The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Tai hadn't set off for a long time, Zhou Yu's face changed drastically when he gave the order, and he hurriedly sent Ling Tong to meet Zhou Tai. If Zhou Tai entangled Xu Huang, then Ling Tong would join the battle. If Zhou Tai was lying in ambush, he would rescue Zhou Tai. chase.

Not long after Ling Tong set off, Zhou Yu was still worried, and immediately led the troops to come, just in time to meet Zhou Tai and Ling Tong who were retreating.

Just as Zhou Yu expected, Zhou Tai was indeed ambushed, but fortunately Ling Tong rescued him in time.

"Governor, the general will go after the enemy again, and Xu Huang must be left behind." Zhou Tai was unwilling to let Xu Huang escape, Zhou Yu's plan would fail, and it would be even more difficult to force Liu Bei to make peace.

"Chasing rashly, I'm afraid I'll fall into the trap." Zhou Yu thought for a while, rejected Zhou Tai's request, and then said helplessly: "Guo Jia's talent is not inferior to me. My plan is to be broken by him and forcefully pursue him, which will mess up my position. , that’s all.”

Zhou Yu sighed for a while and then sent an order: "Ling commanded [-] soldiers as the vanguard, and the army marched out, and the soldiers entered Xiapi!"

"Order Ding Feng to attack Xiacai and Lingbi, and then quickly come to Xiapi to join us."

Although Xu Huang was not left behind, Xu Huang's block was broken. After half a year of stalemate with Xu Huang, Jiangdong's army was finally able to invade Xuzhou.

Chapter 6 Twelve: Cui Zhouping's Advice

When the news came that Zhou Yu defeated Xu Huang, invaded Xuzhou, and seized several cities, Sun Quan was overjoyed and ordered to reward the three armies. At the same time, he shared the good news with his ally Cao Cao, wanting Cao Cao to see his strength in Jiangdong.

At the same time, an urgent report was sent to Jianye, and Liu Bei's navy had already disembarked from Qiantang to attack Jianye.

"Order Lu Meng to lead the water army to meet the enemy and encircle and wipe out Gan Ning!"

Everything was within Sun Quan's expectations, and everything was as planned. Gan Ning really led Liu Bei's [-] navy to land and attack Jianye.

Sun Quan confidently ordered Lu Meng to lead 20 Jiangdong's most elite navy to meet the enemy, intending to encircle and wipe out Gan Ning with superior forces and completely wipe out Liu Bei's navy on land.

"Your Majesty." After learning of Sun Quan's order, the veteran Cheng Pu hastily came to see Sun Quan: "The army is all out, Jianye is empty, and some soldiers and horses should be left behind, just in case."

Originally, Jianye had 30 troops guarding it, but only a month ago, 20 troops were dispatched to reinforce Zhou Yu, and now the most elite [-] sailors were dispatched to deal with Gan Ning. The son has no soldiers to guard.

Hearing Cheng Pu's words, Sun Quan's expression changed, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked, "Old General, is there any enemy that can threaten Jianye?"

"There are only [-] Ganning Navy." Cheng Pu thought for a while, now the entire Central Plains area is full of wars, and the war is raging everywhere, but Liu Bei's army is mainly attacking Cao Cao, even Liu Bei sent to deal with Xu Huang's army in Jiangdong Now he was also forced to retreat by the governor Zhou Yu, and he could not threaten Jiangdong at all.

And the Han Navy, which caused Jiangdong the most headache, is now on the land of Jiangdong. According to the plan, the 20 navy can definitely encircle and wipe out the [-] soldiers brought by Gan Ning. Cheng Pu is very confident about this. It is the most elite army in Jiangdong.

"That being the case." Sun Quan finally made up his mind and said firmly, "Let the army come together to annihilate Gan Ning as soon as possible."

"As for the safety of Jianye." Sun Quan said confidently, "There are still [-] Sun family soldiers in the city, and the navy can return to aid Jianye at any time, no problem."

