Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Before they reached Jiangxia, Chen Yang ordered them to stop first, and then asked Li Yuan to contact Wenpin who was nearby.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wen Pin came to join Chen Yang with dozens of light cavalry.

"General, I've finally waited for you! Our soldiers have been hiding here for a long time, and they can't train openly. They are going to be moldy."

Just as Wen Pin finished speaking, he unexpectedly saw Huang Zhong beside him, and asked in surprise, "It turns out that the old general has also voted under General Chen's command."

Wenpin used to be a general in Jingzhou, so of course he knew Huang Zhong, so he finally set his sights on Wei Yan and asked, "I haven't seen this general before, what's his name?"

Like Huang Zhong, Wei Yan was not well-known in the Jingzhou military camp before, and Wenpin had never met him.

"Wei Yan, Wei Wenchang." Wei Yan said.

"The general asked me to send Xu'er to Xudu to be treated by Hua's genius doctor. I have no way to repay my age, so I can only use the remaining years of my life to repay." Huang Zhong said with emotion.

"It turns out that Xu'er has been sent to Xudu. I still thought about taking Jiang Xia this time, going back to Xiangyang to meet the old general, and then trying to find a way to treat Xu'er."

The relationship between Wenpin and Huang Zhong seems to be quite good, and he also knows about Huang Zhong's family.

After a while of politeness, Wenpin got Chen Yang's consent and took them back to the camp not far away.

Wenpin said again: "This was originally the lair of a group of water thieves. After being captured by us, it was transformed into a military camp. The location here is just right to hide us."

"General!"

Seeing Chen Yang and others appearing in the barracks, Li Dian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, you are finally here. How should we attack Jiang Xia?"

"What's the situation in Jiang Xia now?" Chen Yang asked.

"Sun Quan is still working hard, and he will never give up if he doesn't kill Huang Zu."

Li Dian said: "Some time ago, Liu Qi came to Jiangxia to defend with Huang Zu, and they took advantage of the position, which made Sun Quan unable to do anything to Jiang Xia. After fighting for so long, Sun Quan only killed Huang Zu's one general, Zhang Shuo. "

Wen Pin added: "Huang Zu ordered his general Chen Jiu to defend Miankou with two huge Mengchong ships, and arranged for many archers to lie in ambush on the mountain near Miankou. On Sun Quan's side, Zhou Yu sent many The fleet wanted to break through Huang Zu's defenses, but was defeated in the end."

The Mengchong Ship is a kind of sailing ship in the Three Kingdoms period. It can also be understood as a warship, not a large warship, but a medium-sized one, but its power is not weak at all.

"Jiangxia's defense equipment is not lacking at all, no wonder Huang Zu is so stable, no one asked Liu Cong for help."

Chen Yang has been in Xiangyang for so long, but he has never seen Huang Zu's letter asking for help.

"Jiangxia is the largest granary in Jingzhou. The people are rich and the products are abundant. There is never a shortage of supplies in the army." Wei Yan also knows Jiangxia quite well.

They are still fighting water wars. As long as it is the side with less water warfare ordnance, it is basically at a disadvantage. For example, Chen Yang and the others now only have sailors, ordinary boats, some large water equipment, or warships. nothing.

"General, how do we attack the city?" Cao Fu asked.

"There will be a way!"

Chen Yang thought for a while, and then asked: "Liu Qi and Huang Zhong in Jiangxia don't know that Liu Cong has surrendered to us, do they?"

Wenpin shook his head and said, "I probably don't know yet."

Because of the slow transmission of news in ancient times and the inconvenient transportation, Wenpin was ordered by Chen Yang to deliberately intercept this news.

"They don't know the best. What I want is this kind of effect, so let's take Jiang Xia quickly."

Chen Yang asked again: "Do you have a map near Jiangxia?"

Li Dian took out a map and sent it to Chen Yang. After opening it, what he saw was the terrain around Jiangxia. Although the drawing was relatively simple, some mountains, rivers and rivers could basically be drawn.

After looking at the map for a while, Chen Yang asked again: "Did Sun Quan storm Miankou recently?"

"They fought once three days ago, led by Zhou Yu and Ling, but in the end they failed and failed to break through the battleship," Li Dian said.

"Here, it should be Miankou, right?"

Chen Yang pointed to the terrain on the map, and said: "There is a high slope near Miankou, Huang Zu's battleship is below, and the mountain above should be the place where Huang Zu ambushed Sun Quan. He stopped Sun Quan's attack from top to bottom. Coupled with the power of the battleship, this is why Sun Quan and the others have been unable to break through."

According to the historical data he read in later generations, when the two sides fought about the same, it was Zhou Yu who risked his life and led more than 100 people to solve the ambush on the mountain near Miankou, and then cut off the connection between the two warships, turning defeat into victory and breaking Jiangxia.

"That's right, the general hasn't arrived at Miankou yet, so he is already familiar with Huang Zu's layout." Wen Pin nodded.

"Based on your estimates, when will Sun Quan attack Miankou again?" Chen Yang asked again.

Li Dian thought for a while: "If I guess correctly, it will be tomorrow."

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Okay, let's start tomorrow night. When their war is over, Wen Chang, you and I will bring two hundred elites to attack the hillside near Miankou and annihilate the ambush people on the mountain. Zhong Ye, Mancheng, and General Huang, you just wait for my order on the mountain, I will use the fire light as my banner, and as soon as I see the fire light, I will immediately attack Huangzu's warship and take it down as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

They said in unison.

After Sun Quan and Huang Zu's warships finished fighting, they would be tired after the battle. Chen Yang took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but Huang Zu's side was in a hurry and had no time to prepare.

At that time, as long as Chen Yang and the others are fast enough, they will definitely be able to capture Miankou and push towards Jiang Xia.

After confirming the sneak attack plan, they each dispersed to rest.

In the afternoon of the next day, drums and thunder sounded near Miankou.

Chen Yang took the people around him and climbed up a nearby high mountain. Looking down, the two sides really started a fierce water battle.

It was the first time that Chen Yang saw how the water battle was fought after being in this era for so long, and it was already two hours later that he saw the end of the battle between the two sides.

There is no doubt that Sun Quan's side failed again.

"That's the power of the battleship? Powerful!" Chen Yang nodded and said.

Although these warships are far less powerful than later generations, they are very important in the ancient battlefield where cold weapons are the mainstay.

Thinking that he didn't even have a battleship, Chen Yang took a fancy to Huang Zu's two Mengchong ships in Jiangxia.

"Go back and prepare, and do it right away at night." Chen Yang said again.

Soon, it was night.

In the dead of night, Chen Yang took Wang Yue, Li Yuan, Wei Yan, Xia Houheng and others, and two hundred other elites to the mountain near Miankou.

"General, can I join the old general and the others?"

Cao Fan felt in his heart that it would be dangerous to follow Chen Yang, and he wanted to quit.

"If you keep blind Bibi, I'll throw you into the river and drown!"

Chen Yang snorted coldly and said, "Let me tell you, the military order is like a mountain, if you dare to disobey the military order and refuse to listen, even if I kill you, Zixiao will not complain to me at all."
