There was silence in the entire meeting hall. Everyone focused on Luo Yang. No fool here understood the hidden meaning behind Guo Jia's idea. Without this strategy, it would be difficult to win Jingzhou, even if it was
If we take it by force, the army will suffer heavy losses! Using this strategy, we can certainly capture Jingzhou easily, but the problem is that the crime of using troops without permission is quite serious. As Guo Jia said, the strategy has been worked out.
It depends on whether Luo Yang has the courage to use it!
Luo Yang pondered for a moment. In fact, he didn't care much about the crime. Others may not know it yet, but he knew it very well from the later generations. When the princes from all walks of life join forces to force Dong Zhuo to leave Luoyang next year, then the world will
The beginning of the dispute! At that time, it would be common for the princes to attack each other, and no one would criticize Luo Yang's behavior. For the Han Dynasty, Luo Yang was not as awe-inspiring as people of this era.
But it would be false to say that Luo Yang is not worried at all. The reason for Luo Yang's hesitation is that he is worried about whether his coming will affect the upcoming Chenliu Alliance. Especially since there is Yuan Shu in Nanyang, this guy's ambitions are not high.
He is much younger than Sun Jian, and he has a grudge against him. If Luo Yang hits his home base, there is no guarantee that this guy will come to kill Chen Liu during the alliance!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Yang thought for a long time, finally raised his head, gritted his teeth and hummed: "Hit! If you miss this opportunity, I won't be able to sleep at night! But let's not move on to Nanyang! Wait until we attend the Chenliu meeting.
Alliance, after defeating Dong Zhuo, go to Nanyang!"
Hearing that Luo Yang had made a decision, everyone including Guo Jia couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. If this strategy was not used, it would be safer for Luo Yang, but Guo Jia and others would also be unwilling to accept it! If it were true, it would be safer for Luo Yang.
Speaking of which, among Luo Yang's subordinates, except for one Huang Zhong who still yearns for the Han Dynasty, Liu Pi, Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang were all from the Yellow Turban Army, so naturally they would not be attracted to the Han Dynasty.
Gan Ning and Zhao Qiang have also been Jiang bandits for so many years. As for Wenpin and Guo Jia, both of them came from poor families. If they had not met Luo Yang, they would not have become officials so early, and of course they would not have had the support of the Han Dynasty family.
What a good impression. There is only Huang Zhong left. Although he is somewhat loyal to the Han Dynasty, Luo Yang saved Huang Xu and he has already devoted his allegiance to Luo Yang, so he will not say anything more.
Luo Yang made the decision not to attack Nanyang for the time being. Guo Jia also guessed Luo Yang's worries and nodded. As long as he can capture most of Jingzhou's territory, temporarily giving up Nanyang is nothing. Guo Jia immediately
Said: "In this case, if there is one less target, our army will have less of a burden! Shangyong has fewer soldiers and horses, and only one general with more than 2,000 people is enough to win! Although Jiangxia has many
There are few men and horses, but most of them are naval forces. When we capture Jiangxia, our army only needs to march by land, and those naval forces will be completely useless! The other counties don't have to worry, so the most important thing is
Nanjun!”
"Hmm!" Luo Yang also agreed with Guo Jia's analysis. He was lowering his head and planning when suddenly his eyes lit up. He just remembered that Chu Gong was appointed as the prefect of Wuling a few years ago? Why did he listen to Liu Pi's report just now?
The governor of Wuling became a man named Cao Yin? Immediately, Luo Yang asked quickly: "Liu Pi, the governor of Wuling is indeed called Cao Yin? Have you never heard of a man named Chu Gong?"
When Luo Yang mentioned Chu Gong's name, the eyes of Huang Zhong and Guo Jia, who had known Chu Gong for a long time, lit up. Guo Jia actually remembered that Chu Gong was appointed as the prefect of Wuling, and Huang Zhong had
He never saw Chu Gong again, so he immediately asked: "My lord, why did Lord Chu come to Jingzhou?"
When Huang Zhong asked this question, Luo Yang's heart suddenly sank. Huang Zhong had arrived in Xiangyang five years ago. It stands to reason that if Chu Gong came to Jingzhou to take up his post, he should first go to Xiangyang to meet the governor Wang Rui. How come Huang Zhong still doesn't know about it until now?
News about Chu Gong? Sure enough, Liu Pi was confused when he heard Luo Yang's question, and asked: "My lord, what you said was Chu Gong, the governor of Nanyang at that time? Isn't he in Luoyang? What?
Is it time to come to Jingzhou?"
"Don't talk about this yet!" Luo Yang already realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked Huang Zhong, "Brother Han Sheng, you have stayed in Xiangyang for so long, do you know what happened to Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling?" But Luo Yang remembered it.
It is clear that Chu Gong accepted the decree from the imperial court and went to Wuling to take up his post. He was indeed appointed as the prefect of Wuling. How could he suddenly become this Cao Yin?
Huang Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, lowered his head to recall, and replied: "Well, I have some impression. It seems that until three years ago, the post of Wuling Prefect had always been empty. Then Cao Yin suddenly popped up, holding his hand.
