Following the military information learned from the residence of Samoko, the barbarian king of Wuxi.

Zhao Tong knew that the situation in Jingzhou was urgent!

Therefore, he immediately led his troops down the mountain quickly.

Before leaving, he specially borrowed unique clothes from the barbarians and ordered the entire army to put on them. They were divided into dozens of tribes and each dispersed along Lingling County.

Along the way, even Ma Su, who had always been full of scheming, was a little suspicious at this time, so he slowly raised his hands and asked:

"General, you are now ordering all the soldiers in the army to change into barbarian clothes and disperse the troops to march and gather in Lingling. What is the meaning of this move?"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Tong's face did not diminish, and he waved his hand and said: "According to the military information disclosed by Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke, the Wu army has been led by Lu Meng and the main force to raid Changsha County."

"Changsha County is the head of the counties in Jingnan. The Xiang River is also connected to the Yangtze River and is the main water system in the areas in Jingnan. It runs through the entire territory of Changsha and the other tributaries converge into the Xiang River."

"Brother Ji Chang, you are from Jingxiang, and you are probably very familiar with the human geography of Jingzhou. If Changsha is lost, Nanjun will be completely cut off from the land of Jingnan."

In one word.

After pondering for a moment, he changed the subject and continued: "But fortunately, General Guan responded quickly and sent troops to reinforce the important town of Baqiu when Changsha was raided."

"The walls of Baqiu City are thick and the defense is extremely strong. I heard that Lu Meng led his troops to attack for many days, and now the troops stationed in Cangwu have led the army to the border of Guiyang County."

"Since Lu Meng cannot capture the important town of Baqiu, he cannot cut off the connection between Nanjun and Jingnan counties. He will inevitably make changes in his tactics."

"If nothing goes wrong, the Wu army will definitely direct its troops towards the other three counties, and the infantry will distract the attention of our Guiyang defenders and create opportunities for Lü Meng."

After a while, the words fell.

When Ma Su heard this, his brows couldn't help but frowned for a moment.

"According to this, wouldn't it be difficult to preserve those counties?"

At this moment, Ma Su also felt the crisis of the situation and said in a deep voice.

"Well, Changsha County has been lost, and Bu Zhao is cooperating. Now Lu Meng may be on his way to lead a raid on Guiyang County."

"Time is urgent now. As for Guiyang, which is already east of the Xiang River, I'm afraid we are beyond our reach."

As soon as he said this, Ma Su was thoughtful and then he realized: "The general considered that Guiyang County would be difficult to protect, so he decided to hide the whereabouts of the army to Lingling County by pretending to be barbarians and going down the mountain to plunder.

?"

"Then design a battle with the Wu army in Lingling?"

"What Brother Youchang said is true. This is exactly what I think."

After saying this, Zhao Tong responded with a smile and said: "Of course, there is also the factor of Lingling County Governor."

"If nothing unexpected happens, when Lu Meng's army approaches Guiyang County, there is a high probability that the governor of Guiyang County will open the city and surrender."

"But Hao Pu is trustworthy. Due to various factors, the general decided to set up the battlefield with the Wu army in Lingling."

Say it in one word.

After hearing this, Ma Su thought deeply and seemed to understand his intention.

At this time, Zhao Tong could not help but recall the life of Hao Pu, the governor of Lingling County.

In the original history, when this man faced Lü Meng's main army approaching the city, he still remained calm and insisted on holding on with his troops until Liu Bei led his troops to come from Chengdu for reinforcements.

Lingling County has not yet fallen.

Later, Lu Meng thought of a plan at the opportunity. Since the city was surrounded by people, it was impossible to receive any information from the outside world.

Lü Meng lied that outside reinforcements had been blocked and could not take care of Lingling, and threatened Lingling with his wealth, life and family. Haopu finally surrendered in fear.

Zhao Tong felt that as long as he stationed in Lingling County in advance, his maneuverability would be much greater.

At least Lingling was not lost, so Lü Meng would definitely be wary of the enemy and would not dare to openly lead his troops northward to reinforce the battle between Lu Su and Guan Yu.

And just when Zhao Tong and his troops disguised themselves as barbarians and quietly dispersed to Lingling County to assemble.

At this time, Lu Meng ordered Ling Tong to lead a partial army to garrison in Luo County to control the safety of the county and Linxiang City.

He himself took the main force and went south non-stop to attack Guiyang County.

More than ten days later.

Since all the Guiyang defenders had been drawn to the border to confront Bu Zhao's troops, the area north of Guiyang was almost in an empty situation.

The Wu army marched all the way straight to the capital city of Chenzhou.

The governor of Guiyang County had never seen such a battle before. Seeing the posture of tens of thousands of Wu troops, he was already filled with fear and almost without hesitation opened the city to surrender.

Immediately, Lu Meng led his troops into Chenzhou City.

And the rest of the places can be easily decided by spreading the word.

In less than a month, Lu Meng easily captured two counties and attacked all areas east of the Xiang River.

Next.

Inside the military mansion.

Lu Meng continued to convene the generals to discuss the matter of continuing to advance the army.

"This time our army was able to pacify the two counties so quickly, it is all due to your hard work!"

"But this is far from just the beginning. After our army completely captures Jingzhou, I will ask the lord and the generals for their merits."

"This is all due to the general's proper planning!"

After the words were spoken, Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang, headed by Jiang Qin, responded humbly.

"You don't have to be so humble."

After saying that, Lu Meng pondered for a while and then said: "The next step is for our army to cross the Xiang River, take advantage of the victory and march forward to seize Lingling County with lightning speed."

"With just one Lingling, the safety of our army's rear will suddenly be resolved!"

"At that time, I will once again raise my troops to the north to join forces with the Governor of Lu. Even if Guan Yu personally leads his troops, there will be nothing we can do!"

"Best greetings, General."

"I admire you!"

As Lu Meng slowly put forward his tactical plan, all the generals also agreed.

For them, this battle is also the best opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

As long as there is a war to fight, that is enough.

The plan has been decided.

Lü Meng was also a resolute and resolute figure. He set about making Bu Zhao responsible for the follow-up matters such as pacifying the people of Guiyang County, and then continued to lead the army to march westward.

While passing through Ling County on the way, as the magistrate of this county returned from Kaicheng, through a strange conversation, Lu Meng discovered that the magistrate Deng Xuanzhi was actually a good friend of Hao Pu, the governor of Lingling County.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly decided to let him accompany the army, maybe it would be useful to break the city later.

"Brother Xuan, I want to take Lingling County next. I heard that you have a close relationship with the governor Hao Pu. I wonder if you can come to the city with me to persuade him to submit?"

"This is better than Lingling County being spared the baptism of war. Isn't it wonderful?"

In one word.

Seeing that the Wu army was powerful, Deng Xuanzhi, who knew the current affairs very well, smiled and said: "Of course it is!"

"Since General Lu has given orders, he will definitely go all out to serve the general."

"Even if you go up the mountain of knives, you won't hesitate to go down into the sea of ​​fire!"
