The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 588
At nightfall when Gai Meng's cavalry team arrived, Zhang Fei hosted a banquet for the three generals of Gai Meng to clean up the dust.In fact, Zhang Fei also had another purpose in doing this, which was also to allow the three of Gai Meng to get acquainted with the generals in his army as soon as possible.

After all, this battle with the Jiangdong Army may last for a long time, and there will be more and more cooperation between the armies of the two sides. Everyone should cooperate with each other as soon as possible. It's good to get acquainted with each other.

Although Zhang Bao had a bad relationship with Gai Meng, and the knot seemed to be unraveled, but under Zhang Fei's strict request, how dare he not participate?Isn't that what you are looking for?
However, Zhang Bao still talked to Xiong Ping enthusiastically at the banquet, and the two of them were also comrades-in-arms who participated in the battle at Huya Mountain.Then, Zhang Bao also said something to Meng Xi.However, Zhang Bao is really not as fierce as the bird cover.Ge Meng just pretended to turn a blind eye to this.

After the banquet was over, Deng Ai returned to his tent a little depressed.His character is still quite competitive, and it should even be said that his desire to make contributions is too urgent.Therefore, with the arrival of Gai Meng's cavalry, Deng Ai felt that his status seemed to have dropped a lot at once.

In fact, Deng Ai didn't have to have such an idea.At least he is one of the twin servants of the prince, and his status is right there. Who among Liu Chan's generals would dare to underestimate him?
Deng Ai immediately took out the combat map drawn by himself, and looked at it carefully.

At this time, it was already late at night, the moonlight was cold, only the sound of frogs outside came to Deng Ai's ears.However, because Deng Ai was lost in deep thought, he could hardly hear the wonderful sound of frogs at all.

Perhaps feeling thirsty, Deng Ai casually took a sip of the tea made from the tea leaves that Sun Yao had left for him before leaving.

Then, he picked up a pen and began to draw on the combat map.In fact, when it comes to drawing combat maps, Deng Ai is very, very confident. Apart from Shizi, I really don't believe that anyone else is better than him.Of course, it is impossible for Deng Ai not to be unconvinced by Liu Chan, but Liu Chan once taught him basic geometry.

That night, Deng Ai spent almost all night thinking about how to fight the Jiangdong Army next.

As expected, Deng Ai guessed correctly. After getting along with Zhang Fei these days, he already understood the characters of Zhang Fei and Huang Quan, who joined the army.Sure enough, Zhang Fei and Huang Quan raised their accounts early the next morning and summoned the generals to discuss the next battle plan.

Zhang Fei's generals certainly knew that Liu Chan was leading an army towards them at this time, but no matter from which aspect of this battle, their Jiangzhou army was the main force.The Jiangzhou Army led by Liu Chan can only be called a reinforcement, and the main cavalry team of the reinforcement has already arrived. Of course, Zhang Fei does not need to wait until Liu Chan arrives before gathering the generals to work out the next battle plan.

After everyone took their seats, Zhang Fei's leopard eyes swept across the generals, and he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, you should have been notified in advance of the purpose of calling you here today. Then, everyone Please listen to Huang Canjun's opinion first."

Huang Quan joined Zhang Fei's army, and it was his job to be a military counselor for Zhang Fei, the chief general.Therefore, it is reasonable for Huang Quan to explain his battle plan first.

Huang Quan said without hesitation: "Everyone, Quan has drawn up a plan here, please give me your advice."

Then, Huang Quan began to explain his battle plan.Combining the information provided by Liu Chan earlier, Huang Quan believed that since Lu Xun has slowly retreated his army again, that is to say, his intention to lure the enemy into a deep place is already very obvious.In other words, even if Zhang Fei's army crosses the Xiangshui River immediately, they will definitely not encounter decent resistance from the Jiangdong Army.

Huang Quan's statement should be said to be extremely bold. When everyone was still thinking about how to cross the river, he had already solved the matter of crossing the river in three strokes...

It can be seen that Huang Quan is indeed very talented in military affairs.

All the generals were immediately attracted by Huang Quan's words.Now that the army can easily cross the river, he is curious about how Huang Quan will solve Lu Xun's scheme.

Huang Quan then told the generals that since Lu Xun wanted to encircle their army so much, but his army from Dongting Lake should have been fighting Liu Chan by now, and it would be difficult to rush over to join the battle.

Therefore, Huang Quan believes that when Lu Xun's Jiangdong Army's intentions are discovered by their own side, they can use Jiangzhou Army as the main force to cross the river and pretend to enter the Jiangdong Army's encirclement.

