Huang Zu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although Nanchang has been conquered, Zhou Yu's main force is still there, and he has already captured Chaisang, Mr. Ziyang doesn't know?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Ye still had an innocent expression, and said disappreciatively: "That's why we plan to take the land route." ”

"The lord invited Mr. to help Huang break the Yu Chapter, but now that the war has not subsided, how can Mr. leave early?"

Huang Zu has a rough personality and is straightforward when he speaks.

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "Huang Taishou conquered Nanchang, the place of Yu Zhangzhi, drove away Sun Ben who stole here, and possibly shot Jiangdong general Xu Kun, our original goal has been achieved, as for the main force to eliminate the entire Jiangdong, whether it is Liu Jingzhou or Huang Taishou, I'm afraid they are not so well prepared, right?" ”

"Sir, please be clear."

Huang Zu heard that Liu Ye had something to say, so he waved his hand and sat next to him, intending to listen to Liu Ye's thoughts and suggestions.

Liu Ye replied: "Zhou Yu is the governor of Jiangdong, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are the main force in Jiangdong, and destroying them is equivalent to cutting off Sun Quan's hands and feet, I am afraid that not only will I win a Yuzhang, but now that the two sides are evenly matched, dare to ask Huang Taishou how much confidence he has, or how much price he intends to pay?" ”

Huang Zu shook his head and replied: "I also know that Zhou Yu has a lot of elites, but he took my Chaisang Water Village, and half of the warships fell into the hands of Zhou Yu, and these ships were provided by Xiangyang, and I didn't plan to destroy Zhou Yu's main force, I just wanted to recapture Chaisang and open up the waterway, otherwise the supply line of the soldiers would be cut off." ”

Liu Ye asked: "That is to say. Huang Taishou doesn't have to be with Zhou Yu to the death? ”

"It's nature."

Seeing Huang Zu nodding in affirmation, Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "But Xu Kun was either killed or seriously injured by an arrow, this matter is closely related to Zhou Yu's strategy, he will definitely fight with the general to the death, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Sun Quan when he goes back." ”

Huang Zu frowned and asked sideways, "So what?" ”

Liu Ye replied: "If Huang Taishou wants to fight with Zhou Yu and decide life and death, then show his means on the land of Yuzhang, but if you want to preserve your strength and accept it when you see it, it is better to follow Sun Ce's captivity of the people of Jiangxia, you can take the people of Nanchang back to Jingzhou, there should be many Jiangxia people among them." ”

Huang Zu asked puzzledly: "But Zhou Yu took my ship, and stayed on the main road of Chaisang and did not leave, how easy is it to move tens of thousands of people?" ”

Liu Ye disagreed: "It's just a matter of losing a few hundred warships, Huang Taishou has been able to defend tens of thousands of people, and it is not a loss to calculate, and there is also a Xu Kun who is uncertain about his life and death, so it can be said that he still has to earn." ”

"We also go by land?" Huang Zu asked with humble eyes.

"Watch and see."

Liu Ye took the map from Zhao Yun's hand, pointed to the two points on the map and explained: "In fact, there are several lines to go from the west of Yuzhang, in addition to the mountain road of Jianchang when Pan Gongzi came, you can also take the two waterfront roads in the southwest of Nanchang, and finally you can enter Liling in Changsha County." ”

Huang Zu pinched the root of the mountain on the bridge of his nose, thinking that he was migrating with tens of thousands of people, and if Zhou Yu led the army to attack from the rear, would he suffer greater losses because of this?

Before waiting for work in Nanchang, he barely managed to draw with Zhou Yu and Xu Kun after occupying the geographical advantage, and Huang Zu was particularly worried about another big defeat.

Seeing Huang Zu's hesitation, Liu Ye seemed to see his concern, so he added: "If Huang Taishou is willing to give up the remaining half of the warship, he can use the warship to take a section of the waterway, which can save most of the distance."

Huang Zu looked embarrassed: "These warships are all aided by the lord, if you can't bring any of them back, then too."

