Chapter 1160

Kuai Yue's proposal was approved by the rest of the people. After all, Guan Zhang's toughness is world-famous. If they send troops to fight against them, it is estimated that few people in Jingzhou can beat them. On the north side, Zhang Jijun of Nanyang had fought several times a few years ago. The strength of the Xiliang army was unmatched by the Jingzhou army. On the East and west sides, it was more difficult to enter Yizhou in the West than Zhang Ji and Liu Bei. However, the reason for going south and North was that the opposing army was too strong, while the reason for going east and West was that the geography was too difficult The sword spirit of Wuling county has become a soft persimmon.

However, Cai Mao's proposal to persuade Liu Bei's army in Changsha to attack Wuling from the East was rejected by Liu Biao and Kuai Liang. If Liu Bei was allowed to send troops, he said that he had to give them part of the benefits. Moreover, we didn't think that it was difficult to pacify the Jianling army in Wuling.

Now Jianling, who lives in zhilinyuan city of Wuling County, doesn't know that he has become a weak chicken among all the people in Xiangyang. However, even if he knows, he is not afraid.

Today's sword spirit is no longer the embarrassment of the original three melons and two dates. Since Wei Yan joined, the elite level of the sword spirit's soldiers and horses is no longer comparable to that at the beginning. You know, at the beginning, he just relied on three transferred generals to beat the combined troops of several players to pieces, and the troops trained by Wei Yan's subordinates were better than at the beginning.

As early as the beginning of Wuling, the military adviser Hua Xin had already reminded him to pay attention to any changes in Xiangyang, so he also put out a lot of money for his confidants to set up a spy team, which focused on Xiangyang, Jiangxia and Changsha. In addition, he was more willing to use the power of players than Huangfu Chaobo, so he was also placed in Xiangyang City A lot of nails. When the army went out, there were also thousands of troops stationed in Yidao city and Nantian city.

After the army conquered Wuling, he ordered Wei Yan to dispatch 10000 elite soldiers from Jiangshu, reorganized them into two schools, secretly sent them back to Yidao city and Nantian city to Gaoyue and houzheng, who were responsible for defending the two cities. In this way, there were nearly 16000 soldiers and horses in the two cities on the South Bank of the river. Once the Jingzhou army attacked, the two cities would be destroyed It's no problem to stay for a month or two. At that time, the elite army under the command of Wei Yan will have enough time to return to the rescue.

Just a few days after Xiangyang made the decision to send troops to Wuling, Jianling knew Liu Biao's plan through several ways, but he didn't care much about it. You know, in today's Jingzhou army, there are no generals who can compete with Wei Yan. If the only one that worries him is Liu Bei's army in Changsha. Guan Zhang and his two men are too strong.

Fortunately, information from several aspects shows that Liu Bei's army in Changsha has no sign of sending troops, which makes Jianling feel at ease.

In the middle of September, after getting the news that the Xiangyang army of 50000 soldiers and 10000 water army had set out, Jianling ordered Han Hao and Qi Shen to lead 20000 troops to defend Linyuan, Yuannan and Hanshou. Jianling and Wei Yan led 30000 troops to return to Yidao quietly, preparing to attack them inside and outside while Jingzhou army besieged Yiling city Annihilation in the Yi Dao City, he would once to hit Liu Biao hurt, let him dare not have the idea of their own ideas.

When the war between Yi and Dao in Jingzhou was on the verge of breaking out, Ma Teng was also gathering people to discuss affairs in zhiguzang City, Wuwei County, in the northwest of the Han Dynasty. Liu Biao was able to get the inside story of the King through Chang'an's inner line, and other vassals had their own ways. Ma Teng was just like this, so after getting the land of five counties was one of the most basic conditions for the king, Marten began to think about it.

After thinking about it, Ma Teng focused on the counties since Zhangye. According to the division made by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there are three counties, Jiuquan, Xihai and Dunhuang, to the west of Zhangye. If you add Wuwei and Zhangye under Ma Teng's control now, they are just five counties. In this way, they just meet the requirements.

Compared with Han Sui, the righteous brother in the south, and the Qin army in the west, the three Western prefectures are much better to deal with.

At this time, Han Sui, who occupied Jincheng and Longxi, also looked to his southeast Wudu County. On the surface, Wudu County was owned by Dong Huang. However, Han people's control of Wudu was not comprehensive all the time, just declaring sovereignty. In fact, the control of Wudu was still in the hands of local Di people, and each city was basically controlled by each di It's controlled by the king of the people's Congress. Especially after Dong Huang became king, he focused on the two more prosperous counties, Zuo Fengyi and you Fufeng. In fact, Wudu was no longer in charge.

At this time, Han then turned his eyes to Wudu, but he meant it. After thinking about it, he immediately sent someone to Ma Teng's place to discuss with Ma Teng about how to deal with Dong Huang. Ma Teng of course readily agreed. However, Ma Teng meant that he had to wait until he calmed down the counties in Jiuquan before he came back to deal with Dong Huang.

After getting Ma Teng's consent, Han then began to prepare to send troops to Wudu.

At the beginning of October, the battle of Yidao in Jingzhou began. Fifty thousand Jingzhou troops boarded from Jiangling and went up against the water. They landed on the South Bank of the river to the south of Yidao and arrived at the foot of Yidao city. Then they began to attack Yidao county and surrounded Yidu County, which was defended by ten thousand troops.After several days of strong attack, Yidao county was still, but it was attacked by 30000 Jianling troops who had been lurking 20 miles south of Yidao county. They were killed in the first World War of 50000, with heavy casualties and more than 10000 casualties. Only general Cai Mao led less than 10000 soldiers to flee in a hurry, and the 10000 water army, because of the sneak attack, took Cai Mao's remnant soldiers and left the big army behind The ship fled in confusion.

When we returned to Jiangling, we found that only five building ships were lost, 20 or 30 middle-sized ships such as Dou boat and Chi Ma boat were lost, more than 100 small boats were lost, and 30 or 40 big boats were used to transport grain and grass for soldiers and horses. In addition, countless grain and grass equipment were all lost outside Yidao city on the South Bank of Changjiang River.

This battle can be said to have made Liu lose his face completely. He wanted to bite a soft persimmon, but he bit a stone. Jianling, on the other hand, made a lot of money. He had already harvested a large amount of food and materials in Linyuan. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao turned his back and sent him tens of thousands of Dingkou and materials.

Almost at the same time, the two armies of Ma Teng and Han Sui also started to attack Jiuquan and Wudu respectively.
