Wei Yan and Zhang Liao went all the way from the two fronts to Jiangling, but Cai Mao and others had already made up their minds to withdraw their troops and almost evacuated Jiangling. When Wei Yan and Zhang Liao converged under Jiangling City, Jiangling became an empty city, but Zhang Liao robbed a lot of them. Ship, unfortunately Gan Ning is not with him, there are not many generals around him who are good at water warfare, and he can only look at Jiang Xing and sigh at this moment.

"Last general Wei Yan, see General!" Wei Yan came to Zhang Liao and bowed to Zhang Liao.

"Good boy, let you cooperate, you will directly take Xiangyang City!" Zhang Liao looked at Wei Yan and smiled. He didn't care about the merits of Jingzhou. After all, the merits of breaking Shu and the Western Regions were enough to stabilize his position today, although he did not It's a pity to be able to participate in the battle of the Central Plains, and it's a little uncomfortable to be robbed by Gao Shun's men, but it doesn't make him hate Wei Yan because of it.

A young man, he is arrogant and arrogant. When he was young, Lu Bu was much more mad than Wei Yan. Look at how stable he is now.

"It's not that the last commander has intentions, but the Jingzhou army is too inexperienced." Wei Yan said proudly.

"Okay." Zhang Liao waved his hand. As expected of the person who came with Ma Chao, he looked just like Ma Chao back then: "Help me rectify Nanjun here. As for Jiang Xia, I will leave it to Gongming to pacify it."

Wei Yan got the first credit, Zhang Liao didn't care about him, but this Jiangxia merit, Zhang Liao also wanted to promote his own people, and handed it over to Xu Huang to Ping. Zhang Liao didn't need it, but Xu Huang needed it after being with Zhang Liao over the years. He didn't have to fight with Wei Yan, but he had to fight for his subordinates.

"Listen to the generals." Wei Yan didn't refuse. Since Zhang Liao didn't care about himself, he couldn't make further progress. As the three major generals under Lu Bu's command, don't really think that others have no temper.

Zhang Liao nodded and said no more. After Xu Huang received the generals from Zhang Liao, he quickly rectified his troops and marched the next day.

Jiang Xia handed it over to Sun Ce back then, but Sun Ce had no plans to pay it back. Who would have known that something unexpected happened in Xinye. When Sun Ce died and Jiangdong was in civil strife, he naturally couldn't continue to dominate Jiang Xia and could not pay it back, so he quickly withdrew from Jiang Xia.

And Liu Biao's purpose in temporarily ceding Jiangxia to Sun Ce was to restrict the family and transfer back Huang Zu, who in name belonged to him but was actually his own warlord.

At other times, it was not easy to transfer Huang Zu back, but at that time it was a trend for the princes to unite against Lu Bu. Cai Mao, Kuailiang, Zhang Yun and other Jingzhou clans all stood on Liu Biao's side, and even the Huang family also stood on Liu Biao's side. Huang Zu Can only give up Jiangxia to support the general trend of the alliance at that time to attack Lu.

However, there is no need to mention the result of that battle now. The Alliance was defeated, and even Sun Ce died.

If Sun Ce hadn't died, he would most likely not be able to pay it back, but if Sun Ce died in battle, the Sun family couldn't even save Jiangdong, how could they dare to covet Jiangxia and return Jiangxia obediently.

However, Liu Biao did not let Huang Zu continue to serve as the prefect of Jiangxia, but let Liu Qi go to Jiangxia, first to protect Liu Qi, and to further strengthen his control over Jingzhou.

It's a pity that Liu Biao died of illness not long after, otherwise Jingzhou might not be what it is today.

However, Liu Qi was defeated by Deng Ai outside Fancheng, and his morale was not high. When he was ready to assemble all the troops to support him, Xiangyang had already been defeated by Wei Yan, and he broke all the way to Jiangling.

Liu Qi was willing to help, but he was unable to return to heaven. Now that Zhang Liao and Wei Yan had captured Nanjun and could not cross the river, their eyes naturally fell on Jiangxia's side. Xu Huang led the army to cross the river to attack, and the generals on Liu Qi's side were cut down within three days. After eighteen, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were beaten and the army was defeated. Seeing that the army was about to attack Xiling, Liu Qi did not choose to flee from Xiakou to Jingnan, but chose to surrender.

Liu Cong and Liu Qi were both relatives of the Han family. Even if Lu Bu didn't say it, Xu Huang would not dare to kill them indiscriminately when they surrendered. After recovering Jiangxia, he took Liu Qi to Jiangling.

Zhang Liao immediately went out to greet him after hearing the news. Liu Qi's surrender was not only a matter of the Han clan, but also related to Zhang Liao's navy. The Jingzhou navy was good, at least more reliable than their navy.

The unreliable Gan Ning went to Youzhou and never came back. Zhang Liao urgently needed a navy to help him cross the river, so he had a very warm attitude towards Liu Qi.

"General Zhang doesn't have to be like this. He's just a downer. General Huwei is like thunder." Liu Qi was a little uncomfortable with Zhang Liao's enthusiasm. Is the Han family clan so respectable?

Zhang Liao, like Gao Shun, is a pure general. He doesn't know how to speak politely. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "My eldest son, I want to cross the river here, but I have no water army. Shouldn't I be a general of the water army under the son's account? Little, I wonder if your son can recommend one or two."

He didn't directly ask for help. He just surrendered, the other party dared to help, and Zhang Liao didn't dare to use it. He just wanted to recruit a few experienced navy generals. Can you recruit two to replace Gan Ning?

