"My lord, there seems to be no trace of battle outside the city. I wonder how my lord took the city?" Jushou asked curiously.

Liu Bei and the generals behind him also looked over curiously.

"Without it, this battle is just as I expected. The Yuan family has been defeated. In addition, the king's troops are pressing down on the border. Chen Wen and Zhou Xin both feel that there is no chance of winning. How can they die in vain? The Yuan family is rebellious and loyal to the Yuan family, even if they fight to the death.

Nor will he gain the reputation of dying generously, which is actually doing a lot of harm and no good at all." Liu Qing explained.

"My lord is worried too much, it's absolutely true!" Guo Jia agreed.

"Then what's next, Changsha?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

"It is up to me to deal with the Sun family on my own. Now that Yangzhou has been settled, many counties and villages do not even know that Yangzhou has changed. Xuande, you and Uncle Ju will stay in Yangzhou to help Zhengli smoothen the governance of Yangzhou.

, you two will return to your respective state capitals."

"Here!"

Liu Bei and Ju taught the same way.

"In the past few years, due to the turmoil in the Central Plains, many talents have taken refuge in Jiangdong. There are also many talents in Yangzhou. You should discover them and recommend them to me. I do not look at people's background or disciples, but only for their true talents and practical learning!"

, Liu Qing asked again, "Where is Gan Ning?"

Gan Ning, who was listening to Liu Qing's words in the back, grinned and came to Liu Qing with two "ding bells".

"Lord, this matter cannot be delayed. We should prepare for war as soon as possible. If King Bohai only wants to wipe out the remnants of the Yuan family, we welcome it. If it is to capture the city and territory, then we, the people of Jingzhou, will never agree!" Cai Mao said.

Sun Ce looked at the crowd and said: "Uncle Wu, Ancheng is the gate city of the two states, so you will lead the troops there. As for Liling, Han Dang will lead the army there, and Zhu Zhi will lead the army to Xiangxiang. I don't know.

Defense.”

"In this world, except King Bohai, no one has dared to be so courageous. Look at now, when King Bohai first arrived in Yangzhou, Zhou Xin and others sincerely surrendered, pacifying a state without even fighting. Who can achieve such a feat?

?”

"It seems that this guide is quite good!" Liu Qing said with a smile, "When we reach the Xiangshui River, let the old man go back and send someone to carry a few more bags of corn to send him back."

"Send an order to Gao Lan and order his infantry to slow down and serve as Jiang Qi's backup."

Three days later, Liu Qing joined Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai and Tai Shici who were stationed in Nanchang, and ordered Zhou Tai to go down the Gan River and join Gan Ning on the river, while Liu Qing's land troops followed the Xingan-Yichun line.

Entering Liling County in Changsha County.

Kuai Liang said calmly: "My lord, the pastor of Jingzhou was personally appointed by the late emperor, and he is a minister of the Han Dynasty. What's more, my lord is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I don't expect King Bohai to do anything."

After thinking about it, Cheng Pu decided to frustrate Sun Ce's spirit again, so he said: "My lord, in the previous battle in Yuzhang, only a few generals under the command of the King of Bohai blocked the lord, but now the King of Bohai led ten soldiers.

Wan, definitely not comparable to last time.”

Several people in the hall were still speaking, discussing, and sometimes quarreling. Liu Biao knew that although resourcefulness was important, it was a bit ridiculous in the face of absolute strength.

When Sun Ce heard this, he asked, "How about we have a showdown in Ancheng?"

Liu Biao had known that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. They all heard that King Bohai was blessed with a son. Unexpectedly, King Bohai launched a large-scale battle just after the boy was one month old.

Liu Biao sneered in his heart after hearing this. He was really surprised. He knew better than anyone else that King Bohai wanted to wipe out the remaining evil and eliminate the powerful. Therefore, Liu Biao did not listen to all Cai Mao's words.

"Lord, the most urgent task is to make arrangements first. Liling Ancheng and other places can be used as key defensive areas." Cheng Pu added.

Liu Biao glanced at Kuai Yue in surprise.

If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If you want to vigorously develop the economy and infrastructure, it is necessary.

In Xiangyang, in the Prefectural Mufu, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were all present.

Grade: Bingbingqingshi

All the generals under Sun Ce also looked at each other in confusion.

My conscience told me to choose the second option.

"What Uncle Cheng said is true. Avoid when you need to, and fight when you need to fight. Listening to Uncle Cheng's words, I can't help but feel more confident!" Sun Cexiao said with a smile.

"Lord, Li Zhengyan said, if we go another ten miles or so, we will see the Xiang River in front of us. Going north along the Xiang River, we will reach Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County."

Although Kuai Yue had a good brain, it was a pity that he did not know how to fight.

The guide is a local Li Zheng. He has heard of the name of Bohai King, so he is willing to lead the way.

[Chasing meritorious service] Gan Ning was eager to make meritorious deeds and was not afraid of death in battle. There was no thoroughness to speak of.

