Jiangxia County.

The battle has been raging for many days, and with the mutual checks and balances of the three sides, the war has been in a stalemate.

At this time, the Jingzhou army took the lead in making moves, and the naval army led by Chen Shi and Fu Wei secretly traveled to and from the tributaries of the Huai River and the Huai River around Xiangyang and Yiyang for several days.

After several days of preparation, the elite of more than 10,000 foot cavalry selected by Guan Ping finally landed in Yiyang under the secret leadership of the navy, and then quickly marched all the way to the mountainous area of Runan Pingyu.

Along the way, the Han army was taken by surprise but instead caught the Wei army off guard.

The places along the way were empty due to the transfer of troops to Jiangxia, so how could they stop the wolf-like Jingzhou army?

Merely.

This is also what Guan Ping did on purpose!

The purpose of his northward march into Runan this time was to confuse the situation in the Central Plains, completely destroy Cao Wei's stable rear base, and make progress in the battle situation of his own army on the front line.

Momentum...... Naturally, bigger is better.

The logistics were also prepared, stationed in Xiangyang and then transported by the navy along the tributary rivers.

On the march.

Guan Ping held the horsewhip in his hand, hung a saber at his waist, and looked at the high mountains looming in the distance, the mountains were undulating, his mood changed slightly for a while, and after a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask: "Liu Jia, you have been active in the Runan area, in the past, when you evaded the pursuit of the Wei army, where did you usually hide from the foundation?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Jia revealed a confident look on his face, and then responded in a deep voice: "Major General Qiyu, the Purple Mountain and Mangshan Mountain in the northeast of Pingyu are considered to be the activities of the Tun army, which is the most suitable boundary for our army at present. ”

Speaking of this, his tone became more and more serious: "The mountain road between these two mountains is not only dangerous and the same height, but you can rely on the danger to defend it, and you can also cross from the deep mountain road to another mountain at any time, so that you can effectively avoid the Wei army from surrounding the mountain." ”

"Secondly, the most important reason is also because there is a flat and open land in the depths between these two mountains, which is very suitable for a large-scale corps cantonment army.

For a while, Liu Jia also became more and more confident the more he spoke.

Regarding the matter of dealing with Cao Wei, he can be said to have the most right to speak.

Since Liu Bei was defeated in Jingzhou that year, and his brother Liu Pi died in battle, he gathered his old troops and moved around the mountains with the Wei official army for more than ten years.

He can rely on the rolling mountains to maneuver around with a weak army, and now that the Han army is stronger, and the main general Guan Ping's overall planning ability is also extremely strong, he naturally intends to do so.

At the end of the words, Liu Jia muttered in a low voice: "But the young general, there are also disadvantages to being in the mountains, and it has been active here for many years because of the encirclement and suppression of the Wei army for many years and the lack of food and clothing, and the team rate has not been able to develop and grow, so he will lead the people to move to the junction of Bishui and Rushui to be a water thief who robbed rich merchants." ”

"As long as the major general can keep the logistics safe, then these two mountains are extremely suitable places to deal with the Wei army."

After a while, Liu Jia slowly explained the advantages and disadvantages of being stationed between the two mountains.

In a word.

Guan Ping dragged his chin, groaned for a long time, couldn't help but look back at Liu Feng who was marching behind him, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. thinks of this move?" ”

After the words fell, Liu Feng smiled slightly, and muttered: "This is also feasible, after all, our army has the convenience of the water army, and the Wei army has no big way to transport military supplies through the tributaries of rivers everywhere." ”

"In addition, in the past few years, the young general, you have recruited a lot of skilled craftsmen to develop a car and ship, and the sailing speed of this ship is more than twice as fast as that of fighting ships, ships and even building ships, etc., and the naval army is responsible for ensuring the grain route, and the Wei army may not have the opportunity to react, and our army has already received military supplies."

There is no doubt that Liu Feng thought about it and agreed to this plan.

The earliest record of the advent of chariots and ships was in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, they were widely developed, and finally the chariots and boats were flourishing in the Great Song Dynasty and were widely used in the military.

During the three years of recuperation, the car and ship were also a new type of warship developed by Guan Ping by recruiting skilled craftsmen day and night.

At present, almost all warships are mainly pulp and sail with the help of wind power, and if they are against the wind or against the current, they are naturally at a disadvantage.

This is also why Jingzhou will occupy a great advantage when it goes east into the land of Wuyue.

Merely.

