The scene was dead silent for a moment, and Liu Bei voiced his doubts.

Lu Su patted his head and said with a smile: "But I didn't make it clear, not completely withdrawing from Jiangxia, but retreating to the other side of the Yangtze River."

"The county towns of Exian and Shaxian in Jiangxia are all on the other side of the Yangtze River, so you can retreat here. It is better to be stationed at Xiakou.

This is the place where the Han water flows into the Yangtze River, and it can be attacked by the Changshan army of Xiakou, Hanyang, and Shiyang with horns to guard Lujiang County! "

Liu Bei suddenly realized after hearing this, but still looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at the topographic map and said: "The vicinity of Xiakou, which can be attacked and retreated, is indeed a strategic place.

However, we need to send heavy troops to guard Chibi not far away, where the current is relatively gentle, if there is a mistake on the other side of the Yangtze River, to avoid the Changshan army crossing the river here, give us a surprise attack. "

Xu Shu's recognition of this military master finally put Liu Bei at ease, and immediately ordered people to prepare to withdraw his troops from Xiling in Jiangxia.

Lu Su said with a smile:

"Because of the topography here in Chibi, the water flow is indeed gentler than in other parts of the Yangtze River.

However, if the Changshan army wanted to attack in Chibi, it would need to take most of the county towns of Nanyang and Jiangxia in Jingzhou on the other side of the Yangtze River.

They have just engaged our Jiangdong Army, and the strategic line will not be laid for so long. Moreover, the division of troops to fight, not to mention the dispersion of troops, is difficult to guarantee logistical assistance alone.

If my expectations are good, they led their army to defend Lujiang County, mainly to deter Jingzhou, and the primary goal was to deal with our Jiangdong first.

According to Gong Jin, the naval forces under the Changshan Army are very strong, I believe Xuande has also heard of it? "

Lu Su said here, Liu Guan and Zhang three people bowed their heads one after another.

They had experienced the Battle of Guandu and had seen with their own eyes the strength and warship equipment of the Changshan Navy!

Very powerful indeed!

Lu Su continued with a smile: "If my expectations are correct, the Changshan Navy has already taken advantage of the open sea to go south, and when they arrive, it will be when our water war breaks out.

Therefore, you don't need to worry about the Changshan army attacking Jingzhou, and step up the training of the navy division during this time. The Changshan Army is invincible in land battles, we can only start with water battles!

The location, people, and people are also the best way for us to fight in the Yangtze River Basin in the two prefectures of Jingyang! "

Lu Su's words made Liu Bei relax a lot.

Just learned that Zhao Yun led an army of 100,000 Gong to guard Lujiang, he was really scared. But now after Lu Su's analysis, he is completely relieved!

"Zijing is really resourceful!" Liu Bei sighed and said. If he could meet Lu Su earlier, he would definitely recruit him.

Xu Shu added:

"Having said that, we still can't take it lightly. King Changshan has never made a move according to common sense, and no one knows how he will line up his troops! "

Lu Su bowed his head and said:

"That's nature! Not only King Changshan, but also his subordinates are all resourceful, and we need to be careful.

That's why I proposed to let Gong Jin lead the Admiral Parade here.

The first is to assist you in your safe retreat. The second is to observe the nearby terrain, check and fill in the gaps, and at the same time let Gong Jin serve us as a staff officer. "

The Yangtze River area near Jiangxia used to belong to Jingzhou. They are in the enemy army, so naturally it is impossible to come here frequently.

Now that the two have joined forces, the Yangtze River is turbulent, and some terrain changes have increased, which will lead to changes and accidents in a battle.

With Zhou Yu's resourcefulness, he will definitely be able to use this to discover problems.

On the marching battle, advice, and military level, Zhou Yu is one of the strongest generals Lu Su has only seen in his life, and he is also sorry for himself!

"In this way, I will bother Zijing, and write a letter to the Metropolitan Governor, and ask him to come and counsel one or two!" Liu Bei said very approvingly.

Don't look at the battle of Guangling, Zhou Yu was defeated.

But compared to Changshanjun's other opponents, Zhou Yu's performance has been very good. It can be called the strongest opponent of the Changshan Army so far!

