Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 934 The Battle of Crossing the River 2
Everyone was still discussing in the big tent. Those warlike generals were also looking forward to the battle of crossing the river at this time. Only by continuing the war could they gain more military merit. Only with military merit can they have a chance to be promoted. This principle, Everyone knows that, and the situation is very good during this period, there is no reason for them not to fight.

"The main force of our army is no less than 60." Pang Tong continued to publish his statement: "Jiangdong Army plus Liu Bei's army will not exceed 30 at most, and it is the total number of old, weak, sick and disabled. As long as we find Opportunities force the enemy to fight us decisively, and our army can decide Jiangdong in one battle.

Now Sun Ce and Liu Bei are waiting for us on the other side of the river. This is a good opportunity to eliminate the two enemy forces in one fell swoop.Don't look at the two of them teaming up, but in fact they must have their own ghosts. As long as our army fights hard enough, there will inevitably be problems in the internal alliance. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to solve these two people, no one in the world will be able to stop the Lord, and there will be fewer wars in the future. This is an opportunity once and for all. We have no reason to give up, Lord, please think twice. "

"Shiyuan, you take things for granted." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Jiangdong Navy should not be underestimated. Liu Bei also developed from a downcast to a prince now. It can be said that Sun Ce and Liu Bei are as different as they are now. One is a soft persimmon. They can survive to the present and continue to fight against our army, which is enough to show their strength and ability.

It is true that our army can attack and fight well, but if our army falls into a quagmire because of this war, it will be quite dangerous for our army. Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have not completely surrendered, and many noble families are still in Wait and see, if the war loses a little bit, the rear of our army will be in danger. After all, the foundation of our army, the families of the main soldiers in the army, etc. are all in the north. What we need to do now is to protect the rear and stabilize the front. "

"Mr. Feng Xiao, you have always been bold in making plans, and you have often used your sword to deviate from the front for many years. Which time did you not take a huge risk, but which time did you miscalculate?" Zhengwang, with Mr. Feng Xiao as a strategist who counts as exhaustive, will the enemy have a chance to fight back? Moreover, the question just said by the lord just said that most of our soldiers are from the north, and they don’t know the soil and waters of the south. This is very simple. Some of the elite stepped up to become familiar with water warfare, and it was enough to rely on them to fight the Yangtze River. As for many soldiers who could not stand firmly on the warships, it was difficult for the horses to gallop..."

"It's enough to connect the warships. Anyway, our army has so many ships. As long as the warships are connected to each other, isn't it the same as on land..." Cai Mao said suddenly at this time: "This method, although It’s old-fashioned, but it’s more reliable.”

Most of the generals nodded in agreement after hearing this, and even Guo Jia couldn't find any objection. Obviously, connecting the warships would definitely make those northern soldiers feel much better.

"There may be other reasons for that allusion in history..." Gongsun Xu slowly closed his eyes and thought, "If Cao Cao in history really killed the navy because Pang Tong came to offer a trick, If all the ships were connected together, wouldn't he be too impulsive? No matter how great Pang Tong's reputation is, it would not make Cao Cao, who is suspicious by nature, adopt this strategy for the first time.

Moreover, Cao Cao has so many advisers, they must have thought of this a long time ago. Cao Cao may not understand water warfare, but he is not so stupid that he does not understand anything. That is to say, before Pang Tong offered advice, Cao Cao should be I discussed with my subordinates that otherwise all the warships should be connected together. After all, if this is done, the warships can be stabilized on the river.

Cao Cao must have been hesitating before Pang Tong offered his advice, and Pang Tong's arrival only made Cao Cao firm in his belief.The Battle of Chibi in history is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. No matter how careless Cao Cao is, he will definitely be careful before the battle. Perhaps, in the long river of history, there are too many things to be drowned..."

"Iron chain chains can indeed solve the problem of soldiers not being familiar with warships to a certain extent." Guo Jia also nodded and said: "But that's not the point. The point is that our army doesn't need to attack Jiangdong right now... ,"

"What if the enemy uses fire to attack?" Gongsun Xu suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "If our warships are all connected together, wouldn't the entire army be wiped out?"

"This, my lord is too exaggerated." Pang Tong asked puzzledly: "Our army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there are countless scouts around the camp. My lord, how can the enemy attack with fire? I dare to conclude that the enemy will not even have a chance to approach our army, let alone attack with fire. After crossing the river, how can the Jiangdong army stop our army, my lord, Subordinates,,,,,,"

Gongsun Xu waved his hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Gongsun Xu looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He, you haven't spoken yet. What do you think?"

"I agree with Feng Xiao's words, there is no need for us to have a decisive battle at this time..." Jia Xu opened his half-closed eyes and closed his mouth after saying this. Everyone thought he would It was a long story, but Jia Xu continued to squint her eyes.

"That's right..." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "We don't need to fight at this time. Many of you want to take advantage of this time to cross the river and take Jiangdong, and you all want to have a decisive battle with the Jiangdong army. In fact, Jiangdong also thought so, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to make a comeback.

Xu Rong, Yan Liang, and Zhao Yun wrote to me one after another, urging me to temporarily stop and rest. They also reported to me the situation in Hetao, Xiliang, Yingchuan and other places. , Is attacking Jiangdong really our current main task?No, absolutely not.

The people in the Central Plains have been devastated by war for many years. What is the purpose of occupying Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places? Is it to obtain a dilapidated world?Of course not, if we attack Jiangdong now, the food and grass stockpiled before will probably be squandered. After the war, there may still be a lot of money and food to spend. If our army can't afford so much money and food, then it will be troublesome.

Shi Yuan, I understand your desire to fight, but you should look at this issue from a higher perspective. I decided to temporarily station troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River and not cross the river to attack the east of the Yangtze River. "

"The lord is wise,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my lord is wise,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the lord is wise,..." Gongsun Xu had made up his mind, and even Pang Tong's subordinates in the main battle had to kneel down to take orders at this time, but Gongsun Xu didn't say it dead. He just said that he temporarily stationed troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River. That is to say, it is imperative to attack Jiangdong, but the timing is not right now, and other matters must be resolved before crossing the river. Zhang Fei and others are waiting for Gongsun Xu's next move. Order,,,,,,
