It seems that I have to go to Zhang Ji's place later to see if there is any way to make Le Jin recover faster, but Le Jin will definitely not be able to participate in the next plan! Let's put this matter aside for now, Luo Yang
He said to the generals: "Now Sun Jian has led his troops to settle the score with Wang Rui. If my estimate is correct, Wang Rui will definitely die in Sun Jian's hands this time! When the time comes, we should take action! Take the entire Jingzhou,
As a stronghold for our brave soldiers!"
"Oh!" After hearing this, the generals all became excited. Now the Yongzhu Army is definitely the strongest in Jingzhou, but due to various reasons, the Yongzhu Army can only shrink.
In this small Fancheng, now that the war can finally begin, how can the generals be unhappy? Gan Ning immediately jumped up, clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "Lord! The last general invites you to fight!"
Gan Ning took the lead, and the other generals also jumped up one after another, clasping their fists towards Luo Yang and shouting: "Lord! The last general invites you to fight!"
"Hahahaha!" Luo Yang was naturally very happy that his generals were so motivated. He laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry! Don't worry! You all have a share! This time our target is the entire Jingzhou! I
I’m still worried that there aren’t enough people! Okay, everyone, sit down! Let’s discuss it slowly!”
With Luo Yang's words, the generals sat back down. Luo Yang turned to Liu Pi and said, "Liu Pi! I have asked you to investigate the intelligence of various cities and counties in Jingzhou before. What is the result now?"
This task was specially assigned to Liu Pi by Luo Yang before he went to Luoyang. Over the years, Liu Pi did not dare to forget Luo Yang's task. When Luo Yang asked about it, he stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Report to my lord, over the years, I have been
I have also sent many spies to various cities and counties in Jingzhou, and now we have preliminary results!"
As he spoke, Liu Pi reached out and took out a stack of brocade silk, walked to the center of the hall and unfolded it. It turned out to be a map of Jingzhou. The map of Jingzhou was marked with large and small cities and counties in Jingzhou. Liu Pi used
Pointing to one of the cities and counties, he said: "This is Fancheng where we are now! Crossing the Xiangjiang River to the south is Xiangyang! That is where the capital of Jingzhou is! Xiangyang has a Xiangyang army of 20,000, which belongs to Wang Rui, but this Xiangyang army
The personnel in the army are too complicated, and Wang Rui may not be able to fully command this army! In addition, there are some private armies controlled by the Cai family and the Kuai family, about two thousand people!"
Regarding the situation in Xiangyang, Luo Yang and Huang Zhong were naturally very clear. These were not what Luo Yang wanted to know. Liu Pi also seemed to understand this. He quickly clicked four times on the map with his hand and said: "Jingzhou
The area is not large in the Central Plains, but it is a key link to the Central Plains, so it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times! Jingzhou stretches from Nanyang to Yuzhou and Yanzhou in the north, to Jiangxia in the east and Jiangdong, and to Guiyang in the south by Jiaozhou.
, reaching Shangyong in the west and going deep into the hinterland of Yizhou! These four counties are the important border defense towns of Jingzhou!"
"Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi and Shangyong Prefect Pang Xi are Wang Rui's confidants. However, the military strength of these two counties is not large. Nanyang County has 2,000 guards and Shangyong County has 3,000 guards. But Nanyang County has 3,000 guards.
In addition to the Nanyang garrison commanded by Zhang Zi, there are also soldiers and horses recruited by Yuan Shu in the name of King Qin. According to the latest information, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have reached more than 10,000 people, and there is another general under Yuan Shu's account.
, his name is Ji Ling, and his martial name is out there, so you must be careful!"
"Jiangxia County is located at the mouth of Sanjiang. The governor of Jiangxia, Deng Xi, is quite famous in the local area. However, he is best at government affairs, but he is not familiar with military affairs! Jiangxia County is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, so most of Jiangxia's defenders are navy troops.
, and nearly half of Jingzhou’s naval forces are in Jiangxia, with more than 10,000 men and hundreds of large and small warships! But the soldiers and horses guarding the city are only three hundred men!"
"Among the four counties, Guiyang County is the weakest. Guiyang County is adjacent to Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou is a barbaric land. Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, is a mediocre person, so the defenders of Guiyang County have always been weak.
Now the governor of Guiyang County is Pang Ji, a local celebrity, but the garrison of Guiyang County is less than 500 people, and the city defenses are dilapidated and vulnerable!"
Liu Pi briefly explained the situation of the four counties, and Luo Yang nodded. Except for Guiyang County, the other three counties were very important. Luo Yang must take them into his own hands. As for Guiyang County, it is far away.
Fancheng is too far away, and he has to pass through Changsha County on the way. Although Luo Yang wants to seize control of Jingzhou, he doesn't want to fall out with Sun Jian yet. Anyway, most of the rich lands in Jingzhou are in the northeast of Jingzhou and the wilderness south of Changsha.
Let’s give the land to Sun Jian temporarily!
However, Nanyang County is quite troublesome. Yuan Shu is like a nail. If Luo Yang remembers correctly, Yuan Shu also relied on this Nanyang County to make a fortune in history and advanced all the way eastward until he later captured the city.
