Chapter 85: Assault on Zongyang(1/2)
As time goes by, Tongyang is already in sight.
Subconsciously, Lin Chen glanced at Tongyang, Juchao and Wancheng, a very strategic buffer zone with a military scent.
Then he was stunned.
【Tongyang: No danger, 100% possibility of strategy】
【Jichao: low risk, 86% chance of strategy】
[Wancheng: Intermediate risk, 53.8% chance of strategy]
At this time, Lin Chen really wanted to scream: Liu Xun, Li Zai Gan Shenmo?
But he held back.
Looking at the two Tongyang and Juchao, which included many parts of Anqing City, Huaining County, and other later generations, his heart was beating wildly.
"Even if you can't take Juchao, as long as you take Tongyang, you will be considered to have mastered this strategic priority!"
"What's more, Juchao has 86% of the strategies that are possible..."
Gulu!
He couldn't help swallowing, and a trace of emotion called greed gradually appeared in his eyes.
This is the eastern foot of the Dabie Mountains.
Around them are small lakes that are constantly formed due to the passing of the Yangtze River.
Next to the lake are peaks that rise from the ground... It is considered the remnant of the Dabie Mountains.
Historically, when General Zhou was training troops in Chaisang, he relied on this road, which made the Cao army dare not look south.
Similarly, the main reason why the Eastern Wu in history was not overwhelmed so quickly was that he mastered this important transportation route.
Because they only need to keep in both directions.
To attack Jiangdong, one is from Hefei, the other is from Shicheng and Jinlingyi.
I won’t talk about the second path. As long as I don’t attack and rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, I can waste Cao Wei to death.
And the first road... is to attack Wancheng and Chaisang from Hefei to the southwest.
This road...
Since Hefei to Wancheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers, a H-shaped geography was directly formed. In addition, close to the Yangtze River, the Grand Commander trained a lot of naval forces in the early stage...
Therefore, even Cao Wei would never dare to launch a large-scale attack.
This terrain is really easy to attack but difficult to defend. No one can say what a terrible consequence of failure here once.
In addition, Chaisang can also provide naval support at any time...
Another point is that in the late Cao Wei period, I was most afraid of the navy.
If this area is used as a temporary foundation, the future barrier...
"I remember in the original history, even Sun Ce did not dare to beat Liu Xun, right? It seems that he was the one who seduced Liu Xun and ordered his main force to go to the Chaisang area and finally took Wancheng? In addition... he and Zhou Yu seemed to have taken Er Qiao here?"
Lin Chen thought so in his heart, his steps had already moved and he headed towards Liu Bei.
This area is so important.
Not only now, attacking Huang Zu requires this area as a combat readiness area, but once Cao Cao grows stronger in the future, they will need this area as a strategic buffer.
Furthermore, with this area as a buffer, as long as they defend Liu Biao, Wuhan...hehe, Jiangxia can develop relatively peacefully.
Jiangxia, which accounts for one-fifth of the Jianghan Plain, can definitely provide them with war supplies beyond imagination!
...
On the deck.
Liu Bei was chatting with Guan Yu with a smile, and his condition was very relaxed.
"Master."
"Ziyuan is here quickly, my second brother and I are talking about you."
"This is not the time to speak. Please ask the lord to turn away from the left and right. Chen has something to say!"
"...You don't have to gather here. I have something to say with Ziyuan, Yunchang." Liu Bei thought for a moment and began to smile and drive people away.
"Tell me."
After driving away the people, Liu Bei looked at Lin Chen with a serious expression: "But what has happened to attack Jiangxia?"
"No, I want to ask my lord a question... Do you want to avenge the previous revenge in Xuzhou?"
Lin Chen did not keep it a secret, but whispered towards Wancheng: "The current large area belongs to Yuan Shu. If the lord can take it..."
"Ziyuan, I know you are eager to make contributions, but..."
Liu Bei was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "But although Yuan Shu is not a powerful figure, would he not know the importance of the Jianghuai area?"
At the same time, in order to show that he still trusts Lin Chen, he explained: "This Lujiang Prefect is guarded by Liu Xun, the general under his command. This man was the Jianpingchang of Peiguo in his early years and had extraordinary abilities."
This is already very straightforward.
It is indeed a good place to face the south of Lujiang River, and he can also see it.
But the problem is that Liu Xun is definitely not an easy person.
Otherwise, Yuan Shu would not have been entrusted with important tasks.
With him in Lujiang, they had to be careful when they passed by, let alone attack Wancheng.
"I know all of these, but from my perspective, Tongyang is definitely an empty city at the moment. You can capture it by just shaking the flag and shouting!"
Lin Chen did not explain too much and asked directly: "If the lord doesn't believe it, I will attack Tongyang with my third brother, and the situation will be clear by then."
Military sense of smell still has great limitations.
Without information support, it will be easy for him to see, and everything he says is equivalent to a charlatan.
So, Lin Chen is really not easy to explain.
Thinking of this, he simply proposed that he and Zhang Fei attack Tongyang, so that Liu Bei could see clearly what the situation was.
"... Since Ziyuan is so persistent, then okay."
Liu Bei didn't want to agree, he had little power, but seeing Lin Chen's sincere gaze, he finally decided to make a bet with Lin Chen.
Anyway, even if you lose, you will be able to hurt some soldiers and leave quickly.
But if you win...
He, Liu Bei, really had a foundation.
The kind that Yuan Shu dared not fight.
Because Wan County and Tongyang are too dangerous, no matter who wants to attack, you will have a headache when you see this terrain.
"Chen, receive the order!"
Lin Chen bowed and left.
"San brother, wake up quickly, there is a war to fight!"
He flew to the second floor, wearing armor while making Zhang Fei a little seasick, and since he got on board, he pulled up Zhang Fei, who had been a little wilted since he got on the boat.
"Hmm? Ah?"
Zhang Fei shook his head dizzyly, then suddenly became energetic and said, "Is there a war to fight? Isn't Ziyuan in the frame of me?"
Although he was seasick, the symptoms were still very mild. After adapting for a while, he would probably disappear.
Therefore, he still has some idea of where the army has reached now.
Before Tongyang has arrived, war is about to start. Who should I fight?
Hit Lujiang?
Crazy?
"Dare to Tongyang, Juchao, Wancheng area."
However, Lin Chen solemnly told him what he thought was impossible.
"this……"
"I, this is armor!"
Zhang Fei was stunned and stared at Lin Chen with his eyes the size of a copper bell. He wanted to ask more questions, but then he thought of the other party's magic before, and at the same time he wanted to fight, he happily started to wear armor.
Rishi (5-7 o'clock) started wearing armor. About a quarter of an hour later, Lin Chen and Zhang Fei dressed neatly and summoned Zhang Nan.
"At the order of the lord, attack Tongyang."
Without any unnecessary nonsense, Lin Chen directly began to assign tasks: "Zhang Nan is the vanguard and Zhang Fei is the central army, I will postpone the support myself."
"Is there any problem?"
After he asked, Zhang Fei scratched his head and said, "Well, can I be the pioneer?"
To be continued...
