Chapter 6 Eastward Advance to Huaiyin

Yangzhou now has 400,000 elite soldiers, 300,000 naval troops, 1.2 million county soldiers from all over the country, and all soldiers and horses add up to 1.9 million. Sounds terrifying.

However, this world is different from Gao Cheng's original world, both in terms of geography and population, far exceeding, at the beginning of the battle of Changshe, the Yellow Turbans gathered more than a million troops. Not to mention the Battle of Guangzong in Jizhou, the officers and soldiers and the Yellow Turbans each sent almost two million men and horses.

Therefore, 1.9 million horses seem to be a lot, and they are inconspicuous when they are scattered all over the six counties, and they are even somewhat dwarfed. In addition to the county soldiers from all over the six counties, most of the 400,000 elite soldiers gathered in Ruyin to confront Yuan Shu, and the Chaisang battalion had 200,000 sailors and 100,000 elite soldiers.

The 200,000 soldiers in front of Gao Cheng were just ordinary county soldiers two or three years ago, and it was Wu Anguo's continuous training that made this army stronger and stronger, so that the Xuzhou army could not take the next step south.

"What an elite! General Wu An's ability to train troops is really rare!" Xi Zhicai and Lu Su followed behind, and when they saw the scene in front of them, the two of them showed admiration, and Xi Zhicai also unabashedly praised Wu Anguo.

Wu Anguo is worthy of being a descendant of Bai Qi, although he was defeated in the battle with Lu Bu, even one of his arms was cut off, and his strength was weakened by a small half. But he was not discouraged, and constantly studied the military book to train the battle formation, stood out from the many generals in Yangzhou, and became a general sitting on one side.

Xi Zhicai's strategies often deviate from the sword, but he himself admires this kind of steady, conscientious, and conscientious general who never exceeds his duty. Because the more dangerous strategies often require such people to carry out.

If you let a person with an anxious personality carry out a dangerous plan. In the middle of the process, the person who implements the plan will often change the plan due to his own subjective ideas, and eventually the plan will fail or slide to an unpredictable point.

Gao Cheng heard Xi Zhicai's admiration, and couldn't help laughing, Wu Anguo was seriously injured outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and even Kong Rong didn't have hope for him, if he didn't shoot himself, this general couldn't even save his life, how could he still have today's demeanor?

"General Wu'an is indeed good, Kong Beihai heard the news of General Wu'an, I don't know if he will regret the decision he made at the beginning?" Gao Cheng said with a smile, casually teasing Kong Rong.

I heard that there was a great drought in Qingzhou, and the rest of the Yellow Turbans were resurrected, and they were attacking Donglai and Beihai, and the Confucian family has been inherited for thousands of years, but unfortunately there are not many talents in Kong Beihai's generation! Kong Beihai is weak, and after leaving General Wu'an, there are no generals under his command, so he can only go into battle in person!"

Gao Cheng laughed, turned his head to Lu Su and asked: "Zijing, last time I heard the news that Liu Xuande went to Gongsun Zan and was named Yuyang Taishou, what is his action now?"

Lu Su as a soldier in Yangzhou, the most contact every day is the military intelligence of all parts of the world, he knows a lot about Liu Bei, heard the inquiry, immediately replied respectfully: "Envoy Jun, Liu Xuande at this time to garrison the army Zhang Wu threatened Bohai, and Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Guo Tu are fighting, each has a victory or defeat. In addition, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are fighting against Jieqiao and are fighting for Jizhou!"

After the last Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei shined, and the three brothers became famous, but unfortunately they had a reputation, but they had no place to stand, so they could only take refuge in Gongsun Zhan.

After the dissolution of the alliance of princes, the princes from all walks of life began to send troops in order to develop their forces, and Han Fu of Jizhou became the target of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes' alliance, and there is a strong background of the Yuan clan in Runan, Gongsun Zhan in order to fight against the Yuan clan, the three brothers of Liu Bei are quite important, and also appointed Liu Bei as the Taishou of Yuyang, and went south to Jizhou to attack Yuan Shao's hometown Bohai County.

