The Three Kingdoms have signed for 30 years, and I am in charge of the universe

Chapter 83 Target Xiangyang, the whole army attacks

Nanjun, Hanjun Junzhai, Zhongjun Baozhangzhong.

"Feng Xiao, have all the armies returned?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Return to Your Majesty, except for the soldiers from Wuling County and Nanyang County, all the other groups have returned."

Guo Jia, who was reviewing the battle report and checking his achievements, heard Liu Hong's question and replied in a deep voice.

"Now, six of the seven counties in Jingzhou have come under the rule of the Han Dynasty. Only Xiangyang and Jiangxia, the administrative offices of Jingzhou, are still in the hands of Liu Biao.

Feng Xiao thought, what should our army do next? "

Liu Hong looked at the map of Jingzhou, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think it is safest for our army to take Xiangyang first and then Jiangxia!"

Hearing that Liu Hong asked for advice, Guo Jia replied.

"Oh? Why did you take Xiangyang first, and then Jiangxia?"

Liu Hong asked suspiciously.

From Liu Hong's point of view, Xiangyang City is the seat of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao's headquarters is located.

"Your Majesty, listen to Jia's detailed explanation.

There are two reasons why Jia suggested taking Xiangyang first and then Jiangxia.

First, Xiangyang City is the seat of Jingzhou and Liu Biao's base camp. Although the city is strong and the defenders are all Jingzhou's elite, there is only one city and one water fortress.

Our army only needs to dispatch Gan Ning's troops to block the Yangtze River to prevent the Jiangxia army from coming along the river, and send a partial division to deter the Xiangyang navy, and then we can use all our troops to attack the city without worry.

Even if Xiangyang City is a fortress of copper and iron, under the successive attacks of our army of 10,000+ troops, it is easy to break it.

Once Xiangyang City is captured and Liu Biao and other Jingzhou civil and military officials are captured alive, it can be announced to the world that Jingzhou has been broken by our army, and the land of Jingzhou will return to the rule of the Han Dynasty, deterring the heroes of the Central Plains who covet the land of Jingzhou.

If our army abandons Xiangyang and turns to attack Jiangxia, it will be just the opposite.

If Xiangyang is not destroyed, Liu Biao will not perish. Once the heroes of the Central Plains send troops to Nanyang, our army will face two-line warfare, or even multi-line warfare, which is not good for our army.

Moreover, to attack Jiangxia, the army of land and water must advance in parallel to achieve full success.

At that time, if Liu Biao sent troops from Xiangyang to attack Nanjun from land, or cooperated with the heroes of the Central Plains to attack Nanyang, Nanyang would be in danger.

If Liu Biao sent Cai Mao's navy to march down the river to harass our army's food roads, or cooperate with Jiangxia's navy to attack Gan Ning's troops, once Gan Ning was defeated, our army would have no more sailors to use.

Once the navy is lost, our army will be defeated in the battle of Jingzhou.

We can only retreat to the four counties of Lingling, Changsha, Wuling and Guiyang.

If so, our army will lose control of Nanjun.

If Nanjun falls into the hands of Liu Biao, the Nanyang Wenpin Department will become a lone army, and tens of thousands of troops will be reduced to Liu Biao's pocket.

If this is the case, our army can only use the land of the four counties as the foundation to manage half of Jingzhou under its rule.

As long as Liu Biao does not die, our army will never have the chance to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and conquer the entire territory of Jingzhou. "

Guo Jia changed from his former unrestrained attitude, and said with a straight face.

Guo Jia stood up and came to the map, pointing out the places where battles might take place and the marching routes to Liu Hong one by one.

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Hong was taken aback. He secretly said that he was careless and was dazzled by the victory. If Guo Jia's words came true, he would follow Liu Bei's old path.

At that time, if the Han army deviates from Hanzhong's strategy of attacking Yongliang, he will hardly have the opportunity to attack the Central Plains in his life, and he will completely follow Liu Bei's old path.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly rejoiced that Guo Jia was there.

