Shu Chen

Chapter 554
The news of Qian Bo's death and the fall of Lingfang County did not take long.

Thanks to Liu Zuan and Nie You's strict supervision of the daily scouts, they learned the general military situation two days later.

Although I can't understand why the Han army sent more than [-] soldiers to Jiaozhi County, how could more than [-] soldiers enter Yulin County, but this did not delay them from quickly making corresponding deployments.

Nie You, who was in Zengshi County on the west side, gathered Li Shu all in the city.

In addition to sending people to warn the county in the rear, he also sent people to Jiaozhi County to report to Lu Dai.

He knew that if the Han army came to attack Zengshi County, his own [-] soldiers would not be able to last long, and he knew that Liu Zuan, who was stationed in Bushan County with more than [-] men, would be even more powerless to rescue.

But he cannot leave his post without authorization and abandon the city.

Therefore, he can only hope that the messenger's journey will be faster and bring Lu Dai's determination back as soon as possible.

Yes, he thought the Han army would come to attack Zengshi County.

Needless to say, once the Han army breaks through Zengshi County, it is not difficult to break through Linchen County in the Nanshui (Zuojiang) Valley in the west. The outpost area guarded by the soldiers.

Although Gein Yulin County and Jiaozhi County border, they are separated by continuous mountains and dense jungles, and there are few roads for the army to pass directly!
There are East and West in Jiaozhou.

The three counties in the west, such as Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan, are self-contained isolated environments.

In the past, messages were delivered by sea.

And from Jiaozhi to Yuexinbang, before entering Hepu County by boat and then going north, it is much less time-saving and labor-saving than going by land.

But very slowly, Bu Shan once again felt sorry for He Jun's behavior.

He Jun only left more than [-] soldiers guarding Lingfang County, and the rest of the soldiers and horses went east along the Yushui River Valley.

It seems that they plan to retreat and attack Jingnan County?

That inference made Bushan incredible.

According to common sense, even if He Jun came to retreat and increase food, he should retreat south to attack Hepu County, occupy the port and seize the ships, and then go to Jiaozhi County and Ma Zhong's north and south to attack and destroy Lu Dai's tribe!

Once Lu Dai's tribe was wiped out, would the Xiba counties of Jiaozhou be included in He Jun's pocket?
Why go to Jingnan County later!
As the hub of the eight counties of Yulin, Hepu, and Cangwu, Yue Xin could not be captured by a team of soldiers who penetrated into the enemy's territory and had no supplies!
Bushan has the ability to understand, but the Han army in Jingnan County is vaguely unaware.

When I learned that Yue Xin came east along the Yushui River Valley, I didn't think that Yue Xin was here to attack Jingnan County.

Instead, they will retreat from Jingnan to Cangwu County, and go north to attack Linnieyou.

Linnieyou was originally a county in Cangwu County.

The reason why Jiangdong was set up as a county and placed under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou is because it is the hub between Liu Zuan and Jiaozhou, with ordinary strategic significance, and it is also a consideration for better control of Jiaozhou.

Yue Xin is one of the generals who is not qualified to know Jiangdong's strategic deployment.

I also know that when Lu Xun analyzed it to Sun Quan, he claimed that Liu Zuan and Jiaozhou should be the focus of deployment to defend against He Jun's attack.

Therefore, I think that Hejun's move to the east was to invade Linnie You, who had been put down for a long time and had been suppressed for a long time. He used this as a springboard to enter the Xiangshui River Valley in Jingzhou, attacked Wu Jun in front of Liu Zuan's deployment, and created a new era for Yong'an to send troops. Chance.

But with a lone army driving straight in, how many waves can be caused?
After Liu Zuan was subordinate to Yue Xin!

Jiangdong completely controlled Liu Zuan before the battle between Xiangfan and Yiling, but there was still a rebellion coming from time to time.

Even when Pan Jun was alive, he changed people's hearts.

It's just that the Han army didn't have a plan in mind, but they dared to lead the army out of the city to contain He Jun's transit.

With me, Ferneng can be your ear.

First of all, the number of Yue Xin's troops who drove here is less than a thousand people. It is just that I am guarding the front and maintaining law and order, and the combat force under my command can be called elite, which makes me want to fight.

