-- "Information Governance Guide; Yongji III

On the night of November 21, in Guazhou, Beijing, the fog was hanging down the river, Lu Can stood on the boat, looking at the surging river, behind him, the navy of the Jiujiang battalion was ready, taking advantage of this opportunity to cross the river and sneak attack, and the Yongjun confronted for more than 20 days, although Lu Can was calm on the surface, but he was uneasy in his heart.

He is not worried about Pei Yun on the other side, although the Yong army on the other side is nearly 100,000 people, but the navy is only more than 20,000 people, less than 1,000 boats, such a force, it is impossible to cross the river to capture Jingkou, of course, even if he intends to recapture Yangzhou, it is difficult to succeed with 50,000 sailors, in Guazhou Ferry, both armies have no necessary chance of winning, which is also the reason why these two armies did not take the initiative to challenge. It's just that Pei Yun can be as safe as a vegetarian, but he is worried about several battles, whether Huaixi can win according to his plan, whether Xiangfan can be as stable as Mount Tai, and whether Jia Mengguan can be safe and sound. Among them, the most important is the battle of Huaixi, if Huaixi is defeated, Huainan does not belong to Southern Chu from then on, and the Yongjun army can calmly cut off the connection between Xiangfan and Jiangling. In this way, Jingxiang is isolated, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Yong army can be on the Yangtze River, except for the Yangtze River, there is no buffer room, at that time, even if Sun Wu is reborn, it is impossible to save the overall situation.

After getting the movements of the Yongjun army and the deployment of troops from all directions, Lu Can could see that for the importance of Huaixi, the Yongjun army also knew in his heart, Shuzhong and Xiangyang were mainly attacked by generals, this is to contain the two places, not to make them separate, otherwise these two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Southern Chu generals in charge of the garrison are not ordinary, if the Yongjun army really captures one place, at least the strength must be more than doubled. Originally, the Yong army could use this place as a breakthrough, but presumably Emperor Yong also saw that the Huaidong water network was vertically and horizontally, which was more conducive to the attack and defense of the Southern Chu army, so although Pei Yun took Huaidong lightly, he still never advanced in vain, and even deliberately lured himself into the quagmire of Huaidong competition. So for the Yongjun, the real purpose is still Huaixi, although the fanfare and the offensive of the three-way army is used to cover up the real purpose of the Yongjun, but the soldiers can only know Shouchun.

However, although Lu Can saw this, he was also helpless, if Yu Mian and Rong Yuan were a little relaxed, it was very possible for the Yong army to take advantage of the situation to attack on a large scale, and if Jingkou did not take precautions, Pei Yun would also cross the river to take Jianye, once 100,000 Yongjun rode across the river, with the strength of the Jianye forbidden army, I was afraid that the old things would happen again. So even if Lu Can's ability, he can only watch the Yongjun take Huaixi, if the Yongjun army sends a general to attack Huaixi, then Lu Can can't do anything, but the Yong Dynasty and the opposition are permeated with the heart of the enemy, so Li Zhen did not send a general to supervise the Huaixi, but the eldest grandson Ji and Pei Yun each sent troops to form a coalition to attack Shouchun, this time, Lu Can has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

In order to achieve the victory of Huaixi, Lu Can can be said to have exhausted all his efforts, Huaixi's main general Shiguan, although not a genius, but tenacious and calm, trustworthy, in order to confuse the Yongjun, not to let the Yongjun send a general who can take charge of the attack on Huaixi, Lu Can deliberately "neglected" the Shouchun battle situation, and did not send reinforcements to save Huaixi. Then he did not hesitate to spare his son's surname and let Lu Yun go to Shouchun to assist Shiguan, which is really a very dangerous thing, a little inappropriate, even if Huaixi is victorious, Lu Yun's surname will be buried in Shouchun. But if you don't do this, you won't be able to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people of Shouchun, and you won't be able to drag the Yongjun army to the point of exhaustion, let alone break the Yongjun army with 9,000 elite cavalry. In the end, Lu Can mobilized the flying cavalry camp that had been hidden in the snow all along.

