Wang Meng didn't know Xia Jun's plan, but he was aware of it. After listening to the news delivered by his spies, he felt the abnormality of Xia Jun's behavior and gave a guess close to the truth.
Fu Jian had no doubts about his inference.
Their monarch and his ministers get along well with each other like a fish in water. The level of trust between the monarch and his ministers is deeper than that of Liu Bei and Zhuge. Fu Jian can entrust all the troops in his hands to Wang Meng without any doubt.
Wang Meng will not let down Fu Jian's trust, and will devote his whole life to Fu Jian's great cause.
It's a pity that when Wang Meng died of illness, he saw the hidden dangers of the former Qin Dynasty and asked Fu Jian not to send an army south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This last wish was not listened to.
In the end, Fu Jian went on a personal expedition and was defeated at Feishui. The hegemony of the former Qin Dynasty collapsed in one fell swoop, and he himself was captured and killed two years later.
After arriving in the world of Shenzhou, Fu Jian knew his original fate. He was shocked, angry, and very ashamed. He trusted Wang Meng even more in his heart, even to the point of obeying his words.
There is no way, it is impossible not to listen. The result of not listening to Wang Meng's words is defeat and death.
"In Jinglue's opinion, Huan Wen's troops will be defeated by Xia's army, and Jiangling will be in danger. Wouldn't our plan be interrupted by Xia's army?"
Fu Jian asked with his brows twitching slightly.
Jiangling is the target chosen by him and Wang Meng. When the opportunity arises, they will seize Jiangling and rebuild their power. However, Jiangling is now being targeted by the two dynasty forces of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Xia Army. It will be difficult for their plan to succeed.
Wang Meng also frowned a little. His talents and strategies were top-notch. When the shackles of the Heaven Realm were broken, he would be able to step into the Heaven Realm naturally and become one of the few top experts in the world.
But no matter how powerful he is, there is nothing he can do if there is no room for him to develop.
Fu Jian and only a few of his men now have thousands of troops hidden in the mountains south of Jiangling, but these troops are not even capable of supporting a small force.
Without a small population, a large amount of food and supplies, and a large number of elite soldiers, what could Wang Meng do to expand?
In today's world, it is no longer the time when countless smoke and dust surged up in the first year of Taichu, and all kinds of ambitious people could rise.
Sun Ru and Yang Xingmi, who were regarded as strong enemies by Wang Jing at the beginning, are now unable to even make a splash. Countless forces merged with each other and grew stronger, eventually forming extremely powerful dynasties.
When the top dynasty was formed, the space of the Chinese world was squeezed. The difficulty for subsequent forces to rise was ten times or more than twenty times that of the first year of Taichu.
Whether it is Yang Jian or Fu Jian, these wise kings, or heroes like Yu Wentai and Gao Huan, they will all be beaten to death. Wang Meng also thought of this.
He lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment before saying: "Now Jiangling has become a place of right and wrong. Sooner or later, the Han army and the Xia army will approach with a large army. Huan Wen cannot stop it. With our current strength, we will not be able to face the Han army and the Xia army." Hitting an egg against a stone!"
"When Ming Gong reestablished his dynasty, he could only temporarily abandon Jiangling and go south to Changsha. He would attack the large and small forces in the south in Jingnan and other places, and first try to strengthen himself as much as possible..."
After understanding the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Daxia, Wang Meng had to temporarily give up his original plan.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang dared to plot Jingzhou when Cao Wei's army moved south because they had a strong foundation in Jingzhou itself.
After all, Fu Jian and Wang Meng were from Guanzhong and were somewhat out of place in Jiangling and Jingnan.
Without a foundation, no matter how powerful the two of them are, they cannot grow in a short period of time.
Usurping Huan Wen's foundation and seizing Jiangling is the best strategy expected. Once there is no chance to seize Jiangling, they will naturally choose another target.
"Changsha... does the idea of Jingluo mean to use Changsha as a foundation to climb over the mountains and enter Jiaozhou? If we can capture Jiaozhou, we can also form an elite force, recharge our batteries, and wait for the opportunity!"
Fu Jian was clear in his heart and understood Wang Meng's unfinished intentions.
Just like when Yang Jian saw Xia Jun's tyranny in Jiangdu, he had the intention to develop in Jingzhou, because there was no room for him to rise in Jianghuai and Jiangnan.
Fu Jian
It's the same thing. If you can't find opportunities in Gangneung, you will naturally look elsewhere.
A good woman can't make a living without rice. Without a school of civil and military officers, elite troops and horses, all plans are empty talk. Fu Jian and Wang Meng felt this way in their hearts at this time.
