September of the first year of Jianxing (225).

In the southern and central counties south of Yizhou, the wealthy clans of Yizhou colluded with more than 100,000 barbarians to raise troops and attack the counties.

The first year of Jianxing, October.

Wei and Wu formed an alliance, with a total of more than 300,000 people attacking on all fronts, and the external side was known as a million soldiers.

In mid-October, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and his mansion offered a strategy to the Son of Heaven Liu Chan to quell the chaos.

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang personally took Chengdu into Chengdu, settled in the government and the opposition, and dispatched troops to fill all sides, and in a short period of time, he held the offensive of the three-way army, so that the Wei army could not approach the hinterland.

Meanwhile.

In Jingxiang, the news that the Wei general Cao Renhe, the people of the three states and the Jiangdong Sun Quan, sent more than 100,000 people to attack together, was naturally obtained by Guan Ping.

Merely.

Now that his army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Lingnan, Guan Ping naturally arrived in Guiyang to sit in the town, and after hearing the news of Wei Wu's attack, he gathered all the people in the camp to discuss countermeasures and sighed: "Mr. Kaitai said before the war that he would let the general pay attention to guarding against the Jiangdong Sun clan. ”

"It seems that things turned out as Mr. expected, Sun Quan united with Wei to attack our army again."

With Guan Ping's voice, and the battle report was circulated to each other, he also had a general understanding of the military situation.

When they learned that the Wu army had once again allied with Wei, and Sun Quan personally led 100,000 troops to Changsha and Guiyang counties, the generals showed anger and righteous indignation.

In the meantime, the general Gong Yuan gritted his teeth and said sharply: "The Wu people have betrayed their promises again and led the crowd to attack me, which is really hateful!" ”

A seat fell.

The generals said fiercely: "Prince." Please also give an order to let the last general lead the crowd to attack the Wu army, and this time this group of thieves will be destroyed. ”

For Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance again, the generals of Jingzhou reached the verge of anger and could not bear it anymore.

Because Guan Ping already has the title of Marquis of Yiling Township, and now his father is sitting in the court and no longer cares about Jingxiang's affairs, the generals naturally change their titles from "Young General" to Marquis.

Seeing that the generals were excited, gearing up, and eager to go up immediately to fight with Wu Jun, Guan Ping suddenly felt that the military spirit was available.

However, after pondering for a long time, he muttered, "Generals. Don't be impatient, since Jiangdong Sun Quan received the title of King of Wu and the honor of adding nine tin by Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, and in order to show his loyalty, he personally sent more than 100,000 people, and all the combat power of Jiangdong from the downstream to the top is easy to cooperate with the Wei army to sweep the Jingxiang counties, then this battle between our army and Jiangdong will be inevitable! ”

After a few words, Guan Ping's tone changed for a while, and he calmly analyzed: "But the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, but our army can't raise an army to fight the Wu army out of anger, and it is the best policy to think long-term, and prepare well to meet the battle." ”

"Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance is hateful, but the generals can't lose an inch because of this!"

"After all, we are all too familiar with Sun Quan's character."

Guan Ping slowly calmed the generals' emotions.

At the mention of this, Guan Ping calmed down a little, and then his expression suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "Everyone." It has been nearly a month since our army's southern expedition, and only two days ago did the two generals Shamoke and Zhang Nan send back the latest battle report, saying that they had defeated more than 20,000 people led by Shiwu who had been formed by Shixie with all the strength of Lingnan near Huai'an, the border between Hepu and Yulin, and swept the entire territory of Hepu and Yulin counties, and then continued to pursue the enemy army and attacked Jiaozhi County, Shixie's base camp. ”

"It's only a matter of time before our army sweeps Lingnan and integrates it into the territory of Jiaozhou."

After talking about the situation slowly, Guan Ping was in a good mood, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at the middle-aged general sitting on one side and asked slowly: "Brother Gongju." You have once represented our army as an envoy to meet with Shixie, and you are very familiar with the geography of the Jiaozhi area compared to us. In your opinion, how long will it take for the troops of Shamoke and Zhang Nan to come to the city and clear the rebel forces in Lingnan? ”

Hearing this, Fei Shi on the side thought for a while, and then replied without thinking: "Junhou." The poem probably guesses that it will take two or three months to wait for the soldiers to come to the city. ”

"Why is it taking so long?"

This was asked by a young general in the hall.

This person was a talent who was hired when Guan Ping presided over the Jiangling policy and martial arts when the Xiangfan Battle came to an end, and the person who fled from Yangzhou to Jingxiang was named Yunteng.

Because of his skillful bow and crossbow and martial strategy, he was assigned to Cangwu Gong Yuan to guard Cangwu County afterwards.

In the past few years, he has also made many military exploits, and gradually led the crowd to clear away the local bandits, and was gradually promoted to the position of captain.

"That's right."

"Captain Yun is reasonable, our army is now a succession of victories, and with the combat strength of the Lingnan soldiers, it is a defeated army, how can our army be able to resist stubbornly for so long?"

