    "Zhao will lead the troops on the expedition, and Jiangzhou will be entrusted to General Wu!" Outside Jiangzhou City, Zhangzha stood below the deck of the warship and spoke in a deep voice.

    Wu Yi nodded cautiously: "Jun Yi, don't worry. This time, my lord will use the strength of a country to march south. Don't be careless."

    "Farewell!" Zhang Jia handed over his hand again, turned around and walked towards the deck. Among all the troops on his side, he was the first to leave. And at the speed going straight down the river, it wouldn't take long for him to confront the Jingzhou garrison.

    Nearly a hundred warships were deployed in batches. Standing on the top of the main ship with his jaw open, he looked down at the river below. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He thought it might be difficult for him to wait until he was old, but he didn't expect it now.  When you are in your prime, you have an opportunity.

    Although the water flow is not fast in spring, the speed of the boat is not slow due to the smooth flow. It only takes two days to reach Linjiang.  Zhang Jia didn't need to attack the city at all. The gate of Linjiang City had already been opened to many Yizhou soldiers, because when the news of Zhang Jia's mobilization of troops reached Linjiang, the Linjiang County Magistrate decisively abandoned the city and fled.

    Yizhou soldiers and horses mainly fought on land, and warships were mostly used as transportation.  Arriving at Linjiang meant that entering Liu Pan's territory and going by boat would probably not be a good thing. Zhang Jia immediately ordered the soldiers to land ashore and stationed themselves in Linjiang City to rest, waiting for the troops from behind to arrive one after another.

    And as soon as he opened his jaw, Wei Yan, who was assigned by Zhuge to guard Kui Pass, had already received the news.  It has always been Wei Yan's wish to be able to lead an army alone to defend one side.  This opportunity was only possible because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jiangling the year before last.

    But the only thing that made Wei Yan a little dissatisfied was that the Kui Pass guard, including his own bodyguards, only numbered eight thousand.  With such a small force and relying on ordinary passes that are not very majestic, it is not easy to resist Yizhou's tens of thousands of elite troops.

    "In two days at most, Zhang Jia will come to knock at the pass. How should we guard against him then?" Wei Yan sat in the military tent inside the pass, his eyebrows deep in thought.

    Although he seems to be a brave general who is brave and foolhardy, in fact, he is just very confident in his courage, but it cannot be said that he is foolhardy.  As if he had thought of something, Wei Yan, who had been sitting for a long time, had an uncertain look on his face that was difficult to make a choice.

    ?? After struggling for a few breaths, Wei Yan finally made a choice and said to himself: "That's it. Holding tight can only hold your jaw open for ten days and a half. If you give it a try, you may not be able to succeed!"

    Under Kui Pass, Wei Yan had already made up his mind. In Nanyang, Jingzhou, Zhang Liao also said: "General Zhang, Wancheng will be free of you. If Liao and Zhang Xiu leave, they may not be able to return to Nanyang within half a year."

    Zhang Ji smiled when he heard this and joked: "Although Ji is not very talented, he is still capable of coordinating food, grass and baggage. Just don't worry about Wen Yuan." It has been several years since he switched to Zhen Yao's tent, and he is already young.  He is still young and has now become a rare veteran in Zhen Yao's tent. He strokes his white beard lightly and looks at Zhang Liao and his nephew Zhang Xiu with some envy.

    "Uncle, farewell!" Because of Zhen Yao's existence, Zhang Xiu did not become the lord as in history, so he had no chance to gain weight.  (Full text e-book download for free) After decades of continuous battles, he is still the spear king of the Northland. He has bright eyes and a deep voice. As he grows older, his vision and methods have become more beneficial.

    This is the case in Nanyang, and the situation is similar in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Zhen Yao's army has not yet moved, but their leading troops have already started moving.  Guan Yu and Gao Lan led their troops out of Pingyu and attacked Jiangxia County directly. Taishi Ci and Zang Ba from Xuzhou even combined their forces and 80,000 soldiers broke into Jiujiang in a mighty manner.

    In Jiangxia City, Zhou Yu, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, must be stationed here, and his most capable assistant is Jinfan Ganning.  Seeing Gan Ning playing with the bells on his body, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Xingba, Zhen Yao used nearly 300,000 troops to invade Jingyang. What do you think?"

    "What are you afraid of?" Hearing this, Gan Ning raised his head and replied coldly and proudly: "With our Jiangdong navy and the natural dangers of the rivers, Zhen Yao can even send a million troops south, but it will be useless. A mere 300,000 soldiers and horses.  , in someone¡¯s opinion, they are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!¡±

    "It is the lord's blessing that Xingba has such ambitions." Zhou Yu smiled and nodded when he heard this. The general is the courage of the soldiers. The enemy is facing a powerful enemy. If the enemy does not attack our side and causes chaos first, then it is better not to fight this battle.  Fortunately, Jiangxia was guarded by himself and Gan Ning. Even with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, it was enough to deal with the enemy.

