The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 294 Start the plan to destroy Wu
Cao Cao sent Zhang Yun as the vanguard with 20 cavalry to go first. Cao Cao led generals such as Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Cao Hong, and Zhang Liao, and counselors such as Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi, and led [-] troops to support Chang'an.

Cao Jun's movements were quickly reported to Zhang Wu by spies. This situation was exactly what Zhang Wu hoped to create after he personally led troops to attack Wuguan after preparing for a long time.

Now that Cao Cao was restrained by Zhang Wu and rushed to Hanzhong, he would not be able to return for a while, and Gan Ning of Chaisang immediately launched the plan to destroy Wu.

In Chaisang City, Gan Ning called the generals as the governor of the extermination of Wu and arranged for the dispatch of troops.

Gan Ning is Zhang Wu's sworn brother, Zhang Wu's most trusted general, and the No. 1 Jingzhou water battle. He was in charge of the war with Jiangdong for a long time, so let him temporarily restrain the generals and be responsible for implementing the plan to destroy Wu. Everyone Very convinced.

Although Gan Ning was the nominal commander, he had to follow the advice of Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang when it came to the specific implementation of plans such as dispatching generals, arranging tasks, and when to launch an attack.

This time, "Crouching Dragon" and "Fengchu" are two swords, and they are jointly responsible for planning and strategizing to conquer Jiangdong. This is not only the importance Zhang Wu attaches to this matter, but also Zhang Wu's trust in the two of them.

Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang were also very excited. They were able to assist Gan Ning in taking charge of such a big matter as attacking Jiangdong. If they succeeded, what a great contribution this would be!

At the same time, it is also an excellent opportunity to prove his ability. As long as this matter is successful, Zhuge Liang will become famous all at once.

After obtaining Gan Ning's consent, Zhuge Liang began to assign tasks at the high-level meeting of the plan to destroy Wu.

"General Gan, General Ding, General Wen, and General Feng led the main force of the [-] navy to fight the Lujiang navy. After the Jiangdong navy was wiped out as soon as possible, [-] sailors were left to block the river, and the rest went ashore to besiege Lujiang City."

Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Wenpin, and Feng Xi took orders one after another.

"General Su led [-] sailors, took a small boat to Nanchang and joined General Liu, and then attacked Kuaiji County from behind."

Su Fei took the lead. He has assisted Gan Ning in guarding Jiangxia for a long time, and now he finally has the chance to fight.

There is a relatively gentle passage between the Huangshan Mountains and the Wuyi Mountains. Although it is relatively far away, there are rivers converging, and the waterway can reach Qiantang at the intersection of Kuaiji County and Wu County, which is now Hangzhou.

Depart from Nanchang, the prefecture of Yuzhang County, enter Poyang Lake and walk Yushui, Xinjiang and Jianshui to reach Qiantang.Once Liu Pan led his army to attack and occupy Qiantang, he would be able to cut off the connection between Wujun and Kuaiji County, leaving Wujun completely isolated and helpless.Even if Qiantang cannot be captured, the defenders in Kuaiji County can be restrained so that they cannot support Wu County.

"General Guan, General Zhang, and General Zhao led [-] infantry in boats to follow the main force of the water army. When the water army of our army and the Jiangdong water army fought, they were the first to land and besiege Lujiang City."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also took orders one after another, and Guan Yu temporarily served as the infantry commander.

Pang Tong followed Guan Yu and other generals to besiege Lujiang. Zhuge Liang led Fu Shu and Kou Feng to lead the remaining [-] naval troops to temporarily guard Chaisang. At the same time, they served as mobile troops to wait for opportunities to support or cooperate with other troops in operations.

In fact, there is no clever strategy in this battle. It is to rely on its own strength to advance both land and water to force the Jiangdong Army to fight a decisive battle.Because Zhang Wu had waited nearly two years for this opportunity to fight, so I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity to drag Cao Cao to the north and have no time to look south.

