Chapter 209: Jiaozhou Movements
Jiaozhou.
The thirteen states of China, Jiaozhou is located in the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, since the Qin Dynasty has been a wild land, the southern barbarian, the barbarian inhabiting place.
It has been a wild area since ancient times!
Merely.
Since he took office, he has rectified the rule of officials, improved the people's livelihood, and eliminated bandits to protect the territory and the people.
In a short period of time, Shixie's prestige in Jiaozhou skyrocketed.
Since the great chaos in the world, because Jiaozhou is too remote from the Central Plains, the transportation connection is inconvenient, and because Cao Cao avoided Liu Biao to become bigger, the court ordered Shixie to be the governor of Jiaozhou and the seven counties of Jingzhou.
It is precisely in this way that after more than ten years of development, Shixie has become the actual helmsman of Jiaozhou, and has appointed his relatives as county guards to control local counties.
However, in the fifteenth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan sent Buqi into Jiaozhou, but Shixie surrendered to Eastern Wu and was listed as the general of Zuo by Sun Quan.
As the Shi family has a deep-rooted foundation and prestige in Jiaozhou, although they surrendered to the Wu army, they still sit in several counties in Jiaozhou, and Shixie is also an out-and-out warlord.
Cochin.
Dragon Weaving City.
Left General's Mansion.
"Elder Shi, Qiu deliberately rushed to Jiaozhi this time, and he came to meet you on the order of Wu Hou."
"Wu Hou hopes that the elder can reorganize his army and fight, lead the people to the north, send troops to Guiyang, and capture Jingzhou."
A seat fell.
Bu Qi stood aside, his face resolute, and muttered.
When the words fell, the first member of the group had pale hair, his beard was already gray, and he was over eighty years old, but his demeanor was radiant, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help muttering and pondering.
Half ringing.
His face was solemn, and he said slowly: "General Right, attack Jingzhou?" ”
"Is this really a good time?"
For a moment, Shi Xie's eyes moved slightly, but his heart was extremely reluctant to send troops to attack.
Although Jiaozhi is far away from Jingzhou, and there is also a primeval forest in between, the impact of the battle of Jingzhou is also very well known to him.
Dealing with the evil Han army, he doesn't want to!
At the beginning, he decided to lead the people to attach to the Wu army, but it was also due to the fact that Cao Cao's Chibi was newly defeated and unable to go south, and Liu Bei's power was weak, and the land south of the Yangtze River was the strongest in Sun Wu's power.
Therefore, when Bu Qi was ordered to enter Jiaozhou, Shi Xie avoided fighting together, and the whole army under his command was lost, so he led the people to cling, the purpose was to preserve his strength.
In terms of the current situation, he has already received definite news that the Wu army took advantage of the Jingzhou army's large-scale northern expedition and used its main force to attack Jiangxi, but the final battle situation was that the Jingzhou army defeated the Wu army and forced Sun Quan to cede land and sue for peace.
This move also completely made Shi Xie see the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army.
He just wants to preserve his strength, and at this moment, Sun Quan wants him to lead the crowd to attack Jingzhou, so he is naturally extremely unwilling!
"General Right, at present, the main force of Wuhou has been newly defeated in Jingzhou, the morale of the army is lost, the combat strength has not yet recovered, and the hinterland of Jiangdong has only been destroyed by the Shanyue Rebellion.
"Xie Xiang, with the strength of my Jiaozhou alone, to resist the wolf-like Jingzhou army, I am afraid that I will hit the stone with an egg!"
Speaking of this, Shi Xie couldn't help but show fear on his face, his eyes were solemn, and he said: "According to the intelligence, Guan Ping, the eldest son of the former general Guan Yunchang, is brave and strong, and Xie is afraid that no one in our army can stop his edge. ”
"Xie thinks that our army will continue to be silent, waiting for the main force of Wu Hou to recuperate, and then raise the Northern Expedition, so that the overall situation can be achieved!"
Seeing this, Bu Qi saw Shi Xie's refusal, but he didn't know his plans, so he couldn't help but frown, and secretly thought.
Since he entered Jiaozhou to force Shixie to lead the crowd to attach, he was named the right general by Sun Quan because of this merit, and he was assassinated in Jiaozhou and stationed troops in Cangwu County, so as to peek into the southern part of Jingzhou.
This time, Jingzhou was defeated, Sun Wu lost his troops and surrendered his generals, and ceded land to seek peace, Sun Quan naturally couldn't swallow this breath, so how could he be willing to give up?
It's a pity that due to the great loss of his own strength, he can't continue to fight against the Jingzhou army.
