Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 737

In May, the weather began to become warmer and warmer. After all, Jingzhou is in the south, and summer started early. By this time, it was already past early summer, and we entered the climate where the scorching sun was burning and scorching the earth.

Since Mu Jing went to Longzhong, he has become very peaceful, staying at home, hiding in the Xishan camp to deal with military affairs and some government documents sent from Hanzhong.

It's not that he doesn't want to go out.

The problem is that there are now two main battalions at the gate of the camp, and it is guaranteed that even the Modao battalion will not be able to rush out.

These bastards guarded him like thieves.

He had no choice but to be a little self-aware and settle down for a while.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain these days!"

Zhuge Xuan looked at the sky and said in a deep voice.

"Sure?"

Looking at the sunny sky, Mu Jing felt a little skeptical.

However, he still believes in Zhuge Xuan, a walking observatory. After all, in this era, there are actually not many people who study the weather, and Zhuge Xuan is one of the best. He does have the talent in this area.

"You can't believe it!"

With a stinky face, Zhuge Xuan buried his head and started writing official documents again.

Zhuge Liang and the two young girls from Zhuge's family, together with Zhuge Jun, had been escorted to Hanzhong. Mujing couldn't do child labor. Even if Zhuge Liang was smart, he was still a child.

Mujing won't do things that backfire. He has to give Zhuge Liang enough time to grow. Only with more knowledge can Zhuge Liang's vision be broadened.

Now he can't write Longzhong pair.

The current him is not the omnipotent Prime Minister Zhuge either.

But Zhuge Liang left, Zhuge Xuan stayed.

Not only did he take the initiative to stay, but he also took the initiative to ask for an official career. Mu Jing let him serve as Huo Yu's deputy, becoming one of the main clerks and one of the secretary clerks around him.

Mu Jing also once asked him why he chose to stay because he hated the Mu family so much and rejected the Minghou Mansion. He could choose to leave, which was one of the promises he made with Zhuge Liang.

His answers were also succinct.

Because of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang chose to stay, so he has to stay. If Zhuge Liang wants to become an official in the future, he will first become an official to lay a solid foundation for this nephew in the Minghou Mansion. Growing up, Zhuge Jin's whereabouts are unknown now, and life and death are uncertain. He has already placed the last hope of the Zhuge family on Zhuge Liang.

This is a man who can sacrifice for the family.

It is precisely because of his sacrifice in history that the achievements of the three Zhuge brothers have been created.

"When will it start raining at the latest?" Mu Jing asked.

"Not sure!" Zhuge Xuan shook his head. He did study astronomy, but the weather was unpredictable. Five times out of ten, it was difficult for him to figure out the changes in the weather. He could only have a rough guess.

He thought for a while and said, "According to the current weather, it may start to rain at night, but if the wind direction is not right, it may be postponed for a few days!"

"Call Zhang Liao!"

Mu Jing said suddenly.

"promise!"

A messenger quickly delivered the order.

Zhang Liao came in a hurry: "The last general Zhang Liao, pay homage to the lord!"

"In the past two days, you have suffered a lot on the river!"

Mu Jing said softly.

The Mujun Marine Division is indeed a shortcoming. Even if they relied on the Tanxi battle before and gained some fame, in comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangxia Marine Division is still far superior.

In the past few days, the Jiang Xia navy took the initiative to fight against Jingping's second army.

Jingping's second army retreated steadily.

In the waters around the Xiangyang section of the Han River, the Jingping Second Army has less than one-third of the water villages left.

"Ok!"

Zhang Liao nodded: "Before we made a surprise attack and hit a positive attack, we underestimated their strength. Jiang Xia's navy took the initiative to attack. It is true that our warships cannot stop them, and our warships have suffered too much damage. The combat power is not enough. !"

"Zhuge said it's raining these days!"

Mu Jing got straight to the point: "Do you want to fight back!"

"miss you!"

Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly brightened, but soon dimmed: "But my lord, the strength of our Jingping Second Army can't compete with them head-on. No warship breaks through the blockade of the river, and the land battle will bind hands and feet!"

