Sui and Tang Dynasties: At the beginning, Mrs. Li ran away from relatives

Zhang Xutuo pointed to the map hanging on the wall.

"Our department can pass through the above two places to regain the lost area of ​​Jingling County and approach Xiangyang County."

Many generals are aware of this.

"The intention of the Han army is obvious. They took down Nanjun and Jiangling City, the Jingzhou government, and drove us to the opposite side of the Yangtze River."

Wang Renshou continued.

At that time, Jingzhou will be at a disadvantage, and the Han army will begin to take advantage.

"Han Shizhu's intentions are extremely sinister. He knows that our department is clearing up the rebels, and we can't spare too many troops."

Zhang Xutuo frowned.

There are many rebel forces in Jingzhou, and one of them is not weak. If they withdraw their troops to fight with the Han army, there is a high probability that they will suffer from the enemy.

"We want to attack the area around Jingling County, force the Han army to return to aid Xiangyang County, and take the opportunity to take back Yiling County."

His own opinion is correct, Wang Renshou said it boldly.

Otherwise, Nanjun is always under the threat of the Han army, and there are loopholes in the barrier.

"Yes, the Han army must not look at each other head to tail."

Many generals echoed.

"Report, big, big things are not good."

When the discussion was almost over, a Sui army scout ran in in a panic.

"What happened?"

With the Han army approaching outside and the rebels inside, Zhang Xutuo didn't care too much.

"Old General Zhang, hang up all the prefectures and counties bordering Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and hang the flag of the Han army."

The scout faltered and said.

"You, what did you say!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Xutuo trembled with his fingers.

If Yuzhou becomes the Han army's, then the pressure on Jingzhou will further increase.

"How is it possible? The Han army can't even take down Luoyang. Why is Yuzhou owned by the Han army?"

Wang Renshou said subconsciously.

Just kidding, there is Mai Mengcai stationed in Yuzhou, and his [-] elite regular army.

"Luoyang has been captured long ago, and Yuzhou, if the generals don't believe it, you can go to the bordering place to have a look.

The scout said truthfully.

"You said, Luoyang has fallen!"

Before he finished digesting the last news, more heavy news came one after another, and Zhang Xutuo bumped his steps.As a veteran who was loyal to the Sui Dynasty and made countless military exploits, this was the most unacceptable fact.

"This!"

All the generals were suddenly speechless.

Similar to Li Tang's situation,

Conversely, proactively spread the news,

One message is better than one,

"This this!"

The Han army did not take the initiative to spread the news, and the Sui Dynasty lost its intelligence network in Sizhou, so the speed was relatively slow.The speed becomes faster.

Wang Renshou couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed of his trust in you, which caused Luoyang's final fall."

Zhang Xutuo looked up in a gaffe.

Regardless of whether the Han army is strong or not, it is a fact that King Qin was not in time, and there is a considerable responsibility.

"Old General Zhang doesn't blame you, no one expected that the strength of the Han army is so strong!"

The old general hadn't seen such a gaffe at all, and the generals went to persuade him with horror.

"King Qin is not successful, and Luoyang is also lost. We must defend Jingzhou well."

Wang Renshou persuaded them together.

"Yes, guard Jingzhou well!"

If you can't do the above two things, you must at least do your best, otherwise Zhang Xutuo will not forgive himself.If you don't forgive yourself, of course you will have no face to see the emperor again and choose to kill yourself on the spot.

"There is also news that Badong County, which borders Yiling County, also has the flag of the Han army."

The scout hasn't left yet,

Go on.

"What, even Yizhou has an accident, what are Zuo Tiancheng and the others doing?

Zhang Xutuo, who just took a breath, said in disbelief.

"Where did the Han army get its strength?

and,

The friendly army in Yizhou is nothing but paper!

Surprised, Wang Renshou said angrily.

The loss of Yuzhou can be reluctantly accepted. The families of civil and military personnel are in the hands of the Han army, but Yizhou cannot accept it. There are many elite soldiers and strong generals.

Except that there is no navy, it is not much worse than Jingzhou, not to mention it has many dangers.

"So Jingzhou is half surrounded by the Han army?"

The rest of the generals were stunned, today's news was too explosive.

