Chapter 282 Plan to Destroy Wu
After discussion, everyone agreed that Jiangdong could be conquered in two stages.The first stage was to mobilize the main force of the Jingzhou navy, first clear the remaining navy in the east of the Yangtze River, completely control the Yangtze River waterway, and then capture Wancheng and Moling, control the two counties of Lujiang and Danyang, and prevent Cao Cao from intervening in the war in the east of the river.

The second stage is to attack Wu County and Kuaiji County, Sun Quan's old nest. This stage mainly relies on infantry to fight the siege battle.

Pang Tong said: "My lord, if we can keep Cao Cao in the north, it is expected that the first stage will be relatively smooth. After all, most of the main force of the Jiangdong Army's water army has been lost, and the warships have been completely lost. They are definitely not our opponents. Wancheng is near the river. In the north, Sun Quan cannot send reinforcements to support, and Moling is also close to the river, so our army can advance by land and water. If Sun Quan dares to send reinforcements, we will eat his reinforcements."

Everyone looked at the map, spoke and discussed, and felt that what Pang Tong said was good.Moling is the current Jiangning District of Nanjing City. The terrain to the south is flat and open, which is suitable for infantry and cavalry operations. If Sun Quan dares to send reinforcements, he can just encircle the point for reinforcements.

If Sun Quan did not dare to send reinforcements, Moling would fall sooner or later under the attack of Jingzhou's 10,000+ army.

Pang Tong continued: "But the second stage may take some time. After all, Wu County is the hometown of the Sun family. The Sun family has been operating here for three generations and is deeply rooted. If Sun Quan resists desperately, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack in a short time. "

Sun Quan's hometown is Fuchun, Wujun. Sun Ce quickly occupied Wujun after raising troops, and made Zhu Zhi the prefect of Wujun.After pacifying Jiangdong, Wu County was used as the base camp, and the whole family lived here.After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's foundation, stationed in Wujun, and served as the prefect of Kuaiji.

Wujun is Sun Quan's stronghold, and he will definitely resist desperately. Most of the people in Wujun are Sun Quan's loyal fans, and they will try their best to help Sun Quan defend the city. Zhang Wu really can't guarantee how long it will take to take down the city. Wu County is the county seat of Wu County.Maybe a year or a half, maybe three to five years.

But Cao Cao would not give Zhang Wu such a long time. Seeing that Jiangdong was about to perish, Cao Cao would definitely send troops from Hefei to attack Lujiang and Danyang, or attack Fancheng with all his strength.

If Zhang Wu intends to attack Jiangdong, he must mobilize the main force. Although Sun Quan's power is not as good as before, but the foundation is still there, and there are many advisors and generals under his command.

Especially Zhou Yu is not dead yet, as long as Zhou Yu is still alive, Zhang Wu has to be extremely careful.

Zhang Wu felt that before attacking Jiangdong, it was best to kill Zhou Yu first, otherwise he didn't know what else would happen.

If the attack on Jiangdong is compared to a dungeon, the difficulty without Zhou Yu is relatively difficult, but the difficulty with Zhou Yu becomes very difficult.

According to the intelligence sent back by the spies, Zhou Yu seems to have not improved, because Zhou Yu has never been seen in the army, and Sun Quan asked Cheng Pu to lead the army to station in Lujiang as the deputy governor.It is estimated that Zhou Yu was seriously injured by Wei Yan's arrow, and the arrow should have penetrated deeper into the body.

Zhou Yu has been injured for such a long time, Sun Quan must have sought out famous doctors to treat him, but he has not improved so far. It seems that the internal organs are infected. In this era, there are not many good anti-inflammatory drugs, especially for internal organs.And Hua Tuo, who is good at treating this kind of injury, is under his own hands. It seems that Zhou Yu is really doomed.

But I don't know how long Zhou Yu can delay. If he drags on for three to five years like this, it will be quite a delay!

After thinking for a while, General Zhang called Xiang Lang and asked him to arrange for someone to go to Jiangdong to spread the news that Jiang Qin was still alive.

After Jiang Qin was shot into the river by Zhang Wu, he was picked up by Jingzhou soldiers, and was later imprisoned by Zhang Wu.

Pan Zhang witnessed Jiang Qin falling into the water with his own eyes. He thought that Jiang Qin was beheaded by Zhang Wu, so Sun Quan and others always believed that Jiang Qin had died in battle.

And Zhang Wu also kept Jiang Qin secretly, and did not intend to ask Sun Quan to redeem him, because Sun Quan has no treasures in his hands now, and Zhang Wu is not short of money, but a general in short supply.

Jiang Qin is one of the most famous generals in Jiangdong. He followed Sun Ce together with Zhou Tai very early, and made a lot of contributions in the process of Sun Ce's pacification of Jiangdong.This person is not only brave in battle, but also selfless. He was born as a water thief and is very good at water warfare.

Zhang Wu already had quite a few generals under his command, including five super generals alone, but there were only two professional naval generals, Gan Ning and Ding Feng, at most including Wenpin.In the future, whether it is resisting Cao Cao or taking Yizhou to the west, the navy will be used, so Zhang Wu also has plans to recruit Jiang Qin.

But Zhang Wu also knew that Jiang Qin would not surrender easily. Although he was born as a water thief, some people were very loyal despite their bad background.Moreover, Jiang Qin followed Sun Ce very early and was highly valued and trusted by Sun Ce. Even after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he still trusted Jiang Qin very much.

Therefore, Zhang Wu did not rush to recruit Jiang Qin, but kept him in secret. It did not cost much food anyway. Zhang Wu planned to wait until Jiangdong was destroyed before trying to see if he could recruit Jiang Qin.

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard that Jiang Qin was still alive, and immediately arranged for Kan Ze to go to Xiangyang to ask Zhang Wu to redeem Jiang Qin.Anyway, this has been done before, so it should be no problem this time. At most, it will cost more money.

When Kan Ze heard that this was the job again, he was very depressed. He didn't want to do this kind of thing anymore, but he couldn't help it. Sun Quan thought he was familiar with it.

Sun Quan lost his generals one after another in the past two years, and he was very sad.The veteran general Huang Gai died in the Battle of Hefei, and Zhu Zhi, who was also a veteran and important minister, died in the Battle of Chibi.Zhu Zhi was an old man who followed Sun Jian to fight in the north and south a long time ago. He also followed Sun Jian in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and later assisted Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce was fighting in the front, it was Zhu Zhi who sent people to bring Sun Ce's mother, Sun Quan and other younger brothers to take care of him. Therefore, Zhu Zhi was also regarded as a veteran and important minister. .

Among the senior officials, Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi died in battle, Han Dang was ashamed and secluded because he was captured twice, and Cheng Pu, the oldest one, was still working for the Sun family.

When Zhou Yu was seriously injured, Sun Quan was often worried about how to resist the invasion of the Jingzhou army. If he could redeem Jiang Qin, he would be able to add strength to himself.

But after Kan Ze came to Xiangyang and asked to see Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu denied it outright. No, he had never seen Jiang Qin. He might have been washed away in the water. Why don't we go to the sea to find him?
Kan Ze is speechless, we are all old friends, and it's not the first time I've done this kind of job, so don't make jokes, okay?

"General Zhang, don't tease me. Jiang Gongyi is an important minister in Jiangdong. My lord has ordered him to be brought back no matter what. General Zhang just ask for a price!" Kan Ze said. He has done this kind of thing many times and has experience. Alright, let's start asking for prices.
