Back to the Three Kingdoms

Kuai Yue was surprised, "Trap? How can this happen?" Then he said angrily: "How dare Zhou Yuan lie to me!"

Chen Lang said: "He probably didn't lie to you. Zhou Yu had long been aware of what Zhou Yuan communicated with you. Zhou Yu has never exposed him, but he just tried to use him for tricks."

Kuai Yue clasped his fist and said, "It's a mistake in the next step. Please forgive me, General!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, why apologize!" Kuai Yue saw that Chen Lang didn't mean to blame himself at all, and couldn't help being moved. I subconsciously compared Chen Lang with Liu Biao, only to feel that Chen Lang's mind is much broader than Liu Biao! If this happened to Liu Biao, Liu Biao would at least scold himself!

In the next few days, the scouts continued to hear that the main force of the Jiangdong Army was constantly being transferred from Chibi and Jiangxia to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River. The navy forces had all been assembled in Jiangxia, and various large-scale siege equipment continued to flow. Transported to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, there was no interruption in the noise from morning to night from night to morning. There are various signs that the Jiangdong Army is ready to gather its main force on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, and is ready to cross the Xiangjiang River and attack Jingzhou!

Chen Lang had anticipated this a long time ago. He had already begun to dispatch troops to the Jiangdong Army. Only necessary guards were left in Wulin, Hanyang and other places, and the main force was deployed to the west bank of Xiangjiang River to build fortifications and construction. Fortress, ready to fight.

This morning, Chen Lang was inspecting the defensive situation on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. A Tusk officer suddenly reported: "Master, Mr. Jia Xu is here!"

Chen Lang was overjoyed, "Where's the person?" Then he saw Jia Xu, who was dressed in common clothes and dusty, was walking quickly. Chen Lang immediately greeted him. Jia Xu worshipped: "Subordinates pay respect to the lord!"

Chen Lang helped Jia Xu up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wenhe, you are finally here! Without you by my side, I was so choked by Zhou Yu!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord is too modest! During this period of time, the lord and the Jiangdong army have won each other's victory and defeat, and the lord has not fallen behind!"

Chen Lang laughed loudly and said, "Wen He is here, so I feel more at ease!" He then talked with Jia Xu and walked into the big tent. Sitting down separately, a guard brought tea and retreated. Jia Xu took a few big mouthfuls of tea from the tea bowl, exhaled a long breath, and sighed: "I'm finally alive! I almost died of thirst!"

Jia Xu put down the tea bowl and asked, "Master, I don't know how the current situation is?"

Chen Lang said: "At present, the Jiangdong Army is concentrating its forces on the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, and at the same time all the naval forces are concentrated in Jiangxia. I judge Zhou Yu's intention to contain the Jingzhou navy forces so that they cannot move, and at the same time use the main force of the army to cross Xiangjiang and attack Jingzhou. , In order to seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop to control the battlefield situation!"

Jia Xu's face was thoughtful.

Chen Lang asked: "How is the situation in Luoyang Pass? What big things have happened in the world?"

Jia Xu laughed and said: "Everything is fine in Luoyang Guanzhong. Hundreds of thousands of people who fled Guanzhong have returned to Guanzhong. Guanzhong is recovering like a raging fire. Chang'an is not what it used to be. Although it is not as good as Luoyang, it has already begun. Show the prosperous phenomenon; less than a month from the Hangu Pass Road Fufeng area restored 500,000 acres of fertile land, Guanzhong this year can be more than self-sufficient in grain. The situation is much better than we previously expected! "Chen Lang couldn't help feeling very pleased. Jia Xu continued: "As for the major events in the world, besides the battle of Jingzhou, it is the battle between Dong Zhuotao and Xuzhou."

After a pause, he continued: "Dong Zhuo defeated Ma Teng Han Sui with the cooperation of the Qiangs not long ago. The West County has been lost and Ma Teng Han Sui has retreated to Zhangye. According to reports, Dong Zhuo's army and the Qiang are besieging Zhangye. It is not good for Ma Teng Han Sui. Ma Teng Han Sui's messenger arrived in Luoyang early, and Chen Gong is dealing with him." Chen Lang thoughtfully nodded.

Jia Xu said: "There is another thing. After the fall of Xijun, Qiang people plundered Xijun, the people suffered heavy casualties, and all the women and their belongings were taken away by Qiang people!"

Chen Lang frowned.

Jia Xu said: "As for the battle of Xuzhou, the lord may not have expected the current situation."

Chen Lang looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile, "Is there any change in the battle of Xuzhou?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "In order to deal with Yuan Shu, Tao Qian had to use Lv Bu. However, Tao Qian used Lv Bu to fortify everywhere and did not send enough reinforcements. As a result, Lv Bu won first and then lost and fell into trouble. But Yuan Shu's army followed. The siege of Lu Bu did not go smoothly. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Lu Bu, but they were unable to win it. Instead, they lost a lot. At this time, Yuan Shu used an indirect strategy, which is probably the strategy of General Yang. Hehe, Lu Buben looked down on it. Tao Qian and Tao Qian defended Lv Bu at this time, and the countermeasures were naturally easy to succeed. Lv Bu turned on the battlefield and raided Liu Beijun. Liu Beijun was defeated! Immediately after Yuan Shu's hundreds of thousands of troops rushed up to attack the Xuzhou Army. The Xuzhou Army was caught off guard by three defeats and defeated in three battles. It was defeated by a hundred miles, and all the land north of the Huai River south of Xuzhou fell into Yuan Shu's hands!"

