Occupied the Niuzhu Water Army Dazhai and eliminated the last bit of the water army of Eastern Wu in the Yangtze River waterway.

The Han army completely controlled the entire Yangtze River waterway, and the navy's 500-ton Chang'an-class galleons could easily reach Hankou.

The Yangtze River is full of Han warships, and the river can be crossed everywhere.

Sun Quan finally completely died of the idea of blocking the Han army on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and began to arrange for the military and civilians of Jianye to withdraw south.

However, he still gathered 90,000 horses and horses of the three armies of the left battalion, the right battalion, and the front battalion of the Eastern Wu infantry army near Jianye, intending to block the Han army crossing the river and buy time for the migration of the people.

In September, Lü Bu, who was well prepared, personally led the army to cross the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River channel near Niuzhu, and collected a large number of transport ships, even cargo ships, for this purpose.

The Imperial Forest Army, as well as the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 10th Divisions of the Wehrmacht, all crossed the river from here.

In addition, there are several other places to cross the river, and there are also Han troops crossing the river.

After the Han army crossed the river, the troops were divided into several routes, attacking Shicheng, Danyang, Dangtu and other cities respectively, while Lü Bu led the Imperial Forest Army to directly attack Jianye.

After crossing the river, Lü Bu attacked from the south to the north, and the Wu army along the way was scattered.

It was not until the lake was ripe that he encountered one of the main forces of the Wu army's infantry army, Ling Tong's left battalion.

There were 30,000 men in the left battalion of the Wu army, all of whom were equipped with flintlock muskets, and most of them were rifled guns, with a range of up to 400 zhang, which was enough to exchange fire with the Han army.

They took advantage of the terrain of the water network in the south of the Yangtze River to restrict the advance of the Han army, and Lü Bu actually took precautions, and the troops crossing the river were mostly infantry, and there were few cavalry.

When the Han army advanced, they retreated, but when the Han army stopped to rest, they would appear from all directions, shooting cold guns, making people unguardable.

The Han army could only take advantage of its large numbers to fight with the Wu army for strength, casualties, and equipment, and slow down the attack.

Ling Tong bought valuable time for Jianye's personnel to evacuate.

By the time the Han army reached the city of Jianye, the officials of Jianye and the people who were willing to move south had already migrated, and only tens of thousands of Wu troops were still holding on.

Lü Meng commanded about 80,000 troops in the front battalion, right battalion, and middle battalion of the Wu army, and engaged in a fierce battle with the Han army outside Jianye City, and the sound of guns and cannons was endless.

However, Lu Bu did not have to capture Jianye as Lu Meng envisioned, and in Lu Bu's eyes, Jianye was just an ordinary city, just an additional identity as the capital of Wu.

Lü Bu had long known through the Ministry of Intelligence that Sun Quan had moved his family members, civil and military officials, and a large number of people who were willing to follow him to Jiaozhou and even Yizhou in the south.

Therefore, he is not interested in the empty Jianye City, and with this energy, he might as well quickly advance to the south of the Yangtze River or eliminate more Wu troops.

Lü Bu only pinned down Lü Meng's army with a few divisions, and then ordered the troops who crossed the river from other places to penetrate the enemy's rear, and his goal was to surround Lü Meng's army in Jianye City and eliminate as much of Wu's living force as possible.

And his Imperial Forest Army followed Sun Quan south closely according to the clues left by the undercover agents of the Intelligence Department.

Lü Meng was still very experienced, and he quickly noticed that the Han army's attack on Jianye was not fierce, but more like it was involved.

He immediately sent a large number of scouts around, and soon received a report, and sure enough, the numbers of many divisions of the Han army were found around Jianye, and a faint encirclement was formed.

And among these numbers, there is no Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army, that is to say, after Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army crossed the Yangtze River, it did not march in the direction of Jianye, but disappeared.

Lü Meng immediately thought of his lord Sun Quan, who was moving south with a large number of people and officials of Eastern Wu, first to Panyu, and if the situation continued to deteriorate, then to Yizhou.

Sun Quan was flanked only by Ling Tong's infantry Zuo Battalion and the Janissaries of Eastern Wu, with a strength of about 40,000 troops, while there were as many as 200,000 civilians and officials at all levels.

If Lu Bu's Imperial Forest Army really went to trouble Sun Quan, this situation would not be good!

Lu Meng immediately flew a pigeon to send a letter to Sun Quan, reminding him to be careful, and on the other hand, he flew a pigeon to send a message to Lu Xun in Jiaozhou, asking him to send troops north to meet Sun Quan.

Although it was originally planned that there would be reinforcements going north to meet them, they were not many and only played the role of a guide.

Looking at the boundless jungle in front of him, Sun Quan's mood was the same as this gloomy weather, and he couldn't be happy at all.

Starting from Jianye, like a lost dog, he ran out in a gray manner, and many of the Sun family's property did not have time to move away, and they were all cheap Lu Bu.

After all, the Sun family has been operating painstakingly in Jiangdong for 20 years, most of which is run by Sun Quan, and the foundation left by his father and brother has grown and grown.

It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, but he was born in the same era as Lu Bu and was suppressed by him everywhere.

Since Zhou Yu's death, Eastern Wu has not had a military advisor who can be far-sighted and strategic in both political and military aspects.

Although Lü Meng is Zhou Yu's designated successor, Lü Meng's ability is limited to the military field, and he is more than successful and not enterprising.

However, Lu Xun has quite an opinion, and the governance of Jiaozhou in the past two years has also been prosperous, but that Liu Bei still occupies a corner of Jiaozhou and does not accept Wang Hua.

This time, Lu Bu went on a southern expedition, and Lu Xun strongly suggested that Sun Quan move his army and population to Jiaozhou, avoid its edge, not compete with Lu Bu for a city and a pool, and preserve his strength.

After leaving Jianye, he didn't go far before he entered the jungle and mountain, and Ling Tong's left battalion of infantry opened the way in front of him, doing the work that the sappers should do.

Every mountain opens a road and meets a bridge with water, and many of the places they have walked are primeval forests, and there are no traces.

At that time, only the coastal areas along the Yangtze River and the southeast coast of Jiangnan were developed, while the deeper inland areas were all such mountains and dense forests.

When Cao Pi came to surrender, many people from Wei also came with him, and they were assigned by Sun Quan to develop in the Jiangnan area, but they did not go so far.

In these lofty mountains and dense primeval forests, only the barbaric South Vietnamese can still live, and ordinary Han Chinese have never been here.

In recent years, although the Jiangdong Sun clan continued to develop Jiangnan and sent a large number of troops to conquer the South Vietnamese, it is said that the South Vietnamese who were conquered by the Eastern Wu accounted for only one-tenth of their ethnic group.

To this day, there are still a large number of tribes of South Vietnamese people in these deep mountains and rivers.

I wonder how long Lu Meng, who stayed in Jianye, would be able to attract Lu Bu's attention?

Is it possible to hold on until you arrive in Jiaozhou? Looking at the speed of the march, I'm afraid it will take many days to reach Jiaozhou, right?

Originally, the quickest way to get from Jiangnan to Jiaozhou was to take a boat south, and to go slower, it was to go south along the southeast coast and the counties occupied by the Han people.

But now the naval army of Eastern Wu has been completely defeated by the navy of the Han army, whether it is the waterway of the Yangtze River or the southeast coast, the control of this water is in the hands of the Han army.

Therefore, it is very dangerous to take a boat or pass through the coastal area, so this stupid method can only be used to travel south along the small road that used to be distributed to the Lingnan area.
