In the fifth year of Jian'an, the ninth day of April.

Zhang Xian, the former Taishou of Changsha and the new Jingzhou Mu canonized by the current Cao Cao government, raised troops to the north three days later.

Because of the distance and secrecy, at this moment, the news of Zhang Xian's troops has not yet reached Jiangxia County and Wuchang County.

It would have taken time for the Changsha army to gather troops from all over the country, and it would have taken two or three days to march from Linxiang County (now Changsha City) and Luo County to Baqiu County at the mouth of Dongting Lake.

So at this time, Zhang Xian's army had not yet left the mouth of Dongting Lake and the boundary of Changsha County, and even Liu Biao's defenders in Nanjun had not found anything abnormal, let alone Liu Bei in Jiangxia.

But no matter what the situation is on Zhang Xian's side, Liu Bei has his own rhythm of Liu Bei.

Early in the morning, Liu Bei, who had been waiting impatiently for the war, suddenly received a secret report, saying that Zhao Yun, who had arrived from Hefei, had finally rushed to Wuchang County in a hurry last night.

In order to keep it secret and prevent the enemy from realizing that reinforcements were arriving, so as to arouse unnecessary vigilance, Zhao Yun also arrived in the middle of the night and quietly entered the city.

At that time, Liu Bei had already slept, because the matter was not very urgent, and the attendants around him did not wake Liu Bei, and only told him all this when he slept in the morning and woke up naturally, washed up and had breakfast peacefully.

Liu Bei was drinking millet porridge and eating mutton buns fermented with old noodles, when he heard that Zhao Yun was here last night, he immediately complained: "Zilong is here, why don't you report it early!" Come with me to the Zilong camp to greet you! It's not too late to wait for Zilong to eat together! ”

Liu Bei put down the remaining few small buns and was about to change his clothes and go out. The attendant hurriedly explained that Zhao Yun had already arrived and was waiting outside. Liu Bei complained and went out directly to greet him, and after a while, he pulled Zhao Yun back and ate mutton buns together.

"Come on, come on, Zilong came to the door early in the morning, he must have eaten it yet, let's go together."

Zhao Yun didn't shirk, but when he saw that there was only one dining table in the house, he was a little restless, so Liu Bei directly pulled him to sit on the same table, and the two sat opposite each other, and then took out two drawers from a stack of small steamers and put them in front of Zhao Yun.

Only then did Zhao Yun let go of the restraints and went straight to arrest.

While eating, Zhao Yun also sighed with emotion and got down to business: "I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up with the first round of attacks on Zhang Xian, but I didn't expect Zhang Xian to be so hesitant and drag it out until now." ”

Liu Bei followed Zhao Yun's words, and encouraged in turn: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, in fact, it's okay, it's more than half a month later than I expected at the beginning."

Brother Jingsheng sent Liu Pan, Wen Ping, and Huang Zhong to attack Wancheng, which is a rare opportunity for Zhang Xian, and he will definitely do it, it is estimated that it will be in the past few days. ”

Then, Liu Bei casually asked Zhao Yun how many people he brought from Hefei this time.

Zhao Yun said that there were only more than 6,000 people, and he did not dare to transfer too many troops from the Huaihe-Weishui defense line, so as not to be empty.

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "With these horses, our army has 40,000 people who can push Jingnan, in fact, as long as Zilong and you come to make contributions yourself, it is enough." In the past few days, Kong Ming has planned all the battle plans, let's listen to it together in a while, you and Yide and Xingba just divide the labor. ”

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun quickly ran out of breakfast, and then someone went to inform Zhang Fei, Ganning, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong, and came to the shogunate to discuss the affairs together, and finally adjusted and confirmed the battle plan-

In fact, there was a version of the battle plan a few days ago, and it had already been preliminarily issued to the generals. But the plan made at that time was still based on the situation that Zhao Yun could not catch up with the first wave of offensive.

Now that Zhao Yun has caught up, the task must be reassigned, fine-tuned, and it will not hurt.

After the three main generals and the main strategists arrived, Liu Bei signaled Zhuge Liang to make the decision and adjust the deployment of the generals.

