Cao Wu originally planned to continue on horseback alone, but was stopped by Ah Da, just in time for Zhang Liao's entire army to pull out the camp, so he simply changed his mind and marched east along the Han River with Zhang Liao.

Cao Wu clearly remembered that he knew about the time in history when Zhao Yan supervised the Seventh Army.

The main force of Cao's army marched eastward along the Yangtze River, and Zhao Yan's branch in Hanshui was an auxiliary partial division.

But there is no record in any classics that after the defeat of the Cao army in the main battlefield of Chibi, what happened to this partial division.

However, considering that six of the generals of the Seventh Army were still active in the history books in the later period, only Feng Kai did not appear in the history books.

Therefore, this army should be a blessing in disguise, and it was not implicated in the fiasco of Chibi, at least Zhang Liao's part must have escaped.

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao set the world, and Cao Wu stayed in Beifu to carry out that major event, rarely going out of the range of Yecheng, let alone accompanying the army on an expedition.

This time, with Zhang Liaobu, it can be seen that the overall quality of Cao Jun is already higher than that of the Battle of Guandu.

The addition of 5,000 Qingzhou troops made Zhang Liao's subordinates as many as 10,000 people, including 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry.

In the original history, when Liu Bei was defeated and fled south, Guan Yu took away Liu Bei's elite soldiers with the size of Xiangyang's ships, and the ships that could not be taken away were also burned.

At that time, there were no ships in Xiangyang, so when attacking Jiangxia, the new Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin could only attack on a bamboo raft, and the Seventh Army supervised by Zhao Yan did not have a naval army as a companion.

But now it is different from history, when Cao Wu asked Cao Cao to return to Yecheng to celebrate his birthday, he had already roughly said that he would be defeated, and Cao Cao began to requisition ships from all over the country.

Therefore, now Zhao Yan's Seventh Army, each army has been assigned a building ship, five ships, and many manned boats.

The new Lingling Taishou Zhao Yan gathered the generals of the Seventh Army together, distributed the ships, and explained that they should train the soldiers in the ability of water warfare, and the armies advanced by land and water.

Zhao Yan is not famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he is a famous peacemaker.

Now that the seven armies are out together, and the seven generals are at the same level, Cao Cao asked Zhao Yan to supervise the army, so as to prevent the seven people from fighting on each mountain.

Zhao Yan himself is very capable, but after all, he is not a prestigious general like Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and it is also a headache to coordinate the Seventh Army.

Just kidding, they are not those civil officials, the military attaches follow the prime minister to the south and the north every day, and they know that the prime minister is decisive in killing, and the prime minister is like a god in their hearts, who will touch the moldy head of the prime minister's brother.

In the end, the result of the struggle was that the seven armies were separated by three miles, watching and helping each other, and every day a general led his troops to be the vanguard, and then the next day the general set off last, becoming a rear team, and so on.

The Seventh Army set out from Xiangyang and attacked Jiangxia from the northwest, and the main force of Cao's army set out from Jiangling and advanced from west to east.

Xiakou City, with the regional division method of later generations, is Xiakou County, Jiangxia City, Jingzhou Province, and the current Jiangxia is governed in Xiakou, which is equivalent to the city government and the county government are in Xiakou.

The original Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu, like Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, belonged to Liu Biao's feudal officials and was the eastern barrier of Jingzhou.

He had a feud with the Jiangdong Sun family, Sun Jian died in his hands, and Ling Tong's father Ling Cao was also killed by him.

However, in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, when Jiangdong's troops attacked Jiangxia again, Zhou Yu led Ling Tong, Lü Meng and others to attack hard, cutting off the connection between Huangzu's flagships, and finally broke Huangzu's naval army, Huangzu died in battle, and the southern and eastern parts of Jiangxia County, basically all the areas south of the Yangtze River were captured by Sun Quan.

Later, Liu Biao listened to the slander of his wife Cai and brother-in-law Cai Mao, and decided to set up Liu Cong, who was related to Cai's in-laws, as his successor.

The eldest son, Liu Qi, was not born to the Cai family, and he had no backer, so he could only leave Liu Biao and serve as the chief official of the remaining half of Jiangxia, and he was still the Taishou of Jiangxia.

In addition, in the north of Jiangxia and north of Hanshui, several counties were in the hands of Cao Cao, and Jiangxia was already a three-point situation.

Now Liu Congju surrendered Jingzhou, but there are still a few generals in Jingzhou who are loyal to Liu Biao and unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao occupy their own counties and counties, struggling to support.

Liu Qi and Liu Bei are the two biggest forces.

Cao Cao went south, Liu Bei fled south first, and then changed his route to the east, and joined forces with Liu Qi, Jiangxia became the last hope of the Jingzhou army.

Xiangyang is probably less than four hundred miles away from the westernmost city in Jiangxia, and Zhao Yan gave a ten-day deadline, which is still relatively sufficient.

