Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 273 Attacking Yizhou

Zhang Yun looked at Cai Mao with some puzzlement.Suddenly, Cai Mao turned his head and said to Zhang Yun: "You go to the navy camp immediately. If there is any change in Xiangyang, immediately order the navy to block the Yangtze River and cut off the connection between Jiangling and Jingnan!"

Zhang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Jingzhou might have undergone tremendous changes in recent days, so he nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhang Yun's back, Cai Mao sneered and said, "Liu Jingsheng, it's useless for you to be smart. It seems that you are doomed this time!"

……

Liu Biao was sitting in the hall with a smile on his face.Speaking of it, there is always a gloomy feeling in Liu Biao's smile.

Kuai Liang has followed him for many years, and he always thought that Kuai Liang was loyal to him, but at this moment, the members of the Kuai family turned traitor!
They want to transfer Liu Pan to Xiangyang, and their Kuai family is sitting in Jiangling!The abacus was well done!Thinking of this, Liu Biao said to his subordinates: "Go to Jiangling immediately and tell Liu Pan that no matter what happens in Xiangyang, you must not leave Jiangling without authorization!"

……

Xinye, Cao Cao's temporary residence.

"Prime Minister, my master has already made a plan, and Liu Biao has fallen into the trap, ordering Liu Pan not to leave Jiangling!" It was one of Kuai Yue's personal guards who spoke.

Cao Cao nodded: "It's really hard work! If this is the case, I will lead the soldiers to attack Xiangyang in three days!"

……

Ever since Zhang De heard that Cao Cao sent troops to Jingzhou, Zhang De realized that his most important cheating tool might have failed.

Cao Cao did not get all of Yuan Shao's territory as he wished. On the contrary, because Zhang De suddenly broke out, most of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses belonged to Cao Cao.

Historically, after the Battle of Guandu ended, Cao Cao took several years to completely occupy Yuan Shao's territory.The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff. After Yuan Shao's death, the combined power of the three northern states is still terrible.

However, due to the appearance of Zhang De, Wei Yan's army turned the whole Jizhou into a pot of porridge, making the three Yuan family brothers who could unite in history fight independently.Then, because of Lu Bu's appearance, Yuan Tan died in a short time.

The combination of various reasons made Cao Cao's army enter Jingzhou much earlier, and it was precisely because of this that Zhang De found that history had changed too much, and it was completely different from the history he knew!It is difficult for me to grasp the context of history as before!
The Three Kingdoms era in history lasted for nearly a hundred years. Zhang De asked himself that he could not live for so long. Zhang De really wanted to complete the unification of the land of China in his lifetime, but without the ability to predict the future, he himself did not know whether Zhang De could do it. .

But what is worth sobering is that he is the strongest among all the princes in the world today, and he is also the one with the greatest war potential.Even if Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, he might at most be as strong as himself.Who said Jingnan is a sparsely populated place!
The remaining Jiangdong Sun Quan, Yizhou Liu Bei, and Chang'an's Xiandi can only be regarded as average in overall strength, but Sun Quan has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, Liu Bei has the Bashu plank road, and Xiandi can be stationed at Tongguan. These three princes all have the advantage of the terrain.

Look at your subordinates again, Wen You Chen Gong, Li Rou, Lu Su, Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Wang Lang, Wang Xiu, Cui Yan, Guo Yuan, many of these people are first-class talents in the Three Kingdoms; , Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zang Ba, Xu Rong, Hao Zhao, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Guan Hai, etc., are also historical celebrities, and it stands to reason that I should not be afraid of anyone anymore!

Thinking of this, Zhang De's confidence was once again sufficient, especially since he still has a powerful navy!This is not available to other princes. When necessary, he can go straight to Jiangdong from the sea!
Today's Jiangdong, in the hilly area south of Kuaiji County, is still a mountainous place, and Sun Quan's influence cannot spread here at all. Therefore, compared with Wu County, this place is more suitable for Zhang De's landing, because it will not be affected by Sun Quan. Large-scale blocking!

Suddenly, Zhang De thought that in the east, across the sea, there is a big island!The island that was called Yizhou by Sun Quan-Treasure Island Taiwan!
If you start from Taiwan and go straight to Jiangdong, it is a good choice.At least it is not easy to be discovered by Sun Quan!
Zhang De knows that ever since he launched the Jizhou landing battle, the navy has been exposed to the princes. Whether it is in Xuzhou or Qingzhou, there must be many spies of Sun Quan. eyes and ears.

But starting from Taiwan is different. At that time, as long as there is a sea ban to prevent all large ships from going out to sea, at least they can guarantee the suddenness of their actions.

Thinking of this, Zhang De immediately called Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was originally a water thief, and he was also a very courageous person. When he heard that Zhang De wanted to fight against Yizhou, he became interested. After that, Zhang De called Wei Yan.Wei Yan likes the god of surprise the most, and he is good at adapting to changes. It would be best to leave such a thing to Wei Yan.

……

In June of the seventh year of Jian'an, Zhang De sent troops to Yizhou. This time, Zhang De only sent 8000 people.After all, in history, Sun Quan occupied Yizhou, and it took less than [-] people!And Zhang De can't come up with any more troops!

At the same time, Cao Cao's army marched south from Xinye and went straight to Xiangyang.When Cao Cao surrounded Xiangyang, he immediately sent general Cao Ren to occupy the front line of Dangyang in Fancheng, so that neither Liu Pan of Jiangling nor Liu Qi of Jiangxia could rescue Xiangyang.

But Liu Pan and Liu Qi were surprisingly calm, and they didn't have the slightest intention to help Xiangyang.

Liu Pan had already been instructed by Liu Biao not to leave Jiangling without authorization, and although Liu Qi wanted to rescue Xiangyang, he was persuaded by Zhuge Liang.Now Cao Cao has completely isolated Xiangyang, and there are many aristocratic families in Xiangyang, which can be described as internal and external troubles. Zhuge Liang is not optimistic about Liu Biao at all.

Rescuing Liu Biao is just a waste of troops, and even if Xiangyang is successfully rescued, the troops in his hands may fall into Liu Biao's hands in the end.

Although Zhuge Liang is very resourceful, he is greedy for power. Under Liu Qi, he holds great power, but if Liu Qi's troops are all in Liu Biao's hands, it may be difficult for him to gain so much power!
Today's Zhuge Liang is like a god in Liu Qi's heart.Liu Qi obeyed Zhuge Liang's words, coupled with his eloquence that could challenge the Confucians, after Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Qi gave up the time to rescue Xiangyang.

……

Outside the city of Xiangyang, Cao Cao lined up, and strange looking things were brought out...
