() Jingzhou's [-] troops have already pressed Wucheng across the board, and Zhou Yu has also concentrated all the troops in his hands.Wucheng City currently has more than [-] defenders. For this battle, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu have spent all their money.Five Dings draw two, and four or six are taxed.But the so-called recruited half of the men in Jiangdong.

Back then, when Gong Jin faced Cao Cao's 20 troops in the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan only gave Zhou Yu [-] to [-] troops.Jiangdong is far less prosperous now than it was then.In addition, there is no Jiaozhou, Jiujiang and Lujiang two counties.Sun Quan was able to pull out a team of nearly [-]. No matter whether Liu Qi can succeed this time, Jiangdong is over anyway.According to the ancient law of population growth, people usually get married at the thirteenth or fourth.It will take at least ten years for Jiangdong to recover.

Jingzhou Camp.Liu Qi's military account.

"This time, it's a loss for both sides. I thought that if Sun Ce died, Sun Quan would not resist to the death even if he didn't surrender immediately. I didn't expect it." The young man in charge, with a jade face and bright eyes, said with regret.

"My lord, there is no need to worry. As long as Jingzhou is stable, it doesn't matter if Jiangdong is damaged. Now that Zhou Yu's forces are exhausted, the breakthrough of Jiangdong is just around the corner. Unlike Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north, it will take at least five or six years to truly attack the opponent. At this time, Jiangdong can recover some vitality." Zhuge Liang said, waving a paper fan and pointing at Jiangshan.

Liu Qi nodded and said, "That's right, the key battle now is to conquer Wucheng City. Zhou Yu has worked hard for several months, and the battle to siege the city may not be easy."

Another point, as everyone knows, is Zhou Yu's strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness.The purpose is to lengthen Jingzhou's supply line and intensify the consumption of Jingzhou's grain and grass.In the end, Jingzhou was short of food and grass, and would be defeated by Zhou Yu.With the ability of counselors around Liu Qi, he has already seen it.In fact, this plan is a conspiracy, and there is no need to cover it up.

It's just that Zhou Yu may have miscalculated.How could Liu Qi not know that the soldiers and horses went ahead without moving the food and grass.Many wars were lost because of food and grass.The first 30 shi of grain and grass can be used by the army for a hundred days, and then the governor Zhao Lei personally escorted 50 shi of grain and grass.Zhou Yu didn't know this.

With food and grass, Liu Qi dared to make the decision to attack Jiangdong. As for Sun Ce's death, it was only one reason.Liu Qi's actions made Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and other talented people fooled.In fact, they were not fooled, they just guessed Jingzhou's strength according to the previous calculation method.Too bad they were all wrong!

What Liu Qi changed wasn't just Jingzhou's military strength and territory.There is also grain and grass in Jingzhou. The simple modern methods of fertilizing, loosening the soil, weeding, and killing insects are undoubtedly good news for people in ancient times.For the current yield of more than one thousand catties per mu in half a year, doubling the yield of two to three hundred catties in ancient times is not a big gap.But for ancient times, it was a decisive change.

Just imagine, Jingzhou doubled its grain and grass out of thin air in a few years, which brought disastrous news to other princes.With twice as much food and grass, Liu Qi was able to compete with Zhou Yu in Jiangdong after only a few months of recovery after fighting the Battle of Jiaozhou.It will also make Cao Cao less interested, and make Zhou Yu make a fatal mistake.

At this time, Zhou Yu was thinking that the battle situation was developing according to his idea.Sipping the tea, Zhou Yu exhaled, and said: "Jingzhou tea really deserves its reputation. It is said that Liu Qi made people make it according to his suggestion. Hmph. As the lord, he does not seek government affairs, so he spends all day researching tea that satisfies his tongue. Something. The so-called Jingzhou Qilin'er is nothing but a false name."

The loyal young man at the bottom shook his head, picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on it, took a sip, and said, "Liu Qi may not be talented, but there are many talented people below. Kuai Liang of the older generation Brother Kuaiyue, military advisor Jia Xu are all national scholars! The young Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang are all as good as you and me. Liu Qi is famous for knowing people and doing things well!"

Listening to Lu Su coming to Liu Qi's counselors one by one, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, feeling some pressure.Shaking his head, with a heroic appearance, Zhou Yu was even more excited. It was a joy in Cai's life to be able to fight wits with so many talented people, and then defeat them one by one.

Besides, everyone has a backhand.

In order to test the strength of the troops in the city, Liu Qi organized eight battalions of about [-] troops each.Let people take turns to attack the two military camps west of Wucheng.

Two camps were blocking the way to attack Wucheng, as if two gates were tightly blocking the Jingzhou army.The leader of the first battalion is Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang.Sun Ben can also be regarded as the veteran of Jiangdong, and he has followed the Sun family to fight the world since the time of Sun Jian.His younger brother Sun Fu, prefect of Luling, was also a rare brave general, and was stationed in another camp.The soldiers are all elite, ten thousand each.

The generals under him are also well-known warriors dispatched by Zhou Yu in the past, such as Ding Feng, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and other young generals.It is the age when newborn calves are not afraid of tigers in their 20s. They don't have so much fear of Liu Qi's Jingzhou Army, but more eager to fight.

For those veterans who are self-reliant and unable to command, Zhou Yu prefers young and energetic teenagers.Liu Qi also likes it, and will teach them an unforgettable lesson in this lifetime.

The two big camps were only ten miles away from Wucheng, blocked on two roads among the forests of layers of hills.In order to capture Wucheng, these two camps must be captured, or at least one of them.

"I ordered." Liu Qi, who had been stationed in Wucheng for thirty-five days, finally couldn't sit still, and found a day that was not too hot, and started to carry out a tentative attack.

"With Huang Zhong as the main general, Li Yan, Liao Li, Xu Sheng, and Gong Du as the deputy generals each lead a battalion to attack Sun Ben's division in the Northern Camp; with Pang Tong as the main general, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Deng Zhi, and Liao Hua as the deputy generals, directly directing the battalion to Sun Fu's division. Zhang Xiu and Huang Xu each led [-] cavalry to assist in the battle. Within three days, we must capture the enemy camp."

"promise".

The generals went down and dispatched the soldiers.

"Wenhe, Kongming. Let's go, you and I will watch the battle together." Liu Qi smiled.

Liu Qi and Pang Tong went all the way to Sun Fu's place to watch the battle.After training in Runan and Jiaozhou, Pang Tong's ability to use troops has improved day by day, and gradually he has the demeanor that in history, he and Liu Bei led Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others to defeat all the passes they went to.It's just that for his personal safety, after Liu Qi's repeated requests, he will not take risks in person. I am afraid that the mid-term death in the future can be avoided.

The Jingzhou Tigers in black clothes and armor filed out one after another.Zhang Fei's first battalion was the vanguard of this army. After marching for two hours, they saw the outline of Sun Fu's camp.Sun Fu's scouts had already sent the news over, so Pang Tong's army was pressing on the camp gate when the time came, and the antlers and horses were all ready.

The soldiers on the watchtower all drew their arrows, the infantry drew their swords, and the grain carts behind the camp gate blocked the road to prevent the cavalry from rushing into the camp.
