Chapter 582 Chen Deng's Decision

Guangling County, Guangling Port.

Crowds of troops rushed in, and then quickly took over the defense. Standing on the tower and looking at the endless Yangtze River in front of him, Zang Ba felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Now that the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are empty, Xuzhou's troops will surely sweep Danyang, Wu, Kuaiji, and Yuzhang like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.At that time, with the land of the four counties in hand, no matter what changes happened to the situation in the Central Plains, it would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"What do the military advisers think of the scenery of the Yangtze River?"

"Although the scenery is beautiful, it is not my place in Xuzhou"

Chen Deng said worriedly.

When the army came here, it was like an arrow on the bowstring.Once the army goes south, some things will be unavoidable.

What kind of plan does Zhou Mu have in mind?Looking around aimlessly, the end result is death.Isn't he the Lord of Ming?Can't protect Xuzhou for a long time in this troubled world?
In recent years, the situation in the world has changed constantly. The Yellow Turban Uprising, Dong Taishi's chaos in Luoyang, and the disintegration of various places.Once heroes rise up in the north, Guanzhong, and the south, the Central Plains will definitely become the main place of contention.

There are only two ways to break the crisis. First, a hero will appear in the Central Plains, so that the land of the Four Wars can be preserved.Second, Henan, Xu, Chong, Qing four state alliance.Attack the north, Guanzhong and the south respectively.

Obviously the second strategy is unrealistic.

The question came back again, is Zhou Mu the master of the Ming Dynasty?Can he unify the four states of the Central Plains and repel the possible heroes of Guanzhong, the North, and the South?
The answer is obviously no.

The state shepherd is the lord of generosity, but he is not the lord of pioneering, let alone a heroic lord.When the majesty of the court is still there, it is a rare state shepherd, but the absence of the court is not necessarily a good thing for Xuzhou.

"Why did the military master say that?"

"It's too early to draw conclusions hastily before the war begins"

Zang Ba said indifferently.

As a general, he scoffed at the ideas of Chen Deng and others.As long as the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, as long as Xuzhou is strong enough.After capturing Jianye, Jiangnan is at your fingertips.As for their concerns, that is even more groundless.

"Jiangnan is not so easy to fight. With Jia Yuzhang's wisdom, he must have been prepared. I can't wait. If I go straight to the outside of Jianye City, I'm afraid I will get into trouble."

"Is the military division not optimistic about this battle?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but that this battle is unnecessary. At the beginning, Yuan Yuzhou was in a good situation, but in the end, he was seriously injured and lost the land in the south of the Yangtze River? If it wasn't for the gift of Yuzhou from the Yuan family, I'm afraid it would have been a disaster. Dare I ask? General Zang, is my Xuzhou stronger than Yuan Yuzhou?"

Facing Chen Deng's sudden question, Zang Ba was speechless.

How could it be stronger than Yuan Yuzhou, and Xuzhou is not as good as Yuzhou, even after the Yellow Turban looting.But the background of Yuzhou should not be underestimated. For example, when Yuzhou recommended Jia Nian, the prefect of Yuzhang, it didn't take any effort.It must be known that Yuzhang is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the aristocratic families in Yuzhou exerted their strength, and their influence can spread there, which shows the strength of their strength.

"Order of the Lord"

“Ben will have to from”

Zang Ba spoke to Chen Deng after a while, his momentum unknowingly weakened a bit.

I am arrogant and dare not compare my lord with Yuan Yuzhou. Even if Yuan Yuzhou loses Jiangnan, he can make a comeback with the help of the Yuan family.But the lord doesn't have such a background, and Xuzhou doesn't have such a background either.

But what does this have to do with attacking Jiangnan?It can even be said that compared to Yuan Yuzhou, Xuzhou is more urgent to Jiangnan.It is precisely because there is no background that a large rear is needed to stand firm.And this just shows the importance of Jiangnan to Xuzhou.

The godsend opportunity is right in front of you, and it is impossible for you to give up.

Chen Deng watched the expression change on Zang Ba's face, moved his lips, and finally swallowed it.

He sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he couldn't stop him, so he could only plan for the worst.

"The south of the Yangtze River is already empty. It would be a waste of [-] troops to go south. It would be better to give [-] soldiers and horses to my subordinates to guard Guangling Port."

"Divided troops?"

Zang Ba was taken aback for a moment.

Does it make sense to divide the troops at this time?Do you need to divide your troops to fight Jiangnan?Probably too cautious.
"Jiangnan is empty, the main force is far away in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, and the soldiers left behind are also at the junction between Jiangnan and Jiaozhou. Facing the already empty four counties, dividing troops is the best choice."

"Furthermore, Qi and Zheng complement each other. With five thousand soldiers and horses as backup, the general can drive straight into the south of the Yangtze River with ease."

Chen Deng explained.

I don't know why there is always an ominous premonition, maybe this time Xuzhou really did something wrong, maybe it will cause a storm.

The voice lingered in his ears, and Zang Ba frowned.After all, Chen Junshi and Chen Xiaowei are still not optimistic about this battle.Otherwise, why do you always say these things that ruin the morale of our army.

"Forget it, since the military adviser thinks this is more secure, then the general will leave [-] troops to garrison Guangling Port."

"Soldiers are expensive and quick to avoid Jianye's reaction, so they ordered troops to go south"

"As for Guangling Port, it will be handed over to the military division."

Zang Ba said to Chen Deng.

Before he could reply, he raised his voice and yelled at the surroundings.

"come"

"exist"

"Order [-] soldiers and horses, and immediately board the ship and go straight to Jianye"

"promise"

The soldiers guarding behind shouted loudly, and then followed Zang Ba to the tower.

Looking at the distant figure, Chen Deng sighed.
"Why is the military division like this?"

"Xuzhou is in danger"

Listening to the inquiry, Chen Deng spoke softly.

After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers behind the city tower here, and speaking these words as a military adviser must have brought a huge blow to morale.So it's good to pay attention a little bit.

"Why did the military master say that?"

"The yellow turbans of Qingzhou were plundering in the north, and Xuzhou was struggling to support it. Now it has rashly started a war in the south. Once the two sides echo each other, how can Xuzhou survive for a long time? Besides, Jia Yuzhang made a plan and then moved. After occupying Yuzhang for several years, there seems to be no sound. But when it reappeared in front of the world, it was the time when Jiangnan was annexed. Now it is even more in the midst of turning the palm of the hand, letting the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River bow their heads and ears, and lead Yuan Yuzhou to go south, sweeping Jiujiang and Lujiang counties. people fear"

"The military division is suspicious?"

"The soldiers of the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River must be in Jianye, while the soldiers of Shanyue are hidden on the sea not far from the Yangtze River"

"Send a fast boat to inquire about the news. Be sure to ensure the safety of the river between Guangling Port and Jianye Port. Once you find any traces of the enemy, report it immediately."

"promise"

One person bowed and saluted, then turned around and was about to walk down the tower.

Chen Deng looked at his confidant, and quickly added something.

"If things fail to return to this place immediately, I will be ready to give up Guangling County"

"This?"

The man hesitated, is it so serious?They were all ready to give up Guangling.

Chen Deng's face sank, and he gave orders to the man.

"go quickly"

"promise"

The man replied and hurriedly walked downstairs.
