Zheng Du laughed!

He said softly: "General, you will only be grateful to me and not blame me.

Public Protector, can't you see? In your heart, your Majesty is still a little wary of the general. Otherwise, in this battle of Jiangdong, your Majesty does not need to take charge of the battle personally. He only needs to order the general to supervise the battle.

His Majesty chose to lead the expedition in person, which shows that he is also in a dilemma.

In less than three days, there will be an edict: order the general to go north.

Presumably, this is also the result that the general hopes for... If you stay in Chang'an, sooner or later there will be trouble."

Zhang Ren couldn't help but be silent after hearing this.

As Zheng Du expected, the very next day, Cao Zhang issued an edict to appoint Cao Peng as the King of Lingwu and to supervise the war in Lingzhou. He immediately took up the post.

As soon as the edict was issued, it immediately aroused controversy.

You know, since Cao Zhang ascended the throne, no one has been crowned king.

Now Cao Peng is the first person to be crowned king, and he is also a prince who commands the army, which is naturally thought-provoking.

But for Cao Peng, this result is undoubtedly the best.

After receiving the edict, Cao Peng immediately began preparations.

It was at this time that the Battle of Sanjiangkou finally broke out.

Both sides used nearly five thousand boats to seal off the entire water surface. Ma Da commanded the Jiangdong navy and tried to capture the Sanjiangkou. Once the Sanjiangkou was occupied, the Jiangdong navy could go straight into Jingnan and threaten Cao's rear. At the same time,

, the navy had the upper hand and could rely on the great river and natural chasm to fight off Cao's army.

It can be said that both sides have been preparing for this war for a long time.

Since Gan Ning Du Ji took over the navy, he has been practicing day and night, and what he did today is what he did today.

In terms of military strength, both sides are comparable.

There were 30,000 Jiangdong naval forces and more than 40,000 Cao Wei naval forces. Before the war began, both sides were prepared for a bloody battle. On the tenth day of August in the second year of Taiping, the two sides launched a desperate fight on the river.

At the beginning of the war, the Soochow Navy had the upper hand.

However, starting from the second day, one hundred and eighty Jian'an-class keel tower ships came out of Dongting Lake and joined the battle group, suddenly changing the situation of the battle. On the third day and the fourth day... Soochow Navy's attack on Cao Wei's tower ships

Under the impact, coupled with the rampage of the Eight Ox Crossbows equipped on the building ships, they gradually fell into the disadvantage. One after another, the sterns were cut off in the middle, and the warships were bombarded by the Eight Ox Crossbows. The whole river was filled with shouts of killing, and everywhere

The wreckage of the boat floats.

As the Soochow Navy retreated steadily, Ma Da tried to withdraw his troops and stabilize his position.

Something unexpected happened at this moment...

More than ten Jiangdong warships suddenly switched sides and launched an attack on the Soochow navy. The commander of these more than ten warships was named Lu Fei. He was originally a private soldier of the Lu family, but was later sent into the water by the Lu family.

The army has been working diligently for many years. Lu Fei's defection before the battle had an immeasurable impact on the Jiangdong navy.

In an instant, the Soochow navy was in complete chaos...

Gan Ning saw this situation and immediately ordered a fierce attack.

He personally met with Lu Fei and learned from Lu Fei that Cao Peng and Lu Xun had been in contact for many years... On the eve of the outbreak of the Sanjiangkou War, Lu Xun sent someone to tell Lu Fei that depending on the situation of the battle, he would either fight or surrender.

!

When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

He said to Du Ji in private: We are looking at ten steps, and your Majesty is looking at ten miles away... But today we know that the young master is already looking at a thousand miles away!

In mid-August of the second year of Taiping, the Jiangdong Navy was at Sanjiangkou and was completely wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xun, the governor of Guiyang, suddenly took action and declared his surrender to Cao Wei. He listed Sun Quan's ten major crimes, raised troops to rebel, and conquered Xiangxiang. After hearing the news, Taishi Ci, who was supervising the battle on the Boluo River, couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

That night, Sun Shao crossed the Poluo River alone and entered the Dongwu military camp, saying that he would surrender to Tai Shici.

After careful consideration, Taishi Ci finally decided to start an uprising. He returned to Linxiang overnight and killed Xu Sheng who was supervising the battle. Then he joined forces with Lu Xun, left Changsha, and attacked Luling. Three days later, Luling fell.

The navy in Jiangdong was defeated, and Taishi Ci Luxun rebelled!

The whole of Soochow suddenly became panicked...

Cao Zhang took the opportunity to issue an edict and ordered his army to attack from Jiangxia and launch a fierce attack on Soochow.

At this time, the situation in Soochow was over.

However, Sun Quan was not willing to be defeated. Instead, he concentrated his forces and prepared for a decisive battle with Cao Zhang...

