Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 788 Revisiting Old Events (1)

"From Zifan's point of view, Cao Pi is currently stationed in Jiangling, Meng Da and Xia Houshang are training naval forces. Xu Sheng is stationed on the south bank, Sun Xing is in Baqiu, and Tai Shixiang is in Fankou. I think Xu Sheng's plan is too fussy. Let Cao Pi After crossing the south of the Yangtze River, I confronted him in Yiyang. Wang Chuan led the Shanyue army and Sha Mozan helped me to harass my flank. Xu Sheng could lead the water army to attack Jiangling and cut off the rear, and the Wei army could break through." Zhou Xin was very excited. .

Looking at the map, Duanmuling nodded first, then shook his head slightly. "Peace is a good strategy, but there are two shortcomings. First, it is hard to know what Shamo-chan's new intentions are. Cao Pi will definitely send someone to promise a lot of money. If Shamo-chan suddenly turns against him, I will be passive."

Zhou Xin was frightened secretly. If Sha Mozan took refuge with Cao Pi, not only would Wang Chuan's 5000 troops fail to survive, but the door to Wuling going south would be opened. "What about the second one?"

"All the way I came here, I heard that the appeasement envoys tried their best to retain the people, and threatened that the Wei army would not be able to cross the river. If Cao Pi was allowed to cross the river, Jingnan would be shaken, and the people would be terrified. carry on."

"Ah, if it wasn't for Zifan's reminder, I would almost have made a mistake." Zhou Xin blamed himself again and again, it seemed that he was still far from leading the battle. "According to Zifan's intention, is it to guard along the river, or is it what Nawen Xiang said?"

Duanmuling hehe said: "Blame me, blame me. In fact, not only did I go south under the order of the Duke, but Xingba was also ordered to guard the Lujiang River. It not only defends the Jiangnan Road, but also defends Jiangxia Wenpin."

"Well, Xingba has also returned to the army." Zhou Xin was overjoyed, and then he came to his senses: "Zi Fan's intention, is it necessary to use Xingba? Could it be, could it be..."

"Exactly. Cao Pi stationed in Jiangling, he must have thought that I would do my best to defend or fight against him in Jiangling. He would never have thought that I would go all out to take his Jiangxia County! Although Wenpin is a general, he is invincible in Xingba water warfare. Xiang and Sun Xing help each other, how can Wenpin be against? The appeasement does not know, Xingba was under the command of the former Liu Biao's Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu before he was attached to the Duke, and he has a deep understanding of the local hydrology and geography. How can you not win?"

A native of Ganning Bajun, a good ranger, with a group of unscrupulous young men carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads, bells on their bodies, sailing around on boats with brocade sails, and making a living by plundering, they are called brocade thieves . After the age of 20, he suddenly changed his gender and began to study knowledge to make a difference.Gan Ning found out that Liu Biao was not good at military affairs, and it was difficult to achieve great things under the situation of restlessness and strife among heroes at that time. He heard that Sun Ce was flourishing in Jiangdong, so he wanted to go to Jiangdong with [-] pieces of songs. However, Huang Zu, who came from a noble family, looked down on Gan Ning, who was born as a water thief. He only wanted Gan Ning to work hard but refused to give Gan Ning a promotion, so Gan Ning was abducted by Zhou Cang.

"I can order Xu Sheng to harass Jiangling, act as if he wants to attack, focus Cao Pi's attention on Jiangling, and act with Xingba. After Jiangxia is taken down?"

"When Cao Cao took Jingzhou and Liu Bei abandoned Xinye, he and Zhang Fei went to Jiangling in Dangyang, while Guan Yu went to Liu Qi for help by going down the Han River to Jiangxia. Guan Yu got Liu Bei who was picked up by Liu Qi's navy from Jiangling. During the war, Liu Bei stationed in Fankou, Guan Yu wanted to plot Xiakou and was defeated by Wenpin Huo, and Liu Beicai took advantage of Zhou Yu and Cao Ren's battle in Jiangling to steal the four counties in southern Jing." Duanmuling did not answer directly, but talked about the past. that history.