Southern Chu does not attach importance to cavalry, this is because of the limited terrain, but also because Southern Chu has lacked the confidence to go north since the founding of the country, so in the war with Dayong, Southern Chu has always been weak, so that it is subordinate to the vassal, this situation changed when Zhao Jue, the prince of De, was in charge of the army. Zhao Jue was distressed by the military disadvantage of Southern Chu, at his insistence, Southern Chu finally had its own cavalry, relying on less than 20,000 cavalry, Zhao Jue blocked the iron hooves of Dayong to the south, and broke through Shuzhong, Li Xian, the king of Qi, attacked Xiangyang twice, and it was this cavalry that cooperated with the defenders in the city to attack in order to achieve the final victory. However, after the death of Prince De, the Southern Chu monarchs and ministers, who had been hit hard and humiliated, not only did not seek revenge, but the appeasement forces rose, and Lu Xin, the prince of Zhenyuan, who took over Prince De in charge of military affairs at that time, was born in the navy and did not attach much importance to the cavalry, so this cavalry was not only not expanded, but gradually weakened. If it weren't for Prince De's old troops, it would be difficult to maintain the establishment of the Xiangyang cavalry.

After Lu Can inherited the position of general, he decided to redevelop the cavalry, but under the obstruction of Shang Weijun and others, the Jiangxia cavalry camp just had 3,000 people, and it could no longer get the support of the imperial court. Of course, Lu Can could not confront Shang Weijun, so he had to give up the initiative to build a cavalry camp. However, Lu Can did not give up, after he won the victory of Jiamengguan, he secretly trained the cavalry camp in Shuzhong, Yu Mian respected Lu Can very much, but obeyed, Lu Can's power in the Southern Chu military can almost cover the sky with one hand, and there are many in Shu, so the existence of this cavalry camp is not only unknown to the Dayong secret spies, but also to the Southern Chu court.

There are three main sources of acquisition of war horses: when the cavalry camp established by Prince De was reduced, the dismantled military horses were secretly sent by Lu Can to Shuzhong to establish a horse farm; Smuggling the Northern Han war horse from the sea, this route is not ideal, Dayong is very strong in the East China Sea, the sea is very difficult, the war horse is difficult to support, and it has to be transported thousands of miles to Shuzhong, but many excellent stallions in the Shuzhong horse farm are entered from this route, but after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, this route is basically useless; In addition, Lu Can even sent his cronies to Tubo to buy horses, which is difficult and dangerous. Under Lu Can's painstaking management, there are finally 9,000 cavalry in the flying cavalry battalion.

The selection of cavalry is Lu Can took advantage of various opportunities, from the Southern Chu army selected warriors, the trained generals are Shuzhong generals, some are Prince De's old department, Shu Zhong's generals are down, how did Prince De's old department get to Shu, but this is because of Xiangyang's general Rong Yuan, Rong Yuan, this person, is slightly outstanding, but the mind is not broad enough, after he took over the Xiangyang general, some of the generals who have always been incompatible were squeezed out, and Lu Xin, the governor of the Southern Chu military affairs at that time, did not want to offend him, so he secretly placed these generals, among which there were many cavalry generals, and later, these people were persuaded by Lu Can to train the cavalry battalion.

Ten years of gathering finally allowed Lu Can to master an elite cavalry, and it was unknown, and this cavalry became the key to Nanchu's victory. Before the start of the battle of Huaixi, Lu Can had secretly ordered this cavalry to sneak to Jiangling, although the Shu road was difficult, although the Yongjun secret spy had eyes and ears, but from Shuzhong to Jiangxia, the Lu family had been operating for many years, and then using the cover of the Jiangxia cavalry camp, this cavalry finally arrived in Jiangling quietly. After the battle of Huaixi was white-hot, this cavalry took advantage of the chaos to Shouchun, taking advantage of the night, the horse's hooves were wrapped with thick cloth, the people were titled, and the horses picked up the bells, and quietly arrived at the foot of Shouchun City, hiding and waiting for the opportunity to attack. When the Yong army was tired, they were worried that the Southern Chu army would attack the camp and intercept it, so they did not send scouts to investigate the military situation at night. In this way, the flying cavalry battalion dealt a heavy blow to the Yongjun army and achieved a great victory in Huaixi.

Of course, Lu Can has not yet received the Huaixi military report at the moment, so he naturally does not know that he has succeeded, but he has already made up his mind that no matter what the battle of Huaixi is, he will launch a decisive battle today. As for how to deal with the two battlefields of Huaixi and Huaidong, he has entrusted it to Yang Xiu, who has been in control of the overall situation in Jiangxia camp this time.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and he could barely see his five fingers, Lu Can sighed lightly and said, "Attack." ”

With Lu Can's order, the Southern Chu naval army attacked the opposite bank, and the battle of the seventh year of Longsheng's Great Yongnan Expedition to determine the final victory and defeat kicked off.

