The generals in the tent were all discussing how to capture Xiangyang.

The generals tightened their brows, and although their morale was high now, they had no clue about Xiangyang County, or more specifically Xiangyang City.

Even with Xue Jia's wisdom, in a short period of time, there is no way to take it lightly.

No way, the Donghu people had to fight Xiangyang for six years, and the Han army was already small, so there was not much advantage in the strong attack.

In addition, in Xiangyang City, there are also stone-throwing cannons that Shizhou Hao Department relied on to become famous.

With this kind of weapon to defend the city, it is impossible for the Han army to easily capture the city as before imagining it.

Do you want to ask Emperor Guan Sheng to put some water again?

It's okay to change someone, anyway, when today's son is blessed by the ancestors and ancestors, it's not impossible to take turns to please.

For example, Emperor Guangwu is good, Emperor Guangwu raised troops in Nanyang that year, and Nanyang is also known as the southern capital.

Now that Xiangyang has been classified into Nanyang and changed to Xiangyang County, it is also reasonable to ask Emperor Guangwu to go down to the next mortal and smash four or five meteorites, right?

Putting aside these seemingly unreasonable ideas, although Xiangyang City cannot be taken lightly, the Han army also has certain advantages.

With the current momentum of the Han army, there must be many people in Xiangyang City who are willing to return to Han.

In addition to the strong attack, making good use of this part of the people, and attacking from the inside will be the key to recovering Xiangyang.

However, after all, there was still no way to take it lightly, so the generals in the account were silent for a while.

In the end, Liu Ke made up his mind and said:

"Since Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, then we will first divide our troops to take Jiangling and Jiangxia County, and then recover the other cities in Xiangyang County, so that Xiangyang will become an isolated city."

"When the time comes, we'll make another decision."

"Yes!"

The generals nodded and said yes, no matter how they hit Xiangyang, the first step is to turn it into a lonely city that should not be called the earth and the earth every day.

"Yue Shaobao led the three generals Shalibe, Jing Daorong, and Banihan, and 30,000 soldiers and horses to capture Jiangxia County."

Yue Shaoqian received the order, and the generals no longer bothered Jiangxia County.

Since it was Yue Shaoqian who led the troops, he would definitely be able to capture Jiangxia soon.

Moreover, Sharibel and Jing Daorong are both fierce generals, and Banihan, after so many years of growth, has also shown a certain ability to lead troops, and they can be regarded as usable people.

As for Gangneung-gun.

Again, as long as you have hands.

According to the news from the embroidery envoy, the current county guard of Jiangling County, Shi Zhouhao is very old and is seriously ill, and he has not stayed for several days.

Most of them still don't know the news that the Han army has broken through Shi Zhouhao and successfully crossed the river.

Now Gangneung County, as the first line against the Han army, is also the largest city near Gangneung Port, but I am afraid that the people in the city are already panicking.

As long as the soldiers are under the city, the city can be broken.

Since he has hands, Liu Ke simply named Li Jingji's name:

"General Li, tell me, how to fight this Jiangling County?"

Li Jingji is also aware of his defeat in a hundred battles.

But Rao is like this, he still carefully analyzed the battle situation, and then said his strategy:

"Jehokudo."

"Our army can emulate the battle of Emperor Zhaolie when he was in Nanjun, and he will never go north."

"Our army can be stationed in Jiangling Port, and then send another general to attack Yiling and occupy the upper reaches, and finally, it is the most critical step."

"There must be a general who will go deep into the hinterland of Gangneung County and cut off the route between Xiangyang and Gangneung, so as to prevent Xiangyang's armaments, grain and grass, and troops from entering Gangneung in a steady stream."

"In this way, Jiangling is a lonely city, and with that Shi Zhou Haoxian, he is seriously ill, and with the momentum of our army, he will definitely be able to take it lightly."

Nam-gun at the time of Emperor Zhaoyeol is now Gangneung-gun.

This battle is the follow-up to the Battle of Chibi, and it can be said that there are many famous generals.

