Chapter 727 Don't kill you, don't draw arrows

"Your Majesty, Jiang Guard urgently reported that Du Fuwei has crossed the river!"

Late at night, an urgent report passed through the small window on the palace gate and rushed into the palace, waking the emperor from his dream.

Before the emperor sent troops to attack Jiangnan, he recovered Danyang and moved the capital south, but Du Fuwei fought first. For some time, Du Fuwei had been stationed in Jingkou and stationed in Beigushan, showing his attitude of intending to attack Guazhou Ferry from Jingkou to Jiangdu.

But after a long time, there was no action, so Jiangdu also decided that Du Fuwei did not dare to cross the river. The three forces of Chen Faxing, Lin Shihong and Zuo Caixiang rose in Jiangnan and surrounded Du Fuwei on three sides. Several rebels attacked each other, which made Yang Guang feel that Du Fuwei was too busy to take care of himself.

No one expected that Du Fuwei killed Jiang at this time.

"Where is the Huainan soldiers from Guazhou Du?" Yang Guang asked, rubbing his head with some pain.

"Your Majesty, Du Ni crossed the river from the quarry."

In ancient times, there were two places where the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were easy to cross, one was Caishi Ferry and the other was Guazhou Ferry, which were divided into the upstream and downstream of Jian'an City.

The army in Jiangbei wanted to cross the river to attack Jiankang, so they sent more troops to these two places.

Jiankang also strengthened the defense of these two ferries, so troops were placed on the southern banks of the two ferries and established them as military towns, namely Jingkou and Caishi.

These two places are opposite to each other across the river, namely Jiangdu to the east and Liyang to the west.

Before, Du Fuwei had always been stationed in Jingkou with heavy troops, which made Jiangdu think that even if Du Fuwei really wanted to attack, he would definitely cross the river from Jingkou to attack Jiangdu directly. Therefore, the heavy troops were stationed in the east to defend.

But who would have thought that Du Fuwei actually made a sound attack.

If I had not been out of the camp for a long time, I would not only follow the other rebels to attack each other, but also suddenly take action and cross the north of Caishi.

In fact, Du Fuwei did not make any moves during this period. After capturing the four counties of Danyang, Xuancheng, Piling and Wujun, although Du Fuwei sent troops to continue attacking, there was Shen Faxing in the southeast, Zuo Caixiang in the south, and Lin Shihong in the east, so he could not expand for a while.

Hearing that Yang Guang was dispatching troops to move south, Du Fuwei took action first.

Before, he had been building warships and secretly preparing to cross the river.

On the surface, Du Fuwei had been sending troops to Jingkou, but in fact he had been quietly withdrawing troops. He just withdrew his troops at night, only a little at a time, and often asked a small number of troops to come over under many banners during the day, making the opponent mistakenly think that Du Fuwei had increased troops to Jingkou again.

After such a period of time, there were actually less than 5,000 troops in Jingkou.

Jingkou is the current Zhenjiang. Because Sun Quan first established the capital here and named it Jingcheng. After moving the capital to Jianye, Nanjing, it changed Jingcheng to Jingkou.

Since then, those who established the Eastern Capital have all regarded Jingkou as the important town. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xi Jian managed Jingkou to defeat the Su Jun rebellion and then built a Xiongzhen, known as the Northern Prefecture, and together with the Western Prefecture Liyang and Nanzhou Gushu, guarding the capital Jiankang. Huan Wen was specialized in government affairs and regarded Jingkou as a thorn in his side.

When the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, He Ruobi took the lead in crossing the Yangtze River from Guazhou Crossing, captured Jingkou, and joined forces with Han Qinhu who crossed the river from Caishi to besiege Kang City.

Because Jingkou is important, everyone's eyes are staring at Jingkou.

But I don’t know that Caishi crosses the river across the river and crosses the Hengjiang River. The land suddenly reaches the center of the river. There is an excellent river crossing wharf, which is the easiest place for the Yangtze River to cross the river in ancient times.

When Qin Shihuang was in the south, he also crossed the river from here.

