Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 88 Defending Jingzhou Strategy
When Zhao Lei, the governor of Guan Yu's tent, led Guan Yu and Liu Feng's main infantry, the battle was over.

Zhao Lei hurriedly marched over, intending to make a final decision, and found that the main force he led had become the main force to clean the battlefield...

After planning for a long time, he finally achieved the first phase of victory. He fought almost continuously and was highly nervous. At this time, Liu Chanfang had a short rest time.

However, this time will not be too long.

Lu Xun left food and grass for the besieging troops for about ten days, and Sun Quan's follow-up main force is estimated to arrive in five or six days soon.

At this time Liu Feng rode his horse and came to Liu Chan, and the two were relatively silent for a while.

Liu Feng was the first to get off his horse, but he knelt down on one knee and offered a great gift: "My subject, Liu Feng...has seen the prince. The general rescue came late, please forgive me, the prince!"

As soon as the words came out, Liu Feng seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, the way forward was set, and there was no more confusion in his heart.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Feng, who had always been rebellious and strong in the past, in surprise, his eyes gradually became gentle, and the sharpness and contempt in the past disappeared.

Hearing this, Liu Chan naturally understood Liu Feng's heart. He hurriedly got off his horse, grabbed Liu Feng's arms and pulled him up, smiling, "Brother! From now on, you and I will work together to fight against the thieves and help the Han Dynasty. , share weal and woe!"

Liu Feng looked at Liu Chan with a little surprise. He was prepared to hear ridicule and sarcasm, but he didn't expect to hear such words.

"Gongsi, oh Gongsi, you can always exceed my expectations at any time."

Liu Feng's lips trembled, and finally he gave a relieved smile: "Okay!"

[Liu Feng favorability +10, +10, +10, +10]

【刘封好感度40，体质+5，长兵天赋+5×2，剑术天赋+8×2】

【…】

【Current Favorability 50】

……

When Liu Chan, Guan Yu, and Liu Feng returned to Jiangling, the city defenders were in a state of flux, and many crises were resolved, which gave them great confidence.

It's just that Guan Yu still feels complicated when he looks at the new city he built, which is now full of devastation and corpses.

Moreover, the public security has now fallen into the hands of Soochow.

Seeing Guan Yu's lonely expression, Liu Chan naturally knew what he was thinking, but he had to stabilize the morale of the army first.

After the Jingzhou army entered Jiangling, they found that the new city had been burned down, and their family members were nowhere to be seen.

Now Second Uncle Guan still has more than ten thousand elite soldiers in his hands. He was short of food and grass and suffered a defeat, and those who survived to this day are all elite soldiers.

In addition to the [-] new troops brought by Liu Feng, his nearly [-] relatives, and the more than [-] defenders in Jingzhou, even if the [-] soldiers who had just surrendered were not counted, they could still gather nearly [-] troops.

As long as the military spirit is not lost, there is still a lot to do!
Liu Chan immediately arranged for someone to explain the situation to the Jingzhou Army, and learned that the family members had withdrawn ahead of schedule, and the Jingzhou soldiers were temporarily relieved.

Afterwards, he ordered people to start a pot to make food, ordering the whole army to have a good rest after a full meal, and to recharge their batteries.

The Jingzhou soldiers who hadn't had a full meal for a long time were overjoyed. So far, the soldiers who had been running around for a long time and felt restless finally stabilized their morale and emotions.

The Prince's army led by Li Er and others had only a few dozen minor injuries, most of them were shot by arrows.

Thanks to the 100% armor rate, they only suffered skin trauma.

Wearing armor can't make you invulnerable, but it can make a fatal injury into a serious injury, and a serious injury into a minor injury.

It's just that although they were fine, Shen Zhong and others who stayed behind in Jiangling...

"Those who didn't come to gather...are all killed?" Liu Chan looked at the 167 people in front of him with a low voice.

Shen Zhongdao: "Except for Wang Meng's disappearance, the rest... are all dead."

"..."

Liu Chan was speechless for a moment.

There is no one who is immortal in a war, and he has long been aware of this.

But when those figures who were laughing and playing in front of you not long ago disappeared, the feeling was still uncomfortable.

"How did you die?"

Shen Zhong replied: "Gongsi still remembers Fan Hu?"

Liu Chan nodded. He remembered all these people. Fan Hu had been with him for more than two years. He was still a little shy when he asked him to talk about his wish when he came to Jiangling last time.

