Chapter 542: Besieging Yanzhou from all sides
As Liu Yu had predicted, a large-scale riot broke out in Guangling County against Sun Cejun.
There is a credit to the "dark department", and they spread the news that Zhao Yu was killed by Sun Ce throughout Guangling County.
The people who had received Zhao Yu's favor or heard about Zhao Yu's reputation exploded.
In this troubled world, it is rare for a good official to appear in Xuzhou for the country and the people, and you Sun Ce actually killed him. The people want to get justice for Zhao Yu.
The families in Guangling and other places couldn't sit still, Zhao Yu's family was also a strong party in Xuzhou, and they were killed by Sun Ce's people on the street, and they didn't even have the least respect, at least they had to be punished by the Ming Dynasty. It's just an insult. And you, Sun Ce, want to kill someone with such a good reputation as Zhao Yu, so what should the others do? Do you want to wash your neck and wait for you to kill? The family is not a mud leg, but you can't let Sun Ce be arrogant.
As a result, the entire Guangling County, under the operation of well-intentioned people, set off a huge wave of noise and riots.
In order to stabilize the situation, Sun Ce used Huairou methods at the beginning, first proving his innocence. I have always admired Zhao Yu very much, and I have never embarrassed Zhao Yu. At the same time, he personally came out to explain that he was not a murderer. The Maison also sent an envoy to explain the reason. But this kind of gentleness could not be believed by the people and the family. Everyone understands people, don't talk so much nonsense, "Little Overlord" is such a big name, you won't dare to do it.
Sun Ce didn't expect that his Huairou would be rejected by these people. I think he, Sun Ce, would have been so low in a voice once upon a time. Annoyed, Sun Ce decided to use a strong hand to deal with the matter. Zhou Yu couldn't stop it if he wanted to.
Sun Ce directly sent a large army to suppress it and beheaded all the leaders of several provokers.
It was clear that the best way to deal with violence was to use it, and Guangling County soon became peaceful. Under Sun Ce's butcher's knife, the rioting people and the family temporarily chose to keep to themselves.
When Sun Ce thought that these people should be divided, other counties in the south of Xuzhou set off riots, and wave after wave, specifically picking the weak underbelly of Sun Ce's troops to attack, so that Sun Ce suffered a lot of losses.
Zhou Yu now understands that all this is operated by Liu Yu behind the scenes. It's a pity that Zhou Yu has no other way to stop it, so he can only send a large army to suppress it constantly, which consumes a lot of time and energy.
After Xiapi City was captured, Cao Cao almost had a headache when he received the news.
The loss of so many soldiers made Cao Cao grief. Especially the elite tiger and leopard rider among them, that is Cao Cao's heart and liver baby, he lost so much at once, Cao Cao's heart is like a knife.
What's more important is that if Xiapi is lost, then the barrier to the east of Yanzhou will be gone, and it will be surrounded by Liu Yu on all sides.
Yanzhou is at stake.
Liu Yu was happy. Although Guan Yu and Zhao Yun told all the stories of the attack on Xiapi, and the people of Xiapi City suffered heavy casualties, Liu Yu didn't care so much. The capture of Xiapi City had a huge effect on Liu Yu's strategy, and he could finally launch a strategy against Yanzhou, a place of four wars.
As long as Yanzhou in the Central Plains, Cao Cao's last base, is captured, then Liu Yu can go south to Yuzhou, break through Shouchun, destroy Cao Cao in one fell swoop, and then march into Jiangdong, and the situation of unification of the world cannot be reversed.
Liu Yu, who was firmly seated in Luoyang, immediately ordered the Military Aircraft Department to formulate a huge plan to capture Yanzhou, and he wanted to eat Yanzhou in one bite.
Several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department quickly convened all the personnel of the Military Aircraft Department to discuss.
Since Sima Yi and Cui Jun had obtained Liu Yu's permission to enter the Military Aircraft Department to discuss the matter this time, the two young people were quite excited.
The Military Aircraft Department is the highest authority of the entire imperial court set up by Liu Yu, and its existence has made the former three princes and nine kings become a kind of glory, rather than a position of real power, for example, the current Yang Biao, although he is ranked among the three princes, but he has no real power at all.
