In the nearly 20 years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Yi has brought a lot of changes to this era, raising the status of merchants, promoting the development of agricultural production, and gradually changing the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the outside world. As far as military affairs are concerned, he also has more creations, the innovation of the bombardment cannon, the promotion of infantry artillery coordination tactics, and the invention of various new equipment, but the most important thing in Langsheng's heart is the Flying Tiger Army, which will be an important support for the Han Dynasty to go to the world in the future.

Before Liu Yi, the only attempt at the sea may have been the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang, but Xu Fu's fleet was lost due to strong winds, although this did not erase the merits of Ying Zheng, but the success of reaching the island in this life to promote population exchange drove Liu Yi to surpass the Qin Emperor in this regard. Unlike almost all people in the Han Dynasty, Langsheng's vision will never be limited to the inland, and the sea route will eventually be his future development direction.

And in addition to Liu Yi himself, who plays a vital role in this, I have to mention Gan Ning Gan Xingba, now I think about it, the meeting between the two in the market more than 20 years ago seems to be a fateful arrangement, God gave Lang Sheng a king of water warfare, and Liu Yi used his influence to make this king's vision and bearing beyond this era. Under the leadership of Xingba, a large number of talents who are proficient in sea ships have emerged in the Flying Tiger Army, among which the most famous person is Zhang Rong, who arrived on Wadao, and the Xiongshan Li brothers, who practiced lone wolf tactics in Jiaozhou, are also among the leaders.

These people were all the companions of the Ganning Jianghai Village, the eldest Xiong Shan was good at observing the direction of water flow, the second Xiong Shan Ya was good at boating, and the eldest Xiong Shan Li was both the strengths of the two brothers, not only good at water warfare but also influenced by the command of land warfare in Youzhou Academy. In this battle of Jiaozhou, he led thousands of soldiers under his command to fight vigorously in the face of more than 10,000 men and horses under Zhu Huan, the general of Jingnan, and played the essence of guerrilla warfare summarized by Liu Yi when he advanced and retreated.

The outcome of the negotiation depends on the difference in strength between the two sides and the bargaining chips in their hands, after Liu Yun and Sun Ce's initial contact was not smooth, Liu Yi had the idea of giving a blow to it, coinciding with the battle of Jingxiang, Xiaobawang concentrated the elite of the whole army in this intention to unite Cao Cao and the Han army, the empty Jiaozhou is available for the Han army, as a master of the art of war, Liu Yi will never let go of any opportunity to strike the enemy if the strategy allows, With Sun Ce and Zhou Yu concentrating on the battle situation with Jingxiang, opening up the situation in Jiaozhou is the best tactic to deal with Sun Bofu! Perhaps his implementation was much earlier than Liu Yi expected, but the current situation was exactly what the Han army needed.

The Xiong brothers launched a surprise attack in Jiaozhou on the order of the Son of Heaven, which can be said to have hit Sun Ce's soft underbelly, although the Jingnan army is not defenseless here, their thinking can definitely not be called a complete defense, of course, it is obviously too harsh to blame Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others for not planning carefully enough, it is difficult for anyone to expect to land a large number of troops around the coastline for thousands of miles in this era, this is beyond their imagination, except for Liu Yi, who can do it at this time?

There are 15,000 Jingnan soldiers led by Zhu Huan in Jiaozhou, and the number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the Xiong brothers is only 5,000, and the number of regular troops will not exceed 2,000. However, considering the strong combat power of the Han army and the broad depth of Jiaozhou, this advantage is difficult to be used in actual combat, Xiong Shanli will never fight Zhu Huan head-on before the strength of the army is not dominant, the essence of the lone wolf tactic is to bite off the opponent's flesh and blood, and only give a fatal blow when it is covered in bruises! Jiaozhou Fangding's people were unstable for a long time, and the Jingnan army needed to defend a lot of points, which made it difficult for them to concentrate their forces to fight the Han army, and also provided convenient conditions for the exercise of lone wolf tactics, which was the advantage of the Han army.

Guerrilla harassment will become the theme of the battle of Jiaozhou for a long time, and it may be that the actual results that Xiong Shanli can achieve and the number of enemies destroyed will not be very large, but the psychological pressure on the enemy army by burning the flames of war to the enemy's hinterland is not trivial! Since the Han army could transport thousands of people to Jiaozhou, the possibility of another 10,000 people could not be ruled out, which would make Sun Ce inevitably interfere when Jingxiang dispatched troops, and for Liu Yi, the goal was achieved.

Cao Cao valued the battle of Yong'an Guandao and did not hesitate to risk weakening the defense of Xiangyang and sent the Qingzhou battalion to strengthen the offensive here again, the hero saw the same thing, Liu Yi's vision was also here, for the needs of the overall battle situation, he would not care about the gains and losses of a force, even if it was the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers! It sounds quite cruel, but it is a necessary way for a soldier, and it is a quality that a commander and an emperor must have! It can be that the current situation is not to the point of abandoning soldiers in exchange for overall interests, as long as the command is appropriate, I believe that Jingxiang's place will be a complete victory.

