Earlier, the mainland discussed going to Jiangling in person. On the one hand, it purchased supplies for Jiangdong to send troops, and on the other hand, it visited Lei Yuan and begged him for understanding the Jiangdong military operations.

Naturally, Lei Yuan decided not by himself, so he immediately sent someone to report to the Chengdu Center, and at the same time urged Wu Ban and Liao Hua from Jiangzhou to send more secret spies and scouts to try his best to grasp the movements of the Jiangdong Army.

Ten days later, Zhuge Liang personally replied to Jiangling. The letter meant: Ask Lei Yuan to mobilize elite soldiers and move slightly to the eastern front. If Jiangdong could indeed capture Liaodong and fulfill their promise to disturb Cao Wei's northern border, this force would be attracted but not to be released. If the main force of the Jiangdong Army was destroyed or severely damaged in Liaodong, it would be necessary to trouble Lei Yuan leads his army to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou and share the worries of the queen's brother.

Since the Battle of Chibi, the world's powers may have tacit understanding, and launch large-scale wars every three or four years. This is because small fights are meaningless, and if you want to win the decisive battle, you must learn lessons after several years of life.

Although Jing and Jiaozhou won the war two years ago, the losses of soldiers and materials were extremely huge. After that, they were recuperating and recovering. Although their vitality gradually recovered, they were unable to mobilize the army and launch a war. Fortunately, as long as Lei Yuan acted with a small number of elite troops, there would be no problem.

Lei Yuan then ordered Deng Fan, who was originally stationed in Jiangling, and Wang Ping, two troops to advance eastward. Deng Fan was stationed in E County, while Wang Ping went further eastward and directly garrisoned his troops into Chaisang.

E County is a place of soldiers on the riverside, located in the middle of the waterway between Jingzhou and Jiangzhou. After Lei Yuan commanded the military affairs of the three prefectures, he set up military camps in Hulin and Fanshan on the east side of E County, as an important military fortress along the river.

Chaisang is the military hub of Jiangzhou, where General Jianwei and the former guard Wu Ban were stationed.

E County is 480 miles away from Chaisang, and the navy is downstream at full speed and can reach it in two days. The confrontation with Chaisang is Pengze County, a military city in Jiangdong, with a distance of only 60 miles between the two places.

In Jiangzhou, the troops of the Wu Ban of Chaisang and Liao Hua of Nanchang have always been sufficient, and they are not at a disadvantage in Jiangdong. In addition, the support of Deng Fan and Wang Ping's troops, their intention to deterrence is so clear that it is clear.

Under this deterrence, Sun Quan issued a general order, causing Jiangdong military ships to gather in large quantities and carry troops to fight north. Regardless of the purpose, his vision, courage, and courage to make up his mind are truly extraordinary.

On this day, Wang Ping's troops were stationed. Wu Ban personally entered the camp to visit and asked Wang Ping to accompany him to patrol the rivers and lakes, and routinely explore the movements of the Jiangdong Army opposite. Wu Ban and Wang Ping are also old acquaintances. Lei Yuan led Wang Ping and others to fight fiercely at the Geling Firefield, and almost died at the hands of Xu Chu. Thanks to Wu Ban leading the crossbowman to bluff on the flank, he saved everyone's lives.

As Lei Yuan's identity grew, both of them became senior officers who commanded heavy troops one after another, and they had not seen each other for more than a year. Wu Ban came forward to invite him, and Wang Ping happily obeyed.

The scale of the Jiangzhou navy is not as large as that of the Jingzhou and Jiaozhou navy. The scope of its activities is mainly limited to Penglize, with a total of more than 200 ships. Most of these military ships were newly built in recent years, and most of them were shipyards in Jiangjin Port and Baqiu.

Considering the needs of combat, the hulls of Jiangzhou military ships are generally small and strong, and they move quickly. For example, the red horses first boarded the boats, and were built with heavy wood, and then covered the hull with cowhide, leaving only arrow holes and observation holes, as if they were turtles, crocodiles and other armored animals floating on the water. At the bow of the ship, there are additional sharp collision angles covering iron armor for combat formation collisions.

