Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 709 Two-way attack, soldiers enter Jiangdong!
After taking Guiyang, Zhao Yun and his team in Jingnan will only have Changsha as their last stop.

However, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha County, had already been secretly bribed by the Shadow Guard.

This trip by Zhao Yun and others may be more just to take over Changsha, and it's just a formality.

Moreover, the two generals in Changsha, Wei Yan and Huang Zhong, have already become extremely important generals under the command of Cao Cao and Lu Yan. Han Xuan has no soldiers or generals, and he does not have the ability to stop Cao Jun.

Along the way, Zhou Yan was a little worried about gains and losses, "I wonder if I can find my brother in Changsha."

And Fan Shi, who turned into a caring sister, kept comforting her: "Don't worry, sister, I will accompany you to find it everywhere!"

"You are still caring." Zhou Yan was a little moved.

"From now on, I finally have a family again. If I'm not sincere to you, then who would I be sincere to?" Fan said briskly.

After speaking, the two held each other's hands tightly in the carriage again.
Changsha has shadow guard activities, which has already been confirmed.

It's just that there are quite a few shadow guards active in Jingzhou, even if there are traces of shadow guard activities in Changsha, there is no way to be sure that Zhou Hong is here.

But in the end, there is still some hope, so Zhou Yan still has a lot of expectations for this trip to Changsha.

It was still Xia Houlan who led the dragon cavalry army first.

Since he has already been to the three counties, it is better to let him simply take Changsha, and have a good start and a good end.

Even if the last trip was to pick up some credit for nothing, Zhao Yun didn't care about it at all, and he was happy to let his little friend get some benefits.

really,

When Xia Houlan led the dragon cavalry army to five miles away from the city of Changsha County, Han Xuan had already brought the civil and military officials of Changsha County to greet him outside the city.

Standing beside Han Xuan was Jia Er from the Jiazi Camp of Shadow Guards.

As for Yan Feng, Zhou Hong and others,
After learning that Cao Jun captured Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang and other counties along the way, they had already headed to Beihai, Xuzhou first, and returned to Guo Jia.

Zhou Yan and Zhou Hong missed each other perfectly
But as long as Zhou Hong goes back and sees Guo Jia this time, it basically means that Zhou Yan has found Zhou Hong.
Han Xuan is now one of Cao Cao's people, and his family doesn't need to be polite, so he went straight into Changsha County City and waited for Zhao Yun's arrival.

After meeting with Han Xuan, Zhao Yun reported the summary of the battle in Jingnan to Cao Cao and Lu Yan.

When Cao Cao learned that Zhao Yun's Dragon Cavalry Army had taken down four counties in a row in half a month, he was pleasantly surprised and immediately played the role of emperor, and asked the Dragon Cavalry Army a lot of promotions and rewards.

In this battle, Xia Houlan, who almost single-handedly won the three counties, was promoted to General Jianwei and named Liehou because of her outstanding performance.

Xia Houlan, who had been serving as the deputy general under Zhao Yun of the Dragon Cavalry Army, finally began to emerge, ushering in one of the most important turning points in her life.

From then on, Xia Houlan finally gradually came to the front of the stage and entered another wider world that belonged to her.

The four counties in Jingnan have all been under the rule of Cao Cao. So far, Jingzhou has all been under the control of Cao Cao.

Cao Jun actually captured the entire Jingzhou in just two months.
This kind of combat power, this kind of strength, made the last three remaining princes in the world (Sun Quan of Jiangdong, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong) all feel great pressure.

Under the persecution of Cao Cao's powerful forces, whether it was Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu or Sun Quan, they put all their troops at the forefront, and watched Cao Jun's every move with cautious eyes.

The news that all Jingzhou was taken spread to the Central Plains, Hebei and other places, and the officials and people under Cao Cao's rule were all rejoicing.

So far, Cao Cao has won half of the Great Han Dynasty, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he returns to unity!

In order to celebrate, the people under Cao Cao's rule went to restaurants to drink and celebrate, and many literati and poets wrote countless heroic, romantic, or eulogizing poems and songs with passion.

The land of the Central Plains is thriving!
After occupying Jingzhou, Cao Cao set his sights on the last and biggest obstacle to his unification of the world, Jiangdong!
As long as Jiangdong is taken down, no matter whether it is Zhang Lu or Liu Zhang, they are nothing but easy-to-handle generation.

Jian'an ten years, mid-July.

An army of [-] led by Zhang Liao came to Shouchun in Huainan, joining forces with Xiahou Dun and Liu Ye.

There are Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, and Liu Ye in the north, and the powerful Cao Cao and Lu Yan in the west.

The haze of war has gradually gathered on the Jianghuai land, and Sun Quan and his subordinates all feel a very heavy pressure.

But Sun Quan was not afraid of this,
He still has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and he has more ambitions!

When Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng and others had already led the army to sweep across the South China Sea and Jiaozhou, and even occupied Ryukyu Island. They recruited no less than [-] soldiers from the surrendered army and the natives.

At the same time, Sun Quan was still recruiting soldiers throughout Jiangdong, and asked the aristocratic family to provide him with support such as money, food, and grass.

In Jiangdong alone, in less than two months, a new army of [-] generals was recruited.

With 15 surrendered troops, 35 new recruits, and Jiangdong's original 35 army, Sun Quan's total force at this moment has reached 20!Among the [-] troops, [-] are sailors.

For the nine counties in Jiangdong, whether it is shipbuilding or raising soldiers, this is an unbearable huge expense.

But if he hadn't been so "military", Sun Quan would have no hope of resisting Cao Cao.After all, if Jiangdong is gone, why do we need all the money, food, and population?
In fact, if Sun Quan is doing this now, as long as Cao Cao spends a year or two with him, there may be changes in Jiangdong himself.

It's just that Cao Cao has a great victory, will he be willing to wait another year or two?
The answer is naturally no!
Cao Cao only rested in Jingzhou for a month.

After the grain, grass, artillery shells and other supplies from Hebei in the Central Plains arrived in Jiangxia, he brazenly raised his troops, leading an army of nearly 40 land and water, and headed towards Jiangdong!

At the same time, Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao, and Liu Ye also led [-] troops out of Hefei. They first recaptured Lujiang County, and then confronted Sun Quan's navy by land and water in Chaohu and other places.

There is an unavoidable hurdle for Cao Jun to advance from west to east by land and water, and that is the place that gave Cao Cao the most painful lesson and failure in his entire career in history, "Red Cliff!"

Lu Yan led the navy and slowly moved forward in the Yangtze River.

He stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, thinking about how to avoid the failure of "Red Cliff".

However, the Han navy led by Lu Yan is not a pioneer.

There are other people in the vanguard, it is Cai Mao who won the vanguard position earlier, and the [-] Jingzhou navy led by him and Zhang Yun.

Although the Jingzhou navy was weakening day by day under the previous rule of Liu Biao, it still has combat power in general.

After Cai Mao surrendered to Cao Cao, he trained the navy hard in order to earn performance. Even if the Jingzhou navy is not as good as the Jiangdong navy now, the strength of the two may not be much different.

Originally, Cao Cao ordered Lu Yan to be the commander of the navy and Cai Mao to be the vanguard for the sake of insurance, and let them take care of each other one by one and march towards the border of Jiangdong.

But Cai Mao was eager to make contributions, and he didn't want to share the credit with Lu Yan and Dahan Navy.
So he secretly broke away from the connection with the Dahan Navy, and quietly accelerated his speed towards the boundary of Jiangdong.
