Chapter 572

Not only is Hebei battlefield in full swing, Nanyang is also facing the invasion of Jingzhou army.

Zhang jaw, dressed in military uniform, walked into the conference hall with a cold face. However, many generals of Nanyang army were separated from each other. Seeing Zhang jaw coming in, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "see General Zhang!"

"Well." Zhang jaw nodded slightly, went to the main position, and sat down, while FA regular was standing on one side and wearing the same clothes. Although he looked very young, he was calm between his eyebrows. It seemed that he would not cry when the sky fell.

After sitting still, he said to the Dharma: "filial piety, I'd like to introduce Cai Mao's marching situation to all generals."

"No FA is facing the bow hand, and then facing the generals. Standing behind the map, he is in high spirits.

"Look, gentlemen." FA Zheng put his hand on the map and said, "Cai Mao led his army from Xiangyang to the north along the Hanshui River. With the help of Jingzhou Navy, he marched along the river at a very fast speed. According to intelligence, he had arrived in Xinye a few days ago. I'm afraid he has arrived in Yuyang now."

"The Jingzhou army is coming so fast."

"Yes, there is a navy warship. It runs fast day and night. Of course, two legs can't catch up with it."

"This can't be done. Wancheng is also located on the Bank of the Han River. According to the speed of Jingzhou Navy, I'm afraid it will arrive in three days."

All the generals talked and looked serious.

He continued: "Cai Mao's army is about 40000, while the total number of our Nanyang army is less than 20000, and the enemy has a navy. From this point of view, our army is at a disadvantage."

Although Liu Ye and Zhang's troops were not the first to attack the southern part of Jingzhou, the main task was not to lead the army to the south of Quyang.

Seeing that the generals were embarrassed, Fazheng chuckled: "please rest assured, although our troops are few, they all follow the general's legal system, and they are well-trained. Moreover, our officers and men have their own fields in Nanyang County, and they will fight hard. The 40000 enemy army can not take advantage of it."

Liu Ye's policy of granting farmland in the army was based on the government soldier system of the Tang Dynasty, which was not a recruitment system, but a government system. The so-called government soldier system is to distribute fields to the soldiers in the army. They are peasants in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. The government soldiers will fight hard for their own fields. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is strong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cai Mao is the patriarch of the elite Cai family in Jingzhou. Once he occupies Nanyang, he will certainly embezzle Nanyang land and take it as his own. Therefore, this war is a battle to protect the interests of our army. We must not retreat, otherwise there will be no land allocated to us by the general." "Do you understand?" he said solemnly

When the generals heard this, they were filled with indignation and raised their arms.

"Defend Nanyang and never let the enemy occupy our territory!"

"The general's land distribution is limited. We will support it to the death."

Seeing that the morale of the people was high, Zhang jaw nodded with satisfaction: "very good. After Liu Biao was the imperial clan, he colluded with Yuan Shao in an attempt to subvert the imperial court. The general attacked the traitor Yuan Shao. We must not delay the general's hindrance!"

After stirring up the morale of the generals in Nanyang army, Fazheng beat the railway while it was hot: "please rest assured that you have made plans for this war. As long as the generals obey the orders of the general, this battle will be won!"

After that, FA Zheng looked at Zhang jaw and said, "please announce it to the general."

"Well." Zhang jaw nodded, stood up, and said in a loud voice, "listen to all the generals. The general is far sighted, leaving general pound stationed in Wuguan. There are 5000 Xiliang cavalry in Wuguan!"

"The general strategy of our army in this war is to lure the enemy in-depth!" Open jaw and sink.

"Luring the enemy deep?" Li Yan had some thoughts.

"Yes, it is to lure the enemy in-depth!"

Before the map, Zhang jaw pointed to Yuyang and said, "Cai Mao, with the help of the Navy, marched with great speed. Cai Mao bullied our army that there was no water army. Therefore, he was so arrogant that he would attack the cities along the way to show off his military power."

"And my plan is --" Zhang jaw drew out his voice, and his finger moved to Wancheng. He said calmly: "first of all, our army held on to Yuyang for several days, defeated Cai Mao's military front, and repaired the walls of Wancheng city. After holding on for a few days, we retreated quietly. Cai Mao was arrogant and arrogant. He was frustrated under the city of Yuyang. He would certainly speed up his march. After breaking through Yuyang, he could reach Wancheng in a day along the Han River. "

"At this time, what our army needs to do is to defend Wancheng. When Pang Lingming comes from Wuguan and leads Xiliang cavalry, our army will attack the enemy from inside and outside! Then he chased and killed along the way, and completely eliminated the courage of the Jingzhou army, so that the Jingzhou army would never dare to invade Nanyang again! " He opened his jaw.

It was the plan that Fazheng and Zhang jaw worked out after discussing with each other.

"Luring the enemy into Wancheng? Is it a little too risky? "

"Yes, if so, in case Cai Mao's troops plunder us, will Nanyang not suffer from a military disaster?"

"Yes, if the Jingzhou army destroyed the immature wheat, wouldn't it be the harvest this year?"Some of the generals and generals objected.

Zhang jaw nodded and said slowly, "well, you are right. These things will naturally be considered. However, Jingzhou army has Navy warships. If our army keeps the enemy out of the country and stays in Yuyang, the city will surely be besieged by Jingzhou army by land and water, and the losses will be heavy. Therefore, it is better to lure the enemy in depth."

Although Zhang jaw was good at fighting, it was impossible to keep Cai Mao's 40000 people out of Nanyang County with 20000 troops. Although it was inevitable that there would be some losses, it was much better than that of defending soldiers and soldiers.

Although there are still voices of opposition from the generals around, most of them still choose to take the overall situation into consideration and stop speaking.

"At present, the most important task is to stick to the cultivation of Yang."

Zhang jaw looked around the generals around him and solemnly said, "Yuyang is the first barrier to resist the Jingzhou army. If we stick to Yuyang, we will certainly face the siege of Jingzhou Navy and army. It is very difficult. Who dares to hold on to Yuyang for three days and defeat Cai Mao's Army front?"

All the generals on the left and right looked at each other and sighed. After all, Jingzhou army has 40000 troops, and there are Navy warships. They will stick to it for three days, just for fear of...

"at the end of the day, I will ask for your permission!"

A loud voice resounded from the hall. Zhang jaw heard the voice and saw that the person who could speak was not someone else. It was Li Yan. Li Yan's face was solemn and his shoulders were as flat as a mountain.

"Good!"

"Li Yan, listen to the order!"

"The end will be there!"

"You are ordered to hold on to the cultivation of Yang for three days without any mistake."
