Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 684
Brazil County, Jiangzhou.

After worshiping Lao Liu, as soon as the appeal was issued, the war machine of the great Han was also activated, and Liu Chan rushed to Jiangzhou. At the same time, soldiers from Bashu's native place also gathered to Jiangzhou.

In this battle, Liu Chan did not want to fight in person and focused on rectifying the internal affairs. However, considering that Zhuge Liang was seriously ill and could not take command, he had no choice but to take command temporarily, coordinating the cooperation of multiple armies, and appointed Huang Quan as the general of the Bashu army.

In the cabin on the upstairs ship, Liu Chan and everyone confirmed the information of the various armies to ensure that the progress of the battle was correct.

In front of the map, Liu Chan asked, "How is the situation in Jingbei?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jingzhou army hangs the prime minister's banner. It is actually under the command of General Wei. His deputy generals Zhoutai and Deng Ai, and the supervisor Zhuge Qiao led 3 people along the Xiangyang Avenue to attack Jiangling City in the south. Zhu Ran." Liao Li replied according to the information.

Liu Chan met with Jiangzhou Tai in Jingbei, talked about military strategy and other content, and found that he was really good at using troops as Juzhu Fu said, so he was promoted to General Du Wu and took orders under Wang Ping's tent.In this battle, he commanded [-] troops from Jingbei to fight with the main force.

The larger the territory of the Han Dynasty, the more descendants he got from Cao Wei, and among these descendants, the outstanding ones were basically entrusted with important tasks, such as Lu Zhi as the governor of Jingzhou, and Du Shu as the imperial censor.

After all, the Shu Han lacked talents, and it was impossible to use the descendants. People such as Wang Ping and Jiang Wei still got it from Cao Wei.Therefore, there is no need to leave it idle, as long as he is prudent in major matters and does not test his character in times of crisis, basically there is no problem.

In the future, in order to conquer the world, including governing the world, there will be many descendants.

For example, Hu Zun performed well in pacifying the Qiang chaos last year, and Liu Chan boldly appointed him as the governor of Liangzhou, temporarily taking the post of general with a miscellaneous name, and leading the position of governor.Let's see how he behaves next, and whether he will be appointed as the real governor of Liangzhou.

As for hanging Zhuge Liang's big flag, it is not difficult to understand, mainly for the purpose of bluffing and attracting the main force of Soochow to Jingbei, so that the army coming out of Yiling from the east can quickly break through the Yidao.If he is attracted, he just doesn't know whether Wang Ping can withstand Soochow's attack.

After a pause, Liao Li continued: "As for the Nanzhong Division, according to previous information, Governor Ma led [-] elite troops from Nanzhong to march into Jiaozhou a month ago. It is not known where they arrived at the moment."

Liu Chan looked at the map hanging on the wall and said, "In this Eastern Expedition, Jiaozhou may become the key to defeating the enemy!"

When the Han Dynasty formulated the strategy of conquering Soochow, Liu Chan was afraid of Soochow's navy power, and referred to the wars of the past dynasties, regarding sending troops to Jiaozhou.First of all, it refers to the war between the Western Jin Dynasty and Soochow Wu.Secondly, I searched for the strategy of sending troops to Mongolia to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the end, Liu Chan believed that letting Ma Zhong lead the soldiers of the Southern Sergeant to send troops to Jiaozhou and bypass the Yangtze River defense line carefully arranged by Soochow might be able to win by surprise.Coupled with the second part of Wu Dang and Liao Shi who started the uprising in Jiaozhou, it should be able to give Soochow a heavy blow to the heart.

Therefore, Liu Chan appointed Ma Zhong as the governor of Jiaozhou. He held the festival and supervised the military affairs of Jiaozhou and Nanzhong. appointment of officials.

On the Nanzhong side, Ma Zhong appointed Cuan Xi as the prefect of Jiaozhi. He brought Jiao Yuan, Yong Chuan, Lou Xi, Cuan Shi and other five major surnames in Nanzhong with the soldiers of the captains, and [-] elite troops from the Central Army Zhou Hui went to Jiaozhi.

What are the five captains, which are the trilogy of the five major surnames in Nanzhong.After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he moved more than ten thousand families of Qingqiang from Nanzhong to Shu. They were five tribes, which were invincible, and they were named Feijun.At the same time, weak personnel were assigned to the local surnames Jiao, Yong, Lou, Cuan, Meng, Liang, Mao, and Li in Nanzhong as trilogy, and five captains were set up, known as "five sons".

The "Five Captains" of Nanzhong and the "Five Unprecedented Flying Army" who moved into Shuzhong have no distinction between superiors and subordinates, but in order to ensure the control of Nanzhong, the big man often transfers the five capitals of Nanzhong Wei's natives or tyrants entered Wudang's flying army.

However, the [-] soldiers are all from Nanzhong. They are used to the dense forests in the south and the environment with many miasma and mosquitoes, and they also know how to avoid creatures such as leeches and leeches.Such a team may not be able to compete in the Central Plains, but in Jiaozhou's environment, perhaps they are the most suitable.

