- Chapter 421: The Storm in Jiangzhou
In the tenth year of Jian'an, the Han soldiers who conquered Goguryeo and Three Koreas in the north returned in triumph. While Zhen Yao was busy settling the Gongsun family, he did not forget to ask the emperor for merit and reward for his officers and men.
Five days later, the Pingzhou established by Zeng Jin for Zhen Yao's request was revoked and returned to Youzhou. Lelang County was set aside, and together with the three new counties of Juli County, Woju County and Chenhan County that entered the Han Dynasty, they were combined into the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty, Chaozhou.
At the same time, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others also tried their best to promote Zhen Yao's contribution to the expansion of the Han Dynasty, and downplayed the emperor to a certain extent. Not long after, a message was sent to all the states and counties in the Han Dynasty, and they seemed to want to enjoy the situation with the world.
At this time, no princes are fighting. Each one of them is digesting the shock brought by Zhen Yao and preparing secretly.
Regarding the Gongsun family, Zhen Yao removed the post of Liaodong governor in the name of the emperor, but also arranged an idle position for Gongsun Kang in the court. As for Gongsun Gong, although Zhen Yao did not kill him, he still sent him to his mines and worked as a miner.
And when the Han Dynasty returned to normal from the joy of opening up and expanding its territory, war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong inevitably broke out again. Jiangxia is too important to both families. If Jingzhou does not take it back, it will be difficult to sleep and eat. Sun Quan has finally made some achievements to the outside world, and he will not give in easily. A big battle is in everyone's eyes. Happens under the watchful eyes.
Except for the Sun and Liu families, Cao Cao still retreated to Yanzhou to lick his wounds. The failure of the surprise attack on Luoyang made the already weak Cao Cao even more depressed. The two states consumed too much food and baggage, making it very difficult for Cao Cao to recruit troops.
"My lord, the war in Jingzhou looks like a fierce battle, but in fact both Sun and Liu are competing for the truth, and there seems to be fraud in it." In the Prefecture Mufu, Yanzhou, which is relatively close to Jingyang, can easily get more specific battle reports. Xun Yu spoke softly while analyzing.
Cao Cao nodded indifferently: "What do Wen Ruo think?"
"If Yu is planning something, he should use Jiangxia as bait and actually attack Nanyang." Xun Yu was not sure, but what he said was his own idea, and it was also the most preferable solution for the Sun and Liu families at present.
There are heavy troops inside and outside Jiangxia at all times, and they are always on guard. Neither Sun Quan nor Liu Pan can take action here. But if you change the target, it can have miraculous effects. You know, Jingzhou is also a prosperous place, and there are many good sites.
"Nanyang." Cao Cao muttered the name of the place. This land originally belonged to him, and he invested a lot in Nanyang.
Regarding the war in the south, Cao Cao just thought about it casually. After all, it did not involve him. However, what Xun Yu said made sense. At least in Jingyang, many people thought the same thing as him.
"My lord, Jiangling's soldiers and horses have been assembled. We just need to wait for Xiangyang's soldiers and horses to join us before they can go straight along the river and attack Bajun." Xun Yu guessed the general idea, but failed to understand the details. Yes, although Liu Pan's attack on Jiangxia was just a pretense, his goal was not Nanyang, but Yizhou, the land of abundance since ancient times.
It was Xu Shu who proposed this strategy to Liu Pan, and Liu Ba also nodded in agreement, but on the basis of his agreement, he did not forget to remind: "Master, once our troops are dispatched, we must capture Chengdu within two months. Time." If it goes on for a long time, Jiangdong will be aware of it, and when they lead their troops to pass through Jingnan, they will cut off the soldiers, horses, food and retreat routes, and Jingzhou will be in danger."
Liu Pan remained silent. This strategy was very risky, but now that he wanted to make a career, there was no way he wouldn't take risks. Just like Zhuge sitting aside, but he didn't say a word.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhuge Liang was opposed to this kind of risky military action. However, his previous deployment in the Jiangxia Battle obviously failed, so Liu Pan may not necessarily believe all his advice.
Furthermore, Yizhou is also a very important part of Zhuge Liang's plan for domination for Liu Pan. If he can capture Yizhou, Liu Pan can plan for great things. Because of this, even though Zhuge was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show his expression on his face and just watched silently.
Compared with the older Liu Biao, Liu Pan was much quicker in making decisions. When the matter was settled, he immediately ordered the soldiers to leave the city in the middle of the night. The Xiangyang soldiers and horses who went to Yizhou this time were naturally led by Xu Shu, but beside him, there was a tall general with a square face and short beard.
