- Chapter 202: The situation takes a turn for the worse
(A big chapter. Thank you for the tip, Brother, Xiaoben, Mo Yankai and Yin, haha)
Liu Feng is very clear that the crucial reason for his great success so far is that he made a beautiful time difference.
If Liu Bei were not in Shu, Cao Cao and Sun Quan were entangled in the southeast, coupled with Guan Yu's underestimation of the enemy and Cao Ren's greed for merit, if they set up a frontal confrontation, no matter which side Liu Feng was in, he would not be sure of victory. Even if they win, it will definitely be a miserable victory.
Now, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Jingzhou. Although the intelligence has not yet been sent, Liu Feng guessed that Cao Cao was already withdrawing his troops from the southeast and was on his way to Jingzhou all the way. As for Sun Quan, seeing his brother-in-law monopolizing Jingzhou, he was bound to be jealous. No matter whether it was a big move or a small move, as soon as Cao Cao withdrew his troops, they would definitely follow.
The only thing Liu Feng was not worried about was the "victim" Liu Bei. He had no choice but to make him halfway to capture Yizhou. Even if he wanted to capture Jingzhou, he would be powerless.
Among the three parties, Liu Feng is most worried about Cao Cao now.
The reason is very simple. If Cao Ren does not intervene in this way, then Liu Feng's rise will not pose a substantial threat to Cao Cao. Cao Cao should be happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
But now that Cao Ren has been captured, Xiangyang has been defeated, Cao Cao's layout in Jingzhou has been suddenly disrupted, and Nanyang and even Xu Luo are threatened by Liu Feng's troops. Under such circumstances, how can Cao Cao turn a deaf ear anymore.
I am afraid it is only a matter of time before the army reaches the border.
Liu Feng first arrived in Xiangyang. This place was different from Jiangling. There were many aristocratic families who were leaning towards Cao Cao. Although he intended to invite Kuai Liang, it would take time to get people's support. So, if Cao Cao's army arrives, it will be disadvantageous if we only rely solely on Xiangyang and Fancheng and rely on the Han River to fight.
To fight on the Han River, you have to rely on the advantage of the navy, but now the Han River is occupied by the Wu people. Even if Liu Feng has a navy, his actions in the Han River must be controlled by the Wu people. This is obviously not very good. Safe.
Xinye is a place less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang. It was originally the gateway to Xiangyang. Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to station here as an outpost to defend Xiangyang, and repeatedly defeated several invasions by Cao Jun.
Liu Feng had followed Liu Bei for a period of time, so he naturally knew the importance of Xinye.
Now that Cao Ren's failure has left Cao Cao's army leaderless in Jingbei, creating a defensive vacuum, Liu Feng has no reason not to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to build an outpost defensive position in Xiangyang in Xinye before Cao Cao's army arrives.
Another important reason why Liu Feng decided to cross the Han River to capture Xinye was to cut off Jiangxia Prefect Wenpin's return northward and completely annihilate Cao Ren's army.
Jiangxia County, the south bank area, and important riverside cities such as Xiakou on the north bank were all occupied by the Wu people. After Wenpin surrendered to Cao Cao, the area under his jurisdiction as the governor of Jiangxia was actually only the Jiangbei area, and his administrative seat was moved to Anlu.
From a topographic point of view, the Han River flowing south divides the Jiangbei area into two, with Nanjun in the west and Jiangxia in the east. This Xinye is the intersection of the northern parts of the two counties.
If Liu Feng takes Xinye, Wenpin will have the Yangtze River to the south, the Han River to the west, and the Dabie Mountains to the east. If the entrance to the north is cut off, it will be like a turtle in a urn.
Since the enmity with Cao Cao is unavoidable, Liu Feng must do everything possible. How could Liu Feng let Wenpin off easily, as he was very familiar with Jingzhou and a very talented general.
Just as Liu Feng was rushing into Xinye, another army was rushing to Jingzhou in a dusty way.
Lujiang County.
On the rolling Yangtze River, a large-scale fleet is riding the wind and waves, sailing towards Jiangxi.
In the cabin, Sun Quan was stroking his purple beard and staring at the map of Jingzhou hanging on the wall with a stern expression, a hint of irritation flashing in his eyes.
Sun Quan was very unhappy and angry.
I spent all my money to fight to the death against Cao Cao, an old thief with 400,000 infantry and cavalry in Huainan. It would be better for you two named Liu. One of you took the opportunity to attack Yizhou, and the other shouted that he would send troops and food for my brother-in-law. But in the end, Taking the opportunity to seize Jingzhou.
