Chapter 778

Liu Bu led his army to Xiangyang on New Year's Eve.

For his generals in charge of the army, war is an order. When the military order comes, they have to stand up in armor and fight for their families and people, and go to the battlefield. As for the new year, it is second.

Now is the troubled times. In the troubled times, I can't help myself. Whether these princes and generals as chess players or the common people as chess pieces, they are deeply affected by fate and can't extricate themselves from being manipulated by fate. All this is no different from flying catkins in the wind and duckweed in the water.

Although Liu Bu, as one of the chess players of this era, is a figure who controls the fate of millions of people in the north and south, Daming can have today's situation, which is also caused by him and the result of his manipulation behind his back, he is also like a catkin in the wind and a duckweed in the water, which can not surpass his fate.

For example, the new year is coming soon. He wants to spend the new year with his wife and children. More importantly, his wife Zheng zining will be born soon. If he is willing to stay a few more days, he is afraid that he can see his eldest son born with his own eyes.

The emergence of descendants makes it possible for everything to be passed on in a benign way, and all struggles have meaning. Is this worth waiting for me to please you?

But can he wait? Although Liu Bu is a commander-in-chief, he can't let tens of thousands of troops wait for him because of his own personal interests. He knows that saving soldiers is like fighting a fire. Every quick cup of tea can save one more person, and one person will be killed every night.

Liu Bu had no choice but to take a boat to the West on a stormy night.

Liu Bu's adventure also achieved great success. He suddenly appeared at Yiling wharf, which is the key to defeating the enemy.

It is estimated that when his army arrived, Zhang Youwei was surprised to find that the enemy who was expected to arrive a few days later actually arrived a few days earlier, which shocked them greatly.

After annihilating the enemy and winning the battle of Yiling, Liu Bu wanted to go back to Nanjing and have a peaceful year with his wife and children, but he knew it seemed a little too late.

Another important reason is that their west is under great pressure. Although Zhu Xieyuan's Department has retreated to Nanyang, he can counterattack Xiangyang and go south to Huguang at any time, so he must arrive in Xiangyang in person and make a town and plan here.

Liu Bu is the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of national defense of the Chinese Empire and the Grand Marshal of all the troops in the world. All the troops of the Chinese Empire are under his control. He is in the safety of a country and the life and death of tens of millions of people. He should put military affairs first and children's private affairs second.

Everyone believes that as long as their Marshal Liu comes out, they can certainly defeat the enemy. As long as Liu Bu appears in Xiangyang, it can give great excitement to the local army and people.

How can you disappoint the people of the world if you live up to the expectations of the people of the world.

Moreover, this area has just been under the control of the Chinese army. The people's hearts are not determined and the foundation is not stable. When Liu Buhe goes, he can make a strategy for this area, occupy more places and control more territory.

The two most important granaries in the Ming Dynasty were said a few decades ago. They were called Su Song Shu, the world's foot. The so-called Su Song is Suzhou and Songjiang, which is also the traditional core area of the south of the Yangtze River.

However, with the development of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, there is a new saying, that is, Huguang is ripe and the world is full. These places are the granaries of the world. As long as these places are controlled, managed properly, and the weather is good, we can feed the whole world.

Now why everyone is optimistic about the Chinese empire is because they have two places called the granary of the world. With these places, they can have no worries about food.

Liu Bu went to Xiangyang to stabilize the front line, not only to defend the enemy's possible counterattack, but also to stabilize the place.

Liu Bu didn't come here on New Year's Eve, but because he just arrived on New Year's Eve.

Li Dingguo led the army and people of the whole city to welcome Liu Bu at the Hanjiang wharf.

At Hanjiang wharf, colorful flags fluttered and gongs and drums roared. The people of the whole city, whether residents or officials, came to Hanjiang Wharf in costumes to welcome Liu bu.

Liu Buhe is the commander of the Chinese army, the crown prince of the Empire and one of the most important figures. No one dares to ignore him.

On both sides of the Han River, a few days ago, it was the key for the Chinese army to compete with the Ming army.

Xiangyang City is very special. It is composed of Xiangcheng and Fancheng. The Han River passes through it and divides it into two. Therefore, when setting up the city, the designers of this city skillfully introduced the Han River into his moat, which makes it a real city.

The moat of Xiangyang City, because the Han River is introduced, has a continuous supply of the Han River. It is impossible for you to cut off the moat, which makes it very difficult for you to attack it.

Everyone has a consensus that if they want to cut off the external connection to Xiangyang, they have to go both land and water and block it from land and water.

