Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The river breeze at night penetrated through the cracks in the windows, and the lit candles in the house swayed. Liu Chan, who was meditating in front of the old Jingzhou map, couldn't help shivering twice, and the attendant stepped forward to close the window with great eyesight.

Liu Chan glanced at the attendant, and ordered: "Call Deng Jiangzhou and Chen Yongan."

"promise!"

Liu Chan moved slowly on the map with a lamp in his hand, illuminating the land of Jingzhou above.The hand holding the lamp paused for a long time in Jiangling, South County, and then moved up to Xiangyang, and the fingers flowed upstream along the Han River to the three counties in the East.

Liu Chan has to admit that the situation in the world at this time has exceeded his previous memory.Due to the consecutive victories of the Great Han in the Northern Expedition, the situation has changed greatly.

According to the latest intelligence, Cao Wei's central army was severely damaged after several defeats. In order to maintain a strong central army, Cao Wei dispatched soldiers from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Hebei to supplement the central army's strength.

At the same time, in order to resist the big Han's attack on Guanzhong, Cao Wei not only transferred Sima Yi to Guanzhong, but also transferred some soldiers from Jingzhou.As a result, Jingzhou's defense line was not as strong as before, which gave Soochow the courage to attack Jingbei in the north.

Um!It is estimated that the reason for the inability to attack Hefei in a row is also added. There is Zhang Liao in the front and Man Chong in the back.Long-term setbacks forced Sun Quan to readjust his strategy and refocus his attention on the weakened Jingbei.

Why do you say anew?
Because after Cao Pi's death, Sun Quan's troops sent three routes to attack Wei, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Ba attacked Jingzhou, but they were defeated by Cao Zhen and Sima Yi, and the general Zhang Ba died in battle.Now that Cao Zhen has died of illness, Sima Yi is far away in Guanzhong, and all the powerful enemies are gone. It is not surprising that Sun Quan thinks this way.

Liu Chan tapped Xiangyang on the map, raised the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "Guan Yu flooded the seven armies and was unable to capture Fancheng. How can you, Sun Quan, take the land of Jingbei with confidence? At that time, Cao Wei feared the enemy and surrendered Xiangyang. Sun Quan didn't dare to take it, it's really ridiculous."

The second city of Xiangfan is not a separate city, but a defense system of the Han River.Xiangcheng is on the south bank of the Han River, and Fancheng is on the north bank of the Han River. At the beginning, Guan Erye divided the two cities of Xiangfan with a powerful navy and rising summer water. With the help of heavy rain, he achieved a record of Megatron China.

At that time, Cao Pi ordered Cao Ren to burn the second city of Xiangfan and retreat to Wancheng. Sun Quan only sent Chen Shao to lead a small force to attack. Cao Pi regretted his original decision.Later, Cao Rencai led his army south to defeat Chen Shao, and Cao Weicai recaptured the second city of Xiangfan.

In other words, Sun Quan had a very good opportunity to occupy the second city of Xiangfan and encroach on the land of Jingbei.But Sun Quan didn't have this idea, which is really ridiculous.Now I realized that I wanted to fight, but I was limited to the second city of Xiangfan.But now Soochow wants to seize the land of Jingbei, basically starting from scratch.

All in all, Liu Chan is not optimistic about this joint operation. Sun Quan can fight a battle of annihilation and take the land of Jingbei.Of course, it's not certain, if Wei Jiang's mind is confused, sending Sun Quan a big victory is no exception.

After all, Sun Quan still hasn't figured out why it was so difficult to break through the Eastern Wu and Northern Expeditions?

When forming an alliance, and talking with myself, he also attributed the failure to the lack of elite cavalry in Soochow, hoping that the big man could help them form a large number of cavalry, and then join the Northern Expedition together.

Of course, the big man does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to go to Guanzhong in World War I, but he is a little more hopeful than Sun Quan.

While thinking, Liu Chan greedily looked at the land of Jingzhou on the map.If the great Han seizes Guanzhong and Bingzhou, and can have the land of Jingzhou, then the world will be settled!
Suddenly, Liu Chan thought of Dong Lixiong's memorial, and an evil idea came to his mind, that is to stab Soochow back and regain the land of Jingzhou.