    In Jiangxia City, Zhou Yu was ready to fully respond to the enemy, but in Jiujiang City, several veteran army generals were a little worried.  Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were sent by Sun Quan to garrison Huiyin. This place was difficult to defend, not to mention facing the Xuzhou army, which was said to be one hundred thousand. Huang Gai, who had been captured alive in Xuzhou, had not smiled at all in the past few days.  .

    "Husband, be careful all the way." Outside Wuji City, Zhen??Everything is ready at this moment, a hundred thousand troops and horses, the result of Wuji's Tibetan troops training over the years.  Outside the south gate, several lovely wives went out of the city to see off each other, not only their husbands, but also Zhen Ang.

    Although this was Zhen Ang's second expedition, Zhang Ying still couldn't help but nag him a lot. Even after nagging for several nights it was not enough. Before leaving, she still couldn't bear to let go of her son: "Ang'er, you must listen to daddy."  If so, don¡¯t be willful.¡±

    "Mom, don't worry, Ang'er." Zhen Ang's temperament is inherited from Zhen Yao and Zhang Ying. She has no habit of pampering. Her quiet little face solemnly agreed, which made people wonder, is this sixteen years old?  A young man who is still 36 years old.

    "All troops, set off!" Zhen Yao gave the order, and the Wuji soldiers who were originally marching slowly in line immediately quickened their pace.  One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were dispatched, and it was a dark place. If they lined up in a long line, it would be enough to stretch thousands of miles.

    Those who were left to garrison were generals Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, and Yan Zhi. Others, such as Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Yan Rou, were naturally taken by Zhen Yao. Even Meng Da, Ma Chao, and Zhen Yao asked them to accompany the army.  Go to war.

    As for scribes, according to the usual practice, Chen Lin, the general manager, was determined not to leave Wuji. However, during this expedition, Zhen Yao only brought Guo Jia and Jia Xu with him, and the others such as Xu You and Chen Deng were not brought with him.  , Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, Cheng Yu and other surrendered ministers had no chance to go out with the army.

    For a time, the fifteen states of the Han Dynasty were full of news that Zhen Yao had raised an army of 500,000 to attack Jing Yang.  And Zhen Yao's reasons for the crusade were also sufficient.  In Wuji, many of the secret guards of Sun and Liu who were caught confessed that Sun Quan and Liu Pan not only had the intention to rebel against Ma Teng, but also to destabilize the entire Han Dynasty.

    For a time, under the influence of public opinion controlled by Guo Jia, the Sun and Liu families became careerists who only pursued their own selfish desires and did not care about the lives of thousands of people.  Such princes were naturally wanted by everyone, and the direction of the war was easily controlled by Zhen Yao.

    In late spring, a night attack outside Kui Pass completely ignited the war.  Wei Yan led 5,000 elite troops, and when he was about to start knocking on the gate, he made a surprise attack on his newly established camp. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by Yan Yan's troops and was trapped in the camp. Only a hundred of the 5,000 men escaped.  , even Wei Yan himself was captured alive.

    The fighting at Kuiguan had just ended, and Xiangyang raised its weapons again and stationed its troops and horses on the bank of the Xiangjiang River. Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu were indeed unable to break through easily.  We can only look across the river, facing each other.

    After that, the war in Jiangxia and Jiujiang gradually started. Relying on the large number of soldiers, Taishi Ci and Zang Ba surrounded the city as soon as they arrived at Yinling. While waiting for the next military order to mobilize troops and horses, they also consumed the food and grass in the city.  .

    At the beginning of May, Zhen Yao finally arrived at Fancheng with 100,000 troops and met Zhang Liao, but he was about to start fighting across the river.  At the same time, Zhang Jaw, who was the first to launch his troops, had already jumped over Yiling and was approaching Jiangling City where Zhuge Kongming was stationed.

    When Zhen Yao mobilized his troops this time, he was not as passive as Cao Cao in history.  Now that Zhen Yao's worries and worries have been eliminated, Wuji has been recharging his strength for many years, and the army is dispatched with the momentum of a tiger and a wolf.  Liu Pan, who was in Xiangyang, had not had a good night's sleep for several days. He was afraid that if he fell asleep all night, Zhen Yao would have already entered the city when he woke up.

    Before the army crossed the river, Yan Rou took the lead and said: "My lord, why don't you let Rou lead a troop and horse, circle Jingshan Mountain to the west, and attack Xiangyang from behind? Such a frontal attack may not be effective as the city of Xiangyang is strong."

    Zhen Yao did not speak, but looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu who were aside. After thinking for a moment, they both nodded. The former also said: "This trip is deep behind enemy lines and there is almost no supplies. If it takes more than half a month and it still won't work, General  Return as soon as possible."

