The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 581
For the strategy proposed by Mi Fang, the idea that came to Liu Chan's mind at that time was to ignore it directly.

Let's not say that the geography of Lu Xun's division of troops to guard these cities is critical, but it is suspicious to say that Lu Xun's plan to do so is suspicious.

Lu Xun could have defended Xiangtan firmly, but why did he suddenly withdraw his troops?In fact, Liu Chan really suspected that Lu Xun's intention was to let Zhang Fei disperse his troops and then defeat them one by one!
If we think about it at a deeper level, Zhang Feijun attacked from Jingmen Mountain all the way, and the rear front was stretched very long in retrospect.

Originally, Liu Chan asked Fan Jiang and Zhou Cheng's water army to control Dongting Lake. One of his intentions was to control the waters; the other was to transport grain and grass to the south bank of Dongting Lake through the Yangtze River waterway. A lot of capacity.

However, Fan Jiang and Zhou Cheng lost Dongting Lake.So, now Zhang Fei's grain and grass can only be transported to Zhang Fei's hands by going ashore at Gong'an City from Youjiang Estuary, and then taking a long road.

In other words, Lu Xun's intention to have Quan Cong attack the Jiangzhou navy with all his might was probably aimed at Zhang Feijun's grain transportation.

Thinking of this series of problems in the management department, Liu Chan felt a little overwhelmed, and secretly scolded Mi Fang for her ignorance.

But Mi Fang is Liu Chan's uncle after all, and there is no need for the two parties to tear each other up, they always want to save some face for him.

Liu Chan had no choice but to solemnly say to Mi Fang: "Uncle's plan is not very appropriate."

Mi Fang actually asked quite interestedly: "What do you mean by your son's words?
——You bastard can't figure it out by yourself, does this son still have the obligation to explain it to you?

Liu Chan couldn't help cursing in his heart, but his expression was calm and he said: "Uncle, if my second uncle divides his forces and attacks, the force will become very scattered, and it will definitely give Lu Xun an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, with In the current situation, this plan is not feasible!"

Not only did Liu Chan make a long story short, but he didn't even bother to explain too clearly, he just said a little bit of his own opinion casually.Mi Fang nodded straight after hearing this, and didn't know what he was thinking, but it was more likely that he was putting on an act.

After Liu Chan finished speaking, all the generals fell into deep thought and remained silent.

After a long while, Liao Hua stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the Jiangzhou Army should not attack separately now, can we cross the Xiangshui River first, seize one of the cities, and then slowly expand the results to the surrounding cities?"

Liao Hua's suggestion is quite insightful, at least ten times stronger than Mi Fang's.

However, the difficulty of doing so is actually relatively large.Because a city was attacked, Lu Xun would definitely launch a full-scale counterattack to besiege the Jiangzhou army.

As a result, both sides must continue to invest troops in this area.But the situation at this time is favorable to the Jiangdong army, and it can even gradually wipe out the strength of the Jiangzhou army in a way of gradually eating away.

Furthermore, the current area can be said to be backed by Jiangdong's mainland, and it is about [-] miles away from Yangzhou, so it is relatively easy to get Jiangdong's support.At that time, even if the two sides enter the stage of a war of attrition, it will be Lu Xun's side that will ultimately occupy the complete advantage.

Liu Chan said: "This move may be feasible, but the problem is that it may turn into a large-scale stalemate again! At that time, our side will occupy a small area, but it will be convenient for Lu Xun to gradually organize troops to encircle and wipe out the Jiangzhou army. When the time comes, will the Jiangzhou Army continue to increase its troops to attack, or withdraw immediately? No matter how you look at it, it will be a costly move."

Gai Meng felt that Liu Chan's analysis was quite reasonable, nodded his head and said annoyedly: "This Lu Xun's behavior is really strange. Could it be that this is to set up obstacles for the Jiangzhou Army to confuse the Jiangzhou Army? But what is his purpose, to lure the Jiangzhou army to cross the Xiang River?"

Seeing Gai Meng complaining, Liu Chan just smiled.Then, Liu Chan seemed to be inspired by something, and his expression became serious in an instant.

Seeing the sudden change in Shizi's expression, those who knew Liu Chan began to guess that Shizi might have discovered something.

Since Yu Jin entered the meeting hall, he has not said a word, just quietly listening to the interaction between Liu Chan and the generals.However, not saying it doesn't mean he has no ideas.Yu Jin saw Liu Chan's performance in his eyes, and expected to see what kind of performance Liu Chan would have next.

Liu Chan now recalled that in another time and space, when Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun in Yiling, he was lured step by step into the deep mountainous area, and when he reached the limit of his troops, he then desperately resisted according to the terrain. Exhausted the vigor of Liu Bei's army.Then, Lu Xun took advantage of the weakness of Liu Bei's army and battalion, and set the Shu army on fire, causing the Shu army to flee in all directions, depleting nearly half of the Shu Han's national power.

It can be seen that Lu Xun does not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place at all when using troops.Then, Lu Xun decisively gave up the defense of Xiangtan City, which seems to make sense.

