My grandfather's funeral ended yesterday, but I slept for less than 8 hours in three days and three nights, and I couldn't hold on anymore. In desperation, I slept from 5 pm yesterday until 7 pm yesterday.

Updates will be resumed today. Thank you for your support for the past few days!

"Chengyuan, is the battle situation between the Kuai Yue army and the Jiangdong army that Li Yan said just now? Have you ever sent someone to verify it?" After Li Yan left with his personal soldiers in the mansion, I asked Ding Feng in the department. After all, Li Yan is from the Jingzhou army. The military situation he mentioned must have "water". The difference is only the size of the "water". What is really reliable is the news that his family found! If you determine the plan for the battle, you must have accurate information as the basis, otherwise you can only joke about the lives of the soldiers under your command!

"Report to General, I have not been able to detect the more detailed information, but there are indeed a large group of people from the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army fighting fiercely in the west of Chaisang City!" Ding Feng replied respectfully.

"Yeah~~!" I responded softly, and I lowered my head and began to think.

"General, do we really want to cross the river and attack Chaisang?" Wei Yan frowned slightly and asked hesitantly.

"Wen Chang thought it was not possible?" The corners of my mouth curled slightly, and I looked up at Wei Yan and said.

"General, Kuai Yue's strategy of attacking Chaisang seems feasible at first glance, but in fact, there are many problems when you look at it in depth, and it is really not easy to implement!" Although he sometimes does impulsive things because of his urgent personality, once he calms down, Wei Yan is still quite insightful in his view of the problem. "The Jiangdong Army cannot be completely unprepared for our army's surprise attack on Chaisang. Zhou Yu's army has returned. He only needs to block the river surface of the Chaisang area with the main force of the Jiangdong Army Navy to stop it

Our army crossed the river. Although Lao Gan's Jinfan Camp defeated the Jiangdong Tour River Naval Army in a mess these days, it all relied on surprise attacks, and the enemy naval army was not the main force. If we confronted the main force of the Jiangdong naval army head-on, Lao Gan's current strength might not be an opponent. Without the cover of the navy, our infantry crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Chaisang will inevitably have serious casualties. By then, even if we can cross the Yangtze River, it would be a huge question to have some combat power."

"Uncle San, I think what Chang Wen said is very reasonable! And it is still unknown whether Kuai Yue's army can support our army to rescue!" Guan Ping also nodded and agreed to Wei Yan.

"But our army and the Jingzhou army finally have an alliance. Kuai Yue is here to ask for help now, so we can't ignore it! If we reject Kuai Yue like this, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two armies in the future!" Li Tong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "And, no matter what, the main force of the Jiangdong Army has been completely entangled in the city of Chaisang, and its military strength will definitely be consumed. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our army to cross the south and advance south. We must not give up easily!"

After hearing what Wei Yan, Guan Ping and Li Tong said, I nodded slightly and expressed my agreement, but this action made the generals in the hall confused.

"General, what are your plans? Should we send troops to raid Chaisang immediately at the request of Kuai Yue?" Wei Yan asked in confusion.

"The soldiers will naturally come out! Wenda said it well. If you ignore Kuai Yue's request for help, one will violate the loyalty of our army, the other will inevitably shake the alliance relationship between our army and Liu Biao's army, and the third will also lose a great opportunity to attack Jiangdong!" I had a certain plan in my heart. After a smile, I replied loudly: "And Chaisang must also attack! But the purpose of this 'attack' is not to 'take', but to 'disturbance'!"

"'Attack' and not take it?...ah..." Li Tong thought carefully about my words, and suddenly said with some clarity: "Is the general trying to attack Chaisang and take it elsewhere?"