At the critical moment, it was Lu Fan who offered advice in danger and sent an envoy to Jiaozhou to assassinate Shi Buqi, asking him to contact Shixie to attack Jingzhou with the army of the Shi family.
Now, Bu Qi saw that Shi Xie was prevaricating in order to preserve his strength, and he was displeased, but after all, he had a request for others, and he was still smiling on his face, and muttered: "Shi Lao's words are wrong!" ”
"Now is the best time for us to send troops to attack Jingzhou."
"Huh?"
"General You, why did he say this, the Jingzhou army has just won a great victory, and the morale of the army is at its peak, and it is difficult for our army to shake it."
"How could this be a good time?"
When the words fell, Shi Xie also showed a slight smile and stroked his beard.
Hearing this, Bu Qi couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the old man only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other!" ”
"Although Wu Hou suffered a setback in the battle to capture Jingzhou, the Jingzhou army was not comfortable."
"They first went on the Northern Expedition, fought with the elite Cao army in Xiangfan for several months, the army had already suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the soldiers was also low, and then they fought with our main force, and the situation was not optimistic!"
"In this battle, although the Jingzhou army barely won, it is also the end of the strong crossbow, and the soldiers are already vulnerable!"
"Qiu can guarantee that once the old man leads the people north to Jingzhou, he will be able to push the front and advance, and he will be unstoppable, and he will directly take the four southern counties and divide all the south of the Xiangjiang River into his rule, and then the troops will come to Jiangling, an important military town in Jingzhou."
"At that time, Marquis Wu will once again unite with the King of Wei and send troops south from Xiakou and Xiangfan to besiege the Han army."
Speaking of this, Bu Qi's face couldn't help but become thicker, his eyes were firmly fixed on Shi Xie, and he said loudly: "At that time, the Jingzhou army will have iron-blooded combat power, how about Guan Ping being brave and strong?" ”
"After all, it's hard to beat two fists and four hands!"
The voice settled slowly.
I have to say that this speech is extremely infectious.
If this were someone else, maybe he would really be moved by Bu Qi, and then the Northern Expedition would be raised.
Who is Ke Shixie, he has lived for nearly ninety years, and he has already seen the world and the situation in the world very thoroughly, how can he be easily deceived?
"The right general is too worried!"
Hearing this, Shi Xie smiled, and he didn't want to offend Wu Jun, so he muttered: "Xie, let's be honest, our army is located in the southernmost part, and in the past ten years, due to the peace and tranquility in the territory, there have been few wars. ”
"The soldiers have also been neglected in the battle formation for a long time, and their combat power is extremely weak, on the other hand, the Jingzhou army is a tiger and wolf that can compete with the elite Cao army, and it is not easy for our army to protect itself, and the Northern Expedition is already delusional!"
"I also hope that General Right will explain the situation to Marquis Wu and truthfully tell us about the predicament."
The voice settled.
Shi Xie refused again!
Seeing this, Bu Qi's face became more and more solemn, and he knew that at present, Shi Xie had made up his mind not to send troops.
After a half-mutter, he took a step back and couldn't help but say, "Senior, if that's the case, what do you think of this?" ”
"You summoned the garrison Chen soldiers on the border of Jingzhou, looked down on the territory of Guiyang, and made a posture of wanting to go north at any time, forcing the Han army to be unable to settle down and develop internal affairs and people's livelihood."
"Senior, how is this policy?"
When the words fell, Shi Xie thought for a while, and said, "General Right, this matter can still be considered!" ”
"Then, you go down to rest first, and wait for the old man to discuss the matter of entering the army with the generals under his command, and then inform you."
"General Right, what do you think?"
"Good!"
"It's just that if the Jingzhou army is developed, with Guan Yu's aggressive ability, not only will my Jiangdong hinterland be threatened by it, but Jiaozhou will also bear the brunt of the war."
The voice fell, Bu Qi reminded him, knew it, and slowly retreated, waiting for news.
"Humph!"
"Sun Quan'er is really uneasy and kind!"
"He had just been defeated, so he wanted to pull our army into the water and fight the Han army, so that I completely enmity with Liu Bei, and finally had no choice but to unite with him against Jingzhou."
"This person's scheming is really gloomy!"
After Bu Qi left, the face of the leader Shi Xie changed suddenly, and his face suddenly showed a cold color, snorted coldly, and said with righteous indignation.
A seat of words.
"Then I don't know how my brother should choose?"
"Is this Jingzhou attacking or not?"
The next moment, in the screen behind the house, there was an old man in green shirts who was over seventy years old, and there were several people with him.
