The two brothers Huan Wen and Huan Chong were from the same era as Xie An and Xie Xuan. When Huan Wen was alive, he suppressed Xie An and could only live in seclusion in Dongshan. He took charge of Jingzhou and made three Northern Expeditions. His majesty was unparalleled.
In the interim, he also thought about giving the Sima family the Zen throne to him and replacing the Eastern Jin Dynasty to become independent.
In other words, Huan Wen had died earlier. If he had died a year or two later, he would have been a bankrupt version of Liu Yu, and even worse than Liu Yu. He could still be in charge of the overall situation during his lifetime, but once he died, the entire Huan family would immediately collapse. will be overturned.
Historically, after Huan Wen's death, it was Huan Chong who took over the power of the Huan family. He assessed the situation and knew that the Huan family was already a bit of a target, so he took the initiative to go out and give the power to Xie An.
Later, in the Battle of Feishui, he and Xie Xuan jointly defended the enemy in the east and west. Xie Xuan faced Fu Jian's main force, and Huan Chong faced the former Qin soldiers and horses who were also not weak. There is also Huan Yi, the famous general of the Huan family, who was also an important general in the Battle of Feishui.
The Huan family had mainstays like Huan Wen and Huan Chong, as well as famous generals like Huan Yi. The entire clan could compete with the Xie family in the original history.
Among them, Huan Yi is the one who plays Plum Blossom Three Nongs and the master of Ke Ting Flute. He is an elegant man, but he also has a lot of military skills. He can be said to be both civil and military. Although his reputation and ability may be a little worse than Xie Xuan's, he is definitely a ninth-level player. general.
Huan Chong can fight with Xie An, so he is naturally a ninth-level being.
After the Huan clan occupied Jiangling and expanded to all directions, Huan Chong was placed in public security by Huan Wen to guard the first line of defense outside Jiangling.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period in the original world, Guan Yu guarded Jiangling and handed over the public security to Shiren, who had been following Liu Bei since Youzhou. Only the most trusted confidants can guard the public security.
Moreover, Huan Wen absorbed the lessons of history. The generals in important towns in various places were all Huan clan members. The only exception was General Wang Jun who was in charge of the army in Linxiang to defend against the Xia army and the Eastern Han Dynasty...
"How many troops does Xie Xuan bring?"
Huan Chong asked the spy again. At this time, he had suppressed the tumbling emotions in his heart. Xie Xuan was an acquaintance, but now he was his enemy and an opponent who must be eliminated.
If Xie Xuan was the only strong man among the Xia army, he would be confident to block it. But if there were several strong men among the Xia army, then he would be unable to defeat four people with just two fists, and Jiang Ling must be given support as soon as possible.
"About 50,000 to 60,000, Xia army has hundreds of warships, they are very powerful!" the spy replied.
"Five to sixty thousand troops... Under normal circumstances, these troops cannot pose a threat to Jiangling. In this case, the troops led by Xie Xuan are likely to be the elite of the Xia Lord and the Beifu Army! Even There are other elites!"
Huan Chong's expression became extremely solemn.
As the largest dynasty in the south, Daxia's deeds have long been spread throughout the world, even to the Mongolian and Yuan Empire in the grasslands.
Any dynastic force that aspires to the world, or famous ministers and generals who want to make contributions to the world, are very sensitive to the general trend of the world, and use every means to collect information from all over the world. Only in this way can we know the world affairs without leaving home.
Many spies were sent to Meng Yuan, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away in the north, and Huanwen, who was relatively close to Jiangling, in the south.
In addition to collecting information related to Wang Jing, the wars and battles experienced by famous ministers and generals under Daxia are also the focus of intelligence collection.
Huan Chong remembered that when the Xia army went south to confront Zhu Ming, he asked Xie Xuan to lead tens of thousands of Beifu troops to penetrate the Ming army's rear areas with surprise troops, which directly caused the Ming army, which was still confronting the Xia army, to retreat.
In the end, Zhu Ming's elite, who was famous for a while and even more famous in history, was finally surrounded and killed by the Xia army during the retreat.
This moment is just like that moment.
Back then, Xie Xuan led a strange force to attack Zhu Ming's key points, but now, the same Xie Xuan led hundreds of warships like divine soldiers descending from the sky, appearing on the surface of the river not far from the public security bureau.
Huan Chong was under great pressure because if he was not careful, Huan would follow Zhu Ming's footsteps.
Don’t be afraid of old-fashioned strategies, just be easy to use.
Daxia's strategy of attacking Jiangling was actually no different from the original attack on the Ming army. Under the strong threat of the Xia army, the Huan army
, including Huan Chong, could only use troops to cover up the water and earth, and could not use any clever strategies.
"Send another team to Jiangling for help!"
"The Xia army came with bad intentions. The police only have 80,000 troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold them!"
