In Huaxia 198, at the beginning of July, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Right Army, ordered 30,000 forward troops of the Tianci Army to cross the river with the pirate fleet. www.biquge.info No matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult it is, we must break the defense line of the Jingnan Army!

The battle of crossing the river was not to capture Changsha County, but to seize a temporary garrison in the vicinity of Luo County, Changsha County, and to meet the headquarters of the Tianci Army heading south. In Zhao Yun's opinion, as long as he can seize a place in Changsha County, when the headquarters of the Tianci Army has all crossed Dongting Lake, the end of the Jingnan Army will come, and then Sun Jian will have to retreat if he does not retreat! Zhao Yun's idea is indeed to fight, as long as he takes root on the south bank of Dongting Lake, with the combat power of the heaven-sent army, it is not something that the Jingnan army can resist at all, but the question is, will Zhou Yu make it so easy for Zhao Yun?

In fact, Zhao Yun's safest way is to let Jiang Xia give the army to attack Changsha County together when the Chinese army arrives. There is no natural danger gap between Jiangxia and Changsha, and the Tianci Army can completely suppress and beat the Jingnan Army, even if Zhou Yu has the wisdom of the sky, it is useless in the face of absolute power! But Zhao Yun doesn't see it that way!

Imagine that Gao Shun, the general of the Left Route Army, has now unified Jiangdong, but Zhao Yun, the general of the Right Route Army, has only captured only one place in Nanjun, how can this kind of record be put on the table? Even if Zhao Yun's surname is peaceful, he can't stand the rumors that are about to appear!

As soon as the army moved, it naturally couldn't hide from the Sun family in Changsha.

And Zhou Yu, who was in Changsha, also clarified Zhao Yun's thoughts for the first time, Zhao Yun didn't want to attack any water village at present, but just grabbed a place on the south bank, such an action naturally made Zhou Yu a little embarrassed.

Since it is the vanguard army that has seized the place, it is naturally impossible to be the most elite unit of the right route army of the Tianci Army, and what Zhou Yu currently has to consider is not only the Tianci army on the north bank, but also the middle part of the Tianci army that Jiangxia can reach at any time.

Zhou Yu is very embarrassed, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!

However, Sun Jian, who is the lord of Jingnan, found Zhou Yu and told Zhou Yu that he did not need to worry about the current situation, because most of the strategic materials that could be mobilized in the four counties of Jingnan, as well as the people who could be migrated, were brought to Jiaozhou, and the entire four counties of Jingnan could be used as a battlefield, so why care about the gains and losses of Changsha County?

And this battle is just to fight for the Jingnan army, Sun Jian never thought that he could keep the four counties of Jingnan without losing, so Zhou Yu doesn't have to worry too much about how to hold Changsha, when necessary, the Sun family can even give up the rear Jiaozhou, let alone the four counties of Jingnan?

Zhou Yu understood, listened to Sun Jian's words, if he didn't understand what Sun Jian meant, then it wouldn't be Zhou Yu.

After understanding the meaning, Zhou Yu immediately began to dispatch troops, not only gave up the garrison of Xiajun, but even transferred all the soldiers and horses of Changsha County to the south. As for Zhou Yu himself, he led 50,000 sailors into Dongting Lake!

Why?

Because Zhou Yu understood the gap between the two sides, the only thing that the Jingnan Army could cause losses to the Tianci Army was the weakness of the Tianci Army, and it was obviously unwise to arrange a large number of infantry on land, so Zhou Yu withdrew all the soldiers and horses of Changsha County south with Sun Jian's consent.

Under the command of Sun Jian, these 50,000 troops can not only fight in the four counties of Jingnan, but also retreat to Jiaozhou to defend, everything is left to Sun Jian himself to decide, and only Zhou Yu's 50,000 sailors will fight the decisive battle with the Tianci army!

The soldiers are in danger!

You must know that any part of the Heaven-given Army has more than 100,000 troops, and how difficult is it for a mere 50,000 sailors to survive among the hundreds of thousands of Heaven-sent Army? And according to reliable sources, the Tianci army fleet that went to sea was already on the way back, and if it was surrounded by the Tianci army fleet, then Zhou Yu would really die.

In the same month, the central army broke into Jiangxia County, occupied Xiajun County, and the troops pointed directly at Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha!

The temporary commander of the central army is Lu Zhi, a veteran general in the late Han Dynasty, and Lu Zhi's military attainments naturally need not be said, and Lu Zhi is in charge of command, and no one can put forward an opinion. After all, before the birth of the Tianci Army, Lu Zhi was the real Optimus Pillar of the Han Dynasty, how many people had not heard of Lu Zhi's prestige?

However, Lu Zhi's health has been very bad recently, after all, he is old, Liu Tai originally did not plan to let Lu Zhi go with the army, in case the old man is gone, how can Liu Tai explain to Lu Zhi's family? But Lu Zhi's old temper has come up, even if Liu Tai is the Northern Emperor, he is helpless!

You must know that in Huacheng, Lu Zhi's group of old people are all above Liu Tai, if Liu Yan is not there, it will be fine, but Liu Yan is here, Liu Tai naturally values the opinions of the older generation such as Lu Zhi, so Liu Tai can't help but feel a little constrained in many things.

