In the end, Gan Ning still joined Sun Jian.
Moreover, he was completely convinced and no longer had the arrogant attitude from before.
Not only did he not have an arrogant attitude, but he even seemed to have changed into a different person.
First, he took off the bells and feathers on his head and changed into a proper military uniform.
Secondly, there were no more vulgarities in his mouth, and he no longer had that arrogant look from before.
Other than that, his personality was still as lively as ever and he was quite enthusiastic towards people.
There was only one thing.
When he met Baili Ming, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, wanting to hide far away.
According to his own words, he was scared by Baili Ming!
He had a feeling that if he had not been so sincere when he surrendered, Baili Ming would have really attacked his brothers!
Similarly, he would also die!
He would never forget the way he smiled and gave you a glimmer of hope before ruthlessly taking it away!
However, when he was asked what his attitude toward Baili Ming was, Gan Ning immediately changed his expression and said righteously,
"Teacher, you've given me a new lease on life. Gan Ning will remember this and treat you with utmost respect!”
Every time the generals saw Gan Ning's reaction, they would laugh out loud.
Of course, this was all for the future!
At this moment, after Sun Jian's army cleared the path to the south, they had already gathered 40,000 troops and were marching toward Pill Sun.
Just like what Baili Ming had said.
Subduing Gan Ning was just an addition.
Taking down River East in a single battle was the fundamental goal of their army!
At this moment, on the river, close to 30 battleships, a tower ship, and hundreds of small boats were constantly transporting Sun Jian's army to the south bank of the river.
Meanwhile, in the large tent on the south bank, all the generals had already gathered.
With Sun Jian in the lead, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, and the others sat in a circle. In front of them was Baili Ming, who was explaining the strategy in front of the map!
Baili Ming had already changed into a green robe. He was tall and straight as he stood in front of the map and said with confidence,
"Everyone, please take a look at the map of Pill Sun County!”
"Now that our army is crossing south from Xiang An County, we can move all our troops to the south bank today!”
"Therefore, before Dan Yang Zhou Xin reacted, I suggest that our army should immediately split into three groups!”
"The first route will be led by General Zilong and his cavalry. They will go southeast and attack Jingxian!”
"After seizing Jingxian, immediately head north and head to Pill Sun County's Wanling.”
"The second route is our main force. We should follow the river bank and head straight for Spring Valley County to seize the northern route!”
"After seizing the Spring Valley, the main army will continue to advance, and at the same time, a third army will be formed.”
"This third army can be led by Generals Dian Wei and Zu Mao. They will continue to capture Wuhu and Liyang in the north. After capturing Liyang, they will stop at Liyang and wait for our main force to move north!”
At this point, Baili Ming stopped talking and looked at the crowd.
"My army's strategy for this battle has been said. Does anyone have any opinions or opinions?”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and did not speak. Only Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the back, stood up and cupped his hands.
"Sir, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it!”
Seeing Zhou Yu stand up, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Gongjin, please speak. Among us, you are the one who understands Dan Yang the most.”
"If you have any questions, you can tell me!”
He knew that aside from Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, everyone else knew the general plan.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he had doubts about Zhou Yu!
When Zhou Yu heard this, he pondered for a while before saying,"
"Military Advisor, I know Zhou Xin quite well!”
"Although this person is a disciple of the great scholar, Chen Fan, he likes Elder Huang's Dao and has a kind personality. He doesn't like military disasters!”
"Therefore, I feel that if our army directly advances eastward, we should be able to force this person to land!”
"There's no need to split into three groups!"
Everyone in the tent, except Gan Ning, smiled at Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce laughed for a while and hurriedly stood up."
"What Gongjin said is actually similar to what Mister deduced before our army sent out!”
"Before our army went south, Mister said that Zhou Xin might surrender without a fight!”
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, his delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed."
"If you already know about this, why are you still wasting so much effort to divide your forces?”
"It's better to directly march towards Wanling after seizing the Spring Valley. We don't have to worry about that Zhou Xin not surrendering!”