After Sima Yi and Cui Jun stepped into the Military Aircraft Department, they never imagined that such a simple room was actually an institution for dealing with military affairs.
In the Military Aircraft Department, Sima Yi and Cui Jun are both small people, and they are standing in a corner with each other very well. It is impossible to sit, that is the treatment only of the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Associate Military Aircraft, and the Military Aircraft Department does not have so many chairs for the two of them to sit.
As the leader of the Military Aircraft Department, General Huang Zhong, one of the three giants, said: "Everyone is here, let's start." ”
"Obey the orders of the great general!" Others chimed in.
"Your Majesty has a decree to let the Military Aircraft Department formulate a plan to attack Yanzhou, and everyone in the Military Aircraft Department can speak freely, so be sure to come up with a plan within today!" Huang Zhong said solemnly.
Fu Zhu first said: "Our army has formed a situation of encirclement of Yanzhou on all sides, and the situation of our army is very good, and it is not a problem to take Yanzhou." ”
"You can order Ma Chao's troops to send troops from Daliang City to confront Cao's army. Ma Chao has been in Yanzhou for too long, and it's time for a breakthrough. Chen Gong said.
"Xuzhou Xiapi City has been captured, Beihai and other places can transport grain and grass to go, let Guan Yu and Zhao Yun repair and march to the east of Yanzhou!" Tian Feng said what he thought.
"Ordered Zhang Liao to go to Jizhou, lead 30,000 elite soldiers, cross the Yellow River and land in Dongjun. Zhang Liao had been entrenched in Dongjun before, and this matter was the most suitable for him. Huang Zhong continued. The embarrassed Feng Xian should not be idle, let him lead the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou to kill directly to the hinterland of Yanzhou, as the main attack force this time. ”
As Lu Bu's father-in-law, Huang Zhong is still good to Lu Bu, and handed over the most important task to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu can better make military achievements.
Except for Sima Yi and Cui Jun, everyone else expressed their thoughts and suggestions. After many discussions, the Military Aircraft Department finally came up with a major plan.
This raid on Yanzhou is mainly divided into four parts.
In the first part, Ma Chao's department was the main offensive force in the western part of Yanzhou.
In the second part, Zhang Liao was the main general, and Xin was rated as the staff officer of the army, leading 30,000 elite soldiers and 100 warships, crossing the Yellow River to kill the back of Yanzhou, infiltrating Dongjun, and threatening Puyang City, the core of Yanzhou.
In the third part, Lu Bu was the main general, and Xin Bi was the staff officer of the army, leading the main force of the wolf cavalry of the state and attacking the inland of Yanzhou with all his might.
In the fourth part, with Guan Yu and Zhao Yun as the core, after stabilizing Xiapi, launched an attack on the eastern part of Yanzhou.
Chen Gong, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng are responsible for all logistics and transportation and other matters, and all military orders are subject to the orders of the Military Aircraft Department and Liu Yu, and no one is allowed to delay or interfere. Liu Yu's orders overrode the military aircraft.
At this point, the plan to attack Yanzhou has been preliminarily finalized.
Cui Jun listened carefully to all the arrangements and suggestions, and his heart was excited. This is the real strategy, how lucky he Cui Jun is to be able to listen to the actions and strategies of many wise men here, as if opening the door of another layer, which makes Cui Jun intoxicated.
Unlike Cui Jun, Sima Yi didn't have any expression after listening to all the arrangements, he had thought about what plans the Military Aircraft Department would have before he came, and the final result was similar to Sima Yi's estimate. It's just that there is another point that the Military Aircraft Department has not discovered, and Sima Yi doesn't know whether he wants to bring it up or not. But it has always been a low-key character, which makes Sima Yi want to speak and stop.
Chen Gong has been paying attention to the performance of Sima Yi and Cui Jun, seeing Cui Jun's excited face, Chen Gong is very pleased, and he also hopes that Cui Jun can learn more and grow up as soon as possible.
Although Sima Yi's face was expressionless, he seemed to be struggling between his eyebrows and eyes, Chen Gong suddenly felt puzzled in his heart and asked, "Zhongda, what do you think?" ”