"Not bad!" I nodded while looking at the map, "My long-term concerns are quite reasonable. If our army crosses the river and takes Chaisang, it will inevitably be intercepted by the main force of the Jiangdong Navy. This is unwise. I only want to use the navy to go to the waters near Chaisang to harass the waters near Chaisang. In this way, one is to respond to the Kuai Yue army, and the other is to attract the attention of the Jiangdong Army and relax its vigilance against other places. Our infantry army is looking for an opportunity to cross the river from other places and attack the hinterland of Jiangdong!"

"General's strategy is very feasible! Chaisang is the most important and critical place in the six counties in Jiangdong. If Chaisang is defeated, even if Sun Quan can escape from the city, his Sun family will inevitably lose the trust of the people of Jiangdong. Therefore, the Jiangdong army's attention must be all focused on the battle outside the city of Chaisang. As long as our army acts as a joint attack on Chaisang with Kuai Yue, Sun Quan will step up the transfer of troops from all over the place to Chaisang to assist in defense. But in this way, the defense of other jurisdictions will inevitably become weaker! This is a good opportunity for our army to attack!" Li Tong's eyes showed a gleam and he spoke out.

"General, where are we going to attack?" Wei Yan asked anxiously.

"Come on! Come on!" I recruited Li Tong, Wei Yan, Liao Hua and other generals and schools in the hall to the table in front of me, and then pointed at the map on the table with my hands: "I want to cross the river from here!"

"Niuzhu?!!!" Wei Yan exclaimed softly, but then said in some confusion: "General, is this suitable here?"

"No less than 15 miles southwest of Niuzhu is the base of the Jiangdong East Road River Patrol Navy Army - Wuhu!" Ding Feng added in a low voice.

I know what Wei Yan's doubts are - Niuzhu is close to the Jiangdong Naval Army's garrison. Crossing the river here can easily attract the attention of the Jiangdong Naval Army, easily expose the target and may be intercepted! Nodded, I smiled and said, "After crossing the river, the first place I prepared for the strategy is Wuhu. First knock down the Jiangdong Naval Army's garrison! If you can successfully attack Wuhu, first, you can completely eliminate the threat of the Jiangdong Naval Army's tide on our army's troops and food transportation lines; second, you can attack Jiangdong for our army and capture the foundation of the city and land.

.After seizing Wuhu, our army can advance eastward, take advantage of the strong elite of the Jiangdong Army's main force and its strength is seriously damaged, and the defense of the counties on the eastward front is weak, and the attack on Danyang County with a thunderous force, first form a three-county place in Danyang, Lujiang and Shouchun. Then, we can use Sheng Xian to raise an army to fight against Sun Yuan's remnant, lead the army southward, and quickly attack Wu and Kuaiji counties. If we can control the three eastern counties of the six counties in Jiangdong in the shortest time, even if Sun Quan repels the Jingzhou army and frees up his hands to counterattack the lost territory, we can handle it calmly without being at a disadvantage."

After a pause, I continued, "Of course, there will be certain risks in such a fast attack, but time is not enough. If we cannot rush to completely repel the Jingzhou army and restore our vitality, we will gain a foothold in Jiangdong. If we want to plot against Jiangdong again in the future, we will never find such a good opportunity!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? How can you not take risks when marching and fighting? I agree with the general's quick battle plan!" After his doubts were lifted, Wei Yan's belligerent personality was immediately revealed, "General, if you want to rush your army to advance south, Yan is willing to go first."

"Tong is also willing to ask for the first time, and beg the general to allow it!" Seeing Wei Yan asking for the order, Li Tong said without hesitation.

"After crossing the river and raiding Wuhu in advance, he could only use a small number of military horses, and a capable person would really need to lead the army. Wenda and Wenchang, with your talents, can all take this important task. But among you, there is only one person who can take the responsibility of taking the lead, and even crossing the river to attack Jiangdong. Because I still need to keep one of you as the prefect of Lujiang and guarding Lujiang. After our army crosses south, Lujiang will be the key to connecting our southern army and Shouchun. Its status is extremely important and you must not make any mistakes." I focused my eyes on Li Tong and Wei Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Who among you is willing to guard Lujiang for me?" Among the generals under my tent, when it comes to military governance, strategy and military positions, they can take on the important task of guarding Lujiang, but there are only Li and Wei! The rest, like Liao Hua, Lin Xue, Jin Chou, etc., are still lacking in their abilities.