With a hundred thousand men in armor and tens of thousands of subordinates, this kind of force would be difficult for anyone to resist unless called upon by the imperial court.

Cheng Pu knew clearly that with the power of the Bohai King's army, the Sun family's power was not enough to compete. Even Chen Wen raised a state, if not a state, with the power of half a state. As a result, before the Bohai King's army arrived, his prefect

He was tied up and given to King Bohai.

what to do?

Sun Ce was at his wits' end, and those who were even more anxious at this time were Liu Biao and others in Jingzhou.

After Cai Mao finished speaking, Kuai Yue took over: "Your Majesty, compared with the current strength of the two armies, it is impossible to compete with them. The most urgent task now is to call on all localities to step up the preparation of food, recruit troops, and build weapons. With our millions in Jingzhou,

Are the people still afraid of a mere 100,000 troops?"

As the day approaches, the distance between Bohai King and Changsha gradually increases. Approaching Changsha is actually approaching Jingzhou. As long as Bohai King succeeds, Changsha will basically be the second Nanyang.

I have never faced such an opponent, so I can't know how powerful he is just by relying on imagination.

Loyalty:70%

Income: Force +0.94, the current force has reached the extreme value (100/100), and no income bonus can be obtained.

After thinking about it, Liu Biao seemed to have reached a conclusion in his mind.

This was also the first time Liu Qing saw Gan Ning. He immediately lifted him up seriously and said with a smile: "What a young man. Duke Ju is staying in Yangzhou this time. How about you join me in the westward expedition to Changsha!"

Congratulations to the lord for conquering the general [Gan Ning]

The first is to dominate Jingzhou, which means that he has greater power and autonomy. As for the problem of powerful people, he believes that he will solve it one day.

[Water War] When commanding the navy, command +5.

Let's talk about mountain warfare again. In my impression, Danyang soldiers are very good at mountain warfare, and Sun's army should have recruited many local soldiers who are good at mountain warfare.

Such a benevolent king, if he wholeheartedly surrenders to him, I am afraid his status in his heart will not be lower than that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Although he did not personally participate in the battle, he heard too many military reports. In the past, when it came to the news of King Bohai's victory, the number of soldiers and horses was almost thousands. Thousands of soldiers and horses could defeat Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops. But now,

One hundred thousand from King Bohai.

Ambition tells myself to choose the first option.

Stamina:88

Force:94

Command:87

Intelligence:76

Politics:18

Charisma:55

Characteristics: [Jinfan Bailing] Gan Ning is good at building a naval force that is good at long-distance attacks.

Among the few people who were demoted by the Yuan family, Yan Liang, Wen, Chou and Ji Ling were all combat-oriented. Only Jiang Qiwen was stable and outstanding in commanding troops. It was safest for him to look after the baggage.

Liu Qing then set out the next day to join the army in Yuzhang and continue the campaign.

——

The news that Zhou Xin surrendered and Chen Wen was executed soon spread like wildfire.

"The King of Bohai's army is invading. What good strategies do you have?" After Sun Ce asked, he immediately looked at Cheng Pu at the front, "Uncle Cheng, you speak first."

"Lord, the guide said that our army's direction is a little off. Liling County should be about ten miles to the south." Zhang Liao ran back on horseback and reported.

Cai Hao and Zhang Yun even smiled.

Second, listen to the advice of King Bohai and use the power of King Bohai to quickly reoccupy Jingzhou. The original occupation was to help the powerful to occupy it, but now, on the contrary, it is necessary to eliminate the powerful from various places.

[Awesome] When Gan Ning fought with the army, the morale of the soldiers was not easy to decline, and their fighting spirit was always high.

When Liu Biao heard this, he realized that these words were really a starting point for himself and Jingzhou, rather than Kuai Yue's active preparation for war.

Then back to the original question——

Cheng Pu thought for a moment, and although King Bohai was too powerful to compete, he still said to Sun Ce: "My lord, although King Bohai's army is powerful, its combat power will definitely be damaged if it has to travel far. There are many mountainous and strange roads in Changsha area.

As long as our troops are properly deployed and have extra surprise troops, we will definitely be able to stop him from coming back."

One is a minister of the imperial court, and the other is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. They both followed the King of Bohai and made meritorious deeds, gradually becoming officials in the feudal territory.

"Back to my lord, the mountains are indeed convenient for raids. However, with the strength of our army, which is connected from front to back for more than ten miles, it is almost impossible to harass our formation. The only thing we have to be wary of is for them to let go of the army and attack behind them.

Food and grass." Guo Jiadao.

[Bold] When Gan Ning is trapped in a tight siege, his own troops will not fall into chaos.

"Fengxiao, this place is very mountainous. Do you have any strategy for mountain warfare?" Liu Qing asked.

"This matter really has to be guarded against. I heard that Sun Jian's army attaches great importance to food and grass, and he will naturally make decisions about the enemy's food and grass." Liu Qing thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Send an order to Jiang Qi, ordering his headquarters to stop advancing and wait here for the baggage.
