three kings

Chapter 193

Jingzhou government office, meeting hall.

"Who knows Sun Can's real intention?" Liu Biao asked weakly while sitting on the big chair.

According to common sense, Xiangyang is located in the center of Jingzhou, and it is the most noteworthy place in Jingzhou, and it is also the treasure land with the strongest strategic significance.As long as Xiangyang is captured, Jingzhou will be terrified, and there will be countless people who will surrender in anticipation.Therefore, the entire army believed that Xiangyang was Sun Can's first attack point.

Therefore, long before Sun Can's future, they began to strengthen the city walls and repair the city towers to prepare for the protracted war in the future.

However, they never imagined that Sun Can had no intention of attacking Xiangyang, and rushed to the south in a big way, with unknown intentions.

"Oh!" Xu Shu, who was standing next to Liu Bei, sighed a long time. The thing he was most worried about happened all the time. Sun Can is indeed very comparable, and he always uses the best and most effective way to solve things, and he is not procrastinating at all. .But why did he go south with such great fanfare?Wouldn't it be better to use Qi?
Two questions kept flashing in his mind.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, what's your opinion," Liu Biao asked worriedly after hearing Xu Shu's long sigh.

"Returning to my lord, Sun Can may not have the heart to attack Xiangyang. According to the current situation, it is very likely that Sun Can will take the unification of Jingbei as his strategic goal, first conquer Nanjun, and then attack the four places, and bring Jingbei into his hands so as to isolate Xiangyang. Cutting off all sources of material and news in Xiangyang, after a long time, our army will be panicked, so as to achieve the effect of fighting without bloodshed." When Xu Shu explained Sun Can's intentions, the surrounding civil and military ministers took a breath.

"Can you send a large army to quietly leave the city before Sun Can takes down Nanjun, and secretly write a book in Kuaiyue, Nanjun, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to attack and our army will use the front and rear pincers to win one game first and praise us?" Military prestige?" Kuai Liang suggested.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "If Sun Can walks quietly, this method may work. But Sun Can walks so openly, it makes people feel like luring the enemy."

"This..." Kuai Liang had nothing to say, Xu Shu's analysis was very correct and reasonable.

"Then what should our army do?" Liu Biao found that the current situation was beyond his control, and his tone was full of anxiety, regretting that he did not listen to Liu Bei and Xu Shu's method of retreating to Jingnan and using the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist the enemy.

"Wait and see what happens, and send troops until the opportunity is ripe." Xu Shu said helplessly. The situation is too complicated now. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Once attacked again, Xiangyang will be in danger.When you don't have a lot of confidence, you really can't attack rashly.

After a pause, Xu Shu said: "The way to use troops is to do anything. Sun Can's army has many weird and ruthless people like Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and they should make a big fuss about the current situation in the city. Shu I feel that it is necessary to restrict the activities of the people, and send generals to patrol around. If there are rumors, immediately arrest the person who is rumored, and investigate the root cause and investigate the source of the news.”

Xu Huang's camp and Jia Xu's camp.

"You mean that the security in Xiangyang City has been strengthened, and the rumors have been isolated and cracked down. It is difficult for the rumors to spread?" Jia Xu looked at a middle-aged man in front of him with a normal expression.

"Yes! Six spies who sneaked into Xiangyang have been arrested, and they were executed in public at the gate of the government office, and their bodies are still hanging on the city wall!" The middle-aged man replied in awe in front of Jia Xu, bowing his head.

"What a Xu Yuanzhi, he has already made preparations. Hanging the corpse on the city wall? Is this a demonstration against me?" Jia Xu guessed right away who had seen through his good plan, but he didn't because of this. While distressed, he still showed a slight smile, "Okay, you can go down."

After the middle-aged man left, Jia Xu played with a piece of dark ancient jade in his hand, and said to Jia Fu: "Old Fu, tell those little guys in Xiangyang City to incite the people and create rumors." The guy is a member of the Poison Camp in Xiangyang City.

Jia Xu smiled strangely, and said to himself: "Xu Yuanzhi, Xu Yuanzhi, do you know that the actions of my lord and I are all artificial, in order to attract your attention, so that Zhang Cheng can carry out the plan safely.

However, you have to be careful, you are also the key to this plan. Although you have no vision, you are a rare genius in the world for seeing people and making strategies.If it can be used by the lord, it must be one step closer to the day when the lord is the emperor, and the day when I, Jia Xu, will enjoy happiness will come one step earlier. "

************
Nanjun government office, meeting hall.

"My lord, Sun Can divided his troops into four groups and captured Yiling, Xiling, Jingling, and Beggar Yang, and completely cut off all information about Xiangyang." Tanma told Kuai Yue the news he might have found.

"My lord, what's Sun Can's intention?" a lieutenant asked.

Kuai Yue closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then he said in amazement: "Isolate all news and create chaos with gossip, so Xiangyang is in danger. What a Sun Can, he is playing tricks." After thinking for a moment, he asked urgently: " How is Sun Can's strength?"

"A total of 4 people, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu each led [-] troops to occupy Yiling and Xiling. Li Tong and Liao Hua also led [-] troops each to attack Jingling and Gaiyang. Sun Can's army stationed at Hulukou also had [-] troops .”

