If it is carried out according to Zhou Yu's plan, it is of course possible to eat away at the power of the Guan family in Jingzhou, and even completely sweep away the power of the Guan family.

After all, according to intelligence, the Guan family's power is not very stable.

This does not refer to the hearts of the people or officials, but to the army.

Even though there are millions of people in the Guan family, there are 100,000 armor.

However, the troops were too scattered to defend Xinye, Hanzhong, Fangling, Jiangxia and other places. As long as Jiangdong and Yizhou exert their strength, the destruction of the Guan family seems to be just around the corner.

And as long as you can destroy the Guan family, you can get Jingzhou.

Then the Jiangdong forces cannot be called the Jiangdong forces.

It can be called the "Wu Chu force".

Jiangdong is the land of Wu Yue, and Jingzhou is the hinterland of Chu State, so it should naturally be called Wu Chu power.

If this force is formed, then it is not false to Cao Cao.

Jiangdong Sun's family is indeed the home of destiny.

Ying Sima's heart was pounding.

"Although there is an opportunity, the ancients said that nine points depend on human strategy, and one point depends on the will of heaven. What the situation is, it will not be set in stone. Besides, whether it can be done or not, you still need to fight with all your might. Victory is not easy to achieve. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, although his spirit was bright, he was not arrogant, but very cautious.

"No." The battalion Sima responded with a bang, and his morale was extremely high.

..............

A large ship marched west along the river and headed for Yizhou.

Zhou Yu's plan, of course, was to report to Sun Quan first. Sun Quan sent Gu Yong, the left Sima of his own shogunate, as an envoy to Chengdu.

Zuo Sima is a military attaché, but Gu Yong himself is a member of the Wu County scholar clan and is good at handling government affairs. Therefore, he led Zuo Sima, but in fact, he was in vain.

Gu Yong himself is a strategist who gives advice.

In history, Sun Quan was called the emperor, and Gu Yong was the second prime minister.

Gu Yong stood in the wind and looked at the west, touching his beard. He has white skin and a beautiful beard, good facial features, a majestic figure, and a graceful bearing.

A waiter walked out of the cabin, holding a black daqi in his hand, and the waiter draped it on Gu Yong's body and persuaded him: "Sir, the bow of the ship is windy. ”

Gu Yong nodded, turned around and entered the cabin. In the cabin, a charcoal fire is baked. On the charcoal fire, warm the wine. This is not Mi's wine, it's ordinary wine.

The waiter scooped up a glass of wine from the pot and handed it to Gu Yong, who drank it all and felt that his body was much warmer.

"Although Mi's wine is good, it is too strong and hurts the body." Gu Yong handed the wine glass to the waiter, and the waiter filled the wine glass again, Gu Yong drank it in one gulp, then stopped the glass and fell silent.

"Sir seems to have a lot on his mind." Seeing Gu Yong's complexion, the waiter said cautiously.

"This trip is very important, if Liu Zhang does not send troops, the metropolitan governor will not be able to stand in Nanjun. Even if it is done, there are still many variables. It's a heavy burden on my shoulders. Gu Yong said, and then said with a smile: "What I said to you, you don't know." ”

Gu Yong shook his head, got up and said, "I want to sleep." The waiter hurriedly tidied up the bed, took off his shoes and socks for Gu Yong, and went to the crown and hat clothes.

Gu Yong closed the futon and fell asleep.

There was a sudden silence in the cabin, except for the crackling sound of the charcoal. The waiter sighed and said, "Why fight?" ”

He really didn't understand what Gu Yong was talking about, but he knew that the war was very cruel and would kill many people.

A few days later, the big ship came to the north bank of the Yangtze River in the south of Shu County and landed, after informing the nearby county government. The local county government dispatched personnel and horses to escort Gu Yong to Chengdu.

At the same time, the county government first dispatched a fast horse to Chengdu to report the news.

Afternoon, Chengdu.

