Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

"hiss!"

When Xi Zhong and Li Dian heard this, they both gasped.

Before they came, they thought that the Jingzhou navy was completely wiped out because of lax defense.

Didn't expect the truth to be like this?

If this is the case, then this time the enemy's surprise attack was not prepared to give the Jingzhou navy a chance to defend it!

Almost all actions are arranged for the defense of the Jingzhou navy!

Thinking of this, Xi Zhong frowned and said:

"I didn't expect that the enemy army would choose to use a foggy day to break your army's defense!"

"This kind of tactics, basically as long as you stick to it, you can't hold it!"

"On the contrary, it's a struggle to have a little chance!"

"Yes!"

Kuai Yue heard this and sighed:

"It is because our army sticks to it wholeheartedly that the entire navy was wiped out just now!"

"Alien, stop talking!"

Hearing this, Liu Biao showed a trace of irritability on his face and said:

"Tell me about the current situation!"

"promise!"

Kuai Yue responded, although he really wanted to complain to his brother, but seeing that Liu Biao didn't want to listen, he had no choice but to say:

"As for the subsequent situation, our army will be more and more caught off guard!"

"First of all, after the enemy army defeated the water army, they did not choose to fight with our army in Jiangxia, but raided our army in Nanyang along the waterway that day!"

"What our army thought before was that the general offensive of the enemy army should be carried out after autumn!"

"But the enemy army did not do this, but chose to raid into the hinterland and grab our army's food and grass before our army's food and grass were harvested!"

"Now, almost all the grain and grass that have not been harvested along the Yangtze River have been harvested by the enemy!"

"Recently, our army has also received news that the enemy's follow-up troops have assembled a large number of soldiers and horses. I think the enemy will launch a large-scale attack in the near future!"

"That is to say, the enemy army has not only broken into the hinterland of Jingzhou, but also obtained food and grass for the march?"

When Xi Zhong heard this, his brows were furrowed and he said:

"Lord Kuai, in response to this situation, may I ask what strategy your army has adopted to deal with it?"

Seeing this point, Kuai Yue said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Xi, this is why our army is so anxious to ask for help this time!"

"Because in the land of Jingzhou, the waterways are unimpeded. Once our army's navy is wiped out, the Yangtze River is equivalent to a channel for the enemy's army, and there is no obstacle!"

"I heard that the enemy army raided Nanjun to harvest food and grass, so I inferred that the enemy army wanted to fight a quick attack!"

"But the enemy army is deep into the hinterland after all, and has no foundation, so what I mean is, before the enemy army has a firm foothold, wipe out this advance army that has penetrated into the hinterland!"

"But now there are still soldiers and horses following the enemy army, so for the time being, our army just mobilized the [-] soldiers and horses that had previously aided Jiangxia to go west, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses of the four southern counties to go north!"

"This is the preparation of our army. The purpose of Mr. Asking for Help is to borrow the power of your army to go south with our army to besiege the enemy army!"

"So the number of soldiers and horses, sir, is crucial!"

Hearing what Kuai Yue said, Liu Biao gave Xi Zhong an embarrassed smile and said:

"Our army does not have many troops in Xiangyang, and we are afraid of the enemy's surprise attack, so we can only rely on your army!"

"I also hope that Mister can send the troops from the north bank to the south as soon as possible, so that we can annihilate the enemy with our army!"

As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on his old face and said:

"Don't worry, sir. After repelling Sun Jian's army, I will make up for the loss of soldiers, horses and food this time, and I will give you a generous gift!"

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Xi Zhong showed a bit of bitterness on his face and said:

"My lord, I'm afraid the current problem is not so simple anymore!"

"In my opinion, this siege may not have any effect!"

"On the contrary, it is a waste of troops!"

"What? The siege won't work?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Kuai Yue was surprised and hurriedly asked Xi Zhong:

"Why did you say that, sir?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhong shook his head, looked at Kuai Yue and said:

"May I ask Mr. Kuai, will Jiangling City really be able to hold on until our army goes south?"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the four southern counties?"

"Can your army guarantee that the soldiers and horses from the four southern counties will be transferred?"

"Finally, I would like to ask again, did your army arrange a specific commander for this siege? And how do you coordinate the siege?"

Listening to Xi Zhong's four questions, Kuai Yue narrowed his eyes and said:

"What do you mean sir?"

"Ugh!"

When Xi Zhong heard this, he shook his head and said:

"Don't you all see it?"

"This time, the enemy army came prepared!"

"This is a large-scale strategy, and the tactics are interlocking. There is no room for luck. If these cannot be determined, how can it be the enemy's opponent!"

"Large strategy?"

