"Send the order, immediately gather troops and horses, prepare warships..."
Wang Jing ordered that soldiers should be quick and he was ready to send troops immediately, so that Cao Wei could feel the feeling of being attacked.
Liu Bowen and Yu Yunwen did not hesitate and immediately took orders to prepare.
Since Daxia had already prepared, Xuzhou had gathered more than 100,000 elite soldiers at this time, and many generals who stayed behind were also mobilized. Just wait for the fighter planes to show up to break camp.
According to the original plan, Wang Jing planned to dispatch two groups of generals to attack again after Han Xin defeated Liu Xiu.
However, at this time, Cao Cao and his Tianjing generals did not return to Qingzhou as Wang Jing expected. Accordingly, Wang Jing did not need to dispatch two Tianjing generals to camp. Wang Jing gathered his troops in person, and no general dared to neglect him at all.
Soon, the general who was in Xuzhou at this time came.
They are the generals Yang Kan, Lu Kang, Yang Dayan, and the seven ninth-level generals Wen Yang, Feng Guoyong, Shi Dakai and Fang Jie.
When the Heavenly Realm warriors dominated the battlefield, the status of these ninth-level generals dropped a lot. Yang Kan, who could have led the troops on his own, could only stay at the rear during the war in the Central Plains.
He still has the ability to command two to three hundred thousand troops, but he can no longer become the leader of an army. Once you forcefully lead an army and encounter a heavenly general from another dynasty, you will be attacked by the other dynasty, and you will become the weak point of the army.
And this time Daxia’s target place has almost no Heaven Realm experts stationed there.
Even if one suddenly appears, Wang Jing will deal with it personally. They finally had a good opportunity to make great achievements again.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
After everyone gathered together, Wang Jing came striding forward in a suit of armor. When Wang Jing sat down on the main seat, they immediately knelt down and worshiped.
"All generals are free!"
After Wang Jing and others got up, without any nonsense, he directly asked people to hang up the topographic maps of the Central Plains and Qingqi.
"I believe you all know the reason why I stationed troops in Xuzhou. Now Cao Cao has taken the initiative to break the alliance and suddenly led his troops to attack the East Road camp in order to preemptively strike. However, the East Road camp has been prepared for a long time. Cao Cao's surprise attack is doomed to fail..."
"It's disrespectful to come and not return. Since Cao Cao took the initiative to attack our army, I am also prepared to retaliate in kind and personally lead the troops to attack Cao Wei's rear and defeat Qing Qi in one fell swoop!"
Wang Jing's eyes were like lightning and he said calmly.
Now the Ranwei and Ming armies in Hebei are killing each other. Even if they know that he is sending troops to Qingqi, it is difficult to send troops to participate. Cao Cao is entrusted to Xingyang. There is no Tianjing in the land of Qingqi. For Wang Jing, he can kill him with just one stab. The torn gauze has no defense capability.
"My court sent troops north to defeat the Han army and save Cao Cao's army from danger. Cao Cao tore up the alliance and took the initiative to attack our army. It can be said that a kindness will be repaid with revenge. Our court should lead the army to conquer..."
Yang Kan, who has the highest title and merits, was the first to agree, followed by others. In the eyes of ordinary people, Daxia's sending troops to the north did tie up Cao Wei, allowing them to preserve most of their strength during the Han army's attack. Without the Xia army going north, Li Tang and Cao Wei alone would not be able to suppress the Han army.
Cao Cao suddenly stabbed Han Xin in the back when he was attacking Xingyang, which can be described as treachery. If word spreads, his reputation will be greatly affected.
Others don't care about the deeper reasons. The world only looks at the surface.
Even if many knowledgeable people know that Cao Cao is worried that they will become the next target of Xia Jun and take action to protect themselves, they will subconsciously feel disgusted with Cao Cao.
The so-called "famous teacher" affects not only the morale of the military and the people, but also the reputation and prestige of the monarch. "For this march strategy, I intend to take the water route to Guide first, defeat Cao Jun's Dingtao camp and defeat its main force, and then follow the ancient Yellow River path down the river."
"In addition, I also ordered the Jinling Navy to sail northward with ships and attack Gaomi by sea. It will still be a two-pronged attack... Do you have any other suggestions?"
Wang Jing glanced at everyone.
Among the seven ninth-level generals, Lu Kang and Feng Guoyong were the most strategic, followed by Shi Dakai. The others were all leading generals and did not have much talent in strategy.
Therefore, Wang Jing’s eyes mainly focused on Lu Kang and Feng Guoyong.
.
