Chapter 671

Jiangling County was once the seat of Nanjun county.

Many grains of Nanjun are gathered here.

Especially Jiangling County is located in the main channel of water vein, extending in all directions, can transport grain, is a very important place.

Zhang Xiu led the army to the south of Xiangyang. After arriving in Jiangling County, the army took a rest in Jiangling County. All the way south, Zhang Xiu is also constantly training soldiers and integrating private soldiers of various families.

As a matter of fact, these private soldiers sent by the Kuai family, Cai family and other major families all have their own characteristics and are easy to split up the army. Therefore, when Zhang Xiu marched south, she upset the soldiers of various families, confused the soldiers in the whole army, reorganized them and formed the military structure.

For many years, Zhang Xiu was a soldier in the flying bear army. There were 1000 flying bear soldiers in the army, which could save Zhang Xiu a lot of things and quickly form combat effectiveness.

When the army went down to the south, the royal guards of Wang Yue had been constantly searching for information.

The troops and horses did not move, and the food and grass came first.

That's right.

In the same way, it is crucial to know yourself and your enemy well and win a hundred battles. If the royal guards can get more information, it will be of great benefit to Zhang Xiu's next war.

Along the way, there was news coming back. After seeing it, Zhang Xiu became more and more familiar with the situation of Wuling county and other places.

After a little rest in Jiangling County, the army went straight to Fuling county.

Fuling county is the northernmost County of Wuling County, adjacent to Jiangling County. If you win Fuling County, you will have a bridgehead to attack Wuling county.

Near the border of Fuling County, near noon, the army took a rest, and Wang Yue rushed into the camp. Wang Yue's face was slightly dignified. He reported: "Lord, the news of Wuling county has been sent back from Linyuan county."

With that, Wang Yue handed the letter.

After reading the letter quickly, Zhang Xiu said, "call Sima Yi, Guoyuan and Pang Tong."

"Here it is

Wang Yue immediately went to inform, and in a short time, the three joined hands to enter the camp. Although Huang Zhong was in Jiangxia County, Sima Yi and others left with Zhang Xiu.

These are Zhang Xiu's counselors, enough to give advice for Zhang Xiu.

Pang Tong and others sat down and said, "Lord, what's the latest news coming back?"

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "we have really got the latest news. We have come close to Fuling county all the way. At this time, no matter Wuling County, or Changsha County, or Lingling County, or Guiyang County, they all had a response. "

"Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling County, not only raised troops, but also invited the other three counties to help. In addition, Jin Xuan asked shamoko, the king of Wuxi man in Wuling County, to send troops to help him. "

"According to Jin Xuan's general intention of dispatching troops, when we take down Fuling county and go south to Linyuan County, we are likely to be outflanked in Linyuan county. Even the other side's forces, including the forces of four prefectures and wuximan, are at least 70000. "

Zhang Xiu said: "our troops are only over 10000 soldiers in total. It is extremely unfavorable for us to confront Jin Xuan."

When Pang Tong, Guoyuan and Sima Yi heard the speech, their faces were full of thinking.

We are all thinking about this situation.

Sima Yi immediately asked people to get a big map of Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling county and Guiyang County. He looked at the map carefully and said, "Lord, in this battle, if we mobilize Huang Zhong's troops and then Chang'an's troops, we can drive straight in and destroy the enemy."

"But now the weather is getting colder and colder. Although there is less ice and snow all the way south, the weather is still extremely cold. It is not suitable for large-scale troop deployment and the burden is too heavy."

"In addition, all localities also need garrisons to avoid chaos."

Sima Yi said: "so now, we can only have such a small number of troops. Relying on the present strength and humble advice, we can win by surprise. "

Zhang Xiu said: "how to win by surprise?"

Sima Yi's hand fell on Changsha County and said: "now we slow down the speed of going south to Fuling County, and let the troops from Changsha County and other places gather in Linyuan county."

"After entering Fuling County, we immediately turned the direction of the army and headed for Changsha County. Long distance attack, maybe into Changsha County. The forces of the four counties in Jingnan are all concentrated in Wuling county. It's easy to attack Changsha County. "

"At that time, if you drive straight in, you will be invincible."

"In this way, the troops of Changsha County were forced to come back. The rest of the county's forces will come back together, so the Wuling county's forces will be empty again. "

Sima Yi said: "then, we quickly turned our direction, and then went to Wuling county to attack Fuling county. After seizing Fuling County, he went to Linyuan county again and took Linyuan county with one heart

Sima Yi's eyes were shining with fine light.

The current situation is the most suitable for surprise troops to win by surprise.

Zhang Xiu is also in constant thinking, his face reveals a meditative expression. He doesn't have any opinions about the long-distance attacks. Moreover, in the current army, every soldier's food is excellent, not the normal two meals a day, but three meals a day, with meat every day. The soldiers are very effective and can support the high-intensity attacks.Pang Tong said, "my Lord, I think I can take a rest on Zhongda's suggestion."

Zhang xiudao: "how to say?"

Pang Tong said: "after all, Zhongda's proposal did not break away from attacking Linyuan county and Changsha County. But in my opinion, the purpose of this war is to attack cities and plunder land, and the most important is to destroy the main forces of the four counties in Jingnan. "

"If the main forces of the four counties in Jingnan are destroyed, then it will be easy to attack them again. Even at that time, it will be much easier to break down or surrender one by one. "

"So the humble suggestion, according to Zhongda's suggestion, after killing Changsha County, we don't necessarily withdraw to Wuling county. We just need to pretend to make a plan to withdraw and ambush the reinforcements on the way back."

"It's most appropriate to surround and help."

Pang Tong said: "especially when it comes to the safety of Changsha County, Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha, can't ignore it. Destroy his troops, then Han Xuan's confidence will be completely destroyed. In this way, even the four counties in Jingnan were in danger, and the assembled forces would not attack and break themselves. "

Guoyuan echoed: "Lord, I agree with Pang Shangshu's suggestion. In this battle, we should mainly annihilate the main forces of the four counties in Jingnan, and at the same time expand our own forces. The number of our soldiers is small, but with the advance of the war, the number of our soldiers will increase. In this way, the combat effectiveness of our soldiers will become stronger and stronger. "

Zhang Xiuyan said: "in that case, we should take the strategy of attacking the West with the East. Next, we went into Fuling county first, then quickly hid our tracks and got rid of the sentinel who was following secretly. Then, from Fuling county to Changsha County. "

"My Lord is wise!"

Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others spoke together.

The army continued on its way, and the army led by Zhang Xiu easily entered Fuling county.

Even because of Jin Xuan's strategy, he didn't set up an army in Fuling county to resist, so Zhang Xiu's army was invincible in Fuling county and went smoothly all the way.

But after entering the territory of Fuling County, when the army was stationed at night, Zhang Xiu began to send sentinels to clean up the surrounding sentinels, and then led the troops to leave quietly, leaving only an empty military camp, and then quickly walked day and night to Changsha County.

This situation, after Jin Xuan's sentinel found, has lost the whereabouts of Zhang Xiu army.
