Kuai Liang analyzed: "There are two possibilities! The first was that Fan Li wanted to take a risk and force his troops to board the small boat that we left for them. Furthermore, they were searching everywhere for boats, or cutting down trees, removing the wood from the houses of the people to be used as boats, so that they could pass through the soldiers in large numbers. The Southern County and the Jiangxia County were filled with rivers and lakes. It would take a very long time for one to cross a large number of soldiers! But if Fan Li does not understand the terrain and is forced to cross the river, then these soldiers that crossed the river were either killed by the water army that I sent out or surrounded and annihilated by the army that was already set up! "
"If you don't understand the terrain? Adventure! Then, the second possibility was that the fishermen at the riverside had revealed it to Fan Li, or was it that Fan Li did not want to take the risk and wanted to think of a stable method to advance? Turn around and attack Zero Ling Hengyang and the others? "
Kuai Liang laughed and gave Liu Biao a thumbs up, saying, "Master is truly the wise one! "Master, you are right!" Liu Biao became proud, and asked: "Which one do you think is more likely? Which step will Fan Li take? "
Kuai Liang resolutely and decisively concluded, "When Fan Li comes to the Han River, he will definitely not dare to march, and instead just stand there and not move. When Fan Li went to the riverside and saw that there were few boats and a large amount of forests being cut down, he was sure to think of something. "Also, with his reputation, he might be able to find out the truth about the rivers and lakes from the fishermen."
Liu Biao nodded his head: "So that's how it is!" Kuai Liang said complacently, "Master, everything is within our expectations! The moment Fan Li arrived at the river bank was the moment he would lose! Our plan is to keep everything in check, and if we think about everything carefully, how can Fan Li not lose? Master only needs a few troops to protect the invigorating yang to trap Han Cheng's area. Han Cheng is a capable general that Fan Li is very proud of, he must have brought a lot of soldiers to trap him, then the army that we have prepared to attack the Changsha can move out, and when the Changsha falls into my hands, Fan Li's retreat path will be cut off. There is a great river in front, and there is no retreat path, Fan Li can only surrender! Furthermore, when the battle between Chu and Han would start again in Fan Li's territory, Peng Yue had disturbed Chu Yu's plans! "Haha!"
Liu Biao was still a little worried, he said: "That stinking brat Zhang Xian has the hearts of Xiang Tan people, he will definitely get the help of Changsha people, if we can't attack Changsha then we will have failed!"
"Ha, ha, ha!" Kuai Yue disapproved, and Kuai Liang also laughed along. He didn't know what these two brothers were laughing about as he looked at them. Kuai Yue naturally could not let his master be anxious on the side, so he told him the truth, "We have long known that Zhang Xian is unloyal to our master, and this person must be eliminated. Because of this, we sent people to sneak around to his side to obtain his trust and secretly drugged Zhang Xian. I believe that Zhang Xian is already completely ill, and only needs to be given the most important potion, and he will soon die of an illness! The Changsha lost Zhang Xian, so it would be impossible for it to defend Fan Li with its life, so Fan Li would have a path to retreat to! "
Wonderful! That's wonderful! " Liu Biao clapped his hands, he was ecstatic, and increased his palm to his forehead: "Thank you, God, for bestowing the Qing brothers to me! Humph! Once Fan Li dies, not only will I be able to protect my Jing Xiang City, I can also take this opportunity to get my Jiao Prefecture. That's great! "Great!"
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at each other, and Kuai Yue looked into the distance: "Fan Li, wait! I will avenge my brother! Fan Li, you scoundrel! You killed Qu Hui and completely ignored our family. If we don't take revenge for this, our family will never have to live in this world ever again! With your death, we will prove that we, the Kui family of Jingzhou, can never afford to offend you! " Kuai Liang also nodded and said, "That's right! Whether it's in public or private, Fan Li, the strongest enemy that threatens Master must die! "
Liu Biao did not lose out in expressing his concern for his subordinates. He turned to Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue and said: "If we can catch Fan Li, I will let you all handle the enemy! At that time, the scene of Fan Li being killed must have become bigger, to show that whoever dares to offend my advisor will end up like this! " Actually, there was another reason why Liu Biao wanted to do this was because he wanted to announce to others how miserable it would be if he were to become his enemy.
