During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han Dynasty established the governors of Hanzhong, Jiangzhou, Yongan, and Najiang. Among them, the three governors of Hanzhong, Yongan, and Najiang were all located in the border areas of Shuhan.
Among them, the Hanzhong Governor guarded the north gate of the Shu Han Dynasty and bore the pressure from Cao Wei. In the history of Shu Han, the first Hanzhong Governor was Wei Yan, which highlighted the important position of the Hanzhong Governor among the four major governors of the Shu Han Dynasty.
The Governor of Yong'an guarded the east gate of Yizhou. During the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei stayed at Baidi City in Yong'an, thus establishing the Governor of Yong'an.
As for the Governor of Nanzhong, he guarded the rear of Shu Han and transported cattle, war horses, gold and silver and other materials from the Nanzhong area to the court to support Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition.
However, unlike the above three governors, the governor of Jiangzhou is located in the hinterland of Shuhan. However, this location is even more important than the remaining locations.
As a waterway transportation hub, Jiangzhou can reach Yong'an to the east, Nanzhong to the south, Chengdu to the west, and Hanzhong to the north, which prompted the governor of Jiangzhou to play the role of a fire-fighting captain.
The troops along the Yangtze River were divided into two groups: land and water. Although Li Jing was nominally in charge of Qi Jiguang's 80,000 naval troops, it was certainly impossible for Qi Jiguang to bring out all 80,000 naval troops.
There was no way Li Jing would let him do this.
In fact, although Qi Jiguang brought out 70,000 of the 80,000 Yangtze River Navy, he also left 10,000 for Yue Fei in case of emergencies.
Later, in Yue Fei's battle, even if it was a passive defense, with 10,000 navy troops present, it could help reduce some pressure on him. Otherwise, if there were no navy troops left, it would be equivalent to destroying all of them.
In World War I, all water control rights were handed over to the enemy.
Qi Jiguang's 70,000-strong navy went by water, while Wu Qi's 100,000-horse army went by land. With the cooperation of the two men, they set out from Yiling and won consecutive battles along the way. They successively attacked Baidi City and a large number of Shu troops.
The fortresses along the way pushed the front directly to Jiangzhou.
Moreover, these two people used strategies to win along the way, and the losses were definitely within their acceptable range.
However, Jiangzhou City is not easy to capture. Now that their reinforcements have arrived, and with Xu Shiji's reinforcements, the enemy force they are facing has reached 100,000, and it will be even more difficult to capture it.
Inside the army's stronghold, Qi Jiguang looked helplessly at Wu Qi, but couldn't get anything useful from his mouth.
Although Qi Jiguang's military position was that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Yangtze River Navy, which was at the level of a Commander-in-Chief, his role as Commander-in-Chief was not equal to that of the Commander-in-Chief of a state, and was within the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of that state.
Therefore, it seems that Qi Jiguang is at the level of governor, but he is really not half higher than Wu Qi, the deputy governor. Even if Wu Qi has some plans in his heart, if he is unwilling to say it, Qi Jiguang really can't do anything to him for the time being.
In fact, Qi Jiguang knew that if Wu Qi was really willing, it was quite possible to capture Jiangzhou City before Xu Shiji's reinforcements arrived.
However, Wu Qi has been holding back and not taking Jiangzhou City. Obviously, there are only two possibilities. The first one is naturally that Wu Qi betrayed the Jin army and had disloyal thoughts in his heart.
However, there is actually little room for this possibility. Wu Qi is now a deputy governor-level figure, and he is also the deputy governor of Jingzhou.
Although the Jin army in Jingzhou only controlled half of the state, due to the special nature of this place, the number of troops stationed was far greater than that in other states.
Other states, including the base camp Sizhou, except for elite battalions such as heavy cavalry, trapped camp, and flying tiger camp, only have a standing force of 100,000.
But what is the situation in Jingzhou? Even excluding the 80,000 troops of Qi Jiguang's Yangtze River Navy, Yue Fei's Jingzhou troops are as high as 200,000.
Wu Qi was already the deputy governor of Jingzhou and was under the control of other princes. Unless those princes directly let Wu Qi be the general of the army, Wu Qi would not get a higher substantive status and power at all.
Since the first possibility is unlikely, the only remaining explanation is the second possibility, which is that Wu Qi has a bigger plan, and what he wants is even above Jiangzhou City.
Moreover, during this period of time, the army clearly had enough food and grass, but Wu Qi kept destroying the food from the rear. It can be seen that he had a big move hidden in his heart.
What is helpless is that although Qi Jiguang is curious about what Wu Qi is planning, the other party's tone is too strict. He has been testing for so long, but he has not found anything effective.
"Dang, clang, clang, clang..." The sound of gongs and drums continued to sound.
Of course, Wu Qi and Qi Jiguang definitely couldn't hear them here. The Chinese army's tent must be in the center of the camp, and those sounds couldn't reach here.
Even if someone came to report this situation later, Wu Qi did not take it seriously. With so many generals under his command, someone would naturally solve this problem. Is there such a big problem? All big and small problems are left to him.
If we want to solve it, what do we need the generals below to do?
The general is the one who commands the soldiers under his command, and the commander-in-chief of an army is in charge of these generals!
Since Xu Shiji arrived, the Jin army was not in a hurry to attack the city, and only carried out feint attacks every day. Instead, Wu Qi focused his energy on outsmarting, and still implemented his previous style of winning by outsmarting.
Seeing that the Jin army did not launch a sudden attack, Xu Shiji took a peek at the camp and thought of a plan. He sent Yang Duanhe and Pang De to patrol all night. Near dawn, he sent Yan Yan and Jiuchong from the city.
Go out and attack the left and right sides of Wu Qi's camp.
This was a plan to exhaust the army. When Wu Qi learned that the golden drums were beating loudly in the camp, he already knew it, but it was unthinkable and he had to order the entire army to resist the sneak attack by the Shu army.
After repelling the invading enemy, it was already midday.
After all the troops had cooked rice and had enough to eat and drink, it was almost too late.
If you want to attack the city, after arranging your troops, it will be almost sunset.
However, many things cannot be done at the same time, especially in front of a figure like Wu Qi. At first, he did not expect his plan to weaken the army, and this allowed the opponent to have some effect.
But after the first time, Xu Shiji used this method again, and it had little effect. The people who came to carry out his mission were either killed or driven away.
Of course, Xu Shiji sometimes sent troops to ambush those who were dispersed by the Jin army, but Wu Qi would definitely make corresponding arrangements. In short, it was your small group of troops who killed me, and I killed yours.
