Chapter 499: Before the war

South County, Wu Junxing Camp.

A soldier rushed in and reported anxiously: "The chief governor, the lord is here!" At this time, Zhou Yu was thinking in front of the sand table. Hearing this, he hurried out of the hall. I saw two rows of majestic and mighty soldiers trotting forward with lanterns and picking up people. Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The subordinates have seen the lord!"

Sun Jian smiled and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder. Everyone behind Zhou Yu bowed to Zhou Yu: "General Governor." Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, then led the crowd into the hall.

Sun Jian saw a huge sand table in the middle of the hall, so he walked over and saw that the situation on the sand table was the current situation in Jingzhou. He couldn't help asking Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, how is the situation now?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "Chen Lang is in Xiangyang!" After a moment of silence, he returned to normal, and clasped his fists to Sun Jian: "From the beginning we have been fooled. Then Chen Lang has never left Jingzhou. His wishful thinking must be thought. We will take advantage of the fisherman's profit after we and Liu Bei have both suffered. It's just that the speed of Liu Bei's defeat has greatly exceeded his expectations. His tricks have not been implemented in time, and Nanjun has already fallen into our hands."

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Thanks to Gong Jin!"

Zhou Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "At this time, his subordinates dare not take credit. The reason why our army can capture the South County so quickly is because Zhang Song abandoned the secret to the Ming, and he should take the lead!"

Sun Jian nodded and said, "I have read your letter." Then he frowned and looked at Zhou Yu, "You suggested that I reuse Zhang Song, but, Gong Jin, this person has twice betrayed him and asked for glory. There is no shame in it, can such a person be reused?"

Zhou Yu clasped his fist and said: "Zhang Song's contribution is indelible. If you don't re-reward and reuse it, I'm afraid it will chill the heart of the world's heroes and consider the Lord's love and injustice. As for the Lord's worry, I don't think it is necessary. Lord, I heard that Recently, Xichuan is undergoing large-scale reforms. The gentry and squires have lost countless wealth and land. Zhang Song is distraught about this, and he hates Chen Lang. Chen Lang is already his hatred enemy. Therefore, he will not. He would betray his lord and surrender to Chen Lang. In addition, this pine is a celebrity in Xichuan. Liu Bei was bleak and had nowhere to take refuge in Sichuan, but in the end he was able to win Xichuan from Liu Zhang. This pine has played an extremely important role! Without Zhang Song, it would be almost impossible for Liu Bei to capture Xichuan! This person is really useful to us!"

Sun Jian said with a smile: "Gong Jin is absolutely right!" After a pause, "Then I will appoint Zhang Song as the prefect of my southern county. What does Gong Jin think?" Zhou Yu smiled and said with a fist, "The lord is wise!"

Sun Jian looked at the sand table in front of him and frowned, "I heard that the Qin army is constantly mobilizing to Xiangfan. I am afraid this battle will be a fierce battle!"

Zhou Yu looked at the sand table and said: "The enemy army was originally limited by insufficient food and grass, and it was difficult to mobilize the army, but because they obtained a large amount of money and food from Xichuan not long ago, they can now mobilize the army. According to my estimate, Chen Lang will mobilize at least 400,000 troops. Such as Jingzhou participating in the war."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed slightly, and they whispered to each other. The veteran Cheng Pu said: "The Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, and its combat power is the world's best! If our army is superior in strength, it can also fight against it. Now that the opponent's strength is stronger than our army, This war is hard to fight!"

Zhou Tai said: "It's better to take the initiative to attack the enemy army before they are all here! If we can capture Xiangfan first, our army will be invincible!" Several generals joined together.

Lu Xun couldn't help shaking his head and said, "This is not feasible!"

Sun Jian looked at Lu Xun and asked with a smile, "Why Bo Yan said that?"

Seeing the lord's question in person, Lu Xun couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Encourage the lord, the enemy has a lot of troops in Xiangfan, and our army is currently under-prepared. It may be futile to promote the attack. It is simply futile. That's all, I'm afraid that when our army is unable to attack under Xiangfan for a long time, its northern elite cavalry will be swept in. At that time, our army has lost its spirit and the consequences will be disastrous!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but feel terrified. Zhou Tai stopped talking.

Sun Jian asked Lu Xun, "But Bo Yan has a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Lu Xun frowned and said, "Master, Qin Jun is definitely a strong enemy we have never encountered before in Soochow. If the frontier of the field war with them at the beginning will hit their arms, the general will think that it must not be the case. I. The army should use the mountains and rivers to hold on to consume the enemy while waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. On the whole, we should defend first and then counterattack so that we can remain invincible."

Sun Jian couldn't help but nodded and looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What Bo Yan said coincides with me!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu said the same, Sun Jian made up his mind.

auzw.com turned to Xiangyang.

General Guan Yu reported to Chen Langzhen: "Brother, all soldiers and horses of our army have arrived. Now there are a total of 350,000 gathered in Xiangfan, only waiting for the lord to give an order. In addition, Zhang Ren Pangyi and others' Sichuan The 60,000 people of the Shu Army have also arrived at the Baidi City and gathered under Lu Bu's command."