"However, it was when Yuan Shu thought he could take Xuzhou in one fell swoop. That Cao Mengde had a prominent cavalry! Suddenly, he led a hundred thousand elites to advance eastward and took Xuzhou with lightning speed!"

Chen Lang laughed and said: "This is really a twists and turns!" After a pause, he thought: "Brother Meng De is really great! Seize the opportunity to get the chestnut out of the fire!"

Jia Xu nodded in sympathy, and smiled: "Although Cao Mengde is great, it's hard to say whether he can really win this hot potato!" After a pause, "Xuzhou fell, Mi Zhu waited for Xiao Pei to retreat, Tao Qian et al retreated to Xiapi. I guess that the defeated army in the south will also retreat to Xiaopei Xiapi. Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shuze have met head-on, I'm afraid a big battle is inevitable!"

Chen Lang thought to himself: "I'm afraid Brother Meng De can't do his best, he still has to guard against Yuan Shao in the north."

Jia Xu said: "There is something the lord may not know. Although Gongsun Zan has been defeated, but some of his nephews and relatives fled to Changli, linked up with Wuwan Gaoguli, counterattack Youzhou, I heard that the momentum is very unreliable. Weak. Yuan Shao has personally led a large army to reinforce Youzhou."

Chen Lang said in a puzzled way: "In this case, it should be a great opportunity for Brother Meng De. How can he only raise one hundred thousand troops to capture Youzhou?"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The lord forgot about us!"

Chen Lang was taken aback, and then suddenly realized, he smiled: "We have hundreds of thousands of eagles to the west of Brother Meng De, how can he not prevent us!" After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let these things go for the time being." Look. After taking a look at Jia Xu, he asked, "Wenhe, what do you think of the current situation in Jingzhou?"

Jia Xu thought a little bit, and said, "Master, with all due respect, I'm afraid this Jingzhou can't be kept!"

Chen Lang frowned, "Why?"

Jia Xu said: "First of all, the Jingzhou Army has suffered repeated defeats in previous battles. Both soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, while the Jiangdong Army has become stronger and prosperous than before the war. This is a gap in strength. Victory, but did not change this situation; second, the Jiangdong Army has occupied the east bank of Xiangjiang River, as long as it forcibly crosses Xiangjiang River, it can directly reach Jingzhou City, the situation of the defending side is already very unfavorable, this is a gap in geographical advantage; Third, and the most important point. At present, the reason why Jingzhou can persist is because the main hero can roughly dominate the various armies, but Liu Biao is definitely not broad-minded. After all, he is just a weak person, and everyone who is weak is worried about himself. People are more intense than worrying about foreign enemies. I guess we will eventually break with Liu Biaojun. At that time, our army had to retreat to Luoyang, and Jingzhou must be gained by Jiangdong Army!"

Chen Lang smiled bitterly and said: "The analysis of the text and analysis can be said to be instigated!"

Jia Xu clasped his fist and said, "Lord, because he makes Jingzhou something for outsiders, why don't we take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou!" Chen Lang's heart moved. Jia Xu stood up and pleaded: "I also ask the lord to forgive me. When his subordinates pass through Luoyang, they are the masters without authorization. Chen Gong has already mobilized one hundred thousand military roads on the southern border. As long as the lord gives an order, he can enter the country at any time. City!" Wancheng, the northernmost important town in Jingzhou.

Chen Lang said: "Wenhe is not guilty. As a military teacher, he has the right to make immediate decisions." After a pause, he looked at Jia Xu and said: "Wenhe and Gongtai must have seen Yuan Shao trying to put down the chaos, De has gone to fight Xuzhou again, so I think we can free our hands, right?" Jia Xu clasped his fist and said, "The lord is wise!"

Chen Lang thought to himself: "If I want to raid Jingzhou, I will use the excuse to adjust the defense and gather all the Eagle Yang troops to break in and seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop when passing through Jingzhou!" Jia Xu clasped his fist and said: "The lord is wise! At the same time, I am anxious. Ling Gongtai led the 100,000 troops that had been prepared to rush south, capturing Wancheng to reinforce Jingzhou with lightning speed, and then resisting the joint attack of Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army based on Jingzhou! But this is the worst case! Roughly speaking, the talented talents of Jingzhou will be able to win a considerable number of Jingzhou army surrenders!"

Chen Lang thought for a moment, and said flatly: "Just do it!" Then he raised his voice: "Call General Zhao Yun, General Xu Huang, General Dianwei!" The guard at the door promised and ran down. After a while, the three generals of Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Dianwei came to the big tent and paid respect to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang pointed at Jia Xu and said; "Mr. Wenhe just arrived." The three generals said together: "Military Master!" Jia Xu smiled and replied: "I have seen all the generals!"

Chen Lang first recounted the current situation in the world, and then recounted Jia Xu's analysis. Dian Wei couldn't help but yelled: "I can't understand that old boy! Let's leave him alone, and we will return to Luoyang!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I went back to Luoyang in this way. Didn't I miss a great opportunity to seize Jingzhou?"

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang looked at each other, Zhao Yun clasped a fist and asked, "Does the military master want to do something with Liu Biao?"
