Chapter 562: Three Pregnant Women
Zhang Yu was building momentum, and then Cai Mao took the opportunity to send troops, which Zhang Yu had discussed with Cai Mao long ago.
It went very smoothly, everything went according to Zhang Yu's original plan.
In mid-February, Sun Ce started to act. This time he dispatched an army of 200,000, and all the elites in the family came out to kill towards the east.
Sun Ce thought about developing eastward because both Changsha and Dongting Lake belonged to Jingzhou. The strength of Jingzhou made him uneasy, and he always wanted to develop elsewhere.
In history, Sun Ce attacked the Jiangdong area, but now the Jiangdong area is occupied by Zhang Yu, so he can only compete with Yuan Shu for territory.
To the east, Sun Ce did not go along the Yangtze River, because if he wanted to go east from the Yangtze River, he would encounter Jiangxiakou and other places, which were the areas controlled by Cai Mao.
Therefore, Sun Ce went by land.
Sun Ce's goal is to attack Yuzhang County, which is where Poyang Lake is located. The area is very wide, and the most important thing is that the land there is very fertile.
Sun Ce owns Dongting Lake, so he naturally knows the benefits of Poyang Lake and what it means.
As soon as Sun Ce acted, the spies hiding in Changsha City got the news.
Kuaima immediately ran to Jiangdong to report to Zhang Yu.
"Report, my lord, Sun Ce has dispatched troops."
When Zhang Yu received the news, although he had been prepared for a long time, he was unavoidably excited.
"Okay, order the whole army to start preparations, and we will attack in advance. We will complete the goal as soon as possible," Zhang Yu said.
It would take several days for Sun Ce to arrive, but Zhang Yu planned to attack in advance.
Attacking in advance will undoubtedly create opportunities for Sun Ce. Zhang Yu's attack will definitely bring Yuan Shu's army over. At that time, it will be much easier for Sun Ce to attack from the rear, and he can give Yuan Shu a fatal blow.
Zhang Yu's army immediately began to prepare.
Guo Jia has prepared all the combat maps.
Zhang Yu and the others walked into the war room that had been arranged, and then said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you will be in command of this battle, and I will go to the front line after the battle begins.
"
Zhang Yu handed over the command task to Guo Jia, and he personally led the troops to the front line.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we have been preparing for this battle for a long time, and we will definitely win it in one battle."
Zhang Yu and Guo Jia began to mobilize troops in the war room.
Guo Jia pointed to the map and said, "My lord, we will attack in three ways in this battle. My lord, Ling Cao, and Gao Shun will each bring one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and attack in three ways, eating more than 200,000 Yuan Shu soldiers and horses from Jiujiang County. Then the soldiers and horses of the three groups gathered beside Chaohu Lake, and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were used as bait to fight an ambush here, so as to quickly annihilate the enemy and achieve the goal of quickly occupying Jiujiang County."
Zhang Yu nodded. The strategy is simple and effective, but it is not easy to operate in practice, and the actual situation may change at any time.
Zhang Yu and Guo Jia perfected many details, and many of them were difficult to solve.
After studying for a day, the enemy's situation has not changed much. Zhang Yu is going to the front line to direct the battle the next day. At the same time, Guo Jia will also leave and go to the front line to command.
"Report, my lord, Madam Xiang urgently reports." Zhang Yu had just finished studying the battle plan with Guo Jia when he received the soldier's report.
Mrs. Xiang, that is, Xiang Xin, Zhang Yu wondered if she could have any urgent reports.
After receiving the letter from the soldier, Zhang Yu unfolded it.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
After reading Xin Zhangyu, he burst out laughing.
"My lord, what kind of happy event made you so happy." Seeing Zhang Yu's excitement, Guo Jia obviously had something very good.
Zhang Yu said: "I invite you to drink after the war. It's a happy event. Mrs. Xiang, Mrs. Mi, and Mrs. Cai are all pregnant."
"Congratulations, my lord, God bless me, Jiangdong." Guo Jia seemed to be more excited than Zhang Yu, speaking in a hurry.
The fact that Zhang Yu has no heir has always been a big problem in Jiangdong. Once Zhang Yu has an accident, the entire power may be in crisis.
Although many people didn't say it, Zhang Yu was often asked to marry more wives.
But they didn't know that the problem was with Zhang Yu, who was reformed by the system and has been infertile.
But recently Zhang Yu was remodeled again, and unexpectedly returned to normal.
On that trip, Zhang Yu brought four people, besides the three of them who were pregnant, Zhang Ning was also brought along.
"Hey, this Ning'er didn't get shot, I have to work harder when I go back, and try to dig out Zhang Jiao's treasure." Zhang Yu pondered.
Xiang Xin already knew about it, but in order to surprise Zhang Yu, they wanted to wait for Zhang Yu to go back before telling Zhang Yu.
But Zhang Yu stayed directly in Danyang County to prepare for the battle.
Fighting may be dangerous. Xiang Xin wants Zhang Yu not to take risks and let other generals do it.
In addition, this news can inspire the soldiers in front.
This is a major matter related to the stability and continuation of a power, so Xiang Xin hurriedly asked the soldiers to send the news back.
"Okay, let's pass this matter to the three armies and tell the soldiers that I will take Jiujiang County as a gift for my unborn child." Zhang Yu said to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "My lord, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted when they get the news, and they will be invincible."
Zhang Yu had a child, of course he was very happy. He had been in the Three Kingdoms for so many years and had been married for many years. When he suddenly had a child, he was naturally very excited.
But the matter in front of him is still to use troops against Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu also made preparations long ago, deploying heavy troops in Jiujiang County, Yuzhang County and other counties.
On the one hand defending Sun Ce, on the other hand defending Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu arrived at the combat team that night.
This time Zhang Yu commanded 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the attack was on the lower road, Xiang'an County next to Chaohu Lake.
"Report to my lord, the military adviser said that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses will arrive in five days, let the lord's soldiers and horses start now and attack in two days." The messenger said.
Zhang Yu immediately ordered the troops to move out.
The attack also needs to choose a time. Zhang Yu and the others are the first to launch the attack, but it can't be too early. You must choose a time that is favorable to you.
The army marches out at night, approaching the battlefield.
Two days later, Zhang Yu and the others had hidden hundreds of miles away from the target, and they might launch an attack at any time.
"Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are really complicated, and such an army wants to fight well." After Zhang Yu and the others approached, they naturally launched an investigation, and found that some of Yuan Shu's troops were well-equipped, some had weapons but no armor, some had strict military appearances, and some had military appearances. undisciplined.
Zhang Yu despises such an army. Although it has combat effectiveness, it cannot fight tough battles.
Time passed little by little, and on the morning of the third day of Zhang Yu's departure, the agreed time arrived.
"Proceed with the order, we must be quick in this battle, and defeat the enemy before they react." Zhang Yu shouted.
Zhang Yu launched an attack ahead of time, and before Sun Ce and the others attacked first, he wanted to surprise Yuan Shu's army.
Once Sun Ce and the others attack first, Yuan Shu will definitely strengthen his defense against them, and it will be difficult to fight at that time. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
