Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 954
Following Gao Shun's series of troop movements on the front line, Xiangyang quickly gave support. The [-] troops that had set out before were only [-] miles away from Jiangxia, and the battle to cross the river was about to start.

"The Xiangyang garrison has been mobilized, and it seems that there is a big move." In Xiangyang City, on an ordinary carriage, a young girl held a secret report and said to herself: "Brother must be notified as soon as possible, and there must be no delay." ,,,,,,"

Just as the girl wanted to convey the information from Xiangyang to Jiangdong, there was another news that the current great general of the Han Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Zhao, had arrived in Jingzhou today under the protection of an army of [-]. All of this came like this Suddenly, no one knew that King Zhao was coming. After all, Gongsun Xu's status is so noble. If he wants to travel, he will definitely notify the officials below. But this time, the Jingzhou officials only announced the moment Gongsun Xu entered Jingzhou know.

"Sure enough, we're going to cross the river..." The girl in the carriage couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to tell her brother the news, so that the Jiangdong soldiers could get ready.

In Nanyang, [-] cavalry guard Gongsun Xu marched forward. In order to unify the two sides of the Yangtze River, Gongsun Xu made preparations for more than half a year. From the deployment of troops, the delivery of materials, to the arrangement of generals, etc., Gongsun Xu has made sufficient preparations. In the past few years Gao Shun was not idle either. He often urged his subordinates to keep an eye on the Jiangdong Army in Jingzhou, and sometimes deliberately made some big moves to confuse the enemy. Even, there were two times when Gao Shun commanded his subordinates to cross the river successfully, but Later he was beaten back.

The north bank of the Yangtze River has been developing and making progress. Whether it is military or economic, thanks to the efforts of Gongsun Xu and his staff, the north bank of the Yangtze River has become more and more prosperous. In comparison, the south bank of the Yangtze River is much worse.The opening of the Silk Road also stimulated Jiangdong’s economy to a certain extent, but unfortunately, in order to prevent a large number of secret agents from lurking on the other side of the river, Sun Ce ordered the caravans on the other side not to cross the river, and the two sides could not cross the border if they needed to trade, so It seems that the merchants in Jiangdong can only exchange their goods with the merchants on the other side to make a small profit.

In order to block the Yangtze River and resist the army on the other side of the river, Sun Ce has not stopped in the past few years. First, he sunk the river and created artificial obstacles to prevent the warships of the Jingzhou navy from crossing the river. To prevent the army from the other side from coming over, in short, Sun Ce is not willing to stand still.

It has to be said that Sun Ce's series of measures are still somewhat effective, but if the Jingzhou navy is really determined to cross the river, these measures can only delay them for a little time. Are you all on guard?Of course not.

Just before dawn, the horn of attack sounded in the Jiangxia barracks. Before that, most of the soldiers just felt that today was a bit abnormal. They buried their pots and rice for an hour earlier than before. Many experienced generals vaguely guessed It might be time for another assault drill, but when the chiefs of the various ministries conveyed Gao Shun's commander-in-chief, the soldiers knew that it was time to start the battle of crossing the river.

The ships of the Jingzhou Navy traveled to and from the river to remove the sediment in the river that hindered the progress of the warships. As for the iron chains, soldiers had already used gunpowder and kerosene to solve them.

On the other side of the general, outside the camp of the Jiangdong Army, Sun Ce galloped in and immediately ordered to beat drums to gather the generals, and the soldiers of the three armies immediately went on alert.

"Gongjin, do you understand what's going on on the other side?" In the big tent, Sun Ce stared at the map and asked, "It's an exercise or it's really going to cross the river. Why didn't there be any information from the detailed work?"

"I can't guess right now, but if it's an exercise, then this move is too loud." Zhou Yu replied: "No matter what, we must fight back, and we must not let them cross the river successfully, otherwise, ,,,,,,"

"Report, Xiangyang Secret Report,,,,,,"

After Sun Ce received the secret report from the personal guard, he began to read it carefully. Looking at the familiar handwriting, Sun Ce's brows began to tighten.

"Why did my little sister go to Xiangyang again? You don't need to go to Xiangyang even if you want to inquire about the news." Sun Ce said angrily: "Gongjin, start the emergency plan immediately. This time it is not a small fight, but a decisive battle. He has already arrived Jingzhou."

"Even King Zhao is here. Alas, there is only a thousand days to be a thief. There is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. In recent years, Gao Shun has been trying to drag us down." Zhou Yu sighed: "Forget it, this day has finally come Well, fortunately, we are not completely unprepared, but, Bo Fu, where do you think their main attack direction is, is it our side or Zhong's side? We only got the news now, where is Zhong's side? Can he Is it okay?"

"Damn it, come and pass on my general order to order the Lujiang garrison to be vigilant. The army on the other side of the river is about to attack." After Sun Ce gave the order, he continued to order: "Also, let the little girl withdraw quickly. In wartime, Jingzhou There will definitely be more vigilance over there, our secret agents and intelligence personnel will definitely be hunted down by them, the elder brother will personally come to Jingzhou to supervise the battle, and will definitely not allow the news to leak out, the younger sister is in danger..."

Outside the city of Xiangyang, a group of officials, big and small, were standing outside the city. In the distance, the banner of King Zhao had appeared in sight. Gongsun Xu rode a fine horse, advancing slowly under the protection of the guards. On both sides of the road, crowds of onlookers They all shouted from time to time, they had an inexplicable reverence for Gongsun Xu.

Since the reunification of the north bank of the Yangtze River, the lives of ordinary people have become better and better, especially with the rise of commercial roads. Many ordinary people also do other things to earn some money to subsidize their families after busy farming. This quality of life is naturally improved. Lift up slowly.

"Husband, I heard that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River has unique scenery. Can we stay here for a while longer?" Several beautiful women sat on the horses beside Gongsun Xu. This time going south, several wives of Gongsun Xu accompanied him. , this road is also quite lively.

For so many years, Gongsun Xu has been busy with military affairs, and has more or less owed his family. Whenever he has the opportunity, Gongsun Xu will try his best to make up for it. This time the battle across the river will not be a big problem. Gongsun Xu brought a few wives with him , as if it was to accompany them out to relax.

"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed different from that in the north." Gongsun Xu caressed Zhen Dao's hair and said, "This time I came here to unify both sides of the Yangtze River, and then I will take you to see the other side... ,"

"He's really here..." On both sides of the road, in an inconspicuous corner, a girl disguised as a man looked at Gongsun Xu and his wives in the distance, her eyes were full of envy and sorrow .

For so many years, Gongsun Xu may not know that in the land of Jiangdong, there is such a girl who admired him very much since she was a child, especially when her elder brother mentioned him every time, this girl would show joy from the heart. Back then, Sun Ce once told Gongsun Xu that he had a younger sister, and he wanted Gongsun Xu to come to Jiangdong when he was old enough to leave the court. Unfortunately, with the changes in the situation, the promise back then became a joke, but that girl, from beginning to end Never changed my mind,,,,,,
