- Chapter 197 The man who smiled and said nothing
Yangzhou, Ruxukou.
Early spring is approaching, and this battle in the southeast has been going on for about half a year.
Last year, Cao Cao personally led 400,000 infantry and cavalry to rush south from Hefei and drink the Yangtze River. There was only a river between his army and Moling. Cao Cao's army even sneaked across the Yangtze River and occupied Jiangxinzhou.
However, the Wu army under the command of Sun Quan fought back desperately, taking advantage of the naval force, and made several fierce attacks, finally recaptured Jiangxinzhou, and surrounded and killed three thousand Cao's troops.
In the current situation, Cao Jun has no water troops and is in trouble on the Yangtze River. Soochow's navy was powerful, but they did not dare to compete with Cao's army on land. They could only rely on their navy to show off their power on the Yangtze River. Neither side could do anything to the other and could only confront each other across the Yangtze River.
In the early morning of this day, under the protection of the Suwei camp, Cao Cao arrived at the shore in person and once again watched Sun Quan's navy show off its power.
Seeing the huge warships with fluttering flags coming and going freely under his nose, Cao Cao could only look at the river and sigh. He pointed his riding whip in the direction of the Wu ship and said with emotion: "I should give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou, like Liu Jingsheng and others. They are all dogs and dolphins."
Cao Cao obviously expressed such emotion because he couldn't do anything to Sun Quan. All the civil and military officials on the left and right felt ashamed, but only one person smiled slightly, and it was Jia Xu.
Cao Cao had sharp eyes and asked, "Why is Wen He laughing? Am I wrong?"
Jia Xu lightly stroked his white beard, with a faint smile on his fair face, and said calmly: "No matter how strong Sun Zhongmou is, he is only worthy of being the prime minister's son at best."
Cao Cao was startled for a moment, then laughed.
Amid the laughter, a horse came galloping over, lying on the ground and playing: "Please tell me, Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from General Zhengnan."
Cao Cao immediately untied the urgent message sent by Cao Ren and took a look at it. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and a stern look appeared between his eyebrows.
Everyone knows that something must have happened in Jingzhou.
"I'm tired, let's go back to camp first."
Cao Cao's expression immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, he reined in his horse and slowly headed towards the camp.
Everyone in the civil and military circles knew that Cao Cao would have confidential matters to discuss after returning to camp, so they all followed him into the Chinese army's tent.
As expected, as soon as Cao Cao sat down, he showed Cao Ren's message to everyone.
That was news that shocked everyone.
Changsha Liu Feng took advantage of Liu Bei's entry into Shu and Guan Yu's march south to attack Wuxi Man, and successfully raided Jiangling with a surprise force. Cao Ren, the general of the southern expedition, took advantage of the opportunity of Liu Feng and Guan Yu's battle in the south of the Yangtze River to act cheaply and led the Xiangyang army to quickly attack Jiangling southward. .
Because the Jingzhou Incident was too sudden, when this memorial was issued, Cao Ren's army had already set off from Xiangyang and was on its way to Jiangling.
"Liu Feng, this kid, is indeed a restless person. He gave us another big surprise."
Cao Cao seemed to be extremely happy about this sudden change in Jingzhou.
Most of the civil and military officials also believed that the Jingzhou Incident was a great event for their side.
At this time, Liu Bei was capturing Yizhou. Naturally, Cao Cao did not want to see Liu Bei become powerful, but because he was restrained by Sun Quan in Huainan, he could not spare the energy to prevent Liu Bei from capturing Yizhou.
But at this juncture, Liu Feng suddenly raided Liu Bei's home base. Regardless of whether Liu Feng could defeat Guan Yu and finally capture Jingzhou, this incident alone was enough to cause a huge impact on the morale of Liu Bei's army, which was attacking Liu Zhang with all its strength. Influence.
Furthermore, what Cao Cao feared the most was the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Now Liu Feng suddenly emerged and cut off the alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and the Liu Bei and Sun Quan alliance collapsed.
At the same time, Liu Feng occupied Jingzhou alone and formed an upstream trend against Soochow, which Sun Quan would not like to see. Liu Bei, who is further upstream, will not sit back and watch Jingzhou fall.
In short, it seems that the biggest beneficiary of this Jingzhou incident was Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, if General Zixiao can take advantage of this God-given opportunity to retake Jiangling, then we can avenge Chibi."
General Zuo Yu Jin seemed extremely excited. Although he did not personally participate in the Battle of Chibi that year, as the first confidant general to follow Cao Cao in raising troops, Yu Jin always regarded the defeat of Chibi as his own shame and was determined to avenge this one day.
Yu Jin has always been prestigious in the army. His impassioned speech made all the generals excited. Even most of the counselors thought this was a God-given opportunity to break the confrontation between the north and the south.
Cao Cao stroked his short beard under his chin, and his eyes gradually showed a bit of pride.
How many quiet nights, when reflecting on himself, Cao Cao was deeply moved by the Battle of ChibiAnd regret.
??Cao Cao regretted that he should not have thought he was invincible in the world. He regretted that he should not have won in Jingzhou. With people's hearts still undecided, he insisted on leading his army eastward from Jiangling.
Cao Cao had imagined more than once that if he had captured Jingzhou without any blood, just like he had captured Hebei, he had patiently spent a year or two to win over the hearts of the soldiers and people, and the only thing Liu Biao had left behind could be with Soochow. The competing naval forces were well trained into an elite division, and then they raised troops to destroy Wu. What would be the result?
