Since the preparation of the Wei army's battle to destroy Wu, there has been a complete strategy and tactics.

Strategy and tactics have long been not the center of the discussion, but the center of the discussion is how to better implement it.

Although Tai Shici's navy was the main force to break through in this battle, the Wei army also needed to make enough offensive posture along the river to clamp down on the main force of the Wu army, so that Zhou Yu had no time to take care of anything else, after all, the main force was going to cross the river after all.

Zhang Liao will take a surprise attack on the rear of Wu County with Tai Shi Ci by boat, he will be the main general, Tai Shi Ci will be his deputy, and Zhang Liao will personally lead the army to complete this surprise attack.

Such a large-scale landing operation, which was separated from nearly 200 years, to be honest, Zhang Liao did not want to miss it at all.

On the frontal battlefield, the deputy marshal Yu Ban was the main general, stationed in Liyang, Jiujiang County, storming the quarry, and taking Shicheng as the main breakthrough.

Xu Huang, the general of Hengjiang, led his army to confront the Wu army on the opposite bank in the area of Xiang'an County, Lujiang County, with Wuhu County as the main breakthrough.

In Guangling County, Zang Ba, the Taishou of Guangling County, led the army to garrison Guangling County and confronted the Wu army, with Dantu County as the main breakthrough.

The three armies have their own focuses, and Xu Huang and Zang Ba have to obey Yu Ban's command, and Guo Jia assists from the side.

When the time comes, the troops will march together in three directions and fight fiercely with the local garrison Wu army, start this battle, and clamp down on Zhou Yu's main force and attention.

At the same time, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici took a boat together, leading another elite to go around the sea in a circle and then successfully land in Wu County.

Zhang Liao personally operated the knife and stabbed Wu Jun in the gut.

The Wei army's war preparations were in place and could attack at any time.

More than 70,000 Wei soldiers were eyeing Jiangdong, sharpening their knives, waiting for an order from the commander Zhang Liao.

To tell the truth, the war of fighting more and fighting less was never the mainstream for the Wei army, and even before the year of Jian'an, it often encountered wars of fighting more with less.

Or because Guo Peng has a large jurisdiction and few troops, and sometimes he is unable to do his best, and he faces a country unilaterally, unlike them who can concentrate all their strength, so the situation of fighting more with less happens from time to time.

However, around the time of Jian'an, Guo Peng vigorously expanded the army, gradually expanding the entire size of the Wei army from 300,000 to 400,000, increasing the number of troops in the northwest, the Central Plains and the southeast, and enhancing their combat effectiveness.

Moreover, at the same time as the battle of Guanzhong in the west, the three major princes of Jiangnan also died separately, losing troops and losing generals, and their military strength declined, so the Wei army gradually gained the upper hand in terms of troops.

The crushing situation in national strength was formed, and the three princes joined forces and resisted Guo's attack wholeheartedly, and they were no longer Guo's opponents.

In this battle, Zhang Liao claimed to have an army of 200,000 troops, and he was edicted by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to pacify the rebellion of Wu.

And Zhou Yu is known as an army of 150,000 to defend the Han family and eliminate the Han thieves.

However, even if it is claimed, Wu Jun is no match for Wei Jun.

No matter how much Zhou Yu claims, he will not be able to turn an army of more than 40,000 and less than 50,000 into 300,000.

With a large area, a large population, and rapid construction and restoration, the situation of Guo Wei crushing Jiangnan will appear sooner or later.

And once it appears, it is irreversible, which is the meaning of the times.

After all, the population of the land south of the Yangtze River cannot be compared with the Central Plains, after all, it is not the mainstream of development, and they have no spare energy to develop.

If it weren't for Guo's coercion, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao would not have thought of heading south at all, and they would not have developed the south at all.

Now, Liu Biao has moved his station south to Jiangling, just by the river.

Once the situation changed, Liu Biao would inevitably flee across the river by boat, which he was prepared for, and he even prepared enough boats by the river to leave Jiangling with him and his family business.

