Chapter 37 Take the initiative and attack Danjiangkou!
"Zhuge Kongming, a man of the mountains and wilderness, wrote to the Metropolitan Governor - Mr. Gong Jin: Cao's army marched south, the soldiers were sharp, and it was difficult to defeat him, Gong Jin was a person who knew the soldiers, and he would inevitably avoid the real attack and send troops to attack his back road, which was a good way to break the Jingzhou dilemma!
However, the logistics and supplies of Cao's army were all arranged by Xiao Yi, this person is as cunning as a fox, and he must have a backup move, so Wang Jun is cautious and cautious...... Last night's ensemble on the moon, people will never forget, if he has the opportunity, he is willing to drink with Jun Linjiang, and then be a bosom friend! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Kong Ming left a letter, and then said goodbye without saying goodbye, a wonderful piano showdown, of course, it was impressed by Zhou Yu, but also exposed his skills, if you don't leave early, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!
For the genius of the world, the attitude of the princes is almost the same, that is, they want to try all kinds of ways to collect it for their own use, but they can't accept it, only to kill the killer, so as not to be used by others!
This time he sent an envoy to the six counties of Jiangdong, first to fight the Confucianism and surprise the four people, and then persuaded Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to reach an alliance to resist Cao, his mission has been completed, and it is time to return to Jingzhou as soon as possible!
The lord of his own family suffered another defeat, not to mention the loss of Xiangyang City, and was chased in all directions, and now the soldiers enter Jiangling City, there must be a vicious battle, although Xu Shu is proficient in strategy, after all, it is difficult to sing alone, and he wants to help!
However, Kong Ming also knows that he is good at strategy and proficient in diplomacy, but he is not good at military command, and he does not have a single soldier under his command, even if he rushes to Changbanpo and Gangneung City, it will not make a big difference!
Therefore, take a boat against the current and go straight to Jiangxia County along the Yangtze River, the eldest prince Liu Qi has tens of thousands of horses, and he is friendly with his own lord, so let him send troops to respond, which is the best help!
In addition, there is news that a friend of mine is visiting relatives in Jiangxia County, this person has a clear appearance, but he is a commander, if he can persuade him to come out and jointly assist his own lord, that is the dragon and phoenix together, invincible in the world!
"Boom! -Boom! -Boom! β
"The Metropolitan Governor gathers the troops! --The Metropolitan Governor gathers the troops! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside the camp of the Chaisang camp - the Chinese army, dozens of drums were beating at the same time -- as fast as wind and rain, like thunder, and a red handsome flag with the word "Zhou" was also swaying from side to side......
Hearing the sound of the drums of the generals, the camp suddenly boiled, the infantry wore helmets and armor, lined up neatly, the naval army cut the cables, lifted the anchor and raised the sails, all ready for battle, and the generals were even more scattered, going straight to the big tent of the Chinese army!
"We are waiting to pay homage to the Metropolitan Governor - majestic and heroic, unparalleled in the world!"
"Excuse meβsit down!"
"No!"
Zhou Yu wears a phoenix bead gold helmet, wears a tiger head chain armor, holds a Zhan Lu sword, and sits on the tiger skin handsome seat, which has both the elegance of a scribe and the heroic posture of a military general, which makes people can't help but be impressed!
Then look at both sides of the big tent: Lu Su, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Pan Zhang, Lu Meng, Ding Feng, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng...... or magnificent, or majestic, all of them are Jiangdong heroes!
In the Chaisang camp, there are 40,000 infantry, 10,000 horse troops, and 30,000 sailors, all of whom are well-trained soldiers, and there are thousands of warships, and there are countless ordnance, grain and grass, and half of the backbone of the Jiangdong Group are gathered here!
"Cao's army marched south, the troops were unstoppable, and seized the land of several counties in Jingzhou, Liu Biao died of illness in Xiangyang, and Liu Bei fled in panic...... The ancients said: The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, each other is the inside and the outside, once the nine counties of Jingzhou are not guaranteed, the Cao thief will move eastward, and what about the six counties in Jiangdong?
Therefore, the governor of this city decided: take the initiative to attack, enter Jingzhou, Sun and Liu join forces, and fight against Cao thieves, not only to protect the six counties of Jiangdong unharmed, but also to avenge the rebellious general, and strive to cut off Xiao Yi's head - sacrifice to the heroic spirit, a shame!
If the lord is to blame, the governor will bear it, and it has nothing to do with all of you here, I don't know if you are willing to help me? β
Although this is in line with strategic needs, it is contrary to Sun Quan's order to 'defend Chaisang and resist Cao's army', and the generals are also facing the problem of standing in line, whether to listen to the governor or the lord!
"I'm willing to listen to the orders of the Governor of Dadu - soldiers enter Jingzhou and take revenge!"
There was almost no hesitation, the generals drew their swords and resolutely supported the decision to send troops, on the one hand: many people are Sun Ce's old department, and they have the grace to promote their acquaintances, in order to avenge the old master, everyone naturally does not hesitate!
