Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Liu Chan led his army to break through Jiangbei Xiaoting, and it needs to be traced back to Lu Xun's elite north attack Wang Ping.

I said before that there is Huya Mountain in the north of the East River in Yiling, and Jingmen Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. The positions of Xiaoting and Huya Mountain almost overlap.Therefore, Wu Jun's army stuck to the Huya and Xiaoting areas, and since then echoed Yiling City to prevent Liu Chan's army from going east.

Since Liu Chan realized that the Wu army was likely to launch a battle in the near future, it would disintegrate the offensive of the big man.So they dispatched a large number of scouts from Longquan Town, north of Huya Mountain, across the mountains to the north of Xiaoting Camp, watching for signs of Lu Xun sending troops.

To the north of Huya Mountain, there are lush forests and numerous mountains, which are the remaining veins of Daba Mountain. There are no people living in it, and the roads are rugged and difficult to pass.Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth communication of information between Liu Chan's army and Wang Ping's troops, the scouts had to go against Linjushui and go to Dangyang through Linju County (now Anyuan County), so that the information of the two armies could be transmitted to each other.

However, because Linju is too far away, the information gap between the two armies is too long.So Liu Chan besieged Yiling City and ordered people to explore the trails, thinking that the time for the two armies to pass information would be shortened.

The scouts discovered that there is Yibai Linshui to the west of Huya Mountain, and Longquan Town to the north of it. Longquan Town has long been uninhabited due to frequent wars.And there is a small road to the east. Although it is difficult to walk, it can pass through Huya Mountain and reach the Hanjiang Plain.

Therefore, the scouts of the Han army were widely deployed here to check whether the Xiaoting camp had any signs of using troops to the north.Sure enough, in order to open up the situation, Lu Xun led an elite army to send troops to the north.The news of Lu Xun's dispatch of troops was noticed by the scouts of the big man, and the news was quickly sent to Liu Chan.

After Liu Chan knew about it, he quickly summoned his generals to discuss military affairs, and planned to take advantage of Lu Xun's attack on Wang Ping in the north, to rectify the soldiers and besiege the Xiaoting camp, or to cooperate with Wang Ping to defeat Lu Xun, or to cross the Yangtze River south to enter the barbarian road.

During the period, Fu Xun believed that the navy could be used to break through the defense lines of Jingmen and Huya, cooperate with the frontal enemy to flank the Wu camp at Xiaoting, and attack the Wu camp from the rear of Xiaoting.

As soon as this strategy was proposed, it was rejected by Huo Yi, the commander of the navy. He believed that Huya Mountain was full of huge rocks and hidden reefs.There are many shipwrecks coming and going here, and the boats going up and down passing through this place are afraid of looking at the beach, so that the sailors often avoid the beach and go to the south bank of the Jingmen River. Although Lu Xun is gone, the main force of the navy is still there.

Just when everyone was talking, Huang Quan once again demonstrated his military talent. He thought that the army could leave an army to attack Xiaoting camp head-on to bluff.However, Liu Chan can lead the main force of the army from the mountains near Longquanyi to the north of Xiaoting camp.

Xiaoting is located in the east of Huya Mountain. This is the first alluvial plain after the Yangtze River exits the Three Gorges. It is narrow from east to west and wide from north to south. It is a long and narrow plain.

There is Huya Mountain in the west of Xiaoting, and hills in the east, and the Jianghan Plain is beyond the hills.The south is close to the Yangtze River, and the north is also hilly.

That is to say, Huang Quan suggested that the Han Dynasty should bypass the Huya Mountain from the north, and lead the army southward through the hilly area in the north, occupying the northern mountain of Xiaoting Camp.At that time, the Han army will occupy the mountain in the north, while the Wu army will camp on the Xiaoting Plain, and the layout will be within the sight of the Han.

This is also the language of the art of war: Those who want to fight should welcome guests without being attached to water.It also said: Every army likes to be high and hates to go down.

At that time, the camp set up by Wu Jun's Xiaoting camp will be a strong camp from the east to resist the Han Dynasty.As a result, it has become a land with high mountains in front and big rivers in the back, which is a big taboo for military strategists.The big man reversed the unfavorable situation and used the geographical advantage to deal with Wu.

That's right!Huang Quan's strategy is similar to the wonderful strategy he proposed for Lao Liu to cross the Daba Mountain and bypass Yangping Pass during the Battle of Hanzhong.It's just that Lao Liu occupied Dingjun Mountain on the south bank of the Han River, while Liu Chan led an army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, occupying the northern hills.

Upon hearing the words, Liu Chan decisively adopted Huang Quan's strategy, and appointed Wu Ban and Huo Yi to lead the army to stay in Yiling, pretend to attack Yiling, and attack Xiaoting in the east, so that the Wu people would not know the movements of Liu Chan's army.

