Chapter 727: Don't Kill You, Don't Pull Out Arrows
"Your Majesty, the river defense is urgent, Du Fuwei has crossed the river!"
In the middle of the night, an urgent report was sent into the palace through the small window on the palace door, waking the emperor from his dream.
Without waiting for the emperor to send troops to fight Jiangnan, recover Danyang and move the capital south, Du Fuwei came first. For a period of time, Du Fuwei was a soldier of Chen Jingkou and stationed in Beigushan, showing his intention to attack Guazhou from Jingkou to Jiangdu.
It's just that after a long time, I haven't seen any action for a long time, so Jiangdu also decided that Du Fuwei didn't dare to cross the river. And the three forces of Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, and Zuo Caixiang rose in the south of the Yangtze River, and they also surrounded Du Fuwei on three sides, and several rebels attacked each other, which made Yang Guang feel that Du Fuwei was too busy to take care of himself.
No one expected that Du Fuwei had killed Jiang at this time.
"What about the Huainan soldiers in Guazhoudu?" Yang Guang asked while kneading his somewhat sore head.
"Your Majesty, Du Wei crossed the river from quarrying."
In ancient times, there were two places in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, one was the quarrying crossing, and the other was the Guazhou crossing, which was located in the upper and lower reaches of Jian'an City.
The army of Jiangbei wanted to cross the river to attack Jiankang, and sent more troops to these two places.
The Jiankang side also strengthened the defense of these two ferries, so it has always been on the south bank of the two ferries, and they have been garrisoned and set up as military towns, which are Jingkou and quarrying.
These two places are opposite each other across the river, that is, the east of the river capital, and the west of Liyang.
Previously, Du Fuwei had been stationed in Jingkou with heavy troops, which made the Jiangdu side think that even if Du Fuwei really wanted to attack, he would definitely cross the river from Jingkou and attack Jiangdu directly, so the heavy troops were stationed in the east to defend.
But who would have thought that Du Fuwei would actually make a noise.
If you can't do it for a long time, this will not only follow several other rebels to attack each other, but also be able to make a sudden move and cross north in quarrying.
In fact, Du Fuwei did not have no action during this time, after capturing the four counties of Danyang, Xuancheng, Biling, and Wu County, although Du Fuwei sent troops to continue to attack, but there was Shen Faxing in the southeast, Zuo Caixiang in the south, and Lin Shihong in the east, and he could not expand for a while.
Hearing that Yang Guangzheng was preparing to move south, Du Fuwei made the first move.
He had also been building warships and secretly preparing to cross the river.
On the surface, Du Fuwei has been sending troops to Jingkou, in fact, he has been quietly withdrawing soldiers and horses, but every time he withdraws troops at night, only a little at a time, and then often lets a small number of soldiers and horses come over with many banners during the day, so that the opposite side mistakenly thinks that Du Fuwei has increased his troops in Jingkou again.
After such a period of time, in fact, there were less than 5,000 people in Jingkou.
Jingkou is now Zhenjiang, because the earliest Sun Quan had set the capital here, called the capital, moved the capital to Jianye, that is, Nanjing, then changed the capital to Jingkou.
Since then, the establishment of the country in the eastern capital, all to Jingkou as an important town, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xi Jian to run Jingkou to thwart the rebellion of Su Jun, then built as a Xiong Town, known as the North Mansion, and the West Mansion Liyang, Nanzhou Gu together with the Gong Wei Jingshi Jiankang. Huan Wen is good at government politics and regards Jingkou as a thorn in his side.
When the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, He Ruobi was the first to cross the Yangtze River from Guazhoudu, captured Jingkou, and surrounded Jiankang City with Han Baohu, who crossed the river from quarrying.
Because of the importance of Kyoguchi, everyone's eyes are on Kyoguchi.
But I don't know, in fact, the quarrying across the river and the crossing of the river are opposite, its place protrudes to the center of the river, there is an excellent river crossing wharf, it is the easiest place to cross the river in ancient times.
When Qin Shi Huang toured south, he also crossed the river from here.
Even Sun Ce captured Jiangdong and crossed the river from there.