Yuzhou and Yangzhou just gave up on Nanyang. It would probably be more difficult for Luoyang to seize the fat piece of Nanyang County from Yuan Shu!
Luo Yang did not stop, and Liu Pi naturally did not dare to stop. He just paused, pointed to a vermilion mark on the map and said: "Among all the cities and counties in Jingzhou, Nanjun is the most important! The defenders in Nanjun are
There are quite a few, including nearly ten thousand people including the navy, half of which are the navy. The most important thing is that most of Jingzhou's grain and grass are stored in Nanjun. Its importance is naturally self-evident! And the prefect of Nanjun is
A member of the Cai family, named Cai Qiao, is the brother of the current head of the Cai family, Cai Xi! However, although this person has some tricks, he is not a strong enemy. The only thing to pay attention to is a general named Huang Zu under Cai Qiao.
He is very good at water fights, but his temper is very violent!"
"Well!" Luo Yang had never heard of the names of the people Liu Pi mentioned before, but the name of Huang Zu was somewhat familiar to Luo Yang. There were many records about this person in the history books of later generations, but they were not all good things.
, I guess he shouldn’t have much ability!
Later, Liu Pi told the situation of other cities and counties in Jingzhou, and the main forces of Jingzhou were concentrated in the cities and counties mentioned before. The troops and horses in other cities and counties did not have many, or even more than 10,000 troops.
Thousands of people. The only person to be on guard is Cao Yin, the governor of Wuling County. This person was originally a member of the Kuai family, but he escaped from the control of the Kuai family some time ago through the rise of Sun Jian and refused Wang Rui's solicitation.
It seems that he also wants to learn to be as self-reliant as Sun Jian.
After Liu Pi introduced the situation of each city and county one by one, his mouth was dry. Fortunately, Gong Du beside him quickly gave him a glass of water, and Liu Pi took it and drank it.
After listening to Liu Pi's introduction, Luo Yang frowned and said: "According to my previous plan, after Sun Jian kills Wang Rui, we will quickly attack and occupy Xiangyang, and then divide our troops to capture Jingzhou.
Occupy other cities and counties! But now it seems that this plan is not feasible!"
Guo Jia, who was on the side, was also unusually serious. He nodded in agreement and said, "My lord, you are right! If we wait for our army to take Xiangyang before going to take other cities and counties, we will not be able to make it in time.
It will delay the lord's going to Chenliu to participate in the important event of the alliance! Secondly, once Wang Rui dies, the soldiers and horses of other cities and counties in Jingzhou will definitely become independent one after another. If they can't take advantage of the best time to occupy each city and county, I'm afraid they will have to go one by one.
Attacking would be much more difficult!"
When Guo Jia said this, all the generals nodded in agreement. Gan Ning also gradually lost his previous excitement and frowned and said: "Then what should we do? It is rare to have such a good opportunity. Is it possible that we have to watch it?
Are you going to let this opportunity slip away?"
Guo Jia shook his head, looked at Luo Yang hesitantly, thought for a while, and said: "My lord! I have a way, but I don't know if my lord dares to use it!"
"Huh?" Hearing what Guo Jia said, Luo Yang was stunned. He looked up at Guo Jia and finally said with a smile: "Fengxiao! You have known me for so many years! Who am I, Luo Yang, and you still don't know me?"
Do you know? I have done so many daring things, what else is there that I, Luo Yang, dare not do? Just tell me your method!"
The daring thing Luo Yang mentioned was naturally referring to taking advantage of the chaos of Shi Changshi to run into the palace and steal the Queen Mother and the princess. When thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh, and all worries in his heart disappeared.
Cun. Dang even said loudly: "Lord! Since it is too late to wait until Wang Rui is dead to capture other cities and counties, we might as well do the opposite! Take Nanjun first, and then Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Shangyong counties.
, and finally come back to Xiangyang!"
After Guo Jia said this method, everyone was stunned. The method Guo Jia said seemed to be very simple. It was just reversing the order of siege, but in fact, there was no one before.
How dare people think like that!
The reason is very simple. Although the world is slowly entering troubled times, it has not reached the stage of troubled times after all! The defenders of these cities and counties in Nanjun are all serious court troops! If there is no name,
To attack these cities and counties is tantamount to rebellion! But according to Luo Yang's original plan, taking advantage of the chaos of Wang Rui's murder, he captured Xiangyang, and then used the name of Jingzhou Governor to capture other cities and counties, and everything stood still.
That's right! But if the opposite is done, then Luo Yang is very likely to be labeled as a treason by the people in the world. By then, it is very likely that the allies of the Chenliu Alliance will not go to Luoyang to fight Dong Zhuo, but will
The first one came to destroy Luoyang!
However, this is not without its benefits. At least this way, Luoyang will have enough time, and other cities and counties in Jingzhou will not be on guard. It will be much easier to attack these cities and counties! Fortunately for Guo Jia, too
He is a bold master, so he came up with such a method, but whether it is used or not depends entirely on Luo Yang's courage!
