Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1382
In today's world, the Han Dynasty is in name only, and the five princes control the world. Among the five princes, Jiangdong Wu is not the weakest, even if it is not the strongest.

Jiangdong is in a corner, and the Yangtze River is both a natural danger and a hindrance.

The deterrent effect on the Central Plains is not strong.

But Sun Jian, King of Wu, had a ferocious plan. Sun Jian did not go out of Jiangdong once or twice.

Such a king of Wu, even if he just sits on Jiangdong and does not have enough cavalry to sweep the Central Plains, is also the overlord that many princes fear.

But it is such an overlord.

Forcibly trapped and killed in his capital.

Countless people like this felt very incredible, especially the sneak attack of the Ming army, which simply defeated Wu State in the most powerful place of Wu State.

The most powerful state of Wu is the navy.

However, the Ming army sneaked in through the waterway, separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and took down the capital of the Wu Kingdom, and forced Sun Jian, the king of Wu, who was a generation of fierce tigers in the east of the Yangtze River, to commit suicide before the battle.

As soon as the news came out, Wu Guo fell directly to the bottom of the valley.

The navy of the Ming army can be regarded as a god in World War I.

And more importantly, the death of King Sun Jian of Wu has quickly caused restlessness in the whole world.

After all, it is a prince.

Controlling the land of Jiangdong, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and tens of millions of people under his command, such an overlord can shake the world even if he stomps his feet. His death will not only shake Jiangdong, but the whole world.

The state of Wu lost its great king, Sun Jian, and still has a successor. Although it will not collapse overnight, its strength will definitely suffer. Whether it will be able to sit firmly in Jiangdong in the future is a problem.

This is also a big variable for the world structure.

More critical is one point.

Now that the princes of the world are attacking the Ming Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom has responded and sent troops to join forces. In this battle, the ferocity displayed by the Ming Kingdom is enough to shock the heroes of the world.

"You're going to hit me, aren't you?

I will kill you first! "

In this way, the Ming Dynasty told the princes of the world that not only would they not evade, they would not only fight and defend, but they would also attack.

Since you have provoked our Ming country, you are waiting to be retaliated.

Don't say it yet.

This kind of deterrence is somewhat useful. Regardless of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Liu Bei, they all have to be more careful when marching, and check their defenses more carefully when attacking.

Wu Guochao was raided, although it was just a sneak attack, such an opportunity, it is difficult to have a second time, after all, Wu Guo is special, and the Ming army was able to make a surprise attack because it took advantage of loopholes.

It is precisely because the Wu State is good at the water army that it neglects the defense on the waterway. They think that the water army is elite, unparalleled in the world, unique in the waterway, and unstoppable, so they advocate offense and neglect defense.

This gave the Ming army navy a chance, but this opportunity is only once, and there will be no second time. Once Jiangdong reacts and deploys defenses along the waterways along the river, no matter how strong the Ming army navy warships are, it will not be the second time. Dare to rush inside.

Of course, although the death of King Wu shocked the world, it did not affect the strategic deployment of the crusade against the Ming Kingdom this time, and even because of this, the princes of the world were more determined to crusade this time.

The threat of the Ming Dynasty has already been shown. Whether it is Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, or even Cao Cao, they all think that it is difficult to compete with the Ming army alone.

Only when they unite, strangle Ming country in its development, and never give Ming country any chance, otherwise time will let Ming country continue to grow, and they will have no chance.

When the time comes, one can even just watch helplessly as the Ming Kingdom dominates the world.

Because of the influence of Jiangdong, the princes from all walks of life dispatched the main force quickly and violently.

The main force of the Wei army has already moved south along the way. In Runan and Yingchuan, more than 15 troops have been stationed.

In mid-March, when the flowers were supposed to be in full bloom and the green grass was green, it was a good time for an outing in spring. However, on the border of Nanzhou, the First Violent Bear Army was facing a sniper attack from the vanguard army of the Wei Army.

The leading general of the Wei army was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu may not be willing to be driven by Cao Cao, but it has to be said that he has gradually integrated into the court, at least for Cao Cao, the king of Wei's military orders, he is omniscient.

He led the vanguard, attacked from Kunyang, and went straight to Ye County, the first line of defense guarded by the Ming army.

Three battles and three victories.

