Cao Pi sent out a three-way army to attack Wu, and Cao Ren on the west road needed to resist Guan Yu.

The army in the middle of the road fought fiercely, neither taking advantage of the land, nor being good at water warfare.

Zhu Huan, who stepped on the experience of his predecessors, relied on the multi-point defense system of Wet Whisker City, Wet Whisker Dock, Dongguan, and Xianxi that he had built over the years, and dragged the "General of the Army" Cao Zhen here to the death, and he was not allowed to advance an inch......

Although Cao Pi and Sima Yi, who supervised the soldiers and horses in the middle of the rear, were in a hurry, this was a hard bone to gnaw down with their strength, and Sima Yi had no way to break the enemy head-on.

But although Cao Pi was waiting, he was not waiting for the Mandate of Heaven to choke to death when Zhu Huan ate the cake directly...... He was waiting for Cao Xiu on the East Road to break the enemy and make a contribution, or Guan Yu on the West Road to make a mistake.

As long as any of these two roads break the enemy and go south, then the army in the middle of the road will naturally live.

In contrast, it is clear that the Eastern Route Army is a little more promising.

From the distribution of troops, it can also be seen that Cao Pi hopes for Cao Xiu's journey.

Cao Xiu not only took Zhang Liao's headquarters, but also the soldiers and horses of the 20th Army in five states, not only that, but Cao Pi also gave him a "big baby".

Belch...... Of course, it doesn't refer to Zang Ba, strictly speaking, this thing is the difficulty he has increased for Cao Xiu.

The real big baby is a man named Zhao Yan and Zhao Boran, who went out with Cao Xiu as a military advisor in this battle.

Although this person's fame is not as loud as Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others, he is also one of the "Four Famous Men of Yingchuan" who was as famous as Chen Qun, Xin Bi, and Du Xian.

To say that Zhao Yan can be appointed as the most important military advisor in the battle of Wu, it is not because he seems to be as good as Jia Xu, nor is he as treacherous and vicious as Cheng Yu, and of course it is not as clever and scheming as Guo Jia.

But he also has his own specialty - reconciling the generals' various departments.

This may be difficult to detect at first glance, but only those who have used this person know what a rare skill it is.

When he was the first county magistrate, there was not a single adverse incident caused by discord among the subordinate officials during his term of office.

Now that he is a military advisor, although he can't come up with any magic tricks, he miraculously makes the soldiers and horses of the 20 armies in these five states work together, and they don't dislike each other.

And with the passage of time, there is a tendency to cooperate with each other and gradually develop tacit understanding......

Don't think it's an easy thing to do.

Although Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses are strong, who are they?

Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, as well as Cao Xiu and Zhang Liao's headquarters soldiers.

The trouble-making Qingxu Haoba and the arrogant generals under their command account for a considerable weight.

In normal times, even if there is no mutiny, fights must be a daily occurrence.

But now they are all honestly obeying the command, pointing where to fight.

Even if Liu Chan saw it, he was afraid that he would exclaim: "Damn, where did this come from!" Get me one too! ”

Although Cao Xiu had a military advantage in the sky over the river before, he fought back and forth with Zhu Ran and Quan Cong under Lu Fan, and even suffered a small loss.

But that is also because many soldiers who are not accustomed to water warfare have not yet adapted, and only some of the soldiers who have specially trained in water warfare in order to deal with Soochow have performed better, and this part of the people has suffered the least losses.

Coincidentally, these soldiers who have practiced water warfare are from Qingxu.

"Gentlemen, most of our soldiers are now accustomed to taking boats, and the enemy generals have also become accustomed to our troop routes......" Cao Xiu, who was facing the map, suddenly turned around, his eyes flashed, "It's time to sacrifice a killing move." ”

Zang Ba and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of stomach Cao Xiu was selling in this gourd.

They went out of the cave before the army, crossed to the west by boat, and attacked Wuhu by quarrying and oxen.

This can be regarded as a classic tactic of attacking the south from the north and crossing the Yangtze River.

