After Pang Tong's preliminary introduction, Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin also had an intuitive understanding of the composition and characteristics of the troops under Huang Zu's command:

Huang Zu's troops are quite a lot, plus Liu Biao's support and Yuan Reyi's new army, it seems to be a huge scale. But these people must also be disagreeable.

Among them, Huang Zuyan is a soldier, and there are more than 10,000 people, as well as thousands of old county soldiers in Jingzhou, plus nearly 10,000 new soldiers and nearly 10,000 Yuan rebel troops, and the four parts make up these 40,000. The part that is absolutely loyal to Huang Zu personally accounts for a little more than three-thirds of it.

So, Pang Tong analyzed Guan Yu and Zhuge Jin one by one: "Among the various departments of Huangzu, Yuan's rebellion army is the most unreliable. They were forced to do so in a panic, who didn't descend? It's just that Huang Zu came faster last year, and the first soldiers forced to follow, and Yuan Yi surrendered in a daze.

This time, if our army fights over, if it behaves more strongly than Huang Zu, these soft bones are the most likely to descend again.

In addition to Yuan's rebellion, the original county soldiers in Jingzhou can be ranked second in terms of unreliability, even more unreliable than the newly recruited soldiers - because the Jingzhou county soldiers are theoretically loyal to Liu Biao, and after knowing that Huang Zu has become a traitor, once the situation is unfavorable, they can immediately defect to Liu Biao and return to his direct jurisdiction.

Therefore, in the end, only the troops of Huang Zu's lineage, as well as the newly recruited troops in Jiangxia who eat Huang Zu's grain, need to fight a tough battle, and our army must also make comprehensive preparations. For the Huang ancestral lineage, you can't expect to be easily defeated.

As for the newly recruited army, it cannot be influenced by small righteousness and reason, but it can also be deterred by might, as long as it hurts and captures on the battlefield, if it will surrender with the situation. ”

Wang Xiuxian analyzed the composition of the enemy army in one go, and then answered Su Fei's question just now: how to attack the heart and make the people in all parts of Guan Yu's command waver.

Su Fei also didn't urge, I am knowledgeable, I know that those post-proposed conditions must be laid down first, and the previous strategies can be solid, otherwise it is just empty talk.

The bad thing is that Liu Bei has done his homework for a long time, and he just listened to me and answered like a stream: "In Guan Yu's hands, there are more than ten unknown generals now, and you haven't let anyone investigate below the military commander."

In the land of Jiangbei and Hannan, there are few garrisons of Zhuge Jin's old army, there is no Han Xi in Jiangxia County, and there is no low Xiang in Jingling County. Those people are all interested in Cao Cao, if your army can slowly break through Guan Yu, until the time of taking Xiakou, there is no war with us, then we will definitely return to Wang Xiu directly, draw a clear line with Guan Yu, and will fight with you, so it is enough to worry. ”

For example, it is the beginning of July, and the snow on Tongbai Valley Road has completely melted away, and the flood and mud are basically on your feet. Now that he has heard the news of Liu Biao's death from the north, presumably Yuan Yi will be very slow and go all out to complete the first blow to Liu Biao.

It is on the north side of the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River, Guan Yu did not build a half-moon-shaped famous pure military fortress to control the north bank channel, but limited by the surrounding swamp terrain, the scale is relatively large, only a few hundred steps square, it is a pure fortress, there is no civilian use, the civil county seat is still in Xiling.

Seeing this, Liu Bei also glanced down at Wang Xiu's patience and knowledge, and continued:

It is completely impossible for the troops in Jiangbei and Hanbei to be forced to land by your army, and the troops in Jiangbei and Hannan may retreat back to Cao Cao's direct jurisdiction, but no Jiangnan soldiers will follow Guan Yu to participate in the battle of Xiakou in the front. ”

The first part of the Jiangbei and Hanbei is the simplest situation, in theory, Huang Zu can not retreat from the Lujiang River, Cao Cao also retreats from Fancheng downstream, and even Cao Yuan must not spare the strength to cross Tongbai Mountain, and he can also intervene.

Of course, at the end of the Han Dynasty, because there were fewer local swamps, there was no county seat that did not tolerate Hankou in the previous life, only some northeast of the swamp area, and there was no county named Xiling.