On the battlefield, Lu Bu once again explained the meaning of the God of War. Under the leadership of the soldiers, he is invincible, with a red rabbit horse under his crotch, and Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. Like a pair of sharp scissors, he tore through the net of the Ming army and directly defeated the main force of the two battalions of the Ming army's Violent Bear First Army.

Finally, Zhou Cang was forced to withdraw from Ye County.

After Zhou Cang lost Ye County, he quickly deployed a second line of defense, Duyang, mainly Duyang City, and formed a defensive front along the terrain outside Duyang City.
Moreover, the large-scale sniper crossbow transported from Wancheng was placed on the bed. If Lu Bu dared to show his personal force again, Zhou Cang was ready to snipe him directly in the army formation.

But before two days had passed, a news came suddenly that General Xia Houdun of the Wei Army attacked westward from Runan, broke through Zhongyang Town, and went straight to Wuyin County.

Zhou Cang panicked.

But Wuyin is behind Duyang. If you cross to the west, you can easily cut off the connection between Duyang and Wancheng, turning Duyang into an isolated city. Once Xiahoudun really ventured through his back , then the Violent Bear First Army might be trapped to death in Duyang City.

In desperation, before the first battle was fought, Zhou Cang withdrew his troops to the south in a hurry, and stationed Xi'e and Bowang in the two gateway cities north of Wancheng, relying on Wancheng to establish a line of defense.

As a result, the northern part of Nanzhou has almost been occupied by the Wei army.

………………

It has been raining in spring for several days.

This made the march difficult.

The army marched to Shangyong, and the light rain became heavier, so they had to camp in Shangyong temporarily.

What the Ming army has always flattered is to not disturb the place as much as possible during the march.

So we can only camp in the suburbs.

But even in the suburbs, it can be seen that the development of Shangyong County is different, and the smooth and smooth concrete roads have already demonstrated the strength of infrastructure.

Shangyong County can also be regarded as a main city. In the past, it was one of the main cities in Hanzhong and the center of the western part of Hanzhong. This city has developed rapidly in recent years. The former Hanzhong is now Hanzhou of the Ming Dynasty. The place where it stood in the past can also be regarded as the place where dragons rise, with great development advantages.

The Ming Dynasty’s New Deal, in fact, many people can see the recruitment from Hanzhong, so Hanzhong adapts quickly and develops very quickly. Whether it is local construction or economics, it is the best among the states in the Ming Dynasty.

Mujing wanted to go north, and he took the road in Hanzhong. He entered Fangling from Shangyong, then took the Dongshan plank road, and entered Nanzhou from Dongshan plank road.

However, due to Chun Yu's relationship, the speed of the army's march was reduced a lot.

"Take a break for two days!"

This is going to the battlefield to fight, not to go up to die. It is best not to do marching in the rain, otherwise many people will fall down without going to the battlefield.

Mu Jing ordered a rest, and then summoned a few generals: "All ministries must be prepared for rain, and tell your military doctors to prepare some anti-cold medicine as much as possible. I don't want to, and I haven't gone to the battlefield yet. Just fall down!"

"Yes!"

The generals surrendered.

After giving the order, Mujing and Yingzhong read books quietly. In this environment, reading books can calm the mind, and the closer they are to the battlefield, the faster the heartbeat will feel.

So you have to stay calm.

At this time, it is useless to be anxious. As the chief general, if he cannot stabilize his mind, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

It is true that the Ming army is elite.

But people are afraid of death. When they go to the battlefield, few people dare to say that they can go down smoothly. At this time, the emotion of fear exists in everyone.

It's just that the veterans on the battlefield and the elite soldiers will not express it, but hide it in their hearts. They will overcome their fear on the battlefield.

This is the difference between recruits and veterans, between no-names and elites.

But even the elite, if you are the chief general, you will be worried, and even feel that you will die on the battlefield, which will be directly infected.

At this time, what Mu Jing wanted was self-confidence and composure, and his every move would affect the morale of the army.

"Your Majesty, the last general, Su Hui, begs to see you!"

"Enter!"

Mu Jing put down the book, and spoke calmly.

A young man walked in.

One of the most outstanding youths under the seat of Tan Zong, Jing Wusi, is also the elite trained by Tan Zong. Jing Wusi has fully mobilized, and the news is about to move before the army has moved.

However, there was also a person in charge who was in charge of directly connecting with Mu Jing and passing on news from Jing Wusi. This time, it was Su Hui who was in charge of connecting with Mu Jing.

