Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

The scene was dead silent for a moment, and Liu Bei expressed his doubts.

Lu Su patted his head and said with a smile:"I didn't make it clear. It's not that I want to completely withdraw from Jiangxia, but that I want to retreat to the other side of the Yangtze River."

"E County, Shaxian and other county towns in Jiangxia are all on the other side of the Yangtze River. You can retreat here. It is best to be stationed in Xiakou.

This is where the Han River flows into the Yangtze River. Troops can be stationed at Xiakou, Hanyang, and Shiyang to protect Lujiang County from the Changshan Army!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized after hearing this, but he still looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu looked at the terrain map and nodded and said:"The area around Xiakou can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. It is indeed a strategic location.

However, we need to send heavy troops to defend the nearby Red Cliff, where the water flow is relatively gentle. If there is a loss on the other side of the Yangtze River, we can prevent the Changshan Army from crossing the river here and giving us a surprise attack."

Xu Shu, the military advisor's approval, finally made Liu Bei feel relieved, and he immediately ordered people to prepare to withdraw his troops from Xiling, Jiangxia, and Xiakou.

Lu Su said with a smile:

"Due to terrain problems here in Chibi, the water flow is indeed gentler than in other areas of the Yangtze River.

However, if the Changshan Army wants to attack in Chibi, it will need to capture most of the county towns of Nanyang in Jingzhou and Jiangxia on the other side of the Yangtze River.

They have just fought with our Jiangdong Army, and the strategic route will not be laid for that long. Moreover, if the troops are divided into battles, not to mention the dispersion of troops, it is difficult to guarantee the logistic support alone.

If my prediction is correct, they will lead their troops to defend Lujiang County, mainly to frighten Jingzhou. Their first goal is to deal with me in Jiangdong first.

According to Gong Jin, the navy under the Changshan Army is very powerful. I believe Xuande has heard about it?"

Lu Su said this, and Liu, Guan, and Zhang nodded repeatedly.

They had experienced the Battle of Guandu and had seen with their own eyes the power of the Changshan Navy and its battleship equipment!

It is indeed very powerful!

Lu Su continued with a smile:"It's as good as I expected. , Changshan's navy has already moved south through the open sea. When they arrive, our water war will break out.

So you don't need to worry about Changshan's army attacking Jingzhou. During this time, we will step up training of the navy. The Changshan Army is invincible in land battles, so we can only start with water battles!

The favorable geographical location and the harmonious relationship are the best fighting methods for those of us in the Yangtze River Basin of Jingyang and Yangzhou!"

Lu Su's words made Liu Bei relax a lot. He had just learned that Zhao Yun had led an army of one hundred thousand to defend Lujiang. He was really frightened. But now after Lu Su's analysis, he is completely relieved!

"Zijing is so resourceful and resourceful! Liu Bei sighed. If he could meet Lu Su earlier, he would definitely recruit him.

Xu Shu added:

"Having said that, we still cannot take it lightly. King Changshan never acts according to common sense, and no one knows how he will arrange his troops! Lu

Su nodded and said:

"That's natural! Not only King Changshan, but also his subordinates and advisers are all talented and resourceful people, so we need to be careful and guard against them.

It is for this reason that I proposed to let Gong Jin lead a naval patrol here.

The first is to help you retreat safely. The second is to observe the nearby terrain, check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and at the same time let Gong Jin give us advice."

The section of the Yangtze River near Jiangxia used to belong to Jingzhou. They are in the enemy's territory, so it is naturally impossible for them to come here frequently.

Now that the two families have joined forces, the current of the Yangtze River is turbulent, and some changes in the terrain have increased, which will lead to a battle. Changes and accidents.

With Zhou Yu's intelligence and resourcefulness, he will definitely be able to detect problems.

In terms of marching, making plans, and military skills, Zhou Yu is one of the strongest generals Lu Su has ever seen in his life, and he also feels inferior to him.!

"So I'd like to trouble Zijing and write a letter to the governor, asking him to come over and give me some advice! Liu Bei said with great agreement.

Regardless of the battle of Guangling, Zhou Yu was defeated.

