Chapter 1166: Divine Strategy

Jingzhou and Hengyang are only Jingzhou, one of the nine ancient states. Among the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven and Earth, there is a Jingzhou Cauldron!

Jing is another name for the ancient Chu state. Because Chu once founded the state on Jingshan Mountain, Jing and Chu were both interchangeable in ancient times.

During the Three Kingdoms period in real history, Jingzhou was a place where heroes competed for the throne, and cultural relics of the Three Kingdoms were scattered throughout the territory.

Jingzhou has seven counties: Nanyang County, Nanjun, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County and Changsha County.

Nanyang County, Nan County, and Jiangxia County are the three northern counties, and Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha County are the four southern counties.

Why are the northern and southern counties so distinguished? That's because there's a big difference between the two.

Beisan County has many famous families, splendid culture and many great scholars. It is the core place of Jingzhou culture.

The four southern counties are quite complicated. There are so many so-called clan thieves.

The chief bandit refers to an armed group composed of clan and village relationships. A gang of thieves who are mainly members of the same clan.

The number of clan thieves in Jingzhou can be said to be the largest among the thirteen states in China.

However, Taipingdao is thriving here, and many sect thieves have joined the Yellow Turban Army.

One more thing needs to be mentioned, that is, a lot of the food stored in Taiping Road was provided by the four southern counties of Jingzhou.

Taiping Dao did not completely capture Jingzhou because the controllers of some cities in the four southern counties of Jingzhou secretly communicated with Taiping Dao.

Of course, it is difficult to completely capture Jingzhou, and the important city of Xiangyang is simply difficult to capture.

Taipingdao's preaching in Xiangyang City simply didn't work. Some people in Xiangyang City had the same attitude towards the Yellow Turban Army as Lin Mu.

The main palace of Xinye City.

"Military Commander, except for Changsha County, which is completely suppressed in Jingzhou, all other counties have our cities." An elder of the Yellow Turban Army reported to Zhang Huo.

"Changsha County completely wiped out our people because of the resistance of the officers and soldiers led by Sun Jian. However, as long as we wait for him to leave, we can cooperate with those families to get Changsha County back." Zhang Huozhu said with a slight smile.

Sun Jian...the Lord seems to have specifically mentioned this person!

Although he wiped out the Yellow Turban Army on the surface, those clan thieves secretly were also Yellow Turban Army! If there is an opportunity, there is nothing wrong with weakening its foundation.

During the last Xu Zhao Rebellion, Sun Jian gained a lot of benefits from the Great Wilderness territory! He didn't join the Great Wilderness Territory at that time. Needless to say, now that he has joined, he has to find his place.

"What is the current whereabouts of Sun Jian's troops?" Zhang Huo asked with a fixed look in his eyes.

Obviously, Zhang Huozhu set his target on Sun Jian's department.

"They have completed integrating their troops. They have gone north from Changsha County and have probably reached Hanshou City."

After Sun Jian led his troops to quickly wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Changsha County, he turned and headed north to attack Bo Cai or Zhang Mancheng.

However, Sun Jian's troops, who lacked production support, discovered after the expedition that there was not much food and grass left!

The tiger generals in Sun Jian's department are all good at charging into battle, but when it comes to logistics and production, they are helpless.

If Zhou Yu hadn't come up with a plan, he wouldn't have known how to get food and grass. Zhou Yu's plan is actually very simple, which is to reach out to the nobles. This is similar to what Dong Zhuo did in Jingjing City.

The wealthy nobles, who originally didn't have a good impression of this rude man, never succeeded in visiting him to "borrow food", and even couldn't get through the gates of many noble houses.

Sun Jian's situation is actually related to his iron-fisted methods.

He led his tiger generals to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in counties and counties in a frantic manner. The battles were fruitful, but his subordinates also suffered a lot of injuries.

Sun Jian's fighting style is tough!

Needless to say, attack the city occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, attack it by force! A group of tiger generals rushed forward and led their troops to attack the city regardless of losses.

Although he defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Changsha County in a short period of time, many of his soldiers died.

And Sun Jian and others did not have territorial citizens to supplement or resurrect them like Lin Mu. He directly gathered prisoners, transferred strong men from counties and counties, strengthened the troops, and continued to attack the next city.

In this process, Sun Jian would of course take action against some clan traitors who had defected to the Yellow Turban Army. In order to ensure a stable victory in the war, Sun Jian's ministry even forcibly transferred some soldiers who were clan traitors from the Han camp.

