Chapter 267: Wolong
"Hey, it's a pity that Liu Bei moved the camp in advance, otherwise our army would have been able to annihilate the Shu army in one fell swoop!" Pan Zhang sighed, feeling very sorry.
He and Zhu Ran did not have Lu Xun's calmness, and they regretted it very much after finding out that they had missed the fighter.
"Don't worry, two generals! Now the initiative of the battle situation is in the hands of our army! As long as the camp is firmly defended, in more than ten days, the Shu army will not be able to withstand the scorching heat, and its morale will collapse, and it will be the time for our army to counterattack. ”
But when Lu Xun said this, he always felt that he seemed to be missing something.
Liu Bei raised troops because of anger, and stationed troops in the mountains and forests, committing a taboo in the soldiers. Lu Xun heard that Liu Xuande had a very tenacious personality, and after he made up his mind, he rarely changed it, and something must have happened that made him change his mind and move the camp to flat land, there is a great possibility that Zhuge Liang came to the army.
On the Shu Han side, only Zhuge Liang could persuade Liu Bei.
Tens of thousands of troops withdrew from the mountains and forests one after another, and began to camp on the flat land, facing Lu Xun's camp. After the camp was established, more than 10,000 barbarians of Ma Liang, Fu Tong and Shamoke began to climb over the mountains, bypassing this narrow mountain road, and preparing to enter Wuling County.
This kind of mountain road can only be crossed by the Wuling barbarians who have lived in the mountains and forests since childhood. It is impossible to let the main forces of the army pass.
It's late afternoon.
The sunset in the sky illuminates both sides of the river, reflecting the canyon with a faint fiery red. Yang Yun was fully armed, wearing armor, with a double-strand sword hanging from his waist, and stood on a hillside with Huang Zhong, Liao Hua and others, looking in the direction of Lu Xun's camp.
I saw that the camp of the Wu army was very tight, and a simple formation was formed between the various camp tents, blocking the exit of the canyon. Above the Wu military camp, Yang Yun could sense that there were more than a dozen powerful breaths in the camp through his powerful spiritual sense, soaring into the sky.
These breaths should be the generals of Soochow.
"Lu Xun is really not to be underestimated! If I can subdue this person, I will have absolute certainty of defeating Eastern Wu!" Yang Yun sighed slightly.
"Lu Xun is just a scholar, he just knows that he can't stick to it, he is extremely cowardly, why does Your Majesty value Lu Xun so much?"
Huang Zhong was a little dismissive of Lu Xun. I couldn't help but reply.
Yang Yun smiled faintly, Lu Xun was not powerful or not, only he knew that before he won the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun had almost no fame in the Central Plains, Bashu and other places in the Central Plains, except for some fame in Dongwu. This person was served as the governor of Eastern Wu by a scholar, and few people would be convinced.
"I remember that in the history books of the Three Kingdoms, only monarchs such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can be passed on independently, only Zhuge Liang of Shu Han and Lu Xun of Eastern Wu are exceptions!"
This means that in the eyes of others, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun are the pillars and representatives of the two countries of Shu and Wu.
Lu Xun was able to win the Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Shiting successively, which was enough to prove his military strategy.
Lu Xun is not a scholar in Huang Zhong's mouth. He thought to himself.
However, Yang Yun himself knows about this situation, and there is no need to say it now. If he can defeat Lu Xun's army, this governor of Eastern Wu may not have a reputation in the future.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
At this time, Wu Ban and Chen Shi came with a sailor, and the sailors of Shu Han originally gathered in Jingzhou, but after Jingzhou was lost, all the warships of the original sailors were plundered by Wu.
Now there are only more than 20 warships left on the Shu Han side, and the naval army is less than 10,000, which cannot be compared with the sailors of Eastern Wu.
The original Liu Bei also took this reason into account, so he would give up the advantage of going down the river and choose to attack by land. Build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
"Your Majesty, the sailor warship is ready!"
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao hurriedly came, their faces excited. The two of them joined the army this time in order to find an opportunity to kill Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, as well as Fan Jiang, Zhang Da and others, in order to avenge their father.
The mountain road has been blocked for more than half a year, and now it is finally time for the decisive battle, so the two of them are so excited.
"Now that Zhenbei General Huang Quan has led troops to respond, it's time to cross the river!"
Yang Yun did not hesitate, and immediately asked Huang Zhong to mobilize troops and horses to upload, and began to march towards the north bank of the Great River under the cover of the naval army.
When the warships of the Shu army moved, the Dongwu naval divisions downstream were also aware of it. Send some small boats to the test. However, these small boats went against the water, and were intercepted by the warships of the Shu army in front, and they couldn't see the scene behind at all.
When Lu Xun didn't know it, Yang Yun had already brought tens of thousands of elites to the north bank of the Great River. and Zhenbei General Huang Quan converged.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
When Yang Yun took Huang Zhong and Liao Hua and other generals to the north shore, more than a dozen generals were already waiting on the shore, and standing at the front was a man with gray sideburns and a very good temperament.
He is Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei who has a very high status in Shu Han. He is both civil and military, and he can sit on one side, which is very important to Liu Bei.
"Gongheng doesn't need to be polite! Have the troops ever gathered now?"
As soon as Yang Yun got off the boat, he began to get down to business.
During the military tent discussion, Yang Yun sent Guan Xing to the north shore and told the other party his plan. As soon as he arrived, he began to march in the direction of Linfu.
"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared the soldiers and horses, and he can go out at any time!" Huang Quan stood up and followed Yang Yun's side, reporting to him the various situations of the soldiers and horses in his hand.
"Well, in that case...... Han Sheng! I order you to be the vanguard, Guan Xing Zhang Bao to be the deputy general, lead 5,000 elite soldiers, and take the small city of Linfu first!"
Yang Yun ordered.
Huang Zhong showed joy on his face when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order. With him and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, three congenital-level generals, it is easy to take down a city that is not garrisoned by many troops.
When Yang Yun dispatched troops. A letter was passed along the waterway of the river to the west, and soon the letter was delivered to the city of Yidu (CD).
In the palace in the city, the officials of the Shu Han court were busy nervously, constantly calculating the amount of money and grain, and also benefiting the conscripts and servants recruited from all over the state.
"Prime Minister!
At this time, an official came to the main hall with a sealed letter, and whispered to the first person. At the top of the main hall, kneeling sat a handsome man.
He was holding a feather fan, a wide-sleeved robe, and a chic and elegant bearing. It's heartbreaking.
This person is naturally the prime minister of Shu Han, known as Zhuge Liang of Wolong.
He opened the letter, his eyes swept away, and when he saw Ma Liang mentioning in the letter that the army was camping in the mountains and forests, his face suddenly changed, and the feather fan that was shaking also stopped.
"Prime Minister, could it be that something happened to His Majesty's Eastern Expeditionary Army?"
A young man not far away saw Zhuge Liang's expression and couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Ji often wrote a letter, saying that His Majesty was trapped in the soldiers' tombs, and in order to escape the heat, he actually camped in the mountains and forests, which is a taboo for soldiers!"
Zhuge Liang sighed.
But as soon as he had finished saying this, he saw Maleonn's letter, saying that the army had recently moved to the flat land and camped according to His Majesty's orders. Then the troops were divided into four routes, preparing for a decisive battle with the Wu army.
Fearing that the plan would fail, Maleonn sent a letter here to ask for his opinion.
