This time, the leading generals of the Changshan Army were Zang Ba and Gao Shun. They also followed Liu Chen's command and divided their troops from Bingzhou to attack Yuan Shu southward.

They came with an army of one hundred thousand and surrounded Nanyang City, but did not attack.

Yuan Shu now has an army of more than 100,000 and close to 200,000. This is his final foundation and wealth after recruiting the powerful families of Yuzhou.

In terms of military strength, Changshan's army was not as good as Yuan Shu's. pity.

Facing the world-shaking Changshan Army, which was one against five, these more than 200,000 troops were simply vulnerable!

In the Battle of Guangling, even a top general like Zhou Yu was defeated miserably by an army of 200,000 people under the protection of Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and other generals!

What's more, Yuan Shu's army is now giving up on itself?

In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shu's generals Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and other generals were captured by the Changshan Army, but they finally surrendered to the Changshan Army.

However, Yuan Shu still had many powerful generals and advisers, such as generals Liu Xun, Zhang Xun, Li Feng, etc., and advisers Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Yuan Huan, etc. They are all excellent talents. pity.

Compared with Jiangdong Army's top advisers such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and first-class generals such as Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Cheng Pu, Yuan Shu is still a little underwhelming!

Jiangdong's army has been defeated, what ability do they have to stop them?!

After the Changshan Army besieged the city, even with generals such as Liu Xun and counselors such as Yan Xiang commanding and dispatching, there was still panic and chaos inside.

If the non-mountain army was besieged and refused to attack, Nanyang City would have already caused civil strife and fled, collapsing and disintegrating!

What's missing now is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Three days in a row.

There was no movement from Changshan's army. They just surrounded Nanyang City and did not choose to attack.

This unknown fear of waiting for death makes people's hearts hang in the air and find it difficult to let go. Yuan Shu's side had no choice but to leave the city and take the initiative to attack.

But whenever Nanyang City sent troops to resist or make a surprise attack, the Changshan Army would tentatively counterattack and push them back, showing their crushing strength!

When Nanyang City sent troops to ask for help, Changshan Army did not stop them at all and just let them go.

This also made Jingzhou Liu Biao and others finally know the situation of Nanyang City, and the entire Jingyang and Yangzhous were in an uproar and shocked!

Jiangxia.

It was only five days later that Liu Bei finally got the news from Nanyang City, which made his expression change drastically!

Yuan Shu is his sworn ally, and now that he has sent a letter asking for help, Liu Bei should send troops to rescue him.

Wouldn't it be chilling to sit back and watch?!

But facing the world-famous Chang Shan Army, Liu Bei had no confidence at all. Wouldn't that be tantamount to death?!

And the most important thing is that Changshan's army surrounded and refused to attack, which obviously had a conspiracy, and Liu Bei did not dare to take risks.

Although Liu Bei did not understand Chang Shan's army's strategy, he had two top advisers beside him - military counselor Xu Shu and Jiangdong Lu Su

"The danger of this plan is that it is a real attack on the heart! Xu

Shu was amazed and said with some sigh:"I don't know who made this plan. It is simply a stroke of genius!""

Lu Su was even more shocked!

"I originally thought that the Changshan Army would not divide its forces to attack and open another battlefield, but now I still take it for granted! Lu

Su sighed. He just said that after the battle between Changshan Army and Jiangdong Army, another battlefield would not be opened to reassure Liu Bei who was stationed in Jiangxia.

However, less than a month later, he was completely defeated by Changshan Army's attack. Shame on you

"This plan is really dangerous, and we did not expect it!"Xu Shu agreed with Lu Su's statement.

However, the exchange between the two made Liu Guan, Zhang and others around them look confused and confused!

Because they couldn't understand at all!

"Military Advisor, Zijing, what are you talking about? Liu Bei asked eagerly:"Changshan's troops surrounded Nanyang but did not attack. Is there any other conspiracy?" Xu

Shu sighed and explained:

"My lord, Changshan's army besieged Nanyang but did not attack. They deliberately let the news get out, just to let the world know about Yuan Shu's situation and to let Yuan Shu's allies send troops to help!

But if they send out troops, Changshan's army will definitely divide their troops into ambush and defeat them one by one!

If we do not send troops and choose to wait and see, it will definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers in Jingyang and Yangzhou, and cause cracks in the newly born alliance, which is likely to be shattered in the future!

This is a deliberate strategy, the purpose is to disintegrate the alliance between Jing and Yang states and attack Yuan Shu's side at the same time, killing two birds with one stone and killing two birds with one stone!"

Xu Shu's words made Liu Guan, Zhang and others finally understand!

Liu Bei's expression changed drastically!

When Liu Biao rode to Jingzhou alone to take office, Yuan Shu secretly made a stumbling block and almost made it difficult for Liu Biao to take office.

