Three Kingdoms: Counselor, You Still Say You Don't Understand Strategy?

Even the current city of E was given to him by Sun Quan.

It seems to be very generous, but in fact Sun Quan has no good intentions.

Because Echeng happened to hold Jiangxia's main road to Lujiang on land.

If Cao Cao wanted to attack Lujiang, he would definitely attack Echeng first.

Therefore, the foundation of an isolated city of E is unstable and difficult to maintain.

Only by winning the important city of Jiangxia, the two cities will be at odds with each other, and the advance can be attacked and the retreat can be defended.

Occupy Xiakou Port and get the boats in it.

It has the ability to fight the Yangtze River.

In this way, he can be considered to have a firm foothold. Even if Cao Cao leads his troops to attack, he is not afraid.

After all, Jiangxia is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is only easier to walk on the water.

But Xiakou was taken down by him, and it was not so easy for Cao Cao to attack.

Even Liu Bei thought more.

At that time, we can "borrow" Lujiang from Sun Quan's hands.

Sun Quan might not agree.

After all, among the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River, Lujiang and the other five counties are separated by the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan is not easy to manage!

Therefore, Liu Bei was determined to win Jiangxia.

"The sergeant, when will we set off?"

Liu Bei asked aloud.

Zhuge Liang did not answer directly, but pointed to the map again: "Lord, please see, Cao Cao wants to take Jiangdong, and it is most convenient to enter Jiangdong land through Lukou Port."

"But the Jiangdong Navy will not sit back and watch Cao Cao land."

"When Cao's army is going downstream from Jiangling, the Jiangdong navy will definitely go upstream, and the two armies will meet here."

Zhuge Liang pointed to the Wulin area on the map.

"Aside from the time for the two armies to sail, the confrontation between the two armies will take half a day to complete. After the war, Cao Cao returned to Jiangling, and then received an urgent report to send reinforcements. We have at least seven days to take down Jiangxia. "

"Although there is plenty of time, but now that Cao Cao's army has left, we can't delay."

Liu Bei's expression froze.

"I also ask the military division to quickly give an order." Liu Bei said.

"good!"

Zhuge Liang smiled, got up and looked at the generals.

Everyone's eyes also looked over and converged on Zhuge Liang.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Zhuge Liang felt a little happy in his heart.

Pointing at Jiangshan, scolding Fang Qiu, but that's it.

sighed.

Zhuge Liang began to issue orders.

Soon, everyone took the task and agreed to it.

Finally, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun who had been silent.

"Zi Long!"

Zhuge Liang shouted.

Zhao Yun didn't intend to fight, but when Zhuge Liang spoke, he could only stand up helplessly.

"I order you to lead [-] soldiers and horses, and after Cai He's remnants have withdrawn from the West Tomb, cover up and chase after them. Be sure to capture Cai He alive." Zhuge Liang instructed.

"No!" Zhao Yun responded calmly.

The other generals suddenly tasted a little bit.

Zhao Yun's task was too easy.

It only needs to hunt down the remnants, and capture Jiangxia defender Cai He alive, which is also a great achievement.

The strategist was too partial.

Thinking of the current relationship between Zhao Yun and the lord, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't have much to say.

Arrangement ends.

The city gates of Echeng opened wide, and the various armies set off.

Zhang Fei led [-] troops to attack Xiakou, Guan Yu led [-] troops to set up an ambush in Xiling, and Zhao Yun led [-] troops to kill Jiangxia deserters.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were left to defend the city.

Liu Bei personally took [-] troops to attack Jiangxia, and Zhuge Liang went out with the army.

As for Pang Tong, he sat guarding the city of E, in case he was unprepared.

Not long after the army was dispatched, Cai He, who was drinking in Jiangxia City, received the news.

"Report, General Qi, Liu Bei led the army to attack Xiakou."

"what!"

Cai He looked startled, and hurriedly dropped the wine cup and went to the central army tent.

soon.

The staff are here.

After a simple discussion, a young man came out of the crowd: "General Cai, Xiakou is the entrance and exit of Jiangxia, and there is no room for loss, please send troops to rescue, otherwise, if Xiakou is lost, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the Prime Minister. "

The person who spoke was named Liu An.

It was a member of the Liu family in Jingzhou.

Also Liu Qi's distant cousin.

It's just that few people know about this relationship.

After all, there are many people surnamed Liu in Jingzhou.

"Then... Then how many people should I send?" Cai He asked nervously.

"Please lead [-] horses personally to rescue Xiakou," Liu An said.

"This... is too much. If I take away [-] soldiers and horses, and there are only [-] people left in the city, can I defend Jiangxia?" Cai He hesitated.

"General Cai, to rescue Xiakou, it's useless to go without people. After all, Liu Bei's two generals don't want to fall into their hands, right?"

Liu An waved his hand with a smile, and continued, "Besides, Jiangxia City has a thick wall, and we are guarding it. Even if Liu Bei comes out in full force, he will not be able to take Jiangxia!"

"Well, since that's the case, it's not too late. I'll lead troops to rescue Xiakou, and Jiang Xia will rely on you." Cai He didn't dare to delay, for fear of losing Xiakou and being punished by Cao Cao.

Immediately, he ordered [-] troops and went straight to Xiakou.

After Cai He led the troops away, Liu An immediately rushed to his confidant: "Quick, go and inform Young Master Liu Qi that the overall situation in the city has been decided."

"promise!"

And at the same time.

Not far from Jiangxia City.

In Jingling Mountain.

Gan Ning is hiding here with [-] elites! .

Chapter 103

As for why Gan Ning was stationed here.

This is from a few days ago.

At that time, Gan Ning was still in Jiangling, and news suddenly came from Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu was dismissed from the post of Grand Governor, and Liu Bei was expelled from Jiangdong by Sun Quan and stationed in Echeng.

Suddenly heard the news.

Su Chen was keenly aware that there must be a fraud in this.

To be cautious, he reminded Cao Cao and ordered Gan Ning to lead the [-] elites from Xiangyang and Jiangling to hide and garrison in Jingling Mountain, and do not leak any rumors!

There are three purposes.

First, to show that the enemy is weak, to light Liu Bei's heart, and to lure Liu Bei to attack Jiangxia.

The second is to solve the family and generals who opposed Cao Cao and pro-Liu Bei in Jiangxia city.

The third is to capture the city of E.

Moreover, Su Chen also left Gan Ning a deadline.

seven days.

During these seven days, if Liu Bei did not take any action, Gan Ning would keep his troops stationary. After seven days, he could lead his troops to attack Echeng directly, because after seven days, the Battle of Chibi was basically over, and Cao Cao returned with his army, even if no one attacked. , Liu Bei does not dare to be stationed in Echeng anymore.

If Liu Bei attacks Jiangxia, Gan Ning must cut off Liu Bei's retreat and capture him alive.

after all.

Su Chen was very aware of Liu Bei's escape ability.

If Gan Ning were to directly attack the city of E, I am afraid that before the city was captured, Liu Bei would have already run away with him.

Only by drawing Liu Bei out can we have a chance to catch Liu Bei.

It's just seven days, so it doesn't matter if you wait.

"Report!"