It's not a joke that Jingzhou extends in all directions. They border on the Han army in three directions: Yuzhou, Sizhou and Yizhou.

"To the south of Yizhou, have you seen the flag of the Han army?"

At any rate, he experienced a lot of storms, Zhang Xutuo, who was the first to digest it, turned to say.

"Old General Zhang, not at all."

The scout thought about it.

"Huh, it's okay, it's okay, the overall situation has not gotten out of control."

Zhang Xutuo was relieved immediately, the Han army only took half of Yizhou, not all of it.

If they really win the whole territory, they only have one way to go to Jingzhou, ask for reinforcements from other places, and then defend to the death!

"Jingzhou can't protect itself, Old General Zhang, we can't send troops to support it."

Many generals are aware of this problem.

"Notify the general guarding Jiaozhou and order him not to come to Jingzhou, but to go directly to Yizhou for reinforcements."

Zhang Xutuo said in a calm voice.

There are also rebellions in Jiaozhou. Fortunately, excess troops can be drawn out, which is enough to alleviate the deterioration of the situation in Yizhou.

"Good way, I will do it immediately."

One person is about to leave.

"Wait, bring the old man's seal."

Mobilizing troops is no small matter, Zhang Xutuo took out his seal.

"No, Old General Zhang."

The general took the seal, then turned and left.

From Jingzhou to Jiaozhou, the road is relatively difficult, and the situation is extremely urgent, so we need to hurry up.

"The Han army controls the entire territory of Yuzhou, including half of Yizhou. Our strategy needs to be improved."

Zhang Xutuo's meaning is obvious, to abandon the previous policy.

"Old General Zhang, we must focus on strictly guarding against the Han army, and shrink our troops when necessary.

Wang Renshou hesitated for a moment and said.

Since the last big defeat, Jingzhou's military strength has not been sufficient, and the shrinkage is more in line with the status quo.

And asking Yangzhou for support, they have no shame, and the situation over there is also unstable.

"General Wang, do you want us to abandon some places?"

Someone heard the meaning in the words and asked.

"That's right, there are too many places in Jingzhou bordering the Han army, and there are rebellions in the territory, so there is a serious shortage of troops. Now that he said it, Wang Renshou didn't hesitate too much.

"Ren Shou's idea is right, Handong County and Yiyang County are in a pincer attack, and our troops are not strong.

"Why not leave here and let the Han army take over."

Zhang Xutuo narrowed his eyes and said.

"Old General Zhang, you mean to disperse the troops of the Han army directly?"

Some generals said uncertainly.

They gave up some places to achieve the purpose of shrinking their forces, while the Han army dispersed their forces on the contrary.

"Yes, it depends on whether Han Shiwei is fooled."

Zhang Xutuo nodded.

As long as the Han army's forces are dispersed, they will concentrate their forces and carry out various defeats. It is not a dream to capture Xiangyang.

"oo? Jiang is still old and hot, Han Shizhu, you can't let the old general's intentions go easily."

Wang Renshou said in admiration.

He made this suggestion only to concentrate his forces to better deal with the situation.

As a result, General Zhang thought of another layer, which was specially used to trap the Han army, regardless of the gains and losses of several places.

"Han Shiwei will definitely be fooled. He has won several games in a row, but he can't resist such a temptation."

This strategy was unpredictable, and many generals immediately gained confidence.

"Assemble [-] naval officers and soldiers to blockade the Yangtze River waters in Yiling County, Nan County, and Anlu County."

"Increase the logistical pressure on the Han army, and firmly restrain them."

Zhang Xutuo, who has real skills, said calmly.

"The Han army going south has no navy, only cavalry, which is their shortcoming.

Wang Renshou's eyes lighted up unconsciously.

Even if the Han army reaches Jiangling in Nanjun, in any case, a large-scale force cannot break through the Yangtze River Basin.

There may be a small group of soldiers crossing Yiling County, but as many as they come, they will be wiped out.

"And we can put more troops in other places, or speed up the counterinsurgency."

The generals agreed.

"Initially defend the Han army and disperse their forces. After clearing the rebels in the territory, take the initiative to attack!"

Zhang Xutuo also took a deep breath.

"No, the last general will obey."

The generals of the Jingzhou Sui Army obeyed.

"Father, there is news from Chang'an."
