"Nanhai County is in the east of Cangwu County, and there is a passage connecting Jiangdong. Yulin County is in the west of Cangwu and has a passage connecting Yizhou. But to the west of Yulin County, there is also Jiaozhi, the largest county in Jiaozhou. Therefore, if I use troops, I will definitely take the South China Sea first, cut off the rear road of our army, and then set Yulin, this is the order that must be taken! ”

Lu Meng pointed to the map and said confidently.

Zhou Yu glanced at the map and closed his eyes in contemplation.

It was the first time he and Cao Wu had fought each other, the earliest time, he was in Chaisang City, and Cao Wu took the lead everywhere, framed him for rebelling and self-reliance, and used a nursery rhyme to break the trust between Jiangdong monarchs and ministers.

The second time, in the Chibi War, he was about to win, but Cao was powerless to turn the tide.

After those two times, he asked people to collect materials about Cao Wu at all costs, but there were very few.

It seems that this Beifu general, who used to be a gentleman, suddenly woke up one day and became the clan that Cao Cao relied on the most.

But Zhou Yu knew that this was impossible, he had been looking for clues about Cao Wu, but in the end he still didn't find any effective information, but he learned of a sad and angry thing.

His beloved concubine Xiao Qiao was actually taken away by Cao Wu!

At that moment, he was extremely resentful in his heart, and the gentle Zhou Lang finally became rarely angry, and he trembled with anger.

He swore a poisonous oath that one day, he would slash Cao Wu.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

He had been in Jiaozhou for a long time, and now Sun Quan also gave him the opportunity to attack Jiaozhou, and now the leader of the Cao army is Cao Wu, which is the best opportunity for revenge.

"Calculate the intelligence, the information that our Jiangdong Army came to Jiaozhi, Cao Jun should have already known."

Zhou Yu asked you to keep yourself calm, analyzed.

"Indeed, we marched with more than 10,000 people, and there was no mountain forest to cover it, although we used the seaside to march and hide it for a few days, but after all, we couldn't hide it, and the thief army must know."

Lu Meng nodded, but said with a smile: "But they definitely don't know, it only took us a few days to obtain the four counties!" ”

"This is exactly what I want to say, if the other party doesn't know that we have obtained the four counties, then first send troops to the South China Sea east of Cangwu, take the South China Sea County, eliminate worries, and then send troops to Yulin, facing the army of Yulin and Jiaozhi, this is the right solution. But have you ever thought about what if the enemy already knows that we will take the four counties? ”

"Impossible, it's impossible!"

Lu Meng shook his head: "In the entire Dragon Weaving City, almost everyone knows that the Jiangdong Army is coming, but no one will know what the Jiangdong Army has done. The illusion we have been creating is that there are only 100 people from the Jiangdong Army entering the city. No matter how you guess, you wouldn't have thought that we would be able to use these 100 people to capture the big city of Longbian. ”

After listening to Lu Meng's explanation, Zhou Yu groaned and nodded, he also thought that there was no reason for Cao Jun to know the news that they had taken the four counties so quickly.

Even if the people who were invited to the banquet by the three brothers of the Shi family leaked the news, Cao Jun would only think that the Shi family had made another change of power, and would not think that Jiangdong had already succeeded.

Attack Yulin first, after all, you have to risk attacking Cangwu behind the back of Nanhai County.

A mature manager shouldn't take such a risk.

However, is Cao Wu a mature coach?

Zhou Yu was not sure at all.

Lu Meng said: "The soldiers are very fast, and you can achieve results before the enemy reacts." Now we have the upper hand, we can't wait any longer. We have to strike first and choose the decisive battle location first! Since the thief army will attack the South China Sea, we should push the army to the Cangwu border and take most of the land of Cangwu before the thief army returns from the South China Sea. ”

Zhou Yu listened, but still thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "The Jiangdong Army is too small after all. ”

Lu Meng sighed: "Yes, it's too little." ”

They need to rely on the three brothers of the Shi family to get together 70,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise they will not be able to carry the Cao army on their own.

Both of them were silent for a long time before finally making a decision.

In Zhou Yu's eyes, this attack is not a decisive battle, he needs to test the quality of Cao's army, and he also arranged a surprise soldier all the way, if he can attract the defenders of Guangxin City in Cangwu County to come out, his strange soldier can achieve unexpected results.

The Battle of Jiaozhou, the two most important tactical fulcrums, one is the governance of Guangxin in Cangwu County, and the other is the governance of the dragon in Jiaozhi County, which is impossible for them to lose.

……

Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin finished his day's official duties, and did not return to the Taishou Mansion first, but had dinner with the soldiers and civilians on the city wall.

