The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 685
After Samoke's army left, Liu Chan also began to think about it.Now that the affairs in the rear are about to be dealt with, it seems that I should also go to the front line to see the situation of the war.

Liu Chan immediately approached Yu Jin to discuss the matter.Yu Jin did not object to Liu Chan's approach.

Previously, the reason why they continued to stay in Xiangtan was very simple, because Xiangtan was located in the middle, so it was convenient for the prince to send and receive information from various troops.But now, with the attack of Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng's two large fleets, Lukou Port's status has dropped to a secondary position.Therefore, it seems logical for the son to cross the Xiangshui River at this time, and even go to Zhang Fei's army in person.

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately decided to leave for Puqi three days later.As for the reason why Liu Chan didn't set off right away, it wasn't profound. He just wanted to see that Zhuge Qiao's injuries were completely stable and he regained consciousness before he could leave Xiangtan with peace of mind.

Fortunately, in the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Qiao finally recovered his sanity. Liu Chan immediately went to visit Zhuge Qiao in the ward, and told him that he had written to Yuan Zai about his injury. Chengdu's Zhuge military division.Then, Liu Chan also told Zhuge Qiao that he was about to leave for Puqi.

Liu Chan knew Zhuge Qiao's current mood, and must have regretted not being able to follow him to the front line, so he comforted Zhuge Qiao and asked him to stay in Xiangtan to rest.Zhuge Qiao has always been considerate, so he had no choice but to agree with tears.

Early the next morning, Liu Chan took Yu Jin, Xu Xiang and others, as well as the Jiefan Army that had been reorganized by Yu Jin, out of the gate of Xiangtan.I don't know what Xu Xiang's mood was when he saw this trouble-relieving army again.He might feel a little strange and awkward, after all, the current members of this army were almost all from his left army before.

Huang Quan sent Liu Chan all the way to the gate of the city.Liu Chan then told Huang Quan that he must take good care of Zhuge Qiao's injuries, and then led his army to the Xiangshui ferry.

At this time, it is already October.

Almost at the same time, both Youtu and Peng Qi of Shanyue received the battle plan sent to them by Liu Chan.It should be said that these two letters from Liu Chan went through many twists and turns before they were finally delivered to You Tu and Peng Qi.

Now, all the passages from Shu Han to Yangzhou are actually strictly controlled by the Jiangdong Army.Therefore, it is almost impossible for Liu Chan's two letters to be delivered directly to the two of them.In addition, the matter is of great importance, and it is even more impossible for Liu Chan to risk letting people directly cross the various defense areas of the Jiangdong Army and enter Shanyue's territory.

Therefore, these two letters from Liu Chan actually went through the channel first, and entered Yuzhang through the communication system of Quan Cong's navy, and then were handed over to the secret agents of the Shu Han who were lurking there, and finally reached Youtuhao Peng It's in the hands of two people.That's why the two letters were received by the two of them after such a long delay.

Of course, in addition to explaining the various steps of this battle to them in detail, Liu Chan also accepted Yu Jin's suggestion in the letter, and rewarded the two of them, so that they both got the title of General Shunyi at the same time.As for whether the two of them can be named marquises, that's not what Liu Chan can say now.He gave Youtu and Peng Qi the titles of generals. In fact, they were all killed first and played later. Now the documents to ask for seals from Chengdu are still on the way.

As for the title of a Marquis and an official, of course the meanings between the two cannot be the same.Fenghou is definitely a big matter, and it needs to be treated with caution. Liu Chan dare not mess around in this matter.

Youtu is about 45 to [-] years old, and his figure is like that of Jiangdong people. In fact, he is not very tall, but it should be said that he is very strong, and his body looks a little fat.Coupled with the fact that his face is covered with beards, the image of the whole person looks a bit fierce.People who don't know his identity often mistake him for a water thief at the first glance.

Now that He Qi's army was transferred away by Sun Junzheng, but his troops were still being pursued by Zhou Bing's army, he was of course very happy to receive this letter from Liu Chan.

Moreover, Liu Chan also gave hope in the letter, that is, the army of the town army strategist Shi Guangyuan should enter Yuzhang to defeat Zhou Dory around November, and eliminate the worries for his troops.Therefore, Liu Chan asked Youtu to regroup and prepare the army immediately after receiving his letter.

Peng Qi is a round younger than Youtu, about 34 or [-] years old.His appearance is surprisingly delicate, the skin on his face is smooth and fair, he doesn't look like a mountain person at all.Moreover, his stature is slightly short, and he doesn't look like a fierce general.

