zhou Tai did suppress Lu Dai's reinforcements for a time, and successfully blocked the pace of Lu Dai's army marching to public security.

According to this rhythm, as long as Zhou Tai continues to intercept for three or five days, after consuming the morale and number of soldiers of Lu Dai's army, it is not impossible to win.

But the problem is that in the afternoon of the next day, the 10,000 Lukou Army led by Liuliu suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

The battlefield situation became 10,000 people in Zhoutai, and the most important thing against the 15,000 people of the Eastern Wu Army was that the timing of Liuliu's appearance was also very good.

After a scuffle, Zhoutai was defeated and retreated thirty miles to Xiazhai, and only about 7,000 people remained of 10,000 people, while the losses of the Eastern Wu army on the opposite side were not large, and the strength was still more than 13,000 people.

At this time, it was Zhoutai's turn to fall into passive defense, and he could only go up and down the main road and try his best to defend and support.

Zhou Tai also knew that if this continued, he might not be able to stop it for a long time, so he could only ask Li Qiu under the public security city for help.

And Li Qiu didn't want to save Zhoutai, but in fact, Li Qiu was very entangled.

Li Qiu still has less than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and the troops used to trap the four gates of the public security are already very thin, if the troops are transferred to support Zhoutai, then the defenders in the public security can completely break through the city gate to intercept and go out of the city to meet the reinforcements of Eastern Wu.

Once this Dongwu reinforcement army of about 10,000 people is allowed to enter the Public Security City, even if Li Qiu saves Zhoutai, they will not have any hope of breaking through the Public Security City.

But if Zhoutai has no reinforcements and can't stop the attack of the Eastern Wu army, it seems that Li Qiu's less than 10,000 soldiers in his hands can't stop the arrival of the Eastern Wu reinforcements.

At that time, it was not Li Qiu who attacked the public security, but that he Li Qiu was going to be attacked by the public security and the reinforcements of Soochow inside and outside.

It's a doomed ending.

So after weighing back and forth, he decided. The whole army went to the rescue of Zhou Tai.

Yes, no one was left, and the public security was directly withdrawn and went to join the state.

Li Qiu thought about it, he and Zhou Tai combined, there were about 15,000 people, and the Dongwu Army, including the reinforcements and the defenders in the public security city, was almost 17,800, and the strength of the two sides was not much different.

If the reinforcements of Eastern Wu are allowed to enter the public security garrison, the Han will not have any advantage in the siege war.

It is better to take the opportunity of the arrival of the Soochow reinforcements to attract the Soochow army, including the defenders in the public security city, to go out of the city to fight and fight in the field. As long as you can win the field battle and the enemy army is defeated, it is not impossible to take the Gong'an City by chance.

In the field, Li Qiu is still sure of winning.

After all, the field combat ability of the Eastern Wu Army is hehe, everyone who understands it understands.