Zhang Fei didn't care at first, and he didn't listen carefully, because he felt that he had already understood what he should do a few days ago. So as soon as he arrived at Liu Bei, Zhang Fei pulled Zhao Yun alone to chat and say something else.

As a result, Zhuge Liang came up with an adjusted plan, which still surprised Zhang Fei.

I only heard Zhuge Liang say: "Yide, since Zilong has arrived, I think this original plan can be adjusted, and the task of attacking Luo County and Linxiang County, the core of Changsha County, will be handed over to Zilong.

Xingba's task remains the same, and he is still responsible for intercepting Zhang Xian's army on the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake, and Yunmengze. If it is found that Zhang Xian has sent a naval army north across the Yangtze River to attack Nanjun as soon as possible, then Xingba will have to be responsible for cutting off the retreat and supply of Zhang Xian's main attacking force......"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately became anxious: "What? Didn't you say that I would attack Changsha? Kong Ming, you can't be nepotistic! Just because Zilong is your brother-in-law, you give him a beauty difference, which is not fair! ”

Liu Bei originally didn't want to intervene in Zhuge Liang's arrangement, and he fully trusted Zhuge Liang. But listening to Zhang Fei talk about "nepotism", Liu Bei was also a little curious, and wanted to see what Zhuge Liang understood.

Even Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to say: "This is not very good, a gentleman is the beauty of an adult." However, serving the country and supporting the Han family are not separated from each other......"

Zhao Yun said this, just like a person who received red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, while saying how embarrassing this was, he turned his head and stretched out the pockets of his clothes.

Another example is when the butcher Hu returned the silver, he held the silver ingot tightly in his hand, and only stretched out his fist.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang immediately solved everyone's doubts, and also found another errand for Zhang Fei: "Yide doesn't have to be anxious, let Zilong take Changsha, naturally because Changsha is closer and there is no need to rush."

And on your side, you have a new task to hand over to you. Just yesterday, our army had a sentry boat scout patrolling the river, and reported back downstream, and found that Wuling County's Taishou Jin Xuan had mobilized troops and horses, and his behavior was abnormal.

In my opinion, it is basically certain that Jin Xuan was persuaded by Zhang Xian, and it is very likely that he will also participate in the first wave of attacks on Nanjun. Therefore, our countermeasures against Wuling County should also be earlier than the original plan. This requires a fierce general who attacks quickly and resolutely, and non-Yide cannot do it. ”

Zhang Fei heard that he couldn't fight Changsha County but could fight Wuling instead, and his heart finally calmed down a little, but he soon realized that Wuling was relatively barren, and this credit was too small.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but continue to argue: "It's okay to change the county to attack and take down, but Wuling is mostly a wild land, and Wuling is full of barbarian land, how can it be compared with the plastered land of Changsha County?" There is also a difference of two or three times between people and acres! I don't want to change! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and continued to analyze and persuade: "Yide can't underestimate the merit of attacking Wuling, now that Liu Biao has been deceived into going north to Wancheng, it will be difficult to draw troops back to suppress Zhang Xian in a hurry, so Changsha County must be able to be taken by our army, and the situation is becoming clearer and clearer."

The biggest unresolved matter now is whether it can completely block the road for Liu Biao to go south and divide the land in the future. And this key is on Wuling County, Wuling is the county with the longest distance from Nanjun across the Yangtze River, if Wuling is taken, it can completely seal the road of Jingzhou soldiers in Nanjun to the south, and we can slowly map the remaining Lingling and Guiyang, and sooner or later we will eat them up.

If he failed to take Wuling immediately, causing Liu Biaojun to cross the Yangtze River from the west road south while we attacked Changsha, then he was a genuine Jingzhou pastor after all, and the rebellion was justified, and it was very likely that the two sides would be divided into a situation with Xiangshui as the boundary and the east and west as the rule.

Therefore, Wuling is the key in the key, which determines whether we take Jingnan or Xiangshui as the boundary, in contrast, Changsha is already in our bowl. ”

After being explained by Zhuge Liang and wearing a high hat, Zhang Fei finally felt a little more comfortable.

