After a fierce discussion among the courtiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei immediately made a decision: "I have made a decision, and immediately send Zhang Liao of Jiangdu and Wen Ping of Jiangxia to lead the people to wait for the opportunity to cross the river and attack the land of Wu and seize the land of Jiangdong." ”

"This time, I will never sit idly by and watch the thieves of Guanping take possession of all the Jiangdong counties."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Pi said loudly, and Zheng Ruo said matter-of-factly.

Seeing that the ministers were puzzled when they heard about their decision-making, Chen Qun even arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Why don't you join forces with Wu to resist the enemy, if you let the Jingzhou army take all the places south of the Yangtze River, once there is no southeast Sun's containment, the enemy army will inevitably launch a full-scale offensive with our army. ”

Facing everyone's response, Cao Pi smiled slightly, and then explained: "Although the enemy general Guan Ping vigorously recruited the main force of Jingxiang to march eastward, he still hoarded heavy troops for the Jingbei defense line, and our army was defeated in Jingxiang not long ago, resulting in a great loss of morale of the Jingxiang army and the emperor's uncle was heavily injured and has been unconscious, and Xiahou Shang's department could not stand the defense line constructed by Deng Ai alone. ”

"On the other hand, in the Jiangdu Department, our army has stationed elite soldiers from Jianghuai, and there are tiger generals like Zhang Wenyuan, if you cross the Yangtze River south and enter Wudi, you will have the chance to win!"

The Son of Heaven has already decided, and naturally there is no room for maneuver in this matter.

Next, the Great Wei decree was sent unimpeded from Luoyang, the capital division, to various places.

In late December of the second year of the reign of Wei and Huang (225).

He has been named the full favor of Yangzhou Assassin History, and the generals of the Wei army, such as Zhang Liao, the general of Zhengdong, and Wen Ping, the general of Weiyuan, have accepted the edict of the Son of Heaven, and took the opportunity to cross the Yangtze River south to abuse the hinterland of Wu when Han and Wu clashed.

The main force of the Wu army has been concentrated in Xiakou, and the hinterland in the rear has been invaded by the Shanyue tribes and has not yet been pacified, how can it resist the elite soldiers of the Wei army who are like wolves and tigers?

All of a sudden, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were shallow and the various units of the Wei army crossed the river one after another to capture various places.

Important strategic points at the junction of Wei and Wu, such as Weixuwu, Anhuikou, and Weixukou, were also unable to be defended due to the lack of troops, and now they are also fully in the hands of the Wei army.

The counties of Wu were already fully exposed to the Wei army.

……

Xiaguchi side.

Cao Pi ...... Thou art such a perfidious man......"

At this moment, Sun Quan, the king of Wu who was in the temporary palace, also received an urgent battle report from the rear, and Sun Quan immediately rushed to the crown with a face full of anger, his fists clenched with anger, and his green muscles burst out, as if they were all distorted!

He didn't expect that he was now in a dangerous place, and Cao Pi directly detained the messenger he sent to ask for help, and also fell into the ground, taking the opportunity to send troops to attack Wudi.

But that's it.

Too much anger is already helpless!

After a while, when Sun Quan's qi dissipated slightly, Yu turned his hand and said, "Qi Qi King Wu." Although Xiakou is a strategic place, our army should immediately lead the main force to return to help, otherwise under external and internal troubles, I am afraid that Jiangdong will not be protected. ”

All of a sudden, the ministers of Wu fell into a panic.

Jiangdong is not only the foundation of the Sun family, but also where their family business is, if there is a sudden change of master to rule, it is inevitable that the interests of the family will not be greatly impacted.

Therefore, the ministers were unwilling to abandon the Sun clan until they were forced to do so.

This was the compromise that Sun Quan made with the family after he succeeded to the throne, and the two sides participated in the rule of Jiangdong in the form of half cooperation and half minister, which won the full support of the big clans.

And this kind of policy, naturally, also has advantages and disadvantages.

As soon as the words fell, although Sun Quan's face was full of anger, he still forced himself to calm down because the city was too deep, and said worriedly: "Help? I'm afraid that the Jingzhou army, which is camping upstream, will take advantage of the opportunity of our army's return to crush up, right? ”

"Xu Wenxiang is still holding on to the enemy general Chen Shi until now, and has not recaptured Chaisang, and the return route of our army's retreat to Jiangdong will also be cut off by the enemy at any time, so what can I do?"

After the pressure of one battle after another, Sun Quan was really haggard at this moment, he originally mobilized the people, and confidently raised more than 100,000 people to sweep Jingxiang, but who knew that the war situation would develop to this point, this battle not only did not work for nothing, but also led the people back to aid Jiangdong.

Hearing this, Bu Qi thought for a moment, and then persuaded: "King Wu, why don't you send an envoy to the Jingzhou military camp to discuss peace with you in detail?" ”

"Peace?"

When the words fell, Sun Quan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Zhuge Ziyu wanted to go to Chengdu to discuss the matter of rebuilding the alliance, but who would have expected that Guan Ping would directly detain him, and with his attitude, I am afraid that he will not give up if he does not kill Lonely, how can he be willing to negotiate peace and be willing to let our army return to Jiangdong?" ”

"King Wu. This time and that time! ”

It's just that Bu Qi continued to explain: "At that time, the situation was unclear and the Jingzhou army was at the time of breaking more than 100,000 Wei troops and the military spirit was at its peak, but at present, after more than a month of tug-of-war, the enemy's spirit has been dissipated, presumably Guan Ping's tough attitude should be eased, of course, the most important thing is that now the Wei army suddenly rebelled and raided our Jiangdong counties, if the counties were captured by the Wei people, then Guan Ping and our army fought hard to add a wedding dress for others?" ”

"Secondly, if the Wei State seizes Jiangdong as a place to stand again, it can make up for the disadvantages of the naval army, and then only need to recuperate for a few years to forge a naval division, no matter how strong Guan Ping's means are, it will be difficult to resist the Wei army's troops."

