I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 I want to decide Ruxuwu, even if the Jade Emperor comes, it will be useless!
As long as the top leader can keep his composure, the people below him will naturally be able to keep his composure as well.

If the top leader is too emotional and flips the table after losing one or two games, the people below will be in chaos.

Emotion is a good thing, it can completely ruin a good situation.

It allows a person to be led along like a marionette.

It can keep a person at the bottom forever, unable to turn over.

It can be said that Sima Yi and Sima Master have perfectly overcome this fatal weakness of human beings.

Li Heng was not as good as Sima Yi in this regard, but at least he knew the general picture at such an important time.

From June 21st, when the Hefei Wei army arrived at the Xuzhou battlefield one after another, Sima Division began to divide its troops into two groups, launch a forceful attack on Wang Ling, and launch a fierce attack.

Both sides used heavy artillery, crossbowmen, infantry and cavalry that day.

Especially Cao Wei's cavalry.

Even though casualty figures were reported to him every day, he remained calm and composed.

He will never give ambiguous instructions like others, just in case he can blame him later.

Of course, the Han cavalry also gave a full counterattack. They ran back and forth on the battlefield to cover the flanks, preventing the Wei cavalry from fully deploying their arms and legs.

In this battle of Xuzhou, the number of Cao Wei's cavalry was as high as 50,000, accounting for half of the number.

Wang Ling is as stable as an old dog in the Chinese army.

His confidence comes from Li Heng's magnanimity, trust in him, and clarity of goals.

They divided into multiple branches and launched a flanking attack on the Han army's five or six miles long defense line.

With its superior strength, the Wei army took the initiative and continued to launch fierce attacks on the Han army.

Moreover, this operation was carried out across the two states, forcing out all the forces of the Wei army in the two states.

This style of doing things made the goals of the Han army very clear and they knew what they were doing.

And all of them were equipped with double stirrups. When they charged, they were like a large torrent of steel on the battlefield dozens of miles deep.

Moreover, the frequency of this attack was very intensive. First, a large number of bows and arrows were used to attack. The rain of arrows from the sky impacted the armor of the Han army infantry, making countless clanging sounds.

In late June, the Sima Division invaded Xuzhou like fire. The states and counties in Xuzhou that had surrendered to the Han Dynasty immediately changed their status quo, changed the flags on the city walls, and began to praise the Emperor of Wei.

Then he made a charge towards the Han army.

But they were never able to defeat the Han army in a short time.

On a battlefield of this level, the operators are usually at the level of Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lu Xun.

Yang Dan is a civil servant. He has never fought in many wars in his life. Who would have thought that he would meet Li Heng's Northern Expedition just after he came to Yangzhou this year.

At this time, the Wei army suddenly discovered that the Han army, which had been rushing all the way, suddenly seemed to have turned into a tortoise. No matter how the Wei army was tempted, they would not separate into multiple armies.

A confrontation of this scale lasted for several days between the two sides from Pengcheng to Lu County.

He found that the biggest difference between Li Heng and other power masters was that Li Heng gave very direct and clear instructions.

The situation in Yangzhou is completely opposite to that in Xuzhou.

Even strong generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Wang Ling, and Guanqiu Jian can only be in the second echelon.

How can He De, Yang Dan, fight in Yangzhou in such a difficult battle?
I'm afraid only Yangdan himself knows the pain in his heart.

While praying that Ruxuwu could be defended for several months, on June 25, more Han warships gathered on the river near Ruxukou.

Ruxuwu is the water mouth between Ruxu Mountain and Qibao Mountain. There are warships from the Kingdom of Wu staying at the water mouth.

This terrain, for attackers, is a hell-like existence.

Both mountains are condescending, and if the warships at Shuikou block them, as many enemies as they come will die.

This is the key point that Cao Wei and Sun Wu have been fighting for for decades.

Sun Quan was able to make several northern expeditions to Hefei because he occupied Ruxuwu.

The reason why Cao Wei could not go south to destroy Wu for decades was because the Wu army was stuck in Ruxuwu.

Standing on Ruxu Mountain and looking down, the Han warships on the Yangtze River are arranged as densely as the tiles on a house. On the same day, the Han army envoy arrived at the main general camp of the Wei army.

Chen Qian, the confidant of Sima Shi who was guarding Ruxuwu, was quite strategic.

Ruxuwu is such an important place, so Master Sima naturally doesn't want to give it to others.

The envoy to the Wei army was Lu Kang.

Chen Qian saw Lu Kang and asked, "Who are you?"

"The general of the Han Dynasty joins the army to fight on land."

"Oh, are you Lu Xun's son?"

"Yes, my father, Lu Boyan."

"Since you are Lu Xun's son, why did you surrender to Li Jian?" Chen Qian said, "Don't you know that Li Jian killed your father?"

"I know very well about my father's death. Besides, everyone is their own master."

"Everyone has his own master, he is worthy of being Lu Boyan's son." Chen Qian sneered, "Why are you here with me?"

"Come to persuade us to surrender," Lu Kang said.

"Persuade to surrender?" Chen Qian was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

Other Wei army officers also laughed.

"Li Jian has been in the Yangtze River for more than two months. It is true that he has strong troops and horses, but can he attack it?" Chen Qian said bluntly, "Ruxuwu is impregnable and Li Jian cannot do anything, but he naively thought that he could persuade us to surrender. ?”

Everyone laughed again.

"I can persuade you to surrender."

"Young man, you look seventeen or eighteen years old. Have you ever taken a knife and killed someone?"

"Never killed."

"How dare you be an envoy if you haven't killed me before? Do you think you really won't kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting?"

"What good will it do to you if you kill me?" Lu Kang said with a smile, "To vent your dissatisfaction? If killing me can make you feel happy, then kill me."

"Why do you want to kill your little boy who doesn't even have hair on his head?"

"That's it. Since you don't want to kill me, just listen to what I have to say. When I finish, you can just laugh at me slowly."

"Okay, tell me, how do you persuade us to surrender?"

Lu Kang said: "I guess Ruxuwu only has two months of military rations."

As soon as he said these words, a trace of gloom flashed across Chen Qian's face.

"Keep talking." Chen Qian smiled.

"Our army has cut off the water channels from Shouchun and Hefei to Ruxuwu."

Lu Kangyu refused to stop until he was shocked.

"This is impossible!" Chen Qian said, "How do you cut it off? Ruxukou is in our hands!"

"Leave from Lujiang County."

"That's even more impossible. Wen Qin, the governor of Lujiang County, won't just watch you arrive in Hefei."

"General, why don't you go and ask?" Lu Kang looked into Chen Qian's eyes calmly, which made Chen Qian a little surprised.

"Shall I go to Lu'an to ask?"

"Just go to Hefei and ask, or take a look."

Everyone fell silent and no longer laughed at Lu Kang like before.

Chen Qian bit the bullet and said, "We have been hoarding military rations in Ruxuwu for at least a year."

"Oh, in that case, I will not persuade you to surrender. Our army will continue to cross Hefei and Ruxukou." Lu Kang said, "The general said, I will give you half a month. If you don't surrender, you will have no chance to surrender in the future." ”
