Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

240 AD, Jianxing 18th year, April.

After the great man went down the river and captured the residence of Xiongfu, he surrounded Yiling, built earth hills on the top, dug tunnels on the bottom, blocked the reinforcements from the outside, and built the city fortress inside, with the idea of ​​smashing the city of Yiling. .

However, this situation did not last for a few days. Lu Xun led the navy up the river, with Ding Feng as the vanguard, crossed the Yangtze River, arrived at the north bank, seized the dangerous point of Xiaoting, and confronted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan wants to fight Lu Xun decisively, but Lu Xun sticks to the camp and does not start a confrontation with Liu Chan's army.

Faced with such a situation, Huang Quan was very clear-headed.Based on Yiling's intelligence, he analyzed the situation of the enemy and ourselves in detail for Liu Chan.He said that the city of Yiling was strong, and that there could be no fewer than ten thousand soldiers in the city, and there should be more than ten thousand or twenty thousand people in the city.

However, although Yiling City was abundant in grain and grass, it couldn't bear the large number of Wu troops in the city, and the Han Dynasty had more than [-] shi of army grain from the Xiongfu's residence.Our army can last for a long time, but Wu's army may not be able to last for a long time.

Therefore, I, a big man, can besiege Yiling City and wait for work at ease, waiting for Lu Xun to approach the city to help.At that time, our army can take advantage of the Han army's land battle and defeat Lu Xun's reinforcements.When Lu Xun is defeated, there will be no rescue outside the city, morale will be lost, and it will be easy to break the city.

Liu Chan resolutely adopted Huang Quan's advice, fought steadily, built a stronghold, avoided the battle, and waited for Lu Xun's troops to come to take the initiative to attack.

And Lu Xun also vaguely sensed Liu Chan's thoughts, so he sent a small group of troops to fight in depth to understand the deployment of the Han army, and sent sailors up the river to cruise at the mouth of Yiling Gorge.

Under the sunshine of Chunyang, dozens of Han army trebuchets flew across the sky, only a loud "boom" was heard, and more than a dozen stones smashed heavily on the wall of Yiling city, but they did not shake the solid city at all. head.The remaining stones either flew into the city, destroying houses, or hit the ground, setting off a cloud of smoke.

On the gentle surface of the Yangtze River, more than a hundred warships of the Wu army were cruising on the river. The soldiers of the Wu army on board made provocative words and shouted: "Son Liu Chan, do you dare to fight grandpa and me?"

Liu Chan, who was standing on the earthy mountain in the camp, looked at this scene and pursed his lips. He had long been familiar with this situation.Over the past few days, Wu Jun has come to yell and scold him several times.All the generals wanted to fight, but they were all stopped by Liu Chan.

The generals of the Han army beside Liu Chan all showed resentment, Huo Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the navy out of the stronghold and down the river, so as to break the spirit of the Wu people and make them dare not underestimate us."

"Wu Gou bullies people too much, and the general is willing to lead the army to fight."

Under the feeling of the emperor's humiliation and his minister's death, all the generals of the Han army asked for the battle one after another.

It's uncomfortable for people to point their noses and scold them, but Liu Chan also knows that he has hurt the Wu people by doing so, otherwise, no one would have been scolded for several days in a row.

Yiling City is the gateway to Shu, a place that military strategists must contend for.The guard is Bu Zhi, a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and a relative of Sun Quan.Lu Xun had to be rescued, but if he was forced to rescue, he would have to fight a field battle with the Han army who was good at land warfare. How could Wu Jun survive.

Drawing on the experience of the old Liu Yiling's defeat last time, Liu Chan saw it very clearly, and fought steadily, advancing both land and water, breaking through Yiling first, and then taking the road to Yiling.Liu Chan, who was not in a hurry, made Lu Xun a little anxious, so he sent a navy to invite the battle.

Liu Chan held his long sword in his hand, sneered a few times, and said: "Although Lu Xun has a strategy, he dare not fight in the field because of the weakness of Wu's soldiers and cavalry. With the current situation, our army must not fall for this strategy, so there is no need for the generals to say more. Soldiers built camps, built deep ravines, trapped infantry."

"No!" The generals looked at each other and replied helplessly.

While speaking, Liu Chan condescendingly saw a fertile field between Yiling City and the Yangtze River, pointed at it with his whip, and said, "It's time for spring plowing, so don't neglect farming, and carefully select three thousand old and weak people to farm here."

snort!
You don't want me to play steadily, I insist on playing this game.Why not just farm!A few years before Lao Tzu ascended the throne, a lot of fields could be planted.

