Chapter 696: Xiling
"What's going on?" Yang Zheng was shocked, Jin Wu stopped for more than half a year, and he wants to fight again?
"Sun Hao summoned Bu Xie and Bu Xian brothers to return to Jianye as the governor of the tent, and the two brothers suspected that Sun Hao was going to attack him, and raised Xiling City to surrender to the Jin thieves, and sent his son Bu Ji and Bu Xuan to Luoyang as hostages!"
The governor of the tent is actually the commander of the forbidden army of Eastern Wu, and his position is not unimportant.
But with Sun Hao's reputation and calling the two brothers back to Jianye at this juncture, fools know what to do.
The military value of Xiling is more important than that of Gangneung.
It not only blocked the Qin army's eastward exit, but also guarded the flank of Jiangling.
The source of the Yangtze River defense line in Dongwu is actually in Xiling.
"What did Du Pre, Luo Xian, and Ling Husheng say?"
Pang Qing took out two copies of the recital, "Du Dudu and Linghu Thorn Shi have all played." ”
"Oh?" Yang Zheng's expression moved.
The affairs of Shuzhong are all decided by Du, what does it mean for Hu Sheng to follow the last performance?
After opening the recital and reading the contents inside, Yang Zheng suddenly realized.
It turned out that the two had different strategies.
Du said in the prelude that although the state of Wu declined, it had the strength to fight, Ding Feng and Lu Kang were both wise and brave generals, and Zhong Hui was engulfed in it, and the Qin army was unfavorable, and it was difficult to compete.
And the main force of the Qin army is in the north, there are only 50,000 soldiers in Shu, and the scale of Jin and Wu is more than 100,000.
Linghu Sheng felt that the Jin and Wu wars were a godsend, and when they seized this opportunity, Zhou Zhi and Liu Yin came out of Shangyong, Du Pre and Luo Xian came out of Shuzhong, and the soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong in Shuzhong competed for Jingzhou with Jin and Wu!
Looking at Yang Zheng's face, he couldn't help but sink.
Linghu Sheng is suspected of overstepping his bounds and acting too aggressively.
A few months ago, there was a Jinyi guard secretly on the table, which made Hu Sheng and Du Yu disagree.
Yang Zheng didn't take it too seriously, Du Zheng had a steady and modest temperament, and Ling Husheng was also a good man for a while, so he shouldn't make trouble.
But now it seems that it is slightly inappropriate to put the two of them in Shu.
Discord has been taboo since ancient times.
Of course, according to the emperor's mental technique, the two sides are not in harmony, and fighting openly and secretly is the way to control people.
But Yang Zheng is not an ordinary emperor, and Du Yu is not an ordinary general, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty.
There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.
In addition to the Juntian system, the advantage of the Qin State is that there is less internal friction, and the morale is booming and the spirit is flourishing.
Yang Zheng felt that the Sima family was able to seize Cao Wei's rivers and mountains, and the fundamental reason was all kinds of internal strife.
The Cao Wei clan fought in the same room, and the Shi clan group fought internally, and then fought with the Xungui group, fighting back and forth, which created an opportunity for the Sima family.
The Shi clan pushed Sima Yi to the stage because they wanted him to be Yi Yin Huoguang, but they didn't expect Sima Yi to be a mound tiger, and he used the Shi clan to take everything from the Cao family.
In a word, flies don't bite seamless eggs, Cao Wei himself has no problem, and Sima Yi can't find a chance.
Therefore, Yang Zheng did not allow Shuzhong to fight infighting at this critical time.
"Promoted to Husheng to shoot for Shangshu's left servant and enter Beijing." Yang Zheng quickly made a decision.
The Qin State has just been stable for a year, and Jin and Wu have heavy troops on the front line of Jingzhou, if it is according to Ling Husheng's approach, it will definitely be a war of the country.
Or passively involved.
Rather than this, it is better to keep Jingzhou and slowly release the blood of Jin Wu.
Yang Zheng had an intuition that once he sent troops, it was likely that Jin Wu would stop fighting, compromise quickly, and then unite and turn the spearhead to get himself first.
Because Jin and Wu are all warriors, they are naturally opposed to the Qin State.
"Then Shuzhong ......"
"Du pre-Du supervises all the military forces in Shu, whether to fight or not, it is up to him to decide!" Yang Zheng said decisively.
Du Prezhen has been guarding Shuzhong for many years, and he knows best whether he can fight or not.