"Moreover, after splitting up like this, even if we seize Jingxian, Wuhu, Liyang, Spring Valley, and other cities, won't we still have to gather our forces and go to Wanling?”
"Isn't this the opposite path?”
"No!"
Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Gongjin is right, but our army has another motive!”
As he spoke, he came to the map and said,
"Gongjin missed out on one point just now, that is, after the Third Army takes Liyang, there is no need for us to go south!”
"Instead, they will stay in Liyang and wait for our army to go north!”
"And the reason why this army is stopping at Liyang is to collect ships and lay the foundation for our next step!”
"The next step?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he looked at the map and muttered,"
"Advisor Jun wants to collect ships in Liyang…"
Suddenly, he noticed Li Shui by the side of Li Yang City. His body trembled as he said,
"Could it be that Advisor Jun's next step is to go against the current through Lishui and enter Taihu Lake?”
As he spoke, he revealed a look of disbelief and said,
"Military advisor, is the purpose of our army not only to seize Pill Sun, but also to attack Wu County?”
"Gongjin is indeed very knowledgeable!"
Seeing this, Baili Ming smiled and said,
"The next step of our army is to surprise attack Yan Baihu of Wu County and force Sheng Xian to land!”
Without waiting for Zhou Yu to ask a question, he simply said his thoughts,"
"Let me put it this way!"
"The reason why our army split into three groups is actually for three purposes!”
"The first goal is to attack four cities at the same time and make it look like they are invading Pill Sun. Then, they will attack the city and catch Zhou Xin off guard!”
"The second goal is to deceive us with tactics. We want Wu County to see that our army is invading Pill Sun and let their guard down!”
"The third goal is the Third Army!”
"There are two purposes for this journey north. The first is to seize Wuhu and Liyang and cut off Zhou Xin's connection with the north!”
"Give him another layer of pressure!"
"The second function is what I said just now. It is to prepare for our surprise attack on Wu County!”
"Once our army has achieved these three goals, Zhou Xin will feel immense pressure and surrender!”
"Secondly, there will be a misunderstanding in the direction of Wu County. They will think that our army is invading Dan Yang and not Wu County, so they will let down their guard!”
"In this way, after our army has reached the strategy of forcing Zhou Xin to land, the conditions for a surprise attack in the direction of Wu County have been met!”
"At that time, our army will suddenly attack Wu County and we will be able to obtain another victory!”
At this point, he looked at Zhou Yu and smiled."
"I wonder if Gongjin can understand what I'm saying?”
"I... This…"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was already in shock.
Of course, he understood Baili Ming's words!
However, he never expected that this move of the military counselor would have so many effects!
On one hand, it was to give Zhou Xin more pressure to force him to land.
On the other hand, it was actually a tactical deception to paralyze Wu County's direction!
In addition to these two aspects, it also laid the foundation for the second step!
This fucking three-way division strategy was played by the military counselor!
A tactic to scheme against the enemies of two counties?
Not only could he understand this mental calculation, but he was also deeply shocked!
After pausing for a while, he said in surprise,
"If that's the case, then I understand. Thank you for your advice, Military Advisor!”
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Ming smiled at Sun Jian and said,"
"My lord, since no one has any objections, then let's march!”
"Good!"
When Sun Jian heard this, he immediately stood up and said with a smile,
"Everyone, our army will march according to the military counselor's plan!”
"Everyone should have understood what the military counselor said just now!”
"Go down and start preparing!"
"We accept your orders!"
As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, everyone stood up and left.
That afternoon, Sun Jian's army crossed the Yangtze River and immediately split into two groups.
Led by Zhao Yun, they headed southeast towards Jingxian.
On the other side was the main force, charging straight for Spring Valley County. After less than a day of intense fighting, the 30,000 strong army had charged into Spring Valley County.
After splitting up again, Sun Jian personally led the 20,000-strong army towards Wanling.
As soon as he entered the Elixir Yang, he acted as if he was a tiger swallowing the Elixir Yang!
