The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 682 Huge Strategy ([-])

As for the 6000 troops from the three eastern counties that Liu Chan sent to them, they have now assembled on the south bank of Dongting Lake and are waiting to be loaded and transported to Lukou Port.

In the end, Quan Cong actually expressed his gratitude to Liu Chan that he could adopt his previous loose arrangement.

Of course, Liu Chan knew in his heart that Quan Cong wanted to thank him for his hard work.Because of Liu Chan's heart-warming battle plan, the scope of operation is so large, and the results he wants to achieve are so great. One of the ultimate goals is to execute the order sent by General Zuo's mansion to destroy Jiangdong.

And this order from General Zuo's mansion is definitely in line with Quan Cong's wishes, because it can help him avenge his revenge.Therefore, Liu Chan felt at this time that he deserved Quan Cong's gratitude.

Then, Liu Chan did some calculations in his own mind. At this time, the 6000 people in the three eastern counties must have been shipped to Lukou Port by now.After they have been repairing there for a period of time, they will board the ship again from Lukou Port, and part of Fan Zong's fleet will be transported to the scheduled location, Jiangxia County, and landed in Shaxian on the east bank of the Yangtze River.Shi Guangyuan arranged for this army to be led by Fan Zhuang, and they needed to lie there for a while. When the war in Jiangxia County really broke out, they would suddenly join the battlefield as a surprise army and break the deadlock on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Shi Guangyuan's 1-man army from his own headquarters had already started operations together with Quan Cong's entire naval fleet and more than half of the Jiangzhou naval fleet commanded by Zhou Cheng to leave Lukou Port. Down the Yangtze River.

This is definitely a huge fleet that cannot be bigger. Quan Cong's men should have a navy of 3 people, and Zhou Cheng must at least command the Jingzhou Army's navy with more than 1 people. With only the combined fleet, the total number of navy troops alone can exceed 4!If Shi Guangyuan's headquarters is added, the total number exceeds 5!It completely exceeded the size of Zhang Fei's army!
With such a huge army, Liu Chan seemed to be delighted.But Liu Chan doesn't seem to think so.In his opinion, the size of an army should not be too large, especially in today's situation where the means of communication are extremely backward, and it should not be arranged too large, causing the army to There are too many layers of command.

Otherwise, from the professional point of view of information dissemination, the dissemination of information in the army will become extremely difficult, and the number of errors in the dissemination of orders will increase.

Even the Roman army was fully aware of this back then.Therefore, they limited the size of a legion to 1 people.If there is a rebellion in that province in the Roman Empire, they usually send two legions to fight, which is enough to quell the rebellion.The reason is that they also believe that the size of the army must not be too large, otherwise there will be situations in which the command fails.

After the Three Kingdoms, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty was originally the most likely person to be a hero in the north and south.And one of the most important reasons why he suffered hatred in the Battle of Feishui was because the army he organized was too large, it is said that there were 50 people!
What kind of scale is that, ordinary people are absolutely unimaginable.Therefore, tragedy also happened under such circumstances.When Fu Jian's front troops retreated temporarily, the rear troops could not get the news in time, so they thought the front troops were defeated and fled.In addition, most of them were soldiers of various ethnic groups who were forced to participate in the war, so they didn't have much loyalty in the first place, so of course they wanted to escape.Thus, a fatal defeat was inevitable.

Therefore, in Liu Chan's order to Lukou Port, he very solemnly emphasized to Shi Guangyuan, Quan Cong, Fan Zhuang, and Zhou Cheng that in the course of the next battle between them, in addition to maintaining In addition to good cooperation, the most important thing is to divide the size of the army.

Having said that, with the support of good military experience, Zhang Fei wisely re-divided the army under his command before the war.

Although Shi Guangyuan and others didn't seem to understand Liu Chan's intentions very well, they still decided to follow Liu Chan's order.Therefore, they did not integrate all the navy forces together, but used Quan Cong's navy as the front army, and the Jiangzhou navy led by Zhou Cheng as the rear army, and Shi Guangyuan's troops were handed over to him. Continue to direct by yourself.In this case, the scale of each army will not be too large to be unable to command.

