Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning
Chapter 482 An Important Battle to Control the Yangtze River
Cao Shuo helped Yuan Shu cure his illness in Hefei City, and then led his army to station in Liyang County, which is located by the Yangtze River.
He brought Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, Xi Zhicai, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, Yan Xiang and others to the riverside.
Looking at the warships coming and going on the Yangtze River, he asked, "Is the other side Danyang County?"
Yan Xiang replied: "Your Majesty, on the other side is Danyang County of Wu State."
Cao Shuo thought about it in his heart, he wanted to enter Wu County, and he had to detour Guangling County, and then he could cross the river with the help of Gan Ning's warship.
He looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "This big river blocks my way."
Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty is going to Wu County?"
"Ok!"
Xi Zhicai said: "Although we have withdrawn the Hengjiang iron chain between Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, the warships of Soochow are still here. We want to cross the river, and the price is very high."
"but!"
Xi Zhicai changed the subject and continued: "Mr. Jia Xu, we have already made preparations. Most of the army in Kuaiji County has been transferred to Qu'a. It will not be long before we attack Danyang County."
Cao Shuo said coldly: "Send someone to inform Gan Ning to let his warships enter the Yangtze River, and cooperate with Jia Xu to capture all the areas on the other side of Liyang."
"promise!"
Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty, Jiangxia has been occupied by General Lu, he sent someone to send a message, who will be the prefect of Jiangxia."
Cao Shuo thought about it for a while, Jiangxia County has mountain roads that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, only the south is close to the Yangtze River, the terrain is flat, and there is almost no danger to defend.
If Sun Ce led an army to attack Jiangxia County, he might not be able to defend against it.
To solve the predicament of Jiangxia County, Gan Ning's navy must be sent there.
"Let him take care of it for the time being, and leave the government affairs to Chen Gong. After we take down Danyang County, we will send someone else to replace him."
"promise!"
When Cao Shuo came to Guangling County, he received Gan Ning, Jia Xu and other Yangzhou generals in the county guard's mansion.
Cao Shuo looked at Gan Ning and asked, "Xingba, in a decisive battle with Sun Ce's navy on the Yangtze River, what are your chances of winning?"
Gan Ning replied: "At the end of the day, there is a [-]% certainty that Sun Ce's navy will be defeated."
In the past, there were a lot of iron cables on the Yangtze River, and his big ship could not walk in the Yangtze River, but now without this obstacle, Sun Ce's navy could not stop him at all.
If it wasn't for the shipyard in Qingzhou to upgrade the catapult crossbow on the big ship, he would have led an army into the Yangtze River long ago.
Jia Xu reminded: "I heard that Sun Ce's shipyard can also build large ships. It is also equipped with catapults and bed crossbows. We should not be careless."
Gan Ning looked at Cao Shuo and asked, "When does my lord plan to send troops?"
"As long as you are ready, go to war. I want to show Sun Ce that even if they have the same big ships as us, they are not as powerful as us."
"The last general is going to prepare for a decisive battle with Sun Ce's army on the Yangtze River tomorrow morning."
After Gan Ning and other navy generals left, Jia Xu said, "My lord, the army of Wu County is ready to attack Danyang County at any time."
"Then at the same time as Gan Ning's army, didn't Cheng Pu attack us from She County earlier, and we also attacked She County from Jiande to let them know that the place where the ship can pass is our world."
"promise!"
She County does not have warships, but his warships can enter Zheshui from Zhejiang, and then enter Danyang County Mansion along Zheshui.
In the south of Danyang County, there are only Yi County and She County, and the other areas are in the hands of Shanyue. This time, Shanyue was wiped out together.
Cao Shuo drove Xu Ding, Zhang Xiu, and Zou Dan to Wu County to obey Jia Xu's orders.
"His Majesty, Yamatai Queen Himiko has been brought here."
"Send it to my Xingyuan."
After Cao Shuo ordered everything, he hurried back to Xingyuan.
If Yangzhou can be pacified, then he will dispatch generals next to eliminate the hidden danger of Wa Kingdom.
When Himiko saw Cao Shuo, he yelled, "How long are you going to imprison me? My people are still waiting for me to treat them."
During nearly a year in Wei State, Himiko has learned almost the same Chinese, and his speech is no longer as blunt as before.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Look at my country, Wei, is it much stronger than your Yamatai?"
Himiko said displeasedly: "You don't intend to give me soldiers!"
"Soldiers and horses are easy to talk about, they can be given at any time, but we need to talk about conditions!"
Himiko said angrily: "What conditions will allow you to detain me for nearly a year without reason."
"In the future, Yamatai will become a state of our country Wei, and we will absolutely obey the arrangements of our country Wei. The appointment of officials in Yamatai must be approved by our country Wei."
"why?"
Himiko was speechless, even if it was a dependent country, it couldn't restrict it so ruthlessly.
Isn't this just trying to occupy their Wa country?
"Because I plan to change the name of Wa Kingdom."
Himiko snorted coldly and said, "Change it to what?"
"Nuzhou!"
"Nuzhou?"
Himiko frowned, knowing from the name, this person must be uneasy and kind.
"You have also seen the soldiers and horses of our Wei State. How many soldiers do you think I need to destroy the Wa State?"
Himiko was terrified in his heart, the fighting style of their Wa country was very different from that of Wei country.
Japan lacked war horses and ores, and most soldiers used wooden spears and bamboo swords.
If you really want to fight against Wei's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid they can defeat tens of thousands of their own army with a thousand cavalry.
I came to ask for reinforcements, and you actually want to destroy us.
Cao Shuo looked at her and said with a smile, "If you think about it, it won't affect our drinking."
He took a jug and poured Himiko a glass of wine, Himiko hesitated, but drank anyway.
She also drank wine in the country of Wa, and now she misses the fruit wine of the country of Wa a little bit.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"You, what kind of wine is this?"
Himiko's face turned red from being choked, and the first thing he felt was spicy, very spicy.
"Haven't you ever drank it? This is a fine wine!"
"When are you going to let me go back?"
Cao Shuo looked at Zhao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, how sure are you that you can bring down Wa Kingdom?"
Zhao Yu asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you planning to let me go?"
"You go with Baoyue and Wudie."
Cao Shuo also told her about the basic situation of the Wa country. The total population is about 50, and the Wa country is very chaotic now. The 50 is the approximate figure when Himiko came a year ago.
"With an army of [-], I will take down Nuzhou in one year."
"One year? I don't want you to go for so long."
Zhao Yuqiao blushed and said, "If General Dian can go with us, it will be three months at most."
"After the battle in Danyang County is over, Lu Xun, Zhang Hu, Lu Meng, Dian Wei, and Xun You's eldest son, Xun Ji, will go with you."
Zhao Yu asked in surprise, "What can those three little kids do?"
"Let them exercise!"
Zhao Yu pointed to Himiko who was drowsy and said, "Take this too?"
"How can it be done without a guide, I will enlighten her these two days!"
He brought Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu, Xi Zhicai, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, Yan Xiang and others to the riverside.
Looking at the warships coming and going on the Yangtze River, he asked, "Is the other side Danyang County?"
Yan Xiang replied: "Your Majesty, on the other side is Danyang County of Wu State."
