Chapter 605 Huarong Dao
"Shiyang Hanyang Wuling, Jingling, either the city was easily breached, or it was to look at the wind and fall, it was effortless at all, in addition to getting Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, the Yangzhou Navy got half of the Jiangnan County of Jingzhou, and the eight counties of Jingzhou in the hands of the Yangzhou Army already have two and a half counties, if you add the previous Nanyang County, it is three and a half counties, almost half of Jingzhou's territory.
It seems that the whole situation is very good, but only Lu Xun knows the hardships of this.
"What's wrong with General Lu?; Bad complexion? But not adaptable? "Huo Jun and others were able to enter Jingling, Jingling City had already surrendered, and the Yangzhou Army issued a notice to calm the people, so Jingling City can be regarded as peaceful.
In Jingling City, the original Taishou Mansion has become Lu Xun's meeting hall.
Lu Xun was looking at the map with a sad face.
The problem of water and soil dissatisfaction is not big or small, because there have been many generals who died in battle because of water and soil dissatisfaction, and even led to the defeat of a war or the destruction of the country or the loss of the family, so Huo Jun was particularly concerned.
"Hehe, I've lived in the land of Jingchu for so long, if I didn't adapt to the water and soil, I would have been unaccustomed to the water and soil a long time ago, and I still want to do it now?" Lu Xun shook his head, how could the people in the land of Jingchu not adapt to the water and soil, if you let Lu Xun go to the north, it would be possible to be unaccustomed to the water and soil.
"And the general are you?" Huo Jun was a little puzzled, because the ugly look on Lu Xun's face was basically something that anyone could see.
"Oh! It's the result of a sleepless night yesterday! Lu Xun looked at the bronze mirror, and then he knew the haggard on his face.
"The general didn't sleep all night?" Huo Jun on the side was puzzled.
"yes!" Lu Xun nodded: "Zhong Miao, come and see!" Lu Xun took out the map, pointed to the direction on the map, and said to Huo Jun.
"Gangneung?" Huo Jun saw a place that Lu Xun had marked.
"That's right! It's Gangneung! Lu Xun nodded: "Zhong Miao, do you know why we gave up Jiangdong and sent troops to Jingzhou!" β
"In order to be able to concentrate on defeating Jingzhou and taking Jingzhou!" Huo Jun replied that the Yangzhou Navy now has a total of 40,000 people. Once separated, there are only 20,000 on one side. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate on attacking one side.
"Zhong Miao, you're only half right!" Lu Xun said to Huo Jun: "It is true that we are here to concentrate our strength to attack one side. But instead of attacking Jiangdong, we chose Jingzhou, because Jingzhou is much richer than Jiangdong! β
"Aren't we overwhelmed now? After breaking Shiyang Hanyang Wuling, what does the general have to grudge against! Huo Jun didn't understand even more, they were in a kind of morale rush now.
"Hehe, ten Shiyang Hanyang can't compare to a city!" Lu Xun nodded to the place on the map again. That's Gangneung.
"Although our army is strong now, but Jingzhou has a high heritage after all, if you give him a year and a half rest, maybe soon a Jingzhou naval army will emerge on the Yangtze River again!"
"What if it happens again! It's not like we're going to lose to our new ships! The captain on the side said that his words were recognized by many sailors, and the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy was recognized. That's against the current building ship, and there is no problem with one dozen or five, so Huo Jun and they are all envious of the fact that they can get this kind of warship when they are above.
"Hehe, although that's what I said, but that is also to Liu Biao's navy to take the initiative to attack, what if the Jingzhou navy retreats in the port and doesn't come out?" Once the Jingzhou Navy is shrunk in the water army camp, then the new warships of the Yangzhou Navy will not be of much use, after all, you also have to take on the side battle, and in the end this is a war of attrition. Although Yangzhou is strong now, it can't consume Jingzhou, and even if it consumes the Yangzhou army, it will be abolished.
"And now we are going to strike at Jingzhou's heritage, so that they no longer have huge potential. More consumable than we are, they can build hundreds of warships. And we can't do this kind of deal, if we fight one less ship! And the essence of destroying the enemy is to break through this place, Gangneung! Jiangling is the most prosperous place in Jingzhou South County, and it also belongs to Jingzhou's companion capital, not to mention that there are 100,000 people, but also have sufficient grain, grass and money, according to incomplete statistics, the inventory of a city in Jiangling can form a 100,000 scale of soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass in the city can supply the 100,000 soldiers and horses for two years."
"100,000 soldiers and horses for two years?" Huo Jun gasped, he always knew that the former owner Liu Biao was very rich, but he didn't expect that there would be money to this Cheng dΓΉ, this Jiangling is just a companion capital, and he can form an army of 100,000, if this is in the mansion of Xiangyang, can he form an army of 300,000 sailors.
"So we have to take Jiangling, and get the strength of Jiangling's Yangzhou army to further consolidate, and another is to destroy the foundation of Jingzhou, so that they can recuperate and feed the always huge fleet even if they prepare for another three or five years! In this way, Jingzhou will become a lamb to the slaughter! β
"Then send troops to Gangneung immediately! What's the use of being sad here! "Huo Jun was originally a person with a calm personality, and he was generally a step-by-step person, but now he was moved by Lu Xun's words, and he wanted to take Jiangling.
"Gangneung is so broken, but this road is difficult to walk!" Lu Xun shook his head helplessly, if he could go to attack immediately, he still needed Huo Jun to say, Lu Xun had already sent troops, but now the troops are good to send out, but this road is not good, there is a very famous place in front of Jiangling, which is called Huarong Dao. It's a huge swamp after a swamp, and if no one shows you the way, then congratulations, this swamp will be your burial place.
Even those who have lived here for decades have only figured out a one, two, or a few miles. Others don't know at all.
If you can't pass Huarong Dao, then naturally you won't be able to hit Jiangling, there is an extra curse in front of this Jiangling. This is what Lu Xun is worried about.
"Swamps? Let me take a look! Huo Jun wanted to see clearly how this Huarong Dao was, and soon took hundreds of soldiers to Huarong Dao, that is, half a day's kung fu, and soon Huo Jun came back, this time back, Huo Jun was a wolf, only a few dozen people came back, and asked the reason It turned out that the other nearly 100 people couldn't come back, and they were swallowed up by that terrifying swamp, just a blink of an eye, Huo Jun didn't react in time and add his force, I'm afraid he would have fallen into it.
"General, the last general is ashamed of the general!" Huo Jun's face was all blushing, when did he Huo Jun suffer such a big loss.
"Hey, don't blame Zhong Miao for this!" Lu Xun shook his head helplessly, could it be that this Huarong Dao really can't get by!
"Report! Report to the general, there is a white-clothed scribe outside the door asking to see you! (To be continued......)