After Liu Bei understood this truth, he also hurriedly said: "Yide, don't be capricious, as long as you take Wuling and give you credit for your brother, you will naturally be more than the merit of Changsha." Although the enemy army in Wuling was not as strong as the Changsha army, it was far away.

You need to travel lightly and quickly, even if the back road is cut off and the supply is not smooth, you must insist on blocking the choke point, and you must not let Liu Biao react and divide the troops to cross the Yangtze River south. It's not that you can't do this, and I can only rely on you as a brother. ”

Zhang Fei saw that his eldest brother trusted him so much, and he was still very coaxing, and immediately said that he could definitely intersperse and divide it as soon as possible, cutting off the bordering area between Jin Xuan and Liu Biao.

Zhuge Liang saw that he had accepted the task, so he said a few tactical details and precautions in person: "Yide, since you have accepted this task, you must know that the key to this battle is not to seize Wuling County to govern Linyuan County, but to Xiaoling and Yidao along the south bank of the river.

Although these counties are small, they are the key points of the Yangtze River, and if they take here, Liu Biao's counterattack troops will not be able to cross the Yangtze River south. If you blindly attack Linyuan first, even if you win the county rule, it is possible that you are helping Liu Biao fight the enemy.

Once the Wuling rebels collapsed, Liu Biaobing crossed the Yangtze River to gain a firm foothold without bloodshed, and he was in the name of Jingzhou Mu, and at the same time he was the allied army with us to fight Cao, it would be difficult to stop them. There are other places on the east and west sides of Linyuan, upstream and downstream, where the river can be crossed in a roundabout way, and Jingnan will still be infiltrated by Liu Biao at that time. ”

Zhang Fei listened very carefully this time, studied the map carefully, and finally patted his chest and promised: "Sir, don't worry!" I already know the priority, that is, don't rush to attack the county, but first dig all the way along the south bank of the Yangtze River to block the territory along the river! Be sure to be fast! ”

In this battle, it is more important to prevent teammates from grabbing credit than to defend against the enemy!

This kind of thing really needs a reckless person like Zhang Fei to do it, because once Zhang Fei is impulsive, rude, and causes a little friction, Liu Bei can go back to explain to Liu Biao afterwards to stabilize:

Alas, my third brother has such a temper, he is not sensible, and he will carry out the orders I gave him, and he does not know how to change when the situation changes, which really offends Brother Jingsheng...... But that's already the case, the raw rice is cooked and cooked, so forget it.

is like the developer of Kong Bala on "Black Gold", when facing the threat of Brother Hui making tea, he can still say, "Alas, the countrymen have never seen the world, I asked them not to come, they are afraid that I am in danger, so they have to follow, I can't control it, I laughed".

If a calm person like Zhao Yun is allowed to carry out this kind of task, once he needs to block friendly forces in a rough manner, Zhao Yun said that he was impulsive and not strict, and others would not believe it. At that time, Liu Bei didn't have a chance to apologize even if he wanted to.

Liu Bei pondered along this line of thought, and gradually realized the subtlety of Zhuge Liang's plan, and completely believed that Zhuge Liang definitely did not "cronyism" and favor his brother-in-law Zhao Yun.

This task arrangement is definitely the most suitable for the endowment of the generals.

And just after Zhuge Liang arranged all this, two days later, Liu Beijun's main generals on the third road rested and stopped, and in the direction of Baqiu, the news finally came that Zhang Xianjun officially sailed out of Dongting Lake and crossed the Yangtze River in the north.

The news that Zhang Xian claimed to have received the new edict of Xu Du to lead Jingzhou Mu also spread throughout Nanjun and Jiangxia at the same time. Because Zhang Xian wrote a persuasion to surrender, he hoped that the local counties would recognize him, the new Jingzhou pastor and army, and directly surrender to him when the time came.

When Liu Bei heard about it, he immediately ordered: "Zhang Xian has finally done it!" Yide, Zilong, and Xingba will immediately send troops as originally planned! A two-pronged approach, and take Changsha and Wuling! ”