"[-]?" Kuai Yue frowned. Even if Sun Can dispersed his troops and controlled the fortress going to Xiangyang, his [-] soldiers would not be able to break through Sun Can's [-].Get some reinforcements from somewhere.By the way, Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu still has [-] soldiers under his command. In order to prevent Sun Ce, he was unable to participate in the battle with Sun Can.Now, Sun Ce is using him when he is attacking Liu Yao.

He and the lord are close friends, so they should not ignore things.

The letter was sent to Jiangxia.

Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, summoned his soldiers to discuss the matter.

"General, Mr. Zhou Mu is in a dire situation. As a subject, he should do his best to rescue him." Su Fei, the always upright and selfless governor, immediately expressed his opinion.

"The public is the minister, and the state herdsman is the master. If the master is in trouble, but the minister does not save him, he will be cast aside by the people of the world." Pang Ji, the counselor, was also persuading Huang Zu to send troops.

At this time, a meteor scout suddenly came to report, saying: "General, Zhang Fei under Sun Can's command attacked the Hanyang water village by surprise. None of the [-] soldiers in the village was immune. General Huang Shao also died under Zhang Fei's spear."

"What?" Huang Zu suddenly felt that there was a thunderbolt in the sunny sky, and his mind went blank. Huang Liang was Huang Zu's only son.At the age of joining the army, Huang Liang wanted to go to the battlefield.Fearing that Huang Liang would be harmed, Huang Zu asked him to be stationed in Hanyang Shuizhai to provide logistics resources for Huang Zu's army.

However, he unexpectedly died at the hands of Zhang Fei.

"Little Zhang Fei, you cut off my heir, I'll never end with you." Huang Zu gritted his teeth, his face turned blue with anger, and his whole body trembled, "Go ahead and send [-] troops to attack Hanyang."

Then, Huang Zu said: "Su Fei, you are specially appointed as the vanguard to inspect Zhang Fei's reality."

Su Fei clasped his fists to accept the order, and then said: "The general has a request at the end, please allow the general."

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Huang Zu said coldly.

"At the end of the day, there will be a friend whose surname is Gan, whose name is Ning, and whose style name is Xingba. He is brave, intelligent, courageous and resourceful. He has both civil and military skills. He is the talent of a general. I would like to advise him to him." Su Fei recommended his friend Gan Ning to Huang Zu .

"Jinfan bandit from Berkshire?" Huang Zu frowned, and said displeasedly, "I'm not a den of bandits here, why take in bandits?"

Su Fei said anxiously: "That's a thing of the past, Gan Ning is indeed a talent. His ability is far above that of a general, please choose your talent and use it."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Huang Zuxin lost his beloved son, feeling very irritable, unwilling to argue with Su Fei on this trivial matter, and said impatiently: "Since you said he is talented, you can Use it, let him be your lieutenant general."

"Hey!" Su Fei sighed, and said helplessly, "The last general takes orders."

*********
Hanyang Water Village.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, "That's right, how can the soldiers under Liu Biao's command compare with Old Zhang's. No, the entire army killed by my Old Zhang was wiped out in just one surprise attack. I killed a small one this time, wait for him Old Zhang is beheading that old man. Just by looking at that guy, you can tell what the talkative guy has to say." A victory showed Zhang Fei's character weakness again.

"General, don't be careless! My lord said that although Huang Zu is not a general, he is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. He should not be underestimated." The deputy general Zang Ba calmly reminded.

"Haha!" Zhang Fei patted Zang Ba's shoulder and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Xuan Gao doesn't need to worry about it. When Huang Zu came to attack, Fei naturally wouldn't be careless. But today, the Hanyang water fortress has just been broken, how can the opponent be so fast? Why don't you accompany him?" I will drink a few cups, and when Huang Zu arrives tomorrow, I will have the energy to defeat the enemy."

Tibetan Ba ​​frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "When the two armies are fighting, how can we allow another trace of underestimating the enemy. Any mistakes may cause unnecessary losses. As a general, if you don't love soldiers, how can soldiers be close? Love the general, and serve the general wholeheartedly. An army, if the soldiers don't die, how can it be called a steel army.

The soldiers under the general's command, although all of them can be called elite.But compared to the tyranny of the 'Trapped Camp', the rigor of the 'Leopard Camp', and the unity of the 'Ranging Camp', 'Wolf Riding Camp', and 'Eagle Riding Camp', isn't it?If the general is like this, he treats the soldiers lightly, only knows how to train them, but does not know how to appease them. 'Sharp Gun Battalion' never want to become what the Iron Army. "

Although Zang Ba was born as a bandit, he is also familiar with the art of war and strategic strategy. He is a rare general, but he has never been reused by Lu Bu.In addition, he himself is very loyal, seeing that Zhang Fei often neglected the soldiers, he couldn't help but lecture him.

"I didn't expect you to underestimate me. Huh, I don't believe it, because I can't take Huang Zu's head off alone." Zhang Fei was already angry because of Guo Jia's ridicule, but now seeing the deputy general Zang Ba also teaching him, he underestimated With him, that fiery temper rushed again.

"You... are unreasonable!" Zang Ba also rushed out angrily.
