"You've all read the official documents, what do you think? To put it bluntly, there is no defense. I looked at Guan Yu and Zhu Jinlong and said.

"I have ordered the Shangtun Department to pack up and wait for the eldest brother to return. Now that the eldest brother has arrived, we can immediately retreat to Jixian. Guan Yu said.

I ignored him and asked Zhu Jinlong, "What does Zhu Sima think?" ”

Zhu Jinlong didn't expect me to ask him, so he hesitated: "Since it is the order of the Zhonghou, then it is best to obey the order, so as not to mess up the overall situation." ”

I was displeased to see that both of them advocated retreat. Throw down the sentence "Mess up the big picture? Sun Lulu woke me up again when she returned. After saying that, he went straight into the city, returned to the courtyard, and rested in the house.

The 100,000 army went straight to Zhuo County, and it was about to arrive in a few days. actually asked me to retreat to Jixian County, isn't this discarding the results of the previous few days. In this case, how could I still sleep, I kept tossing and turning on the couch, thinking about whether to retreat or not.

I don't know when I fell asleep, in my dream I abandoned my armor and returned to the field, and she lived a free and easy secluded life, and suddenly Sun Lulu came with a large army to force me out of the mountain, and woke me up.

stroked the Hanzhu on his forehead, and heard someone shouting outside the door: "Captain, captain." ”

When I stayed and opened the door, it was Sun Lulu, who was in the dust. Behind him stood Guan Yu and the three Simas of the Tun Cavalry Battalion, and Zhang Fei was actually there. couldn't help but be annoyed: "Didn't you tell you to defend Fang City?" How did you get back? ”

"The bird county order asked me to deal with the official documents, and I was very annoyed, so I was annoyed, so I came alone. If the eldest brother wants to blame, then he will be punished. As long as I don't let me go to Fangcheng again. Zhang Fei knelt down, with a straight face.

Thinking that he is a tiger general on the battlefield, it is really my mistake to let him deal with civilian affairs. "Get up. If you have something to say, don't let me punish you at every turn. Come in too. ”

He turned around and sat down next to the desk in the hall while getting dressed. Sun Lulu and Zhang Fei stood at the top right, Guan Yu, Zhu Jinlong, Sima Dingping in Zhongtun, and Sima Li Hao in Xiatun all stood at the top left. When I saw this, I knew they had argued in private. Needless to say, Sun Lulu and Zhang Fei are the main defenders, and Guan Yu and the four are the main ones.

"Sima Sun, why do you want to keep it?" After glancing at them, I said slowly.

When all six of them heard my words, they were shocked. The expression was: How do you know he's in charge?

Sun Lulu woke up from a startle and arched her hand: "The west of Jicheng is the west mountain of the remaining veins of the Taihang Mountains, and the north is the Jundu Mountain of the Yan Mountains. As Yan people said: "The land of Youzhou, the left is surrounded by the sea, the right is Taihang, the north is Yong, the south is the river, and the country of Chengtianfu is Chengtian." It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one plain exit in the south. It's fairly easy to defend. However, Xianbei is already ready to move, if he inserts a foot in the north and attacks Jicheng from the Juyong Path, Jicheng will be attacked by the enemy on its back, and it will be very difficult to defend it at the time. ”

"Not bad. Since it is very difficult to defend Jicheng, can you tell me where our army should defend? ”

"Retreating to Liangxiang City, thirty miles away, is the only choice. Liangxiang City is the second barrier of Jixian County in the south, the county leads the holy river water as a moat, the width is several zhang, and the wall is high and solid, and the defense is very easy. ”

"The second barrier? Liangxiang County? Since Zhuo County can't hold it, Liangxiang County can hold it? Is Liangxiang City bigger than Shangzhuo City's defensive scale? Liangxiang County, even if Zhuocheng goes through another defensive battle, his defense scale is still much stronger than that of Xiaoxiao Liangxiang City. Since Liangxiang City has been lost, is there any barrier to rely on in Jixian County? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Come forward." I dipped my index finger in herbal tea and drew on the mahogany table: "Crossing the Juma River fifty miles southwest from Zhuo County is Yu County." From north to south, the Juma River turns east at the southernmost tip of Zhuo County, joins the Shengshui River and flows into the Canghai Sea (Bohai Sea). Therefore, the entire Zhuo County is sandwiched between the Juma River and the Shengshui River. If the rebels want to attack Zhuocheng, they must take the ferry city of Chiyicheng. As long as the city is in our hands for one day, they will not dare to cross the Juma River north and attack Zhuocheng. ”

