The prefect of Linchuan was obviously a master who was changing his mind. Seeing that the Wu Kingdom was in a desperate situation, he decisively chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. In his opinion, what national interests, what are the benefits of eating the king, and what is loyal to the king, are all nonsense. Only the gains and losses of his own honors and disgraces are the most important. Is there any difference between being an official in Wu Kingdom and being an official in Wei Kingdom?

Obviously, the prefect of Yuzhang, the prefect of Luling and the prefect of Linchuan were wearing pairs of pants. Shortly after the prefect of Linchuan surrendered to Wei, the prefect of Yuzhang and the prefect of Luling also surrendered to Wei and gave the city.

Especially Luling County, which was originally adjacent to Jian'an County. Shanyue people rebelled in Jian'an County. The first person Sun Hao asked for help was the prefect of Luling. He knew that Luling's prefect ignored him, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and ignored him, as if he was completely ignorant of what happened in Jian'an County.

Of course, the prefect of Luling was very clear. Isn’t it a way to seek death with the poor thousand men of this county to go to Jian'an County to serve the king and rescue the emperor? The toughness of the people of Shanyue is known to everyone in the Wu Kingdom. Except for those who are talented as Zhuge Ke who can suppress it, the others do not have the ability at all. Of course, the prefect of Luling would not hit the stone with eggs.

What's more, the Wei army had already fought from the north, and the prefects of the counties surrendered one after another. It was time to find a way out for themselves. Sun Hao's court should go to fend for themselves.

In fact, Shi Bao did not have a plan to go south. His main target was Wuchang. Poyang County Yuzhang County was just a small stop in his journey. Luling County was so remote that Shi Bao could not take care of it. If the prefect of Luling did not surrender, he would probably be able to be free for a long time. However, the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, and Luling County would not be able to be alone in the end.

However, since the prefect of Luling handed over the surrender letter, Shi Bao still sent someone to accept Luling County, but the scale of the surrendered personnel would not be very large. Send a single person to go there and solve the problem.

Shi Bao's main energy was still focused on Chaisang Pass.

Although Chaisang Pass is within Yuzhang County, it is not under the jurisdiction of Yuzhang Prefect. Since Chaisang Pass is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north, Pengze in the east, and Lushan in the south, the terrain is very dangerous. In addition, Chaisang Pass originally tightly connects the throat passage from Jianye to Wuchang, it undoubtedly becomes an extremely important military fortress.

Zhou Yu, the great governor of the Eastern Wu, who was first stationed in Chaisang Pass, was stationed in this important place before Chibi, guarding the gateway of Jiangdong. Since then, the Wu Kingdom has always set up a position of governor in Chaisang, and his position is still above the prefect of Yuzhang. Xu Sheng, Lu Kang and others have served as governors in Chaisang before. Now the governor of Chaisang is Lu Shi, who is Lu Yin's son, Lu Kai's nephew, and General Yang of Lu Yin.

In the situation where the counties of Yuzhang, Linchuan surrendered one after another, Lu Shi was unmoved and still stood firm in Chaisang, becoming a roadblock for the Wei army to enter Wuchang westward.

Shi Bao wanted to attack Chaisang and remove this nail, but it was not easy. There were waterways on both sides of Chaisang northeast. Even if he walked around the south, it was Lushan, which was known for its strange and dangerousness. Such a terrain made Shi Bao, who was good at cavalry combat, obviously worrying.

Cao Liang also knew that the terrain of Chaisang could not be deployed at all, so he asked Shi Bao to station troops on the east side of Pengze Lake and temporarily remained silent, and asked Wang Jun to lead the navy to advance west from Ruxukou to attack Chaisang. As long as he could control the waterway, he could transport the tun cavalry and Jinqi camp to the bottom of Chaisang Pass. This battle would also be another joint combat between the Wei army in land and water.

During the Battle of Qiantang, this model of water and land combat was a great effect. The Wei navy took advantage of the rising tide of Qiantang Bay to break through the defense of the Wu naval division in one fell swoop, successfully cut off the retreat of the Qiantang defender and wiped out the defending enemy.

This battle is a model of joint water and land combat, and this experience is also worth promoting to the Wei army. After all, the Jiangnan region is densely populated with water networks and roads are difficult to move forward, which is a huge test for the Wei army, which has adapted to the plain terrain of the north.

Joint combat in the land and water will be a new way of combat, which can effectively solve many adverse conditions during the Wei army's marching and combat, turning disadvantages into advantages.

Although the Tunqi Camp is invincible, if you really encounter a muddy and wet water net in the south, even if they have great abilities, they will not be able to play it out. Especially the Tunqi Camp is a heavy armored cavalry. Once you fall into the mud, it will be a disaster. Not to mention mobility, walking will be a difficult thing.

That's why Cao Liang ordered Shi Bao to temporarily stand up and let Wang Jun's naval army take the lead. Although Chaisang had naval army, the number was not too large. With Wang Jun's naval army overwhelmingly strong, it was not difficult to defeat the Chaisang naval army.

Although Wang Jun's naval army participated in the Battle of Crossing the River and had won a great victory in the Battle of Qiantang, the two wars were basically unrepresented. What really showed off was the muscles of the Wei army throwing stones. Wang Jun's naval fleet just silently acted as a transport team and transported a large number of Wei troops from the north shore to the south shore.

The Battle of Qiantang was just a small battle, and the Wei army fleet won a great victory with the help of the power of the tide.

So when it comes to the true strength of the Wei army's naval army, Wang Jun actually didn't have much real foundation. After all, such a naval army was still a big zero a year and a half ago, and everything was gone. Whether it was experience or actual combat, the Wei army was still in a naive period. Although Wang Jun was full of expectations for the battle with the Wu army, he was somewhat nervous when he was going to fight.

However, this will eventually be a hurdle that cannot be escaped. It is a mule or a horse. It must be pulled out. If the Wei Navy wants to truly gallop across the river, it must be trained from actual combat.

What's more, most of the main force of the Wu naval army was destroyed in the Battle of Crossing the River, and Wang Jun also lacked a strong enemy. If the main force of the Wu naval army still exists, then Cao Liang would not have the courage to arrange Wang Jun's naval army to take the lead.

So Cao Liang made such a decision after careful consideration in attacking Chaisang, but Cao Liang believed that with the strength of Wang Jun's water army, there should be no major problem in taking Chaisang.

The only problem is probably the attitude of Lu Kang in Wuchang. If Lu Kang does not move his troops and does not reinforce Chaisang, it would be easy for the Wei army to take Chaisang with thousands of troops in Lu's hands now.

But once Lu Kang intervenes, Chaisang's battle situation will become confusing, and no one can predict the result of the battle.