This kind of personal hatred, coupled with Yuan Shu's The power of the family is the main reason why Liu Biao does not want Yuan Shu to enter Xiangyang.

Now that Yuan Shu is trapped, Liu Biao will naturally not take action.

However, he, Liu Bei, needs to take action!

It is known to the whole world that after he was defeated and fled in the Battle of Guandu, he Liu Bei and Yuan Shu swore an alliance.

If he just sits back and watches Yuan Shu be surrounded and does nothing, Liu Bei's character will collapse! If a person has no faith and does not stand, he, Liu Bei, will not be able to continue to gain a foothold in the world!

"Now that Brother Gu is in danger, I must send troops to help!"Liu Bei said righteously, but he felt helpless in his heart.

"Lord, you must not do this! Xu Shu dissuaded him and said,"This plan is a conspiracy. If we go there, we will definitely face an ambush from Chang Shan's army!""

"So what if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire? Brother Qiu and I swore an alliance. Now that we are in danger, how can I ignore him because I am greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Liu Bei said righteously.

This impassioned loyalty shocked Lu Su!

"Xuande is indeed benevolent and righteous, but you must not send troops.

Lu Su consoled him and said,"Chang Shanjun's plan is actually killing three birds with one stone!"

Everyone knows the alliance between Xuande and Yuan Shu, and with Xuande's benevolence and righteousness, he will definitely go to help. But after Xuande left, Jiangxia was not safe! Xu

Shu was shocked, and then he was very shocked:"Brother Zijing sees the long term, but I only saw two strategies, but I didn't expect to kill three birds with one stone!""

The conversation between the two shocked Liu Bei even more!

Killing three birds with one stone!

Oh my God!

This is the action of some wise and demonic counselor in the Changshan Army?! It's really too terrifying and powerful!

It's just that The soldiers besieged Nanyang City, but they did not attack, and secretly they had three plans!

Liu Bei suddenly regretted his benevolence and righteousness.

But now it is difficult to get off the tiger.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shi Ci, Guan Hai and other generals, all of them are not because of him Only his benevolence and righteousness can serve him? This is his foundation, and he must not lose it!

"Don't try to persuade me any more, I've decided to go!"

Liu Bei's heart was bleeding, but he said firmly:"Brother Gu and I swore at the beginning that we would share blessings and share hardships. I, Liu Bei, could not do anything treacherous!"

Liu Bei's righteous words greatly touched Guan Zhang and other generals!

"Brother! Through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will fight with you!"Guan Yu said firmly.

Zhang Fei also nodded firmly and said:"Me too! Fighting through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will never give up!"

Tai Shi Ci, Guan Hai and other generals also echoed!

At this moment, Lu Su was really impressed. His evaluation of Liu Bei was once again high!

Lu Su persuaded him in a coherent manner:"Xuan De, if You have decided to leave, and I am no longer forcing you to stay.

However, it has been many days since I sent the letter to Gong Jin. I believe he will arrive today. Why not wait for Gong Jin to arrive and let him make some suggestions?

Confucius said that when three people are walking together, there must be a teacher like me. When we gather together and brainstorm, maybe we will have another insight?"

Xu Shu also echoed the advice.

Liu Bei nodded and said,"Prepare your troops and wait for another three days. If the general governor fails, prepare and lead the army north to rescue Nanyang City!"

Lu Su nodded and said no more, but his evaluation of Liu Bei in his heart has risen to the level of a 'hero'!"

……

Xuzhou went to Pi State.

Liu Chen received an urgent report from Xun You, who was now in charge of Sili.

The above content is what Xun You told Liu Chen about his plan to have Zang Ba and Gao Shun surround Nanyang City without attacking.

If the enemy troops rush to help, they will be ambushed and annihilated!

If the enemy looks on coldly and the Jing-Yang alliance breaks down, this is a heart attack!

If Liu Bei rushes to help and Jiangxia mobilizes its troops, they can take advantage of this and advance towards Jingzhou!

When Liu Chen saw this plan of killing three birds with one stone, he couldn't help but admire it!

Xun You is worthy of being the mastermind of the original historical Cao Cao!

Even if he is sitting in charge of Sili, he can still strategize and win a thousand-mile victory!

Especially Xun You’s evaluation of Liu Bei——

"Liu Bei has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, but in fact he is a true hypocrite, good at disguising himself.

When Luoyang pretended to be a member of the Han clan, you were still a little careless. Jia Wenhe also underestimated Liu Bei.

Although he is a hypocrite, if he pretends to be so good that he even deceives himself, then he is a 'true gentleman'. This kind of forbearance is the true hero of the world!

No less a hero than Cao Cao!

