Chapter 45: Quiet as a Virgin [Seeking to Follow]
Just when Huo Yi was at a loss and had not found the best opportunity to raid Changsha, Guiyang and other Jiangnan counties for the time being, he could only lie dormant quietly.
At this moment, in the water village by the Jiangling River, Wu General Lu Meng also heard from the spies who infiltrated the city that Huo Yi, the general guarding the old city, had left the city, and now he is nowhere to be found.
"Huo Yi left Jiangling City? What did this kid do? ”
Holding the silk book sent back by the secret agent, Lu Meng was lying on the desk in his robe at this time, his eyes full of suspicion.
After many previous confrontations, he didn't dare to underestimate Huo Yi in his heart!
"This person is young but a genius, he is a fierce enemy in Jiangdong, and he is also a roadblock that prevents our army from attacking the land of Jingzhou."
This is what Lu Meng often mentioned to his generals after he was defeated and walked away from the riverside water village.
The importance of Jiangling to Jingzhou is self-evident!
Lu Meng categorically did not believe that Huo Yi would not know the strategic value of Jiangling to his side, and there must be a big plan to leave the city quietly this time!
"Sun Jiao listened to the order, and sent more people to spy on the land of Jiangbei, and be sure to thoroughly investigate Huo Yi's whereabouts for the general."
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and his expression suddenly became very serious, and he quickly waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes,"
When Sun Jiao heard the news, he quickly surrendered his orders and retreated.
He is currently the general with the highest fighting spirit in the military camp, and because of the previous defeats, he was in the rear of the public security, and his subordinates were basically not damaged.
This time, after Sun Quan personally sat in charge of the public security, he was transferred to Shuizhai to wait for dispatch.
The rest of the generals and colonels were more or less demoralized.
The order was passed down, and there were more and more Wu spies on the land on the north bank of Nanjun.
And with the peeling off of the cocoon, seeing Huo Yi sneaking into Jiangnan along the water and waiting for an opportunity to act, he was about to be unable to hide it.
This is also due to the fact that Huo Yi once recruited local wealthy families in Zhijiang to sponsor him.
But there's no way around it!
Huo Yi's army is weak, and it must replenish its strength.
If you don't recruit them, you may have to hide them for a longer time.
This can be regarded as a pros and cons~
But just when the whereabouts of Huo Yi and his troops were about to surface, the land south of the Yangtze River took the lead in changing.
Wuling County, the capital of Linyuan City.
In the county mansion, the scout's face was tense and panting, and he said truthfully:
"General Qiyu Huo, according to the investigation of the villains, there has been a civil uprising in Yiyang County, which belongs to Changsha County, recently, and Huang Gai, the Taishou who guards Changsha, quickly gathered his troops to quell the rebellion after hearing about it."
"Now the rest of Changsha is extremely empty~"
"Oh? Yiyang rebelled? ”
Hearing the spies' return, Huo Yi suddenly had a happy face, and exclaimed in his heart: "God really helps me!" ”
"The time has come for a surprise attack."
He muttered to himself in the depths of his heart, his expression was solemn, and he said: "You quickly go to contact Fan Ling, who is engaged in Wuling Zhuyi, to inform him that the time has come, and let him lead the barbarians to attack the counties of Changsha. ”
"喏~"
The order was handed down, and seeing that his general suddenly gave an order with a serious face, the scout did not dare to slack off and hurriedly surrendered his promise.
Waiting for the spies to say goodbye and turn to leave, Huo Yi was ecstatic in his heart at this time, with a look of joy on his face, his eyes stared closely at the picture hanging between the screens, and pointed to each point and groaned:
"Linxiang is the capital of Changsha, if it can be captured, Changsha can be determined!"
He first put his hand on Linxiang's position, intending to take advantage of Fan Ling's guidance of Wuxi to ravage all parts of Changsha to attract the attention of Huang Gai's department, and then march east along the Yuanshui River to take the opportunity to conquer the county capital.
