Lu Meng!
As soon as Lu Bu had a thought in his mind, information about the other party emerged. This general with the same surname as him had raided Jingzhou in the history of the world and killed Guan Yu, one of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
However, the method was a bit cruel, which made Lu Bu feel a little unhappy.
.In any case, although Guan Yu was not his opponent, he was still the top general in the world. For such a general to be killed by a sneak attack instead of dying on the battlefield like a hero, it is really touching.
Of course, now in the world of China, the power of the top powerhouses belongs to themselves. Methods such as those in the source world that break alliances and raids may gain some advantages on the battlefield, but they are not a threat to the top powerhouses and will also lead to serious consequences. ....
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but it quickly dissipated.
At this time, both parties are currently serving in Daxia, and Lu Bu has just joined Daxia. Even if he is a little unhappy in his heart, he will not act like a fool and start a feud casually.
He is not good at hiding his attitude, but as long as he doesn't speak easily, he will communicate less with the other person if he doesn't want to make friends with him. Anyway, he still has Chen Gong by his side.
"Get off the boat!"
After seeing the people greeting them on the pier, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were the first to disembark.
Lu Meng also stepped forward immediately and greeted Lu Bu and Chen Gong with a few polite words.
While speaking, Lu Bu could feel that the other party's eyes were looking at him several times, containing emotions of curiosity and surprise.
This is a normal thing. Lu Meng is also a famous general in the Three Kingdoms era. He will definitely be curious about Lu Bu, the prince who once divided Xuzhou and the flying general Lu Bu who is regarded by everyone as the most powerful general in the world.
As for the surprise, I was probably surprised that Lu Bu was taken under Daxia's command in the first place.
"General Lu, you have been in Jiangxia for many days and you should have a clearer view of the situation in Jiangbei and Jiangling. Could you please explain to us the current situation..."
When Chen Gong followed the other party into the city, he did not forget to inquire for useful information. Lu Meng said: "Mr. Gongtai and General Lu are interested, and the general will take the order himself!"
He has a very good attitude and puts himself in the position of his subordinates. Lu Meng thinks that his ability to train troops and command the navy is not weak. In addition to having few achievements in history, his real ability is not weak, otherwise he would not be able to position himself. He was one of the four great governors of Soochow.
But in the world of China, the power and status of the top experts were too high. Lu Meng felt that he could not make up for the gap with his own abilities, so he looked at He Ruobi, Fu Youde, and Lu Bu, who looked indifferent and did not want to talk to him. Maintain the necessary respect.
Facing Chen Gong's inquiry, he even knew everything he knew.
Sitting in Jiangxia is not as peaceful as it seems. He has to keep the Yangtze River waterway open every day, and dispatch navy from time to time to secretly fight and test the small-scale warships on the opposite side.
He also needs to maintain the stability of Jiangxia, a city that was originally the capital of Xiang Chu, and eliminate all kinds of restlessness... It can be said that he will handle all important military and political affairs near Jiangxia.
This requires extremely high quality for a guard general, who must not only have the ability to command and train troops, but also have certain political abilities.
Lu Meng's political methods were average, but they were above the standard. After all, the four major governors of Soochow were all talented in both civil and military affairs. Under Sun Quan's persuasion, he read a lot and transformed.
It is also because of this that Lu Meng and Sun Quan stand very close, and he is the most loyal and obedient to Sun Quan among the four governors. If Wang Jing had killed Sun Quan back then, Lu Meng would never have chosen to join Daxia.
As for now, Sun Quan is living a good life enjoying wealth and honor in Jinling, and Lu Meng has also let go of the entanglements deep in his heart, and has completely integrated into the Daxia Dynasty...
"According to the spies' report, Feng Yi left Wang Chang to take charge of Hanchuan and left the Eastern Han Dynasty camp opposite. He may have returned to Xiangyang to take charge. If this news is true, Jiangling will be attacked by two sides from the northwest. The two of them will go west , be sure to be more careful!"
Lu Meng explained to the two the situation in Jiangxia and the Eastern Han camp opposite, and then talked about Jiangling and gave a reminder.
"Thank you, we will be careful!" Chen Gong thanked him.
After welcoming Lu Bu and others into the city and holding a banquet, Lu Meng had to leave temporarily. Jiangxia had a large jurisdiction at this time, reaching the border of Jiujiang in the east, Chibi Mountain in the west, and Chibi Mountain in the south. There is also a large territory to the north of Taiping Mountain.
With this kind of area, if you add some more, you can establish it as a province.
Such a huge area, before officials were dispatched to set up prefectures and counties, was completely controlled by the military. Lu Meng had to deal with so many things every day that he had no extra time to rest.
