Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1458: Breaking Jiangxia

"General Zhang, now that Jiangdong Army is approaching the city, I ask General Zhang to help you." Wang Can said, he was very clear about Zhang Yun's abilities.

Seeing the urgency of the matter, Zhang Yun didn't excuse too much, "How many soldiers are there in the city?"

"Only more than two thousand people." Wang Can showed a bitter expression. If he had known the actions of the Jiangdong Army in advance, the Jingzhou Navy would not have suffered such heavy losses.

Zhang Yun was silent when he heard the words. He knew the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army, especially the leading general in the army was a strong general like Sun Ce. He was sure that the Jiangdong Army had been secretly planning Jiangxia for a while, but Jingzhou didn't notice it.

"If there are only more than 2,000 people, we need to ask Xiangyang for help." Zhang Yun said.

"Jingzhou is in danger now, and Xiangyang is in danger even more. Where can we find reinforcements?" Wang Can asked anxiously.

"Jiangling." Zhang Yun said slowly, "Nanjun is the largest county in Jingzhou, and Jiangling is the most important. It has excellent soldiers and horses and sufficient food and grass. If the prefect of Nanjun is willing to send troops, it will definitely solve Jiangxia's crisis."

Wang Can was silent when he heard the words. Cai Mao was not only the governor of the navy, but also the prefect of Nanjun. It can be said that in Nanjun, the Cai family is the most powerful, even though Liu Bei wiped out the Cai family's power in Xiangyang. , but the real background of the Cai family is in Nanjun. Although Liu Bei has ideas about the position of the prefect of Nanjun, he still hasn't touched it fundamentally due to the stability of Jingzhou.

Today's Nanjun prefect is Zhang Xian, the former Nanyang prefect. After Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, after the rebellion of the four Jingnan counties, he had many precautions against the Jingnan four counties, and Zhang Xian had a high status in Jingzhou. It was precisely because of Zhang Xian's refuge that Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou calmly. Otherwise, if Zhang Xian defended the city, it would be extremely difficult for Liu Bei to control Jingzhou.

Originally in Nanjun, the Cai family was the dominant power. However, after successive changes, the Nanjun prefect became Zhang Xian, that is, Liu Bei's man. In fact, Zhang Xian did not respect Liu Bei as much as he seemed on the surface. After Cao Cao led the troops to attack Jingzhou, this sentiment became more obvious. In his opinion, the reason why Jingzhou was so turbulent was because Liu Bei expanded too fast. Therefore, they tried to seize Yizhou, which led to Jingzhou's current situation.

"General Zhang, there are not many troops in Nanjun now, so it will be extremely difficult to get reinforcements from Nanjun to come." Wang Can said.

Zhang Yun naturally understands the difficulty. Nanjun is one of the Jingzhou Army's retreat routes, and Nanjun is extremely important to Jingzhou, so the protection in Nanjun is extremely strict. Without Xiangyang's order, if you want to mobilize Nanjun's soldiers and horses, It is simply impossible.

"In this case, we might as well seek help from Xiangyang and Nanjun at the same time." Zhang Yun said.

"That's the only way." Wang Can nodded.

The Jiangdong army's fierce attack was unexpectedly powerful. There were only about 2,000 people in Jiangxia city, and it was in danger under the fierce attack of 40,000 troops.

The combat power of the Jingzhou navy is strong, and it can be put into the battlefield after being incorporated into various ministries.

Although Zhang Yun's ability to lead troops in combat is not weak, facing such an attack from the Jiangdong army, he can only hope that reinforcements from Nanjun can reach Jiangxia soon.

Zhang Xian, the prefect of Nanjun, was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Bei, but he understood that Jiangxia had reached a critical moment. If he did not send troops, Jiangxia would be defeated by the Jiangdong army, so he ordered general Cheng Yan to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to help Jiangxia, and the army entered. After Jiang Xia, it was Sun Ce who led the cavalry to break through, and Cheng Yan fought his way out of the siege. When he returned to Nanjun, there were less than a thousand soldiers and horses left in his hands.

The successive victories of the Jiangdong Army raised the morale of the army. Half a month later, Jiangxia was breached by the Jiangdong Army. Zhang Yun and Wang Can escaped from the siege and fled to Nanjun.

This is the first time that Jiangxia has been truly captured by the Jiangdong Army since the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army fought.

This victory is of great significance to the Jiangdong army. After owning Jiangxia, it means that when the Jiangdong army attacks Jingzhou, they don't need to storm the city.

The breach of Jiangxia caused a great shock in Jingzhou. At this time, Cao Jun besieged Xiangyang in the north of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce led an army into the hinterland of Jingzhou in the south.

After capturing Jiangxia, Sun Ce ordered Cheng Pu to lead 5,000 troops to attack Wuling County, and personally led 20,000 troops to attack Changsha County. Nanjun was rich and prosperous, and Sun Ce wanted to take it. It means cutting off the Jingzhou army's retreat route, and the Jingzhou army must be terrified, and Nanjun is an important place in Jingzhou. Jiangling became the state government of Jingzhou when Wang Rui was in charge of Jingzhou. At the time of Yizhou, it was by water from Nanjun.

Sun Ce followed Zhou Yu's strategy and brought the four Jingnan counties into his hands first. The Jiangdong army who came out might be able to take advantage of the situation and seize Nanjun.

Sun Ce's sudden move to capture Jiangxia caused panic throughout Jingzhou. The feud between Jingzhou and Sun Ce has a long history. Sun Ce's behavior in Jiangdong is even more comparable to that of Lu Bu. Lu Bu treated the family cruelly, and Sun Ce treated the rebellious family basically. It was a case of copying and beheading, but Sun Ce did not adopt Lu Bu's approach, did not infringe on the fundamental interests of the family, and did not arouse the family's resentment.

Sun Ce's behavior in Jiangdong made Sun Ce's reputation not very good. Moreover, Sun Ce was a general. The status of generals in this era is low and despised by literati. Sun Ce doesn't care about these things. He believes that as long as there is a strong The military strength can convince the family.

Cao Cao fell into silence when he learned that Sun Ce sent troops to capture Jiangxia. Even if the same thing happened to him, he would not give up such a good opportunity. The wealth of Jingzhou is well known in the world, so Sun Ce was naturally unwilling to let Cao Jun get Jingzhou. The previous alliance between Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Cao Jun was just to allow the two parties to fight with peace of mind.

Jingzhou is important to Cao Cao, and it is equally important to Jiangdong. As long as he can own the land of Jingzhou, Jiangdong will have greater confidence in the future battlefield, and this is also an opportunity for Jiangdong Army, an opportunity to grow stronger. An enterprising monarch, he doesn't want to be trapped to death in the land of Jiangdong. Although Sun Ce is determined to win Jiaozhou, how can Jiaozhou be compared with Jingzhou.
