Chapter 865 Gathering

The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

Everyone knows that the general trend of the world is irreversible, but no one knows when the general trend will come.

Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe ten years...

To the west, Xiling City remains standing.

To the south, Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, Tao Huang, and Tao Jun fought several battles, winning or losing each other, but they could not open up the situation.

To the east, Du Yu stationed troops at Dongguan, but did not send out troops, absorbing the troops from Jiangdong.

Facing the huge pressure from Qin, Wu State was still resisting with difficulty.

It seems that the situation is gradually stabilizing.

If there is no military victory, Jiangdong will always be strong.

"With just one big victory, Jiangdong will collapse!" Yang Hu looked at the long Yangtze River Road.

"Xiling and Jiangling are both strong cities and difficult to capture in a short time!" Luo Xian sighed.

Yang Hu is a very charismatic person, but so is Lu Kang.

The two men were evenly matched, and almost all of the Wu army surrendered, while those who remained swore to follow Lu Kang to the death.

"The pillar of Jiangdong is none other than Lu Kang. I have a plan to defeat Jingzhou!" Luo Shang cupped his hands and said.

"Oh? What's your plan, young general?" Yang Hu didn't like Luo Shang, but he still gave him some face.

"You can make an army feign defeat, pretend to surrender to Lu Kang, and then wait for an opportunity to assassinate him! Once Lu Kang dies, Jingzhou will be leaderless, and the army will naturally be defeated like a mountain!" Luo Shang said with a gloomy face.

Yang Hu frowned and said, "Young General, what are you saying? What kind of person is Lu Kang? How could he not know how to fake a surrender? Moreover, even if Lu Kang can be assassinated, it will definitely arouse the Jingzhou army's desire for revenge and share the same hatred of the enemy. , but it helped the morale of the Wu army."

Luo Xian said: "The Qin Dynasty is bright and aboveboard, how can it be possible for such a villain to behave like this? Even if it wins, it will be despised by others!"

"My humble opinion." Luo Shang did not force it.

While several people were talking, the bodyguard came to report, "Two governors and Yizhou Governor Wang Jun led 800 warships and 30,000 troops down the river and have left Baidi City!"

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

It is naturally a good thing to have reinforcements, but they are still water troops.

"So, you can go down to Xiling!" Luo Xian said happily.

Both expeditions were blocked by Xiling, and Luo Xian was full of hatred for this fortress.

"His Majesty relies heavily on the Governor Wang, so we should not wait any longer." Yang Hu reminded.

Luo Xian nodded, "Send the order to welcome the Yizhou navy!"

On the river, white sails bloomed, like white clouds sailing out from between the green mountains.

Many of the ships are not warships, but converted civilian ships.

However, the flags on the ship were flying, and the soldiers standing on the bow were full of energy, holding swords, spears, bows and crossbows, and stood solemnly on the deck.

Wang Jun was very skillful in managing the army and the people. When he guarded Tongguan and faced off against Meng Guan, the Qin army did not find any flaws.

"Wang Jun is from the north, and he never thought he would be able to manage the navy." Luo Xian was amazed.

Yang Hu also admired him greatly, "No wonder His Majesty favors him so much."

In the past, Yang Zheng's judgment on his role as a general and as a prime minister attracted the attention of the world, which also indirectly raised his popularity in Da Qin.

When the big ship entered the harbor, a group of mighty soldiers disembarked first, carrying flags and ceremonial flags larger than those of Luo Xian, the governor-general.

The generals frowned.

Yang Hu comforted everyone, "Those who have extraordinary abilities must have extraordinary abilities. If you look at their equipment, they will definitely be able to use them if they have great talents!"

Yang Hu has always been a good man and would not offend anyone.

Luo Xian gave him face and didn't say much.

Wang Jun walked up, surrounded by a group of generals, and offered his hands to the two men from a distance, "The two governors are here to greet your subordinates. It's a shame."

Wang Jun is a bit grander, but he is not annoying.

The three of them are not narrow-minded people. After a few pleasantries, the estrangement disappeared.