Guazhou, in the Yongjun dry village, Pei Yun had already fallen asleep, although the fog locked the cold river tonight, but the passive defense of the Southern Chu army on the other side of the river made him inevitably a little slack, although the Yongjun night patrol sergeant carefully paid attention to the movement on the river, but Pei Yun did not expect that the Southern Chu army would attack on a large scale today.

So it wasn't until the Southern Chu Navy arrived at the edge of the Yongjun Water Village that it was discovered by the Yongjun sentinels, and for a while, the golden drums of the Water Village and the Dry Village sounded in unison, and the Yongjun Army was also well-trained, and they came out of the tent to meet the enemy, the fog was filled, and the shore was also white, only to hear the shouting and killing of the Southern Chu Army, and the raging fire rising from the camp ignited by the Southern Chu Army rockets.

The light of the fire dispersed part of the fog, at this time, Pei Yun, who had been put on the battlefield, ordered all the Yongjun to light the torches, although the light of the torches became the best target for the Southern Chu army, but under the prevention of the Yongjun army, it quickly stabilized the position, up and down Guazhou, the fire was bright, and the fog on the river bank was dispersed six or seven percent, but the river was still foggy, and the Yongjun army could be said to be in the point of being passively beaten, Pei Yun had to order to strictly guard the dry village and water village, so that the three armies could fight back with bows and arrows. After a bitter battle in the middle of the night, by dawn, the Yong army had repelled several robberies of the Southern Chu army, but there was a mess in the water village, and Pei Yun was furious in his heart.

After dawn, the fog gradually dissipated, and it was already possible to see the warships of the Southern Chu army clearly, which made Pei Yun even more shocked, only to see more than 2,000 boats and boats swinging out of the water array, flying back and forth in the river, it seemed that the fog could not hinder their progress at all. Of course, because the Dayong Navy only has more than 1,000 boats and 20,000 people, Pei Yun ordered that he could not cross the heart of the river, and it was best to lead the Southern Chu Navy to the river, so that the Yong army on the shore could help with bows and arrows.

All of a sudden, the boats in the river rampage, the two armies began a fierce water battle, over the years, the Yongjun army is also fighting in the Jianghuai, the elite level is not reduced by the Southern Chu naval army, but after all, the Southern Chu naval army is large, and familiar with hydrology, the battle situation soon tilted to the Southern Chu side, Pei Yun saw this and ordered his own naval army to temporarily retreat to the water village. Sure enough, under the threat of the Yongjun army on the shore, the Southern Chu Navy did not continue the attack, but returned to the south bank.

After noon, the Southern Chu Naval Army, which had eaten and drunk enough and recovered its energy after resting, attacked again, and the battle was cemented, and the Southern Chu Naval Army could not attack Guazhou, and the Dayong Naval Army could not cross the center of the river. Pei Yun stood by the river, looking at Lu Can Daxu in the wind in the heart of the river, and his heart became more and more uneasy. In the future, the water battle became more and more fierce, the Southern Chu army released many small warships, the bow of those warships was wrapped with fine iron, under a collision, the Yongjun warships could be severely damaged, these small warships were under the cover of the Southern Chu army's warships, like wolves tore the Yongjun's warships, from time to time to see the warships of the two armies were sunken in the river, and the soldiers who fell into the water had almost no possibility of being saved, because the enemy's arrows would ruthlessly shoot through their bodies, the river was stained with blood, and the wreckage of the warship flowed eastward along the river. Dayong's navy had given up the possibility of victory, and only tightly defended the water village to prevent the Southern Chu army from breaking through. The Southern Chu army was a little helpless before the water village, and although the Yong army's infantry and cavalry could not fight in the water, it was still possible to shoot arrows in the dry village. Seeing that the battle situation could only be stalemate like this, Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief, he had no intention of defeating the Southern Chu Naval Army, he was not surprised by such a result, as long as the Southern Chu Naval Army could not ascend to Guazhou, then the situation would not change much.