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao wanted to scold his mother, that Gan Ning was really unreliable, otherwise they wouldn't have watched Liu Cong run away.

"There are quite a few generals in Jingzhou who are good at water warfare, and the strongest among them is General Zhongye." Liu Qi thought about it and said, "Of course, there are other generals of the water army, but I always feel that they are worse than General Zhongye. ."

"Wenpin is not bad." Wei Yan nodded in approval. When the Nanyang Army's equipment was not up, he suffered a few losses in the hands of Wenpin. Basically, Wenpin was not as good as Wei Yan when he went ashore, but at the water's edge. Wei Yan couldn't get a job offer.

Later, with the continuous crossbow, it gradually suppressed the Jingzhou army. As long as they did not enter the water, the Jingzhou army would not be an opponent.

Now... it seems that the art of war is useless. As long as it is not too stupid and has sufficient logistics, there is no reason for the Nanyang Army to lose. Too many battle losses are shameful.

Gu "It's a pity that Wenpin has already crossed the river." Zhang Liao couldn't do anything about it. The Jingzhou army would definitely block the river surface. If they want to cross the river now, the opponent will definitely limit the advantage of the water army, or even directly Attack the ships and navy here.

Besides, if a general like Wen Ping can really be captured, the Jingzhou navy is actually nothing to be afraid of.

"I heard Brother Liu Pan say one person before, it was Huang Zhong, a veteran of Jingzhou. When the Yellow Turbans were in chaos in the early years, he once broke through a thousand troops. General Wenpin and Brother Liu Pan have all been instructed by this person, but because of his old age, he has never been able to It has to be reused." Liu Qi recalled.

"How old is this person?" Zhang Liao wondered.

"In all respects, it should be of a rare age."

"Seventy?" Wei Yan shook his head: "Then don't look for it, let others spend their old age in peace."

It's only a matter of time before it hits Jingnan, there's no need to find a veteran and disturb the peace.

"Where is this person?" Zhang Liao looked at Liu Qi and asked.

Liu Qi shook his head: "I just heard about it. As for who this person is, I don't know where he lives now."

"Young Master Lao." Zhang Liao sighed, and it seemed that he could only think of another way to cross the river.

"General, I have a method! Maybe I can try it." After sending Liu Qi away, Wei Yan came to Zhang Liao and suggested to Zhang Liao.

"Oh?" Zhang Liao looked at Wei Yan.

"The last commander will lead a group of troops to cross the river pretending to be a defeated army from Jingzhou, looking for an opportunity to burn their warships, and the general will take advantage of the situation to wave his troops across the river!" Wei Yan looked at Zhang Liaodao.

The biggest problem now is not that there is no boat, but that there are boats that dare not cross the river. Don’t look at the fact that hitting the Jingzhou army on the ground is like hitting a son. If their armor sank in the river, it doesn’t really matter whether they will fall into the water or not. Now, at most there is a bubble on the river surface to prove that they have been here.

Without a navy general, without a navy, wanting to cross the river is delusional.

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard the words, this is also a way.

"General." Xu Huang suddenly looked at Zhang Liao and said, "My lord defeated the vine armour of Nawugo in the southern border and captured a lot of vine armour. When he left, he left 3,000 pairs for the general. ?"

"Tengjia?" Wei Yan looked at Xu Huang suspiciously: "How does this thing cross the river?"

"This rattan armor is made of rattan by the Ugo people, and it is obtained after repeatedly soaking in oil. It is not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also does not sink in water. Our soldiers wear rattan armor to cross the river, even if the ship sinks, it will not enter the water, and This thing is quite light, and it is the best armor for underwater combat!" Xu Huang said.

"There are such strange objects? Or three thousand pairs?" Wei Yan asked in surprise.

"Not bad!" Xu Huang nodded.

Zhang Liao pondered: "In this case, I have a plan, so I will follow the plan of the leader, and let the leader pretend to be the Jingzhou defeated army and infiltrate the enemy's army, but there is no need to burn the boat~lightnovelpub.net~ Gongming will lead the Tengjia army. Crossing the river, you two will attack from inside and outside, and destroy the enemy's water village, and when things are done, I will send troops to cross the river!"

It's not a clever strategy, but in fact most of the strategies don't seem too clever, as long as they apply. Zhang Liao's side Wei Yan and Xu Huang are bold and careful, with the talent of generals, and the other is calm and capable, and they are also talents who are on their own. , If these two can cooperate, and Zhang Liao is dispatched in the middle, it will not be a problem to break the water village and connect the main force to cross the river.

"The last general takes orders!" Wei Yan nodded immediately.

These people who have been in the past naturally have to use the Nanyang Army. Nanyang was originally from Jingzhou, but it was later occupied by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. It has never really belonged to Jingzhou, and their words are similar. There are even many Jingzhou people in the Nanyang Army , Now that the Jingzhou military has suffered a major defeat, morale is low, and the army is in chaos. On the Jiangbei side, there are still Jingzhou troops fleeing from time to time. He can still do it with people and horses.

Xu Huang also nodded, he recognized Wei Yan's ability, and the two sides cooperated. Although the firearms such as the Vulcan Cannon, Detonating Thunder, and Sky Thunder were missing this time, the military strength of the Shu army was not bad. Melee combat will certainly be able to defeat these Jingzhou troops.

"Go get ready, how to do it, you decide!" Zhang Liao directly delegated power. It's good for his subordinates to be capable. You don't have to worry too much. They will do it themselves. Just capture Jingnan!