"Xiling City is high and solid. Even if our army can capture it, we will suffer heavy casualties. Downstream there are Yidao, Jingmen, Lexiang, Gong'an, Xiakou, Wuchang, Chaisang and other important towns. Once our army is exhausted, Lu Kang will send his troops If we attack from a double attack, I'm afraid Liu Xuande's defeat at Yiling." Wang Jun has no obsession with Xiling.

"How can we capture Jingzhou without breaking Xiling? How can we capture Jiangdong without breaking Jingzhou?" Luo Xian said in a deep voice.

Wang Jun cupped his hands and said: "If you don't destroy the Xiling, why can't you go straight to the east of the Yangtze River?"

This question stunned both of them.

But he quickly reacted and Yang Hu praised: "As expected of Wang Shizhi!"

Luo Xian returned the salute, "Great idea!"

If it were two years ago, and Lu Kang had an elite naval force in his hands, Wang Jun's words would be nonsense.

But now that the land and water forces are gone, the advantage lies with the Qin army.

On the other hand, the Wu army was accustomed to the solidity of Xiling and never expected the Qin army to go directly down the river.

Take him by surprise and attack his heart!

Yang Hu reminded: "The Wu army built three iron cables on the Yangtze River, fearing that it would be difficult for the navy to pass."

Wang Jun said: "This is exactly the Wu army's guilty conscience. If they have naval forces in their hands, why bother crossing the river with iron ropes? My subordinates have their own way of breaking the iron ropes. Soochow is real on the outside and weak on the inside. If they can break through Jingzhou and go down the river, the Wu people will surely Terrified, my subordinates recruited traitors, rushed into Jianye, and annihilated Soochow!"

It sounds so easy to say, but putting it into practice is another matter.

Just like when Du Yu sneaked into Yinping, it seemed simple afterwards, but it was difficult and dangerous, and Du Yu knew it at the time.

Wu State has always attached great importance to the defense line of the Yangtze River. If any accident occurs, Wang Jun will never return.

Wang Jun's ambition obviously exceeded Luo Xian's, and Yang Hu's expectations were that he would only capture the weakly defended lower reaches of Jingzhou, but he did not expect that his thoughts would directly focus on Jianye!

"We have Lu Kang in Jingzhou, Tao Huang in Lingnan, and Zhonghui in Jianghuai. Although our army is strong, there is nothing we can do for a moment. Otherwise, we cannot defeat Soochow." Wang Jun handed over to the two men again.

Luo Xian still frowned.

From another perspective, Qin and Wu were in confrontation. If Wang Jun left without returning, the Qin army would be defeated for a while, and its morale would be damaged, and it would be impossible to destroy Wu.

Staying in Xiling while the three armies fight fiercely is a clumsy approach, but it is better because it is safe.

Since ancient times, planning has been easy, but decision-making has been difficult.

Luo Xian is responsible to the court and Yang Zheng.

But Yang Hu laughed loudly and said, "Whoever defeats Wu must be ruled by kings and scholars! The governor does not need to worry too much, the soldiers are quick and fast. People in the east of the Yangtze River are now scattered, and the rulers will flow down the river. The people of Wu will think that the country will be destroyed. If there is any mistake, Hu is willing Take full responsibility!”

When it comes to fighting, Yang Hu is not as good as Luo Xian or Lu Kang, but when it comes to understanding people, not many in the world can surpass him.

Historically, it was Yang Hu who recommended Du Yu and Wang Jun to Sima Yan.

Wang Jun gratefully bowed his hand to Yang Hu.

Luo Xian stared at Wang Jun with piercing eyes, "Prefect Wang dared to put himself in danger, how could I restrain his hands and feet? If this battle can be successful, a hundred thousand bones will be spared, and a hundred thousand families will be saved. There will also be five in our army." Thousands of elite navy troops can be mobilized under the command of the prefect to attack, and Luo Shang will obey the order, so the king's general will go out for the expedition."

"Wei!" The two of them held their hands and walked out.

"The Qin Dynasty has two governors. If the security of Jiangdong is not destroyed, how can the security of the country be prosperous?" Wang Jun saluted Luo Xian.
