Du Yu's situation in Yunmengze was very embarrassing. One-third of the army was cavalry and two-thirds were infantry. Such a powerful combination of combat power was placed on the plains in the north, which was a scattered and invincible existence.

However, after falling into the quagmire of Yunmengze, he was staggering and difficult to move forward. It seemed that he underestimated the difficulty of Yunmengze.

After the defeat in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao fled to Nanjun from Huarong Road in Yunmengze. Faced with the encirclement and interception of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, Cao Cao drove the old and weak soldiers to build roads. The cavalry of the Cao army directly trampled past these old and weak soldiers. Huarong Road is still full of bones, and corpses are dug out everywhere in the mud pit, which shows how tragic it was back then.

When Cao Cao fled, he only cared about his own lives, and he could still care about the lives of the old, weak and disabled soldiers. If he did not use these old, weak and disabled soldiers to fill the pit, they would never be able to leave Huarong Road. So filling them with the remaining heat is just to make use of some of the remaining heat. Cao Cao killed people all his life and regarded human lives as a mustard, so naturally he would not care about the life and death of these people.

But Cao Liang is different. No matter what the situation is, Cao Liang will not allow such cruel and unkind behavior to happen. Only when he truly loves soldiers like his sons can these soldiers die and willingly contribute to the country.

Du Yu's marching should be slower. Anyway, the main force of the Lu Kang was blocked by Wang Jun's naval army and could not cross the river. He had been stranded on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Du Yu's opponent was only 7,000 Bu Xie's troops. Even if Du Yu could not catch up with Bu Xie, Bu Xie did not dare to provoke Du Yu easily. Both sides were basically in peace.

Du Yu suggested that since the Bu Xie's troops could not be chased, it would be better to give up. The Right Legion rushed to Jiangling as early as possible. As long as Jiangling was taken down, the seven thousand Bu Xie's troops would be water without source and tree without roots. Even if they were tossing in Yunmengze in many ways, they would not cause any storm.

Although Yunmengze has a vast territory, it has a sparse population and can be called a barren land in the hinterland of Jingzhou. Although Bu Xie can deal with it, the supply of food and supplies must become a huge problem. Therefore, if Bu Xie's army wants to survive in Yunmengze, it must obtain supplies from Jiangling, otherwise it will be in a difficult situation.

If the Wei army could take Jiangling, it would be like taking out the firewood from the bottom of the jar and suddenly cut off Bu Xie's retreat. If Bu Xie was still stuck in Yunmengze, then he would have perished himself.

However, I believe that Buhui would not be able to sit idly by and watch Jiangling fall, so the biggest possibility is that Buhuihui rushed to Jiangling in advance to assist Jiangling defenders to defend the city. This move is exactly what Du Yu wants to gather and annihilate it, so there is no need to search in Yunmengze for effort.

Cao Liang quickly agreed to Du Yu's combat plan, and Du Yu led his troops to attack Jiangling.

Of course, according to Du Yu's marching speed, it would take some time to reach Jiangling. However, since Wang Jun's naval army had blocked the Yangtze River waterway, Cao Liang did not have to worry that Lu Kang would arrive in Jiangling before Du Yu's right army arrived.

After the Battle of Baqiu, Wang Jun's navy marched straight in and went upstream along the Yangtze River. Whether it was Jiangling or Xiling's water barriers, the Wei navy destroyed them, and no ship was left behind for the Wu people. The Wei navy was invincible all the way, sweeping across the entire waterway from Baqiu to Wu Gorge, and clearing the last little remnant of the Wu army.

The Wu army had no power to compete with it. They could still drag smaller ships ashore, but any larger ship could only watch the Wei army destroy them.

Seeing the Wei Navy's appearance on the Yangtze River waterway made many Wu people sigh. I remember that the Wu navy was the master of the Yangtze River waterway, and no one could match it. It was with its powerful naval army that the Wu navy had the capital to confront the Wei army and stood firm for decades.

But who would have thought that in the past thirty years, the once glorious Wu naval army could eventually fall to ashes? The people of Wu were shocked and desperate, and they couldn't help but sigh and lament that Wu was about to perish.

Almost all the people of Wu knew that the survival of Wu had a great relationship with the natural danger of the Yangtze River. The army in the north was not good at water warfare. The long and wide Yangtze River had become a natural barrier for Wu. Although the Wei people were coveting the land in the south of the Yangtze River in time, there was a powerful Wu naval army, and the Wei people could only sigh and do nothing.

But who would have thought that Cao Liang had built an invincible fleet in just one year, and ran on the Yangtze River. Several large naval fleets of the Wu army were wiped out by the Wei army one after another. During the Battle of Crossing the River, the Jianye Navy was attacked by the giant catapult carriage of the Wei army and almost destroyed the entire army. During the Battle of Pengze Lake, the Wuchang Navy also suffered a catastrophe. The naval fleet, including the main general Bu Chan, had the entire army. The failure of the two fleets indicates that an era belonging to the Wu navy has come to an end.

This has to be said to be a very sad thing. It is even more regrettable and heartbreaking than the fall of Jianye and the collapse of Lord Wu.

If Jianye is lost, he can be taken back. Master Sun Xiu of Wu dies and he can change his emperor again. But if the navy fleet is destroyed, all the hopes of Wu will be destroyed.

This shows the position of the navy in the minds of the Wu people.

In the past, when the Wu navy was in its prime, they were allowed to travel between the north and south, crossing as much as they wanted, crossing as they wanted, and even passing by without the need for a ferry terminal. In the eyes of the Wu people, the Yangtze River was their largest channel. Whether it was crossing north and south or connecting east and west, they were inseparable from the Yangtze River.

But now the entire Yangtze River waterway is under the control of the Wei army. If the Wu people want to cross north and south, they have to ask whether the Wei army's naval patrol fleet will agree.

Once upon a time, the Wu people were so down and out. The main force of the Wu army who resisted the Lu Army was intercepted on the south bank of the Yangtze River and had no chance to reach Jiangling. The Wu army's army in Jingzhou was cut off by this big river, separated from the north and the south, and they were no longer able to meet again.

Perhaps Lu Kang understood that this might be the intention of the Wei people, blocking the Wu army on both sides of the Yangtze River, making it difficult for the Wu army to take care of the front and tail, so that they could defeat them one by one.

But even though he understood, Lu Kang seemed to have no way to solve it. After all, he was still bitten by the Wei cavalry all the way. He was exhausted. How could he have spare time to consider the Wu army's way out?

However, when the Wu army was about to end, they saw the darkness of willows and flowers.
