Chapter 710 Jia Xu VS Zhuge Liang
While Ouyang Shuo was having a heart-to-heart talk with the siege lion, Zheng He suddenly walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Siege Lion!"
After Zheng He met, he came to Ouyang Shuo, bent down and lowered his head, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just got information when I interrogated the prisoners of war. Huang Gai's army should have arrived at Chibi three days ago. It was the suggestion of the siege lion lord to join Liu Bei's army, which delayed a few days."
Zheng He did not continue to say the following words.
Obviously, the battle situation is very critical in the past few days of delay in siege lions.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at the siege lion opposite and nodded.
Zheng He knew the tactfulness and then stepped down.
The siege lion may also realize that what he did was probably found out.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "I won't say much, you have helped me a lot, and I will give you a fortune. This time, the captive Huang Gai army and Guan Yu army will be handed back to you. You can take this navy back to Dongting Lake and continue to capture Wuling County."
"Ah? Thank you brother!" The siege lion was a little excited.
In the battle map, the lord can capture the indigenous army of the hostile camp. However, it is difficult to control them. After all, time is limited and people's hearts are difficult to determine.
Even if these surrendered troops can go to the battlefield, Ouyang Shuo dare not use it. If they suddenly turn against each other on the battlefield, the fun would be great.
On the contrary, the lords belonging to the same camp are much easier to control. Therefore, handing over this surrendered army to the siege lion is equivalent to handing over to the siege lion a ready-made strong army.
In addition, there is another point, that is, the battle side missions.
In the Sun-Liu camp, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Liu Bei's three armies all had a large side mission. The Huang Gai army's side mission was to capture Wuling County.
Therefore, if the siege lion can complete the unfinished tasks of Huang Gai, it will not only harvest a large amount of battle contributions in the process of seizing Wuling County, but also obtain generous mission rewards.
In this case, how could the siege lion not be excited? In this battle, the siege lion was a blessing in disguise. He is very glad now, glad that he made the right choice.
"In addition to the army, I will also allocate some of the warships left by Xiongba, Zhanlang and others. Including the artillery on the warships, you can use them." Ouyang Shuo added with a smile.
"Thank you, brother!"
The siege lion has no idea what to say.
Ouyang Shuo stood up with a smile and patted the siege lion on the shoulder, "What do you thank you? We are allies!"
"Yes!" The siege lion nodded vigorously, feeling a lot.
"Go and get ready to set off immediately. Remember, you must enter Wuling County before Liu Bei's army passed through Dongting Lake. Don't encounter it on the road, that would be embarrassing." Ouyang Shuo reminded him.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm responsible."
"That's good!" Ouyang Shuo also believed that the siege lion club would handle it well.
Before the siege lion left, he wanted to speak but stopped. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Brother, Xunlong is just a moment of confusion and has no other thoughts."
Ouyang Shuo's eyes narrowed, and it seemed that the friendship between siege lions and searching for dragons to point a hole was quite good.
"Don't worry, I will handle it." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly.
"good!"
The siege lion smiled a little reluctantly, sighed in his heart, and turned around and left.
Looking at the siege lion leaving, Ouyang Shuo sighed, his eyes were complicated. Through some means, Ouyang Shuo finally temporarily comforted the siege lion.
"Looking for dragons? Don't let me down!" A glimmer flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
The huge reception room was filled with murderous intent in an instant.
***************
In the afternoon of the same day, the siege lion led his troops to leave.
Walking with the army was also a squadron fighting ship carrying Guan Yu's head.
The lord players in Huanggai's camp, except for the siege lion, have long been killed and completely withdrawn from the battle. Therefore, the details about the siege lion in Chibi are no longer known.
Farewell to the siege lion, Ouyang Shuo summoned Zheng He and Jia Xu again to the war room to discuss matters. To defeat Huang Gai's army, the next step is to consider how to deal with Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei's headquarters had about 20,000 troops, plus the 50,000 Yi Ren Army, and the total strength reached 70,000. Zhuge Liang made plans in the group, how could Ouyang Shuo really despise it?
In addition, the strategic intention of occupying Chibi must be arranged one by one. In view of this, Zhao Sihu, the commander of the First Division of the City Guard Corps, was able to participate in the military convention.
In the war room.
According to the rules, Zheng He first reported the military situation: "Your Highness, the last general has found out that the food and supplies transported to Yunmeng Daze, the transfer station is located in Wulin, and is currently controlled by our army."
"Okay!" Ouyang Shuo was very satisfied with Zheng He's efficiency.
"In the Wulin granary, a large amount of food and grass supplies were seized. At the same time, according to the information obtained by the interrogation of the grain and grass officer, just three days ago, a batch of food and grass was urgently transported to Yunmeng Daze." Zheng He continued, "What's unusual is that they had already sent a batch of food and grass five days ago."
