Chapter Ninety-Nine: All-Out Attack
Tang Quan nodded to Ida and said:
"Ordered Lejin and Zang Ba to lead the 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry troops of Sizhou to attack Nanyang, and be sure to fight to Xinye within three days, the Qingzhou army left 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops, and the rest of the land troops moved to Runan on the whole line, and when the battle situation in Jingzhou was calmed, the army took a transport ship into Yizhou to fight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The river warships began to assemble in Jiujiang, and I will personally go to command this last water battle in China, and the General Staff Department will be responsible for analyzing and studying the battle plan according to the intelligence records, and the logistics department will make arrangements for the supply of logistics materials, and the war will officially start on the first day of the winter month......"
Tang Quan's subordinates will report even if they are in trouble, not to mention such a large-scale military transfer, under the mutual annexation, there are now fewer remaining princes;
Nanyang Yuan Shu didn't even dare to move lightly because of his guard, otherwise the door would be wide open as soon as he fled Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou simply closed the door and severed the alliance because Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, while Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou were still fighting;
At this moment, he suddenly heard that Tang Quan's army began to move, and Cao Cao said in a hateful voice after a while of anxiety:
"It's a pity that Fengxiao died of illness, who can share my worries with me at this moment?"
Cao ** Guo Fengxiao, there is no Cheng Yu, there are no Xun uncles and nephews, there are only Guo Tu, Xu Yufengji and others left by Yuan Shao, and there are a few sour Confucians in Jingzhou.
Just as Cao Cao frowned and was silent, a middle-aged man with a white face and big ears came out and said:
"King Qiqi, there is a saying, although Tang Quan has a large number of generals, he may not be able to win."
Hearing the middle-aged man speak, Cao Cao was stunned and asked:
"What do you think about Xuande?"
Liu Bei Liu Xuande, when he saw Guan Zhang being killed, fled quickly, and hid his traces all the way to Jingzhou, because he was a miscellaneous general who recognized Liu Biao's relatives to guard Xinye, but he didn't expect Liu Biao to get Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to Jingzhou, and finally Jingzhou belonged to Cao Wei, and he saw the wind and followed Cao Cao.
This Cao Cao is also nostalgic, Liu Bei took refuge in him, Cao Cao made him a general, Liu Bei, who originally had a grand ideal, would be willing to be a subordinate, but no one helped him and had to work hard here in Cao Cao, and he hated Tang Quan to the core, and he inevitably thought of revenge in his heart.
Liu Bei's eyes showed layers of fierce light and said:
"King Wei, this time Tang Quan's army attacked all the way without covering, this gives us a chance, as long as Nanyang can drag on for ten days, we can kill Tang Quan on the Yangtze River, without Tang Quan, can so many Zhou Mu generals under him be stable? You must know that Tang Quan has no heirs until now, so he actually took the risk of leading the navy alone.
In Jingzhou, if nothing else, the navy is far more powerful than the Jiangdong navy, and we only need to smash his ship with a boat and shoot him to death with random arrows at any cost, so that we can subvert the forces controlled by the hussar general. ”
Capture the thief and capture the king first, Liu Bei's idea is deeply in line with Cao Cao's idea, especially when hard resistance is not the way, killing Tang Quan, who has no heirs, is the highest and best strategy.
曹 says:
"The alliance two years ago has fallen apart, Liu Zhang even cut off the access to Yizhou, even if Ma Teng and Han Sui join forces, it is estimated that they will not be able to resist for long, so this time we can only make a desperate bet.
What Xuande said is good, only the water battle we still have a chance, it just so happens that Tang Quan is preparing to attack from the waterway, so let's do it, Xuande leads 60,000 infantry troops to Xinye, once Nanyang is attacked, you immediately lead the army to support from the flank, be sure to delay the enemy for ten days, and the rest of the army will follow me to the front line of Wulin;
The navy began to build a water village, once Tang Quan's navy attacked, all of our ships have only one target, the one Tang Quan is on, must be killed with one blow, once we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult for us to kill him. ”
When Cao Cao made his decision, there was still more than a month before the winter moon, and Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were fighting for hegemony in Liangzhou, hurriedly called off the coalition forces and went to Tongguan and Shangjun to defend, but they had just arrived in these two places, and the news of Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Hu Zhen and Zhang Ji rebelling came after Liangzhou.
Ma Teng hurriedly sent Ma Chao, who was not eighteen to lead the army, and was defeated by Zhang Ji's ambush before he arrived in Jincheng, Ma Chao was captured, and Ma Teng's whole family was also captured.
persuaded to surrender, not to let him surrender to Zhang Ji but Tang Quan's army, Zhang Ji and Hu Zhen had already surrendered to Tang Quan under the persuasion of Jia Xu and Li Ru, that is, to force Ma Teng to surrender when the war started.
Ma Teng had to give in, and he turned around and attacked Han Sui, and before Zhang He's army arrived at Tongguan to attack, Han Sui and his army had been half-crippled by Ma Teng.
On the first day of the winter month, Tongguan, the flying stones in the sky only half an hour forced Han Sui, who was attacked by the enemy, to raise the white flag, this party can be regarded as the easiest place, accept Tongguan into Chang'an, Tang Quan's follow-up settlement team arrived, Zhang He summoned Zhang Ji to send Ma Teng and Han Sui's family to Chang'an City, and then explained Tang Quan's requirements to Ma Teng and Han Sui.
As Xiliang approached the Western Regions and also approached Qianghu, Tang Quan asked Ma Teng to persuade the tribes of Qianghu, otherwise he would be asked to take 100,000 soldiers and horses out of Qianghu to besiege and kill, while Han Sui was asked to be the vanguard to kill all the way out of the Western Regions and then recover the nearby barbarians.
Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Ma Yunlu and others were sent to Chengyang to study, and a few months later, Ma Teng and Han Sui began to wage war against foreign races with troops loyal to Tang Quan.
The most critical battle of the Yangtze River also began on the first day of the winter lunar month, Tang Quan sat on a special building ship as the commander-in-chief, and he was only followed by more than 30 warships, when their fleet appeared on the wide river from the scattered morning fog, several soldiers blew the horn on the watchtower high in the water village.
"Woo... Woo... Woo......"
In the sound of horns, Cao Cao, who was washing his face, suddenly raised his head, he quickly put on his battle armor and rushed out of the camp with the Yitian Sword, and then he and a group of generals and strategists rushed to a hill by the river.
In their sight, more than thirty warships came from Yang Fan, and on one of the warships at the head, a man wearing purple gold armor stood out in the morning light.
"Is that him?" Cao Cao asked, staring at the warship that had stopped hundreds of feet away.
The distance is too far, how can they know if it is true or false if they have a telescope, Cao Ren who was next to him whispered:
"I've seen him, send a small boat for me to investigate."
Cao Cao nodded and said:
"Be careful, don't anger him, this Tang Quan has been quiet and unobtrusive, and no one understands what he will do."
Cao Ren quickly got off the water village and quickly headed towards Tang Quan's flagship on a speedboat, but they didn't know that every move was in Tang Quan's eyes, and their so-called water village was also clearly photographed by military satellites.
