Chapter 23 Zhang Wu is about to fight
Finally, Zhang Wu issued a series of orders, appointing Chen Sun as the deputy general of Jiangxia County, responsible for the defense of Jiangxia; appointed Gan Ning as the commander of the Jiangxia Navy, commanding the Jiangxia Navy, responsible for the defense of Jiangdong; and appointed Mi Heng as the prime minister and partial commander of Jiangxia County. Shi, the Chief of the General's Office, was temporarily in charge of all affairs of Jiangxia County; he appointed Hua Tuo as Jiangxia County Medical Cao and Jiangxia Military Medical Officer, responsible for training and managing military doctors in Jiangxia Army.

Su Fei had a pretty good relationship with Gan Ning before, but after being persuaded by Gan Ning, he finally recognized the facts and decided to join Zhang Wu, who was appointed by Zhang Wu as the infantry commander, but he had no military power, and was only responsible for conscription, training and some logistics.

As long as other former officials took refuge in Zhang Wu, they were basically resettled. In this way, Zhang Wu can be regarded as completely controlling Jiangxia County, and really has a small territory in the Three Kingdoms.

The war in the north has been decided. Cao Cao won this crucial war with a small number and a large number. He not only captured a large number of soldiers, seized a large amount of grain, grass and weapons, but also gained generals such as Zhang He and Gao Lan. Jushou refused to surrender and was killed by Cao Cao. .

After Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng, he believed Guo Tu's slander and killed Tian Feng in prison.In this battle, the troops were lost and the vitality was severely damaged. Although the strength was still great, the advantage was no longer so obvious.More importantly, after this battle, Yuan Shao was severely hit, his health gradually failed, and he began to ignore political affairs.Yuan Shao's wife Liu took the opportunity to persuade Yuan Shao to establish an heir, and Yuan Tan's party and Yuan Shang's party started fighting again.

Cao Cao is not a soft-hearted person. He will take advantage of your illness to kill you. He wants to completely defeat Yuan Shao, his old friend, and unify the north.And reinforcements came from Yuan Shao: Yuan Xi led [-] troops from Youzhou; Yuan Tan led [-] troops from Qingzhou; his nephew Gao Gan led [-] troops from Bingzhou.

The two sides began to confront each other again.

Zhang Wu knew that Yuan Shao was about to die. Once Yuan Shao died, his sons fought with each other, and Cao Cao would eventually deal with them one by one. He wanted to use this time to develop his power. Definitely can't resist it.

In fact, the Jiangxia County currently occupied by Zhang Wu is not the complete Jiangxia County.Since Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu, the Sun family from Jiangdong gradually occupied the territory of Jiangxia County on the south bank of the Yangtze River and stationed troops in Shaxian to suppress the Jiangxia army.Huang Zu was afraid of being beaten by Sun Ce. He never thought of fighting back, so he could only defend on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Anyway, with the support of Jingzhou behind him, Sun Ce couldn't take it even if he attacked.In the original work, it was necessary to wait until Gan Ning surrendered Jiangdong, allowing Sun Quan to obtain information on the north bank, and then he attacked Jiangxia and killed Huang Zu.

In this life, Huang Zu was killed by Zhang Wu's design, Jiangxia City was never breached by Sun Quan, the Jiangbei part of Jiangxia County was not looted by the Jiangdong Army, and most of the Jiangxia Water Army was preserved. The overall strength is stronger than that in the original book Jiangxia is stronger.

Therefore, after Zhang Wu integrated and controlled the Jiangxia army, he was ready to go to war. His target was Lingtong stationed in Shaxian. There are five reasons:

One is that although Zhang Wu has integrated and controlled Jiangxia's army, he still needs to go to the battlefield to get used to it, and at the same time to actually verify how much enhancement he can add to his soldiers.

Second, just after Jiang Xia was defeated, the old magistrate was captured by the enemy and had his head beheaded. Sun Quan never expected that Zhang Wu would dare to take the initiative to attack, and he could catch the enemy by surprise, and this time the leader of the navy was Gan Ning. It's definitely not the kind of garbage like Deng Fei and Chen.

