Chapter 849: The Troubles of King Wu (Supplementary Noon)
Guiyang County, Chen County, and Tongque led the Northern Palace Army to break through the city defended by Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong, the general of King Yang Shilang of Song, was eventually defeated by the Northern Palace Army and was captured by Liu Laozhi, a fierce general of the Northern Palace Army.
Zhou Yu's navy cut off Yang Shilang's reinforcements, while Xie Xuan's Northern Mansion Army was responsible for breaking the formation and siegeing the city, and the fortress in the southernmost part of Jingnan fell.
"Han Shizhong, serve me and I will appoint you as the new King of Song in the future."
Tongque learned that the Northern Prefecture Army captured Han Shizhong, who was also a famous general.
"impossible."
Han Shizhong struggled hard, but the rope that tied him was getting closer and closer and could not get out of it.
Liu Laozhi's big hand pressed on his shoulder, making Han Shizhong desperate.
"When I capture Xiangyang City, maybe you won't think so."
During the Battle of the North, Tongque still fought bloody battles with his old rival Yang Shilang. With Zhou Yu and Xie Xuan's navy, he was invincible in the Yangtze River Basin. After breaking through Xiakou, he divided Jingnan and Jingbei and attacked Jingnan.
Jingbei tried to use teleportation array to dispatch reinforcements to support Jingnan, but this happened to be in line with the tactic of Tongque surrounding the point to attack reinforcements.
No matter how many troops Xiangyang supports from Jiangling in Jingbei and how many troops the city will be annihilated by the Northern Prefecture Army, Jingnan has become a bottomless pit.
The Northern Prefecture Army is getting stronger and stronger as it fights. The current Northern Prefecture Army has 300,000 troops from high-level troops to low-level troops.
"Further south is the Lingnan area, which is the territory of Wang Defa, the governor of Jiaozhou. I cannot continue to move south."
Tongque took Jingnan, but was not willing to continue to go south to attack Jiaozhou.
The main force of Jingbei is still there, and the troops are divided into two groups to attack Jingbei and Jiaozhou, and they will be in a situation of fighting on both sides.
Now, only Chu Tian has this ability in the entire Han Empire, while other princes try to avoid fighting on both sides.
and……
"It is said that Wang Defa, the governor of Jiaozhou, fought with Dayue Kingdom. Wang Defa has always been dissatisfied with the monkeys of Annan Kingdom and wanted to destroy Dayue Kingdom. The biggest reliance of Dayue Kingdom is the jungle between Dayue Kingdom and Jiaozhou."
The bronze bird looked in the south.
When the Northern War broke out, the southern princes actually had various troubles.
For example, Liu Bei and Yang Su colluded with each other to unify Yizhou and attack the Jiangdong forces of the Southern Barbarians and Hanzhong. The Tongque fought with Yang Shilang's Jingzhou forces.
Wang Defa, the governor of Jiaozhou, was not idle either. He knew that with the strength of Jiaozhou, it was difficult to fight either Yangzhou or Jingzhou, so he simply went south to attack the Dayue Kingdom.
The Great Yue Kingdom no longer belongs to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but to the Annan District.
Historically, Annan District belonged to Jiaozhou. Later, after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Annan broke away from the rule of China, and the Song Dynasty was unable to take back Annan, which led to Annan becoming another civilization.
The Ming Dynasty once occupied Annan, but because of the poor rule of the officers and soldiers, the local area was separated from China for hundreds of years and was unwilling to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty. The rebellions continued, and the Ming Dynasty eventually gave up Annan.
It can be considered that Annan was part of the separation from ancient China, and now both sides have turned against each other.
Therefore, Wang Defa, the governor of Jiaozhou, wanted to conquer Annan under the banner of ancient times.
As long as you capture the royal city of Dayue Kingdom and control the teleportation array, the troops and horses of Jiaozhou can continuously enter the hinterland of Dayue Kingdom, and it is entirely possible to rule the local area.
This is also Wang Defa's abacus.
Tongque naturally wanted to see the Jiaozhou Guards and the Dayue Kingdom get into evil, so that Wang Defa would be unlikely to attack him from behind.
