Chapter 726: The Old Seniors' Dissatisfaction
Wei Yan has guarded Jingzhou for many years, and although he is still young, he has been regarded as a veteran by the world.
Not to mention Lu Meng, the surprise attack on the battle of Xiakou became famous in one battle.
If these two people are left to guard Jingzhou, even if Guan Yu is conceited and arrogant, he will be more or less jealous, and he will definitely leave heavy troops in Baidi Pass.
Lu Xun is different.
Su Zhe knew that Lu Xun was talented, but in the eyes of the world, Lu Xun was just a fledgling young general, and he was only reused by Su Zhe because of Jianye's surrender in the First World War.
With Lu Xun to guard Jingzhou, not only Guan Yu, but also those generals of the Great Wei State will despise him a lot.
What Su Zhe wanted was Guan Yu's contempt for Lu Xun, so Guan Yu would definitely relax his vigilance against the White Emperor Pass, which would give him the opportunity to take him by surprise.
The strategists and generals present were not general, and they immediately understood Su Zhe's intentions, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
At this time, Jia Xu said again: "Your Majesty can indeed paralyze Guan Yu with Lu Xun guarding Jingzhou, but the minister feels that this is not enough, the minister still has a plan here, which can contain Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, and manage his subordinates, so that he will be able to succeed." ”
"Wenhe still has a clever plan? Let's go ahead. ”
"The minister's strategy is like this......"
……
The next day, Yi took Su Zhe's holy decree and traveled south to Yangzhou under the stars, and went to Huiji County to transfer Lu Xun, who supervised the production of sea ships, to Jingzhou.
Shipbuilding is a long-term plan, and naturally it cannot be stopped, but at present, attacking Yizhou is the primary task, and Lu Xun can only let go of his hand first.
As soon as the Yi nationality set off, Su Zhe began to make arrangements for the capture of Yizhou
In the first step, Su Zhe first put out the banner of going west to conquer and destroy the Han Dynasty, so that the army and people of the world and Liu Bei knew that Su Zhe was ready to do something to him.
What's more, if Su Zhe wants to make a move against Liu Bei, he will definitely raise troops to mobilize the country and mobilize nationwide, and it will definitely not be able to hide it, so it is better to announce it generously.
Immediately afterwards, Su Zhe began to continuously transfer troops and horses and transport grain and grass in Luoyang, Nanyang and Hedong counties.
These three places are aimed at Tongguan, Wuguan and Puban Pass, which are dangerous, and Su Zhe's intention to increase troops in these three places is naturally obvious.
Among them, the soldiers and horses of Luoyang, Su Zhe has gathered 100,000 people, and it is clear that he wants to take Tongguan as the direction of the main attack.
As soon as this news was released, the grain and grass of the armies in various states moved, and the Han Kingdom, which was densely spread in the Central Plains, immediately sent the changes in various places to Chang'an City quickly.
Through all kinds of intelligence, Liu Bei was able to deduce that Su Zhe was planning to launch an offensive against him from the Central Plains.
What Su Zhe wanted was for Liu Bei to make such a judgment, so that Liu Bei's main force could only gather on the east line of Chang'an, and even a part of Yizhou's troops would be transferred to reinforce it.
In this way, Liu Bei can relax the police state of Yizhou, and he can let Lu Xun use his strategy.
As a result, the holy decree was handed down, and the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Great Wei rekindled their fighting spirit and acted according to their plans.
On the north road, Xu Huangwen, the second general, gathered nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops came to Hedong County, and put on a posture that he was going to cross the Yellow River west and attack Puban Pass.
On the front line of Nanyang County in the south, the 50,000 troops commanded by Wen Ping and Ju Yi also set out from Wancheng and arrived at Wuguan, intending to launch an attack on Liu Bei's newly built "Shangluo Pass" from Wuguan.
On the front line of Luoyang in the middle, Su Zhe gathered an army of 100,000 troops, gathered Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Tai Shici, Deng Ai, Zhang Xiu, Han Dang and many other generals, and put on a posture of attacking Tongguan from the middle.