That night, Liu Chan led an army of [-] to march northward, and went northward against the Bai Linshui, passing through the Longquanyi Mountain Road, and crossing the Huya Mountain.These [-] troops are all the elite of the Han army, and they are all veterans of Bashu. They are good at fighting in the mountains, and they are naturally good at climbing mountains and mountains.

Therefore, Liu Chan's troops marched very fast instead of slow.The army walked through the hills, and after a day and a night of rapid marching, it approached the Wu army's Xiaoting camp.However, the Wu army was not unprepared. The soldiers of its northern battalion discovered the main force of Liu Chan's army and issued an emergency forecast.

The North Camp of the Wu Army was set up on Mazong Mountain, which was at the highest point in the northern hills of Xiaoting.Lu Xun led the army to rule Xiaoting and set up a camp in the north to prevent the Han army from raiding.However, as Lu Xun led an elite army to attack Wang Ping in the north, Wu Ban and Huo Yi attacked Huya's west camp in the front, so the north and east camps were empty.

Of course, Liu Chan didn't know about this, so in order to preemptively attack, so as not to occupy a disadvantageous position, Liu Chan made a decisive decision and ordered Meng Yan, who was the forward, to lead the tiger infantry to attack the Wu army's Mazong Mountain North Camp.The rest of the tribes formed an array around the mountains to prevent the Wu army on the Xiaoting Plain from coming to support.

Sure enough, Quan Cong, who was staying at the camp of the Wu army, was shocked when he heard the news, and dispatched a large army to rescue the northern camp of Mazong Mountain.After a fierce battle, the soldiers of the Wu army sent by Quan Cong were defeated by the Han army who surrounded the mountain. Fortunately, the northern camp of the Wu army was empty, and the big Han quickly captured the northern camp of Mazong Mountain.

After going up the mountain, Liu Chan relied on the Wu army's camp to build the Mazong Mountain camp, overlooking the alluvial plain of Xiaoting from a condescending height.Liu Chan and Huang Quan and his ministers were on the mountain. How to mobilize the Wu army in the Xiaoting camp, how to set up the formation, how to set up the camp, and where the weak spots are, are all in the eyes of Liu Chan and Huang Quan.

However, Quan Cong was not Xia Houyuan, and he did not lead his own soldiers to repair the antlers. Instead, he led a large army to mobilize chariots and horses to set up an array to prevent the Han army from being condescending and attacking them easily.

Liu Chan was going to attack at night, but Guan Xing thought it was impossible.He thought that the army had traveled so far, and the soldiers were tired. Now that they are fully prepared, and it is night, he does not know what the enemy's strength is.Our army can attack east and west, pretend to attack the big camp, and actually order people to seize the east camp in Zhaowangshan, so that the enemy does not know what our army is really like, so as to break Quan Cong, and can prevent Lu Xun from returning to the army for rescue.

Liu Chan adopted Guan Xing's advice and ordered people to pretend to capture the Wu camp that night, but was repelled by a large number of bows and crossbows arranged by Quan Cong in the Xiaoting camp.However, Fu Xun took the opportunity to capture King Zhao's Shandong camp, blocking Quan Cong's attempt to unite with Lu Xun through the road.

The next day, Liu Chan was condescending and divided his troops into the Zhaowang and Mazong battalions to attack the Xiaoting camp.Quan Cong was located on the plain, so he didn't know how the Han army was deployed, so he had to rely on the Yangtze River Water Village to defend.

In the morning, Liu Chan ordered people to pretend to go out of Mazong's northern camp, but actually went out to King Zhao's east camp to attack Quan Cong.Quan Cong's defense was improper, and many soldiers under his command were killed or injured.In the afternoon, Liu Chan played a trick and quickly dispatched troops through the mountains. First, he went out to the north camp of Ma Mane, and then to the east camp of King Zhao, breaking down the two camps of the Wu army.

It was night, and Quan Cong could not hold on, so he led his army across the Yangtze River on a large ship, and set up camp at Yidao on the south bank of the Yangtze River.The big Han was also helpless about this, the Wu army's navy was strong, and the Han army's navy was hard to resist in a head-on confrontation, so he had to watch Quan Cong retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the end, Liu Chan captured the Xiaoting camp and ordered Wu Ban to lead an army of [-] people to rely on the previously built camp to besiege Yiling and ensure the food roads for the army.Huo Yi camped on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and sent people through Mount Yu to go south to inquire about Deng Zhi's troops.

And Liu Chan himself led the main force to stay in Xiaoting, but Liu Chan was not satisfied with this. After he learned that Lu Xun had lost to Wang Ping, he appointed Ma Dai, Yuan Hong and other cavalry generals to go down the Yangtze River to prevent the Wu army from retreating through the navy. On the south bank of the Yangtze River, trying to intercept and kill Lu Xun's army.

At the same time, he also got information from Deng Zhi's subordinates. Since the Wuling army was in the north, Wuling County was empty. After Deng Zhi entered the county, he easily captured the northern counties of Wuling County, united with the local barbarians, and quickly stabilized the situation.

As for Ma Zhong's situation...