Even when Sun Ce conquered Jiangdong, he crossed the river.

Generally speaking, if you cross the river from north to south, it is better to cross the river from Caishi than Jingkou, because the river is wider and densely populated by rivers and lakes, so the cavalry in the north are not easy to march. However, north of Caishi, it is across the west of Huai and facing the Central Plains, so cavalry is easy to reach and operate.

However, if you attack from south to north, Jingkou is easier to cross than quarry.

But Du Fuwei did the opposite.

He had the help of his old brother, Gongyou, and he also had Luo Cheng's three adopted sons to help him. So he selected strong and brave men from the army, and was named the top recruiter. Both equipment and treatment were the best. He must use it as the front drive in every battle. After the war, the injury must be checked. If the injury is ahead, there will be a heavy reward.

If the injury is behind the scenes, there will be severe punishment.

Among these five thousand recruits, there are three thousand Danyang sword and shield soldiers, who are best at jumping and charging, and there are two thousand light cavalry. In the Jiangnan area, two thousand cavalry are already very powerful.

This elite team was secretly trained and was quietly transferred to quarry in batches.

Then, when the Yangtze River is shallow in winter, it takes a warship ship to cross the river in the dark night.

The quarry ferry was broken in one fell swoop.

Liyang and Jiangdu are called Huaidong Gen.

Li Yang's loss can be said to have caught Jiangdu off guard.

It is said that Du Fuwei and Liufu Gongyou guarded Danyang at that time, and personally led the three generals of Kan Ling to lead 5,000 to cross the river.

When attacking Caishidu official army at night, fierce battles were in full swing, but they were shot by an official army sharpshooter.

Du Fuwei fell down due to the arrow.

Just when everyone was worried, Du Fuwei took the arrow on the horse again, swung his sword and pointed directly at the Sui general in the distance, yelling, "Don't kill you, don't pull the arrow."

Then, the fierce man slapped his horse and rushed straight away, rushing straight to the man, slashing the general under the horse with one knife, and the Sui army collapsed.

"Come on Xiaoguo's army to intercept!"

"Issue Li Yuan to lead his troops to quell the rebellion..." Halfway through, the emperor remembered that Li Yuan might not be credible now, so he changed his words, "Issue Hu'er to serve as the envoy of the Southeast Xuanfu, Henan, Huainan, and Shandong, all subject to his restraint. Xiao Yu is appointed as the envoy of the Guandong Xuanfu, and the three towns in Hebei, Hedong and Monan are all subject to their military system."

"I will go south immediately and command the Huainan army to attack Du Ni, and order Sima Dekan and Yu Wenhua immediately lead Xia Pi and Pengcheng Xiaoguo army back to Jiangdu to protect the army!"

Liyang.

Wujiang.

In history, the place where the King of Chu committed suicide.

Du Fuwei had just captured Wujiang County, and at this time his troops had more than 20,000 troops under his command, and Fu Gongyou sent him a few more troops.

In Wujiang City.

Du Fuwei and Kan Ling and other generals discussed where to fight next.

Some generals believed that they should attack Lujiang and seize Hefei because Meng Rang was killed by his subordinate Li Mi. Now everyone in Lujiang County is uneasy. Although Li Mi sent someone to take over Lujiang, his army was uneasy.

This is a good time to send troops to seize the battle.

Lujiang is also a key town in Huaixi. It occupies Lujiang, and can conquer Henan in the north and sweep Huaixi in the west and east.

"No, I came across the river this time to take the opportunity to grab territory? I came to attack Jiangdu and captured the foolish emperor. Therefore, I only have one target, Jiangdu City."

Kan Ling expressed support.

If you want to fight, hit Jiangdu.

"There are 100,000 fruits in the river!" Someone reminded.

"100,000 Fruits? I think it's not as good as a hundred thousand pigs!" Du Fuwei disagreed.

"The order is sent to the whole army to rest overnight. Tomorrow morning, cross the Chushui River and cross the Liuhe Mountain. We will go to Jiangdu and capture the foolish emperor!"
