After Wankou became the front line of the war between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, Lingyang became the rear area.

If you look at the entire layout of Jiangdong along the Yangtze River from the map, you will find that their armament can be described as quite rigorous, which can be called leaky.

There were two ways to attack Jiangdong from Yuzhang, one was down the Yangtze River, that is, the offensive route before Huang Zu.

The other is the land route taken by Liu Pan, from Nanchang to Yingtan, Shangrao, Quzhou, Jinhua, Yiwu, and Shaoxing.

The reason why there are only these two roads is because the north bank of the Yangtze River is the Dabie Mountain Mountains, and the south is the southeast hilly and mountainous areas.

Coupled with the natural risk of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong is even more dangerous than the Sichuan Basin geographically.

It is no wonder that once the Central Plains Dynasty lost the north, they would choose to migrate to Jiangdong. As a result, many generations of emperors such as the Eastern Wu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty were created.

The current situation is the same as the way in which countless subsequent attacks on Koto were made.

On the southern front, because Liu Pan's land supply line was too long, Jiangdong was very smart to take a defensive position and chose to defend in the area around Qiantang, which finally dragged down Liu Pan's supply and forced him to withdraw his troops back to Nanchang.

The choice of Jiangdong on the northern line was to take Anqing as the forward position, and then Zongyang, Hulin, and Nanling, that is, Zongyang County and Chizhou City in later generations as the rear defense line.

In this way, when Jiangdong faced Huang Zu's attack, it was in a situation of blocking at a stage.

Even if Huang Zu broke through Anqing, the Jiangdong Army could still retreat to Zongyang and other places to continue to defend, lock the river with iron, and drag down the enemy step by step.

This is also the reason why Jia Xu suggested that Liu Biao could be called emperor if he took Yuzhang.

Because if you continue to attack to the east, it will be much more difficult than capturing Yuzhang, and you don't know how to fight until the year of the monkey.

Therefore, it is the best choice to achieve a strategic victory first, take advantage of the peak of the army to become emperor, and then slowly consolidate the territory, seize Jiangdong and Yizhou in one fell swoop, and dominate the south.

As for Lingyang.

It is still in the rear of the Nanling Tomb of the Tiger Forest in Zongyang, more than 100 kilometers away from the front line of Anhui, and it is also a hoarding point for some of the grain and grass.

When Zhou Yu arranged the grain and grass arrangement, he placed a part of the grain in Anhui County to support Wankou.

The other part is placed in the nest to support Zongyang Hulin Nanling and other places.

The last part is placed in Lingyang, the rear.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Shen Chen's decision to go to Lingyang was a mistake and killed the place where Jiangdong was hoarding grain and grass.

The flotilla went down the river.

Along the way, passing through Zongyang, Hulin, and Nanling, the river bank was covered with beacon towers, and the Jiangdong soldiers on the beacon tower saw the ships with the Jiangdong flag passing by, so they waved flags to identify the ships.

But because the flag language of the Jiangdong Navy Division system is very different from the flag language of the Jiangxia system, Shen Chen ordered to be too lazy to take care of it, and drove directly all the way to Qingshui.

So suddenly the wolf smoke was everywhere.

From yesterday to now, Lu Su has not had time to report to the south.

The first is that the beacon tower is almost unusable due to the rain, and the second is that they have been besieged yesterday, and the dock is occupied by people, so there is no way to get out of the ship.

The only way to get out of the boat is to enter the Anhui water from the west gate of Wankou, but it will still pass by Anqing Pavilion, and the Yangtze River is still in the flood season, the water level and the speed of the water flow have skyrocketed, the small boat can not go, only the big boat can go, but the big ship can not pass the Anqing Pavilion.

So until now, the rear of the Jiangdong Army did not know the news of the appearance of enemy troops in Anhui.

At this point, it is obviously too late to report again.

The speed of the boat is blessed by the speed of the current, and there are a large number of rowers in the eight big boats, driving mightily on the wide river of more than two or three miles, like a flying boat towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After only two hours, the fleet arrived at the Qingshui port, which is much narrower than the Qingshui channel of the Yangtze River, but still nearly one or two hundred meters wide.

()

.2ksk. Under the excellent operation of the Jingzhou Naval Division, soon the army entered the river and headed in the direction of Lingyang.

