Chapter two hundred and eighty nine yellow mouth children(1/2)
Huang Zhong, who stayed in Changsha, was preparing for Guan Yu.
Unconsciously, Xing Daorong remembered Huang Zhong's surprise and gritted teeth when he issued a mission to Huang Zhong.
When he formed an alliance with Liu Bei, Guan Laoer whispered an "old man" and made Huang Zhong feel resentful and wanted to cut off his body with one knife.
"hehe!"
Xing Daorong laughed.
"Master!"
However, Pang Tong showed a hint of worry and looked at Xing Daorong and asked:
"After all, our navy is powerless. If Cheng Pu uses the Jiangdong Waterway to entangle our army, it will be a big problem. The Nanzhong Fuji armored soldiers mentioned by the lord really can they float across the river without using ships?"
"Don't worry, Shi Yuan!"
Xing Daorong smiled and explained to Pang Tong:
"When I was in Nanzhong, I specifically learned that the vine armored soldiers were unique to the Ugo Kingdom and were refined from the local strange vine armor!"
"The vines grow in a mountain stream and are plated on a stone wall. The Chinese people take it and soak it in oil. It takes half a year to take it out and dry it. It is dried and soaked again, and it takes more than ten times, but it only makes the armor!"
"This armor is extremely magical!"
Looking at Pang Tong, Xing Daorong smiled and said:
"Working with this vine armor, you will not sink across the river, and you will not wet through the water. You will not be able to enter the sword and arrow. You will not be able to defend against the fine iron armor, but it is as light as if nothing is there!"
"Don't take a boat to cross the river with a vine armored soldiers. Even if it is a big Yangtze River, you can wade directly by the water. With such elite soldiers, it is better than the navy army that has been trained in Jiangdong for many years!"
"I didn't expect there would be such a strange thing!"
After listening to Xing Daorong's story, Pang Tong stroked his short beard under his jaw and exclaimed.
"When I returned, I ordered the king of Ugo to lead 30,000 elite soldiers of vine armor to come. I expected to arrive in as many as three months!"
Xing Daorong smiled and said:
"At that time, no matter how dense the waterway in Jiangdong is, it will not be able to stop our army's sharpness. Zhou Yu wants to rely on the waterway to block our army, which is a foolish dream, hahahaha!"
At the end of the day, he couldn't help laughing.
At the beginning, the reason why he ordered Wu Tuifeng to come to report was mainly because the vine armored soldiers were elite troops and could be cultivated to become elite troops second only to the "Tiangang Axe Guard".
But when he decided on the strategy of the Jingnan military and discussed how to deal with the Jiangdong Navy, Xing Daorong remembered a description in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Wei Yan returned and rushed to the Taohua Ferry. He saw the barbarians carrying armor to cross the water. If someone was tired inside, he took off his armor, placed it on the water, and sat on it to cross the water.'
So, Xing Daorong immediately took advantage of this feature of the vine armored soldiers.
"With these 30,000 vine armored soldiers, the land in Jiangdong will definitely be in our hands!"
Pang Tong nodded with satisfaction and said.
"hey-hey!"
Xing Daorong also laughed complacently.
During this war, when he was in Changsha, he and Pang Tong and Jiang Wan discussed and decided on the final strategy many times.
First, take down Jiangxia, then delay time and get the horses and cattle and sheep as soon as possible. If you can drag it until the cavalry team is trained, it is naturally the best.
When your plans can no longer be concealed, it is naturally the time to go to war with Jiangdong and Nanjun.
According to the troops and personnel of Guan Yu's headquarters in Nanjun, Xing Daorong stayed Huang Zhong and Jiang Wan.
Huang Zhong's versus Guan Yu, Jiang Wan's versus Ma Liang, Liu Pan and Chen's versus Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, whether it is a force, military advisor, or general, it is enough to resist Guan Yu's troops.
In this way, the threat from Nanjun no longer exists.
Then there are Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
Xing Daorong personally led 110,000 troops to Jiangxia, naturally to deal with the 150,000 army.
Although there are few people, Cheng Pu will definitely not be an opponent with the elite of Jingnan Army, Xing Daorong, Shamoke's bravery, and Pang Tong, the top military advisor.
However, as Xing Daorong and Pang Tong expected, Cheng Pu would not face the battle head-on with him, and would most likely defend himself from Poyang Lake and deal with the Jingnan Army.
Because there was no strong naval army, Xing Daorong had no choice but to defend Cheng Pu's army, and he even dared not leave Jiangxia.
