Look at Zhao Tong expressing his confidence with great confidence.

Guan Yu also wanted to test his teachings, so he asked, "What do you think of the upcoming battle?"

"To be honest, second uncle, after I heard the news that you wanted to go to Wu Camp alone to interview Lu Su, I came here specially because I wanted to discuss the strategy of continuing to use troops with you, uncle."

After saying that, he paused for a moment and then said: "Since this meeting has not been agreed upon, I think the four counties in Jingnan have not been attacked and captured. With Sun Quan's nature, he will never give up!"

"He will definitely raise troops to invade again."

"The general made a bold guess that he might secretly send someone to connect with Cao's army to attack from a pincer attack, so that our army will not be able to care about each other from the north to the south."

"What? Atong thinks that the Wu army will not hesitate to join forces with Cao's thieves in order to compete for the counties in Jingzhou?"

"Second uncle, Sun Quan is an exquisite egoist. If there is huge benefit, he will break the covenant at will. Even the original enemies are not impossible to form an alliance."

Following Zhao Tong’s analysis.

Guan Yu was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"However, it is said that the main troops under Cao Cao's command have gradually gathered towards Chang'an. I think the next focus of Cao's army must be to seize Hanzhong County."

"Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou. My lord will not sit idly by and let Cao's army attack."

"There will inevitably be a protracted war in Hanzhong. Even if Sun Quan joins forces with him, Cao Cao will have no time to distract himself from the Jingxiang war."

"The most that can be done is to order Lu Chang's troops stationed in Xiangyang to go south to harass near Jiangling in order to contain our army's strength and wait and see the success or failure!"

"Even if our army and the Wu army will start a tug-of-war next, you must not ignore the Cao army from northern Jing."

At the end of the conversation, Zhao Tong also solemnly reminded him.

"Well, does Atong have any plans to engage in battle with the Wu army?"

As soon as he said this, Guan Yu's expression became extremely serious in response to Zhao Tong's reminder, and he asked.

"Second uncle, the general does have a plan, but it requires your cooperation to make it feasible!"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Tong quickly revealed all the tactics he was thinking about.

After hearing this, Guan Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes seemed to glow with golden light, and he smiled and said: "Okay, I will implement what A Tong wants. I will cooperate with you when I return."

"Thank you very much, uncle!"

Seeing that such a proud man as Guan Yu couldn't help but agree to his battle plan, he couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment.

Talked for a long time.

Guan Yu and Zhou Cang boarded the ship and slowly retreated to the north bank.

Zhao Tong also led more than ten followers on horseback and quickly returned to the Xiangguan camp.

Although attending the meeting alone did not improve the relationship between the two parties, the biggest gain for us was to take the initiative in public opinion.

Borrow from Nanjun?

This is not because our army will not return it, but because Wu Jun himself does not accept it!

Zhao Tong didn't know why Guan Yu didn't respond like this in the original history, otherwise he wouldn't have been so rebuffed by Lu Su during the meeting that he couldn't reply, and public opinion would be completely at a disadvantage.

The galloping lasted for nearly half a day.

Zhao Tongxing had just arrived at the camp after a long journey.

Then wait for a short rest.

Zhao Tong just summoned the generals to discuss matters in the big tent.

"There has been no other movement from Lu Meng's troops this day, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhong, who was in charge of the defense, responded with his hands: "General Qi, most of Lu Meng's troops are stationed in Chen County, the capital of Guiyang, and they are at odds with Bu Zhi's troops for defense."

"Think of it, with the army's low morale, it will be impossible to recover for a while."

"Okay, I will issue an attack order next. Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi will lead a partial army to make a large-scale attack on Guiyang to attract the attention of the Wu army."

"I and Liu Yin will lead a raid on Linxiang City."

Zhao Tong then issued various instructions vigorously and resolutely.

The plan has been decided.

All the ministries under his command began to gather secretly, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Xiangguan is located on the edge of the Xiang River, behind Yiyang.

If there is the slightest disturbance on our side, it will definitely not be hidden from Lu Su's eyes.

Therefore, he had previously discussed with his coach Guan Yu and ordered him to use his main force to wait for the opportunity to hide his true intentions.

Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha, is located in the south of Luo County and is the hinterland of Jingnan.

If we can recover it first, the rest of the battle will be extremely favorable.

The connection between Lu Meng's department and Lu Su's department will be completely severed.

Not only that.

By that time, although the Lu Su tribe could safely retreat to the land entrance through the waterway, with the land route cut off, Lü Meng was completely locked in Jingzhou and became a turtle in the urn.

This was Zhao Tong's advice to Guan Yu.

Recapture the capital Linxiang City in one fell swoop and completely control the initiative in the war.

only if.

Only by making the Wu army's war situation in Jingzhou more and more unfavorable could they force Sun Quan to send envoys to make peace and end the confrontation between the Sun and Liu families.

This is also the result of the general trend of the world.

Since the powerful enemy Cao Jun is still there, it is destined that the Sun and Liu families are not the best opportunity for a full-scale confrontation at this moment.

Probably because the two families currently have their own strengths, even if they start a war, they cannot completely annex each other.

That would only damage one's own strength and allow Cao's army to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

In the following days.

Zhao Tong also had great patience and lay dormant quietly.

Not even the slightest move.

On the other hand, Ma Zhong and Zhang Ni were already preparing to move with their partial troops at the border of Guiyang, and there seemed to be signs of a large-scale attack.

After hearing the news, Lu Meng naturally did not panic and arranged his defense line calmly.

Although the fighting spirit of the lieutenant generals is low now, there is still no big problem in holding on!

After more than half a year of fighting.

Zhao Tong also observed that Ma Zhong had a calm temperament, was calm in situations, and had a certain perspective on the overall situation, while Zhang Yi was slightly lacking in commanding troops.

Therefore, he also arranged for him to follow Ma Zhong for advice.

Liu Yin, on the other hand, is extremely brave and diligent, and has the air of a general.

Zhao Tong stayed with him and learned from each other.

Several days passed by.

Following Ma Zhong, Zhang Ni's troops harassed the border, so Lü Meng had to send troops to defend the border.

It does mean that he has no time to take care of Changsha County for the time being.

And on both sides of Zishui.

After Guan Yu returned safely, he deliberately spread the news.

The main force continued to be stationed here to delay the Wu army.

He also sent the former governor Zhao Lei and his troops back to Baqiu along Dongting Lake, gathered Baqiu's garrison and marched toward Luo County in a big way.

At the same time, Zhao Tong also led his troops to attack the Yiyang camp from behind from Xiangguan.

Guan Yu also cooperated extremely well and began to order the main forces to make the intention of forcibly crossing Zishui Shoal.

Suddenly, a series of information showed that the Jingzhou Army was attacking from two sides.

After hearing the news, Lu Su immediately sent additional reinforcements to Ganning.

He also ordered veteran general Han Dang to lead his troops south to resist Zhao Tong's troops.