Of course, this is also a training and growth for him. Only if he has served as the chief general or chief officer of a region, with such qualifications, he can go a step further in the future and become the general manager of the camp, or in charge of military aircraft.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong did not stay in Jiangxia for too long. They rested for a day and continued their journey by boat the next day. When entering Linxiang and Yueyang areas.
They saw many soldiers of the Xia army landing in Jiangbei on boats and fighting with some enemy troops. The enemy troops were not wearing the military uniforms of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but were slightly white.
"These should be Huan Wen's soldiers and horses... The Eastern Jin Dynasty was still white, and the military uniforms were mainly white. Huan Wen also inherited this!" Chen Gong reacted immediately after seeing the situation in Jiangbei.
Huan Wen's Huan clan became a semi-independent and semi-dependent force after defecting to the Eastern Han Dynasty. With Feng Yi's support, they continued to lure the people on the south bank of the river, recruit young men, and expand the army aggressively.
At this time, Huan Wen had occupied Mianyang and the Qianjiang area near the Han River to the north. The terrain here was relatively complex, with dense river networks and crisscrossing hills, making it impossible for the army to deploy.
Due to the terrain, Huan Wen's troops were like fleas, constantly disrupting the sight of He Ruobi who was stationed in Yueyang. He Ruobi sent General Gan Ning to garrison in Honghu, and constantly mobilized the navy to cross the river to attack the military fortress built by Huan Wen in the north of the Yangtze River. .
In fact, with the troops He Ruobi currently has at his disposal, if he wants to be serious, he can command all his troops and go north with several of his generals. Huan Wen is definitely no match.
However, Huan Wen could not fight but could run away, and the terrain in the north of the Yangtze River was not conducive to the deployment of a large army. If he rashly crossed the river, it would be difficult for the soldiers and horses to gather after they dispersed, and they would be easily attacked by the Eastern Han Dynasty soldiers and horses.
Mianyang and Qianjiang are not important. As long as Xia Jun holds Honghu, no matter how much Huan Wen in Jiangbei jumps around, it will only be a scabies disease. Lu Bu was still a little confused at first. Xia Jun did not go northward in the face of provocation. After receiving Chen Gong's explanation, he suddenly realized. The five-toothed ship and other warships they rode on had all undergone special modifications.
high speed.
Without stopping in Yueyang, he crossed directly and entered the boundary of Jiangling. The closer he got to Jiangling, the more stable the two sides were, and there were no fightings.
Especially on the south bank of the river, a large number of people have begun to be busy in the paddy fields. No matter what the situation in Jiangling is, it is a relatively distant thing for ordinary people.
They must take advantage of the current situation to do farm work as much as possible so that they can have enough food during the harvest... First Jiujiang, then Jiangxia, and then Jiangling and Yiling.
Daxia's expansion along the way, in addition to the efforts of the elite military, also consumed an astronomical amount of food. Any place that has experienced war will definitely affect the surrounding areas and affect the harvest of food.
This will result in limited food and grass for the people, which cannot be consumed by the garrisoned army. In the short term, we can only rely on transportation from Jinling.
With such consumption, even Daxia, which has a rich family and can continuously draw grain reserves from several prosperous provinces such as Huaibei and Jiangdu, cannot supply it for a long time.
Therefore, in Jiangling, Jiangxia, Anqing, Jiujiang and other places, as long as there is time, the generals guarding these places will supervise the people to farm. Even in Jiujiang, where the situation is more stable, the original captured and defeated soldiers have been incorporated into military camps. To make up for the consumption of Daxia.
Stand on the boat.
Looking forward from a distance, you can see the majestic city walls of Jiangling and the busy scenes inside and outside the city. Even if the city is about to face a war, it is still prosperous.
Perhaps only when the enemy troops move south in large numbers will this city regain its original functions and become the capital of Jingchu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
The foundation of the earth to withstand the invasion of armies.
At this time, a speedboat rushed out from the Jiangling Water Gate and quickly approached the Wuya Ship. On the boat was a general wearing armor.
"General, General Fang Jie, this is urgent military information sent by General Manager Fu. I would like to ask the general to review it..." Ninth-level general Fang Jie personally acted as the messenger.
Lu Bu looked away from the other party. The other party's aura was not weak, and he seemed young. He could continue to grow in the future and have the opportunity to become a truly strong man.
So it attracted Lu Bu's attention.
But the military situation was still important at the moment. Lu Bu opened the letter, glanced at it, and then handed it to Chen Gong beside him.
"The soldiers and horses of the Shu army have entered the Three Gorges Waterway and are approaching Yiling. Manager Fu urges us to go to Yiling as soon as possible to take charge..." "In this case, we will not go to Jiangling and rush directly to Yiling!"
Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
Chen Gong had no objection. Lu Bu was currently granted the title of first-class marquis, and also had the positions of General Longxiang and General Manager of Yiling Camp, but his status in the Daxia army was even lower than that of Fu Youde.
Even if Lu Bu has the strength of the heavenly realm, he still has to show respect for Fu Youde, who has outstanding achievements and is vaguely the number one general under Wang Jing's command.
Fang Jie respectfully resigned after delivering the letter.
Lu Bu's troops also sped up. Yiling!
After the Great Xia Dynasty set up camp here, more than 200,000 elite soldiers were stationed here. With Yiling as the front line, a large number of fortresses and walls were built on both sides of the strait, and powerful forts were also set up according to the mountainous terrain. Magic circle.
The army of nearly 300,000 people could not all be hoarded in Yiling. Instead, they were fortified along a long snake, from Yiling to Yidu, along the river.
And if the Shu Han soldiers and horses arrive, they will definitely choose to set up a long snake formation, just like Liu Bei in the original world.
There is no way. The two sides from the Three Gorges to Yidu are narrow and the terrain is dangerous. It is not suitable for the formation of hundreds of thousands of troops. In the world of China, the expansion of the terrain will not change the fundamentals.
Perhaps the only difference between the Shu army and Liu Bei in history is that they learned their lesson and no longer chose to go ashore and set up camp in the mountains and forests.
On top of the city wall.
Fu Youde looked at the river in front, which was many times narrower than downstream, with fast currents, and at the peaks on both sides of the river in the distance. He kept thinking about the records of the Battle of Yiling in the history books.
After all, the Shu army came out of Sichuan to attack Jiangling. The situation was very similar to the historical Battle of Yiling.
Fu Youde was also considering whether to send a message to Jinling and ask His Majesty Lu Xun and Lu Kang and his son to transfer to Jiangling and Yiling to counsel the military aircraft.
"General, General Lu and the others are here!" The personal guard came to report at this time.
Fu Youde immediately came back to his senses. With a thought, he saw a large number of boats appearing on the water to the east of the city, including the five-toothed warship, the navy's weapon of war.
"Open the city gate, and I will greet you personally!" he said immediately.
As an important general of the Daxia Dynasty, Fu Youde will naturally not stay in Yiling for a long time. Once the general manager of the Yiling camp is in place, he will lead his troops back to Jiangling.
Only in Jiangling can he grasp the overall situation and control the entire battlefield.
When he came to Yiling, he originally thought that it was Lu Xun who came to take over as the general manager of the camp. After all, the most important battle in his life was here, and revisiting the old place would give him a better chance of winning.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was Lu Bu, who had just defected to the country...but Lu Bu could do it too.
After all, they were the supreme powerhouses who came after the heavenly change, and they were the enemies of the Shu Han brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Let Lu Bu deal with them. Even if the other side sent out two or three heavenly realm powerhouses, the Xia army would not be at a disadvantage.
Lu Bu and Chen Gong quickly entered the city.
Fu Youde also began to communicate with the two men and introduced them to the many generals in the Yiling camp. These generals included three ninth-level generals.
They are Tan Daoji, Wang Sengbian and Chen Yucheng.
All three of them have the appearance of generals. However, due to their merits and seniority, they cannot stand alone for the time being. In the camp, the general manager is Lu Bu, and there are two deputy general managers, namely Chen Gong and Tan Daoji.
Wang Sengbian and Chen Yucheng could only serve as camp generals and obey orders. "The general has met the steward!"
After Fu Youde's introduction, the three of them stepped forward and saluted Lu Bu. In the original world, they could sneer at Lu Bu and regard each other as a slave of the third surname and a loser.
But at this moment, they felt that Lu Bu's body was vaguely connected to heaven and earth, and his body seemed to contain the unparalleled aura of a ghost world. The three of them suppressed their original emotions deep in their hearts and saluted respectfully.
Even the proud Tan Daoji is no exception.
Lu Bu did not show any pretense, but smiled and lifted the three of them up. "Get up, we will all be brothers of Paoze from now on..." With unparalleled strength, Lu Bu took over the Yiling camp without any surprises. The various emotions of many generals had to be suppressed.
Fu Youde saw this scene and nodded slightly. He didn't care how Lu Bu conquered the many generals in the camp, as long as it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the camp and could block the enemy troops.
After handing over, he immediately took people to Jiangling. He has received the news from Jinling. His Majesty is planning to set up a governor's office in Jiangling as usual. He is the deputy governor of the governor's office. He will go to Jiangling first to take charge of the overall situation in Jingchu.
Although Xie Xuan has made great achievements this time, he is not qualified enough. At least He Ruobi will not easily follow Xie Xuan's instructions. Only Fu Youde can.
On the eighth day after Fu Youde left.
The forward of the Shu army finally reached the border of Yiling.
