Chapter 590: Eastern Wu is defeated
After the cold winter, the temperature begins to warm up in February, and if you are in Yunnan, you can basically run out shirtless at this time.
After all, Liu Yi's plan to travel was a few days late because of Lu Lingqi, and his wife's mood fluctuated greatly, at this time, Liu Yi was not easy to travel, and it was not bad for these two days, not to mention that the track of the Hetao spread to this side with the farm plan, and the laying work has been carried out from one team at the beginning to five now, and Liu Yi even saved some money for the construction of the city to lay the track.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
No matter how inefficient this track is in the future, how troublesome it will be to replace the rails in the future, this is not even a problem to consider now, the problem now is to solve the current transportation problem, to reach the limit of the world, the transition from wooden rails to rails is not only to make rails, but also to ensure the safety of rails.
The previous bill for wooden rails may not work on the rails, after all, wood is such a thing, ordinary people take it as firewood, and it is certainly not worth risking their lives for this, but the rails are different, not to mention ordinary people, families have to be tempted.
The carriage walked on the spacious Hetao Plain, the earth has appeared a little green, the farms in the line of sight appeared and then disappeared, and then appeared, not too dense farms but were about to cover the entire Hetao Plain, last winter, the resource planning and land measurement of the Shaofu has not stopped, the whole Hetao has not a few decent cities, basically such farms, so the work is not heavy but very cumbersome, put a lot of people to measure.
Liu Cheng has already taken the first step to Lingju to report, after the beginning of spring, Zhao Yun has a big move, he wants to take advantage of the Qiang people to be tired, to carry out a wave of big moves, to the east of Linqiang all the areas under control, to the north also want to reintegrate Zhangye's territory, fill the population of Xiliang, the track can also be laid in the past, so that Dunhuang and Jiuquan can be reclaimed plan.
Although he is already old, Zhao Yun's ambition is obviously not small, and with Ma Jian planning on the side, this game of chess is very big.
However, whether it is Liu Yi who spent a month building the God of War Shrine here, or Zhao Yun who is in full swing over there to prepare for further adding Xiliang heritage, the attraction of the world has never been attracted by this side.
Nowadays, whether it is the Han or Wei or those scattered small forces, their eyes are focused on Jiangdong.
Since Liu Yi incorporated the entire Hetao into the territory of the Han Dynasty last year, Cao Wei had to give up the attack on Nanyang and shrink his forces to turn attack into defense, Sun Quan was tantamount to being pitted by his new allies.
First of all, Pang Tong took Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang and others to the south, and the city that had just been captured was taken back before it was hot, followed by Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi to launch a counteroffensive, and even began to cross Nanshan and start an attack on Luling, which was a great counteroffensive.
To add insult to injury, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the navy down the river and attacked Chaisang with the cooperation of Wen Ping, forcing Sun Quan to move east.
Originally, it was only the army on the side of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan relied on the weapons he had traded with the Han over the years, coupled with the advantage of troops and the Jiangdong naval army, which was already powerful, and he could still occupy some upper hand, but with the addition of the two armies of Pang Tong and Guan Yu, Cao Wei chose to shrink his defense at this time, and Sun Quan was a little unstoppable.
The weapons of the Jingzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army may not be much different, but the troops brought by Pang Tong and Guan Yu are equipped with the latest weapons, whether it is the range of bows and arrows, the sharpness of the weapons or the solidity of the armor, they are at least two grades higher than Jiangdong, and the most important thing is that the two giant warships that Guan Yu drove over.
That is Liu Yi carefully built two keel warships, only the length is thirteen zhang, the width is also four zhang, walking on the river, just like a water fortress, the Dongwu naval army is the elite, but even if you send water ghosts down, chisel through the bottom of the ship, but there is still a layer of protection, unless you dismantle the first layer, otherwise if you want to go in and destroy the ship, it is impossible, this ship, Liu Yi is preparing for future navigation.
The most important thing is that the ship itself has indestructible attributes, and the water ghosts can only dig a small hole with all their might, and they can only dig a small hole and confront it head-on, Jiangdong's fleet faces this kind of giant, Guan Yu doesn't even need to use any tactics, the two battleships rush into the opponent's fleet side by side, and no matter how powerful Jiangdong's naval battle array is, it is also scattered, Wen Ping led other ships to rush up, and the Jiangdong naval army basically has no formation at all, even if it is a string battle.
In the middle of the first month, Zhu Ran, the governor of Jiangdong, held on to the siege and defense of Chaisang for ten days, and was finally killed on the city wall by the catapult of the Han army, but it did not win time for Sun Quan's retreat, and after Guan Yu occupied Chaisang, Sun Quan had fled to Wu County with his troops and reorganized the defense line.
Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong fought out from Nanshan and quickly captured Luling, Pang Tong occupied Lujiang, and then the three armies worked together to take Yuzhang.
