During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han Dynasty established the governors of Hanzhong, Jiangzhou, Yongan, and Najiang. Among them, the three governors of Hanzhong, Yong'an, and Lajiang were all located in the border areas of Shuhan.
Among them, the governor of Hanzhong guarded the north gate of Shuhan and bore the pressure from Cao Wei. In the history of the Shu-Han Dynasty, the first governor-general of Hanzhong was Wei Yan, which highlighted the important position of the governor-general of Hanzhong among the four major governors of the Shu-Han Dynasty.
The Governor of Yong'an guarded the east gate of Yizhou. During the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei stayed at Baidi City in Yong'an, thus establishing the Governor of Yong'an.
As for the Governor of Nanzhong, he guarded the rear of Shu Han and transported cattle, war horses, gold and silver and other materials from the Nanzhong area to the court to support Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.
However, unlike the above three governors, the governor of Jiangzhou was located in the hinterland of Shuhan. However, this position is even more important than the remaining positions.
As a waterway transportation hub, Jiangzhou can reach Yong'an to the east, Nanzhong to the south, Chengdu to the west, and Hanzhong to the north. This prompted the governor of Jiangzhou to play the role of a fire-fighting captain.
The troops along the Yangtze River were divided into two groups: land and water. Although Li Jing was nominally in charge of Qi Jiguang's 80,000 naval troops, it was certainly impossible for Qi Jiguang to bring out all 80,000 naval troops. There was no way Li Jing would let him do this.
In fact, although Qi Jiguang brought out 70,000 of the 80,000 Yangtze River Navy, he also left 10,000 for Yue Fei in case of emergencies.
Later, in Yue Fei's battle, even if it was a passive defense, with 10,000 navy troops present, it could help him reduce some pressure. Otherwise, if no navy is left at all, it would be equivalent to handing over all the water control rights in this battle to the enemy.
Qi Jiguang's 70,000-strong navy went by water, while Wu Qi's 100,000-horse army went by land. With the cooperation of the two men, they set out from Yiling and won consecutive battles along the way. They successively defeated Baidi City and a large number of Shu troops. The fortresses along the way pushed the front directly to Jiangzhou.
Moreover, these two people used strategies to win along the way, and the losses were definitely within their acceptable range.
However, Jiangzhou City is not easy to capture. Now that their reinforcements have arrived, and with Xu Shiji's reinforcements, the enemy force they are facing has reached 100,000, and it will be even more difficult to capture it.
In the army camp, Qi Jiguang looked helplessly at Wu Qi, but couldn't get anything useful from his mouth.
Although Qi Jiguang's military position is that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Yangtze River Navy, which is at the level of a Commander-in-Chief, his role as Commander-in-Chief is not equal to that of the Commander-in-Chief of a state, and must be within the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of that state.
Therefore, it seems that Qi Jiguang is at the level of governor, but he is really not half higher than Wu Qi, the deputy governor. Even if Wu Qi has some plot in his heart and is unwilling to say it, Qi Jiguang really can't do anything to him for the time being.
In fact, Qi Jiguang knew that if Wu Qi was really willing, it was quite possible to capture Jiangzhou City before Xu Shiji's reinforcements arrived.
However, Wu Qi has been holding back and not taking Jiangzhou City. Obviously, there are only two possibilities. The first one is naturally that Wu Qi betrayed the Jin army and had disobedient thoughts in his heart. …
However, there is actually little room for this possibility. Wu Qi is now a deputy governor-general, and he is also the deputy governor-general of Jingzhou.
Although the Jin army in Jingzhou only controlled half of the state, due to the special nature of this place, the number of troops stationed was far higher than that in other states.
Other states, including the base camp Sizhou, except for elite battalions such as the heavy cavalry, the trapped camp, and the flying tiger camp, only have a standing force of 100,000.
But what is the situation in Jingzhou? Even excluding the 80,000 troops of Qi Jiguang's Yangtze Navy, Yue Fei's Jingzhou troops were as high as 200,000.
Wu Qi was already the deputy governor of Jingzhou and was under the control of other princes. Unless those princes directly let Wu Qi be the marshal of the army, Wu Qi would not be able to gain a higher substantive status and power at all.
Since the first possibility is unlikely, the only remaining explanation is the second possibility, which is that Wu Qi has a bigger plan, and what he wants is even above Jiangzhou City.
Moreover, during this period of time, the army clearly had enough food and grass, but Wu Qi kept destroying the food from the rear. It can be seen that he had a big move in his heart.
What is helpless is that although Qi Jiguang is curious about what Wu Qi is planning, the other party's tone is too strict. He has been testing for so long, but he has not found anything effective.
"Dang, clang, clang, clang..." The sound of gongs and drums continued to sound.
Of course, Wu Qi and Qi Jiguang definitely couldn't hear them here. The Chinese army's tent must be in the center of the camp, so those sounds couldn't reach here.
Even if someone came to report this situation later, Wu Qi did not take it seriously. With so many generals under his command, someone would naturally solve this problem. If he can solve such big and small problems, then why should the generals below do it?
The general is the commander of the soldiers, and the commander of the army is in charge of these generals!
Since Xu Shiji arrived, the Jin army was not in a hurry to attack the city, and only carried out feint attacks every day. Instead, Wu Qi concentrated his energy on Jiao Zhi, still implementing his previous style of winning by outsmarting.
Seeing that the Jin army did not launch a sudden attack, Xu Shiji took a peek at the camp and thought of a plan. He sent two generals, Yang Duanhe and Pang De, to patrol all night. Near dawn, he sent two generals, Yan Yan and Jiuchong, from the city. Go out and attack the left and right sides of Wu Qi's camp.
This was a plan to weaken the army. Wu Qi already knew it when he learned that the golden drums were beating loudly in the camp, but it was unthinkable and he had to order the entire army to resist the sneak attack by the Shu army.
After repelling the invading enemy, it was already midday.
The troops buried pots and cooked rice. After they had eaten and drank enough, it was almost time.
If you want to attack the city, after arranging your troops, it will be almost sunset.
However, many things cannot be separated, especially in front of a character like Wu Qi. At first, he didn't expect his plan to weaken the army, so he allowed the opponent to take effect.
But after the first time, Xu Shiji used this method again, and it had little effect. The people who came to carry out his mission were either killed or driven away.
Of course, Xu Shiji would sometimes send troops to ambush those who were dispersed by the Jin army, but Wu Qi would definitely make corresponding arrangements. In short, it is your small group of troops who will kill me, and I will kill you all. The relationship between wavelet people and horses.
