Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

In fact, Chen Deng's situation here is similar to that of Lu Kang. They don't have enough troops and they don't have enough trump cards, so they naturally don't dare to take too radical measures.

Whether it is Lu Kang or Chen Deng, they both have certain ambitions.

Lu Kang wants to become famous in the world, and Chen Deng needs this battle to gain a firm foothold in the Jin army. Although Lang is an exciting thing, if Lang passes or loses, it will also be the biggest blow to them. If they really play with the Bund, all their ambitions will come to nothing.

The only difference is that as the defender of the city, Chen Deng has a relatively high fault tolerance rate due to his defensive advantage.

Chen Deng never thought about annihilating this enemy army from the beginning, but wanted to delay the battle until the Central Plains battle to determine the tripod. As long as they can do this, it is a victory in itself for them.

An emperor needs capable people and people who can judge the situation.

Chen Deng's current choice is the most appropriate choice based on the current overall situation.

Generals like Chen Qingzhi who can exaggerately defeat more with less can be favored by a monarch, but in most cases, those monarchs still rely on people like Wang Jian who are as stable as an old dog, especially in this situation. In this kind of national war that cannot be lost, the only ones chosen will be generals like Wang Jian, not generals like Chen Qingzhi.

National war requires stability, and players like Chen Qingzhi are suitable when they have to take risks in a strong headwind environment, or when they can crush the opponent and become a surprise force.

Obviously, Chen Deng's choice can maximize his error tolerance rate and is also the least error-prone choice.

Chen Deng used ordinary people to disguise themselves as soldiers, pretending that reinforcements had arrived, so that the cautious Lu Kang did not dare to move lightly, but wanted to be the first to test their authenticity.

But Chen Deng himself had quietly left the city with two thousand soldiers and horses at this time, hiding in the dark, and detoured behind Lu Kang's back, and made a surprise attack on Lu Kang's water stronghold, burning all the boats of Lu Kang's soldiers and horses.

The ship was burned to pieces. Although there was no loss of troops or horses, their logistics and transportation of various engineering equipment were inseparable from the ship. With just such a fire, Chen Deng could delay Lu Kang for at least more than a month. time, so that it will not be able to do anything for at least a month.

After all, although there is no shortage of ships in the south, those large ships were first mobilized to protect the Yangtze River war, leaving only some small ships left for Lu Kang to recruit.

Therefore, although the battle situation in Xuzhou was faced with a two-sided attack from Zhu Yuanzhang's forces and Liu Bei's forces, the southern side was tightly guarded. Chen Deng alone was enough to give Lu Kang a headache, let alone Liu Heitai after Chen Deng.

The most important crisis Xuzhou is facing now comes from Liu Bei's direction.

Jiaozhou.

Because Zhu Di lost so miserably in that battle, the situation in Jiaozhou completely collapsed for Zhu Yuanzhang's power.

The main force was lost, and there were not many extra troops in Jiaozhou to defend.

Yulin, Hepu and other counties had been lost to various Jin generals in just one month.

In such a short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang was not even given much chance to reflect. From the time the news of Jiaozhou reached Zhu Yuanzhang, to the moment Zhu Yuanzhang received the news and dispatched troops from various fronts, waiting for these troops to be sent to reinforce Jiaozhou, a month seemed like a long time, but it was not enough time. .

As a result, in just one month, from Jiaozhou to Nuozhou, only the easternmost Nanhai County was left.

Zhu Di was defeated too quickly, and then the Jin army attacked fiercely. The battle seemed to be flowing out for thousands of miles, and it could not be stopped. It was not until he arrived in Nanhai County that Wang Lu was finally able to mobilize a force. With the help of the surrounding river areas and the help of the Song family, the largest family in Jiaozhou, he finally managed to gain a foothold.

In the original Jiaozhou, the most powerful aristocratic family was naturally that of the Shi family, but with Zhu Yuanzhang's southern expedition, the largest aristocratic family in Jiaozhou finally returned to dust.

The Song family, originally the second aristocratic family in Jiaozhou, boarded this fast ship because of their marriage relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, and thus became the first aristocratic family in Jiaozhou today.

The Song family in Jiaozhou is not so much an aristocratic family as it is a rich man with a lot of slaves under his command, and these people are both slaves and private soldiers of the family.

Song Que was not bad at training soldiers, and he spared no effort in arming the family soldiers, an important defensive force. Therefore, the quality of this family's private army is actually quite good, and it is definitely a rare force of will for the current Jiaozhou.

And Zhu Di soon gathered back as many of the defeated troops as possible after the defeat in that battle to help Wang Lu gain a foothold in Nanhai County.

After Cangwu County was lost, Wu Qi's southern army could directly attack Jingnan from behind.

And if Nanhai County fails, even Yangzhou may become the direction of attack for Wu Qi's southern army.

The loss of Cangwu County was enough to put Zhu Yuanzhang's forces at a strategic disadvantage, especially as Zhu Yuanzhang's own safety would also be threatened. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in Jingnan.

Once Nanhai County is also lost, Zhu Yuanzhang's power will truly face the greatest crisis.

If that time really comes, and the entire Jingnan and Yangzhou are exposed under the eyes of the Jin army, how can they defend such a long defense line when facing hundreds of thousands of troops from Bai Qi and Wang Jian in front? How to mobilize so much strength to defend?

Therefore, Nanhai County, no matter how difficult the situation here is, they must hold on! Even if they are shattered to pieces, they must defend this place!

For this reason, after Zhu Di returned to the South China Sea, he immediately contacted the Song family. Through the influence of the Song family, in a short period of time, he recruited 30,000 people as new soldiers, distributed them weapons and equipment, and mobilized Go to the various armies to provide assistance.

At the same time, after Zhu Yuanzhang received the news of the battle, he demoted Zhu Di, the main person responsible for the defeat, and let General Wang Lu take charge of the Jiaozhou war.

For such a big defeat, someone has to take the blame! Even his own son is absolutely no exception!

On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized all the troops he could mobilize in a short period of time and actively prepared to deploy the Jingnan defense line.

And he personally went south to Lingling and blocked the front line of Wu Qi's troops pressing towards Jingnan.
