Chapter 34: Deployment
Looking at Mi Zhu's unconfused expression, Huo Yi responded firmly: "The main force of General Xianguan has not yet returned, and the defenders in Jiangling City only have three or five thousand soldiers and horses in the headquarters except for the temporarily recruited Cao soldiers and prisoners of war. β
"Cao Bing can use it, but for the sake of insurance, he can't rely on it completely for the time being."
When the words fell, his expression was very serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"On the other hand, Jiangdong will inevitably increase its troops to the west, and its strength is still above ours, if it is at this time, it will not make the internal chaos without a war if the wealthy families and middle and high-level officials are wantonly investigated?"
"At that time, once the Jingzhou families riot and collude with Wu Jun, it will be too late to regret it!"
Looking at his continuous analysis, every word was reasonable, and Mi Zhu listened to it in his ears, and he undoubtedly admired the young man in front of him more and more, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"Then, according to Shaoxian's opinion, how should we deal with it?"
After a moment's thought, he asked solemnly.
"Add ears and eyes to spy on the covert and stand still."
Huo Yi responded with a sonorous and powerful hand: "At least before General Guan's main force returns to Jiangling, we must not startle the snake, so as not to make everyone sad and the fish die and the net be broken." β
After saying that, there was a pause between the words, and his face returned to calmness: "In today's battle, Yi led the crowd to repel the Wu army, forcing Lu Meng to retreat to the riverside and hold on to the water village. β
"In a short period of time, Wu Bing's morale was low, and I was afraid that he would not dare to go ashore easily."
"After this battle, the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou will also be greatly boosted, and the people who have fornicated with Jiangdong will probably choose to wait and see, and will not betray easily."
This speech fell, and Mi Zhu suddenly had a spirit on his face, and said with confidence, "What Shao Xian said is reasonable, and when the main force returns to defense, it will be time to liquidate." β
"It's not time to make a big move~"
Huo Yi was originally from the Huo family in Zhijiang, one of the wealthy families in Nanjun, and he had been filial piety to his father for three years at home, and he must have seen the internal situation in Jingzhou more clearly than he was far away in Shu.
What's more, being able to defeat Lu Meng several times now and protect Jingzhou is also his great achievement.
Mi Zhu also fully trusted Huo Yi at this time, and did not rely on his old seniority to act arbitrarily.
"The wealthy clan in Jiangnan or the officials of the counties and counties can secretly monitor, this is not a big problem, how should Pan Jun deal with it?"
Having established a strategy of waiting and seeing, it seemed that he was silent for a while, Mi Zhu suddenly thought of something, and said with concern:
"Pan Jun is engaged in governance and is quite powerful."
"He used to be a disciple of the great Confucian Song Zhong, and his fame and connections in Jingzhou are very expensive."
"Today, Shao Xian has a bad relationship with him, will he take the risk and secretly unite with Lu Meng to dedicate the city again?"
As soon as these words came out, his eyebrows were extremely solemn, and he felt more and more the intricacies of the situation in Jingzhou, and there was a feeling that if he took a slight wrong step, he would be doomed.
"It's really deliberate to fight with him at the city gate, I want to try this person's reaction, but after trying to see that he is furious, maybe he won't take the initiative to contact Jiangdong in a short time."
Huo Yi's face was indifferent, and he analyzed, "Pan Jun is a typical opportunist, and he is not an ignorant person, he can distinguish the importance of things. β
"He may have already been aware of the infiltration of Jiangdong in Jingzhou, and he also saw that LΓΌ Meng took advantage of General Guan's expedition to attack when the rear was empty, so he secretly communicated secretly in advance in order to protect himself, so as to make a contribution to Jingzhou's change of ownership in the future."
"Now that the Wu army has failed to sneak attack, Lu Meng has been defeated several times, with his temperament, it is estimated that he will continue to wait and see, and he will not insist on defecting to the Sun family."
When the words fell, Mi Zhu suddenly felt quite reasonable when he heard the words, and nodded solemnly in agreement.
"Of course, we have to take precautions, we have to ask General An Han to come forward to stabilize Pan Jun, the so-called defense of people is indispensable, maybe this person will really leave and it will be very dangerous."
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yi asked with a serious hand.
Based on Pan Jun's showmanship in the face of Sun Quan's solicitation in the original history, as well as the temptation at the gate of Fangcai, he found out that this person was an opportunist.
But at the same time, he was also worried, worried that he would be forced to leave because of his temptation and anger, and he would be at risk and sacrifice Gangneung as a promotion.
"I'll leave this matter to the old man to deal with the aftermath~"
Mi Zhu responded with a serious expression after hearing this.
He also knew the seriousness of the matter and that it had to be dealt with properly.
Otherwise, it is a huge hidden danger.
After reporting the list of people who secretly communicated to Jiangdong in Jingzhou to Mi Zhu, Huo Yi then put his mind at ease, and then he ordered more than 1,000 soldiers to go out of the city and march west to build a defense line along Nanzhangshui, and migrate Zhijiang, Yidao and other soldiers on the west bank of Zhangshui to the east bank to live temporarily.
Wu, who wanted to divide his troops to attack Yiling, trapped Sun Huan's troops in the land west of the Nanzhang River and collapsed without a fight.
LΓΌ Meng was defeated and walked away from the riverside, and the most direct victim of the withdrawal of Jiangling was naturally the current Sun Huan Department, and they suddenly became a lone army in depth.
Yiling did not go down, and the back road was cut off.
In the Wu army camp, when Sun Huan heard that his main force was actually defeated by the Jingzhou army in Jiangling City and retreated to the riverside water village, and the enemy army moved to the west of Nanzhangshui to the east bank, his expression was undoubtedly shocked.
"What's the situation? The general's attack on Yiling turned out to be round? β
Sun Huan also had a look of surprise on his face.
Now the situation is tricky!
The enemy army in Yiling had already prepared to send soldiers and horses to garrison, and because there were two big mountains of Jingmen and Huya standing outside the pass, there was a narrow waterway flowing between the two mountains.
There are mountains and waters, Yiling is dug in the mountains, the road in front of the pass is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Under the deployment of the Jingzhou army in advance, Sun Huan did not even attack several times after he arrived.
Thinking about these in his mind, Sun Huan's expression was also quite solemn and said: "Yiling is difficult to overcome, and then there are Jingzhou soldiers blocking the back road according to Nanzhangshui, once this news spreads in the army, I am afraid that it will directly affect the morale of the army." β
"When the time comes, if the soldiers have no heart to fight, they will definitely be defeated!"
After thinking for a while, Sun Huan's expression was firm, and his fist clenched and smashed on the map in front of him with a bang, "We must break through and join the main force when the enemy's defense line has not yet been built." β
"Otherwise, you'll be trapped here."
Sun Huan is indeed worthy of being an outstanding general of the Sun family's clan, and he formulated the next operational deployment almost the moment he got the military information.
Resolutely abandon Yiling and lead his troops to the east, cross the river and break through to the east of Nanzhangshui.
Wu Jun retreated, and Hawking, who was holding on to the city, unconsciously showed suspicion on his face when he saw this, "Huh~ Why did Wu Bing retreat?" β
"Could it be that something has happened to the main force of the Wu army besieging Jiangling?"
When these words fell, he groaned to himself.
"The enemy has retreated, are we going to pursue it?"
At this time, the defenders at the head of the city asked each other one after another.
Unexpectedly, Hawking's expression perked up, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "No~ Now the enemy situation is unknown, and it is not appropriate to pursue." β
"If this is a plan of the enemy army to pretend to retreat, it is actually a conspiracy to lure us out of the pass and take the opportunity to seize the city."