Of course, no one dares to make Liu Tai unhappy on big things, even Liu Yan, the father of the Northern Emperor. Liu Yan also knows very well that if he really annoys Liu Tai, then don't talk about his father, even if the noodles of the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not sold, Liu Yan will not do anything to disgrace himself.

Lu Zhi naturally went out with the army, and his status was naturally not low, in Liu Tai's arrangement, Lu Zhi was the deputy marshal of the Chinese army, that is, the same position as Cao Ying, originally Cao Ying did not go to membership, and the position of the temporary marshal naturally fell on Lu Zhi's head, but as soon as Cao Zhi left, no one would compete with Lu Zhi for this position.

Lu Zhi sat in the middle of the route army, the army was strong south, and there was still a little resistance in the northern part of Changsha, but when he heard that the commander was Lu Zhi, the god of war of the Han Dynasty in the past, countless Changsha officials of the older generation suddenly opened the city and surrendered, even if some local gate lords in Changsha County were very well-behaved in front of Lu Zhi, it can be seen that the position of the older generation in the hearts of the gate lords is not lower than Liu Tai, the northern emperor.

After successfully recovering the northern part of Changsha, the next task of the Central Route Army was naturally to converge with Zhao Yun's troops, but just when Lu Zhi ordered the army to set off, a bad news suddenly came from the northwest!!

The Tianci Army suffered heavy losses in Dongting Lake! Half of the 30,000 Tianci troops fell into the belly of the fish, and the remaining half became Zhou Yu's prisoners, and several generals in Northern Xinjiang did not know whether they were alive or dead! Shocking news!!

No one could have imagined that the situation would change like this, and such a big loss had never happened since the formation of the Heavenly Army! But no matter how bad it is, the top brass of the Tianci Army always has to face it.

Now that Liu Tai is not in the army, the position of Lu Zhi, the deputy marshal of the Chinese army, is naturally above all the high-level leaders of the three armies, even if Lu Zhi's own position is not more than a three-star general.

Lu Zhi ordered that the Central Route Army rush to the south bank of Dongting Lake as soon as possible, block all the shore passes on the south bank, and resolutely not let Zhou Yu send the prisoners into the control of Sun's rear army. The punishment of Zhao Yun, the commander of the Right Route Army, was not up to Lu Zhi to decide, but Lu Zhi still gave Zhao Yun a wither, asking Zhao Yun to block the north bank of Dongting Lake and the major river embankments as soon as possible.

When Zhao Yun received Lu Zhi's order, he had already made all the arrangements. Zhao Yun blamed himself very much, if it wasn't for the fact that he was still fighting at the moment, Zhao Yun might have apologized for his crimes, you know, these 30,000 forward troops are all real veterans of the Tianci Army, but now they are all lost in their own hands, even if they have great credit, it is difficult to make up for it! The most important task now is to rescue the prisoners in the hands of Zhou Yu, otherwise, Zhao Yun's military career will really end here.

Of course, Zhao Yun also punished his mistakes, that is, cutting his hair and acting as the head, and withdrawing his battle armor, putting on a white coat and a scarf, and personally wearing filial piety for the dead soldiers!

Zhao Yun's actions were recognized by some generals, and under Zhao Yun's arrangement, the remnants of the Tianci Army recovered along the river were also received one by one, and from these people, Zhao Yun learned about the development of the war! The story is very complicated, in fact, all the problems are still in the water thieves who are responsible for driving the boats, although most of these water thieves have been subdued by Zhao Yun, but a small number of them have evil intentions, and when the Tianci army was ambushed by the Jingnan Naval Division, they suddenly cut off the connection between the flagship and the surrounding ships! You must know that in ancient water warfare, the role of the flagship was crucial, and without the command of the flagship and making various changes to meet the battle, then a fleet would become completely blind. One can imagine how much damage the Tianci Army fleet suffered after the loss of the flagship.

Fortunately, the Celestial Army is extremely fierce when fighting, even in unfamiliar waters. According to reliable data, although the Tianci army lost more than 15,000, it also brought nearly 20,000 Jingnan sailors to accompany the burial, and the captured Tianci army was only two or three thousand, and most of the rest of the troops retreated to the north bank scatteredly.

But the loss of 15,000 also made Zhao Yun's heart ache!

But Zhao Yun also understood that this was not the time to be impulsive, the most important thing at the moment was to wait for the arrival of the Tianci Army's naval fleet, otherwise, the Tianci Army would not be able to pass the Dongting Lake pass at all, and what if the time came to occupy all the areas of the four counties of Jingnan under the command of Lu Zhi? No one can stand a frathering enemy army in their back garden, right?

Fortunately, the Tianci Army Sailor has already entered the Yangtze River region, and it will be able to reach Dongting Lake in about half a month at most, as long as the Tianci Army Sailor participates in the battle, anyone believes that it is definitely not Zhou Yu's remaining 30,000 Navy fleet can match!

The Heaven-sent Navy Fleet is not comparable to the Pirate Fleet!