When the two sides were in a fierce battle, Gai Meng's cavalry team suddenly rushed out and broke through the encirclement of Jiangdong Army.Then, without turning back, Gai Meng suddenly took down Xiajun. Once Xiajun was taken down, not only Jiangxia County and Lukou Port of the Jiangdong Army would be completely exposed to the attack of the cavalry, but Jiangdong's mainland would also be exposed. are likely to be attacked.

Then at that time, even if Lu Xun's encirclement is successful, due to such a situation, he can only choose to retreat to keep Jiangdong mainland and Jiangxia County.Otherwise, Lu Xun's strategic intentions can only be hated after all.

Huang Quan's battle plan should be said to be quite wonderful.It was indeed a hit at once, and the Jiangdong army was afraid of the weakness of the mainland being attacked by the Shuhan army.What's more, it is now close to autumn, and the grain is about to mature, which is why Jiangdong's mainland must not be attacked.

However, the main purpose of Huang Quan's battle plan was to target Lu Xun's strategy and defeat Lu Xun's strategic intention to encircle and wipe out the Jiangzhou Army.So in Deng Ai's view, Huang Quan's battle plan was too petty.

What's more, Huang Quan wanted to use the main force of the Jiangzhou Army as a bait. In fact, it was a clever move, but he took it for granted and lacked the necessary security guarantees.

Deng Ai's cautious temperament can be seen from this.

Therefore, Deng Ai thought for a while, and felt that it was his turn to speak and explain the battle plan he had thought about these days.

Deng Ai immediately looked up at Zhang Fei above the middle hall.Zhang Fei obviously also noticed that Deng Ai was looking at him, and the two looked at each other immediately. Deng Ai had no intention of avoiding it, and his eyes were full of confidence.

In fact, Zhang Fei has become accustomed to Deng Ai's naturally proud character.Seeing that he seemed to have something to say now, he first asked Deng Ai: "Lieutenant Deng, what do you think of Huang Canjun's strategy?"

When Zhang Fei asked, everyone's eyes turned to Deng Ai.

Although he was looking forward to becoming a highly anticipated figure one day, Deng Ai suddenly found that being looked at by everyone like this made him feel a little uncomfortable.

So strangely, an idea suddenly emerged in Deng Ai's heart that he should be humble at this time.Although such an idea was indeed not his original intention, the idea did appear inexplicably like this, and soon dominated the thinking in his mind.

As a result, Deng Ai suddenly bowed his hands, and said quite rarely: "The last general thinks that Huang Canjun's arrangement is very good."

Zhang Fei frowned, and couldn't help being a little surprised by Deng Ai's behavior, but he was actually a little angry in his heart.

What happened to this guy Deng Ai? I should have something to say when I saw him just now, so I asked him specifically. Why, my question was for nothing?So what do the generals think of themselves because of this, and do they take special care of Deng Ai?

Zhang Fei coughed lightly, seeming a little bit stuck, but he hoped that Deng Ai could say something constructive.He continued to ask: "Lieutenant Deng, if you have anything else to say, please just say it."

Of course, Deng Ai didn't know Zhang Fei's psychology, and felt a little strange for Zhang Fei's questioning.But he felt that since Zhang Fei had said so, he might as well go along with the flow.In this case, not only would he have a chance to perform, but he could also give Zhang Fei some face.

Deng Ai cupped his hands again, and said: "The general obeys the order. The general thinks that there are still some gaps in Huang Canjun's series of arrangements."

Zhang Fei nodded, expecting Deng Ai to continue talking.

When Huang Quan heard Deng Ai's words, the expression on his face did not change. He listened to Deng Ai's continuation very calmly, and it seemed that he did not feel annoyed because Deng Ai wanted to raise an objection.

Deng Ai is also mature now, and it is impossible to rush like before, so after seeing Huang Quan's expression in his eyes, he felt at ease.

Deng Ai said: "Huang Canjun's arrangement is that we send the main force to actively enter the encirclement set by the enemy, and then suddenly dispatch General Gai's cavalry to break the enemy's encirclement. Such an arrangement should be said to be The effect of the powerful assault ability of the cavalry is brought into play, after all, the Jiangdong Army should not know yet that Shizi has sent us a large cavalry team as reinforcements."

The generals nodded their heads, but what Deng Ai said actually missed the point.

Deng Ai began to speak immediately. Although Huang Quan's arrangement will have miraculous effects, the risk is actually relatively high.Because once even the cavalry can't break the siege of the Jiangdong Army, what should we do next?Then it means that the Shu Han army with tens of thousands of people was encircled on three sides by the Jiangdong Army on the east bank of the Xiangshui River.

Although there is still a way to retreat in the rear of one's own side, it will be impossible to retreat completely at that time.How much damage one's own side will suffer is almost all under the control of the Jiangdong Army, and they can only escape as much as they can!