Seeing that I was asking who was willing to stay and guard Lujiang, not who wanted to go to war with the army, Li Tong and Wei Yan both started to speak silently after Wei Leng.

After a while, seeing that neither of them asked for help, I pretended to be helpless and said, "Does Wenda and Wenchang both want to share my worries?"

"I am willing to guard Lujiang at the end!" After hearing what I said, Li Tong and Wei Yan bowed and clasped their fists at the same time.

"You both have this kind of heart, it's great!" I smiled slightly and praised, "But I said just now that you can only have one of you stayed behind, and the other one will follow me to fight... Well! Wenda, you are more calm and reliable, so you will guard Lujiang. How about you?"

"Receive the order! Tongding will not be held responsible for the general!" Li Tong said in a deep voice without a trace.

"Okay! I immediately ordered someone to rush to Shouchun and ask my elder brother Baiwenda to be the prefect of Lujiang!" I nodded and said, "Wenda, after I lead the army to the south, I will be able to keep you limited troops and horses. Your responsibility to defend the territory is quite difficult!"

"Please rest assured, General! But with 2,000 troops, Tong can guarantee that Lujiang will not be lost! Besides, I can also ask for help from my lord at any time!" Li Tong replied in a deep voice.

"Yeah!" After nodding to Li Tong, I said to Wei Yan in a deep voice: "Chang Wen, the important task of leading the army to cross the river first and raid Wuhu will be left to you!"

"Receive the order! Please rest assured, General, Wei Yan will not let you down!" Wei Yan responded with a little excitement.

"Chengyuan, you immediately leave the city to contact Xingba, and I will be ordered to command the main force of Jinfan Camp to go to Chaisang to deal with the Jiangdong Navy to support Kuai Yue's army. When dealing with it, you only need to use guerrilla harassment tactics and do not need to consume head-on with the Jiangdong Navy. Xingba decides on the specific way to fight on his own, and there is no need to ask me for instructions! In addition, let Xingba send a navy to Ruxuwu to prepare to cover the infantry's crossing the river to fight!" I turned to Ding Feng on the side and said.

"Yes, General! Then I will contact the captain!" Ding Feng immediately responded.

"Yeah, go!" I nodded to him and said.

"I will leave!" Ding Feng bowed deeply to me, then turned around and strode away from the conference hall.

"Dingguo, you can return to Shouchun immediately!" I turned my attention to Guan Ping, "First inform your uncle and your father about my preparation for crossing the river to attack Jiangdong. Then, there are two more things to ask them to prepare as soon as possible! The first thing is to ask your uncle to draft a manifesto to oppose Sun so that our army's attack on Jiangdong will be in a clear way, and it will also help to calm the people's hearts after conquering Jiangdong counties; the second thing is to ask your uncle to dispatch 12,000 reinforcements to Lujiang for the purpose of Wenda's defense of the territory! These two things are urgent, you go early and return early!"

"Don't worry, Uncle San, I'll set off now!" Guan Ping responded and took the order and left.

"Wenda, quickly mobilize food and supplies from the city for our army's southern expedition! Wenchang, quickly select a thousand elite soldiers and go to Ruxuwu to cross the river to attack Wuhu tonight. Today's weather is gloomy and depressing, and it is very likely to rain at dusk. Such a dark and rainy night is a good time to cross the river and attack."

"Get the order!" Li Tong and Wei Yan took the orders to leave the hall in unison.

…………

After orders were issued, the generals and schoolmen in the hall successively took orders and left, leaving me alone in the conference hall. After staring at the map and thinking for a long time, I stood up, walked to the door of the hall, looked up at the gloomy sky, and sighed lightly.
Chapter completed!
