Chapter 649: Clouds Move in All Directions
In Jing Zhaoyin, Shang County, within the county government office, Zhang Jizheng, the general of Zhendong, summoned his military advisor Jia Xu, his nephew Zhang Xiu, and the fierce general Hu Che'er to discuss matters. After everyone sat down, Zhang Ji handed the appeal in his hand to Jia Xu and said: "Commander, please see, this is General Pingdong Sizhoumu's appeal to Yuan. In the opinion of the military advisor, what should we do?"
After Jia Xu took the message and read it, he put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "General, this is a good opportunity. I also ask the general to write to the Grand Master immediately, saying that our army can take this opportunity to send troops to Wuguan to send troops to Nanyang to capture several The city serves as a bridgehead to prepare the army to send troops to Guandong."
When Zhang Ji heard this, he was very happy and said with a smile: "In this case, I will immediately send a letter to the Grand Master, Xiu'er, Hu Che'er, and all the generals will immediately gather their troops and make preparations. We will wait for the Grand Master's imperial edict to arrive. Send troops to Wuguan and quickly arrive at the gate of Wancheng."
"General, no," Jia Xu quickly stopped;
"Why?" Zhang Ji and others asked quickly after hearing this;
"Just prepare the army. Before sending out troops, wait for General Pingdong's army to enter Nanyang before sending out troops. They will capture Wuguan with lightning speed, and then capture Danshui, Nanxiang, and Xixian County. We can then station troops in three cities and wait for the situation in Nanyang to develop. It is not appropriate for our troops to intervene too much in the Nanyang war." Jia Xu said slowly; "However, the young general can lead thousands first. The elite sneaked to Wuguan and waited for the general's military order to capture Wuguan as soon as possible. "
Zhang Ji was not an ordinary general. He immediately understood Jia Xu's intention and turned to Zhang Xiu: "Okay, Xiu'er will do what the military advisor said immediately. Hu Che'er and other generals continued to assemble their troops and prepare for battle. The water in Nanyang It’s too deep. It’s not appropriate for us to intervene vigorously now. We may occupy a bridgehead first and wait until they are almost done fighting, then it depends on the situation.”
"General, take your orders!" Everyone agreed in unison;
Within the territory of Wudang in Nanyang, on the south bank of Mian River, in the Three Musketeers Town, Passionate Sword also held a message in his hand. After reading it, Passionate Sword turned his attention to the NPC in front of him and said: "In my opinion, General Pingdong How should we act in this battle in Nanyang?”
The scribe sitting in front of him is a famous scholar from Jingxiang whom Duqingjian has recently recruited - Yiboji from Yi. Not only is he from Yi, Duqingjian also recruited a general a few months ago. Historically, Yan Ming, a fierce general under Cao Cao, was the last general picked out by Zhao Yun at Changbanpo. In fact, from the data point of view, Yan Ming's strength is still very strong, with a force value of 85, but the data in other aspects make people a little anxious.
However, fortunately, this kind of general is used to rush into battle. In terms of commanding the army, Bo Hua can fully meet the requirements of Qingqingjian.
Facing his lord's inquiry, Yi Jisi thought deeply and said, "General Hou's occupation of Nanyang was originally an illegal move. As far as I know, Liu Jingzhou has been dissatisfied for a long time. However, General Hou has strong troops. Although Liu Jingzhou wants to They took back Nanyang, but they were unable to do so. They invaded Luoyang before and after the war, but the whole army was destroyed, and only the generals of Ji Ling were spared."
"Subsequently, General Hou transferred elite soldiers from each city back to Wancheng. Now, almost all the soldiers and horses in the counties under Nanyang are newly recruited soldiers and horses, and their combat power can be imagined. This time, General Pingdong's troops entered Nanyang, and with my See, the general will probably send troops back to defend Wancheng again."
"So, in my opinion, our army can wait for an opportunity to take down this place, and then send people to Xiangyang to request to be attached to Liu Jingzhou's tail wing. At the same time, for safety reasons, after taking down Wudang, our army can take down this place."
After saying that, Yi Ji pointed his finger at Wudu Township in the southeast of Wudang. This is a large township territory. Although it is not big, it is the fortress between Wudang and Zhuyang. When Qingqingjian saw this, he immediately understood what Yi Ji meant. , because he was afraid that Liu Biao would not agree with Xiangyang, so he controlled this place as a barrier to Wudang.
After several years of development, San Musketeer Town has become a large town with three middle towns and the territory of nearly ten villages and towns. After the accumulation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the subsequent containment of the Nanyang Yellow Turbans several times, the current population has reached nearly five Thousands of people.
The strength of the troops reached five to six thousand.
Excluding the garrison troops in various villages and towns, the number of soldiers that can be dispatched is about 4,000, including 3,000 elites trained by Bo Hua and Yan Ming. If you add the players' soldiers and horses, there should be about 10,000 soldiers and horses that can be dispatched at one time.
At this time, in Wudang County, after several deployments by Wancheng, there were only less than 4,000 soldiers and horses, including about a thousand elites. The rest were not even as good as the ordinary soldiers and horses of Three Musketeers Town. It can be said that the defensive strength was already very high. Weakened. This time Huangfu Chaobo sent troops to Nanyang. With Yuan Shu's urine, it is estimated that troops and horses will be mobilized from various counties again, so this is the opportunity Yi Ji mentioned.
After listening to Yi Ji's words, Duoqingjian quickly agreed to his plan, but for safety reasons, Duoqingjian once again ordered the recruitment of two thousand troops in the territory to defend the territory, and also increased the number of troops sent to five thousand. After everything is ready, just wait for the war in Nanyang to break out.
At the same time, in Xiangyang City and Jingzhou Prefectural Mufu, Liu Biao also gathered people to discuss matters. No one would not be interested in the most prosperous county in Jingzhou. However, at the beginning, Liu Biao was busy reorganizing and taking charge of the Nanjun and Jiangxia lands, and had no time or energy to manage Nanyang. After he settled down, he realized that Yuan Shu has already taken root there.
Now that someone has taken the lead and is preparing to beat Yuan Shu, how can Liu Biao not see the opportunity here. So, another army is preparing. Under the planning of the Kuai brothers and the Cai brothers, Liu Biao finally decided to send troops to Nanyang at the right time, at least occupy the county town of Xinye, and let the defense line in the north of Xiangyang move northward by more than a mile, so that the safety of Xiangyang will be more guaranteed.
Another point is that there are more than ten county towns from Xinye to Xiangyang in the south. If these county towns can be controlled by the governor's office, it will be enough to greatly enhance Liu Biao's own strength.
If Yuan Shu, the rear general of Wan County, knew that the surrounding princes were interested in his Nanyang, I wonder if he would vomit three liters of blood. However, the rear general did not know about this at this time, and was concentrating on dealing with the upcoming Sizhou army.
As Jia Xu and others had expected, Yuan Shu once again drew troops from the surrounding counties to defend Wancheng. Seeing that his subordinates had once again concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops, Yuan Shu was ready to resist the enemy outside the country's borders and block Huangfu Chaobo's Sizhou army between Luyang and Zhixian. However, his generals were still afraid of the strength of the Sizhou army. Even his number one general Ji Ling said that his soldiers were far inferior to the Sizhou army. So in the end Yuan Shu had to abandon the plan of fighting outside the city.
