Chapter 169 Returning to the carbine and returning to the ban

Zhang Yi captured Xuyi, and Pan Zhang also captured Huai Ling.Zhang Yi left Jiang Qin to defend the two counties, and ordered Xu Sheng to lead a navy to cruise the upper reaches of the Huai River to meet Jiang Qin.

Zhang Yi rested for a few days and entered Hongze Lake again by boat.Zhang Yi's soldiers, after offensive training, all have a certain degree of water quality.Even if he hasn't learned how to swim, he can still take a boat, so that he can maximize the advantages of his navy.

Zhang Yi landed directly at Sheyang from Hongze Lake, and then went directly east to the city of Sheyang.

In Sheyang City, Chen Deng and Yu Jin were confused by Zhang Yi again. They didn't know why Zhang Yi left for half a month.If Zhang Yi didn't show up, they might have thought that Zhang Yi had retreated, but they didn't expect that Zhang Yi was back, so they had to think about where Zhang Yi had been in the past half month.

Looking at the map of Xuzhou, Chen Deng swiped at the place where Xu Yang handed over, and his finger stopped in the Huailing area of ​​Xuyi.

After Yu Jin saw this, he asked in confusion: "You think Zhang Yi captured Xuyi and Huailing in the past half month?"

Chen Deng nodded: "The only possibility is here."

Yu Jin said in confusion: "Forgive me for being stupid, although Xuyi Huailing is a grain-producing place, Zhang Yi doesn't seem to be short of grain, right?"

Chen Deng said: "Zhang Yi is indeed not short of food, but most of his food is in Huainan (Jiujiang County, Jiujiang County is also called Huainan County, here refers to the county not the region) Lujiang, it is quite complicated to transport it. Especially Dongyang and Pingan counties were acquired by Zhang Yi, and the road was not very peaceful. Zhang Yi has the advantage of the navy, as long as he takes Xuyi and Huailing, he can open up the waterway and transport grain directly from Shouchun."

Yu Jin took a deep breath, "Zhang Yi actually devised such a strategy that people can't even guard against."

Chen Deng said: "It is true. Now that Zhang Yi has opened up the water channel, he can transport grain directly from Hongze Lake. The land grain road is only thirty or forty miles away. It is impossible for us to rob the grain."

Yu Jin said proudly: "There is enough food in the city for a year, and Jin can guarantee to last a year."

Chen Deng glanced at him and asked, "What about in a year?"

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Zhang Yi can still attack for a year?"

"But he can besiege the city for a year!" Chen Deng said: "Now the upper and lower reaches of the Huai River are occupied by Zhang Yi, even if Lord Sikong sends reinforcements, he will not be able to cross the river."

"Not necessarily!" Yu Jin said: "In two or three months, the water level of the Huai River will drop to the lowest level, and it may even freeze. At that time, the advantage of Zhang Yi's water army will no longer exist."

"It's the right time! We can't guess."

Whether the Huai River freezes in winter is a serious problem.This is related to the victory or defeat of a war, and it may also be related to the rise and fall of a dynasty.But the answer can be very certain, this year's Huai River will definitely freeze.

In ancient China, there were many periods when the climate was very cold, much colder than it is now.The coldest time was the Little Ice Age of the Ming Dynasty. This period directly caused various natural disasters, and many people had no food to eat, so they revolted one after another, which became one of the most important conditions for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.If there were no natural disasters in this period, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would not have so many supporters, and they would not be able to rebel if they wanted to.

The Three Kingdoms period was also a relatively cold period, and it was very cold until the Eastern Jin Dynasty.This is why the Hu people were able to occupy the north in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties appeared.

You must know that from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, even if Wei, Shu and Wu fought fiercely, they did not weaken the Hu people's combat capabilities at all.Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan and controlled the Xiongnu; Sun Quan conquered the mountains; Zhuge Liang conquered the southern barbarians.The Qiang people among the Wuhu are swinging between Wei and Shu. The Jie people are still just a small tribe, working as mercenaries for various forces. The Di people have not yet been separated from the Qiang people, and should be called Baima Qiang at present.Only Xianbei is considered a big force, but Xianbei is more divided than the Han Dynasty and has too much time to take care of itself.

Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has always suppressed the surrounding Hu people until after the Western Jin Dynasty.After the Western Jin Dynasty tossed itself to death, the Eastern Jin Dynasty retreated to the south.To be honest, it is not impossible for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to regain the lost ground, but the people at that time did not want to take it back at all!It is cold in the north and there is no food to eat.You must know that many of the Five Hus use people as military rations. Apart from psychological abnormalities, there are also reasons why they really have no food to eat.

It is said that human flesh is sour, and there will not be so many perverts who like to eat human flesh.If there is food in the north, it is impossible for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to let it go.You must know that most of Xie Xuan's Beifu soldiers came from the north. How could they not want to conquer the lost ground?So many people in the Southern Song Dynasty advocated the Northern Expedition?In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, no emperor was arrested, and the land that was conquered could be shared by those aristocratic families, and many of them were the ancestral lands of northern aristocratic families, so there was no resistance at all.

But we don't seem to have heard of the Northern Expedition in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After that, the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen all had the Northern Expedition. Liu Yu, Chen Qingzhi, Tan Daoji and others all carried out the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Yi also felt that time was pressing, so after building the siege equipment, he immediately attacked the city. He wanted to take down Sheyang before the Huai River froze, and pull out all Cao Cao's strongholds south of the Huai River.

"Kill!" Zhang Yi's soldiers are also very combative. Zhang Yi treats these soldiers very well. Armors will also be made of wooden armor for them, and the wooden armor soaked in tung oil is also very protective.Of course, this kind of armor is afraid of fire attack, but fire attack is very difficult when attacking the city, you need to pour oil and then throw fire down.Don't mention rockets, rockets at this time are even more difficult to get than torches, requiring high technical content.

Chen Deng and Yu Jin were both famous generals at the time, and they easily organized their soldiers to deal with Zhang Yi's various offensives.

Zhang Yi looked at the two generals on the tower above the city where the arrows could not shoot.

"Yu Jin, force: 91, strategy: 97, strategy: 87, internal affairs: 71, education: 82, diplomacy: 62. Characteristics: general."

"Chen Deng, force: 46, strategy: 91, strategy: 95, internal affairs: 91, education: 83, diplomacy: 90. Characteristics: civil and military."

These two people really deserve to be outstanding!Yu Jinzhan has 97, and Chen Deng has four attributes above [-].

There are really not many people under Zhang Yi who can compare with them. Only those famous generals and figures in history can compare with them.Cao Cao has so many talents!If these people are used by me, how many years in advance will I agree to China!

 Thank you for the reward when true love is hurt by ruthlessness, and the reward for the thousand rewards that are like a hook in the middle of the night.

  Subscription results are a mess!Almost reached 50:1, I... I really have nothing to say