Generally speaking, if you cross the river from north to south, it is better to cross the river from quarrying than from Jingkou, because the river is wide and the rivers and lakes are dense, so it is not easy for the cavalry in the north to march. To the north of quarrying, it faces the Central Plains directly from the west of Huai, and the cavalry is easy to reach and perform.
However, if you attack from the south to the north, it is easier to cross the Jingkou than quarrying.
But Du Fuwei did the opposite.
He has the help of his old brother Fu Gongyi, and has to help Luo Cheng's three righteous sons, so he selected strong and brave warriors from the army, called the upper recruitment, equipment and treatment are the best, every battle must be used as a precursor, after the war to check the injury, if the injury is in front, there will be a heavy reward.
If the injury is in the back, etc., there is a heavy penalty.
Among the 5,000 recruits, there are 3,000 Danyang sword and shield soldiers, who are the best at jumping and charging, and there are 2,000 light cavalry, which is already a very strong strength in the land south of the Yangtze River.
This elite secret training team was quietly transferred to quarrying in batches.
Then, when the Yangtze River is shallow in winter, he crossed the river in the dark night by taking a warship that was rushed out.
In one fell swoop, the quarry crossing was breached.
Liyang and Jiangdu are known as the root of Huaidong.
The loss of Liyang can be said to have caught Jiangdu off guard.
It is said that at that time, Du Fuwei left Fu Gongqi to guard Danyang, and personally led Kan Ling's three generals to raise 5,000 to cross the river.
During the night attack on the quarrying officer's army, a fierce battle was in full swing, and he was shot by an officer's marksman.
Duvowe should be shot off his horse.
Just when everyone was worried, Du Fuwei got on the horse with an arrow again, waved his knife and pointed directly at the Sui general in the distance, and shouted, "Don't kill you, don't pull out the arrow." ”
Then, the fierce man just slapped his horse and swung his sword and rushed straight away, all the way to the man, and cut the general under the horse with a knife, so the Sui army collapsed.
"Hurry up and dispatch the Xiaoguo army to intercept it!"
"Zhao Li Yuan led his troops to quell the rebellion ·····" Halfway through speaking, the emperor remembered that Li Yuan might not be credible now, so he changed his words, "Zhao Lai Hu'er is appointed as the southeast Xuanfu envoy, Henan, Huainan, and Shandong are all subject to his control, Zhao Xiaoyu is the Kanto Xuanfu envoy, and the three towns of Hebei, Hedong, and Monan are all subject to his military system." ”
"Then edict Chen Ling to go south immediately, command the Huainan army to crusade against Du Yi, and order Sima Dekan, Yu Wenhua and immediately lead the Xiaoguo army of Pi and Pengcheng back to Jiangdu to escort!"
Liyang.
Wujiang.
In history, the place where the overlord of Chu killed himself.
Du Fuwei had just captured Wujiang County, and at this time there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Fu Gongqi sent him several soldiers and horses.
In the city of Wujiang.
Du Fuwei discussed with Kan Ling and other generals where to fight next.
Some generals thought that they should attack Lujiang and seize Hefei, the reason was that Meng Rang was killed by his subordinate Li Mi, and now everyone in Lujiang County is uneasy, although Li Mi has sent someone to take over Lujiang, but the army is uneasy.
This is a good time to send troops to take it.
And Lujiang is a key town in Huaixi, occupying Lujiang, the north can attack Henan, and the west and east sweep Huaixi.
"No, I crossed the river this time, did I come to take the opportunity to grab the land? I'm here to attack Jiangdu and capture the faint king. Therefore, I have only one goal, Jiangdu City. ”
Kan Ling expressed his support.
If you want to fight, you will fight Jiangdu.
"Jiangdu has 100,000 Xiao fruits!" Someone reminded.
"100,000 Xiaoguo? I don't think even 100,000 pigs are as good as that! Duvowe disagreed.
"Order, the whole army will rest all night, early tomorrow morning, cross Chushui, cross Liuhe Mountain, we will kill Jiangdu and capture the faint king!"
At the end of October, when Chen Ling led 8,000 soldiers and horses to Liuhe in the west of Jiangdu, bad news had come from the front line one after another, Du Fuwei's troops were in full swing, and they had already left Liyang County, invaded Jiangdu County, captured Quanjiao and Qingliu counties, and were coming to Liuhe County on the north bank of Chushui!