It makes sense for Liu Bei to attack Jingzhou, because Liu Bei promised to return the borrowed Nanjun to him as long as he captured Yizhou.
Legally speaking, the ownership of Nanjun belongs to me, Sun Quan, and the right to use it belongs to Liu Bei. Now that you, Liu Feng, have taken away Nanjun, it is equivalent to taking away my property, Sun Quan. So what do you mean, do you plan to take it as your own?
In this era where every inch of land is contested, I will fight to the death whoever takes my territory.
More importantly, Sun Quan felt that he had been humiliated. He could tolerate being humiliated by a strong man calmly.??, but it is absolutely not okay to be humiliated by the weak.
Sun Quan was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Therefore, after confirming Cao Cao's withdrawal, Sun Quan did not wait to let the soldiers who had been fighting hard for nearly half a year take a break, and immediately led an army of 40,000 and more than 500 warships to attack Jingzhou in a menacing manner.
He asked Liu Fengxingshi to question him.
At this time, the fleet has entered the Lujiang River and is still several days away from Jingzhou.
While he was thinking and getting annoyed, the cabin door creaked open, and a military general stepped into the cabin.
He was a young general with a strong body, dark skin, slender and well-proportioned waist, thick sideburns and a wide chin, showing that he had a composure that was not consistent with his age.
"My lord, there is the latest news from Jingzhou." The young general said with his hands raised.
Sun Quan hid the anger on his face and turned around. Seeing that the general was Lu Meng whom he had promoted, he said, "Go ahead."
Sun Quan¡¯s tone was extremely flat, and it was difficult to detect any hint of his character. As he spoke, he sat down and picked up the still warm tea.
"General Liu defeated Cao's army, captured Cao Ren alive, and now has captured Xiangyang." Lu Meng replied calmly.
This sentence with a plain tone was like a muffled thunder, hitting Sun Quan's heart hard.
At that moment, the teacup in Sun Quan¡¯s hand shook.
That¡¯s Xiangyang. Without Jiangling, there would be no Jingzhou, and without Xiangyang, there would be no Jiangling.
The dream that three generations of the Sun family have fought for for many years cost the lives of both the Sun family and his son, and none of them could get their hands on it. But now, that boy Liu Feng has captured it all in less than a month.
At this moment, in Sun Quan's heart, a strong jealousy burst out like a volcano. That jealousy soon turned into deep resentment.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Sun Quan placed the wine glass fiercely on the table, his cold eyes filled with angry flames.
In Sun Quan¡¯s view, whether Liu Feng captured Jiangling or Xiangyang, it was all thanks to his restraint of Cao Cao. The city of Xiangyang, like Jiangling, should belong to Soochow, not that kid who only took advantage of others.
"This brat is so well hidden in the city that even I was deceived by him." Sun Quan couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and cursed.
At this moment, Sun Quan felt even more deeply regretful, regretting that he should not have betrothed his sister to Liu Feng.
I originally thought that Liu Feng was just a desperate dog, and that Sun Quan could use this dog to guard his house in Jingzhou. Unexpectedly, the docile and obedient dog once upon a time turned out to be a heavily disguised evil wolf.
Not only was he manipulated, but he was also bitten in the face. It is strange that Sun Quan was not angry.
Seeing that Sun Quan was full of anger, Lu Meng looked calm and smiled lightly: "My lord, please calm down. I will think that this is the perfect opportunity given to us by God."
Chance?
Lu Meng's words, like the light of spring, immediately soothed Sun Quan's "injured" heart.
Sun Quan's spirit was immediately lifted. He knew very well that the young general in front of him, who he had single-handedly promoted, had always been secretive. The original suggestion to set up a dock at Ruxukou was made by him. Facts have proved that Lu Meng's suggestion was very useful. Useful, and made a huge contribution in dealing with Cao Cao's southern invasion.
"What good strategy does Ziming have?" Sun Quan looked strange.
Lu Meng lowered his voice and said: "Although Liu Feng has captured Jingzhou and his momentum seems to be at its peak, he has conquered a large territory in one fell swoop. We can trust that the number of good generals is only ten thousand, which is far from enough to defend such a vast area. Moreover, , Xiangyang fell in the north, Cao's army will arrive soon, and Liu Feng will definitely deploy a large number of troops to defend Xiangyang. Although Liu Bei has not yet attacked Yizhou in the west, he still has 40,000 to 50,000 strong troops in his hands, and Liu Feng has to guard against it. At this time, , it is the perfect opportunity for my lord to take over Jingzhou."
