"Report to the lord, the large and small ships of the Sun family in Jiangdong are gathering near the mouth of the lake" "Inform the lord, the large and small ships of the Sun family in Jiangdong are gathering near Hulin" "" "Staff Headquarters" Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You were judging the purpose of the Sun family's navy gathering in the east of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. But when they still hadn't come to a conclusion, Onsu Kanbei continued to report four reports. Five Sun family trends are being deployed. Yang Rui also noticed that the first people gathering in Xiadui were the Jiangdong Sun family navy, while those gathering later were ships of all sizes, obviously not for war. Several people in the "Staff Headquarters" have also speculated that the target of the Sun family's naval forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River may have been the Sanjiangkou area upstream. If they regain control of the Sanjiangkou, it is possible to go deeper in the future. At the same time, the Sun family gathered large and small ships in Hukou and Hulin, which was probably for the land infantry to cross the river. The purpose of crossing the river was not difficult to judge - it was probably to snatch the fat piece of Yuzhou. The most basic judgment can be drawn. Although it may not be completely consistent with the Jiangdong Sun family's premeditation, it should not be far from the real situation. Regarding this unexpected situation, Yang Rui and several people in the "Staff Headquarters" were not in a hurry. From the beginning, they believed that the Jiangdong Sun family would not stay quietly, and made full preparations and plans. It can only be said that the Sun family's actions met expectations. From the beginning, Yang Rui did not think that the land of Yuzhou would be taken over without spending a single soldier. The participation of the Jiangdong Sun family was not a bad thing in Yang Rui's opinion. You can think of the Sun family in Jiangdong as being like clams in the city. They are not afraid of him getting in the way, but they are afraid that they will act like a coward, leaving Yang Rui no place to start. "As for the Jiangdong Sun family's participation in Jingzhou affairs, Yang Rui welcomed it with both hands. According to the current development of the Jingzhou strategy, even if Liu Qi is on the sidelines as much as possible during the process, it should not be a problem for Liu Qi to take Xiangyang City with the help of his own side, and the destruction of Xiangyang City is also the result Yang Rui wants. When the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, Liu Qi might have been depleted of a lot of strength, but Yang Rui couldn't turn against him directly. This is unjustifiable in terms of public opinion. Therefore, the participation of the Sun family in Jiangdong became popular. As the old enemy of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, the Sun family could not help but save Yang Rui a lot of effort, for fear that he would not come. "The Taishi Cishui Navy is ordered to march into Dongting Lake tonight, occupy the Dongting Mountain in the lake, guard the mouth of the lake, and wait for orders. The Ganning Navy is ordered not to disrupt the Xuzhou Navy's normal water patrol. If the Jiangdong Navy does not take the initiative, Don¡¯t block Jiangdong¡¯s troops from crossing the river. Send an order to the ethereal secret ninja soldiers on the banks of the Yangtze River to pay full attention to Jiangdong¡¯s strength movements everywhere, and record the opponent¡¯s generals and troop dispatches in detail. Any latest news needs to be reported as soon as possible" When the plan was established, Yang Rui and a cadre general had already discussed the general countermeasures. When the actual situation happened, Yang Rui had already prepared it in his mind and issued several orders in an orderly manner. ¡°At the moment, Jiangdong¡¯s Sun family¡¯s forces only need to monitor with all their strength, and understand information such as the number of soldiers and horses on each side, so that they can respond when friction occurs in the future. Yang Rui has a hunch that during this Jingzhou strategy, there is a high probability that there will be friction or even quarrel with the Sun family of Jiangdong. Maybe Yang Rui can take advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to teach the Sun family of Jiangdong a lesson, and at the same time set the stage for the future of Jiangdong. The strategy planted the seeds. If it had been placed a few days ago, Yang Rui's arrangement would definitely have caused Liu Qi's dissatisfaction, because the main naval force agreed upon by Taishi Ci was hidden by Yang Rui, and only some small and medium-sized ships were dispatched to the Xiangshui River for a few laps. But it¡¯s not a big problem now. Not to mention that the main force of Taishi Cishui Army is scattered and hidden. Even if it is exposed, Liu Qi probably won¡¯t have any major objections. On the one hand, Liu Qi was facing the Battle of Yicheng Gate, and would even approach Xiangyang City soon, so he did not have much energy to pay attention to the situation of Yang Rui's navy behind him. On the other hand, the fact that Yang Rui's forces are entangled with the Jiangdong Sun family's forces also plays into Liu Qi's plan. From the very beginning, he imagined the best situation for the East China Sea King to entangle with the Jiangdong Sun family. Now that this situation may take shape, Liu Qi naturally Just pretend not to know and ignore it. It is said that Liu Qi's troops approached Yicheng, the gateway to Xiangyang City. At this time, he still had about 200,000 troops, and 20,000 people were stationed in the previously captured Jiangling City to ensure logistical supplies; There are no opponents above Xiangshui, except for the tightly guarded water area near Xiangyang City. It can be said that at the moment when Liu Qi's tribe has reached the peak of its momentum, the external environment has also reached its best moment. As long as the Yicheng portal is captured in one fell swoop, it will be enough.He went straight to Huanglong and captured Xiangyang City together with the Donghai King's troops. On the contrary, the defenders of Yicheng were really worried. It was rumored that the troops of the Donghai King were approaching Xiangyang City. There had been civil strife in Xiangyang City and the defenders were unable to control the situation. How could Yicheng be defended? What¡¯s the meaning? This is of course the role played by Yang Rui¡¯s Kongling Secret Ninja tribe. Before Liu Qi¡¯s army arrived, the Kongling Secret Ninja tribe¡¯s soldiers had already exaggerated the news and spread it in Yicheng City. However, the Yicheng garrison was very calm at this time, as if he did not feel the pressure brought by Liu Qi's army at all, and did not pay attention to the negative news in the direction of Xiangyang City. This person is none other than Liu Biao's general Wei Yan. In fact, his thoughts at this moment are not on how to defend Yicheng, but on how to find a way out for himself, and Wei Yan has already figured out an idea that he very much agrees with. As one of the few generals in Liu Biao's hands, Wei Yan participated in more than one invasion of Yuzhou, but each time he retreated under the coercion of the Donghai King's followers, and even suffered a lot of losses. Therefore, forget about the military exploits of the participating Jingzhou generals, and Liu Biao would lose his temper. This gave Wei Yan some new ideas. At this juncture, Wei Yan's ideas were also exposed. When Liu Qi¡¯s army arrived at Yicheng City, it was already close to evening. It was too late to attack the city in a hurry, so they could only set up camp and wait for the attack the next day. In just one night, his camp was attacked by the Yicheng defenders. Fortunately, Liu Qi was on guard against this. Although he suffered some losses, he quickly organized a counterattack to carry out the attack. The soldiers were repulsed. And when Liu Qi was busy all night and began to tentatively attack the city on the second day, he found that there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled troops left in Yicheng. Liu Qi's troops entered the city with just one wave of attacks. Please remember the first domain name of this book:. The website for reading the mobile version of Nine Heavens God Emperor:
