In the dim darkness of the night, the sailors led by Gan Ning anchored on the Wuyang wharf, and the boats lit up a large area of water around them with orange lanterns.

"Xingba!"

"Zhong Miao!"

Huo Jun's figure slowly emerged from the night, followed by several attendants. Huo Jun grabbed Gan Ning's hand and took advantage of the situation to board the ship.

"Whew!"

Gan Ning whistled and signaled the boat to leave the shore.

In that cold moonlight, the surface of the lake sparkled, carrying Huo Jun's Jingzhou sailors to the west shore. Now that the Huangzu Sailor was destroyed, the strength of the Sailor under the command of Gan Ning was not as good as that of the Jiangdong Sailor, so he had to return in the evening to avoid the Jiangdong Sailor.

After commanding the fleet, Gan Ning laughed and hugged Huo Jun, and said: "Zhong Miao shocked Peng Ze, killed Huang Gai, Pan Zhang, Song Qian and other generals, so that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu could not break the city, it is really majestic!" ”

Huo Jun beat Gan Ning's chest and said with a smile: "I think you like that Zhou Yu turned to attack Chaisang, and Huang Zu died, right!" ”

Gan Ning sneered and said, "Huang Zu is an old thief who died, but Ning is happy. However, it is a pity that his naval division was destroyed, and all the ships were captured by the Jiangdong thief army, which caused our army's grain route to be cut off, and the lord was forced to confront Sun Quan across the river. ”

Saying that, Gan Ning let out a long sigh and said, "The battle situation is complicated now, and Ning is quite big. thought that he could enter and suppress Sun Ben, but unexpectedly, Zhou Yu killed Huang Zu and marched to Chaisang. If it weren't for Mi Zifang and Pan Chengming sticking to the two cities of Nanchang and Jiaoqiu, our hard work would probably be burned. ”

This time, Huang Zu pulled his crotch, and Mi Fang and Pan Jun, who were guarding the house, did not pull their hips, but instead filled the gap and blocked Sun Quan and them north of Ganshui. Otherwise, it would be really as Gan Ning said, the results of winning more than a dozen county towns would be directly eaten by Sun Quan and them.

Huo Jun thought about the battle situation and said: "Today, Yuzhou calls Jun Duze, but you want to inquire about the war? ”

"Yes!"

Gan Ning looked at the dark waters and said: "Master Xu said that he should march quickly at the moment, so as not to let Sun Quan and Sun Ben get in touch and attack our army from the north of Luling, causing our army to fall into a state of being flanked from both sides. ”

"What does Xingba think?"

Gan Ning frowned and said, "Without external force, it is really difficult to defeat Sun Quan quickly. Relying on the benefits of the sailor, it marches like the wind, and there is more than enough to advance and retreat. ”

After a pause, Gan Ning said: "You must take the lead in destroying the Jiangdong Water Division before it is possible to defeat Sun Quan." I wonder what Zhong Miao thinks? ”

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Does Xingba think that he can destroy the Jiangdong Water Division?" ”

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "It's difficult, it's too difficult." Ningguan Jiangdong Naval Division's formation is completely different from the time of the conquest of Jiangxia, the army is strict and orderly, and there is a degree of advance and retreat. The governor Zhou Yu should not be underestimated, and it is difficult to defeat. ”

Gan Ning, who can make himself proud of his naval talent, is ashamed, and Zhou Yu's naval talent can be seen in general.

Huo Jun was silent, he was self-aware of his military abilities. In terms of naval commanding ability, he really doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than Zhou Yu, even if he can fight a water war, he also needs warships and soldiers. Now that Huang Zu is dead, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses in Yuzhang, except for the small surviving Ganning naval army, there are no extra soldiers and horses, and if you want to defeat Zhou Yu with a water battle, it is really a fool's dream.

Gan Ning saw Huo Jun pressing his sword silently, and teased: "Could it be that Zhong Miao is also helpless? ”

Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The one who can retreat the Jiangdong soldiers and horses is not Jun, but it is Liu Jingzhou!" ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a while, and asked puzzledly: "Liu Jingzhou can save him from Xiangyang'an, unless he can send troops to rescue, I'm afraid that Cai Mao is unwilling!" ”

"Xingba should be a shallow view!"

As he spoke, Huo Jun stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Jun go into the cabin and sleep peacefully, and get off the boat and call someone again." ”

"Zhong Miao~"

Gan Ning shouted, and saw that Huo Jun ignored him and went into the cabin to sleep, so he had to figure out the depth by himself.

……

In the early morning, Huo Jun and Gan Ning arrived at Jiaoqiu City together, but when they entered the barracks, they met Wang Cang, who they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Zhong Xuan!"

When Wang Cang saw Huo Jun enter the camp, his sad face improved slightly, and asked, "Zhong Miao has arrived!" ”

Huo Jun walked with Wang Cang and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Cang sighed and said: "Now that Chaisang has been taken away, the naval army has been destroyed, the morale of all the departments is low, and I am afraid that the road back will be cut off. ”

Huo Jun patted Wang Cang's arm and said, "From now on, Zhongxuan, you will tell the generals in the army that Liu Jingzhou learned that Huang Jiangxia was dead, and 10,000 people from the Xingshui Division entered Jiangdong, so that everyone does not have to worry." ”

Wang Cang's eyes widened and said, "How did Zhong Miao know that Liu Jingzhou would send troops to help, and this military intelligence chief has never told Jun. ”

"Did Zhong Xuan ever remember Jun Fabing's words?"

