Chapter 212 Writing a Letter

Using the complex and tortuous terrain of the Xiangshui River in the Hengshan section to achieve the purpose of dividing the powerful Jingzhou water army, Liu Zong led the water army to attack its front army, and Liu Jing himself ambushed his infantry on both sides of the Xiangshui River to attack the central army.

However, due to the complex terrain, the rear army of the Jingzhou Navy could only watch the front army and the middle army fall into separate battles, but it was difficult to provide assistance.

It can weaken the Jingzhou navy to the greatest extent, making it difficult for them to take advantage of the number of warships. In this way, their chances of winning will be greatly increased.

This is the way Liu Jing came up with when he learned of the intention of the Jingzhou navy to go south.

In fact, this idea did not come up recently. As early as two years ago, when he passed the Xiangshui River in the Hengshan section by boat, he felt that the geographical location of this place was excellent, which was very suitable for ambush opponents.

The imaginary enemy in his heart is naturally Liu Biaojun.He regards Jingnan as his forbidden area, so it can be said that he is determined to win, and he will have a battle with Liu Biao sooner or later, so he must plan ahead.

"Okay!" Liu Zong couldn't help applauding loudly after hearing this, and then laughed loudly: "Zhongda, your strategy is wonderful. If this battle goes well, you may have a chance to severely damage the Jingzhou navy, or even defeat its predecessors. Army, forcing Cai Mao to give up his intention to go south."

Liu Xiu nodded in agreement, and said, "Indeed, we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend here, almost making us invincible. Setting the battlefield here is far better than setting it in Ling County."

Seriousness is naturally very much in favor of it, he is the last person who does not want to lead the flames of war to Ling County, destruction is always easier than construction.It took him and Liu Jing two full years to turn Ling County from chaos to order. It would be a pity if it was destroyed by the flames of war.

Cai Sheng's eyes were eager to try, and he said loudly: "Since the Jingzhou army went south, the waterways have advanced side by side, and all battles have been won. I am from Changsha, and I can only survive by defending Linxiang City. People in Jiangbei must think that I am in Changsha. People, every time they think about this, they feel unhappy. This time, it is an excellent opportunity, we must let the people of Jiangbei know how powerful we are, and Changsha has its own heroes, which cannot be ignored."

Ma Zhou clapped his hands and smiled, "Hong Chao's words are in line with my heart. Liu Jingsheng intends to unify Jingzhou, and everyone will pay attention to it. If we can defeat Cai Mao this time, we will immediately become famous and known to the world."

Cai Sheng laughed and said: "Zijin is so famous, I'm afraid I've been thinking about this day in my dreams?"

Not to be outdone, Ma Zhou countered, "Don't you want Hong Chao?"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Liu Jing didn't show any color on his face, and said solemnly: "Don't underestimate the enemy, even though we have a geographical advantage, we can only recover some disadvantages, not to mention that we have much advantage.

Since ancient times, forming an array with the back of the water has been taboo in the art of war, but the Marquis of Huaiyin was able to do the opposite and defeat the enemy.It can be seen from this that geographical advantage is important, but people are more important.

The Jingzhou navy has towering boats, complete equipment, and elite soldiers. Even if they are ambushed by us, they will fight bravely. It is not yet known who will win the battle. "

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, all the generals fell silent for a while, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

Liu Zong looked left and right, and saw that no one spoke, so he said, "Zhongda is right. I have not achieved anything so far. How can I underestimate the Jingzhou navy. Besides, the Jingzhou navy is backed by Jingbei. The county has a big family and a big business, even if it is defeated in this battle, there will be a comeback day. But we can't afford to lose, once we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Cai Sheng said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I know this well."

Ma Zhou also nodded and said, "That's right, we will never underestimate the enemy."

Seeing that everyone paid enough attention, Liu Jing stopped talking and said instead: "The date of Cai Mao's trip to the south, if nothing unexpected happens, will be in February, and there is still half a month left for us. During this period, you should reorganize your troops as soon as possible and prepare for the battle."

"No." All the generals responded in unison.

Liu Jing turned his gaze to seriousness, and said, "Bo Mu, I will leave the military supplies and provisions needed for this battle to you."

"Yes." Nodding seriously, logistics is the most important thing in war, and soldiers can concentrate on responding to the enemy without any worries.

Before the meeting adjourned, Liu Jing finally asked: "You'd better not tell the soldiers about this, so as not to leak the news."

All the generals said "No" in unison again, and then withdrew and sat down one after another.

Wearing a martial crown and heavy clothes, Cai Sheng stepped out the door, subconsciously looking up at the gloomy sky.Then he turned his head to look at Ma Zhou who was standing side by side, and said, "Zijin, before we know it, we have joined the army for almost three years."

Ma Zhou was slightly taken aback, nodded and said, "Yes, time flies so fast." When the two first met in Linxiang City, they were only in the weaker years, and joined the army the next year, and now they are in their twenties.

Cai Sheng recalled the past, shook his head with a smile and said: "At that time, you and I had great ambitions and relied on martial arts, but in fact we were just illiterate people."

Ma Zhou also said with a smile: "I remember, at first we were quite dissatisfied with elder brother (Liu Xiu), but now that we think about it, we feel quite ashamed."

Cai Sheng sighed: "Zijin, in the past few years, we have been busy camping during the day and studying at night, working harder than anyone else, just to live up to our ambitions and hope that we can achieve something in the future."

Ma Zhou knew what Cai Sheng was thinking, and said with a smile, "Now is the opportunity."

"Yes, the opportunity has come." Cai Sheng stared at the sky and murmured.

After the generals retired, Liu Jing took out the Leiyang paper, spread it on the case, and began to write letters. The first letter was written to Liu Zhu. Since the two had been in correspondence almost every two or three days before, recently it was even more so. One letter per day, so I don't have much ink.

The second letter was written to Shan Riyi. Since he was able to return to Mount Heng with Liu Jing's great help, he wiped out six enemy villages in a row and avenged his past for destroying the villages and families.

Since then, Dan Ridou has been soft or hard internally, annexing the surrounding villages, and conducting business with Liu Jing externally, exchanging needs. However, in just over a year, his power has expanded greatly, and he has become the strongest in the surrounding area. big power.

Today, the number of troops that can be mobilized by oneself alone exceeds 2000 in a single day. If the alliance is included, it may reach four to five thousand.For Jing Man who lived in a stronghold, such a force was already very impressive.

Liu Jing wrote to Shan Rideng, naturally wanting him to send troops to help.This was also one of the reasons why he was willing to help Shan Ridou who was alone and lonely in the first place, hoping that in the future, Shan Ridn would be able to help him in turn.

After all, he has scruples about the Jingzhou Navy. In order to increase his chances of winning, he doesn't mind suppressing all the chips in his hand.