Lu Kang inherited his father Lu Xun's military strategy and was also one of the top generals in the Martial Temple. However, because there were so many famous generals in Daxia, he had not yet demonstrated his abilities.
Feng Guoyong was Zhu Yuanzhang's mastermind in the early stages of his army. He was extremely resourceful and had great talent in leading troops.
Lu Kang felt the eyes on him and immediately said: "Your Majesty's strategy is a perfect combination of right and wrong. The general will have no objections."
Wang Jing withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since we don't have any objections, let's use this strategy to send troops, Lu Kang!"
"The general is here!"
"You lead the troops of your headquarters, serve as the commander of the navy, and command the navy's escort army!"
Lu Kang immediately bowed and accepted the order.
"Yang Kan..."
Wang Jing kept pointing out the generals and assigning tasks to them. After all the generals accepted their orders, he stood up with his sword in hand and ordered the army to move out.
The emperor personally led the troops, and no one dared to be careless.
The kind of behavior in history where the emperor personally led the expedition, but the officials behind the scenes dared to burn food and cut off the roads, there is no room for it here.
Although the Daxia Dynasty was completely united, most of the officials were willing to contribute to the expansion and growth of Daxia.
Wang Jing issued military orders one after another, and Xuzhou became extremely noisy.
Teams of elite soldiers rushed out of the military camp, and under the leadership of hundreds of households, thousands of households, and generals, boarded troop ships... a total of 130,000 elite soldiers.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses boarded the ship, and naturally they could not conceal their actions.
Inside Xuzhou City.
On a relatively remote street, an ordinary-looking man held two fishes in his hands and walked into one of the courtyards as usual. When he walked into the gate, he glanced around casually and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw nothing unusual. .
"How's the situation outside?"
Hearing the sound outside, a woman who quietly appeared at the door of the inner room not far away asked in a low voice. This woman's sleeves were relatively wide, and there was a small crossbow in her sleeves. From the outside, she was just an ordinary woman.
"The Xia Army has sent troops... hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are boarding the ship. The Xia Army has sent troops for no reason. There must be a big move! This news is very important and must be spread out immediately!"
A solemn look appeared on the man's face, and he said in a deep voice.
The woman was shocked when she heard this. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses was not a small number. It was indeed a big deal. She immediately entered the inner room...
At this time, the man's ears suddenly moved, as if he heard something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Don't wait for his reaction.
boom! The door shattered, and a dozen figures roared in. These figures cooperated tacitly. Even when they broke into the house, they cooperated with each other to cover the vital points of their companions.
"No, it's Daxia's vicious dog!"
The man showed a trace of fear and immediately flew up to escape.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, a net with a little spiritual light spread out in the air, wrapping him directly in it. After the net hit, a stream of electric current emerged, instantly electrifying and twisting the man's body.
boom! The man fell to the ground and couldn't help but scream.
The woman who had just entered the inner room to deliver the information according to the method almost turned into a gray shadow. The moment the man fell to the ground, she had already reached the wall not far away. As long as she ran into the street far away, she could Use the crowd to hide your figure.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of crossbow arrows roared from three directions, directly turning the gray shadow into a hornet's nest, with blood splattering everywhere.
After a while.
Two capable men in green clothes walked out of the house and reported: "Hundred households, these two spies haven't had time to spread the news yet..."
A smile appeared on the face of the man named Baihu, and he said with a smile: "Yes, we have captured and killed two Cao Jun spies. We have made a great contribution. We will treat you to a drink when we get back!"
These people are spies from the Daxia Military Intelligence Department.
Although the news of Daxia's dispatch of hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be completely concealed, with the help of people from the Military Intelligence Department, it can be blocked for at least a day or two.
When two armies are fighting, sometimes a stick of incense can be the key to victory or defeat, let alone a day or two.
Wow!
The water of the Yellow River is churning. The water of the Yellow River is not as turbid as it was in later generations of the source world, and the water surface looks quite clear.
One after another, the warships carried the elites of the Xia army upstream. These troopships were also modified by the Ministry of Industry of Daxia, and they could fly at extremely fast speeds even when the wind was against them. At this time, when the warship was speeding, there were waves of water behind it, making the warship, which was not too slow, even faster.
Wang Jing did not stay in the cabin, but stood on the deck of a huge ship.
He saw the warship ahead being pushed against the current by the waves.
"Lu Xun controls the wind, Lu Kang controls the water...the father and son control the warship's acceleration in somewhat different ways!"
Wang Jing thought of how when they first attacked Zhu Ming, Lu Xun and Xie Xuan raided the important areas south of Jinling and manipulated the wind to speed up the ship on the way.
Lu Kang's method of controlling the current was similar to Lu Meng's.