At first, Yuan Shao led an army of more than 600,000, but he was all defeated and captured. Zhou Yu can at least lead the army back, which shows his resourcefulness!

"Xuan De said seriously, now you and I are working hand in hand, helping you is equivalent to helping ourselves, all to resist the strong attack of the Changshan army!"

Lu Su said with a smile.

Feeling Lu Su's sincerity, Xu Shu also instructed:

"Now that the Changshan Army is stationed in Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Guangling County, in this section of the Yangtze River Valley, you still need to be careful to send troops to patrol to avoid them taking the opportunity to attack!"

"Thank you for reminding you." Lu Su also replied with kindness.

Lu Su got along very well with Liu Guanzhang, and directly wrote a letter to Zhou Yu, asking him to come over and consult for this.

As a matter of fact.

Lu Su was also worried that the Changshan army would attack from here, and letting Zhou Yu come and line up the troops would also allow Liu Bei to have better preparations, just in case.

......

Yuzhang County.

Zhou Yu led the navy division to cruise the Yangtze River, inspecting various important passes to avoid giving Changshan troops an opportunity.

Now Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are in the hands of the Changshan Army, and even because Zhang Ji and Gao Yan led the army to the south quickly, the Jiangdong Army garrisons in the two counties quickly fled.

Therefore, many ports, warships and other important materials along the river in the two counties were still left.

According to Zhou Yu's original idea, after these warships and ships retreated, if there was any surplus, they would all be burned!

Even important naval divisions such as ports need to be completely destroyed, and there will definitely be no materials left for the Changshan Army!

Pity.

People are not as good as days.

The Jiangdong Army suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Guangling, the army's heart shook, and morale plummeted.

Coupled with Changshan King's newspapers and transmission channels, so that in less than a day, the news spread all over the world, and it also caused an uproar among the Jiangdong garrisons in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County!

After the Changshan army went south to attack Jiujiang and Lujiang, the Jiangdong garrison did not even have the idea of stubbornly resisting, and fled the two counties one by one.

Even if Zhou Yulusu wanted to lead the army to help, because of the crushing defeat in the Battle of Guangling, the army was depressed, the strength was insufficient, and the heart was more than enough!

Various factors finally led to Changshanjun receiving a complete Jiujiang County and Lujiang County.

This also forced Zhou Yu to lead his army to cruise the Yangtze River, with the purpose of training troops to suppress bandits, while inspecting each pass and observing the Changshan army on the other side of the river.

Fortunately, what made Zhou Yu relax was that the Changshan army that went south with Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, was an army unit, not a Changshan navy.

Although they used the battleship to train and wanted to make meritorious contributions to the battle of crossing the river in the future, the northerners did not know water nature, and it was difficult to succeed in a short time.

It's just that......

"If Changshan's navy arrives south, Jiangdong will still be in danger!" Zhou Yu sighed a little in his heart.

He has been paying attention to Changshan, whether it is humanistic economy, military politics, people's livelihood development, etc., all public information, information that can be heard, Zhou Yu is paying attention.

For Changshan Navy, he has no bottom in his heart!

Changshan Army is too strong!

The Changshan Navy is actually composed of Changshan Army officers and soldiers who are water-based and water-based!

The battle of Guangling proved that the personal strength of the Changshan army completely surpassed the level of ordinary people, reaching the point of one enemy and five!

Then the Changshan Navy can actually achieve the point of one enemy and five!

Zhou Yu didn't know if the water battle they were good at in Jiangdong could still resist in the face of such a group of super soldiers?!

Even if Zhou Yu didn't show it, the battle of Guangling still shattered his self-confidence, and an opening appeared!

"What a birthday!"

In Zhou Yu's view, the Battle of Guangling was fought by air with Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, but in the end he lost.

At the beginning, the two armies had exchanges back and forth, and finally suddenly killed a Zhao Yun, making him lose all games, all this must be the advance arrangement and scheduling of Changshan King!

This also made Zhou Yu feel worried in his heart, and it is still difficult to settle!

"Alas..."

Just as Zhou Yu sighed one after another, the herald suddenly came to report: "Governor Yudadu, Captain Lu Su is in a hurry!" "

"Oh?"