Wei Yan was a talent that Xu Shu accidentally discovered in the grassroots. Although he had never experienced a major battle, he had an innate sense of war, and his ability to lead troops and subordinates was very unique. In the situation where Jingzhou was extremely short of talents, especially military generals, although Wei Yan had no qualifications, he could still serve as the deputy general in the army and lead the troops in battle.
We went straight down the river and arrived at Gangneung after lunch on the second day. In Jiangling City, everyone did not stay too much. It was night again. Wenpin, Xu Shu, and Wei Yan, with a total of 40,000 troops, set out to attack the western gate of Yizhou, Ba?.
Jingzhou is marching westward, but Zhang Jia, who is guarding Jiangzhou at the moment, has no news at all. It was not until Linjiang was defeated and Jingzhou soldiers and horses were about to reach Fuling directly along the river that they could receive the news.
"Bastard." Most of Ba County's territory was knocked down, and he opened his jaw and wanted to curse. He really wanted to ask what they were doing with all the sentinels he sent out every day, but there was no news of the war or the capture of the city.
This cannot be blamed on his subordinates. You must know that there is basically no war in Yizhou. Even if Xu Huang led troops into Shu, he only used force in Guanghan. Compared to the unstable north, although Jiangzhou is a gateway, there has been no war for decades.
In this environment, the vigilance of the soldiers is naturally not high. They go out to patrol and spy with Zhang Jia's orders, but most of them are perfunctory. This is not due to Zhang Jia's poor ability to command troops, but to the current situation caused by the special regional characteristics. .
It is already impossible to take complete initiative in the next war. But fortunately, they only lost their territory, and their troops and horses were still in the city. Zhang Zha was also confident that he could use Jiangzhou's food, grass and ordnance to repel the invading enemies.
So after losing his temper, Zhang Jia wrote a battle report and handed it over to let Huang Quan and others know that an enemy was invading. As for whether to report to Wuji again, that is not a matter for him to open his jaw. What he has to do now is to face the enemy.
On the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the young and energetic Wei Yan was fed up with the wind on the warship. He found Wenpin and said with clasped fists: "General, traveling against the current of the river consumes too much time. At the end of the day, I would like to lead three thousand troops by land. Raid Deyang and approach Chengdu."
Wenpin looked at the brave general in front of him who was stronger than himself, and felt a sense of emotion. He secretly thought that this man was not as brave as Huang Hansheng, but he relied too much on his bravery, and he still had to beat him.
"Capture Chengdu," Wenpin smiled and shook his head: "Do you know who the leader of Yizhou is now?"
"It's true that I am not extremely Zhen Yao." Although Jingzhou is far away from Jizhou, Wei Yan still understands this simple question.
"That's it." Wenpin turned around, looked in the direction of Chengdu, and asked with a smile: "Wen Chang's bravery is three points stronger than that of Pinyi. A surprise attack on Deyang is no problem. Even if the troops surround Chengdu, it's not a bad idea. .¡±
"But what if Wen Chang's troops surrounded Chengdu? You must know that this place is no longer Liu Jiyu's Yizhou. So what if you captured Chengdu, but you couldn't cut off Zhang Jaw's troops. He only cut off our army's retreat, and then he could defeat you I put myself to death."
After saying this, Wenpin paused, then turned his head and asked with a half-smile: "So, you still want to make a surprise attack?"
Wei Yan didn¡¯t think so much. He just felt that he had the ability to capture Chengdu, but what to do after he captured it, he hadn¡¯t had time to think about it. Wen Pin's face turned red when he was questioned, but he was wise enough not to mention the surprise attack any more.
Jiangzhou City is built along the water, with the rolling Yangtze River to the south and the inner water Dianjiang River to the east. The natural river protection makes Jiangzhou one of the few cities that is difficult to conquer.
In fact, when entering Shu from the west, the biggest trouble lies in Jiangzhou. As long as Jiangzhou is besieged and the troops led by Zhang Jia are defeated. The rest of the Shu generals were completely out of Wenpin's eyes. By then, maybe Wei Yan's brave strategy can be put to use.
When Wenpin and his three men arrived in a warship outside Jiangzhou City, Zhangzha had already made full arrangements around it. The gate of the water village was closed tightly. Many warships could be seen among them, and there were also many warships in the river guard. There are rocks and barbs just to create obstacles for Jingzhou warships.
A sudden war broke out in Bajun, which surprised Huang Quan, Dong He and others who were guarding Chengdu. However, after the surprise, they immediately sent troops to support. The leading generals were two senior generals in Shu, Yan Yan and Wu Yi.
