Chapter 67: Arrogant and Treacherous, Forcibly Sending Troops (I)
"Celebrate today, don't get drunk and don't go home - everyone wins!"
"Catch the wind and wash the dust, get drunk and rest - another drink!"
…………
On the Linjiang platform, the staggered bargains, the singing and dancing continued, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very strong, but after careful observation, it was found that the ministers raised their wine glasses and slogans were loud, but no one really drank it, some of them stopped dipping their lips, and some poured into their arms!
Everyone knows in their hearts that in addition to celebrating the success with wine today, there must be important things to discuss and decide Cao Jun's next step, so no one dares to get drunk, so as not to be confused!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cao Cao put down the golden cup in his hand and repelled the singer, musician, and cook...... A group of idle people waited for the tiger and leopard to ride to block the inside and outside of the hall, and then announced a big event:
"The nine counties of Jingzhou have been obtained, and there is only one Jiangxia County left, which is still in the hands of the big-eared thief, Liu Bei has the ambition of a hero, and is assisted by Kong Ming, Xu Shu and others, if it is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a big disaster in the future!
The old man is ready to do his best to advance eastward along the Yangtze River, capture the big-eared thief, seize Jiangxia County, and then deter the six counties of Jiangdong, what do you think? ”
As soon as Cao Cao's remarks came out, it caused a great reaction, and the civil and military ministers turned their eyes, all considering the pros and cons of eastward expansion, because there was accurate information that after Liu Bei retreated to Jiangxia County, he formed a military alliance with the Sun family!
In other words, once Cao's army marched eastward, it would not only face Liu Bei's remnants of the defeated army, but also Jiangdong's tiger and wolf army, so the situation would be much more complicated!
The Sun family has occupied the six counties of Jiangdong for nearly ten years, under the management of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, the government is harmonious, the top and bottom are united, the money and grain in the treasury are piled up, and the soldiers in the military camp are strong and strong, which is far from being comparable to the rotten Jingzhou group!
The 80,000 elites of the Jiangdong Army were stationed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, set up two large villages on water and land, with thousands of warships, cutting off the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu, who commanded the army, was a famous general with both civil and military skills!
What's more, Liu Bei fled to Jiangxia County, joined forces with Liu Qi, constantly recruited troops and horses, and also had forty or fifty thousand soldiers, and the Jiangdong Army was a horn and watched each other, so Cao Jun really fought over, and he might not be able to take advantage?
In the midst of contemplation, four attendants came out of the apse, carrying a huge map, on which the six counties of Jiangdong were marked: the terrain of mountains and rivers, the city passes, and the deployment of troops...... It's quite detailed!
This is during Pang Tong's travels, personally investigated, drawn, named 'Jiangdong strategy map', and Cao Cao after the meeting, as his own gift!
At the beginning, Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, Kong Ming presented the map of Xichuan, and the strategy of dividing the world into three parts, and now Pang Tong presents the map of Jiangdong and the strategy of the army's eastward expansion, which can be described as a reflection before and after, and it is equal!
Next, under Cao Cao's signal, Pang Tong walked to the side of the map and began to tell the strategic plan he had set to attack Jiangxia and Ping Jiangdong.
"Liu Bei is entrenched in Jiangxia County, Zhou Yu is stationed at the mouth of the three rivers, the two echo each other from afar, and it is indeed difficult to deal with the danger of guarding the Yangtze River, but there are three reasons why our army must move eastward:
First, when our army entered Jiangling, Zhou Yu'er was bold and dared to send troops to attack Danjiangkou, intending to cut off the army's grain route.
Second, since Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, he bullied his widowed sister-in-law and nephews, killed his brothers in the same clan, and took deep precautions against Zhou Yu.
Third, the prime minister waved his army to the south, has destroyed the Jingzhou group, as long as the six counties of Jiangdong are lowered, the hearts of the people in the world will inevitably vibrate, all times do not need soldiers, horses, swords and guns, Hanzhong, Chengdu can be passed on to the decide, so Jiangdong must be killed!
Therefore, I suggest the following: exhaust the main force of our army, advance along the Yangtze River by land and water, enter the territory of Jiangxia County in one fell swoop, and first annihilate the main force of the Sun and Liu coalition forces in the areas of Chibi, Xiling, and Sanjiangkou, and then sweep away the six counties of Jiangdong!
Jiangling County has a wide range of money and food, and can use the Yangtze River waterway to continuously transport supplies to ensure that the army has no worries, and if everything goes well, it will be able to triumph next summer at the latest! ”
Pang Tong pointed to the map, and what he said was reasonable, well-founded, and modest...... His debauchery and uninhibited style actually has a bit of a shadow of 'ghost talent', Cao Cao's heart was full of joy when he listened, and everyone who listened nodded frequently, which can be regarded as recognizing this Mr. Feng Xiao!
However, there are also resourceful people who have heard it, what Pang Tong said is very reasonable, but he ignores an important factor, that is, the situation of the Cao Ying Group, whether it can continue to fight!
