Chapter 99 Stalemate(1/3)
After some analysis by Pang Tong.
Guan Yu also slowly thought about the new combat plan.
"What the military advisor said is true!"
"Now the Lord is leading his troops to use all his strength to fight against the main force of Cao's army for Hanzhong. We must not sit idly by and ignore it."
"At least we have to make some noise in the Jingzhou war zone to completely mess up all aspects of Cao's army's defense lines."
"This may make Cao Cao give up his thoughts of continuing to fight for Hanzhong."
After a while the words were spoken.
After pondering for a while, Guan Yu gave the order: "Order Wang Fu to send his army north along Dangyang, march to Xiang, attack Cao's army in Fan, wait for the opportunity, and act according to the opportunity!"
"Captain Zhao, after your return this time, you also sent a naval force to go north along the Han River to harass the areas north of Jiangxia and Xiangyang."
"There is no need to fight hard, as long as you can make Cao's army uneasy, it will be a great achievement!"
"We will announce from now on that Jiangling will enter a state of combat readiness and all departments will begin to assemble."
"Here!"
After Guan Yu summoned the civil and military personnel, he conveyed the instructions.
Everyone also raised their hands in agreement.
From the last words, combined with the look of determination on Guan Yu's face.
Everyone can guess it.
This time Guan Yu was fully prepared for a big battle.
Even now, the land of Jingzhou still needs some time to rest and recuperate.
But he is not afraid of a fight!
If Cao Ren mobilized the masses to attack.
Guan Yu will immediately go northward in person with his main force.
As the Jingzhou Army's step-by-step movements came out.
this moment.
The war in Jingzhou suddenly became a focus.
From Zhao Tong's Dongsan County, as well as Nanyang Wancheng and Xiangfan where Cao Ren was stationed.
Even Xu Du and Jiangdong are always paying attention to the battle situation in Jingzhou.
After all, Cao and Liu are currently engaged in a large-scale battle in Hanzhong.
In other places, it is a situation that affects the whole body.
Especially Jingzhou is among the best in the world.
The slightest change will affect the outcome of the battle.
Reports of the small group of water infantry sent by Guan Yu to harass Jingbei were first reported to Shangyong County.
After learning about this battle report.
Zhao Tong looked happy and said without surprise: "Youchang, it seems that General Guan has checked our letters."
"Our army can start building ships and prepare to march westward to Hanzhong."
"Um."
"We can start making preparations first, but to be on the safe side, we can wait and see what happens for a while."
The two of them looked at the map hanging between the screens quietly.
The next tactical plan is carefully formulated.
As a small group of Jingzhou troops began to penetrate deep into Xiangyang, the surrounding areas of Jiangxia harassed the county or moved the people south.
A moment of effort.
In the Fancheng Military Mansion.
Cao Ren's desk was gradually filled with letters asking for help from officials from all over the surrounding areas.
The letter all told the truth about the recent situation of the Jingzhou Army!
He also verbally requested him to send troops to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion.
"General Cao, I hope you will send troops to attack immediately after seeing the letter. Otherwise, if you let the Jingzhou army continue to harass you, our border in northern Jingzhou will never have peace!"
For a moment, Cao Ren looked at the piles of bamboo slips on the desk.
My whole body mood suddenly became unsatisfactory.
The anger seemed to come from nowhere.
"Guan Yu, a common man, actually treats me as child's play!"
A punch hit the desk hard, and the wooden desk shook several times, as if it was about to collapse.
Look at his anger.
Chen Jiao, who was watching from the sidelines, naturally knew that Cao Ren's physical condition had skyrocketed.
Then he quickly raised his hands and said: "General, judging from the current situation, Liu Bei's army, which is attacking the three eastern counties, has already made contact with Guan Yu's troops."
"Guan Yu's move is to attract the attention of our troops, so that our troops will not be able to take care of him, let alone have free time to attack Dongsanjun."
Listening to Chen Jiao's analysis.
"That being the case, what solution do you have now?"
Cao Ren's face showed anger, and he pondered for a moment before it dissipated, and then he asked.
"Well, Jiao suggested that our army should stay put for now and order Wenpin. Generals Lu and Chang will then send troops to guard the defense line."
"If you find a small group of enemy troops, send troops to drive them away."
"Let's take a look at Guan Yu's attitude before we consider the next step."
"Observe whether Guan Yu has any plans to start a war."
The words end here.
Chen Jiao paused for a moment and then said: "Jiangdong just launched a large-scale invasion earlier. If we expected it to be true, Jingzhou has not yet recovered its strength, so it is not appropriate to start a war."
"So, if Guan Yu has no intention of breaking out a war, it will not be too late for our army to decide whether to attack the three eastern counties."
The words settled down.
After Chen Jiao thought for a while, he added: "On the other hand, the general can now travel thousands of miles to report the current actual situation to the young master."
"Then secretly sent people to sneak into the three counties of the East. On the one hand, they found out the strength of the enemy's army, and on the other hand, they persuaded the families to wait for an opportunity to rebel and welcome our army."
Under the guidance of Chen Jiao.
Cao Ren thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense!
It was decided to file the case.
The face that had been filled with anger just now was now filled with a faint smile.
As for Jiangdong.
Since Sun Quan reached a peace agreement and announced his withdrawal.
He also followed the advice of the Grand Governor Lu Su.
The police are always paying attention to every move in Jingzhou.
If there is any situation, report it immediately.
Sun Quan welcomed back the main force led by Lu Meng.
He did not return to Stone City.
Instead, he ordered Lu Meng and his troops to garrison in Xunyang.
It was announced to the outside world that he was recuperating and training his sergeants in order to regain their fighting spirit as soon as possible.
In fact, it is secretly gaining momentum.
In order to be able to attack Hefei at any time, while the main force of Cao's army is still in Hanzhong, he can invade the Jianghuai area in one fell swoop.
This is exactly Lu Su's strategy.
In order not to make Zhang Liao and other Cao generals in Hefei suspicious.
Sun Quan even returned to Stone City with great fanfare.
But the battle situation in the upper reaches of Jingzhou.
He is also paying attention all the time.
As the Jingzhou Army began to lead a small-scale attack on the Jingbei defense line.
