"Your Majesty, the people of Wu have begun to make big moves, and they seem to be gathering around Jiangling, and it seems that there is something wrong."
When the more than 300,000 troops of the Zhao army headed for the southern county of Jingzhou, Guo Jia immediately asked people to investigate the movements of the Wu army.Within two days, he immediately investigated the movements of Wu Jun and reported the entire news to Zhao Yu and others.After hearing the sergeant's report, the entire Zhao army was suddenly puzzled, especially in Zhao Yu's mind, there were countless different possibilities.Especially according to Zhao Yu's understanding of Wu State, he would never believe that in the face of the attack of Zhao State's army, these Wu troops were willing to give up most of the southern county and retreat, which is really not like Wu State's style.At that moment, Zhao Yu threw the question to Guo Jia and Xu Shu and said: "Guo Jia, Xu Shu, what the hell is going on, this time Wu Guo heard that my army was coming, and he didn't even fight."
It's really suspicious to lead the troops and horses to retreat like this, tell me what the hell these Wu countries are fighting about" Xu Shu immediately bowed to Zhao Yu and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this Wu Kingdom must want to set a trap for Your Majesty and lure Your Majesty to take the bait."
Although there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses in our Zhao army, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and if you add the 30,000 soldiers and horses of those remnants of Shu and Wei, how can you say that there are nearly 150,000 troops.With these forces, if you want to fight with our Zhao army, it is not impossible to succeed.It's just that Wu Jun's practice of retreating without a fight is really very confusing, this is obviously a fraud, and if our army wants to enter the army in the future, it must be cautious. ”After Xu Shu finished speaking, Guo Jia on the side immediately stood up and added: "Presumably this is the strategy of Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu" After speaking, I saw Guo Jia take a deep breath, as if he was imagining something, and then only heard Guo Jia speak: "Zhou Yu gave such a strategy, it can be said that it is really very clever, if my Zhao army is marching into the army, the Wu army is directly at the junction of Nanjun and Ba County, leading the army to fight with my Zhao army."
Although it can temporarily block the footsteps of our Zhao army into Nanjun, the Wu army in the entire Jingzhou will be restrained by the whole for this reason. ”"If my Zhao army is okay, then the Wu army will not waste labor and manpower in vain, and if our army does not attack, then the Wu army may change from active to passive.As long as our army does not attack for a day, then the Wu army will not be able to do further action, and it can be said that as long as our army makes a little use of men, it can contain the entire Wu army.This is the last thing the Wu army wants to see, presumably this is what Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, also thought of, so he gave up fighting with our army at the junction of Nanjun and Ba County, but the entire army retreated from Nanjun and retreated to the Jiangzhou area. ”"However, this simple retreat, in the eyes of some officers and men of our army, is like the Wu army retreated because it was defeated by our army.In this way, it is equivalent to creating an illusion for the officers and men of our army, which makes the hearts of the officers and men of our army more and more proud, and the officers and men of the Wu army have a bad breath in their hearts.It can be said that when it is forced to a certain extent, the soldiers of the Wu army will be a kind of fighting against the water.The officers and men of our army are becoming more and more in a proud mentality, and if this continues, once the battle is officially engaged, our army will inevitably be defeated. ”Just as a few people were talking, Zhao Yun on the side suddenly stood up and said: "It's just one point, I, Zhao Yun, are very puzzled, since the Wu army wants to take out most of the southern county to tempt our army, but why did Zhou Yu guard the Wu army in the Jiangling area?
You should also be careful to lurk and hide.Why is it so open-minded, let our army know that they are hiding in Jiangling, in this way, those Wu troops must have some conspiracy.Of course, this is just my Tai Shi Ci's opinion, in my opinion, Wu Jun gave us most of the Nanjun for nothing, so what kind of trap is waiting for us" "Hiss" As soon as Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci's voices fell, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were stunned for a moment, and then the two of them showed a look of surprise.Just as Zhao Yun and Tai Shici thought, although the two of them thought of such a simple truth, they didn't pay much attention to it.Could it be that as Zhao Yun and Tai Shici said, since Wu Jun pretended to be afraid of a head-on battle with Zhao Jun, so he left most of Nanjun to tempt Zhao Jun, then why did he deliberately reveal Wu Jun's movements to Zhao Jun.At that moment, I saw Guo Jia hurriedly bow to Zhao Yu and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the minister Guo Jia failed to think of these details, if it weren't for the two generals, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, then I really ignored this matter." ”After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xu Shu on the side also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Shu is also responsible for this matter, and Xu Shu didn't think of this." ”Looking at the eager and ashamed looks of the two, Zhao Yu hurriedly comforted and said: "Okay, you two don't have to blame yourself so much, people are not omnipotent after all, and it is normal to forget or neglect some things."