"promise!"

In Xiaoting camp, Wu Jun was in the tent.

Lu Xun sat on his seat, holding a scroll, and read it quietly.

Zhang Liang was wearing armor, with a dejected look on his face, and entered the account on foot.

This Zhang Liang is not the Zhang Liang of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this Zhang Liang is the new generation general of Soochow.Sun Quan made an exception and promoted Zhang Liang as Marquis of Guannei. Later, Zhang Liang was highly valued by Lu Xun because of his excellent strategic vision.

When the Great Han was in charge of the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, Zhang Liang was ordered by Lu Xun to pretend to attack Xiangfan to the north, but in fact he attacked Jiangxia, attacked the entire county of Jiangxia, and worshiped him as the governor of Mianzhong.

When Lu Xun heard the footsteps, he didn't raise his head. He looked at the scroll and asked calmly, "How is the situation of the Shu army?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "I would like to report to the general, no matter how our soldiers shout and provoke, Liu Chan will not be moved, and only order the soldiers to build deep camps and build fortifications."

Lu Xun raised his head, looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Does the Shu army have any other actions?"

Zhang Liang hesitated a little, and replied: "Liu Chan ordered [-] soldiers to cultivate the fields between Yiling City and Dajiang. The longer I wait, the more soldiers he will send to cultivate."

Lu Xun raised his eyebrows and cursed in a low voice, "Little slippery man."

The act of farming on the spot clearly revealed Liu Chan's desire to fight a war of attrition with Wu Jun.The defenders in the city were probably even more desperate when they saw the Shu army farming on the spot.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Zhuang of Chu attacked Suiyang, the capital of Song Dynasty, and besieged the chief of Jiuyue.At that time, in order to disintegrate the morale of the defenders in the city, the Chu army adopted the strategy of farming outside the city, and made a long-term plan to prepare for war.For a while, people in Suiyang City were in panic. If the news that the Chu army was running out of food and grass hadn't been leaked, Song Wengong would have planned to surrender.

Of course, on the other hand, it was also for Lu Xun to see.Show your strategy, Liu Chan, I know, if you don't attack, I will besiege and fight a protracted war, forcing you to make the first move.

Lu Xun rubbed his temples, and he had to say that Liu Chan's move hit Soochow's vital point.

Although Yiling was besieged, to be honest, Lu Xun was not too anxious.With the fortification and facilities of Yiling City, it is more than enough to hold on for half a year.In the past six months, the situation in the world can undergo great changes. For example, the people of Wei sent troops to attack Shu.

But what really made Lu Xun anxious were the Wu Dang and Liao rebels on the Jingjiao border.Soochow's governance of Jiaozhou was mainly based on exploitation, so Jiaozhou barbarians rebelled all the year round.The two rebels took advantage of the battle ahead and the internal emptiness, and the joint barbarians rapidly expanded and developed within a few months.

Liao Shi used Linhe County as his base to harass Yulin, Lingling, and Guiyang counties; although Wu Dang failed to attack Panyu, the Nanhai county, he turned westward to Cangwu and Yulin to respond to Liao Shi's troops. Develop towards Jiaozhi County in the south of Jiaozhou.

Lu Dai, who went south to suppress the rebellion, was appointed by Sun Quan as Jiaozhou Shepherd. He led an army of 5000 people.Later, Sun Quan drew another 5000 people from the reserve team under his command and sent them to Lv Dai to form a combined force of [-], but the battle was still at a stalemate.

The battle situation in Jingjiao was rotten, and the news from Jiaozhou, except for some news at sea, was basically cut off.

As for Jiangling, the fighting is stable.Not long after Wang Ping and Deng Ai got out of the mud, they bumped into Jiangling Jiancheng again.They built fortifications and piled up soil to form mountains, intending to storm Jiangling City.

Zhuge Ke was garrisoned in Le Township on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Together with Zhu Ran's 3 men in Jiangling City, it was feasible for Wang Ping and Deng Ai to contain [-] men.

After a long time, Lu Xun took a deep breath to calm down the anxiety in his heart.Up to now, no one can tell for sure, and the situation in Jingnan is beyond his control.I still need to eliminate external interference and concentrate on playing against Liu Chan.
