The Son of Heaven Patrols the North...... Moving the capital?

Jiang Wan still remembered that the flooding of the Seventh Army shocked China and frightened Cao Cao to move the capital, so he thought of this move for the first time.

Then I remembered Xu Shu's battle report:

"I haven't congratulated Xu Junshi on flooding Cao Ren."

This is nothing to envy, Jiang Wan has the specific data of the soldiers killed in battle.

The defensive battle of Fancheng was sleepless for several days, the attackers were not afraid of death, and the defenders tried their best.

Even with strong cities, strong crossbows, and medicinal powder, thousands of people were still killed.

After the fight, Zhao accumulated illness from hard work and went directly to Wancheng to recuperate.

Xu Shu is not much stronger, Wancheng has been resting for nearly ten days, and now there is still a color between his eyebrows.

Hearing Jiang Wan say this, Xu Shu's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he laughed:

"Gong Yanxiu wants to kill me, but it's just flooding the instep."

After the two laughed, Jiang Wan shook his head and said:

"I don't think Cao Thief should be so eager to move the capital."

"Jingzhou has no room to attack, although the Cao thief is defeated, he is generally uninjured, and he can defend it with ease."

In fact, Xu Shu also thinks so:

"Merchants eliminate the news of the market, and it is difficult to know the plan of the prince."

"However, there is this rumor, it can be seen that after the lord won Hanzhong, the people of the north all read Gaozu."

Jiang Wan smiled, as long as he is a scholar, who doesn't know about Emperor Gao's old affairs?

Xu Shu continued:

"With the heart of a thief, even if the Son of Heaven patrols north, he must plan to strengthen his prestige before this."

"And now those who can strengthen their prestige are only the conspiracy of the three places."

"One of them is in Guanzhong, or attacking Yongliang, or attacking Hanzhong."

"The second is in Jingzhou, and the troops are stationed in Yingchuan and Runan, and the two roads attack Jingzhou to block Yang and Biyang."

"The third is in Yangzhou, secretly befriending Sun Quan, Cao Jun attacked Jingbei, Jiangdong attacked Jingnan."

Jiang Wan pondered for a moment and understood, nodded with only one sentence:

"Although Yuan Zhi can rest assured, Jiang Wan will die with Jiangling."

Looking at Xu Shu's expression of crying and laughing, Jiang Wan just smiled and said:

"I just want to reassure General Yun Chang that the old things of the light curtain will not be repeated."

Recently, Jiang Wan has lived in Jiangling City, and he can best understand how difficult this city is.

But because of this, I can't help but sigh when I think about the old things.

The city was supposed to be the supreme prestige of the city builders, but the result was ......

Xu Shu didn't stay long, and after eating in Jiangling City, he followed the boat from Gong'an County to the north non-stop.

Standing on the bow of the boat and being blown by the river breeze, Xu Shu unconsciously continued to figure out the situation.

Jiang Wan said that in the three directions, Cao Thief only carried out any one that he was not afraid of.

But Xu Shu understands, Jiang Wan also understands, and Cao Ying is also a lot of resourceful people.

As long as Cao Jun moves, most of them will do it together in the three directions, and they will also cover each other, just like the cooperation between him and Pang Tong in the Battle of Jingxiang.

It can only be said that fortunately, Cao Jun's grain and grass reserves are estimated to be small, and most of them are difficult to support Jingzhou and Guanzhong at the same time.

But if it is a secret alliance with Sun Quan, what conditions will the two sides reach?

Xu Shu slowly guessed various possibilities in his heart, and unconsciously Jiang Xia was already in sight.

The ship docked in Jiangxia, and the sailor Zhao A scolded secretly, but he still put on a smiling face to meet the captain of Jiangxia's Shuiguan:

"As before, it's all food and grass."

Captain Shuiguan said with a cold face:

"General Lu has an order, and all ships that come and go need to be carefully inspected."

Xu Shu stood at the bow of the ship and watched Jiang Dongbing get on the ship, carefully inspecting every part of the grain ship.

But of course, nothing was found, this team of twelve boats was all grain and grass, mainly to replenish the granary of Wancheng in Jingbei in case of danger.

The grain and grass obtained by cutting Cao Hong at the beginning have been transported to the Duyang guarded by Huang Zhong Guanping, and he has the posture of defending the city to the death.

The more important weapons were transported by land from Gangneung to Dangyang, and then transported from Dangyang Ferry to the north.

So, after some wrangling, a convoy of ships set off again for the north.

Dangyang's ferry port has become more huge, a large number of baggage and Cao army troops have to transit here, and there are many garrisons at this ferry itself.

When the people in Yangcheng were very smart and keenly aware of business opportunities, many people came to do the business of soldiers in their spare time.

Laundry and sewing, simple eating.