A few months ago, Wu Ban led a team of ships to the surrounding area of ​​Anhuikou, but was intercepted by the Jiangdong Navy. Wu Ban acted as if he was willing to hit the boat, rushed out among the masts and oars in Jiangdong, and returned to Chaisang safely.

The route of this Japanese ship was to go to Jiangbei first, see Xunyang and Songz lines, and then turn south, passing by in front of the Jiangdong Navy Camp in Pengze County.

Standing on the military boat and looking out, I saw beacon towers on the banks of the rivers and lakes, both sides of the east and west, with strong warnings and constant whistle and cavalry.

Because of the few cities, Jiangdong has built many strong military forts in recent years to occupy a place of victory. The fortresses are everywhere, and the horns are heard from afar. The fortresses are all set up in the water. The waterfront has free water gates, and there are flying boats and steers in and out. Although the soldiers on the boat cannot see clearly, they can only see the armies in full, and everyone is standing upright, not loose chaotic troops.

Wu Ban and Wang Ping are both generals who have been through the battlefield for a long time. Although they do not take the Jiangdong Army seriously, they also feel that they have very strict defenses and are definitely not allowed to fight in one battle.

"We will have a good time now, let's take a closer look." Wu Ban turned around and ordered the navy commander.

Many ships drew ripples on the water surface and approached Jiangdong Water Village together. Their actions were quite provocative.

Nearing about two miles, on the overlooking tower of the water village, the soldiers who were looking at it began to wave their flags to warn them. The crossbowmen approached the protruding piers on the village wall in an orderly manner, and there were whistling sounds, and they began to signal to the military camp in the distance.

Wu Ban sighed: "It is said that the elite troops of the Jiangdong Army went to Liaodong and mobilized thousands of military ships to transport the army and maintain the supply of logistics supplies. However, as I saw in Jiangzhou, the troops left in Jiangdong were still tight and the defense was as orderly as usual, and there was no loophole to see?"

Wang Ping looked at it for a long time and nodded, "Although there were few soldiers in Jiangdong, they finally had five years of rest and rest, and the troops were all trained for a long time. No wonder General Lei always said that he did not consider taking Jiangdong by force... Judging from the situation of their troops, it was more than enough to use self-protection."

The two looked for a while, and drums rumbling in a water village opposite, and a fleet of ships sailed out at the opening of the water gate.

The fleet was centered with large ships, and the clutches on both sides were spread out like giant wings. Although it was against the wind, the boat was still agile. The oars on both sides of the clutch were raised up neatly and then inserted into the river to slide. Dozens of oars were undulating and undulating, and the clutch was flying like flying, gradually becoming a clutch.

"The Jiangdong Navy is well-trained and does have one."

Wu Ban nodded and exclaimed, and what else should he say, the navy commander came to Feilu: "General, do we want to change the formation to compete with him?"

In the past two years, Wu Ban gradually controlled both the water and land armies of Jiangzhou, and made many adjustments and improvements according to his own experience and vision. At the time of ambitiousness, he had faced the Jiangdong Navy head-on several times before, and had hit each other's ships and threatened each other's ships.

Fortunately, he finally remembered that Wang Ping brought Jiangling's request, asking him to "recruit but not send it."

"Send flag words, gather our fleet, and evacuate! We will not bother you today!"

"Abide by the order!"

The navy commander waved the flag and whispered the trumpet to the upper level of the bird room, and more than 20 navy ships in the Jiangzhou navy turned at the same time.

Inside Jiangdong Water Village.

Lu Yi chuckled twice and went down the towering tower along the wooden ladder.

General Quan Cong of Suinan followed from the side and said worriedly: "These Jiangzhou people are very hateful. Maybe they are all waiting to see our jokes!"

Sun Quan announced that he would attack Liaodong, and it took only two or three months to actually travel. Not to mention how hasty the military preparations were, even within the Jiangdong regime, he could not agree on it, and many generals had doubts about this.

Lu Yi shook his head with a relaxed look on his face: "Don't worry, Zihuang, they can't see our jokes."

"What does Bo Yan say?"