Liao Li collected the information on the case table and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Wu have [-] miles of frontier defenses. In order to prevent our big Han and rebel Wei from invading the south, they often deploy heavy troops outside and station troops on the spot. Therefore, their local states The county is empty. If there is a rebellion, it is often necessary to send troops from Jiangfang or Jianye to go south to suppress the rebellion."

During the years when Han and Wu have been friends, it is not that the big man has done nothing.In the early years, Liu Chan appointed Zhuge Qiao and Deng Zhi to monitor the internal situation of Soochow.Like Soochow's invasion of Shuhan Jingzhou, he knew the internal situation of Shuhan's Jingzhou like the back of his hand.But now Jingzhou in Soochow is also a bright card for the Shu Han, and the deployment of his troops is quite clear to the big man.

Otherwise, why would Zhuge Qiao find Liao Shi, and Liao Shi would not have taken advantage of the rebellion of the Jiaozhou barbarians to kill Jiang Mi and capture Linhe County while the army was heading south.

Liao Li didn't dare to be too bold, so he made a conservative estimate of the situation and said: "So in this battle, I thought that it might be difficult for Ma Zhong, Wu Dang, and Liao Shi to gather together in groups to attack Jingxiang from the north, but these three tribes disturbed Jiaozhou. , It should be feasible to contain Soochow’s two—[-] armored soldiers.”

Liu Chan paced back and forth in front of the map, thinking of the eight-year war between the Western Jin Dynasty and Soochow Wu in Jiaozhou in history, until Huo Yi died of illness, the soldiers in Jiaozhou were helpless, and Soochow mobilized [-] troops to quell the case.

Now Jiaozhou has the support of Nanzhong, and the main force of Soochow has been arranged in Jingzhou. That is to say, the situation of the big Han marching into Jiaozhou will definitely not be worse than the situation in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Moreover, Ma Zhong personally led the army in this battle. With his military and political skills, he must be better than the generals of Nanzhong in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty.Therefore, he had a premonition that Ma Zhong, Wu Dang, and Liao Shi might be able to control Jiaozhou and contain part of Soochow's troops, thus putting Soochow into a situation where it was beset by enemies.

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and said: "Don't underestimate it. In Jiaozhou, our army was caught by surprise, and we have Wu Dang and Liao Shi as assistants. If our army confronts the Wu army in Yiling and Jiangling, it may be able to help the main force of our army. Send an edict to Nanzhong, make sure that the passage is unblocked, and be ready to send soldiers to help the Ma Dudu at any time."

"No!" Guan Xing replied.

"That's right!" Liu Chan called Guan Xing and asked, "An Guo, how about the Bashu army gathering? Did the Taiwei send any information?"

Before Liu Chan set off for Jiangzhou, Huang Quan had arrived in Jiangzhou one month in advance to urge the soldiers of all ministries to assemble.

Guan Xing flipped open a scarf that had just arrived, and said: "Your Majesty, Huang Taiwei has something to say, the elite of the 4 army has assembled [-], the vanguard has already set off first, arrived at Yong'an, and Chen Yong'an will be under the command. As for Deng Dudu's troops, the [-] soldiers under his command have assembled in Fuling, and they can cross the Wuling Mountains at any time and attack Wuling."

This time when the Han Dynasty attacked Wu, the troops were divided into three groups.Jingzhou had [-] troops, Yiling had [-] troops, and Nanzhong had [-] troops, making a total of [-] troops.

If the local support in Jiangzhou and Nanzhong is excluded, the number of troops sent by the Han Dynasty is only 8.

The reason why it is less than 10 people is mainly due to the situation of Cao Wei in the north.Although Cao Wei suffered losses repeatedly, they were still able to launch wars of more than [-] people.In order to defend Guanzhong and Nanyang, the Dahan deployed an army of [-] to [-] people to guard against Cao Wei's changes.

However, in the Shu Han army, except for the second army of Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong, the rest of the main force will be convenient for the transfer of grain and grass due to its proximity to the Han River and the Yangtze River.The big man may be able to last longer this time, so there is no need to rush to a decisive battle, but wait for the turmoil in Jiaozhou to slowly ferment.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said: "When I arrive in Jiangzhou, the army can start."

"About that."

Liu Chan saw that there was basically no problem with the military affairs, so he asked the attendants beside him, "How is the Prime Minister's health today?"

The attendant shook his head and said: "The prime minister is seriously ill and has abdominal pain. He often rests on the couch, so it is difficult to stay on the couch. In the past few months, he has been teaching scriptures, military art, government affairs and Du Yu. Master and apprentice."

Hearing this, Liu Chan was quite relieved, he knew that the arrangement for Du Yu to go to Longzhong was correct.Zhuge Liang's learning is too messy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to master it.Perhaps Du Yu, who is in the same Wenwu Temple, can learn the essence, so that no one can teach Zhuge Liang what he has learned in his life.