The third is that Jiangxia has never won against Jiangdong, and has lost for more than ten years. Almost everyone knows that Jiangxia’s army can’t beat Jiangdong’s army, and Jiangdong’s army believes in it. The so-called "arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated" can take advantage of the enemy's psychology of underestimating the enemy.

The fourth is that Zhang Wu is not well-known, he has never fought a war before, and he has a bad background.To put it bluntly, Zhang Wu's status in the arena is not as good as that of Huang Zu. Although Huang Zu has been defeated all the time, he has been defeated repeatedly, at least because he has rich experience.

The fifth reason is that although Ling Tong is also very brave and capable of fighting in water, he is still young and has not yet grown up. At least he is worse than Gan Ning, and this person hates Gan Ning deeply. Sometimes hatred can make people lose their minds, which is very fatal to a general leading an army.

Therefore, Zhang Wu held a pre-war mobilization and deployment meeting, attended by people he trusted, but when he proposed to send troops to attack the Jiangdong Army, all the civil and military officials were horrified, why would they want to die?Wasn’t the lesson learned not long ago profound enough?Governor Huang's head is still on display in front of Sun Jian's tomb. How about living well?
For Zhang Wu, as long as two people have confidence, it doesn't matter to others. One of these two people is himself, and the other is Gan Ning. As for Chen Sun...

I only heard Chen Sun shouting loudly: "I will do what the elder brother says. I am afraid of a bird. Isn't the Jiangdong army also human? If you cut it with a knife, you will die!"

Zhang Wu asked Gan Ning again: "What do Xingba think?"

"I think it can be fought. Most of the main forces of the Jiangdong Army are in the Lujiang, Moling, and Wujun areas, and some are suppressing Shanyue in the rear. The Lingtong Department stationed in Shaxian has only 5000 people. We have an advantage in strength. Wait for the main force of the Jiangdong Army When we come to help, we will finish the fight. But we must also pay attention to Xu Sheng stationed in Chaisang and Han Dang's troops in Yuzhang to come to support."

"I have my own arrangements for this. Everyone is starting to prepare now, and the troops will be dispatched in three days."

Then, Zhang Wu called Chen Sun, Gan Ning, and Mi Heng for a small meeting and arranged tasks.Chen Sun and Mi Heng stayed in Jiangxia to maintain order and arrange logistics. Gan Ning led [-] naval troops to go out, and the rest of the troops defended the river to guard against Xu Sheng of Chaisang. Zhang Wu personally led [-] infantry to go out.

In Shaxian City, Ling Tong is leading people to patrol the river.

Ling Tong has been very depressed recently. He took the initiative to apply to stay in Sha Xian because he wanted to find an opportunity to kill Gan Ning to avenge his father. However, Gan Ning never came out and stayed in Jiangxia City, only in the waters controlled by Jiangxia Navy. Activity.Ling Tong couldn't just kill them either. After all, his troops were small, only 5000, of which [-] were infantry used to defend the city.

Ling Tong also sent people many times to provoke Jiang Xia's naval forces, but that damned Gan Ning just didn't come out and only shot arrows from a distance.This despicable and shameless person would sneak up and shoot in the back, and never dared to fight head-on with the Jiangdong navy, which made Ling Tong's teeth itch with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Just as Ling Tong inspected the nearby waters and was about to return to the water village, a spy hurriedly came to Ling Tong and reported that he had spotted a Jiangxia fleet approaching.

Ling Tong immediately led people to check, and sure enough, he saw a fleet of ships sailing towards Shaxian, with the flag of Jingzhou and the flag of "Gan" on board.

Could it be that Gan Ning is here?It seems that there are only more than 1000 people, and they are still walking so covertly. Could it be that they are here for reconnaissance?
Ling Tong hurriedly returned to the water stronghold to light up the water army, and went to meet the fleet from Jiang Xia.
