When he woke up, Guo Shao found that there was a bright hall around him, and he didn't know where the time was.The morning exercises in the army were very early, obviously it had passed, and even the sound of drums and trumpets woke him up, and he slept until now.

He hurriedly sat up and turned to look at Zhou Xian lying beside him.She was also awakened by Guo Shao, looking at him with a lazy and tired look on her face. After a moment, she realized something and felt ashamed.

I have to meet the soldiers immediately.Guo Shao slapped his forehead and said, "This is in the military camp. I'm really wrong. I've actually slept until now."

He quickly got up and put on his clothes. After a while of turmoil, he finally calmed down and turned to Zhou Xian and said kindly: Don’t think too much, I’m so busy, I have a way to deal with everything.Now I have to go to the Central Army tent first and leave first.

etc.Zhou Xian called out softly, come over.

She then touched a silk squid from the pillow, turned to see a cup of cold tea in the iron cup next to her, and then dipped it gently in the water. When Guo Shao walked up to her, she sat up and wiped off a rouge lip mark on Guo Shao's neck with a shy look on her face.

When Guo Shao saw the red marks rubbed on the silk handkerchief, his heart was beautiful.

Then I'll leave first.Guo Shao spoke again, his tone became gentler.

Before he could wash up, he just left the tent and saw a civil servant walking outside with his hands behind his back. He was looking up at the snow floating in the sky.There were also some snowflakes on the cloth robe.

King and envoy.Guo Shao called out and said in surprise, I heard that you came today, but I didn’t expect that the King of Envoy was so early.

Wang Pu turned around and bowed calmly to Guo Shao.

So on the snow, the old and the strong men worship each other in a manner.

Wang Pu then said simply: I set off before dawn, so I arrived early.Something happened... He paused, let's find a place to talk about it.

Go to the Central Army’s tent.Guo Shaodao, walking side by side with Wang Pu, asked again, "How long have you been waiting for the King of Envoys?"

Wang Pu said: I just arrived for a while.

The two walked into the empty central army tent, and Wang Pu sat down and said: "Wankou came to report, Hukou Zhu Lingyun's army has been dispatched and is approaching Wankou.

When Guo Shao heard this, his originally relaxed mood immediately tightened. He immediately picked up a ruler from the table and measured the drawings on the wooden board next to him. Zhu Lingyun shrank in the early stage and delayed his troops.Now that Jiangzhou (Jiujiang) is besieged by our army, and the back road is in danger, why do you suddenly become flexible?

Wang Pu said: According to the Ankou Inquiry, it was probably because of the regent of the Guangzhengyuan of Jiangning Prefecture, Chen Qiao, who was assisted in the administration of the Guangzhengyuan of Jiangning Prefecture, rushed to Nandu (Nanchang), met Li Jing, who was seriously ill, and obtained the power to control the troops in Nandu and other places.

Chen Qiao... Guo Shao turned around and said, let’s go inside and talk.Lu Chengyong went to call General Li, General Shi, and Mr. Zuo.

Look.Lu Chengyong at the door responded with his fists.

Because some of Guo Shao's characters, terrain, and intuitive drawings of deployment were placed in the room behind the big tent, the discussion came here instead.

Soon, Li Chuyun and others also came in one after another, and Wang Pu told them about the military situation again.

The naval ships in Ankou were unbearable to fight and their troops were weak. If the main force of the Hukou army in the Southern Tang Kingdom was dispatched, it would be difficult for Ankou to block it; then along the river eastward, there was also a part of our navy in Chizhou, which was equally weak and could only serve as an early warning.The Southern Tang army went down the river. If the speed was slightly faster, it would threaten our army's navy and ferry crossings at the quarry.Guo Shao narrated briefly.

Hukou, Wankou, Chizhou Shuizhai and Caiquarry are all place names along the Yangtze River, from west to east in turn.

Li Chuyun also said: The navy of the Southern Tang Kingdom in Jingkou (Zhenjiang) is also very powerful. If it is deployed properly, seize the fighter jets of the Hukou Navy's Arrivals from the east; our quarrying navy will face the situation of being attacked from front and back, with few enemies.The military affairs of the Southern Tang Kingdom have always paid attention to the navy, and their combat power is not weaker than that of the Great Zhou army's navy... Or, we originally planned to launch the Jingkou Water War in the near future, and we could not make a decisive battle and make a quick decision; the enemy in Hukou broke through the western water defense line and appeared on the back of our army.We will also face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Guo Shao estimated the distance between each section on the picture and paced back and forth two steps in front of the bench. Chen Qiao... didn't expect this to happen at a critical moment.

Li Chuyun looked back at the tent. It was cold and it was snowing in the sky, so it was not suitable for sending troops.

Fortunately, the Yangtze River will not freeze.Guo Shao pondered.

The original combat plan of the Zhou army center was to join forces with the Hantong Navy on the Caokui near Guazhoudu to attack the enemy troops in Jingkou on both sides.

The purpose of the battle was to eliminate the surface power of the Southern Tang Army on the eastern front and completely control the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

This is a tough battle, because the Hantong troops were blocked in the canal and could not enter the river; in the early stage, Guo Shao fired smoke bombs through various feint attacks and intimidation, which made the Southern Tang Kingdom mistakenly believe that the capital would be threatened in the near future, so he prepared to wait for the right weather and fighter jets to launch a battle...

The Hukou army went down the river, adding variables to the battle; because the Zhou army was placed in the east, the strength of the Navy of Chuyun's troops was also limited, and Han Tong's navy transferred from Tokyo could not pass.

In this way, the battle between Beijing and the mouth is full of hidden dangers of being attacked from both sides.

Wang Pu said: Chen Qiao is a civil servant and is not familiar with military affairs. He cannot have military generals to follow him.I think even if he is a wise minister, it will be difficult for him to deploy this battle by himself.It was also because of his previous relationship that he was able to see Li Jing who was seriously ill.

Guo Shao said: What the King Envoy said is extremely true, I thought so just now.After all, Chen Qiao is a civil servant and has never had the experience of leading troops. Isn’t it easy to face such a large front for the first time?

Wang Pu said: Zhu Lingyun is also a qualified general. He was originally the governor of Zhennan. According to the situation of the Southern Tang Kingdom, it is unlikely that he could easily seize his military power.So I boldly speculate that Chen Qiao was just urging and putting pressure on this battle, and it was Zhu Lingyun who decided to decide how to fight this battle.

Guo Shao turned around and looked at the name of the person stuck to the wooden board.

He said: Chen Qiao left Jiangning City, so the military power deployed by Liu Cheng in the east of the Southern Tang Kingdom should be more stable; the only one who dares to attack Liu Cheng is probably Chen Qiao.Liu Cheng is a fool, and staying in Jingkou is beneficial to our army.

His eyes swept across Shi Yanchao and others, and they didn't express their opinions. Shi Yanchao was not very interested in water war, and Li Chuyun waited for Guo Shao's attitude.

Guo Shao and Wang Pu looked at each other, and Wang Pu nodded slightly: I and General Guo should have the same idea, and they will still launch a war of words in Beijing, but now they need to be quick.

First, I ordered Ankou to bluff around the river and intimidate the Southern Tang army.Try your best to hold the enemy!Guo Shao immediately said that he would also find ways to block the delay when bringing a letter to Luo Yanhuan in Chizhou. He could bear the opportunity for the Jinggu war.
