Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 771

The news that Mu Jun went south from Xiangyang also quickly spread to the Jingzhou battlefield.

"Mulongtu really went south?"

In the Yizhou military camp, Liu Yan looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief.

"It's indeed going south!"

Zhao Wei was in charge of the overall planning of the scouts. He stood up, cupped his hands and said to Liu Yan, "The scouts had news a few days ago, but we can't be sure, but in the past few days, our scouts in the north have been in the north. I have seen with my own eyes that Minghou Mujing has led the main force of the Mu army to arrive, about 1 soldiers, hastened to the south, and they have already passed Yicheng, and they can reach Jingzhou City in three days or five days!"

"it is good!"

Liu Yan laughed.

"My lord, the Marquis of Ming tried his best to take down Xiangyang. The Mu army must have suffered many casualties, but he left Xiangyang alone and sent troops to the south at the risk of risk. This is very strange. We still need to be careful. ah!"

Zhang Ren suddenly stood up and raised an objection.

He has always had great doubts about Xi Zhicai and Mu Longtu, the pair of master ministers.

It's just that Xi Zhicai's work is too high and airtight. Even if he has doubts, he can't find any words to refute this person's actions. A situation that cannot be opened, and solid achievements, make it impossible for people to doubt him.

But Zhang Ren never let go of his doubts.

After all, Zhang Renda didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart. Minghou Mujing had established his own government, and he was sitting on one hundred thousand lions. He was in charge of one side of the land. He had a name and strength. He was a real prince.

They don't need to rely on Liu Yan to survive.

And they took refuge in Yizhou, even if Liu Yan trusted them, they were just generals of one side, so what's the use.

Rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

This is what most people think.

He didn't believe that Mu Jing would choose to give up Hanzhong and come to Yizhou to be a small general.

"There is a need for caution, but I don't think we need to do much!"

Yan Yan opened his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "It is a good thing for us that the Mu army goes south. In this way, we will be more confident in attacking Jingzhou City, so we can't let Marquis Ming feel cold!"

"Prefect Yan is right!"

Liu Yan analyzed it in his mind, then nodded, and then said softly: "Don't talk about his Mulongtu's thoughts, he led his troops to the south in response to my military order, and he is willing to bow his head and become a minister, which is a good thing!"

The Mu army won successive victories. Although their strength was small, they took the lead in opening up the situation in the north. This opened up a gap for him to fight in Jingzhou.

Now that Mu Jing can go south in person, no matter what his purpose is, it is good news for him to attack Jingzhou City.

"Pang Xi!"

"exist!"

Pang Xi stood up.

"You lead [-] troops, and head north to meet the Marquis of Ming for a certain family!" Liu Yan thought for a while before saying that he had to give Mu Jing enough face, and he also wanted to give Mu Jing a try when he went. The purpose of the scenery, so sending troops north to meet, is the best way.

"promise!"

Pang Xi understood Liu Yan's thoughts immediately, and accepted the order.

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

In the city of Jingzhou.

"General Zhang, the Mu army has already gone south!" Cai Mao has been unable to sleep or eat well these days. What he is worried about day and night is not the situation in Jingzhou City, but the situation in Xiangyang City. His Cai family is in Xiangyang, Xiangyang Changing ownership, he was naturally very worried. He repeatedly sent people to the north to inquire about the news. He didn't get much information about Xiangyang, but he didn't expect to get a piece of news about the battle situation in Jingzhou.

"Governor, is the news true?"

Zhang Yun also had a gloomy face and asked in a low voice.

"pretty close!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said, "This time Mu Longtu will personally lead the troops south!"

"Then we are in danger to the north!"

Zhang Yun clenched his fists tightly, with blue veins on the back of his hands, and said: "In the past, we could let go of the defense to the north, but now I'm afraid we have to increase our troops to the north, otherwise the situation in Jingzhou City will open the gap from the north first!"

"But now our troops are under great pressure to deal with the Yizhou Army!"

Cai Mao stood up and paced back and forth: "Once we divide our troops to the north, we will inevitably face a dangerous situation overall. If they exert their strength and attack despite casualties, then we will not be able to defend Jingzhou City!"

"It is necessary to find a way to suppress the Mu army in the north!"

Zhang Yun nodded and said.

He asked: "Have you figured out the strength of the Mu army?"

"The news says there are only about [-] soldiers and horses?"

"Ten thousand?" Zhang Yun was a little surprised: "With such a force, he dares to enter the battle of Jingzhou City?"

"Don't underestimate Mu Jun!"

Zhang Yun said: "Xiangyang is impenetrable. Our main force in Jingzhou is twice as large as that of the Mu army, but we are still defeated. The main force of the Mu army is only [-] to [-], and we have already defeated our Xiangyang city. We must guard against it!"

"Mu Jun is so powerful in combat?" Zhang Yun had never fought against Mu Jun, which made him frown a little.

Cai Mao spread out a map and looked carefully: "I've thought about it, if you want to stop the Mu army from going south, there is only one place, here!"

"Changbanpo?"

Zhang Yun's eyes brightened slightly.

"Instead of waiting for them to besiege us, it's better to strike first!" Cai Mao's expression became resolute: "If we can attack and defeat the Mu army, maybe we can still defend Jingzhou City!"

"But there are not a few troops that have been mobilized, I'm afraid they won't be able to hide it from the other side!"

"The general situation is!"

Cai Mao raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside: "But if it's raining, and then we use the rainwater to transport troops from the river with warships, can we cross the sea without the sky and make it in one blow!"

"good idea!"

Zhang Yun stood up suddenly, and his fighting spirit became fierce.

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

A light rain suddenly fell, making Mu Jun's march suddenly difficult.

"My lord, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, we have to find a way to camp!"

When Chen reined in his horse and returned, he said to Mujing.

Mu Jing looked back, the soldiers were marching in the mud, very tired, and the wooden carts of the supply battalion behind were sunk in the quagmire by the axles, and could not be pulled out at all.

"What's ahead?" He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

"Dangyang!"

"Dangyang?"

Mu Jing beckoned, and the two guards took out the map inside the bamboo tube. He looked at it carefully, and then said: "The distance from Jingzhou City is getting farther and farther away. The Jingzhou Army must have something like Dangyang City. We I'm afraid I don't know, if I enter the city rashly, if I am caught, we will be in danger in our current situation!"

After a long-distance raid, the soldiers and horses are exhausted. If you encounter the enemy at this time, it will be a super big trouble. Even if you win, it will be too self-inflicted and uneconomical.

"We camp here to rest!"

Mujing pondered for a long time, drew a dot on the map, and said, "Wait until the rain stops before marching south!"

"Changbanpo?"

Both Huang Zhong and Chen Dao saw the place name.

"This place is both offensive and defensive!"

Huang Zhong looked at the map, and after a while, he said: "But be careful, after all, there are waterways near here, and the waterways must be on guard. We can attack the city with waterways, and Jingzhou is better at fighting with water. They can also come from The waterways hit us!"

"Since the lord and General Huang both think this place is suitable for camping and resting, then I will lead the vanguard soldiers to inquire first!"

Chen Dao reined in his horse, turned around, and headed towards Changbanpo with more than a hundred scouts.
