Liu Chan then chatted with Shen Zhong alone for a long time, and told him what he had learned from Second Uncle Guan about the deployment of Jiangling City, the situation of the garrison and the change of guards, and the guards at the city gate...... Wait for these details to be communicated to him.

By the way, he hand-drew a sketch of Jiangling's city defense and handed it to him along with the "process for defending Jiangling" that he had prepared before coming to Jingzhou.

"Things are dead, but people are alive. Even if I write a process, it may not be all the same as what you see, and you still need to observe the real situation in the city on weekdays, compare the two, and act cheaply. ”

"Yes!" Shen Zhong said that, seeing that it was only the two of them, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Heir, Li Er and Hu Li are both smarter than me, such an important matter...... I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of missing your big thing! ”

Halfway through speaking, he was in a hurry, and added with a red face.

"Don't think about it." Liu Chan patted him on the shoulder, "The ruler is short, the inch is long, you have to believe my way of looking at people." Now that the task is up to you, you just have to think about how to complete it. ”

Shen Zhong nodded again and again and said yes, he may not be very confident at this time, but he absolutely believes in Liu Chan.

After explaining the matter of staying in Jiangling, Liu Chan should also prepare to go.

"Steward Zhao, are the ship's supplies ready?"

"The young master can rest assured that everything he needs has been prepared. According to what his subordinates saw last time, it is expected that the defenders of Eastern Wu will not find out. ”

Liu Chan nodded, Steward Zhao has always acted cautiously, since he said it so firmly, he should be foolproof.

In the afternoon, Liu Chan and the remaining 500 men boarded the ship in batches in cloth clothes and scattered on the merchant ships of Steward Zhao to act as husbands and guards.

As soon as Steward Zhao arrived in Jiangling, he contacted other businesses that planned to go to Dongwu and made an appointment to go with him today.

In this era of war and chaos, especially on the side of Dongwu, there are quite a lot of mountain bandits, and if they can go with the Zhao family firm with strong defense power, other businessmen can't ask for it.

Liu Chan's armor and weapons were mixed in, and a large number of merchant ships covered for him without knowing it.

As for horses, they are a kind of goods, and they can be cleared openly.

The so-called "crossing the river in white" is not all dressed in white, pretending to be assassins like wearing linen and filial piety.

In fact, Bai Yi here is almost the meaning of cloth clothes, that is, to let his elite pretend to be merchants.

With a standard answer in front of him, Liu Chan was naturally happy to copy his homework and play such a hand before Lu Meng.

Of course, there is still a difference in strategic goals, and he is not whimsical to rely on 500 people to capture the city of Soochow at this time.

Not to mention that it can't be done at all, even if it can be done, it is meaningless, and it will only disrupt its own strategic direction with one bad move.

"Childe, let's go to Wu from Lukou. Baqiu and Lukou are both the gateways of Soochow, but Bachu is adjacent to Dongting Lake, which is an important place for Soochow to train its navy, and it is inappropriate for the fleet to go rashly. ”

Liu Chan nodded: "You have already walked through it, just arrange the route by yourself." ”

"Yes."

At this time, Liu Chan was observing the terrain and routes of water and land, comparing them with his abstract map, preparing to draw a more detailed topographic map himself after going through this experience.

Stepping on a little bit and taking advantage of enemy-occupied areas to train troops by the way is the goal of this operation.

……

In fact, this time the white-clothed crossing of the river was even smoother than he expected.

At this time, the two families of Sun and Liu could not help but trade, and the merchants were all old acquaintances, and they were quite generous, and the goods on the merchant ship were only roughly looked at and then released.

Lao Zhao threw over a few urns of good wine, and the defending soldiers laughed so much that they almost saw the back molars......

After arriving at Lukou, the huge team parted ways.

Liu Chan and his entourage changed from boat to chariot and horse land transportation, all the way to the southwest.

Their route was to go to Luo County first, and then take a boat along the Xiangshui River to the south in Yuluo County, so that they could bypass Dongting Lake and go straight to Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County.

At this time, Linxiang was the Changsha City of later generations, but it was not in the same place as Linxiang of later generations.

Of course, the main purpose of this trip is to find Doctor Zhang, not to attack the city.

However, he said that along the way, as long as he was far away from the city, Liu Chan's team began to march according to wartime standards.

Of course, the various flags were replaced with featureless five-color flags, and it was not at all clear from the appearance which army it was.

With the 300 regular army as the backbone, they played the role of passing on the help and training Hu Li and other recruits.

This is the first official march of Hu Li and others, although they practice weekdays, but after all, it is only more than a month, and many details are still lacking compared with veterans.

"Hu Li! How many times have you said it, waist and horse are one! Shake my crotch up, don't move my upper body! Li Er followed Hu Li's side and patiently taught the temporarily promoted tun chief equestrian skills.