But compared with other opponents of the Changshan Army, Zhou Yu's performance was already very good. He is the strongest opponent of the Changshan Army so far! Yuan Shao originally led an army of more than 600,000, but They were all defeated and captured alive. Zhou Yu could at least lead his army back, which shows how resourceful and resourceful he is!

"Xuande's words are serious. Now you and I are working together to help you. Helping you is equivalent to helping ourselves, all in order to resist the Changshan Army's strong attack! Lu

Su said with a smile.

Feeling Lu Su's sincerity, Xu Shu also warned:

"Now the Changshan Army is stationed in Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Guangling County. In this section of the Yangtze River Basin, you still need to be careful about sending troops to patrol to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity!"

"Thank you, military advisor, for the reminder."Lu Su also replied in good faith.

Lu Su got along very well with Liu Guan and Zhang, and wrote a letter directly to Zhou Yu, asking him to come over to provide advice.

In fact,

Lu Su was also worried that Changshan's army would attack from here, so he asked Zhou Yu to come over. Arrangement of troops can also allow Liu Bei to be better prepared, just in case.

……

Yuzhang County.

Zhou Yu led the navy to patrol the Yangtze River and inspected various important passes to avoid giving Chang Shan's army an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Now Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are in the hands of the Changshan Army, and Zhang Jia and Gao Lan even led their troops south quickly, causing the Jiangdong Army garrison in the two counties to flee quickly.

Therefore, many ports, warships and other important supplies along the rivers in the two counties were retained.

According to Zhou Yu's original idea, after the Jiangdong Army retreats, if there are any extra warships, they will all be burned!

Even important naval passes such as ports need to be completely destroyed, and absolutely no supplies will be left for the Changshan Army! pity.

Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.

The Jiangdong Army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guangling. The morale of the army was shaken and morale plummeted.

Coupled with Changshan King's newspapers and transmission channels, the news spread throughout the world in less than a day, causing an uproar among the Jiangdong garrison in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County!

This caused Changshan's army to go south to attack Jiujiang and Lujiang. The Jiangdong garrison didn't even think about resisting and fled the two counties one by one, abandoning their helmets and armor.

Even if Zhou Yu and Lu Su wanted to lead an army to rush for reinforcements, because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guangling, the morale of the army was low, the troops were insufficient, and they were more motivated than powerful!

Various factors finally led to Changshan Army taking over a complete Jiujiang County and Lujiang County.

This also forced Zhou Yu to lead his army to patrol the Yangtze River. For the purpose of training troops and suppressing bandits, he inspected each pass at the same time and observed the Changshan Army on the other side of the river.

Fortunately, what made Zhou Yu relax was that the Changshan Army that followed Changshan King Liu Chen to go south first was an army force, not a Changshan Navy.

Although they used the warships to train and wanted to advance in the future battle across the river, the northerners did not know the nature of water and it was difficult to succeed in a short time. only……

"If Changshan's navy arrives south, Jiangdong will still be in danger!"Zhou Yu sighed a little in his heart.

He has been paying attention to Chang Shan. Whether it is humanities, economy, military politics, people's livelihood development, etc., Zhou Yu is paying attention to all public information and information that can be heard.

Regarding Chang Shan's navy, he is even more concerned about it. I have no idea!

The Changshan Army is too strong!

The Changshan Navy is actually composed of Changshan Army soldiers who are good at water and strong in water!

The battle of Guangling proved that the personal strength of the Changshan Army is completely beyond the level of ordinary people. It has reached the point of one against five!

Then the Changshan Navy can actually achieve the point of one against five!

Zhou Yu wonders whether the water warfare that Jiangdong is good at can still compete against such a group of super generals?!

Even if Zhou Yu didn't show it, the battle at Guangling still shattered his self-confidence, and a gap appeared!

"Why was Yu born when he was born!"

In Zhou Yu's view, the Battle of Guangling was a battle between him and Changshan King Liu Chen, but he failed in the end. At the beginning, the two armies had many interactions, but in the end, Zhao Yun suddenly came out and made him lose everything. This Everything must have been arranged in advance by King Changshan!

This also made Zhou Yu heart-broken, and he still can’t get over it!

