That night, Lu Xun burned Xiangyang and completely defeated Wenpin.

In the majestic ancient city of Xiangyang, nearly half of the houses were burned down, countless people died in the city, and the elite of the 30,000 Wei army was wiped out.

Lu Xun organized the soldiers of the Wu army to put out the fire overnight, and finally extinguished the fire at dawn, but the city of Xiangyang was in ruins, as if it had turned into a scorched earth.

However, the Wu army finally captured Xiangyang, an important town in Jingzhou, and the 60,000-strong army slowly marched into the city of Xiangyang.

Cao Wei Shangyong, who rushed to rescue Xiangyang, was too guarded by Shen Tan, and on the way he heard that Lu Xun had burned Xiangyang, and after Xiangyang had fallen, he had to lead the army to turn back.

The Wei soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from Xiangyang did not dare to linger at all, and fled to the north one after another, in order to escape into the hinterland of Great Wei as soon as possible.

After Lu Xun captured Xiangyang City, after counting, the military grain warehouse in the city had already been burned by the fire, and there was hardly any military food left, but some coins in the treasury were spared, and after cleaning, Mo Yue got 500,000 baht.

Fortunately, Lu Xun's army brought enough military rations, and Xiangyang was not far from Jiangling, so Lu Xun planned to take advantage of the victory to attack and quickly expand the results.

After the current capture of Xiangyang, what Lu Xun wanted to fight most was Jiangxia, Xinye and Shangyong.

In terms of geographical location, Jiangxia County is located in the center of the Hanjiang River Plain, with a dense water network and staggered roads, where the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, the Xiangjiang River, meets the Yangtze River, and is the transportation hub of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

The place is just at the confluence of Jing, Henan and Yang, choking the Yangtze River and Xiangjiang waterways, and still retains a large scale of Wei army water division, although Ding Feng led the water division north to Xiangyang when he wanted to annihilate this water division in one fell swoop, but this water division saw that Ding Feng's water division was strong, and chose to escape far away and let go of the Xiangjiang waterway, but it was inevitable that he would encounter this water division when Ding Feng's army returned.

Moreover, Jiangxia has always been on the supply line of the Wu army, although Ding Feng left some sailors to guard the transport ships at the intersection of the two rivers, but the land town has not been taken, and there is always a problem with the stomach.

Therefore, if you want to stabilize Xiangyang, you must take Jiangxia.

In addition, Xinye is located on the main road to Wancheng in the north of Fancheng, which can be regarded as the screen of Xiangyang. If the enemy army in the north attacks Xiangyang, it must first attack Xinye, and then use Xinye as a pedal to cross the Xiangjiang River south and take Xiangyang directly. Back then, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to guard Xinye, hoping to rely on Liu Bei's ability to stabilize Xiangyang. Therefore, for Lu Xun, it is also a place to fight.

The last is Shangyong, the west of Shangyong passes through Xicheng County and enters Hanzhong County, the south of Shangyong County is not far from the Yongan line at the junction of Shu Han and Dongwu, and Shangyong County is an important city along the Han River, the Han River flows out of Hanzhong, reaches Xiangfan through Shangyong, and finally flows into the Yangtze River.

It can be seen from this that Shangyong County is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, not far from the core area of the Three Kingdoms, and is the focus of the competition between Wei, Shu and Wu, and at the same time has convenient water transportation. laid down the upper yong, on the one hand, it is closer to the core area of Wei; On the other hand, it can be regarded as blocking the way out for Shu and Wu to compete for Cao Wei's territory to a certain extent.

Therefore, in Lu Xun's view, Jiangxia is the place that must be attacked, Xinye is second, and Shangyong is secondary, all three are important places that must be captured, and they must take advantage of the victory to attack and take them all.

In order to seize Jiangxia in one fell swoop, Lu Xun sent an order to the sailors stationed in Jianye, and marched west to cooperate with Lu Xun to encircle and annihilate the Jingzhou sailors of Wei.

This move was originally in the overall strategy of the Northern Expedition of Eastern Wu, the Northern Expedition of Eastern Wu, which was divided into two armies, the east and west, with the West Army as the main direction of attack, led by Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, with 100,000 elites, and the goal was to take Jingzhou; The East Road army was led by Zhu Huan, with Quan Cong and Zhuge Ke participating, and the goal was to attack Shouchun and fight for the next Shouchun.