The coaches are Liu Bei and Zhou Yu, it was Gan Ning who attacked Yiling, and it was Lu Meng and Zhou Tai who supported Gan Ning.

The garrison in Jiangling was Cao Ren, and the troops stationed north of Jiangling were supported by Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Man Chong, plus Wen Ping and Li Tong of the two mobile troops.

According to common sense, Gangneung is impregnable.

But Guan Yu was fierce, and went directly into the enemy's hinterland of the North Road, cutting off all support from Gangneung.

Although it was not completely successful in the end, it only dragged the five troops and horses north of Jiangling, and finally let Li Tong and Xu Huang support successfully, but there is no doubt that the fighters were brought.

The specific process is not clear in historical records.

But the strategy came from Zhou Yu's hand, and it was probably no problem to cut off the support north of Gangneung through the North Road.

Therefore, even if this remark came from the mouth of Li Jingji, it has been successful in history, and no one has any objections.

Even Yue Shaoqian made a special statement of praise to express his recognition of Li Jingji's words.

Liu Ke thought twice and agreed.

After all, Li Jingji's ability has risen faster than him, and now he has both Wen Tao and Wu Strategy.

It's just that you can't lead troops to fight, and the level of soldiers on paper is still okay.

In particular, he always likes to analyze the gains and losses after each battle, and in terms of strategy, he may really be stronger than most of the generals in the battalion.

That is, it really can't be beaten.

"What Li Qing said is good, to attack Xiangyang, you must first make Xiangyang City a lonely city."

"Attacking Gangneung, naturally, the same, we have to cut off all possible support from Gangneung first, so that Jiangling's hearts can be discouraged."

"Spread my military order, Leshun led 5,000 troops, attacked Yiling, Hou Junyan and Li Jingji, led a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, traveled around the river, and the north road!"

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses assigned to Yue Shaoqian, as well as the soldiers and horses who attacked Yiling and Jubei Dao, Liu Ke still had 30,000 people in his hands.

The generals also have Di Han, Lei Lan, and the lord Bo Lu Fengfu.

Attacking a Gangneung without support, the county guard is seriously ill, and the people's support is available, it is still stable.

As for Zhao Ning's words, after crossing the river, the person will be gone, don't worry about him.

And even if Li Jingji's Jehoku strategy fails, it doesn't matter.

At least you can retreat.

As long as you stall for time and hold off support, it's enough.

"This Li Jingji is true"

Liu Ke felt that it seemed that he could develop a new use of Li Jingji.

Go deep into the enemy's hinterland, fight guerrillas, and fight delaying wars.

It's okay to defeat the battle, as long as you can delay the enemy's support soldiers and horses, and lose the battle in exchange for victory in the overall situation, there is no problem at all.

Li Jingji's ability can ensure that he has a basis for advancing and retreating, but the enemy is on him, but it really wastes time and delays the fighter.

And

Liu Ke looked at Ma Kuo directly.

Ma Kuo was beaten away because of the unfavorable attack on Guiyang County, and he was directly pushed to the end, and now he is just a school captain.

However, he still entered the account and participated in the discussion.

After all, everything is lost, and it is still reliable.

Yue Shaoqian also likes to use these delicate little garbage.

Seeing that the emperor had been looking at him and listening to the marching plan, Ma Kuo frowned, and subconsciously said:

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be aware that Gangneung is an important town, and there must be heavy troops stationed there."

"Our army can cross the river, and the follow-up grain and grass have not kept up, if the light troops advance rapidly, once there is a mistake, the consequences may be unimaginable!"

"It's better to rest for a few days first, and then mobilize siege equipment, have enough preparations, and it's not too late to march again."

Hearing Ma Kuo say this, Liu Ke also had a bottom in his heart:

"Ma Qing doesn't have to worry too much."

"Zhou Haoxian, the guard of Jiangling County, was seriously ill and had no one to preside over the overall situation, and now it is an opportunity to fight."

"If you wait for his physical condition to improve a little and be prepared, it will not be easy to attack the city."

"After General Le captures Yiling, General Hou and General Li will cut off the north road, so that the Jiangling defenders will be trapped in the isolated city, and they will definitely be able to take it lightly."