The Xia army's soldiers and horses just made some changes, and they felt a strong pressure coming towards them in Jiangling. I don’t know when they will have such prestige.
"Well, Gangneung will soon become a place of right and wrong. Let's leave the city first and go to Wuling first. Once something unexpected happens in Jiangling, we will capture Wuling first and win the first big city!"
Changsha is also a prosperous place. With the power of Fu Jian and Wang Meng, it is not difficult to seize the city, but it is not so easy to maintain stable rule, so Wang Meng plans to expand in Wuling first.
Xiushui, this big river flows gently, without the rough waves of the Yangtze River.
This river is separated from the Miluo River by a mountain range. Linxiang is to the north of the mountain range and Baling is to the northwest, which is very close to Huan Wen's army. However, almost no army can climb the mountains in the Chinese world, especially the more famous ones.
Even woodcutters and hunters did not dare to enter the mountains. They only dared to cut down some trees at the foot of the mountains and hunt some birds and animals. Once they enter the mountains, they will become food for monsters and beasts.
With the mountains to the north covering them, everything south of the mountains will not be noticed by Linxiang and Baling as long as their movements are not big. After passing some low hills to the south of the mountain, there is the Miluo River to the west.
Miluo River is famous in history because of Qu Yuan. This large river is also much wider than Xiushui. This can be seen from the name. One is called Shui and the other is called Jiang.
On the water of Miluo River, hundreds of warships were traveling rapidly.
These warships did not fly any flags, but the strength of this army could be seen from the capable soldiers on the warships. Xie Xuan and Han Qinhu stood on the deck, scanning both sides of the river carefully.
When they passed Xiushui, there were not many waves. The Xiushui basin has been enveloped by Daxia, and it will become the territory of Daxia in a while.
Apart from wiping out some water thieves on the way, there were no other incidents.
However, after crossing the mountains and entering the Miluo River, they entered Huan Wen's sphere of influence and had to be cautious.
As for how they brought hundreds of warships across the mountains and forests into the Miluo River... because the warships they took had been heavily modified. People from the Daxia Ministry of Industry, Construction Department, and Daozheng Department, in addition to studying cloud vehicles and warships, are also studying flying boats and flying warships.
With spiritual stones as energy sources and various talisman spells as tools, as long as there is a large amount of resource support, it is not too difficult to develop a flying warship.
Now Daxia's research in this area has achieved considerable results.
It has been able to consume a large amount of spiritual stones, borrow wind control and light wind magic circles, reduce the weight of a warship, and even refine it into a flying magic weapon.
The warship Xie Xuan was riding on had undergone such a transformation.
Of course, due to the problem of too much consumption, these warships can fly in the air in a short period of time, and consume a large amount of spiritual stones every time they fly a certain distance.
Therefore, except in rare cases, these warships will not be used easily. When the technology is fully mature, Daxia's flying fleet will be able to bombard powerful enemies overwhelmingly and sweep across all directions.
On the warship, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were hiding in it.
Once an enemy is encountered, one or two clippers will quickly intercept them and block all news. Xie Xuan looked solemn and held a map in his hand.
On the map, some important cities along the march are marked.
"General, Pingjiang is in front of us. If our army passes by, it will definitely alarm the troops in the city. Do you want to blockade the Miluo River and capture this city first?"
Han Qinhu asked casually.
Xie Xuan scanned the map and found Pingjiang.
"Well, this place is not far from Xiangyin, and it is Huanwen's important fulcrum in the south of Dongting Lake... But now Huanwen's attention should be on Linxiang and Jiangxia, and he won't pay too much attention to Pingjiang!"
Xie Xuan thought about it for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Then first
Take this city and replenish food and grass in the city. "
They came all the way with a surprise attack, and they didn't bring much food and grass with them, which would allow them to hold on to Jiangling City. However, if they could not capture the city immediately, Xia's army might be short of food.
Before attacking Jiangling, it is necessary to find a place to supplement.
Han Qinhu looked shocked and immediately said: "Please give me a thousand elite soldiers, and I will capture Pingjiang within half an hour..."
As soon as he said this, Shi Dakai, who wanted to ask for his life, Fang Jie, who followed Xie Xuan and others on the expedition, and Gao Shun, who was in command of the trapped camp, could only stop their activities.
Shi Dakai, Fang Jie, and Gao Shun are all ninth-level generals. Together with Xie Xuan and Han Qinhu, they are the top five powerful men. And the elite troops under their command, arranged in a military formation, also have invincible destructive power.
If Huan Wen knew that this elite force was attacking at a very fast speed, he would definitely recall all his troops to defend Jiangling, because except for Jiangling, no other city could stop this elite assault.
