The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 603

When Lu Xun arrived outside Yichun city, the supervisor Gu Shao was already waiting for him outside the city.After Gu Shao welcomed Lu Xun in, he didn't arrange a place for Lu Xun to rest first.

It should be said that in Gu Shao's view, Lu Boyan's previous planning for the battle in southern Jingzhou is still very clever.However, the enemy they faced this time was also so clever that Lu Boyan turned the battle into a bad one like it is today.Lu Boyan has no time to rest now, so it is better to discuss important matters with him first.

So, after Gu Shao brought Lu Xun to the council hall, he took out several battle reports and showed them to Lu Xun.

When Lu Xun was in Xiajun City, he was besieged by Zhang Fei's army. Although he treated it indifferently, it was impossible to be completely indifferent no matter what, so the rest at that time was not very good.

After breaking through the siege, Lu Xun ran eastward for nearly two days, and his mental state was extremely tense, almost without rest.Therefore, Lu Boyan, who has always been high-spirited, actually seems a little sluggish now.

Of course Lu Xun wanted to rest first, but Gu Shao was not an ordinary person, he was the supervisor sent by the main attacker, and came here to monitor his every move.Therefore, even though Gu Shaoming pretended that he would not intentionally make things difficult for him, or intentionally falsely accuse him of the main attacker, he still had to show Gu Shao the utmost respect.

Therefore, the first battle report that Lu Xun opened was about Han Dang: Han Dang was defeated by the Jingzhou army, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

If Lu Xun didn't frown on this news, he would definitely be inhuman.That's an army that lost six or seven people, that's a big army!

But because he had already guessed about Han Dang's failure earlier, Lu Xun relaxed his brows relatively quickly.

What's more, didn't Lu Xun break out this time to deal with these unfavorable situations?Moreover, he has now begun to make corresponding preparations.Therefore, in Lu Xun's view, the worst is about to pass, and he will give the main attack and give an explanation to those who oppose him.Although this explanation, in his own view, is really incomplete.

The second battle report is about Lukou Governor Quan Cong.

Quan Cong arbitrarily withdrew the Jiangdong navy from the battle area with the Jiangzhou navy, and now the army has definitely been gathered and stationed in Lukou Port.Then it means that Dongting Lake, which has been fought hard again, is lost again, and the lake area is now controlled by the Jiangzhou navy.

Faced with such a battle report, Lu Xun really felt a headache.He absolutely does not want Quan Cong's navy to give up the upstream Yangtze River waterway to the Jiangzhou navy.Because previous experience has proved that the Yangtze River waterway to the Dongting Lake area is the most efficient channel for Zhang Fei's army to transport grain and grass.

Therefore, Lu Xun believes that even if you, Quan Cong, know that Han Dang was defeated and your navy has lost the attention of the enemy, even if this is indeed the case, you should not retreat so much all at once.Your best bet is to retreat to the Yangtze River waterway near Yunmengze, which is just above Dongting Lake.If you defend there, Dongting Lake still belongs to Jiangdong Army.

But Quan Cong was not like this, his retreat was too big, so big that Lu Xun could hardly bear it.

However, how did Lu Xun know that when someone like Quan Cong made the decision to withdraw troops, it definitely went through a very complicated psychological struggle.

Moreover, Quan Cong is definitely a general with a high IQ. The reason why he withdrew his troops like that was because he had a comprehensive view of the current overall situation.He believes that the Jiangdong Army has almost no strength to fight the Shu Han army in the southern area of ​​Jingzhou.So now is the time to prepare for a strategic shrinkage.

Quan Cong never imagined that Lu Xun's will is so tenacious.After his large-scale battle plan was completely overthrown by the enemy, he was still able to think about continuing to make a comeback.

The two completely different temperaments and two completely different views of Lu Xun and Quan Cong can only create their completely different views on the situation.As a result, Quan Cong's well-intentioned withdrawal caused Lu Xun more annoyance than Han Dang's defeat.

However, in fact, Quan Cong caused Lu Xun the greatest troubles beyond this.

Quan Cong served as the governor of Lukou Port.Although the rank of this position is not particularly high, its authority is very large, even large enough to make Lu Xun, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, helpless to him.

This can be seen from the number of navy troops stationed in Lukou Port all the year round.The current number of Lukou Port navy troops is almost as large as Lu Xun's current "army" fighting in southern Jingzhou!It is definitely half of the power in Lu Xun's hands.