You know, the clan thieves in Changsha County are complicated, and the clan thieves may be related to each other.

Some noble clans secretly formed clan thieves and even directly criticized Sun Jian for his ruthless killings.

Although some of the clan thieves in Changsha have joined the Yellow Turban Army, they are still their people and you cannot kill them! Killing is wrong!

This is their gangster philosophy.

What's more, cooperating with the Yellow Turban Army would be of no harm to them. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, so Longting can't control here, and they don't really wield weapons and go north to Luoyang, the sacred capital, to kill Liu Hong.

That's unrealistic!

They are just a piece of cake, not princes dreaming of being emperors! That one is too far away from them.

In this regard, these people are quite peaceful.

In this way, Sun Jian's troops' original strategy of wiping out the Yellow Turban Army in Changsha County and then heading north quickly fell apart.

Zhou Yu was also troubled by this situation. He was not in logistics, and he didn't pay much attention to the issue of food and grass. Of course, as long as he is willing to focus part of his attention on logistics, it will be easy to handle.

Through Zhou Yu's various strategies, Sun Jian still obtained grain and grass from the nobles in Changsha.

With food and grass in hand, Sun Jian's troops, which had been integrated long ago, quickly moved northward, quickly conquered several cities, and soon reached Hanshou City.

"Han Shoucheng...Sun Jian is planning to pass through Wuling County and Nan County and only come to our Nanyang County!" Zhang Huozhu said with determination with a flash of eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go to Jiangling City in Nanjun." Zhang Huo ordered.

"Going to Jiangling City in Nanjun? Will Sun Jian's troops go to this city?" Xiaoqu Commander Sun Xia asked doubtfully.

You must know that Jiangling City is the county seat of Nanjun. It is an important city with a very important geographical location. The Yellow Turban Army spent a lot of effort to capture this city.

Even the person currently stationed there is a Daqushuai-level figure.

"They will definitely go, and they will definitely attack Jiangling City." Zhang Huo said confidently.

"In this way, you send a few messengers to set off in advance and hand over some of my arrangements to Zhao Hong, the Dacan commander stationed in Jiangling City." Zhang Huozhu seemed to have thought of something, smiled softly, and ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Huozhu began to write on a piece of animal skin.

Soon, a letter in animal skin was released.

"General Le Jin, you imitate Zhang Mancheng and sit in Nanyang, and try to be as high-profile as possible. If possible, lead some troops to attack Wancheng, feign a few attacks, and show your face." After passing the animal skin letter, Zhang Huo noted explained.

At this time, Le Jin is no longer his original appearance, but looks like Zhang Mancheng who has been teleported away.

"Yes!" Zhang Mancheng's rough and familiar voice suddenly came.

Xiaoqu's handsome Sun Xia stared closely at the changed Le Jin, with a look of surprise on his face.

Like, really like! ! The Qi mechanism, appearance, etc. are all similar.

After a huge black curtain enveloped the entire sky, dotted with bright stars, the military meeting was concluded.

Everyone left, only Zhang Huozhu was still sitting in the hall, frowning slightly, thinking about something, occasionally lowering his head to write something, as if waiting for something.

I don’t know how much time passed, but a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared, a faint wind suddenly came, and the swaying candlelight kept rippling.

"Zhang Mancheng has left, come out." Zhang Huozhu said as if talking to himself.

"Military advisor, Yeying Tianjia is here to take orders." A hoarse, thin voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"You asked the Yeying Department to assist Le Jin's troops to capture the resource points on Taiping Road in Jingzhou, and all eight resource points were captured!"

"Remember, these resource points are not currently under our control, but we don't want to kill these people, just replace them! We want to make a peaceful transition and control these resource points."

"For specific operations, please follow these pieces of information." Zhang Huozhu said in a low voice.

"The ships in the Great Wilderness Territory should be on standby. The Mingli sailors have all been dispatched. This time they will move all the supplies back secretly."

"However, if Zhao Hong and others come to ask for resources, we can give them all the materials needed to defend the city."

"clear!"

"Also, let the people from the Night Shadow Division in Lingling County, Guiyang County, and Wuling County prepare to launch Plan No. 7 to encourage those guys to rob the countryside!" Zhang Huozhu said quietly.

"promise!"

"Those sect thieves must have been coveting those things for a long time!" Zhang Huozhu said with a strange smile.

"Your strategist is very smart. Those guys have been ready to take action for a long time. I think once they have an excuse, they will go crazy and wreak havoc on the three counties."
