Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 405 War in the South 2
Ji Ling and the others have held their breath during this period of time, and it didn't take much effort when they fought Huainan a while ago.After all, Yuan Shu was the eldest son of the Yuan family, and with the prestige of the Yuan family, there was no need to fight at all in many cases.

The aristocratic families in Huainan all surrendered the city, which is regarded as the recognition of Yuan Shu. In other words, Ji Ling and the others did not gain much military exploits. Therefore, when Yuan Shu proposed how to deal with Jingzhou's rude behavior, as Yuan Shu's first Ji Ling, a general, immediately stood up and asked for a fight.

Ji Ling is like this, not to mention other generals. Everyone under Yuan Shao's command, Chen Lan, Chen Ji and others are also eager to fight. Only on the battlefield can their value be reflected, and only on the battlefield can they get what they want everything.

However, Yuan Shu is not a reckless man. He is very clear about the war. It is not easy to fight. These generals want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. This is a good thing, but as the lord Yuan Shu couldn't think like them.

At this time, Yuan Shu understood that what he needed was to listen to the ideas of the counselors. In fact, Yuan Shu was quite reliable in his work. After all, he was in the early stage of starting a business. If he was not careful, his great career might die in the cradle bingo.

"Jingzhou is so arrogant, and there is no one in Liu Biao's eyes. This battle is definitely going to be fought. I am very happy that you have this passion, but now, I want to know how to fight this battle. You all talk about it." Yuan Shu looked at everyone. Said: "Jingzhou has a vast land and rich resources, and it is not easy to gain benefits from Liu Biao. At that time, don't lose all the background we have accumulated so hard."

The generals were all silent when they heard this. They were really excited just now. Even Ji Ling just wanted to lead the troops to conquer Jingzhou, but now that Yuan Shu said this, he also realized the meaning behind it. difficulty.

After a while, Yan Xiang stood up and persuaded: "My lord, soldiers are the country's sharp weapon. Our army is not strong enough now, and I am afraid it is not enough to face Jingzhou alone. If we rush to go, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss..."

"Master Yan, Liu Biao is too arrogant. If we can't teach Liu Biao a lesson this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Huainan in the future, let alone win Yangzhou and Yuzhou in Huainan." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "I I know what you mean, our army is really not allowed to mobilize troops now, but Liu Biao forced me to do so, so I have to do it."

"Your lord, I also think that Liu Biao is too presumptuous." Yan Xiang explained: "It's not that I don't support sending troops, it's just that the strength and background of our army are indeed much worse than those of Jingzhou. What I mean is that our army It is not advisable to go to war.

Besides, the Jingzhou navy is so sharp that it is almost the best in the world, and our army is good at army, so it is difficult to restrain the Jingzhou navy.If our army is dispatched less, it may not be enough to attract Jingzhou's attention, and it will be difficult to threaten Jingzhou, but if it is dispatched more, our army's logistics will definitely be under great pressure.

Besides, my lord, if more than [-] troops are dispatched, the construction of the racecourse that my lord cares about most may have to be suspended. After all, our army cannot support such a large expenditure now, so what I mean is that we must send troops, but we cannot Sending too many troops should at least be within the logistical range of our army. "

"However, didn't the Lord Registrar just say that the small number of troops is not enough to shake Jingzhou?" Ji Ling questioned: "Since it can't shake Jingzhou, it has no effect, so it's better not to send troops."

Yuan Shu nodded. He also had this question in his mind. In fact, when he brought up this topic just now, he also considered it, but he didn't consider it so carefully. Now that someone raised it, it happened to be discussed together.

"No, no, sending less troops may not be ineffective." Yan Xiang said slowly: "Jingzhou is indeed a giant, but there is no need for us to face this giant alone. He Liu Biao occupies the wealthy Jingzhou. Does anyone else Aren't you jealous? Besides, Liu Biao has many enemies, so why don't you call on all heroes to challenge Liu Biao."

"Oh? So? Hehe, interesting, interesting, you continue to talk." Yuan Shu said with a smile: "I seem to understand a little bit."

Of course Yuan Shu was happy to find a way to make Liu Biao suffer. Moreover, as long as he planned well, he might be able to make a lot of money.

"Sun Jian in the east of the Yangtze River has a deadly feud with Liu Biao, and he has fought against Liu Biao many times before. Moreover, the navy under Sun Jian's command is more elite than the Jingzhou navy, and he seldom loses in the battle with the Jingzhou navy. The Jingzhou navy has the advantage of being large and powerful, and Sun Jian may have already vomited blood from Liu Biao.

Furthermore, Sun Jian is the lord's general, and the lord has the right to dispatch him, but this person has always been against the lord's yin and yang, obeying orders and not listening to orders, if he is not allowed to make great profits, I am afraid it will be difficult to transfer. "Yan Xiang explained: "Sun Jian will definitely become the number one support of our army. If he sends troops, Liu Biao will probably have a headache.

In addition, there is Cao Cao. This person does not have his own territory yet, and his strength is even worse than that of the lord. Back home, this person has always been very ambitious. I am afraid that what he wants now is the whole of Yanzhou, but there has been no suitable opportunity.

