The First Thousand and Eighty-Eight Chapters Go Deep Behind the Enemy

This transaction has gained both Cai Mao and Liu Bei.

If Cai Mao wins Xiangyang, his strength will definitely increase greatly. No matter how much Liu Bei takes away, this Xiangyang will always be the seat of Jingzhou. When Liu Biao was there, he developed very well.

After occupying Xiangyang, Cai Mao shifted his focus to Xiangyang.

As for Liu Bei, who just occupied Shuchuan, the most important thing is to have development funds. This time he got the money and just took the opportunity to develop.

The alliance between Cao Cao and Cai Hao can finally be reached, and the two of them have no deep hatred.

There is no big enmity, it's just a relationship of competition. Before that, there was a lot of competition in business.

Cai Mao was unable to form an alliance with Sun Ce, so he quickly negotiated terms with Cao Cao, supported each other, and formed an alliance.

With the alliance formed, Cao Cao can finally breathe a sigh of relief and develop his territory.

Recently, Cao Cao put aside a lot of important things to worry about other people's affairs, and always cared about Zhang Yu's situation.

On Zhang Yu's side, after the Battle of Chibi, many water forces on Sun Ce's side were wiped out, making them unable to attack and could only defend.

A big victory was achieved here, and the news reached Sun Ce.

Sun Ce sighed, "Is my Sun family's foundation really about to change hands?"

Sun Ce was young and a hero, he was very unwilling.

At Jiangxiakou, Sun Ce still had enough troops to defend, so he was not in a hurry to retreat.

The next day, both sides continued to attack.

"No matter what, we must keep enough soldiers and horses. Even if we fail, we will be eligible to negotiate."

Sun Ce is not pessimistic, he is still not pessimistic, and he still has to fight to the end.

But his position is related to the fate of the whole family, so he has to carefully consider the consequences.

What is the consequence is that Zhang Yu destroyed them.

After Zhang Yu defeated Zhou Yu, he did not rush to attack, but continued to besiege. When the troops from the other side came, Zhang Yu did not rush to attack.

It is Sun Ce's side who should be anxious.

Zhang Yu had to wait to see if there were any loopholes.

See if you can attract troops from other places.

When the army converged, a small number of troops were deployed on the north bank. Those troops Zhang Yu hoped that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses could divide their troops to deal with them.

It's a pity that it's best not to divide the troops to deal with it.

Zhang Yu called Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

"I want a quick battle, not how to quickly take down this city, but to defeat the entire force." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu doesn't care if this city takes a little more time.

But not every city, every place must fight slowly with the enemy.

Originally, Cao Cao used this strategy, and the effect of this strategy was very good. If they hadn't made a major mistake, it would not have been so easy for Zhang Yu to seize the opportunity.

If Zhang Yu is the overall situation.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai fell into thinking.

This Sun Ce's territory is very large, all around Dongting Lake, and around Changsha.

These places add up to a vast area.

It is really not easy to take down the entire area quickly.

"My lord, my subordinates think that we can open up more fronts, bypass the current situation, directly threaten Sun Ce's rear, and force them to fight us," Guo Jia said.

Zhang Yu sat in the tent, drank tea and said, "Tell me specifically."

"My lord, Chibi's navy is not strong anymore. Let's go straight up the waterway, attack their rear, and even go directly to the city of Changsha. As long as Sun Ce's army is mobilized, we will have opportunities everywhere."

If Sun Ce's troops don't move, there will be few opportunities. The current situation is that Sun Ce's army doesn't move, and Zhang Yu and the others don't have many effective solutions for the time being.

Xi Zhicai was different. After hearing Guo Jia's strategy, he thought for a while and said, "My lord, it must not be like this. We have already gained an advantage, so there is no need to take such a risk."

"If Sun Ce's army in front can resist, we will fall into a passive position. It is better to push over a little bit. Even if we sacrifice a little more, we don't need to take such a risk."

Xi Zhicai disagreed, of course he had his reasons.

Zhang Yu is the dominant side, there is no need to take risks.

Guo Jia said, "Sun Ce's army can use only a few people. Most of them are on the battlefield now. If we break into their rear, the enemy will definitely panic. Then we will have a chance."

Xi Zhicai objected again and said, "It was difficult for us to carry any siege equipment in the past. How could Sun Jun be afraid? Their Changsha City is always confident in blocking it for a few months. In other places, they will not attack a few small places." Distressed."

The two counselors were arguing there, each with its own reasons.

Zhang Yu was thinking by himself.

After he thought about it, he said, "Okay, I've decided that I will personally lead the expedition and lead troops into Sun Ce's rear to see if they are in a hurry."

"My lord, no."

Both of them opposed Zhang Yu's taking risks at the same time. .

It's fine for the others to take risks, but Zhang Yu is their backbone, if they take risks and something happens, it will be a big deal.

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "As long as I go there in person, they will take the risk. They want to trap me and resolve this dispute. At the same time, only I have the ability to make chaos in their rear."

Zhang Yu wanted to fight to determine the world, he didn't have so much time to spend slowly, so he planned to take risks.

With Zhang Yu's current status, it is naturally unnecessary, but he wants to give Sun Ce a chance. If the war is fought step by step, it is only a matter of time before Sun Ce and the others perish, and it will not be too long.

But if Zhang Yu takes a risk and can defeat their army, or even capture or kill that Zhang Yu, then there may be a big turning point.

In fact, Zhang Yu understood that this was impossible, his army would not be chaotic, and even without him, the enemy would not be able to take advantage of the situation and defeat it.

After the decision, neither Guo Jia nor Xi Zhicai could object.

But Zhang Yu didn't act rashly, but made many arrangements.

"First, I will secretly follow the fleet and attack their rear suddenly. If I find something of value, I will attack it. If not, I will scare the Sun family."

"In addition, you can order the 200,000 troops from the rear to come up. This place is handed over to you two, and the army in the rear is handed over to Zhang Liao. With him, the battle situation will not collapse."

After Zhang Yu made arrangements, he began to act.

Soon, within two days, Zhang Yu secretly followed the fleet to the Dongting Lake area.

Zhou Yu was quite anxious this time. He sent someone to intercept him, but his troops were insufficient and he failed to intercept him.

He can't discard this Red Cliff either, it's very important to support Sun Ce in Jiangxiakou here.

"This fleet is expected to bring 50,000 people into the hinterland. It is indeed a threat." Zhou Yu thought.

Although Dongting Lake also has their navy, but that is weaker.

Zhang Yu rushed forward and went deep behind the enemy's rear.

Zhou Yu was very worried and hurriedly reported to Sun Ce.

Zhang Yu was always bold, so he didn't know what would happen this time.