I am afraid that Liu Bei and Sun Quan have already been crowned leaders, and the north and south of the Yangtze River have been unified. Remote princes such as Zhang Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Ma Han have long accepted the land and surrendered under the power of the gods.
" And he himself can drink wine and compose poems on the bronze bird stage, have fun with his concubines, and enjoy his old age in peace. There is no need to be driven by old age and still experience the hardships of military service.
At this moment, Cao Ren's urgent report suddenly gave Cao Cao an illusion, as if God had given him another opportunity, an opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes and rewrite history.
There was great joy in the big tent.
However, the proud Cao Cao, with his sensitive sense of smell, smelled a different smell among the ministers.
The eagle eyes that were deep in his eyes swept away, and Cao Cao saw Jia Xu hiding in the crowd, still smiling and saying nothing.
Cao Cao knew the character of this "poisonous man" very well. Ever since this person came under his command, he had never taken the initiative to offer any advice. Whenever he encountered different opinions, he always smiled and said nothing, pretending to be mysterious.
This person is too protective of himself.
Cao Cao didn't like Jia Xu's character from the bottom of his heart, but the problem was that this old fox, who was nearly seventy years old, was always full of ideas. The last time he didn't listen to his advice and insisted on sending troops eastward, he was attacked. Chibi was defeated.
Now, Cao Cao saw his expression again, and the excitement in his heart suddenly felt like a scoop of cold water had been poured on him.
"Wen He, everyone is saying that I should move to Jingzhou and take advantage of the chaos to capture Jingzhou. What do you think?" There was no other way, so Cao Cao had to ask.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said slowly: "If the Prime Minister wants to retake Jiangling, now is indeed the best time. If Guan Yu can drag Liu Feng in the south of the Yangtze long enough, with General Zixiao's ability, it may not be impossible to conquer Jiangling." .¡±
Jia Xu said half of the story and deliberately kept it secret.
His words seemed to confirm Cao Ren's strategy, but Cao Cao could tell that the affirmation would be followed by a denial.
Sure enough, after Jia Xu swallowed his saliva, he said slowly: "I just remembered that when the Prime Minister went to Red Cliff, Liu Zhang bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister. The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River decided to send a message. The only thing the Prime Minister had to face was Sun Yat-sen in the east. Liu Lianjun. Now if the Prime Minister captures Jiangling again, what kind of situation will he face at this time?"
"The words were like a blow to the head. Instead of knocking Cao Cao unconscious, he woke him up. A chill immediately surged on Cao Cao's back.
If Jiangling is retaken, the situation he will face in Jingzhou will be: Liu Feng from the four Jiangnan counties to the south, Liu Bei who is eager to regain Jingzhou to the west, and Sun Quan, the number one enemy, to the east.
These three groups of people are all his enemies, and they all have sizable naval forces. Although he has secured an important town in Jiangling, he is surrounded by enemies on three sides. To the south, there is no naval force available on the Yangtze River.
With such a situation of being attacked from both sides, let alone using Jiangling as a base to wipe out the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the tragedy of the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling will happen again.
The words woke up the man in the dream, and the extremely smart Cao Cao immediately woke up from his dream of repairing the situation. There was a trace of solemnity in his expression, and he asked in a deep voice: "What Wen He said is absolutely true. Zixiao's move is indeed true." Without considering it, how should Wen He respond?"
Jia Xu coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Both the two Lius and the first grandson want to monopolize the place of Jingzhou's four battles, and no one wants to let others monopolize it. If the prime minister's army presses the border, the more urgent the attack, the more urgent it will be, which will encourage the three heroes to return to the battlefield. Unite. If the Prime Minister lets it go and ignores it, these three heroes will kill each other, and the Prime Minister can just sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fishermen. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"It's a good move to enjoy the benefits of a fisherman, wonderful, very wonderful."
Cao Cao was immediately enlightened and immediately used Jia Xu's plan. He quickly sent people to Xiangyang to convey an order, ordering him to withdraw from the siege of Jiangling quickly and return to Xiangyang to wait and see what happened.
At the same time, Cao Cao ordered his troops to return north. The purpose was simple. He wanted to free up Sun Quan's hands and create opportunities to intervene in the Jingzhou Revolution.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
Dangyang, Changbanpo.
The dust and smoke are billowing, covering the sky and the sun.
Liu Feng stationed his horse on the Dangyang Bridge, looking up at the familiar wilderness, and suddenly feltAroused thousands of emotions.
It was here that he experienced the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time.
It was also here that he fought against the world's top master Xu Chu for the first time, and almost died under his sword.
At the same time, here, he was desperately protecting Adou, fighting side by side with Zhao Yun, and fighting through the siege.
Here, he personally buried the Mi family who committed suicide. It was precisely because of this that he laid the foundation for all the suspicions he suffered later.
Changbanpo, Liu Feng will never forget this place, it changed the trajectory of his life.
Around them, the long cavalry team was galloping non-stop. From last night to now, it had traveled three hundred miles a day. This was already the maximum speed of the cavalry's rapid march.
Liu Feng regained his thoughts, patted the panting Cao Ren beside him, and sneered: "Thank you for your hard work, General Cao. There is still one day to go, so you can have a good rest and be patient for a while."
