In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in Jiangnan is still hot.

It is not until sunset that the temperature eases somewhat, but the temperature difference is a little larger than in summer.

In Huaiyin's small mansion, the step trainer was happily cleaning Zhao Chen's room, the room that originally belonged to her.

Wan walked in, and the step trainer could have dinner.

The two of them talked and laughed when they arrived at the dining hall, and there was another man sitting at the table.

Seeing that the step trainer was happy in his heart, Wan asked, "What makes you so happy?" ”

"Mother, haven't you heard? General Zhang broke Yuan Shu's army in Xutai and captured the enemy general Qiao Rui. ”

Wan Shi smiled: "When did my little teacher start paying attention to national affairs?" ”

The foot trainer said proudly: "That is the victory of General Zhang according to Houde's strategy, I think with Houde, the army should be able to take Guangling City soon." ”

"By the way, tomorrow I have to prepare some red cloth to welcome Houde back. The cloth shop in the East Market is open. ”

"You want Houde to come back sooner."

The step trainer was a little embarrassed by Wan's words.

The man continued: "Zhao Houde is indeed not simple, Huaipu, Huaiyin, and Xutai all won more with less, and the tactics are flexible and changeable. ”

The step trainer winked playfully with big eyes: "Mother, you see that my uncle recognizes Houde." ”

It was said that the news of Sun Ce's army arriving in Guangling spread to Liu Bei's camp in a moment.

After all, it was the most formidable enemy they had encountered so far, and everyone couldn't help but worry.

You must know that the little overlord Sun Ce is already well-known in Jiangdong, and he beat Liu Xuan without the power to fight back.

There are only two people who are calm, one is Zhao Chen, and the other is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

In Zhao Chen's view, intellectually, except for Zhuge Liang, they are all ordinary people.

In Guan Yu's view, in terms of force, except for Lu Bu, they are all plugged in and sold first.

All the preparations have been completed, and Zhao Chen calculated that Zhang Fei should also lead three thousand cavalry to Guangling at this moment, and he should be able to arrive at sunset.

As for Tai Shici and Sun Shao, they only need to cross the Yangtze River and block Sun Ce's retreat, and the task will be completed.

Of course, if you want the two of you to throw themselves into Liu Bei's door, you have to use some small means.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Chen, leading the army to govern the army, and the power was him, but how to lay out the war had to rely on Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen naturally understood what Liu Bei meant, and responded: "Lord, since everything is ready, our army can march to Guangling City." ”

Then, Zhao Chen pointed to the map on the side: "This is going to Guangling, there are many waterways, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's army is good at water warfare, but our army is good at land warfare, and we will naturally choose land warfare." There is a small river along the south of Fanliang Lake, named Phoenix River, and the mouth of the river is called Xiaochenzhuang. The water slowed down here, and it was the best place for our army to cross the river. Presumably Zhou Yu can also see this clearly, and at this time he should have sent troops to Xiaochenzhuang to dismantle the bridge and prevent our army from crossing the river. ”

Jian Yong asked: "Then how should our army cross the river, the Phoenix River is connected to the Yangtze River, and our army will not be able to go to Guangling without crossing the river." ”

"Xianhe is right, since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are going to fight a blocking battle here, then I will follow their wishes."

Liu Bei didn't understand, since he had already guessed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would block it here, why did he follow their wishes, could it be that he was tough and tough? Fighting on the water is no match for them.

Guan Yu on the side squinted his eyes and stroked his beard: "The military advisor must not talk nonsense, if there is no plan in his heart, our army can return to Huaiyin, and there is no need to deal with it forcibly." ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Since General Guan said so, he must have courage, I don't know what suggestions he has?" ”

Guan Yu replied: "I look at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they are all yellow-mouthed children, so there is nothing to be afraid of. A certain only needs to lead a thousand men and horses in his headquarters, cross the river overnight, kill the general, and definitely take down the two. ”

"General Guan, there is no joke in the army!"

"There is no joke in the army, a certain is willing to make a military order!"