Based on the sworn alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, and his reputation for benevolence and righteousness,He will definitely lead troops to rush for reinforcements, and Jiangxia will definitely have a shortage of troops.

The Lord can let General Zhao attack strongly, and he will definitely be able to easily conquer Jiangxia!"

Liu Chen turned to the second page and continued browsing.

"To seize the land north of the Yangtze River in Jiangxia, the lord can ask General Zhao to cross the Han River, attack Jiangling and other counties in the southern county of Jingzhou, and go north to suppress Xiangyang.

At the same time, generals Zhang Zha and Gao Lan from Yuzhou can be mobilized to suppress Nanyang City. He joined forces with General Zang Ba and General Gao Shun and pushed Yuan Shu's army across Nanyang.

If Liu Bei leads his army to rush for reinforcements, and his head will be bruised and bloody, these heroes must be killed without leaving any further trouble.

But based on the analysis of Liu Bei by his subordinates, he will definitely plan to escape. The difference between a hypocrite and a true gentleman is that the former puts interests first, while the latter sacrifices his life for justice.

Liu Bei would not die in vain.

But killing Liu Bei was just a matter of convenience. After generals Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, Zang Ba and Gao Shun pushed Yuan Shu's army across the board, they could go directly south, attack Fancheng, and then threaten Xiangyang.

With the armies of General Zhang Jia, Gao Lan, Zang Ba and Gao Shun, and the army of General Zhao Yun, with the two armies attacking from the south and the north, Xiangyang will definitely be defeated!

Xiangyang is located at the southern end of the Nanyang Basin, adjacent to Tongbai Mountain to the east and Jingshan Mountain to the west. It is definitely the only way to go south to the Jianghan Plain.

We only need to cross the Han River and pass through Xiangyang. By then, the hinterland of the Jianghan Plain will be a vast plain for us, which can serve as a springboard for the future attack on Yizhou.

At the same time, it shocked the soldiers of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou!

This is You's little plan. I hope the Lord and his colleagues will have a good time and give you some advice!"

……

After reading Xun You's letter, Liu Chen sighed again. He had underestimated Xun You just now!

This is not a plan that kills three birds with one stone. This is a real plan that kills six birds with one stone!

In addition to the previous 1 to lure the enemy, ambush and kill them. 2 The enemy watched with cold eyes and tried to attack his heart. 3. Taking advantage of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, he transferred Jiangxia away from Jiangxia and sought to capture Jiangxia. Wait for three counts.

There are also 4 people who take the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, the hero.

5 After Zhao Yun captured Jiangxia, he and Zhang Jha allied forces to plot to capture Xiangyang and capture all the counties north of the Yangtze River in Jing.

6 is a springboard to attack Yizhou in the future and shock the three states at the same time.

Kill six birds with one stone!

Just one soldier surrounded Nanyang City without attacking, but secretly laid six strategies!

This was because Liu Chen directly ordered the transfer under Guo Jia's plan. Xun You came up with such a plan to kill six birds with one stone without realizing it!

A single move affects the whole body!

Liu Chen sighed again, no wonder he was called the 'mastermind', Xun You was indeed a man of extraordinary intelligence and well-deserved reputation!

Fortunately, in this life, Xun You was his adviser and loyal to him.

If they had not recruited Xun You and were hostile to each other, there might have been a protracted and difficult protracted war!

After Liu Chen read it, he passed Xun You's letter on to Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other advisers and generals for viewing.

After they finished reading, they nodded in admiration. They explained Xun You's plan in detail and were full of praise and admiration!

"Gongda strategizes and wins thousands of miles!"Guo Jia sighed.

Cheng Yu also nodded:"If Xiangyang is captured, there will be no alliance between Jingyang and Yangzhou. You must know that Liu Biao is in Xiangyang!"

"However, the Gongda army is in danger. We have just fought with the Jiangdong Army and opened the Jingzhou battlefield. I wonder if Wenruo's logistical support can be guaranteed!"Guo Jia said.

In this regard, Liu Chen is very confident in Xun Yu!

Wang Zuo's talents are not inferior to Xiao He's, which is his evaluation of Xun Yu!

What's more, under Liu Chen's governance, Jizhou has already undergone earth-shaking changes in this life Changes.

The bumper harvest of sweet potatoes after planting in the six states alone was enough to ensure the food and grass problems for Changshan's army to attack southward.

It can be said that Liu Chen's development in Changshan, Jizhou, paid tribute to the basic guarantee for his current expeditions in the north and south!

If Liu Chen had started wars everywhere and wasted development, he would definitely not be as relaxed and comfortable as he is now.

With his mind racing, Liu Chen ordered:"Gongda's plan is very clever. Two days later, the staff will come from Xiapi Moving to Lujiang, I will personally supervise the battle on the front line!"

"General/subordinates obey your orders!"
