"Shiyuan is not in a hurry at all" Half a month passed quietly, looking at Pang Tong with an old god beside him, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile.
"Why should the minister be in a hurry" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie and asked rhetorically.
"Yuan Zhi has arrived in Runan yesterday and occupied the Jiang Pavilion, Shi Yuan thinks, is that Cheng Pu stationed in Runan an is Yuan Zhi's opponent" Liu Xie stood by the river, looked at the surging river and asked with a smile.
"Although Cheng Pu is a Jiangdong general, he also has a lot of martial arts, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Shiyuan."
Shaking his head, Pang Tong said, he still has confidence in Xu Shu.
"Shi Yuan is not curious why I use Yuan Zhi instead of you" Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong strangely, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious achievements, and if it goes well, this battle may be the last battle.
When Pang Tong heard this, he suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty is still in Jingzhou now, and he is surveying the water situation everywhere, presumably this battle is not only two roads, but Yuan Zhi is better at commanding, and the unified army is not what Weichen is good at, then Ma Chao is a rebellious person at a glance, and the minister has no confidence to control him." ” Xu Shu did not make a small report, but what happened in the army, naturally could not escape Liu Xie's ears and eyes, in order to convince Ma Chao, Xu Shu did not spend less effort, in order to ensure Xu Shu's majesty, Liu Xie transferred Xu Chu over, accepted Xu Shu's dispatch, and also suppressed Ma Chao by force, and Xu Shu did not disappoint Liu Xie, it took three days to first frustrate Ma Chao's sharpness, and then punish him with military law, and finally in giving grace and righteousness, let Ma Chao make a head and take Jiangting, and now Ma Chao has been completely convinced.
As for Gao Shun, Liu Xie has never been worried, he is a pure soldier, in this era, it is rare, and Liu Xie does not have to worry too much.
Looking at Pang Tongyi's eyes, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Sometimes, you smart people worry me even more. ” Any means, as long as they are used, they can be seen through at a glance, and it is more difficult to trick him than to trick the enemy.
"It's just that the minister doesn't understand, how is Your Majesty going to deal with the Jiangdong Naval Army" Pang Tong looked at Liu Xie, and said suspiciously, although the soldiers of the imperial court were elite, they did not practice water warfare, otherwise Liu Xie would not have to take the land route at the beginning, and directly led the army from Jiangxia to Jiangling, which was much faster than taking the land route, and it could also save the physical strength of the soldiers.
"The navy, the imperial court also has it."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Yanzhou War Report" Wei Zhong trotted to Liu Xie and handed over a flying pigeon biography that had just been sent to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie took the flying pigeon and smiled.
Zhang Liao laid the battlefield very big this time, Qingzhou, Dongjun, and Chen Liu sent troops at the same time, although Cao Cao left a back hand, but this time, the imperial army was pushed all the way over, different from the previous battles, this time, Liu Xie invested a lot of troops on the battlefield in the Central Plains, there were 170,000 people, Zhang Liao and Tian Feng, obviously the imperial court in the strength of the advantage of the greatest down, Yanzhou is dominated by the plains, plus advanced siege equipment, half a month, Yanyu two states except for Runan, almost the entire territory fell, However, it was blocked by Xun Yu, Chen Qi and others outside Xiao Pass, but with Pang De all the way from Qingzhou to Mount Tai, attacking Langxi, Gan Ning's Henghai army landed from the East China Sea, and sent the imperial court soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Xuzhou in an endless stream, and the first line of defense left by Cao Cao was completely breached.
It's time for this battle to end Liu Xie handed over the battle report to Pang Tong, looked at the rolling river, and suddenly had an unspeakable regret, this world, with his arrival, lost a lot of wonderful, the Battle of Chibi is gone, and the Battle of Guandu is not as legendary as in history, but so what, if this is wonderful, to exchange the blood and tears of the entire Han Dynasty, Liu Xie would rather not.
Pang Tong looked at the battle report, and finally knew where Liu Xie said about the navy, the Henghai army, has rarely appeared, Gan Ning's main combat goal in these years, is overseas, plundering resources, women, with advanced shipbuilding technology, the land of Sanhan in the Bohai Sea has almost become his back garden, a few years ago, Taishi Ci turtle shrunk in the Jiaodong area, and was able to develop Jiaodong under Yuan Shao's cut off all materials from the outside world, and feed 300,000 people, Gan Ning can be said to be indispensable.
Now it is shown in front of the world for the first time, after nearly ten years of development, the Henghai division has surpassed this era just by talking about warships, and has the ability to sail in the sea.
Ten years of Hanxing, for the Han Dynasty, is a year of great significance, the autumn of the ninth year of Hanxing, since Liu Xie's arrival in Jingzhou, a few months, occupy the whole territory of Jingzhou.
Originally, I thought that the Son of Heaven personally conquered Jingzhou and won Jingzhou, but then, in March of the tenth year of Hanxing, Zhang Liao, who was left in Chen, took the lead in making trouble, annexing the entire territory of Yanzhou and most of Yuzhou in one fell swoop, in April, the new commander Xu Shu, led Ma Chao and Gao Shun to attack Runan, and Cheng Pu, who stayed here in Jiangdong, fought three battles in a row, won three battles, and Xu Shu also became a well-known commander in the world in one fell swoop.
Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Sun Quan sent envoys almost simultaneously and gave up the fight.
"Can't fight anymore" When Cao Cao learned that the imperial army had invaded Xuzhou from the sea, and the original defense line around Pengcheng was completely invalid, Cao Cao knew that the situation was worse than he imagined.
"My lord, until now, both our army and the Jiangdong army have suffered heavy losses."
Cheng Yu licked his dry lips, looked at Cao Cao bitterly and said: "Now there are only two counties left in Xuzhou, Xiapi and Guangling, and the soldiers and horses left by our army in Xuzhou are only 40,000. ” "What did Sun Quan say" Cao Cao didn't answer, but asked.
"Sun Quan has agreed to join forces again, Zhou Yu has also withdrawn and left, and Sun Quan is willing to lend Wu County to our army temporarily, but Danyang must be returned."
Cheng Yu said bitterly.
"Danyang, give it to him" Cao Cao nodded, Sun Quan's decisiveness still made him appreciate, if the two sides continue to entangle at this moment, it will only cheapen the imperial court, who would have thought that the imperial court would be able to dispatch 170,000 elites in such a short period of time, I am afraid that as early as when the Son of Heaven sent troops to Jiangxia, he was ready for a full-scale war, otherwise, if it was just Chen Liu's 30,000 army, it would be impossible to collapse Cao Cao's arrangement in Yanzhou in such a short period of time, and the detailed work arranged in the imperial court would be so useless, With such a large-scale troop movement, if Cao Cao had known in advance, he would never have led his army into Jiangdong so easily.
And Sun Quan actually retreated from Jingzhou, which is probably also deliberately done by the Son of Heaven, this move did not leave them a way to live at all It's just that now, it's useless to regret it, what we have to do now is to block the imperial army, Xiapi, Guangling Lujiang, these three counties must be defended, otherwise the two princes share a Jiangdong, and there is no fun at all.
Cheng Yu took a deep breath, bowed to Cao Cao and said, "The minister retired." ” "There's a labor plan."
Cao Cao nodded silently.
At the same time, Xuzhou, Xiapi.
"Boom Boom" A thick giant crossbow bolt continued to bombard the city wall of Xiapi City, a stone bullet weighing twenty pounds, like raindrops fell on the city wall, like the end of the world, the defenders of the city head lay under the female wall one by one, and did not even dare to come forward, the entire city wall in the court army of the catapult and the bombardment of the city-breaking crossbow, constantly shaking, gravel and sawdust constantly slapped on the defenders' body.
Xun Yu's face was pale, he had already understood the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and he had no chance of winning in the field, he originally thought that he could hold out for at least a few days by retreating to the city and refusing to defend the city, but with the endless flow of imperial logistics troops sending these siege equipment to the front line, Xun Yu suddenly found that defending the city was a very stupid thing.
Wild front, although it was pressed and beaten, but at least it could cause casualties to the enemy, but now, the imperial court did not even send troops to attack the city at all, just using these siege equipment, it almost collapsed the morale, this is still the elite left by Cao Cao, if it was an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that the equipment would have surrendered at this moment.
For a day, Zhang Liao never gave the order to attack the city, and at dusk, he silently collected his troops and returned to the camp, from beginning to end, without even calling for a battle.
Xun Yu dragged his tired body back to the city, and as soon as he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, he saw Chen Jue, Cao Xiu, Mi Zhu and others gathered in the Assassin's Mansion, waiting for him.
"Wen Ruo, this imperial court soldiers, how can the battle go smoothly" Chen Qi looked at Xun Yu eagerly, worried.
Xun Yu looked at these people, sighed slightly, and shook his head: "The army of the Son of Heaven attacked the city, quite like the strong Qin back then, using bows and crossbows and artillery to suppress the morale of our army, and now the morale of the soldiers in the city is low, and it may not last."
Xun Yu at this moment, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted, before Cao Cao left, he handed over the rear to him, but he didn't expect the final result, but he lost a series of battles, and now, even Xia Pi is exposed to the soldiers of the imperial court.
Xun Yu knows very well that just these siege equipment, it is a matter of time before the imperial court breaks the city, even if he does his best, it will not last long, the army is weak, and the people's sense of belonging to Cao Cao is not strong, you must know that Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian back then, but there was a slaughter of the city in Xuzhou, even if now after many years, Cao Cao governed Xuzhou, so that the people's livelihood has recovered a lot, but this hatred has not been completely eliminated, but it has been suppressed.
Now that the imperial army is advancing eastward, especially when the imperial army is crushed in a crushing way, these problems have begun to be exposed.
"How long can you keep it" Chen Qi sat down distractedly, looked at Xun Yu, and said expectantly.
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then stretched out three fingers: "Even today, at most, you can keep it for three days" Three days Mi Zhu raised his eyes, glanced at Xun Yu, did not speak, but lowered his head. t1706231537:
