Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 917
Jiangdong, in Yuzhang territory, in Sun Ce's army camp, tens of thousands of Jiangdong athletes are training in full swing, and the generals in charge of training recruits are also shouting at the top of their voices. For those recruits who are always poorly taught, these Generals go up with a stick, and good soldiers are made by fighting. You have to be beaten before you can beat people.

"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, CALL CALLS MORE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, when you're new to the army, you must train hard, and those who perform well will be given extra meat for lunch." ,,,,,,"

"Bo Fu, they are here." Zhou Yu walked over and said, "Liu Bei led the troops to Changsha, not far from Yuzhang. Zhuge Liang came to discuss with us about the alliance in person. Time is running out. The general has taken down Jingzhou In the north, we must step up our arrangements, otherwise, after the general has rectified the Jingzhou navy, he is very likely to cross the river to fight."

Sun Ce looked at the sky, then looked at the north and said: "It was right not to send troops across the river to support Jingzhou. Huang Zhong led the troops to raid Jingzhou and captured Jiangxia in the first battle. The Yangtze River can be regarded as occupying the sovereignty of the Yangtze River. If our army had already crossed the river at that time, not only might it be dragged on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but it would also be cut off by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

If we want to defeat the Northern Border Army, we can only do so on our territory. We are familiar with the terrain here. Here, the soldiers will be more motivated to defend their homes and land, and the morale of our army will be stronger. Gongjin, the relationship between me and my elder brother In this battle, do you think I have a slight chance of winning. "

"It's hard to say, but we definitely have a chance." Zhou Yu said confidently: "The Northern Frontier Army successively captured Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xiliang, and now Jingzhou. It took less than two years to add up. , Bo Fu, don't you think the speed of the Northern Xinjiang Army is too fast?

Such a swift and violent trend, while confirming the strong combat effectiveness of the Northern Border Army, also shows to a certain extent that the general's movements seem to be ridiculously fast.Whether the aristocratic families in the occupied places will be loyal to the Northern Frontier Army, and whether the incorporated troops will be properly placed are big questions.

Moreover, this time, the Beijiang Army will encounter a completely different battle from before. If they want to cross the river, they must defeat our Jiangdong Navy. The land warfare that the Beijiang Army is best at is temporarily useless. How we defeated the Jingzhou Army, now we will defeat the Northern Army. The Yangtze River is our main battlefield. Don't worry, as long as the Northern Army dares to go south, I am sure that they will fall into the sand. "

Not long after, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came to the big tent. Zhuge Liang was staring at the map in a daze. During this time, Zhuge Liang had traveled to Jiangdong and Jingzhou several times in order to quickly form an alliance with the Jiangdong Army. Before that, he was looking for Sun Quan, now, he is looking for Sun Ce.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time, sir." Sun Ce said after walking in: "The northern border army has captured the northern part of Jingzhou faster than we expected. Now the general is rectifying Jingzhou's troops and horses. In my opinion, how long will it take for the general to appease you?" What about the morale of the army and the people of Jingzhou?"

"It could be two or three months faster, or a few years slower." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Ce and said, "If the general suppresses the local aristocratic family with thunder, then reorganizes the Jingzhou army, and then immediately launches an offensive against Jiangdong and takes Jiangdong in one fell swoop. , there will be no problems with the morale of the army and the people in Jingzhou.

However, if the general adopts a policy of appeasement to the powerful families and generals in Jingzhou, and at the same time strengthens the defense line to guard against you and my army, if he does not plan to cross the river within two or three years, the hearts of the Jingzhou army and the people will gradually return to the general. "

"Which one do you want?"

"The first one, because this is our only chance,,,,,,"

Sun Ce laughed twice and did not speak. He walked to the map and looked at it for a while and said, "I have read this map no less than a thousand times. Gong Jin, sir, you are all very smart people. Come and tell me." , where is the most suitable place for the decisive battle of this war?"

"Chibi,,,,,," Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu said the location of the decisive battle in unison.

"My Jiangdong land and water army adds up to 13. How many troops can Liu Huangshu dispatch?" Sun Ce asked: "You should know how many people there are in the Northern Xinjiang Army now. The disadvantage in terms of strength must be made up for as much as possible, otherwise, we will not even fight back." No chance."

"The northern Xinjiang army went south, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of northern Xinjiang elites." Zhou Yu analyzed: "Except for the soldiers who stayed to guard the occupied cities, the general should have brought 30 people into Jingzhou. After the various places, the Northern Xinjiang Army reorganized the surrendered army, and the surrendered army should be no less than 40 people. The vast majority of Jingzhou soldiers and horses surrendered to the general. In this way, the navy army that the general can call is no less than 20. , the army is probably more than 50."

"The decisive battle must be in Jingchu or Jiangdong. According to the comparison of the strength of the two armies, and referring to the superiority of our army, the Yangtze River must be the final decisive battle between the northern border army and our army." The army has been operating along the Yangtze River since the beginning. No one knows better than us where there are undercurrents and where there are silted rivers, not even the Jingzhou navy. Therefore, our Jiangdong navy occupies an absolute geographical advantage.

The Beijiang army has a fierce reputation, and they have conquered so many territories in such a short period of time. People's hearts are fluctuating. Many aristocratic families are thinking of the old master's kindness, so they must not sincerely serve the general.Moreover, the worst thing the general did was not to kill the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Keeping Cao Cao's life would only be a disaster.The northern army fought one after another. Most of the elite soldiers came from the north. They were not familiar with the water and soil in the south, so the morale of the army was bound to be unstable. On the other hand, in Jiangdong, I was united as one.

The climate along the Yangtze River is volatile. Even the old fishermen who live along the Yangtze River dare not say they are familiar with the climate of the Yangtze River. They can only say that they eat by watching the sky.It is rainy in the south and dry in the north. The soldiers in the north are afraid of heat but not cold, and they are not good at water. Once the weather changes, the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely not adapt, and our soldiers have long been used to it. Hehe, the weather is also in our hands in the hands of the army.

Under such circumstances, even if the difference in strength between our army and the Northern Xinjiang army is too great, our army's chances of winning are still not small. As long as the Northern Xinjiang army dares to cross the river to fight, I will dare to lead the people to meet on the banks of the Yangtze River. "

"Okay, General Polu is so energetic, he deserves to be the little overlord of Jiangdong." Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I came here to discuss with General Polu how to join forces to fight against the enemy. Now it seems that General Polu should have been prepared long ago." , my lord is willing to cooperate with General Polu to resist the Northern Frontier Army."

"If you want to cooperate, you must have sincerity." Sun Ce smiled and said: "I, Jiangdong, have money and strength to contribute, and I hope you will do the same..."