Lu Meng's "good words" deeply moved Sun Quan, or maybe this was Sun Quan's inner thoughts. Otherwise, he would not have brought tens of thousands of troops to come to investigate the crime.
"Does Ziming have a detailed military strategy on how to capture Jingzhou?" Sun Quan became more and more interested.
Seeing that Sun Quan was moved, L¨¹ Meng also became excited immediately, so he revealed all the strategies he had planned to use the army.
Lu Meng¡¯s strategy was to divide Sun Quan¡¯s 40,000-strong army into two groups. The main force of one group would go up the river and attack Jiangling directly, while the other group would move south to the Xiang River to seize the four counties in Jingnan. As for Xiakou, Lu Su's 20,000 navy troops quickly moved north from the Han River to Xiangyang.?Contain Liu Feng in Xiangyang. Sixty thousand troops were deployed on three sides, making it impossible for Liu Feng to look at each other.
"The general has calculated that Liu Feng only has 20,000 elite troops. Now they are scattered from north to south. The battle line is extremely long, which is a taboo of military strategists. As for my three-pronged army, no matter which one is occupied first, The advantage is that as long as the middle road can successfully reach Jiangling City, Liu Feng can be cut in half. When the north and south are blocked, our army can easily defeat them one by one."
At this point, Lu Meng¡¯s eyes were gleaming with excitement, as if he had a plan in mind and was eager to give it a try.
Sun Quan was deeply affected by Lu Meng's strategy and his strong fighting spirit, but this was not enough to convince him to launch a war with his former ally, or "little brother".
"It seems simple to defeat Liu Feng, but Jingzhou must have become even more chaotic at that time. If Cao Cao's army comes to attack, what will happen?" This was Sun Quan's last concern.
At this time, Lu Meng said with emotion: "Cao Cao has nothing to fear when his envoy comes. Meng is willing to occupy Xiangyang in front of his lord. With the benefit of our Soochow Navy and the unity of the soldiers, there is no need to worry about making Cao Cao sigh when he looks at the river."
Sun Quan was shocked. For a moment, his thoughts were all occupied by the long-desired piece of fat in Jingzhou and Lu Meng's generosity and confidence.
With excitement on his face, he walked around the cabin for a long time, then took a deep breath, his eyes filled with murderous intent and determination, "Okay, I'll follow your plan."
¡¡¡¡¡¡
The soft and red sunset hung slanting in front of our eyes, adding a little warmth to the still cold wind in early spring.
Liu Feng stood on the high oar at the north corner of Fancheng and looked quietly into the distance. As far as he could see, there was an endless wilderness, and an ancient official road extended from the distance to the city.
Looking at everything familiar, Liu Feng felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart: after many years, he finally returned to Fancheng again.
Although this is not his real hometown, as the place where Zuoji lived at the beginning of his time travel, Liu Feng has always felt as close to Fancheng as his hometown.
It was here that he spent perhaps his most peaceful and peaceful year, and since then, his peaceful life has never been the same again.
At the city gate at the foot, an army composed of Wuxi barbarians was setting off.
Because countless ordnance was captured in the Battle of Jingzhou, as a reward for Shamoko, Liu Feng allocated a large amount of military supplies to upgrade the equipment of this barbarian army with "rudimentary" but fierce combat.
Now, this newly equipped army will set off from Fancheng and be ordered to capture Xinye County, a barrier in the north of Xiangyang.
"My lord, this is an urgent document from Mr. Shiyuan."
It was Wei Yan who hurriedly reached the top of the city.
Liu Feng previously ordered Wei Yan to lead an army to conquer Lingling, but because Guan Yu was the leader, Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, surrendered without a fight. After capturing Xiangyang, Liu Feng ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops and quickly rushed to Xiangyang.
In Liu Feng's view, among the few generals in his hands, Wei Yan was the only one capable of defending him. Therefore, Liu Feng planned to order Wei Yan to take full charge of the defense of Jingbei after taking Xinye to fight against the north. Cao Cao.
Wei Yan, who had always been calm, had a hint of solemnity on his face, and Liu Feng suddenly had an ominous premonition.
After taking the document and looking at it, Liu Feng couldn't help but frown.
Pang Tong stated in the letter that Sun Quan had led tens of thousands of troops and came to Jingzhou with great momentum. He seemed to have an attempt to seize Jingzhou by force. He asked Liu Feng to immediately give up his plan to take Xinye in the north and lead Xiangfan's army to support the Jiangling front line.