"Without further ado, if there is no further doubt among the generals, then immediately unfold according to the plan, and there must be no mistakes!"

The generals thought for a while and felt that it was indeed feasible.

Fighting Jiangling is indeed not a big deal, and the follow-up capture of Xiangyang is the top priority.

And compared to Li Jingji, they don't trust Ma Kuo even more.

Ma Kuo not only lost the battle, but he also ran away!

Now, the final decision has been made in the tent, and all the generals have agreed and gone their separate ways.

——

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

The hour is near, and the night is deep.

Shi Zhouhao was nearly seventy years old, and he was still a brave general when he fought the world, but now he is old, his head wind is repeated, and his brain is chaotic, and he has not stayed for half a month.

Today is just a little better, not long after falling asleep, I am in a daze, cold, and I can hear someone whispering in my ear.

Shi Zhouxiao turned over first and opened his eyes angrily.

Seeing that the person who was calling him by the couch was actually a close confidant, he knew that he had something important to tell him, so he hurriedly propped up the bed and sat up.

"My lord, Hugh Tubi is here, saying that the military situation is urgent, please read it."

Seeing that Shi Zhouhao was supporting his sick body first, the cronies naturally didn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy, and hurriedly reported the reason succinctly.

"Hmm...... Change! ”

Hearing that it was an emergency military situation, although Shi Zhouhao was very unimpressed in his heart, after snorting, he finally decided to take a look at the situation and then make a plan.

Before he was seriously ill, Shi Zhouhao had already led 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrange defenses along the river, and was also equipped with iron pulleys.

You can't just defeat and let the Han army successfully cross the river, right?

Then you have not actually been heavily arming troops in the past few months, but studying hard, how to make it easier for the Han army to cross the river?

"What's the matter?"

Shi Zhouhao was still quite dissatisfied with Hugh Tubi's sudden intrusion, the military situation is urgent, you have to be polite, right?

The Lingxiu Tubu is just a small vassal under the Eight Ministries, and I am a nobleman of the Shizhou Hao Ministry!

"My lord, something big has happened, the Yangtze River has been lost."

Hugh Tubi was not a stable person in the first place, and coupled with the urgent military situation, he was really a little confused.

As soon as he saw Shi Zhouxian, he dragged his feet to the hall, and only felt that the county guard's condition seemed to be improving, so he roared.

“.”

"How-how so??"

As soon as Hugh Tubi said this, Shi Zhouhao was immediately shocked and made another offense, and his face was full of disbelief.

didn't even have time to take care of it, so he didn't have time to rest Tu Bi's faux pas.

It's outrageous.

He remembered that before he became seriously ill, he was also preparing to mobilize grain and grass for Shi Zhouhao, planning to fight a protracted war along the Yangtze River.

Blocked the Han army south of the Yangtze River.

But how long has it been, and the Yangtze River natural insurance has been lost like this?

This is called how Shi Zhou Haoxian can believe.

"If you go back to your lordship, our warships and ships will be unfavorable in battle, and they will be defeated under the bathtub of the Han army, and they will not be able to intercept them on the river."

"The Han army took the opportunity to land at Jiangling Port, and smuggled into Wulin Port with a partial division, attacked the rear of the coastal defenders, attacked the front and back, penetrated the army formation, and there were fierce generals in the army who broke the iron pulley."

"His Royal Highness Shi Zhouhao, he was defeated and died."

Not to mention that Shi Zhouhao couldn't believe such bad news, and when Xiu Tubi first received the news, he couldn't believe his eyes.

After sending scouts back and forth several times in a row, and after repeatedly checking the news, the fact that the Yangtze River was lost was confirmed.

Today, Shi Zhouxiao asked first, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly introduced the results of the check.

"The iron block can also be broken??"

"How did the port of Ulin get smuggled? Isn't he Shi Zhou Hao Ah Di on guard? ”

"And the bathtub, what bathtub can beat a ship, and his bathtub is made of gold particles?"