"The reason why they took the initiative to attack is this kind of idea!"

"In their view, as long as our navy is knocked down, we won't be able to attack Xiangyang City at all!"

Zhang Liao suppressed his temper, but he didn't want to wipe out the navy.

Otherwise, just because Jiang Xia's navy is so rampant, he has already taken the initiative to attack. The naval capabilities of the Jingping Second Army are indeed inferior, but the battle of Tanxi has proved that this battle is not a battle that cannot be fought.

"Don't worry!"

Mujing gave him an answer, and said, "Hanzhong Shipyard has already confirmed that it can deliver twelve warships and eighty warships before July. You won't be too afraid, fighting with the same momentum, if you retreat, Deng County may not be able to survive, and Fancheng will be in danger, understand!"

"Understood!"

"I won't worry about how to fight, you and Chen Gongtai discuss it!"

Mujing himself is not a master of strategy, he will not point fingers at things he doesn't understand, and some things have to be handled by professionals.

"promise!"

Zhang Liao went to discuss with Chen Gongtai excitedly.

"If you're like this, you won't be afraid of causing Xiangyang's early backlash!" Zhuge Xuan didn't want to pay attention to these strategic deployments at first, but seeing the confidence on Mu Jing's face, he couldn't help but said: "Your strategic deployment has to wait until the south." It will only be launched when the news comes back, but once it is ahead of schedule, Xiangyang will definitely make an all-out attack, and whether we send troops or not, it will be a mistake!"

"Do you know Liu Biao?" Mu Jing asked back.

"Do not really understand!"

Zhuge Xuan thought for a while, and said: "I haven't been in Xiangyang for a long time. I only met Liu Biao a few times. I got the rest from his mouth. I heard that this person is brave and resourceful. He lives alone. Entering Yicheng, persuading the Jingzhou gentry, and thus becoming the governor of Jingzhou in one fell swoop, must have extraordinary courage!"

"You are wrong. I have never underestimated Liu Jingsheng's ability. Liu Jingsheng is rare in the world, whether it is literary talent or city government. He can handle government affairs or military affairs very well. He has won the hearts and support of the people. I don't even deny it!"

Mu Jing said softly: "I underestimate him precisely because of his courage!"

"Liu Jingsheng, he can do a good job of defending, and he will hesitate to take the initiative to attack. The one time in his life, he may have the courage to surrender himself sideways and win the approval of Jingzhou nobles. But at that time, he didn't know anything. No, he only has one face and one name, so he dares to bet!"

"Now, he doesn't dare to gamble anymore, because he owns the entire Jingzhou, and his ambition is limited to Jingzhou!"

"This is also the reason why I will choose a tough offense instead of too much defense!"

"To put it bluntly, if Liu Jingsheng had the courage to risk his life, we would have already died on Daqi Mountain!"

Mu Jing can see through Liu Biao not only because of his current behavior and performance, but more because of the evaluation given to him by history.

"You seem to be right!"

Hearing Mujing's words, Zhuge Xuan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Zhongheng, is there any news about Zhicai's return?" Mu Jingmieli paid attention to Zhuge Xuan's psychological changes, looked at Huo Yu, and asked suddenly.

It's already May, and it's been half a month.

Xi Zhicai has no news at all.

It doesn't quite match his performance.

"no!"

Huo Yu shook his head: "Not only does he have no news, Jing Wusi's eyeliner in the south can't even keep an eye on the Yizhou Army, and there is less and less news about the Yizhou Army!"

"It seems that there is a big move!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

............................................................................................................

The starry sky is dark and night is shrouded.

On the waterway of the Yangtze River, there is no light, not to mention the moonlight, even the stars are gone, and the only thing that can be heard is the sound of rowing boats in the water.

"Are you all ready?"

In the darkness, a low voice asked.

"Report to the general, we are all ready!"

The four captains answered.

"At the same time, start to move at midnight, attack quickly, and evacuate quickly!"

In the darkness, it was Zhang Ren who spoke. As the general of the Yizhou Army, Zhang Ren was not in the camp at this moment. Instead, he led the main force of the four battalions. Not far from the water village in Yiling City.
