Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

"Once the surprise attack fails, Liu Biao's troops will continue to rush to Jiangxia."

"If Jiang Xia can't attack it quickly, our army will have no hope of advancing!"

"Therefore, what our army wants is [-]%, [-]% winning rate!"

"Even if the enemy is prepared, our army can win!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately.

[-]% sure?

The enemy is ready to win?

Only military divisions dare to say this!

Could it be that he is planning to make a surprise move again? .

Chapter 158 Three Steps to Jingzhou, Powerful Features of Time and Time

Lujiang, outside Xunyang City, Sun Jian's camp.

Because the army is gathering, the troops are going south one after another, and now Sun Jian has assembled nearly [-] troops.

This time, in order to attack Jingzhou, Sun Jian deployed more than [-] people on the front lines of Runan and Lu.

Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Qiao Rui and others set up defenses respectively, and Zhang Hong, as the military division of the North Route Army, carried out strategic defense.

In addition to the defenses in Jiujiang County, Wu County, Kuaiji, Danyang and other places, Sun Jian is expected to mobilize a total of 7 elite troops, 6 troops from the prefectures and countries, and nearly 14 troops including the navy.

It is almost ready to go to Jingzhou for the first battle.

At this time, in the big tent, apart from Bai Liming, the military advisor, there were three advisors, Liu Ye, Qin Song, and Chen Duan.

Including Bai Liming's assistant officials, Zhuge Jin, Wang Can, and Lu Su who had just arrived in Sun Jian's army, there were seven civil servants in total.

As for the generals, the elites still came out together, Zu Mao and Zhao Yun were the first to bear the brunt, followed by Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi and others.

Apart from these people, behind Bai Liming were Sun Ce and Zhuge Liang.

For a while, everyone sat in the tent, which was enough to fill a large tent.

And this does not include those civil and military officials who have insufficient qualifications or who do not meet their identities.

It can be called a luxurious lineup.

Faced with such a big account, Sun Jian had long since lost his poor appearance in Luoyang, and he took the throne in high spirits, and started a military discussion.

Regarding Bai Liming's decision outside, Sun Jian frowned and said:

"Ruozhong, although our army is a surprise attack in this battle, it is still difficult to achieve a [-]% victory rate!"

"Besides, after the surprise attack, you can make a judgment in your mind about the specific strategy of our army!"

"My lord, rest assured!"

Hearing this, Bai Liming smiled slightly.

Because of the scorching heat in the military tent, he picked up the familiar lupine again and got up to cross the trail:

"About the strategy for this battle, Ming already has a draft in mind!"

With that said, he walked slowly to the front of the map, and said to everyone:

"Look at our general form now!"

"According to our army's intelligence, Cao Cao is now attacking Tongguan, confronting Li Jue, Guo Si and others!"

"Although it seems that Li Jue, Guo Si and others are not on the same page, after all, the army is strong, so Cao Cao should not be able to fight in a short time!"

"As a result, he is temporarily unable to defend against Nanyang."

"This is our chance!"

"As for the direction of Jingzhou, although Liu Biao appears to be sitting in the seven counties of Jingzhou, but because of the obstruction of the river, his ruling power over the four southern counties is actually very low."

"I heard that Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, is at odds with him. He has a certain prestige in the four southern counties, and we can use it."

"Therefore, the general strategy of our army at present can be divided into three steps!"

"The first step is to make a surprise attack first, destroy the Jingzhou navy, and seize control of the Jingzhou waters!"

"As long as our army can completely destroy this water army, our army will not only be able to move unimpeded, but also be able to divide the entire Jingzhou into three parts!"

"The first part is the four southern counties I mentioned just now, the second part is the large plains dominated by Xiangyang and Jiangling, and the third part is the front line of Xinye Fancheng."

"It can be said that as long as the first part is achieved, we can rely on our army's navy to maintain the supply line and at the same time build an iron wall on the river."

"This iron wall can prevent the enemy's reinforcements from going south!"

"That's why I said that this surprise attack is related to our army's follow-up strategy!"

"As long as the first step cannot be completed and the waters cannot be controlled, our army will fall into a protracted war!"

"Jiang Xia alone can wear us down for several months!"

Listening to Bai Liming's words, everyone looked at the map and thought about the feasibility of the strategy for a moment.

However, Liu Ye is best at strategy, and he just smiled after listening to it:

"It's no wonder that the military division insisted on defeating the Jingzhou navy. In my opinion, the Jingzhou waters are far more prosperous than Jiangdong~〃!"

"Once we can defeat the Jingzhou navy as the military adviser said, then the entire Jingzhou waters will be our world!"

"When the time comes, our army can attack everywhere, so that Liu Biao can't take care of both ends!"

"If we can achieve this first step, our army will win half of this battle!"

Qin Song and Chen Duan listened, stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"If this step can be achieved, our army can indeed gain the upper hand!"

Sun Jian touched his chin with great interest and said:

"What about your second step, Ruo Zhong?"

Bai Liming listened, shook his feather fan and said:

"As for the second step, just as Zi Yang said, we can attack everywhere, but at the same time we have to do two things."

