Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

After Liu Yu occupied Xiangyang, he did not rush to send troops to Yizhou. Instead, he brought a group of civil and military officials to carefully simulate the situation in front of the sand table.

Guo Jia had already studied the war to capture Yizhou. He looked at the sand table and was the first to speak.

"My lord, Yizhou has a dangerous terrain. If we march by land, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easy to be ambushed by the enemy. I suggest attacking Yizhou by water."

Guo Jia slowly walked to the sand table, looked at the crisscrossing rivers, and said: "If we enter Yizhou by water, we need to send troops from Nanjun, go up the river, pass Zigui, Baidicheng, and reach Jiangzhou.

Once Jiangzhou is occupied, most of the affairs of Yizhou will be settled. Jiangzhou has a dangerous terrain. To the south, they can capture Langzhong along the Han River, attack Fuxian and Mianzhu along the Fu River, or break through Jiangyang along the Luo River and go straight to Chengdu.

On the road to Jiangzhou, Baidi City is an important town. Cao Cao sent General Yu Jin to guard it. Yu Jin had fought with Cao Cao in many battles in the south and made great achievements. If we want to capture Baidi City, we will probably have to go through a fierce battle. "

When Liu Yu heard about Baidi City, he was stunned and speechless for a moment. In history, Liu Bei once led an army of 700,000 to attack Eastern Wu, but was burned down by Lu Xun. After the defeat, he retreated to Baidi City. From this we can see that Baidi City has tight defenses and is not easy to break.

"How much military power does Yu Jin have? I am willing to lead the soldiers to attack Baidi City and present Yu Jin's head to the emperor's uncle."

Zhang Fei returned from pacifying Changsha with a heroic look on his face. He believed that with the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, Yu Jin would be no problem at all.

"Yide, your courage is commendable, but if we attack Baidi City by water, we will have to go upstream. Does Gongjin have any countermeasures for this?"

Zhou Yu was wearing white armor, which set off his handsome face and made him look even more radiant.

"Uncle, going upstream requires a large amount of manpower. As long as there is sufficient manpower, it will not be difficult to reach Baidi City smoothly."

The meaning of Zhou Yu's words was very clear. To go upstream, one would need twice as many troops as usual.

Only with so many soldiers can we play our due role in capturing Baidi City.

After a moment's silence, Liu Yu began to give orders.

"Yide, Gongjin, you two should immediately take your men back to Nanjun to prepare for battle. Remember, the momentum of the military must be very large."

Zhang Fei was a little confused.

"If this momentum is too loud, won't it be very easy for Yu Jin and others to discover my intention to capture Baidi City?"

At this time, Liu Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he responded slowly: "Don't worry, Yide. The current situation is very clear, Cao Cao will definitely deploy countless scouts in Jingzhou.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to mobilize our army on a large scale without leaving any trace.

In this case, it would be better to deliberately create a bigger momentum. Only in this way can the other party be frightened and defeated!"

Zhang Fei's originally frowned brows relaxed instantly, and his eyes flashed with excitement, as if the fog in his heart was blown away by a breeze, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

He patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take care of this matter! I will definitely fulfill my mission and get the job done properly!"

The heroic voice echoed in the air, making people feel excited.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, revealing a faint confidence and calmness. He said softly: "There is one more thing, please keep it in mind. When to set out from Nanjun, everything must wait for my military order, and you must not act without authorization."

Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu responded in unison: "I obey your orders!"

Then he turned around and left, going to Nanjun to reorganize the army.

At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly seemed to smell something unusual, and a barely perceptible look of thought emerged on his face, which was originally as calm as water.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze was fixed on Liu Yu like a torch, as if he wanted to find the deeper meaning hidden in the other person's words and expressions.

After a brief silence, Guo Jia finally spoke slowly.

He leaned forward slightly and asked Liu Yu in a tone full of doubt and inquiry: "My lord, from what you said just now, do you think that there are many problems in attacking Yizhou by water?"

Liu Yu nodded gently, staring into the distance, and said slowly: "The terrain of Sichuan and Shu is dangerous, complex and changeable, far beyond my expectations.

Attacking Yizhou by water is indeed a feasible way, but in order to sail against the current, the number of troops we need to deploy must be several times that of the enemy.

I've just been thinking about this for a long time and I don't think this is a foolproof strategy."

Guo Jia was well aware of Liu Yu's concerns. He knew that Liu Huangshu was not only wise, steady and experienced, but also kind and benevolent.

This kind of leniency is by no means a pretense to win people's hearts, but rather comes from the kindness and compassion that comes from the heart.

Because of this, Liu Yu would think more carefully when planning strategies, striving to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

In Liu Huangshu's heart, he could truly feel the importance of life.

After every major battle, Uncle Liu would always remain silent when he saw the corpses strewn all over the ground.

Some people praised Liu Bei for being neither arrogant when he won nor discouraged when he lost. However, Guo Jia, who followed Liu Bei, felt clearly that this had nothing to do with winning or losing, but had a lot to do with life and death.

There were many times when Liu Yu would behave like this even when the enemy suffered heavy casualties.

After the war, Liu Yu must have buried all the bodies deep inside. Liu Yu explained that it was to control the spread of the disease.

But Guo Jia clearly felt a sense of responsibility to ensure that the dead were buried in peace.

"My lord, you asked Yide to bluff in Nanjun. I guess he is preparing to attack another place?"

Liu Yu pointed to a spot on the sand table and said, "Those who know me well are filial. I plan to let Yide attract Cao's attention in Nanjun, and I will lead the soldiers to attack Nanzheng directly from the Mian River."

Guo Jia seemed to be thinking about something.

"If we can take Nanzheng, we can cut off Cao Cao's escape route. But..."