Hearing this, Wang Cang suddenly realized and said: "Zhong Miao once made a suggestion to Liu Jingzhou about Jiangdong Yike in the past, so that he could make a decision as soon as possible. When Jiangdong was difficult to overcome and the food rations could not be sustained, because 30,000 soldiers and horses were in Jiangdong, they had to add food for the soldiers. ”

"Haha!"

Huo Jun laughed and said, "Why is it too late for Zhong Xuan to see things! ”

Wang Cang shook his head with a smile and said, "I was fascinated by the situation for a while, and I forgot that the person in charge of Xia Jiangdong was Liu Jingzhou!" ”

After fighting in Yuzhang for half a year, many people forgot that Liu Biao silently supported Liu Qi and Liu Bei's army behind the scenes. Now that Huang Zu died in battle, it is impossible for Liu Biao, as a superior, not to react. In particular, Liu Biao invested a large number of soldiers, horses, money and food, and it is impossible to say that he is willing to endure the loss of war results.

If Xia Jiangdong is regarded as a commercial company, Liu Qi and Liu Bei belong to the roles of chairman and president in the company, and they also own shares. Although Liu Biao does not hold a position within the company, he is a major shareholder.

Now that Huang Zu is dead, the water master is gone. From the perspective of interests or from the perspective of emotion, it is inevitable for Liu Biao to make additional investment.

While the group was talking and laughing, Huo Jun walked into the big tent and saluted each other with Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

"Zhong Miao knows if there is a war today!"

Huo Jun bowed slightly and said, "I know a little bit about it." ”

Liu Qi welcomed Huo Jun into his seat with a smile and said, "Then Zhong Miao has a plan to break Sun Quan?" ”

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said, "The Sun family has the advantage of being a sailor, and it is difficult to defeat Sun Quan quickly. It is better to confront Sun Quan and send troops to support Guan Junhou. When Guan Junhou forced Cheng Pu and Han Dang to retreat, our army was abundant, but the south suppressed Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers, and completely stabilized the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling. ”

This is Huo Jun's unique strategic perspective, he never looks at the present when he analyzes war, nor only at the present. Rather, he likes to bring all situations into the battlefield, after all, war is never isolated.

Sun Quan's army relied on the sailors, but it was difficult to break through, so it was better to follow their wishes and confront Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. Send additional troops to support Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, once Guan Yu defeats Cheng Pu and Han Dang, the entire battlefield situation will be revitalized.

The 5,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Guan Yu and Huang Zhong can go south to exterminate Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers. Once the Sun brothers were destroyed, Zhou Yu's idea of uniting them to flank Liu Bei's army was naturally shattered.

Sure enough, Huo Jun's words made Liu Bei loosen his eyebrows, which had been frowning for a long time, and said, "Zhong Miao's strategy should be a high opinion." Sun Quan intends to unite with Sun Ben, and if he is destroyed now, Sun Quan will retreat without a fight! ”

Huo Jun walked up to Yutu and pointed out: "Not only that, Sun Quan crossed the river to defeat the Jiangxia Sailor, resulting in the death of Huang Jiangxia and the cutting off of our army's grain route. Jun thought that Liu Jingzhou would definitely send reinforcements, but Sun Quan was still a garrison of Chaisang, and Jingzhou reinforcements went down the river to attack Jiangdong's soldiers from the west. At that time, our army will be in the south of Ganshui, and if Sun Quan's headquarters does not withdraw, it will be wiped out by our army. ”

Liu Bei handed over a cup of tea and said, "Then according to what Zhong Miao said, our army should confront Sun Quan and Zhou Yu at the moment?" ”

"Exactly!"

Huo Jun took the teacup with both hands and said with a smile: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." It is enough to send the general to lead the troops to support Guan Junhou to break the enemy. After Guan Junhou broke the enemy, he moved according to the situation, or went south to destroy Sun Ben and Sun Fu, or went north to help. ”

"Color!"

Xu Shu stroked his beard and sighed: "Zhong Miao's use of troops, looking at the overall situation, is not limited to a corner. If the prince's department can become a living son, although Sun Quan is entrenched in Chaisang, there is no need to worry. ”

Huo Jun saluted Xu Shu with a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Although the plan is good, everything depends on how long our army's food and grass can last. ”

"Don't dare!"

Xu Shu accepted Huo Jun's salute and said with a smile: "Nanchang, Shangcai, Jiancheng, Zhongling and other counties have fertile land and many household registrations, so what is the difficulty in temporarily supplying the army with grain and grass." Shu and Chengming should do their best to provide food and grass for the army, so that there will be no shortage of military food. ”

Nanchang is located in the middle of the impact plain of the Ganjiang River and the Fuhe River, with flat land and rich population. It can be said that it is the essence of Yuzhang, and it is not difficult to appease the people and temporarily support the army.

Looking at the map for a while, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Zhong Miao has a high opinion, and he is ready to lead the crowd to confront Sun Quan. Don't send Yide to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to help, and be sure to help Yunchang defeat Cheng Pu and Han Dang. ”