Because, if he leaves Jiangxia, for example, to attack Danyang County and Wu County, the core area of Jiangdong, Cheng Pu can naturally take the opportunity to enter, occupy Xiakou, or even point directly to Changsha, and cooperate with Guan Yu to annihilate Huang Zhong's troops.
By then, even if Danyang County and Wu County are taken down, their own Changsha will be lost, and even the road back to Jingnan will be cut off, which will be completely unworthy of the loss!
Therefore, Xing Daorong's 110,000 people will basically not be able to leave when he comes to Jiangxia, unless he annihilates Cheng Pu's army.
At this time, Wei Yan's 50,000 people were very important.
Pang Tong's suggestion was to let Xing Daorong restrain Cheng Pu's main force, Wei Yan bypassed the Gan River, crossed the Xinhe River, Xinhe River, Linchuan County, Poyang County, Xindu County, and attack Danyang County and Wu County.
If you succeed, you can naturally put all the parts south of the Yangtze River into your palm, and cut off Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's logistics supplies at the same time.
By then, Cheng Pu, who was defending Poyang County, would become an isolated army and would sooner or later be captured by the Jingnan Army.
However, in this way, we have to face a difficult problem, that is, the Wei Yan tribe must fight in the Jiangdong hinterland with numerous waterways, and it is impossible for the navy to do it without a navy.
Poyang Lake covers an area of only about a hundred miles, but it extends out many tributaries, countless.
The largest tributaries are Ganjiang, Xiuhe, Pojiang, Xinjiang and Fuhe. The branches of each tributary are densely distributed one by one, one by one, on Wei Yan's march route.
Faced with so many waterways, the difficulty of Wei Yan's troops trying to attack Danyang County and Wu County through nearly a thousand miles of road is imagined.
Moreover, once Cheng Pu's army retreated to Poyang Lake, there would be no 150,000 troops. Tens of thousands were distributed outwards, so Xing Daorong could still be restrained in Jiangxia and unable to move.
There are many waterways and there are still tens of thousands of Jiangdong naval troops. Although Wei Yan is brave, it is difficult to complete the task.
However, if Wei Yan's army had 30,000 more vine armored elite soldiers who could carry armor to cross the water, the result would be completely different!
"Lord, since the vine armored soldiers are made of oil repeatedly soaked, they may be afraid of fire!"
Pang Tong was careful and soon discovered the hidden dangers of the vine armored soldiers.
"That's true, Shi Yuan is right!"
Xing Daorong nodded and said:
"However, Wen Chang faced a waterway during this trip, without deep mountains and valleys. It would be useless for the enemy to launch a fire attack!"
The vine armored soldiers were afraid of fire, so Xing Daorong naturally knew that as early as when he inspected Luling's military horses, he repeatedly explained to Wei Yan, hoping that he would not make such a mistake.
"Let's wait until Cao Ren sends the war horses!"
Xing Daorong said:
"After getting the war horse, with the skills of our elite soldiers of the "Raish" army, I expected that in one or two months, I would be able to have a cavalry, and then I would hand it over to Han Sheng to destroy the majesty of Guan Laoer!"
"hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Pang Tong smiled with a beard.
"By the way!"
Xing Daorong suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Cheng Pu is a three-generation veteran of the Sun family. It is said that he is quite arrogant. Will he think he is not inferior to me and fight me head-on?"
...
Chaisang.
Jiangdong Central Army Commander's Office.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others gathered together to discuss military affairs.
"It's almost a month old, and Jiang Xia is still tightly blocking it. It's hard to find out the news in detail. What exactly is Xing Daorong doing?"
In the main position, Cheng Pu frowned.
The rest of Huang Gai, Lu Meng and others also frowned and thought hard.
But there is no reliable information for reference, and everyone gains nothing.
"Forget it!"
After a long time, Cheng Pu looked up and said:
"No matter what Xing Daorong plans, I want to move the army to Poyang County. What do you think?"
"No!"
As soon as this said, Lu Xun, who was sitting next to him, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly bowed and said:
"Elder General, if Xing Daorong does not want to go north and instead attacks our Jiangdong, our army will stay away from the Poyang Lake waterway, and he will be able to ride it!"
"What Bo Yan said is reasonable!"
Lu Meng also bowed and said:
"The veteran general, the elite of Jingnan Army, Xing Daorong is brave. Even though our army is numerous, we are afraid that it will be defeated. We should respect the words of the governor of Zhou, use Poyang Lake as a base, and use the navy to compete with the Jingnan Army as the best!"
"I don't know what you said!"
Faced with the opposition between the two, Cheng Pu said:
To be continued...