Liu Biao has prepared like this, and the Jingzhou forces that others have not been eye-to-eye with Guo Peng are naturally also prepared, and everyone has points in their hearts, knowing what the situation is on their side, once Guo Peng attacks, can they hold it, and so on.

Of course, it is more of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's party, and Guo Peng's eyebrows.

They want Guo Peng to come.

Liu Biao absolutely didn't want it, but Guo Peng wanted to come, and he couldn't help it, so he had to send troops to the south to open up living space.

If it was still a few decades ago, when Jingzhou's population was six or seven million, Liu Biao didn't have to worry so much at all.

But since Emperor Shun, the entire south has been plagued year after year, six or seven major plagues, and small plagues have occurred year after year, and they have not stopped, so that the population of Jingzhou has decreased sharply.

For example, the family of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, more than 300 people, because of the plague killed and injured two-thirds, it can be seen that the plague hit the population of Jingzhou.

The Yellow Turban Army was not a big threat to Jingzhou, at least not as big as in the north.

If the population decline in the north was caused by war, then in the south it was due to the plague in relative peace.

When Guo first governed the two states of Qingyan, he couldn't find a cure, so he used the isolation method and the cremation method to limit the plague.

He used the coercive power of the army to establish a local rapid response mechanism for the plague, and sent it to every village and township for intensive study and drills, although it was somewhat inhumane, but this effectively limited the spread of the plague and protected more people.

The people of Jingzhou are not so lucky.

Many major plagues have caused heavy losses to the population of Jingzhou, and when Liu Biao took over Jingzhou, Jingzhou was no longer the most populous state it was back then.

In particular, the four counties of Jingnan have suffered heavy population losses, and Changsha County and Lingling County, which once had a population of one million, have lost nearly two-thirds of their population due to the plague, and they are no longer as large as they used to be.

Liu Biao wants to rely on these [www.boquge.xyz] places to open up living space, as well as crusade against barbarians and the like, it is not easy, and there is also local strong resistance.

Like Liu Biao, Liu Zhang also faced such a situation, the number of barbarians in Nanzhong was large, the power was large, and the combat effectiveness was also quite strong.

Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and other generals sent by Liu Zhang to crusade against the barbarians in Nanzhong together, the progress was not smooth, but rather slow.

After the Battle of Hanzhong, in more than a year, Wu Yi and Wu Ban jointly launched three attacks on Nanzhong, and only plundered more than 20,000 people in total, but also paid for the death of more than 2,000 soldiers and lost a lot of supplies.

There are definitely benefits, but not so much.

This gave Liu Zhang a headache.

Liu Biao and Liu Zhang had no time to look north in order to open up the south, so of course they were not so concerned about the support of the Sun Wu regime.

Despite this, Zhou Yu will not rest on his laurels, but actively prepare and defend actively.

On the Wu army's side, Zhou Yu took Sun Quan to sit in Moling together, leading 10,000 elite soldiers in Moling, as a strategic general reserve, to support the major battlefields at any time.

In order to cope with the three routes of the Wei army, Wu County also set up three defensive positions.

The veteran general Huang Gai led the army to defend Wuhu County and confronted the Wei general Xu Huang's front army.

Sun Jing, the general of the clan, led his army to defend Shicheng, and with Han Dang as the auxiliary, he confronted Wei General's forbidden front army head-on.

Wu Jing, the general of the clan, led his army to defend Dantu County and confronted the army of Wei general Zang Ba head-on.

The Wei army attacked in three directions, the Wu army resisted in three directions, and throughout June, the two sides faced off along the river, and there was no war, but the clouds of war had long been made up.

Zhou Yu was in Moling, calmly dispatched troops, exhausted the population that the Sun Wu regime could control, and constantly increased the number of auxiliaries and civilian men that could be used.

Not only that, but he also urgently expanded the army, issued weapons and armor to the strong men, and integrated them into the army and sent them to Moling for intensive training.

He thought that if he was not quick to sharpen his guns, how could he toss out more troops for backup, because he knew that the Wei army was more numerous than the Wu army, and he had to expand the army no matter what.