"My lord, if Soochow decides to go to war with us, they will definitely concentrate their main force to seize Jiangling. As of now, defending Jiangling is the top priority."
Liu Feng didn't know about Wei Yan's reminder. As for Sun Quan's army to march westward, Liu Feng had already expected it, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to come so quickly, as if he had been stimulated by something.
"The Soochow side is coming fiercely. I must go back to Jiangling in person to take charge of the overall situation. Chang Wen, I will leave Xiangyang to you." Liu Feng said in a very solemn tone.
Wei Yan looked excited, as if he had been waiting for Liu Feng's words for a long time, and said boldly: "Don't worry, my lord, I, Wei Yan, am here. No matter whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan who invades, I will guarantee that Xiangyang will be safe with the head on my neck. "
Hearing Wei Yan's heroic and confident words, Liu Feng felt a lot relieved, but he was curious: "Wen Chang, the pressure on you will be unprecedented in the Fourth Battle of Xiangyang. I think you seem to be looking forward to it." .¡±
Wei Yan laughed and said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, my lord, when my lord asked me to go get Lingling, I thought I was overqualified. Now my lord asks me to guard Xiangyang, I have this feeling in my heart."Qu Cai is finally over. To be honest, I, Wei Yan, have been waiting for this day for a long time. If Cao Cao and Sun Quan don't dare to attack, I will feel very disappointed. "
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTLINE
Feeling something in his heart, Liu Feng also laughed and said happily: "Thank you for your words, I feel relieved."
On the same day, Liu Feng appointed Wei Yan as the governor of Xiangyang and promoted him to general Yamen, entrusting him with the heavy responsibility of Xiangfan's frontline defense. After leaving Wei Yan with 5,000 elite Changsha troops, Liu Feng led the remaining troops and rushed south to Jiangling at starry night.
Two days later, Liu Feng arrived in Jiangling. At the former Liu Bei Zuo General's Mansion and now the Zhennan General's Mansion, Liu Feng met Pang Tong and Liu Ba for the first time.
At this time, after capturing Jingzhou, Liu Feng quickly made new adjustments to Jingzhou's personnel deployment.
With Liu Ba as his farewell driver in Jingzhou, he and Xiangyang Kuai Liang jointly took charge of Jingzhou's grain, taxation, prison and other political affairs. Pang Tong was promoted to the rank of Military Advisor Zhonglang General and took part in all affairs of Zhennan General Mansion. Ma Liang was appointed as the governor of Nanjun. Ma Su was promoted to the governor of Yidu and a partial general, and he attacked Yidu from the west. Huang Zhong was promoted to the general of the gangsters, led as the prefect of Wuling, and suppressed the public security. He was promoted to General Pi and held the post of Jiangling.
As for the original "home base" of Changsha, with not many trustworthy people, Liu Feng replaced Liu Ba as the governor of Changsha with his uncle Liu Mi. In order to fulfill his promise to Samoko, Liu Feng ordered several counties in the Wuxi people's settlement area in the south of Wuling to be separated and a new Nanling County was established.
"My lord, with all due respect, your surprise attack on Xiangyang was really ill-considered. At this time, you really shouldn't openly confront Cao Cao."
As soon as they met, Liu Ba complained in front of everyone. Putting aside Liu Ba's always advocating alliance with Cao Cao, judging from the current unfavorable situation Jingzhou is facing, Liu Ba's complaints seem to be reasonable.
"What Zichu said is wrong. As the saying goes, without Xiangyang, there would be no Jiangling. Xiangyang is the barrier of Jiangling and even the entire Jingzhou. It is what we are determined to win. Sooner or later, we will still have to go to war with Cao Cao."
As one of the instigators of the surprise attack on Xiangyang, Pang Tong immediately stood up to explain to Liu Feng.
Liu Ba shook his head and said: "Of course we have to take Xiangyang, but it also depends on the timing. Now we have offended Sun Quan and Cao Cao at the same time, and the two armies are pressing down on the border, leaving us surrounded by enemies on all sides. Taking Xiangyang at this time will simply do more harm than good."
Liu Ba¡¯s tone was harsh, a bit openly trying to teach Pang Tong a lesson.
Pang Tong sneered and said coldly: "Zichu said it lightly, as if Xiangyang is yours, and you can take it whenever you want. Then I have to ask, with Cao Cao's strength, if not This time, Cao Ren missed the mark and gave us an excellent opportunity. Do you have any ingenious strategies that can help the lord capture Xiangyang anytime and anywhere?"
