Chapter 56
Qin Qiong beheaded two generals in the first battle and seriously injured Jingzhou general Liu Pan, causing chaos in the Jingzhou army and prompting the Han army to win the first battle.

In this battle, the Han army killed [-] Jingzhou troops, captured [-] prisoners alive, and killed more than a dozen generals. The Jingzhou army's vitality was severely damaged, forcing the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou army, Wen Pin, to retreat into the Jingzhou army camp and attack the Han army. Stay on guard and wait for reinforcements.

However, Qin Qiong suffered internal injuries, which Liu Hong never expected. He had just entered the territory of Nanjun in Jingzhou, and he lost two generals, Wang Ying and Li Kui, and injured a general. Liu Hong was a little hesitant.

"Feng Xiao, now that Wenpin is huddled in the barracks, what should our army do next? Need to attack Wenpin's headquarters?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

Since the last defeat of the Jingzhou army, the Han army and the Jingzhou army have been facing each other for three full days. During these three days, no matter how the Han army provokes, Wenpin has been standing still, hiding in the barracks, and relying on the military fortress to defend against the Han army's attack.

"Your Majesty, I thought our army could divide up and bypass Wenpin's department.

The surprise troops were divided into two groups to attack the four counties of Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling and Changsha.

As long as these four counties are captured, the passage from Yizhou to southern Jingzhou can be fully opened.

At that time, the Wenpin Office stationed in Nanjun will be the turtle in the urn, and let our army slaughter it.

When our army completely occupies the southern part of Jingzhou, we will further erode the entire Jingzhou based on the four counties in the southern part of Jingzhou. "

Guo Jia pointed to the map of southern Jingzhou and analyzed it step by step for Liu Hong.

"Before dividing the troops, we must also consider Wenpin's troops, and there will certainly not be many troops that can be divided.

How can we successfully capture the remaining four counties at that time, and how can we ensure that they will not be defeated by Liu Biao? "

Liu Hong asked worriedly.

For Guo Jia's strategy, Liu Hong still agrees very much, but considering the risks of doing so, he is a little worried whether the gain will outweigh the loss.

Historically, Zhuge Liang planned this for Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of Zhou Yu's plan to imprison Liu Bei in the name of marriage, and borrowed part of the county seat of Nanjun from Soochow.

Then send Liu Bei to Soochow to paralyze Zhou Yu, and use the counties of Nanjun as the foundation to rapidly expand the army and accumulate strength.

Then he used a plan to welcome Liu Bei back, and took advantage of the aftermath of the Battle of Chibi and the chaos in Jingzhou to send troops from Nanjun to capture the four counties of Lingling, Wuling, Changsha, and Guiyang respectively, completing his plan to further accumulate strength and expand his territory.

Let Liu Bei have the capital and strength to enter Yizhou.

Based on the four counties, he led his troops into Yizhou at the invitation of Liu Zhang, claiming to assist Liu Zhang in attacking Zhang Lu, but in fact it was to plot against Yizhou.

In the end, with the help of Zhang Song, Fazheng and the Yizhou Leading Party, they won the entire Yizhou and achieved the foundation of three parts of the world.

But now Guo Jia's strategy for Liu Hongxian is just a reversal of Zhuge Liang's one-third plan.

Taking Yizhou as the foundation, he dispatched troops to Nanjun, waited for an opportunity to attack the four counties of Lingling, and finally completed three divisions of the world, and took the entire original Shuhan territory as his own, making Liu Hong one step ahead of the world's heroes and remain invincible.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. There has been no fighting in the counties of Jingzhou for a long time, and the soldiers have not been trained and have little combat effectiveness.

Wenpin was newly defeated, and the news of the defeat had not yet reached Liu Biao's ears, so he would not increase his troops to the four counties in advance.

Since there are civil servants here, no one would have expected that our army would be able to divide our troops to attack the four counties, so I expected that the defense of these four counties would be sparse.

