Chapter 1002 Soldiers Coming to Eastern Wu
Great Qin conquered Jiaozhou......
Great Qin conquered Yinzhou......
Great Qin conquered the Kushan......
There has never been a king in the East who has been able to boast such feats.
One by one, the good news came, and the people of Daqin were excited.
The famous ministers and good generals of Great Qin were passionate, and their lifelong wish was to follow a wise king and realize their ideal of governing the country and leveling the world. And Emperor Hongwu, with his wisdom and far-sighted strategy of insight into the world, led them to realize it step by step.
However, when the Qin State slowly grew into a huge empire, there was inevitably a small flaw, that is, the land of the old state, which had not yet been truly unified.
The important ministers of the empire are extremely eager for the true unification of the old state at this moment. For they knew how much land they conquered and how great they ruled for the king. If the old states are not unified, there will be a big stain on their merits. At the same time, their ideals will also be crippled.
Qin Feng is the same. He attacked Yinzhou and Jiaozhou because these places did not have much strength, and they just took advantage of the lack of power to grab territory. lest a foreign king suddenly appear in the future, and consume more of his own strength.
And the attacking Guishan is ready to shoot and has to be sent. Fortunately, the monarch and ministers worked together and achieved a great victory over the Kushan Empire.
Emperor Qin Feng, the Hongwu Emperor, was also like his subjects at this moment, extremely eager for a unified China.
Therefore, after returning from Sinju, he did not consider returning to the national capital at all, but went straight to Gangneung. At the same time, he summoned the forces that a qiē was able to muster. I want to use the momentum of thunder to sweep through Soochow. Complete the real unification of the country.
When true unification arrived, Emperor Hongwu would hold the biggest celebration ever in his capital. A celebration of unity. And in the previous battles of unifying the world, the civil servants, military generals, and soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded.
Perhaps, it will be the most grand event in the history of China.
However, this qiē was only an expectation, and Emperor Hongwu also needed to face the tenacious Eastern Wu in the final decisive battle.
Soochow has the third longest river in the world. The Yangtze River, the largest river in Asia, serves as a natural barrier, which is one of the most important reasons why Soochow has survived to this day.
In ancient times, people rarely had the ability to transform the environment on a large scale, so not anywhere on the Yangtze River moat was suitable for large-scale landing operations. In addition, the land-based defense construction of Soochow for many years has been arranged like an iron barrel in the possible landing sites along the Yangtze River. It was necessary to break through the enemy's naval and land-based defenses before it could land. And the small strip, the enemy's boats. The enemy's land-based catapults would have ample firepower advantage, while Qin Feng's large ships would not be able to take advantage of it. Therefore, it is necessary to choose an open water area that is suitable for large ships to exert their power and suitable for landing.
After the study with the military advisors, it is the same as Cao Cao in later generations. Qin Feng chose Chibi.
So, 800,000 troops gathered in Chibi, these well-equipped. A well-trained and battle-hardened soldier. As long as it is put on the ground of Soochow, it can sweep through Soochow. The only thing that needs to be done now. It is to exterminate the Soochow naval army south of Chibi.
In March, Qin Feng built a strong water village in Chibi, and mobilized six huge battleships, fifty building ships, two hundred fighting ships, one thousand ships, and countless other small ships. 300,000 navy troops and 500,000 army troops.
With the army, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong.
Navy generals Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, etc.
Army generals Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Pang De and others.
This was the last battle, and the two major commanders of the Black-clothed Guard and the Intelligence Guard were also present.
The Qin army was at its peak, and there were countless famous ministers and good generals. The people of the whole country are paying attention to this last battle, and they believe that Emperor Hongwu will definitely achieve another brilliant victory, the victory of the united war.
On the other hand, the main hall of Jianye Palace has become a mess.
"Qin Zi is in! 800,000 troops, what to do, what to do! ”
Sun Quan put his hands behind his back, his blue eyes were full of panic, and he shook his purple hair, walking up and down in front of the throne.
A million lions cross the river!
The officials of Dongwu whispered earnestly, and there were many discussions, "Has your family moved?" ”
"I didn't have time yet, I thought that Emperor Hongwu must have lost to some Kushan Empire, but I didn't expect it to win!"
"Then quickly transfer the family property to Yi ......."
"Say it!" At this time, a roar came, and it turned out that Sun Quan did not get a reply, and he was furious in anxiety.
"The emperor is angry......." Baiguan knelt on the ground.
Sun Quan became even more irritable, and said in his heart that you people are good at making money and transferring family property. Is it just that I am going to see the loss of my inheritance......?
At this time, it was still Prime Minister Zhang Zhao who knelt down and played: "Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Governor has already made sufficient defenses in Chibi, and the soldiers in the border strongholds are waiting for him. Even if the Qin army has an absolute advantage, it will not be able to break through the defense line of our army on the Yangtze River. Your Majesty, you also personally inspected it last month, you must ...... It's going to be foolproof. ”
Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, a little relieved, and said, "Lu Xun, Zhang Xiu, Zhu Ran, the three of you go to Chibi to help the general garrison." I sat in Jianye to prevent Hefei and Zhang Liao from crossing the river ....... ”
Lu Xun was not happy when he heard it, and said in his heart that he would send me to Zhou Yu to be angry, and the credit was all his.
However, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, Lu Xun still went out with Zhang Xiu and Zhu Ran, and the three talented people in Jiangnan took the order.
In fact, everyone has already seen that Chibi will be the main direction of attack of the Qin army. If you hold Chibi, you will defend the state of Wu. Therefore, Sun Quan also sent all his forces and generals to strengthen Chibi's defenses. At the same time, he trusted Lu Xun and the three of them very much.
On the other hand, on the south side of Chibi, Dongwu Water Village.
Zhou Yu, the general of Eastern Wu and the governor of the navy, mobilized all his forces to come here. There are 50 building ships, 50 fighting ships, 100 ships, and countless other small boats. Soochow also had many spare ships that were not put to use because of the lack of manpower.
There are 1,000 warriors on the ship, which is 50,000. Fifty bucket ships. Five hundred people per ship, that's twenty-five thousand. A hundred ships. Three hundred each, that's thirty thousand. More than 100,000 troops.
The water village of Soochow is also very large. It occupied more than ten miles of water along the river, completely blocking the landing point behind it. The shore was covered with trebuchets, as if the artillery positions of later generations were aimed in the direction of the enemy.
At this time, Zhou Yu led the twelve tiger ministers of Eastern Wu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and Han Dang. Jiang Qin, Lu Meng, Dong Xi, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Pan Zhang, and Zhu Heng sat on a fighting ship and inspected the entire water village.
The plank roads in the water village are staggered with wooden stakes nailed out of the water. No one who is not familiar with the city can sail in the wall. There are also dense arrow towers, and the soldiers are in high spirits, and they have no fear of the upcoming big battle.
Zhou Yu was very confident, and said to the left and right: "Qin Zijin wants to take away my Eastern Wu." Large-scale landings are needed. Over the years, the Governor of Pontus destroyed various crossings along the river and deployed trebuchet troops. Only this chibi. The water is too large to fill. There is only this red cliff. Qin Zijin was able to send troops to land. We should work together to guard the red cliffs. Protect our Dongwu Yangtze River defense line from losing. Then Qin Zijin has a million male soldiers in the sky, and he can only look at the river and sigh! ”
"May the Governor give orders to protect my Yangtze River defense line!" The generals said together. After so many years, Zhou Yu's prestige in the army has also increased day by day.
Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, in fact, in his heart, he especially wanted to win a big victory.
At this time, the veteran Huang Gai came out and said: "Governor, the Qin warships are not to be feared, but the six battleships are very large, and the water surface of this red cliff is extremely wide, which is just right for it to use, and it must be guarded against." ”
Zhou Yu was also very troubled, he tried his best, and he did not build a battleship. And Daqin's battleships were wrapped in iron sheets, and in the battle of ships, Soochow simply did not have the force to harm it. The huge ballistas on the battleship were able to penetrate the largest building ship in Soochow at will.
Due to the existence of battleships, even if the Qin army only had battleships, in a water battle, Soochow would be completely defeated.
Zhou Yu couldn't think of a way to deal with Qin Feng's battleship, so he also temporarily gave up the possibility of victory, and said: "Although the battleship is huge, it can't face the trebuchets of our army's coastal defense. Our army temporarily held on to the water village and waited for the changes. At this time, Zhou Yu sneered: "If Qin Feng is stationed in the army for ten or eight years, the governor of this capital will also accompany him ......." ”
A million-strong army has been stationed for ten years, and the materials consumed can drag Great Qin to death. The generals of Dongwu laughed, and they were also confident that they would defend the Chibi Water Village.
After another while, Zhou Yu led the generals back to the station on the shore, and after entering the big tent, Zhou Yu ordered everyone to do their duty to guard the area. "There must be no hidden dangers left, and Qin Feng must not be given a chance to sneak attack."
At this moment, a junior colonel walked in and bowed: "The Grand Governor, Deputy Governor Lu Xun and the two generals Zhang Xiu and Zhu Ran are here!" ”
Zhou Yu's elegant face suddenly became gloomy. And the generals are also a little discolored. The heart said that it was amazing, the "three scourges" of Jiangnan are coming!
It turned out that there was Sun Quan back then, and while he was known as the four great talents of Jiangnan, he was also known as the four "scourges" of Jiangnan. Later, Sun Quan became emperor and withdrew from the ranks of scourges. However, the relationship between Lu Xun and others and Sun Quan is different from that of ordinary courtiers. Young, energetic, and talented. With power and talent, he always wants to meddle in affairs everywhere.
There are three major families behind the three of them, and Sun Quan supports them, so they are nicknamed the three "scourges" in Jiangnan.
In fact, Huang Gai and the others also knew in their hearts that these three people were capable, especially Lu Xun. It's just that these people have experienced a hundred battles, and they are all uncles of these three people. was criticized by his old nephew in the past, so he was very disliked. So a lot of times, the old guys don't want to work with the little ones.
And Zhou Yu knows that Lu Xun, this kid, is always thinking about his position as the governor.
While everyone was thinking about it, Lu Xun, the deputy governor of the navy, walked in with the other two "scourges". (To be continued......)