Once the Eastern Route Army and Cao Wei were in a state of confrontation, Gan Xin could divide a naval division to go north along the river, and the naval division under Ding Feng attacked the Jingzhou naval division from east to west, striving to completely wipe out the Jingzhou naval division of Wei in one fell swoop, so as to fully control the entire Yangtze River waterway.

It was based on this grand strategic concept that after Lu Xun captured Xiangyang, in addition to leaving Lü Ju to lead 10,000 Eastern Wu soldiers and horses to defend Xiangyang, he began to divide his troops to the north.

He personally led an army of 50,000 people, and took Li Yi, Xie Jing and Xu Kai to attack, crossed the Xiangjiang River, and approached Xinye. On the other hand, after transporting Lu Xun's army across the Xiangjiang River, Ding Feng led an army of 40,000 to Jiangxia, where he first had to join Ganxin's 5,000 sailors to find and annihilate Cao Wei's Jingzhou sailors.

After the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Route of Eastern Wu invaded the periphery of Shouchun, they were soon blocked by the main force of the Wei army led by the general of the Wei army who guarded Shouchun, and the Wei army stationed a large number of elite soldiers in Shouchuntun, and the soldiers and horses of the East Road of Wu were not as strong as the West Route Army, and the battlefield of the East Road soon fell into a confrontational situation.

Everything was as Lu Xun had predicted, and the Eastern Route Army successfully dragged down a large number of soldiers and horses of the Wei army, creating favorable conditions for the Northern Expedition of the Western Route Army. Taking advantage of the stalemate on the battlefield on the Eastern Road, Zhu Huan ordered Gan Xin to lead 5,000 sailors to the west in accordance with the pre-war arrangement, and to encircle and annihilate Cao Wei's Jingzhou Sailors with the East Route Army.

Gan Xin only took a small half of the sailors from the Dongwu East Road Sailors, but it also had a scale of 5,000 people, and there were three building ships, 50 warships, and more than 100 fast ships.

Gan Xin's ancestor is the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, Gan Ning is a famous general in water warfare who has dominated the Yangtze River waterway for a long time, and Gan Xin has also inherited Gan Ning's talent for water warfare very well, and has a very high talent for water warfare.

She led the sailor along the west of the river, all the way to the hurried, in the Chaisang area, just encountered the Cao Wei Jingzhou sailor hiding here.

Cao Wei's Jingzhou naval division was about 10,000 people, with seven ships, about 60 ships, and 100 boats and other small boats.

The Wei army saw that the Wu army sailor who came downstream was obviously a lot less than its own, so they all attacked, wanting to eat this Wu army sailor.

On the wide river outside Chaisang, battleships gathered, the warships of Wei and Wu gathered here, the warships of the two armies gradually approached, and the giant crossbows on the ships of both sides began to shoot at each other, causing certain losses to both sides.

As the fleet got closer, the duo began to shoot at each other with bows and crossbows, striking each other from a distance.

Braving the rain of arrows, Gan Xin ordered the crew to drive the flagship and rush towards the flagship of the Wei army opposite, and she shouted the order:

"Rush up, I'm going to fight with the Wei army!"

The soldiers of the Wu army all knew Gan Xin's martial arts, and when they heard that Gan Xin was going to fight a broadside battle, they all suddenly became enthusiastic, and they shouted loudly to cheer for Gan Xin. The helmsman drove the ship and rushed straight to the flagship of the Wei army.

Seeing this, the Wei army felt that Eastern Wu was going to fight hard, and as soon as they came up, they were going to fight a broadside battle, so they set up a pocket formation, wanting to surround the Wu army.

The ship quickly approached, and without waiting for his subordinates to throw out the hook and rope, Gan Xin burst into a red light, carried a long knife, and rode away on the waves, and quickly boarded the flagship of the Wei army.

Then the sword was fierce, flying up and down, and after quickly killing a group of Wu soldiers, he quickly jumped to the top of the ship, and after seeing the main general of the Wei army's sailors, he raised his long knife and flew into the air, and then slashed down with a knife.

Like the sunset Changhong, like a thousand jun falling to the ground, the bearer is bright red light, wrapped in infinite momentum, and the commander of the Wei Army's naval division is killed with a knife, which is like a broken bamboo.
