Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 567 The Timing of the Jiaozhou Navy

It's useless for masters to fight aggressively, and Lan Tian doesn't believe that Lu Xun is so low-end.

The letter reads: General Lan, Sun and Liu have turned against each other, there are old reasons and new reasons.Each other is the master of each other, and the overall situation should be the most important, no matter who belongs to Jingzhou in the future?Everyone should keep in mind that Cao Cao is still in the Central Plains.If one of the Sun and Liu families does not survive, the other will stand in the way of Cao Cao alone. If the three legs are missing, the tripod will not be stable. I hope the general will be cautious, respectfully, Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun is so considerate, he should be comparable to Lu Zijing." Gao Shun sighed after reading the letter.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Zi Jing is the No.

"Although this man is a scholar, he is better at fighting than Lu Meng." Gao Shun frowned and nodded.

"In fact, it doesn't matter, so what if he is resourceful? The war is ultimately about national strength. As long as we don't greedy for merit, we will slowly expand outward while developing. With Sun Quan's state in Jiangdong, it will be difficult to win the war after the end of the war." Big waves." Lan Tian's eyes were firm.

Gao Shun echoed: "What resourcefulness? Compared with Mr., he is not a local chicken and a tile dog? What's more, that kid Hu Ke is still in Jiangdong. After defeating Lu Meng and others, will we take advantage of the situation and enter Jiangdong?"

Chicken tile dog, that's Er Ye's exclusive.

After hearing this, Lan Tian replied with a wry smile: "The situation in Jiangdong is very complicated. After dealing with the intruders in Jingzhou, we have to find a way to get Jiangxia back, and then we can't continue to go east, otherwise we will easily be dragged into the quagmire by the Jiangdong gentry. Cao Cao will definitely not." Up your sleeves."

"Doesn't the art of war focus on taking advantage of the victory and pursuing the attack?" Gao Shun asked again.

"Boping, you don't understand that Jiangdong people don't do anything to fight against the outside world, but they care about defending their homeland." Lan Tian responded with a smile.

Gao Shun seemed to understand, he scratched his head and smiled, "Sir, you have such a relaxed expression, you should have your own plans, anyway, anyone who opposes you will end badly."

In the evening, Li Yi led the fleet into the Dongting water village, and the entrapment army was also stationed in Lu Xun's dry village, and the land and water soldiers moved in with their bags.

The scouts sent to the police and Jiangling direction have not heard back so far. The scouts sent to Jiangxia only set off for half a day, and it was three or four days after the news came back. Lantian, who is used to putting intelligence first, did not wait. Can't live.

It was already dark when Li Yi finished settling in the water village. Lan Tian summoned him to the dry village and told him: "Lu Xun's navy has returned to Jiangxia. The police's direction in Jiangling is unknown. It is appropriate to use the reconnaissance battalion to gather information. Your navy has to shoulder the burden." Come."

"General, it's just what you ordered." Enthusiasm burst into Li Yi's chest.

Due to the long-term supervision of shipbuilding in Jiaozhou, and the fact that Lantian deliberately controlled the size of the army and required elite soldiers, Li Yi only trained [-] sailors in a few years.

This time, it was finally pulled out to test the strength of the navy, but due to the disparity in strength, Lu Xun blocked him in the south of Dongting, and became a full-time transportation existence for the land army. Now that Lantian suddenly added a burden to Li Yi, he was not to mention how happy he was.

Lan Tian pointed to the combat map in the big tent and said, "You have two tasks now. One is to send fast boats to patrol the waters. I'm worried that Lu Xun will come back after returning to Jiangxia. However, General Guan’s rations cannot be transported out, and the follow-up supplies of our troops will also be interrupted;
The second is to sail up the river overnight and go west. I need to know the current situation of Gongan Port. In addition, we need to find a landing point to go north to Jiangling. Lu Meng will not be very interested in Wuling. His main purpose should be in Jiangling. We were captured by Lu Xun. Trapped in Jingnan for too long, I am worried that Jiangling will not be able to hold on anymore. "

Because Li Yi was in command of the Jiaozhou Navy, he had studied carefully in the Lantian war room before the war, and had a thorough understanding of the various sections of the Yangtze River and Xiangshui River, and he already had a rough idea of ​​it.