With lessons learned, Zhou Xin learned to listen carefully. "Zifan said that Guan Yu wanted to take Jiangxia to seize Jingzhou first, but was defeated by Wenpin. Zhou Yu could only take it if he lost the opportunity, and Liu Bei turned to take Jingnan. Then Guan Yu took Jiangxia because he wanted to take Jiangxia in Yanhan. Go northward and take Xiangyang directly!"

"exactly."

"Guan Yu was defeated by Wenpin, but I, Gan Ning, can win. That is to say, I can use him to seek Xiangyang and trap Cao Pi in Jiangling!"

Duanmuling clapped his palms and smiled without answering.

Zhou Xin calmed down, looked at the map carefully for a long time, and slapped the table: "Just follow this plan! Zifan's scheme is not inferior to Zifan's."

Duanmuling sighed softly: "Guan Yunchang's plan back then was remarkable, but it's a pity that it was not at the right time."

The plan is a good plan, but unfortunately there are many shortcomings.One is that Liu Bei's strength is not enough to complete this plan; the other is that Guan Yu underestimated Wenpin, Liu Biao has no generals, but they are not reused; the third is that Zhou Yu will never sit back and watch Liu Bei take Jingzhou, so he is doomed to fail no matter what , an attack without follow-up will have little effect.

At this time, Zhou Xin has all the conditions, including an elite navy, a brave general, and a strong back-up support and resource guarantee.It's just that Zhou Xin and Duan Muling didn't consider Zhou Cang's overall plan. According to the usual practice, the commander of the expedition has the right to make decisions before the battle. The two called Feng Jian, Su Li and Qu Ping to carefully deduce.

Gan Ning, Tai Shixiang, and Sun Xing have a total of 5 naval divisions and thousands of warships. With twice the force, they can take Jiangxia.Afterwards, Gan Ning and Tai Shixiang immediately went to the Han River to attack Xiangyang. It is estimated that they can invest [-] troops. It is not a big problem to capture Xiangyang and hold it.After Gan Ning went north, Jiangxia's defense must not be compromised. There may be insufficient troops left behind in Jiangxia. You can write to Pei Yuanshao, asking him to send Huang Xu to lead ten thousand people to Fankou. At that time, Gan Ning and Tai Shixiang attack Xiangyang. Sun Xing guarded the land route and the water route alone, and Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua joined forces to protect Jiangxia.

It is estimated to prepare for [-] days, and Gan Ning will occupy Xiangyang in another [-] days. If Fancheng is empty, Tai Shixiang can divide his troops to capture Fancheng and close the gate of Jingbei.Cao Pi was bound to panic, and had to withdraw his troops or divide his troops to save Xiangyang. Zhou Xin could launch a large army to attack Jiangling.

There is no need to worry about food, grass and luggage. Pei Yuanshao is well prepared. There is no shortage of Jiangnan Road, and it is transported by water, which is very convenient and fast, and there is no need to worry about being robbed.Zhou Xin is very satisfied with this plan, but Qu Ping has some concerns: the whole plan is too large and too complicated, even a little wishful thinking, Cao Pi just let us lead by the nose?Will the war proceed as planned?What should I do if there are accidents and deviations?
Feng Jian expressed the same worry: "Cao Pi has gathered nearly 15 horses in Jingzhou, while our army is no more than [-] to [-]. In terms of military strength, we are at a disadvantage. Although there is a superior navy, Wenpin is a famous general in Jingzhou. He defended well and waited for Cao Pi's reinforcements, then all the plans would be in vain. Even if he successfully captured Jiangxia and Gan Ning went upstream, his speed may not be faster than Cao Pi's return to aid Xiangyang. What should Cao Pi do if he sends troops back to defend in time? ?”

A series of questions made Zhou Xin feel like pouring a basin of cold water on his head.Duanmu Ling was looking around, Zhou Xin suddenly thought of someone, why did he forget him?
