The rain has been falling, and the tiger and leopard riding camp tent has also moved to the inner city, at this moment there are still many houses in Jiangling City that are uninhabited, and it is no more or no less to stuff 3,000 people, of course, Cao Chong's move is just afraid that the gunpowder grenade will be wet and cannot be used, so he has some scruples in his heart.
Cao Chong already knew a little about the war ahead, and every day he went to Cao Chong's camp to report the military situation to Cao Chong.
Day by day, the intelligence is integrated, and the general situation ahead is vividly visible.
Cao Chong discussed things with Zhou Budo, Guo Xiao and others in the camp every day, and was preparing for when to fight.
The timing of the battle is naturally very exquisite, neither too fast to fight, too fast to fight, Liu Bei's vital strength has not been consumed, Cao Chong tiger and leopard riding forward, may not have any effect, but if the time passes, let Liu Bei's army break Cao Jun, or let Cao Jun break Liu Bei, then he came to Jingzhou, he really came to travel.
And now, it seems to be a good opportunity, so Cao Chong called Zhou Budo, Guo Xiao, Zhao Yan and others in, and even Zhou Dufu Dian Gao Yi was present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any views on the current situation?"
Zhou Dufu was naturally stupid, and he didn't say a word if he wanted him to charge, but if he wanted to use his brain, it would be equivalent to killing him, so this reckless man kept smirking off the field while touching his head.
If it weren't for Zhou Ying's face, Cao Chong would have slapped him a long time ago.
Usually, it is Zhou Budo, Guo Xiao, and Zhao Yan who speak in this kind of scene, and Cao Chong called everyone out, on the one hand, he also had a glimmer of hope for them, hoping to be able to offer strange strategies, and on the other hand, he hoped that they could learn a hand in the handling of Zhou Budo and others.
It must be known that there are more people who can charge into battle, but there are very few people who can fight and have strategy.
And Cao Chong just hopes that he has such a group of people under him.
"Wenzhi, what do you think?"
Zhou Budo came out of the ranks, saluted Cao Chong, and then half-turned to look at everyone present, and said, "Wen Zhi thinks that Gongzi can ask for battle."
Please Cao Chong actually already had this idea, because now the situation is clear, Wuling City Cao Cao can't attack for a long time, and if he attacks again, it may only be in vain If Xun You Jia Xu offered Cao Cao a strange strategy to deal with Liu Bei at this moment, then it would not be so easy for Cao Chong to encounter this situation in front of him.
Of course, although Cao Chong recognized Zhou Budo's strategy in his heart, Cao Chong did not show his approval of Zhou Budo on his face, Cao Chong was expressionless at the moment, and from the expression on his face, he couldn't tell whether Cao Chong supported or opposed Zhou Budo's strategy.
"Bong and Ke have thoughts" Guo Xiao has some of Guo Fengxiao's demeanor, of course, compared to Guo Jia, Guo Xiao is still a little inferior, but even if it is inferior, if there is one-tenth of Guo Jiaqi's plan, it is enough for the current situation.
"Childe" Guo Xiao took a step forward, saluted Cao Chong, and said: "Guo Xiao thinks that he should fight" Hey Cao Chong was curious in his heart, under normal circumstances, Guo Xiao sang against Zhou Budo, but he didn't expect that now his husband and wife would come up.
"Why" Cao Chong wanted to know why.
Guo Xiao smiled and said: "The battle ahead is stalemate, if Gongzi can break the enemy army, this is the first merit, this is one of them."
Second, Childe has a sharp weapon of mortar, and he has a chance of winning this battle.
The last point, and the most important point, is that if Childe is trapped in Jiangling, no matter whether he wins or loses in front of him, Childe must be a cowardly person in the hearts of a veteran, but it is not appropriate."
Cao Chong nodded, these three points are indeed the three biggest reasons for his own fight.
First, if you have a mortar, you can win, and second, if you win this battle, the credit is huge.
Third, to be able to get the blue eyes of the generals in the army, which is also what Cao Chong wants most.
Why are the generals in the army on Cao Pi's side?
That's because Cao Pi has been on the battlefield, fought battles, and has contact with soldiers and generals, so the generals in the army respect Cao Pi, but if he does better than Cao Pi, what will happen Will it be respected by these generals who are based on military merits?
This Cao Chong is not sure, but it is certain that his prestige in the army in the future will not be able to confront Cao Pi, which is very important Since everyone has no objections, Cao Chong is not polite, and said to Zhou Budo: "If you ask for a war book, please write it directly, can you?"
Although Cao Chong has some literary talents, after all, he can't cite scriptures, and the petition he wrote is not strong enough, so it is better to let professional people write it.
"Nuo" Zhou Budo immediately received the order, and just as Cao Chong was about to let everyone step back, Gao Yi stepped up.
"Childe, the last general thinks that there is still something wrong" Cao Chong stretched out his hand and motioned for Gao Yi to continue.
"If you have something to say in a high team, you can speak freely" Gao Yi hugged Cao Chong with a fist, and then said: "The autumn rain is continuous, more than ten days, at this time, the official road in Jingzhou is already muddy, and it is still difficult for the soldiers to walk, how can the mortar be transported with such a heavy object" Hearing Gao Yi's words, Cao Chong's brows furrowed again. yes, why didn't I think about that?
In the Jingzhou area, the water system is all over the place, and in some places, even if it doesn't rain, it is difficult to leave, and when it rains, it will be impossible to leave, let alone transport mortars, which are hundreds of pounds of iron lumps.
Besides, if the water vapor is too heavy, Cao Chong's mortar shells may also be dumbfounded, which is good Looking at Cao Chong's frowning appearance, Zhao Yan stood up.
"Since the land of Jingchu is full of water networks, why not use boats to transport it?"
Cao Chong's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then the brightness in his eyes darkened.
"The water net can send boats along the water, but how can it sail against the current, especially on rainy days, the amount of water is huge, how can manpower resist" When Zhao Yan heard this, it seemed to be the same thing, and his eyes dimmed a lot.
At this time, the normally silent Dianman spoke.
"You can take a boat to cross those difficult roads, and if the other roads are not too difficult to march, you can ask the soldiers to carry mortars."
Cao Chong heard Dianman's words, his eyes regained their brilliance, Cao Chong walked towards the sand table in front of him, and finally a smile appeared in his eyes.
Not to mention, if you follow the tributaries of the Han River, you can indeed avoid those places where the water system is complicated, Cao Chong's eyes lit up, and his eyes also had other meanings. can see this problem in the details, and the pawn is not brave and strategic.
"Even so, then Wen Zhi will ghostwrite first, Fenghe Deshui, you will go and inform Cao Xiu and the others, and say that we will pull out the camp and go out in a few days."
"No" Soon after, he rode out of Jiangling City, and on the muddy road, he quickly rushed to the main tent of Cao Jun outside Wuling City, and in Jiangling City, under the restlessness of the tiger and leopard ride, he finally recovered a little bit of vitality.
But in the distance, the war broke out again:
