Chapter 58: I Don't Have a Name Yet?
King Wu reluctantly raised troops for the well-being of the people, Zhang Xun's body was quickly dragged down, and at the same time, many officials in Jiangnan were secretly executed.
This time King Wu has been preparing for many years, and it is definitely not a hasty act, since it has come to this point, a battle plan that has been formulated for a long time and has been deduced countless times has been announced in the palace.
Chen Zhuo had never heard of the battle plan before, and it was obvious that King Wu was very secretive about it, and when the battle plan was announced, Chen Zhuo knew that it was formulated by that Mr. Zhou.
There is nothing wrong with this battle plan, at least from Chen Zhuo's own cognition and perspective, he did not use Ge Shuhan's experience card at this time, and used those three minutes to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this battle plan.
"General Chen, your task is relatively heavy, and you are the general of the Left Army, leading the people of the headquarters to Jiangcheng, and try to take Jingzhou while holding Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is the throat of Jiangnan, and only if you go to guard it, you can rest assured. "King Wu didn't let Chen Zhuo lead his troops north, but gave him a defensive mission.
King Wu's decision surprised Chen Zhuo, because although King Wu's troops were strong, the personal strength of those generals was really not as good as him, the 97th master in the world.
However, defending Jiangcheng to capture Jingzhou, this task is indeed very important, Jiangcheng is the west gate of the south of the Yangtze River, not only to hold the Yangtze River, but also to prevent the soldiers and horses of the northern town of Xiangyang from going south, but also to deter Changsha in the south.
Now Xiangyang has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the general Liang Ji, Bashu is a separate force, composed of several major valve families, Changsha has a king of Tan, although not as strong as the king of Wu, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in several states, and it is also a force that should not be underestimated.
Jiangcheng as a strategic location, its significance lies in defense, if Chen Zhuo can take Jingzhou, then there is a springboard for strategic offensive, so King Wu hopes that Chen Zhuo will capture Jingzhou while holding Jiangcheng.
"Within seven days, the minister will take Jingzhou." Chen Zhuo confidently guaranteed that he could take Jingzhou, and also gave the exact time.
Including King Wu, everyone was a little skeptical of Chen Zhuo's confidence, after all, this was a war, a duel of tens of thousands of people at every turn, and personal force could not completely control the situation of the war.
It's not that individual force can't control the situation of the battle, it's just that at least it has to be a martial arts master.
By the time Chen Zhuo left the palace, it was already the second half of the night, and the originally planned night tour of the Qinhuai River could only be abandoned, and he rushed back to Jinhua overnight with Chen Yuwei and a few entourages.
"I'm going to lead the troops to Jiangcheng soon, you can stay in Jinhua, and I'll let Gai Liniang stay with you." On the way back, Chen Zhuo briefly told Chen Yuwei.
"Brother, I'm with you." This time, Chen Yuwei was not well-behaved at all, she didn't want to stay in Jinhua alone.
"This is a war, sister, I feel at ease if you stay in Jinhua." Chen Zhuo never thought that he would bring his sister with him in battle, this battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen.
And Chen Zhuo is not invincible in the world, there are too many people who are more powerful than him, and he is not sure if he encounters a powerful opponent on the battlefield.
"But I'm not at ease, my brother forgot that I'm already an immortal cultivator? I can palm the thunder, and there is also the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and I can also help my brother kill the enemy. Chen Yuwei said a little coquettishly.
"Ten Thousand Soul Banners......" When Chen Zhuo heard the Ten Thousand Soul Banners, he immediately hesitated, because he thought of the battlefield full of corpses, was that a good place to sacrifice the Ten Thousand Soul Banners?
"It's okay to bring you, but you must be obedient, and don't reveal your identity as an immortal cultivator without my permission." Chen Zhuo agreed after pondering for a moment, but specifically told his sister not to reveal her identity.
Chen Yuwei's Heavenly Spirit Root is still unclear Chen Zhuo, he thinks it is better to let his sister keep a low profile, in case someone finds out, it will be a steady stream of trouble.