At the end of the Shen period, the remnant sun was like blood, the clouds were dense, and the cold wind gradually became cold, but the Southern Chu army became more and more courageous, and there was no intention of retreating, Pei Yun was uneasy in his heart. At this moment, on the Jiangxinlou boat, Lu Can received a military report, closed the military report, Lu Can's eyes showed a bright light, and he said loudly: "Gentlemen, Huaixi is a great victory, our army has broken the Yong army, beheaded nearly 30,000 people, captured 4,000 Yong troops, and beheaded the enemy general Dong Shan." Everyone on the boat listened, they all cheered loudly, the sound became louder and louder, the news spread all over the Southern Chu Navy as if it had grown wings, almost all the soldiers were cheering and pounced on the Yongjun Water Village, one after another, the encouragement of Huaixi's victory, so that they did not care about life and death. Their cheers confused the soldiers of the Yongjun army, but they could only stubbornly resist the attack of the Southern Chu army. After a little half an hour, the clouds are thicker, the sunset is already difficult to see, the sky and the earth are gloomy, the Southern Chu army after a day of hard fighting, the offensive has gradually weakened, the Yongjun army is in good spirits, knowing that as long as this attack is repelled, the battle should be over today.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, cheers came from the Southern Chu army again, the Yongjun army was shocked, looked around, and a Yongjun sergeant suddenly pointed to the west and shouted: "The enemy has reinforcements." "Anyone who heard it looked to the west, and saw that where the sky and the water meet, the building and the stern of the boat that covered the river were coming to Guazhou. The news of the arrival of the Southern Chu reinforcements spread quickly like a cold wind, and the generals of the Yongjun army looked at it with great eyes, and those boats were getting closer and closer, and they could almost see the faces of the Southern Chu soldiers standing on it, but the flags on the ships were blown by the strong wind, and the handwriting on them could not be seen clearly. But Pei Yun suddenly understood in his heart that in addition to the Jiangxia camp, where could there be such a huge naval army in Nanchu. To fight, or not to fight, a resolute look flashed in Pei Yun's eyes, and he said loudly: "Prepare to fight!" ”

At the time of the nightfall, the Jiangxia camp rushed to Guazhou, and began a fierce attack on the Yongjun land and water village, the addition of the new force, so that the fate of the Yongjun fell into an unknowable darkness, at this moment, the strength of the day was accumulated, and the flying snow finally fell to the river, the snow night was cold, the building was shipped, and the blood of the war was drawn, and it was drawn into the most gorgeous picture.

When Lu Can stood on the ship, he looked at the retreating Yongjun, and finally showed a relieved smile, and couldn't help but look at the Huaixi Military Newspaper in his hand.

"The young general took the lead, fought bravely, won the hearts of the Huaixi army and the people, and joined forces with Xiu'er to kill Dong Shan, although he was quite juvenile, so that he was in danger, but the general had a son like a dragon and a tiger, which was the luck of Southern Chu and the luck of the Lu family."

On November 22, in the early morning, the Huaidong Yong army was finally defeated on the whole line, Pei Yun led the white-clothed battalion to personally break the back, and the Southern Chu army recaptured Yangzhou. However, the situation in Huaidong still did not change for the better, Luo Louzhen's tyranny in Huaidong made the Huaidong civilians lack trust in Southern Chu, so Pei Yun was able to retreat to Chuzhou and Sizhou, although other prefectures and counties were recovered by the Southern Chu army, but the Yong army still held the frontier town of the invasion of Huaidong. Although Southern Chu won two great victories, the troops also suffered heavy losses, so Lu Can had to leave the general to guard Yangzhou and strangle Guangling, which became a confrontation between the two armies in Huaidong. In Huaixi, although the Southern Chu army took the opportunity to recover Zhongli, Cui Jue retreated to Suzhou, and Huaixi's army was insufficient to further threaten Xuzhou.

Longsheng seven years of the Great Yongnan Expedition, both sides have lost more than 100,000 soldiers, barely can be said to be a draw, Southern Chu defeated miserably, Yongjun defeated, Huaidong important towns Chuzhou, Sizhou fell, it was the Yong army that had the upper hand, but Pei Yun was pinned down in the Huaidong battlefield, the Southern Chu Huaixi Army could attack Suzhou and Xuzhou controlled by Dayong at any time, and here it was Southern Chu who had the upper hand. The greatest benefit of this battle is the Southern Chu general Lu Can, who regained the military power of Huaidong, Huaixi and Guazhou two great victories, so that Lu Can's reputation is like Zhongtian, and the Southern Chu military has only one voice since then, and it is not difficult to stabilize Jianghuai, and then there is no hope for the Dayong Southern Expedition, and the world is about to fall into a stalemate between the north and the south.