Seeing this, Jian Yong immediately persuaded: "General Guan thinks twice, Sun Jian and Sun Ce father and son have been operating in Jiangdong for many years and know Jiangdong well, Sun Ce is even more brave, especially good at water warfare. As the military advisor said, there are many waterways near Guangling City, Sun Ce's army has the advantage, and the general only leads a thousand soldiers to fight against it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to win. ”

Guan Yu squinted at Jian Yong and said: "How can Xianhe grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, you don't need to persuade, the matter of marching and fighting is your own." ”

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, although Jian Yong had followed Liu Bei for many years, he still hadn't figured out Guan Yu's habits, and Guan Yu hadn't taken him seriously.

At this time, the more he persuaded Guan Yu to give up, even if it was reasonable, Guan Yu had to make a general order because of his face.

Although Jian Yong was good for him, he could only be greeted with contempt.

Seeing Zhao Chen smiling, Liu Bei was very puzzled.

The two armies are facing each other against each other, and the disagreement between the military division and the generals is extremely unfavorable to the war.

can see Zhao Chen's expression, it seems that he did it on purpose.

Out of trust in Zhao Chen, and because of the second brother's affection, Liu Bei was not convenient to persuade at will, so he only said: "Second brother, this battle is related to whether our army can completely take Guangling, so we should think about it more." The words of constitution and harmony are not unreasonable. Houde, what do you say? ”

Yes, Liu Bei finally threw the problem to Zhao Chen.

This is the way of the king, only you can solve the problems you have, and only the judge for the king.

Zhao Chen also took it.

"Okay, since General Guan is so sure, then he will make a military order, and after our army is encamped on the east bank of the Phoenix River tonight, I will allow you to lead a thousand soldiers to cross the river at night and attack Sun Ce's military camp."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu had no chance to regret it.

"Good! Bring pen and paper! ”

I saw Guan Yu "brushing" and writing a few lines, and threw down the pen and said: "If you don't win, take someone's head!" ”

Then his eyes turned around, his mind was wrong, and he asked Zhao Chen: "If Guan wins, what should the military advisor do?" ”

Zhao Chen also replied: "If General Guan wins, Houde will no longer be in the position of military advisor." ”

"Strategist, a word is a certainty!"

"General Guan, a word is a certainty!"

The two looked at each other and pressed their own handprints.

Liu Bei was helpless, the wood was already in the boat, so he had to agree.

Guan Yu immediately retired and returned to the camp to prepare for tonight.

After Guan Yu left, Liu Bei turned around and asked Zhao Chen why.

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, lord. Yun Chang is brave and resolute, but he lacks strategy, and his key character is arrogant, and he doesn't take anyone in his eyes except for the lord, which is fatal for a coach. Our army will gain the states in the future, and it needs a commander who can lead one side to defend it, and the problem of insufficient strategy of Yun Chang has been prepared, and Houde has prepared an interpretation of the art of war, and it can be improved by studying more. If this battle can make him realize that he should not underestimate others and restrain his arrogance, I will hand over the interpretation to Yun Chang, and in time he will definitely be able to coach the side. ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized, he was grateful to Zhao Chen in his heart, but he was still worried about Guan Yu's attack at night.

"The military advisor is prepared for foresight, and he has taken great pains for Yun Chang, so I thank you here. It's just that Yun Chang attacked this time, can he come back safely? ”

Zhao Chen understood Liu Bei's concerns, but he had to do it today.

In the entire Liu Bei Army, everyone was already convinced of him, but Guan Yu still had reservations, and Zhao Chen had to take this opportunity to convince Guan Yu.

When a large army is dispatched, every move must be unified by the whole army and obey the arrangement. When marching and fighting, the most taboo thing is that the strategy is not implemented.

If a general does not obey the arrangement and acts independently, once there is a deviation, the entire layout will be disrupted, and the whole body will be affected, not just a few people, but thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

That's why military orders cannot be violated.

As a military advisor, Zhao Chen decided the fate of tens of thousands of troops at his fingertips, and he couldn't joke with human life.

"Lord, please rest assured, Chen will naturally not sit idly by, and Yun Chang's military order is also in Chen's plan, so there is no need to worry. Tonight, when our army reaches the east bank of the Phoenix River, everything will be clear. ”

"Since Houde said so, Bei will be at ease, waiting for the good news of the military advisor."

"Thank you for your trust."