"That guy thinks that the planned plan to ignite the buildings in the south city with rockets is not safe. The range of arrows fired at the north city gate is limited, and the Wu army will evacuate as soon as they see it. So he proposed to leave a group of people to hide in the houses near the three gates of the south city. directly on fire.

"Then hide the cart full of hay in the house in advance, and when the fire starts, push it to the city gates in three ways, and completely suffocate Wu Jun in the southern city!" Shen Zhong took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, " I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed."

Liu Chan didn't speak.

Of course it's a good way, can't it?The people left behind will die and have no life, this is all in exchange for their lives!
"The prince's army who stayed behind in Jiangling, even though they didn't fight the enemy with the heir, they were not cowards. At that time, everyone volunteered to stay in Nancheng, and they were so blushing. Fan Hu almost fought with that kid Qi Jian There was a fight..." Shen Zhong smiled when he remembered the situation that day, but his eyes were red.

Qi Jian, who just joined last year, should be only 15 years old now.

"After deliberation, I finally selected a group of people who already had children to set fire to the southern city... Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"

Liu Chan was silent for a long time, and let out a foul breath: "Can their bodies be found?"

Shen Zhong shook his head, and finally couldn't help wiping his eyes: "All of them have been burnt beyond recognition, mixed with Wu Jun's corpse, it's impossible to tell them apart."

"Write down their names one by one, and return them to me. Be sure not to miss anyone."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan turned around and left, but the hand behind his back was already clenched with blue veins...

……

After calming the minds of the army and counting the trophies and battle damage, Liu Chan immediately held the first high-level military meeting for the Jingzhou battle.

Guan Yu, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Zhao Lei and other senior officers, including Jingzhou garrison Hou Wangzuo, were all present.

Guan Yu looked ashamed and spoke first.

"Ai! I regret not listening to what Adou said back then, so what happened today." Guan Yu's words were full of pain, "Now that the police have been lost, Yu is ashamed of trusting his brother! He also brought everyone into danger..."

Liu Chan interrupted: "Second Uncle, the army is still there, and the spirit of the army is available. Mi Shijun sacrificed heroically, in exchange for Lu Meng's army being wiped out in ashes. We have a lot to do now, why did Second Uncle say such dejected words?"

Guan Yu's heart was shocked, that's right, I didn't expect that Mi Fang would do so many inappropriate things on weekdays, but he would sacrifice his life for righteousness at a critical moment.

It was wrong to see him before.

Zhao Lei also said: "Yes, General, our army is still here, what are the Jiangdong rats afraid of? His Sun Quan sent troops from the Eastern Wu to attack, and we rely on Jiangling, so we can also stand in the way!"

Guan Yu sighed, nodded and said, "For the sake of today's plan, this is the best we can do. Our army defends Jiangling to the death, and we will definitely make that blue-eyed thief return home!"

"Correct!"

"Defend Jiangling!"

Liu Chan said at this time: "No."

Ok?
Everyone looked at Liu Chan suspiciously, not knowing what the crown prince meant.

Guan Yu said, "Adou, why not?"

Liu Chan didn't give a shit, and cut straight to the point: "Jiangling must be guarded, but the whole army can't defend it. First, there is not enough food and grass in Jiangling city. Including the newly captured Wu army's food and grass, how many days is enough for our army?
"A [-]-strong army consumes at least three or four hundred stones of food every day. How long can I wait? One month? Two months? What should I do when the food is exhausted? Is it necessary to divide the food and go to the flesh and blood of the same robe first?" ?”

Everyone was silent, and Liu Chan's words brought back the most painful memory in their hearts.

Zhao Lei hesitated for a while and said: "But... our army is standing firm and waiting for reinforcements, Sun Quan will definitely be difficult to conquer for a while, just like Hefei and Fancheng..."

Liu Chan shook his head: "Fancheng and Hefei can stick to it and wait for help. One is that there is sufficient food and grass, and the food road behind is unobstructed. The other is that Fancheng is behind Guanzhong. Behind Hefei, there are Yanzhou Army and Yuzhou Army who can send troops to support at any time.

"Now Lu Xun gave up Jiangling and did not attack. Instead, he led the army to go along the west of the river first. It was precisely to attack Yi, Zigui and other places along the river. One would cut off our army's way back, and the other would block the way for the father's reinforcements. In this way, Jiangling is like water without a source, and a tree without roots. May I ask the general, where will our reinforcements come from?"

