Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

In April 197, Liu Ye personally led an army of 50,000 and crossed north to merge the state. This task was completed by the newly formed court navy.

"Bo'an, how is the navy formed?" Liu Ye asked Gao Chong beside him, standing on the boat.

Gao Chong replied: "Now my navy has 20 warships, more than a hundred boats, and the number of navy is more than 4,000. It won't be a problem if we move across the Yangtze River over time."

Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, Bo'an, you have to keep working hard. A certain will continue to recruit people who are good at water warfare from the army. In the future, when our army goes south to drink the Yangtze River, your navy will have to talk less. There are more than ten thousand people."

Gao Chong was naturally delighted when he heard this. As a navy captain, the number of navy officers is naturally the better.

"Captain, our army is about to dock."

When a boat drifted over, the soldiers on the boat shouted.

Gao Chong responded: "I see, ready to dock!"

More than one hundred joint fleets composed of sterns and walking boats leaned slowly towards the opposite bank. The carrying capacity was not enough to transport 50,000 soldiers in one go. It was divided into three times to transport all 50,000 soldiers to the river. Opposite shore.

But as soon as he got off the shore, Liu Ye got bad news.

Xu Huang, acting as the vanguard, said with a gloomy face: "General, this time the Jizhou army is deploying defense at Xingkou, and it may be difficult for our army to break through for a while."

"Xingxingkou?" Guo Jiaruo thought: "Xingxingkou is the key to Bingzhou. Once the Jizhou army blocks Xingxingkou, our army will have to pay a heavy price for a forced breakthrough."

The topography of Xingxingkou is complicated, and there are many corridors in it, but the final exit is fixed. In other words, the Liangzhou army will eventually come out of a certain caliber when entering it, while the Jizhou army only needs to wait for work. .

When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Han Xin led his troops to conquer the State of Zhao, and Li Zuoche, the Guangwu Lord of the State of Zhao, advised the coach Chen Yu to lead his army to block the entrance to the Han army. But Chen Yu relied on his army of 200,000, and there was no need to fear Han Xin, so he finally advocated a decisive battle with Han Xin.

On the other hand, Han Xin led the Qingqi of the Han army to fight back. As a result, the 200,000 Zhao army was defeated. After Han Xin heard of Li Zuoche's strategy, he immediately regarded him as a guest of honor. Even Han Xin, who is known as the soldier immortal, praised Li Zuoche's strategy so much, which shows that Li Zuoche's strategy is indeed a stereotype.

Liu Ye frowned: "Who is the enemy who blocked the Xingkou?"

"The main general is Wen Chou, and the deputy general is Yu Yi."

"Wen Chou, Qu Yi?" Liu Ye pondered for a while, and said: "I heard that Wen Chou and Yan Liang are side by side, but Yuan Shao's fierce generals, and Qu Yi led the death guard to defeat Bai Ma Yi Cong. It seems that he wants to break through this time. Xingkou is a difficult task."

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded and said: "Xingxingkou is a strategically important place. It is difficult for our army to force a breakthrough. I'm afraid we need to find another way."

"But Xingxingkou is the shortest way for our army to break through Bingzhou. If we don't go Xingxingkou, our army can only borrow the Black Mountain." Xu Huang frowned, "Will Zhang Yan agree?"

Liu Ye and Zhang Yan can be regarded as a pair of enemies. The grievances between the two began during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Later, they fought fiercely many times and asked Zhang Yan to make concessions to the Liangzhou Army. It was really...

"No matter what, I should try." Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you will arrange this matter."

Jia Xu nodded calmly: "No, the general is at ease."

...

"What? Liu Ye wants to borrow from my Black Mountain?"

Zhang Yan sat on the main seat with a grin, and said with a sneer.

"Haha, Zhang Ping can't say exactly what Zhang Ping said." The envoy sent by Jia Xu said with a gratifying smile: "The general wants to go north to rescue Bingzhou. I hope that Zhang Pingnan will be able to make it easier. Then the general will be grateful. "

Zhang Yan pretended to be puzzled: "But there are many ways for the general to go north to Bingzhou, why does he have to visit Montenegro?"

"The general is afraid that he will not go north to rescue Bingzhou, but will kill the Guo by false roads?" Zhang Yan sneered: "I am afraid that this commander borrowed this road, and I will no longer exist in Montenegro, right?"

The messenger sweated coldly and smirked: "Where did Zhang Pingnan say this? The general has promised that as long as Zhang Pingnan is willing to give up a path, the court will not hesitate to grant rewards, and Zhang Pingnan does not need to mobilize the army, just Giving way is enough."

Zhang Yan stood up and sneered: "Forget it, isn't the general's supernatural powers all the time? This handsome is still worried that the general has another plan, or ask the messenger to report back to the general."

"Zhang Ping is difficult! Please consider it again!"

"See off!" Zhang Yan said coldly.

The Black Mountain Sergeant stood up, walked over to the messenger, and stretched out his hand: "Messenger, please."

The messenger sighed and wanted to persuade Zhang Yan, but he was directly led by the Black Mountain sergeant. After the messenger retreated, Zhang Yan's expression was completely cold.

"Huh! Liu Ye really deceived people too much." Zhang Yan said coldly: "He fought with me in Montenegro before. I don't know how many soldiers died and injured. This time he actually wants to borrow from me in Montenegro?"

Yang Feng cautiously said: "But the commander, if our army doesn't lend to Liu Ye, what if Liu Yuqing becomes angry and attacks me in Montenegro?"

"Then fight him!"

Zhang Yan smiled: "Yang Feng, do you know why Liu Ye bowed to his knees this time and came to borrow from me in Black Mountain?"

Yang Feng shook his head: "The subordinates don't know, what opinion does the commander have?"

Zhang Yan sneered coldly: "Yuan Shao attacked Binzhou, so Liu Ye had to bring troops to help, but now the Jizhou army has controlled the Xingkou, so Liu Yuqing had to borrow from our army."

"Oh, this is a good thing." Yang Feng said excitedly: "If Yuan Shao can occupy Bingzhou, then he will completely occupy Hebei, he will be able to divide and rule Liu Yuqing, and even threaten Liu Ye, our army will be relaxed."

Zhang Yan nodded: "Yes, not only that, not only can our army not be able to lend the road to Liu Ye, but it will also send troops to block it."

Yang Feng was startled when he heard this: "But the commander, the Liangzhou Army has always been invincible. If our army sends troops to block Montenegro, what will Liu Ye do if he attacks us?"

Liu Ye was aggressive this time and came with an army of 50,000. Although the Black Mountain thief had a lot of troops, but the equipment was backward, the morale was low, and he wanted to compete with the elite Liangzhou army, that was undoubtedly a foolish dream.

Zhang Yan smiled coldly after hearing the words: "Don't worry Yang Feng, Liu Ye's main purpose of going north this time is to rescue Bingzhou. Time is of the essence. It is absolutely impossible for him to waste time fighting against our army."

Yang Feng saw Zhang Yan looking like he was determined to win, so he had to hold back when he had any opinions.
