    Although Zhuge Liang questioned his strategy of quick victory in person, Liu Ke was not angry.

    Because he needs such a loyal minister to stop his hot-headed actions in time.

    So Liu Ke looked at Zhuge Liang with interest and motioned for the other person to continue talking.

    Liu Ke doesn¡¯t mind changing his mind as long as his reasons satisfy him.

    So, Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and then said all his thoughts.

    "Your Majesty, because there is the Han River in front of Xiangyang, Xian Mountain behind it, and there is a strong city defense. It can even be connected to the lower reaches through the Han River.

    Liqiu, Zhonglu, Yiguo and Yicheng in the lower reaches can continuously supply materials to Xiangyang through waterways.

    So if you want to leave Xiangyang quickly, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not very possible.

    In my opinion, we should first make full use of our naval superiority to control the entire Han River and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and other places.

    This will first cut off supplies from all over the country. No matter how much reserves there are in Xiangyang City, they will not be enough for the nearly 100,000 troops to use them for a long time.

    And with the naval blockade, the opponent who lost the warship could not respond, so he could only huddle up and defend in the city.

    "In this way, our army can attack the surrounding areas at will and take all the surrounding cities into our own hands.

    When the time comes, the other party will be isolated and helpless, and coupled with the lack of supplies in the city, they will have no choice but to surrender obediently!

    Compared with a strong attack, this strategy only consumes more food and grass, but it can keep countless soldiers safe.  Please His Majesty¡¯s Holy Judgment!  "

    When Liu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang's statement.

    He then asked patiently: "In Kong Ming's opinion, where should I choose as my first target?"

    "Longzhong!"

    Zhuge Liang said it categorically.

    Under Liu Ke¡¯s doubts, Zhuge Liang continued to explain: ¡°Your Majesty, please look at the position of our army at the moment, right in the middle of Longzhong and Xiangyang.

    Rather than attacking the fortified Xiangyang, it is better to capture Longzhong first.  Otherwise, you will be in danger of being attacked from both sides.

    In addition, Longzhong was originally the place where Sun Ce stored his food, grass and baggage. Instead of leaving it to the other side, we should use it first!

    Moreover, Longzhong is located upstream of Xiangyang. After our army obtains it, it can be used as a stronghold, and we can move down the river to attack Xiangyang at any time.

    These three points should be enough to convince Your Majesty!  "

    "Hahahaha! Kong Ming is indeed my think tank, these three points are enough! Let's do surgery on Longzhong tomorrow!"

    Liu Ke made a decisive decision immediately, and then arranged for the generals to act separately.

    Early the next morning, unexpectedly, Liu Ke had not sent out troops yet, but received news that the enemy troops were coming.

    When he heard it clearly, he couldn't help but laugh.

    Because the visiting enemy army did not come from the direction of Xiangyang, but from Longzhong.

    It turns out that after the battle that lasted all day yesterday, Longzhong had not left the city to retreat from the enemy because of the serious stakes.

    It wasn¡¯t until early this morning that I heard that there was less noise outside, and I finally had the courage to go out of the city to check the specific battle situation.

    Longzhong's general named Dong Xi led eight thousand soldiers and horses to investigate the enemy's situation. Before he arrived, he alerted Liu Ke's scouts outside.

    After Liu Ke got the news, he immediately sent Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to meet him.

    Zhang Liao quickly attacked and stopped Dong Xi as soon as he arrived at Daqi Mountain.

    "Zhang Liao is here, please tell me your name!"

    "I am the general Dong Xiye. If you are afraid of death, get out of the way!"

    Dong Xi is also a fierce general. Although he saw the enemy coming so suddenly, his expression remained unchanged.

    Zhang Liao naturally couldn't get out of the way, but rushed forward directly.

    He swung the big knife in his hand and slashed directly at Dong Xi's head.

    Dong Xi was startled when he saw the opponent coming so quickly, and hurried forward to attack him. The two immediately fell into a fierce fight.

    Dong Xi had heard of Zhang Liao's reputation before and knew that this man was a formidable opponent, so he dealt with him very carefully.

    When Zhang Liao fought Dong Xi again, he also discovered that although this man was not well-known before, he was a sharp shooter and brave in combat. He was indeed a difficult opponent.

    So, a battle between dragons and tigers started at the foot of Daqi Mountain, and the two fought for hundreds of rounds.

    Still unable to do anything to the opponent, but unwilling to let go easily, he returned to the formation to rest for a while and come back to fight again.

    butWhat Dong Xi didn't know was that all this turned out to be a conspiracy.

    It turns out that Zhang Liao¡¯s mission was to hold the opponent back and attract Dong Xi¡¯s attention.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, if the whole army were sent out, would not his mere eight thousand troops be wiped out in an instant?

    While Dong Xi was in a stalemate with Zhang Liao, Gan Ning had quietly led his navy upstream.

    Although Longzhong is not close to the Han River, precisely because of this, there are no defenders on the river bank.

    And there was a flat area between Longzhong and the Han River. After Gan Ning arrived, he easily boarded the shore and quietly went to Longzhong.

    At this moment, the guard of Longzhong Nei is named Zhou Bo. He was originally a bandit, but he was surrendered by Dong Xi and followed him.

    It has been more than an hour since Dong Xi left Longzhong, but there is still no movement.

    So Zhou Bo, who was standing on the top of the city, was pacing back and forth, feeling anxious.

    At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran out of the city.

    This man was dressed like a Jingzhou soldier and horse, so the guards were naturally not surprised.

    I saw the man panting and saying: "General, General, General Dong was marching ten miles and was suddenly surrounded by enemy troops. The situation is critical at this moment.

    I hope the general will send troops to rescue him quickly!  "

    When Zhou Bo heard this, he was instantly startled and hurriedly asked the man for details.

    The man responded quickly, and there was no flaw in everything.

    Therefore, Zhou Bo finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately forgot what Dong Xi had told him to hold on to the city before leaving.

    Because although Zhou Bo is unknown, he also knows the word loyalty.

    ¡°I was captured by Dong Xi as a bandit, and I should have been executed according to the law, but Dong Xi gave me a chance to survive.

    At this moment, it is time for you to repay the other party.

    So Zhou Bo didn't even ask about the specific number of enemy troops, but only asked for the specific location, and then immediately led the defenders in the city to rush out.

    In fact, the total number of defenders is only 3,000.

    Zhou Bo and his troops had just marched into a dense forest when a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out of the forest.

    Because this place is still some distance away from the location mentioned by the reporter, Zhou Bo did not react at first.

    However, just when he was in a trance, the opponent's soldiers and horses had already arrived in front of him.

    I saw a tall man with a beard walking in front of the soldiers and horses, holding a big sword and running towards me.

    Zhou Bo was still trying to figure out the identity of the visitor, and even forgot to be on guard. Even his soldiers didn¡¯t have time to react.

    The man rushed towards him and finally shouted: "General, do you recognize me, Gan Ning?"

    Before he finished speaking, the sword in his hand was already slashing at Zhou Bo!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
