Chapter 677 Breaking the Army
The Shi family had secret contacts with the Qin State, of course Shi Bao knew about it.

When he was governor of Yangzhou, Shi Bao flirted with Soochow, so he was caught by Wang Chen, the supervisor of Huaibei, and slandered him for treason.

The Qin State sits in Hexi, so the Shi family cannot be spared such a huge interest exchange.

Shi Bao opened one eye and closed the other.

"Situ, Shi Ji, and the Buxie besieged Xiangyang for several months, and the governor of the king secretly reported that the Wu army has already slacked off." General Zhechong Yang Zhao reported.

Yang Zhao's father and ancestors were generals for three generations, both civil and military, and his son-in-law was the famous Pan An in history.

"In this case, my subordinates are willing to lead five thousand elites as the vanguard to break through the enemy's camp!" Xiao general Yan Xun begged for his order.

"How is the battle in Yiyang?" Shi Bao was respectful in front of Sima Yan, and in front of his subordinates, his words and deeds were full of majesty, as if he was a different person.

Yang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Wu Jun built a small boat and wanted to cross the river to fight. He was defeated by the King of Jin and stationed troops in Yiyang City. He lost his vigor. Zhong Hui stationed troops for a long time. I don't know what it means."

"It's nothing more than wishful thinking!" Shi Bao sneered.

Yan Xun said: "The two are the horns of each other, guarding the south bank of the Huai River, the King of Jin dare not move lightly, and the only one who can break the balance of power is Situ, making contributions at this time!"

Under Wang Jun, Yan Xun didn't have many chances to stand out.

Now that Jin and Wu are fighting, Yan Xun is more impatient than Shi Bao.

From Xinye to the east is Huaixi, and to the south is Fancheng. Wherever the [-] elite in hand go, they are a force that decides the outcome.

Shi Bao was waiting for this opportunity. Jia Chong even killed the emperor for the sake of the Sima family. Only by showing his true skills can Shi Bao gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty. Let the people of the world see my military strategy! Yang Zhao listened to the order and led an army of [-] with great fanfare, marching forward with great fanfare, to help Yiyang."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Strictly inquiring and listening to the order, eight thousand elites will be the vanguard, and go south to attack Shi Ji and the Buxie. If you don't break Wu Gou, come and see us!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Two generals, one east and one south, Shi Bao led an army of [-] to the south.

His goal in this battle is Jiangling!
Break the balance of the Three Kingdoms for decades.

Stepping and riding rolling down south, Shi Bao's temples are white, but he is full of vigor, as if he has returned to the era when he followed Sima Yi to fight in the north and south.

The Wu army had originally planned to feign an attack, and there was still a trace of vigilance at first, but the progress was smooth. Except for one Xiangyang in the south of the Han River, all other cities were captured by the Wu army.

Besieged the city for several months, and gradually took it lightly.

Yan Xun went south from Xinye and crossed the river at night without stopping.

Each with a short blade and a crossbow, went straight to the east camp of Wu Jun.

Shi Ji was getting old and hadn't woken up from a sound sleep.

Wu Jun was slacking off, and Yan Xun risked his life as soon as he came up. He rushed into the camp, slashing from left to right, killing from left to right. The soldiers under his command were originally the elite of the Chinese army. The mountains are shaking, as if there are thousands of troops.

Wu Jun didn't know how many enemy troops there were at night, and the camp was on fire, trampling on each other, completely disorganized and in chaos.

Wang Ai, the king of Xiangyang City, saw the chaos in Dongying, and led the defenders to fight out.

Shi Ji couldn't resist the attack from both sides, so he sent scouts to ask for help from the Nanying Buxie.

Since Sun Hao came to power, Ding Feng, Shi Ji, and Lu Kang have all been promoted, but Bu Xie is standing still, so it is inevitable to be worried.

Back then, the Bu family was on the side of King Lu Sun Ba, and was the deadly enemy of Sun Hao's father, Sun He.

It was Sun Hao's repeated force to dispatch troops this time, so the Buxie had no choice but to go north in person, leaving his younger brother Buchan to defend Xiling.

Buxie can survive until now, relying on the melodies in hand.

If the loss of strength is too great, he will be the governor of Xiling.