"According to normal arrangements, food and grass should be transported once every five days. In other words, the latest batch of food and grass was urgently requested by the front-line army," Zheng He added.
"Sir, what do you think?" Ouyang Shuo consulted Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was obviously also known, saying: "If I expected it was right, Jiangling might be a war. It is precisely because of this that the front-line army demanded the urgent issuance of food and grass in case of emergency needs."
"Sir, do you think Zhou Yu can break through Jiangling City?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"It's hard to say!" Jia Xu frowned.
As mentioned earlier, this battle was entirely dominated by the Ingenious Legion. Jia Xu knew nothing about what actions Di Chen and the others would do.
After all, no matter how powerful a strategist is, it will be useless if he doesn't understand the enemy.
"However, judging from the current situation, Zhou Yu's army may have some trump card. Otherwise, they would not ask for urgent issuance of food and grass, and they would actively attack Jiangling with confidence." Jia Xu said his judgment.
The Zhou Yu that Jia Xu knew was definitely not a reckless person.
Sometimes, the overall view of the strategist is very important. Jia Xu is like this. From some clues, he vaguely felt that the Jiangling War would cause some turmoil.
In fact, Ouyang Shuo also felt a little uneasy. Through the thousands of miles of clouds, Ouyang Shuo felt that a huge cloud of blood was condensed above Jiangling City.
Endless murderous aura filled it.
This is definitely not a good sign. Jiangling City is probably going to be covered with bones.
"We are out of reach for the Battle of Jiangling, and we don't care about it for the time being." Ouyang Shuo calmed down and continued: "What we can do is to cut off the food and supplies of Zhou Yu's army as planned."
"Don't worry, the last general has been arranged."
Zheng He took over the conversation and said, "Justice was about to report to the Lord that the navy who escaped from Chibi was killed by the navy camp sent a few days ago. The last general had already sent an order to ask the navy camp to patrol the Yangtze River waters downstream of Chibi, defeating all warships that transported food and supplies, and cutting off the enemy's food and grass."
"It's done well." Ouyang Shuo nodded. Zheng He became more and more decisive in killing and decisive. Ouyang Shuo no longer had to worry about the general military affairs in the army.
"Zhao Sihu!" Ouyang Shuo pointed at the general.
"The last one will be here!"
Zhao Sihu stood up and saluted like a conditioned reflex, looking excited.
Along the way, the most aggrieved fear was the soldiers of the City Guard Corps. Seeing that they were winning battles, they could not use any strength as landslides.
It's so frustrating!
The soldiers were already screaming, yelling to participate in the war.
Now it seems that the opportunity has finally come!
"You arrange a cavalry brigade and set off immediately and pursue the enemy's grain transport route along the Yunmeng Daze. Be sure to intercept the previous batch of grain transport teams. If the enemy's front line is short of food, we must make them unable to receive even a grain of food." Ouyang Shuo issued a military order.
"Don't worry, please ensure that you complete the task!" Zhao Sihu patted his chest and promised.
The current city guard army has long been completely renewed and has extraordinary combat power. Even the mounts are all Mongolian war horses. It is not easy to catch up with the slow grain transport team.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, showing that he believed in the strength of the City Guard Corps. This is all he can do for the Jiangling battlefield.
...
"Will you have a good idea to deal with Liu Bei's army?" After dealing with the matter of food and grass, Ouyang Shuo finally focused on the upcoming battle.
Everyone here, Jia Xu must know about Liu Bei's group.
Jia Xu was not humble and nodded and said, "Liu Bei's army exceeds 70,000. After occupying Changsha County, its strength will probably increase again. If Liu Bei's army comes out in full swing, it will never be less than 80,000."
After pausing, Jia Xu continued: "Based on my understanding of Liu Bei, when I see Guan Yu's head, it is almost certain that Liu Bei will fight with all his might to avenge Guan Yu."
Thinking of the expeditionary army in Shanhai City this time, only 40,000, only half of the enemy's army, the expressions of the extremely generals here no longer relaxed and seemed solemn.
"Liu Bei's army is both water and land, and is mainly an army. There are both top generals and top strategists in the army, so they will never act impulsively. It can be concluded that they will never rashly enter the Red Cliff and then ambush us." Jia Xu continued to analyze, "The biggest possibility is to advance water and land together, and the main force launches a fierce attack from land."
"You mean, they will attack Chibi?" Zheng He asked.
"There are both possible Red Cliffs and Wulin. Zhuge Liang likes to use tricks and is not easy to speculate. The only thing that can be concluded is that before arriving at Red Cliffs, he should transport the army and supplies through warships, then log in at a suitable location, and then raid for a long distance, and directly hit the key points of our army." Jia Xu saw it very thoroughly.
This battle can actually be seen as a confrontation between Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, these two top strategists. Whoever can do better will have the advantage.
Chapter completed!
