The sudden appearance of the Jingzhou Jiangxia Navy fleet once again confused the poor Chaisang defenders. You must know that the Jingzhou Army and Xiao Yuan Sangong wore a pair of trousers to fight against the Xuzhou Army. It was precisely because of this

, Little Yuan Sangong regarded Yuzhang as the rear area, and also transferred a large number of Yuzhang navy and army troops to Danyang to compete with Liu Yao's army for control of the land in the east of the Yangtze River, but now the Jiangxia Navy of the Jingzhou Army suddenly crossed paths with Deputy Director Tao

With a pair of pants, not only could the Yangtze River's natural moat no longer stop Deputy Director Tao's army of tigers and wolves, but Little Yuan Sangong's weak rear hinterland was also completely exposed to Deputy Director Tao's blade.

The price of insufficient preparation for the college entrance examination is to retake the exam. The price of insufficient preparation for the affair is to be caught and raped in bed. The price of insufficient preparation for the battle between the two armies can only be blood. After Deputy Director Tao gave the order, five thousand soldiers from Xuzhou fought.

All the soldiers boarded the Jiangxia ferry. Hundreds of large and small Jiangxia warships, armed to the teeth, came forward to clear the way. They surrounded the troop transport ships full of Xuzhou soldiers and set sail. Taking advantage of the smooth wind and river, they rushed to Chai Chai in a mighty manner.

Coming from Sangdu, Chaisang guard Song Qian knew that his own army was inferior to the Xuzhou army in land and infantry combat, and only on the water could its own army have a certain advantage, so he mustered up the courage to lead only more than 40 troops on the Chaisang wharf.

Large and small warships left the harbor to engage in battle, and engaged the Jiangxia Navy on the Yangtze River.

The reason why Song Qian dared to muster up the courage to attack the strong with the weak was of course that the Jingzhou navy would not sacrifice its life for Xuzhou. During the battle, it might not fully protect the Xuzhou troop transport ships that were almost unable to fight back on the water, but it was a pity.

Yes, poor General Song Qian won the Mark Six lottery this time - but the numbers were from the previous draw. Because this time, it was not only Mr. Liu Qi who had a deep relationship with the Xuzhou army who personally led the Jiangxia Navy to protect the Xuzhou army across the river.

There is also a newly promoted general named Gan Xiao who was not reused during Huang Zu's reign as the forward under Master Liu Qi.

In order to repay the kindness of Master Liu Qi, the brave general surnamed Gan left a relatively safe large ship instead of a large ship. Instead, he boarded a light and flexible warship that was convenient for close combat. He led the fleet and led the troops. When the war began, the first

He rushed into the fleet of Chaisang Navy without fear of arrows and stones, and rushed straight to the flagship of Chaisang Navy that Song Qian was riding. He was seriously ill-prepared and never imagined that Jiangxia Navy would do this for the Xuzhou army.

The hard-working Chai Sang navy was caught off guard and was immediately rushed into chaos by Jiangxia's fleet of ships. Liu Qi also took the opportunity to advance with his troops. Thousands of arrows were fired from the warships and ships. Countless arrows fell into the water from Chai Sang's army, while the small ships and ships lined up in formation.

The impact was interspersed, and they continued to penetrate deep into the Chaisang Navy fleet to fight with the enemy's small ships. They cooperated with the large warships to continuously cut and surround the enemy's large ships, and then threw countless hooks and flying ropes to hook the enemy ships, and flew on board to kill and seize the ships.

He was very lively and passionate. He also fought fiercely with Navy Master Chai Sang.

Deputy Director Tao and Mr. Jia were not accustomed to water and did not know much about water warfare, so they did not go to the warship to show off their ugly appearance. They just watched the battle from a hill on the north bank. Seeing Jiang Xia's navy fighting,

Being so dedicated did not give the Chaisang Navy any chance to get close to our own troop transport ships. Deputy Director Tao couldn't help but smile happily and said: "I didn't expect that this student Yang Hongshou was so kind and loyal, and could do his best for us.

Seriously, letting the toady Yang Hong take charge of our foreign affairs in Xuzhou was simply the wisest appointment in my life."

