Chapter 644: The Great River Goes East (First Update)

Gan Ning, Zhang Fei led 10,000 troops, and went down the river to attack Moling.

There was no need to dispatch the warships, and when Gan Ning came, he had already transferred all the ships, which was more than enough to load 10,000 troops.

A moment later, under Kou Feng's gaze, Gan Ning and Zhang Fei each led their troops and boarded the warship.

Go down the river and head east.

"The Yangtze River, a natural barrier, Sun Quan has the Yangtze River, which is enough to compete with the north. But Jing Chu is only in the upper reaches, if Jing Chu is strong, down the river, water and land go hand in hand. Wu is not good at guarding. During the Warring States Period, Chu destroyed Wu, and I am afraid that it was also down the river, but today it is only the case. Kou Feng looked at Gan Ning, Zhang Fei led the army away, his eyes were a little far-reaching, and he said softly.

"Chu Zun, Wu is weak. This is the ancient truth. Huang Zhong nodded beside him.

"No matter what, now is the time when the hearts of the people in Jiangdong are fluctuating, as long as Moling is a moment, the six counties of Jiangdong will all be in my hands." Kou Feng just sighed, smiled, and turned around: "Leave a team of people to deal with the aftermath, we will go south and cut off the back road of Yuzhang City." Trap them in the Yu Zhang. ”

Now the iron cable has broken across the river. Closing Yuzhang is one of them, and preventing Sun Quan from escaping from Zhang Fei and Gan Ning, and entering Yuzhang to continue to cause trouble is the second.

"No." Tai Shici, Huang Zhong said loudly.

The army was immediately divided into two parts, one of which stayed to deal with the aftermath, and the other followed Kou Feng and went south to Yuzhang.

Zhou Tai was defeated, and the defeat was so miserable.

After breaking Ling Tong, he was injured in several places, and he was covered in blood. The army of 30,000 lost more than 10,000. Only 20,000 remnants of the army returned to Yuzhang.

When Zhou Tai appeared outside Yuzhang City covered in blood, the sensation of the entire Yuzhang can be imagined.

The iron cable crosses the river, the outrageous fortifications of Yuzhang City, and the Tai Shi Ci, which has high hopes a little to the south. Such an iron bucket of defense.

actually couldn't prevent Kou Feng, so he let Kou Feng sacrifice thousands of men and horses from Gan Ning's department to break through.

Thousands, seemingly large casualties. But in the situation of opening up the waterway, attacking Moling directly, and getting in touch with the Yi nationality that is now entrenched in Wu County, it is nothing at all.

It is already conceivable that Moling was broken, and Wu Jun raised troops to attack Huiji, encroaching on the situation of the entire Jiangdong. At this time, there were more than 100,000 troops of Kou Feng outside Yuzhang City.

By opening up the waterway, Kou Feng's army was not only able to block Yuzhang's front road, but also to bypass the back road. If it is a breakthrough, it will definitely not be comfortable.

This is the situation that Koto is currently subjected to.

What about Cao Jiang Li Dian's side?

The Yangtze River was opened up, and Jiangdong was encroached. There is no power to fight back. And they cut off the waterways, and the way back to the north.

When Zhou Tai's defeated army returned to Yuzhang, the earthquake in Yuzhang City began.

The Jiangdong soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the Cao soldiers were also fluctuating because the northern roads were cut off.

If it weren't for the prestige of the generals, I'm afraid they would have mutinied.

At this moment, Yuzhang is in the city.

On another school ground, tents were erected. Zhou Tai's soldiers were placed here, and the wounded soldiers were properly housed.

The intact soldiers also enjoyed the comfort of a meal.

This meal is indispensable, and the physical exertion of a soldier fight is huge. Coupled with the newly defeated army, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely mutiny.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Tai sat in the handsome position, he was naked, his wounds had been urgently treated, and he was tied with layers of bandages.

The spirit is quite sufficient, but his face is pale with no blood.

Below Zhou Tai are Li Dian and Quan Cong.

Both of them did not look good, and when they received news from the north of the city, they knew that they were miserable when Zhou Tai's defeated army returned.

Hurried over.

"Kou Feng's army and horses are only tens of thousands, and Youping and Gongji have 30,000 troops, why did they return with a fiasco, just one round?" Li Dian suppressed the annoyance in his heart and asked Zhou Taidao.

An army of about the same number, under this battle, there are also cases of fighting for more than ten days without winning or losing. Why was this a defeat as soon as the battle was fought?

"The Chu army is too strong, he has tens of thousands of people, and he can reach 100,000 people." Zhou Tai was speechless at first, and then opened his mouth to say. Zhou Tai is a fierce general, and he can retreat from the battle with Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong, and his bravery can be imagined. At the same time, Zhou Tai is also a very proud person.

The soldiers he led were the second, if not the first in the world. Now he personally admits that Kou Feng's army is too strong, and he is invincible.

One can imagine what a tragic situation it was for tens of thousands of people to fight.

Even Li Dian, who had the heart to question, was taken aback. Quan Cong was even more shocked, and his color flashed away. If the Chu army is really so strong, then what else are they fighting?

How to fight.

Although Quan Cong was one of the Jiangdong generals, he had always suppressed Shanyue and had never fought with Kou Feng. Although he knew that the Chu army was strong, he heard it mostly by his ears, so he inevitably discounted it a little in his heart, thinking that he could resist it.

But at this moment, listening to Zhou Tai's words, my heart was a little cold.

