Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 209
It is no problem for Samoko to calculate the furs of the tribe's tribute, but it is really difficult for him to involve such a complicated algorithm.

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "If you can stick to it for a few days, as long as I can complete the follow-up deployment, you and General Gao will lead [-] troops to station on the north bank of Moon Bay. The remaining [-] barbarian soldiers and all the ships will be left for General Kim and I will take command."

"Wei." Shamoke cupped his fists and accepted the order.

He thought it was easier to obey orders than to use his brain. Both Gao Shun and Gan Ningna were better than himself, so it would be no problem to obey their arrangements.

"Where is the specific station, and how to stop it?" Gao Shun is too familiar with Lantian's character, and everything has been mysterious since he came to Bushan. He guessed that he and Shamoke were not simply resisting the enemy.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "Try to camp on the west side of the river, as long as you can clearly see the semaphore on the other side of the mountain. Your task is to stick to the north bank and not allow Jiangdong's cavalry to move forward."

The mountains on the south bank are condescending, and as long as he uses the semaphore invented by Lantian, he can know everything about the enemy army on the north bank. In this way, Gao Shun is like playing a landlord, and can see all the cards of the opponent.

"What if I can break through the enemy formation?" Gao Shun asked again.

"A small victory is not a big victory." Lan Tian said mysteriously.

"Why?" Gao Shun was puzzled.

Lan Tian explained: "Jiangdong's soldiers and horses need to contain Cao Cao in the Yangtze River. If the main force of the opponent is really drawn to Jiaozhou, Cao Cao's attention will be completely attracted to Jingzhou. Now we are not capable of fighting the Northern Army alone."

Gao Shun nodded quickly when he heard this, "Mr. is still considerate, I promise to complete the task."

After Sha Moke and Gao Shun took the order to leave, Lai Gong asked: "General Lan, didn't Wu Sihei say that there will be reinforcements in the east of the Yangtze River? Besides, there are still [-] soldiers on the building, and we only have [-] sailors left to stop us." Can you live?"

"This is Lu Fan's intimidation trick. General Gan is familiar with Jiangdong navy warships. Lu Meng's building ships stationed in Guangxin can only transport more than a thousand troops. You don't have to worry about their navy at all." Lan Tian comforted.

"After all, Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of elites with his [-] sailors. The general still cannot underestimate the enemy. If he loses, Yu Lin will be in danger." Lai Gong was still worried.

"Don't worry, Inspector Lai, I will let Lu Meng abandon the ship and go ashore."

When Lai Gong nodded, Gan Ning couldn't help asking: "Sir, how is Wu Siding doing in Jiaozhi? If Shi Xie blocks Lu Meng's retreat from the lower reaches of the Yu River, we will definitely win a big victory."

Lan Tian shook his head and said: "The Shi family endured humiliation in Lingnan for the benefit of the family. The former Nanhai prefect Shi Wu died inexplicably. Instead of raising troops to avenge Shi Xie, he sent his son Shi Qian to Jiangdong with tribute. Sun Quan played his left hand to appease him. General, it is absolutely impossible for them to send troops."

"Shi Xie refused Cao Cao to join Sun Quan, will they send troops to cooperate with Lu Meng to attack the southern part of Yulin?" Lai Gong didn't know the news of Shi Xie's entrustment, so he was quite shocked when he heard it.

In Lan Tian's memory, Shi Xie was an extremely capable person. The average life expectancy of the Three Kingdoms was only 30 years old, but this guy lived to be 90 years old in the end. Apart from his own longevity, several brothers lived long lives.

After listening to Lai Gong's analysis, Lan Tian said with a smile: "You can rest assured on this point. Shi Xie can pay tribute and become a vassal, but it is impossible to let him send troops. Besides, war is the extension of politics. If you want to get this guy Help, at least we have to show our due strength."

Lai Gong nodded and said: "Since there is no restraint from Shi Xie, with General Lan's strategizing, General Gan and General Gao's deployment of troops, I am very confident in this battle."

"Inspector Lai will understand what you are like after a long time. We may not be opponents of each other, but we will never suffer in a war." Gan Ning shook his head and smiled.

Lan Tian ordered: "Inspector Lai leads more than a thousand sailors to Moon Bay. Once the beacon signal is lit on the South Peak, he will immediately ask the fleet to move out of the middle waterway. When the time comes, I will have a clever plan to destroy Lu Meng's big ship."

"Wei." Lai Gong also clasped his fists and left.

"Xingba, you first dispatch a hundred fishing boats. The fishing boats must be filled with firewood and poured with tung oil, and then sail to the Gaoshun camp and stand by two miles away. As long as you see the beacon fire burning along the river, you will first send two Ten fishing boats sailed towards Moon Bay, and when they approached the enemy ships, they set fire to the boats and charged towards the enemy line, if the fire boats blocked the way, it would be easy for Lu Meng's water army to break through." Lan Tian continued to order.

"Sir, do you really want to destroy the enemy with a fireboat? In the past, Zhou Yu burned Cao Ying in Wulin because of the right time, place and people. The southerly wind blows in the Moon Bay area in summer, but the wind is blocked by the mountains on the south bank. The wind on the river is basically strong." Weak, if there is no wind to help the fire will be difficult to continue," Gan Ning analyzed.

Lan Tian shook his finger, "We are in the upper reaches of Yushui, and the river is soaring at this time of year, even without the help of the southeast wind like Zhou Lang, the fire boat can still rush towards the enemy's line, and the terrain of Moon Bay is narrow, as long as the fire is on the opposite side There will be great chaos, advancing and retreating in the river is not as easy as on land."

Gan Ning suddenly realized, and quickly said aloud.

Hundreds of Jiangdong fleets came in and out. Once they panicked in Moon Bay, the warships would block the river if they turned the rudder at will.

"If that's the case, why did you send twenty boats? Chief Sha brought hundreds of fishing boats here." Gan Ning asked curiously.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "If you are not in charge, you don't know how much firewood and rice are. We need to know how to keep flowing, and we don't know how many ships we can burn each other. If we burn our own ships at once, and Jiangdong's warships are not all burned, what will they do next time they come back?" response?"

Gan Ning scratched his head and said, "Isn't there a Mr. in charge, I will burn as many boats as you say."

Lan Tian nodded, "You act according to the orders of the beacon fire and semaphore, and only send [-] fire boats at a time."

"Wei." Gan Ning accepted the order with cupped fists.

After everyone in the hall had left, Lan Tian stared at the sand table obsessively.

It was the first time for him to command such a complicated military operation, which required the coordination and cooperation of all departments strictly according to the instructions. Fortunately, Gan Ning and Gao Shunyu were well-mannered, and he was waiting for the actual combat to test his engraving of Zhou Yu's Battle of Chibi.

Both "Wei Liaozi" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" are programmatic military books. No battle can be copied indiscriminately. Tactics must be arranged according to local conditions and actual conditions.

Previously, when the leading army attacked Yiling, Gao Shun and Gan Ning commanded alone, or the two jointly formulated tactics. Lan Tian only talked with the two in the martial arts hall. He directly admired him and threw himself to the ground.

This time Lantian went south to Jiaozhou to deal with the Jiangdong army. Both Gan Ning and Gao Shun had great trust in his tactics.

Lantian's grand strategic layout is unparalleled in Liu Bei's camp.

Both sides are ready.

The next morning, Lu Meng led the Jiangdong navy to Moon Bay.