"well……"

Just when Zhou Yu was sighing one after another, the messenger suddenly came to report:"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Colonel Lu Su is reporting urgently!"

"oh?"

Zhou Yu quickly took it. After reading it through, he frowned and thought for a moment. Then he entered the camp and looked at the terrain map.

"Zijing's choice was right, but the retreat of the Jingzhou Army gave the Changshan Army a chance!"

Zhou Yu had a serious face and immediately ordered:"Order the navy to prepare. In an hour, the commander-in-chief will lead his troops to Xiakou, Jiangxia."

"yes!"

"Let Gan Ning and Lu Meng come to see me!"

"yes!"

The cronies outside the house immediately left in a hurry, and Gan Ning and Lu Meng came here soon.

Lu Meng was just a commander from another department, and he still succeeded his brother-in-law who died in the battle. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to enter the camp.

But during this period of time, Zhou Yu Realizing Lu Meng's talent as a general, he intends to train this son. Given time, he will definitely be able to take on important responsibilities.

"Grand Governor!"

Gan Ning and Lu Meng bowed with their hands in hand.

"Zijing sent me a letter asking me to go to Jiangxia. Now that the Jingyang and Yang families have joined forces, I really need to go and explore. Zhou

Yu simply explained:"After I leave, Gan Ning, you lead the army to patrol the Yangtze River. Remember to carefully inspect Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Guangling County and other areas!""

"The general will obey!"Gan Ning cupped his hands and said

"Lu Meng, you are appointed as the marching counselor, and you have the power to make plans and command."Zhou Yu entrusted him with an important task.

This shocked Lu Meng, but he was also very surprised:"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, Meng will definitely fulfill his mission!"

Zhou Yu nodded, repeatedly warned, and finally said:"Remember to guard the entrance of the Yangtze River to the sea. If there is any trace of Chang Shan Haijun, please send me a message as soon as possible!"

"General/subordinates obey your orders!"

The Yangtze River section of Jiujiang County, Lujiang County and Guangling County has many high mountains on both sides and rapid water flow, making it difficult to cross the river easily.

In addition, in autumn and winter, the ice is biting and the wind is biting, making it difficult for sailing boats to sail. The water battle was unfavorable.

Now that generals such as Gan Ning and Lu Meng were patrolling the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu was able to safely lead his army to Jiangxia with great insurance.

Although it was going against the wind, by changing the angle of the sail, They were still sailing towards Jiangxia quickly.

Zhou Yu was satisfied when he saw the Jiangdong Navy's skill in operating the sailboat. His original worries were relieved a lot!

They had the right location, the right people, and a good chance of winning!

……

After receiving Lu Su's letter, Liu Biao summoned his ministers and generals to discuss, and finally agreed to Yuan Shu's decision to withdraw from Nanyang to Xiangyang.

Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family is very afraid of Liu Biao because of the power of the four generations, three princes, disciples and old officials all over the world!

Afraid of attracting wolves into the house, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send away. but.

Now that the enemy is facing us, we should indeed use all available power!

Now Yuan Shu, who is in Nanyang, Jingzhou, is actually unable to advance or retreat, and is struggling.

The legitimate son of the Yuan family, because of the involvement of Yuan Shao's adopted son, he lost his army and his generals, and finally had to flee back to Yuzhou in embarrassment.

Who would have known that Cao Cao, an eunuch, would not only backstab them in the Battle of Guandu, but also take the opportunity to attack Yuzhou and rob Yuan Shu of all his wealth!

After Cao Cao led his army into Yizhou, he thought he could secure Yuzhou and develop his power again, but who knew that Changshan's army came again!

After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu accepted Liu Bei's decision to flee Jingzhou. Who knew that Liu Biao, a wolf-hearted guy, would not let him enter the hinterland of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu had been worrying about gains and losses during this period, for fear of Changshan's army attacking.

Jingzhou Nanyang is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. Yuzhou on the right and Luoyang above can both become the offensive routes of Changshan Army.

Only the high mountains bordering Yizhou on the left can give Yuan Shu a little sense of security.

