Although Zhu Wei agreed to let Mu Lan lead the troops into battle this time, he still repeatedly warned her not to mess around, and she must fight with the specialty of light cavalry.

This inevitably made Mu Lan feel a little verbose, but as long as he could lead his troops to battle, Mu Lan was already very satisfied.

And now that Teng Yuyan has raised the issue of cavalry, Zhu Wei has also officially issued this military order, and Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan have officially received the order and are ready to take the cavalry to fight in Nanyang County.

After solving the question raised by Teng Yuyan, Gan Ning also asked about the specific dispatch of troops by the Jiang Jiao battalion, such as how many river boats and how many warships were needed this time, and who was the main one between the two after he contacted Wei Yan from Xiaoling County, etc.

These Wang Yuyan were naturally prepared in advance, so they also explained one or two things to Gan Ning one by one, of course, the specific things will be officially transmitted to Gan Ning's Jiangjiao Camp and Wei Yan's Jingnan Camp in the form of military orders, and now it means that Gan Ning probably knows it.

Of course, Teng Huxiong also asked some of the auxiliary soldiers who needed to be transferred from the rear army, the approximate age group or something, and basically they were all within the scope of his responsibility.

Anyway, all the doubts were roughly resolved at this military meeting, so the next step was to prepare for the war.

In May 197 AD, Qian Tanghou, General Jingnan, and Jingzhou assassinated Shi Zhuwei, and in the name of Liu Biao and the rebel Yuan Shuzeng's alliance and conspiracy, which was actually a rebel thief, he brazenly sent troops to Nanjun and Nanyang County under Liu Biao's control.

Zhu Wei's troops are claimed to have 200,000 troops, and the army will attack Nanjun in three places, which will inevitably make the world's heroes look sideways.

In fact, there are still wars happening in various parts of the world today, Yuan Shao in the north is fighting with Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao is also confronting Yuan Shu in Chen Guoyou, which is close to Xudu, Lu Bu and Liu Bei are in Xuzhou, and other warlords in Guanzhong have not stopped fighting for each other's territory.

However, Zhu Wei's dispatch to Jingbei this time was the most eye-catching battle between local warlords at this time stage.

After all, Liu Biao in Jingzhou can be regarded as one of the heroes of today's princes, with a tiger in Jingzhou, controlling an army of more than 100,000 people, and has the strength to make the world's heroes fearful, and now with an emerging force like Zhu Wei, it will definitely be a hard-fought duel to challenge a strong local prince like Liu Biao.

Once Zhu Wei defeats Liu Biao, it means that Zhu Wei, an emerging force, will replace Liu Biao and become a more aggressive southern tyrant than Liu Biao.

In Cao Cao's mouth, Liu Biao is just a wine-colored person, not a hero, and in Guo Jia's mouth, Liu Biao is just a talker, which shows that although Liu Biao originally had some strength, he was really not very threatening to the outside world, and he didn't have to worry about him growing stronger.

But Zhu Wei is different, since Zhu Wei was born, it can be regarded as expanding the territory several times in a blink of an eye, if Zhu Wei occupies Jingzhou, it is definitely something that makes the surrounding heroes jealous.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, who were next to Jingzhou, were the people who paid the most attention to this battle.

If Zhu Wei and Liu Biao lose both sides, maybe it is when they take advantage of the situation, otherwise when Zhu Wei digests Jingzhou, or Liu Biao counterattacks Zhu Wei's territory, it will not be a good thing for them.

Of course, when Zhu Wei sent a message to attack Liu Biao, Zhu Wei's army had already dispatched to Jingbei.

According to Wang Yuyan's military strategic arrangement, when Zhu Wei sent out a conquest for Liu Biao, Zhu Wei had already taken a boat from Poyang, with more than 50,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, to Nanjun.

About two days later, Zhu Wei joined the 15,000 Divine Arrow Battalion soldiers prepared by Tai Shici on the side of the Turtle Snake Gorge Water Village, continued to go up the river, and turned from the Yangtze River to the Han River on the side of Shaxian, heading straight for Xiangyang.

Most of this waterway is in Jiangxia County, so it has not encountered any obstacles, but the ships of Zhu Wei's army are almost filled with the Han River, so that the people of the villages and counties on both sides of the Han River can't help but marvel in their hearts, and what big thing is going to happen.

After all, the official document is not something that ordinary people like them can know, and when they do, it is basically the time when the battle breaks out in their homeland.

At this time, Zhu Wei's army had actually been divided into several parts, each of which acted according to the prior plan.

Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan took 10,000 light horsemen from the official road of Jiangxia into the territory of Suixian in Nanyang County, and made preparations to attack Suixian County to attract the attention of Liu Biao, Xinye Wenpin, and Wancheng Zhang Xiu.

And Gan Ning took the 10,000 troops of Jiang Jiao's battalion to divide the warships in Shaxian and went in the direction of Chibi, which soon attracted the attention of Jiangling Cai Mao's naval army.

Of course, the Jingnan battalion of Weiyan in Xiaoling County also dispatched soldiers and horses to prepare for Jiangling, and the boats and boats belonging to the Jingnan battalion were constantly coming and going on the Yangtze River, and they seemed to be moving around the Cai Mao Water Village in Jiangling.

At the front of Zhu Wei's main force was the six thousand Xionglu battalion soldiers led by Ling Cao and Xing Daorong as the vanguard, exploring the way to find a suitable place to camp at the front, and at the same time exploring the army information on Liu Biao's side.

Then there were more than 14,000 remaining troops of Pang Yan's Xionglu camp and more than 15,000 troops of Tai Shici's Shenjian battalion, alternating on the surface of the Hanshui River and on the land on both sides, and the two armies not only sailed upriver on the Han River by boat, but also sent people to march on the north and south banks of the Han River to prevent Liu Biao's army from ambushing on both sides of the Han River.

After walking like this for a while, they will change the soldiers on land and water, so that the soldiers on land can get on the boat to rest and recover their strength, but it also looks orderly.

Finally, Zhu Wei's Chinese army of 13,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries, filled the Han River by boat, followed the army in front of them slowly, and carried a large number of siege and siege equipment prepared by the Yuzhang craftsman workshop on the river boat on Zhu Wei's side.

This attack on Nanjun will definitely have many city offensive and defensive battles with Liu Biao, especially Xiangyang City, Liu Biao's base camp, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is definitely a big city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhu Wei must have corresponding siege equipment to prepare.

This Xiangyang city is named because it is located in the sun of Xiangshui, the Han River passes through the city, divides the city of Xiangyang into two blocks in the north and south, the south bank is the main city of Xiangyang, the north bank is Fancheng, the two cities face each other across the river, form a corner of each other, can support each other, cooperate with each other.

Therefore, Xiangyang in a broad sense is actually composed of two cities, the main city of Xiangyang and Fancheng, and if Zhu Wei attacks Xiangyang, he will have to face two adjacent cities across the Han River.

Just the main city of Xiangyang is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side of the easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain, not to mention the Fancheng located in the northwest of Xiangyang, which can condescendingly send troops to assist Xiangyang at any time.

Therefore, this battle will not be easy......