The two naval forces of Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng definitely played a decisive role in this battle against Jiangdong.

According to Liu Chan's combat plan, the enemy targeted by this naval army was not actually any member of Sun Jun's army.There are actually two targets they want to face: first, the base camp of the Jiangdong Navy, and the base camp of the Lu Fan Navy in Yuzhang!Then, it is extremely close to Moling, which is also the fatal throat of Moling, the Zhu Zhishui army at Ruxukou.

It should be said that whether it is the base camp of the Jiangdong Navy in Yuzhang or Ruxukou in the north, its status in Jiangdong is higher than that of Lukou Port.However, due to Jiangdong's recent large-scale raid on Jingzhou, the military strength of Lukou Port has been greatly enhanced.

In this way, it led to a very serious consequence for the Jiangdong navy: Yuzhang's navy base camp was empty.As for Ruxukou, the water army there is used to fight against Cao Wei's army, so of course it is impossible to mobilize.

Therefore, after Quan Cong's secret rebellion, the strength of the navy at Lukougang will definitely surpass that of the stronghold of the Jiangdong navy at Yuzhang.In addition, the news of Quan Cong's rebellion has not been leaked, so they were asked to adopt a surprise attack strategy to completely defeat Lu Fan's navy, creating the most favorable conditions.

Now, Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng's army must be under the cover of Quan Cong's Jiangdong Navy banner, thinking about setting off at Poyang Lake at full speed.

As for the Zhu Zhishui army in Ruxukou, Liu Chan did not expect too much of the results he wanted to achieve.

The Jiangdong navy there can be described as a battle-hardened division, ready for battle at any time.Therefore, Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng's fleet, after defeating Lu Fan's navy, would be too reluctant to defeat Ruxu's saliva army again.

Liu Chan's order to Quan Cong and the others was to dispatch a fleet to completely block the exit connecting Chaohu Lake, where the Ruxukou Navy was located, to the Yangtze River, and to completely block the long Yangtze River waterway between Ruxukou and Qu'a Port near Moling. That is, to completely block the possibility of the Jiangdong garrison on the north bank of the Yangtze River returning to aid Yangzhou.In this way, Liu Chan can feel more at ease in a life-and-death battle with the Jiangdong Army in the southern part of Jingzhou and the next mainland of Yangzhou!

As for Shi Guangyuan's headquarters, after Quan Conghao and Zhou Cheng's fleet captured Lu Fan's Yuzhang naval headquarters, they would immediately go ashore to fight.They will conquer Yuzhang first, and then continue to attack southward, defeat Zhou Dory's army, join Youtu's men and horses, and then launch an attack on Haihun where Sun Jun is.

Once the attack on Haihun was successful, the result was that it completely blocked one of the most important retreat routes for Sun Jun's army, and also found the first strategic support point for the subsequent large-scale strategic encirclement.

In fact, if Shi Guangyuan was lucky enough, he might be able to successfully behead Sun Jun in Haihun, which would have a key impact on the entire battle situation.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the existence of such three key strategic tasks in this huge army that their status is so good that it completely surpasses the frontline troops under Zhang Fei's command, and has become the main force for the Shu Han against the Jiangdong Army this time. The most critical force in the battle.

Moreover, now that they have all started to carry out the missions of the combat plan, and the distance is far away, Liu Chan can hardly command them anymore, so he can only pray in his heart, hoping that God will continue to take care of himself, Shi Guangyuan and the others, and also Continuing to favor the Shu Han will allow the army to achieve the predetermined results.

Therefore, it can be said that Liu Chan has almost no idea to intervene in the document from Lukou Port sent by Xu Xiang.

However, Liu Chan still asked Xu Xiang to send a letter to Fan Zhuang who was still staying in Lukou Port in the name of Liu Chan after he went down, to give him some encouragement, and to warn him that the 6000 people he is now leading The troops of the three eastern counties must pay the most attention to concealment after the sand Xian landed, and no mistakes are allowed. They are a very important force for the decisive victory in Jiangxia County.