Therefore, it is necessary to seize the time to attack Jiangdong, so that Cao Cao will not intervene in the war in the south after he wakes up.

Now Jiangdong has deployed the main force in the Lujiang area to resist Jingzhou, with about [-] troops.Cheng Pu and Lu Su led a group of generals and led [-] troops to garrison Lujiang, while Lu Meng and Xu Sheng led [-] troops to garrison at Hulin on the other side of the river, echoing Lujiang.

Now the entire Jingzhou army is basically mobilized to fight a decisive battle with you. If you want to fight, we will fight to the death on the water. If you dare not fight, your soldiers can hide in Lujiang City. Where can the boat be hidden?

At that time, burn all your warships, and your navy will be useless, and I will be able to go down the river and directly attack Moling, completely controlling the waterways of the river.

Therefore, there are two options before Cheng Pu, either to dispatch the navy to fight the Jingzhou navy, or to completely give up the right to control the water and defend Lujiang City with all its strength.

Cheng Pu chose the first one. As the veteran of the three dynasties who followed Sun Jian to conquer the Yellow Turban, Dong Zhuo, and Jingzhou, and later assisted Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, and now assists Sun Quan to resist Jingzhou as the governor of Jiangdong, Cheng Pu neither Lack of courage, nor lack of insight.

Cheng Pu knew that if he completely gave up the right to control water, he would not be able to defend the city for long, because the First Jiangdong Army was neither good at attacking nor defending the city, and was best at water warfare; the second was, If Lujiang is trapped, there will be no reinforcements, because Lujiang City is on the north bank of the river.

If there is a water battle with the Jingzhou army, it can not only make use of the strengths of the Jiangdong army, but also retreat to Moling when the battle is unfavorable, and wait for the lord to send reinforcements from Wujun.

Cheng Pu, as a veteran, although not lacking in insight and courage, is just inferior to Zhou Yu in ability.With Zhou Yu's ability, he was still unable to defeat the chained ships of the Jingzhou Navy. Now Cheng Pu and Lu Su's combination, how could it be the opponent of Gan Ning, Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang.

Just when Zhang Wu occupied Wuguan to firmly contain Xia Houyuan, and Ma Chao was raging in Liangzhou and Longxi, Zhang Yun finally rushed to Chang'an with [-] cavalry.

Now Xia Houyuan finally calmed down a little. With Zhang Yun and the [-] cavalry, at least Chang'an City was safe.But Liangzhou was pressing hard, and Jiang Xu and Yang Fu had a hard time supporting them, so Xia Houyuan asked Zhang He to lead [-] cavalry to support Yang Fu first.

In Wuguan, Huang Zhong left [-] soldiers to guard Shangyong, responsible for transporting grain and grass, and personally led [-] infantry to Wuguan to support Zhang Wu.

Xia Houyuan saw that reinforcements were coming from the opposite side, and it was the general Huang Zhong who came. He felt that the opponent was about to attack, so he quickly transferred half of the defenders in Chang'an City to order the soldiers to strengthen the city defense.

Although Shangluo is a bit bigger than Danfeng, because it has not experienced war for a long time, the facilities for defending the city are not very complete.

After Zhang Wu waited for reinforcements, he really began to prepare to attack the city.He personally led the soldiers to camp under the city, and then ordered the soldiers to cut down trees everywhere, build catapults and other siege equipment, and make various preparations for the siege.

Xia Houyuan was so frightened that he repeatedly sent people to urge Cao Cao to come to help quickly.

But for several days in a row, the Jingzhou army has been building equipment, and then they used the built catapults to throw stones into the city, but they did not attack the city decently.

There were not many catapults, and the damage caused to the city was almost negligible.

Xia Houyuan couldn't figure it out, why don't you rush to attack the city before my reinforcements arrive, what are you waiting for?Is it I, Xia Houyuan, who is not worthy of your attack?

When Cao Cao's army finally arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Wu led his army to retreat, even Danfeng gave up, and the whole army retreated to Wuguan.