But after thinking about it carefully, Huo Yi's expression gradually changed slightly, his eyes became solemn, and he said secretly: "No~"
"After advancing eastward along the Yuanshui River and turning into a tributary of the Xiangshui River, it is necessary to take Luoxian County in the south of Dongting Lake before attacking Linxiang."
"Once the troops are used against Luo County, the raid plan will be exposed, and this plan is not feasible~"
The deduction was halfway loud, and Huo Yi also vetoed his plan to attack Linxiang.
In addition to taking Luo County first, there are also crucial factors.
That is, Linxiang is located in the Xiangshui water, and to the north is Yiyang, which is quelling the rebellion.
Once he didn't succeed in the surprise attack at the first time, after Huang Gai heard the news, he would be able to take his troops along the Xiangshui River to Linxiang City in a short period of time.
At that point, everything that has been planned quietly will be in vain.
Denied the plan to attack Linxiang, Huo Yi once again roamed on the map with a stalemate gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Linxiang is difficult to overcome, I'm afraid this is the only place." ”
As soon as you point your finger, you can see that the location on the map is located in Baqiu, east of Dongting Lake.
"This place is bordered by deep mountains in the east, Dongting Lake in the west, the Yangtze River in the north, and Xiangshui in the south."
"If you can occupy this place, you can block the Yangtze River, cut off the main force of the Wu army stationed in the Lukou camp downstream and the public security, and retreat can also isolate the land south of the Yangtze River to form a situation of closing the door and fighting the dog against the Wu soldiers between several counties."
Huo Yi stared at Baqiu's location tightly, and his mind became more and more active and thoughtful.
The more I looked, the more I felt the importance of Baqiu to the overall situation!
If this place is occupied, the counties in Jiangnan will be completely blocked.
The Lukou battalion downstream and Jiang Qin's troops, who were intercepting the reinforcements led by Guan Ping, would be completely cut off from Sun Quan, who was pro-tun public security.
At that time, Huo Yi would be able to send his subordinates to cruise on the river to detain the boats coming and going to the Wu people.
The plan was certain, Huo Yi's expression quickly became serious, and his eyes became more and more resolute.
Immediately summoned his subordinates to stand by, and only waited for his own order, and he could be promoted at any time.
And then he was lying dormant quietly, without the slightest movement.
The so-called "quiet as a virgin" is nothing more than this, without revealing the slightest movement.
It didn't take long for Huang Gai and his subordinates to go north along the Xiangshui River to Yiyang to gradually suppress the rebellion, and within the sudden effort, the war broke out in Changsha.
I saw that the various tribes of Wuxi Man went deep into the hinterland of Changsha along the tributaries of Hunan such as Yuanshui and Zishui, and attacked and disturbed one after another.
In an instant, the situation in Changsha County was in chaos in an instant, and the officials of the cities were all panicked.
The war-torn military situation in various places is also like snowflakes falling, constantly pouring into Yiyang.
Front-line barracks, in military tents.
At this time, the first place with white hair, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, nearly seventy years old but full of energy, the veteran Huang Gai in a battle robe is discussing the current situation of Yiyang counterinsurgency with his generals.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Yiyang bandit rebellion is a disaster, one party colluded with the people to rise up, but the combat power of the soldiers under his command is very low, and now our army has won several battles, and the rebels have been trapped in Yiyang City and cannot move!"
"It is expected that in a few days, the thief army will collapse without a fight due to lack of food."
"Old General Huang is brave~"
"Yes! Unexpectedly, the old general is nearly seventy years old, but he is still sharp, and he is strong when he is old, and the last general admires it! ”
"With the old general here, why should Changsha worry about it?"
As soon as these words fell, I saw that the generals in the tent were all high-spirited, and they were all boasting with joy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the main force of our army is now ......"
"Newspaper... Changsha Urgent Report ......"
