Chapter 356

Yuezhou.

After more than half a month of preparation, all 200000 troops have arrived. Looking around, the wharf is full of ships.

There are large merchant ships and small fishing boats. The ships in the whole Dongting Lake Basin, no matter how small, have been raided by sun hope.

"Adoptive father, why don't you sit in Yuezhou and let the child and his fourth brother go!"

"Yes, adoptive father, you are now the head of our great Chu state."

"You don't have to persuade me again. This time, the adoptive father must personally break the thief to pieces to vent his hatred!"

Zhang Xianzhong waved impatiently. Obviously, he was determined to deal with Qin Huan himself.

Seeing that his attitude was still firm, sun Wang and AI nengqi had to give up. Then sun Wang pointed to the map and said:

"Adoptive father, now most of the boy's soldiers and horses are in Henan and Wuchang. Now the 300000 troops who broke the king have left Tongguan, so it is impossible for Henan soldiers and horses to move south.

There are not even 10000 people in Xiangyang City. I think we can divide our troops in two ways. My adoptive father can lead 50000 troops to take a merchant ship upstream to Jingzhou, then go up and down Jingmen along the official road, and finally attack Xiangyang. I led 100000 troops to cross the river near Yuezhou with fishing boats, and then attack along the Han River. In this way, the boy can only retreat from Suizhou to Nanyang, Then the whole lake will fall into our hands. "

"Brother, what about me?" Enochiton is an emergency.

"Fourth brother, you command the remaining 30000 troops to stay in Yuezhou. Remember, we must guard against it. Once the thief retreats to Suizhou, Lu Xiangsheng may take the opportunity to sneak down to Yuezhou. We must guard against it!"

Sun expected to explain.

The eight kings frowned, stared at the map, looked at Lu Xiangsheng in Wuchang and Zuo Liangyu in Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, and realized that it was more appropriate to hold still or attack Zuo Liangyu than to cross the north of the river.

"Adoptive father, now there are 300000 troops who broke into the king in the north and restrained most of the troops and horses of the little beast. It can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss it, it will be very difficult to cross the river north in the future. Although you may not be able to kill the little beast this time, you can also grab the whole Huguang, force him into Henan, and clean up later. It is absolutely important to do twice the effort with half the effort."

Sun expected to see that he seemed to waver and quickly explained.

"Well, but boss, you take people to fight Jingzhou. Your adoptive father will meet the little beast by the Han River for a while."

Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a moment and finally nodded. He was not stupid. He knew that this was probably the only chance to win Huguang. Compared with Lu Xiangsheng, the boy's threat was definitely much greater.

"Yes, adoptive father." Sun expected to open his mouth, but he had to nod his head. However, he couldn't help but remind him: "the little beast is very cunning. Don't cross the Han River rashly..."

"Hum, do you still teach me? If that little beast honestly retreats to Suizhou, it's all right. If he doesn't want to engage in intrigues, I'll make him unable to return to Nanyang. "

Zhang Xianzhong could not help thinking that he was almost killed by Qin Huan in Baokang. He suddenly snorted and hit the table with a fist.

Although sun Wang was worried about his adoptive father and was afraid that he would cross the Han River in a hurry because of the boy's plot, he didn't dare to say more.

On the second day, sun expected to take 50000 troops and ride more than 200 merchant ships, surging up the current and directly attacking Jingzhou 200 miles upstream.

On the third day, the eighth king also took his army to cross the river more than ten miles downstream of Yuezhou.

For a time, Jingzhou Prefecture and counties were all frightened and faced with great enemies, one after another asking for help like Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the seven provinces.

In Wuchang City, after receiving the news that the Chu army crossed the river on a large scale, Lu Xiangsheng almost lost his chin and couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible? How did the eight kings cross the river to attack Jingzhou at this time? Aren't you afraid of conflict with the Qin army? "

Lu Xiangsheng stared at the map and forced his excitement down, because in his opinion, both of them were anti thieves. Even if the eight kings didn't join hands with Qin Huan to fight Wuchang, they should stay still in Yuezhou.

"Commander, Chu troops are divided into two ways. One way is upstream. It seems that they should go to fight Jingzhou. The troops are about 40000 or 50000. The other way is the river crossing Yuezhou. According to the report of the spies, there were countless boats on the river at that time. There were at least 100000 people from morning to next afternoon. How should we deal with it now?"

"At this time, the situation is complex and not easy to act rashly. We'd better wait and see how the Qin thieves on the other side react."

Lu Xiangsheng stared at the map with his back. The eight kings hit Jingzhou at this time, which is really unpredictable.

At the same time, Qin Huan on the other side also received the news that the Chu army crossed the river on a large scale. Although he had been prepared, King Qin was still very angry.

He didn't expect that the eighth king really dared to take a chestnut from the fire and take his back road. He immediately ordered the t-camp stationed in Xiangyang to go south to Jingmen and Chengtian mansion, but the army in Hankou didn't move.

As long as Jingmen and Chengtian mansion are guarded, the eight kings can only toss around in Jingzhou mansion and can't threaten him. After his warship is built, they first cross the river to clean up Lu Xiangsheng, and then block the Han River of the Yangtze River. The army is pressed over, and the Chu Army has no place to run.

Of course, if the eighth king and Lu Xiangsheng join hands and cross the river to fight him at this time, he will really have to retreat to Suizhou. However, he believes that the two will never join hands.

As long as he doesn't join hands, he will have the opportunity to break them one by one. Although his troops seem to be the least, he has more than 10000 fire gun soldiers in hand, which is enough to make him stand out from the rest of the world. Now the only thing he lacks is the warship.

……

Jingzhou, also known as Jiangling, is the purpose of returning thousands of miles of Jiangling in Li Bai's poems, which means that you can reach Jingzhou in one day by boat from near Chongqing and down the river.

Although some exaggeration, but after Jingzhou, upstream, the water potential of the Yangtze River is really urgent, so it took two days and one night for sun to arrive near Jingzhou with his army.

Although he knew that the Navy and warships of the army would never come to fight them at the moment, Lao sun was still worried these two days and nights.

As a Northwest man, Lao sun still doesn't adapt to taking a boat. Every time he wants to cross the Yangtze River, he has an inexplicable fear in his heart.

Instead of landing directly at Jingzhou wharf, the army chose to dock at several small wharfs downstream.

After all the troops disembarked, sun expected not to attack Jingzhou City as originally agreed, but to rush north along the official road with 50000 troops and go straight to Jingmen 200 miles away.

Lao sun's speed is not fast. He can kill in three days within two hundred miles.

However, the speed of the Chinese army was faster. Although Qin Huan's orders passed from Hankou to Xiangyang, even the fast horse took two days, the t-camp took a boat down the Han River and killed Jingmen in one day.

Therefore, when sun Wang's army landed near Jingzhou, the Chinese reinforcements arrived at Jingmen.

In the past two months, all the 6000 troops of the t-camp have been equipped with fire guns. Two thousand people have entered chengtianfu city on the east bank and four thousand people have entered Jingmen City on the West Bank, firmly closing the two gates to the north.
