Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1458: Breaking Jiangxia

"General Zhang, now that the Jiangdong Army has arrived at the city, I would like to ask General Zhang to help." Wang Can said, he was very clear about Zhang Yun's abilities.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Zhang Yun did not refuse too much, "How many soldiers are there in the city now?"

"There are only more than two thousand people." Wang Can said with a bitter look on his face. If he had known about Jiangdong Army's actions in advance, the Jingzhou navy would not have suffered such heavy losses. It would be easy to rely on Jiangxia to stop Jiangdong Army's attack.

Zhang Yun was silent after hearing this. He knew the combat effectiveness of Jiangdong Army, especially the leader of the army was a fierce general like Sun Ce. What he was sure of was that Jiangdong Army had been secretly planning Jiang Xia for some time, but Jingzhou was not aware of it.

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

"Jingzhou is in danger now, and Xiangyang is even more in danger. Where can we get 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 governor of Nanjun is willing to send troops, he will definitely be able to relieve the crisis in Jiangxia."

Wang Can was silent after hearing this. Cai Mao was not only the commander of the navy, but also the governor of Nanjun. It can be said that in Nanjun, the power of the Cai family is the most powerful. Even when Liu Bei was in Xiangyang, he eradicated the power of the Cai family.

, but the real heritage of the Cai family is in Nanjun. Although Liu Bei had ideas about the position of Nanjun's governor, he did not fundamentally touch it due to the stability of Jingzhou.

The current governor of Nanjun is Zhang Xian, the former governor of Nanyang County. After Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, after the rebellion of the four counties in Jingnan, he had many defenses against the four counties in Jingnan. Moreover, Zhang Xian had a high status in Jingzhou, and he had a high status in Jingzhou.

It was precisely because of Zhang Xian's surrender that Liu Bei could easily take over Jingzhou. Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for Liu Bei to control Jingzhou if Zhang Xian had defended the city.

Originally, the Cai family was the dominant force in Nanjun. However, after successive changes, the governor of Nanjun became Zhang Xian, a member of Liu Bei. In fact, Zhang Xian did not respect Liu Bei as much as he seemed, especially

This sentiment became even more obvious after Cao Cao led his troops to attack Jingzhou. In his opinion, the reason why Jingzhou was so turbulent was because Liu Bei was expanding too fast. After the coalition of princes attacked Bingzhou, Jingzhou was not completely destroyed

In order to ensure the stability of the country, they tried to seize Yizhou, which led to the current situation in Jingzhou.

"General Zhang, there are not many soldiers and horses in Nanjun now. It is extremely difficult to get reinforcements from Nanjun to come." Wang Can said.

Zhang Yun naturally understands the difficulty. Nanjun is one of the retreat routes for the Jingzhou army, and Nanjun is extremely important to Jingzhou, so the protection in Nanjun is extremely tight. Without orders from Xiangyang, if you want to mobilize Nanjun's troops,

It's simply impossible.

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

"That's all." Wang Can nodded.

Jiangdong Army's fierce attack was unexpectedly powerful. There were only about 2,000 people in Jiangxia City, but they were in danger of enduring the fierce attack of 40,000 troops. After Sun Ce gathered the Jingzhou navy, the number of troops under his command not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

The Jingzhou navy has a strong fighting capacity and can be put into the battlefield after being organized into various units.

Although Zhang Yun's ability to lead troops in battle is not weak, facing such an attack by Jiangdong Army, he can only hope that reinforcements from Nanjun can reach Jiangxia quickly.

Although Zhang Xian, the governor of Nanjun, was a little dissatisfied with Liu Bei, he understood that Jiangxia had reached a critical moment. If troops and horses were not sent out, Jiangxia would be defeated by the Jiangdong Army, so he ordered General Cheng Yan to lead 3,000 troops to rush to Jiangxia and the army entered.

After Jiangxia, Sun Ce led the cavalry to defeat them. Cheng Yan fought tooth and nail to break through the siege. When he returned to Nanjun, he had less than a thousand soldiers and horses left.

Jiangdong's army's successive victories boosted the morale of the army. Half a month later, Jiangxia was defeated by Jiangdong's army. Zhang Yun and Wang Can broke out of the encirclement and fled to Nanjun.

This is the first time that Jiangxia has been truly captured by the Jiangdong Army since the Jingzhou Army fought with the Jiangdong Army. This victory is of great significance to the Jiangdong Army. After possessing Jiangxia, it means that the Jiangdong Army attacks Jingzhou.

When the time comes, there is no need to storm the city.

The defeat of Jiangxia caused a great shock in Jingzhou. At this time, Cao's army in the north of Jingzhou besieged Xiangyang, and Sun Ce led an army in the south of Jingzhou to enter the hinterland of Jingzhou.

After capturing Jiangxia, Sun Ce reorganized his troops and ordered Cheng Pu to lead 5,000 troops to attack Wuling County. He personally led 20,000 troops to attack Changsha County. Nan County was rich and prosperous, and Sun Ce wanted to capture Nan County. However, once Nan County was captured,

This means that the retreat route of the Jingzhou Army has been cut off, and the Jingzhou Army must be panicked. Moreover, Nan County is an important place in Jingzhou. Jiangling became the seat of state governance in Jingzhou when Wang Rui was in charge of Jingzhou. Its importance to Jingzhou is self-evident. Liu Bei entered

When we were in Yizhou, we took the waterway from Nanjun.

Sun Ce followed Zhou Yu's plan and took the four counties of Jingnan into his hands first, which was the most important thing at the moment. Leaving Nanjun behind would allow the Jingzhou Army to work harder against Cao Cao.

Jiangdong's army might be able to seize Nanjun.

Sun Ce suddenly took over Jiangxia, causing everyone in Jingzhou to panic. Jingzhou and Sun Ce had a long-standing feud. Sun Ce's actions in Jiangdong were even more comparable to Lu Bu's. Lu Bu treated the aristocratic family cruelly, while Sun Ce treated the rebellious family basically.

It was to kill the whole family, but Sun Ce did not adopt Lu Bu's method, did not infringe on the fundamental interests of the family, and did not arouse the resentment of the family.

Sun Ce's behavior in Jiangdong made Sun Ce's reputation not very good. Moreover, Sun Ce was a military general. The status of military generals in this era was low and was despised by literati. Sun Ce did not care about these things. He believed that as long as he was strong,

His military power can impress the noble family.

When Cao Cao learned that Sun Ce had sent troops to capture Jiangxia, he fell into silence. Even if the same thing was done to him, he would not give up such a good opportunity. Jingzhou's wealth was well known to the world, so Sun Ce was naturally unwilling to let Cao's army take 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's army, an opportunity to grow. Sun Ce is a promising

An enterprising monarch, he did not want to be trapped and die in Jiangdong. Although Sun Ce was determined to win Jiaozhou, how could Jiaozhou be compared with Jingzhou?