Sun Quan wanted to use the shortest possible time to annihilate the Ganning soldiers and horses coming from the sea, and then mobilize the most elite naval forces in Jiangdong to make a full-scale northern expedition, taking this opportunity to capture Xuzhou, and even those Qingzhou, laying a solid foundation for Jiangdong to rule the world.

Now Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two overlords, have no time to take care of Jiangdong. This is Jiangdong's best opportunity. As for Cao Cao's promise to give Jiangdong Jingzhou and Yuzhou, Sun Quan doesn't believe it at all. This is just Cao Cao's expedient measure.

But Sun Quan didn't care, as long as Jiangdong was strong enough, it would not be difficult to win these two places. You must know that all of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are now fighting with most of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and it is hard to say how much strength is left in the end.

And now the only thing that can hold back Sun Quan's pace is Liu Bei's [-] navy. As long as this [-] navy is eliminated, Jiangdong's most elite navy will escape and gain greater benefits for Jiangdong.

"The veteran thought that we should leave [-] to [-] troops to guard Jianye." Cheng Pu, who knew the rapid changes in the war, was very cautious, and wanted to worry about accidents.

"I've made up my mind." It was rare for Sun Quan to chat with the white-haired Cheng Pu. In Sun Quan's view, Cheng Pu was too old to be reused.

Not long after, Lu Meng, who was guarding the surrounding areas of Jianye, received an order from Sun Quan to lead an elite navy of 20 to Ganning.

Five days later, Lü Meng led an army to stop Gan Ning at Shenting Ridge. The two armies quickly started fighting. Gan Ning saw that the Jiangdong Shui Army was strong, so he had to retire and fight. He didn't want Lv Meng to give him a chance, and the army followed closely. Gan Ning retreated again and again, and the battle line slowly moved towards the sea.

"General, if this goes on like this, it's not good for us. I have a plan to get out of this predicament." Lv Meng relied on his superior force and spared no expense to fight Gan Ning. Not to mention the capture of Jianye, it won't be long before his soldiers and horses will be driven back to the sea by Lu Meng. At this time, Cui Jun, who was with the army, offered advice.

"The plan will be settled? Zhou Ping will come quickly." Gan Ning is excellent in martial arts and proficient in water warfare, but he is a little lacking in strategy, which is not as good as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He and others.

"General, please take a look." Cui Jun pointed directly at the map and said, "This is where we are now, Fengqiao, and this is Taihu Lake. Lu Meng's soldiers and horses blockade the line of Shentingling, and it is difficult for us to cross."

"I think Lv Meng used his troops well, made good use of his advantages, and dispatched them well, and deceived us that our troops are insufficient." Cui Jun pointed out the current situation, and then said: "At this time, if the general divides his troops and retreats, and detours to the west of Taihu Lake, You can go straight to Jianye."

"This is the land of Jiangdong, and the way to divide troops can be hidden from Jiangdong's soldiers." This is Sun Quan's territory, the home field of Jiangdong's soldiers, and the eyes of Jiangdong's soldiers are everywhere.

Cui Jun smiled confidently: "I should know this, but the general divides his troops, separated by Taihu Lake, and threatens Jianye. Lu Meng learned that he has to divide his troops to stop him. Taking advantage of Lü Meng's situation, although Lü Meng has the upper hand, he dared not save Jianye, so he had to take the initiative to retreat, and then divided up the troops to stop the soldiers who attacked Jianye, so that the general can advance and retreat freely."

"Excellent!" Gan Ning was overjoyed, immediately divided up [-] troops, retreated quietly, and then detoured to the other side of Taihu Lake to attack Jianye.

Not long after Gan Ning divided his troops, Lv Bu received the news that Jiangdong scouts are now out, and Jiangdong soldiers are everywhere. Gan Ning divides his troops, and there is no way to hide them. The reason that can threaten Jianye.

