ps: Thank you to the 'Shield Che' for submitting your precious monthly ticket!

"Zilong, thank you for your hard work!"

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, reached out and patted Zhao Yun on the side of the shoulder, but when he patted the armor, it hurt a little, Zhao Yun grinned.

"Mr. Military Advisor, is there a new arrangement when I ask me to come back?"

Guo Jia rubbed his hands and said with a smile:

"Well, now that I have taken down Changmen City, the Battle of Xiaguan will become a Battle of Changmen. The terrain of Changmen is narrow and the cavalry cannot be carried out. Moreover, the Japanese army is gathering towards the direction of Changmen and Xiaguan on a large scale, so this is the time for us to set up another battlefield."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he looked at the map excitedly. Guo Jia smiled and pointed to the map: "Here, Shangyue, the north bank of the central Kanto, there are mountainous areas around here. Your mission is to attack the city groups along the north bank at will. Sun Ming and Jiang Qin's fleet will be responsible for replenishing and cooperating. In addition, you open a gap and let Yuanzhi's troops enter the mountainous areas. The war zone over there will be you and Yuanzhi, with you as the main one."

"Military advisor, why aren't the four countries?" Zhao Yun asked with some strange questions.

"Haha, there is no need for our general in the four countries to do this. Chen Han will be responsible there, and then he can slowly take down the four countries with his scattered soldiers. Whether for us or the Japanese, the four countries are now strategically unimportant."

"So that's it, then what about our goal of moving north?"

"There is no goal. If you can fight Nagoya and Kyoto, it will be up to you, but I don't recommend it. It's best to go along the coast, and the Japanese army will be at a loss. If you can capture the city, then I will send Yu She over."

"I understand, try to open up the second battlefield!"

"Well, try, but don't force it!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Military Advisor, I understand!"

"Very good. After a day of repair, Sun Ming's fleet will send you there."

"promise!"

"Zilong. Why should I choose Hirotsuki? I think it is more appropriate to remove Itoichuan. There are mountains in the south of this place, which is suitable for us to block it. The Japanese army can only go to the coast on both sides of the east and west, and the defense is quite favorable!"

"Haha, what are you defending? We are here to attack!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"Occurrence!? Didn't the military advisor say that if he could take down the city, he would send Yu She over and wait. I understand, does it mean dynamic defense?"

"Yes, aren't cavalry suitable for dynamic defense? Moreover, we opened the second battlefield to relieve the pressure in Xiaguan and Nagato, and prepare for the third battlefield. Therefore, eliminating the enemy's living forces is also a key point. If we choose Itoichuan, the enemy will be blocked on both sides, and the battlefield will be a little Chiang."

"Well, that's true. It seems that the military advisor is still awesome!"

"Yuan Zhi. Are you talking nonsense? If you are powerful, you should be the military advisor!"

"hehe!"

"This is the plan. I log in first, and then launch a siege against Shangyue. You don't have to worry about me. Go south and enter the mountainous area. The first goal is to attack Duanmeigao. Then you will act with you. I will contact you at any time. My activity area will be concentrated in the east, repeatedly interspersed in this urban cluster, looking for the appropriate opportunity to take Shangyue or other cities."

"I understand, I will support your actions."

On February 19th, Jiujiang, Sun Ce's command center.

There was a huge map of Yingzhou hanging in the command center. No matter how unwilling or uneasy the generals below were, the fact that the battle against Yingzhou was already irreversible. Looking at this map every day, the military generals slowly accepted the place where they were about to fight.

"According to the war reports sent by Youzhou in the past few days, Mr. Zigang and I have compiled the current situation chart of both sides. Please see, there are two battlefields formed on the island of Yingzhou. In addition, the battle in the four countries is a low-intensity and large-scale scattered war. We can only regard this part as a certain restriction battlefield, or simply a playground that Guo Jia is looking for for those idle strangers."

"hehe."

Sun Ce also smiled with a pursed lips and nodded to Zhou Yu to continue talking.

"On the main battlefield, in the Changmen and Xiaguan areas, the battlefields in the Xiaguan area were launched on February 2. The navy transport troops were raided and landed. After gaining a foothold, they attacked the east and west and captured the city of Changmen in one fell swoop. The Japanese army was forced to draw troops from various cities in Kansai area and cooperated with the main combat troops of Xiaguan to move northwards, and launched a positional battle with Nagamen as the center. The large number of fortresses originally arranged by the Japanese army along the coast of Xiaguan have now become decorations, and the Japanese army was forced to start a decisive battle in a position that was not the home court. From this point of view, Guo Jia's strategic intention was successful."

The general below whispered a few words, Zhou Yu paused and continued: "Then, when the Japanese army began to carry out large-scale strategic mobilization, Guo Jia suddenly made great strides and invested two highly mobile and high-attack forces in the Shangyue area further north. He forced the Japanese to voluntarily give up Shangyue three days ago. Yu She's troops arrived at Shangyue today and began to build defenses around Shangyue and build ports. Then a large number of alien troops would support him. The second battlefield was successfully opened. The Japanese army's reaction was strange. They were actually gathering troops in the direction of Nagoya to make up for the gap that the troops were drawn to the west, and the troops further north were intent to mobilize to the west coast."