Hearing Xi Zhong's words, everyone was shocked again.

But Kuai Yue said doubtfully;

"Sir, can you tell me what the enemy's strategy is?"

Seeing Kuai Yue's appearance, Xi Zhong secretly shook his head again. Before he came, he had heard about the reputation of the Kuai brothers.

It is expected that the two of them are also resourceful people, but they did not expect that their resourcefulness was all focused on seeking themselves, people, and the country. They are obviously not very proficient in this strategy!

This kind of resourceful people can seek the country and seek people, but if they go to war, they will abuse second-rate talents.

For a person like Bai Liming who knows everything about military strategy, intrigue and trickery, it's like sending food!

Seeing this situation, he didn't care about any words to avoid suspicion, stood up firmly and said to Liu Biao:

"Liu Shijun, in my opinion, this time Sun Jian's army is not a single raid at all, but a gradual and comprehensive attack!"

"The enemy's annihilation of the Jingzhou navy this time was not aimed at the Jingzhou navy, but to open the waterway!"

"This is also the reason why the enemy army did not fight with Jiangxia's defenders after opening the waterway, but went directly to the hinterland!"

"Because their strategy from the beginning was to open the waterway!"

"And after opening the waterway, the enemy's second step is to grab and cut the food and grass to gain a firm foothold!"

"Although I don't know what the enemy's third strategy is, you can think about it. Since this is a part of the strategy, how could Bai Liming fail to consider 963's reaction from your army?"

"You know, when Bai Liming pacified Jiangdong in the first battle, he used a quick attack!"

"Almost every place I go to, I conquer it immediately, and then go to the next place!"

"Such a person planned a perfect raid, and immediately attacked the hinterland of Jingzhou after the raid. Could it be that he was not prepared?"

"Don't he know that there is no place to stand, and he will be surrounded and wiped out soon?"

"And that's where the problem lies!"

"This person can predict these things, but he still follows this path, which means that this move of your army is consistent with his next strategic goal!"

"From this point of view, I'm sure that the siege will not only be ineffective, but your army will suffer another big loss!"

Speaking of this, Xi Zhong showed a solemn face and said:

"You may not have been in contact with Bai Liming, and you are not familiar with this person!"

"This person is very good at calculating, and the most taboo thing to play against this person is to act according to the routine!"

"Because all routine actions will be used by him in his calculations. Once you use conventional methods to deal with it, you have fallen into this person's scheme!"

"And now, during this period of time, your army may have fallen into his trap!"

"This this"

Hearing this, Liu Biao and everyone in the hall were shocked.

Xi Zhong doesn't think so.

After Xi De Xizhong said this, they realized that it seemed to be true!

Since Bai Liming could predict their actions, then they acted according to this action. On the other hand, didn't they fall into this person's scheme!

Thinking of this, Liu Biao hurriedly asked Xi Zhong:

"What does Mr. Yi mean to say, our army can't defend Jiangling? Could the reinforcements sent by our army be defeated by this person?"

"Exactly!"

Xi Zhong said in a deep voice:

"Since Bailiming dares to take this step as part of his strategy, he has a way to complete it. Jiangling will never be able to defend it!"

"And if Jiangling is lost, then these reinforcements will die if they go to reinforce them!"

"Quick!"

When Liu Biao heard this, he hurriedly got up and shouted:

"Come quickly, order Cai Mao to stop defending Jiangling!"

"Order Liu Pan to stop marching into Jiangling!"

"Give it all back to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sergeant rushing out.

But in the next second, I saw a sergeant walking in:

"My lord, it's not good. Our army Jiangling has been captured by the enemy. General Cai Mao is defeated and is leading the remnant army back to Xiangyang!"

"Jiangling was captured?"

When Liu Biao heard this, his eyes widened, and he fell back weakly.

When Kuai Yue heard this, his heart trembled, it's only been a few days!

The fortified city of Jiangling was captured?

Only Xi Zhong shook his head and sighed when he saw this.

The corruption of the situation on the South Bank is already beyond his imagination! .

Chapter 173 Bai Liming's Third Step Strategy, Xizhong's Shock

"Mr. Xi, in your opinion, what should our army do now?"

After a short period of absent-mindedness, Liu Biao immediately stood up and looked towards Xi Zhong.

It was as if a person who was about to fall into the water caught a life-saving straw!

It wasn't until now that he discovered that he was a ghost in culture and education, full of civil and military affairs, and he couldn't see clearly like Cao Jun just came here!

And since Xi Zhong can see Bai Liming's routine clearly, he should have a way to resist it!

Listening to Liu Biao's words, all the civil and military personnel in the hall, including Kuai Yue, showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces.