It's called dinner, but it's just hot porridge with few grains of rice.

However, in this chaotic year, Jiangxia suffered military disasters and floods, and there was still a bowl of porridge to drink at night, and the people in the city were already very happy.

They already knew that all this came from the gift of Cao Wu, the general of Beifu, and if it weren't for the general of Beifu sending grain to work for relief, I am afraid that they would not even be able to guarantee food at noon.

In Jiangxia, in Jingzhou, there are too many places to use money and grain, and Zhao Yan, the assassin of Jingzhou, is overstretched, although the Jingzhou family has come up with some money and grain, but it is still not enough.

Every time Wenpin receives money and food, he will give priority to these people who are on the basis of work, then the troops, and finally the rest of the people.

During this period, Jiangxia was full of his busy figure, and this battle-fighting general seemed to have completely taken off his military uniform and turned into a real peasant, integrated into military and civilian production.

Only the soldiers who had followed him in attacking Chukou City knew that when Wen Ping picked up his sword, he was still the general who could fight Guan Yu for fifty rounds.

Wen Ping finished drinking the porridge, he was still a little hungry, but he didn't ask for a second bowl, there was only one bowl per person, he didn't want to break the rules.

He stood up and looked up at the riverside outside the city, where the foundations of a tall building had been firmly laid, and before he knew it, it had reached the third floor.

"Yellow Crane Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, what a name!"

Wen Ping laughed, when this watchtower is repaired and the soldiers stand on the upper floor, the Yangtze River will be unobstructed, and there will be no hiding place for water bandits and bullies on this big river, and it is impossible for the Jiangdong Army to break through his Jiangxia defense line.

What did Xun Yu military master say, the Great Wall of the South, yes, this is a Great Wall of the South!

He looked at the tall building for a while, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wen Taishou, Zhongye!" ”

Wen Ping hurriedly turned around, but it was Zhao Yan, the assassin of Jingzhou, who came here and was calling her.

Wen Ping hurriedly walked a few steps, and when he arrived, he said a little stiffly: "Why is Bo Yan here?" ”

"There's news from Yecheng."

Zhao Yan bowed his hand slightly towards the north, and then said: "Let the nine counties of Jingxiang and all departments send troops and horses to gather and go south, and respond to the situation in Jiaozhou at any time!" ”

"Jiaozhou?"

Wen Ping was taken aback, and said casually: "How is the general?" ”

Zhao Yan and Wen Ping both had Cao Wu's support, and Wen Ping also received great help from Beifu Resources, and they talked in private, and the word general was naturally Cao Wu.

"The first battle was a great victory, and Cangwu was determined. But I heard that there was going to be a decisive battle with Shi Xie and others, and I was afraid that the troops would be insufficient. Yecheng's order was for Jingzhou to gather at least 30,000 men and go south to support. ”

Wen Ping immediately stood up: "Since the troops are insufficient, then Jiang Xia is willing to use all the troops to go to support!" ”

Zhao Yan was overjoyed, although the other Taishou in Jingzhou responded to the call, but they obviously violated the yang and the yin, and now it seems that they can get more support from Wenpin.

"Then how many people can Zhongye put out here?"

The reason why I asked for manpower instead of soldiers and horses was because Jiangxia actually did not have many garrisons, but there were not many professional soldiers in this era, and ordinary people had weapons and could also be used as a source of soldiers, but their combat effectiveness was poor.

Wen Ping raised his arms at the people who were still eating in the city, and said in a loud voice: "Cao Wu, the general of the Northern Mansion, needs support in the south, who wants to go with me!" ”

When the people of Jiangxia heard this, when they figured out who was going to support, they were in an uproar.

"Is that the Beifu general?"

"How many more Beifu generals can there be? Naturally, it's Caobei Mansion! ”

"General Beifu saved Jiangxia, Jiangxia people should go to support!"

The people whispered, and immediately someone said, "I do!" ”

The man was thin and weak, but he said with a serious face: "My mother said, to be a man, you must know how to repay your kindness." General Beifu rescued Jiangxia in the flood and saved many people, he needs our support, then we will go! ”

"Yes, go!"

In just a dozen breaths, everyone on the city tower stood up.

Zhao Yan, who was sleek, saw that the military and civilians were united in supporting Cao Wu, his heart was mobilized, and his face turned red with excitement.

Wen Ping didn't know what to say, he knew that General Beifu had prestige, but he didn't expect the people to respect General Beifu so much.

He thought for a moment, not knowing how to express his gratitude, and finally, he faced the crowd and bowed deeply.

"On behalf of the general of Beifu, I have thanked the people of Jiangxia!"
