Chapter 97 Coordinated Operations

"Advancing both by land and water..." Guan Yu felt a little disappointed.

Affected by the light curtain, Guan Yu had already contacted the navy in advance, and it was from the perspective of the navy that he could better understand the power of these four words.

When Yizhou enters Jingzhou, it goes down the river, just like advancing by land and water. The navy can not only transport the baggage, but also send the navy directly into the hinterland of Jingzhou to harass.

With such frequent emergencies at the rear, how could Lu Xun on the front line hold on safely for half a year?

When Liu Bei read the letter written by Lu Xun to Sun Quan, he even buried his head under the table: What people are afraid of is advancing both by land and water, but in the end, he abandoned the boat and did exactly what he wanted.

"Brother, why are you acting like this?" At this time, Guan Yu could only comfort his good brother:

"Now that our navy has taken shape, we will never suffer this disaster again."

"Brother, are you the same as Zilong?" Zhang Fei was curious: "The more soldiers there are, the harder it is to fight?"

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun opened their mouths to speak, but they seemed unable to refute, and both looked a little embarrassed.

Guan Yu glanced at his third brother with sympathy on his face.

[Lu Xun's method of advancing waterways and cutting off the rear is not well documented in historical materials, so we can look at it comprehensively.

Huang Quan's biography records: Taking advantage of the current to cut off the siege, Nanjun was defeated, the first lord retreated, and the road was cut off.

The record in Zhu Ran's biography is even simpler: cut off the path behind him, and then prepare to break away.

When Lu Xun's grandson Lu Ji boasted about Yiling's victory, he said: "Xun's soldiers are like snakes compared to Shu. He said that the territory is so narrow that the head and tail cannot save each other. This is how powerful it is (Liu Liang's annotation)."

Combining the three records can reveal a basic truth:

Lu Xun had already found his chance to win from the beginning, and after Liu Bei ordered the navy to go ashore, he was even more intensively preparing his plan.

After discovering the reality of the Shu Han military camp, he ordered Zhu Ranshuo to go upstream and break into the rear of the front army while lighting a fire in the military camp.

As a result, Liu Bei's company not only lost effectiveness, but also became a burden. Unrest and fear spread rapidly through the company. The stalemate between the two armies resolved itself, and the Shu Han army quickly collapsed. 】

"It's terrible." Pang Tong couldn't help but said:

"A powerful person controls power because of advantage. General Lu Xun will not show off his strength in the face of the lord's strong army. The battlefield of Yiling Gorge Road is the battlefield chosen by this general, and the opportunity for the decisive battle will also be determined by this battle."

"From the beginning to the end, we have controlled power according to the situation, so we have become invincible."

"Commander Pang, why do you have to say so much?" Zhang Fei concluded:

"To put it bluntly, Lu Xun has the final say on where to fight, and when to fight. Lu Xun still has the final say. How can I win?"

After such a simple statement, the generals immediately understood: since it is the battlefield chosen by the opponent, the opponent must have an advantage.

"Then what if we encounter the same situation as our lord?" The generals discussed one after another.

"Build grain roads to prevent fire hazards, which will disappear on their own after autumn comes," Guan Yu said.

"Make the athletes shout insults every day in order to see their morale collapse and lead the troops to march into the camp." Zhang Fei said.

Zhao Yun recalled what Guangmu had said before about the Taizu and said:

"Send a group of elite soldiers to cross the mountains to harass the rear and force the opponent to fight."

The three generals gave three different answers. As for Wei Yan, no one was demanding because there were not enough positions.

Liu Bei was very pleased: all three brothers were reliable.

[And all this was clearly seen by the unlucky Egg Yolk Quan on the north bank of the river.

He didn't know who the Wu general was who "taken the current to cut off the siege". He only knew that his retreat had been cut off.

Huang Quan was very ambitious and did not want to surrender to Wu, so he had to go north to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Jun, who had been watching the theater in the sun for more than half a year, looked confused:

This Huang Quan was an important Shu Han minister who secured Hanzhong for Liu Bei. He was a real big fish, and he even brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers and baggage to surrender!

Cao Jun just ate hot pot and sang songs, and completed this year's target.

