Chapter 583: The Battle of Destroying Cao (45)

Fancheng.

Gan Ning received news that a Jiangdong warship had entered the country.

"After waiting for so long, there is finally an enemy..."

Without saying a word, he ordered 10,000 sailors and went to meet the battle.

Gan Ning's navy is full of steam engine warships, and they are surprisingly fast.

Soon encountered Lu Xun in Xiakou.

Seeing that there were tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops on the river, Gan Ning said to the generals next to him: "You go and shout, warn them, let them leave immediately, I can turn a blind eye, otherwise, the Jiangdong army will be ruined in this battle." ”

When it came to the end, Gan Ning still relented.

Although Sun Quan was ruthless to him, he could not be unjust.

"Also, tell Zhou Yu... I'll just let him go this once. I've repaid the favor. Gan Ning added.

"No."

The soldier went to shout.

When Lu Xun heard this, he replied very simply: "Please tell General Gan Ning that we have formed an alliance with General Yuan, and this trip is on the order of General Yuan to capture the two mouths of Sichuan Gorge." Also ask General Gan to give way. ”

"How is that possible..."

Gan Ning didn't believe it.

Lu Xun took a warship and sailed into Gan Ning's military formation alone. On the opposite side of Gan Ning, he said: "The Governor of Zhou Yu has been deposed by the lord, and now the Jiangdong Army is under the command of my Lu Xun..." ”

"Lu Xun, do you think I will believe you?" Gan Ning said: "The strict order given to me by the lord is to control the Neijiang River and not allow any ships to pass by. Not to mention your tens of thousands of troops, even if you are a fishing boat, you can't get by. ”

"General Gan..."

Lu Xun told Gan Ning about Yangzhou, and said very sincerely: "The lord gave Yangzhou to General Yuan, which is the sincerity of the alliance." If the general doesn't believe it, he can send a fast horse to Yangzhou to ask questions. ”

"Okay, your army will retreat a hundred miles, and after I ask, you will go again." Gan Ning Road.

"The soldiers are fast, I am in a hurry to pass through Jingzhou and capture the two mouths of the Sichuan Gorge, I really can't wait." Lu Xun said.

"In that case, you will defeat me first!" Gan Ning chuckled and said, "Lu Xun, I know that you are Sun Quan's newly promoted general, but I didn't expect you to be able to be the governor of the capital." It just so happens that I will test Sun Quan to see if you have talent. What do you think? Dare to fight? ”

If it was on land, Lu Xun would definitely compete with Gan Ning.

On the water, however, he had little chance of winning.

Lu Xun calmed the anger in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll retreat." After you have asked Yangzhou, then go to the gorge. ”

"Then you just wait."

Gan Ning never believed Lu Xun.

Let what he say fall into the sky, and he will not give way.

Lu Xun did not dare to engage the Hebei naval army, so he had to retreat.

"Grand Duke, let's go like this?" The veteran Huang Gai looked angry.

"Gan Ning is good at fighting water battles, and the Hebei Navy under his command is extremely fast, and it is definitely not something that our Navy can resist. If there is a fight, our army will be in danger. Lu Xun gritted his teeth and said, "It's better not to fight." ”

"Ugh...."

The generals were sighing.

"Let's go, retreat a hundred miles first, and then make a plan." Lu Xun ordered. All the ships turned around and retreated to Xiling.

Xiling is located in the northeast of Jingzhou and is an important town in and out of the Neijiang River.

Arrive at Xiling.

Lu Xun still couldn't swallow that breath.

Since he commanded the army, he has not fought a single battle, and many generals in the army are not convinced. And now he was even more frightened by Gan Ning, and tens of thousands of troops returned to Xiling by the same route.

It was a blow to him.

It was also a weakening of his authority.

"If this continues, something will happen sooner or later..." Lu Xun wrote a letter and sent someone to Jianye.