"The second is that I will be too little, and Zhang Fei will rush forward and kill him closely, and as a result, he will be killed by Zhang Fei. In terms of morale, it is a great blow. After going to Gongji, Tai Shici, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong took the lead and wanted to kill me under the horse, if I hadn't made a move, I am afraid I would have been lost there. Zhou Tai said again after a period of silence.

This is an embarrassing thing, even more embarrassing than whether the army is strong or not.

The fierce general is pressing.

The term "leading by example" was invented for fierce generals, who can boost morale, and usually the enemy army does the same.

Although it is not a heads-up, it is common for two fierce generals to meet, and it is common for them to live and die.

On the one hand, there are too few fierce generals, and on the other hand, there are too many fierce generals. The side with fewer fierce generals will suffer very much if they fight.

This incident made Quan Cong and Li Dian unspeakably silent for a while.

This Kou Feng killed all the way, digging the foot of the wall all the way, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, etc., and even Cao General Xu Huang was captured alive. On the other hand, whether it is the Cao clan in the north or the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

The generals are decreasing again and again, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Gao Ran. Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Lu Dai, Zhu Ran, Zhu Zhi and so on.

Those who win big have earned soldiers and fierce generals. Those who were defeated lost their soldiers and broke off their fierce generals.

This is a kind of trade-off, the loser is embarrassed, and the winner is happy.

But it is something that the current Quan Cong, Zhou Tai, and Li Dian have to accept. Ling Tong was killed by Shuhe, and he lost another person.

The more you fight, the more miserable it becomes.

After a period of silence, Li Dianchang sighed and said: "Now that we are besieged, we are still secondary, the main thing is that Moling may not be able to stop Kou Feng's army from attacking, as long as there is a day of the Yangtze River, Kou Feng's army can go down the river and go straight to Moling." If Moling is broken, what is left in Jiangdong? ”

Li Dian's words have moved from the tactical level to the strategy.

If tactically, they only lost 10,000 troops, as well as one Ling Tong. Strategically, then, they are already losing ground and retreating. Just one step away, we will reach the point of defeat.

Li Dian already had some doubts in his heart about Cao Cao's strategic thinking of reinforcing Jiangdong. As the saying goes, if you can't help it, you can't help it.

Jiangdong is so broken. Seeing that he was about to die, he came.

He also led 30,000 Cao soldiers to the south, while the total army in Yangzhou was only 40,000. There are only 10,000 troops left in Shouchun today.

If Kou Feng annexes Jiangdong, he can't go back. This is not only a matter of Wu Chu competing for power, but the interests of the Cao family in the north will also be threatened.

Although Yangzhou is only half of the wall, it is strategically important.

"If not, we will take advantage of Kou Feng's army that has not yet been completely encircled, give up Yuzhang, and return to Moling to support a county?" Quan Cong said suddenly.

"At that time, large tracts of land and cities would be occupied by Koufeng. All he had to do was surround Moling. The Yangtze River has cut off our connection with the north, and we can only be trapped in Moling. Zhou Tai shook his head and said.

Another point is that they are Jiangdong forces, not Cao Cao forces, their roots are in Jiangdong, if they give up large tracts of land.

Koto is almost the same as dying.

After thinking about it, the three of them couldn't think of a way to deal with it.

Li Dian's face couldn't help but be very ugly, Zhou Tai, Quan Cong is fine. If the state of Wu dies, it does not matter whether Sun Quan is defeated or Sun Quan surrenders.

Both of them can follow the trend, and there is no such scruple as apostasy. You can surrender to Koufeng. He, the Cao general, can't go back, and he can't fight.

And it's not with Zhou Tai and Quan Cong.

It's like a ship across the Yangtze River, with iron cables across the river in all directions, and you can't go up or down.

In another silence, Zhou Tai's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with some excitement: "By the way, when the Shanyue Rebellion broke out before, didn't they all accept the Prime Minister's seal?" Now that my Jiangdong is in danger, I am both prosperous and lossy with the prime minister. Why didn't Man Cheng use the name of the prime minister to seal the official position in Shanyue Zhongda and ask them to curb Kou Feng? ”

There are more and more mountains in Jiangdong, and when Sun Ce stabilized Jiangdong, there were millions of them, entrenched in Jiangdong and Jiaozhou

Later, with Sun Ce, Sun Quan's annual conquest, especially the previous year, entered the mountains on a large scale and plundered many Shanyue people.

Shan Yue stopped for a moment. But the emaciated Luo Tong is always bigger than a horse.

According to Jiangdong's speculation, there may be two or three million people in Shanyue in the deep mountains. There are countless brave and good fighters. If you can provoke a few of them.

That's how 100,000 strong soldiers came.

What is especially perfect is that now Cao Cao and Sun Quan have a common enemy. In previous years, the reason why Shanyue rebelled was, on the one hand, that he could not bear the oppression of Sun Quan and fought again and again.

On the other hand, there is also the shadow of Cao Cao.

Now that they are allied with Cao Cao, they can just use Cao Cao's power to influence the Shanyue people to send troops.

In previous years, when Jiangdong Shanyue broke out, it generally started because of the acceptance of Cao Cao's general official seal, which is true.

Being said in person, Li Dian felt a little embarrassed.

But at this moment, it is indeed the only way out.

"Okay, I'll immediately send people to the Shanyue tribes and let them send troops. I hope Moling can hold out for a while. Li Dian swept away the embarrassment and got up.

Quan Cong, Zhou Tai's face was full of joy.

If Shanyue sends troops, the situation can be stabilized again, and as long as Jiangdong has a chance to breathe, it will be stabilized.