Since Cao's army went south, he suffered a defeat in Nanyang County, and then the battle of Changbanpo ended in a tragic victory, with nearly 100,000 men and horses lost before and after, and the generals Cao Ren and Zhang He were seriously injured and have not yet recovered!
What's even more terrifying, Cao Jun is all athletes in the north, and he is not satisfied with the water and soil in the south, so there are many sick people, and there are many who vomit and die alive.
In addition, Cao's army has more than 400,000 horses, consuming countless grains and grass every day, and the pressure on logistics supply is extremely great, and the people of the Central Plains are deeply suffering, especially in Hebei, there have been several civil uprisings, and if they continue to oppress, I am afraid they will rebel!
As for the Jingzhou area, the situation has not yet stabilized, and the people's hearts have not been attached, and in a short period of time, it will not be able to become a logistics base to provide food, grass, and soldiers for the army!
To make an analogy: Cao Jun is a greedy snake, constantly devouring his own kind, strengthening himself, and later devouring the four states of Hebei, but not fully digested it, and swallowed Jingzhou in one bite, and ended up holding himself up!
Now the best way is to lie motionless on your stomach, slowly digest the food, and transform it into sufficient physical strength, so that you can turn into a giant python and travel in space!
On the contrary, regardless of their actual situation, if they drag their bulging abdomen and continue to devour their prey, they will either die of exhaustion, or their stomachs will burst and die, turning into a dead python and being eaten by other snakes!
"Brush! --Brush! ”
The civil and military ministers gestured and handed over their eyes, most of them agreed that it was not appropriate to make a big move now, and it was the best policy to recuperate the war wounds and recover their vitality!
After three or five years, Hebei and Jingzhou were digested cleanly, and the naval army was also trained, and then went down the river to take the six counties of Jiangdong, even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan used their strength to eat, they couldn't stop Cao's soldiers!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yi, hoping that he would come forward, refute Pang Tong's 'Eastern Offensive Strategy', and advise the prime minister to stop his troops for the time being, so that the soldiers can take a breath!
But everyone waited for a long time, but Xiao Yi didn't move, just drank one by one, and didn't make a single word of evaluation of Pang Tong's eastward offensive strategy!
Xiao Yi naturally knew that with the current situation of Cao Jun, it was not suitable to attack the Jiangdong Group, and Xiao Yi also knew that Pang Tong's eastward offensive strategy was not a sincere matter of Cao, but a harbor of evil!
Xiao Yi knew even more that what really prompted the tired division to go east together regardless of it was not Pang Tong's rhetoric, but Cao Cao's impatient heart, the traitorous male who was already old and weak, wanted to complete the great cause of unifying the world in his lifetime!
Therefore, no matter how Xiao Yi opposes, Cao Cao will not listen, but will deepen the rift between the two sides, giving people the opportunity to sow discord, it is better to choose silence and wait and see the development of the situation!
Xiao Yi was silent, the ministers did the same, and the hall became silent, which made Pang Tong, who had just made a generous statement and was bent on proving his ability, fall into an embarrassing situation!
I thought that as soon as the eastern attack came out, Xiao Yi would definitely oppose it desperately, and he would be able to argue with him and take the opportunity to stir up relations and deepen the contradictions between Xiao and Cao!
I didn't expect that I had worked hard to design, and people didn't accept the call at all, and the feeling of punching the air was very uncomfortable, Pang Tong had no choice but to retreat behind Cao Cao, and he secretly held back!
"Since the southern expedition of the army, the soldiers have fought bloodily, and the casualties have been quite heavy, and because of the unaccustomed water and soil, the number of sick people has increased day by day, which has indeed affected some combat effectiveness!
However, the old man has four or five hundred thousand horses, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and there is enough food and grass, and the morale is high.
What's more, Zhou Yu stationed troops at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, eyeing Jingzhou, rather than waiting for the enemy to kill, it is better to kill the killer first, and take advantage of the fact that his camp is not consolidated and his foothold is not stable, and send troops to wipe it out in one fell swoop! ”
Seeing that there was a cold scene, Cao Cao could only go out in person, using his high prestige and unrivaled power to forcibly promote the eastward offensive strategy, and strive to complete the dream of unifying the world in the shortest possible time!
"Shi Yuan's eastward offensive strategy, what does Xiao Lang think, if there is anything inappropriate, just bring it up!"
"Hehe--Mr. Feng Xiao is high-minded, the last general has no opinion, it's just that the last general's men and horses have just returned from the crusade against Changsha, and the soldiers are tired, can you send it out a few days later?"
Xiao Yi is not against going east, but he will not bury his own family, and trying to preserve his strength is the first priority.
"In this case, the old man personally led the front army, Xiao Lang sat in the rear army, and the people and horses went down the river, advancing by land and water, and fighting to the death with Sun and Liu Er!"
