These words fell out, and in the face of Guan Ping's question, Ma Liang, who was a military adviser on the side, also pricked up his ears and quietly looked forward to it, what is Huo Yi's good strategy this time, can he swear that the Jiangxia army is here to send it?

When Huo Yi heard the news, his expression was calm, he picked up a stack of bamboo slips in his hand and played with it, and after a while, he said with a rather relaxed face:

"According to the scouts, the Cao soldiers on the north bank of Jiangxia are only five or six thousand soldiers and horses, and if Wen Ping wants to lead the people to Shiyangtun on the north bank of the river to station here, then at least four or five thousand troops must be gathered."

"Otherwise, it will not be able to play the role of coercing our army to respond to the Wu army in Chrysostom in the south."

At this point, the smile on his expression became thicker, and he said:

"Major General, Mr. thinks that if our army sends a homeopathic army to attack Anlu, what will the situation be?"

As soon as these words fell, the two of them stared at the map with serious faces, and after a long while, Ma Liang replied:

"Anlu is located east of Zhuanshui, and if the city is occupied by our army, it will be able to cut off the connection between Zhuanshui and Zhangling County in the north."

"As soon as the reinforcements are cut off, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be alone."

When these words fell, Guan Ping also looked happy at this time, and he was overjoyed, "Indeed, a surprise attack on Anlu is a clever move, and Cao Bing is currently able to contact the north bank of Jiangxia thanks to two waterways. ”

"One is Hanshui, but it is still in the blockade of more than 10,000 elites led by my father."

"The second is the water, which connects to Zhangling in the north."

"If we hold these two water systems in our possession, then the land on the north bank of Jiangxia can be easily recovered."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them agreed with Huo Yi's strategy after a little silence.

However, at this time, Ma Liang noticed one point, and said with a worried face: "It's just that it is more difficult for us to quietly cross the river to the north bank and raid?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean, sir? ”

Guan Ping was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

"You see, there are only two directions from Xiakou to the north bank, either go west into the Han River and land along the Hanjin River, but Wen Ping can go south to garrison Shiyang by the river."

"Isn't it under the enemy's nose that we send troops to Hanjin?"

"Isn't that a quick response?"

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping's expression suddenly became quite solemn, and he echoed: "What Mr. said is true!" ”

"The road to the Han River does not work, so the only way to go east is to go east along the river, cross the river from the north of Fankou and land on the shore to attack Xiling, and then go west along the land route to Anlu."

"But the key is that Xiling on the north bank of Jiangxia and Fankou on the south bank, Exian and other places are currently under the control of Jiangdong, and our surprise attack will be detected no matter which side of the east or west we go to?"

The two of them were originally immersed in and happy because they heard about the surprise attack, but after thinking that it was not so easy to attack quietly, they became full of worries.

"Major General, what is Sir worried about?"

Huo Yi looked at the solemn look in the eyes of the two with a pair of pupils, and couldn't help throwing the bamboo slip on the desk, and said with a smile:

"Since Yi proposed this plan, he has his own perfect strategy!"

Hearing this, Guan Ping's expression suddenly became quite excited, and he arched his hand and said: "How is Shao Xian going to act to hide from Cao and Sun's eyes and ears?" ”

When Huo Yi heard the news, he waved his hand and said softly: "You don't need to hide it, just act brightly!" ”

"Huh?"

Guan Ping, Ma Liang shouted in unison when he heard it, and he was puzzled by the constant intersection, and he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd?

Huo Yi was not surprised to look at the surprised expressions on the two of them, and said with a smile on his face: "Have you forgotten that Yi sent three thousand sailors down the east to the Fankou waters to confront Wu General Han Dang?" ”

"Shao first wants to use this army of soldiers and horses to cross the river to attack Xiling and take Anlu?"

Guan Ping was the first to wake up and respond, and then said with a little worry, "It's just that if this army is used to attack the land on the north bank, won't it be able to balance the Wu army stationed in Exian?" ”

"That Han Dang is a veteran of the third generation of the Sun family, and he has been galloping on the battlefield for decades, and I am worried that the Jiangxia barbarians who are only rebelling against our army's naval division will be pacified by them one after another."

"At that time, the land of Fankou Lake and Exian County has been stabilized, and Han is now going to reinforce Lu Xun's department, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Chaisang to defend for a long time with only a few hundred Wuxi barbarians."

"Well, the major general has a point!"

Ma Liang, who was on the side, also nodded solemnly in response after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, after Huo Yi heard the news, he said unappreliably, "Chaisang? If this city is lost, it will be lost, and Yi was also thinking about when to order the Wuxi barbarians to withdraw from the city. ”

"Chaisang controls the land of Jiangdong and the waterways of Jingzhou, we finally captured it, wouldn't it be a pity to give up?"

When Guan Ping heard that he was planning to take the initiative to abandon Chaisang City, he hurriedly said.

"This place is important, but it is not beneficial to us in the short term, so what is the joy and the loss?"

This remark was spit out, looking at Huo Yi who was talking eloquently, Ma Liang on the side seemed to understand what he meant, the white eyebrows between his eyebrows provoked, and he said slowly:

"What General Huo said is reasonable!"

"Although Chaisang is an important passage between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, if we don't go down the river to take Jiangdong, this place will be a burden for our army."

"If we do this, it will increase our garrison and consume military strength."

"If you abandon it, as long as you keep Xiakou and don't lose it, you can curb the possibility of Jiangdong trying to sneak attack my Jingzhou again."

Ma Liang's words also gave full play to his strategic overall view, and expounded the role of Chaisang.

When Huo Yi heard this, he said with a smile: "What Mr. said is very agreeable. ”

"I sent the Wuxi barbarians to attack Chaisang along the mountain road on the Lushui side, but when I first attacked Lukou, Yi was not sure that he would be able to capture Xiakou at that time."

"At that time, the main force of the Sun clan was gathered outside the state capital of Jiangling, and the attack on Chaisang could also lead the war to the east of the river, so as to achieve the strategic purpose of attracting the enemy to give up the attack on Jiangling and turn back."

"Now that we occupy Xiakou and hold various water systems such as the river and the Han water, we have shifted the battlefield from under Jiangling City to the south bank of Jiangxia."

"The Wu army can't recapture Xiakou, so they don't dare to go back to attack Jiangling."

"Therefore, Chaisang's abandonment has no effect on our army."

When these words settled, Guan Ping's eyebrows were furrowed, his face showed a serious look, and his tone revealed a little melancholy:

"If we make a surprise attack on the north bank of Jiangxia this time, making the Wenpin Department look like a lone army, and Lu Meng in the south sees that he can't recapture Xiakou and decides to make a desperate gamble and return to Jiangling with most of the main force, how should we deal with it?"

"Attack Gangneung? The major general doesn't know anything, and the strategy of changing families has long had this intention! ”

Unexpectedly, Huo Yi, who heard this, became interested instead, and responded with great interest, "If Lu Meng really wants to make up his mind to change homes, then we will accompany him to the end." ”

"If he crosses the river, I will also cross the river, and if he attacks Jingzhou, then I will go down the river along Xiakou and take Jianye directly, and even take Jiangdong together."