"What does the eldest brother mean to capture the rebel army occupied by the city and choke the enemy's main way to cross the river?" Guan Yu asked.

"Not bad. That's what I thought. Since our army knew that Zhang Liang's 100,000-strong army was about to march into the city, it was impossible for the rebels in the city not to know. Moreover, they must have thought that the 100,000-strong army was menacing, and the thousands of Han troops stationed in Zhuocheng would not only know the news, but would immediately retreat north for the sake of the overall situation. Therefore, at this moment, the defense of the city is the most lax. As long as we suddenly come to the city, the city will be captured. If you see if it is feasible or not, you may wish to talk about it if you have different opinions. I pushed the teacup on my left side to the side in a gesture of humility.

They looked at each other, and Zhu Jinlong stepped forward and said: "This method of attacking its unpreparedness is quite clever, and I am willing to listen to the teachings of the captain and lead my troops west into the city." ”

I glanced at the rest of the people, "What about you?" ”

They resigned themselves to each other: "Obey the orders of the captain." ”

"Just listen to the eldest brother."

"Good. I now assign the task. Guan Yu, Zhu Jinlong. ”

The two of them said in unison: "Yes." ”

"Guan Yu will temporarily go back to Jixian County to take care of the city defense affairs on my behalf, and Zhu Sima will go with me. My second brother doesn't know much about managing military affairs, so you have to be careful to help. By the way, take care of your own private affairs. The Shangtun Department was temporarily commanded by Zhang Fei. ”

"This? Humble ......," Zhu Jinlong said gratefully.

"Don't say much, just do what you are told." I turned to Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, you, me, and third brother are all new to the army, and they don't know a lot of things. In particular, fighting is not based on individual bravery, but on the bravery of the whole team. In addition, the general commander of the army must have a war strategy. When you go to Jicheng, you must learn from Zhu Sima and watch more "Spring and Autumn". ”

As soon as the words came out, I realized that Guan Yu's preference for watching "Spring and Autumn" was caused by me. I couldn't help but be scared into a cold sweat. This detail is the same as in the romance.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will carefully study the way of commanding the army. It's just that the eldest brother is gone, so be careful in everything. Guan Yu replied.

"Hmm. You also have to be careful. Sun Lulu! ”

"Humble duty!" Sun Lulu took a step back and arched her hand.

"Don't guard Liangxiang City, Zhuocheng will be handed over to you from now on. Zhuo County can make its own decisions about all defenses, and you don't have to pay attention to the orders from Ji County. There are only two requirements, and if you do it, whether you win or lose, you will be meritorious when it is over. ”

"Captain, please."

"First, Zhuocheng must not fall within ten days." In case I fail to go here, these ten days are reserved for Guan Yu to deploy in Jixian County.

Sun Lulu thought for a moment and replied, "Ten days is ten days." ”

"Second, no matter what happens in Yu County, you are not allowed to send troops without my edict." I've made the decision to defend the city. As long as the city and Zhuocheng were in the hands of the Han army, the Yellow Turban's plan to go north would be wiped out. ”

"Order."

"Good. Now I'm relieved. Zhang Fei, Ding Ping, and Li Hao listened to the order. I stood up.

"In!"

"The three departments will be pulled out immediately, and they will not necessarily reach the Juma River tonight."

"Order."

The dispatch has been decided, and I will form a scout detachment of Zhang Defu, Qiu Ming, Wang Laowu, and Ting Baihu, led by Deng Mao, and the army will set off first.

Three thousand men rode lightly and rushed wildly on the North China Plain in early May, like a giant python, roaring towards the Juma River.