Liu Ye spread his hands and said helplessly: "Zhou Yu is stationed in Chaisang to wait for work, if Taishou wants to break through from the waterway, he will directly fight more and less, it is unlikely that he will pursue it by land, maybe he wants to wait for us to run out of food, you can only choose between people and boats, if Huang Taishou uses soldiers like gods and Jingzhou soldiers to be one as ten, he can directly defeat Zhou Yu from the front, then I will talk nonsense." ”

Pick a man or a ship? People in their right minds will be chosen.

In addition to the 50,000 people in Nanchang, Huang Zu and Liu Pan also had 30,000 soldiers.

The supply of 80,000 people along the way is not a small number, especially the consumption before entering Jingzhou to settle down, Jiangxia's finances cannot afford it at this stage.

And to be able to conquer Nanchang this time, Liu Pan should share the fruits of victory if he made a contribution, and 50,000 people also have the other party's share.

Thinking of this, Huang Zu hugged his fists at Liu Ye and said: "It is difficult to decide whether to retreat or fight, I want to discuss with Pan Gongzi, and I will not stay if Mr. Ziyang wants to leave, I can't hold a banquet due to busy military affairs, so I can only wait until I return to Jiangxia to meet again." ”

Liu Ye returned the salute: "Liu Yuanjun has a lot of obstacles to us, we plan to go back to Xiangyang by boat directly after arriving in Changsha, if Huang Taishou has spare strength, can you inform the Changsha officials in advance and prepare some ships for us."

"Hmm" Huang Zu groaned slightly, and then nodded and replied: "The four counties of Jingnan have just been replaced, and Huang is not very familiar with them, but it doesn't matter about this matter, Pan Gongzi's station is in Youxian, and he has friendships with Changsha and Guiyang Taishou. ”

Liu Ye bowed slightly: "There is Lao Taishou to thank me on my behalf." ”

Huang Zu waved his hand and said: "Pan Gongzi has also come to Haidu, and he is currently in the military camp outside the city, Mr. Ziyang can thank him personally." ”

"I can save it." Liu Ye nodded in response: "I'll pack up and leave the city later, and then thank him in person." ”

Huang Zu said goodbye to Liu Ye and went out of the city, and Zhang Shuo followed closely as the governor of the rear army.

Zhao Yun commanded to pack up and ask to leave the city within half an hour.

The speed of the soldiers is also applicable when retreating, and it is easy for the enemy to see through the intention and block it in a targeted manner to cause losses.

Gan Ning listened to a rough idea in the courtyard, and when Huang Zu and Zhang Shuo left the city one after another, he couldn't help but go into the house and ask with his fists:

"The two armies haven't fought yet, why did Mr. persuade Taishou to withdraw the army? Not everyone is afraid of Zhou Yu. ”

Liu Ye shook his head disapprovingly: "I know that General Gan is brave, but if the war is to be won, you have to pay attention to timing, and if you don't withdraw now, you will soon run out of food, so it's better to take it when you see it and wait for Jiangdong to be chaotic." ”

"How can Koto mess with itself?"

Gan Ning pinched his chin and showed an incredible expression.

Liu Ye twisted his beard and smiled: "General Gan has forgotten? You shot the enemy general Xu Kun, although this person does not have great power like Zhou Yu, but in terms of official position and official title, he is worthy of the name of the first general in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu is the driving force behind this ending, if Huang Taishou can retreat with his whole body, what face will he go to see Sun Quan? ”

"Ahh

Gan Ning couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he failed to participate in the political struggle in Yizhou, and finally fled to Jingzhou in embarrassment, saying that Zhou Yu was in big trouble this time, maybe he would follow the same path as himself?

Zhou Yu's situation was different from that of Gan Ning at that time, but even this would cause Gan Ning's reverie, and at the same time he was impressed by strategists like Liu Ye.

This person who plays with his brain and mouth seems to be more ruthless than playing with a knife.
