Chapter 504

Zhao Yun is a general who is both civil and military!

The situation is not as complicated as imagined, countless water thieves always have to eat and drink Lazar when they get together, right? It was impossible to hide forever, so Zhao Yun, with the help of the Kyushu Commercial Bank and the Dragon and Tiger Second Group, found the gathering place of the water thieves along the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At first, the situation was really not very good, even if the water thief was found, but Zhao Yun couldn't make the water thief obedient, right? You must know that although most of these water thieves are fugitives who have been in the case for many years, most of them have the figure of the gate lord clan after that.

It is also conceivable that if there is not enough manpower behind the water thieves, how can they easily entrench themselves in Dongting Lake, even if Sun Jian has a headache for them? The culprit of this is the Gate Lords clan!

As the saying goes, as long as there are enough benefits, then everything is not a problem!

The same is true of the gate lord clan, although most of these nobles seem to be upright people, and many of them are members of the imperial court, but who has no dirty behavior in private? For example, the Yuan clan back then was inextricably linked to the demise of the Dou clan in the early days of the Ling Emperor.

Can it be said that Yuan is innocent? Even if Liu Tai is not sure at the moment, because all the evidence has been destroyed, and Yuan Shao cannot take the initiative to admit it, of course, the Dou family is just an example, and those families that have been destroyed cannot be counted at all.

In this case, it is conceivable that if the gate valve wants to eradicate the opponent, it is impossible for him to come forward himself, right? Therefore, it is a very normal means to raise the dead and even buy outlaws, and the water thieves in Dongting Lake are originally fatal, aren't they outlaws? As long as they are given enough benefits, let alone being water thieves, they don't care even if they are officers and soldiers

In order to be able to subdue the water thief, Zhao Yun can only transform into a water thief first!

Obviously, with Zhao Yun's skills and the assistance of the Dragon and Tiger Second Group, it is difficult for Zhao Yun to be a mere water thief, and Zhao Yun entered the water thief gathering place with the identity of the leader of the water thieves, and with super force, he naturally easily subdued countless water thieves.

But these water thieves will not be so easy to submit, so a series of stories between Zhao Yun and the water thieves must be told, of course, in the end, Zhao Yun still subdued most of the water thieves, and with the assistance of a small number of water masters of the Tianci Army, he eliminated some disobedient forces, and finally brought the water thieves into his hands.

With the help of the water thieves, it is not so difficult to cross the river and attack the four counties of Jingnan, but no difficulty does not mean that there is no difficulty. What is a water thief? A group of bandits who are not systematically trained, but on the south bank of Dongting Lake, there are tens of thousands of sailors in Jingnan who are ready to fight! It is conceivable that if Zhao Yun wants to defeat the Jingnan Army only with the help of the water thieves, it is obviously a fool's dream, and the role of the water thieves for the Tianci Army is at most transportation, and there is not enough combat power at all, at least it cannot be compared with the well-trained Jingnan Army, let alone the Tianci Army.

Of course, Zhao Yun just wanted to use the water thief ship as a transport, Zhao Yun believed that as long as the Tianci army could reach the south shore of Dongting Lake, it would definitely be able to defeat the alliance between the Sun clan and the princes with a thunderous force! Why? Because according to the information provided by the second group of dragons and tigers, Sun Jian, who retreated to Changsha, was already preparing to continue to go south, as long as Sun Jian left, the elite of Jingnan would inevitably leave, and how could the gate lord clan resist the heaven-sent army at that time?

In fact, since the launch of the third southern expedition of the Tianci Army, the princes everywhere have a very tacit understanding, and they will definitely not compete with the Tianci Army head-on, and they will not do the thing of eggs smashing stones!!

And the Sun clan's evasion will naturally make the remaining gate lord clan unable to raise the mind of resistance, and as long as the Tianci army wins a strong victory, then the four counties of Jingnan will inevitably fall into the hands of Zhao Yun effortlessly!

What bothers Zhao Yun the most is not the four counties of Jingnan, but Jiaozhou! The geographical situation of Jiaozhou is no worse than that of Yizhou.

