I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 337 The Han army crossed the Yellow River

"Jiangling is the territory of my great Han Dynasty, you guys..."

Dong Yun was about to speak a lot of official words, but Du Yu bent his bow and shot the envoy to death under the city.

Dong Yun was shocked and looked at Du Yu: "Why did you shoot him to death? Didn't you know that the two armies were fighting and didn't kill the envoy?"

"Dong Gong, the Wu army probably wants to encircle but not attack, which will deplete the morale of our army. Our army's morale is very high now. At this time, it will anger the Wu army and let the Wu army attack the city. It will be more beneficial to our army if we fight Wu army head-on."

This was the first time Dong Yun heard that the defending side was eager to start a war!

He looked at Du Yu with surprised eyes, and suddenly realized that Du Yu was only nineteen years old.

The nineteen-year-old boy is still young and has no idea of ​​the seriousness of the problem!

Li Jian, Li Jian! You actually appointed a nineteen-year-old boy to guard the rear!

Do you have cat disease?
"Yuan Kai! Do you know that the person opposite is Lu Xun!" Dong Yun asked with a long face.

"Grand Governor, let's blast open the Jiangling city wall with heavy artillery first, then the general will lead 3,000 forward troops and kill the Shu dogs without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

He threw up his sleeves and left: "Go and get ready! Get ready to fight!"

Dong Yun also wanted to rebuke Du Yu, but realized that it was too late, the envoy was already dead, and the Wu army was enraged, which boosted the enemy's morale.

"No, let's surround Jiangling first, cut off Jiangling's food and water sources, beat drums and shout around Jiangling City day and night, and deplete the morale of the Shu army. When the morale of the Shu army is low, we can then attack with heavy artillery, which will get twice the result with half the effort."

"I know!"

When the generals of the Wu army heard this, they were furious.

Why do you say that?

"Here!"

"As long as the governor gives the order, our army can eat the Shu thieves alive!"

The Han army did not launch a large-scale attack on Wancheng because Sima Shi and Chen Tai set up many defenses inside Wancheng. If the Han army entered, it would be a trap.

Then why didn't this happen when Li Heng captured Jiangling City and Xiangyang City?
The dog author gives a golden finger to the protagonist?
Because Li Heng attacked Jiangling and Xiangyang by surprise, Jiangling and Xiangyang did not know that the Han army could collapse the city walls, and it was impossible to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and time to set up various military defenses in the city.

Last time we lost a large number of soldiers and horses in Jiangling, this time we have to get the situation back no matter what.

"Do we have heavy artillery but can't use it?"

However, Lu Xun said: "The city must have been fortified long ago. The Shu army has seized the advantageous terrain, and our army may not be able to win."

Even if more people enter, the difficulty of command will increase and may cause chaos.

In fact, the current battle situation in Nanyang Wancheng is also the same.

Lu Xun had 50,000 troops. Suppose he sent 10,000 people to enter through the south gate. Ten thousand people would also have to line up to enter, which is not much different from 5,000 people.

The speaker was Zhu Ran, the cavalry general.

Especially when the war between large armies is carried out in the city, it can greatly weaken the numerical advantage.

The person in charge of the overall situation in Wancheng is Lu Zhi.

The news that the envoy was shot to death by an arrow reached Lu Xun's camp.

After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to swallow their breath.

If Lu Xun hadn't said this, no one present would be convinced.

Dong Yun in the city hurriedly directed all parties to prepare.

As a result, there was no movement at all outside the city.

In the evening, Dong Yun ran to the top of the city to see, but Wu Jun still didn't move.

"It's strange, we killed Wu Jun's envoys, but they didn't do anything?" Dong Yun was very confused, and even felt that this violated military common sense.

"Because Lu Xun wanted to drag us and consume us." Du Yu sighed, "Lu Xun is indeed a famous general. When the envoy was killed, it was treated as if nothing happened. This fully proves Lu Xun's prestige in the eyes of Wu Jun. "

If other generals are indifferent, it may affect morale. But Lu Xun was different. Wu Jun would not think that the governor was weak, but that he had a clever plan in mind.

Dong Yun finally came to his senses and said to Du Yu: "I misunderstood you before."

"Dong Gong did not misunderstand Xia Guan. What Dong Gong said is also correct."

Dong Yun nodded, feeling that Du Yu was indeed a rare talent.

He asked: "If the Wu army continues to besiege and fails to attack, how should we respond?"

"The general has said that the Jiangling battlefield is not the main battlefield. The task of the Jiangling battlefield is to stabilize it. If the Wu army does not attack, we will hold on until the general comes back."

"When will the general come back?"

"It will not exceed three months. If the lone army stays in the Central Plains for more than three months and maintains a high-speed march for a long time, let alone the Wei army will not defeat us, our own people will also be exhausted."

Dong Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of his coming here was actually that Liu Chan wanted to have a clearer understanding of the situation in Jingzhou.

Now the prime minister suddenly fell ill and the Wei army launched an attack, putting great pressure on Chengdu.

Chengdu was thinking about how to reinforce Guanzhong, and some people even proposed to transfer Li Heng to Guanzhong to stabilize the overall situation. Many people supported it.

As a result, I turned around and received a notice that Li Heng was heading north.

Now Chengdu is in a state of shock.

The war started on two fronts, and the entire army attacked on both fronts.

Who is not afraid after hearing this?
The dogs on the streets of Chengdu were trembling and their upper and lower teeth were chattering.

Liu Chan was so frightened that he didn't sleep much for more than half a month.

Women are no longer sweet, and meat is no longer fragrant.

We have to send Dong Yun to Jingzhou to have a look, and then write a letter back quickly, otherwise Liu Chan may lose weight.

"It's good that the general is well informed. Your Majesty originally planned to transfer the general to Guanzhong to take charge of the overall situation and let the prime minister have a good rest."

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The Wei thieves sent troops too quickly. Even if the general arrives in Guanzhong, the situation has deteriorated. The general can only stabilize it at best, but Jingzhou is in danger."

Yes!

Once Li Heng left, Jingzhou lacked a backbone. Sima Shi was eager to make achievements and gain prestige, so he would inevitably send his troops south.

Cao Wei has mastered heavy artillery again, and Sun Quan is beside him, ready to attack at any time.

Neither Xiangyang nor Jiangling can be saved.

After hearing this, Dong Yun said: "We have also thought of this. Your Majesty does not blame the general for heading north rashly, but there are many things that must be weighed in the end. If you can only save one, your Majesty hopes to save Guanzhong. After all, the west of Guanzhong There are also Longyou, who have a large number of war horses, and Hexi, where the Qiang people have a large number of soldiers."

"The General wants them all."

In the blink of an eye, May 30th has arrived, the last day of May.

Sima Zhao, who arrived at Chenliu, was furious when he saw that Chenliu had been looted.

He said to Chen Qian: "Where is the Shu thief now?"

"In Fengqiu."

"Fengqiu?" Sima Zhao was shocked, "Li Jian crossed the Yellow River?"

"Yes."

The expression on Sima Zhao's face slowly changed from anger to a smile. In the smile, his eyes were filled with fierceness.

"Okay! Okay! Li Jian is getting more and more courageous. He actually dares to lead an army across the Yellow River! He really thinks that I, Da Wei, are his vegetable garden!"

Crossing the Yellow River is a taboo. Crossing the Yellow River is a test for the army itself. At the same time, it is easy to slow down the pace. If the enemy catches up, it will be cut in half.

"Immediately send out cavalry to defend the Yellow River ferry. I want to eat Li Jian's soldiers and horses!"
