Chapter 356: Governing the State!
The situation in Chengyang City is not good.
In an instant, Zhou Yu reacted to where this unexpected elite army came from. Anger is also felt.
He was despised for him.
Zhou Yu sent light cavalry to inform Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Huang Gai was actually a bit far away for a while, because after Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, Huang Gai also pulled out the camp and withdrew his troops, and he needed to retreat with 20,000 soldiers and a huge number of baggage.
Of course, there was no way to attack Chengyang at the first time, but Zhou Tai was in the west of Chengyang City.
Chengyang City West Zhoutai camp. The "Zhou" character flag is hung on the camp gate, and there are many patrols and guards standing guard in the camp tent, even if it is very idle now, but the soldiers of the Zhou Taijun also maintain vigilance and the ability to fight at any time.
It's an elite team.
In the big tent, Zhou Tai received Zhou Yu's order.
"What !!!"
Zhou Tai stood up, then his face changed, and he said angrily: "Zhuge Liang, Li Zhengan dares to despise me. ”
Zhuge Liang set up this plan and ordered Li Zheng to go out of the city to attack Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu felt despised and Zhou Tai was even more so.
"Point !!" Zhou Tai was furious, ordered his soldiers to take orders, and then put on iron armor. After that, he got on his horse and oversaw the siege of the city.
There were no accidents.
Zhou Tai breached Chengyang City, and Zhuge Liang led thousands of militiamen who were not very trained to resist for a while, first letting the people retreat, and then the army retreated.
After Zhou Tai led his troops into the city, he set fire to the city, and the people and soldiers and horses simply left. It's just a pity that a lot of grain and grass are heavy.
After Zhou Tai succeeded, he did not pursue Zhuge Liang, but went back to the camp.
Because Li Zheng will rush back at any time, if he chases him, he may be ambushed.
Zhuge Liang led the people and thousands of militia to the south, and suddenly met Li Zheng before dark, and the two converged together, and sent spies to listen to the surrounding reality to guard against Zhou Tai, and then led people to a nearby county seat.
"Mr. Disappointed, this trip only killed one or two thousand people from Zhou Yu's department, and he lost hundreds of people. A small victory. But it was a loss. Li Zheng and Zhuge Liang rode in front, and Li Zheng was quite ashamed.
Although he was very resolute in marching and fighting, he was not good at horse fighting, and he was ashamed that he did not have the ability to lead the crowd to kill at the critical moment.
"Victory is victory, killing and injuring Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses is real. As for the weight of grain and grass, Jingzhou has a lot of land and resources, and it can always be recovered. Zhuge Liang comforted, but sighed in his heart.
This one is not only a loss, but a big loss.
It must be known that there is no spring ploughing and autumn harvest in Jingzhou this year, and how many people have not eaten, and they can't survive this winter, so they need to be taken care of by their families.
There is a lot of baggage grain in Chengyang City.
Ay.
And Zhuge Liang, Li Zheng didn't know that they shot Zhou Yu.
said that Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng's rush to kill was really unexpected by Zhou Yu. But after that, the Jiangdong people did not make any more mistakes, and sent scouts to inquire about the situation in both the south, south, and northwest.
Han Dang, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Ling Tong, and Lu Dai arrived at Sun Quan's Jiangbei Water Village first, followed by Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai last.
The army gathered in the Jiangbei Water Village. Since there was nothing to do, Yan Yan also said goodbye to Sun Quan and left, and with a heavy heart, led his troops back to Yizhou.
On the river, Yan Yan's naval infantry had already boarded the ship. Sun Quan stood on the shore and sent Yan Yan off.
"Thank you to the general for this battle. also thanked Liu Yizhou on behalf of Gu. Sun Quan bowed to Yan Yan very seriously, and his attitude was extremely sincere.
Although Yan Yanzhen didn't help much, he still helped.
And after this war in the future, I am afraid that the power of the Guan family will rise, and I am afraid that the two families will have to cooperate in the future.
"Wu Hou is polite." Yan Yan said, with some heaviness on his face, Yan Yan sighed: "The Guan family father and son are heroes in the world, and now they are proud, and they are afraid that they will be rampant immediately." Yizhou Hanzhong is occupied by Guan Ping, and the northern gateway is wide open. Jingzhou is occupied by Guan Yu, and the eastern gateway is wide open. My state is in danger. If the war starts, please ask Wu Hou to rescue. ”
"The general can rest assured, if the Guan father and son attack Yizhou. After Gu Bi led the Seventh Army to attack Guan. Sun Quan nodded in agreement.
Then Yan Yan boarded the ship and led the army to leave, and Sun Quan also led the army south, first arrived at the mouth of the oil river and joined Lusu, and then withdrew from the mouth of the oil river, passed through Changsha, divided the troops to garrison Changsha, Exian, Xiling City, and went to Caisang.
Sun Quan sent 130,000 troops in this battle, and recruited 10,000 county soldiers from He Qi in Changsha, totaling 140,000 troops. Many men and horses were lost in this battle, and there were about 110,000 left.