At the same time, Tongque was not willing to fight with Wang Defa because even if he occupied Jiaozhou, he would be disgusted by the monkeys of the Great Yue Kingdom.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let Wang Defa consume the national strength of Yue.
Wang Defa's general should be good at fighting in jungle areas.
If you want to conquer Southeast Asian civilization, cavalry generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing may not be practical, because in "Lord", the troops of Southeast Asian civilization have special bonuses in jungle combat.
When the Northern Prefecture Army of Tongque arrived in the jungle, it might be attacked by the troops of the Great Yue Kingdom using guerrilla tactics.
"I ordered Sun Jian to attack Hefei City, why did he act so slowly this time? His Jiangdong army responded quickly and quickly approached Hefei City. The first time he almost captured Hefei, and this time..."
When Tongque was concerned about the affairs in the south, he focused on his righteous brother Sun Jian.
He had already noticed that Sun Jian was a little abnormal.
At least this time, Tongque ordered Sun Jian to attack Hefei for the fourth time, and Sun Jian was a little dragging and not so refreshing.
"I guess he was a little irritated because of his repeated attacks on Hefei and was no longer willing to continue attacking Hefei. Hefei is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. Maybe he should focus on attacking Jiangling and Xiangyang, the two big cities. As long as he uses the navy to enter the Han River and cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Nanyang, Jingzhou is my pocket. If Sun Jian still can't defeat Hefei this time, then he will be transferred to attack Jiangling and I will attack Xiangyang myself."
Tongque didn't know that there was a secret agreement between Sun Jian and Lu Su, and thought that Sun Jian was disheartened about attacking Hefei, so he had a negative attitude, so he wanted to call Sun Jian to mainly attack Jingzhou and find a new breakthrough.
There were two ways to attack the Central Plains. One was to attack Huainan, the other was to attack Xiangfan, cross Fangcheng Xia Road, and attack Xuchang.
Of course, you can also attack strange routes such as Qingzhou and Liaodong by sea.
It’s not that it’s not impossible, but that it’s not easy to replenish.
While considering the next layout, a fast horse galloped back. Because the speed was too fast, the horse fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth!
The scout cavalry on the horse's back escaped from the war horse in time and headed straight for the bronze bird.
The guard of the Tongque, the fierce general Xiao Moke lifted it up with one hand to prevent the cavalry from attacking the Tongque.
Tongque disagreed: "Don't panic. This person is so in a hurry, there must be something important to report."
Sure enough, the cavalry said anxiously: "Your Highness, Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan thief who fled from Yizhou to Jingzhou, defeated a unit of our navy. General Ling Cao of the navy was defeated, and Ling Cao was captured alive by Gan Ning!"
"It's outrageous!"
Tongque originally captured Guiyang County in Jingnan and included Jingnan within the sphere of influence. He was about to reward the entire army and captured Jingbei in one go. At this time, news came that Zhou Yu's Navy Army General Ling Cao was defeated.
Ling Cao was from Wujun and was also one of the navy generals conquered by Tongque.
If Ling Cao was killed in battle, it would be a considerable loss for Tongque.
Tongque is different from Chu Tian. Chu Tian’s generals are like clouds and even ignore second- and third-rate generals such as Zu Dashou. Tongque cherishes every general very much.
Ganning was originally a powerful man in Yizhou. He formed a Jinfan thief army and rebelled under the instigation of Yang Shilang to welcome the troops of Jingzhou into Shu.
Later, Liu Yan received help from Liu Bei and Yang Su to repel the Jingzhou army. The Jingzhou army was defeated. Gan Ning knew that he could not stay in Yizhou, so he had to flee to Jingzhou and temporarily served Yang Shilang.
A young man in white who followed Tongque bowed to Tongque and said to Tongque: "Gan Ning, this person is cheerful and generous, brave and resourceful, and is a tiger general. He is wild and fierce, irritable and bloody, often breaks his promises and pays attention to loyalty. Now that King Song has lost power, I am willing to go and persuade Gan Ning to surrender to our army and return it to General Ling Cao."
"How sure is Ziming?"
The bronze bird looked at the boy in white.
In fact, even if Ling Cao is damaged, Tongque thinks it doesn't matter, but the person in front of him is ten times more important than Ling Cao.
Because Ziming is the name Lu Meng.
