At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

After all, Zhuge Liang slowly put down another finger, looked at the stunned crowd, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"The last one, guarding Dantu, is also the main force of the army, with a total of 20! If Yangzhou is attacked, the navy army must be the main force! And Zhou Yu, who has sailed along the coast once, must not miss this opportunity this time. I will repeat the same trick and enter Kuaiji County along the coast!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's eyes became brighter and his tone became more and more certain.

"As for our army of 20, [-] will be left to deal with the Guangling navy, and the remaining troops will pursue Zhou Yu! As long as the main force of Zhou Yu's navy is defeated, Yangzhou will be safe! If we return to aid Jiangbei, the Lord's crisis will also come to an end. It will disappear!"

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Shao laughed out loud when he heard the words, the laughter was full of carefreeness and joy.

If Zhuge Liang hadn't said it, then Yuan Shao would have been determined by Liu Yu this time, and their Yuan family would have been completely destroyed.

And Zhuge Liang's strategy, although he lost Jingzhou, he kept their Yuan family, his main force, and Yangzhou.

At the same time, Liu Yu will be severely injured, so that he will not go south in a short time!And Yuan Shao will have plenty of time to recuperate!

"Huh... Mister is really talented! Although he is young, he has far-sightedness, but Chen still has a question, that is, how do you plan to use the remaining [-] troops? Moreover, I am afraid that you have forgotten that Xiangyang is connected to the Huai River. If the enemy enters the Huai River by boat, they can go straight to Shouchun!"

Xun Chen let out a foul breath, stepped forward and said something to Zhuge Liang with admiration, and then asked the question in his heart.

When Zhuge Liang heard the words, there was no slight fluctuation on his face, and he still replied calmly.

"This is also the reason why Liang didn't count the [-] soldiers and horses. The [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Hefei, south of Jiujiang County, and echoed with the lord's army from north to south. "

Xun Chen nodded upon hearing this, as if thinking of something, but opened his mouth without saying a word.

Xun Chen didn't ask, but Yuan Shao couldn't help asking: "In this case, Jiujiang and even Shouchun are indeed safe, but Lujiang County, I'm afraid it will be lost!"

When Zhuge Liang heard the words, he glanced at Yuan Shao, his face was expressionless, and he said in a neither salty nor bland manner.

"If not, does my lord still have the strength to guard Lujiang? If my lord has an army of [-], then Lujiang will not be lost! And the strength of Dantu's troops has also reached its limit. If there is a division of troops, the first to lose, It will be the entire Wu County and Danyang, and the next one will be Jiujiang County where the lord is located!"

Yuan Shao smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and then said with an unnatural expression.

"Those gentry family members can also pool [-] yuan. They have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and can swim."

Zhuge Liang shook his head at Yuan Shao when he heard the words, and said in his mouth.

"If you send 15 family members to guard the Lujiang River, they will only surrender to Liu Yu and become the Lord's enemy! Why don't you send them to Dantu and act as Dantu's defenders. In this way, Liang can lead an army of [-], The chances of winning will be greater!"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and finally nodded in agreement. After all, the success or failure of this battle depends entirely on Zhuge Liang's Jiangdong Jiangnan!

Guo Tu also completely turned off the fire at this time. Although Zhuge Liang was young, he was ten times more talented than him!

Maybe Zhuge Liang is still a little behind in governing the local area, but in terms of strategy and strategic vision, he can't keep up with Zhuge Liang even if he flatters him.

What he doesn't know is that Zhuge Liang's strategic vision is undoubtedly far-reaching, but in terms of governing the local area and government affairs, Guo Tu is far worse.

When everyone looked at Zhuge Liang with different expressions, Yuan Shao slapped his thigh fiercely.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's expression of hesitation disappeared completely, and he only listened to his instructions to everyone.

"Just follow Mr. Zhuge's words! You order to go down immediately, and take away all the property and soldiers and horses that Jingzhou can take away! Burn everything that can't be taken away!"

Everyone stood up when they heard the words, and bowed their hands to Yuan Shao to promise, but Zhuge Liang said something to Yuan Shao at this time.

"My lord, if I burn some things that I can't take away, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the people and the hatred of the people of Jingzhou. It will do us all harm and no benefit! Just take away the belongings and the Jingzhou navy ships. , My lord, please think twice!"

Yuan Shao immediately canceled this decision when he heard the words. Now Yuan Shao is obedient to Zhuge Liang, even more so than Xun Chen back then.

"According to what Mr. Zhuge said, Mr. Zhuge will be the leader in response to the attack from the north this time! You all have to cooperate with Mr. Zhuge, do you hear me clearly?!"

After everyone heard the words, they bowed their hands to Yuan Shao again to make a promise, and then bowed their hands to Zhuge Liang as a signal.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang also smiled at the crowd, showing no arrogance because of his high position.

After Zhuge Liang left the government office, he came to the city of Xiangyang alone, looking to the north.