Sun Quan divided his troops into 30,000 infantry troops and stationed them in Changsha County, relying on dangerous mountain roads to defend Changsha. It is divided into 20,000 naval troops and 20,000 infantry troops, stationed in Exian County and Xiling City.
After that, the Sun family and the Guan family were probably bounded by Xiangshui. But to the east of Xiangshui, the Guan family occupied several cities such as Shunshan City.
The Sun family lost both the Yangtze River and the Xiangshui, and could only defend Changsha County in the future, and the only remaining cities in Jiangxia, such as Exian County and Xiling.
After this, Sun Quan still had an army of 40,000 left. Of these 40,000 troops, Sun Quan let Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others lead them to go back to Jiangdong to crusade against Shanyue.
Don't look at the great power of Shanyue, but the foundation of Jiangdong is also strong. There are still some county soldiers and militia soldiers in various places, and these 40,000 elite soldiers can save the situation when they go back.
Sun Quan stayed in Chaisang.
It's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to go back, in fact, Sun Quan really wants to go back. But Zhou Yu was seriously ill and dying, and Sun Quan had to stay.
In the bedroom of a mansion in Chaisang, the bedroom is full of medicinal smells. Zhou Yu was lying on the collapse, his face withered. Sun Quan sat on the edge of the bed, looking sad.
Lu Su stood in front of the bed, and his round face also showed a sad look.
Zhou Yu was shot.
At first it was fine, but then things were not good, until Chaisang ran out of oil.
"Wu Hou, I can't do it anymore. I asked the army to go out of the Yangtze River, not only defeated, but also lost Jingnan, and it was not a pity to die. But when people are dying, there are good words. Please also ask Wu Hou to listen to it. Zhou Yu's lips were chapped, the oil had run out, and it was very difficult to speak at the moment.
"Gong Jin is just sick, but he will be able to get better." Sun Quan grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and comforted.
Zhou Yu shook his head, smiled, then glanced at Lu Su, and said, "The Guan family's power is getting bigger, and I'm afraid that Liu Zhang in Yizhou will not be able to protect it." However, Jiangdong stubbornly defended Changsha, Jiangxia, and the south made good friends with Shixie, and crusaded against Shanyue internally, increasing the population and troops, but it could also protect itself. I originally wanted to assist Wu Hou and make contributions. Zhuge Liang, Li Zheng's arrow, but I can't afford it anymore. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Su again and said, "There are still more than a thousand remnants under my command, and Lu Zijing is enough to be a proper person." I can hand over my troops and horses to him, let him crusade against Shanyue, accumulate 10,000 people, garrison Jiangxia, and be the commander of the upstream. Please also ask Wu Hou Mingjian. ”
Sun Quan's eyes were red and he couldn't stop lamenting. But under Zhou Yu's eyes, he also nodded slowly.
Sun Quan at this moment is not the ruthless Sun Quan in his later years, after the death of his father and brother, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao assisted him to gain a foothold, and now Zhou Yu is also going to die, it is really like the sky has fallen.
Zhou Yu died that day. Sun Quan also appointed Lu Su as the general of Yokono Zhonglang in accordance with Zhou Yu's dying words, commanding Zhou Yu's old troops, crusading against Shanyue and making meritorious contributions, increasing soldiers and horses, and then establishing Jiangxia.
Sun Quan took Zhou Yu's coffin and returned to Jiangdong for burial.
However, it was said that the news of Zhou Yu's death was transmitted back to Jingzhou, causing a lot of waves.
After Cheng Yang was defeated by Zhou Tai, Li Zheng and Zhuge Liang continued to live together. After Zhou Tai withdrew his troops, the two led the army and civilians back to Chengyang.
Because Cheng Yang was set on fire by Zhou Tai, the two worked together to clean up the mess.
On this day, the sun was in the middle, Zhuge Liang and Li Zheng were standing on the east wall of the city, facing the west, looking at the city, only to see that there were many people, like ants, and they were vigorously rebuilding the city.
When the news came, the two looked at each other.
"Jiangdong Wenwu Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu also. Before Sun Ce died, he said that he asked Zhou Yu for foreign affairs and Zhang Zhao for internal affairs. Today, Zhou Yu died of an arrow wound, and Yu Sun Quan took an arm. For us, it's the trouble of the henchmen. The final blow, in fact, was not lost. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Although he comforted Li Zheng that day, he really felt sorry for the grain and grass in the city, and now it seems that not only did he not lose, but he also earned.
"At that time, the matter was urgent, but I didn't expect to shoot Zhou Yu in a daze. I don't know who shot that arrow. ”
Li Zheng sighed, also full of joy.
This matter reached Guan Ping's ears.
Guan Ping was surprised by this, but it was not difficult to accept. It is inevitable that the general will die immediately, and so will the minister.
Let's not talk about this time and space, Beibei was shot to death by Li Dian.
Let's talk about how many generals in history have been shot by "stray arrows", and there are countless of them. The famous ones in the history of the Three Kingdoms include Zhang He and Pang Tong.
Pang Tong led the crowd to attack the city and was shot to death.
Military advisors are also a high-risk profession.
In history, Zhou Yu was also because after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ren garrisoned Jiangling, Zhou Yu led his troops to attack the city, was shot by an arrow and was injured, and later died of a recurrence of old injuries.