"I listen to my brother, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will resolutely not do what you don't let me do." Chen Yuwei immediately became well-behaved and sensible, and hurriedly assured Chen Zhuo.
After returning to Jinhua and cleaning up overnight, Chen Zhuo took 3,000 men and horses to Jiangcheng early the next morning.
At this time, King Wu had not yet issued a message to the outside world, and Chen Zhuo only went to Jiangcheng in the name of changing guards.
After Chen Zhuo led the army to Jiangcheng, more than 10,000 troops originally stationed in Jiangcheng immediately moved to Luzhou, with the purpose of joining up with the other armies of King Wu, which was the main force of the Chinese army, with 100,000 people.
After entering Jiangcheng, Chen Zhuo first familiarized himself with the environment, to be honest, it is very difficult to defend this place with only 3,000 people, let alone 3,000, it is estimated that 30,000 is not a top matter.
Except for a few rivers in this place, there is no natural barrier at all, and if Jingzhou is not taken, it is really equivalent to opening the door for people to fight.
Since he knew that this was not a place to be defended for a long time, Chen Zhuo gave up his plan to establish a defense in Jiangcheng, and he immediately rushed to Jingzhou with his army, and took Jingzhou before the imperial court could react.
In peacetime, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Jingzhou, and here is the power of the imperial court, that is, the power of the general Liang Ji.
When Chen Zhuo marched to Jingzhou, the main force of King Wu also began to move north, attacking Bozhou and Xuzhou, and the general Liang Ji mobilized a large army to prepare for a battle with King Wu in Huaibei.
As soon as King Wu moved, the whole world moved, Bashu, Lingnan, Liaodong, Anxi, Beiting, and some powerful vassal kings all began to attack each other, because the generals Liang Ji and King Wu were the strongest, but they made the most enemies.
Maybe the other forces think very simply, the current disparity in strength, they will deal with the general and the king of Wu together, and when these two behemoths fall, the remaining strength will be about the same, and they will have the opportunity to win the world at that time.
The reaction speed of the forces of all parties was much faster than Chen Zhuo imagined, so that Jingzhou immediately became the focus of multi-party contention, in addition to Chen Zhuo leading his troops to Jingzhou, the general Liang Ji also sent reinforcements to Jingzhou.
The allied forces of several major lords of Bashu went down the river on warships and vowed to take Jingzhou.
Even the King of Tan sent his generals to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to seize this strategic location.
"How do you feel that after a long day, I am the main battlefield here? But how can there be a main force of 3,000 people! When Chen Zhuo received the news from all directions, he found that he was more lively than the main force of King Wu's army.
"How are you going to fight this battle, brother? Although the defenders of Jingzhou were mediocre, the defenders in the city were less than 10,000. However, the general Liang Ji sent Yan Shuangfei, who ranked 94th in the world and was known as 'half-human and half-ghost', to lead 30,000 troops to aid Jingzhou. There is also a 90th ranking in the world on the Yangtze River, and Li You, a white-collar Bashu sailor, known as the 'Bashu Sword Immortal', is eyeing the Bashu Navy. King Tan's general, 'Ten Thousand Enemies' Xing Lurong, ranks 87th in the world, ten places higher than you! Before arriving at the city of Jingzhou, Chen Yuwei flipped through the world list, and discussed with Chen Zhuo the enemies he was going to face in some ridicule.
"You remember other people's names so clearly, does your brother have any resounding names?" Chen Zhuo also joked with his sister, but he didn't have the slightest nervousness before the war.
"It's a pity, my dear brother, that there isn't any name for it yet." Chen Yuwei said with a regretful face, it was obvious that this was just a harmless ridicule of the brother and sister.
"That's going to be there soon." Chen Zhuo said with confidence.
"So what is my brother going to do?" Chen Yuwei's expression became serious, no longer looking like a joke.
The next moment, Chen Zhuo also said a little seriously: "It's not simple? Of course, it is to take Jingzhou first, and then defeat those half-human and half-ghost, what sword immortals, and ten thousand enemies. ”