"Zhou Gongjin, the chess game has already started, and I, Zhuge Liang, have already accepted the move. Come on and attack! Let's see if you, the beautiful Zhou Lang Zhigao, or I, Zhuge Liang, are better?"

Muttering something in his mouth, Zhuge Liang's eyes also became deep. Although his face was a little immature, it didn't affect his wisdom!

"Liu Yu, in your Zhenbei Army, capable people emerge in large numbers. I don't know if the loopholes that Zhuge Liang deliberately left may be discovered by your brains?"

Chapter 492 Lujiang Raiders

"Shouchun is Yuan Shao's headquarters. After Yuan Shao's years of development, Shouchun can be said to be as solid as gold. With the support of Xia Cai Dangtu, it is even more difficult to break through! The 20 troops stationed can resist [-] troops!"

Huang Zhong and Guan Yu kept nodding their heads at Xun You's words, but the two of them didn't interrupt, but continued to wait quietly for Xun You's next words.

"Shouchun is like this, but Yangquan is not like this. Our army is not a navy, but if we are not a navy, we can't take a boat? Our army can go ashore to rest when it is close to Yangquan, and after recharging its strength, attack Yangquan. Why do you still ask the lord for the purpose of the siege ladder, knowing that Jingzhou has no soldiers to guard it!"

Seeing Huang Zhong and Guan Yu looking at him with admiration, Xun You smiled lightly, and then continued,

"When Yangquan is breached, we will continue to take the boat to the Jueshui, follow the Jueshui to the south, and arrive at the foot of the Dabie Mountains! At that time, only the Xunyang army will be left in Lujiang County, but don't forget the two generals. Jiangxia still has another army." Jia Wenhe and General Zhang Liao are here!"

Hearing this, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong exclaimed at the same time: "Attack back and forth, eat Xunyang!"

Hearing this, Xun You nodded with a smile, and then spoke to the two of them.

"It is not necessary to eat the Xunyang garrison. The Xunyang garrison, under pressure from us, will only cross the river and retreat to Hefei! At that time, we will recover Lujiang and enter Danyang, and Jia Xu will go south to Yuzhang County. Nearly half of Yangzhou is in the hands of the lord, I don't know the credit, are the two generals satisfied?"

"call……"

Hearing the words, the two let out a sigh of relief, and bowed their hands to Xun You to express their gratitude.

Huang Zhong was very grateful in his heart, fortunately he brought Xun You here, otherwise, he would have to stop in Xiangyang.

"Mr. Gongda, is it possible for us to enter Jiujiang County directly from Lujiang to attack Shouchun? Or enter Danyang!"

Hearing this, Xun You shook his head with a serious face, and explained to Guan Yu.

"The farther south the Yangtze River goes, the more turbulent the current is. There are high mountains and cliffs on both sides of the river. Most of the boats of Jingzhou's small gentry are Mengchong. It is impossible to cross the Yangtze River. If you want to cross the river, you can only find a port along the Yangtze River!"

Speaking of this, Xun You paused, took a sip of tea, and then continued.

"If you want to enter Danyang, you can only join Mr. Wenhe and make plans! As for Shouchun, someone will naturally attack! This time the army is going out, all generals must know how to cooperate with each other. Our ultimate goal is to capture Jingyang in peace. Yuan Shao, not blindly making meritorious deeds!"

Hearing what Xun You said, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong both stood up and bowed their hands to Xun You with serious faces.

"Mr. Xie Gongda taught! I will know!"

Now that they have occupied Jingzhou, it is already a great achievement. If everything goes well by sending troops to Lujiang, then the credit of Guan Yu and Huang Zhong will also be in the forefront.

If you march blindly, it is likely to destroy the plan of the other army, thus affecting the overall situation.

Immediately, the two got up and walked out of the government office, ordering the soldiers to confiscate the ships.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Xun You stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

As a general, it is good to be utilitarian, but you must not be blind. If you are eager for meritorious service, you may put yourself and others in a situation where there is no end to redemption.

This is also the reason why my lord arranges a military adviser for each army.

At the same time, this is also training each of them, allowing them to compete with each other and cooperate with each other. After all, Liu Yu will expand abroad in the future, and it is impossible to be close to each other in every battle!

Due to the urgency in their hearts, it only took one day for Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to confiscate all the ships from the small gentry's mansion.

Although the ships were not large, they won because of their large numbers. He ordered the lieutenant general to guard Jingzhou with [-] soldiers and horses.

That night, the two ordered the soldiers to take a boat and go down the river from Xiangyang, aiming at Yangquan.

Since most of the soldiers were from the north, after they boarded the ship, they had just traveled a short distance, and the soldiers felt sick in their stomachs and became dizzy.

After traveling for several hours, the soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to support the boat and vomited into the river.

After vomiting for a while, the soldiers felt better, but they still felt weak in limbs.

