After the end of the new year, we entered the 13th year of Jian'an.

This year is 208 A.D.

In history, the battle of Guandu should have happened, and Liu Bei should also rise. Because the arrival of Liu Xiu has already changed the fate of countless people. Jingzhou's power is also thriving, and no one can easily covet it.

All these are accumulated by Liu Xiu bit by bit.

Liu Xiu is not a bit proud, because this is just the beginning.

No, he was supposed to be in Xiangyang for the Spring Festival, but he took Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Huo Jun and others to go from Xiangyang to Wuxian.

There were only 100 Flying Tiger battalions with them.

But Liu Xiu's personal demonstration, more women disguised as men's sun Shangxiang. When Huang Hu and Sha Moke knew sun Shangxiang's identity, they both turned a blind eye and regarded them as not seeing him.

Wu County, county.

Liu Xiu, Pang Tong and others all settled in the county government.

Government hall!

Wu county magistrate Yan Li stood respectfully beside Liu Xiu and said, "when you come to Wu County, you should be informed. The next officer is ready to welcome you in advance."

Liu xiudao said, "you don't need these empty gifts. If you transfer the map of Wu County, I will use it."

"No!"

Yan Li was ordered to turn around and get ready.

Liu Xiu looked at Huo Jun and asked, "Huo Jun, when will wenpin and Xu Shu arrive?"

Huo Jun bowed and said, "Lord, according to the report of the sentinel, it is expected that general Wen and division Xu will arrive in half a day."

This time Huo Jun followed him. He was doing all the contact and errands.

Because it was about the war after the Spring Festival, Liu Xiu sent a letter to Jiangling County and asked wenpin and Xu Shu to come to Wuxian county to discuss. After all, Nanjun was the jurisdiction of wenpin.

Liu Xiu nodded, looked at the crowd and said, "at the end of the new year, I should have spent the Spring Festival in Xiangyang, but I want you to follow me to Wuxian county. It's hard for you."

Jia Xu said: "Lord, a family is better than a family. We came to Wu county with our Lord for the sake of Jingzhou people, which is a matter of course. What's more, as a herdsman in Jingzhou, if he can come, why can't we? "

Pang Tong said, "what Wen Hegong said is true."

Other people also spoke in succession, all of them agreed with Jia Xu.

At this time, Yan Li came in with the map of Wu County and spread it directly on the ground.

This map, a sheepskin map, is marked in great detail. The mountains, official roads, lakes, rivers and streams on it are all carefully marked.

After Liu Xiu looked at them all, his eyes fell on the border of Yufu county.

On the map, at the border with Yufu County, there are also some landforms of Yufu County, but they are not very clear.

Pang Tong also looked at the map and said, "Lord, please look at the place on the map that borders Yufu county. There is a place marked with a gourd shaped terrain. The mouth of the gourd is toward Yufu County, and the middle and abdomen of the gourd is toward Wuxian county. "

"In terms of terrain, after the army entered Hulukou, the terrain was narrow at first, and then gradually became broad."

"If we choose the battlefield here, we just need to wait for the other party's troops to enter, and then give a head-on blow to get the other party back to Hulukou."

"At that time, Hulukou is the place where the other party died."

Pang Tong's eyes were shining with fine light.

Jia Xu looked at the topographic map of Hulukou and said, "according to this layout, the chance of winning should be great. Once the terrain of Hulukou is used successfully, the battle will be won. However, the use of hulugu for planning, there is no stream around, using the strategy of flooding is certainly not feasible. If we want to annihilate the enemy's army, I'm afraid we can only take fire attack. "

Pang Tong said: "if it's a fire attack, it must be prepared in advance. However, for the time being, we can not know when the other side will send troops, which is also a problem. Otherwise, it will not help if we plan a fire attack ahead of time. "

Liu Xiu said: "don't worry about the time when the other side sends troops. As long as Yizhou army sends troops, it must be under my control."

"If so, it will be easy," Jia said

With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu said, "what is Mr. Wenhe going to do?"

Jia Xu had a sharp look in his eyes and said: "Lord, we just need to send a vanguard to go there, and then deliberately feign defeat. Yizhou army pursues. Once they reach the position inside the gourd mouth, they can set fire to it. If we know the situation in advance, we can lay an ambush in advance. Once the other side enters the gourd mouth, it can win

After hearing this, Liu Xiu said, "for the time being, I will follow Wen he's fire attack strategy. However, at that time, maybe there will be a simpler strategy."

"Oh, what strategy?"

Liu Xiu's words made Jia Xu extremely confused.

Pang Tong's eyes brightened, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and said: "the Lord's meaning is to combine the inside with the outside?""So it is

Liu Xiu had a look of appreciation in his eyes.

If there were Fazheng or Zhang song among the leaders, it would be quite easy for Liu Xiu to complete this plan.

Although Jia Xu didn't know the situation of Yizhou, nor did he know that Fazheng and Zhang Song were Liu Xiu's people, he said after listening to the four words of "internal cooperation and external cooperation", that "if the Lord wants to implement the strategy of internal cooperation and external cooperation, then the status of this person must be low, in order to operate effectively. This means that the senior officials in Yizhou have their own masters. And once he leads, it's easy. "

"Yes

Liu Xiu nodded with a smile in his eyes.

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "my Lord is wise. I admire him."

Jia Xu did not expect that Liu Xiu had reached for Yizhou and successfully accepted Yizhou officials. Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu's northern expedition to Cao Cao was not a difficult task.

Even Jia Xu can speculate, what if Cao Cao's command has also planted Liu Xiu's people? Even if the placement of low-ranking people, it is also possible to do.

When they had agreed, they told them to go down and have a rest.

In the evening, Wen pin and Xu Shu arrived.

Liu Xiu personally summoned the two men and told them about the alliance between Yizhou and Cao Cao, and let wenpin quietly dispatch troops from Jiangling County. To hide from the Yizhou side, it is impossible to deploy troops in a big way. We can only act quietly and make arrangements.

Wen pin got the order and immediately arranged it.

Liu Xiu looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Yuanzhi, how many soldiers are there in the first army?"

Xu Shu looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "the original force exceeded 30000, and finally it was reduced back to 30000. These 30000 people, while training, are also reclaiming farmland. "

Liu xiudao: "well, it should be like this."

Xu Shu also said: "at present, the territory of Nanjun is flourishing. My Lord, even if he was attacked by the Yizhou army without knowing it, I am sure I can win with the wenpin general. "

"Good!"

With a smile in his eyes, Liu Xiu was also infected by Xu Shu.