And the attack on Yizhou with 180,000 Tianci troops combined with Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Wen Chou, and Dongfang Jue still took five years to complete, so Zhao Yun naturally did not dare to despise Jiaozhou!

What's even more helpless is that the Sun family doesn't seem to be willing to give up Jiaozhou, because the geography of Jiaozhou is too good, as long as it occupies Jiaozhou, then there is no problem for Sun to establish himself as the king at all, and if he loses Jiaozhou, then Sun will be completely removed from the princes of Middle Earth, even if Tianxi is the king and hegemon? It's never Middle-earth!

Of course, this kind of thinking is not only the Sun family, Yuan Shao and other princes have it, but they are forced to be helpless, after all, compared with death, it is obvious that the vast majority of people will choose the supreme right, which is the original surname that is difficult for people to change.

In 198 in China, in mid-May, the Tianci army swept the entire territory of the county, and the era of the gate lord clan was completely destroyed.

And because of Liu Tai's order, the follow-up troops also rushed to the junction of Shanyue and the Huijia Army to meet Cao Ying, after all, the Shanyue departments are not vegetarian, in the past Liu Bei's general Xiang Yun took nearly five years to completely suppress the Shanyue departments, and it was difficult for Cao Ying to achieve success in a short period of time.

In the same month, the Tianci army advanced into the Wu County area, and the gate lord clan carried out the final desperate resistance, and some families who did not have the confidence to resist left Wu County with clan ships and fled to Yizhou.

At the same time, the situation in Yizhou also changed, and Huang Zhong, the commander of the Western Expedition, ordered the 180,000 Tianci army to be divided into three divisions and advance into the Yinan region, with Dian Wei as the leader on the right, Wen Chou as the leader on the left, Huang Zhong himself as the leader in the middle, and Zhang Liao as the deputy general as the assistant.

Three divisions of 60,000 troops each, of which the right is based on Hanjia County as the breakthrough point, and the left is based on Zhuti County as the breakthrough point, and the Chinese army Huang Zhong attacked Qianwei and directly captured Yunnan County, the capital of Gongsun Zhan. Huang Zhong believes that as long as Yunnan is broken, Gongsun Zhanjun will definitely have no power to resist, and then Jianning's Gongsun Du will naturally no longer resist, after all, Liu Tai is also Gongsun Du's son-in-law!

In 198, on May 18, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the generals of the Navy Division, were ordered to go to sea to pursue the fleeing ships of the Gate Lords. This order came from Liu Tai, originally Liu Tai didn't care about the departure of the gate lord clan, but when he knew the situation in Wu County and other places, he was immediately furious!

Why?

These gate lord clan left and left, but in order to make the last penny, they actually looted the people, you know, there is no surplus food in the hands of the people, and they were robbed by the gate lord clan, then it will be even more desolate, if it is not for the timely response of the heavenly army, at least tens of thousands of people will starve to death because of the looting of the gate lord clan!

How could Liu Tai not be angry?

According to the arrangement, these two sailors should have been on the way to Jingnan, but Liu Tai's withering order, the fleet had to return, and because of the departure of the fleet, the Jingnan campaign could only rely on Zhao Yun and the water thief troops in his hands.

The difficulty suddenly increased several times! However, this is also expected by Liu Tai, after all, the Sun family is not easy to deal with, and I heard that in order to deal with the southward movement of the Tianci army, Zhou Yu of the Tianxi battlefield also sneaked back to Changsha, if Zhou Yu commands the sailors to fight, then Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, the two old subordinates of Zhou Yu in history, may really suffer a big loss!

Liu Tai doesn't do the business that suffers losses!

Therefore, the Jingnan Battle can only be delayed temporarily, as long as the Yangzhou problem is solved, are you still afraid that the Jingnan Sun clan will be able to jump for a long time?

In 198, in early June, the Jiangdong Army of Wu County withdrew, and the Tianci Army forcibly invaded Wu County, and the entire Yangzhou area completely fell into the hands of Liu Tai.