What can be additionally mentioned here is that the Shu Han also believed that Huang Quan's surrender to Cao was a helpless move.

His son Huang Chongzhong entered the court as an official, and later followed Zhuge Zhan to fight against Deng Ai, and died in the battle with Zhang Fei's grandson Zhang Zun. 】

This is really unlucky, but what can it do?

"Huang Quan didn't fail me, but I failed him a lot." Liu Bei sighed.

"My lord sent him to lead the army in Jiangbei to guard against Cao's thieves because of his trust." Pang Tong stood up and comforted:

"Now that the company's camp is broken, my lord has too much time to take care of himself, how can he take care of so much?"

"His father had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao, and his son died in battle and martyred his country." Zhang Fei glanced at him:

"We Shu Han are all good men!"

"Huang Quan is a man of great thought and elegance." Jian Yong praised:

"Guangmu mentioned his name before, so many people inquired about him when he came to Chengdu. Now he is the master of the book."

"Another useless talent." Liu Bei understood: "Liu Jiyu is really lucky." His tone was full of envy.

[Another evidence that Lu Xun cut off the navy is that Liu Bei fled back to Baidi City almost alone.

In the era of cold weapons, the army could be eliminated or surrendered in an organized manner only if its retreat was cut off.

Typical examples include Yuan Shao's retreat in the Battle of Guandu, Guan Erye's retreat in the Battle of Xiangfan, etc.

Moreover, this battle is very similar to the Incheon landing battle. At that time, the North Korean army faced the South Korean army with overwhelming force, and the battle line was stretched very long.

The U.S. military landed at Incheon and relied on coordinated sea, land and air operations to penetrate the center line and cut off the North Korean army's retreat, causing the North Korean army to quickly collapse under a favorable situation.

If it were not for the intervention of our volunteer army, the Korean army would probably be wiped out by the establishment, causing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to be irreversible. 】

Pang Tong's face was shocked, but looking around, everyone's expressions were as usual. It was obvious that they were used to it, and they were even talking softly.

"It seems that this war in the future is for the sake of a vassal state." Huang Yueying frowned and speculated:

"I think this vassal state of the US military wants to attack the neighboring country of our Han Dynasty and repeat the old story of destroying Guo by pretending to be a pretext. I just don't know where this Korea is?"

Kong Ming recalled the bamboo slips he had read and said:

"When Zhou destroyed Shang, King Zhou's uncle was granted the title of Marquis of Korea, and his fiefdom was located in Liaodong."

"Korea is located in the Central Plains and extends to the sea, so the name of the peninsula is appropriate."

"Emperor Wu destroyed Wei Man and established four counties. After the death of General Gongsun, there was little news about him."

Why is it so complicated? Jian Yong shook his head: "Another Han territory has established itself."

Because of these completely new news, no one cared that Liu Bei only escaped, which made Liu Bei feel relieved.

Seeing Pang Tong who was not used to it, Liu Bei smiled and comforted him:

"The light curtain is like this, occasionally it will reveal a little bit of news from the future, Kong Ming is surprised and surprised."

Pang Tong nodded in understanding, and then heard Liu Bei ask again: "Shi Yuan may guess, what does the moving territory mean?"

On the other side, the attention of the generals was focused on the coordination of the sea, land and air. Wei Yan's eyebrows were already jumping wildly and could no longer hold it.

"The air force is the thing that can fly in the sky in the light curtain before?" Zhang Fei guessed something, and then smacked his lips regretfully:

"I thought that future generations knew how to grow wings."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and thought:

"The navy... is the future direction of the navy?"

"Multi-service coordination is also the direction of future wars?"

[However, in the Battle of Yiling, the success of this amphibious operation of land and water only ensured that Lu Xun was temporarily invincible.

If you want to really win, there is still a very hard bone to chew: that is the sixty-year-old Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei who never admits defeat.

Lu Xun relied on arson to disrupt the morale of the army and the navy to cut off the retreat, breaking through more than 40 camps, beheading Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Shamoke, and Du Lu, Liu Ning and other generals also forced to surrender.

The situation at this time had already slipped towards an irreversible abyss, but Liu Bei still planned to give it a last ditch effort. 】
