The efficiency of intelligence in these years is so inefficient, this is something that cannot be helped.

If there is no confidential information from the upper echelons of the army, it would be impossible for him to find out the location of the grain storage site in the army, let alone the real deployment of troops in the grain storage area.

During the battle of Guandu that year, Cao Cao also learned that Yuan Shao's grain land was in Wuchao after Xu You came to vote, and the reality of Wuchao was also told to Cao Cao by Xu You, the former upper-level strategist of Yuan Shaojun.

After that, Cao Cao won a big victory in Guandu.

So, although Shi Bao regrets it very much, but in fact, you really can't blame Shi Bao's slow response in this matter, if you don't open God's perspective, it is impossible to know where the first army's grain storage is located, and it is impossible to know what the strength there is.

It can only be said that Shi Bao really has no God's perspective, and he missed the best opportunity to decide Jingnan in a war.

But it was not without gain, Zhang Cheng finally divided his troops to defend Changsha by 5,000 troops, resulting in him now in Liling County, with only 10,000 people to defend.

Seeing that things are already like this, Shi Bud can't complain about anything. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng finally divided his troops, and now the ratio of troops under Liling County has changed from two to one to three to one, so try to fight.

After waiting for his soldiers to return to the army, Shi Bao began to build siege equipment and tried to attack Liling County.

As a result, both sides saw some hope.

Shi Bao found that although there are still 10,000 defenders in Liling County, the Liling County guarded by 10,000 people is not very difficult, giving people the feeling that the morale of the defenders is not high, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, and it is not impossible to break through.

And Zhang Cheng also found that although the Shu army outside the city has the advantage of troops, the number of soldiers who can really attack the city and create pressure is only about one-third of the remaining soldiers.

Looking at it this way, it is not impossible for him to hold Liling County.

In this way, the two sides went from not daring to fight each other to thinking that they could win. A 180-degree turn.

Under the city of Liling County, the battle suddenly became fierce.

On the contrary, Luo County, which was on the frontal battlefield, fell into a short armistice period at this time.

The war has developed to this point, whether it is Zhu Ran or Zhang Xi, they need to sort out the existing information to a certain extent, so as to decide what they want to do next.

Especially here in Zhang Xi, I always feel that the development of the war seems to be a little different from what he expected.

It's not that Zhang Xi noticed that something was wrong, but that since the dispatch of the troops, the development of various wars has been a little too smooth.

This kind of smoothness is not the kind of unnatural smoothness, but how to say it, Zhang Xi now doubts that the Eastern Wu Army is a little too cooperative with himself? !

What do you want them to do, what are they really like, it's too cooperative, right?!

Zhang Xi doesn't feel that he is the kind of master who knows things like gods, and the war has developed to this point, and Zhang Xi's old mistake has been committed again.

Won't there be anything special in this, Zhu Ran, this old boy is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, digging a pit and waiting for himself to jump? !

Zhang Xi was muttering in his heart, but fortunately, the person who went out with him this time was also Pang Tong.

The more Pang Tong listened, the more he felt that Zhang Xi was really thinking too much, so he directly asked: Which coach formulated a strategy at the cost of the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers? !

In the Battle of Baqiu, Zhu Ran lost at least 4,000 water troops, and in the Jiangxia Water Battle, Zhuge Ke directly buried the losses of more than 10,000 water troops in Dongwu Guang, and there were more than 10,000 people.

This is a real battle damage, and it can't be faked.

The navy is the barrier of Eastern Wu, if Zhu Ran dares to set a trap with the ships and soldiers of the navy like this, I am afraid that the first person who will not spare him is Sun Quan.

As for the summary of the battle situation from other regions, it can't be faked, not to mention anything else, there is news from Pan Jun of Lingling County, saying that he has recovered the entire territory of Lingling County, and at the same time captured the Lingling Taishou Lu Kai appointed by Eastern Wu, you say it is a trap specially designed by Zhu Ran?!

To design such a trap, you have to pay more than 20,000 soldiers, plus a Taishou. Do you believe it or not, Lu Xun was the first to fight hard with Zhu Ran!!!

Therefore, Pang Tong thinks that it is really not that Zhu Ran has any traps and back-hands, it should be that the generals of Dongwu are really pulling their hips this time, and all their reactions have been calculated by us.

From the beginning of the war to the present, Soochow has never grasped the initiative in this operation, although there are occasional counterattacks in the situation, but there is never a chance to turn the tables. This is the real reason why Zhu Ran is now trapped in Luo County and the Han army marches smoothly.

After some persuasion by Pang Tong, Zhang Xi dispelled the "cautiousness" in his heart.

Actually, Zhang Xi can't be blamed for this. After all, the last time Jiangling defended the battle, it was Zhang Xi's "cautious" who made a great achievement, procrastinating and refusing to divide his troops to rescue Xiangyang, and finally delayed until Zhou Yu couldn't help but launch a counteroffensive in advance, so that Jiangling finally had enough troops to defend it, instead of following Wang Ji's advice and rashly dividing his troops.

