At this time, Liu Yin had already arrived in Luo County on the bank of the Miluo River, and from here he transmitted the news to Jiangbei, so there was no need to travel to Jiaozhou Nanzhong across thousands of rivers and mountains. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fu Yan has been waiting for Liu Yin's order in Xiangyang for a long time, and after Liu Yin sent troops south in the first month, Fu Yan has been in Xiangyang, waiting for Liu Yin's news.

The first news to come back was that Liu Yin led the army into Jiaozhou smoothly, and then the transmission of the news had a serious lag, after all, no matter how fast the stagecoach was, it was thousands of miles away, Fu Tong got the last news from the post station was that Liu Yin conquered Panyu and took Nanhai County, and the next day Fu Yan received the news that Liu Yin had arrived at the Luojiang River.

This news passed back through the detailed work hidden in Jiangdong brought the news that Fu He was looking forward to, he was in Xiangyang, has been waiting for half a year, and did not dare to relax for a moment, and now it is finally time to send troops, Fu He can't hold back his excitement, and immediately ordered the other five road people, agreeing to be on the first day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Xingguo, the six road soldiers and horses will go out to attack Wu together.

These six routes of soldiers and horses were arranged by Liu Yin as early as half a year ago, and the personnel, weapons, materials, grain and grass had already been prepared properly, and everything was ready, just waiting for Liu Yin's order.

Although this order was belated, after receiving the order, the soldiers and horses of the Han army were all in high spirits, high morale, and extremely strong desire to fight.

Whether it is a general leading the army, or an ordinary soldier, they all know in their hearts that this will be the last battle that will determine the general trend of the world, and after this battle, it is likely that the four seas will dominate the world from now on, this will undoubtedly be their last battle, and it is also their last chance to obtain military merits, and in the next few decades, it is likely that there will be no more wars, as soldiers, they will also be the last time to fight for the country.

This expedition to Wu will also be the largest number of troops used by Ji Han, and the Seven Route Army will mobilize a total of 280,000 horses, and the military power will be unprecedented.

The first army, led by the former general Huang Chong, led three armies of 45,000 men and horses, marched from Xuzhou Xiapi to Xuzhong; The second route army was led by the later general Jiang Bin and three armies of 45,000 men and horses, marching from Huaibei to Shouchun; The Third Route Army, led by General Zuo Xianhong, marched from Runan to Yiyang; The Fourth Route Army was led by the right general Wang Qi and two armies of 30,000 horses, and marched from Yuzhou to Wuchang; The fifth route was led by the hussar general Fu Tong and marched from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and the sixth route was led by Yizhou Shi Wang Jun with 50,000 sailors and marched from Yongan to Xiling.

The soldiers and horses of the six roads came out together, and the golden iron horse swallowed thousands of miles.

When the news reached Jianye, the whole country was shocked. Wu lord Sun Yu was panicked and urgently summoned the ministers to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

Situ He Zhi said: "Now that the Shu Han soldiers are strong and strong, our army is invincible, and the minister thinks that he should withdraw the troops of Jianghuai, retreat to the Yangtze River, rely on the Yangtze River defense line, and stick to Jianye." ”

Zuo Prime Minister Lu Ji said: "No! If we give up the Jianghuai easily, the Shu people will be able to drive straight down, drink the Yangtze River, although the Yangtze River is called the moat, but once the Shu army is in the north of the river, we will have no depth at all, and the defeat will not be long in coming. The ministers dared to ask for orders to go out of the town of Niuzhu and lead the Huainan armies to control the Shu army. ”

He Zhi said worriedly: "Now that Jingnan has been lost, Liu Yinqin led his troops and horses to occupy Changsha, the danger of the Yangtze River is no longer there, if Prime Minister Zuo sends troops to Jiangbei again, if Liu Yin attacks eastward, how will he deal with it?" ”

Lu Yundao, the right prime minister: "Jingzhou still has the governor of Zhou Dadu, and there is no worry about it for the time being, and the minister thinks that the west of Poyang is the most important Chaisang Pass, and the minister is willing to go to Chaisang in person to block the eastward advance of the Shu people." ”

Sun Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the left prime minister Lu Ji to be the governor of Zhendong, to control the people and horses of Huainan Jiangdong, and the right prime minister Lu Yun to be the governor of Zhennan, garrison Chaisang, control the soldiers and horses of Yuzhang counties, and the governor of Zhou to govern all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and guard Baqiu.

Wang Jun trained the navy day and night in Yong'an, although he never waited for the order to go out, he never slacked off, and kept the navy high morale.

Yong'an Water Battle, is the first battle between the Ji Han Navy and the Dongwu Water Army, this battle, but also played the prestige and morale of the Ji Han Water Army, you must know that the Dongwu Water Army is known as invincible in the world, but in Yong'an is a feather return, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the morale of the Han Army, in the face of the upcoming battle of Wu, the Ji Han Water Army has maintained a high morale.

Wang Jun knows very well that the Yong'an Water War Han Army does not rely on the combat power of the Water Army or the ferocity of firearms, and the combat effectiveness of the Water Army alone, the Han Army, which has just been formed for only a few years and has not experienced a decent battle, cannot be the opponent of the Dongwu Water Army in any case, but the firearms invented by Liu Yin have the power to turn decay into magic, and in one fell swoop destroyed the undefeated myth of the Dongwu Water Army.

In the next battle of Wu, the Han army's greatest reliance is naturally from this powerful firearm, Wang Jun has been paying close attention to the training of gunpowder crossbows, and further improve the hit rate of gunpowder crossbows, Wang Jun believes that in the next battle, gunpowder crossbows will inevitably show their might, completely bury the Eastern Wu naval army.

After receiving the order to go out, Wang Jun immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the official departure on the first day of the seventh month.

In fact, the navy has long been waiting for the day and is ready to go out at any time, but the above order is to send troops on the first day of July, Wang Jun did not dare to advance or postpone, and waited until the first day of July, Wang Jun gave an order, and the Ji Han Navy sailed thousands of sails and marched eastward.

The first difficulty after the sailor army set out on the expedition was not the Dongwu navy, but the gorge river channel with many rapids and dangerous shoals, for this reason, Wang Jun had already sent sailors to scout, carried out many reconnaissance along the river, and drew a detailed route map, where there are dangerous shoals, where there are reefs, where can be navigable, all of them are clearly marked one by one, each ship has a navigation chart, sailing according to the map, and naturally can ensure the passage of safety.

When the Han army sent troops, it was in the Yangtze River flood, the water volume soared, and many dangerous shoals and reefs were submerged, which undoubtedly provided convenience for the navigation of the Han army.

The Han army went all the way down the river and passed through the Qitang Gorge and the Wu Gorge unimpeded, and among the Three Gorges, only Xiling Gorge remained.

At this time, the front ship came to report: "The Wu people made an iron cable in the Xiling Gorge, intercepted it across the river, and set up an iron vertebrae in the water to block the passage of our army." ”