If you haven't been beaten, you haven't been beaten, why do you listen to the meaning of Cao Xiu's words, as if you still have a hand with yourself?

Cao Xiu looked at Zang Ba's puzzled eyes, and showed a meaningful smile: "Do you still think that this is the only way for us to enter the army, let alone the rebels of Eastern Wu?" ”

Well?

When Zang Ba and the others heard it, what they said was wrong.

If the soldiers go out of the cave and don't cross west, can they still cross east into the sea?

Seeing this, Cao Xiu gestured to Zhao Yan with his eyes, and the other party immediately understood, looked at Zang Ba and said with a smile: "Hehe, Liangchenghou is good at using soldiers and can fight well, he must have guessed it." Yes, our army is going to cross to the east! ”

When Zhao Yan speaks, he always raises the other party a few words first, and then talks about things, which is one of his skills to reconcile the generals.

People like to listen to good things, but when people in the world like to say different opinions, they demean each other a few words by the way, and naturally they don't have Zhao Yan's skills.

Zang Ba saw that it was Zhao Yan who spoke, and immediately became a little more pleasant: "But the military division, if you take the sea route, although you can bypass the Dongwu Navy and the Yangtze River moat, it is difficult to escape the power of the sky, and the waves are turbulent, which is more dangerous than the Wu army." ”

Just kidding, the soldiers under their hands, the wind and waves of rivers and lakes still don't understand, go to sea?

When the time comes, they will all be fed to the big fish, and I'm afraid that there will be no bones left!

"Huh~ Liangchenghou misunderstood." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Although I am not good at military affairs, and I am not ignorant, how could I make the army do such an unwise act?" ”

"...... that?"

"Our army crossed eastward to seize Beijing!"

"Kyoguchi?" Zang Ba rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, this is not completely impossible.

Jingkou is located in the east of Jianye, and Wuhu, which is the barrier of Jianye in the capital of Eastern Wu.

Moreover, Jingkou is the waterway hub of Danyang, Huiji, and Wu counties.

The land of Dongwu is rich in waterways, and the transportation of grain is a lot of battles, once the capture of Jingkou, it is bound to cause a major blow to its grain route!

But they can all think of it, how could Soochow not be guarded?

"The military division, the tyrant is not ignorant of geography, the east crossing of Jingkou is not better than the west crossing, and the river in front of Jingkou is wide and the water battle is beneficial. If our army engages the Wu army there, I am afraid it will ......."

Zang Ba was embarrassed to say it too bluntly, but he felt in his heart that such a fight was to hit the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings, isn't this a food delivery to people?

I don't think the Soochow Navy is shooting comfortably, right?

Zhao Yan paved the way for a long time, and at this time it was finally time for Cao Xiu to speak, only to see that he changed his previous majesty and solemnity, and took the initiative to step forward and hold Zang Ba's hand.

This unusual intimate action immediately made Zang Ba vigilant.

After years of crawling, he immediately realized: This product probably didn't hold back a good fart!

Cao Xiu said with a smile: "The fanfare march will naturally not succeed, and I will personally lead the army to face the enemy on the Western Front, and give Liangcheng Marquis 500 light boats, and 10,000 people who dare to die to raid Jingkou!" This battle is related to the overall situation of Wu, think about it, you still have to rely on Liangchenghou! ”

After that, Cao Xiu also shook Zang Ba's hand, as if written on his face, "Our Great Wei's Jiangshan Sheji depends on you"!

Zang Ba narrowed his eyes dangerously, and was speechless for a while.

Hehe, the words are nice, 10,000 people who dare to die...... It means that the brothers brought by Zang Ba and Qingxu are better buried on this river?

Zang Ba squinted at Cao Xiu, and Cao Xiu's smiling face seemed to become a little dangerous, and he held Zang Ba's hand harder and harder: "What, Liangchenghou...... Do you want to be loyal to your country? ”

The two of them were tense, and in Cao Ying, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
