The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 533 Sweeping Like a Rolling Mat ([-])
"What? You mean Zihe (Lu Mu) didn't defend even a day? Xiangyang is already lost?"

"How dare you lie to the general. General, the Han army has nearly 10 people, and the four gates are attacking at the same time. The city of Xiangyang is too large, and our army is insufficient, so it was blown down by him."

"Hey! What did Zihe do? Can't you mobilize the people in Xiangyang City to defend the city?"

As soon as Lu Mu said this, he was released by Du Yu, and the two private soldiers of the Lu family who specially delivered Lu Mu's head didn't know how to say it.

If it is said that Ji Han's southern expedition, Jiangdong's aristocratic family did not want to resist because of the great disparity in strength between the two sides, and on the other hand, it seemed a bit awkward because Ji Han's attitude towards the aristocratic family was too strict and wanted to resist.So the people of Soochow don't want to resist at all.

The life of the people in Soochow, although because of Sun Hao's hard work, is better than when Sun Xiu was here.But compared with Ji Han who was in power under Guan Yi, it is still far inferior.In recent years, although there have been no major wars between Han and Wu, the intelligence agencies of both sides are still active very frequently.

He Dian School was busy inquiring about Ji Han's deployment of troops, and the reactions of the aristocratic families were different after checking the household tax.The main job of Si Wencao is to carry out various propagandas for the common people of Soochow—the common people of our big man, the life is getting better every day.

As for people, suffering is not enough.Even in modern society, we still often sigh: Why do other people’s units have such good benefits?Why is someone else's university so beautiful?Why are other people's children so sensible... This is the case with the development of information in modern society, let alone this almost closed era.

As for rumors, the more they spread, the more mysterious they become.In short, Si Wencao has instigated it for several years, and the people of Soochow Wu are at least the part bordering Ji Han, and they have long been yearning for Ji Han.

Now that Ji Han is calling, it would be nice if we didn't spontaneously organize to open the city.You still expect us to defend the city?Well, if you force us to ascend the city with the sword, we dare not fail to do so.But we, who are scattered everywhere on weekdays, were organized by you in the form of an army, hehe, no way, we really want to do something.

Therefore, Lu Mu did not dare to arm the people.

"My Patriarch understood this when he was only 25 years old. Why can't you understand it even when you are in your 40s?"

Of course, I dare not say this.So when Lu Mu asked about this, the two private soldiers of the Lu family had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing the two private soldiers of the Lu family remain silent, Lu Mu also felt bored: "Then, does Du Yuankai have anything to say to the general?"

"Yes, General. General Zhennan of the Han State said that this time the Great Han conquered Wu, only for... er, only His Majesty. Other Eastern Wu soldiers, as long as they can surrender. Regardless of what they or their ancestors have done to the Great Han before. Anything can be treated well.”

"There is no need to say such things... My Lu family has been greatly favored by the four emperors of Wu. How can I surrender like this?"

"Uh... General Zhennan of the Han Dynasty also said that Xiangyang has been lost. If the general doesn't want to starve to death in a small city like Fancheng, he can quickly withdraw while our navy can still control the Han River. He only wants Xiangfan The second city ensures that the food roads are unblocked. If the general can withdraw, he will definitely not chase after him. If the general insists on defending the city, he will just spend a few more months. However, if the city is opened at that time, the city will be full I will definitely not leave chickens and dogs behind. In the future, I will definitely kill the Lu family one by one..."

"Du Yu is so daring!" After yelling sternly, Lu Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not because I was greedy for life and afraid of death. It's because my plan with Zihe went wrong. At the beginning we thought that Fancheng would not go down. , the Han army will not cross the river. Therefore, there are too many soldiers and little food in Fancheng. Now that Xiangyang is lost, the food in Fancheng will not last long... You two may have to go back next time..."

"Please rest assured, General Lu. After the two of us came this time, we were going to send the head of the Patriarch back so that the Patriarch's body can be buried intact. If there is anything we need to bring to General Zhennan of the Han Kingdom, please tell the General ..."

……

"General, should we let Wu Gou go like this? That's more than 3 people."

"Hehe, what, Zibing (Huo Biao) means to let the general break his promise and attack this Wu army midway?"

"Isn't it? On the battlefield, everything is used to the extreme. If the more than 3 Wu dogs retreat to Xiling or Jiangling, our army will have to fight hard."

