Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Diao Chan came to the door with her daughter.

in some sense.

Jingzhou can be divided into three parts.

The first one: Nanyang County in the north; the second one: Xiangyang and Jiangxia in the middle; the third one: the four counties in Jingnan, Changsha, Lingling, Wuling, and Guiyang; the reason why Cao Cao gave up Nanyang County.

It is because it is close to Yuzhou and is a plain, making it easy to attack but difficult to defend.

This is indeed an important base for grain production.

But for his overall situation, there are only disadvantages and no advantages.

But retreating to Xiangyang is different.

Xiangyang is located between Jingshan Mountain and Dahongshan Mountain.

It is equivalent to two mountain ranges, tightening Jingzhou.

Xiangyang is the upper end of the gap between the two mountain ranges.

As long as Xiangyang can be defended, it is equivalent to defending Jingzhou.

Once Xiangyang is lost, the opponent can use the Han River channel to reach the interior of Jingzhou.

This is equivalent to letting the monkey crawl into the belly.

The other party really wants to fight however they want and at the same pace.

It is precisely because of Xiangyang’s special geographical location.

So!

He became a battleground among military strategists in history.

In history, Cao Cao was willing to give up everything and defend Xiangyang after his defeat in Chibi. This was the reason why.

Xiangyang was built on the Han River, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Han Yi's troops want to capture Xiangyang!

You have to put in at least a hundred times more effort, otherwise you will never get in.

Cao Cao is confident in this!

"Jingxiang Navy is the only one in the world!"

"The only one who can compete with us is the Jiangdong Navy!"

Cao Cao looked at the Yang family's army arrayed outside the city and couldn't help but let out a scornful laugh:"Zilian, we must defend this first part as much as we can. If we cannot hold it, remember to preserve our strength first and retreat into the inner city!"

Cao Hong looked back and glanced at the river.

He seemed to understand what his lord meant:

"Lord!"

"what do you mean......"

Cao Hong took a long breath and said tentatively:"Shall we rely on the Jingxiang Navy to stop the other side?"

Cao Cao's lips slightly curved:"That's right! Han Yi's Yang family generals are all infantry and are not used to water warfare. They may have an advantage in a siege battle, but compared to a water battle, they are no match for the Jingxiang Navy!"

"But my lord! Cao

Hong was a little confused:"In that case, why don't we just retreat back to the city? Wouldn't we not have to lose our troops?""

"You boy! Cao Cao let out a scornful laugh:"

Do you really think others are fools?" Even if I am willing to do this, Cai Mao is definitely not willing to do this. After all, the Jingxiang navy is his confidant."

"Besides!"

At this point, Cao Cao let out a long breath:"I want you to use our momentum and test the opponent's strength. If the Yang family really attacks with all its strength, there should be some movement at Wen Ruo's place."

"But if the other party is just bluffing!"

"We can also turn a blind eye. This way we won't offend Cai Mao and can better occupy Xiangyang. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

After all, Cao Cao is a guest in Jingxiang.

Although Cai Mao regards him as a think tank, he is just a think tank.

No matter who looks at it, Jingzhou cannot be his.

Even if it is Cai Hao's, it can never be his..

For Cao Cao, it is even more difficult to obtain Jingzhou than Cai Mao.

After all, he has no connections here, and in terms of the number of troops, he is definitely no match for Cai Hao.

To be honest, besides having some brains, he is really. What do you want, a pauper with nothing!

What Cao Cao really wants is actually only one thing.

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind!

Accumulate strength and eventually turn against the guest!

But the difficulty is really very difficult!

"The general finally understood."

Cao Hong leaned over and cupped his hands.

"alright! Cao

Cao sighed:"I leave this to you. I think you know how to fight."

Cao Hong nodded:"Don't worry, my lord, I will never embarrass you!""

Cao Cao waved his hand:"Okay! I'll leave first. Whether Cai Mao can win Jiangling is still open to question. I have to go and see first.

Cao Hong said softly:"Lord, go slowly!""

Cao Cao left the city and quickly returned to the Prefecture Mufu.

Sure enough!

Cai Mao was angry and furious:

"idiot!"

"They are all idiots!"

"After such a long time, he couldn't even win Jiangling!"

"Then Huang Zhong was just an old pawn, how could he kill three generals in a row?"

Cai Mao was so angry that he wanted to slap him twice.