    Yan Rou immediately beamed with joy after hearing this. He didn't like peaceful sieges. Things like this that were dangerous and full of opportunities for victory were Yan Rou's favorite.  After receiving the military order, he immediately went to the camp to dispatch soldiers.

    Yan Rou¡¯s idea is good, but Liu Pan is not without capable people around him. Although Liu Ba acts low-key, his intelligence is by no means inferior to Wolong and Fengchu.  Now that Zhuge is guarding Jiangling, he naturally has to shoulder the important task of fighting against his enemy Zhen Yao.  And his first move was against Yan Rou, who was attacking from behind.

    Extermination and sneak attack are two great gifts from Liu Ba to Yan Rou.  Just as Yan Rou crossed Jingshan and was about to cross the mountain road to attack Xiangyang, she was ambushed by Jingzhou soldiers halfway.

    Although they escaped with more than 3,000 remaining soldiers, they found that the surrounding farms and villages were all empty, not to mention food, and not even a human being could be seen.

    Yan Rou's plan was ruined. Also in Jiangxia, the combination of Zhou Yu and Gan Ning was not inferior to Guan Yu and Gao Lan.  Relying firmly on his own advantage, Guan Yu, who held Qingzhou's strong soldiers, could only look at the city and sigh.

    After half a month of stalemate, the first ones to make a breakthrough were Taishi Ci and Zang Ba.  Although Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were veteran generals, it was precisely because of this that they lost the favor of young generals.It is difficult to hold on to the city for a long time. In the end, Yin Ling and the 20,000 Jiangdong army were lost.

    However, when Taishi Ci and Zang Ba entered Liyang, they were blocked again. Jiangdong's rookies, led by Ling Tong and Ding Feng, took over the responsibilities of the veterans and successfully stopped Xuzhou's momentum outside Jianye.  Soldiers and horses.

    The entire battle situation in Jingyang fell into a stalemate again, until a naval force suddenly invaded the hinterland of Jiangdong from the east coast of the Han Dynasty, and all the battle situation was disrupted.

    In the entire Jiangdong, there were no more than 100,000 troops, of which 30,000 were allocated to Jiangxia. Huang Gai Cheng Pu defeated 20,000, Ling Tong and others took away nearly 30,000, and there were still 8,000 to guard Changsha. Based on such a detailed calculation, Jianye  The city has become an empty shell.

    Xu Sheng led hundreds of warships and stormed in from the East China Sea. They crossed Shatou and reached Pingqu'a. Within three days, they arrived at the foot of Ye City.  Facing such a sudden naval force, not only Zhang Zhao and other veterans were stunned, but even Sun Quan was not expecting it.

    And Jianye, whose troops and horses are almost empty, has a strong army and strong horses. It has been waiting for a long time to be the opponent of the Penglai Navy who became famous in one battle.  You must know that the Jiangdong navy was basically taken to Jiangxia by Zhou Yu.

    On the summer solstice of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Jianye City was captured by Xu Sheng's navy. This change could be said to be the biggest surprise in the battle between the north and the south.  Zhen Yao used the navy just to contain the enemy, but after Zhou Yu, who was leading the troops outside, received the news, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell ill.

    One move affected the whole body, and it was defeated in Jianye. After Jiangdong and other scholars surrendered first, Jiangdong's power still existed in name only.  No matter how unwilling Zhou Yu and Ling Tong were outside, their lord Sun Quan had already surrendered, and they had lost the belief to fight again.

    When Jiangdong surrendered, Jingzhou Liu Pan saw that he could no longer hold on, so he surrendered. However, Jiangling Zhuge was so smart that he just relied on less than 10,000 troops to block Zhang Jaw outside the city, which could not change this fact.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Zhen Yao's whole country's power, nearly 400,000 troops, and countless resources, lasted for nearly half a year, and finally came to fruition.  In Xiangyang City, Zhen Yao met Liu Pan and agreed to the imperial edict of surrender. Half a month later, Sun Quan was also sent there. After submitting the letter of surrender, he followed Zhen Yao back to Wuji. At least he could become an 'An Le Gong'.  .

    Decades of chaos in the Han Dynasty were completely calmed down by Zhen Yao. This kind of credit is not enough for Zhongshan Gong alone.  The next year, in the spring of the 14th year of Jian'an, Zhen Yao officially became king.

    At this time, Zhen Yao's popularity and influence in the Han Dynasty had completely surpassed that of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty. Tens of millions of people in the world only heard about Zhen Yao and did not know about Liu Xie.

    Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty also became depressed and ill because of this. Until the 20th year of Jian'an, his long illness failed to cure and the emperor died!

    In the same year, because Liu Xie died without any heirs, the successor to the throne was revealed to be Zhen Yao.

    In the spring of the 21st year of Jian'an, Zhen Yao, together with his civil and military officials, climbed Mount Tai to worship heaven, officially replacing the "Han Dynasty" and establishing his own empire.