Yanzhou is in chaos now. Cao Cao is short of food and grass, so he cannot go to war. The difficulties he faces are similar to ours. My lord can write a letter to invite Cao Cao to send troops to contain Nanyang area in the north of Jingzhou. This will make Liu Biao useless.

Both of these two are heroes of the times, if they can send troops at the same time, the lord can launch an army to attack Liu Biao. Moreover, I believe that as long as these two send troops, and our army contacts some other small forces, the lord will definitely be able to win from Liu Biao. Big deal.

If only one of these two sent troops, the lord would be invincible. However, if both of them refused to send troops, then the lord would have to think twice. Fighting together is no joke. Time is too much to save the family property will be consumed. "

After listening to Yan Xiang's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. Yan Xiang's analysis was indeed very clear, at least everyone now understands their own weaknesses.Yuan Shu is not mediocre, he also understands the key to this battle.

After a while, Yuan Shu suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, good, good, Yan Xiang, you are right, if these two people send troops, our army will definitely win a big victory, I am not sure about Cao Cao's side yet." Well, this guy has always been unprofitable, and maybe he won't be with us even if he wants to send troops.

However, on the side of Sun Jian in Jiangdong, I am sure to persuade him to send troops. Since the end of the alliance, Sun Jian and Liu Biao have formed a deadly feud. At the beginning, Sun Jian even almost died at the hands of Liu Biao. With Sun Jian's character, If this kind of hatred is not reported, the evil spirit in his chest will be difficult to calm down.

Furthermore, Sun Jian's ambition is indeed not small, and he will not let go of this big piece of fat in Jingzhou.What's more, when we formed the alliance, Sun Jian was my subordinate. I have helped him many times. Generally speaking, I have been kind to him. Based on the above points, I think it is not difficult to persuade Sun Jian to send troops.

However, Jingzhou has a profound background, and Sun Jian can only contain part of the Jingzhou navy. If our army wants to fight this battle without consuming savings, how many troops should we send out? "

Yan Xiang slowly raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers and said: "[-], my lord, you can only dispatch an army of [-] at most, if there are more, I'm afraid the gain will outweigh the loss."

Yuan Shu nodded. After pondering for a while, he looked at Ji Ling and asked, "Ji Ling, I'll give you [-] elite soldiers, so you can be sure to win this battle."

"The final general has seven levels of confidence." Ji Ling replied solemnly: "The Jingzhou navy is indeed sharp, but the final general will not chase after his navy, as long as he is on land, the Jingzhou navy is nothing to fear. "

"That's right, as long as you land on the shore, the Jingzhou navy has nothing to fear." Yuan Shu clapped his hands and applauded, "Ji Ling, tell me, just ask if you have any requirements, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"At the end of the day, [-] troops are enough to deal with the Yiyang defenders, but at the end of the day, I beg my lord to transfer [-] cavalry to me." Ji Ling said seriously: "Jingzhou has no organized cavalry. , caught him off guard."

"Four thousand? This accounts for almost half of our army's current cavalry. How about it? I'll give you three thousand elite cavalry and another two thousand pack horses. Do you have any opinions?"

"No, with [-] elite cavalry, the Jingzhou army will suffer untold hardships."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll write to Sun Jian now, Jiangdong is closer to Jingzhou, if he sends troops, Jingzhou will be shocked, hahaha,,,,,,"

Two days later, Sun Jian received a letter from Yuan Shu.For Sun Jian now, Yuan Shu is his immediate boss, and Yuan Shu's orders are still very important. In addition, Yuan Shu also helped him during this period, so Sun Jian still attaches great importance to the letter sent by Yuan Shu. of.

After carefully reading the letter, Sun Jian immediately understood what Yuan Shu meant, but he also felt that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

When they heard that they were going to attack Jingzhou again, Sun Jian's civil servants and generals were all excited. However, when they learned that it was Yuan Shu's letter inviting Sun Jian to send troops to attack Jingzhou, several people in the tent fell into deep thought.

Sun Jian's intentions were obvious. He had been preparing to attack Jingzhou for a long time. During this time, the army had almost rested. Now is a good time to send troops. Yuan Shu just came to invite him. Sun Jian planned to take this opportunity to send troops again.

However, Cheng Pu, the number one general under Sun Jian's command, stood up and objected. His meaning was obvious. Jingzhou would have to fight sooner or later, but Yuan Shu was unreliable. Besides, Yuan Shu would not be so kind. conspiracy.

However, Sun Jian's meaning was also very clear. He planned to attack Jingzhou. Even without Yuan Shu's letter, he would have sent troops. Attacking Jingzhou was revenge, and Sun Jian had no intention of counting on Yuan Shu at all.

As for the conspiracy, Sun Jian felt that Yuan Shu would not plot against him. After all, he was Yuan Shu's subordinate, and Yuan Shu would not be so stupid as to destroy himself. After repeated discussions, they finally reached an agreement to send troops.

The Jiangdong Tigers are finally about to embark on the road of revenge again.
