Jiangdong's covetousness of Jingzhou lasted only one day. Through various means, they accurately grasped the situation in various parts of Jingzhou. Therefore, once a military operation was launched, it would be like thunder and lightning. But no matter how much information is paid attention to, it is impossible to be incomplete after all, and there are many places that need to be speculated.

For example, Lei Yuan’s whereabouts.

Lei Yuan was the Left General of the Governor of Jiaozhou, and was one of the few members of Fang Zhen under the command of King Hanzhong. His whereabouts in Yizhou were beyond his reach from Chengdu, so Jiangdong calculated Lei Yuan's journey based on the tips sent by Jiangling, and believed that he was still in Ba County at this moment.

It doesn't take long to go from Bajun to Jiangling to go down the river. But now it is the time when the river rises in spring and summer. The water flows between the gorges and rivers are turbulent and circling, and boats will be destroyed when sailing.

Therefore, Lei Yuan and others must have traveled along the north of Jiangbei. According to common sense, it takes at least ten days to reach the Yiling line at Xiakou. With these ten days, it is enough for the army in Jiangdong to cross the river and block the north and south of Jingzhou.

However, Lei Yuan's whereabouts were much faster than they expected.

After entering the Xiajiang River, he traveled day and night along the north of the Yangtze River. At this time, he had passed Yiling and was about to enter Zhijiang County, Nanjun.

There are relatively open and flat roads along the river between Zhijiang and Yiling, and to the north, there are rarely visited mountain roads. This road runs through mountains and valleys. The terrain on both sides of the road is deep and dangerous, with strange peaks and walls standing on the rock walls, and there are also ancient trees intersecting to block the sun.

This road was built in the Qin Dynasty and has collapsed in many places since modern times. When Lei Yuan was the prefect of Yidu, it was renovated and became a major road for Nanjun business travelers to Yizhou. Because this road connects Jingshan to the north, there are many barbarians. In order to ensure safety along the way, a military fort was built in the middle section of the road, and more than 100 troops were stationed in a few days.

Lei Yuan pulled his horse in front of Tunbao, and slowly gathered with the long cavalry behind him. The sound of horse hooves shook and echoed back and forth on the cliffs in the mountains.

In the past, Lei Yuan set out from Jiangling and raided Yiling, and then resumed at the location of the fortress. Deng Tong was seriously injured and wanted to insist on fighting with him. Lei Yuan ordered him to stay here to rest. Deng Tong was unwilling. As a result, several subordinates led by Liu Qi pressed Deng Tong down with all their hands and feet. During the process, Liu Qi was bitten by Deng Tong in the ear.

Because this scene was really funny, Lei Yuan visited this fort twice and talked to his subordinates, using Deng Tong's scandal as a topic of conversation. However, Deng Tong had died in the battlefield in Runan for several years since then, and many of the soldiers present on that day were also damaged. Lei Yuan looked around and found that there were not many people who accompanied Yiling to attack Yiling.

This made Lei Yuan feel moved. People in troubled times have a low life. Even a warrior like Deng Tong, who has a very rich experience and a considerable status, would die in battle as easily as blowing out a candle; the entourage around Lei Yuan has changed many people in just a few years.

Is this the case with warriors, is the exception of the people? What's more, the pain of the ordinary people being poisoned in troubled times!

This troubled times should not be continued anyway.

Since joining Liu Bei's camp, Lei Yuan fought east and west, there has been no one who has not been busy on the battlefield, and no one has not been able to kill the enemy and make meritorious service in a year. Why is he so active? It is to win a higher position and stronger strength, and then gain the opportunity to change history and turn the direction of history.

Lei Yuan was not familiar with historical anecdotes in his previous life. He only knew that after the three-part return to Jin, the Five Barbarians invaded China and the land of China was sinking. After the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty was immediately followed. Hundreds of years seemed endless, and the blood and flesh of thousands of Han people became the food for countless ambitious people and murderers.

Lei Yuan wanted to change all this and wanted to turn around this terrible future.

Now is the best opportunity, and it is also the opportunity that Lei Yuan has been waiting for for a long time. Lei Yuan thought about the first day after leading the Lei tribes in Lujiang to Jingzhou. In this period of history, the turning point that could be called a turning point that turned the world was that Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked Jingzhou.