Huan Chong once again called a confidant and asked him to go to Jiangling across the river as quickly as possible. In fact, the distance between Jiangling and Gong'an is not that far, but the two big cities are separated by the Yangtze River, which is blocked by natural barriers. If a navy cuts across the river, it can block the river and cut off the connection between the two cities.
That's why Huan Chong was extremely eager to ask for help. If Jiangling was slow to respond, he would be cut off from the enemy. If he wanted to send reinforcements, he would have to defeat Xia's navy warships first...
The main force of Huan Wen's navy is now hoarded in Linxiang, and only half of the force is left near Jiangling. Facing the elite Xia army, anyone with a discerning mind will feel unsure.
The confidants immediately took the order and took a fast boat to Jiangling. Half an hour later.
Hundreds of warships cut through the water at extremely fast speeds, splashing waves, and appeared in the sight of the public security guards like arrows from a string.
Each of these Xia army warships has been specially modified to accommodate hundreds of soldiers. Hundreds of warships can easily carry an army of fifty to sixty thousand.
Among the armies commanded by Xie Xuan, the Beifu Army is an all-round force.
Whether it is water warfare or infantry warfare, siege or cavalry, they are all first-class, but they are not top-notch either.
White-ear elite soldiers focus on infantry defense and cavalry warfare. The trapped camp is best at fighting head-on with military formations when two armies face off. These two arms are not very proficient in water warfare.
However, these two arms are not used for water battles.
Xie Xuan looked far ahead. A city in the distance was emerging in the mist beside the water. This city guarded the river. If Xia Jun wanted to capture Jiangling, he had to capture this place first.
Huan Wen's other territories can be bypassed, but not here. "Huan Chong..."
Xie Xuan had already known the news about the general who was guarding the city before he sent troops, and his mind was as calm as water. Not to mention Huan Chong, even Huan Yi, who had a good relationship with Xie, would not show mercy on the battlefield.
"General Han, General Shi, and General Fang, there are generals guarding the public security city. Our army must attack the city as quickly as possible. When the troops and horses are ready, we will attack together. Don't give the enemy any chance!"
Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.
Han Qinhu, Shi Dakai, and Fang Jie all responded solemnly. As for Gao Shun and his trapped camp, he did not need to take action. His mission was to block the public security traffic arteries after landing and leave a backup.
Four ninth-level powerhouses took action together, including top generals like Xie Xuan and Han Qinhu. The fate of Public Security City was already doomed at this moment.
Jiangxia!
The weather has been very good these days, the weather is sunny, and the river brings a breeze with light steam, which makes the face feel moist. At this time, winter has passed and it is early spring.
The originally withered ground turned green again, and a large number of people outside the city were organized into Baojia. Under the leadership of Baojiang and Jia, they reclaimed land and planted rice to prepare for the new year's food supply.
Along the river, there are still a large number of defeated soldiers from the original Xiang Chu who have been used as hard labor and are building water forts and military camps.
The entire Jiangxia exudes vitality, mixed with awe-inspiring chills.
The original Anqing camp had been renamed Jiangxia camp. He Ruobi, the general manager of the camp, was also in charge of military affairs. He made many moves. The Han army on the opposite side and the Huan army in Linxiang upstream all sent a large number of spies to pay close attention to He Ruobi's movements. .
He Ruobi's frequent movements meant that Xia Jun was about to make a big move.
As for Xia Jun's big operation, the target was either the Eastern Han Dynasty or Huan Wen. There is no need to guess at this point.
As time passed, a series of military camps and water forts had been built and flags were flying. At this time, the spies of the Han Army and the Huan Army also worked hard to find out an important news from Jiangxia.
Daxia's actions against Cao Wei in Xuzhou were just to deceive others. The real goal of Xia's army was to travel upstream and attack Jiangling.
Among them, the soldiers that the Xia army has mobilized in Jinling, with Fu Youde as the chief general, will soon arrive.
Go to Jiangxia...
After receiving this news.
The Eastern Han Army and the Huan Army were greatly shocked. Both Feng Yi and the general stationed in Linxiang, Wang Jun, felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They also began to organize their troops and horses, take strict precautions, and spread the news as quickly as possible. Spread to Xiangyang and Jiangling.
"Both the Han army and the Huan army have begun to build forts and prepare for the war?" He Ruobi looked relaxed and asked casually.
At this time, the generals Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhang Hao, and Yang Dayan were all in the main hall of the city, discussing military affairs with the generals. As for Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing, who had come to support not long ago, these two fierce generals temporarily returned to Jinling to resume their duties.
Prepare to wait for the main force of Xia Army to set off before coming with Fu Youde.
Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing both have the potential of the Heaven Realm, and their personalities are relatively pure, and they are more valued by Wang Jing. This time they returned, mainly for promotion and transfer. From this point, we can see that Wang Jing has great regard for them. Pay attention to.