"First, send someone to contact Zhang Xian. Huan Jie under this person's command was once an old official of the lord, and now he is an important minister under Zhang Xian's command."

"Our army can send envoys to explain the interests of Zhang Xian through Huan Jie's introduction, so that he can respond to our army."

"In this way, even if he doesn't send troops to help us, we can guarantee that he won't stab us in the back!"

"And Changsha County is close to Nanjun, and controls the river bank. With him in check, there will be no troops from the direction of Nansi County to go north to help Liu Biao."

"That's a great deal!"

Sun Jian laughed and said:

"If you don't tell Ruo Zhong, I'll forget, this Huan Boxu is really old with me!"

"As for Zhang Xian, he has always been proud. When he was the prefect of Guiyang, he won the hearts of the people. Now he is not in harmony with Liu Biao. Our army knows the righteousness, and this person will definitely respond."

Hearing this, Qin Song laughed and said:

"As soon as the military master made this move, Liu Biao went to half of Jingzhou in an instant!"

"But what about the second thing our army has to do?"

Everyone looked at Bai Liming for a while, and seeing him smiled, he said:

"As for the second thing, the army that our army wants to cross will cross Jiangxia and go straight to the hinterland of Jingzhou to grab food!"

"There are two advantages to doing this. First, our army has already assembled its early-stage troops and has a certain combat power!"

"But our army's food and grass have not yet arrived, so our army has no way to attack with the whole army."

"If we go straight to Nanjun to grab food, our army will be able to stand firm with the food, and we don't need to fight with Jiang Xia's guards!"

"After our army has established a firm foothold, the follow-up army will continue to follow up, so that we can enter Jingzhou first without food."

"As for the second advantage, it is that our army suddenly enters the hinterland of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao will definitely be caught off guard!"

"In order to expel our army as soon as possible, he may even mobilize all the troops around him."

"Even if he is calm enough and chooses to ignore our army's intrusion, our army can still use the convenience of the navy to grab food everywhere!"

"In this way, he can be forced to abandon the city and fight our army quickly!"

"What a wonderful move!"

As soon as Bailiming finished speaking, Liu Ye clapped his hands together, his eyes lit up and said:

"The military master's move of checkers is really hitting a snake seven inches!"

"Usually attacking Jingzhou from Jiangdong has always been to attack Jiangxia!"

"The old man Liu Biao must have deployed heavy troops in Jiangxia. On the contrary, if Jiangxia has more troops, the hinterland of Jingzhou must be empty!"

"He guessed that our army has no food and can't attack aggressively, so our army will go in the opposite direction, enter the hinterland first and gain a firm foothold, and Liu Biao will be caught off guard!"

After Liu Ye finished speaking, Chen Duan smiled again and said:

"Not only that, once our army has gained a firm foothold in the hinterland, and the follow-up troops follow up through the navy, then Jiang Xia will no longer be able to stop our army!"

"Once Liu Biao withdraws, our army's follow-up troops can break through Jiangxia and open up the road!"

Speaking of this, he sighed:

"The military division's first step is half the victory, the second step and the first step complement each other, hitting the enemy's vital point!"

"With these two steps alone, Liu Biao will not be able to stand firmly in Jingzhou!"

While speaking, he looked at Bai Liming with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Whether it is Dahuainan, or Dingjiangdong to attack Yuan Shu, the military division's accomplishments in fighting such a large-scale battle are really unmatched!

Others fight on a county-by-county basis, but the military division never cares about the gains and losses of the land, and every move is to force the enemy to death!

It is to look at the weakness in the overall situation, and kill it with one blow, and never miss it.

As for Sun Jian, he couldn't help nodding for a moment after listening to the two's analysis.

For this kind of grand strategy, Bai Liming basically never missed a move.

The strategy this time is obviously more grand and deadly than the previous blitzkrieg!

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"I expect that if the military master succeeds in these two steps, old Liu Biao will have to prepare for a decisive battle!"

"Then Ruozhong's third step should be to defeat Liu Biao!"

"Exactly!"

Bailiming heard this, smiled slightly and said:

"If our army can succeed in these two steps, Liu Biao has only two choices. First, defend the city and wait for Cao Cao's rescue!"

"At this time, if our army can attack it, it will attack it, and if it cannot attack it, we will surround it for reinforcements!"

"As for his second choice, that is to gather all forces and fight our army!"

"But because the Yangtze River is controlled by our army, if he uses this trick, we can defeat each of them!"

"So, this third step depends on the implementation of the first two steps, and it changes from time to time!"

"In the best case, our army will defeat Liu Biao and Cao Cao at the same time, and go north to Nanyang!"

"The worst case is that our army is blocked in Jiangxia. Even if we attack Jingzhou, it will be a hard battle!"

"Yes, what Ruo Zhong said makes sense!"

Sun Jian couldn't help thinking for a while listening.

Once this strategy is successful, it will take three steps to go to Jingzhou and achieve the quick attack that Bai Liming said!

Once the first step fails, the follow-up will be false!

Thinking of this, he looked at Gan Ning and Zhou Yu and said:

"¨｀ Xingba, Gongjin, you two have confidence!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the tent turned their attention to the two, and the pressure immediately came to Gan Ning and Zhou Yu.