"It all depends on my lord's ability to recognize people and use Mr. Zhong Ming in the right place. Otherwise, our army will not only bury talents, but also bring disaster to itself." Jia Laodu smiled and flattered, and then said: "

Xu doesn't understand water battles, but today I witnessed the water battle between Jiangxia Navy and Chaisang Navy, and finally understood why my lord chose Chaisang as the breakthrough point. The advantage of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is really important. Liu Qi

The fleet of Liu Qi could so easily get involved with the enemy fleet and take advantage of its overwhelming advantage of having more ships and more troops, all because of its speed advantage. If Liu Qi's fleet had fought against the current, this water battle might not have been so good.

It’s a good fight.”

While observing the water battle battlefield with a primitive telescope, Deputy Director Tao said smoothly: "I chose Chaisang as our army's breakthrough point on the Yangtze River. Seizing the advantage of the upper reaches is only one of the reasons. In addition, there are two more important reasons.

This is why I gave up Ruxukou and Niuzhu and chose Chaisang."

Although Liu Qi's navy was borrowed by Jia Laohu personally, due to time constraints, Deputy Director Tao did not explain in detail the reason and purpose of choosing Chaisang to Jia Laohu when setting off. The overall situation was already decided, and there was still some free time.

, Jia Laodu was also a little curious, so he asked Deputy Director Tao: "May I ask my lord, what are the two reasons?"

"The first reason is of course Poyang Lake." Deputy Director Tao replied: "Zijing once told me that among the areas controlled by our army in Huainan, there are two places suitable for training and forming naval forces. One is Chaohu Lake, and the other is Chaohu Lake.

The second is Poyang Lake. The lake surface of Poyang Lake is much wider than that of Chao Lake, and its hydrological conditions are far more complex than that of Chao Lake. It is far more suitable for naval training than Chao Lake."

"It is a pity that when our army began to form the Huainan Navy, our army only controlled part of Poyang Lake in name. Poyang Lake was actually controlled by Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang who was subordinate to Yuan Shu. If our army was established in Poyang Lake

The navy may be attacked by Yuan Shujun's navy at any time, even its home base, so we have no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing and form a navy in the relatively safe Chaohu Lake."

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Tao smiled and added: "But the situation is different now. Zhou Shu died of illness and there was civil strife in Yuzhang. Yuan Shu also transferred most of the Yuzhang navy to the lower reaches to assist in the battle, not only to guard against our army's

The Chaohu Navy maintained its overwhelming advantage over Liu Yao's Navy. Although Yuan Shu's transfer was blameless in terms of strategic arrangements, it also gave our army a God-given opportunity to seize the opportunity to seize Poyang Lake with surprise troops. The opportunity is so good, I

The military and naval forces have begun to take shape, and with Navy Liu Qi as a staunch ally, if we do not seize the opportunity to gain control of Poyang Lake, we will be very sorry to the folks around Poyang Lake."

"That's it." Mr. Jia Poison nodded and said happily: "Thanks to Mr. Zhongming for instigating Liu Qi to take over Jiangxia Navy, and thanks to Zhang Xian for setting off the Changsha rebellion and Cao Mengde's invasion of Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng had no time to look outside, otherwise

If so, Poyang Lake might fall into the hands of Liu Biao."

"It's not that easy." Deputy Director Tao, who had a rare disagreement with Jia Laohu, said: "In my opinion, if he didn't know that Liu Biao had no time to look outside and did not dare to make any more powerful enemies, Yuan Shu would not have dared to transfer him to Henan Province.

The Southern Navy and our army will not have such a good opportunity to sneak into Chaisang."

Jia Lao Poison nodded slowly again, agreeing with Deputy Director Tao's analysis. Then when Jia Lao Poison asked Deputy Director Tao about the last important reason for choosing Chaisang as the breakthrough point, Deputy Director Tao asked in reply: "Mr. Wen He

, do you still remember the passage I asked Mr. Zibu to repeat that night in Chaohu?"