Now he was shot dead by Li Zheng.
didn't escape fate, which couldn't help but make Guan Ping vigilant. In the future, when attacking Yizhou, it is necessary to let Pang Tong stay quietly by his side.
Can't let Pang Tong lead the crowd to attack the city, as a military advisor, he was killed by arrows.
In fact, it's also weird.
I won't mention this matter for the time being. For the Guan family, this war also ended here. It's like Sun Quan doesn't have the ability to have an all-round fire with the Guan family.
In fact, the Guan family was not able to pursue Sun Quan and fight Jiangdong.
Not to mention anything else, Sun Quan's operations in Changsha County, Xiling County, and Exian County are impregnable, and it is difficult to capture these two places without 200,000 troops.
Besides, if he led his troops to attack these places, would Sun Quan be a vegetarian and he wouldn't be able to reinforce him?
Not only is it not beneficial to fight Jiangdong, but it will lose the troops and generals, so it is better to take care of Liu Zhang and get Yizhou first. And Zhou Yu's death can be regarded as a full stop.
Guan Ping did not entangle with Sun Quan anymore, but ordered Zhang Bao, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong and others to repair in Zigui, while he led his soldiers and horses to the north to Xiangyang.
By the way, at present, Zhang Fei led his troops to occupy Jiangling City, and Ma Liang marched into the mouth of the Youjiang River. Jiang Wan and other infantry troops stayed in Shunshan City, while Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Liao Hua, Ding Feng and other sailors went back to Jiangbei Anxia Water Village.
Guan Yu went back to Xiangyang.
Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang in a hurry to settle Jingzhou.
As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to sit in the world. After Cao Cao and Sun Quan's ensuing tosses, Jingzhou was already broken.
If it is not governed, I am afraid that it will collapse.
After Guan Ping returned to Xiangyang, he pulled Guan Yu, Yin Guan, and Jian Yong to discuss important matters. In fact, Jian Yong is not in tune, and there is no need to look for him to discuss major matters.
But in the end, it was his own teacher, Guan Ping still invited this great god to sit down.
However, it is said that under the construction of Yinguan, Xiangyang has restored its former architectural layout and has also recovered some prosperity. The state pastoral mansion is huge and solemn.
In Guan Yu's study.
Guan Yu sat on the northern throne, while Guan Ping, Yin Guan, and Jian Yong sat on both sides.
"Father. Now Cao Cao is in the north and Sun Quan is in the east, both of which cannot be underestimated. Jingzhou is dilapidated, and it needs to recuperate and regain its prestige. ”
Guan Ping arched his hand and spoke.
Guan Yu glanced at this stinky boy and knew that there were a lot of ghost ideas, so he said, "Just say it." ”
"Ugh!" Guan Ping touched the back of his head, but he was not hypocritical, he was used to this stinky father, although his temper was very stinky, but fortunately, he obeyed him.
He just picked up the big seal in front of his stinky father and stamped it, so it didn't matter.
Father and son are like one.
That's the wonderful.
If the father and son are suspicious, it is over.
So Guan Ping talked eloquently.
Guan Ping thought a lot about how to govern Jingzhou, how to guard against Sun Quan, and how to guard against Cao Cao, so at this moment it is really like the surging Yellow River.
Although Guan Ping plagiarized Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, his positioning of Jingzhou was different from Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang advocated the Northern Expedition of Yizhou and Jingzhou. But sending troops from Jingzhou, without a huge cavalry, it would be difficult to defeat Cao's army.
And Sun Quan is the most unpredictable, the king of Wu of Great Wei.
Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Sun Quan.
Guan Ping's positioning of Jingzhou is defense, and it also supplies grain and grass. And the defense is to guard against Cao Cao and Sun Quan, which can also be divided into two.
Guan Ping wants to keep Jingzhou in the north of the Yangtze River alive, still known as Jingzhou, and let his father work part-time as a pastor in Jingzhou. It is necessary to designate the four and a half counties south of the Yangtze River as "Huzhou"
With Ma Liang as the assassin of Huzhou, integrate the forces of Jingnan and guard against Sun Quan. Of course, at present, in Changsha, a small part of Jiangxia is still in the hands of Sun Quan, and at present, there are only three counties in the history of Huzhou, plus a few Jiangxia cities, which is incomplete.
Cracked.
With this division, the purpose of their existence is clear. Huzhou was confronted by Sun Quan, while Jingzhou was confronted by Cao Cao.
The current three counties of Huzhou, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang, have not been destroyed by the war, and it will be easy for Ma Liang to integrate the forces of Huzhou.
Maybe there will be more food to feed the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou, which will not be mentioned for the time being. However, he said that Guan Ping did not interfere much in the governance of the dilapidated Jingzhou, but he grasped it in major matters.
This is the personnel and military appointments.
There's no way, although my father Guan Yu is the leader of the Guan family, General Zuo, Jingzhou Mu, Han Shouhouhou, military skills are at the full level, and politics is basically crippled.
You still have to Guan Ping to help find a good assistant to govern Jingzhou.
Guan Ping decided to reuse Yin Guan, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others.