Zhou Yu quickly took it, and after flipping through it, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then entered the camp and looked at the topographic map.

"Zijing's choice is right, but the Jingzhou army retreated, didn't it just give Changshan army a chance!"

Zhou Yu's face was serious, and he immediately ordered: "Order the water division to prepare, and in an hour, the governor of Pontus will lead the army to Jiangxia Xiakou." "

"Yes!"

"Let Gan Ning and Lu Meng come to see me!"

"Yes!"

The cronies outside the house immediately left in a hurry, and Gan Ning and Lu Meng soon came here.

Lü Meng was only a Sima of another department, or he succeeded his brother-in-law who died in battle, so logically speaking, he was not eligible to enter the camp.

However, Zhou Yu discovered Lü Meng's talent as a general during this time, and intended to cultivate this son. In time, you can definitely take on the responsibility.

"Metropolitan Governor!"

Gan Ning and Lu Meng bowed.

"Zijing sent me a letter to let me go to Jiangxia, and now that the Jing Yang family has joined forces, I really need to go and explore."

Zhou Yu explained simply: "After I leave, Gan Ning, you lead your army to cruise the Yangtze River, remember to carefully review the Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Guangling County!" "

"The end will obey!" Gannin said.

"Lu Meng, you are appointed to the post of marching army division, and you have the right to advise and command." Zhou Yu entrusted him with a heavy task.

This made Lu Meng very shocked, but also very surprised: "Thank you Dadu Governor, Meng will definitely live up to his mission!" "

Zhou Yu bowed his head, repeatedly instructed, and finally said: "Remember to strictly guard the mouth of the Yangtze River." If there is a trace of the Changshan Navy, it will be transmitted to me as soon as possible! "

"The last general/subordinate obeys!"

The Yangtze River section of Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Guangling County has many high mountains on both sides of the river, and the water is turbulent, and it is difficult to easily cross the river.

In addition, this autumn and winter, the freezing cold, the cold wind, the sailing ship is unfavorable, but it is actually a time of unfavorable water battle.

Now coupled with the generals Gan Ning and Lü Meng leading troops to cruise the Yangtze River, under heavy insurance, Zhou Yu was relieved to lead the army to Jiangxia.

Although they went against the wind, they still sailed quickly towards Jiangxia through the change of the angle of the sails.

Zhou Yu watched the Jiangdong sailor's practice making perfect, and he was also satisfied, and the original worry was relieved a lot!

They occupy the right place, people, and the odds of victory are still great!

......

After receiving Lu Su's letter, Liu Biao summoned his subordinate generals to discuss, and finally agreed to Yuan Shu's decision to withdraw from Nanyang to Xiangyang.

Yuan Shu is the concubine of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is even more because of the power of the fourth and third princes, protégés and former officials all over the world, which makes Liu Biao very jealous!

For fear of luring wolves into the house, it is easy to ask God to send God.

But.

Now that the great enemy is now, he should really use all the available forces!

Now in Nanyang, Jingzhou, Yuan Shu is actually unable to advance or retreat, and it is difficult to move.

The concubine of the Yuan family, because of the involvement of Yuan Shao's adopted son, caused the loss of troops and generals, and finally had to flee back to Yuzhou in embarrassment.

Who knew that after Cao Cao, this gelding, not only backstabbed them in the Battle of Guandu, but also took the opportunity to attack Yuzhou and wiped out Yuan Shu's family base!

After Cao Cao led his army into Yizhou, he thought that he could sit firmly in Yuzhou and develop his own power again, who knew that the Changshan army was coming again!

After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu accepted Liu Bei's decision to flee Jingzhou, who knew that Liu Biao, the wolf-hearted guy, would not let him enter the hinterland of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu had been suffering from gains and losses during this time, for fear of an attack by the Changshan army.

Nanyang, Jingzhou, is now besieged on all sides and is under enemies on all sides. Yuzhou on the right and Luoyang above can become the offensive line of the Changshan army.

Only the lofty mountains bordering Yizhou on the left can give Yuan Shu a little sense of security.