"Don't worry, general, I will convey it immediately and bring back the information ahead as soon as possible." Li Yi replied with cupped fists.

Lan Tian instructed: "Go, be careful when sailing at night."

"only."

At night, Lantian sleeps with his pillow on the sound of the waves in the Dongting.

He sat up in shock several times in his sleep, and the image of Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng always appeared in his mind.

"Sir, are you all right?"

Gao Shun and Lan Tian slept in the same tent. He had developed a vigilant military quality through years of fighting, and he could sense any disturbance.

Lan Tian sat up and murmured: "Ordinarily, I should trust Yuan Zhi and Zhong Ling, but after all, there are too few defenders in Jiangling City, and I don't know if Lu Meng has successfully attacked."

Gao Shun comforted: "Zhongling is deeply loved by General Guan, and his sharpness even surpasses that of his son Guan Ping. General Guan left him behind Jiangling City, probably to deter Xiaoxiao. I still have full confidence in him. "

"I hope Li Yi can bring me some good news. Tomorrow, Boping will arrange for the soldiers to carry supplies onto the ship. You should go to bed early." Lan Tian lay down again after speaking.

"I fall asleep easily, and my husband should also go to bed early, we still need you to turn things around, the children have grown up." As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, there was a snoring sound inside the tent.

The next day, the fallen troops were loading supplies to the boats all day long. Lan Tian was fidgeting in the camp, practicing Wu Qinxi for a while, and going to the river to watch the river flowing eastward.

Around dusk, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded from the northeast.

The reconnaissance battalion Sima Chuqing then appeared in Lantian's main account, and he brought back the good news that Zhang Fei captured Jiangxia and Sun Quan withdrew Chaisang.

Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said excitedly: "The three generals are really powerful, such a strong city was destroyed in a few days."

Chu Qing immediately explained the secret of Zhang Fei breaking the city, and then asked Lan Tian for instructions: "Sir, General Zhang sent someone to ask, what should they do now?"

Lan Tian tapped on the case and thought about it without answering. Gao Shun said to himself: "Sun Quan just withdrew back to Chaisang, and he gave up the troops in Jingzhou? It's incredible that he withdrew from Jiangxia so easily."

"It seems that those rumors have affected Sun Quan." After Lan Tian finished speaking, he turned and told Chu Qing: "You immediately send someone to Jiangxia to deliver a letter, let Yide and the others temporarily station in Jiangxia, and when Lu Xun returns to Chaisang to explain everything, Sun Quan may return. If we come to fight for Jiangxia, don’t lose Jingzhou’s east gate once we get it back, and it will be easier to defend in this way.”

"Wei." Chu Qing clasped her fists and turned to leave.

Lan Tian came to the map again. Right now, Jingzhou has closed its doors and beat dogs. It only needs to clean up the intruders one by one.

The good news gave Lan Tian a good night's sleep, and Li Yi brought back news from the police the next morning.

Sun Jiao led hundreds of warships to trap Su Fei in the Public Security Port, and blocked the east-west channel of the Yangtze River, which was the second layer of blockade outside the Dongting Shuikou, but Li Yi's scout ship was lucky and found a suitable place. landing point.

"How many boats does Sun Jiao have?" Lan Tian asked.

Li Yi clasped his fists and replied, "There are three to four hundred warships, large and small."

Lan Tian frowned and nodded: "It seems that Sun Jiao's navy is similar to Lu Xun's. It may be Lu Meng's strategy to encircle but not attack. These ships should carry the supplies of the invading army, so they are unwilling to fight with Su Dudu. General Li, you take action." The time has come.”
