The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Liqiu, Zhonglu, Binguo, and Yicheng in the lower reaches can continuously supply materials to Xiangyang through waterways.

So if you want to go to Xiangyang quickly, I'm afraid the possibility is not too great.

In my opinion, first of all, we should effectively use our naval advantages to control the entire Hanshui River and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and other places.

In this way, the supply from all over the place was cut off first. No matter how much reserves there are in Xiangyang City, it is not enough for nearly [-] troops to use for a long time.

Moreover, with the blockade of the navy, the opponent who lost the warship could not deal with it, so they could only retreat and defend in the city.

In this way, our army can attack wantonly around and take all the surrounding cities into our own.

When the time comes, the other party will be isolated and helpless, coupled with the lack of supplies in the city, they can only surrender obediently!

Compared with a strong attack, this strategy is nothing more than consuming more food and grass, but it can keep countless soldiers safe.Please Your Majesty! "

Upon hearing this, Liu Ke couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Zhuge Liang's statement.

He then asked patiently: "In Kong Ming's opinion, where should I choose as my first target?"

"Longzhong!"

Zhuge Liang said it categorically.

Under Liu Ke's doubts, Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "Your Majesty, please see that the position of our army at this moment is in the middle of Longzhong and Xiangyang.

Instead of attacking the strong Xiangyang, it is better to get Longzhong first.Otherwise, you will fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides.

In addition, Longzhong was originally the place where Sun Ce stored food, grass and luggage. Instead of leaving it to the other party, we should use it first!

Moreover, Longzhong is located in the upper reaches of Xiangyang. Our army can use it as a stronghold after it is acquired, and can attack Xiangyang downstream at any time.

These three points should be enough to convince His Majesty! "

"Hahahaha! Kong Ming is indeed my brains, these three points are enough! Tomorrow, I will use Longzhong first!"

Liu Ke made a decisive decision, and then arranged for the generals to act separately.

Early the next morning, Liu Ke received news that the enemy had arrived before he sent troops.

When he heard clearly, he couldn't help laughing.

Because the visiting enemy army did not come from the direction of Xiangyang, but from Longzhong.

It turned out that after a whole day of fighting yesterday, Longzhong did not go out of the city to retreat from the enemy because of the seriousness of the relationship.

It wasn't until early this morning, when I heard that there was little movement outside, that I finally had the courage to go out of the city to check the specific situation of the battle.

Longzhong's defender named Dong Xi led eight thousand soldiers to investigate the enemy's situation, and before he arrived, he alerted Liu Ke's scouts outside.

After Liu Ke got the news, he immediately sent Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to meet him.

Zhang Liao attacked quickly and stopped Dong Xi as soon as he arrived at Daqi Mountain.

"Zhang Liao is here, come and tell me your name!"

"I am General Dong Xiye, I am afraid of death and get out of the way quickly!"

Dong Xi is also a fierce general, although he saw the enemy approaching so suddenly, his expression did not change.

Naturally, Zhang Liao couldn't get out of the way, instead he charged forward directly.

He waved the big knife in his hand and chopped it directly at the top of Dong Xi's head.

Seeing the opponent coming so quickly, Dong Xi was shocked, and hurried forward to meet him, and the two immediately fell into a fierce battle.

Dong Xi had heard about Zhang Liao's fame before, and knew that he was a formidable opponent, so he was very careful in dealing with it.

When Zhang Liao fought Dong Xi again, he also found that although he was not well-known before, he was indeed a formidable opponent with sharp marksmanship and bravery in combat.

As a result, a battle between dragons and tigers started at the foot of Daqi Mountain, and the two fought for hundreds of rounds.

Still unable to do anything to the opponent, but unwilling to let go easily, he went back to the formation to rest for a while and come back to fight again.

But what Dong Xi didn't know was that all this turned out to be a conspiracy.

It turned out that Zhang Liao's task was to hold back the opponent and attract Dong Xi's attention.

Otherwise, if the army is all out, wouldn't his mere [-] soldiers be wiped out in an instant?

When Dong Xi and Zhang Liao were in a stalemate, Gan Ning had already quietly led the navy upstream.

Although Longzhong is not close to the Han River, it is precisely because of this that Jiang An has no opponent's defenders.

Moreover, there was a flat area between Longzhong and Hanshui. After Gan Ning arrived, he easily landed on the shore and moved towards Longzhong quietly.

At this moment, the guard in Longzhong is Zhou Bo, who was originally a bandit, but was surrendered by Dong Xi and followed him.

It has been more than an hour since Dong Xi left Longzhong, but there is still no movement.

So Zhou Bo, who was standing on the top of the wall, was pacing back and forth, feeling anxious.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran from the city.

This person was dressed in Jingzhou military uniforms, so the guards were naturally not surprised.

I saw the man panting and said: "General, General, General Dong was traveling ten miles, and suddenly he was surrounded by enemy troops. The situation is critical now.

I also hope that the general will send troops to rescue quickly! "