It took ten years for the Mongolian army to encircle and break through him. The Ming army came only a few days and wanted to take this city for granted.

Of course, the greater reason why Xiangyang City can be defended is that it benefits from the strong navy of the Chinese army. The Han river divides Xiangyang City into two. The two places can only be connected by ferry and bamboo raft, which is easy to be cut off by outsiders, such as those on the water.

However, the Chinese army has the most powerful navy in the whole south. They have always controlled the river control power of the Han River and the Yangtze River, making it impossible for the enemy to fight the enemy's navy, which makes it impossible for the enemy to cut off the city's external relations.

Zhu Xieyuan surrounded Xiangyang City and made a series of attacks on it, which always gives people a sense of weak strength, because it has never been able to surround the city.

Finally, as strong as Zhu Xieyuan, he immediately began to retreat after seeing the master's futility.

After determining that Zhu Xieyuan had been defeated, Li Dingguo ordered the local gentry of the two prefectures and seven counties under his rule to surrender within a limited time. Violators will be killed. The Chinese army only controlled Xiangcheng and Fancheng, and more places are under the control of the Ming army or in a neutral state.

In the past, these areas were neutral in order to wait and see, but now these people should not dare to wait and see. The Huaxia army defeated the enemy and proved that he was the strongest in the region. These local officials either abandoned the city and fled or obeyed. When Zhu Xieyuan's army was defeated in Henan, few really dared to resist the Huaxia army.

Therefore, officials and people in other counties either followed Zhu Xieyuan's army northward or took refuge in the Chinese army.

Therefore, when Liu Bu initially arrived in Xiangyang, the local government had initially straightened out the local situation, and the local residents and officials basically surrendered to the Huaxia army.

Liu Bu's fleet sailed into Xiangyang wharf. When his fleet entered the wharf, the vanguard troops had arrived here, and the whole wharf had been taken over by Liu Bu's own troops.

This is a bad habit of Liu Bu after he took charge of the army. This is that he would not appear easily if he was not under the control of his troops. This idea may be that there are always people who want to harm me.

Liu Bu started a rebellion and was afraid that others would rebel against him, so he would let his personal regiment control the scene everywhere. This can not be said to be a bad problem of Liu Bu alone, but almost all big people.

Liu Bu's fleet entered the Wharf under the grand welcome of all civil and military officials.

Li Dingguo led his elite troops to accept Liu Bu's test. Li Dingguo was ordered to be the division commander, but his division has not been formed, so it is temporarily named Xiangyang division.

This is the custom of the Chinese army. Where the main members of that army come from, they are named after it, either the place of recruitment or the place of birth.

This way has effectively strengthened their cohesion, but after the founding of the people's Republic of China, this problem will become sensitive, and the army is easy to be privatized and mountainous. Therefore, the Chinese army began to reorganize the army in this way at the beginning, and gradually began to reorganize the army with a new name to disrupt these people's mountain chauvinism, at least to disrupt this mountain view and regional view.

Liu Bu was very happy to see the lively scene on the dock. So many people came to welcome him on the dock, which proved that they had saved Xiangyang's strength in this battle of Xiangyang.

They captured Xiangyang City with 18 cavalry. There was no tragic war at all. The subsequent siege did not cause losses to a large number of people, so they preserved the prosperity of the city. Let's see that so many men, women, young and old came to meet them with joy, Liu Bu knew that they had almost completely accepted the city.

Thinking of this, Liu Bu's eyes focused on Li Dingguo, who led the leading army to accept Liu Bu's review.

When Li Dingguo saw Liu Bu get on the red carpet at the dock, he immediately strode forward, ran to Liu Bu, half knelt down and said loudly, "Li Dingguo, the Staff Department, was ordered to guard Xiangyang and live up to his mission. He specially paid the order to the commander."

Liu Bu looked at Li Dingguo. At this time, Li Dingguo was already famous all over the world. He used 18 people to win the Big City Xiangyang. Unexpectedly, he gathered together to build an army. He just carried the fierce attack of Zhu Xieyuan's 100000 army, created one legend after another, and made him a top legend.

Liu Bu looked at this person carefully. He was not very good-looking, some tall and thin, but the whole person was full of spirit. He was like cast iron and steel, and his whole body was full of strength. What was particularly impressive was his eyes. His eyes were as sharp as eagles. He looked forward to himself and had a sense of prestige when walking.

But after seeing Liu Bu, he bowed his head and half knelt down to salute Liu bu.

Liu Bu felt relieved that it was a tiger. A tiger was kneeling down to him and accepting his orders and calls.