On the other hand, the rule in the army is to look at personal ability and prestige, compared with Zhou Yu, who is both civil and military, and has outstanding military achievements, Sun Quan has no decent merits, so it is naturally difficult to convince the public!
Not to mention sending troops without authorization, even if Zhou Yu rebelled, most people would follow, this is on the battlefield, a friendship fought with a knife and a gun, cutting off the head for life, extremely deep!
Since it has been decided to send troops, the next step is to arrange the troops, and this battle is weak and strong, and we must be cautious, resourceful, brave, and united...... Only then can you win!
A huge map was raised, on which there were the geographical situation and dangerous passes of Jiangdong, Huainan, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, which Zhou Yu spent countless manpower and financial resources and spent more than three years to accurately depict it, and it was also the embodiment of his unified strategy:
First take Jiangdong as the foundation, take the Huainan counties in the north, establish a solid Jianghuai defense line, and then take Jingzhou and Yizhou in the west, divide the land south of the Yangtze River, and form a confrontation with the Cao family in the south and north!
Once the time is ripe, send troops from Huainan, Jingzhou, and Hanzhong at the same time, and make a three-way northern expedition to the Central Plains, eliminate the Cao regime, and complete the great task of unifying the world!
This is a grand strategy conceived by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu for countless nights many years ago, but they didn't think that as soon as they took the first step, Sun Ce fell halfway, and the rest of the road was extremely difficult, could Zhou Yu go down alone?
At the same time, the attendants were on the giant map, standardizing the situation of the forces of all parties, as well as the deployment of troops, Cao Jun was the strongest, Jiangdong was the second, and Liu Bei was the weakest...... There are also countless pieces of information, which have also been passed on:
In the ninth year of Jian'an, on the fourth day of October, Cao Mengde entered Xiangyang City, set up a banquet for wine, rewarded soldiers, and then counted the number of household registration and treasury, and led Jingzhou pastor himself!
On the fifth day of the first month of October, Cao Cao met with the officials, gate lords, and celebrities in Xiangyang, appeased his heart with kind words, and exempted the people from paying taxes for one year......
On the sixth day of October, I heard that Liu Biao was dead, Liu Bei fled, Xiangyang City fell into the hands of Cao Jun, and the general who adhered to Zhangling County - Wen Ping, raised the white flag, opened the city and surrendered to Cao, and the rest of the cities also chose to surrender, so far Nan County, Nanyang County, Xiangyang County, and Zhangling County all fell into the hands of Cao Jun!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Cao Thief has taken the four northern counties, and he will inevitably move south, encircle and annihilate Liu Bei's men and horses, and then take Jiangling City, and plot the four counties of Guiyang, Changsha, Lingling, and Wuling in the south!
The key now is the battle of Changbanpo, if Liu Bei rushes over - from then on the trapped dragon ascends to heaven, if he can't rush over - he will die without a place to be buried, and it is not easy to escape from the hands of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang! β
Zhou Yu's eyes were like electricity, staring closely at Changbanpo, Sun and Liu had formed an alliance, and now that the allies were in difficulty, they should reach out and pull a hand, but they also had to pay attention to a strategy!
Jiangdong's 80,000 horses and horses are also a lot of force, compared with the 400,000 Cao army, that is a small thing, this amount of troops is invested in the battlefields of Changbanpo and Jiangling City, not only can not save Liu Bei, but he will also get in!
However, although the strength of the Cao army is strong, it also has a weakness, that is, the whole army is all going south, and the rear is a little empty, Zhou Yu's gaze moves and falls on one place - Danjiangkou!
The Danjiang Estuary is located in the Han River, the upper reaches, the water network is all over, the shipping is convenient, the wharves are everywhere, after the Cao army went south, most of the grain and grass are hoarded here, and the fleet is constantly supplied to the front, which is the lifeline of hundreds of thousands of horses!
Cao Cao is accustomed to robbing people's grain and grass, and naturally attaches great importance to his rear, and arranges countless beacon towers along the upper and lower reaches of the Han River.
In addition, whether it is Liu Beijun or Jiangdong Army, if you want to reach the mouth of the Danjiang River, you must pass through Xiangyang City and go up against the Han River.
"Lu Su, Lu Meng, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng listened to the order, and you led half of the soldiers, horses, and ships to go up the river and camp at the mouth of the three rivers, and built two large camps on water and land, deep ditches and high bases, and more grain and grass, so that the Cao army did not dare to advance eastward!
The rest of the soldiers and soldiers went to the Danjiang Estuary with me, attacked the rear of the Cao army, burned them all, and hundreds of thousands of horses had no food, so they were defeated without a fight! β
"No!"
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and made the decision to sneak attack the rear, as for the battlefield of Changbanpo, let the Cao and Liu armies fight to the death, it is best to lose both!
This plan can be called exquisite, and it can be reversed, the only thing that makes people depressed is that he thought of this plan, Kong Ming also thought of it, will others also think of it?
Please support the genuine version, and the baron also has to support his family......