"Alas, I think I'm a grand general, how did you get to this point? If it weren't for the deep hatred between the Yuan family and King Changshan, I really wanted to surrender to the Changshan army. "

Yuan Shu used the wine to relieve his worries, and then sadness came from it: "Now even Zhao Yun is a post-general, and the world has changed after all!" I already know that today is not the beginning! "

If they had known the potential of Changshan King Liu Chen, their Yuan family would not have had a vendetta against him at all.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, in addition to proving their strength and heritage, it also proves that the Yuan family has a good vision and discerning people, so as not to offend people who should not be offended, and finally reached the position of the leader of the family!

Pity.

After the fourth and third princes, there were all over the world's protégés and officials, and the families were all close to the Yuan family, which eventually swelled them.

The implementation of the plan to overturn the Han has brought them to the point of irreparable disaster!

"Is the Yuan family about to end? Is my Yuan Shu going to end here?!" Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and asked.

At this moment, the herald hurriedly came to report and said in surprise: "General Yu! Liu Biao agreed that we would lead our army to Xiangyang! "

Yuan Shu was stunned, and then got up in surprise, threw the wine glass, and the whole person looked angry again:

"The Yuan family is not over yet! I'm not done yet! Hahaha, there is no way to go! "

Xiangyang is behind the Han water, which can be attacked and retreated. Compared to the location of Nanyang, it is much better and safer!

Even, if after entering Xiangyang, with his Yuan Shu's ability and means, he might be able to occupy the Magpie's Nest, suppress Liu Biao, and occupy the land of Jingzhou!

This made Yuan Shu's whole person a little fluttering, and he was recalling the branch of his Yuan family's power in Jingzhou.

But right now.

Another herald hurriedly came to report, this time not surprised, but said in horror:

"General! The Changshan army came to attack, less than twenty miles away from Nanyang! "

Yuan Shu, who was pleasantly surprised, was suddenly stunned, and then the whole person was completely shocked!

The problem that he had been worried about and had been evading finally appeared - the attack of the Changshan army!

"Damn it! Just a little bit closer! Why was it discovered by Chang Shan Jun who touched nearly twenty miles of land?! "

Yuan Shu roared angrily, in this short period of time, he really went from hell to the clouds, and fell into hell again!

Happy and sad is the best portrayal of Yuan Shu!

"Subordinates and subordinates don't know!"

The herald shivered, both worried about Yuan Shu's blame and worried about Changshan's attack.

"Waste! It's all a bunch of waste! Yuan Shu roared.

As a matter of fact.

With scout pigeons and communication pigeons, coupled with the vigilance of Changshan Army, the scouting spies scattered by Yuan Shu have long been plucked out one by one.

Only after being close to twenty miles did he realize that this was also what Chang Shanjun thought there was no need to waste time and directly chose to attack strongly, only to be learned by Yuan Shu's scouts.

Otherwise, it is estimated that when the soldiers come to the city, he will know that the great enemy is coming!

But.

The time when Yuan Shu's scout hurriedly fled to return the letter also happened to allow Changshan's soldiers to come to the city.

Sure enough.

Yuan Shu was furious, and before he could give an order to deal with it, another herald soldier came here, shouting in panic: "Chan, General Yu! The Changshan army came to the city..."

After many battles, as well as the Battle of Guangling not long ago, the Changshan Army is now terrifying to the point where the enemy army is terrified!

Even if you don't know the deployment of the Changshan Army and the leading general, it is still enough to deter the little and make people flee from the wind!

It is no wonder that the generals of Yuan Shu's army mutinied and panicked one by one!

"Soldiers, soldiers are coming to the city?"

Yuan Shu sat down directly, and he didn't get angry, his whole eyes were dull and woody.

Now I can't even escape.

"It seems that my Yuan family is still going to finish! My Yuan Shu is still going to be finished! Yuan Shu muttered, once again returning to the way he had just borrowed alcohol to relieve his worries.

Yuan Shu is short-sighted and courageous, but there are still some generals and advisers under him who can be ordered in danger!

But now he has even lost the courage and ideas to resist, so he gave up on himself.

Yuan Shu's generals and advisers could only organize their own generals to defend Nanyang City and defend the attack of Changshan's army.