Then, the next step is to think about the behind-the-scenes intention of why you should decisively give up.

Thinking of this, Liu Chan looked at the battle map again.He frowned and observed, but shook his head.

At this time, Yu Jin suddenly said, "If Lu Xun can give up Xiangtan decisively, why can't he give up Changsha City and a series of cities along the Xiangshui River?"

Liu Chan's eyes trembled, the small wooden stick in his hand fell from the battle map, and he turned to look at Yu Jin in astonishment.

Lu Xun's abandonment of a Xiangtan has already made him dizzy, so what is the reason for abandoning a series of cities next?

When the generals heard Yu Jin say this, most of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and they couldn't understand it at all.

Liu Chan had no choice but to ask Yu Jin for advice: "General Yu, why do you think so?"

Yu Jin cupped his hands and said: "The general just thinks that Lu Xun will continue to retreat the army and lure the Jiangzhou army to continue eastward. Because the terrain where the Jiangzhou army is now is not the original Wuling County. They Now they are all in the plains. If Lu Xun's army wants to intercept them in such a place, the best thing to rely on is a city."

Meng Xi wondered: "If that's the case, why does Lu Xun continue to give up the city and retreat?"

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Because Lu Xun wants to ambush the Jiangzhou Army!"

Mi Fang immediately shouted: "This is impossible! In such an empty plain, how could Lu Xun ambush an army as big as the Jiangzhou Army? This is simply a dream!"

At least what Mi Fang said this time made sense. How could Lu Xun's army set up an ambush against a Jiangzhou army of nearly 3 people on a plain?The concealment of their forces is an impossible technical problem.

Therefore, it is of course impossible for Liao Hua and others to agree with Jin's opinion.

But Liu Chan saw that Yu Jin was confident, so he handed the small wooden stick in his hand to Yu Jin, and said, "General Yu, come up and explain to us."

Yu Jin stood up, took the stick from Liu Chan respectfully, stood beside Liu Chan, and calmly pointed the stick to Xiajun, Wuchang and Liu Yang behind Changsha County.

Only then did Yu Jin explain: "Have you seen it, do these three places form a deep arc?"

The generals saw that it was indeed the case.

Liu Chan then asked, "The question is, why did Lu Xun choose to retreat to these three places?"

Yu Jin looked at Liu Chan, pointed the stick at Wu Chang and Liu Yang, and said, "The Jiangdong army retreated to these two places, and behind them is Yangzhou, Jiangdong's native land. They retreated there, which can show that they have nowhere to go. Return."

The generals nodded, Yu Jin's statement was quite reasonable.

Yu Jin then pointed to Xia Jun and said, "Xia Jun is located at the midpoint between Changsha County and Jiangxia County. Everyone, don't forget that the strategic goal we formulated earlier was not to enter the mainland of Jiangdong, but to capture Jiangxia! Even if Lu Xun didn't know the target of my family, he could easily guess that it is impossible for our army to attack Jiangdong's mainland. That is not something that the Jiangzhou Army can bear now. Then, the main attack direction of the Jiangzhou Army must be in the north. Jiang Xia is gone. If you want to go to Jiang Xia, you have to take down Xia Jun first!"

The generals still nodded, but after Yu Jin said so much, what intention did he want to express?And Liu Chan's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.But he didn't say anything immediately, and let Yu Jin continue to explain.

At this time, the small wooden stick in Yu Jin's hand suddenly pointed to Liling on the battle map, and said, "Lu Xun's last fatal move came from here!"

Mi Fang sneered: "Is this the ambush Lu Xun prepared for the Jiangdong Army?"

Yu Jin replied indifferently but calmly: "Exactly!"

Mi Fang's sneer suddenly froze.

Yu Jin went on to say: "Lu Xun will retreat all his troops to the north, but don't forget, he is now the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he can recruit any troops from the Jiangdong Army."

Yu Jin suddenly pointed the small wooden stick to Luling County in the mainland of Jiangdong, and said: "There is a colonel in Tuntian here, and the population is very large. Lu Xun can easily recruit a large army from here to hide in Liling. When the time comes, when the Jiangzhou army is trying its best to storm Xiajun and resist Wu Chang and Liu Yang, this large army suddenly moves out to outflank the Jiangzhou army, and this large-scale roundabout ambush will be completed. "

The generals were in cold sweat when they heard that, Lu Xun's plan was too sinister.Moreover, the scope of this plan's operation is really too large. It actually spans Jingyang and Yangzhou, and new troops must be recruited to operate it. How can someone without a super vision use it?
In fact, everyone now knows that although Yu Jin didn't say anything clearly, once such a situation occurs, it actually means that Zhang Fei's Jiangdong Army will ruin Jiangdong!

Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Lu Xun really has a big appetite. This son gave you a chance for peace, but you still want to play this trick on me! However, you have enough time to operate such a big game War!"

It seems that Liu Chan agreed with Yu Jin's opinion.