Su Hui is not a scholar, he is a butcher, but this butcher was chosen by Tan Zongxiang, stayed by his side all the time, taught writing, and raised him carefully, he became half his son.

This also shows Tan Zong's trust in Su Hui.

"My lord, there are two pieces of news, both of which have been sent back urgently!"

Su Hui bowed his head and handed over two small notes, which appeared to be tied to the pigeon, and the pigeon sent the letter back.

"Have you decoded it?"

Mu Jing asked softly.

"It has been decoded, this is the translated version!" Su Hui handed over another playbook, and Jing Wusi used numbers as the code to pass it on. Even if it is intercepted, there is no way to decipher it without the codebook. In today's world, the most secretive and most secure way comes from Mujing's instructions.

"Let me see what the news is!"

Mu Jing walked down, didn't look at the note that the original code was passed on, but personally took out the deciphered playbook from Su Hui's hand.

The first news is that Jiang Dong sent back.

is a bad news.

The Ming army's Jingping navy and Baoxiong navy broke through from Jianye. Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang frantically burned a handful of money, successfully pinned Sun Ce to Jianye, and then broke out at night.

Breaking through the siege went smoothly, but they were hit by a violent storm on the river. They were chased by Zhou Yu's frenzied warships, and Tai Shici led an army in the Yangtze River. Large-scale trebuchets and catapults were arranged between several river ferries. A long-range bed crossbow for sniping.

lost heavily.

Although they finally managed to break through the siege and get out of the Yangtze River waterway, at least one-third of the warships were sunk, and even a large ship was sunk abruptly.

As for the casualties of the generals, there is no specific news yet.

"Order Jiangdong to find out as much news as possible. If you leave the East China Sea, you will be safe. This East China Sea is still the territory of the Wu army and the navy. You must know their situation as soon as possible!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice.

The Jiangdong battle was won, Jianye was burned, and Sun Jian died in the battle. In a short period of time, the state of Wu must not have any energy to participate in the battle against the Ming state.

It can be regarded as solving an opponent.

This is a good thing.

But the loss is also too great.

You must know that the Jingping Navy and the Stormy Bear Navy were built by the Ming army for many years with all their painstaking efforts. Such a loss is enough to make Mu Jing feel distressed for a long time.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the second thing.

This was sent expedited from Nanzhou.

The situation in Nanzhou is obviously not good.

The first Violent Bear Army was defeated, which is acceptable. After all, the main force of the Wei Army was moving southward, as fierce as a tiger, but it was about to be unstoppable, and the entire northern part of Nanzhou was lost.

This was unexpected.

It's hard to say whether Wancheng can stop it.

The north couldn't stop it, so many people who had already prepared themselves before the war started, and many people who had already started to migrate to the south, left only empty cities.

It is a strategy to fortify the wall and clear the field.

Nanzhou used to be Nanyang. Nanyang was the first county in the Han Dynasty, with the largest population and the best productivity. The most precious thing was human resources.

Just block the mouth.

Nanzhou can accept it even if all the north is occupied.

But there is a dividing line.

That is the capital of Nanzhou, Wancheng must not be lost.

Once Wancheng is lost, the battle of the entire Nanzhou will become very difficult, and it will even become very difficult for the Ming army to gain a foothold, and it will be difficult to even attack.

At that time, you can only defend and get beaten.

"Where is the second army now?"

"Yesterday's news is that after just passing Huyang City, it will take at least a day or two to go north!" Su Hui quickly reported that as a member of Jingwu Division who is in contact with Mujing, he is very sensitive to news. He would remember the news very well, whenever Mujing asked, he would be able to answer.

"Keep watching!"

Mu Jing said softly: "If Wei Jun has any movement, he must report it!"

"promise!"

Su Hui heaved a sigh of relief and bowed his hands to accept the order.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Su Hui turned and left.

However, Mu Jing began to think about this piece of information.

He looked up, and it was raining in spring outside. Even if he wanted to travel at this time, it would be a bit difficult, unless his physical fitness was particularly good, such as the southern barbarians.

After thinking about it, he called Zhang Ren.

"Your department selects five thousand elites and marches quickly to Wancheng!"

Mujing told him directly: "Wancheng may be a bit unstoppable!"

"promise!"

Zhang Ren did not ask any questions, and took the order directly.
