The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 954 Prelude to the Battle of Jiangdong
Finally, both battlefields are on the offensive.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses moved suddenly, and many people did not expect it.

As soon as the soldiers and horses in Hefei City and Chao County moved, the entire Sun Family Group became uneasy.

Lu'an City and Shouchun City in the northwest immediately shook.

At the beginning, Hefei, Lu'an, and Shouchun City were three pillars, but at this time, half of the soldiers and horses in Hefei City went directly south.

Unable to defend, three strongholds of Wu soldiers and horses along the road were breached, and a county town was breached before it could withstand it for a long time.

The army continued south.

To the east, Zhao Yun did not cross the river, but led a hundred thousand troops to attack southeast from Danyang County.

To the southeast is the area of ​​Poyang Lake, where the lake is located.

The main target of Zhang Yu's attack this time is this lake.

The lake covers a very large area, and the food that can be produced every year will be massive.

The lake area is not easy to defend, and Sun Ce stationed a troop here, focusing on defending the surrounding city. As long as the city is defended, even if the surrounding area is occupied by the enemy, it can be taken back.

Zhao Yun attacked these places to attract the attention of the enemy.

Guo Jia quietly crossed the Yangtze River.

The situation in Jiangdong made the soldiers and horses of Soochow confused for a while.

The key is that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not there.

In the past, Cai Mao had deliberately cooperated with Zhang Yu to find faults in the Dongting Lake area.

All kinds of fault finding made Sun Ce have to deal with it.

Cai Mao was just looking for faults, and he didn't reach the situation of launching a war, so Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not very nervous, they just took care of it.

At first, Sun Ce and the others judged that Cai Mao just wanted to intervene in some shipping in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Sun Ce and others controlled the Yangtze River waterway in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which made Cai Mao always dissatisfied.

Cai Mao has always wanted to intervene in this shipping, because the benefits in it are too great.

It was originally controlled by Zhang Yu, and it was not easy for him to intervene, but after Sun Ce and the others turned against Zhang Yu, they took control of this water area.

Even so, passing merchant ships can still pass through normally, but they have to undergo inspections and pay taxes.

Zhang Yu can't help it. To regain control, a large number of troops will be dispatched, which will cost a lot. The key is that those places along the Yangtze River are not controlled by himself, and they will be lost quickly after regaining them.

After Guo Jia crossed the Yangtze River, he went to the army with the cooking machine.

After he arrived in Nest County, Ling Cao was ready.

"Military division, the army is ready, where are we going to attack next?"

Guo Jia looked at the map on the table and said: "The territory is not important. The goal of our battle this time is to destroy part of the enemy's vital force, and then slowly clean up the territory."

The level of secrecy in this battle was very high. Of course, as a senior general, Ling Cao knew all of Zhang Yu's intentions.

It's just that Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to formulate the detailed battle plan by himself, and let Guo Jia play it on the spot.

"Our soldiers from Chao County and Hefei went south to attack Lujiang County. This is the western front. If we can attract the enemy troops from Lu'an City and Shouchun City to come out to rescue, we will work together to encircle and wipe out part of them. Then the power balance in the entire Jiangdong area will be different. It is clear."

Guo Jia continued: "We must seize the time to win a few battles before Sun Ce and Cao Cao can react, so that this battle can fully achieve its goal."

Guo Jia predicted that Cao Cao would definitely interfere, but he couldn't mobilize too much power in a short time.

Ling Cao understood Guo Jia's intentions, the early stage is not important, the most important thing is to attack the enemy's army.

"We immediately dispatched troops to attack from the eastern front, preparing to control the entire Yangtze River. Attract the enemy to attack."

Guo Jia pointed to the map and drew a line from Chao County, Wuwei, Xiang'an, and Linhu.

Guo Jia's intention is obvious, to attack these three counties, if these three counties are attacked, then they will control a long section of the Yangtze River.

After understanding Guo Jia's intentions, Ling Cao said: "Don't worry, the military commander, we must show momentum and cooperate with the troops on the western front to make the enemy misjudge our intentions."

The defenders of Lu'an City and Shouchun City are both Sun Ce's generals.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai defended Lu'an City, while Shouchun City was defended by veteran Huang Zhong, and later Han Dang also came to support.

There are four generals in these two cities, and there are more than 20 soldiers and horses.

Sun Ce didn't have many soldiers and horses before. Although there are more than 80 soldiers and horses now, the weapons and equipment have not been able to keep up.

But the Poyang Lake area is definitely an important area for Sun Ce, and all elite soldiers are deployed.

Nearly half of Sun Ce's troops were deployed in the Poyang Lake area.

Lu'an City and Shouchun City suddenly sent orders back and forth one after another.

The enemy's intelligence was conveyed, as well as the opinions of several generals.

Jiang Qin has a lot of information in his hands, and he is discussing with Zhou Tai.

"Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses suddenly went south to attack Lujiang County. I am afraid that the intention is to target the entire Poyang Lake." Jiang Qin said.

Zhou Tai frowned and said: "General Huang's analysis is also very reasonable. It may be that the soldiers here are just to cooperate with Zhang Yu's actions in the north, to hold us back, and to attract Cao Cao's attention, so that Cao Cao can't help it." Dare to continue to send heavy troops to support the north."

Jiang Qin also felt that it made sense, the information in their hands was not complete.

But several people were also worried that the north was a cover, and what Zhang Yu really wanted to attack was the south.

None of them thought that Zhang Yu was capable of fighting Cao Cao and them at the same time.

"It will take several days to send the information back and forth to the lord. If we respond by then, it may be too late." Jiang Qin said: "In any case, we must respond."

Huang Gai and Han Dang also judged in the same way. The incident was too sudden. They did not expect Jiang Dong to act suddenly when the signs were not obvious.

This can only show that the campaign in the north was too successful, and the concealment of this operation is too good.

"We sent troops to explore the reality of Hefei City and Chao County, and we can send troops with Lu'an to attack these two cities." Finally, Huang Gai said after discussing with Han Dang.

The two quickly informed Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai of their ideas, and they agreed to the plan after some analysis.

On the afternoon of the second day after Jiangdong dispatched troops, the two cities finally responded.

Shouchun and Lu'an each dispatched 5 troops, and then rushed towards Chao County and Hefei City.

Chaoxian County has always been Jiangdong's logistics base here. If they attack Chaoxian County, if the opponent makes a fake move, they may be forced to return to the army to defend.

When they dispatched troops, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses continued to attack under the leadership of several young generals, targeting the city of Lujiang County.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses attacked Lujiang County.

There are [-] soldiers and horses in the city of Lujiang County. According to the configuration, it should be able to defend for more than a month. It is not very dangerous at present.

The entire Lujiang County, or the entire western part of Yangzhou, was in chaos. Zhang Yu and the others sent troops in three directions, and Sun Ce's side has not yet been able to figure out the enemy's intentions.
