Chapter 46

After asking Quan Cong, I stared at the map on the table and pondered again. After a little comparison with the discovered information, it was basically confirmed that Quan Cong should not have lie to me, and the information he provided was almost true. However, since Quan Cong was not directly stationed in Wujun, all he could master was roughly the information, and the accuracy was slightly lacking.

"Qua...Piling...Wucheng..." I kept murmuring in a low voice when I focused on the three points on the map. The key to the strategy of Wujun is undoubtedly these three main places to hoard troops. As long as the Jiangdong Army's living forces are able to eliminate the vitality of the Jiangdong Army, it is no problem to seize the land in the city.

However, how should we implement the strategy for Wujun? A more important tactic is to take steps: first eliminate the Qua and Piling on the periphery, and then attack Wucheng. The advantage of the tactic is that the risk is small, but the disadvantage is also very obvious - it will take more time and military strength. As the hinterland of Jiangdong becomes deeper and deeper, the news of our army's crossing the river will become more and more difficult to keep confidential. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the possibility of leaking secrets. At present, a very important reason why our army can progress so smoothly is that the enemy is open and we are secret, the enemy is unintentional and we are prepared. In addition, we don't know when the war on the Western Front will end. If Zhou Yu returns to the army, it will be difficult to resolve the Wujun war. At that time, the trouble will be great.

In addition to the steady tactics of step by step, there is also a risky tactic - "piercing the heart" battle! He abandoned Qu'a on the periphery, and found him to attack Huanglong and rush to Wucheng. Because the current situation in Wujun is quite unstable and undercurrents are surging, once we can conquer Wucheng, capture and kill Sun Jing, and then send a message to various places, it is very likely to set Wucheng in one go in the shortest time. Wujun's troops are concentrated in three cities, and there are almost no defenders in the remaining cities, which also provides the possibility for the implementation of the "piercing the heart" tactic. However, the risk of this tactic is quite great. If the news leaks during the attack, Wucheng will be prepared. By then, our army will turn from a surprise attack to a strong attack, and the ending will be unpredictable. If the strong attack cannot be successful in a short period of time, and then Sun Jing recruits Qu'a, Piling's garrison will return to the stone and attack, it will probably be impossible to escape!

Stabilizing? Adventure? What tactic should I choose? My brows couldn't help but frown deeply...

……………………………………………………………

Under the city of Chaisang, the Jingzhou army camp.

"See Kuai Du!" Huang Zhong, the commander of the trap, stepped into the main tent of the central army with blood. When he saw Kuai Yue, he immediately bowed and said.

"Han Sheng, can't he attack?" As soon as he saw Huang Zhong's appearance, Kuai Yue had already guessed the result of today's siege.

"The last general is incompetent! Although he attacked the city, he still..." Huang Zhong nodded slightly, and replied with a little ashamed. Huang Zhong, who is in his fifties, has a tall figure, is dignified and majestic. He has a three-foot-long beard under his chin and has a slightly white look. Because he had just passed a bloody battle, his expression looked quite tired.

"You are not blamed!" Kuai Yue sighed inwardly, shook his head and said, "Now Chaisang's garrison is getting stronger and stronger..."

"Duke Kuai, today we saw Han Dang at the top of the city, and we also fought with him a few times. It seems that Zhou Yu dispatched a group of troops from the waterway to Chaisang!" Huang Zhong raised his blood-stained cuffs, slapped the blood on his face, and said in a deep voice.

Kuai Yue frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said sadly: "What a pity! If my Jingzhou navy was still there, how could he allow Zhou Yu to use the navy to mobilize his troops to reinforce Chaisang so easily! That guy Cai Mao had misled me from Jingzhou very much..."

"Duke Kuai, we are in a dilemma now!" Liu Pan said worriedly: "With Chaisang's current defense, our army may no longer be able to break it! Moreover, our army has few remaining military rations, and at most it can last for four or five days. At that time...oh!" At the end of the story, Liu Pan couldn't help but sigh.

"………………” Kuai Yue hesitated for a long time and said in a deep voice: “Since you can’t enter, you can only withdraw…”

"But Governor Kuai, even if our army wants to retreat now, it may be difficult to retreat!" Liu Pan said helplessly, "Whether you want to go back to Jingnan or retreat to Jiangxia, you need to break through Zhou Yu's blockade. If the Jiangdong army in Chaisang City will also come out at that time, our army will definitely be spared if we attack on both sides!" After a pause, Liu Pan suddenly thought of something and said angrily: "It's a pity that Zhang Fei has no courage. If he is willing to send troops to cross the river and attack our army with Chaisang, perhaps the overall situation in Jiangdong has been decided at this time!"

