"Here you come!"

Looking at the smoke and dust appearing in the distance, Zhao Yun smiled and said to Duan Ying, "General Lin is on time, saying that March 20th will arrive, and the twentyth will arrive."

Duan Ying sat on the four-wheeler and said with a smile, "Although General Lin's bravery is nothing in the Hebei army, the strictness and integrity of the army is rare in the world."

Zhao Yun nodded, looked back at Nanfang and said, "Shouchun should have received news."

"Well, Sun Quan is worthy of being the son of Sun Gongtai, and he was not scared to tears by our army." Duan Ying's tone was full of disdain for Sun Quan.

It's no wonder that Sun Quan was only fifteen years old at this time, and in Duan Ying's eyes, he was just a child with a yellow mouth, so how could he be afraid of him?

In fact, let alone Sun Quan, Sun Ce and Sun Ce are only twenty-two years old now, and in later generations, they are just the age when they have just graduated from university.

"When he saw my army approaching the city, he would cry."

According to the orders of the General's Mansion, in order to attract Jing and Yang's attention, the eastern front will first launch an attack on Jing Yang. Only after the Yangzhou troops gather in Shouchun will Ma Qiang on the middle front lead the main force out of Nanyang to fight towards Xiangyang City.

"Lin Hai, the commander of the Second Army of the Great Han Dynasty (Guan Hai, the commander of the Third Army of the Great Han Dynasty), reported to General Pingdong and Envoy Duan!"

Zhao Yun smiled and helped the two of them up, then asked Duan Ying, "Sir, everyone has arrived, I think I can plan how to use troops."

"Well, although Sun Ce is a child, he is brave and brave, and he really needs to plan."

Zhao Yun asked his subordinates to guide the soldiers of the Second Corps to set up camp, and then took Lin Hai, Guan Hai and others to his tent to discuss military affairs.

"Look, this is the sand table in Shouchun's radius of three hundred miles."

Looking at the exquisite large sand table in front of him, Lin Hai and Guan Hai couldn't help but admire him.

The blue rivers, green forests, gray mountains and yellow cities present the mountains and rivers around the entire Huaihe River basin to everyone's eyes.

"Yuanlong, let's introduce the terrain and Yangzhou military situation."

Following Duan Ying's words, Chen Deng walked up to respond.

At this time, Chen Deng was appointed as Zhao Yun's staff officer and Duan Ying's deputy.

Lin Hai looked at Chen Deng and frowned slightly.

I saw Chen Deng's face was haggard and thin, and he was obviously sick.

"Staff Officer Chen, are you in good health?"

Chen Deng Xieguo said, "It's okay, but since the beginning of winter last year, I have not had much appetite yet."

"Yuanlong has less exercise, so the general asked you to enter the military camp when he learned about it. If you exercise more, you will naturally want to eat.

By the way, now spring is here and the fish is starting to grow flesh. Yuanlong, your favorite fish sashimi can be eaten again."

"Thank you, Mr. Deng is really hungry after saying this."

After joking, Chen Deng began to introduce the military situation in Shouchun and Yangzhou.

"Since last autumn, Sun Ce sent troops to encircle and suppress Shanyue, and the number of military and civilians in Shanyue was 100,000, and most of the wealthy families in Yangzhou had surrendered.

Now Sun Ce recruits soldiers day and night, accumulates food and grass, and builds warships and weapons. The information he received from Yangzhou shows that his command of armor and soldiers is less than 100,000, and his ships are less than 100,000, but his cavalry is slightly weak, less than 5,000."

Chen Deng said, pointing to the cities on the sand table and said, "The soldiers and horses in Yangzhou are mainly concentrated everywhere, one place is Shouchun, the main general Cheng Pu, with about 20,000 soldiers;

One is Danyang, along the river line of Wujun, Sun Ce personally took charge of it, and the soldiers were about 20,000;

One place is Penghu, with Li Shu as the chief general, with about 10,000 soldiers.

The last place with the most troops is Chaohu, with Zhou Yu as the main general, with about 50,000 soldiers.

The rest of the troops were scattered everywhere.”

"Chaohu?"

Lin Hai and others walked forward and looked at the blue sand representing Chaohu Lake on the sand table.

"The Yangtze River is connected to Chaohu Lake and Shouchun is connected to the north. Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to lead the main force here to prevent our army from moving south."

"Well, but Chaohu should not be able to go directly to Shouchun, right?" Lin Hai asked.

"No, it was difficult to form a boat, but after Zhou Yu arrived in Chaohu, he dug out the purified water and applied water, and repaired the city at Hefei where the two waters intersected."

"Tsk, to put it this way, as long as we attack Shouchun, Zhou Yu can lead his army to kill him for one or two days at most."

“That’s exactly that.”

Lin Hai immediately felt that this battle was not that easy to fight.

"But isn't our purpose to attract Yangzhou troops and provide cover for the generals on the center line?"

Duan Ying saw Lin Hai and others frowning and said with a smile.

Everyone immediately realized, yes, we are not here to attack Yangzhou, we are here to attract hatred. It is best for you, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu to come to Shouchun. When the general takes Jingzhou, go down the river and cut off your retreat. The more you come, the faster you die.

Once you figure this out, everyone will be under pressure.

"Tell me about Shouchun."

When Chen Deng heard Duan Ying say this, he began to introduce the terrain around Shouchun.

"The terrain of Shouchun is excellent. When the Huai River flows here, it becomes a few words because of Bagong Mountain, and then a branch of the stream of Feishui is divided into.

Most of Shouchun City is surrounded by Huai River and Fei River, and with Bagong Mountain as a barrier, it can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Now Cheng Pu sent his son Cheng Zi to build a camp on Bagong Mountain, which is a juncture with Shouchun."

"How many soldiers are there on Bagong Mountain?"

"About three or five thousand people."

Duan Ying and others had no problem, and then said, "You should have understood the situation."

If our army wants to attract Yangzhou troops to the north, we must be besieged Shouchun and let Sun Quan ask his brother to be in trouble.

To siege Shouchun, you must first go to Bagong Mountain!

Although the Fourth Legion is not here, I will explain the battle tactics to you first.

In this battle, our army focused on one being fast and the other being fierce. We wanted to use thunder to scare Sun Quan and Cheng Pu completely, so that they and even Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, who were behind them, all judged that our Hebei army would take Yangzhou first and then attack Jingzhou, forming a strategic misjudgment.

Therefore, General Zhang's Fourth Legion and everyone here will launch an attack on Jiujiang County at the same time.

General Zhang personally led the Ninth Army and General Yan's 13th Army out of Runan, crossed the Huai River, attacked Yangquan and other counties in Lujiang, and then advanced eastward.

As for General Le, you have to lead the 21st army to cross the Huai River, attack Tushan, Dangtu and other places, and then advance westward to form a siege against Shouchun.

General Guan, you will continue to go south to Guangling County. At that time, naval troops will appear on the sea. You should make great efforts and create more flags to create a momentum to cross the Yangtze River and reach Wu County, so that Sun Ce would not dare to move lightly.

General Zhao and General Lin followed General Le, marched, while General Han guarded our army's retreat.

Do you have any questions?"

After listening to Duan Ying's deployment, everyone felt it was right.

Duan Ying gently shook the folding fan and said, "On the fourth day of the fourth month, it is the Cold Food Festival. I have already calculated my fortune. That day is the military. We are the first battle in this battle. Do you still remember that sentence?"

"Use me in the first battle! I will win!" Zhao Yun and others shouted in unison.
Chapter completed!