Lü Meng didn't dare to be negligent, so he wanted to divide his troops to stop him, but before Lv Meng could mobilize his troops, Gan Ning, who had been retreating all the time, took the initiative to attack Lv Meng with all his strength, showing a desperate posture.

Lü Meng had no choice but to lead the army to fight Gan Ning in blood. He wanted to concentrate his troops and kill Gan Ning first, but Lü Meng's army was all pressed up, but Gan Ning retreated instead of fighting Lv Meng to the death.

Going back and forth a few times, Lu Meng saw that Gan Ning was going to drag him here and send his troops to attack Jianye. You must know that Jianye is very empty now, and Sun Quan is still in Jianye. If Jianye fails, Lu Meng will become Jiangdong's sinner.

Not long after, Sun Quan sent an order to Lu Meng to never allow Gan Ning's troops to approach Jianye.

Gan Ning quickly defeated the Jiangdong soldiers and horses who stayed behind to stop him, but he did not continue to pursue him, and his goal was achieved. During this period of time, the naval losses he brought were not small and had to be repaired. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers and horses that attacked Jianye to withdraw Come, lest Lu Meng make dumplings.

Chapter 6 Thirteen

Gan Ning retreated to Jiaxing for repairs, and Lu Meng arrived later. In order to prevent Gan Ning from playing tricks on dividing his troops, Lu Meng directly divided the army into four divisions and blocked all the roads from Gan Ning to Jianye. Soldiers and horses were trapped in Jiaxing City.

Although Gan Ning had fewer troops than Lü Meng, they defended the city. For a while, Lv Meng was unable to break through Jiaxing City, and the battle entered a stalemate. Sun Quan, who was in Jianye, was very dissatisfied with this. For a long time, it is not good for Jiangdong.

But Lu Meng was also helpless, and repeatedly attacked Jiaxing, but was repelled by Gan Ning. After all, Gan Ning had a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands.

But soon, Lu Meng thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy. Gan Ning came from the sea and did not bring much food and grass, and Jiaxing was still some distance away from the sea. , Gan Ning's food and grass are exhausted, and defeat is a matter of time.

"There is not much food in Jiaxing City, and if you want to come to the city, Sun Quan transfers away the food." Cui Jun was ordered to collect food and grass, but after he walked around the city, he found that the food and grass in Jiaxing City had already been transported away by Sun Quan, and there was not much food at all. .

"Damn it!" Gan Ning's face turned livid after hearing this, and they would face the problem of food shortage.

"General." Cui Jun suggested: "This place is not far from Qiantang, why not retreat to Qiantang, backed by the sea, the army will have no worries about food and grass."

As long as it is connected to the navy, with the ability of the Han navy, there is no problem in ensuring the food for 10 people. After all, the sea is the territory of the Han navy and it is unimpeded.

"Stay here."

Gan Ning decisively rejected Cui Jun's proposal, which made Cui Jun very puzzled. It would be too bad for them to stay here, why did Gan Ning make such a decision.

Gan Ning also had troubles, and he didn't want to stand against Lv Meng here, but if he retreated to Qiantang with the sea as his backing, Lü Meng would probably give up encircling and annihilating them when he saw that he could not wipe them out, so he could use some troops for other purposes.

"Collect food from the whole city and distribute it uniformly."

Soon, the Han Navy began to collect food from the whole city, and the special envoys were at the time, but they couldn't control so much. Although it would not cause lives, it was inevitable that the people would complain.

Fortunately, this is Sun Quan's territory. According to the previous law, these are rioters and enemies of the big man. From this point of view, it makes sense, but it is a bit at odds with Liu Bei's ideas.

"Strictly monitor the four gates of Jiaxing. If soldiers and horses leave the city, report them quickly."

Seeing that Gan Ning did not continue to retreat, Lu Meng was overjoyed immediately. He sent people to monitor Gan Ning and at the same time ambushed troops between Jiaxing and Qiantang.

After Sun Quan learned of the situation, he had no choice but to urge Lu Meng to make a quick decision. He had no soldiers or horses around him.