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were naturally grateful to Liu Biao after hearing his words. As for Liu Biao and the other two, they were also feeling proud of their meticulous plans. Later on, it also proved that Fan Li was indeed walking step by step as Liu Biao and the others expected, and was trapped in a difficult situation …
When I was on the Great River with my army, I sent troops to search for boats, but they could not find many boats. Furthermore, most of the trees in the forest surrounding the river were cut down, and some fishermen told me about the situation on the Great River.
Since my investigation on the riverside had delayed me for quite some time, there were even scouts who reported, "Liu Biao's water army from Jiang Ling came down the river. They seem to want to fight our army." How did Liu Biao's water army arrive so quickly? Did he not wait for our army to cross the river before coming to cut it off? What is Liu Biao thinking? " I don't understand that.
"Report!" The scout rushed in and reported to me, "Lord, something terrible has happened! The Changsha was under attack from Liu Biao's army, and for some reason, taiwai was seriously ill, and was unable to command the heavy responsibility of the city defense! The people of Changsha City were also uneasy! I'm afraid this city cannot be guarded for long! " I looked at the scout and asked, "The Changsha is in danger, what about the General Han Cheng? Didn't they come back to the Changsha? " The scouts answered at the same time, "General Han Cheng wanted to come back for reinforcements, but Liu Biao had separated an army to hold him back.'s defenders shouted that they wanted to attack General Han Cheng from two sides as well, so General Han Cheng was in a dilemma! Our food supply is being constantly harassed by General Yuan Shu's remnants, Chen Lan and Lei Bao. Our food supplies are often robbed, and I'm afraid that due to the harassment by Chen Lan and Lei Bo, we will have to increase the number of troops that we use to transport food supplies here. As a result, not a tenth of our food supply has been lost on the way! "
"What!?" If the Changsha is lost, what will happen to my men if I end my retreat? Also, since my food path is being disturbed by Chen Lan and Lei Bo? This, this is a headache! " When I heard this news, I jumped up and hammered my hammer into my palm, causing a "bang" sound. I paced back and forth, not knowing what to do in the face of this dilemma.
In? Retreat? But if I go in, how am I going to cross the river without enough ships? If we retreat, Liu Biao would definitely seize the opportunity to chase us down. When the soldiers of our army heard that the retreat route was cut off, their morale would drop, and they only wanted to escape, but they would end up in a miserable state. However, if he did not retreat now, he was afraid that he would not have the chance to do so again! What should he do?
It was difficult for me to get off the back of the tiger due to my abnormal anxiety. I could not stop walking back and forth. Chen Zhi's generals had arrived, along with some from afar. I was overjoyed to see him, for he had come from the rear, and that was one of the happiest things about him. However, I was worried about the current predicament. I didn't have time to ask them to turn their heads and instead asked, "It seems like this is a dilemma. What should we do now?"
Chen Zhi and the others were all silent, as they too, felt a headache coming on. I looked straight at him and said, "Zi Hong, do you have a good way to help me now? Zi Hong, I'm counting on you! " As I have experienced so many difficulties, I can only rely on him now, but I do not know why I unconsciously formed a dependence on him.
Zhang Xuan shook his head, indicating that he had no other choice. As for everyone else, they remained silent as well. I looked at everyone, and those who cast their gaze towards me automatically lowered their heads. "Sigh!" I let out a long sigh.
Chen Zhi stood out and said, "Fourth brother, now we can only send our troops to support the Changsha quickly. Hopefully, the Changsha can still hold on, but just in case, if by the time the army arrived, the Changsha would have already fallen, then we can let them quickly defend against Wu Chang and Liu Yang, and ensure that we have the only way out. However, my biggest worry is that if I want to cross Liu Shui, there must be enough ships! Too much time for soldiers to cross the river is a headache, but it's not like we have the time to march here! "Sigh!"
Ships are essential to the Jingzhou's water battles, and I did not prepare a large number of ships for the journey. This is my biggest mistake! This mistake caused me to fall into a dilemma of life and death. I regretted it greatly. But now, there's no good way. I can only do as Zhi Zhi says. So I agreed.
"Ai!" He sighed and said, "I still can't stop my lord from coming here! Sigh! I have already sent someone to inform the General Han Cheng of the predicament we are in right now. I hope that his army can become a living part of the board, and then active the board! "
I looked at the map and stared at the invigorating yang, Han Cheng's army was at the edge of the water under the Dongting Lake, could they really bring me hope? "I shook my head, then looked at the righteousness of the situation. It seemed that I didn't have much confidence." "Sigh!" I sighed again. Dark clouds shrouded the sky above us …