The three armies were in place, and after waiting for the grain and grass to be gathered, they were going to launch a full-scale attack on the Han State.
In addition, Su Zhe also deployed nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jinyang and Jicheng, commanded by generals such as Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and Cheng Pu, to guard against the Huns, Xianbei and other Hu, and prevent them from colluding with Liu Bei to invade the south while his army was attacking Guanzhong.
In addition to the northern border, Su Zhe also left a small number of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong and began to besiege the Shanyue people who refused to go out of the mountains and surrender.
In Guiyang, Jingnan, on the first line of Lingling Second County, Su Zhe also left nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard against the threat from Zhou Yu from Jiaozhou.
As for the front line in Jiaozhou, Su Zhe didn't pay attention to it at all, and he never left troops to guard against it all year round.
But not long ago, Su Zhe got information that Zhou Yu had fled to Jiaozhou, and after the fall of Jiangdong, many Jiangdong heroes who refused to surrender fled to Jiaozhou one after another to defect to Zhou Yu, which greatly increased Zhou Yu's strength for a while.
As a result, Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation to launch a war against the indigenous heroes of Jiaozhou, and won successive battles, and had the posture of unifying Jiaozhou.
Su Zhe, the native tyrant in Jiaozhou, could ignore it, but Zhou Yu couldn't ignore it, so he had to leave nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses to prevent it.
In addition to these soldiers and horses, Su Zhe also left nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in the three capitals of Yecheng, Luoyang and Jianye, as well as key passes in various parts of the world, to ensure the stability of the Great Wei.
These soldiers and horses alone add up to nearly 450,000, plus the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Great Wei has reached 500,000.
And this time, Su Zhe will concentrate nearly 300,000 troops to sweep away the Han State and dominate the world.
The soldiers and horses are gathering one after another, and the illusion of attacking the east and west has been created, Su Zhe is not in a hurry to do it, and only in the palace of Luoyang City every day, he seizes the time to "soothe" his concubines, and waits for Lu Xun in Jingzhou to move Guan Yu first.
The Wei State was already carrying out a national mobilization, and the Han State naturally did not dare to be idle.
Liu Bei had already prepared for Su Zhe's attack, and under the proposal of Zhuge Liang and others, he quickly gathered nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses, and deployed them in Tongguan, Shangluo Pass and Puban Pass.
For a time, the two Han countries were boiling up and down, and the war in the north seemed to be about to break out.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the front line of Tongguan, but Su Zhe's thoughts had already drifted to distant Jingzhou.
In the late winter and early spring of that year, Lu Xun finally went to Yiling to take office as the Taishou of Nanjun and the military governor of Jingzhou.
On the first day of taking office, Lu Xun reduced the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yiling to 8,000, and transferred the rest back to Jiangling.
Lu Xun's move aroused the opposition of many generals such as Gan Ning, Huang Gai, and Ling Tong.
Needless to say, Gan Ning is a general with the old qualifications of the Great Wei, and now he is even a general after being appointed as an official, and his official position alone is a cut above Lu Xun, the general of Anxi.
In terms of official position, Gan Ning was above Lu Xun, but because Lu Xun had the power to supervise the military of Jingzhou during the holiday, Gan Ning had to obey Lu Xun's command.
As for Ling Tong, Huang Gai and other generals, although they are Jiangdong generals like Lu Xun, they were originally famous generals, and they were much more famous than Lu Xun when they were in Jiangdong.
Now, these "old seniors", seeing that Lu Xun, a hairy boy, is trusted by the Son of Heaven and has become their top peak, they are already unconvinced.
As soon as Lu Xun took office, he immediately reduced the troops and horses of Yiling, disrupting the original deployment set by Wei Yan and Lu Meng, and it was strange that they could be subdued.
"Lu Dudu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this!"
In the military government, Gan Ning was the first to stand up and openly question Lu Xun's decision.
