Chapter 427

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

The prefecture!

Deng Zhan's face was dignified. After entering the yamen, he went straight to Liu Xiu's study.

Entering the study, Deng Zhan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiu. He said, "my Lord, this is the news just received from Yizhou. The situation is grim."

After Liu Xiu browsed one side, his eyes became sharp.

After the spring of next year, Yizhou will attack Nanjun!

The news is shocking.

In addition to Yizhou, Cao Ren's army in Nanyang County will also send troops to the south.

This news is really amazing.

But the advantage is that even if there is a war, it will be after the spring of next year. Liu Xiuxian, in particular, has mastered the intelligence and initiative, and it will be easy to wait for the war to start next year.

Liu Xiu said, "Deng Zhan, send orders to Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Yang Shu, Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yi Feng to come to the hall for discussion."

"No!"

When Deng Zhan got the order, he went down to inform him.

Everyone gathered in the hall and took their seats.

Liu Xiuse said: "just received the news, Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu to Yizhou, and has united with Liu Zhang of Yizhou. At present, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao have decided to attack Jingzhou after the spring of next year. Among them, Cao Ren will go south to Nanyang County, and Liu Zhang will attack Nanyang County. "

When they heard this, they were all surprised.

The news came too suddenly.

Yi Ji said: "Cao Cao joined forces with Liu Zhang, and the two sides attacked each other. It seems that Jingzhou can't be peaceful again."

Kuai Liang said: "in terms of grain, it seems that we should make preparations in advance. Otherwise, if we meet suddenly, the grain will not be able to keep up. Today, the total strength of Jingzhou has already exceeded 150000. It's not easy to raise so many soldiers in Jingzhou. "

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Ji Bo, Zi Rou, you two have to worry about food and equipment. Before the spring of next year, we must prepare the food for war. "

"No!"

Yi Ji and Kuai Liang bow their hands.

Pang Tong said slowly: "Lord, besides Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, we have to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan is seeking peace for the time being, he is a lonely Wolf. Once he sees turmoil in Jingzhou, Sun Quan will surely send troops. Therefore, Jiangdong has to ask Huang Zhong and Tai Shici to put more effort into keeping them on guard. "

Liu xiudao: "Shi Yuan's analysis is reasonable. I'm afraid Sun Quan won't sit back and ignore it."

Jia Xu smoothed his beard under his jaw and said, "Lord, in fact, the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Zhang seems to be fierce and is more likely to cause a series of reactions. But it is also very easy to study it carefully."

Everyone's eyes fall on Jia Xu.

Liu xiudao: "what do you think of Mr. Wenhe?"

Jia Xu said: "the worst situation is that Cao Cao, Liu Zhang and Sun Quan attack at the same time. But let's analyze it. Cao Cao is the most powerful among them, but he is also the one who can't get rid of himself. "

"Last time, Cao Cao coerced 200000 troops to the south."

"In the end, he was burned clean by the Lord, and the losses were so heavy that there was turmoil in the northern states. Although Cao Cao must have recovered after he sent troops to suppress it, he must have garrisons to guard it. It is impossible for him to send so many troops to the south. "

"At present, Cao's troops are just Cao Ren's troops going south. They seem fierce, but in fact they are strong outside and strong in the middle."

"Therefore, Cao Jun's journey can be ignored. Just send a letter to Zhang Ren to make him more careful and alert, so that he won't be attacked and disorganized. Then nothing will happen."

Jia Xu continued: "as for Sun Quan, the successive wars between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, especially the loss of huanggai and Lvmeng, and the surrender of taishici and Lu Su, have greatly weakened the power of Jiangdong. In particular, compared with Jingzhou, Jiangdong is more chaotic in the mountains, and is constrained by the aristocratic families. Sun Quan's life is more difficult. If he wants to attack Jingzhou, it depends on the situation. If he has a chance, he will dare to attack. "

"Even if the LORD was a little shocked, Jiangdong would not dare to act rashly."

"The Jiangdong army has long been insufficient for fear."

