Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 710
Fancheng is still some distance away from Xiangyang City. It can be used as a transfer of food and grass in the rear, but if it wants to be used as the headquarters of the army, it is a bit far away. The transmission of military orders is troublesome and delays the battle.

On the contrary, Deng County is far and near suitable.

It is not far from Xiangyang, nor is it very close. There is enough space on the battlefield, and the military orders can be passed on quickly.

Taking Deng County as the command center, the Mu Army extended towards the surrounding area, facing Xiangyang City in front, forming a semi-arc camp, and the huge camp was formed by connecting camps one by one.

The main force of Jingping's First Army entered Deng County after it was breached.

The First Army is in the north, and the Violent Bear Army is in the south.

The Hanshui River Road in the middle is naturally the battlefield of Jingping's Second Army.

With the three roads advancing together, Pioneer has entered the suburb of Xiangyang City, fifty miles away.

The army did not move, and the scouts fought first.

The scouts are the eyes and ears of the two armies. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Therefore, before the war broke out, the scouts from both sides had already started fighting, in the mountains, on the paths, in the rivers and reeds...

The blood began to spread, and Xiangyang was surrounded by a terrifying atmosphere for hundreds of miles.

People in cities and towns on the outskirts of Xiangyang fled one after another.

There are dozens of miles of uninhabited people, and there is only a battlefield left.

Deng County, northern suburbs, Xishan.

This is the highest mountain in Deng County, and it is now the headquarters of the Mu Army.

The Mu army has never camped in the city. This is a rule. Mu Jing personally set the rules. The generals are not allowed to enter the city unless necessary. It's the same even in Jingzhou.

Xishan is not big and not dangerous, but the terrain on the mountain is flat, and there are mountain springs with sufficient water sources, which is very suitable for camping.

The generals of the herding army built a camp on the mountain in a few days, and the camp flags were flying, and observation towers were built at the four corners, from which they could vaguely look down on the movement of the battlefield with a radius of tens of miles.

"Yiling moved?"

After Mu Jing dealt with some memorials from Hanzhong, he began to pay attention to the movement of the battlefield. He personally looked at the map and began to inspect the current layout, but Jing Wusi suddenly sent a memorial.

This is the news from Yiling.

"My lord, can the Yizhou army defeat Yiling?" Huang Zhong also read the memorial, feeling a little worried: "If they fail to attack, it will hurt our morale instead, which will inevitably lead to a surge in Jingzhou's morale!"

He was afraid that the south would not be able to hold on, and the battlefield in the north of Nanjun would be affected.

"Whether it is possible or not is still unknown!"

Mu Jing gently flipped through the notebook, and after a while, he said: "But Zhang Ren is not a reckless person, he started the war in a hurry without waiting for Liu Yan to arrive, he must have a certain degree of self-confidence and a plan that we don't know about!"

"What conspiracy?"

Huang Zhong frowned.

Mujing spread out the map of Jingzhou on the desk, pointed to the waterways of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, looked at the surrounding terrain, pondered for a while, and said: "The news said that the Yizhou army stormed Yiling, it must be an unwise move, but If it is to cover their strategic intentions, it is a battle that can be seen!"

"The question is what is the goal of the Yizhou Army?"

Huang Zhong asked.

"It should be Xiaoting!"

At this time, a scribe from outside the camp opened the door curtain and walked in. Before saluting, he interrupted according to Huang Zhong's question.

After finishing speaking, he saluted: "Chen Gong, general of the Northern Martial Hall, pay my respects to the lord!"

"The public platform is here!"

Mu Jing raised his head and looked at the scribe, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai.

When he was in Zhongmu, he assisted Cao Cao to escape from Guanzhong, and then he had a moral disagreement with Cao Cao, and was finally captured by Mujing, who was locked up for a long time without letting him surrender.

But then things changed.

He could have run away, but he went south with the Mu army.

After going south, he didn't have any intention of becoming an official, so Mu Jing went with him, after all, twisted melons are not sweet.

Later, it was Hu Zhao who seemed to have his eyes on him.

He was recruited to do things by his side, and he responded.

But also not brilliant.

It seems that there is no such a person in the Minghou Mansion, and even Mu Jing has more or less forgotten the existence of this counselor who left his name in history.

But gold always shines.

I don't know what caused Chen Gong to suddenly change his mentality. He began to show his talent. With his ability, he would not lose to any strategist. Whether it is knowledge or wisdom, he is top-notch.