"...I don't blame Zhang Fei for this matter! If it were me, I would probably not have come to this wave of mixed water. The Jiangdong Navy blocked the Yangtze River. With the strength of Zhang Fei's navy, it is no match for him. If he wanted to attack Chaisang, it is still unknown whether he could cross the Yangtze River safely! Besides, he still sent a navy to support him, which is worthy of us!" Kuai Yue smiled helplessly and shook his head and said, "In fact, I also have a great responsibility for the formation of today's passive situation. If I could invite Zhang Fei to attack Chaisang earlier before the Jiangdong Navy returned to Chaisang, it might be as public power said - the overall situation in Jiangdong has been decided! Unfortunately, I still underestimated Zhou Yu, but I didn't expect that he could return to Chaisang so quickly!"

"Director Kuai, this Chaisang is close to you. It's a pity to give up like this. Why don't you let the general try again!" Huang Zhong asked in a sigh and said, "Save your life, the general will also attack the general Kuai general!"

"Forget it, Han Sheng!" Kuai Yue shook his head and said melancholy: "After so many days of attacking the city without success, the spirit of the soldiers in the army has almost been worn out. If you continue to attack, you can only work hard and spend only military strength!"

"Even if you want to withdraw your troops, you have to think of a complete plan! I wonder what kind of tricks does Kuai have?" Liu Pan asked hesitantly.

"...If you want to evacuate safely, you may still need the help of Zhang Fei's navy!" Kuai Yue pondered for a moment, as if he had made a decision, and Ningsheng said to Liu Pan: "Public Power, go and call Li Yan, who was on the last mission to Lujiang!"

"Yes, Mr. Kuai!"

"Hansheng, you have worked hard to attack the city. Let's go down and wash and change your armor!" After Liu Pan left the tent, Kuai Yue slowed down and said to Huang Zhong in a harmonious voice.

"I will surrender first!" Huang Zhong bowed and bowed to Kuai Yueshen, then turned around and strode away from the tent.

Soon, Liu Pan led Li Yan to the central army tent.

"Chief Li Ting, when you returned from Lujiang the last time, was it escorted by Liu Bei's Jinfan Navy?" After Li Yan finished giving the gift, Kuai Yue asked in harmony.

"I have reported to Duke Kuai, that's exactly what it is!" Li Yan replied respectfully and briefly.

"Did you ever see Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan Navy on that way?" Kuai Yue nodded and asked.

Hearing Kuai Yue inquired, a light flashed in Li Yan's lower eyes, as if he had grasped some of Kuai Yue's intentions. Without hesitation, Li Yan quickly replied respectfully: "Report to Kuai, the villain has indeed seen Gan Ning! It was under Gan Ning's arrangement that the villain could avoid the blockade of the Jiangdong Navy and return to the camp safely!"

"Yeah~~!" Kuai Yue looked unhappy and surprised, as if Li Yan's answer was in his grasp. After responding softly, Kuai Yue continued to ask, "Chief Li, do you have a way to contact Gan Ning again?"

"This..." Li Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "The villain can try hard, but he cannot guarantee whether he can find Gan Ning!"

"Okay!" Kuai Yue nodded and said with a faint smile: "Chief Li Ting, you are a person of knowledge, and I don't have to hide anything from you! Now our army is in a dilemma, I believe you are very clear about it. As this situation develops, even if our army is undefeated in the battle formation, it will be dragged down by the Jiangdong Army. Therefore, I am trying to withdraw the troops back to Jingzhou. But judging by the current situation of our army being attacked on both sides, it is very likely that the rash withdrawal of the troops will lead to a defeat..." After a pause, Kuai Yue continued: "So, if our army wants to retreat unstoppable, it must be supported by external troops! And the Ganning Navy will be a big arm to help..."

"Duke Kuai..." Li Yan opened his mouth and stopped.

"Yeah~? It's okay to say something but it's okay!" Kuai Yue didn't mind Li Yan interrupting his words and said in a harmonious voice.

"Duke Kuai, although the Ganning Navy has extraordinary combat power, it cannot be said to the Jiangdong Navy. Even if you ask for help from it, it will probably be useless for our army to withdraw?" Li Yan replied hesitantly.