"Remember." Jia Laodu was quite impressed by this incident and recounted: "Mr. Zibu said at the time that Spring Valley, which extends to the mouth of the Yangtze River, is the place with the densest population and cities in Jiangdong. It is also the place where Yuan Shu and Liu Yao

The most important place in Jiangdong is the most important place. Even if our army puts a nail in this line, it will definitely bring about Yuan Shu and Liu Yao's full counterattack. Or even the two thieves join forces to fight back!"

"Yes, this is what reminded me that I should choose to break through the Yangtze River in Chaisang." Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "Although Mr. Zibu is sometimes very pedantic and too arrogant, this sentence couldn't be more correct.

By the way, Yuan Shu and Liu Yao have been fighting endlessly from Spring Valley to the mouth of the Yangtze River, fighting for the essential land in this section. If our army forces its hand in this essential land, it will inevitably attract Yuan Shu and Liu Yao.

Yao's full counterattack may even force these two men together and join forces to counterattack our army!"

"So, it suddenly occurred to me. Since our army cannot establish a cross-river bridgehead on the fiercely competitive Jiangdong essence land, why can't our army use the blue ocean strategy in business and avoid the fiercely competitive Red Sea to swim in the blue ocean and choose competition?

The relatively small and relatively secondary city on the south bank of the Yangtze River can be used as a breakthrough to establish our cross-river bridgehead? Then I suddenly thought of the Poyang Lake that Zijing mentioned before, and the Liu Qi Navy that our army could borrow, so I immediately decided on it.

Chai Sang came up with the idea of ​​smuggling across the border."

"Blue ocean tactics in business? Avoid the red ocean and travel in the blue ocean? My lord, why can't Xu understand any of these terms?"

Jia Laodu was a little dumbfounded and could not understand at all what Deputy Director Tao said was a business term invented only in the 21st century by the devil. Deputy Director Tao also realized that the term "future" came out of his mouth again, and he was trying to cover it up in embarrassment.

At that moment, Xunyang Order Zhang Tao, who was standing behind, asked cautiously: "My lord, can I be brave enough to ask you a question?"

After getting permission from Deputy Director Tao, Zhang Tao asked cautiously: "My lord, after listening to the exchange between my lord and the military advisor just now, I have a question for my lord - since the strength of our naval force is still relatively weak, Master Liu Qi's

It is impossible for the navy to be stationed in Chaisang for a long time, so what if after the Jiangxia navy withdraws, Yuan Shu's navy or army turns around and comes back to attack Chaisang?"

Deputy Director Tao and Mr. Jia both laughed, making Zhang Tao, a low-ranking official, laugh so hard that he hurriedly knelt on his knees to plead guilty and said: "I am guilty, I am confused, I don't know the mysteries of my lord and military advisor, as a general

The county magistrate took the liberty of spying on my lord's military aircraft. I am guilty of a crime worthy of death. Please forgive me, lord."

"Sir Zhang, please get up. You are a civil servant and don't understand military affairs. I don't blame you." Deputy Director Tao smiled and waved, letting Zhang Tao stand up first, and then explained casually with a smile: "Sir Zhang, just don't worry, Yuan Shu is the main force of the common man.

The possibility of returning to fight Chai Sang is very small. If his main force dares to return from the front line at this time, not only Liu Yao will immediately launch a full-scale counterattack, but the main force of our navy can also cross the river at any time and capture the territory he controls in the northeast of Danyang.

The land is the best, so the most Yuan Shu can do is order his second-line troops in Yuzhang to counterattack Chaisang, and maybe he will admit defeat honestly and not even dare to launch a counterattack against Chaisang."

Zhang Tao did have some deficiencies in the military. Deputy Director Tao had already explained it so clearly. Zhang Tao could only nod his head in vague understanding, not really understanding Deputy Director Tao's explanation. But Deputy Director Tao mentioned

The main force of our navy, Jia Laohu, remembered another important event and asked hurriedly: "My lord, I have another question. On behalf of Sun Quan and Wu Jing, Sun Quan and Wu Jing asked our army to surrender and offered to help our army cross the border."

Jiang, is this true or false?"

"Honestly, I don't know if it's true or not."

Deputy Director Tao hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking his mind, "Judging from the intelligence our army has, Sun Ben and Wu Jing were indeed used as cannon fodder under Yuan Shu's subordinates, and wanted to betray Yuan Shu's subordinates."

