Liu Daogui frowned slightly. Obviously, he also had a headache about this problem. He raised the corners of his mouth, pondered for a moment, and said: "I arranged hundreds of fishing boats and small boats to patrol the river, and three hundred yellow dragons.
The fleet of warships are also in the water city port of Jiangling, ready to attack at any time. If the enemy has a large-scale naval attack, there are hundreds of miles of waterway from Xunyang to Jiangling, which will take at least more than a day. We will not
You will be completely defenseless."
At this point, he paused: "Moreover, in order to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks from Changsha, I also restored the beacon towers that Guan Yu used when he was guarding Jingzhou. Starting from Wulindu, I sent soldiers to one tower every thirty miles.
To guard, once a large-scale enemy navy is discovered to have landed, the beacon fire will be lit immediately. The warships here in Jiangling will be quickly dispatched to attack. They will first find a way to destroy the enemy's naval supplies. This will cut off the enemy's rear route and also provide a way for land defense.
City, buy time."
Yu Yue nodded thoughtfully: "If we want to land from the water, it will be on the river outside Jiangling. But since we have a naval fleet, it is unlikely that they will land. In this way, Jiangxia and Wu
Lindu is a very important place. Did Brother Daogui ever have enough troops stationed at Wulindu? What if there is no time to set off the beacon?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "At Wulindu, I stationed a thousand elite soldiers, 300 of whom are Beifu soldiers who have fought with me for many years. My guard captain Lin Zihao is stationed there."
Yu Yue's expression changed: "What, even Captain Lin has passed? What about you?"
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "If Wulin is safe, I will be fine here and I won't need anyone to protect me. Zihao has been with me for many years and is very alert. I can't have many soldiers and horses in my hands now. I can only go to Wulin."
Let seven hundred of Jiangling's local elites, plus my guards, be stationed there. If the enemy invades in large numbers, I don't ask them to retreat, but I ask them to send out a signal so that I can get the news in advance."
Yu Yue's brows furrowed: "If the enemy troops land and Wulin falls, what will you do?"
Liu Daogui put away his smile and said seriously: "If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Jiangling's defense is mainly facing the direction of the river. If it is attacked from the land from the west and north, it will be difficult to defend. If it is really the enemy,
If we attack from land, we may not be able to defend the city. We need to send at least half of our troops forward to the Ma Tou area, where there are dangerous mountains and we can set up camp to block the enemy."
Yu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "When I came, I saw that there was a camp at Ma Tou, and some military rations were stored. If Wulin Crossing is really in danger, ten thousand horses can rush there directly, which will only take about half a day.
It seems that Brother Daogui has really thought of everything. However, can the defenders in this city really hold off the army of monster thieves based on the Ma Tou Camp?"
Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "The demon thieves are not immortals. They can fly with swords and fall from the sky. If tens of thousands of troops are really landing, it will take two days just to land on land, spread out, and set up camp in the Wulindu area.
From the above, we should have enough time to react. As long as the beacon tower can report the news, I will dispatch all the troops to the Matou Camp. The terrain there is dangerous, and there is a water barrier to the east. There are 10,000 elite soldiers inside, which is enough to drag down the enemy.
There are 50,000 demon thieves living there. As long as we have time, we can summon Zhu Chaoshi's troops, as well as Liu Zunkao and Lu Gui's troops from Dangyang in the north to come back for support."
Yu Yue had been listening and nodding. Hearing this, he was a little surprised: "Lu Gui? Didn't he go back to Yongzhou with his father?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Lu Zongzhi went back on his own, taking away 10,000 troops and horses, but leaving 5,000 troops for Lu Gui, stationed in Dangyang, just in case of any unexpected events. These are all changes I made to prepare for various accidents.
Zhao, if the demon thieves don't come, or they come from the direction of Jiangling, or they go directly to Baojing South in Changsha, I won't worry. What I worry most about is that they go to Wulindu. This kind of arrangement can be regarded as my best choice in the existing situation.
This is the most prudent response that can be made under the circumstances.”
Yu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "What if the monster thieves don't take the usual route and send out surprise troops from the Dabie Mountains, then enter the northeast of Jingzhou and attack from the direction of Jiangxia?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "I'm not worried about walking this way. The Dangyang garrison is to deal with this kind of attack from the northeast. Besides, Jiangxia is also a big city. Mao Dezu led 4,000 elite troops to garrison the city. The city defense is strong. It's not that easy.
Captured."
Yu Yue laughed: "Since you have arranged everything in place, what do I have to worry about? Well, I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few months. Now I'm going to have a good sleep first, and when I wake up
I'll take care of my gang of nephews, and then I'll follow your request and stay in the military mansion to write official documents."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Go and have a rest, Mr. Yu. I will arrange guards to protect you. Don't worry. Wang Zhen's Chief Shi will arrange your specific affairs later."
Yu Yue nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave. Liu Daogui watched his figure disappear outside the door of the mansion, then clapped his hands. A guard rushed in from outside the yard. Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "Please come here quickly, General Tan Daoji."
.”
In a moment, Tan Daoji, dressed in armor, strode in. He looked at Liu Daogui and gave a military salute. When he raised his head, his face was full of dissatisfaction: "Brother Daogui, I don't understand why you want to treat Yu Yue like this."
, If you want me to say, it’s good that you didn’t put them all in jail for crimes, but you actually want to tell him all our defenses in Jingzhou, alas, I don’t understand it now.”
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Peace is the most important thing, not only for the local nobles in Jingzhou, but also for the Yu family. After all, in the future of the Jin Dynasty, eldest brother will have to cooperate with these noble families. We have already taken away their armies.
It's okay to make a high profile, after all, we won't let him lead troops in war again."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "But what if his surname is Yu is a spy of the Tiandao Alliance? Brother Xile's military rations were hacked by him, so he is very suspicious."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Before telling him about our army's deployment, I had already inquired about the matter clearly. He cooperated with Liu Tingyun. Liu Tingyun also transported the ordnance and food and grass for him to pick up. What he used was Yu Yue's idea.
He is eager to stand out and has military exploits for his nephew. These are not enough to prove that he is a member of the Tiandao Alliance. I think he cannot deceive my eyes. Besides, I asked the Zhenzhihui to closely monitor Yu Yue and will not let him
If he has the opportunity to contact the outside world, even if he wants to tip off the news, it will be impossible!"
Liu Daogui frowned slightly. Obviously, he also had a headache about this problem. He raised the corners of his mouth, pondered for a moment, and said: "I arranged hundreds of fishing boats and small boats to patrol the river, and three hundred yellow dragons.
