Xiling is the first gateway of the Yangtze River defense line, although now Yong'an is still controlled in the hands of Wu State, but it has been besieged by the Han army for a long time, and it cannot contain the purpose of the Han army's eastward advance, so Xiling has always been the status of the first fortress of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles has not changed.

However, for the Han army, Yongan has not been able to accept it, but it is like a stalk in the throat, unable to spit it out, and unable to swallow, which is really uncomfortable.

For a long time, Ji Han's direction of using troops has been to the north, and now it has occupied seventy percent of the world's land, but this small Yong'an has not been subdued, as if it has become a speck of dust stained on Ji Han's Huanghuang achievements, although it is insignificant, but it makes people look uncomfortable.

As for the new Yizhou assassin Wang Jun, the subjugation of Yong'an is not just a matter of face, but a key factor related to the success of the great cause of defeating Wu, so after Wang Jun arrived in Yizhou, in addition to paying close attention to the construction of the water army, the first point of consideration is how to subdue Yong'an and open the door to the east.

This time, Wang Jun served as the assassin of Yizhou, not simply to be a feudal magistrate, he came with a special mission.

The Han army has long been committed to the development of infantry and cavalry, and there is almost a blank for the navy, and now the north is pacified, and if you want to dominate the world, you must conquer Wu, and there is a prerequisite for the conquest of Wu, that is, you must form a Ji Han navy that can compete with the Wu navy.

At this time, Wang Jun was appointed to serve as the general of Yizhou Assassin and Long Xiang, precisely because of Liu Yin's arrangement. Fu Yan is the governor of Pingnan, controlling the people of the southern line, presiding over the overall situation of the southern line, and after Wang Jun arrived in Yizhou, he naturally listed the preparation of the naval army and the construction of warships as the top priority.

The original Chengdu of Yizhou, at that time, Shu Han was only one state, and most of the Yizhou assassins were held by the prime minister or the great Sima general, which was a kind of fictitious position, but now the situation is different, Ji Han's power has expanded to more than a dozen states, and the honorary title of Yizhou assassin history has also become a real position. The current Yizhou Prefecture is in Luo County, but Wang Jun did not stay in Luo County, but went to Ba County and moved the Yizhou Governance Office to Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is adjacent to the Yangtze River, the waterway is smooth, is the most ideal place as a naval base, after Wang Jun arrived in Jiangzhou, he immediately began to recruit naval troops, build ships, and put up the banner of the Jihan naval army.

In this area of Jiangzhou, there are not a few fishermen who live in the Yangtze River, they are familiar with water, and it is more appropriate for Wang Jun to recruit sailors among these fishermen. After these fishermen became sailors, they were proficient in water and boating, and they already had the initial quality of a sailor, but they only lacked experience in water warfare.

Before Sun Xiu was transferred to Sanhan, he had been serving as the head of the naval army, responsible for commanding the training affairs of the navy.

Training for a thousand days, it is better to use the army for a while, only actual combat is the only criterion for testing the combat strength of the army, Wang Jun wants to try the water army, this knife is not good, you have to find a place to open the knife.

And Yongan is undoubtedly the best choice.

Since the Wu army marched west to Yizhou to occupy Yong'an, it has been twelve or thirteen years since Yong'an was lost, and the Han army recaptured other occupied areas, but Yong'an, but it has been firmly controlled by the Wu army.

It's not that the Han army doesn't want to recover Yong'an, but in fact, on the contrary, the Han army is very eager to recover Yong'an. Yong'an is the eastern gateway of the entire Yizhou, the loss of Yong'an, so that the eastern part of Yizhou is the gateway is wide open, this is undoubtedly a taboo for soldiers, Jiang Wei has been trying to recover Yong'an after recovering Jiangzhou.

It is a pity that Yong'an's steep majesty made the Han army stop in front of the pass and could not advance an inch, although Jiang Wei tried to attack Yong'an many times, but finally gave up because of the tight defense of Yong'an City.

The loss of Yong'an has always made the Shu people angry, but with the continuous expansion of Ji Han's territory, the Han army occupies a large territory in Xiangyang and Huaibei, bordering the border of Wu, Yong'an has gradually become insignificant from the original choke point between Wu and Shu.

However, this insignificance is for the state of Wu, especially after the defeat of the army in the Central Plains, the state of Wu was under great pressure in the defense of Jingzhou and the Huai River, and due to the decline of national strength, the state of Wu has now lost the ability to counterattack Ji Han, and the role of Yong'an as a bridgehead for attacking Yizhou has long been greatly weakened.

But on the other hand, for the Han army, Yong'an is more important, he is the gateway to Sichuan, the Han army is growing stronger and stronger in Jiangzhou, sooner or later it is going to jump out of the cage, and Yong'an is a pass in front of them, only by breaking through Yong'an, the Han army can go down the river and go straight to Jianye.

Therefore, Wang Jun decided to use troops against Yong'an, to lead training with battles, and to test the training results of the Ji Han Navy in the past two years. Under the personal command of Wang Jun, the Jihan naval army, composed of thousands of warships, set out from Jiangzhou and went east along the Yangtze River to Yong'an.

Guarding Yong'an is Wu general Sun Teng, Sun Teng is also a member of the Wu family, his grandfather Sun Yang is the younger brother of the emperor Sun Quan, who followed Sun Quan in his early years, and later became the governor of the state. Sun Teng inherited the title of his father, and was appointed as the governor of Yong'an this time, guarding Yong'an, which can be regarded as being valued by Sun Hao, the lord of Wu.

In the past, the Han army attacked Yong'an, Sun Teng was completely disdainful, because every time the Han army attacked Yong'an, it was launched by land, and with the strength and danger of Yong'an City, no matter how many men and horses the Han army sent, it would be useless, even if Yong'an was surrounded by the Han army by land, the Wu army stationed in Yong'an could also get supplies from the waterway, so even if the Han army carried out a long-term siege of Yong'an, it could not shake the defense of Yong'an.

But this time it was different, the Han army dispatched sailors and horses, and if supplemented by land soldiers and horses, they could form a flank attack on Yong'an City from both land and water, so that the situation would become grim.

Sun Teng only had an army defending the city, and there were no naval ships, so it was difficult to deal with the attack of the Han army's naval army, so he ordered to hold Yong'an on the one hand, and sent people to urgently ask for help from Cen An, the governor of Xiling, and asked him to send a naval army to rescue.

When the news reached Xiling, Cen An was taken aback, the Han people have always been powerful with infantry cavalry, when will the Han people have a naval army, and if they don't make a move, they will have thousands of warships, which is really a big deal.