Enough money to make ends meet from the soldiers, the Overseers let it go, given that there was no such thing as the alcohol that General Guan had strictly forbidden.

And the skin and meat business is thinking too much, and the Chibi Expedition and the attack and defense of Nanjun have made this place almost ruined.

Not to mention school-age women, school-age men can't find one.

Those who had a little strength also moved to the public security and Gangneung.

Looking at the old man who was selling at the stall and the old woman who was working hard to do laundry by the river, Xu Shu also sighed.

At the age when they should be living in their old age, the children of these old people don't know if they are still alive?

Further north is Yicheng, where the gate of the city that had been shattered by the giant boat was so open.

Xu Shu remembered that he had proposed to let the white-eyed Ma Liang temporarily defend Yicheng, but Ma Liang resolutely refused to accept it in order to avoid suspicion, and after the battle, he almost didn't stop and went to Wuling to work with the barbarians.

According to Ma Liang, he had already cultivated a group of nimble brains in Wuling, and planned to send them all to Jiangdong to contact the Shanyue people after two more months.

It's not to cause chaos in Jiangdong or anything, from a fair point of view, Ma Liang just sympathizes with the plight of the Shanyue people.

The generals of Jiangdong were happy to conquer the mountains, defeated the mountains, lacked people, lacked merit or conquered the mountains, and lacked food or fur.

Instead of being frightened in Jiangdong, it is better to come to Jingzhou.

Now that Jingbei is restored, no matter what barbarian Shanyue you are, as long as you scatter the fields, you will be the people of the Han family for a generation or two, and you will be the people of the Han family, not better than the angry bag in Jiangdong?

And now Yicheng is a man named Liu Min, who fights bravely under Huang Zhong's tent and is very appreciated.

There are constantly people talking and laughing through the open city gate to the river to draw water, seeing Xu Shu and their boats are still curious, and some are active and will whistle.

It seems that the recovery is good, Xu Shu assessed in his heart.

After all, after the Battle of Jingxiang began, Yicheng almost fell in one go.

The war was the earliest, and it seems that the people's livelihood was also the first to recover.

Continuing north, the city of Xiangyang has been completely depressed.

Xu Shu sighed, he still remembered that this was the most prosperous place in the entire Jingzhou.

Liu Jingsheng rode into Jingzhou alone, managed the troops in Xiangyang, crossed Hannan, and drunk the guests with the Sanya cup, showing the style of celebrities and gentlemen.

became famous here, died of illness, abolished the long and young and born in calamity, and the inside and outside should be combined to descend Cao.

In the past 20 years, the naval army has been burned to the ground, and the people who have been governed by the past 10 years have been humiliated to death.

After decades of glitz and glamour, now there is only one empty city left.

To the north of Xiangyang is Fancheng, and there are still many crossbow arrows on the wall near the river.

Some of these bolts were too deep into the walls, or too high to be pulled, and they ended up on them.

Along with the crossbow arrows, there were thousands of small earthen bags in the east of Fancheng.

After the war, Guan Yu came for a few days, and together with the soldiers, he collected those robes and transported them back to Jiangling for burial.

The rest of the Cao army could only dig pits on the spot and bury them, because they were not known from their origins, and in the end they could only leave these mounds.

Xu Shu tried hard to think about it, and found that even if he was stabbed to death by himself, he basically couldn't remember his face.

The ship continued northward in silence, leaving only a word of condolence from Xu Shu:

"Han soldiers, rest in peace."

The scenery further north finally made Xu Shu a lot happier.

The people of Xinye have become the people of Xinye, some are farming and some are resting, and when they see their fleet, someone shouted "feed" loudly from afar, and the happy Xu Shu can feel it.

Starting from Xinye, the west side of the river is an endless flat land, and the river is fertile soil, which is also the root of Jingzhou's prosperity before.

Most of the cultivated fields near the river have been re-occupied by wild grasses, and at first glance they look like the grasslands of the Northland.

And on it, a cavalry galloped on horseback.

And Xu Shu, the general who is the leader of this cavalry, also knows, the red-faced and beautiful bearded glaive knife, who is not Guan Yu?

After Jingxiang's victory, he captured a large number of Cao soldiers, along with thousands of good horses.

Guan Yu did not rest, and almost seamlessly began to familiarize himself with and train the cavalry.

His mount was replaced by a more robust red horse, which was captured from Wancheng.

Xu Shu guessed that most of them were the good horses of a certain noble of Cao Jun, and the destruction of Wancheng was too sudden, and most of Cao Cao's party at that time did not have time to carefully identify their horses, and finally left them here and fell into the hands of Guan Yu.

Previously, Xu Shu was worried that the prohibition of giant ships to the north of Jingzhou would discourage General Guan, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

General Kwan seems to have only one preference:

A winning army that can win battles.