"Haha..." Kuai Yue smiled lightly and said, "I have never put the hope of An Ran's evacuation entirely on the Gan Ning navy. However, in terms of the current situation, it is inseparable from their help!"

Liu Pan, who was standing beside him, was also attracted by Kuai Yue's words and asked anxiously: "Du Kuai, what are your plans?"

"If you want to escape unstoppably, you can only ask for help from Jingzhou. Please send troops and horses to help our army withdraw!" Kuai Yue said in a deep voice: "But the current connection between our army and Jingzhou has been completely blocked by Zhou Yu's water and the two armies. If you want to send letters to Jingzhou, you must rely on the Ganning naval army!"

"Ceek for help from Jingzhou?" Liu Pan said somewhat unhappy: "The previous governor Cai was defeated by Zhou Yu, and his military strength was greatly exhausted. Is there any reinforcements in Jingzhou that can be sent?"

"Don't worry about public power. Although Cai Mao was defeated, the entire army would not be wiped out. Zhou Yu was eager to return to the army to Chaisang for rescue, so he had no chance to pursue him in depth. As I expected, Cai Mao and Huang Zu could at least maintain half of the troops to retreat to Jiangxia and Hanyang." Kuai Yue sighed lightly and said, "However, after the defeat, Cai Mao was already scared, and he would never take the initiative to rescue me. Only by sending people to Xiangyang for help and the provincial governor personally ordered it, can Cai Mao be forced to support our army." Kuai Yue knew Cai Mao's nature, and he felt deeply helpless!

"Chief Li Ting, after nightfall today, you will take a boat and use the gaps of the Jiangdong Navy's patrol to go east along the river and try your best to find Gan Ning. Then, please send people to Xiangyang as quickly as possible to convey the urgent request for help to the provincial governor!" After explaining Liu Pan's doubts, Kuai Yue turned to Li Yan and ordered in a deep voice: "Gan Ning is extremely familiar with the great rivers and rivers in Jingyang. As long as he is willing to help, he can definitely find the safest and convenient waterway and send the request for help to Xiangyang in the shortest time!"

"No!" Li Yan responded respectfully.

"Yeah!" Kuai Yue nodded slightly with satisfaction, then returned to the table, picked up the pen and quickly wrote a letter of help. After blowing the ink on the silk book, Kuai Yue found a brocade bag and placed it in it, sealing the bag. Then, Kuai Yue solemnly handed the brocade bag into Li Yan's hand and said in a deep voice: "Chief Li, this matter is related to the fate of the army! The life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers in our army will be handed over to you!"

"I dare not let down the high hopes of Director Kuai. The villain will do his best to complete the trust of Director Kuai." Li Yan took the bag with both hands and replied respectfully, "The villain will go down and prepare..."

"Let's go!" Kuai Yue suddenly made a sound and stopped Li Yan who was about to retreat. "Chief Li Ting, if he sees Gan Ning, in addition to asking him to send letters for help, he will also ask him to increase the harassment of the Jiangdong Navy!"

"Yes, the villain understands!"

"Okay! You go down and prepare!" Kuai Yue nodded slightly and said in a harmonious voice.

"Duke Kuai, even if Li Yan finds Gan Ning, he may not be able to help." After Li Yan left the central army tent, Liu Pan said worriedly.

Kuai Yue smiled melancholy and sighed, "Our army and Liu Bei's army are now in a relationship. If our army is completely defeated, the next target for Jiangdong Army to deal with will be Liu Bei's army. For Liu Bei, only by keeping our army's strength as much as possible can we restrain the Jiangdong army. Therefore, Gan Ning will definitely help us. I am afraid that we cannot find Gan Ning in the shortest time, or Li Yan will fall directly into the hands of the Jiangdong Navy!"

"Don't worry about this! Although Li Yan is just a pavilion chief, his martial arts and tricks are indeed extraordinary, and he will not be easily controlled by the Jiangdong Navy!" Liu Pan once took charge of military affairs in Changsha County, and Baqiu County, where Li Yan was the pavilion chief, was under the jurisdiction of Changsha County, so Liu Pan still had some understanding of Li Yan's ability.

"I hope so..." Kuai Yue's eyes became deeper and deeper. After pondering for a moment, he sighed with a sigh: "How could the opportunity to pacify Jiangdong like this become such a field..."
