Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1129 A crushing defeat

Soon, Jiang Xia's army withdrew from the city, and fled Jiangxia County in embarrassment. Fortunately, they had already captured Xiangyang, so they didn't have to worry about where to stay.

After Jiang Xia's army left, Guo Jia immediately stopped the shelling.

"Those bastards run fast."

In fact, he also wanted to catch up and wipe out this force completely. Unfortunately, the shells and gunpowder were exhausted when attacking the water village. Attacking Jiang Xia was just a bluff.

Besides, it is impossible to take down a city with the artillery of two gunboats.

Seeing that the Yunzhou navy took down Jiangxia in half a day, especially seeing the overwhelming power of the artillery, the Jiangdong navy only felt scalp numb.

You must know that the fortress of Jiangxia has been fought for many years, and even the little overlord Sun Ce died in this land.

In the eyes of Jiang Dongjun, Jiang Xia is like a moat that cannot be jumped.

Just such a natural moat was overthrown by more than a dozen ships of the Yunzhou Army in half a day, and with an overwhelming advantage.

Artillery?
A flash of fear flashed in Jiang Dongjun's eyes.

Jiang Xia can't last for half a day, what about them?How long can they last?
Cold sweat dripped from the backs of the generals.

Fortunately, Guo Jia is Jiang Dong's son-in-law, otherwise they would have disappeared.

At this time, the generals of the Jiangdong Army couldn't sit still. Whether it was the veteran faction or the young and strong faction, they were all frightened by the thunderbolt method of the Yunzhou Army, and they sent envoys to see Guo Jia.

Dong Xi was sent by the young men, and Cheng Pu was sent by the elders. On the one hand, they congratulated Guo Jia for defeating Jiang Xia, but on the other hand, they wanted to find out who Guo Jia was going to hit next?
Seeing these terrified Jiangdong generals, Guo Jia waved his hand.

"Jiangxia City is yours now."

what?
Hearing this, General Jiangdong was shocked again.

how?

Guo Jia's face darkened, and he sneered, "Could it be that you don't even have this ability?"

Jiang Xia's army has been taken to Xiangyang by Kuai Yue, and the rest is to write about local armed forces. With the strength of the Jiangdong Army, it is no effort at all.

no no!

The generals hurriedly shook their heads.

They, Jiang Dong, dreamed of taking Jiang Xia down.

Now Guo Jia gave them Jiang Xia who had been captured, which made them a little unbelievable.

"General, are you really giving Jiang Xia to us?"

Cheng Pu asked hard.

how?

Guo Jia snorted and said, "Do you want me to clean up the mess and give it to you in a beautiful way?"

Dare not dare!

Cheng Pu shook his head again and again.

He was a little too excited to speak.

Jiangxia is the east gate to Jingzhou. Taking Jiangxia means that Jiangdong can attack Xiangfan at any time.

This takes the initiative completely.

From Sun Jian down, Jiangdong has dreamed of obtaining this strategic location.

"Then what are you still doing?"

Guo Jia waved his sleeves and said, "Go in quickly to eliminate the remaining forces, and then clean up the mess."

Yes Yes Yes!
General Jiangdong nodded again and again.

They have been hit by this sudden luck.

This was really too unexpected, and the accident made them a little unable to believe everything in front of them.

Both the veteran faction and the young and strong faction started to act tacitly, and took this glorious victory into their pockets.

As a result, all of Chaisang's naval forces were dispatched to wipe out Jiangxia's remaining forces, and began to officially settle in Jiangxia.

Since then, Jiangxia has become the strategic fulcrum of Jiangdong.

……

Lord!

Lu Su was a little puzzled.

Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingzhou. Taking Jiangxia means that Jingzhou is safe from now on. They finally took down Jiangxia. Why did they give it to Jiangdong?

Guo Jia also shook his head helplessly.

"As soon as Cai Mao died, our layout in Xiangyang was completely shattered. Without Xiangfan, it would be meaningless for us to occupy Jiangxia, and this place is a must for both Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Our ship The ammunition of the team is basically exhausted, and there is no way to replenish it in a short time. Even if Xu Rong and the others are left to guard, they cannot stop the attack of the two families. Rather than being attacked on both sides, it is better to throw it to the Jiangdong army. After they occupy Jiangxia , will definitely not withdraw easily. In this way, they will cut off the way for them to reconcile with the three surnames in Xiangyang."

That's it!

Hearing this, Lu Su also suddenly realized.

This is indeed a helpless thing.

If Xiangfan is still in the hands of Cai Mao, Guo Jiada can conquer Jiangxia and combine the two territories into one, allowing Xiangyang to continue to confront Jiangdong.

Guo Jia only needs to open up the passage from Jizhou to Jingzhou by land, and then he can reach into the south of the Yangtze River.

As long as Yunzhou's army can gain a foothold in Xiangfan, with a steady stream of logistics supplies, Guo Jia's fleet can sweep Jiangnan, and even take Jiangdong into its pocket.

In this way, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others in the Central Plains were surrounded, cutting off their escape route to Jiangnan or Jingxiang.

Now that Cai Mao is dead, this plan will go bankrupt.

One careless move, and everything is lost.

Guo Jia's big encirclement plan has been declared shattered.

The plan for this encirclement has two key nodes, one in Jiangdong and the other in Xiangyang.

Jiangdong's attitude towards Xiangyang determines the success or failure of the plan, so Guo Jia married Sun Jian and won their support.

Cai Mao's Xiangyang is also an important part of the plan.

As long as Xiangfan is in Guo Jia's hands, Jiangxia will be the meat on the chopping board, either being annexed by Jiangdong or defeated by Guo Jia.

It's a pity that these two nodes were cracked by Zhuge Liang.

He first used tricks to get rid of Sun Ce, who was the main fighter, and then provoked Liu Biao's daughter to assassinate Cai Mao, so that overnight, Guo Jia lost the opportunity.

This Crouching Dragon really lives up to its reputation!

If you don't make a move, you will die, and if you make a move, it will be a killer move.

Lu Su suddenly remembered a sentence that Jing Xiang had circulated.

If the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks get one, they can win the world.

In the two rounds of contests between the young man and the lord, he was not at a disadvantage.

Really is the enemy of the lord!

Although Jiangxia was defeated in the first battle, it was not a crime of war.

If he had Yunzhou's firearms in his hands, it is still unclear who will win this battle?
Thinking of this, Lu Su's heart suddenly trembled.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

The plan to intervene in Jingxiang has gone bankrupt, and it doesn't make sense for them to stay here.

Guo Jia got up and walked a few steps.

"For the current plan, we can only connect Jiangdong and face Xiangfan together. We will try our best to use Jiangdong's power to eliminate the three surnames in Xiangyang again."

Lu Su nodded.

Now there is only this way.

Zhuge Liang, a young man, was too far away. In the two confrontations between the two, Guo Jia did not have the advantage.

The only thing that can be regarded as an advantage is to take down Jiangxia and take down this strategic point.

Of course, this is also due to the sharpness of firearms.

Without this advantage, Guo Jia's Jingzhou Grand Plan would have been a complete failure.