Shi Zhouhao first raised his anger directly on Shi Zhouhao's body, how much waste does it take to lose the Yangtze River?

Crossing the river in a war?

even omission of the defense line of a port, directly allowing the enemy's partial division to land casually!

Hugh Tubi sighed, and simply told Shi Zhou Haoxian about the entire battle.

It's no wonder that others are fighting this battle, Shi Zhouhao really doesn't have to carry the cauldron.

Whether it is crossing the river in a bathtub or picking a block with a gun, there is no reproduction in the history of war.

is the only one before and after, not to mention Shi Zhouhao, even if it is the resurrection of the dead begging Yan Silie, it may not be able to prevent it.

"This"

After Shi Zhouxiao listened first, he fell into silence for a while.

"My lord, it is imperative to beware of the surprise attack of the Han army on Jiangling."

"Right now, the adults haven't shown up for nearly half a month, the people in the city are panicked, and the morale of the army is also a little unstable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight with the Han army."

"It's better to abandon the city directly, take the soldiers and horses to Xiangyang for temporary refuge, and then rely on Xiangyang Jiancheng to slowly deal with the Han army."

"In Xiangyang City, there is Dahe Lu in charge, and his son Dahe Chucai is rarely talented, and his wisdom is not under Liu Bin."

"Coupled with the soldiers and horses brought from Jiangling, even if it is a Han army, there is nothing to do, adults can sit back and relax and recuperate with peace of mind."

"Find an opportunity to unite the Qiyan Department and the Puqian Department, and when the Han army has been attacking Xiangyang for a long time and morale is low, then pursue it with heavy troops, and you will definitely win a big victory."

Seeing that Shi Zhouhao was shocked and couldn't come up with the slightest decree, Xiu Tubi was inevitably a little anxious in his heart, so he simply said his thoughts.

"Hmph, do you think I'm that Ma Ku?"

"If you can't fight, you will flee, and the general will be in Jiangling, see what Liu Pheasant can do to me."

"You don't have to persuade more, early tomorrow morning, you will send a message to the counties of Jiangling, and then send a letter to Dahelu, ordering him to bring troops to help, and he will fight to the death with that Liu Pheasant enemy in Jiangling!"

Shi Zhouhao Xian actually felt in his heart that Hugh Tubi's idea was fine.

He also attaches great importance to Xiu Tubi, this kid Yunwen Yunwu is a rare talent in Shi Zhouhao's affiliated tribes.

Although he is not as talented as Oga Chucai, he is also a talent, and in terms of military affairs, he is stronger than that Oga Chucai.

It's just that the mouth is not very pleasing.

And just like what Hugh Tubi said, with the current situation, Jiangling and Jiangxia will be lost sooner or later.

Only Xiangyang City may be defended for a little longer, so it is better to run away with the living force as soon as possible before the Han army comes to attack Jiangling.

But when he thought about it, if he abandoned Jiangling and fled, it would be too embarrassing.

Although the Donghu people were defeated again and again under the Northern Expedition of the Han army, they did not fight before they were beaten, and they ran away directly.

And at his age, in this physical condition, he ran away like a lost dog.

It is better to sit in Jiangling, let Xiangyang continue to support, rely on the city of Jiangling, and fight to the death.

Even if he dies, he is still dying on the battlefield, which is much more worthy than dying of illness and bed.

"It's stupid!"

Xiu Tubi couldn't see it, he didn't want to run away, in such a martial environment as the Donghu people, if you run away cowardly, you will definitely be attacked.

But the fact is that it is the best thing to do to save the vitality and run away!

You are stubborn in defending Jiangling, you are cool, old and decrepit and died on the battlefield, maybe you can still fight for a name.

What about Xiangyang?

What should I do with Shi Zhouhaobu?

What about the big picture?

Therefore, Hugh Tubi directly scolded.

"Get out!!"

Shi Zhouxiao couldn't bear it first, and directly asked people to go up and cover their mouths.

Then he gave a military order to defend in a daze, and sent people to Xiangyang to seek support, and fell into a deep sleep.

But the next morning, there was another whisper in my ears:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"