The unification of Yangzhou also represents the land of the twelve states in the world, leaving only Jingnan, Yinan, and Jiaozhou regions, as long as the three places are subdued, then the great task of unifying the world will be completely completed. Of course, Liu Tai's achievements are not only that, you must know that now Mengzhou, Longzhou, and Xizhou are actually Han soils, which is equivalent to adding three states on the basis of the original twelve states!

And it's three continents! It is conceivable that even if Liu Tai does not act after dominating the world, his exploits will be recorded in history and will be remembered for eternity!

In 198 years in China, the headquarters of the Tianci Army stationed in Jiangxia in mid-June began to move, and the target of this trip was Changsha County, Jiangxia and Changsha were not much away, even if they could reach Changsha by land, such as today's Ci Army Sailor has gone to sea to chase and suppress the fleeing gate lord clan, and the Tianci Army can only go by land.

Liu Tai himself did not go to Changsha County, but went to Danyang, and Liu Tai went with 3,000 Jinyi guards to protect him, and many other generals and military divisions all went to Changsha.

Liu Tai's goal is Moling City, the capital of Jiangdong, which is known as the Stone City in history, Liu Tai still wants to see it, after all, the battle of Yangzhou, Liu Tai can almost be said to have not participated, but just sat in the rear.

It stands to reason that the Battle of Jingnan is related to the overall unification, and Liu Tai, as the Northern Emperor, should divide the weight, as long as the world is unified, are you afraid that you will not have time to travel to various places?

In fact, in Liu Tai's plan, he would at least wait until all the four counties of Jingnan had fallen before going to the Jiaozhou battlefield, because Liu Tai understood that the Jiaozhou battlefield was the place where the Sun clan and the Tianci army finally played. Of course, the Sun family can also give up Jiaozhou and completely retreat to the Tianxi region, but if that's the case, it won't be Sun Jian's style.

It makes sense that Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and now Jiangdong is still Liu Tai's territory, and Sun Jian's second hometown Changsha does not seem to be far away, Sun Jian can hold his breath in his heart! Which overlord could endure having his homeland taken away twice?

Sun Jian's arrogance is unimaginable.

Defeating Liu Tai, Sun Jian never thought about it, after all, it was absolutely unrealistic, but Sun Jian couldn't tolerate Liu Tai himself without participating in the war at all, and defeated the Jingnan Army and the Jiangdong Army!

In this way, doesn't it mean that Sun Jian is not even worthy of Liu Tai's subordinates?

Sun Jian is not convinced, he is really unconvinced! Originally, according to Sun's original plan, the four counties of Jingnan were to give up, retreat into the Cangwu area, and rely on the passes around Cangwu to defend the Tianci army to the south, but due to Sun Jian's temporary changes, most of the Jingnan army stayed in Changsha, and the sailors who had already turned into pawns stepped on the warship again!

Sun Jian is ready to fight, even if he loses, he has to fight with dignity.

And because of this, Zhou Yu, who was in Tianxi, was also recalled to Changsha, originally Sun Ce also planned to return to Changsha with the army, and now Sun Ce has an army of 200,000 under his command, which can be described as extremely strong, plus the original army stationed in Jingnan and Jiaozhou, Sun has the qualifications to fight with the Tianci army!

But Sun Jian did not agree to Sun Ce's proposal.

Why?

Because although Sun Jian was angry, he also knew very well that from now on, the land of Tianxi was the foundation of the Sun family, and if Jingnan fought like this, the soldiers and horses of Tianxi would never move, and that was the place where the Sun family would rise again, how could Sun Jian not know the severity?

However, Sun Ce did not return to Changsha, and Zhou Yu's return also made Sun Jian very satisfied. Sun Jian is very satisfied with Zhou Yu's cheap nephew, because of the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, so there is no jealousy between the two sides at all.

All-rounder! Zhou Yu is an all-rounder!

Now the situation in Changsha is also obvious, the Tianci army has no ability to fight in water, but the strength is superior to the Jingnan army. However, the Jingnan Army is the best in the world in terms of water warfare, but it is weaker in terms of troops.

Therefore, if the Jingnan Army wants to recover the situation, it must work the water war, and Zhou Yu happens to be the elite commander of the water war.