Looking at the world, Du Pre's military talent is also one of the best.
"Yui!"
Xiangyang.
Yanghu looked at the information sent back by Dongwu and sighed, "It's not timely!" ”
Jingzhou has just improved, and the big war is coming.
Although everyone wants the important land of Xiling, Yanghu is not ready.
He has always warned the Bu brothers to be patient and wait for the opportunity.
The Bu brothers have also been hesitating, after all, the fortune and misfortune of the Ju clan attached to the Jin State are unpredictable, as long as Sun Hao does not find trouble in Xiling, everyone can live with one eye closed.
The Bu family is also a famous family in Jiangdong, who wants to betray the homeland unless it is a last resort?
The reputation of a generational business will also be buried.
But no one expected that Sun Hao actually broke the tacit understanding between each other and pierced this layer of window paper in advance.
The Bu brothers immediately defected.
Luoyang Sima Yan also responded positively, Feng Buxie as General Wei, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, Shizhong, concurrently served as the pastor of Jiaozhou, and explained the affairs of the governor of Xiling, and led the Yizhou pastor, as the Duke of Yidu.
Then the king of Dongguan County, the right servant of Shangshu, and the general of the Fu army, Sima Ling, led 50,000 elite Chinese troops to the south, and ordered Yang Zhao, the assassin of Jingzhou, Wang Rong, the assassin of Yuzhou, and Sima Liang, the governor of Jiangbei, to lead the 70,000 troops of Jingyu to the south to support Yanghu.
The strength of Xiangyang City reached 80,000, and Sima Ling's 50,000 Chinese troops were still on the way.
Jianye also hastily gathered an army of 60,000 to support Gangneung.
A big war is inevitable.
But Jin and Wu were all in a hurry, and the army was prepared in the rear.
On the front line of Jingzhou, there were more than 80,000 Jin troops in Xiangyang, more than 20,000 Wu troops in Lexiang, about 10,000 Wu troops in Jiangling, and 30,000 defenders in Xiling.
The Jin army had 110,000 troops on the front line alone, while Lu Kang only had 30,000 Wu troops under his command.
However, Yanghu's face is not good-looking, he is the governor, Sima Liang is also the governor, or the clan, the authority of the two is unknown.
Lu Kang is powerful, and Yanghu has already learned it.
In July this year, due to the flat and open terrain north of Jiangling, Lu Kang ordered Zhang Xian, the governor of Jiangling, to intercept the Han River and introduce it to Dangyang in the north of Jiangling to isolate the Jin army from attacking and harassing and defecting internally.
Coincidentally, Yanghu also wanted to use the waterway to transport grain to the northern forts of Jiangling, so he threatened to break through the dam to pass the foot soldiers, hoping that the Wu army would step up to intercept the flow of water.
Who knew that Lu Kang saw through Yanghu's intentions at a glance, and deliberately waited for the arrival of Yanghu's grain carrier, so that Zhang Xian immediately destroyed the dam, and Yanghu lost thousands of stones of grain and grass, and switched to land transportation, which was time-consuming and laborious.
Although it was only a small encounter, Lu Kang left a deep impression on him.
Yanghu's original intention was to let Lu Kang fight with the Bu brothers first, wait for Sima Ling's 50,000 Chinese army, and then move south in one fell swoop to break through Jiangling.
But Sima Liang, Yang Zhao, and Wang Rong all thought that the opportunity could not be lost, and their own reinforcements came, and Jianye's reinforcements also came.
It is better to go hand in hand, with Yang Zhao attacking Xiling, Yanghu attacking Jiangling, Xu Yin attacking the public security, casting a wide net, and always catching a fish.
At any point of breakthrough, the Yangtze River defense line will also be broken.
Yanghu didn't want to offend people, and felt that this strategy was not bad, so he conformed to the wishes of the people.
The strength of the Jin army is more than twice that of Lu Kang, not counting the men and horses of the Bu brothers in Xiling City.
The strategy of moving forward in tandem is also in line with the current situation.
If Jiangling is surrounded first, Lu Kang will only have more than 20,000 troops in his hands, and with such a small number of people, let alone breaking Xiling, he will not be able to do anything.
As long as any army bites Lu Kang, and the other two roads follow, Lu Kang is almost finished.
In this battle, the Jin army can be said to have taken advantage of it.
The three-way army marched noisily, and the people of Dongwu were panicked.