Liu Bei got the Chixiao Sword, an artifact inherited from the Han Dynasty, and two top generals followed him, which greatly increased Yan Liang's pressure and almost broke through the Bohai Sea. It even led to the Yuan clan's artifact, Emperor Shun's chariot.

Now the battle between the two sides has not yet been decided...... , Lu Su slowly told this information, Gao Cheng nodded, Liu Bei became the Taishou of Yuyang, and finally had a piece of territory, if Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao in the future, he might be able to benefit from it.

Now the two forces in Youzhou are Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, one is his senior brother, and the other is the Han clan. Liu Bei and both of them can get involved in the relationship, and they have the basis to inherit the inheritance of the two. Of course, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan are not in harmony, and Liu Bei wants to see the two of them left and right, and it depends on his own means.

"Are you fighting against Yan Liang? In this way, Kong Rong is besieged by the yellow scarf, and Liu Bei is also unable to rescue him!"

Gao Cheng thought to himself in his heart, his eyes moved slightly, such as today's situation and the situation in his memory, the difference is constantly getting bigger, and it has changed beyond recognition.

Rumble!

At this time, the warship arrived at the riverbank, some sailors came out of the cabin, carried the sampan and connected to the shore, Gao Cheng took Xi Zhicai, Lu Su and Zhou Cang, who was guarding him, and the 50,000 elite soldiers on the ship also came down to line up.

"The last general will meet the lord!" Wu Anguo walked quickly with a young man and bowed respectfully. The young man beside him was eight feet tall and heroic, and he still had two mustaches on the side of his mouth, which made him look much more mature. There was a faint Gang Qi around him, and he was also a martial general who had reached the second-order Gang Refining Realm.

"General Wu'an doesn't have to be polite! get up!" Gao Cheng said. His gaze swept over this young man, he was Dong Xian, who had taken refuge in him two years ago. This person was known as one of the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu in Gao Cheng's original world, and he was also a general. At its peak, the military force was close to the first-class in the entire Three Kingdoms world.

After Wu Anguo got up, he bowed his hands slightly with Xi Zhicai and Lu Su, and behaved very modestly.

Gao Cheng led everyone to the high place, the flags below were like forests, and the blood was like the abyssal sea, when the 200,000 troops formed a simple array, a faint military aura was formed in the void.

"Okay! There is such an elite, why not be afraid of Xuzhou soldiers and horses!" Gao Cheng was happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed.

Wu Anguo had already received the message beforehand, and knew the purpose of Gao Cheng's trip, so he hurriedly said: "The lord has won the award, and his subordinates are ashamed, and they have been guarding Zhongli for more than a year, but they can't completely defeat the Xuzhou army on the opposite side. ”

When Gao Cheng was inspecting the army, several small boats appeared on the river, like scouts, swimming on the water, wanting to observe the movements of the Yangzhou army.

Gao Cheng's eyes were faint, he glanced at these small boats and ignored them, and the riverside water village soon discovered the small boats, and immediately sent more than a dozen flexible small boats to besiege and drive them away.

Long arrows shuttled on the river, and after a battle, several small boats of the Xuzhou army were caught up and sunk most of them. The remaining two boats rushed back desperately.

Gao Cheng, Xi Zhicai, Lu Su and Wu Anguo are all strong men, deaf and clear-sighted, and they saw this scene.

"Hehe, the Xuzhou Navy Division is not well armoured and lacks a general, so it is impossible to cross the river and threaten our army! Lord, in my opinion, it is better to leave a naval army in Zhongli to defend the opposite bank, and then the army will go down the river, go straight to Huaiyin, and then enter Baima Lake and Gaoyou Lake. Attack Guangling County! Let Zhao Yu not be able to take care of both the north and the south!" said Xi Zhicai.

Lu Su nodded slightly, ignoring the Xuzhou army on the opposite side, and it was a bit risky to attack Huaiyin directly along the east of the river, but the Yangzhou Navy Army had been established for many years, and it was known as the Jingzhou Navy in the world, which was enough to block the river and make it difficult for the Xuzhou army to cross the Huai River.

There are no elite soldiers and strong generals under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and the naval army is not worth mentioning. So Xi Zhicai's plan sounds risky, but it's actually very safe.
