Jiangdong, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's army are ready to go.

The two of them commanded more than 10,000 troops, and they looked like they could not stand the other one. Before sending the troops, they said a few harsh words, hoping to fight on the spot, which made Guan Ping laugh and cry.

As for it?

When a comrade-in-law fights in life and death, when you move forward in close contact, how can you act as a pretentious person and be ridiculed?

He thought that he would be able to hold his thighs when he asked Jiangdong for help this time, but he didn't expect that the troops that Jiangdong could mobilize were almost the same as those of Liu Bei's army. The two armies really became an alliance, and they didn't know where this battle would go.

Guan Ping and Lu Yi joined forces again. This time they used elite soldiers who made great contributions in the previous battle with Cao Ren. Sun Quan generously added some of them. The entire army had as many as 3,000 people, three tower ships, and more than 100 other large and large warships. This was already a very impressive navy army.

When dispatching elite soldiers of this size, the leader was the Lu Yiguan Ping combination who had performed bravely before. Sun Quan must have a different plan - his goal is very clear, and he must use an elite soldier to directly attack Xiangyang!

Of course, Sun Quan also understood that Xiangyang, which was built by Liu Biao with 3,000 people, was like a fool, but such mobilization could attract the attention of Cao's army to the greatest extent. Cao's army was worried that it would be cut off from the rear, so naturally he had to retreat the navy troops stationed near Jiangling and share the pressure of Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's coalition as much as possible.

Of course, for Sun Quan, he had another purpose, which was not worthy of being told by outsiders.

In short, Guan Ping embarked on the journey again. Liu Dun was idle and was idle, so he took the initiative to ask to follow Guan Ping and others to fight.

He used to be Sun Fu's military advisor, and he was more than enough to handle some basic documents.

Liu Dun was also quite excited when he heard that he was going to attack Xiangyang.

After the last battle, the Wu army soldiers had basically figured out the reality of the enemy.

Although Cao's army has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, the one that can really play a role in the water battle is their old rival Jingzhou Army. The Jingzhou Army and the Northern Army are now disinterested and cannot exert too strong combat power at all. This battle is very successful.

Even Zhang Zhao was forced to accept Sun Quan's suggestion to fight. Now he is rectifying the army and ready to send troops at any time.

"We have already inquired before. The troops stationed in Xiangyang are Lejin, Fancheng and Xu Huang. They are both fighting against bandits nearby. As long as we don't get ashore, they are no match for us at all.

The only thing we have to worry about is Zhao Yan, the prefect of Zhangling. His seven armies have begun to gather. If we meet, we should avoid it or avoid it a little."

Speaking of this, Liu Dun yawned lazily:

"In a word, as long as we don't get ashore, Cao's army is no match for us at all."

The Lu Jie had no objection to this. Their goal in this battle was to restrain Zhao Yan's subordinates Yu Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Lu Zhao, Feng Kai, and Le Jin and Xu Huang who were stationed in Xiangyang and Fancheng.

These people are famous generals, and they can stand on their own if they pick them up alone. Even if there are tens of thousands of people who attack the city they are defending, they will die, and not going to the shore is the best choice.

Only Guan Ping had a serious face, and he looked at the surging Han River with a serious expression.

Lu Yi smiled and said, "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

As soon as Guan Ping closed his eyes, the mountains and forests on the riverside near Xiangyang immediately appeared in front of him. The winding paths and lush forests were like in front of him, making him blurt out:

"Brother Bo Yan, the enemy is in the city, and I don't know the truth or reality. If we are only on the river, they will be completely fearless. At that time, the entire army will attack, and we will not be able to resist it.

Why not take a team of people to ashore and find a fighter plane?”

Lu Yi and Liu Dun looked at each other and did not react for a moment.

"You want to fight Xiangyang?"

Guan Ping nodded and shook his head again. He didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he simply told Yun Shanshan's insights at that time:

"The enemy's main force entrenches in central cities, and rural areas are the weak links in their rule.

By occupying the countryside, we can have broad power, making it difficult for the enemy to get rid of, and the more we fight, the worse it becomes. This is called... the countryside surrounds the city!"

Liu Dun couldn't help rolling his eyes. If it weren't for Guan Ping's identity, he might have laughed out loud.

"Well, frankly, I know you are eager to make contributions, but this battle is not what it is.