Since Zhang Ren led the army of Shuzhong to Micang Road to set up defenses, the troops of Bazhong have been extremely large. The Chengdu side has very few troops, only a small number of soldiers and horses such as Wu Yi.

This creates a huge problem.

It's not a problem of defense caused by the reduction of troops. It's a matter of arranging the horses and soldiers.

Food routes are a big problem.

Originally, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Shu, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Ba. The grain produced in Shu is supplied to the army of Shuzhong, and the grain produced in Bazhong is supplied to the army of Bazhong.

Non-interference.

Food doesn't just come by saying, it's first and foremost produced in the farmland. Then the government collects taxes from the peasants and assembles them.

The counties collect grain from the pavilion and the lizhong, and the county collects grain from the counties. Among them, the process, the attrition.

The first is that it is eaten by rats or spoiled for various reasons.

The second is that the counties of Shu County sent people to escort the grain to Chengdu, and the farmers ate it on the way. Therefore, if you raise a large army, you must choose the nearest supply of grain and grass.

Otherwise, recruit people and eat on the road. It not only consumes people's power, but also loses food.

Cao Cao's 200,000 horse infantry army went south, but it was from the Central Plains, Hebei mobilized a large amount of grain to the south, the grain road was extremely long, coupled with Zhao Yun's attack, which was an important reason for Cao Cao's retreat.

Can't hold it.

And in such a situation, there are soldiers and horses in Shu, and there are soldiers and horses in Bazhong, which is extremely reasonable. But because Zhang Ren led most of the soldiers and horses in Shuzhong, they were stationed in Micang Road.

According to Zhang Ren's plan, the strength of Yan Yan in Bazhong was increased to 15,000, including 10,000 naval troops. Wu Ban's army was maintained at 10,000, and Pang Xi's army was restored to 10,000.

There are as many as 70,000 or 80,000 troops in Pakistan.

In addition, Guan Ping's last trip south to Pasir County led to the ruins of Langzhong City, and it was difficult for Israel's grain to feed so many large troops.

Grain had to be transported from Chengdu, first north to Mianzhu and Luocheng, and then east to Bazhong, where two large rivers had to be crossed.

The men were recruited, the men lost food, the mules and horses were eaten, and the ferries were prepared. It's a lot to spend. In the long run, Yizhou will inevitably become impoverished.

This is a problem that Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and others also know, but because Guan Ping is strong, he has to be so reckless and so armed.

It is to drink the donkey to quench thirst, as it is.

"Hey."

In the study room of the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Zhang had just dealt with some problems in this regard with the subordinate officials in the Assassin's Shogunate, and he only felt dizzy.

Liu Zhang let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead.

At this moment, Pei Qing, the chief bookkeeper, walked in, bent down and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, there is news from the Jiangyang County Order. said that it was the Jiangdong envoy, and Gu Yong arrived. ”

Because Huang Quan stayed in Rice Cangdao, and the main book could not be vacant for a long time. Liu Zhang appointed Pei Qing as the chief secretary.

"I have no dealings with Jiangdong Sun Quan, what did he send envoys to do?" Liu Zhang was puzzled at first, and then suddenly said: "Sun Quan is currently competing with Guan Yu for Nanjun, and he wants to use my strength. ”

Although Liu Zhang was sluggish, he fought with Guan Ping twice, and the loss was not large, but he had the upper hand. Although he has Bashu, he can't beat Guan Ping.

Liu Zhang has also become sensitive and sensitive. And this matter is not difficult to guess, so Liu Zhang immediately woke up.

"Summon, don't drive Zhang Song, engage in Zheng Du, and General Wu Yi come to see." Liu Zhang thought about it for a while, chose three important ministers that he thought of, and said to Pei Qing.

"No." Pei Qing agreed, bent down and retreated. Not long after, Zhang Song, Zheng Du, Wu Yi, and Pei Qing came in, and sat down after seeing each other.