The team is reasonable. I tested Sun Quan several times and found no flaws. So I am still not sure whether Sun Bi and Wu Jing’s request to surrender is true or false."

Having said that, Deputy Director Tao hesitated again, and then said: "So to be on the safe side, I gave Zijing a sealed envelope and ordered Zijing to give up the smuggling operation at Ruxukou at the last moment, lest I

The misjudgment gave the enemy the opportunity to completely annihilate the main force of our navy."

"But what if Sun Ben and Wu Jing didn't pretend to surrender...?" Jia Lao asked hesitantly.

"I hope to be deceived this time." Deputy Director Tao lowered his head and sighed: "I hope Sun Quan deceived me this time and wanted to lure me into a trap. Otherwise, I will be very sorry for Sun Bi and Wu

The view is great.”

"I don't have the shame to see that poor and cute little girl Xiang'er again." Deputy Director Tao secretly blamed himself in his heart.

"Lord! The flag of the enemy's flagship has fallen! Jiangxia Navy has won!"

The sudden cheers interrupted Deputy Director Tao's self-blame. When Deputy Director Tao quickly raised his head and raised his telescope, he saw that the Chai Sang Navy had indeed begun to rout. The flag on the flagship had also been chopped down.

It has also been planted with the Jingzhou military flag, which means that this flagship has been owned by the Jingzhou Navy, and the fully loaded Xuzhou soldier transport ship is sailing to Chaisang Pier in a grand manner. This time the Chaisang ferry battle can basically be announced.

Success, the rest is how to capture Chaisang City and establish the Xuzhou Army's bridgehead south of the Yangtze River - but this is almost not difficult, because most of the few defenders in Chaisang City have already

Brought to the river by the desperate General Song Qian, the defenders in Chaisang City became even more pitiful.

Seeing this scene, Deputy Director Tao decisively put down the original telescope and told Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, Yuan Fang did not come with me to Xunyang this time. I will only trouble you to write the book. I will use it immediately."

Honor, sent a letter to Liu Yao, notifying the news that our army had captured Chaisang, and formally invited Liu Yao to conclude an alliance with our army, and jointly attack Yuan Shu's men. After this was accomplished, our army and Liu Yao's army crossed the Yangtze River, and Taoshu Ridge was

We will join hands with the Qin and Jin Dynasties to form a good relationship and never violate each other!"

Jia Laodu agreed and quickly wrote the letter. After writing the letter according to Deputy Director Tao's request, Deputy Director Tao checked that it was correct and signed and sealed it. Then Deputy Director Tao handed the letter to Xu Chu and ordered: "Arrange a manpower.

Then ask Mr. Zhang to arrange a fast boat for you and take it to Niuzhu by water to hand it over to Liu Yao."

"Lord, it's not appropriate." Jia Laohu quickly stopped him and said: "For such a big event, an official should be arranged to formally visit Liu Yao with a letter. Moreover, Niuzhu is located in Spring Valley. What if this letter is intercepted by Yuan Shu's navy?

manage?"

"It's okay, this letter will be transported by water." Deputy Director Tao smiled and told Mr. Jia: "Mr. Wenhe can write another letter to Yuan Shu, saying that our army did not capture Chaisang to annex his land.

, we are just preparing to send troops to Changsha to help Liu Jingsheng exterminate the traitor Zhang Xian, so we temporarily borrowed the land in the three counties of Chaisang, Liling and Haihun. If Yuan Shu, a common man, agrees to agree, then our army will compensate him three yuan of grain and grass every year.

Ten thousand dendrobium as rent."

Jia Laodu smiled and asked hurriedly: "What if Yuan Shu asks about the loan period?"

"Three years." Deputy Director Tao smiled and replied: "If Zijing cannot build a powerful Yangtze River Navy for me within three years, then his position as Navy Commander will be in vain."

……………………

Okay, now let's take a look at the situation on Xiao Yuan Sangong's side. We also adjust the time to the night of the 23rd day of the first lunar month in the third year of Jian'an. When the second update is approaching, a small dragnet has been deployed on the Yangtze River.