From the moment you enter the green water, the plains on both sides of the river become a mountain range.

And the most important thing is that there are no beacons along the way.

Compared with the banks of the Yangtze River, Qingshui's strategic position is far from being comparable to that of the Yangtze River.

Even if it is from Qingshui to Taiping Lake, and then from Taiping Lake to the direction of the downstream Qingyi River into Wuhu, it can reach the hinterland of Jiangdong and threaten the rear of Jiangdong.

But the problem is that this road is too dangerous, and there are several cities to intercept it, which is ten times more dangerous than the wide water surface of the Yangtze River, and no matter how powerful the army is, it will not take the risk of being a man and a wife to take this waterway.

Therefore, the Yangtze River is a key area in Jiangdong, and Qingshui's defense is extremely empty. Especially when the main force of the Jiangdong Navy was exhausted, and even more than 1,000 people were left behind in the rear of Anhuikou.

The first city encountered from Qingshui to the south was called Lincheng, which was placed by Sun Quan in the eighth year of Jian'an, that is, two years ago, in order to facilitate that once the Anhui Pass was broken, the Jiangdong Naval Division could use the waterway of the Yangtze River to attack the enemy's rear after giving up a strategic area.

At this time, this small city was not heavily defended, and Shen Chen stood on the boat and watched.

I saw that under the deep mountains and old forests on the left bank of Qingshui, there was a small city wrapped in jungles, standing by the river, and there were a few Jiangdong soldiers scattered on the riverbank who were looking at this side, obviously not quite understanding why a few big ships suddenly appeared in such a big rear.

"Let Qu dare to take this city!"

Shen Chen gave the order.

At that moment, the flag-bearer on the mast gave the order to the rear.

The two fighting ships led by Qu Kang immediately changed their course and rushed towards Lincheng.

The defenders on the shore did not realize until they got close that the other party's clothes were completely different from theirs, and it was clearly the clothes of the enemy's Jiangxia sailors.

After a while, when Shen Chen's army continued to march south towards Lingyang, the total number of less than two hundred defenders in Lincheng had already fled cleanly, and Qu Dang led five hundred people to easily occupy this outpost city of Lincheng.

"General, Lingyang is ahead."

The ship sailed at a rapid pace, and after a while, it came out of the hills and mountains on both sides, and suddenly opened up in front of it, and a plain valley appeared.

On the left bank of the valley stood a castle, and outside the city there was a wharf at the mouth of the river, on which there were many boats.

Shen Chen came over to watch, he found that Lincheng and Lingyang were indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at this time, Jiangdong's back line was indeed empty, if his food and grass supplies were sufficient, and the personnel were enough, he would really dare to kill all the way to Wuhu along Jingxi, that is, the Qingyi River in later generations.

It's a pity that there is not enough food, grass and personnel.

Just thinking about it, the fleet was already less than two miles away from Lingyang, the river was wide, and the people on the dock saw them early, unlike the defenders of Lincheng, these people blew the horn one after another, because of the different systems of the two sides, the Jiangxia sailors did not know what they were blowing.

After a while, their fleet was still sailing at a rapid pace, and seeing that the other party did not respond, the defenders of Lingyang suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately blew the horn urgently, startling the whole city in a panic.

At this moment, in Lingyang City, a young man in his twenties was kneeling in the study room in the backyard of the county government mansion and reading a book, when he suddenly heard a faint sound outside the city, and looked up.

"General!"

An old man in his fifties hurried into the backyard and said to the young man, "Hurry up."

"What's wrong with Lord East?"

That young man is Sun Quan, the eastern adult in his mouth is called Zhang Hong, Sun Quan calls the Jiangdong ministers and generally calls the table characters, but Zhang Zhao calls Zhang Gong, and Zhang Hong calls the eastern lord to show respect.

Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "I don't know where a Jiangxia army came from and suddenly attacked Lingyang, come with me."

"What?"

Sun Quan was shocked, and hurriedly dropped the book and got up to escape with Zhang Hong.

.2ksk. went to fetch the seal that had been placed aside.

His current identity is the general of Zhennan, the Taishou of Huiji, and the Marquis of Wu, of which the highest position is the title of Marquis of Wu, which is the county marquis of Wu County, which is a gold medal and a symbol of status.

Therefore, the other seals will not be carried with you, but this Wuhou gold seal has always been carried with you, as a seal when giving orders.

