Jingzhou, with the rule of Wu, under the Qingming decree, the vitality began to recover bit by bit, this was originally a large population state, and the development did not have to be inferior to Jiangdong.

Xiangyang City.

Outside the city.

One of the seven military camps of Wu State, Jingzhou Battalion.

In the main army tent, the main general Lu Bupan sat in the first place, with a cold expression and a serious face.

At the top of the left is Shi Tao, chief of staff of the Jingzhou battalion, who has flaunted the position of strategist openly since the first in the army started the model of the chief general with a staff officer.

Staff officers, as military generals and civilians, have made a lot of mess in the army.

However, it is okay in the Jingzhou camp, Shi Tao followed Lu Bu when Lu Bu entered Jingzhou, flooded Ma Chao, became famous in the first battle, and entered the Jingzhou camp, which is also a matter of course, at least not many generals have opinions on him.

In the main tent, in addition to the civil and military generals, there is also a young man who is listening, who is now the governor of Jingzhou, Pang Tong, who is now temporarily saving the entire Jingzhou.

"General, do you have to fight this battle?"

Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu's face, groaned for a while, and asked.

"Gotta fight!"

Lu Bu's deep voice was extremely decisive, and he said coldly: "This battle in Hanzhong is a battle that has been decided at the beginning, and it is also the strategy of the Military Aircraft Department to enter Hanzhong, and the main general can't change it, the reason why the war started in advance is because Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren are too arrogant, they are silent, they have already entered Fangling City, and they are swaggering in front of us, and it is difficult for a certain family not to fight!" ”

Originally, it was planned that he would not enter Hanzhong until July, but now that the Wei army had come to him, he had to send troops.

Otherwise, one step behind, this battle will only be beaten.

Hanzhong is not a strong army. If Jingzhou contributes, it will not be difficult to defeat it, but with the Wei army on the side, the situation will become Wu and Wei fighting for Hanzhong.

The two males competed, coupled with the resistance of Hanzhong, this battle was very troublesome.

"Alas. Now Jingzhou is just so stable, and even a transition period has not passed, and this war has begun, I am afraid that public opinion will be suppressed again! ”

Pang Tong stood in his position, naturally he didn't want to start this battle.

In the past, the First World War was too violent, Jingzhou was almost disabled, and now it has finally developed, and Taiping has only been a year. Moreover, it was affected by the Dawu Reform, and there was no time to stop.

It was not easy to settle down a little, once the Jingzhou battalion sent troops, the new field front would also be affected by the big war, and the relationship between Wu and Wei would be tense at that time, and the soldiers and horses of Nanyang and Nanjun would inevitably shake the hearts of the people.

Of course. Pang Tong's heart is also very clear about the meaning of this battle from above.

Hanzhong. This important region, which is related to the future confrontation in the west, must not fall into the hands of Wei.

"Since the general's mind has been decided, I will go to gather grain and grass for you, and first explain that this is borrowed, and your logistics department will return it!"

Pang Tong stood up. Strode out.

After the Dawu reform, the grain and grass regulated in the army had nothing to do with the locality, it was directly distributed by the center and regulated by the Logistics Department of the Ministry of War.

However, now Lu Bu is fighting this battle urgently, obviously because the Jingzhou battalion is moving too fast. The logistics of the logistics department did not react, so Lu Bu invited him to audit.

The purpose is for him to dispatch a batch of grain and grass from Jingzhou to support the start of this war first.

"Thank you, Pandudu!"

Lu Bu looked at Pang Tong's back, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, after Da Wu changed the law, he had to abide by some rules, so he let Pang Tong listen.

"General, the latest battle report, Cao Ren has already been mediocre, he is going to fight mediocrity!"

A staff officer handed the battle report to Chief of Staff Shi Tao, Shi Tao looked at it, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed it to Lu Bu.

"It's so fast, we can't wait, we have to send troops tomorrow!"

Lu Bu's pupils contracted suddenly.

Shangyong City is a gateway city, which is the only way for Nanyang and Jingzhou to enter Hanzhong, if it is taken by the Wei army first, then the Wu army will be too passive in the later battles.

So no matter what, you have to get ahead of them and win the mediocrity.

"Lu Meng!"

"The last general!"

"What's going on over there in Peicheng?"

Lu Bu looked at the youngest commander of the Jingzhou battalion and asked.

Lü Mengjiedu side, led a cavalry division, two infantry divisions, and guarded Peicheng, he and Zhang Fei Guan Yu came and went over the years, and they were very happy.

is regarded as a rising star in the army, and he is also the most handy general that Lu Bu currently makes.

"General Hui, now there will be no problems in Peicheng in a short period of time, in April, with two divisions of soldiers and horses, left and right, defeated Zhang Yide's 13,000 elites, and he also stopped a lot during this time!" Lu Meng arched his hand and said: "Xiangbi can also stabilize Peicheng for a while, and the general is no more worried about Peicheng!" ”

"Good!"

Lu Bu nodded, Lu Meng still trusted him, he was not very old, but he had an old and spicy style of leading soldiers, he had a young and energetic momentum, and he did not lose his steadyness.

"General Xue, is there a waterway to enter Hanzhong?" Lu Bu asked.