Seeing the sound of killing in the west, and not knowing the situation, he decided to stand still and wait until dawn.

Shi Ji's entire army was defeated.

Yan Xun insisted on clenching his teeth, and Wang Yi advised him to accept it as soon as he saw it, and wait for Shi Bao to cross the river, and join forces to attack the Buxie.

Yan Xun laughed loudly, "The thieves have lost their courage, and this is the opportunity to defeat the enemy!"

He also attracted elites to attack the southern camp.

He braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward, with several arrows in his body, he did not retreat.

Regardless of casualties, the Jin army followed suit.

Like a moth to a flame, with arrows in his body and blood pouring out, as long as he still has a breath, he will move forward bravely.

Originally the southern camp could be defended, but the Buxie was intimidated by Yan Xun's momentum and did not dare to fight, so they abandoned the southern camp and led their troops to retreat southward.

The [-] Wu army was defeated in the first battle. If it wasn't for the series of bloody battles, Shi Ji would have fallen under the city of Xiangyang this time. Even so, he would have been stabbed a few times and returned to Jiangling miserably.

The Jin army won a great victory, and Yan Xun became famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the third day, when Shi Bao crossed the river, he saw broken arms and limbs all over the ground, and the blood was flowing.

The Wu army retreated, but Shi Bao didn't want to let it go. The army took advantage of the victory to pursue and regained the counties in southern Jing, and marched to Jiangling.

Shi Ji was injured, and his heirs were all playboys. They were fond of literature and arty in Jianye, but none of them inherited their father's business.

Shi Ji defended the city with injuries and repelled the Jin army many times.

Shi Bao personally supervised the battle, and the Jin army attacked day and night, and was in danger.

The Buxie retreated to Xiling, not daring to fight again.

Shi Bao led his own soldiers and yelled at the base of the city, "The general trend of the world is in the Central Plains, and the Eastern Wu should perish. Why don't you come down sooner?"

How humble she used to be by Sima Yan's side, now how arrogant she is.

It seems that Jiangling can be broken immediately, and then lead the army to go straight to Jianye.

On the banks of the Yangtze River, Le Township.

Lu Kang picked up a handful of river water and washed his face.

"Northern people treat me like nothing in Jiangdong? The old dog Shi Bao dares to yell!" Wu Yan said angrily beside him.

Of course Lu Kang knew about the siege of Jiangling.

"Shi Bao is as famous as Deng Ai, and they were both promoted by Sima Yi. They have fought in the world for decades, and their soldiers are slightly superior, so they should not be underestimated." Lu Kangwen said.

The voice is like a person, the gentleness is like jade, and the temperament is elegant.

Such a person should be a scribe who denounced Fang Qiu, or a celebrity who talked eloquently.

But he is a general who commands tens of thousands of horses.

Around Wuyan are Zuo Yi, Cai Gong, Zhang Xian, Sun Zun, Zhu Qiao, Yu Zan and other generals, all of whom are the best of Jiangdong.

"Jiangling is an important city in the country, and there is no room for loss." Zuo Yi cupped his hands.

"The northern army is in full swing. Now rushing to help, our army may not have a chance of winning. Don't forget, Du Yu is eyeing the west, and the weight of Xiling is not below Jiangling." Lu Kang was not in a hurry.

Xiling guards the exit of the Three Gorges and is the upper reaches of Jiangling.

After Sun Hao succeeded to the throne, Buxie was quite uneasy, flirting with Du Yu on the west side.

Lu Kang knew it well.

The state of Qin coveted Jingzhou for more than a day or two. Yong'an has been stationed with [-] Qin troops all year round.

"There are tens of thousands of young men and people in Jiangling. When Wang Chang and Wang Ji came to attack with [-] troops, they all returned with their halberds broken. King Shi Bao's army of [-] or [-] is like capturing Jiangling. It is wishful thinking. Shi Bao underestimated me in Jiangdong. Just let him have a good time."

Shi Ji was only injured, not killed.

The autumn wind was rustling, and the river was covered with scales. Lu Kang put on his cloak, and his generals had deep worries in their eyes. To the north was the Jin army, and to the west was the Qin army, but you, Lu Kang, always had gentle eyes. Anxiety also gradually faded away.