"Your Majesty, Deng Jiangzhou and Chen Yong'an are asking to see you."

Liu Chan put away his greedy face and said lightly: "Xuan!"

"promise!"

"Chen Deng Zhi and Chen Dao pay homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will last forever!"

"Ai Qing, no courtesy!"

Liu Chan sat on the couch with his chest upright, and said: "The Han-Wu alliance is over now, and I will return to the capital. Chen Qing will still be stationed in the eastern border of the Han Dynasty to guard against incoming enemies."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to the trust of the country." Chen Dao said seriously.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said: "I discussed with Lord Wu to send troops to attack Wei together in the next year. At that time, Lord Wu will attack Jingbei, and the great Han will attack Guanzhong, and the division will conquer Shangyong. Therefore, I call you to come here tonight because of something. Discuss!"

Hearing this remark, the two of them got up in spirits, got up and said: "Please give orders, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan stood up and walked towards the map of the Three Eastern Counties hanging on the wall, followed by the two of them.

Under the light of the attendant holding up the lamp, Liu Chan pointed to Shangyong County and said to the two: "In the year after the Han Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty united, and the Eastern Wu raised troops to attack Jingbei. Ling County must be empty, it is a place for soldiers."

It's not that Liu Chan has a clever plan, and he can negotiate the route of dispatching troops one or two years in advance.It's just that there are only a few roads to attack the three eastern counties, one from the east of Han Dynasty, or one from Xiangyang to the west, and the north to cross the Daba Mountain Road, all of which are fixed.

Then, Liu Chan pointed to Fangling County and said: "Yong'an is adjacent to Fangling, and it is separated from Daba Mountain. You can send troops from Xingshan to enter Fangxian County."

Xingshan County was a county established in the mountains by Chen Dao stationed in Yong'an to guard against the three eastern counties a few years ago. Through this county, he could attack Fangxian County in Fangling County through the Daba Mountain Road.

However, this road is rough and difficult, and it can only be used as a surprise soldier, not the main force. It is most suitable for the white scorpion soldiers who are used to running in the mountains.

"Therefore, Chen Qing should organize his army to prepare for war, explore the roads in the mountains, and store food in the meantime, in case of emergencies. Deng Qing should also mobilize military supplies, supplement soldiers in Yong'an, and assist Chen Yong'an." Liu Chan said.

"promise!"

Chen Dao took the order excitedly, he didn't expect that his usefulness would come so suddenly.

Remembering that what he said next was a secret, Liu Chan glanced at the attendants in the room, and ordered: "Stand back first, and wait for the summons."

"promise!"

Liu Chan pointed to the rough southern Jingzhou standard on the map, and said in a low voice: "After I set off tomorrow and return to the capital, Chen Qing needs to spread scouts in Nanjun and other places under the guise of merchants to investigate the detailed military of Nanjun; Arrange spies in Wuling, Changsha and other places, borrow the people who surrendered to the Wuxi barbarians, make friends with the Wuling barbarians, and make friends with loyal Han people, for future use."

As soon as this remark came out, even the two who were mentally prepared couldn't help but widen their eyes. Not long after the new covenant between Han and Wu was agreed, His Majesty had the idea of ​​plotting Jingzhou.

Deng Zhi calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty wants to seek Jingzhou?"

Liu Chan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is undecided, and we must not let outsiders know about it. Everything must be done with care. After Deng Qing returns to Jiangzhou, Fuling County must be strictly governed. If there are people who do not obey, we will send troops to quell them." .”

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Ba State and Chu State competed in Fuling County, and several battles broke out; after Qin State pacified Badi, Sima went out of Fuling to attack Chu State through Wuling Mountain.

Therefore, Liu Chan's words are to tell Deng Zhi to be prepared. Once the Han Dynasty invades Jingzhou, Fuling County will become a forward base, and Fuling County must be controlled as much as possible.

"promise!"

Deng Zhi replied with twinkling eyes.

"This is a secret word, don't let it out. Anyone who violates it will be killed!"

"promise!"

Even with such an arrangement, there is no agenda for the great Han to defeat Wu, just to be prepared.If the big man wants to stab Soochow back and attack Jingzhou, he still has to wait until Jingzhou's internal changes and Jingzhou is empty.
