Chapter 461: Far away from Yizhou

After Lu Xun took office, the first thing he did was to persuade Sun Quan to devote great efforts to the development of Yizhou, and to transfer civil and military officials and ordinary people to Yizhou.

Lu Xun and Sun Quan said openly and honestly that in addition to the high mountains and long roads, Jiaozhou is actually in no danger to defend.

For Lu Bu, who has successfully subdued the entire Central Plains region and the Jiangnan region, it is not a problem to take Jiaozhou.

The Han army firmly occupied the advantage at sea again, and if it was not prepared in advance, I am afraid that it would not be possible to run to Yizhou at that time.

Lu Xun was very unoptimistic about the situation in Jiaozhou, and he told Sun Quan that he could only try to keep it, but Sun Quan still had to plan early.

In fact, he didn't dare to say a word to Sun Quan, that is, to fight or surrender, and there is no third way out.

The general trend of Lu Bu's unification of Kyushu is already unstoppable, and the historical trend has always been divided for a long time.

After recovering the counties of Yangzhou, Lü Bu did not immediately raise troops south to attack Jiaozhou, but was busy pacifying the people.

In addition to a large number of original Jiangnan people, there are also many original Wei people who fled south with Cao Pi from Wei to escape the war.

But this time, it was impossible for them to leave their new home behind and continue to run south.

Wu still took great care of these people of the former Wei State, encouraged them to build new houses, gave them land, and lent them cattle to plough so that they could integrate into the new life more quickly.

Lü Bu scattered the captured 200,000 Jianye people to Danyang, Wu County and other surrounding counties, after all, after several days of fierce fighting, most of the city has been razed to the ground.

Even rebuilding will take some time, and before that, the people of Jianye will have to live in other areas.

Lü Bu soon got a report, saying that among the wounded of the Wu army, the injured Lü Meng was found, and the injury was not light.

He immediately sent the best military doctor in the army to treat him, and after the operation was successful, he arranged for Lü Meng to recuperate in the best sanatorium.

Lü Bu also took several senior generals of the Han army to visit Lü Meng.

Although the two sides were able to communicate well, they were resolutely rejected by Lü Meng in persuading Lü Meng to surrender.

Lu Bu was not reluctant, but just comforted him with kind words to rest well.

Li Su also followed Lü Bu to Jiangnan, and he submitted a plan of the Intelligence Department to Lü Bu, and they planned to make good use of their undercover agents in Wu to launch a psychological war to try to plot against several important people in Wu.

Of course Lu Bu will not object, it is originally to attack the heart and attack the city for the bottom!

He promised Li Su that as long as he could convince the other party, he could agree to any conditions.

In October, Tai Shouyu of Wu Guoji County surrendered to the Han army and offered several coastal county towns that had not yet been captured by the Han army, especially one of them, Dongye County, which was the most important port between the mainland of Wu and Yizhou.

The Han army occupied Dongye, which cut off the exchanges between the mainland of Wu and Yizhou, and had a great impact on Wu.

Lu Xun even sent 20,000 infantry to attack Dongye by land, wanting to recapture the port.

The Han army's response was also extremely fast, in addition to the first division entering Dongye County by land, the navy also landed the second division of the Marine Corps by sea directly by sea and landed ashore in Dongye.

The main divisions of the two Han armies easily repelled Lu Xun's army and broke his thoughts.

Wu could only open up new ports and shipping routes, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury for them, who did not have the right to control the sea.

In January 212, Lü Bu sent eight divisions of the National Defense Army as the vanguard to try to launch an attack on the Wu army in Jiaozhou.

It was from this time that Lu Xun launched the final plan and began to transfer the population, resources, and military equipment of Wu to Yizhou, and there was an endless stream of ships smuggling to Yizhou every day.

In order to smoothly implement the transfer plan, Lu Xun even did not hesitate to dispatch Wu's naval army to escort the smuggling route at night, and had many night battles with the Han army that heard the wind.

At night when visibility was very low, the artillery advantage of the Han army was not obvious, and the Wu army was often very close, exchanging fire with the Han army, and even directly engaging in broadside battles.

In this way, both sides suffered casualties and warships, and the Han army was no longer overwhelmingly superior.

At the beginning of the plan, Sun Quan took the most important civil and military ministers of Wu State, and the classic archives and precious metals that were finally transferred from Jianye, to Yizhou by sea.

The place where they landed was one of the earliest areas developed by the Wu State in Yizhou, and after two years of construction, it has become a large port, and in the local dialect, this place is called Kaohsiung.

Sun Quan decided to set the king capital of Wu in Kaohsiung, which was also to take its nice meaning, Kaohsiung.

After the successful transfer of Sun Quan and others, Lu Xun began to implement guerrilla tactics on the Jiaozhou battlefield, avoiding head-on confrontation with the Han army, but breaking it into pieces and conducting guerrilla warfare and raiding warfare.

Lü Bu had some experience in dealing with this kind of guerrilla warfare, and he ordered the Han army to adopt the tactics of fighting steadily and steadily.

At the same time, elite officers and men, especially the reconnaissance battalions of various divisions, were dispatched to form small detachments to deal with the Wu army with guerrilla attacks against guerrillas and attacks against harassment.

Many people of Wu State, after the Han army occupied the counties and counties, found that the Han army was not as wanton as Wu usually propagated, expropriating the people, burning, killing and looting.

On the contrary, like Wu Jun, the military discipline is strict, and he does not take anything from the people or harass the people.

Many people shifted their support to Wu, making it difficult for the Wu army, which wanted to fight guerrillas, to get more support from the people.

Soon, more Han troops marched into Jiaozhou from the direction of Jingzhou, and there were Han troops in Yulin County and Cangwu County.

Liu Bei had already seen that the situation was not good, and encouraged the Wu family of Yulin to move south with him, first to Jiaozhi County, and then to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

As for the task given to him by Lu Xun, what guerrilla warfare? Pang Tong and Liu Bei have the same opinion, and the matter of fighting strength is still left to Lu Xun himself.

Liu Bei's army is not numerous and the equipment is not good, how can he have the courage to provoke the Han army?

Originally, Lu Xun also wanted to engage in street battles with the Han army in Panyu and resist to the end, but the big merchants of Panyu united to warn him.

If Lu Xun insists on going his own way, destroying Panyu City and harming the interests of the merchants, then all the merchants will stop helping Lu Xun in any way.

For example, if the cargo ships of Yizhou will transport personnel and materials to the sea, such as the various resources needed for the development of Yizhou in the future, they will impose an embargo and trade blockade on Wu, which is a price that Wu cannot afford.

So when the Han army hit Panyu City, Lu Xun could only choose to evacuate Panyu and give Panyu City away.
