Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Not to mention the other civil and military officials present, even A Dou looked at Li Ji's seal with a face full of trust.

This was the prestige, second only to Liu Bei's in the Liu Bei Group.

A Dou, with the shallowest mind, opened his mouth in a childish voice.

"Master Secretary Jia, I wonder what wonderful plan Regent Father has left behind?"

And it was undoubtedly a statement, indicating that A Dou, as the young master, blindly supported Regent Father's seal.

Regent Father could even temporarily entrust the seal to Jia Xu for safekeeping, so what problems could there be?

With the increase of age, Jia Xu's acting skills have undoubtedly become more and more exquisite.

Facing A Dou's inquiry, Jia Xu's face did not show the slightest hint of complacency, but instead maintained that smiling and harmless appearance, as if he was merely a porter of strategies, and replied.

"Reporting to the young master, according to Zi Kun's intention, the four commanderies of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, and Danyang will definitely unite and hold a meeting in Danyang Commandery, and the meeting place must be in Liyang, and what they will attack first must be Yangxian."

"Therefore, before the rebel army has joined forces, we should quickly conscript the military households under our rule and concentrate our forces in Yangxian!"

A Dou might not have understood, but this did not prevent him from nodding repeatedly.

After hearing this, the others analyzed it and were quite puzzled.

Wujun and Danyang Commandery are fully adjacent to each other, and it is almost inevitable that the rebel army will hold a meeting in Danyang Commandery.

"It is common sense to hold a meeting in Danyang Commandery, but why would it be chosen in Liyang? And why attack Yangxian first?" Jian Yong asked.

Jia Xu pretended to recall for a moment, and then replied.

"Zi Kun seems to have said that the waterways in Jiangdong are well-developed and connected everywhere, and Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, and Pengli Lake are all connected by waterways and rivers."

"The four commanderies will have more than 100,000 troops, and it will definitely be difficult to support them with only one commandery. Only by concentrating the strength of the four commanderies can the supply line be maintained."

"But if relying on manpower to transport, coupled with the fact that the official roads in the other four commanderies are old and dilapidated, making passage difficult, it will also be difficult to maintain the transportation of grain to Danyang Commandery for a long time. Therefore, we can only rely on waterways and rivers to transport grain by boats."

"Liyang is located in the middle section of the Lishui River and is connected to Chaohu Lake and Pengli Lake. The troops and grain of each commandery can be transported to Liyang through waterways, and in Liyang, they only need to go down the river to reach Yangxian. If Yangxian is captured, they will reach Taihu Lake!"

"Once Taihu Lake is occupied, the rebel soldiers can attack the cities around Taihu Lake, including Wuxian, and retreat quickly along the Lishui River back to Danyang Commandery."

(PS: Lishui is one of the tributaries of the Qinhuai River. Of course, it is not called the Qinhuai River at this time, it should be called the Huai River.)

As soon as this remark came out, many people present showed a look of sudden realization, and they analyzed the current situation that Wujun was about to face clearly.

It was not that the Anti-Wu Allied Army could not attack other directions of Wujun, but based on the union of the four commanderies of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, and Danyang, they could only hold a meeting in Liyang, and then go down the river to attack Yangxian and Taihu Lake.

Once Yangxian is captured and Taihu Lake is occupied, then the entire northern part of Wujun will mean that most of it has fallen, and the Anti-Wu Allied Army will be able to attack the city in any direction of Taihu Lake at will.

The Anti-Wu Allied Army has many troops, while Wujun has few troops, and with the initiative advantage of being able to attack in all directions in Taihu Lake at any time, the only result for Wujun will be being exhausted.

In contrast, there is absolutely no such advantage for the Anti-Wu Allied Army to attack from other directions.

Especially in the situation where Liu Bei will definitely return to aid quickly once the war starts, the Anti-Wu Allied Army will definitely not dare to drag the war on for a long time, but want to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision.

So it is not that the Anti-Wu Allied Army can only attack Yangxian, but that they want to quickly capture Wujun, they can only attack Yangxian.

"Looking at it this way, the rebel soldiers will definitely attack Yangxian!"

"Mr. Zi Kun is really predicting the enemy from a thousand miles away. Those villains have not yet had evil intentions, but he already knows their actions, alas... I am ashamed of myself!"

"Why sigh? Mr. Zi Kun left behind a wonderful plan, which will surely bury those villains in Lishui..."

Listening to the sound of discussion, Jia Xu's mood became more complicated.

This was Jia Xu's analysis of the movements of the Anti-Wu Allied Army based on the information fed back by the Brocade-Clothed Guards, combined with the terrain and rivers of Jiangdong, and the influence of all aspects.

This gave Jia Xu the feeling that Li Ji went out to play, and he had to stay at home to help him make wedding clothes...

"Cough cough..."

Jia Xu, who really couldn't listen anymore, coughed a few times, and then said with a serious face.

"It seems that you have no objections, then next, I will issue orders on behalf of Zi Kun."

The display of the commandery secretary's seal, coupled with this clear analysis of the situation, undoubtedly made everyone believe in Jia Xu.

Immediately, everyone almost responded in unison.

"We are willing to obey Mr. Zi Kun's orders."

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said. "Immediately conscript military households from each commandery to go to Yangxian, in addition to this, half of the garrison soldiers from each city will also be transferred..."

"Let Xu Sheng go to Yangxian to serve as the main general and lead the soldiers..."

"The navy and cavalry will be handed over to Gan Ning..."

Immediately, Jia Xu, who already had strategies in his mind, directly began to deploy troops and generals.

Although there were some strange things about this deployment of troops and generals, with Li Ji's seal here, everyone did not show any objections and obeyed the orders to prepare.

......

At the same time, the troops of the four commanderies of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, and Danyang, just as Jia Xu had expected, were rapidly converging towards Liyang from various directions along the unique and well-developed waterways of Jiangdong.

The commandery governors of these four commanderies led their confidants to arrive in Liyang first to discuss the major event of the alliance.

Although in this "Anti-Wu Allied Army", the Yangzhou aristocratic families contributed greatly, providing manpower and food, the main force was undoubtedly the commandery governors of the four commanderies.

Otherwise, relying only on the dead soldiers, retainers, and servants of the aristocratic families, it would be impossible to threaten Wujun at all.

Among the four commandery governors, Zhou Xin, the commandery governor of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the commandery governor of Jiujiang, were brothers, born in the Zhou family of Kuaiji, and had a deep blood feud with Liu Bei.

Previously, after secretly controlling Kuaiji Commandery, Li Ji instructed Jia Xu to use Guo Yi's hand to massively cleanse and suppress those aristocratic families in Kuaiji Commandery who exploited the people, in preparation for Liu Bei to openly take over Kuaiji Commandery in the future.

The Zhou family of Kuaiji was one of the targets of the cleansing.

And because it was borrowed from Guo Yi's name, Jia Xu acted almost without any mercy, and directly washed the Zhou family of Kuaiji clean.

Only Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang, the two brothers, were studying outside and escaped the disaster.

When Zhou Xin and Zhou Ang learned of this news, the originally lush Zhou family of Kuaiji was left with only the two of them.

And originally Zhou Xin thought that the death of the whole family was just an accident, until he accidentally met Xu You...

Zhou Xin traveled to Luoyang when he was young and studied under Chen Fan. He had friendships with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others. Xu You naturally knew him.

It was also from Xu You's mouth that Zhou Xin learned that Kuaiji Commandery had actually fallen into Liu Bei's hands.

In this way, how could Zhou Xin not understand that under the surface of the seemingly accidental military disaster and the killing of the whole family, there was still a hidden truth.