Pingjiang City is not too big. It is just a fulcrum military fortress for Huan Wen in the south of Dongting Lake, but its location is far less important than Xiangyin.
There were about 20,000 defenders in the city.
When the city wall defenders saw hundreds of warships appearing, they were shocked. boom!
Han Qinhu personally took action, and the violent divine gang tore through the wind and clouds. With its violent and waveless power, it easily wiped out all the resistance on the city wall.
There were no ladders, no trebuchets, and no kerosene bombs.
After Han Qinhu took action, a thousand elites followed closely behind them, activating their Gangqi one after another. Like ferocious tigers and leopards, they stepped on the city wall and reached the top of the city in a few clicks, suppressing the roaring and running defeated soldiers.
Creaking, the city gate was opened.
Fifty thousand elite soldiers disembarked and surrounded the city tightly. No soldiers, broken soldiers, common people, or merchants could leave. One day later.
After replenishing grain and grass supplies from Pingjiang, hundreds of warships set off again, but before leaving, they left a thousand soldiers and horses to continue blocking the city. They waited half a day after the warships left before leaving by boat.
By this time, Pingjiang was back in the hands of Huan Jun again, but at this time, without the general in charge, Pingjiang became extremely chaotic and could not recover in a short time.
After crossing Pingjiang River, Xie Xuan's troops quickly entered the waters of Dongting Lake.
There are many islands in Dongting Lake, and there are a large number of water thieves hiding among them. Huan Wen's navy also has strongholds on many islands.
When hundreds of warships suddenly appeared in Dongting Lake.
The entire Dongting Lake was shocked, and then everyone was horrified. Just looking at the momentum of the soldiers on the warship, it was obvious that it was different from Huan Wen's navy.
This is the navy of other forces!
When these people thought for a moment, they thought of Daxia, which was about to attack Jingchu! Could it be that this is the elite navy of Daxia? Why did they suddenly appear in Dongting Lake?
Could it be that the defense lines in Linxiang and Baling have been lost?
Huan Wen's generals and commanders in the water village in Dongting Lake were all very frightened.
They quickly reported the news of Xia Jun's navy using special means. At this time, after Xie Xuan's troops entered Dongting Lake, Xie Xuan, Han Qinhu and Shi Dakai successively activated their magical powers.
Use military strategist's magical power to bless the warship and speed up the march.
All famous generals have some magical military powers, such as rapid marching, hiding momentum, setting up ambushes, and fire attacks. These military magical powers can speed up the march and make fire or water attacks more effective.
A few famous generals can even practice this military magical power to the extreme and turn it into their own special ability. For example, Zhou Yu, the general of Soochow, has definitely studied the ability to call wind and fire attack to the extreme...
Xie Xuan and Han Qinhu have no special research in this area, but they can use some magical powers. With the support of three famous generals.
The marching speed of hundreds of warships reached the limit. When the news reached the public security, Xie Xuan had already led his troops into Huarong and entered the Yangtze River through the Huarong River.
And directly crossed Shishou, advancing rapidly all the way, which alarmed many merchant ships on the Yangtze River, and came directly to
The police, that is, the police.
This is Jiangling's first line of defense. When Sun Quan from the original world attacked Guan Yu, he attacked here first. And across the river from here is Jiangling!
The person guarding this place is Huan Wen’s general Huan Chong! He is Huan Wen's brother. Historically, he assisted Xie Xuan in defeating the former Qin army at Feishui. Xie Xuan was in charge of the eastern defense line and he was in charge of the western defense line.
In terms of status, he is equal to Xie Xuan and is a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
When the news of the Xia army's elite raid reached his ears, his sentinels had already seen hundreds of warships approaching in overwhelming numbers.
The Public Security Bureau is an important part of the Gangneung Defense Line, and there is no room for failure.
Huan Chong directly climbed to the top of the city, began to urgently mobilize troops and horses, and quickly spread the news of the enemy's surprise attack to Jiangling. "How could Xia's army cross Linxiang and Baling and suddenly appear near Jiangling like a divine army descending from the sky?"
Huan Chong had unexplainable doubts in his heart at this time. However, now is not the time to get to the bottom of it. He wanted to get ahead of the enemy and prepare for defense. "Who is the enemy general?"
He kept giving orders at the top of the city. After taking precautions, he called the spies and started questioning.
The spy looked frightened and looked a little embarrassed. He reported: "Returning to the general, I saw the flag of the enemy warship with the word "Thank you" on it."
"The person coming is most likely Xie Xuan, the general of Xia Army!"
"Xie Xuan?"
This is an old acquaintance! Huan Chong's expression changed slightly.