Just talk about your method of surrounding cities in the countryside. The people in the villages have no soldiers or armor. Even if they surround the city, they will not have time to run away when they see the enemy coming and running. How can they succeed?

If the entire army scatters, how can we mobilize quickly? We can gather together but not disperse and fight big battles."

"There are all the long-time generals of the Cao army around Xiangyang. These people fought south and north, and had never fought any battles. The only advantage of our army is water battles. If we go ashore... even if there are 100,000 people, I am afraid I will not dare to claim to be a complete victory."

"Besides," Liu Dun showed a look of contempt on his face, "Those Guizhou leaders are all selfish and stupid, and they are not convinced by Wang Hua. We have no money and no food, how are they willing to work hard for us?

If they were forced to join the army, it would be no different from the bandits in the mountains, Cao's army would only need to use some money and food to make these people rebel again.

The old thief ordered Le Jin, and Xu Huang and the other two generals entered Xiangyang and Fancheng respectively. They were obviously worried that someone would cause chaos from the rear when they marched. This method of the young general...is not feasible!"

Guan Ping also knew that what Liu Dun was saying was the truth.

When Yun Shanshan talked about this, he felt it was not feasible, but strangely, everyone, including Jia Liangcai and Huang Si, did not object to this. It seemed that everyone had heard of this magical combat idea.

Well, I should stay and ask what to do first.

Lu Yi thought for a moment and whispered:

"I don't think it's impossible to give it a try."

Liu Dun looked at Lu Yi in disbelief and said with a wry smile:

"Bo Yan, this matter cannot be joked about. Cao Ren is stupid and is just on the water. If he goes ashore, the three thousand of us will not be enough to be filled with one person's teeth."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "If we had 100,000 elite soldiers, we would naturally have to attack the city. But there are not so many soldiers now, and we are idle. I think this is not impossible. Mr. Liu thought, why did we have to stock up the army in the city in history?"

"Of course..." Liu Dun showed off, "This city is strong, with sufficient food, grass, soldiers and armor, convenient roads and waterways, and there are many fertile land in the city. If you occupy the city, you will be a great victory."

"Not bad, but there is one more thing - occupying the city can minimize deserters."

Since ancient times, deserters have been an unsolvable problem.

There are tens of thousands of troops in a large army, and the number of civilians who provide supplies to this army must be at least this. Most soldiers are only temporarily recruited to fight, and they have to go home to farm after the battle. Even if Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are just supporting the army, civilians who provide services to them must farm. It is impossible for everyone to be firm in their will and do whatever they want to fight.

So they always try to escape.

It's too tiring to rush on the road with the wind, so I've been running away.

The battle against the wind will probably die tomorrow and will escape.

What should I do if I can't stand the stalemate? I'll escape.

Being a soldier was too hard, so I was gone.

If you want to catch a deserter, at least after the war is over. Your household registration these days is a metaphysics. It really takes considerable ability and luck to find a deserter in the mountains.

In order to reduce desertion, the garrisons have always tried to find a city. If they are garrisoning in the wild, don’t underestimate human desire for freedom.

Lu Yi stood up and kept spinning with his hands behind his back, muttering:

"The northern army of Cao's army was mostly military farming soldiers, except for a few, most of them were forced to join the army. These people were not familiar with the terrain, and the locals in Jingzhou were unwilling to fight with Tanzhi. If Tanzhi was careful, they might be able to dispatch everyone. You also said that Lejin was destroying bandits before. If Tanzhi was a thief, how could others compare?

This plan is not feasible elsewhere, and it may not be possible to try it in Xiangyang. If you frankly say, who came up with this?”

Well……

Guan Ping couldn't tell Lu Yi that this was what a person thought of a thousand years later, and he could only say casually:

"This is taught by the famous scholars of our army."

"Mr. Zhuge is indeed extraordinary." Lu Yi subconsciously guessed that this was Zhuge Liang's idea.

Zhuge Liang lived near Xiangyang for a long time and had a deep understanding of the customs and culture of a generation. If it was really Zhuge Liang's idea, it would be impossible to try it.

"I will go with Tanzhi." Lu Yi made a quick judgment.

Guan Ping shook his head and said:

"I only brought three hundred Jingzhou people with me, and Lao Boyan responded on the river."

Lu Yi was stunned and nodded quickly:
Chapter completed!
