The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 229
Liu Xiao was really annoyed. Once this ram was injured, it brought him quite a lot of trouble. Not only was he missing a hero, but it also hurt the morale of his own soldiers. Staying in the two prefectures of Hebei and Qinghai, Xue Rengui, Dianwei and Mu Guiying are the only ones who can be alone in their hands. sky!

Dian Wei's face was flushed by Liu Xiao's scolding, he was obedient and dared not answer.

Xun You said in a deep voice: "Lord, don't worry too much. Even though Liu Xiao won a small victory today, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. We just need to hold on to the camp and not give Liu Bei a chance to attack. Even though Liu Bei has a strong army, he still can't do anything to us. Now the key to victory is no longer with us, but with Gong Jin and Zi Long. The two of them only need to turn Jingzhou upside down, and it will be difficult for Liu Biao not to withdraw his troops!"

Liu Xiao took a deep breath, and he also knew that now Zhou Yu led a new force to attack Xiangyang, and it was the winner of this battle. As long as Zhou Yu succeeded, not only Liu Bei, but even Liu Biao could not escape the fate of defeat. However, Liu Xiao Xiao himself is really not reconciled, let Liu Bei be forced to such a point, it is really aggrieved...

However, what the war consumes is the patience and endurance of both sides, to see who can hold on.

At any rate, Liu Xiao can still hold his ground. At least as long as Guo Fengxiao and Gao Chong can block Cai Mao and Wenpin and protect the food road behind, he can be invincible here. For Liu Bei, it is not so easy up.

Now that the arrival of Liu Pan's army has caused Liu Bei's military strength to surge from more than 7 to more than 2, the increase in strength is nearly one-third. The most troublesome thing for Liu Bei is the food and grass. Although Lujiang City has been preserved, most of the food and grass They were all burned, and the remaining food and grass supplying Liu Bei's army could only last for more than ten days. Now, there was a sudden increase of [-] people, which made the supply of food and grass even tighter, and it could even last for seven or eight days. Not bad at all.

Liu Bei has also discovered this problem now. Yes, he has the upper hand, but once the supply of food and grass in the rear is cut off, it will be miserable. With more than 7 troops, how will they survive?
"My lord, we can't move forward now, we can only stay here, and fight Liu Xiao for a decisive battle, a quick battle, a quick battle must be done!"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice.

"A quick fix?"

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said: "To put it simply, Yuan Zhi, you have also seen that the deployment of Liu Xiao's camp on the opposite side is extremely strict. You can tell at a glance that the commander on the opposite side is definitely a handsome man who knows how to fight and defend. Compared with you and me No one below, most of us have infantry in our hands, and we can't break through their archer defense at all, let alone an elite cavalry in their hands..."

Xu Shu said helplessly: "If we can't make a quick decision, given the current situation, we might as well retreat to Lujiang City, rely on the Yangtze River, and urge Jiangxia County to bring in a steady stream of grain and grass. Naturally, we will be invincible. We only need Wenpin and Cai Mao The two generals captured Huainan County, sent troops to the south, attacked back and forth, Liu Xiao will definitely be defeated!"

Liu Pan shook his head and said, "Uncle, military advisor, why should you be so afraid of Liu Xiao? Now that our army is strong and strong, it is the best time to defeat Liu Xiao's army at once! A certain person is willing to serve as the front with General Han Sheng, Launch an attack on Liu Xiao's camp overnight!"

Huang Zhong sighed: "My lord, there are many powerful generals under Liu Xiao's command. The former Dian Wei is already extremely brave, and then Xue Rengui appeared, who is even better than Dian Wei. Even if the last general exerts all his strength, It's just that it can be evenly divided, and it is too difficult to defeat Xue Rengui. I heard that Liu Xiao himself is also the champion of the three armies, and he is not inferior to the three generals. He is so strong, how can we rashly launch a decisive battle?"

Liu Xiao's troops are slightly weaker. Although Liu Bei is strong, it is still difficult to gain an absolute advantage. In the next half month, the two armies will fight several times in a row, and they can only win and lose each other. It is difficult for anyone to gain an absolute advantage. However, the supply of food and grass in Liu Bei's rear became more and more difficult, so Liu Bei finally had to retreat towards Lujiang City.

At this point, the two armies completely confronted each other in the Lujiang City area.

It's just that while the main forces of the two armies were confronting each other, Zhou Yu had already commanded [-] troops and arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Gongjin, the other side of the Yangtze River is Jiangxia County. The prefect Huang Zu has guarded Jiangxia County for nearly ten years. He has deployed a large number of beacon towers along the Yangtze River. They were originally to guard against Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's attack on Jingzhou. It has become an obstacle for us to attack Jingzhou, with a [-] army, how can we cross the Yangtze River estuary without anyone noticing?"

Zhao Yun asked Zhou Yu in a deep voice.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Zhou Yu smiled lightly and said, "Now Jiangxia County's military strength has been brought to Huainan County by Diploma and Cai Mao. The entire Jiangxia garrison strength is only 3000 to [-] people, scattered over the county town and the pass of the Yangtze River. We only need one army to lurk. Cross the Yangtze River, eat up the troops deployed by Huang Zu in one fell swoop, and you can take down the ferry in an instant, and then the army will cross the Yangtze River and enter Jiangxia City, leaving Huang Zu dead without a place to die!"

"However, the other side is tightly guarded, how can we avoid the other side's investigation?"

Zhao Yun asked.

Zhou Yu said with a smile, "General Zilong, it's up to you. Choose two hundred elite soldiers from the army to lie in the boats on the river, and another hundred people to drive several large boats, fly white flags, and pretend to be Lujiang Zhou. The family is old and heartbroken, and if they want to return to Jingxiang, the Jingzhou army must be unprepared. Once the big ship docks, immediately attack, seize the ferry, kill the Jingzhou garrison, and welcome my army to cross the Yangtze River and go straight to Jiangxia!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Gongjin has a great plan. This time, I will lead the army personally. As long as I successfully land on the shore, the Yangtze River Ferry will change hands in an instant!"

Zhao Yun personally selected two hundred elite soldiers from the army, took off their armor, hid all their swords and swords in coffins on the deck, abandoned the warships, and chose merchant ships to leave the Yangtze River ferry and head straight to the opposite bank.

Just as Zhou Yu said, the three big ships, with two hundred soldiers on board, showed nothing at all. The coffins were placed on the deck, carrying white flags, and all of them were dressed as sailors. There were constant exchanges, but it really didn't attract the attention of the Jingzhou army on the other side.

Zhao Yun led two hundred elites and crossed the mouth of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop. When they boarded the ferry on the other side, the Jingzhou army on the other side realized that something was wrong. 300 people?Moreover, all the mourners are young and strong young people, there are no old people or children, so I'm afraid there may be fraud!