Therefore, Jia thought that His Majesty only needed to send four generals to lead thousands of elite soldiers to attack the four counties by surprise before receiving the letter of appointment and sending more troops to the four counties to successfully capture the land of the four counties. "

Guo Jia analyzed Liu Hong confidently.

"This……"

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Liu Hong pondered, unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Okay, according to the plan of filial piety, come here, pass Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, Xu Chu, Dianwei, Lu Zhishen five generals to come."

After weighing for a long time, Liu Hongcai gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said in a deep voice.

"According to the order!"

Seeing that Liu Hong had adopted his plan, Guo Jia smiled and smiled.

"I will meet your Majesty at the end!"

Not long after, Zhao Yun and five people entered the treasure account of the Chinese army and saluted Liu Hong.

"Be flat!"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"I want to adopt the strategy of filial piety, and divide my troops to attack Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and Changsha four counties. Who is willing to follow me to delay Wenpin, and who is willing to surprise the four counties for me?"

Pointing at the map of the four counties, Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"It's up to His Majesty to decide, and the general is willing to die for His Majesty!"

Five people responded at the same time.

"Okay, Xue Rengui listens to the order!"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end is here!"

Xue Rengui responded.

"I ordered you to lead [-] troops to surprise Lingling!"

Liu Hong took out the command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Xue Rengui responded.

"The prefect of Lingling is a relative of the Han family, and he may be recruited to surrender, but there is one person to be careful about in this trip. There is a general in Lingling, named Xing Daorong. His strength is unknown, but his reputation is great. Rengui needs to be careful."

Liu Hong exhorted.

"The general will obey the order and will surely capture Lingling!"

Xue Rengui promised.

After finishing speaking, he picked up the command arrow given by Liu Hong and walked out of the account of the Chinese army. Not long after, there was a sound of people screaming and the army marching out of the account.

"Zhao Yun obeys!"

Xue Rengui left, and Liu Hong gave orders again.

"The end is here!"

Zhao Yun responded.

"I ordered you to lead [-] cavalry troops from the headquarters to go out to Wenpin camp to challenge. You must not let Wenpin go, let alone send troops to pursue Xue Rengui."

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The end will follow the order!"

"Zilong, whether our army can successfully take down the four counties depends entirely on whether Zilong can hold back Wenpin."

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"The last general will never let Wenpin and his soldiers go!"

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he picked up the command arrow, went out of the Chinese army's treasure account, mobilized the cavalry of the headquarters, left the camp and went straight to the Jingzhou army camp.

"Lu Zhishen, I order you to lead [-] soldiers to make a surprise attack on Wuling County. There is no general guarding Wuling County, and the prefect is even more incompetent. You only need the driver to make a surprise attack, and you will be able to accomplish everything."

Liu Hong handed the command arrow to Lu Zhishen and explained in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Lu Zhishen responded, picked up the command arrow, left the treasure account of the Chinese army, dispatched troops and generals, and went straight to Wuling County.

"Xu Chu, I ordered you to lead [-] troops to attack Guiyang by surprise. Although Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, has no great talent, he is enough to govern a county. If you can surrender, don't kill him."

Liu Hong took out the command arrow and said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Xu Chu took the command arrow and said in response.

"Dian Wei, I ordered you to lead [-] soldiers to attack Changsha County by surprise. The prefect of Changsha is loyal to Liu Biao, but there is a young general in the city named Wei Yan. Let’s meet, don’t hurt his name.”

Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"The end will follow the order!"

Dian Wei responded, and after speaking, he took the order arrow and went out with Xu Chu. He gathered the treasure account of the Chinese army and dispatched troops and generals to Guiyang and Changsha respectively.

"Feng Xiao, can we successfully take down the four counties with [-] troops?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The defenders of the four counties are only a few thousand. With the ability of the four generals, they can successfully capture the four counties."

Guo Jia laughed.

"I hope so!"

Liu Hong murmured.
