With the sound of the night wind, Zhou Tai cut off the rope upstream after giving an order, and the water after opening the gate rushed down like an indulgent wild horse. A lot of rolling logs were placed three miles downstream, and they rushed directly towards Wuling County as soon as they were washed by the water.
"Oh no—it's water!"
"There's a lot of water coming in from the gates—"
The city wall can block soldiers and horses, can defend against robbers, but can not block the impact of the water, because this Wulin County is on the side of the waterway, the impact is not very large, but it can also break the city gate of Wuling County. The Yangzhou army, which had been waiting for a long time, waited until the water retreated and attacked the city on a large scale, and the defenders in Wuling County saw that the general trend had gone, and Huang Zu and Wen Ping led the army to retreat to Yiyang County. The shadow hidden in the city said that Pang Tong did not leave with the army, but took a group of people to the east and took a small boat down the river without a trace.
As soon as Wuling County was broken, the Jingzhou army suddenly had no danger to defend, so it could only retreat to Yiyang County and wait for reinforcements. The first thing Zhou Yu's army did when it entered the city was to arrange for people and horses to drain the water and go out of the list to settle the people, leaving Zhou Tai to deal with the affairs of Wuling County, and he was approaching Yiyang County after the army rested for three days. At the same time, the good news came that Jiangxia County was taken by Dian Wei and Gan Ning.
In such a short period of time, all the territories on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou fell, including Jiangxia County along the Yangtze River, which also fell into the hands of Zhou Yu. Compared with Yuan Shao's insistence on Jizhou, Yuan Shu's insistence on Yuzhou, and Cao Cao's occupation of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, they are all persimmons picking soft pinch, while Zhou Yu is facing a very rich Jingzhou, Jingzhou's Liu Biao can be said to be very rich, and his armaments and equipment are all the most sophisticated. Yuan Shu was entrenched in Yuzhou, and he only dared to use Xuzhou Tao Qian's brain, he really didn't dare to Liu Biao, and his men and horses were not enough to deal with Liu Biao.
"Zhou Gongjin is really the dragon and phoenix among people - Cao is really not as good as Zhou Gongjin, and he should be like Zhou Gongjin when he has a son!" Cao Cao led the edict to send troops to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turban, Xun Yu and Xun You joined Cao Cao's command, Xun Yu was responsible for ensuring Cao Cao's logistics, and Xi Zhicai and Xun You became Cao Cao's masterminds, they followed Cao Cao east into Qingzhou, and Le Jin stayed in Xuchang to guard Liu Dai and did not dare to show his head. Yuan Shao originally wanted to attack the Taishan army to go south to occupy Qingzhou, but now the emptiness of Bingzhou is a good opportunity to attack, in order to drag the main force of the Western Liang Army Yuan Shao bribed Lu Bu of Luoyang with a lot of money, Lu Bu ignored Cheng Gong's obstruction to send troops to Hanoi, intending to annex Hanoi and Hedong County. Cheng Gong's opinion was that he wanted Lu Bu to take advantage of this opportunity to set up a camp fifty miles from the Hangu Pass to prevent the Xiliang army from leaving the Hangu Pass; Secondly, he sent men and horses to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass one after another, so that the west and east of Luoyang were impregnable. Lu Bu insisted on going north, and Cheng Gong could only go with the army.
The rest is Chang'an's Li Yu and Guo Yan have begun to fight openly and secretly, Jia Xu stays in the middle and is left and right, and now there is only one opportunity for a rush. Major events in the world have turned their attention to Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu's shots can attract the attention of the world again and again.
"The lord - Zhou Yu is really the first enemy of the lord, but unfortunately Fengxiao and Zhongde followed Zhou Yu early, if they help Zhou Yu, there is no need to worry. According to my analysis of Zhou Yu, his career originated in Luoyang, as if he had a kind of ability to be one step ahead, when Emperor Ling was in power, he would rather tarnish his reputation, sell his ancestral house and buy Yangzhou Thorn History; Just when everyone was laughing at him for flattering the eunuchs, Zhou Yu had already raised a butcher's knife to cut off the rebel forces in Yangzhou, and later suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion and pacified the Shanyue clan, all of which showed this person's majestic strategy. Now it is not clear whether he has other ambitions for the time being, in short, his style of action has the same purpose, that is, he has a big man in his heart. Everything is to occupy the righteousness and fight with the Lord! Such a person is a good ally as an ally, and at the same time a terrible enemy. "It's Xi Zhicai who speaks, he has worked hard for Cao Cao in recent years, so that Cao Cao has a foothold, but his body is getting weaker and weaker, even if Cao Cao finds a lot of doctors, he can't cure it, and now Xi Zhicai is also taking five stone powder every day to refresh his mind, Cao Cao attaches more importance to Xi Zhicai than himself, and gives his best cloak to Xi Zhicai to block the wind.
"Lord-Zhicai's analysis is good, but I think Zhou Yu's purpose this time doesn't seem to be Jingzhou, his ultimate goal should be here!" Xun Yu pointed to this place in Xiangyang County as he spoke, if Zhou Yu was here, his jaw would definitely drop, the Xun clan really deserved its reputation, and he immediately took a fancy to his strategic purpose.
"Oh, Gongda, why do you say that? Zhou Yu's purpose is not the whole territory of Jingzhou and Jingzhou, but Xiangyang? However, Liu Biao's army had been disabled by Zhou Yu, and the east and south of Jingzhou were attacked, and according to Zhou Yu's attack speed, Liu Biao could not resist the attack of the Yangzhou army at all. If it was just to occupy Xiangyang, the Yangzhou army should not have such a big move-" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu with some puzzlement, and he didn't know what Zhou Yu's strategic intentions were.
"The lord - what Gongda said is good, Zhou Yu has such a skill thanks to Guo Fengxiao, what this person is best at is that the virtual and the real make people scratch their heads, I think the purpose is not only Xiangyang, the final purpose should be here!"
Cao Cao and Xun You looked at the place where Xi Zhicai was pointing, and they were very surprised in their hearts.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou City has been feeling like a year in the past few days, one after another bad news came to Liu Biao wanted to vomit blood, Liu Biao, who was already old, felt more and more that he was powerless, and when he heard that the Jingzhou Navy was wiped out, Liu Biao really had the urge to kill Cai Mao, and such a large family business was burned overnight. Originally, the Pang family agreed to send Pang Tong to help, and they also stabilized their positions in the early stage, which slowed down the offensive of the Yangzhou army. Who knew that the situation changed abruptly overnight, Jiangxia County and Wuling County fell before and after, and then the Yangzhou army only needed to fight Nanjun, then Jingzhou City appeared in front of them, it seems that Jingzhou's foundation has to be broken in their own hands, and they should not have started a war with Zhou Yu if they knew it.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu took Jiangxia County and did not continue the next move, but only sent troops to attack Yiyang County, and the waterways on the Yangtze River advanced together to attack at the same time. Zhou Yu handed over the city defense of Jiangxia County to Huang Gai, saying that he lent it to Sun Ce for shelter and thanked him for his kindness.