"Alas, I miss you, my great general, how did you get to this point? If it weren't for the deep hatred between the Yuan family and King Changshan, I would really want to surrender to the Changshan Army. Yuan

Shu drank to relieve his sorrow, but then he became sad:"Now that even Zhao Yun is the general, the world has changed after all!" If I had known earlier, I would have regretted it today!"

If I had known earlier that Changshan King Liu ChenWith such potential, the Yuan family would never enmity with him.

The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, this not only proves their strength and heritage, but also proves that the Yuan family has a good vision and knows people wisely, so as not to offend those who should not be offended, and finally reached the position of leader of the family! pity.

After the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, there were many disciples and old officials all over the world, and all the great families had close relations with the Yuan family, which eventually allowed them to swell.

The implementation of the plan to overthrow the Han Dynasty brought them to the point of no return!

"Is the Yuan family about to end? Is this the end for me, Yuan Shu?!"Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and asked.

At this moment, the messenger hurriedly came to report and said in surprise:"General! Liu Biao agreed that we would lead the army to Xiangyang!"

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, then he stood up in surprise, threw the wine glass away, and looked energetic again:

"The Yuan family is not finished yet! I, Yuan Shu, am not finished yet! Hahaha, the sky is the limit!"

Xiangyang is behind the Han River. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. Compared with Nanyang, it is much better and safer!

Even after entering Xiangyang, with Yuan Shu's ability and means , maybe he can occupy the magpie's nest, suppress Liu Biao, and occupy the land of Jingzhou!

This made Yuan Shu feel a little elated, and he was recalling the branches of his Yuan family's power in Jingzhou.

But at this moment.

Again A messenger hurriedly came to report. This time he was not surprised, but said in horror:

"Report, report, general! Changshan's army came to attack, less than twenty miles away from Nanyang!"

Yuan Shu, who was in great surprise, was suddenly stunned, and then he was completely shocked!

The problem he had been worried about and avoided finally appeared - the attack of Chang Shan Army!

"Damn it! Just a little bit closer! Why did Chang Shan's army find out after they had reached a distance of nearly twenty miles?! Yuan

Shu roared angrily. In this short period of time, he really went from hell to the clouds, and then fell into hell again!

The best portrayal of Yuan Shu is that extreme joy leads to sorrow!

"I don’t know, I don’t know!"

The messengers were trembling, not only worried about Yuan Shu's accusation, but also worried about Chang Shan's attack.

"waste! They are all a bunch of trash!"Yuan Shu roared.

In fact, with the reconnaissance pigeons and communication pigeons, coupled with the vigilance of Chang Shanjun, the scouts and spies that Yuan Shu spread out had long been eliminated one by one. It was only after approaching twenty miles that he realized that this was what Chang Shanjun thought. There was no need to waste time and directly choose to attack with force, only to be informed by Yuan Shu's scouts.

Otherwise, he would probably not know about the enemy until the troops were approaching the city!

However, the time when Yuan Shu's scouts hurriedly fled to report the message was just right. Let Changshan's troops approach the city.

As expected.

Yuan Shu was furious, but before he could order a response, another messenger came and shouted in panic:"Come on, general!" Changshan's army came to the city……"

After many battles, and the recent Battle of Guangling, which shocked the world, the Changshan Army is now frightening the enemy!

Even if you don't know the troop deployment and leading general of Changshan Army, it is still enough to frighten Xiao Xiao and make people run away!

It’s no wonder that the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shu’s army mutinied and panicked one by one!

"Soldiers, soldiers are approaching the city?"

Yuan Shu fell down and didn't get angry anymore. His eyes were dull and blank.

Now he couldn't even escape.

"It seems that my Yuan family is still doomed! I, Yuan Shu, am still going to die!"Yuan Shu murmured to himself, returning to the way he used to drink to soothe his sorrows.

Yuan Shu was short-sighted and courageous, but he still had some generals and advisers under him who could take orders in times of crisis!

But now he doesn't even have the courage and ideas to resist. Having lost everything, he just gave up on himself.

Yuan Shu's generals and advisers could only organize their own soldiers to defend Nanyang City and defend against the Changshan Army's attack.
