Chapter 67 Fengchu's Plan
Decided to adopt Ma Su's suggestion.
Zhao Tong then started to arrange it.
The first thing is to send people back to communicate with the general Guan Yu.
He also ordered people to invite the Wuxi Barbarian King to come to the camp to see him.
He wanted to meet Samoko again.
After all, if our main force is mobilized to move north, then the military strength in Jingnan will be left to the Barbarians alone.
If it is a critical opportunity, the barbarians will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
Then you really are shooting yourself in the foot.
Thinking of various situations, Zhao Tong decided to find out what Samoko was thinking.
As he arrived at the camp.
The two discussed it in the big tent for several days, and only ended the conversation after all the messengers from the north had returned.
After this incident.
Zhao Tongcai slowly gave up the hesitation in his heart.
It was decided to use barbarian forces to surround the Wu army and confront Lü Meng.
The ministries under his command went north in batches to help.
But when you think of Lü Meng, you should not underestimate him when it comes to using troops!
After some thought, Zhao commanded Zhang Yi and Guan Ping personally sat here to oversee the war situation in Jingnan.
The generals Ma Zhong and Liu Yin of the Ministry of Life each took one of their troops and led the army away.
The plan has been decided.
Various departments began to mobilize gradually.
All important places along the Zhongshui and Leishui lines were garrisoned by barbarians.
Looking at the movements of the Jingzhou army, Lu Meng naturally guessed the intention after hearing the news.
He immediately planned a series of attacks in order to break the encirclement and break this crisis.
only.
The combat power of the barbarian troops was already impressive, but now that Zhao Tong was in the middle, how could they give the Wu army a chance to break through?
The two armies fought against one another and could only remain at a stalemate.
And at this time, the capital, Gangneung City.
All the people in the city suddenly came out of their gloomy mood, and their hearts were extremely excited.
The reason for all this is that Pang Tong has arrived with his troops.
Previously, the Wu army and Cao army attacked from two fronts.
The people in the city were in panic.
Now with the arrival of reinforcements, things are gradually calming down.
However, when he heard that Cao Ren, the general of the heroic cavalry, had already entered Wancheng in Nanyang and was rushing towards Xiangfan, Guan Yu also knew that the intensity of the attack brought by Cao's army should not be underestimated!
So they headed north to Dangyang in case Xiangyang ordered reinforcements to attack along the north road again.
He also ordered the former governor Zhao Lei to station in Hanjin to guard against Wenpin's offensive.
At present, all affairs in the capital Jiangling are fully handed over to General Zuo Ma Liang.
With the arrival of Pang Tong and his troops.
When Ma Liang heard the news, he immediately went to greet him and properly arranged the daily life of the reinforcements.
After the rendezvous.
Pang Tong was ranked as a military advisor and general, and he was a favorite.
Now he is here to oversee the overall situation of Jingzhou on behalf of Liu Bei.
In the absence of Guan Yu, he would naturally be the highest military officer in Jiangling City.
When he first arrived, he first learned about the current war situation from Jingzhou's important ministers, such as Ma Liang, the assistant officer, and Pan Jun, who was in charge of Yin Guan.
"Military advisor, with Liang's younger brother Youchang persuading the Wuxi barbarians to help, Zhao Zhonglang has now fully arranged the battle between the counties in Jingnan. The barbarians will confront the main force of the Wu army under Lu Meng and besiege them in Guiyang.
area."
"And all the troops under his command have gone north in batches, intending to assist General Guan in defeating the enemy."
"In this regard, I don't know what the military advisor can do."
A lot of words fell out.
Pang Tong closed his eyes and pondered for a while, gradually clarifying the current chaotic situation in Jingzhou.
After pondering for a while, he showed a calm expression and said slowly: "If all the ministries under A Tong can be mobilized, then our current military strength is enough to resist the offensive between Cao and Sun."
"Previously I met Wu envoy Zhuge Jin in Zigui who was about to enter Shu to meet the lord. Judging from his words and demeanor."
"I speculate that Sun Quan may not have given up the idea of coveting the counties in Jingzhou."
Having said this, Pang Tong's expression instantly became serious, and he solemnly said: "In this case, our army no longer needs to show mercy to Sun Quan."
"General Guan is currently stationed in Dangyang, Juebei Road to defend Cao's army from all directions. I think it won't be a big problem."
"And the Wenpin Division in the north of Jiangxia does not have many troops, so it can be used as a breakthrough in this battle."
"And Hanjin guards the tributaries of the Han River, which is conducive to the use of naval forces..."
"I have a good idea in my chest!"
Having said this, he quickly made arrangements.
Ma Zhong and Liu Yin's troops, who were ordered to reach Baqiu, first gathered on Dongting Lake and made a move to march to the downstream Lukou at any time.
Subsequently, the public security garrison was ordered to transport warships and other military supplies.
Next, after Pang Tong eliminated the necessary defensive forces left in Jiangling, he led Fu Wei, Feng Xi and other generals to rush to Hanjin.
After meeting up with the former governor Zhao Lei.
Pang Tong immediately issued an attack order and launched an attack on Wenpin.
At this moment, the Jingzhou Army's water warfare quality showed its great advantage.
The soldiers under Wenpin's command were not as good as the Jingzhou soldiers in water battles. Now with the assistance of Pang's command, they are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.
After a series of fierce battles, Wenpin was defeated and had to lead his army to retreat.
Pang Tong naturally sent his troops to pursue him.
Until it reaches the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Han River.
Zhao Lei just raised his hand and suggested: "Military advisor, according to the news, Wenpin has led his troops to retreat to Anlu. If our army continues to pursue, they will enter the waters of Xiakou next."
"If we enter rashly, we may arouse the hostility of the Wu army in Xiakou."
"The military advisor will take a look at whether we should withdraw our troops and return them to camp. What is the long-term plan?"
In one word.
Zhao Lei was also worried that entering the waters of Xiakou would cause the Sun and Liu families to completely turn against each other, so he warned with caution.
But as soon as he said this, the smile on Pang Tong's face became thicker and he said in a deep voice: "Huh? Why did you retreat? Governor Zhao thought that the purpose of pursuing the victory was to annihilate Wenpin's troops?"
"What does the military advisor mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lei's expression moved slightly, as if he heard the hidden meaning behind the words.
"The large-scale pursuit of Cao's army is just to deceive others. Our goal from beginning to end is Xiakou City."
This statement just fell into place.
Pang Tong's expression suddenly became serious, his thick eyes were like sharp needlepoints, he looked straight in the direction of Xiakou and said fiercely.
After Ma Liang provided him with the strategy of raiding Xiakou proposed by Zhao Tong, he thought for a while and decided to implement the strategy.
The topography of Xiakou can be said to be the most sensitive area in Jingzhou.
If we can occupy the waters of Xiakou.
There will be no buffer at all upstream of Chibi, Hukou and Lukou.
Next, the Jingzhou Army's options will be infinitely broad.
Not only can this be used to consolidate the defense on the east side of Nanjun.
It can also be used as a breakthrough point to station troops to threaten the Wu army's important towns of Chaisang and Xunyang at any time, and then threaten the hinterland of Jiangdong.
It is also a glimpse into Xiakou’s influence on the current situation.
Pang Tongsui also decisively agreed with this policy.
After a few words.
Zhao Lei could only feel ripples in his heart.
Is this your pattern?
“It seems that the layout is still small!”