After Sun Quan received the letter, he discussed with Lu Su: "Lu Xun said that between Jiangdong and Yizhou, Jingzhou is separated. If Jingzhou can be captured and Cao Cao's troops can be integrated, they will be able to compete with Yuan Xi. In addition, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiangdong can also be connected in a line, which is convenient for defense and resistance. ”

"There are more than 100,000 Cao troops in Jingzhou, all of whom are elite. Can Lu Xun capture it? Lu Su shook his head. So far, Lu Xun has not shown much outstanding talent, nor has he fought a big battle. Attacking Jingzhou is really dangerous.

"My lord, if the prince is leading the troops, there is still a glimmer of hope." Lu Su said.

"Don't mention Zhou Yu, I won't let him lead the troops again!" Sun Quan said.

"But... Can Lu Xun take Jingzhou? ”

Sun Quan got up and said with a smile: "Zijing, you are too underestimated by Lu Xun." In my opinion, although he has not led troops into battle, his talent is by no means worse than Zhou Yu. He is more of a villager, absolutely loyal to me, steady and never takes risks. But Zhou Yu is good at surprise soldiers, you must know that our Jiangdong troops are weak and cannot withstand losses.... ”

"Therefore, I prefer to give the military power to Lu Xun, and I also believe that he can make contributions."

Lu Su said: "Is the lord ready to agree to Lu Xun?" ”

"Hmm. Capture Jingzhou first, incorporate Cao Cao's troops, and then take Yizhou! Sun Quan wrote an order and handed it to Lu Su: "Send someone to Lu Xun." ”

"Yes."

Lu Su responded.

........

Sun Quan's order was sent to Xiling three days later.

Lu Xun was overjoyed when he received the order.

"The lord finally agreed..." Lu Xun summoned all the generals and said excitedly: "Generals, the lord has changed his previous strategy and wants us to capture Jingzhou. I ordered the whole army to rest for a day, and then go to Gangjindu and make a surprise attack on Gangneung. ”

"Yes..."

Although everyone still didn't believe in Lu Xun's talent, how could Sun Quan appoint Lu Xun as the governor, they could only obey orders.

Lu Xun's army left Xiling and headed for Jiangjindu.

Jiangjindu is the gateway to Jingnan, and it is also not far from Jiangling.

Lu Xun captured Jiangjindu with absolute superiority, feigned to attack Jingnan, and actually dispatched elites to attack Jiangling, making a contribution in one fell swoop. All of the 15,000 Cao troops in Gangneung were captured by him.

Xu Huang, who was stationed in Xiangyang, received the news and hurriedly mobilized 100,000 elites to rush to Jiangling to prepare for a big battle against Lu Xun.

A new round of competition for Jingzhou has also begun.

Xuchang.

South City.

Cao Cao saw that the food was exhausted, and he led the troops in the city and rushed towards the western city.

Outside the west city, there were 50,000 elites of Zhang Liao, as well as Liu Bei's 20,000 soldiers, led by Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng. A total of 70,000 horses.

Cao Cao rushed out of the city and successfully rendezvoused with Zhang Liao.

Not only did they get a lot of food, but they also greatly increased their troops, with 140,000 troops. This is more than double the number of troops of Hao Zhao, who is stationed in Dongcheng.

Cao Cao wanted to eliminate Hao Zhao, and he was ashamed.

But after he joined Zhang Liao.

Hao Zhao captured the city of Xuchang, refused to defend the city, and confronted Cao.

"Prime Minister, Yuan Xi is rushing towards Xuchang, let's go back to Guanzhong first." Sima Yi said.

"Okay..."

The blockade of these days made Cao Cao tremble, and he no longer had the confidence to fight Yuan Xi.

In particular, Jia Xu surrendered to Yuan Xi, which made Cao Cao's heart ache.

"Zhongda."

"Yes."

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said, "You won't be like Jia Xu and take refuge in Yuan Xi, right?" ”

"No, I won't."

"That's good..." Cao Cao barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
