The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 315 Jianye City

The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, now Cao Cao occupies Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and part of Yangzhou, and Youzhou is also under the rule of Cao Cao.

As long as Yizhou is taken again, even if Zhang Wu occupies Jingzhou and most of Yangzhou, Cao Cao has an absolute advantage in terms of population and economic development.

The southernmost Jiaozhou is a barren land, and it would be nice to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, Cao Cao is still very confident.No matter how powerful your Zhang Wushui army is, can you still drive the boat to land?After I occupy Yizhou and develop my strength in a few years, when my army of one million will come out of Yizhou and go straight to Jingzhou, what will you use to resist it?

Zhang Wu was also aware of this problem, so he never forgot the importance of Yizhou.It can be said that only by occupying Yizhou can he have the strength to confront Cao Cao for a long time.

No matter how difficult the road in Yizhou is, since the outside can be attacked, the inside can come out. If Cao Jun sends troops from Yizhou, he will not only bypass the Han River, but also directly bypass the Yangtze River, without using water at all. military.

Therefore, the ownership of Yizhou has become the key place to determine the future trend of the world.

Fortunately, Zhang Wu has already made arrangements in advance, and he has a leading party in Yizhou!

After two years of secret deployment, under the arrangement of Zhang Song, the second in command of Yizhou, Meng Da has already served in the Chengdu city defense force, and has taken control of the guards at the north gate of Chengdu.

And Li Yan, Meng Da's best friend, was also assigned to serve under Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire, to assist Yan Yan in guarding Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is now Chongqing. It is the county seat of Berkshire. It is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. Surrounded by water on three sides, the terrain is steep. It is the throat of the Berkshire area guarding the Yangtze River waterway. Its geographical location has very important strategic significance. .

At this time, there are generally two ways to enter Sichuan from the outside. One is the waterway. Take the Yangtze River all the way to the west, pass through the Three Gorges, cross Berkshire, and then go north along the Tuojiang River to reach the vicinity of Chengdu.

The other way is the land route. From Hanzhong, take Jinniu Road or Micang Road, cross Micang Mountain or Daba Mountain, and enter Brazil County or Zitong County.

For Zhang Wu, traveling by land is too troublesome, and Zhang Lu will definitely not allow Zhang Wu to use Hanzhong to go to Yizhou. Who knows if you want to take this opportunity to destroy me?

The reason why Zhang Wu asked Zhang Song to find a way to control the city defense of a city gate in Chengdu was to directly raid Chengdu from the waterway, and then suddenly open the city gate in the middle of the night to let the Jingzhou army enter Chengdu, and directly and simply deal with Liu Zhang.

As long as Chengdu is taken down, Liu Zhang and the high-level officials in Yizhou are under control, and with the help of Zhang Song, the local faction, and the conflict between the local faction and the Dongchuan faction in Yizhou, the situation can be resolved in a short period of time. Control Yizhou internally.

This is where Zhang Wu has an advantage over Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao wants to occupy Yizhou, he must first take Hanzhong, and then find a way to cross Daba Mountain or Micang Mountain, overcoming difficulties along the way.

I don't know if Cao Cao would regret hitting Zhang Song randomly after knowing the truth?

So, this person, until the victory is finally determined, don't get carried away, and don't be arrogant and arrogant, maybe you accidentally offend someone you look down on, which is the key to your final defeat figure.

For example, Yuan Shao felt that he was very good and would definitely defeat Cao Cao. In the end, he not only refused to listen to Xu You's suggestion, but also had Xu You's family arrested. In the end, Xu You defected to Cao Cao, causing his food and grass to be burned, and the morale of the army. The chaos was finally wiped out by Cao Cao.

For example, Cao Cao slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt under ecstasy, and lost his eldest son and beloved general. Of course, Prime Minister Cao has done too many ecstatic things.

There is also Sun Ce, who felt that he was invincible in Jiangdong and slaughtered so many Jiangdong nobles, but was assassinated to death by Xu Gong's disciples.

Now the Jiangdong Sun family is about to become a thing of the past, but Zhang Wu has no energy to besiege Wu County for the time being, because he needs to stabilize the Yangtze River defense line first, and then clean up the various counties in Danyang County.

Danyang County is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with a vast territory and a large population. It is also an important grain-producing area, and Danyang is famous for its elite soldiers.

Cao Cao once said: "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are many and vigorous, they are good at martial arts, they have noble strength, and their soldiers are elite."

The famous general Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty led 8 elite soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu's more than [-] elite cavalry.

After Cao Cao failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, he went to Danyang to recruit soldiers; when Tao Qianxiong dominated Xuzhou, his greatest strength was also his Danyang soldiers. Tao Qian himself was from Danyang.Later, part of Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers followed Liu Bei to fight in the world, and now there are still many Danyang soldiers in Liu Bei's personal guards.

Zhang Wu's main enemy in the future will be Cao Cao, so elite infantry must be indispensable, and Zhang Wu is planning to recruit a large number of Danyang soldiers.

After the Battle of Lujiang and Moling, the Jingzhou Army wiped out a large number of Jiangdong soldiers, beheaded and captured many Jiangdong generals, and Sun Quan lost the two counties of Lujiang and Danyang.

Especially during the 20-day siege of Moling City, more than 2 people were killed or injured.

The Pianshi who attacked Kuaiji also suffered a disastrous defeat. Not only did more than 1 elite soldiers lose, even the deputy general Wang Zhong was killed, and the main general Liu Pan was seriously injured.

Therefore, Zhang Wu planned to recuperate for a while. Anyway, Sun Quan was already a cooked duck and could not fly.

After taking full control of the Yangtze River, Zhang Wu was no longer afraid that Cao Cao would intervene in the war in the south of the Yangtze River, so he could fight Sun Quan whenever he wanted.

And now Sun Quan has reached the end of the road. If he is pushed too fast, he will jump over the wall in a hurry. Take it easy and do other work, maybe it will be easier at that time.

For example, if you do the work of the aristocratic family in Wujun, maybe they will persuade Sun Quan to surrender!

Zhang Wu ordered Zhuge Liang to be transferred to Moling, temporarily serving as the prefect of Danyang, leaving Zhao Yun, Ding Feng, Fu Xun, Kou Feng and other generals to lead [-] sailors and [-] infantry to pacify and defend Danyang and guard against Cao's army in the north.

Wenpin also served as the prefect of Jiangxia, and led [-] navy troops to garrison Jiangxia.After eliminating the threat of the Jiangdong water army, Jingzhou is already very safe, and Jiangxia's military strategic position has declined relatively. However, Jiangxia is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to guard against Cao Jun's surprise attack.

Of course, there are mountains in the north of Jiangxia, and it is impossible for Cao Jun to send a large army.

Gan Ning led [-] naval troops to garrison Chaisang, and at the same time controlled all naval forces, and was responsible for connecting Jingzhou in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River with Yuzhang and Danyang counties in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Coupled with the [-] navy in Xiangyang and the [-] navy in Jiangling, Zhang Wu firmly controlled the waterways of the Yangtze River and the Han River.

Zhang Wu also ordered to build a city northward at the mouth of the Qinhuai River based on Moling, named Jianye, and ordered Zhuge Liang to be in charge of the matter.

In order to build the city smoothly, Zhang Wu ordered Yuzhang County and Luling County to transport grain to Moling in order to recruit people to build the city.