He took the appointment letter from the imperial court and took office as the prefect of Wuling. Of course, Wang Rui would not say anything about the imperial appointment. He made arrangements and let him take up the post. However, over the years, Wang Rui has been trying to win over this person, but he has not.
No matter what the result is, this person is very close to the Cai family, but he has not completely surrendered to the Cai family!"
Cai family? Luo Yang seemed to have some understanding and looked at each other with Guo Jia. Since Cao Yin's appointment letter was approved by Wang Rui, it means that the appointment letter cannot be fake! But Wu Ling, who was appointed by the imperial court at that time,
The governor is Chu Gong! The appointment letter should also be in Chu Gong's hands. Could it be said that something unexpected happened to Chu Gong?
"Yes!" Luo Yang nodded. He originally thought that sending one or two thousand people would be able to capture Wuling County, but now it seems that it may not be that simple! Luo Yang once again overturned the plan he just made in his heart and started to start again.
After making some calculations, he finally raised his head and shouted: "Wenpin listens to the order!"
Luo Yang suddenly called Wenpin's name, which made all the generals stunned. Then they saw Luo Yang actually picked up the blank military order book and pen and ink at hand, and began to write something with his pen. They immediately understood that Luo Yang was going to adjust
Troops and horses have been dispatched! Wenpin was overjoyed when he saw that he was the first person to be assigned. He quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "The general is here!"
Luo Yang wrote two lines on the military order. Finally, he picked up the tiger talisman from his waist and stamped it on the end of the military order. He dried the ink, then grabbed the military order and threw it away. Wenpin saw him and was busy.
He stepped forward to catch it, as if holding a treasure, and held it carefully. Luo Yang shouted loudly: "I will allocate you three thousand soldiers and horses to capture Shangyong City within five days! Can you do it?"
"I can do it! I can do it!" Wenpin hurriedly hid the general's order in his arms like a treasure, for fear that someone would snatch it from him. This was Wenpin's first time leading an army alone in combat, and Wenpin was looking forward to it.
This opportunity has been coming for a long time. After putting away the military order, Wenpin clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "Please don't worry, my lord! I will take five days, no, three days! I will keep it and capture Shangyong within three days!" Wen also lost.
Pin still remembers that Shangyong County is still some distance from Fancheng, otherwise he would have to leave for a day.
Seeing Wenpin returning to his seat happily, the other generals couldn't help but show a trace of envy in their eyes. However, they were not in a hurry. Luo Yang only mobilized one group of soldiers and horses, and there were several others. They were not without them.
Chance!
Sure enough, Luo Yang glanced at the generals and saw that they all held their chests high, fearing that Luo Yang wouldn't notice him. Luo Yang's lips curled up slightly and he shouted: "Gan Ning! Zhao Qiang! Listen to the order!"
After their names were called, Gan Ning and Zhao Qiang couldn't help but be overjoyed. They quickly stood up and walked out of the queue. They cupped their fists and shouted at Luo Yang, "The general is here!"
Luo Yang wrote quickly again and wrote a military order. He also stamped it with a tiger talisman and threw it to Gan Ning. He shouted: "I will allocate five thousand troops to you! Make Gan Ning the commander and Zhao Qiang the commander."
Vice! Take Jiangxia within seven days! Is there any problem?"
Gan Ning and Zhao Qiang had no problem, they both cheered and clasped their fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "Please don't worry, my lord! The final general will definitely capture Jiangxia! Dedicate it to my lord!" Finally, Gan Ning and Zhao Qiang were not as irritable as Wenpin, and there was no chaos.
Xu promised that after receiving the military order, he returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
Luo Yang once again wrote a military order, but he shouted: "Liu Pi! Gongdu! Listen to the order!"
After all, Liu Pi and Gong Du had led the army alone for so many years, and they were not as eager as others. After hearing Luo Yang's words, their expressions did not change. They stood up directly, walked to Luo Yang, clasped their fists and shouted: "The general is here.
!”
After Luo Yang finished writing the military order, he hesitated and did not put the tiger seal on it so quickly. This group of soldiers and horses were going to attack the most important Nanjun. Luo Yang originally arranged for this group of soldiers and horses to be Huang Zhong
.However, after what happened just now, Luo Yang wanted to arrange for Huang Zhong to be sent to Wuling! After thinking about it, Luo Yang added a few more strokes to the military order book and shouted: "Pei Yuanshao obeys the order!"
Pei Yuanshao didn't expect that his name would be called suddenly again, and he couldn't help but be startled, but he immediately came to his senses, stood up in a hurry, walked quickly behind Liu Pi and Gong Du, clasped his fists at Luo Yang and shouted: "Mo
will be!"
Luo Yang finally stamped the tiger talisman and shouted to the three generals: "I will allocate fifteen thousand people to you! Do you dare to take Nanjun?"
Fifteen thousand people! That's three times the number of troops and horses in Gan Ning's hands! But even so, Luo Yang was still a little worried. After all, Liu Pi, Gong Du and Pei Yuanshao were not like Gan Ning and Wenpin. Although they were more calm in doing things,
But the ability is somewhat lacking. Nanjun is not that easy to win, so even Liu Pi and the three of them did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Liu Pi cupped his fists and shouted: "Lord!
