March.
He arrived as promised.
Wang Xiong was like the stars and the moon.
They arrived at the Second Legion's encampment as quickly as possible.
Sun Ce had already been defeated and would not attack Pengze in the short term, so the defense against Jingzhou was very important.
This was the difference between a single warlord and a large dukedom.
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong wanted to use troops against Yuzhang, but the procedures they had to go through were many times more complicated than Sun Ce's. This also gave him a chance to catch his breath on the battlefield.
Chaisang.
Linjiang.
The 2nd legion's camp stretched for miles.
10,000 soldiers formed a defensive line along the river to deal with the Jingzhou attack at all times.
The commander's tent.
Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin stood respectfully.
Wang Xiong flipped through the military expenditure book and said in a deep voice,""Is there still no movement from You County?"
"Yes."
"Jingzhou had already begun to gather provisions in February," Gan Ning replied respectfully."After Sun Ce's defeat, they stopped!"”
"Pa."
Wang Xiong closed the register.
The sound of bamboo slips colliding made Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin's hearts skip a beat.
"My lord."
Gan Ning hesitated.
Wang Xiong looked down at the generals and said in a deep voice,"Ziyu, I heard that your elder sister married into the Kuai family and the Pang family of Xiangyang, right?”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhuge Jin said respectfully.
"Do you know why they didn't stop Liu Biao from killing Zhuge Xuan?" Wang Xiong asked with a faint smile.”
"Benefits."
Zhuge Jin said with a sinister expression.
Wang Xiong nodded and said in a deep voice," The Jing Xiang aristocratic families support Liu Biao, so they must obtain sufficient benefits. Zhuge Xuan was the executor elected by the Jing Xiang aristocratic families and Liu Biao in Yuzhang. He could have fought for sufficient benefits for them, but Yuzhang was lost, so your uncle became a sacrifice!”
"Yes."
Zhuge Jin clenched his fists.
At this moment, the hatred in his heart grew stronger.
"Gulp."
Wang Xiong sipped his tea and looked at Jiang Xia."In the entire Jing State, among Huang Zhong's troops, Jiang Xia's navy is the strongest, so they are all waiting.”
"Wait?"
Gan Ning asked.
Wang Xiong pointed at the map and said," Huang Zu also wants Yuzhang. However, he is a subordinate of Jing State and needs to listen to Liu Biao's orders. Liu Biao wants to support Liu Pan to ascend the throne. Therefore, Huang Zu can only wait for Liu Pan to be defeated before sending troops to attack Yuzhang.”
"If that's the case, why hasn't Liu Pan moved?" Gan Ning asked thoughtfully.”
"Haha!"
Wang Xiong shook his head and laughed," Naturally, it's because Sun Ce was defeated, so Liu Biao couldn't afford to lose. Ancestor Huang is already powerful enough. If Liu Pan is defeated, then Ancestor Huang will attack Yuzhang, and the power of Jing State will lose its balance!”
"Understood."
"Liu Pan is afraid of failure, so he doesn't dare to move. Huang Zu is waiting for Liu Pan to fail, so he doesn't move!" Gan Ning said.”
"Not bad."
Wang Xiong nodded in gratification.
"My lord."
Zhuge Jin said," When two armies are confronting each other, there is no reason to guard against thieves every night. When Yuan Shu and Liu Yao decide who is better, we will still be held back by Liu Biao. Yuzhang will be in danger!"”
"Yes, I am."
Gan Ning added.
Wang Xiong's gaze landed on the tent and said with a faint smile,"That's why I brought Taishi Ci here. He'll be the general of the second legion for the time being.”
"General?"
Gan Ning blinked.
He had naturally heard of Taishi Ci.
Moreover, Wang Xiong praised him as a loyal and unparalleled person, and this was also sung in Yuzhang.
He was the future general of the 3rd legion. Wasn't it a waste of talent to be the marquis of the 2nd legion?
"Greetings, General."
Taishi Ci bowed to Gan Ning without complaint.
Becoming a military marquis and commanding a thousand troops was much better than being in Qua.
"Alright."
Gan Ning nodded.
"Ziyi."
Wang Xiong stood up and said," Ever since the Red Cliff Army moved out of Tianyue Mountain, some Shanyue people have appeared in the Jiuling Mountain area. These people fled from Changsha and Guiyang. They gathered the people and became bandits. Their leader is called Zong Shuai. Are you willing to go and punish them?"”
"I'm willing to go."
Taishi Ci said with a sharp gaze.
"Alright."
Wang Xiong nodded and said in a deep voice," Today, you will lead the Jing 'an Governor and lead a thousand troops to suppress the bandits. The more commotion you cause, the greater the chance of Chaisang winning."”
"Here."
Taishi Ci shouted.
"Let's recruit some soldiers."
Wang Xiong waved his hand.
Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, and the others bowed and retreated.
"My lord."
Zhuge Jin checked the map and didn't know whether to laugh or cry."As far as I know, the sect commander of Jiuling Mountain is called Dong Si. There are only two to three thousand bandits under him. The rest are the old, weak, sick, and disabled.”
"Not bad."
Wang Xiong nodded.
Zhuge Jin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice,""Lord, could it be that you are trying to divert the east and attack the west, wanting Liu Pan's army to withdraw from You County into the Linxiang area?”
"Yuzhang and Changsha County are separated by a continuous mountain range!”
"Infantry soldiers can't display their combat strength. Only navy troops can attack.”
"But the Jing state's elite navy is in the hands of the Huang ancestor, so if Liu Pan makes a move, he will definitely pass through the mountains to attack Yuzhang!”
"Even if he doesn't move, Ziyi can still intimidate the Jing state army!”Wang Xiong outlined a few routes on the map.
"Knocking the mountain to scare the tiger."
Zhuge Jin suddenly understood." My lord, you are telling them that the Red Cliff Army was born from the Tianyue Mountain. If they march across the mountains, they will be attacked by us!"”
"Yes."
Wang Xiong crossed his arms and said in a deep voice," Although Ziyi's troops are few, they have the effect of intimidation. That's why we have to force Liu Pan and Huang Zhong to fight on the water. Only then can we defeat their elite infantry!"”
"My lord is a great talent."
Zhuge Jin bowed emotionally.