"Fortunately, Fengxiao taught me, otherwise I would almost make a big mistake."

Liu Hong got up to go, took Guo Jia's hand affectionately, and said with a smile.

"This is a matter of Jiafen!"

Guo Jia laughed.

"According to Feng Xiao's words, order the whole army to mobilize all the troops in three days and go straight to Xiangyang. Order Gan Ning's troops to return to Xiangyang and block the waterway from Jiangxia to Xiangyang."

Liu Hong said solemnly.

"According to the order!"

Guo Jia responded, and went out of the treasure account of the Chinese Army to give Liu Hong's order.

"I will never follow Liu Daer's old path!"

Liu Hong murmured.

Three days later, the Han army stationed in Nanjun marched across the board towards Xiangyang.

In addition to the [-] troops of Nanyang Wenpin, Liu Hong left [-] garrisons each in Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, [-] garrisons in Wuling County, and [-] garrisons in Nanjun County. Ten thousand defenders.

In this attack on Xiangyang, Liu Hong recruited soldiers from the other five counties except Nanyang, with 15 troops in his headquarters, with Zhao Yun's [-] cavalry as the vanguard, Dian Wei as the front army, Xue Rengui as the middle army, Xu Chu as the rear army, and Gan Shuo as the rear army. Ning led the navy as a partial division, advancing both land and water, and headed to Xiangyang.

Ten days later, the Han army arrived thirty miles outside Xiangyang City. During this period, the Han army rode on horseback and fought several times with Jingzhou Tanma, causing mutual casualties.

"Your Majesty, just camp here!"

In the army, Guo Jia said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Liu Hong nodded in response.

"Order all the troops to set up camp on the spot!"

Liu Hong gave instructions to Jin Yiwei beside him.

"According to the order!"

The commander of Jin Yiwei responded, separated a few cavalry, scattered in all directions, and went to each army to deliver orders.

In Xiangyang City!

"Report, report to Zhou Mu, the Han army has arrived thirty miles outside Xiangyang City and is camping!"

A small school ran into the meeting hall to report.

As the news of the arrival of the Han army outside the city of Xiangyang spread to everyone's ears, everyone's expressions changed, and Kuai Liang even lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The Han army has arrived, what can you teach me about love?"

With a gloomy face, Liu Biao waved back the small school and asked in a deep voice.

"Zirou, you speak first!"

Looking around, seeing that no one came out to answer, Liu Biao's eyes flickered with murderous intent, and he called Kuai Liang's name.

"Returning to the lord, Liang thought that our army could go to the city to observe the Han army, and he was making plans!"

Being called by Liu Biao again, Kuai Liang smiled helplessly and answered after leaving the shift.

"Okay, according to Zirou's words, dear friends, follow me to the city to see the appearance of the Han army."

Liu Biao said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Hearing Liu Biao's order, Jingzhou Wenwu responded with a helpless wry smile.

After a stick of incense, Liu Biao walked in front, wearing a golden armor, a golden helmet, a red war robe, and a sword hanging from his waist.

Behind Liu Biao, followed by a group of civil and military ministers from Jingzhou. The civil servants wore Confucian armor and hung swords at their waists. The generals were neatly dressed and armed with weapons.

"Hiss, the Han army is really strong!"

Going up the city wall, all Jingzhou civil and military personnel looked at the Han army barracks and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

"Zirou, in your opinion, when will the Han army attack the city?"

Liu Biao stood with his sword and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to my lord, Liang thought that the Han army would not attack the city in a short period of time, but tomorrow someone will definitely come to the city to investigate the reality of our army, and there will even be a general from the Han army to challenge."

Kuai Liang, wearing a Confucian armor and standing with his sword, replied.

"Now that the Han army has not gained a firm foothold, and the military camp has not yet been established, if sending troops out of the city to charge the battle, will the Han army be in chaos?"

Liu Biao asked in a deep voice, looking at the Han army who were building a military camp thirty miles away.

　I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion!