Therefore, sometimes, Zhang Xi's character can really save lives.

Available now. The opponent is not Zhou Yu after all.

Facing an opponent of Zhu Ran's level, if Zhang Xi is so procrastinating and hesitating, it will be a bad thing.

Therefore, Pang Tong is very glad that he came to Jingzhou this time, otherwise, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Xu Shu to partner with Zhang Xi, I am afraid that he will really miss the fighter.

This time, Pang Tong persuaded Zhang Xi to re-examine the current situation.

In terms of the water army, Yang Wei led the Jiangling water army, and continued to entangle with Liuliu in Baqiu, with the continuous attrition of the Baqiu water army, the number of times Liuluo took the initiative to leave the water village to attack was getting less and less.

In terms of Xiakou, the Xiangyang Navy Army, under the leadership of Wen Ping, is still entangled with the remnants of the Xiakou Navy led by Ding Feng.

In terms of Ding Feng's ability, it is indeed worse than Wenpin, but the combat effectiveness of the Dongwu Navy is higher than that of the Xiangyang Navy Army. As long as Ding Feng is not brain-dead enough to make a mistake like Zhuge Ke, it is impossible for Wen Ping to win another big victory.

But at the very least, the two sides are now evenly matched, and neither can have the upper hand with each other.

After a comprehensive analysis, at least the control of the Yangtze River in the area from Baqiu to Wulin is still in the hands of the Han army, and Zhang Xi does not have to worry about the logistics supply of grain and grass for his army for the time being.

In terms of the army, the Han army can almost be said to have completely suppressed the armies of Eastern Wu.

On the Jiangxia side, Wen Qin and Biqiu Jian each led 10,000 soldiers, and continued to attack the city in the north of Jiangxia, Wen Qin had already led the troops to Anlu County, and Biqiu Jian was even more ruthless, and directly approached Jiangxia County to govern Xiling County.

If this fight continues, the northern part of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia will be captured by these two people.

The reaction of the Eastern Wu side was that Zhuge Ke personally led 10,000 soldiers from Shaxian to reinforce Anlu and confront Wenqin.

In all probability, it will be difficult for Wen Qin to capture Anlu, which has reinforcements, but Xiling, which is not supported by reinforcements, may also be difficult to block Biqiujian's attack.

As for the four counties of Jingnan, the situation is even more needless to say, it is unprecedentedly good.

Lu Dai of Wuling County had 20,000 troops, but he was pinned down by Jiang Wei under the city of Wuling County, and Lu Dai tried to go out of the city to fight Jiang Wei several times, but was suppressed by Jiang Wei and the Southern Army of the Han Dynasty.

Unless Lu Dai has the courage to give up Wuling County, otherwise, in addition to protecting Wuling County, his control over Wuling County is already very weak.

Not to mention Lingling County, Pan Jun has already begun to adjust the appointment of officials in each county of Lingling County and began to govern the local area again.

And Guiyang County has no one to take care of for the time being, but the place itself has no strategic value, and the other three counties will go down without a fight.

Now the key place is still in Changsha County.

In the north of Changsha County, Zhu Ranbai sent a Xiajun County, and now he is stationed in Luo County, but the number of troops is only 20,000.

In the south of Changsha County, Zhang Cheng led 10,000 people to block the attack of 30,000 people in Shibao, which was another place that Zhang Xi expected, whether it was Zhang Xi or Pang Tong, they couldn't understand how Shibao came out with 30,000 troops all at once.

All in all, there were 50,000 people on Zhangxi's side, 30,000 people on Shibao's side, a total of 80,000 people, and more than 30,000 soldiers besieging Zhu Ran's troops on two fronts. As long as you think about it, it is not impossible to decide on the possibility of a World War I.

In terms of the comparison of troops, it is indeed less than three to one, and the Han army has the advantage, but the advantage is not very large.

But the problem is that Zhu Ran needs to divide his troops into two fronts. The loss of any frontline may cause a serious imbalance in the balance of forces.

And Zhu Ran now has one of the biggest disadvantages, that is, there is a big problem with his logistics supply.

If Zhu Ran had the four counties of Jingnan in hand and the local guards, he would not have to worry about logistics at all. As long as he resists the front line of Changsha County, there are three counties in his rear to help him supply grain and grass.

But now, Wuling County is too busy to take care of itself, Lingling County has been completely lost, and Guiyang County is cut off by Shi Bao's troops, and Zhu Ran can only rely on the local hoarding of grain and grass in Changsha County to fight.

Although it is said, Zhang Xi also knows that Zhu Ran must have hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Changsha County. But there will always be a time when all this food and grass will run out, right?!

Three months, half a year is really not good, Zhang Xi directly besieged Changsha County for a year, and he didn't believe that he Zhu Ran could go down.