But when he saw Cao Cao coming, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said,"Mengde, are you back?"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement:"Yes, the Yang family will bring more than 100,000 troops over. I won't feel at ease if I don't go and see for myself, but Degui can rest assured that with Zi Lian here, they will definitely get it within a short time. Don't come down!"

"That's good."

Cai Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"oh?"

Cao Cao tried to ask:"What's the situation over there? It seems that things are not going well! Cai

Mao let out a long breath:"I won't hide it from you. Huang Zhong killed three generals under Cai Zhong's command. They have all been following me for many years!""

"Actually......"

"well~~~"

With a long sigh, Cai Hao really couldn't talk anymore.

"Don't worry. Cao

Cao seemed much calmer:"There will always be a way. I have seen that fierce general named Huang Zhong. Although he is old, he has the ability to be honest and honest during the Warring States Period. Don't underestimate him!""

"I know. Cai

Mao hummed and said softly:"Don't worry, Meng De, I will definitely not delay our retreat, just a month, oh no, try to capture Jiangling and kill Liu Qi within two months!""

"Two months?"

Cao Cao nodded:"If the war can be resolved within two months, the pressure on my side will be reduced a lot. But Degui, you should know the strength of the Yang family generals. They are too powerful in siege warfare."

"If you really can't hold on,"

"I may retreat to the city, use the Han as the border, station troops to garrison, and attack halfway across the river. At that time, you may have to send the Jingxiang navy to help me! Cai

Hao pondered for a moment:"Meng De, although the Yang family general is powerful, you are by no means easy to deal with. Can't you hold on for at least a month?""

"A month?"

Cao Cao paused and pretended to think:"I can only say try my best! You know, when I was in Yanzhou, I couldn't even hold on for a month. Now this situation......"

"This time, that time!"

Cai Mao immediately interrupted:"When you were in Yanzhou, your opponents were Yue Fei and the Yang family generals. Now only the Yang family generals are left. In one month, it will be absolutely no problem for you, Cao Cao."

"I trust you!"

"this......"

Cao Cao pretended to be in trouble:"I can only say that I tried my best."

Cai Mao naturally understood the strength of the Yang family general:"Well, in short, I believe in you! You will not let me down!"

****** at the same time.

Tarzan.

Sikong Mansion.

Navy coach Qi Jiguang arrived.

At this moment, they are waiting for Han Yi’s arrival in the palace.

"General Qi!"

After a while,

Han Yi came out and greeted me with a smile:"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long.

Qi Jiguang hurriedly raised his hands and said,"My lord, what you said is really embarrassing to me.""

"Hahaha! Han

Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, and said softly:"I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I'm here to find you. I have an extremely important task that I want to entrust to you!""

"oh?

Qi Jiguang frowned:"My lord, are you going to take action against Jiang Dong?" Don’t worry, our navy is ready and ready to go at any time!"

"No!"

"no!"

Han Yi shook his head and exhaled a breath:"Jiangdong is temporarily staying behind. I asked you to come here this time because of the matter in Jingzhou. You should know that although Jingzhou is not as good as Jiangdong's waterways, it is definitely not what an army like General Yang is good at. of"

"so!"

"I hope you will take your navy, set out from Runan, and enter Jiujiang and Lujiang. As long as you capture them, you can go up the Shuojiang River to support Huang Zu in Jiangxia, and indirectly support Liu Qi!"

Qi Jiguang did not hesitate and responded sonorously:"Don't worry, my lord, the general will live up to his high expectations."

"But lord......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Jiguang seemed to have thought of something:"Are there any warships in Runan?"

Han Yi smiled lightly, shook his head and said,"There are two fishing boats, which are used to transport grain and grass. Naturally, you can't use them. You can bring them with you." Take your troops, horses, and craftsmen under your command, and set off together."

"good!"

Qi Jiguang nodded:"But if you add the time to build the warship, it may be delayed for a long time. Han

Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly:"It doesn't matter!" Anyway, let’s not be in a hurry, let’s let them mess around for a while, so that we can fully accept it. If we just kill them like this, who will take us seriously! Qi

Jiguang snorted:"In that case, don't worry, my lord, we will dispatch troops to Runan in the shortest possible time."

Han Yi:"Okay!" In this battle, the Yang family generals are just attacking from behind. You, Qi Jiguang, are the real killer!"
