Until the afternoon.

While Lin Chen and Zhang Fei were resting in the county office, good news finally came.

The local big family is very interested in the joint-stock caravan and is willing to join the Liu Bei group.

After listening to the description quietly, Lin Chen looked at Mi Fang and said, "That's it? It's gone?"

"I just know that I can't hide it from the military advisor..."

After Mi Fang looked at Lin Chen strangely, he said slowly: "In addition, they are also willing to sponsor the lord's 3,000 elite soldiers and 500 warships."

“It’s almost the same.”

Lin Chen smiled and looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Third Brother, you have someone pull half of these three thousand people into the army, and send another five hundred people from Xuzhou to follow the lord, and a thousand soldiers recruited from Lujiang."

"oh."

Zhang Fei raised his head, stood up and ran outside to mutter to the messenger for a while, and then came back to Lin Chen.

He is now a number issuing machine.

This is also Liu Bei's request for him to send troops. Otherwise, Gao Shun might have followed Lin Chen.

Zhang Fei naturally wanted to make contributions in war, and he didn't want to let Lin Chen go, so he made a promise.

Of course.

Something strange happened in this.

For example, after Zhang Fei made a promise, Liu Bei ordered Gao Shun to go to war with him as the deputy general...

He was completely stupid at that time.

"Zi Fang, the next thing you have to do is to contact the local big family every time you go, and make a promise on behalf of Zi Zhong."

"Other than that, you have to protect yourself."

Lin Chen ignored Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him, and began to give instructions to Mi Fang without any concealment.

Mi Fang nodded and said, "Don't worry, military advisor, Fang understands."

"Okay, then that's it."

Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction and asked sincerely: "Next, I want to talk about the march route with my third brother. Do Zifang want to listen to it together?"

"I will not participate in military strategy matters, please ask the military advisor." Mi Fang waved her hand with a smile and left.

This person doesn't seem to be able to make backstabs...

Lin Chen looked at Mi Fang's back and squinted his eyes.

"Ziyuan, what should we fight next? Tell me quickly, I'm almost in a hurry to death, third brother."

When Mi Fang left completely, Zhang Fei started yelling.

This cannot be blamed on him.

Before he came, Lin Chen only said that he wanted to attack Xunyang, but judging from his current appearance, it was obvious that it was not just attacking Xunyang.

But the problem is that even if they add the 500 warships sent by the Xunyang master, they can't beat Huang Zu at all.

"us……"

Lin Chen approached Zhang Fei and muttered in a low voice.

"So...it's like this!"

Zhang Fei's eyes became brighter and brighter. At the end, he slapped his thigh hard and said, "Sure enough, there will be a big battle with Ziyuan."

"This is just foreplay, and there will be a bigger strategy after that..."

Lin Chen smiled mysteriously, and after Zhang Fei looked over curiously, he shook his head and said, "However, it's not yet time to reveal it."

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said without caring at all: "No matter where I fight, as long as I can make a contribution to my elder brother's support for the Han Dynasty, I will be satisfied."

The army rested in Xunyang for half a day.

In the past half a day, Lin Chen asked someone to contact Liu Yao again in case he suddenly had someone to have a back prick.

After receiving the friendship letter written by the latter, he felt relieved.

As it was almost evening, he asked Zhang Fei to order the whole army to have dinner.

After everyone had eaten and tied up all the food and grass, as he ordered Zhang Fei, the entire army headed northwest again.

Xunyang City, he is no longer worried.

The system of joint-stock caravans is enough to ensure the alliance between Liu Bei's army and the local big family.

In addition, Liu Yao will not be able to back-sting, and reinforcements will come later...

Lin Chen can move forward with confidence without having to worry about it behind him.

Because, someone will come to clean up the situation later.

Of course, after Lin Chen's experience, there seemed to be nothing left to clean up.

...

After raiding all the way, before nightfall, Lin Chen and Zhang Fei finally arrived before Sefeng Pass (now Sefeng Mountain, Qichun County).

Only when we got here did we truly reach the core area of ​​Jiangxia.

The first thing I want to talk about is the terrain here...

Due to the extension of the remaining veins of the Dabie Mountains, there are many mountains blocking them between Qichun and Xunyang.

It can be said to be a natural level.

Whether you want to go north or to Jingzhou in the northwest, you have to go here.

Therefore, since ancient times, Jin land has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

In original history.

After Sun Quan robbed Jingnan, he set up a county with Qichun as the boundary, leading Xunyang, Zhu County and Qichun three counties, two passes and eight cities, and then Fankou and Xiakou were used as the backdrop to Cao Wei.

However, at this moment, the Qichun area is the gateway to Jiangxia and Huang Zu’s support.

It can be said that opening Qidi was really important for Liu Bei's army.

As long as he takes over Qichun and other places, even if he cannot expand later, Liu Bei will be able to transform into the overlord of the Jianghuai River.

Once Yuan Shu causes trouble in the future, if he can get a little benefit from it, it will be a big trend.

Of course, since Qichun's geography is very important, it is naturally not that easy to get.

Moreover, compared with areas like Wancheng, Tongxiangcheng and even Shucheng, Qichun is not as terrifying as Hulao Pass, Sishui Pass, and Tongguan.

But there are three auxiliary cities and one level, and relying on each other everywhere, which can definitely be called easy to defend but difficult to attack.

[Tier peak level: low risk, strategy success rate is 88%, recommended strategy]

[Qichun: In danger, the strategy success rate is 41%, it is not recommended to attack strongly]

[Shiyi: Low risk: The success rate of the strategy is 67%, not recommended to strategy]

...

After a brief look, the military sense of smell directly told Lin Chen that although it was difficult to win Qichun, there were still some things to use.

For example, the peak level.

Originally, he thought that Chen would guard this level well, but now it seems that this guy clearly shrank all the defenders in Qichun and Shiyi.

Of course, sometimes you can’t just look at whether it is empty or not.

If Lin Chen had no external sense of military smell, could he directly judge the emptiness of the peak level?

Surely not possible.

Without plug-ins, according to the basic principles of siege, he would definitely attack Shiyi first, take this strategic buffering point, then divide the troops into peak gates, and then attack Qichun from both directions...

If you do this, you will be fooled by Chen.

At that time, he will definitely be empty due to division of troops, so Chen will take the opportunity to attack again...

Basically, people with some military literacy know what will happen afterwards.

That's right, Chen will defeat one by one, not giving the siege people the opportunity to reunite. First, defeat the people from Shiyi, and then openly let a few people go to report the news, so that the people at the peak of the strategy level will be turned back...

At that time, the peak gate did not move at all, but Shiyi, which had no place to rely on, would have a battle break out one after another.

Since Chen is under Huang Zu's command, he is definitely a local battle. If you want to win, you can only think about it.

It would be nice to be able to run out.

However, at the moment, because Lin Chen's military sense of smell was extremely terrifying, the moment he saw the situation clearly, he instantly made up his mind.

"San brother, go and attack the Peak!"

When he said this, he was laughing wildly inside.

It’s because everyone thinks that the siege must first attack the city and then pull out the pass, but he didn’t do that…

"ah?"

Zhang Fei was stunned. He stared at Lin Chen carefully for a while before carefully tentatively saying: "It's hard, shouldn't it be necessary to capture Shi Yi first?"

You must know.

If they go to the Sefeng Pass at this time, as long as there is a thousand defenders there, it will be enough to stop them from moving forward.