In October, twenty huge high-end ships appeared on the coast of Wujun.

Gu Yong, a powerful man in Wuxian County, took advantage of the situation and raised troops, announced his break with Sun Quan, and welcomed Cao Wei's army to land.

In November, He Qi of Kuaiji County raised troops in Shanyin to welcome the son of King Heng back to his hometown. Kuaiji County was in chaos.

The entire Jiangdong seems to have become uncontrollable in just a few months.

After Pound captured Dantu, he sent his army south to capture Qu'a.

Sun Quan was really panicked this time!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the blink of an eye, it’s already December.

Cao Peng has arrived in Lingzhou and summoned fifty soldiers and horses in Xincheng County to look at Xianbei.

Kebineng quickly sent people to sue for peace, but Cao Peng refused. In November, the two sides fought a bloody battle at Langjuxu Mountain. Cao Peng took two veteran generals Huang Zhongyanyan as the vanguard and ordered Shamo to

Ke and Zhao Yuyun were the two main generals on the left and right. They fought from the morning when the sun rose to nightfall...

The Xianbei people could not withstand Cao's army's offensive and were finally defeated and fled.

Cao Peng took advantage of the situation and ordered Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to pursue and capture the Xianbei royal court. Ke Bineng fled in embarrassment and fled to Dingling for help.

At the same time, the Hujie people did not dare to be lonely and joined forces with the Mobei Xiongnu to rescue Kebineng. However, Suli, instigated by Hongdu, sent troops to stop him. After Kebineng was defeated, the Hujie Xiongnu coalition immediately retreated.

However, how could Cao Peng easily let go of the two parties? He led his troops across the Ganwei River, and at the same time issued a conscription order to recruit soldiers and horses from Youzhou and Bingzhou. When Cao Hong learned of Cao Peng's victory, he transferred troops without saying a word.

The soldiers and horses of fifty prefectures in Bingzhou participated in the battle. Cao Chun, the governor of Youzhou, also recruited soldiers and horses of thirty prefectures, together with the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Daxing Prefecture in Liaodong and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Lu Han, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses participated in the battle.

However, no one expected that the general sent by Lu Han would be their prince, Cao Nian, who was less than ten years old.

An army of 160,000 troops gathered at the Ganwei River.

Grain and grass from Liangzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou were sent to Xincheng County one after another.

Cao Peng made it clear that he would not give up until the Hujie people were killed. For a moment, the Hujie people felt a chill to their bones.

Fuchun, Chengfu.

Cheng Pu felt quite sad when he looked at Zhuge Jin, who was tired from all the work and looked tired.

A great situation was lost in the blink of an eye.

Who is to blame?

Blame the motor?

At least in the Battle of Sanjiangkou, Ma Da did not show any flaws, and it was even said that his command was extremely appropriate.

Blame Sun Shao? Blame Tai Shi Ci?

No one can blame...

"Lu Boyan, why did you start the uprising?"

Cheng Pu suddenly asked, but Zhuge Jin didn't know where to start.

"This is a long story to say...it seems to start from the time of King Heng." Zhuge Jin knew some of the reasons, so he explained it to Cheng Pu. Something happened to Lu Xun at his wedding back then, and it seemed like nothing serious.

.But the root of this disaster has been sown... The Gu and Lu families seemed to be loyal to Sun Quan, but in fact, they were full of resentment in their hearts. They even handed over their private soldiers, and what they did today is what they did today.

As for Xue Zong...it's just a trigger!

"Old General, please, for the sake of Emperor Wu Lie, please help His Majesty one more time."

Zhuge Jin begged hard.

Now, Lu Su is struggling to support himself in Danyang, but sooner or later he will be defeated.

With the rebellion in Kuaiji, Wu County, Sun Quan could no longer control the situation. He could only invite veteran generals like Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc. to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, defeat would be inevitable. It must be said that Cheng Pu had a deep affection for Soochow.

Although I was disappointed with what Sun Quan did before, after thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to go out.

In the first month of the third year of Taiping, Cao Zhang invaded Lujiang County.

Pound occupied Jurong, while Cao Zhen captured Shicheng, forming a pincer attack on Jiankang.

At the same time, Cao Wei's navy landed in Wu County, reunited with He Qi, and occupied Wu County. Seeing that the situation was over, Sun Quan abandoned Jiankang and fled to Yuhang. At the same time, Cheng Pu recruited 3,000 healthy soldiers in Fuchun, and Huang

Gai came out again. Lu Su defended Hushu for more than 20 days. In February, the city was defeated and Lu Su died in battle...

Although Lu Su died, he bought Sun Quan enough breathing time.

Sun Quan also forcibly recruited more than ten thousand people from Shanyue, relying on the advantages of his hometown, and vowed to fight Cao Zhang decisively.

In May, Cao Zhang personally led an army to conquer Yuyao.