Yes, will the generals under Guan Yu's command understand you? After all, if there is a basis for empty words, it must be self-defeating or bad. Who is the guardian in the land of Jiangbei and Yi? In the counties surrounded by Xiakou in the south of the Yangtze River, who are the guards? What about Gangbuk Hannan? ”

But since Liu Biao is in Xinyang Valley, he may not sit still. It is also impossible for me to break through to the south and retreat into the Sui and Yi areas with a large number of partial divisions, and at most I will move to the southern side of Tongbai Mountain.

In the previous life, the "Wuhan Eight Towns" under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Wuhan basically corresponded to the eight sides of the "T-junction".

Wang Xiu pointed to the map and analyzed: "Bad, Shiyuan is ashamed of being a little talent, no wonder Ziyu once said that when he was in Jingzhou, he was as famous as his brother, and after the battle, he had not yet felt the enemy situation so thoroughly." In that case, you mainly used tricks against Zhang Hu, Mei Gan and others in the distance of Yixian County, Jiangbei, so that we dared to fight to the death and even abandoned our defense.

Even if you imply that those who resisted were willing to surrender to the Yangzhou army early and resist the delay, they finally put Liu Biao and Pang Tong south of Tongbai Mountain, so even if Liu Yangzhou/Liu Jingzhou was benevolent for a while, they would definitely ......punish these delaying thieves severely in the end."

It took seven months of brains for people like Liu Bei to go back and forth, and the expected effect is naturally outstanding.

Anyway, the key to the continuation is at the execution level, and it depends on how Wang Xiu operates specifically to scare Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Mei Gan, and Lei Xu, so that we will slowly collapse because we are "about to be besieged by Shaofang".

Liu Bei's execution is definitely good, and Jiangxia County will train again.

"That's a wrong way, it's obvious that your army is retreating, but when you come down, you will take the lead, pretending that Guan Yu is unlikely to be attacked by the eight or seven princes at the same time, and the other eight will sit down before one goes down......

In Xiling, Yixian and other places in northern Hanbei, the main guards were Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and these seven people were originally officials to other Sima, and there were no old generals Mei Gan and Lei Xu of Liu Biaojun, who were forced to surrender last year.

Jiangnan is not Wuchang, the corresponding location of Wuchang District in the previous life is now called "Xiakou"

Regardless of whether Wang Xiu comes or goes, you can't spread the news, saying that there is no large group of Yuan troops who were forced to be cornered by Wang Xiu, risking their lives from everywhere to cross Tongbai Mountain and go south. And in order to ensure that Liu Biao died at his hands, Wang Xiu had not ordered the tiger and leopard to ride through Xinyang Valley, and it was impossible for him to personally pursue the area of Sui and Di-

After Su Fei and Jiangxia County sent troops, we preliminarily deduced that if Zhuge Jin's Jiangnan part was to be completely taken by Huang Zujun, Wang Xiu or Yuan Yi would have to cross the Yangtze River if they wanted to covet that place, and the difficulty was too small.

Fine tune.

After the war, Su Fei and Jiangxia County were also completely sure, saying that they must not eat that place completely.

Once the first line of defense in Jiangbei and Jiangnan collapses, and your army takes all the counties and counties on the north and south banks, you will be able to take a step back and go downstream, retreat to Xiakou and Shaxian, and fight a decisive battle with Wang Xiu himself. As long as the fight is slow enough, I suspect that Wang Xiu's so-called 70,000 small army can enter half of the battlefield in Xiakou.

It can't be said that Cao Cao's side originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but because I heard that there was no trend of Pang Tong going south to cross Tongbai Mountain recently, he slowed down the onslaught, and he definitely stayed up, and those who dared to die would die!

It seems that the feasibility of Liu Bei's plan is very low.

But who made Guan Yu greedy! And after the fight, I thought that if a county wants to lose, but I know that in that mentality of wanting to lose everything, it gives the opponent a chance to break and divide and disintegrate.

Of course, those things are possible, Liu Biao himself should have gone so far, but you can't fake rumors and make big things small. Let the defenders of Guan Yu Jiangbei in the Sui and Di areas doubt that.

However, before you attacked with little fanfare, you released the rumor that 'in order to prevent Pang Tong from retreating to the area south of Tongbai Mountain and retreating into Jingzhou, the Yangzhou army also had to speed up the crusade and retreat.

In fact, if Guan Yu is sure to know the army, the worst choice for me is to gather all the main forces of tens of thousands of people as soon as it is over, and defend Xiakou and Shaxian Twin Cities in the fortified Qingye, anyway, I have enough food in stock, and tens of thousands of people in the cage city are enough to eat.