After the brigade passed through Yanzhou, the speed of the marching army of the Son of Heaven immediately increased a lot, and Liu Yi made the same choice as his son Liu Xin, leading the pro-guard battalion to leave the brigade and go directly to Xiangyang! As a commander and emperor, Liu Yi does not need to be calm and calm all the time, but in addition to this, the battlefield is also a place to show his pride and blood, from the beginning of the army, every battle can make Lang Sheng excited, the more the war, the more so, not to mention that the battle in front of him will complete his wish to dominate the world, and the passion in his heart is even stronger at this moment.

Of course, the reinforcements sent by Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others to Gao Shun will not only be Fan Chou and Liu Xin, but Cao Ren did block the mixed troops of Huaxiong Xiliang Camp and Zhang Yan's Yellow Shirt Army after advancing in the Bingzhou camp! Cao army relied on the power of the terrain in a very short period of time to build a solid defense line to block the Han army back, at this time the deployment of additional troops to break the enemy in front of it is not an impossible strategy, but in the eyes of the ghost and poison man, this is with the enemy's movement is not the best policy, the enemy army shot they also want to attack it must be saved, Zhao Yun ordered Tai Shi Ci's Beiping Army, Zhang Yan's Yellow Shirt Army The main force of the Yellow Shirt Army all left Jiangling and went to Xiangyang City to assemble, intending to break the city in one fell swoop!

Taking Cao Cao is equivalent to winning the overall situation, this truth is simple, since the other party has arrived here, the Han army's move is a show of determination, and the gathering of all armies in one place also suppresses the opportunity for the other party to fight back to the greatest extent! On the day when Taishi Ci left the camp, more than ten miles southwest of it, the figure of the Cao army of Xiahoudun's department had already appeared, and Sun Ce was a step slower in response because of the military situation of the Jiaozhou Rebellion, and failed to cooperate with Xiahoudun's army.

Tai Shi Ci changed the direction of the attack, but also left a trap for Xiahou Dun, if the other party pursues Wen Chou's heavy cavalry battalion will cooperate with the Beiping army to give the other party a heavy blow, but this time Xiahou Yuan Rang also behaved very alertly, although he did not know the location of the Han army's heavy cavalry battalion, but the intuitive danger made him stop the pace of advance, but steadily and slowly received the main force of the Jiangling defenders out of the city, far behind Tai Shi Ci, once the other party launched a general attack on Xiangyang, he could be contained! Sun Ce advanced slightly and came to a place ten miles west of Jiangling City to prevent the Han army from returning to the horse gun!

In addition, Zhao Yun even gave a death order to the civilian team accompanying the army, and transported the materials to the place where the Yong'an official road was fighting at all costs, and he must not let Gao Shun's troops lose their combat strength because of this! At the same time, Zhang Yan's Yellow Shirt Army was dispatched to reinforce the Liaodong Army, while the Agni Army of Liyi was divided into two on the march, the main force continued to march west to threaten Jiangling while monitoring Sun Ce's movements, and the other more than 10,000 men and horses advanced lightly to take over the responsibilities of the Yellow Shirt Army. In the face of Sun Cejun's numerical superiority, Lu Yi was not afraid, and behind him was still followed by the 8,000 Jizhou cavalry led by the general Yan Liang, with the Flying Tiger Army and Gao Lan's Swift Wind Army in hand, Gan Ning also mobilized all his forces to reinforce the Jingxiang battlefield.

During this period of time, the Han army and Cao army were constantly mobilizing, except for the fighting sound of Yong'an official road never stopped, and the rest of the places did not fight, but such mutual mobilization to seize the opportunity is tantamount to fighting without a fight, the two sides are like two martial arts masters, constantly changing positions and tricks to fight for the favorable side to hit each other's weak points! At least for the time being, the Jingxiang battle situation can be described as a defeat and a stubborn attack, but the momentum of an all-out war has become more and more clear.

It was not unacceptable for Cao Cao to continue the current situation, both sides adjusted their men and horses to the best condition before fighting, relying on the water network in Jingxiang would greatly limit the Han army's huge advantage in cavalry, and with Sun Ce's assistance, the Han army would definitely be able to fight. However, this assumption is based on the fact that the war is only Jingxiang all the way, if Cao Cao really continues this state, Zhao Yun and the others will definitely be happy to see it, even if Yong'an Guandao suffers heavy losses, because the results of the Han army in Shu will make up for all the losses here.

In Cao Cao's heart, the best outcome of the battle in front of him was that he and Sun Ce joined forces to thwart the Han army's attack on Xiangyang, even if it was only the remaining county, it was a great constraint on the other party, and the other went all out to defeat Gao Shun's Liaodong army that blocked Cao's retreat at the official road of Yong'an. But it is obvious that even in the hearts of the most optimistic people about Cao Cao, the probability of these situations is not large, and it is even more slim to meet the requirements at the same time, so Cao Jun must make adjustments first, such a situation The first mover may not be the first to control people, and the late mover has a great advantage!