It is true that once the battle is defeated, Yuexin County will be seized by He Jun, which will bring better results to the war situation.

I also had no choice but to guard the city. While sending people into Hepu County, Cangwu County and Linyuexin to warn, I also ordered scouts to monitor He County's movements at all times.

Yes, just surveillance.

Whether Guan Cangwu County or Linie You are in the front, Jiangdong only retains the county soldiers to maintain law and order, and does not have the strength to go out of the city to block Yue Xin's footsteps.

Or to put it another way, I was looking forward to Yue Xin joining Lin Nieyou instead.

Because judging by time, even if Commander He delays driving into Linyue Xin, Lu Xun and the Bu Zhi in Xiling Gorge, who are in Jiangling City, will also get the news that they will send troops to the south.

At that time, even if He Jun captures Lin Yuexin, he will end up as a turtle in a jar.

As for Linie You, who has just settled down from the rebellion, is being harassed by the flames of war again and turned into scorched earth again~
Gu is gone so little.

The right should be to destroy that branch of Hejun at the expense of Linieyou.

During the deployment at the start of the Jiaozhou War, Lu Dai made no mistakes in Hejun's retreat tactics and force estimation. Naturally, the Han army had no choice but to sit back and watch Jiangdong pay the corresponding price.

However, sometimes, things tend to be misfortunes that go one way.

My deduction was also wrong like Lu Dai's.

Just when He Jun was passing through Yuexin County and was willing to stay for a moment before retreating into Cangwu County, the news from the scouts made me dumbstruck.

Before He Jun arrived at Guangxin County, the seat of Cangwu County, there was an unstoppable path going northward against He Jiang to Nie You!
Instead, it still goes east along the Yushui (this section is called Xijiang) valley.

At this time, the Han army finally knew He Jun's intentions.

There are non-Nanhai County ears!
Therefore, I took care of myself, so I hurriedly set up my headquarters and summoned the soldiers and horses from the seven counties of Jipu and Cangwu, and headed slowly to Nanhai County.

Nanhai County can be occupied by He County.

The two small and prosperous places in Jiaozhou are Nanhai County and Jiaozhi County respectively, and they are also the reliance of the Jiaozhou government and the guards.

Among them, Panyu County, the governing seat, is Nanhai County, where Zhao Tuo called the imperial capital in the past, and has a relatively dense population.

First of all, there are almost taxes in this county,

Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty pacified Nanyue, Dongyue, and Qiang before "ruling according to their customs" and collecting taxes. 【Note 1】

However, before Jiangdong occupied Nanhai County, it still adopted the rule of confinement for the old land of Nanyue, and the rent and tax of farmers were "cut and provided for", and less rare local products were used to benefit the Central Plains, "it must be paid for."

Another is that this county has no overseas trade as a support, and "sells treasures for profit" all the year round.

For example, in the later Han Dynasty, "Pusha officials" were set up in Nanhai County and Jiaozhi County. 【Note 2】

If Nanhai County is disturbed by He County, Jiangdong will only lose the innumerable fleets staying in the port, and because of the interruption of commerce and trade, it will not be able to provide troops to defend Jiaozhou.

After all, Jiaozhi County has already welcomed the entry of He County.

And the Han army also knew that Yue Xin would occupy Nanhai County.

Once he retreats into Nanhai County, he will inevitably plunder the supplies hoarded by the State of Wu, weakly conscript the trade fleet and retreat into Jiaozhi County by sea, and the port of Jiangjiaozhi County will be seized, making him a lone army with support in Lu Dai's department !

Usher in the end of being destroyed!

In other words, has He Jun's strategic goal changed? It has always been to attack Lu Dai's tribe and occupy the geographically isolated and more difficult to control eight counties in the west of Jiaozhou.

It's just the foresight of the Han army, is there still time to turn the tide of the battle? ——
[Note 1: Note 1: "Hanshu·Shihuozhi No. [-]" "The Han Dynasty sent troops at the age of eight, punished the Qiang, and destroyed the two Guangdongs. , there are taxes.”]

[Note 2: "Hanshu·Geographical Records No. [-]" "Nanhai County has no shameful officials, and Jiaozhi County has no shameful officials.】