On the first day, Zhang Liaobu set off for the sixth time. At the end of the first day of the march, they walked more than forty miles, all the way along the shore.

Boats of all sizes in the water also followed.

When it was time to set up camp, the soldiers who had disembarked from the ship were all vain and dizzy.

Cao Wu rode a little red horse and patrolled the camp with Zhang Liao, and saw the road recruitment department in front and Zhang Hebu in the back from a distance, and they all stopped.

Zhang Liao sighed and looked at the many soldiers, and only then did he really feel the true situation of the soldiers in the north who were not accustomed to water warfare.

Zhang Liao said: "I think the soldiers, the ones on the big ship are better, less than thirty percent of them are seasick, and most of the ones on the small boat are dizzy, but our big ship is too few after all." ”

Cao Wu knew that Zhang Liao was not as real as he seemed on the surface, although he was also a loyal person, he was a smart person among the generals.

This sentence was said to Cao Wu, but Cao Wu did not answer, the seven armies came out together, Zhang Liao's department was more equipped, and the rest of the troops were naturally less, which was not necessarily a good thing for the attack on Jiangxia.

Zhang Liao didn't wait for a response, and he didn't feel annoyed at all, he was by no means a stingy person, fighting for weapons and equipment for his subordinates was a necessary skill for every good general, and it was not a shame to fight, and it was nothing if he couldn't fight.

Besides, Zhao Yan is a person who understands, Cao Cao's brother is in Zhang Liao's army, at least Zhang Liaobu has not suffered.

These intrigues and quarrels made Cao Wu a little upset, this victory was uncertain, there were some key issues, he hadn't been able to figure it out, and he and Zhuge Kongming together yesterday couldn't discuss the results.

The soldiers on the side buried the pot to cook, and Cao Wu made two captain-level meals and returned to his camp.

Now it is a rapid march, and the camp tent is not as big as before, and Cao Wu and Ah Da share a small tent.

As a woman, Ah Da couldn't show her head in front of the soldiers with strong blood, so she put on a helmet and armor all the way.

When I arrived in the small tent, I spread my hair and rubbed my slender feet, and I kept worrying.

Cao Wudao: "I told you to go back, but I didn't listen." Come, I'll help you knead, I have seen in a dream a kind of trade called the Great Sword, and I have obtained the essence of it. ”

Ah Da snorted, knowing that he was talking nonsense again, but he still stuck his foot out as usual.

"It's really pinched, are you a general or am I a general?"

Cao Wu pretended to be angry, sat down, picked up his feet and pinched them casually.

Ah Da turned his face away, his legs were clasped to death, and after a while, he couldn't help it, and said, "I'll pinch it for you." ”

After a while, Ah Da said angrily: "It stinks to death!" ”

She changed into men's clothes again, went to fetch water, and washed Cao Wu's feet.

Cao Wu enjoyed the service of a beautiful woman, one of the four beauties, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that his brother Cao Mengde liked his wife so much, and there were so many people with Mengde syndrome in later generations.

I can't say it's comfortable, I can only say it's comfortable.

In fact, this Diao Chan is different from the Diao Chan he knows, maybe he has been by his side for too long, or maybe he has experienced too much life and death.

She claimed that Diao Chan was dead, but she still remembered all the things that her father-in-law Wang Yun had confessed.

As a woman, she has carried too much, and she has used her youth to complete one of the most famous strategies in the history of a thousand years.

However, everyone knows Fengyi Pavilion, who knows Diao Chan's heart?

Ah Da felt something, rubbed it a few times and said, "Hurry up and finish washing and sleeping." ”

"Well, sleep."

Cao Wudao.

Ah Da rolled his eyes, poured the water, and went to bed by himself.

Cao Wu also lay down on the bed.

The two have known each other for more than ten years, and they have not slept in the same bed for the same time, and the conditions in the military camp are poor, and the two have nothing to find fault with.

Cao Wu yawned, hugged Ah Da's slender waist and fell asleep.

Ah Da let him hold on to herself, and there was no struggle, she couldn't break through her heart knot, and she didn't want to go to the last step with Cao Wu, but she didn't resist making contact with Cao Wu.

She leaned on her jade arm and listened to the snoring of the military tents next to her.

The daytime horn company camp has been put away, and in the quiet night, only the footsteps of the patrol soldiers are heard.

I don't know how long I slept, but there was a sudden commotion in the barracks.

Trumpets are blaring, soldiers are shouting, military tents are shaking.

Cao Wu and Ah Da woke up at the same time, and vaguely heard someone shouting: "There is an enemy attack, an enemy attack!" ”

Cao Wu suddenly woke up.

There are five 10,000-strong military tents in front, they are the sixth, and there is also Zhang Hebu behind the palace, the enemy is attacking, what are you kidding!

Could the enemy be able to fly over?
