The last three kingdoms

Chapter 676 Sneak Attack on Yiyang
Yiyang County is a small county. In the first year of Wei Huangchu, four counties were separated from Jiangxia and Runan counties to establish Yiyang County. The four counties under its jurisdiction are Yiyang, Qisi, Jixian and Xixian. Yang, Yiyang County is located in the south of the Huaihe River and north of the Dabie Mountains. Although it is a small county, it is a strategic place connecting Jingzhou and Huainan.

However, since Yiyang County was established for more than [-] years, although it is located in the border area between Wei and Wu, there has never been a war. The main reason is that it is separated from Wuchang by the Dabie Mountains, which is hundreds of miles away. Naturally, it is impossible for the Soochow army to cross the Dabie Mountains and attack Yiyang, so the people of Yiyang have been living a life like a paradise.

The former prefect of Yiyang is also a relatively leisurely position. Because there is no war, Yiyang County has always had very few troops. At most, it only maintained 7000 people. This time the southern line mobilized troops to go north, and Yiyang was also drawn away. With 2000 troops, there are now less than [-] soldiers in Yiyang.

However, Xia Yi, the prefect of Yiyang, didn't care. How many soldiers he sent away didn't mean anything to Xia Yi. He stretched himself. Lying on the low couch, I just woke up from a nap, and my eyes are still a little dazed.

"My lord... something is wrong, Wu Jun... Wu Jun has entered the city..." A follower ran in suddenly, looking at Xia Yi in a panic, stammering.

"What?" Xia Yi's drowsiness disappeared, and before he could sit up, a group of heavily armed soldiers from the Wu army had broken into his mansion, with bows and crossbows in hand, and the swords were threatening, which shocked Xia Yi. stunned.

Didn't it mean that Yiyang is not a place of war, why so many Wu troops have emerged at this moment, and they have also attacked the prefect's mansion. Are those defenders just for nothing?

Xia Yi has become a prisoner of the Wu army at this moment, but he vented his anger on the Jin soldiers defending the city, but he didn't realize that, as the prefect of Yiyang, he should pay the main responsibility for Yiyang's fall. He Xia Yi slept lazily. Lazy, one can imagine what kind of state the Jin army guarding the city is in.

Since the Jin army did not have any defenses, Lu Kang decided to use a sneak attack on Yiyang. The [-] troops crossed the Dabie Mountains without anyone noticing. Go to Yiyang city gate.

The gates of Yiyang's city were opened, and the soldiers guarding the city saw their own flags, and asked them where they came from without any suspicion of fraud.

At this moment, Wu General Zuo Yi was leading the team, and he loudly reprimanded the guards: "A certain Sima Yang Qing, who is under the command of the Governor of Shidu, came to garrison Yiyang under the order of the Governor of Shidu. How dare you be so lazy when you are on duty? Laziness, wouldn’t it be a waste of opportunity, come here, tie up these guys for me, and give each of them twenty army sticks, as a warning to everyone else!”

Zuo Yi was domineering and full of aura. The Jin army at the gate of the city was stunned by him. At this time, no one dared to come forward to check Zuo Yi's identity. Yi begged for mercy, and no one dared to doubt the identity of Zuo Yi's Sima under Yangzhou Governor Shi Bao's account, so Zuo Yi was able to easily enter Yiyang City.

As soon as Zuo Yi led his team into the city, Lu Kang sent Wu Yan and Cai Gong to lead the troops to kill them. When the Jin army guarding the city saw the Wu army attacking, their faces were ashen, and they hurriedly closed the city gate, trying to keep the Wu army out of the city. .

But at this time, Zuo Yi led his troops to make a sudden move, cut the gate and opened the city gate to welcome Wu Jun into the city, so Wu Jun easily took control of Yiyang City, many officials who just woke up from their nap like Xia Yi Without exception, they became prisoners of the Wu army.

All the generals praised Lu Kang's profound strategy, and he took down Yiyang without bloodshed.Lu Kang just smiled slightly. The Jin people were lax in Yiyang, and he had already restrained the Jin army in Shouchun and Xiangyang with his tricks, so taking Yiyang was completely within Lu Kang's expectation.

However, the idleness of the prefect Xia Yi and the defenders made Lu Kang's actions smoother. Most of the [-] defenders became prisoners of the Wu army before they had time to resist.

"The next step is to see how Sima Yan will deal with it!" Lu Kang stood on the top of Yiyang's city wall, looking to the north, and said secretly in his heart.

Bleak ┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

The news of Yiyang's fall soon spread to Luoyang. At this moment, Sima Yan focused all his attention on the western front. The unfavorable battle on the western front made him deeply anxious.

At this time, the news of Yiyang's fall came from the southern line, which made Sima Yan even more dumbfounded.

Earlier, news came from both sides of Shouchun and Xiangyang that Wu Jun was trying to attack, but Sima Yan didn't care about it. Huainan battles were fought many times, and there was constant friction in Jingzhou, so the Wu people wanted to take advantage of it. Sima Yan had already seen through his tricks. Since Sima Yan had been deploying an army of [-] to [-] troops on the southern front, Sima Yan was not too worried about the Wu people's attack on the southern front. Liang will handle it.

Now all of Sima Yan's energy is devoted to the battle against Guanzhong on the western front. This battle is very important to Sima Yan whether Jin can conquer Guanzhong and completely eliminate the threat from the northwest.

But when the war on the western front was at a stalemate, Lu Kang from Soochow stabbed Sima Yan severely in the back. Yi Yang's fall caught Sima Yan completely by surprise.

Didn't the Wu people intend to attack Shouchun and Xiangyang? I dare say this is Lu Kang's suspicious strategy. Lu Kang's real target is Yiyang County, which no one expected.

Yiyang County is in the south of the Huai River, separated from Wu by high mountains. Because of the high mountains and dangerous land in front of it, Jin people don't pay much attention to Yiyang's defense. Everyone knows that Wu's navy is powerful. They fight. They are all carried out around the water army, so most of the Wu army's offense and defense are inseparable from the big rivers and rivers. Who knows when they learned the tricks of the Shu people, crossed the mountains and completed the sneak attack on Yiyang.

You must know that it is not an easy task to cross the Dabie Mountains for hundreds of miles. Even the Shu Army, which is good at mountain warfare, must consider many issues including logistics and supplies. The news from Yiyang, Lu The anti-government team led a hundred thousand troops through the Dabie Mountains. How could a hundred thousand troops be able to do so without knowing anyone? This is undoubtedly an unbelievable thing.