"Your Majesty, I have returned from Germany to report that Cao Cao's army in Dingtao is sending troops across the river to attack the northern ferry of Kao City... The people leading the troops are Cao Ren, the leader of Cao's army, and Gao Aocao, the general of Cao's army. Now Kao City has been captured."
Yu Yunwen came with a military report and looked a little solemn.
Wang Jing took the military newspaper and glanced at it, his expression unchanged. After marching on the east road to attack Bianliang and seize a large area of territory in the eastern part of the Central Plains, the importance of the place of return has dropped a lot.
The grain route used by the Xia army to transport grain and grass was still water, but even if Guide was lost, Daxia could still transport grain to the Central Plains through the Ying River, but the efficiency was not as high as the canal and the Yellow River.
In order to fully deal with Liu Xiu and the famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Han Xin only left Wei Rui in Bianliang and no important generals in Guide.
Without heavy generals to guard it, Guide Xia's army would naturally have difficulty blocking the main force of Cao's army.
The natural dangers of the Yellow River could not stop Cao Jun's advance.
"It doesn't matter. We're not afraid that Cao's army won't come. It's best if they all cross the river!"
Wang Jing said lightly.
The faster Cao's army crosses the river, the faster it will collapse when he leads his army to block the Yellow River and is isolated and helpless.
at the same time.
In Kaocheng, fire and thick smoke covered half of the city. Many Cao Jun soldiers patrolled the streets. The houses and residences on both sides of the streets were stained with a lot of blood, and many people fell everywhere. All the money on his body was confiscated.
Cao Ren was wearing black armor, riding a horse and headed to the government office in the city, surrounded by a group of generals.
Their eyes swept around, and when they saw the corpses of the people, it was as if they were seeing chickens, ducks, and grass, and they turned a blind eye.
"Send my military order to have the Chinese army cross the river quickly! Attack Shangqiu before the Xia army reacts!"
Cao Ren said in a deep voice.
Li Dian beside him was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his lips moved slightly, and he said through the voice: "General, Mr. If the navy is blocked, then our army will be in danger... In my opinion, we should stick to the original plan, our army only needs to disturb Xia Jun's line of sight and attract Xia Jun's attention for Your Majesty."
The main force of Cao's army in Dingtao shoulders the important task of guarding Qingqi's western defense line and cannot attack easily.
However, in order to relieve the pressure on Cao Cao, Cao Cao's army in Dingtao needed to cross the river to harass the Xia army and attract the attention of the Xia army in Bianliang and Guide. The emphasis was on harassment rather than an entire army crossing the river to attack.
Cao Ren glanced at Li Dian and also sent a message: "Our army is in a bad situation now. For the sake of the survival of our dynasty, Your Majesty did not hesitate to personally lead troops to attack the main force of the Xia army."
"It would be best if your majesty succeeds in the raid. If the raid fails, you will be trapped in Xingyang. The greater our momentum in Guide, the more Xia troops we will attract. This will reduce the pressure on the east for your majesty..."
"How can I not know the danger of the whole army crossing the river? But for your majesty, it is nothing to take some risks, not to mention... Xia army has no large army stationed nearby, how can it be our army's opponent with only the navy?" Cao Ren looked calmly, He was not carried away by the attack on Kao City.
Also, it's just a Kao city, and it's easy to capture it with the army. It's not a big victory at all. How can a general like Cao Ren be stunned.
He took the risk to cross the river quickly and attack Shangqiu. He had only one purpose, which was to contain the Xia army's troops east of Bianliang and reduce the pressure on Cao Cao.
Hearing this reason, Li Dian was speechless.
Two hours later.
After receiving Cao Ren's military order, the main force of Cao's army accelerated the crossing of the river. The ferries that were searched out and the ships that were captured at Kaocheng Ferry were all going back and forth on the Yellow River. While Cao's army continued to cross the river, Cao's army in Kaocheng attacked again after resting. This time their target was Ningling. As long as Ningling is captured, Shangqiu will be right in front of us.
North bank of the Yellow River, Cao County.
A group of cavalry came quickly and ran directly towards the camp.
"He who comes is stopped!"
Outside Cao Jun's camp, the sentries shouted and blocked the way of these cavalry.
Uh-huh! The leader took out his command talisman.
"I am the Minister, ordering Xun You to open the camp gate quickly!"
Xun You looked a little anxious at this time and was not as calm as usual. After the sentry opened the camp door, he immediately galloped into the camp and immediately summoned the generals in the camp.
"Where is General Cao Ren now? Why did he order the main force to cross the river?"
Inside the camp, Xun You shouted sharply.
