At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Zhao Wei lay on the ground in despair, without a trace of brilliance in his eyes.

This time he lost for good, and not just in the war.

Gan Ning, who was ignored by him in the past and sent to die, has now become the top general under Liu Zhang's command.

Especially Gan Ning's arrogant eyes completely defeated Zhao Wei's psychological defense.

Maybe what Gan Ning said is right, from the very beginning, Liu Zhang should not be an enemy...

It's a pity that it's too late, there is no regret medicine in the world, let alone possibility!

In some cases, Zhao Wei is about to be decapitated, and the Zhao family will also be wiped out along with them!

"Zhao Wei, think about it first, how will you face my father once you get down here!"

Liu Zhang didn't want to say anything more, he just waved his hand, and his own soldiers stepped forward to support Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei didn't respond any more, he didn't even insult Liu Zhang anymore, and let the soldiers drag him down like a dead dog, waiting for his final outcome.

The demise of Zhao Wei is not the end of the Berkshire dispute, because there is still Yan family in Zhi County.

Yan Yan is leading an army of 10,000 to stand ready, and is now confronting Xu Huang.

Three days later, after leaving Wu Yi, Zheng Du, and Zhang Song to guard Jiangzhou, Liu Zhang personally led Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Ren with 50,000 troops under his command, and went to Zhixian County with Xun You as his army.

Yan Yan is indeed a general of Yizhou, but also a rebellious person.

Liu Zhang wants to suppress Zhi County with a strong force, and then make an emergency landing on Yan Yan to achieve the goal of truly recovering the general of Yizhou.

The result was quite different from what Liu Zhang had expected. When Liu Zhang led his army to the city of Zhi County, Yan Yan chose Kaesong to surrender without any hesitation.

After Liu Zhang met Yan Yan, he realized that he had done a stupid waste of military power.

Yan Yan didn't have any thoughts of resistance at all. When he heard the news that Jiangzhou City was broken and Zhao Wei died, he was ready to surrender.

Not only that, the counties from Pingdu to the east of Zhi County to Yufu were all surrendered by Yan Yan!

So far, all the 14 counties in Berkshire have surrendered, and Berkshire has been completely pacified.

Liu Zhang left the army in Zhixian County, and handed over all state and county affairs to Empress Xun You. He ordered Zhang Liao to recover Fuling, and personally led Dianwei, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Yan Yan and others to continue eastward, planning to inspect the counties in person.

This time there was no combat mission, Liu Zhang only led Xu Huang's 10,000 troops, Gan Ning's remaining Jinfan Army had 600 men, and Dian Wei chose 2,000 guards to go with him.

With Yan Yan present, all the way was unimpeded, and all the county towns surrendered.

Zhixian County is nearly 700 miles away from Yufu. Fortunately, Liu Zhang and others were able to go down the river. Finally, after a month, they finally reached the junction of Berkshire and Jingzhou, Yufu.

Only after Liu Zhang visited in person did he realize that he had mixed up the historical records. Now Yufu already has Baidi City on the other side, and it was as early as the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

As for the fact that Yong'an does not exist now, Liu Zhang firmly believes that there will be no more in the future, because Liu Bei has no chance to die here, and he will not make the same mistake as Liu Bei.

Standing on the head of Yufu City, Liu Zhang once again appreciates the east gate known as Yizhou's "Gate of Fortune and Disaster".

Yufu and Baidi City depended on each other, and happened to guard the entire Three Gorges area.

If you want to enter Shu from Jingzhou, no matter if you go by water or land, you can't get around Yufu and Baidi City.

If you travel by water, you have to endure the turbulent river water caused by the convergence of the Three Gorges, and you have to face steep peaks and ridges when you travel by land.

"Gongming, as long as the two cities of Yufu and Baidi are guarded, even if the enemy army has a hundred thousand, why should we be afraid?"

Liu Zhang brought Xu Huang to Yufu, and his intention was very clear, that is to hand over the defense here to him.

Yu Fu has Xu Huang leading elite soldiers to garrison, I believe Liu Biao in Jingzhou will not be bored.

"My lord, don't worry, Jingzhou will never steal a single soldier!"

With such an excellent strategic location, if you still don't have the confidence to guard the east gate of Yizhou, then Xu Huang doesn't need to lead troops here, he should go back to his Hedong County as soon as possible to be a clerk! After all, Liu Zhang doesn't want waste.

"Gongming, Yufu has a great relationship with Baidi City, and it may serve as a barrier for our Yizhou for many years to come. Therefore, you must spend some thought to make this an invincible strategic location, so that the enemies who come to invade will never be defeated. My heart is terrified!"

"My lord, don't worry, the general will not disgrace his fate!"

Liu Zhang also had a different purpose in doing this. First of all, it is impossible for Xu Huang to sit here all the time. He will definitely be needed in the future conquest of Liangzhou.

Therefore, during this period of time, Yufu's defense was handed over to Xu Huang, and he was asked to try his best to fill in the gaps here, so that the defense pressure would be less when he sent someone to replace him in the future.

On the contrary, Xu Huang didn't feel any pressure, and his heart was full of excitement.

Yufu can be regarded as the real first line of foreign defense, and Xu Huang has also become a general guarding the frontier.

Liu Zhang nodded with a smile and gave Xu Huang a consoling look.

He has said enough, and I believe that with Xu Huang's ability and mind, he will be able to understand his good intentions.

"The lord sent General Xu Huang to build Yufu, didn't he go down the river and directly take Jing Xiang's mind?"

Gan Ning on the side was very puzzled all the time, after Liu Zhang and Xu Huang stopped talking, he expressed his doubts.

"Xingba, first of all, will be Yizhou Shepherd appointed by His Majesty, if he raises troops eastward for no reason, wouldn't he be suspected of treason?"

"Secondly, whether it is Jingzhou or Yangzhou, it is not something that I can get my hands on now. The navy alone can make us beat our chests."

Gan Ning nodded with some understanding. After a period of understanding, he also understood the composition of Liu Zhang's subordinates.

Most of them are infantry, and a few are cavalry. The composition of these two arms can only be used for land battles, which is really not enough for the Jiangnan water town where the rivers are distributed.

The water army is a general term, not only soldiers fighting on the water, but also a series of supports such as warships.

Cao Cao led an army of nearly 200,000, but was still defeated by the Sun Liu coalition in Chibi. The biggest reason was that the navy was immature.

No matter how strong Liu Zhang is, is he stronger than Cao Cao who unified the Central Plains and Hebei?

Therefore, Liu Zhang forcibly attacked Jingzhou, and it was inevitable that he would end up with the same ending as Cao Cao.

"Xingba, the navy will not understand, but I will know that you are good at this! The position of the commander of the navy in the future will naturally belong to you!"

Gan Ning's eyes widened, and he could not help clenching his fists.

Liu Zhang's expectations of him are really too high! Gan Ning will give Gan Ning a new surprise every time.

"My lord, don't worry, the final general will definitely create a navy army for my lord to roam the rivers and seas!"

Gan Ning dare not boast about Haikou, but Gan Ning, the sailor, is absolutely confident! With his current Six Hundred Jin Sailing Army, he can run across the Yangtze River!

"Xingba, the chaos in the world is a foregone conclusion, the feudal lords are fighting, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period will start again, so in the future, Jingzhou and Yangzhou will become our enemies. Whether we can defeat the enemy or not depends entirely on you."
