The news of the attack on Shunyang was reported to Li Chu as soon as possible. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Chu didn't care that it was too late, so he immediately took the news and asked Zhu Wu to go to the county office to talk about it.
When he heard that Shunyang had been broken and all the sailors and ships in Shunyang were controlled by Yang Zhi and Lu Junyi, Zhu Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly congratulated Li Chu: "Congratulations to the lord, the Danjiang navy has been obtained, and Xiangyang will be taken into the bag to take things, Xiangyang is already in the lord's bag, not only that, but the entire Huguang land will also be attacked by the lord." ”
"It's all up to the strategist."
Li Chu was also very excited.
Huguang is full of river waters, in this side of the navy is an important military force, with a strong enough navy, you can easily intersperse the entire Huguang area along the rivers, not only Huguang, then you can also go down the Yangtze River, then Pan Yangze, Jiangnan will also be under Li Chu's attack.
Near Xiangyang, except for the sweat and the White River, there is no large place to train the navy.
In the upper reaches of Xiangyang sweat, the Danjiang River, which is not far from Xiangyang, has become the base camp of Wang Qing's training navy, Danjiangze is very huge, and it is a natural harbor to train the navy here, and it is also the only place under Wang Qing's influence that can train the navy.
Now that Shunyang has returned to Li Chu, all the Shunyang sailors have been captured.
After Yang Zhi counted it, he reported some information to Li Chu.
Among the 16,000 defenders captured by Yang Zhi, there were 13,000 sailors, and then 130 large and small navy warships.
Liu Min of Suixian County did not succeed in lobbying, and Liu Min did not even have a chance to lobby Zhang Yi in Shunyang, although he had the credit of leading the army to break the two cities of Suixian and Shunyang, but Liu Min was still not very relieved, after all, he was Wang Qing's general, and he was not as good as Li Chu's side.
When all the captives were imprisoned in the camp outside the city, Liu Min took the initiative to ask Yang Zhi to lobby this group of sailors.
Liu Min, as the general of Nanyang, was not directly promoted to this position, but followed Wang Qing to fight one battle after another.
This Shunyang was fought by Liu Min and Du Bai by Wang Qing's side, but Du Bai went to Xiangyang, and Liu Min went to Wancheng in Nanyang, and after this Shunyang, Wang Qing asked Zhang Yi to take care of it. This Wang Qing component water army Liu Min also participated in the management at the beginning.
Wang Qing, the commander of the 13,000 naval army, is a person called Fang Xing, and this person has a very good relationship with Liu Min.
Under Liu Min's persuasion, Fang Xing immediately agreed to join the Qilin Army, and at the same time, he also asked all the thirteen,000 sailors who were at his disposal to join him. Yang Zhizheng had a headache about this, but he didn't expect Liu Min to surrender this group of sailors as soon as he came out.
The navy has surrendered, and the remaining 3,000 defenders have no choice but to surrender together.
Yang Zhi asked Fang Xing to continue to command the 13,000 naval army, and let Liu Min serve as the commander of the naval army, and Fang Xing as the deputy commander.
It was very good that Fang Xing could save his life, but he didn't expect that not only did he not lose his position, but also continued to let him command the more than 13,000 water army, although the main will be Liu Min, but this does not affect anything, because Liu Min is not familiar with the water army and military, Fang Xing also understands the intention of the Qilin Army, and immediately bows to Yang Zhi and thanks.
When it was dawn on the second day, Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, also came over with his more than 4,000 sailors.
Yang Zhi didn't say a word, and let Li Jun dispatch all the entire Danjiang naval army, and the three heroes of the Yuan clan and the house punishment were temporarily under Li Jun, and Li Jun had the final say in the Danjiang naval army.
Li Chu took the initiative to ask Mu Hong to invite Li Jun, which was already very satisfying for Li Jun, which proved that the Qilin Army valued him here, but he didn't expect that after arriving in Danjiang, the Qilin Army would attach importance to him to such a point, so he just surrendered and sent all the sailors here to him, and immediately bowed three times in the direction of Wancheng.
The 13,000 sailors have been training in Danjiang for a long time, and Li Jun's 4,000 sailors are already a hundred battles navy, plus the 2,000 sailors that the three heroes of the Yuan clan took away at the beginning, and now on the Shunyang side, Li Jun is in charge of as many as 19,000 sailors.
It's just that with so many sailors, this ship is indeed a bit insufficient.
Yang Zhi reported this matter to Li Chu, and Li Chu immediately said that he would find a way to solve the matter of the boat, and if there were not enough ships at present, he could first collect and buy from the civilian ships in the Danjiang area, and all the money for the purchase would be paid by him.
Immediately, Yang Zhi bought a large number of fishing boats in Shunyang to fill Li Jun's navy.
Li Jun also ran in with the 19,000 naval army of General Danjiangze for a day.
At dawn the next day, Yang Zhi was left to garrison Shunyang, and Lu Junyi ordered 30,000 soldiers to go south to Shunyang.
He also asked Li Jun to lead 15,000 sailors to Danjiangze to the south and enter the Hanshui from the mouth of the Danjiang River.
The upstream source of the Han River is this Danjiangze.
Qiande is not far below the mouth of the Danjiang River, the two armies of the waterway dispatched together, after the defeat of Shunyang the day before yesterday, the news has leaked here, it is estimated that Qiande County has received the news that Shunyang was broken, and now it is urgently stationed.
Lu Junyi led the army directly to the gate of Qiande County to confront the defenders of Qiande.
At the same time, Li Jun led the naval army out of Danjiangze from the mouth of the Danjiang River and into the Han River, but arrived in Qiande County in just half a moment.
When Lu Junyi's 30,000 troops surrounded the north gate and the east gate, the defenders of Qiande brought all the 5,000 people to these two city gates to garrison, and they were simply unable to defend the water, and the defenders would not have thought that this group of people would come from the water.
After all, it's from Ruzhou, and there are ships there?
When Li Jun arrived with 15,000 sailors, the commander of Qiande was immediately stupid, and Li Jun attacked the county without even having a chance to escape, and at the same time, Lu Junyi also broke through the north gate of Qiande, and the commander of Qiande was killed by the rebels on the main road of the county.
At this point, the five counties of Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian, Xinye, and Miyang planned by Li Chu have all fallen into his territory.
The land of Nanyang was completely occupied by Li Chu.
After capturing Qiande, Li Jun's navy only rested in Qiande, and immediately set off to the south along the Han River to sweep some of the Wang Qing defenders' strongholds along the Han River.
On the other side, Li Chu had already driven the tank and rushed to the county with the water army.
Li Chu only stayed in Yuxian for a moment, and then continued to set off south to Xiangyang.
Lu Junyi also left only 5,000 people to garrison Qiande County, and took the remaining 25,000 people to Xiangyang.
There are still a few small towns between Yuxian and Xiangyang, so the soldiers in the towns are directly swept away.
When it was dawn again, Li Chu also rushed to the other side of the Han River outside Xiangyang City.
At this moment, Lu Junyi's 25,000 troops had already converged with Li Chu, and Li Jun's 15,000 water army was also interspersed on the surface of the Hanshui River.
Xiangyang City.
Wang Qing was woken up early in the morning, and when he rushed to the city wall of Xiangyang with great reluctance, he couldn't believe it when he looked at the sailors passing through the river.
In particular, the bow of these ships is accompanied by the Qilin flag of the Qilin Army.
It made him feel like he was in a dream.
When did the Qilin Army have already hit the outside of Xiangyang City?
On the other side of the Hanshui River, Li Chu aimed the turret of the tank at Xiangyang City.
