Chapter 556: Finally to Chibi!
Sun Jian thought for a while, and said, "I hope to go down and raise the wrong part of the grain and grass to be transported to Qu'a!" ”
"Yes!" Cheng Pu clenched his fists and promised.
"Father, do we really want to give Qu A to Liu Qi?" Sun Ce asked unwillingly.
Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce and said extremely solemnly: "We now have a common enemy with Liu Qi, and that is Cao Cao!" When 8/10 of them are occupied by Cao Cao today, and their strength is extremely strong, we must unite all the forces that can be combined! In addition, Liu Qi is known as inheriting the orthodox pole, which is just right for my Sun family! ”
Sun Jian was also very hesitant at first about whether to let Liu Qi enter his territory for refuge, but Sun Jian is not a person without foresight, he knows very well that there are fewer and fewer people who fight against Cao Cao today, and Liu Qi is a staunch anti-Cao faction because of his identity and his prime minister, plus Liu Qi's army is almost wiped out, and he can't make any waves in Jiangdong, his own territory, and at the same time, Liu Qi's identity and Zhuge Liang's wisdom are all he can borrow!
It is precisely because of this consideration that Sun Jian finally let Liu Qi enter Jiangdong for refuge, and at the same time temporarily lent Qu A to Liu Qi's monarchs, of course, this is also because Sun Jian is still the king of Wu, and he still holds the banner of the Han family on the surface, if Sun Jian becomes the emperor of Wu, then Liu Qi has no strength, no matter how useful Sun Jian will not let him enter Jiangdong, after all, there is no two days!
These considerations are all Sun Jian's own, Sun Ce didn't understand at all, afraid of Sun Ce's bad nature, Sun Jian paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "Ce'er, don't make trouble for your father!" ”
Sun Ce solemnly clenched his fists and said, "Father." The child understands! ”
Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction.
At that moment, a scout ran in from outside. The report reads: "Your Majesty, there has just been news from Xizuo. A detachment of Wei headed west! ”
Sun Jian frowned, and asked urgently, "How many people are there?" ”
"About 50,000! It's all pawns! ”
Sun Jian hurriedly walked to the map, his fingers slid from the Hengjiang River to the west, and finally landed on the location of Jingzhou, and said suspiciously: "What does Cao Cao want to do nearby?" ”
It's no wonder that Sun Jian can't figure it out, after all, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a battle that has been fought to the point of white heat, and the enemy army has gone to another place to open another battlefield!
Of course, if Zhou Yu, the Metropolitan Governor, was here, maybe he would soon understand. After all, when it comes to the battle of the sailor, Zhou Yu has amazing talent and intuition.
It's a pity that this Mei Zhoulang has already been suspected and suspicious by Sun Jian because of his stupidity in the political position in the past, and has been put in the rear, which is called Gongwei Rear!
Sun Jian's doubts, Ma Chao, who led the 50,000 foot soldiers of the Fifth Army to leave the Hengjiang camp, of course would not understand, after leaving the camp, Ma Chao led the soldiers of the Fifth Army to the west.
A day later, we arrived at Lujiang. After a little trimming, we continued westward.
After the 50,000 foot soldiers led by Ma Chao arrived in Jiangling to meet the Jingzhou sailors who were waiting here, Sun Jian finally got the emergency flying pigeon transmission from Chaisang, and finally understood what the Wei army that left not long ago wanted!
Although he was shocked by Cao Cao's way of fighting on another battlefield, Sun Jian was not a hero of a generation. Shocked but not confused, while continuing to stare at the Wei army camp opposite, the two rooms ordered the sailors in the land of Chaisang to gather immediately. It is necessary to block the southward movement of the Wei army, and the place set by Sun Jian. It's Chibi!
Of course, this is not that Sun Jian suddenly has the memory of later generations or anything, it is completely because the place of Chibi is the most suitable place for the army to cross the river in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. If the Wei army wants to go south, the first thing they face is Chibi!
When Ma Chao led the army to converge with the Jingzhou Naval Division, he launched an attack without the slightest stop, but it is a pity that the Jingzhou Naval Division is really a little stronger than the common people, which is why Cao Cao has not let them fight!
The record of the Jingzhou Navy Division for two consecutive days can be said to make the commander accustomed to the Wei army, which is the most elite army today, Ma Chao's brows furrowed tightly, and on the third day, Wu Guo Chaisang Taishou, who was ordered by Sun Jian, finally gathered all the sailors in Chaisang and deployed with Chibi to prevent Ma Chao!
Ma Chao had no choice but to lead 50,000 foot soldiers to set up a camp opposite Chibi, and the Jingzhou Navy built a water village on the river.
The battle clouds on the river of Chibi were thick, and the armies of both sides were tense.
Hengjiang Wei army camp.
"Just now Meng Qi sent a message saying that the sailors of Wu State and Chaisang and other places have converged and deployed in Chibi, and now Meng Qi is leading an army of nearly 100,000 Chen soldiers on land and water in Chibi!" Cao Cao raised his voice.
The generals under the tent talked in a whisper, and of course there was no lack of dissatisfaction, helplessness and contempt for the fatigue of the Jingzhou sailors.
Cao Cao, who had already been completely disappointed in the Jingzhou Sailors, also ignored Ma Chaoxin's complaint against the Jingzhou Sailors, after all, after this battle, the army founded by Liu Biao in the past was almost over.
Cao Cao turned his head and asked Xu Shu on the side: "Yuan Zhi, what should we do if you see the current situation?" ”
Xu Shu pondered: "Your Majesty, I originally wanted General Ma to go south from Jiangling, but I didn't expect to be blocked by the Wu State Water Division, and now it is difficult for our army to open up the situation here, and the summer flood has come!" It is better to transfer the main force to the direction of Chibi, and only leave two legions and sailors here to contain the army of Wu State! ”
Cao Cao frowned, glanced at the rain draining from Zhejiang outside the big tent, and looked thoughtful.
The generals who were talking in a whisper noticed Cao Cao's expression, and they all quieted down and watched Cao Cao quietly.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao asked Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, is there no other way?" ”
Xu Shu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Our army's sailors can't defeat the Wu Guoshui division, it's really overwhelming!" ”
Then he saluted Cao Cao and said: "Your Majesty, the plan for now is to use most of the sailors to contain the main force of Sun Jian's sailors, and we will use a small number of sailors to force the Yangtze River from the direction of Chibi!" ”
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, got up and walked to the map shelf, his eyes staring at Chibi and his brows furrowed.
Xu Shu and the other generals gathered behind Cao Cao and waited for Cao Cao's decision.
Cao Cao thought to himself: "I am not Cao Cao above history, why are I afraid to go to Chibi!" ”
comforted his Cao Cao well, and when he thought about it, he finally made up his mind!
He punched Chibi in the position and said in a loud voice: "Pass the order, the third and fourth corps will stay in the Hengjiang camp, and the first, second and 50,000 cavalry will immediately march west!" ’
"Order!" The herald clenched his fists in agreement. (To be continued......)