Besides, the generals of our Zhao State are already a group, and the loopholes that will appear will be supplemented by your ministers.The misunderstandings of the ministers will be filled by the generals, so that our Zhao army will become more powerful. ”After saying that, Zhao Yu smiled at the two of them again and said: "No matter what conspiracy there is for Wu Jun this time, I don't know if the two of you can find out the truth and crack it" At that moment, I saw Xu Shu bow to Zhao Yu and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the two of us will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's trust, and we will definitely be able to expose Zhou Yu's conspiracy." ”Zhao Yu immediately smiled and said: "This matter is entrusted to the two of you, the two of you must handle this matter well, I am waiting for the good news of the two of you."
It's just that next, what should we do is the army just stop and wait and see what happens, or continue to march forward?"
Then Guo Jia said: "If Guo Jia is allowed to make a decision, Guo Jia will not only not stop here, but will definitely let my Zhao army continue to advance."
Since the Wu army wanted to drop a huge decoy to lure our army into jumping in, before we could perceive the true purpose of the enemy army, then we were fortunate to pretend that we did not know the Wu army's tricks and advanced. ”"When we learn of Wu Jun's plan, we can plan it out, and then we will have all the initiative.On the surface, the Wu army seems to be active, but once its conspiracy is grasped by our army, then in private, the Wu army will fall into passivity.If we hold on to this, it will be tantamount to telling Wu Jun that we have discovered Wu Jun's conspiracy.In this way, the plans of the Wu army will be stopped, and even changed so that we can see through their plans, and then we will change from active to passive. ”When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "So, Guo Jia, you mean to see what Wu Jun wants to do, let them show their fox tails, and then plan it" Guo Jia nodded slightly and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, Guo Jia is exactly what he meant." ”At that moment, Zhao Yu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since this is the case, then our army will cooperate with the two of you in this matter."
If anyone dares to disobey the orders of the two of you, he will disobey my decree, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”With Zhao Yu giving Guo Jia and Xu Shu great power, this time Zhao Yu completely handed over the operation command of the entire army to the two.After receiving Zhao Yu's edict, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were not idle, and immediately began to plan.In the discussion between the two, I only heard Guo Jia say to Xu Shu: "Lord Xu Shu, if Guo Jia is not mistaken, Lord Xu Shu was under Liu Bei before he took refuge in His Majesty.And I have been with that Liu Bei before, and I have been in this Jingzhou land, so I should be very familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou. ”In response to Guo Jia's inquiry, Xu Shu replied without hesitation: "Don't hide it from Lord Guo Jia, Xu Shu followed Liu Bei to the south back then, and he did stay in Jingzhou.However, the places where Xu Shu stayed at the beginning were only Wuling County, Changsha County, Lingling County and Guiyang County, and they were just following around at that time, but they were not always there. ”After Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly said to Xu Shu: "Just this is enough, among our army, it can be said that only Lord Xu Shu knows the terrain of Jingzhou best."
Although our army is a combination of cavalry and infantry, the cavalry has an advantage, but the terrain of Jingzhou is uneven.If our army really wants to engage the enemy, we must use suitable and favorable terrain to engage the enemy," After listening to Guo Jia's words, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help nodding silently and said: "No wonder Zhou Yu of Wu State will give us Nanjun for nothing, after listening to Guo Jia's words, Xu Shu came to his senses."
Nanjun is originally a flat place, which is the most suitable for cavalry charging and fighting, presumably Zhou Yu also took this into account.Therefore, knowing that with the soldiers and horses of the Wu army, they could not fight with the cavalry of our army at all, so they planned and pretended to flee because they were afraid of our army, but in fact, all this was carefully arranged by Zhou Yu.It seems that Xu Shu really underestimated him Zhou Yu, but he didn't expect to be almost put on a stand by Zhou Yu. ”Later, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask again: "Then Lord Xu Shu, can you know that in addition to the land of Nanjun, what other places are there in Jingzhou, and where our cavalry can play, if our army can't find a place where the cavalry is suitable for fighting, it will be difficult to give full play to the advantages of our army's more than 300,000 soldiers and horses."
Therefore, if you want to defeat the Wu army, you must let the officers and soldiers of our army give full play to their strongest advantages and give full play to the combat power of the soldiers, so that we can have a chance to defeat the Wu army. ”:
