On the tenth day of the first month of the first month of 197 A.D., General Han Wei, Jingzhou Mu, and Taoyang Marquis Wang Xu ascended the altar to read out the text, in the name of Liu Zhang's conspiracy to invade other counties, murder of court officials, and unappointed by the imperial court and self-imposed Yizhou Mu.

A total of 120,000 cavalry infantry, 20,000 naval troops, more than 100,000 civilian and logistics personnel, and 300,000 troops, attacked on two lines by water, and drove to Yizhou, shocking the world.

The water route led by Zhao Yun, the military advisor Guo Jia was the supervising army, Xu Huang, Zhang Jing, Zhou Zhi, Guan Hai, Song Qian and other Jingzhou generals and deputies, with 50,000 infantry and 20,000 sailors along the river, out of Jiangzhou, and the troops entered Qianwei County Fujie, Jiangyang and other important places.

It was expected to go north from Jiangyang, pass Han'an, and then divide the troops into two routes, marching from Zizhong and Wuyang respectively, and attacking Chengdu from the south.

The land route was led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun respectively, Wang Fei, Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Han Meng and other generals were deputies, and Xu Shu and Tian Feng were the deputy military divisions, and Tian Feng was the supervising army, commanding 70,000 horse infantry, marching north from Jiangzhou, and it is expected to seize the Ba County Dianjiang, enter Guanghan County from the east, pass through Deyang and Guanghan counties, and enter Chengdu strongly.

Wang Xu marched with the army this time, but he was still the governor of the two armies.

In addition, Wei Yan, who was far away in Hanzhong, was also ordered to lead 15,000 soldiers to enter Baishui Pass from the northern front, regardless of success or failure, just to contain the Yizhou army.

Huo Jun's brother Huo Du led 10,000 troops to stay in Hanzhong, and Bao Long led 5,000 troops to Yangping Pass to prevent someone from Wudu County in Liangzhou taking advantage of the emptiness of Hanzhong and sneak attack.

It can be said that this is the first time that such a large-scale military operation has occurred in the South since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north. They all looked at this place with their eyes wide open. Just because if Wang Xu gains the state, it will inevitably achieve the general trend.

For a time, the various parties lurking in Jingzhou were unprecedentedly active, and Xu Shu decisively ordered Ling Wanqing and Shan Huai to bring back a large number of spy shadows scattered all over the world, and the battle in the dark was still fierce.

The waterway was much faster than the land route, and Zhao Yun's army boarded the ship from the port of Gangneung in Nanjun on the twentieth day of the first lunar month. Coupled with the time for the deployment of personnel, it only took ten days to arrive at the Fu Festival, and even more in five days, the speedboat arrived.

This festival was later called Hejiang County, which is the confluence of the Chishui River and the Yangtze River, and its strategic location is very important, and it is also the only way to enter Jiangyang from the waterway.

It's a pity that this time, Jingzhou's troops are extremely strong, and Yizhou is worried that the division of troops to garrison will lead to a breakthrough, so the 10,000 people stationed in Fujie are withdrawn to Jiangyang. It is expected to resist with the more well-prepared important town of Jiangyang.

Therefore, the pioneers Guan Hai and Song Qian made no effort. and obtained the runes.

It has to be said that Yizhou's move is absolutely wrong, if Fujie is not lost, then the Jingzhou army will not have a safe and stable concentration of logistics materials, and can only set up concentration points in some towns and villages further east.

But how can these concentration points have such a precipitous city defense as Fujie, Jingzhou must always worry about the grain route and supply ground, the safety of logistics personnel is also difficult to guarantee, and even the transportation of the wounded is very problematic. At the same time, for Yizhou, there will also be a very large space for counterattacks and tactical display.

Compared with the danger of being broken by each one, it will be more advantageous to hold the runes, and with the depth of the runes, Jiangyang's soldiers can be mobilized at any time, and the support of the runes will not be delayed for long, and they can also rely on the runes to hold off the Jingzhou army for a long time to wear down the sharpness.

Yizhou's move made Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others overjoyed, I don't know what they thought, it was equivalent to giving the Jingzhou army an important foothold in vain, and it was sturdy and durable, at first when Guan Hai and Song Qian entered it effortlessly, Guo Jia was still worried about whether there was a conspiracy over there, but he didn't think it was completely fine.

After careful investigation, the news obtained is even more incredible, the guards here are Deng Xian, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong, and the plan to gather the army to hold Jiangyang is not the idea of the three people, but the Fa Zheng who almost defeated Jingzhou in Hanzhong.

Since the First World War in Hanzhong, Fa Zheng has been reused by Liu Zhang for his strategy and merit, and has been transferred to the Yizhou Pastoral Mansion, and now he has been sent to fight against the Jingzhou army again. Deng Xian was originally very opposed to this decision, but Wu Lan and Lei Tong trusted Fa Zheng very much and strongly supported it.

Even if Deng Xian was the main general, he had to consider the opinions of the two deputy generals, and the battle between Hanzhong at the beginning did prove that Fa Zheng had a strategy to defeat Jingzhou, coupled with Fa Zheng's reasonable persuasion, as well as the so-called overall plan and consideration, he was finally persuaded to nod his head and agree.

When Guo Jia arrived at Fujie Port with the main force and disembarked on the shore, it was a little strange to be alone. "General Zhao, the battle in Hanzhong at the beginning, was it really the Fa Zheng who offered advice?"

Zhao Yun was dressed in bright silver armor, his red robe flew with the river wind, and he pressed his sword with his backhand, and he was heroic and extraordinary.

Hearing Guo Jia's questioning, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't hide it from the military advisor, it is indeed the plan of the Fa Zheng, and I am also wondering, such an act today really does not seem to come from his hands." ”

"That's weird!" Guo Jia became more and more confused. "Judging from Fazheng's original layout, his people should be people who know the strategy, how can they use the stupid method of sticking to it? When our army arrives in Jiangyang, they will have to face us head-on, trapped in Jiangyang, with no depth to speak of, why so? ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Huang just happened to come over excitedly, and when he heard the conversation between the two from a distance, he laughed and said, "Maybe God helps me Jingzhou!" ”

"Komeito is here!"

"General Xu!"

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia turned around to say hello one after another.

Xu Huang smiled heartily and ran to the front. "Military Division, Zilong, the garrison of Fujie has been arranged."

For Xu Huang, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun are extremely relieved, and when it comes to rigor, he is second to none among the generals in Jingzhou.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Gongming, then let's prepare, two days later, you and I will lead the vanguard to Jiangyang to explore the bottom." ”

"Good!" Xu Huang nodded happily, but then frowned and continued: "Zilong, just now I said that Tianzhu was just joking, this Yizhou operation is indeed a bit weird, it is better to deal with it carefully, that Fa Zheng is not an ordinary person!" ”

Zhao Yun said modestly: "I must pay attention, if there is any omission, Gongming can mention more." ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Huang smiled: "The military advisor is here, why bother with us!" ”

"Huh!" Guo Jia hurriedly waved his hand and interjected: "Why is General Xu so modest, I am just an ordinary person, this battle is a matter of importance, and it depends on everyone's concerted efforts to achieve great things." ”

"yes!" Zhao Yun smiled and teased at the right time: "When I went on the expedition, I had an agreement with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and I wanted to compete who would fight in Chengdu first, but don't lose, it's not easy for the lord to get those BMWs!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Guo Jia and Xu Huang laughed at the same time, and the three of them looked at each other, both full of confidence in the next battle.

On the fifth day of the second month, Wang Xu led a large army to Jiangzhou and joined Tian Feng, Wang Fei, Han Meng and others stationed here.

It's just that after learning that Zhao Yun and the others have established a foothold in Fujie, the generals here are all impatient, and they haven't been able to set off yet.

This is not entirely because of that gamble, nor is it for Wang Xu to get a few BMWs as a bet, but that kind of fighting spirit, that desire to win.

For their invitation, Wang Xu was very happy, but he was not in a hurry, the land route is not as good as the waterway, it is impossible to break the wind and ride the water, you need to take one step at a time, and every step is bound to be full of dangers.

In Jiangzhou, the whole army was reorganized, and when a large number of medical officers arrived in Jiangzhou, he finally relented and ordered Wang Fei and Han Meng to lead 10,000 horse infantry as the vanguard and enter the Dianjiang River.

The rest of the army was led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun and set off on the morning of the second day.

He was not in a hurry to leave, he knew his problem, his current body was able to reduce the rush and reduce the rush, and such a large-scale battle also needed a person to dispatch in the rear, so he and Tian Feng stayed in Jiangzhou temporarily.

On this day, Wang Xu, accompanied by Tian Feng and Yan Yan, inspected the city wall, and looked at Jiangzhou, which was broken by himself, but now it is more prosperous and solid, and the area of the city has also expanded a lot, and he is in a very good mood.

"General Yan, over the years, Jiangzhou has been governed very well, thank you for your hard work!"

Yan Yan arched his hand and said with a smile: "The lord has won the award, these are not the achievements of Jiangzhou officials such as the last general, but also thanks to Tian Beijia's strong help, the hard work of the people of Jiangzhou!" ”

"General Yan, don't say that!" Tian Feng stroked the short beard under his chin. "My main energy is to guard against Yizhou, and I haven't participated much in the construction of Jiangzhou, so how can I say that I have the credit!"

Yan Yan is a straight person, and immediately retorted: "Tian Beijia often admonishes the last general, and he has personally led everyone to build, as an example, how can it be said that it is useless?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing over to shirk the credit, Wang Xu was deeply pleased, and a smile appeared on his face: "Both of them are pillars of Jingzhou, there is no need to dispute, they are all meritorious, whether it is me or the people of Jingzhou, they will all remember it!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he asked, "By the way, I saw a new city without walls at the confluence of Langshui and the Yangtze River before, what is going on?" ”

"That's because of trade!" Yan Yan replied with a smile: "Earlier, it was just a small township, because the lord strongly supported water merchants and commercial exchanges, as a place extending in all directions, it flourished, and now the general is trying to return it to a subsidiary city in Jiangzhou, build a city wall, and also take care of each other with the main city of Jiangzhou." ”

Saying that, Yan Yan continued with great interest: "Lord, the name of that small city has not yet been decided, how about the lord give it a name?" ”

"This ......"

Wang Xu hesitated, and suddenly remembered the name of Jiangzhou in the later life, Chongqing!

But Chongqing is the collective name of the entire Jiangzhou, and it doesn't seem to be appropriate, after thinking about it, I was suddenly shocked, Langshui should be the Jialing River of the future! Where the two rivers meet?

Suddenly, a noun came to mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since God let me go to this damn era, and let myself toss and turn, and I didn't have a few good days, then I would just tease a little.

As if mocking the damned reincarnation of fate, he suddenly said in an unquestionable voice: "It's called Yuzhong District, the luxuriant bazaar at the confluence of the two rivers, and I named it Chaotianmen!" (To be continued......)
