The Yellow River is a natural risk, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The water of the river is turbid, the current is turbulent, but it is not insurmountable, on the Yellow River, there are many fishermen fishing for a living, and there are a lot of ferries ferrying back and forth, which is convenient for business travel on both sides of the strait.

However, if the enemy gathers heavy forces on the opposite bank and defends it to the death, then it will become quite difficult to land on the beach.

Therefore, this river crossing operation must be unaware of the ghosts in order to have a chance of success.

According to the current information, the main battlefield of the Huns has been transferred to Jizhou and Hanoi, and the number of troops left in Bingzhou is not much, and the current Xiongnu soldiers in the area of the defending army are only about 1,000 people, which undoubtedly greatly improves the success rate of the Shu army in crossing the river.

Moreover, the Huns are deployed along the river, more than 1,000 people have to guard the river section of dozens of miles, and the troops are even more scattered.

Obviously, the Huns did not attach much importance to the threat from Hexi, when Qi Wannian crossed eastward, the Shu army took advantage of the situation to advance eastward, and the troops arrived at the Yellow River, which made the Huns a little nervous, for fear that the Shu army would continue to pursue and cross the Yellow River, so they gathered heavy troops on the east bank of the Yellow River to stand by, plus Qi Wannian and other troops who had just crossed the river, on the east bank of the Yellow River, at least gathered an army of more than 100,000 people.

However, with the retreat of the Shu army to the south, the situation on both sides of the Yellow River also eased abruptly, the troops of Qi Wannian and others were transferred to Hanoi County, and the Xiongnu also withdrew to the east bank of the Yellow River, leaving only a small part of the army to garrison here.

Perhaps Liu Yuan is also very superstitious about the role of the Yellow River, thinking that it is impossible for Liu Yin to cross the Yellow River to attack and merge with the state, from a strategic analysis, cross-border operations, that is to be supported by huge and strong logistics support, and now the Shu army does not have such a capability, so Liu Yuan believes that it is impossible for the Shu army to cross the Yellow River east in a short time.

Liu Yuan concentrated his main forces in Jizhou and Hanoi, which was his main battlefield, as for the annexation, Liu Yuan of course did not relax, he left 50,000 troops in Zuoguo City, just to prevent the Shu army from attacking from behind.

The commander who stayed in Zuoguocheng was Liu Yannian, the king of Zuo Dulu, who was not only responsible for the defense of the entire Yellow River, but also had to protect the safety of Zuoguocheng, and the palace of Liu Bao, the king of Han, was in Zuoguocheng.

Liu Yannian naturally could not send all the troops to the Yellow River, he just stationed a team of 1,000 people on the dozens of miles of the river near the military crossing, closely monitoring the situation on the other side, once he found that the Shu army had a large-scale plan to cross eastward, he immediately reported to Zuo Guocheng, and Liu Yannian would send a large army to reinforce at any time.

In order to strengthen the defense along the Yellow River, in addition to reinforcing the fortifications on the east bank of the Yellow River, the Xiongnu also burned all the ferries and fishing boats along the river, and ordered that no piece of wood should be allowed to go into the water.

Liu Yannian thinks that this kind of defense is very safe, if the Shu army wants to cross the river, at least it has to spread out a large army on the west bank, and make preparations for crossing the river, such as preparing a ferry or building a pontoon bridge, and these preparations will take many days to complete, and once Liu Yannian gets the information that the Shu army is assembled, he will send troops from Zuoguocheng to rescue, Zuoguocheng is only a hundred or ten miles away from the Yellow River crossing, and it is also a day or two away, and it is impossible to rush through it anyway.

With such an arrangement and deployment, Liu Yannian does not have to stay by the Yellow River to drink the northwest wind, but can stay comfortably in Zuoguo City to recuperate. In order to ensure absolute safety, the contact with the direction of the ferry is once a day, if the contact is interrupted, it means that something happens on the side of the Yellow River crossing, and Liu Yannian will send troops to the ferry as soon as possible. Such a deployment is almost foolproof, and Liu Yannian does not have to worry about any accidents.

Liu Yin naturally knew the deployment of the Huns well, and before he acted, he had already sent scouts to infiltrate the territory of Bingzhou, conducted detailed reconnaissance, and mastered first-hand information.

Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred battles. Although on the surface, the Xiongnu forces along the Yellow River were extremely weak in defense, but with the 50,000 horses in Zuoguo City that could be reinforced at any time, it was by no means difficult to cross the Yellow River with an army.

If you want to cross the river successfully, the first thing you need to do is not to alarm Liu Yannian in Zuoguocheng, once the Hun army reinforcements arrive and block the ferry, the river crossing operation is likely to die.

To sum up, this operation can only be a sneak attack, sending a small and elite force to smuggle across the Yellow River, first seizing a favorable beachhead, and creating favorable conditions for a large army to cross the river.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Huns, the three legions adopted the method of going in batches when approaching the military crossing, and used stealth as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the Huns' secret agents.

However, the favorable conditions are that the Huns' blockade of the Yellow River not only isolated the possibility of the Shu army crossing the river, but also created unfavorable conditions for him to send scouts to reconnoiter on the other side, Liu Yin in order to block the news on the west bank, has already sent scout troops to carry out counter-scout operations, the possibility of the Huns infiltrating the west bank to the minimum, now the Huns on the east bank in addition to visual inspection, it is difficult to grasp the whereabouts of the Shu army, as long as the Shu army dies down and maintains a distance of ten miles from the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the Huns to find their whereabouts.

As for this advance river-crossing team, there is no suspense that Ah Jian will command it.

Now almost all the special operations on the side of the Shu army are under the command of A Jian, and while A Jian serves as the captain of Liu Yin's personal guard, he has gradually become the commander of the special combat team, and every time he performs a difficult special combat mission, he is inseparable from A Jian's figure.

In this operation, Ah Jian is still in charge.

Ah Jian selected a team of 100 people who were proficient in water, and at the same time, these people were also extraordinary, all of them were good at blocking ten, bringing all the equipment, and secretly set off from Linjin to advance in the direction of Jundu.

Originally, Ah Jian's team advanced on horseback and arrived at a place ten miles away from the military crossing, Ah Nut resolutely abandoned the horse and walked, after all, the war horse is an animal, and it will roar in horror when encountering unexpected situations, which can easily attract the attention of the Hun defenders on the other side, which will disrupt the smuggling operation.

Fortunately, the distance of ten miles was not too far, and the soldiers selected by Ah Jian were all elite soldiers, all of whom were not weak, although they had to carry heavy equipment and weapons, they still moved quickly, and they had already rushed to the bank of the Yellow River before dark.