"I think the focus of this battle is still on the Yizhou army."

"The reason why we say Yizhou army is not how strong and brave it is, it is because Yizhou army is the link between Cao army and Jiangdong army."

Jia Xu's eyes were bright, and there was a trace of sharpness in his deep eyes.

It's like a sharp knife.

Jia Xu's tone is very peaceful, but it seems to have a lot of strength, shocking.

"On the surface, the Cao army is united with the Yizhou army, but in fact, it relies on the Yizhou army to take the lead. As I have said just now, the Jiangdong army would have sent troops only when the Cao army and the Yizhou army were successful."

"Therefore, I think the focus of this battle is on the Yizhou army."

"If the Yizhou army is defeated, then the Cao army will withdraw to Wan county and dare not go south. Dongjiang army will never covet it again. "Jia Xu said solemnly: "this battle only needs to be dealt a head-on blow to Yizhou army. Then the war that will be faced in the spring of next year will be solved."

After hearing this, people's eyes showed approval.

Pang Tong took the initiative to say: "I agree with Wen He Gong's analysis, which is indeed the truth."

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled with joy and said, "I agree with Mr. Wenhe's analysis. Well, let's discuss it now and make a plan in advance for the war situation in the south. "

"At present, according to the information sent back from Yizhou, it is not sure who will lead the troops and how many troops will be."

"The only certainty is that the line of attack goes from Bajun to Nanjun. The county bordering Bajun and Nanjun is Wu County, while the only county bordering Wuxian and Bajun is Yufu county. Therefore, it can be determined that next year's fighting will take place in Wu County and Yufu county. "

"What we can do now is start from Wu County," Liu said

When it comes to the arrangement of marching and fighting, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang do not interrupt.

Yang Shu, Liao Hua, Yi Feng and Huo Jun are not in a good position. For the time being, they only have the role of spectators, then only Pang Tong and Jia Xu.

Pang Tong said: "now that we have grasped the opportunity, if we are still waiting to die, it will be unreasonable. What's more, Wen Hegong has made it clear just now that the key to this stop is the battle of Yizhou. Therefore, in this battle, we should not only fight well, but also fight quickly. We should defeat the Yizhou army which attacked Nanjun with lightning force. I suggest that once the war starts next year, we should take the initiative to attack. "

Jia Xu said: "to take the initiative is really the best choice. Because we don't know what the geographical situation is at the junction of Wu County and Yufu County, but generally speaking, I think we can make a big strategy, so we choose the junction of Yufu county and Wu County, find a suitable place, wait for the other party to break the border, and then fight it at one stroke. "

After listening, Liu Xiu carefully considered their analysis.

At present, this is the right analysis.

After careful consideration, Liu Xiu said: "I don't know the war situation ahead, and it's difficult to deduce the layout in detail. So Wen he, Shi Yuan and Huo Jun, let's go to Wu County in Nanjun. Go to check the information, and then make the layout. Well, we'll start tomorrow morning. "

"No!"

Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Huo Jun immediately responded to the order.

Yi Ji and Kuai Liang looked at each other with a familiar expression.

Liu Xiu said, "Ji Bo and Zi Rou, when I'm no longer in Xiangyang, you two are working hard. Yang Shu, Liao Hua and Yi Feng are all good. Let them have more experience and strive to share more government affairs earlier. "

"I'll do it

Yi Ji and Kuai Liang nodded when they heard the speech.

After listening to this, Yang Shu, Liao Hua and Yi Feng all showed a trace of joy on their faces. Liu Xiu not only asked them to take part in the Jingzhou war, but also entrusted them personally. Obviously, he was very devoted to them. Only in this way, as long as they have made achievements, they will be able to make progress in the future.

Liu Xiu waved the crowd to step down. Then he sent someone to inform Huang Hu and Sha Moke, and asked them to lead the 100 Flying Tiger camp and go to the backyard.

This trip to Wu county involves the investigation of the terrain and the layout. It's not something that can be completed in a day or two, so we have to talk to Huang Yueying and sun Shangxiang.