When the war broke out, Huang Quan and others did not have the courage not to report it. Soon the messenger brought the news to Chang'an and continued to march northeast. At this moment, the war in Jiangzhou had just begun, and Wenpin had already begun to compete with Zhang Zha for control of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the tributaries of the Dianjiang River.
"Sir, Yizhou is under attack. Even though we want to go to support, we are beyond our reach. What should we do?" Although I haven't been with Zhen Yao for a long time, who is the most loyal to Zhen Yao among the military generals, that is still the case. It is undoubtedly Zhang Fei. As soon as he got the battle report from Bajun, he hurried over to question Jushou.
Jushou was now in his old age, how could he withstand Zhang Fei's shouting in his ears. He smiled bitterly and asked Zhang Fei to calm down first, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Jingzhou soldiers and horses invaded the middle of Shu. The journey is long, and it does not occupy an advantageous position." . Junyi is stationed in Jiangzhou and there are many Shu generals in Chengdu, so why worry?"
"But, what if something happens? Most of the generals in Shu are greedy for life and afraid of death. How can they be righteous!" Zhang Fei obviously has no confidence in the generals in Yizhou. After all, he personally attacked Shu and knows what it's like. status. There are dozens of generals in a state, and only one of them can take advantage of them.You can count them with both hands.
Jushou didn¡¯t feel anything when he said this, but Zhang Renke who was standing aside felt a little embarrassed. Although he himself was very shameless towards some generals in Shu, he came from Shu no matter what. Now Zhang Fei was saying bad things about his 'mother's family', so he had to turn a deaf ear and pretend that he had nothing to do with it. heard.
"Yi De, don't be anxious." Jushou frowned slightly, and then said: "There is no danger in this matter, but Jingzhou invades, but we still have to fight back. We can write a letter to the lord, asking to go south and attack Xiangyang directly."
"Okay, let's attack his Xiangyang!" Zhang Fei has always been a militant. When he heard that there was a war, and it was to attack Jingzhou Prefecture, he immediately became energetic. Zhang Ren on the side also had hot eyes, and he was obviously very excited about this.
"However, before that, I have to write a letter to Liangzhou to explore Ma Teng's thoughts." Jushou said, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. The lord invited Ma Chao to Wuji, but the Ma family did not settle the matter.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren didn't understand what this matter had to do with Liangzhou, but as long as there was a war, they didn't need to worry about anything else.
The horse galloped out of Chang'an, and it took only two days and two nights to reach Hanyang. He handed the letter to Ma Teng, who frowned deeply after reading it. There was nothing in the letter. He only asked Ma Teng if he would like to send troops together to attack Jingxiang.
After summoning his son, nephew and others, Ma Tie clasped his fists after reading the letter and said: "Father, if you don't agree to his decision, we will take down Chang'an first when we lead the troops to Chang'an."
Ma Tie is the youngest son of Ma Teng. He wants to kill enemies and perform meritorious deeds like his brother Ma Chao. This idea is common sense. But how could Ma Teng do this? Ma Dai immediately said: "I can't do it. Now the eldest brother is still in Wuji. If we really send troops, the eldest brother will be in danger."
"This promise of trust is because Ju Shou is testing our Liangzhou. What do you think we should do?" Ma Teng frowned deeply. The trend of the Han Dynasty was obvious, and he had no intention of fighting for hegemony. He only hoped to show his superiority by cutting off hegemony. The majesty of the Lord. But now it seems that even if he wants to settle down in Liangzhou, he may not be able to do so.
No one answered. After a long time, Pound clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please reply. Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are unable to carry out the expedition, so we will send thousands of war horses as support. In this way, we can reassure Ju Shou and Wuji, and also protect Meng Qi." No worries.¡±
"That's all, that's all." A text message made Ma Teng feel that he was really old. He waved his hands feebly and sighed: "I will follow Ling Ming's words and send some Liangzhou war horses to Chang'an."
Ma Teng of Liangzhou made his choice, and soon a messenger came to Chang'an. At this time, Jushou had just finished arranging the expedition. When he learned that Ma Teng had no intention of going on an expedition and sent a war horse, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes became more relieved and smiled.
Although it was an expedition, it was impossible to send out all the soldiers and horses of Chang'an. Because of Liangzhou's attitude, Jushou was relieved that Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren would go out together, leading 20,000 troops, crossing Tongguan, and marching to Nanyang.