"This..." Zhao Lei hesitated.

"Soochow's water warfare is not weak, and Lu Xun's leadership is the best of them. If the father's army from Yizhou comes along the waterway, it will be blocked at the entrance of Jingzhou. Sun Quan will have occupied the land first, and our army's strong attack will be protracted and suffer heavy losses.

"If you go through Hanzhong, it will be a long way, and it will be difficult to transport food, and it will be impossible to save it. Our army's food reserves have long been exhausted, and even the reinforcements will be in trouble! By then, the long-distance food transportation will finally restore the people's livelihood in Yizhou. Falling into trouble again. This is a move to shake the fundamentals, and it is absolutely unfeasible."

Everyone was silent after listening.

Guan Yu had just suffered a setback, and he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, but if he was asked to give up Jingzhou, then he would never agree.

"Adou, the second uncle is entrusted by my father, and Jingzhou is also the most important thing to us. If I want to give up, the second uncle is willing to fight to the death with that Soochow..."

"Why did Chan ever say that he would give up Jingzhou?"

Ok?
When Liu Chan said a word, Guan Yu was stunned again. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Chan never said that he planned to give up Jingzhou.

"Then... what's A Dou's plan?"

Everyone turned their expectant eyes to Liu Chan. The crown prince led hundreds of relatives and dared to fight the Wu army twice in Jiangling. He won both battles and captured the enemy alone.
"Those who are good at fighting can control people but not control them. If our army sticks to Lu Xun's wish and the whole army sticks to it, all movements will be as the enemy expects. How can we win?"

This statement is the same in ancient and modern times, and the great man also summed up the same eight-character mantra: "If you hit yours, I will hit mine."

Liu Chan deeply believed that in the current situation, only by mobilizing the enemy's army can there be a chance of victory. Blindly being led by the nose by the enemy will have nothing to do with the reputation of being heroic, and it will be useless in battle.

He spread out the map of Jingzhou, gesticulating with his fingers on it.

"Our army should leave some daredevils to guard Jiangling to stop Sun Quan's rear army. The main force should send troops as soon as possible. The most urgent task is to compete with Lu Xun for Yiling and other places to ensure the smooth flow of waterways entering Jingzhou before the reinforcements from Yizhou and Grain support!
"If this place is lost, Wuling County and Lingling County will also be lost. In the end, Jiangling will fall and Nan County will also be lost. Then will be the day when Jingzhou will truly fall!"

【Maverick Trigger】

All the generals were stunned, and Guan Yu's eyes gradually lit up.

But at this point, Liu Chan remained silent. He just used the term "those who dare to die" because those who stay in Jiangling will die a narrow escape.

In order to ensure the combat power of the main force, Jiangling City left a maximum of 3000 people to defend the city, and they will face Sun Quan's upcoming main force.

All the generals naturally thought of this level.

Zhao Lei suddenly got up and clasped his fists at this time: "General Guan, I think the prince's words are true! The general is willing to guard Jiangling, and I ask General Guan to send troops as soon as possible according to the prince's words!"

"General Zhao..." Guan Yu got up and held Zhao Lei's hand, speechless for a while.

Zhao Lei has been following Guan Yu for many years, now that he is parting, he doesn't know if there will be a day to see him again.

Wang Zuo got up and said: "The last general is the defender of Jiangling. I would like to lead a thousand people from my headquarters to help General Zhao defend the city!"

"Father, I can also guard Jiangling!" Guan Ping said, standing up.

Zhao Lei calmly smiled and said: "Young General, I, Zhao Lei, have some experience in defending the city. Please don't take credit with me, Major General."

Guan Yu has been in charge of the army for many years, and he is not an indecisive person. Now that the plan has been made, he made a decisive decision: "Don't fight any more! Let Zhao Lei and Wang Zuo guard the city. In addition to the [-] guards, I will give two more Elite soldiers, to guard Jiangling!"

"The last general takes the order! Even if you lose your mind, you must protect Jiangling!" The two embraced their fists and accepted the order.

Then Guan Yu once again looked at Liu Chan who had surprised him several times.

"Adou, since the plan has been decided, in your opinion, where should our army go first?"

Liu Chan smiled confidently, but said a direction that puzzled the generals: "Mian Shui."

"……what?"