The few remaining generals didn't have many opinions. After all, the camp was about to face a war, and they would have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds by following He Ruobi.
Lu Meng said: "After the general released the news, Feng Yi and Wang Jun began to mobilize their troops, and their attention was focused on us... However, in this way, when our army sends out troops, The enemy's defenses are stronger..."
He had some objections to He Ruobi's deliberate release of important military information, especially since this military information was true.
Yang Dayan, Gan Ning, and Zhang Hao did not speak, but it could be seen from their expressions that they were also a little confused.
He Ruobi smiled and asked: "Let me ask you, Your Majesty ordered Fu Youde to command hundreds of thousands of troops to march westward. Can the movements of hundreds of thousands of troops be concealed from the spies of the Han Army and the Huan Army?"
"This...hundreds of thousands of troops are marching with such mighty momentum that I can't hide it!" Lu Meng paused and replied.
"Since they can't hide it, Feng Yi and Wang Jun will know once the army sets off. With their abilities, they will definitely be ready to fight before the main army arrives. Knowing the news in advance is just a complete preparation. .....Their strength remains unchanged and they are better prepared, but they only cause our army a little more trouble!"
"It is this important and true military information that can attract the attention of both parties and make them relax their focus on Jiangling!"
"You think, if Jiangling is lost, will Wang Jun still be able to sit safely in Linxiang?" A sneer appeared on He Ruobi's lips.
Lu Meng, Gan Ning and others looked at each other and understood what He Ruobi meant.
The Huan Army's navy and infantry commanded by Wang Jun are their targets. As for Feng Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as the Xia Army's navy maintains its combat effectiveness, it can cut off the water surface, leaving Feng Yi sighing across the river and unable to intervene in the south. Fight.
Wang Jun was a famous general in the Western Jin Dynasty. Someone once wrote a poem to praise him. When Wang Jun landed in Yizhou on a boat, the king of Jinling was dejected. Qianxun's iron chain sank to the bottom of the river, and a flag fell out of the stone.
The general who personally invaded Jiankang and destroyed Soochow was actually Wang Jun. He is also a famous martial arts general under Du Yu and Yang Hu.
In terms of his ability to command the navy alone, Wang Jun is no worse than He Ruobi.
It is not that easy for He Ruobi to attack Linxiang under the threat of Feng Yiruoyouruowu from the north.
However, if something goes wrong in Jiangling, no matter how powerful Wang Jun is, he will not be able to prevent the morale of his soldiers from collapsing.
At that time, He Ruobi will take this opportunity to lead his army to attack, and he will surely be able to defeat them in one go.
He Ruobi's real idea was to capture Linxiang and destroy the main force of Huan Wen's navy before Fu Youde's army arrived. Only in this way could he achieve great success.
The key to defeating the enemy before Fu Youde lies in whether Xie Xuan can capture Jiangling...
Deliberately releasing military information was to provide cover for Xie Xuan.
Lu Meng, Yang Dayan and others also understood what he meant at this time, "We understand what the chief manager means. We will make preparations now. As soon as the news from Jiangling arrives, we will act immediately!"
No one is willing to let go of the opportunity to make great achievements.
What's more, He Ruobi's methods did not cause actual losses to Xia Jun, which made Lu Meng and others feel no burden.
He Ruobi nodded and asked the generals to go down and do their work.
He came to the door of the main hall and looked to the west, "Xie Xuan, I hope you won't waste this opportunity and capture Jiangling like you captured Gaochun last time!"
He Ruobi still has a lot of confidence in Xie Xuan.
After all, Xie Xuan had already led the Beifu Army in a similar operation last time, and this time Xie Xuan was accompanied by several famous generals including Han Qinhu, Shi Dakai, Fang Jie, and Gao Shun.
He was not very familiar with Shi Dakai and Fang Jie, and Gao Shun had only heard their names.
But He Ruobi knew Han Qinhu very well. The more opponents they were, the deeper they understood each other.
In history, Han Qinhu was able to use 500 elite troops to pass through Nanchen's heavy defense line to seize the Jiankang City Gate, and capture Chen Empress and his concubines alive, which is enough to prove his boldness, astonishing courage, and ability. The best battlefield sense.
This attack on Jiangling was similar to his attack on Jiankang with a small number of elite troops.
He and Xie Xuan both have similar experiences, and they are both top players in history. If they miss, He Ruobi will never believe it.
at the same time.
The public security city wall was filled with flames, and a large number of Huan Army guards screamed and fell to the ground. Many soldiers were knocked away and fell from the city wall.
Huan Chong was besieged by four ninth-level experts. He was covered in blood and could no longer hold on. Boom!
The city gate was broken through, and the public security city suddenly opened up.