Zhang Fei clasped his fists impatiently and said: "Brother, hundreds of thousands of our army are gathered here, and they will surely destroy Jiangdong. Brother, please give orders quickly! I would like to dedicate Zhou Yu's dog head to Big Brother as a striker. !" The generals were unwilling to show their weakness and asked for a battle one after another.

Chen Lang smiled, but did not make a statement. Instead, he asked Wenpin: "Zhongye, what's the situation with Jiangdong?"

Wen Pin held his fist and said: "According to the recent return of Xisuo, Jiangdong has assembled 450,000 troops in Nanjun and other places, and its 80,000 navy troops have entered Xiangjiang Xiazhai, forming a suppressive force against the shadow of our navy. "

Chen Lang looked at Cai Hao and Zhang Yun, and asked, "Can the navy be sure to fight against the Jiangdong navy?"

Cai Tao and Zhang Yun hurriedly stepped out and looked at each other. Cai Tao bowed to Chen Lang for preservation, and said with a face full of embarrassment: "Master, Lord Mingjian, our navy has been far behind the Jiangdong navy due to previous wear and tear! Efforts to rebuild, but now there are only 50,000 horses, the size of the number of people and the warships and equipment of Jiangdong are not as good as Jiangdong. These are still the second, the biggest gap is the soldiers! Lord, most of our navy is newly trained. , Training is the main focus, and I have not been on the battlefield yet, so I can't compare with the Jiangdong navy!..."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but yelled, "You are a daring trash..."

Chen Lang shouted sharply: "Yi De shut up!"

Zhang Fei closed his mouth, and swallowed the curse that had reached his throat abruptly, only glaring at Cai Hao and Zhang Yun angrily. How can Tsai Yu and Zhang Yun dare to look at him.

Chen Lang said: "You two are not to blame for this matter. The focus of our army has always been on the footsteps, but it has been ignored for the navy. From now on, perhaps the focus of construction should be slightly shifted to the navy side. That's fine." Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were so moved, he couldn't help but bowed: "The lord is wise!"

Chen Lang glanced at Zhuge Liang Pang Tong and the others, smiled and said to everyone: "Jiangdong will definitely think that we will fight them to the death on land. But I just want to do the opposite, and hit them by surprise."

Everyone was surprised and looked at each other. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun were both nervous and excited. The excitement was that the lord seemed to reuse them, but he was really worried that it was not Zhou Yu's navy opponent! I can't help but worry about gains and losses.

Chen Lang said to Cai Tao and Zhang Yun: "After the meeting is over, I will go to the water village with you." Then he said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you are responsible for transporting things to the water village." Zhuge Liang clasped his fist and promised.

After the meeting, Chen Lang, accompanied by Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and others, went to the water village. Seeing the strict rules of the water village and the orderly arrangement of the large and small warships, Chen Lang couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing Chen Lang's seemingly satisfied appearance, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. Cai Hao asked curiously: "Lord, I don't know, I don't know what Mr. Kong Ming is going to bring over?" Chen Lang smiled and said, "You'll know later."

Not long after, traffic was rolling outside the water village, and a large-scale convoy was rolling in from afar. Cai Hao and Zhang Yun looked curiously, and saw that every big car seemed to be dragging heavy objects, but the carriages were covered with black tarpaulin, and there was no clue as to what it was.

Zhuge Liang supervised the team entering the water village. Zhuge Liang came to Chen Lang, clasped his fist and said, "Master, everything has arrived. There are 300 seats in total."

Chen Lang nodded, and said to Cai Tao and Zhang Yun: "You immediately send someone to seal me up within 20 miles of the water village. Without my order, no one will lean in." The two were more puzzled and clasped their fists. As promised, Cai Wei asked Zhang Yun to execute the order, and Zhang Yun hurried away.

Cai Hao glanced at the carts that were constantly being brought in, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, these, these are...?"

Chen Lang smiled, and led the crowd to a large vehicle, causing the sergeants to lift the tarpaulin, revealing the true face of that mysterious thing. Cai Tao saw clearly, with a very confused expression on his face.

On the other side, Jiang Dong's army was ready and waiting for the Qin army to attack. On the basis of Lu Xun’s strategy, Zhou Yu formulated a more complete plan. The army relied on the fortified city of the southern county to resist the enemy’s offensive, and at the same time, the navy marched along the Xiangjiang River. After defeating the enemy navy, the Xiangjiang channel was cut off. . According to Zhou Yu's plan, once this step is completed, the Qin army attacking the southern county will become a turtle in the urn! If this battle is victorious, then the offensive and defensive attitudes of one's own side and the Qin army will definitely be reversed, and King's Landing will take one step further!

Just as Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and others were discussing matters in the camp, the scouts suddenly rushed to report in a hurry: "Give me the lord, the chief governor, the enemy army has left Xiangyang and is heading towards the southern county, and Lu Bu also led the way back. Seventy thousand soldiers and horses left Baidi City and headed for the southern county." Sun Jian and Zhou Yu were all overjoyed, and Sun Jian said excitedly: "The tiger is finally out of the cage! Let's see how my Jiang Dong Erlang defeats the dragon and the tiger!" The generals could not help but feel proud.
