After Huo Yi took over the initiative of Fu Jie to take charge of the army, he also quickly arranged the defense around Xiakou.

Guan Ping dispatched elite troops to strengthen the Snake Mountain defense line, and returned to Shuizhai, and also heard that the generals said that Huo Yi was not moving.

He was also full of suspicion for a while, and hurried into the main account.

At this time, there was only Ma Liang, a military adviser standing on the side, and Huo Yi, who was staring at the map with his eyes glued.

"General Huo......"

"Oh? Is the major general back, and the defense of Snake Mountain has been arranged? ”

Hearing the call, Huo Yi raised his head and asked.

"Well, everything is arranged."

Guan Ping replied truthfully, "I just heard about ......"

Before his words fell, he saw Huo Yi respond with a smile: "The young general is here for the matter of Yi not moving?" ”

"Ah...... Precisely. ”

Hearing that he had already seen through his intentions, Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, and said, "I heard that General Huo had previously sent barbarian troops to attack Chaisang along the foothills of Chibi Mountain. ”

"Now it is said that Lu Xun's troops have entered Exian County along Fankou Lake and are about to go down the river east to recapture Chaisang, so our army will not support it?"

He still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.

"There is no need to send troops, Yi has already been deployed."

Huo Yi responded lightly, with no disdain on his face.

Just when Guan Ping and Ma Liang on the side each glanced at each other, both wondering why he was so confident, suddenly footsteps outside the tent followed.

The attendant strode with a saber on his waist, and bowed his hands with a serious face:

"General Qiqi Huo, the scout has the latest military information that when General Wu Lu Xun and his people arrived in Exian along Fankou Lake and were about to go down the river to attack Chaisang, they didn't expect that as soon as Wu soldiers set off, an urgent military situation came."

"The mountain people on the south bank of Jiangxia who escaped into the mountains suddenly restarted riots, and the arson attacked Exian and other places, so that Lu Xun had to retreat for the time being."

After presenting the military information truthfully, Huo Yi waved his hand and retreated, "Okay, the general knows, you should retreat." ”

"Wow,"

The attendant quickly surrendered his promise and retired.

There was a brief silence in the tent.

Guan Ping was shocked when he heard Fang Cai's military situation, "Such a coincidence? ”

As soon as he spit out a sentence, he seemed to notice that Huo Yi's face was quite calm, and then asked with a little speculation: "Could this be instigated by Shaoxian, right?" ”

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Huo Yi suddenly burst out laughing, "Don't hide it from the young general, this is exactly what it was planned." ”

Immediately, he didn't plan to hide it, and quickly told the two of them about the situation.

It turned out that as early as when the barbarians raided Chaisang and sent people to ask for follow-up actions, Huo Yi had already made arrangements to seize the important town of Chaisang, and the Wuxi barbarians in the south instigated the Yuzhang barbarians in the south to revolt, making Jiangdong County unpeaceful.

At the same time, he also secretly sent people to plan the Jiangxia barbarians hiding in the deep mountains on the south bank or the mountain people who escaped into the mountains and forests due to the war.

Only then did he have the order that even if his main army returned to help, he also ordered to keep the order that Xiakou did not take the initiative to attack.

Quietly listening to his story, after most of the effort, Guan Ping's smile became thicker and thicker, and he gave a thumbs up again and again: "Shao first planned and then moved, it seems that Ping's insistence on handing over the command of the army to you is really the right choice." ”

"Yes, General Huo's layout is exquisite, and it is beyond the reach of others!"

"It's no wonder that even Sun Quan's henchman Lu Meng has been defeated by the generals several times one after another, which is not surprising."

As soon as the words fell, not only Guan Ping was quite admired, but Ma Liang's white eyebrows on one side were stirred, and his face was happy.

"Major General, Mr. is overrated."

When Huo Yi heard the news, he responded quite humbly.

Knowing the news that the Jiangxia Man and Yuzhang Shanyue tribes on the south bank were now instigated to riot, Guan Ping and Ma Liang were also quite relaxed.

"As long as we can firmly occupy Xiakou, the initiative will be in our hands."

After pondering for a moment, Huo Yi's fingers continued to wander on the map and analyzed it to the two of them:

"Chaisang can't be recaptured, and the land of Jiangdong will be cut off from the main force of the Wu people who are deep in Jingzhou."

"After a long time, the counties and counties in Jiangdong will be in chaos."

The words were full of anger, and the two of them heard it as if they were deafening.

Ma Liang quickly came to his senses and said in a deep voice:

"Liang understands what General Huo meant."

"If our army occupies Xiakou and Chaisang, it can lead Shanyue and Jiangxia to cause chaos, and it will be difficult for the Wu army to recapture the important town of Chaisang under the harassment of the attack."

"As long as the war is deadlocked, it will only be Sun Quan who is in a hurry, not us!"

At this point, he paused and responded very calmly:

"It would be unwise for us to take the initiative to attack and confront the main force of the Wu army stationed in Jinkou in the south."

"Fighting on the river, the Jiangdong Naval Division should not be underestimated!"

"At that time, the battle will be in vain, if the Sun and Liu families fight in the middle of the river and lose both, won't they let the northern Cao fishermen benefit?"

A beaming voice fell, and Huo Yi on the side nodded his head in agreement with a solemn look on his face, and unconsciously clapped his hands.

"Sir is resourceful, that's exactly what Yi Zhi thinks."

A word was spit out, which undoubtedly made Guan Ping on the side look more and more admiring, and boasted:

"General Huo is still young, but he can take care of the overall situation."

"It's better to be even!"

Seeing this, Huo Yi hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The young general is too modest, you have been on the battlefield with General Guan for a long time, and you have a lot of experience in using soldiers. ”

"On the contrary, Yi should ask you for more advice."

"Ho ho ho ho~"

Seeing that his expression was not arrogant or impatient, Guan Ping laughed twice and said, "Then let's teach each other." ”

"Okay~ Major General, a word is a certainty."

Huo Yi's eyes were firm, and he responded with a fist.

After that, the two of them are a fist bump.

As both of them came to their senses and learned about Huo Yi's plan, they no longer doubted the situation of not moving.

"Major General, the military hearts of all the generals and colonels in the army are afraid that they will have to be appeased by you this time."

After a little mover, Huo Yi seemed to think that a long time of standing still might affect the enthusiasm of the officers and men in the army, so he quickly turned his head sideways and asked Guan Ping.

"Don't worry, Shaoxian, I'll handle this matter."

Guan Ping naturally knew very well that the soldiers under his command did not have the slightest good impression of Jiangdong's three and two sneak attacks against the alliance, and this time he had the opportunity to counterattack but stationed in Xiakou without moving, he would indeed complain.

He immediately and decisively gave the order.

After he was ordered to leave the tent, Huo Yi's eyes slowly moved to the north bank of Jiangxia on the map, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face fell into solemnity.

The goal of seizing Xiakou and attacking Chaisang was completed very smoothly.

The Shanyue tribes of Jiangxia Man and Yuzhang were also instigated to cause rebellion as promised.

But he still looked quite worried at this time, and was thinking about the next action.