"Shi Yuan, the scout came to report that Jingzhou has already conquered Yizhou in the west. Is this Zhuge Kongming's strategy you mentioned?" In Jianye City, Sun Quan, who had been keeping an eye on Jingzhou's movements, received the latest battle report. They found Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and others.
Because of the excellent deployment in the Battle of Jiangxia, Pang Tong also successfully entered the core civil and military ranks of Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Seeing his lord's question, he immediately bowed and said: "Zhuge is cautious in using his troops. Every time he sends out troops, he must make complete preparations. Like a surprise attack on Jiangzhou, etc." The dangerous move is not like Zhuge's plan, it should be done by others."
As Zhuge¡¯s opponent, Pang Tong still knew him very well. After shaking his head to deny Sun Quan¡¯s guess, he smiled and said, ¡°My lord, Jingzhou has exposed its purpose, and we can act as planned.¡±
When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but look happy: "This is a very good statement. Gong Jin, are your troops and horses ready?"
"Don't worry, my lord. Generals Ding Feng and Ling Tong are already on standby, just waiting for my lord's military orders to act." As the other two beneficiaries of the Battle of Jiangxia, these two young generals have also begun to show their prominence, becoming the new generation of Jiangdong. of leading figures.
"Very good, this time we will capture the four counties of Jingnan and encircle Jiangling." Sun Quan is a talented and strategic leader. As long as he is given the opportunity, he can also expand his territory. Now, his opportunity has come.
And when the various states and counties followed the changes due to Jingzhou's southern expedition, Zhang Jia had already started to fight in person outside Jiangzhou City. Although there are 30,000 soldiers at hand, there are only 5,000 elite soldiers among them, which were transferred from Wuji. It has to be said that the combat power of Yizhou's soldiers and horses is more than one level behind Jizhou.
And Zhang Jaw, who was accustomed to commanding Jizhou soldiers and horses to fight, saw that his soldiers continued to suffer heavy casualties. He really had no choice but to pick up his weapons and charge in. His figure could be seen at the top of the city and outside the city.
The rain falls drop by drop, and in late spring and early summer, it seems likeIn the land of Shu, it began to rain heavily all day long. The heavy rain will hinder the generals of both sides to some extent. The only ones who are not affected are the Euphorbia warriors. Because they are wearing heavy armor, no matter how much rain it rains, it will not affect their body balance, and they even have a slight advantage.
It¡¯s easy to get upset on a rainy day, not to mention Zhang Jia, who had been guarding the city for a tiring day, and when he returned to the prefect¡¯s mansion, he was about to fall apart. Wu Yi and Yan Yan, who had just led troops to help, couldn't bear it either. They were so old and had to fight in the rain. They were lucky not to get sick.
"With such heavy rain, I'm afraid the internal water will rise again." Yan Yan, as a local veteran in Yizhou, naturally knows the impact of large-scale continuous precipitation, and his eyes are full of boredom.
"The water is rising?" His open-jawed body, which had just touched the cushion with his buttocks, suddenly trembled. He immediately stood up and stared at Yan Yan: "General Yan, what is the current situation of the Dianjiang River? Will the dike collapse?"
"Breaking the embankment?" Yan Yan originally muttered to himself, but when he opened his jaw and said this, he immediately thought of one thing. If the embankment collapsed, what would be the result? Thinking about it further, I broke into a cold sweat.
"There are only three thousand soldiers guarding the Dianjiang embankment," Zhang Jia took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Two generals, I will personally go to garrison the embankment tonight, and Jiangzhou will be handed over to you two to garrison. Only defend but not attack. There should be no problem if the Euphorbia men under the jaw tent help me."
Yan Yan and Wu Yi looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "Jun Yi is the commander-in-chief of Jiangzhou. How can he leave the city lightly? Let me and the two of us guard the dam."
"There's no need to fight anymore, just go alone." Zhang Jia didn't care about rest now, and ran out of the hall again in the heavy rain.
At this time, Zhen Yao had just received the battle report that Jiangzhou was attacked, and also knew that Jushou had sent Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren to capture Xiangyang. Jia Xu and Guo Jia were called in to discuss how to deal with it.
"My lord, maybe Yan and Yu can be decided in one battle. I'm afraid Mr. Ju has this plan in mind." Guo Jia's eyebrows moved slightly and he thought carefully: "The strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west can be used by others, and my lord can also use it."
Jia Xu didn¡¯t say much, just nodded, indicating that he had the same idea as Guo Jia. After hearing this, Zhen Yao was also excited and attacked Yan and Yu. He had been preparing for this for a long time.
But before he and Guo Jia could discuss the detailed arrangements, messengers came to report that foreign envoys were visiting.