Before Sun Quan defeated the alliance, Liu Bei's regime expanded thousands of miles of land and won millions of people. He defeated Cao Cao's heavy army several times. Guan Yu's troops were so powerful that the Han Dynasty was expected to rise three times. Then Jingzhou was lost and Guan Yu was defeated. All efforts were shattered, and the Han Dynasty had no hope of revival from then on.

Lei Yuan wanted to seize this opportunity and destroy this turning point.

Lei Yuan's mentality is different from that of contemporary scholars. He has his own strength, is rarely bound, and is not like someone. He is moved by a few times, and he has been assigned to the right place and is loyal. He can always calmly consider the situation in the world and determine the direction of his efforts.

The result of his judgment is very simple: the Wei and Jin dynasties are inherited, and they have all the disadvantages of the Later Han Dynasty but they are really worthy; the Jiangdong regime responds perfunctorily from within and without the prosperity of building infrastructure. Since this is the case, isn't it good to promote the Han Dynasty in Sanxing?

Huan, Lingzhi Han is already full of holes, but isn’t it worth looking forward to the great man that Xuande Duke and Kong Ming rebuilt hand in hand?

Therefore, there is only one who has to let Wu Hou be wronged.

Now is indeed a good opportunity for Jiangdong to defeat the alliance. The main force of the King of Hanzhong was trapped in Guanzhong; in order to support the battle between Guanzhong, Yizhou even sent the general reserve team. In order to support the battlefield of Guanzhong, Guan Yu, stationed in Jiangling, had to go north to attack Xiangyang and the solid city on the front line of Fancheng.

Jiangdong probably tried his best to do so suddenly, obviously planning for this alliance for a long time.

Unfortunately, Lei Yuan has been waiting for several years. He is almost impatient.

At this time, Ma Dai rushed from the rear of the cavalry team.

Ma Dai is now a partial general and serves as the county magistrate of Yulin County. It is said that this should not be here. But a month ago, Lei Yuan issued an order to lead a thousand cavalry into Shu and temporarily join the army of the Later General Huang Zhong in Fucheng to participate in the rotation training and reorganization.

Ma Dai was ordered to go. Because Lei Yuan wrote a letter to him, he was not fast in the marching speed. It took him more than ten days to enter the Xiajiang area, and then he bumped into Lei Yuan who came along the river from Bajun.

This was a coincidence. Ma Dai felt in his heart that his head was really unfathomable. But he did not ask much, but naturally followed Lei Yuan back. In the next few days, he led his subordinates to rush all the way and finally stopped in this deep mountain tun castle west of Nanjun.

At this time, Ma Dai rode his horse over and said, "General, this trestle is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of cavalry!"

Lei Yuan nodded slightly: "Let the soldiers rest, be careful of the smoke when making fire and cooking, and do not expose our army's whereabouts."

Madaile went to pass the order.

The cavalry of the brigade immediately followed the road ahead of the Tun Fort.

On the outside of this trestle, there are bamboo and viewing towers made of bamboo and wood. The front is about ten feet, and the inner side is based on the deep valley. The space is very large. The ground has been pre-leveled and drainage ditches have been dug.

The action of the cavalry disturbed the group of wild deer living here. Dozens of wild deer chirped in panic, jumping and running in the forest, stepping on steep rocks to a higher place. Fortunately, there was no people in the mountains, and such deer migration would not attract extra attention.

According to Lei Yuan's instructions, Ma Dai brought a total of 1,000 cavalry north, and there were more than 700 strong men, 1,200 war horses, more than 40 pack horses, and more than 30 baggage vehicles.

His cavalry unit was originally composed of Ma Chao's troops who were lost in Brazil, and also included some Qiang and Hu knights. According to common sense, after they arrived under Lei Yuan's command, they moved to various places, and it was difficult to replenish the troops and should be continuously reduced.

However, because Lei Yuan valued Ma Dai's talent, when he was recruited in various battles, he always gave priority to soldiers who were proficient in cavalry to supplement this cavalry team and even the war horses. He tried his best to ensure the support through various channels. Therefore, over the years, Ma Dai's troops increased.