Last year, he began to exert his strength. From the little clerk next to Hu Zhao, he raised his voice step by step. Before he knew it, he was actually promoted to be a general of the Beiwu Hall. Xi Zhicai and Hu Zhao affirmed his ability.

The post of general is actually a new one.

It was specially established for the Beiwu Hall. Under the head of the Beiwu Hall, there are several generals. Xi Zhicai is the head of the Beiwu Hall, and Huang Zhong, Huang Shao and others are just the generals of the Beiwu Hall.

Every participating general needs a military strategy.

"So it's General Chen!"

Huang Zhong looked at Chen Gong's eyes slightly brightened: "My lord said before that there would be a military adviser coming, and I was still worried about who it is, who can plan the entire battle situation in Jingzhou!"

He is no stranger to Chen Gong.

Last year he was originally in Hanzhong, in the Beiwutang, how many people in the Beiwutang, and who has how much ability, he knew very well in his heart.

Can make the military justice department look good.

He is also thanks to Chen Gong's assistance, if Chen Gong hadn't advised him, even if he has the deterrent power, it would be quite difficult to infiltrate the influence of the Military Justice Department into every army.

But in just over a year, the name of the Military Judiciary Department has been well known in the army.

There is a credit for Chen Gong.

"General Huang!"

Chen Gong bowed for the second time.

"Gongtai, did you just say that the Yizhou army was going to attack Xiaoting?"

Mu Jing's attention returned to the intention of the Yizhou Army, and asked following the sound.

"My lord, looking at the mobilization of the main force in Yizhou, there are two possibilities for them to attack Yiling like this. Either they will fight desperately and take Yiling at any cost, or they have other plans!"

Chen Gong said to the map on the table of the Mujing case: "I don't think the Yizhou generals can't see the casualties of attacking Yiling, and they can't exchange casualties for Yiling, so I think they must have other plans. !"

"What are you drawing?"

"Whether it's Yishan in the north or Yidao in the south, neither is enough to trap Yiling!"

"Only Xiaoting!"

"This is the rear of Yiling. Once this area is breached, Yiling will be in a situation of fighting alone, which is equivalent to being besieged!"

"So I think the goal of the Yizhou army should be to attack Xiaoting!"

Chen Gong finished his analysis in one breath.

"Makes sense!"

The corner of Mu Jing's mouth raised a slight playful arc, and he said softly: "If they can successfully attack and take down Xiaoting, it will be a good thing for us, and it would be best to attract some of Jingzhou's main force to go south!"

"I don't think it's that simple!"

Chen Gong shook his head.

"You don't like them!"

"No!" Chen Gong said, "I'm very optimistic about Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren is definitely the number one general in Yizhou. In terms of military strategy and bravery, he is not superior to the generals of our Mu army. If he plots against Xiaoting, he will definitely have a chance." possible!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"They just underestimated the Jingzhou army, and they forgot one thing!" Chen Gong said: "This is Jingzhou. If it is about the terrain, none of us can compare with the people of Jingzhou. The importance of Xiaoting to Yiling is beyond my control. I don’t believe that the generals of Jingzhou couldn’t see it. Also, where is Maicheng behind Xiaoting? Let's make an effort, how will the Yizhou army, which is deeply in the depths, deal with themselves?"

"After Gongtai said that, I'm worried about the Yizhou Army!"

Mu Jing quickly looked at the map, after Xiaoting, it happened to be Maicheng, this Maicheng was naturally the Maicheng that Guan Gong lost in history, but now for the war between Jingzhou and Yizhou, this location is secret and has a miraculous effect use.

"My lord, it's useless to worry!"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Let them fight this battle by themselves. We fight us. Xiangyang is the main battlefield. Instead of worrying about them, we might as well worry about it. Liu Biao can afford to lose Yiling, but he can't afford to lose it." Xiangyang, his main force must be in Xiangyang City!"

"That's natural!"

Pastoral nod.

He was worried about the Yizhou army, not about their casualties. The more casualties the better, it could weaken the main force of Yizhou. What he was worried about was that his strategic intentions had not yet exploded, and Yizhou would lose the chain instead.

However, it is better to let this matter erupt between them, and Mu Jun still focused on the battlefield in Xiangyang.

In this battle, Mu Jun is the main force.