After Yun Teng finished speaking, the rest of the people also echoed their words.

Seeing the disbelief of the generals, Fei Shi smiled gently, and then slowly explained: "You may not know! ”

"When the poem sent Jiaozhi to meet Shixie, he once passed the post road leading to Jiaozhi, and the road was still the most stable road, but there were still many dense forests blocking the road on the way, making it difficult to pass, if it was a march, it would inevitably greatly delay the speed of the march."

"As for the rest of the trails, there is no need to talk about them at all, they are not overgrown with weeds, the roads are blocked by poisonous insects and beasts, once the enemy army withdraws and uses all the strength of the army to build a defensive line on this line to resist, it will cause great trouble to the advance of our army."

At this point, Fei Shi paused, his face suddenly became heavy, and he said sharply: "Of course." The most important thing is that this is not the case, because the three counties of Jiaozhi, Rinan, and Jiuzhen are far away from Jingxiang, and Shixie has been entrenched in Lingnan for many years, reforming measures internally, improving people's livelihood, and actively leading the troops to suppress bandits externally to ensure the safety of the people. ”

"Now the people near Jiaozhi are extremely reverent for Shixie, and even more so to the point of worshipping him."

"Even though our army has won successive battles and recovered the counties of Jiaozhou, the prestige of the Shi family in Jiaozhi is still too strong and it is difficult to take it quickly in a short time."

For a while, Fei Shi recalled the battle situation and scenes when he was on the mission, and analyzed the specific information as objectively as possible.

After listening to Fei Shi's analysis, Guan Ping's heart gradually bottomed up, and then he faced the generals and said in a deep voice: "Everyone. Ben Jiang originally waited for Shamoke and Zhang Nan to gain an advantage, so he personally went to Nanhai County to include this place. ”

"The South China Sea is the most densely populated area in Jiaozhou, and it is also the most economically prosperous area, and it is also a necessary place to connect the Jiangdong regions, but the plan has not kept up with the changes, and now with the attack of Wei Wu, I am afraid that there will be no way to devote myself to the southern expedition, I am afraid that the South China Sea and his party need to be done by a certain general here."

Slowly.

Guan calmly stared at Ning Fei Shi for a while, and said loudly: "Brother Gongju." Can you lead the troops to recover the South China Sea and hold this place instead of the general, so as to prevent the Jiangdong side from sending troops to take it? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing that Guan Ping had dispatched his troops, Fei Shi was still in a trance for a while, but after a while, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"This battle will live up to the expectations of the prince."

Fei Shi firmly accepted the order.

After discussing the matter, Guan Ping then cut to the chase and said: "I really don't hide it from you, Ben Jiang insisted on conquering Lingnan in the south at that time, and he was preparing to take the Lingnan counties as the leading, raid from the rear of the Jiangdong flank, and break through the Guild, Wu County and other important places in one fell swoop. ”

"It's just that Jiangdong has not betrayed the alliance at that time, and Ben Jiang is worried that this matter will leak out and affect the alliance between the two sides, so he will hide it, since Sun Quan now chooses to rely on the Wei army to attack my Jingxiang land, then Ben Jiang naturally has no worries!"

After a while, Guan Ping's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Sun Quan and Jiangdong's full strength came to fight for Jingzhou, I am afraid that the intention of planning Jiangdong with Jiaozhou will be put aside for the time being." ”

"Judging from the situation of the Wu army's downstream attack, they should be approaching Dongting Lake from the waters of Xiakou in a big way, so as to fight for Luoxian, an important town in Changsha, and Baqiu, the center of Nanjun and Changsha, in order to cut off the connection between the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangling, and isolate our army so that they can encroach on the four counties step by step by virtue of the advantage of strong troops."

"At present, it seems that Ben will personally sit in Changsha and fight with that Sun Quan, and fight a battle!"

"Then after the general leaves, the Southern Expedition will depend on General Gong and Brother Gongju."

The words fell.

Guan Ping even got up and saluted Gong Yuan and Fei Shi solemnly.

Immediately, the two of them hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The prince is serious, we will not disgrace our mission!" ”

……

Merely.

Just when Guan Ping was planning and deploying the next step, Jiaozhi at this time also underwent an extremely major change.

Shi Xie, a long-lived old man who has always been in good health and is over 90 years old, has passed away!

It turned out that since Shiwu led the people to resist the defeat of the Jingzhou Army's Southern Expedition on the front line, Quan Cong, who was secretly covered by the former Buqi, has also been hidden in Jiaozhi Shixie to serve as a military position, and has never been found to have any clues.

Therefore, although Buqi was defeated and forced to retreat to Jiangdong, he still hid.

In the past few years, Quan Cong has also secretly cultivated a team of warriors who dare to fight, and he also took this opportunity to enter the mansion to force Shi Xie to death, and imprisoned the Shi family with lightning speed.

The scholar family is destroyed!
