Zhou Xing said: "The coastline is so long, we don't know where the Liaodong soldiers will land."

"Don't they land at Jinkou?" Guan Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Since they are coming to attack, they must have sent people to investigate in advance. If our troops leave the city, the enemy soldiers will definitely expect that we have set up an ambush at Jinkou, so how can we land at Jinkou?"

Guan Yu paused for a moment and then asked: "They have so many troops and horses. If they don't land at Jinkou, how can they transport grain, grass and baggage?"

When soldiers and horses go to war over long distances, they must use ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages to transport grain, grass and baggage. However, roads that can drive vehicles are not available everywhere. Generally, the seaside with Jinkou can only connect to the highway.

If you land on any coast, people can go up, but it will be difficult to take away food and supplies.

These Liaodong soldiers and horses did not come to plunder and then leave, but to attack the city and seize the stronghold. They must have brought a lot of food, grass and baggage with them.

Zhou Xingying said: "What if they land from somewhere else and come to seize Jinkou? Then we may be attacked or besieged by them."

"Then how do you want to resist the enemy?" Guan Yu's face remained angry.

"Yes, military advisor, what my second brother said is inappropriate, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Fei originally wanted to speak for Guan Yu, but as soon as the words came out, Guan Yu's face became even more ugly.

That is Zhou Xing, if someone else had refuted Guan Yu like this, Zhang Fei would have scolded him long ago.

After listening to Zhou Xing's words, Liu Bei felt that there was some truth in what he said and said, "Military advisor, tell me."

"Let the Liaodong troops land safely at Jinkou." Zhou Xing glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, smiled slightly, and continued, "Guan Xiaowei, Zhang Xiaowei, with you two here, we have another six thousand troops.

It is not difficult at all to repel these Liaodong soldiers."

Zhou Xing's words made Guan Yu's gloomy expression soften a lot, but he still looked at him slightly angrily.

"Hey, the military advisor is right. With me and my second brother here, even if those Liaodong soldiers arrive at the city, we can easily repel them."

Zhang Fei made another move, which was equivalent to agreeing with Zhou Xing and rejecting Guan Yu's proposal.

"No." Liu Bei said urgently at this time, "If the Liaodong soldiers are allowed to enter the city, the people will surely suffer!"

"Yes, Military Advisor Zhou, how can we defeat the enemy?"

Li Ye, a meritorious official, was as worried as Liu Bei that the Liaodong soldiers would harm the people of Donglai, so he quickly asked Zhou Xing.

Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others also looked at Zhou Xing, waiting for him to tell him how to retreat from the enemy.

Zhou Xing inspected everyone and said calmly: "It is known that the sea-going ship built by Gongsun Du could ferry 5,000 people at a time. Later, when he heard that we had wiped out the bandits in Donglai, he recruited 5,000 more soldiers and sent 10,000 soldiers.

The horses are coming to attack, so Liaodong’s soldiers and horses will definitely cross the sea in two groups."

"We can build a fortification and camp ten miles away from Jinkou to block the only way out of Jinkou, so that the Liaodong soldiers and horses can safely cross the sea and land, but they cannot go deep into the hinterland of Donglai. At the same time, in order to protect the ferry from being burned by us, they

You must not dare to stay away easily, so you can only lead your troops to fight us."

"If we fight, with the courage of Captain Guan and Captain Zhang, we will be able to repel the enemy soldiers. Even if the Liaodong soldiers don't want to fight, they can wait until they run out of food and retreat."

"Yongce." Guan Yu shook his head repeatedly and looked at Zhou Xing with disdain, "Even if the Liaodong soldiers and horses were to land at the entrance, why not attack them when the first batch of soldiers and horses landed, but hide ten miles away?

Let all their troops land? Build a camp and defend it, not daring to attack, but waiting quietly for the enemy soldiers to attack. Doesn't that make us cowardly?"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Xing laughed suddenly, "Guan Xiaowei, you are right. I just want others to see that this is a mediocre policy and that we are timid."

Everyone was confused and didn't know what happened to the Zhou military advisor. They all looked at him strangely.

Only Liu Bei seemed to understand and nodded secretly.

"Guan Xiaowei, do you know how many cavalry there are in the attack from Liaodong?" Zhou Xing looked at Guan Yu and asked.

Guan Yu shook his head: "I don't know."

"One thousand, one thousand cavalry will have a thousand horses, and their cavalry will be transported across the sea in the second batch. If we attack the first batch of troops when they land, how can we capture their horses?

”

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up. When he heard the intelligence, he knew that there were a thousand cavalry among the troops in Liaodong, but he did not expect that Zhou's military advisor would actually take a fancy to these horses.

Even if you can't get all of a thousand war horses, you can get three hundred. No, as long as you can get a hundred, it will be like getting a treasure.

However, Liu Bei was also worried. Almost all of his soldiers were infantry, and there were a thousand cavalry in Liaodong. He was afraid that he would not be able to defeat these cavalry.

Liu Bei was from Youzhou and had fought with Gongsun Zan against Yuan Shao, so he naturally knew the power of cavalry.

"Does the military counselor have any strategy for dealing with the cavalry?"

According to Liu Bei's understanding of Zhou's military advisor, he must have a countermeasure in place.

Guan Yu remained silent and turned his head aside, not looking at Zhou Xing. At the same time, he was waiting to hear the young strategist's strategy for dealing with the cavalry.

Although Guan Yu is not afraid of these cavalry with his strength, the opponent has a thousand cavalry after all. How many can he kill! His own soldiers are basically infantry. In a confrontation, the three thousand infantry are not enough to charge the one thousand cavalry.

Zhou Xing smiled lightly and said: "My lord, Guan Xiaowei, do you know that at the end of the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Bogui fought at the Jizhou boundary bridge?"

Liu Bei nodded: "I know."

Although he was not in Gongsun Zan's army at that time, he had heard about this battle.

"At that time, Gongsun Bogui had tens of thousands of cavalry, but he was defeated in the end because Yuan Shao had a strategy to defeat the cavalry. What the cavalry feared most was the crossbow arrows that could attack from a distance. Yuan Shao was hiding his crossbowmen under the shield, waiting for the opponent's cavalry.

When they charge forward, only a thousand crossbows must be fired at the same time to defeat Gongsun. Previously, I asked the lord to make crossbows and train five hundred crossbowmen, just to prepare for today."

Liu Bei nodded frequently. He had known about this for a long time, but he had never kept it in mind. Unexpectedly, Military Advisor Zhou actually knew about it and used it for his own purposes.

No wonder when he first arrived in Donglai, Zhou's military advisor persuaded him to make more crossbows and asked Guan Yu to train five hundred crossbowmen. It turned out to be to deal with the cavalry.

Even Guan Yu was secretly impressed at this time, but he still had a gloomy face and did not look good on Zhou Xing.

Jian Yong and others did not know much about the Battle of Jieqiao, nor did they know much about military affairs, but they could see from the expressions on the faces of Liu Bei and Guan Yu that what Zhou Military Advisor said was indeed useful.

Zhang Fei smiled again and said: "I knew that Military Advisor Zhou must have a clever plan. Brother, when we fight against the Liaodong soldiers, if you ask me to lead the crossbowmen, I will shoot down all the Liaodong cavalry!"

"You are only allowed to shoot people, not horses." Zhou Xing said with a smile.

"Hahaha, of course, I want to get all the horses back."