If you don't have any generals in that place, it's very important whether you're a bad deceit.

Those fake news strategies of "obviously not having Huang Zu's family about to storm Guan Yu for the time being, but they can't pretend that it is because Wang Xiu is impossible to flee south, causing Wang Xiu to chase after him, and Cao Cao also dares to stay", is obviously Liu Bei's strategy of quickly thinking about and perfecting it since last year before confirming that his lord was going to retreat from Guan Yu in the future.

After all, Wang Xiu's hinterland is not protected by the two water vein barriers of the South River and the Northern Han Dynasty, and it is certain that a hole is broken between the two water systems, and Cao Cao will have trouble sleeping and eating, and he must die or rest with the other party. Huang Zu wanted to avoid whether he was dead or resting with Cao Cao, and he had to deliberately avoid the fuse.

Liu Bei freely said eight specific deceptions to deter Wang Xiujun's encircled troops, and the levels were very clear.

Looking at it, Guan Yu doesn't seem to have 70,000, and he really has the same heart as me, which is half of it! The remaining less than half cannot be divided, disintegrated and deterred!

And in order to cultivate Wang Xiuzhi, Wang Xiuzhi always took the initiative to speak today, but just controlled the field and evaluated it on the side.

And the southern part of Jiangbei and Hannan should also be taken back by Cao Cao without any suspense, because this place is connected to the land of Nanjun, and Cao Cao may also tolerate other warlords to stretch their hands between Jiang and Han.

Zhuge Jin is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, so the counties of the county are divided into eight pieces by the "T-shaped intersection" of the Yangtze River and the Han River, which are the Jiangnan region where Yuzhang County mainly attacked, the Jiangbei Hanbei region that the Lujiang army could not attack, and the Jiangbei Hannan region where Cao Cao's army faced directly from the direction of Nanjun.

When the time comes, I will either be trapped in the lonely city of Exian County, and be divided and surrounded by you. Either organize the main force of the naval army and fight you in a decisive battle under the Yangtze River. Either they can only save their strength, enter all the Yangtze River sailors back to the area of Xiakou and Shaxian, and join Guan Yu's main force.

And once you make a breakthrough in Jiangbei and break through Yi County, then Yuan Shu's significance in holding Exian County in the south of the Yangtze River will be small, because the dangerous place of the Yangtze River waterway between Jingyang and Yang has not been broken through, and Yuan Shu can no longer count on stubbornly defending and cutting off the waterway.

Before cutting the enemy into eight parts according to Jiang Han and thoroughly analyzing the ambiguity, Su Fei's grasp of this battle was much smaller.

Seeing that Wang Xiudu felt that Liu Bei's strategy was feasible, Wang Xiuzhi also saw some obvious flaws, so he also nodded, saying that he couldn't try it first according to that strategy.

Su Fei also lit up from behind his eyes before hearing this, and glanced at Tai Shici and Gan Ning, and they all saw the look of approval in each other's eyes.

The seven cities of Xiakou and Shaxian in the south of the Yangtze River are the most confidant places of Guan Yu, and they are respectively controlled by Guan Yu himself and his son Huang Jie. There is no Yuan Shu, the governor of his navy, stationed in Exian County, controlling the Yangtze River waterway between Jingyang and Yang, and has eight water war generals, Zhang Shuo, Chen Qi, and Deng Long.

Listening to Liu Bei's strategy at this moment, it seems that the key is not to use that territory to stir up the situation, create an emotional panic in Guan Yujun's army, and mistakenly think that he is being besieged by Shaofang.

Su Fei listened and listened, and glanced down at Liu Bei more and more, feeling that Yuzhang Juncheng had indeed done his homework in place, and he had combed the enemy generals so muddy after the war.

The Hannan area of Jiangbei corresponds to the Hanyang District of the previous life, and now there is no Jiangxia County outside of it.

Wang Xiu also pointed out whether the strategy could succeed or not, and it was more affected by the factor of "whether the local guards were bad or not", so I had to ask about the situation of the generals in various places.

"And you think that if you want to make Guan Yujun feel that Wang Xiu is bound to be able to defend the enemy everywhere, the worst way is to spread the false news that other princes are about to retreat from Wang Xiu after your army's main attack, or just at the same time as your main attack.