The development of the vehicle and ship is not too difficult, and in terms of the current scientific and technological conditions, it is mainly for the current warships to make some improvements, installing wheels on the bottom of the ship, and then replacing the natural wind power of the pulp with human foot power.

In this way, a vehicle or ship traveling on wheels will naturally travel faster than a sailing ship.

And that's not all.

Guan Ping also specially expanded the space for the installation of trebuchets on the ship, and hid dozens of thunderbolts between the ships for emergencies.

Generally, most sailing ships are equipped with arrow stacks, and the two ships are mainly connected by bows and arrows, and the two sides shoot at each other on the river.

But if you bombard it with a thunderbolt at this time, wouldn't you be able to easily crush the enemy army?

This is also Guan Ping's initial improvement of the warship, and as for the follow-up higher technology, it still needs to be worked hard by the craftsmen.

……

With Liu Feng's words firming up his confidence, Guan Ping already had a slight plan in his heart at this time.

Subsequently, he immediately ordered all his troops to move closer to the two mountains and build a defensive line to resist the Wei army's dispatch of troops to join the siege after receiving the news.

He even frequently sent Liu Jia, Zhou Cang and others to lead his headquarters down the mountain to raid the counties and counties to loot the treasury to replenish military funds, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting the war with war.

In just over ten days.

Under the rule of Wei, Runan, Yingchuan, Jiujiang and other places suffered one after another, and were harassed by the Han army, but they were helpless due to the lack of military strength!

The sealed battle report had to be sent to the Xuchang Che Cavalry General's Mansion and Cao Ren's Mansion one by one.

When Cao Ren saw that the battle reports from all over the country said that Guan Ping had led more than 10,000 people deep into his hinterland, he couldn't help but be shocked.

After investigating the situation clearly, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly wrote to the Son of Heaven to clarify the truth, and he also began to quickly gather the forces of Yan, Henan, Xu and other Central Plains states, preparing to encircle and suppress the in-depth Han army.

……

Luoyang.

Royal Palace, side hall.

At this moment, Cao Pi, the Son of Heaven, is sitting on top of the Ming Hall, and below is sitting on the left and right on Situ Huaxin, Liu Ye, Dong Zhao, Sima Yi and others.

After a while, Cao Pi looked around at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice: "Zhu Aiqing, you and others are all my cronies, and I just told the late Jia Taiwei's last words, and now the situation has suddenly become clear, and the Han army has conquered Linjing and marched to Yongzhou non-stop with the consequences, trying to occupy the western part of our Great Wei in one fell swoop." ”

"This way is all expected in the last letter of Taiwei, Qing and others are all good at governing the world, I don't know if now is the time to implement Taiwei Jia's plan?"

After the words fell, Liu Ye pondered for a moment before he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, according to General Zhengxi's report, the main force of the Han army has converged with Zhang Fei's division in the direction of Wuzhangyuan, and General Zhengxi has already confronted Huaili, Wugong and other places. ”

"And Wei Yan's troops have gradually gained a firm foothold in the Hedong regions, Ye thinks that if he wants to successfully implement Jia Taiwei's strategy, it is necessary to drag Wei Yan's troops to prevent them from crossing the river to support or threaten the safety of Chang'an and other places from the direction of Pubanjin."

"Otherwise, this army is very easy to become a variable, which will have an impact on our army's great setback to the main force of the Shu army."

After the words fell, Dong Zhao next to him couldn't help but say: "What Ziyang said is extremely true!" Zhao thought that when our army launched a general offensive, it could wait for Zhang He and Guo Huai to arrive at the corresponding positions before marching. ”

"In this way, our army will be able to occupy the geographical advantages of Guanzhong and fight with the Shu people."

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi added: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, you can send the general who garrisoned Yecheng to lead the elite into Jinyang, so that it will definitely be able to deter Wei Yan's troops from acting rashly and make the situation in Guanzhong favorable to us." ”

"And the elite of the forbidden army stationed in Luoyang at this time can also be secretly transported to Chang'an in batches in disguise to wait, so as to attack the Shu people by surprise."

"In this way, in this battle of Yongzhou, my Great Wei will win!"

For a while, with the words of several cronies and advisers, they also made corresponding additions to the last policy left by Jia Xu before his death, according to the situation.

……

Chengdu.

Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the group headed by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has recruited various ministries to start raising military supplies such as grain, grass, ordnance, etc., and has continuously transported grain and grass through various dangerous mountain roads with grain transportation artifacts, wooden oxen and horses, so as to ensure that the main force has sufficient grain and straw.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was frowning because of a letter from the front line.