Hu Li has actually made very rapid progress.

Equestrianism could not be done quickly, and in a month's time, other soldiers could only ride slowly.

It will take at least a few months to ride a horse.

As for being proficient in fighting on horseback, and even riding and archery to ensure a certain accuracy, it should be counted in years.

"You! As a commander, you must always pay attention to the formation flag and military flag when marching, and once there is an order, you need to lead your subordinates to complete it in time, don't always stare at the soles of your feet! ”

"Yes!"

The formation is not just a square for 500 spearmen and a block for 500 archers...... It's as simple as in the game.

Others don't know, but at least Liu Chan, who has followed Zhuge Junshi for many years and studied by himself, is not like that.

Most of the time, a commander has a spearman, a sword and shield man, as well as an archer and crossbowman.

Each of the smallest combat units has both close-range and medium-range strike capabilities, and then changes to form larger arrays according to the needs of the battlefield.

Moreover, Liu Chan's soldiers, spears, knives, and bows and crossbows will be trained to ensure that they can be switched at any time.

Therefore, the requirements for every junior officer are not low.

These also need to be practiced with practice.

Now Liu Chan is much easier, and at the beginning, he could only rely on him to do these things himself.

At this time, he continued to observe the terrain and landforms, and further refined the map according to the reports of several scouts.

Well?

Scouts from the north-east direction sent warning flags.

"Stop!"

As soon as the order is issued, it is immediately transmitted through the command system composed of officers and flags, and the army stops in response, like an arm-and-finger, and feeds this information back to the scout team.

A moment later, the scouts in groups of three immediately reported in one person.

"Report! Major General, there is a mountain in front of our team, there is smoke in the mountains, the birds are far away, and the sound of shouting can be faintly heard, as if there is a war! ”

"Oh? Have you ever found out what is true and false? ”

"It's too far away to be found."

"The team turned to the northeast and slowed down, and then explored and reported."

"Yes!"

Dare to move forward and make do, which is also based on common sense and information.

The pressure of Eastern Wu at this time came from Guan Ershu to the west of Xiangshui, and Sun Quan's Happy City north of the Lujiang River - the Cao Wei Yuzhou Front Army on the Hefei side.

The heavy army build-up is also in these two aspects, and when he enters Changsha County, he will not encounter a large force of Sun Wu troops.

In addition, the situation is in the mountains again.

Wu is mountainous and mountainous, and Shanyue is not a specific race, but a general term for bandits in this area.

Some of them were exiles, some were defeated wealthy clans, and some were ethnic minorities, and these people did not obey the constraints of Sun Wu's rule and went into the mountains to resist the government with arms.

According to his own memory, Sun Quan at this time should have been based on Lu Xun's suggestion, and he also launched a vigorous internal crackdown on crime like himself-suppressing bandits.

"Report! Major General, there is a bandit village in the mountains, and the Wu army is pulling out the village at this time. ”

Really.

"Wu Jun can have backup and stay behind under the mountain, but there can be secret sentries and scouts?"

"Nope."

Liu Chan pouted secretly, he was really unprofessional.

"How many Wu troops are attacking the village? How well equipped. ”

"There were hundreds, but there were very few in armor." The scout replied with a smile, "...... Looking at its tactics, it does not look like an elite. ”

If you have something to say, it's better to say it directly, it's easy to get internal injuries if you hold it......

It seems to be an ingredient such as a county soldier.

Liu Chan rolled his eyes and decisively decided to go up the mountain to take a kick, but pride could not breed.

So he straightened his face and said: "Although the Soochow Army is ...... Less. But after all, it is an official army, and the enemy should not be taken lightly. ”

"Yes, my subordinates know their mistakes."

After Liu Chan finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "The whole army is wearing armor, and the flag is silent, ready to enter the mountain!" After entering the mountain, he listened to my orders and waited for an opportunity to attack Wu's army. ”

Now that the weather is getting hotter, it is not as good as before, if you march in armor, you will be tired and tired before you fight.

That's why scouts need to be spared to avoid being ambushed in the unarmoured state.

As soon as he finished speaking, several prompts immediately popped up under Liu Chan's field of vision.

[In enemy territory, trigger "Survive the Dead"]

[All-terrain adaptability increased to: Excellent]

[Physique improved to: Extraordinary physique]

The order was given, and the whole army immediately followed the order.

This is the benefit of private soldiers, and no one questions why they backstabbed their ally Wu Jun.

They only recognize Liu Chan, Liu Chan said that whoever he fights, then he will fight, and whoever cares what army he is!

In this way, Liu Chan's troops put away the drums and five-color flags, and the whole army marched quickly towards the northeast mountains......