Therefore, facing such a general who controlled the same strength as himself, Lu Xun suddenly discovered that he, the highest governor, could not easily win Quan Cong.

Lu Xun even had an idea in his mind: Quan Cong retreated without authorization, clearly showing his strength to himself, and making himself helpless against him!
In fact, because of Quan Cong's age and qualifications, as well as being born in a scholarly family, it is impossible for him to compete with Lu Xun for the position of governor.Therefore, the relationship between these two people has always been relatively harmonious.

But after this incident, the knot between Lu Xun and Quan Cong was resolved.

The third battle report made Lu Xun a little happy, but he was not happy about it: Han Dang joined forces with Quan Cong, and led his troops eastward from Lukou Port, trying to break Zhang Fei's army against Xia Jun. blockade.

Lu Xun sighed, Han Dang sent troops this time for nothing.What's more, he, Lu Xun, had already escaped from the siege of Zhang Fei's army by relying on his own strength, and now he is watching the battle report between him and Quan Cong carefully!

Moreover, Lu Xun was afraid that something might happen to Han Dang's troops, so he discussed with Gu Shao and decided to let Han Dang lead the army into Puqi to garrison.Therefore, Lu Xun issued new orders to Han Dang in his own name.

But Lu Xun's order was sent too late, and Han Dang's army had already reached the southern area of ​​Puqi.Zhang Fei's ambush troops failed to hit the escaped enemy troops in Xiajun City, but waited for Han Dang's troops by accident.

It seems that Han Dang is destined to be elected as the most unlucky general in the world this year.Only a few days later, he was about to fall into the enemy's ambush circle again.But this time, can he still be as lucky as last time in the west of Yiyang City, and escape with his life?

But to fate.Now Han Dang can only rely on the favor of fate.

Although this year's summer is about to pass, the weather today can be said to be still hot enough.The scorching sun was directly overhead, and it almost felt like being thrown into a steamer.

Han Dang led about [-] troops on the way to Xiajun. The team was moving very fast, and all kinds of weapons gleamed coldly in the sun.

At this time, Han Dang suddenly sent an order to stop the team temporarily.

Many soldiers became happy in their hearts, thinking that Han Dang was finally willing to let them stop and have a rest.Therefore, many of them have already started looking around, trying to find a shady place to sit down and rest.

But to their disappointment, Han Dang had no intention of telling the soldiers to stop and rest at all.The soldiers were strictly ordered by Han Dang to stay where they were and not to move.

The reason why Han Dang did this was because he had learned the experience and lessons from his ambush in the mountains last time.A mountain depression has appeared in front of it, which is in the middle of two mountains. The lush trees on the mountain are layered on top of each other. There are some gravels on the mountain road, and there are many deep car marks and potholes, which are obviously caused by the heavy rain before. At the time, the convoy that took the road from here stayed behind.

Han Dang was quite familiar with the terrain here, and knew that as long as he passed here, he should be able to enter Xiajun's territory.

Out of safety needs, Han Dang immediately dispatched scouts to investigate the situation in the mountains.The mountain is not too big, and the scout team came back soon, and did not find any enemy ambushes.

Only then was Han Dang relieved, and immediately ordered the army to set off again.So, amidst the frowns of the soldiers, their team marched again.

However, the mountain road was not very wide, and the road conditions were extremely bad. It was impossible for Han Dang's army to move as fast as before.But one thing is very good for the soldiers. The dense trees on both sides of the mountain road cover most of the scorching sun for them, allowing them to enjoy a rare shade.

Moreover, as the troops filed into the mountain, Han Dang's troops had to be pulled into a very long team. The army formation they were familiar with could no longer be arranged.Han Dang was also helpless, after all, he was too restricted by the terrain.

Han Dang felt that the terrain here was somewhat similar to the west of Yiyang City. In order to get out of this mountain road as soon as possible, he kept ordering the generals at all levels to urge the soldiers to move forward. He wanted to get out of here in the shortest possible time.

But the soldiers had been scorched by the scorching sun for such a long time, and it was rare to find such a shady path. How could they be willing to walk too fast, and then go outside to be roasted by the sun?

Therefore, the soldiers all walked slowly, no matter how eagerly their commander urged them to move forward.

When Han Dang saw this, he was really anxious, and he couldn't help but galloped forward, raised his whip and whipped several soldiers who were procrastinating on purpose.

But Han Dang's impatience did not have any deterrent effect.The soldiers are all old fritters. See how Han Dang alone can win all the soldiers in a large army like theirs?