If it is a large building ship, the soldiers will feel better, but the small ship will fluctuate up and down as long as there is a little wind and waves.

It's really difficult for these soldiers, after all, they are in the north, and there are only a handful of them who are familiar with water, and most of them have never been on a boat.

There are also some soldiers who don't feel any discomfort, just feel that standing on the boat is a bit vain.

It was not the first time for Huang Zhong and Xun You to take a boat, so they didn't feel any discomfort, but Guan Yu's red face turned purple.

After enduring it for several hours, Guan Yu felt more comfortable, and gradually got used to the feeling of floating up and down.

Xiangyang is not close to Yangquan, and after a whole night of boating, they did not reach the vicinity of Yangquan.

At this time, some of the soldiers were about to collapse, so they had no choice but to go to the shore first, rest for two hours, and eat some dried meat when their health improved.

It was not until noon that the soldiers were ordered to board the boat and continue to go to Yangquan.

It was already midnight when they arrived thirty miles away from Yangquan City, and everyone tied up the boat.

Then, by the moonlight, I found a relatively flat place to rest on the spot.

After resting in the middle of the night and resting all morning the next day, the soldiers became active.

After eating, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, together with Xun You, led the army to Yangquan.

Yangquan is a county seat on the border of Yangzhou. It borders Jingzhou in the west and Yuzhou in the north, and the Huai River passes through it.

In such a county, it stands to reason that there should be at least five thousand defenders.

But now Yangzhou's troops have been concentrated in the three most important lines of defense. How can there be extra soldiers and horses left behind in such a small county?

Yangzhou soldiers and horses, compared with Liu Yu, have too few soldiers, and it is unrealistic to deploy defenses everywhere.

The defenders here are only 3000 people. Facing the crazy attack of the northern army of [-] towns, Yangquan was captured in just a few hours.

The capture of Yangquan did not stop Huang Zhong and his men. After they left a thousand soldiers in Yangquan, they moved their boats along a tributary of the Huai River to the south.

Jueshui is a tributary of the Huai River, and its source is at the height of the Dabie Mountains.

The rainwater from the mountains of the Dabie Mountains slowly gathers into rivers and finally flows to the Huai River.

The Dabie Mountain is the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and if you want to reach the foot of the Dabie Mountain smoothly, you have to pass through Yulou City. This city is not as good as Yangquan.

The number of defenders is not as large as that of Yangquan, but they only blocked Huang Zhongjun for two hours.

Regarding this, Huang Zhong felt a little uneasy, because all this seemed to be going too smoothly.

There was a feeling that Yuan Shao had given up on Lujiang County, Huang Zhong couldn't hold back in the end, and asked Xun You.

However, the answer he got was to tell him not to worry, and everything went according to plan.

Hearing what Xun You said, Huang Zhong also suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and continued to march towards the Dabie Mountains.

Chapter 493 Defense Vulnerabilities

In Ruyin, Yuzhou, Cao Cao led an army of 20 and was stationed here, waiting for the opportunity.

Those who came with Cao Cao included Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and Le Jin Five Generals.

As for counselors, Cao Cao still chose Guo Jia and Chen Gong.

The two of them, especially Guo Jia, have been following him all the time, and their resourcefulness is not inferior to anyone else.

As for why Lu Bu came, it was Li Ru who told him that by letting him follow Cao Cao, he would definitely make great contributions!

If not, Lu Bu would have gone south to Yizhou with Jia Xu. Compared with Cao Cao, Lu Bu still believed in Jia Xu.

When Lu Bu found Jia Xu, Jia Xu did exactly what Li Ru said, so Lu Bu listened to the two of them and found Cao Cao.

And Zhang Fei wanted to follow Huang Zhong to attack Jingzhou, but Dian Wei secretly called him home.

On the second day, Zhang Fei changed his mind and followed Lu Bu to find Cao Cao in a stern manner.

In this regard, Lu Bu was also a little helpless with this black servant. In the end, he could only warn Zhang Fei severely, not to take credit with him, and then let the black servant go.

For Lu Bu and others to come to follow him, Cao Cao naturally did not refuse anyone who came, and laughed and invited them into the mansion.

When Zhang Fei entered Cao Cao's mansion, he began to look around. Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to Zhang Fei.

"Is Yide looking for Zhongkang? You don't need to look for it. Zhongkang has been left in Luoyang by the lord, and he and Elai will take turns guarding the lord's side, while cooperating with Jushou to protect Luoyang!"

Zhang Fei was a little disappointed when he heard the words, because they were similar in stature, appearance and temper.

In the past few years, the relationship between Zhang Fei and Xu Chu has heated up sharply, and it is almost impossible to ask for help.

"Huh! Zhongkang, who stayed in Luoyang, can only stare blankly this time. Let me see my old Zhang make great achievements and be promoted to general! However, that is better than Ma Mengqi and Zilong! They actually followed Zhou Yu to Xuzhou , I guess I can’t even drink a mouthful of soup!”
