Chapter 34: The "Loophole" of Longzhong's Pair
In the original history, Guan Ping, as the eldest son of Guan Yu, guarded Jingzhou together, and after defeating Maicheng, both father and son were killed by Jiangdong generals.
Reliving a lifetime, Guan Ping naturally does not have any good feelings about Jiangdong, and taking a step back, looking at what Dongwu has done, it is indeed a rat.
In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent troops to attack the three counties for the first time, causing Liu Bei to lead 50,000 main forces in Shuzhong to the public security, and converging with Guan Yu's 30,000 elite soldiers to confront him.
If it weren't for the Cao army suddenly attacking Hanzhong and threatening Shu this time, I'm afraid there would not be any Xiangshui Alliance in history at all, and one county would return to three counties, but the Shu army drove straight in, went straight down the river, and wiped out Jiangdong in a war.
"A group of guys who can only play sneak attacks behind their backs, saying that you are rats, it is cheap for you."
Thinking about the actions of the Yuan Shi Sun clan, Guan Ping was extremely disdainful in his heart, and he didn't want to look at the Jiangdong faction with his eyes at all.
Hearing this, Zhou Cang was extremely shocked, and he was afraid to say: "Young General, you mean that when our army and Cao's army were fighting fiercely, Sun Quan would lead the crowd to attack our rear?" ”
After all, Zhou Cang has also been in the army for decades, not to mention rich combat experience, and often serves by Guan Yu's side, so his mind is naturally not slow, although Guan Ping did not bluntly say that Jiangdong would sneak attack.
However, after a short period of thought, he also figured it out.
"This matter is too normal, isn't this the consistent style of Sun Quan Xiao'er?"
Immediately, Guan Ping concentrated and said slowly.
"Therefore, Young General, are you worried that once the prince and the prince have a decisive battle with Cao's army on the north bank, my rear troops will be insufficient, and Sun Quan Xiao'er will lead the crowd to attack and take it, right?"
The so-called one-point, face-to-face, thinking for a while, Zhou Cang also understood Guan Ping's thoughts, and said softly.
Hearing this, Guan Ping brushed his robe and said: "Uncle, Jiangdong is behind, our army really can't take it lightly, and we must always take precautions." ”
"Although my father has spread beacons all over the river to convey military information, if our army is really in an anxious situation with Cao's army on the front line, even if he wants to retreat, he may not be able to retreat."
"In this way, the danger of the overthrow of our army has also come."
After a pause, Guan Ping looked at Zhou Cang, his eyes were blazing, he took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle, you have been following your father for a long time, and you must know his temperament very well. ”
"Our army has won several games in a row in this Northern Expedition, and since my father has already decided to capture Fancheng's plan, then we can't change it."
"Therefore, Ping planned a strategy to keep the rear and avoid being attacked by the Jiangdong Army, but when the war ends, I am afraid that my father will fall into the quagmire of war and have no way to withdraw."
"Therefore, Ping has also prepared a clever plan, my uncle is Ping's most trustworthy person, and I want to hand it over to you for safekeeping for the time being."
"When you wait for the Pingpai people to come back, uncle, you will cross the river and hand over the bag to your father."
"At that time, Ping believes that after reading the tips, his father will definitely retreat and confront Cao Jun across the river."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face, and arched his hand: "Young General, what are your plans, is there any danger?" ”
"Otherwise, Cang will be with you to protect your integrity at all times."
At this time, Zhou Cang's expression became more and more anxious.
Seeing this, Guan Ping smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay, Ping has a complete strategy, and my uncle doesn't need to worry about it!" ”
"What Ping said just now is the most important thing, when Jiangdong really sneaks in, Ping can only drag the enemy, if my father can't lead the main force back to help, I can't do anything!"
"Moreover, after Ping left, Xiangyang also needs to be guarded, but looking at the whole army, now only your uncle can take on this heavy responsibility."
Hearing this, Zhou Cang saw that Guan Ping looked stubborn, so he didn't say anything, so he gave up his order.
Immediately, Guan Ping got up and walked to Zhou Cang, took out a bag from his arms and handed it to him, and said solemnly: "Uncle, after Ping Lingjun leaves, the important task of stabilizing Xiangyang will be entrusted to you." ”
"Please!"
"Young General, don't worry, Cang will definitely live up to his mission!"
Immediately, Zhou Cang also gave up, and his face was resolute.
After that, Guan Ping returned to the main seat and sat down, and continued: "Uncle, there are more than 3,000 people in the Ping army this time, as for the remaining 2,000 elite soldiers, as well as the 1,000 prisoners who entered the camp without merit, they belong to you. ”
"Uncle, you must make every effort to restore and build the facilities of the water camp in the next month, and our army will have to confront Cao Jun across the river for a long time in the future."
At this time, Guan Ping said thoughtfully.
According to Jiang Ershou, this is the strategic plan that Guan Ping came up with after thinking hard after coming to this era.
This is also the reason why his father led the Northern Expedition, and he did not oppose it, after all, if Xiangyang is not taken, Nanjun will always be exposed to Cao's army and will always be in a disadvantageous position.
"Seize Xiangyang, defend according to the river, manage Jiangnan, attack Soochow, and divide it in two."
This strategic plan is a plan formulated by Guan Ping after careful consideration.
"After all, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao monopolizes the eight northern states, and his strength is strong, so how easy is it to revive the Han dynasty with a single Yizhou and a small half of Jingzhou that we are based on?"
"Only by first guarding across the river, taking a defensive position against Cao's army, dispatching heavy troops, advancing by land and water, destroying the Sun family, and dividing the world into two, can we solve our worries and wholeheartedly go on the Northern Expedition."
"Otherwise, our army's Northern Expedition will always be on guard against Jiangdong, how can we revive the Han dynasty if it goes on like this?"
At this time, Guan Ping thought about the depths of his love and thought secretly.
"In fact, although Zhuge Kongming's strategic plan for Longzhong proposed to the lord gives a standard development path, there are fatal loopholes in Donghe Sun Quan."
Thinking of this, Guan Ping felt more and more that what Zhuge Liang said about Dong and Sun Quan was just wishful thinking, and Jiangdong didn't take it seriously at all.
Although the battle of Chibi was a battle, the two families did join forces to resist Cao, but it was only established on Cao Cao's southern expedition, which threatened Sun Quan's interests.
"However, if our northern expedition defeats Cao and the forces also threaten Jiangdong, Sun Quan will still form an alliance with our army to fight against Cao together, is this possible?"
"Unless our army also sits and guards like Eastern Wu and does not enterprising, Donghe Sun Quan is still possible."
"Otherwise, the destruction of Sun Quan in the east is definitely the most important plan at present, and the plan that should be realized the most."
In the last words, Guan Ping's face was firm, and he thought very thoroughly.
After a while, Guan Ping muttered secretly: "After the defeat of the Battle of Xiangfan in the original history, Liu Bei should have also overturned Zhuge Liangdong and Sun Quan's plan, right?" ”
According to the development of the original history, in the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu's army was defeated, and in the second year after the loss of Jingzhou, after Liu Bei became emperor, he did his best to conquer the east with the elite of Shuzhong.
Before this battle, the old ministers led by Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun had opposing opinions, but Liu Bei was uncharacteristically and rejected Zhuge Liang's suggestion for the first time.
"Although Liu Bei woke up at the last moment, it's a pity that the time is late!"