"Gongjin said that the Japanese army was very passive and slow?"

"Not only, it's also very strange in terms of choice. Why can't the troops concentrated in the Nagoya direction go north first, and take advantage of the unstable position of the Youzhou army to attack Shangyue, but instead use a further army to siege Shangyue, but leave the nearby troops without using them. Isn't this strange?"

This situation is indeed a bit strange. Not only Zhou Yu finds it strange, but Zhang Hong also finds it strange. Now when everyone says it, everyone finds it strange!

"Is there any conspiracy?"

"It's hard to say!"

Zhou Yu also pondered without saying a word, and he didn't think clearly about the joints. Anyway, it seemed like the Japanese were deliberately catering to Guo Jia's strategic intentions. Did the Japanese intentionally let the water go? Could it be that the entire Yingzhou War was just a drama? This is too ridiculous!

Seeing that the generals were inconsistent, Sun Ce was puzzled and said, "Can Gongjin and Mr. Zigang have any reasonable explanation?"

"I am incompetent, and I don't know why for the time being!"

"Then you can ask Jiang Xian about this."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, come here. Go and invite General Jiang Xian."

Jiang Xian was Fang Zhiwen's guard general. This time he was sent to Sun Ce as a liaison officer, which meant that he was about to be released. However, he was not very comfortable when he arrived at Sun Ce. He was not afraid of being guarded by others all day long, but he was often ridiculed and implicitly mocked by Sun Ce's generals, but his responsibilities were just his lord's entrusted, so Jiang Xian had to endure it.

This time, Zhou Yu hurriedly summoned himself and Jiang Xian, and he was also very unhappy. He really thought he was someone, and he would just come and linger him when he summoned him!

Jiang Xian, who was in a bad mood, only when he arrived at the conference room did he know what was going on. Of course he knew what the Japanese were doing, but was he obliged to say it?

After listening to Zhou Yu's question, Jiang Xian frowned and thought for a while, and said in confusion: "This last general is not clear. Maybe there is any conspiracy. The governor can write a letter to ask Military Advisor Guo directly. Anyway, the governor Zhou will accept the unified command of Military Advisor Guo soon. Haha."

Zhou Yu was speechless. Jiang Xian obviously had something in his words!

Zhang Hong glanced at Jiang Xian. It seemed that Jiang Xian did not get along well with the generals in the army and even Zhou Yu. In this way, he was likely to hide his weaknesses and deliberately concealed the things that should have been taught to Zhou Yu, and leave a little bit of the information that should have been said, or deliberately slowed down. This is very deadly in military terms.

Zhang Hong shook his head secretly. It seems that Zhang Zhao's saying that Zhou Yu is too arrogant is still very reasonable. A little lowered can avoid a lot of trouble. Zhou Yu is unwilling to bow his head. So in the future, he will have to spend a lot of money to learn the experiences that others already know. Unfortunately, the head of the army is now the governor Zhou Yu, not the Sima of Zhang Hong.

Zhou Yu waved his hand, Jiang Xian smiled and left, and Sun Ce was also silent for a while.

"Since that's the case, this matter is like this for the time being. I will personally write to ask Fang Zhiwen, Gongjin, you will continue."

"No! Please see, Zhao Yun and Li Yuanzhi's troops now occupy Shangyue, and have formed an effective control range around Shangyue. Li Yuanzhi's troops have penetrated into the mountains, and are in peace within two or three hundred miles around. This has effectively restrained the Japanese army's counterattack. With the speed of Youzhou Army, it can establish an effective beachhead position on Shangyue in about two to three days, and it can start to expand outward in about seven days, control the key points around, and form a new large-scale battle. The formation of the battle in Shangyue region will create opportunities for our army to participate in the war. Next, the steps of our army's operation will be about our army! Please note."

Zhou Yu stopped, glanced at the generals present seriously, and said slowly and clearly: "The target of our army is here, in the north of the East China Sea, the Sendai area on the east coast of Yingzhou Island. After landing, our army can choose the attack direction by itself, to the south, northeast and northwest. Any areas captured and controlled by our army will belong to our jurisdiction, and the population is the same. According to this strategy, the first batch of landing troops of our army was 200,000, consisting of General Han Dang, General Ling Cao and my headquarters, not including the navy. The cross-sea and logistics supply are all provided by friendly troops Youzhou Army and Tiandihui."

"Lord, why don't you let me participate in the war!" Cheng Pu stood up dissatisfied and stared at Zhou Yu to ask the lord.

"Demou, there is a reason for this. Because our army's logistics is in the hands of Fang Zhiwen and the World Association. Therefore, the first wave of landing troops must have strong self-sustaining ability and try to use troops with small demand for supply. The three troops selected by Gongjin are mainly formed by Shanyue people after they become naturalized. They have strong combat power and can endure hardships. The most important thing is that they have strong self-sustaining ability. So Demou understands? In fact, when Gongjin gains a firm foothold, everyone here will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. At that time, I am afraid that there will be insufficient people, and Demou is still worried that he will not have the chance to go to the battlefield!"

"Haha." Everyone laughed kindly, Cheng Pu scratched his head awkwardly and sat down embarrassedly.

Sun Ce smiled slightly and said, "Gongjin, continue talking."