Bu Qi slowly analyzed the situation of a seat, and after hearing that after a short period of thought, Sun Quan thought that it was indeed reasonable, and immediately sent an envoy to the Chibi camp again to meet the main general Guan Ping.

……

Guan Ping naturally received the report of the great changes that took place in Jiangdong, and at this moment he discussed with the generals after reading the military report: "The general did not expect that Cao Pi would be so bold this time, and he did not join Wu to raise troops to take advantage of this good opportunity to attack our rear, and actually sent elite soldiers to cross the Yangtze River south to abuse the Jiangdong counties. ”

"Ben really didn't expect it!"

For this matter, it was indeed beyond Guan Ping's expectations, what he thought in his heart was that if he gathered the main force of Jingxiang to the east, the most likely thing was that the Wei army would fully attack the Jingbei defense line to put pressure on his own side, so he had already made preparations, left heavy troops, and ordered Deng Ai, the governor of Jingbei, to respond to the battle.

But the truth is unexpected!

In fact, Guan Ping thought about it like this, and he also thought that when Liu Bei went east to avenge Guan Yu's revenge in the original history, Liu Ye, a strategist of Wei, suggested taking the opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong to seize the land of Wu.

However, Cao Pi, the son of heaven, did not adopt this strategy, and finally chose to stand still and sit back and watch the success or failure.

He didn't expect Cao Pi in this life to be so decisive and want to compete with himself for the ownership of the Jiangdong counties.

"Prince. Please also send troops to break through the Xiakou defense quickly, and quickly go straight down the river to seize the Jiangdong counties, if the Wei army is allowed to seize it, our army will fall into passivity, and the Wei army will have excellent conditions for training sailors at that time. ”

"In this way, the situation will become more and more unfavorable for our army in the future."

Hearing about the Wei army's actions, the generals of the Jingzhou army also suddenly showed solemn expressions and persuaded one after another.

They were originally born in Jingzhou, and they knew that the shipbuilding industry and sailors of the Wu people should not be underestimated!

If the Wei army is allowed to seize it, won't it lose its advantage in water warfare?

By that time, the Northern Expedition would be extremely difficult.

It's just that the generals were impatient, and after Guan Ping pondered for a while, he showed a pleasant smile and chuckled: "Don't worry, don't worry!" ”

"Jiangdong is the foundation of the Sun family, when I hear about the Jiangdong incident, I'm afraid that Sun Quan will be more anxious than us, I would have thought that now the peace envoy of the Wu people should be on the way, right?"

After the words fell, looking at Guan Ping's relaxed face, the generals were only half-convinced.

It's just that Guan Ping already has a new plan in his heart.

When the Wu envoy arrived at the Wu camp, Guan Ping said directly: "If you came to ask for peace on the order of Sun Quan, then the general will say bluntly, as long as he can lead the people to withdraw from Xiakou City with full authority, then his way back to Jiangdong will be unimpeded and unhindered." ”

As soon as these words fell, Guan Ping directly waved his hand and sent Wu Envoy away.

Guan Ping is well versed in the way of negotiation, which is to pay attention to the initiative, and now the most anxious is Sun Quan, who believes that under his own persecution, Sun Quan can choose the pros and cons.

Therefore, he did not say much.

The Wu envoy returned to Xiakou and clarified the conditions set by Guan Ping, and finally after consulting with the ministers, Sun Quan decided to withdraw from Xiakou but needed the Jingzhou army to return Chaisang.

In response to this, Guan Ping also readily agreed.

When the matter came to an end, Sun Quan immediately sent his troops to evacuate Xiakou and then quickly returned to Jiangdong by boat.

When the generals of Jingzhou were also puzzled as to why Guan Ping had agreed to return Chaisang, Guan Ping's next plan followed, and the generals instantly understood his intentions.

Guan Ping ordered Fu Wei, the governor of the naval division, to lead the navy to be responsible for cleaning up the sinking boats stationed in Xiakou and receiving the return of Chen Shi's troops from Chaisang, while he himself personally commanded the main force to go straight to Jiangbei.

In a short period of time, the Jingzhou army was in the north of Jiangxia, and it was easy to take it!

Because Wenpin cooperated with most of the troops to cross the river to attack Wudi, it led to the emptiness of Jiangxia, but Guan Ping took the opportunity to seize the opportunity, under the offensive of the wolf-like Jingzhou army, how could Jiangxia resist the strong front.

At this point, the Jingzhou army fully recovered Jingxiang Zhudi.

After recovering Jiangxia, Guan Ping ordered Pang De to be the general and Ma Dai to be the deputy, and led 3,000 knights to continue to abuse the land of Huainan to the north, so as to force the Wei army to be unable to take the land of Jiangxia wholeheartedly.

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, and then, Guan Ping once again sent troops down the river, and the troops pointed directly at Wudu Jianye.

But when passing through Pengze Lake, he was met by the writer of Sun Quan's main force who was evading the return of reinforcements.

The two armies faced each other, Guan Ping was naturally not afraid at all, relying on the advantages of the naval army and the advantage of a large number of troops, he directly won the headquarters of Wenpin.

After a fierce battle, the Wenpin Office was defeated, so they had to fight and retreat to the direction of the mouth of the water.

In response to this, Guan Ping did not pursue, but took this opportunity to seize the important place of Anhui in Jiangbei, and then stood still, sitting back and watching the battle between the Wu army and the Wei army, intending to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
