Chapter 605 Huarong Road
"Shiyang Hanyang Wuling and Jingling, either the city was easily broken or the wind was submerged, without any effort. In addition to obtaining Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, the Yangzhou Navy also obtained half of the country of Jingzhou Nanjun. The eight counties of Jingzhou already had two and a half of the Yangzhou Army. If the previous Nanyang County was added, it would be three and a half of the territory of Jingzhou, almost half of the territory of Jingzhou.
The whole situation seems to be very good, but only Lu Xun knows the hardships.
"What's wrong with General Lu? His face is not good? But he is not suitable for the environment?" Huo Jun and others were able to enter Jingling. Jingling City had already surrendered. Yangzhou Army issued another notice of Anmin, so Jingling City was considered to be in peace.
On the original prefect's mansion in Jingling City, it became Lu Xun's convention hall.
Lu Xun was looking at the map with a frown.
The question of whether the local environment is not suitable for the local environment is not big or small, because many generals once suffered from the local environment, eventually leading to non-combat deaths, and even leading to the failure of a war, destroying the country or destroying their families, so Huo Jun was particularly concerned.
"Haha, I have lived in Jingchu for so long. If I were not adapted to the local conditions, I would have been unacceptable to the local conditions. How could the people in Jingchu be unacceptable to the local conditions? If you let Lu Xun go to the north, it would be possible that they would not adapt to the local conditions.
"Then general, are you?" Huo Jun didn't understand a little, because Lu Xun's ugly expression could be seen by everyone.
"Oh! This was caused by not sleeping all night last night!" Lu Xun looked at Tongjing, and then realized the haggardness on his face.
"The general hasn't been sleeping all night?" Huo Jun said in confusion.
"Yes!" Lu Xun nodded, "Zhong Miao, come and see!" Lu Xun took out the map and pointed to Huo Jun, pointing to the direction above the map.
"Jiangling?" Huo Jun saw a place marked by Lu Xun.
"That's right! It's Jiangling!" Lu Xun nodded, "Zhong Miao, do you know why we gave up Jiangdong and sent troops to Jingzhou!"
"In order to concentrate our efforts to defeat Jingzhou and take Jingzhou!" Huo Jun replied that the Yangzhou navy now has a total of 40,000 people. Once separated, there will be only 20,000 on one side. Therefore, we must concentrate our strength to attack one side.
"Zhong Miao, you are only half right!" Lu Xun said to Huo Jun. "It is true that we are attacking one side in order to concentrate our strength. But we don't attack Jiangdong but choose Jingzhou because Jingzhou is much richer than Jiangdong!"
"Aren't we so powerful now? If we break Shiyang Hanyang Wuling, what kind of hatred does the general have?" Huo Jun didn't understand even more. They are in a time of high morale now.
"Haha, the ten Shiyangs and Hanyangs combined are not as good as a city!" Lu Xun clicked the place on the map again. That was Jiangling.
"Although our army is strong now, Jingzhou has a high foundation after all. If he is given a year or two, a Jingzhou navy may soon emerge on the Yangtze River!"
"What can I do if I appear again? Isn't I going to lose to our new warship!" said the captain next to me. His words were recognized by many naval soldiers, and the new warships of the Yangzhou naval army. It was against the current tower ships, and there was no problem with one or five, so Huo Jun and others were envious of the fact that they could get such warships when they were on it.
"Haha, although that's the case, Liu Biao's navy must take the initiative. What if the Jingzhou navy turtle hiding in the port and not coming out?" Once the Jingzhou navy turtle hiding in the navy camp, the new warships of the Yangzhou navy will not be of much use. After all, you have to take the battle on the sidelines. In the end, this is a war of attrition. Although Yangzhou is now powerful, it cannot consume Jingzhou. Even if it consumes Yangzhou, it will be abolished.
"We are now trying to destroy the foundation of Jingzhou so that they no longer have huge potential. They can consume more than us. They can build hundreds of warships. And we can't do such a deal if we fight one less! And the one who eliminates the foundation of the enemy is to break this place, Jiangling! Jiangling is the most prosperous place in Jingzhou Nanjun, and is also the capital of Jingzhou. Not to mention that there is a population of 100,000, but also has sufficient food and grass and money. According to incomplete statistics, the inventory of Jiangling City can form a 100,000-scale military horse city that can supply these 100,000 troops for two years."
"One hundred thousand soldiers will be eaten for two years?" Huo Jun gasped. He always knew that his former boss Liu Biao was very rich, but he did not expect that he would be rich to this extent. Jiangling was just a servant, and could form an army of 100,000. If he had formed a 300,000 naval army in Xiangyang's mansion?
"So we must take down Jiangling and get the strength of Jiangling and Yangzhou army further consolidated. Another thing is to destroy the foundation of Jingzhou, so that they can rest and support the huge fleet even if they prepare for three or five years! In this way, Jingzhou will become a lamb to be slaughtered!"
"Then you should send troops to Jiangling immediately! What's the use of being frowning here!" Huo Jun was originally a calm person. He usually acted step by step, but now Lu Xun said this and wanted to take Jiangling.
"Jiangling is so broken, but this road is difficult to walk!" Lu Xun shook his head helplessly. If he could attack immediately, Huo Jun would have to say that Lu Xun had sent troops long ago, but now the troops are easy to send, but this road is not good. There is a very famous place in front of Jiangling, which is called Huarong Road. This is a huge swamp after another. If no one guides you, then congratulations on your swamp, this swamp will become your place to bury monks.
Even people who have lived here for decades can only find out one or two or a few miles. Others don’t know it at all.
If you can't pass Huarong Road, you will naturally not be able to hit Jiangling. There is a divine punishment in front of Jiangling. This is what Lu Xun is worried about.
"Swamp? Let me go and see!" Huo Jun wanted to see clearly what the Huarong Road was like, so he quickly took hundreds of soldiers to Huarong Road. In just half a day, Huo Jun came back soon. This time, Huo Jun was in a mess. Only a few dozen people came back. After asking the reason, it turned out that almost a hundred other people could not come back. They were annexed by the terrifying swamp. In just a blink of an eye, Huo Jun would have fallen into it. If Huo Jun had not reacted in time and his force, he would have fallen into it.
"General, the last general is ashamed of the general!" Huo Jun's face was blushing. When did Huo Jun suffer such a big loss?
"Oh, I don't blame Zhong Miao for saying this!" Lu Xun shook his head helplessly. Could it be that Huarongdao really can't get through it!
"Report! Report to the general, there is a white-clothed scholar outside the door asking for advice!" (To be continued...)