After taking the seal, Sun Quan and Zhang Hong hurried out of the backyard, and there were dozens of guards in the backyard and front yard to protect him all the way to the south gate.

At this moment, there was a shouting and killing sound on the head of the city, and in just a few moments, the west gate had been breached, and the enemy had entered the city.

There were not many defenders in Lingyang, less than five hundred, and Shen Chen suddenly launched an attack, and a large number of ladders climbed directly onto the city wall to fight with the Jiangdong army, and soon took the city.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army ran in the direction of the East City Gate and went to the mountains behind, but Sun Quan and Zhang Hong took advantage of the chaos to run out of the South City Gate, intending to go down the river and find a boat to run to Jing Lake, that is, Taiping Lake at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province in later generations.

Soon they ran out of two miles away, and saw several boats on the edge of the fishing village in the south from a distance, Zhang Hong walked over with great joy and sent people to negotiate with the local people, and when they got a few fishing boats, they planned to take the fishing boat to protect Sun Quan and leave.

But they had just boarded the boat, and before the boat could row, the two fighting ships flew down like arrows, and it was too late to go ashore at this time, and they were soon surrounded by these two fighting ships.

"General, quick, give me the seal."

Seeing this situation, Zhang Hong was in a hurry, untied the belt around his waist and secretly handed it to Sun Quan, and then went to get his gold seal.

Sun Quan hesitated, but finally gave him the seal of Wu Hou.

Zhang Hong pretended to be afraid of squatting on the side of the ship, and secretly threw the seal and Sun Quan's belt into the water, while whispering to the surrounding guards not to reveal Sun Quan's identity.

Sun Quan watched Zhang Hong throw his seal into the water, his face twitching.

This is his favorite seal, and it symbolizes his identity! It was sunk to the bottom of the river.

At this time, Shen Chen's figure appeared above the huge fighting ship, and a total of more than 20 people on the other side had three small boats surrounded by two fighting ships, Shen Chen overlooked the fishing boat below, and said in a deep voice, "Who is the guard general in Lingyang City?"

Everyone looked at Sun Quan almost instinctively.

But Zhang Hong happened to be standing beside Sun Quan, so he stepped forward and said, "It's old and decayed!"

"Who are you?"

Shen Chen asked.

Zhang Hong replied, "Old decay Zhang Hong."

"It turned out to be Zi Gang Gong."

Shen Chen's tone softened, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't know that Zigang Gong is here, and he has offended a lot."

Zhang Hong thought that the other party was going to let him go, and said with great joy: "Does the general want to let me go?"

Shen Chen said with a smile: "I am also a Confucian student, I like to study the way of scriptures the most, it is really a blessing to see Zigang Gong today, please come with me into the city, I can ask for advice in person."

Zhang Hong is a great Confucian in Jiangdong, the status is comparable to the great Confucian Song Zhong of Jingzhou, in the early years he had followed a number of great Confucians to study scriptures, and later returned to Guangling, the general He Jin, Taiwei Zhu Jun, Sikong Xun Shuang and others have been conquered, is a very famous scholar.

Shen Chen himself also studied scriptures, and his reputation in Jingzhou was already very big, but at that time, various schools were different, such as Jingzhou was good at ancient scriptures, and Bashu was popular in modern scriptures, so when he met a great Confucian, he naturally wanted to discuss it.

What's more, Zhang Hong is not only a Confucian in Jiangdong, but also Sun Quan's most relied on strategist, with this card in his hand, Zhou Yu and others cast a mouse taboo, even if they return to the army, they do not dare to attack Lingyang on a large scale, and when he chooses to withdraw from Lingyang to Nanchang's next move, it will be much more comfortable.

"I don't have enough to learn, where can I teach you anything?"

Zhang Hong's face was embarrassed.

Shen Chen pulled out the knife on his waist and said with a smile: "In the Lower East China Sea Shen Chen, if Mr. is willing to discuss scriptures with me, then there will be no trouble, if not, I have no choice but to kill Sir, after all, there is a war now, each for its own master."

Shen Chen in the East China Sea?

Sun Quandun ()

.2ksk. clenched his fists and slowly reached out to touch the Wu Yue sword on his waist.

It is different from the rookie that everyone imagined in later generations.

.2ksk.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
