Chapter 1028: Competing Battles (Part 2)

General Lian Po didn't know that the news of his arrival alone had already put so much pressure on the people of Chu, and even made the city of Yingdu almost half empty.

But in fact, the general didn't care about this matter at all, after all, for General Lian Po, conquering Yingdu and destroying Li Yuan was the ultimate goal.

Of course, for this purpose, General Lian Po is also paying attention to another matter.

"Where's Pang Xuan?" General Lian Po's beard is automatic in the wind, and his weather-beaten old face is full of resolute expression, and the whole person is not angry and self-imposing, like a tiger that is a little old, but can still shock the mountains and forests.

In fact, it is not that no one doubts whether Lian Po, who is now in his sixties, can still lead the army to fight, but the hot-tempered old general obviously can't stand this kind of questioning that seems to him to be an insult, not only beat the questioning courtiers on the spot, but also demonstrated his martial arts in front of everyone, and even overturned three of Zhao Dan's personal guards in the main hall with one enemy and three defeats.

This incident made Zhao Dan happy on the spot, and even exclaimed in public: "Look at the widow, General Lian Po can fight for at least another ten years!" ”

An old general like this is actually quite difficult to measure by the standards of ordinary people.

Standing next to Lian Po was his old partner Le Cheng, who replied: "According to the distance calculation, General Pang Xuan's troops should have arrived in Zhongli, and it is estimated that they will cross the Huai River in two days." ”

The corners of Lian Po's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I have actually increased my speed along the way, since Pang Xuan wants to wrestle with me, how can he march at a normal speed?" If I'm not mistaken, he should have crossed the Huaishui by now. ”

Le Cheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I heard that the three major families have set up a defense line on the Yangtze River, and if General Pang Xuan wants to attack Wucheng, he will have to waste some time." As long as our army crosses the Han River this time, the road to Yingdu will be unimpeded. In this case, time is definitely enough. ”

Lian Po thought about it and laughed very happily: "Not bad." Well, the order goes, and the whole army speeds up to cross the river and camp on the other side of the river! ”

I have to say that as a general, Lian Po's judgment is indeed quite keen, just when he led the army under his command to cross the Han River, Pang Xuan and Ju Xin, the two old partners, also led another Zhao army to cross the Huaishui in the east thousands of miles away, and were marching towards the Yangtze River non-stop.

"Wu Dingjun, if you look at the current distance, our army doesn't seem to take advantage. After all, Yingdu does not have the Yangtze River as a barrier. The gray-haired drama Xin looked a little haggard, and his body kept rising and falling with the movement of the horse's back, and it was clear that the long military career still had a great impact on the veteran.

After all, not everyone is Lian Po, and in terms of age, Ju Xin is even older than Lian Po.

Pang Xuan, who was also full of white hair, glanced at his friends and sighed: "Drama Qing, why do you bother? In fact, you just need to sit in Handan peacefully, wouldn't it be good to be your logistics director? ”

Ji Xin smiled and said, "Wu Dingjun, I don't like to hear this sentence." I think I was also the Yaqing of Yan State back then, and I came to Zhao State to work hard for ten years, but now I can't go up or down, and I am always a little bit away from the position of the king, can you be willing to change you? It's not that you can fight before you die, maybe you can find a way out for future generations. ”

Pang Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You, you, always have such a tone. Actually, I already knew your character, in fact, you are so competitive that you refuse to fall behind me in everything, right? ”

Ju Xin smiled: "Those who know me, Wu Dingjun also!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the hot-blooded age of cherishing each other when they were young.

After a moment, the laughter stopped.

Pang Xuan looked at the drama Xin in front of him with blazing eyes: "Since this is the case, then I can't say that this time I have to try to win the first merit from the hands of the general for the sake of the drama qing!" ”

Ju Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I don't know very well now, how to break through the Yangtze River defense line of the three major families. ”

Pang Xuan smiled, ordered a military map to be brought from the left and right, and temporarily found a place on the side of the road to stop, and began to point out the country with Ji Xin.

This map is the detailed map of the eastern battlefield on Pang Xuan's side in the Zhao State's invasion of Chu this time.

Since Zhao has occupied this area for a long time, the accuracy of this map is still very high.

Pang Xuan pointed to the map and said to Ji Xin: "Look at Ji Qingru, judging from the defense line occupied by the three major families now, the river basin along the Yangtze River that they need to defend is thousands of miles long. According to the previous report, the three major families now have about 60,000 to 70,000 troops in their hands, which is obviously not enough to support them to fully spread out the defense. ”

Ju Xin thought for a while and said: "But Wuding Junru don't forget, there are only so many ferries on the Yangtze River, and there are even fewer ferries that can allow the army to pass, they only need to focus their troops on those ferries that can pass through the army, and it is enough to think about it." ”

Pang Xuan smiled silently, and then pointed his finger at one of the places on the map: "Juqing, this time I am going to lead the army to camp in Liyang, and then cross the river from Liyang and take the cities of Moling and Danyang, what do you think?" ”

Ju Xin tilted his head and looked at it for a while, and said, "If you can cross the river, then what Wu Dingjun said will naturally not be a problem." However, how is Wu Dingjun going to cross the river? ”

Pang Xuan smiled and said suddenly: "Juqing should know that there is a naval army in our army, right?" ”

Ji Xin nodded and said, "This is naturally known." ”

As a landlocked country, Zhao originally had no naval army.

However, after the destruction of the Wei State, the original Wei State Navy was absorbed by the Zhao State.

Don't look at the fact that Wei is located in the Central Plains, but because Wei's water network extends in all directions, and it can even reach the Yangtze River from Daliang, the size of Wei's naval army and the number of ships are not small.

Since Lian Po didn't need a navy, this time this navy was also dispatched south, and with Pang Xuan's army fighting, Ji Xin, as Pang Xuan's lieutenant general, was of course aware of this.

But the state of Chu has occupied the land of Wuyue for so long, and it is not necessary to think about it to know that there must also be a naval army, and the naval army on the side of the state of Chu occupies a favorable position, and the naval army of the state of Zhao fights in the relatively gentle water network of the Central Plains on weekdays, and it is difficult to predict the results of the battle in a surging river like the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because of these circumstances that Ju Xin feels that crossing the Yangtze River is the most difficult problem.

Facing Ji Xin's doubts, Pang Xuan smiled mysteriously, and suddenly whispered to Ji Xin: "Actually, our army does not only have this water army. ”