"Hehehe, Zibing, how much combat power will the soldiers who run away from the battle have in the future? Even if they meet in the future, how can they take our army? It is estimated that they will disperse in a rush and help us get other Wu troops to fight too. Don’t you have the heart to fight? Besides, if I don’t keep my word here, then our army’s advance will be met with stubborn resistance from the Wu army. It’s not worth the candle to do so.”

……

On the other side, Badong County, Yizhou, Yongan City.

By November, the river here was completely blocked by the banners that covered the sky and the countless warships under the banners. The 15 troops have all assembled.

"Hahaha~~Everyone, I didn't expect Wu Gou to be so unbeatable. Originally, Da Sima planned that my Central Route Army would stay in Xiangfan for two or three months. I didn't expect that in just a day or two, Zhennan would be gone. We have won such an important place. Needless to say, our army should sail east immediately at this time! Do you have any questions?"

"Ex-general, please rest assured that all the troops of our army have gathered, and the battleships are ready. You can set off at any time!"

"Good! Then send an order, prepare for one day today, and the whole army will go east tomorrow!"

"Here!"

On November 277, 3000 AD, former generals Zhang Zun of Ji Han and General Wang Jun of Hengjiang led more than 15 warships and [-] troops from Yong'an, and poured directly into the Three Gorges!
Among the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Qutang Gorge is the shortest, but the most majestic and steep.Wu Gorge is deep and beautiful.Xiling Gorge is the longest and the waterway is extremely tortuous.There are many strange rocks in the river, and there are many beaches and fast water, so sailing in Xiling Gorge is the most thrilling.In the Xiling Gorge of later generations, there is a bone tower, which is famous for the bones of the boatmen who died in the Xiling Gorge.

Among the Three Gorges, Qutang Gorge is usually controlled by Ji Han.The remaining two paragraphs are under the control of the Soochow Navy.But this is just the usual situation.Now, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, the Ji Han water army that crosses the river is overwhelming. Sheng Ji, the prefect of Jianping County in Eastern Wu, has no intention of resisting at all, and retreats directly when he sees the banner of the Han army.

He did not travel by water, but by land.

If you don't go to the Yangtze River, which is in good shape, you have to go over the mountains and mountains.There is of course a reason for this.

Since Zhang Zheng replaced Lu Kang as governor of Jingzhou, in view of the fall of Jin, Han and Wu will fight sooner or later.Also solid did a lot of work.

For example, many hidden piles were buried in the waterway of Xiling Gorge: the hidden piles themselves were made of pig iron, and one end was inserted into the bottom of the river (the depth of the Yangtze River is not very large, generally less than 20 meters before the Three Gorges Dam was impounded), and the other end was far from the water surface. Less than one meter.The end that is very close to the water surface is cut extremely sharply.This arrangement basically poses no threat to ordinary small ships, but for those main warships of the Han army with heavy load and deep draft, they can easily pierce the bottom of the ship.As a result, the giant ship leaked.

In addition, Zhang Zheng also learned from Sun Gang's method of defending Yong'an, and pulled up three nine iron chains in the narrow part of the river.This blocks the channel.

Unfortunately, when these measures met Wang Jun, they seemed useless.

On November [-], Zhang Zun and Wang Jun led their troops through Qutang Gorge and Wu Gorge, and Jianping County of Eastern Wu surrendered without a fight.After the Han army entered the winding Xiling Gorge, its speed slowed down significantly.

"Shizhi, Si Wencao inquired about this front. Wu Gou has arranged a channel with hidden piles on the river, right?"

"Of course."

"How to break the scholar's desire for governance?"

"This matter is easy. The general can set up some large rafts, press some stones on top of them to increase the draft, and then operate them by water-savvy soldiers. After the raft is pierced by the iron cone, it will naturally push the iron cone take away."

"Can a raft pull out an iron cone?"

"Hehehe, former general. The water flow in Xiling Gorge is very fast, and the soil layer at the bottom of the river is also very soft. It is said that this iron cone has been standing in the water for a year, and it is already crumbling. At this time, as long as A little bit of a powerful thing can pull it out by the roots. As for our army, it doesn’t matter whether the iron cone that was pulled out sank to the bottom of the river or went downstream with the raft.”

"Good, what about the Hengjiang iron chain ahead?"

"This matter is also easy. You can attack it with a fireboat. If it is impossible, our army is so strong, just stop the ship and dock, and send troops to attack the chain link on the shore."

"Hahaha, my elder brother really knows people and is good at responsibility. With Shizhi around, Wu Gou is really like a chicken and a dog!"