In fact, although this Peng Qi commanded the Shanyue tribe, he and his ancestors were originally Han Chinese.It can also be seen from this that the degree of Sinicization of the Shanyue people is already very high, and they can completely realize peaceful coexistence with the Han people.The reason why they often launch rebellions is nothing more than resisting the oppression of the government, and it is not because they deliberately exclude Han people-there are a large number of Han people among them, how can they reject them?
Therefore, once a certain tribe in Shanyue was conquered by the Jiangdong Army and forced to move to the plains to settle down, their living habits would hardly conflict with the Han people there.This is also another important reason why the Jiangdong Army is so keen on launching a war of conquest against Shanyue.

The task Liu Chan set for Peng Qi was to prepare his troops and attack Yichun City secretly.

Peng Qi seems weak, but he is actually a man with both civil and military skills.He didn't look particularly excited after reading Liu Chan's letter like Youtu did.On the contrary, their family has been rebellious for a generation. Although his father Peng Hu is dead, his reputation is still great. With such experience, it is impossible for Peng Qi to act too recklessly.

Therefore, Peng Qi was not particularly interested in the general number that Liu Chan bestowed upon him.At that time, in order to appease him and his tribe, wasn't Sun Quan willing to give him any kind of official position?

Peng Qi thought about it for a day, and conducted some in-depth research on Liu Chan's plan. After finding that Liu Chan's plan was indeed feasible, he felt relieved.

Therefore, in the northern area of ​​Yangzhou, the two largest Shanyue tribes closest to Jingzhou finally joined the Shu Han and began to prepare for the latest battle to support the Shu Han.

Having said that, when Liu Chan was crossing the Xiangshui River, he received a combat report from Deng Ai.

Deng Ai is Deng Ai. Under Liu Chan's command, except for Meng Xi, almost no one has prepared a combat report, which can be compared with Deng Ai.However, the combat map drawn up by Deng Ai is definitely a top-notch work. Under Liu Chan's command, it can even be said that among all the generals in the entire Shu Han, almost no one can equal it.

Liu Chan is even unique to Deng Ai, so I couldn't help but check the combat map that Deng Ai attached to the document first.Being able to read such a detailed and perfect combat map is actually a kind of enjoyment for Liu Chan.

After reading the combat map, Liu Chan looked at the combat package.In the report, Deng Ai stated to Liu Chan that since the Jiaozhou righteous men stationed in Buzhi in Yichun and Lu Dai's death-defying army stationed in Luling County formed a deterrent force, he wanted to take various measures. Tactics are broken.

Deng Ai's army will first attack Yichun in a surprise attack.He actually had two purposes for doing this: first, near Yichun, it was the agreed place to join forces with Peng Qi's Shanyue Army, and he wanted to join forces with Peng Qi as soon as possible;

Second, Deng Ai predicted that his army, in cooperation with the Shanyue Army, would definitely be able to encircle Yichun.At that time, Lu Dai will definitely have to come out of Luling County. He will defeat Lu Dai's death-defying army on the way, and then continue to besiege Yichun City.

Of course, the reason why Deng Ai chose to besiege Yichun instead of Luling was because of his intentions.Deng Ai took a fancy to the batch of siege equipment hoarded in Liuyang City.Liu Yang is not far from Yichun, and the siege equipment can be transported relatively quickly.

Deng Ai defeated Liu Yang together with Zhang Bao, and of course he knew the situation in Liu Yang very well.Although most of the siege equipment after the war was transferred to Xiajun and Puqi by Zhang Fei, some of the equipment left in Liu Shui's fleet did not have time to be sent to the battlefield in the future, and were eventually hoarded in Liu Yang. .

Therefore, with the help of those siege equipment, Deng Ai is indeed confident that he can blast a not-so-large Yichun city into ruins in a short period of time.

Liu Chan admired Deng Ai's battle plan very much.Although there is no such thing as encircling the spot to fight for aid or lure snakes out of the hole in this era, the content of the combat report formulated by Deng Ai is probably similar to the above two strategies.

So, of course, Liu Chan was very happy to accept Deng Ai's combat report, and immediately sent an order to the defender of Liuyang City, asking him to immediately sort out all the siege equipment hoarded in the city, and make sure that they are ready to be used at any time. They were transported to Yichun City and delivered to Deng Ai's army for preparation.

In fact, Liu Chan's reply is just a formality.He had already told Deng Ai that he would not interfere in the operations of Deng Ai's army this time either.After all, Deng Ai has not disappointed Liu Chan so far, and Liu Chan also wants to fulfill Deng Ai, let him go through more experiences, and gradually grow into a military general who can stand alone for the Shu Han.

Liu Chan's expectations for Deng Ai are really great.

Liu Chan then continued on his way, hoping to reach Puqi to join Zhang Fei before the real battle between the two sides broke out.