Liu Zhang glanced around at the four of them and said, "Sun Quan sent Gu Yong to see me, I'm afraid they will arrive in Chengdu." Not long ago, news came that Sun Quan and Guan Yu were fighting for Nanjun. I'm afraid it's a stalemate now. Gu Yong's intention was to ask for help. What do you think? ”

Zhang Song raised his eyebrows, but he felt rare.

"I didn't expect that under the external force, the lord was much more alert."

Wu Yi's face was expressionless, but his eyes flashed, and his heart was also the same as Zhang Song's. Zheng Du didn't have so many distractions, and couldn't wait: "Lord." Guan Yu can't be allowed to gain power. If Sun Quan hadn't sent someone here, it would have been difficult for us to borrow the battle of Nanjun, otherwise it would have caused misunderstanding. Now Sun Quan sent Gu Yong to come, but he didn't care about it anymore. And Bajun Yan trained the navy and repaired the warships, just enough to send him 15,000 elite soldiers to help. However, they have come to ask for help, so they may as well provide food and grass. ”

The speed of speech is extremely fast and the flow of the clouds is smooth.

Obviously, Zheng Du has been thinking about this for a long time.

"What Zheng said is very true." Liu Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Zheng Du's thoughts coincided with him. But Liu Zhang was suspicious by nature, so he turned to Wu Yi and Zhang Song and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Zhang Song arched his hand and said, "What Mr. Zheng said is very true. ”

"The last general thought so."

Wu Yi said expressionlessly.

"Okay." Liu Zhang made a decision and said heavily.

Immediately, Zheng Du, Pei Qing, Wu Yi, Zhang Song and other four people went out of the study together, and Zhang Song, Wu Yi, and Zheng Du went out of the Assassin's Mansion.

Zheng Du went first, Zhang Song, and Wu Yi slowed down.

Zhang Song saw Zheng Du leave in the car, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Wu Yi, who turned over and got on the horse, intending to leave. Suddenly, he shouted, "General Wu." ”

"Don't drive?" Wu Yi said expressionlessly.

The face is expressionless and deep, Wu Yi has always been like this, not aimed at anyone. However, Wu Yi was a little surprised in his heart, because Wu Yi and Zhang Song had no friendship.

The political identities of the two sides are also distinct.

"What does the general think will happen to the battle of Nanjun?" Zhang Song narrowed his eyes, and said unclearly.

Wu Yi took a deep look at Zhang Song and said: "The tiger wolf of the Guan family, the wealth wolf of the Sun family, and the tiger and the tiger meet, who wins and who loses, who can know?" ”

"What General Wu said is that tigers and wolves are just fighting. My generation can only watch from the wall. Zhang Song smiled, arched his hand towards Wu Yi, and then let the coachman set off.

Wu Yi watched Zhang Song's frame leave, and there was some speculation in his heart.

"Zhang Song is a native of Yizhou and is in a high position, but because of his temperament, he has many disagreements with Yizhou people. Listening to his tone, there was something strange about his thoughts. This man is not a loyal man, but a man of insidiousness. ”

Wu Yi shook his head and led his own soldiers to ride away.

This matter will be put aside for the time being, because Zhang Song has no way to deal with him no matter what.

These Dongzhou scholars are not vegetarians either.

And as long as it doesn't involve his own interests, Wu Yi doesn't bother to care what Zhang Song wants to do.

No matter what Zhang Song and Wu Yi thought, they did not organize Liu Zhang's decision this time. The next day, Gu Yong came to Chengdu, Liu Zhang warmly entertained Gu Yong, and the two sides reached an agreement.

Liu Zhang issued an order ordering Yan Yan to lead 15,000 men and horses, including 10,000 sailors and 5,000 infantry troops, down the river and attack Zigui.

The money and grain were supplied by the Jiangdong side.

Gu Yong agreed.

He was originally Liu Zhang's indecisive personality, and if he wanted to persuade Liu Zhang, he would need to spend a lot of lips and tongues, and there was the possibility of mission failure, so he was worried.

I didn't expect things to go very well.