By the beginning of February, Sun Quan only had the three counties of Wu, Huiji and Danyang left, and Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to lead the naval army down the river, preparing to annex Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
At the moment of crisis, Sun Quan worshiped Lu Xun as the new governor of Jiangdong.
Then Lu Xun drove a large number of wooden stakes along the river bank, trapped Guan Yu's navy, and by the east wind, a fire almost burned the sailors, Guan Yu had to take two warships and the remaining navy to retreat to the Lujiang River, at the same time Sun Quan also sent Kan Ze to invite Wei reinforcements, Cao Shuang led the army to take over Hefei, and at the same time stationed heavy troops in Wujiang and Guanglingtun to prevent the Han army from attacking Jiangdong from the river.
Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses were also blocked by Lu Xun in Nanling, and quickly established a fortress here as a fortress to block the Han army.
The Han army's expedition this time was considered to have completed the task more than expected, not only defusing the attack of the Cao-Sun Alliance, but also filling in the three counties for its own family in one fell swoop, and after Yuzhang, Jiaozhou was cut off from Jiangdong, and it was only a matter of time before it returned to Han.
After this battle, judging from the map, the Han Dynasty recovered half of the world, and both the national strength and population were no worse than the Wei Dynasty.
Although Guan Yu was defeated for a while, resulting in heavy losses to the naval division, the two warships were there, and the naval army was still there, and the naval army could be quickly reorganized, and Jiangdong suffered heavy losses in this battle, and it was difficult to fight back in a short period of time.
As a beneficiary, Liu Chan completely had his own prestige after this battle, and the Han Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty established two great powers, as for Sun Quan, although he was called the emperor, he had lost the qualification to compete for the world.
In the second year of Han Xingyuan, in March, after the war, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had not yet returned to the court, and Sun Quan had already sent someone to send a letter of request, willing to give up the throne and claim to the Han Dynasty.
This is also reasonable, although it is allied with the Wei Dynasty, but now the Wei Dynasty obviously can't protect the Eastern Wu, and the Eastern Wu has just experienced a big defeat, losing the city and losing the land, even if the Han Navy has been hit hard, but Yu Zhang, the Han Army can still attack Wu County and Huiji by land, the era of the Jiangdong Navy dominating the water is gone forever, Lu Xun defeated Guan Yu or relied on the river bank, trapped about it with a wooden pillar, and burned the water division, just like that, he didn't dare to kill Guan Yu, but let Guan Yu go, In order to be able to rebuild the old friendship with the Han after the war, at least not to continue to deteriorate the relationship between the two sides, and now Jiangdong no longer has the same bargaining chips as the Han in the past.
Watching the big Han go from needing to rely on Jiangdong to make a living, and leaving his former allies behind step by step, it is impossible to say that he is not heartwarming, but now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, no matter how difficult it is, Sun Quan has to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Dahan doesn't ask for much, within three years, provide Dahan with 5 billion money, which is considered compensation, and don't do anything else.
No way, now Liu Yi has gone to the northwest, that is a big hole, Liu Chan is almost poor and crazy during this time, the army wants money to reward the three armies, Liu Yi's construction can not be stopped, the results of last year, plus the income in Shuzhong, let Liu Chan be extremely enthusiastic about supporting Liu Yi's construction, and now the people of the Han Dynasty are very rich, and the court is not short of materials, but lack of money.
In the next three years, Liu Yi has the Xiliang and Hetao track laying plans, the Jiuyuan reconstruction plan, the Zhangye reconstruction plan, and the construction plans of Panyang City and the newly acquired Lujiang and Yuzhang.
Just made a profit, followed by will continue to invest out, get greater returns, and then invest out, from Jingzhou to Shuzhong to Guanzhong, Liu Chan almost forgot what the five-baht money is, generally the money will not stay long in the treasury will be re-issued, Liu Chan can now understand why his father missed Sikong but was a little afraid to see him.
Liu Yi is not the kind of minister who blows his nose and stares at you, and the way of doing things will try to be based on your opinions, and if you have opinions, you will put them up tactfully, if you don't agree, you will never mention it again, but just one point, when you see Liu Yi, he will ask you for money, and there is no reason to refuse, and Liu Yi's boasting of Haikou, so far, has basically been realized, but it hurts a little money.
So this time, since there is no way to further expand the results of the war, Liu Chan hopes to share his pressure on Jiangdong some, after all, in this war, the reward for the three armies can be rewarded in the form of property and tax exemption, but the hole on Liu Yi's side, it is difficult for the big man to take it out for a while, and he can only hope for this former ally.
For this point, whether it is Zhuge Liang, Huang Quan, Liu Ba or even Li Yan, these ministers all expressed their support.
No matter what Liu Yi's opinion is, but most of the troubles of the important ministers of the court over the years have come from money, the development speed of the Han is too fast, to make up for the side effects of this too rapid development, can only be solved with money, Liu Yi reported the money this time is tens of billions...... Liu Chan felt that he might be aging before he got old.