"There are waterways, but there is no waterway to use the navy to enter Hanzhong for the time being!"

Xue Zhou shook his head, the terrain in Hanzhong is staggered, even he can't figure out the city, and the warships of the Wu Navy are suitable for naval navigation, and they are always insufficient for inland rivers.

"Since this is the case, you should make a move and find a way to force the White Emperor City and deter the Shu army!" Lu Budao: "Cover our purpose of entering Hanzhong!" ”

"Understood!"

Xue Zhou nodded, he is now in command of six naval fleets, and he is the only general under Lu Bu in the Jingzhou battalion.

Lu Bu's tiger eyes flashed with a sharp eye, looking at the generals one by one, and only after a half resound: "In the first battle of Hanzhong, a certain general will use the strength of three divisions, the third division and the fourth division of Jingzhou, to gather 22,000 people, and then call the 16th division of Wuxi Man to go north, and they must use them to open the way!" ”

"General, during this time, the 16th Jingzhou Division, the 17th Jingzhou Division, and the 18th Jingzhou Division have already gone south to the Jiaozhou camp?"

Shi Tao frowned and said in a low voice.

The Jiaozhou battalion was going to be stationed in Yizhou County, so it borrowed a few mountain divisions from Wuximan.

The three mountain divisions trained by Shamoke are now very hot in Wu Kingdom, after all, if they are going to fight Xichuan, the mountain divisions will naturally become important.

"The Jiaozhou battalion is just borrowed from the seventeenth division and the eighteenth division!"

When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and said lightly: "But the 16th Division of Jing is still in Wuling, it is estimated that Shamoke is used to guard his hometown, this time he is stationed in Hanzhong, Hanzhong is mountainous, and there must be a mountain division, so even if he is unhappy, he must be lent out!" ”

Shamoke's three mountain divisions, Sun Quan Chrysostom Yuyan, were personally led by him, so if Lu Bu wanted to use them, he could only call them.

"It's not easy for them to leave a division to guard their hometown, will they lend it out?" Shi Tao asked.

"It's time to get it right!"

Lu Bu said coldly: "This general has the right to dispatch all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, but Wuxi Man is still in a state of submission and return, so he must be a little unwilling, but the law county guard should be able to understand the meaning of so-and-so!" ”

"General, a certain wish is the main general!"

At this time, Dong Xi stood up and asked for battle.

Cao Xing guarded Xinye, Lu Meng wanted to watch Peicheng, and the Jingzhou battalion could be the main general, that is, Dong Xi or Chen Wu.

Lu Bu looked at Dong Xian, looked at the calm Chen Wu, and groaned for a while before he said, "Chen Wu!" ”

"The last general!"

"In this battle, you come to lead the troops, pull out the camp tomorrow, within three days, you must arrive at Shangyong, when facing Cao Ren, you have to be careful, this Wei general is not simple!" Lu Bu reminded.

"No!"

Chen Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly bowed down to lead the army's order.

"General!" Dong Xi was a little unwilling.

"When will you be able to calm down, when will General Ben let you be the main general!" Lu Bu glanced at him and said coldly.

Dong Xi is the most optimistic general he is optimistic about, this battle is fierce, but he can't hold his breath, compared to Lu Meng and Chen Wu, the two generals from the professional class, they are still a little wild and unruly.

"Yes!"

Dong Xi was shocked by Lu Bu's breath, and returned to his position a little dejectedly.

"Guangyuan!"

"The last general!"

"Hanzhong Zhang Lu is not simple, and the Wei State is not weak in sending troops, think about it, you still go with Chen Wu, there is one less staff officer, I always feel uneasy!"

Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"No!" Shi Tao nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shangyong City, outside the city.

The army was encamped, the battle flags were flying, the drums were beating, Cao Ren stood in front of the three armies, looking at the high wall of Shangyong City, and there was a touch of awe-inspiring battle intent in his expression.

"Order, as soon as the baggage arrives, attack immediately!" He drank coldly.

"No!"

The herald quickly gave orders to the officers and men of the three armies.

"Who is in the city?" Cao Ren looked at the commander of the scout camp and asked.

From the time the troops were dispatched to the present, the speed was too fast, and the news was a little difficult to keep up, but the scout battalion under his command had a connection with the ghost pawns, so he could naturally know the person who was the main general.

"Yang Bai!"

The scout battalion commander bowed down and replied: "This person is one of the few fierce generals under Zhang Lu, who has been defending the east gate, with 8,000 soldiers and horses under his command, guarding Shangyong City!" ”

"Yang Bai? Eight thousand soldiers? ”

Cao Ren squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "Let's see, how long can you resist!" ”

"General, General Zhang Xiu's baggage has arrived!" An adjutant general walked up and said, "Siege engines, ladders, all in place!" ”

"Okay, Yang Bai, if you meet General Ben, you are not lucky."

Cao Ren's eyes were bright and bright, and he said coldly: "My king is kind and angry to surrender to Zhang Lu, but this Zhang Lu has always dragged his feet and is unwilling to surrender to Wei, so I will first pull out a few of his generals and say, give the order, attack immediately!" ”

"No!"

In the midst of the beating of drums, the Wei army launched a strong attack on Shangyong. (To be continued......)
