Chapter 239: Wang Lan

Zhou Wei sent an envoy to Beishan, not alone, but also accompanied by Wang Lan, the envoy of the great general Cao Ren.

In fact, this was a very simple war, Huainan had already been emptied, and the counties in the southern part of Guangling County south of Huaishui cut by Cao Pi were only hundreds, and the people's taxes could not support the local officials.

The only important stronghold in the entire Huainan region is Shouchun, the secondary is Shaobei, and again Hefei.

The Wei army defeated Shouchun, and the Wu army naturally couldn't hold the so-called Huainan land, but Cao Xiu, who was responsible for blocking the Feishui and Chaohu passages, had to run for mourning before sending troops, delaying the fighters and failing to block the Feishuikou at the first time.

Failing to lock the Feishuikou, the main force of the Wu army successfully reinforced Shouchun City, and the war went to the ...... that the Wei army tried to avoid Stalemate.

The Han army in Nanyang has begun to mobilize and assemble, and the Wei army has also begun to gradually mobilize the armies of Yanyu, Qingxu and Xu, and the Huainan problem must be solved before the decisive battle in the Central Plains breaks out.

or knock off Sun Quan's last face and force Sun Quan to surrender completely; or completely abolish the Wu army, let it mess with itself, and wait for the back to free up Jiangdong again; Or prop up a new king of Wu to continue to pin down the flanks of the Han army.

Therefore, the Wei army that participated in the war was very anxious and had to return to the Central Plains to participate in the decisive battle.

Zhou Wei was only the guarantor of the envoy to Beishan, and it was Wang Lan who was really responsible for negotiating with Zhou Wei, and Cao Ren, as a general, could give more preferential treatment than Cao Xiu's authority.

As long as Song Qian's troops in Beishan changed banners and watched from the wall, the 30,000 men of Cao Ren, Zang Ba, and Xiahou Shang, who arrived two days later, would be enough to sweep the Wu army on the east bank of Feishui.

Song Qian needed to consider this matter, so Situ Wang Lang's nephews Wang Lan and Zhou Xiao paid homage to Liu An Temple in the mountains.

Wang Lan's brother Wang Xiang is the protagonist of the twenty-four filial piety 'lying on the ice and begging for carp', begging for fish for his sick stepmother Zhu, and because his mother Zhu wants to poison his half-brother Wang Xiang, Wang Lan is also the protagonist of the twenty-four filial piety 'Wang Lan fights for the donkey'.

How to say this matter, I can only say that 'the king and the horse share the world' is very powerful.

After worshipping Liu An Temple, Wang Lan and Zhou Wei looked down on Pan Jun's camp more than 20 miles away on Bagong Mountain.

At present, the camp is still harvesting trees to strengthen fences, antlers, or digging trenches to strengthen the camp.

"The Wu army intends to hold on, waiting for Liu Bei to leave the Central Plains, and at that time our army will be attacked by the enemy."

Zhou Wei explained the situation for Wang Lan: "Shouchun is a strong city in Huainan, and Lu Fan is an old minister of Jiangdong III. ”

"The main force of the Wu army is on the side, and it is difficult for our army to encircle Shouchun, so the method of forcible attack is not feasible, and even if the city is broken, the gains outweigh the losses."

Zhou Wei pointed to Pan Jun's camp and said: "If Song Wenxin changes his banner anyway, with Pan Jun's newly established camp and the army that has been defeated for a long time, it will be attacked suddenly, and it will inevitably collapse. ”

Zhou Wei was convinced of what he said, his eyebrows were calm, as if he had seen Song Qian Yizhi, and Cao Ren drove straight into the camp of Pan Jun.

Even if he can't break through Pan Jun, who was attacked suddenly, he can still interfere with the Wu army and make it impossible to continue to strengthen the camp; Two days later, Xiahou Shang's main force of 30,000 people arrived, with 50,000 Wei troops and 50,000 Pan Jun, no matter how you look at it, you can destroy the withering and decay to solve the battle.

When the time comes, whether it is peace talks or a U-turn to fight Shouchun, this local war can be quickly resolved.

Does Wei need Shouchun?

It is not very needed, but the Wei army that participated in the war needs the Wu army very much to practice the sword, and with the victory of Wu, the morale of Zi Neng turned around to meet the Han army.

The Huainan Wu Army is just a thing for the Wei army to sacrifice its flag, that's all.

The only mistake was that Cao Xiu made a mistake here and failed to block the main force of the Wu army's reinforcements; I didn't expect Sun Quan to be so crazy, and after successive defeats, he dared to raise up the army again.

There is no way, Jiangdong is really not short of grain, and grain production does not rely very much on the prime-age labor force; Going out to fight a war has the advantage of boats, the foot distance is convenient, and the food consumption is still small.

Being able to bring enough rations for three months at a time can naturally assemble the army so efficiently.

Wang Lan wiped the folding fan to cover his forehead, squinted at the slightly blurred Pan Jun camp in the distance, he was slightly short-sighted, he couldn't see the specifics clearly, only saw the banners, the clothes were mainly green Wu army haunted in the dark green reeds, should be harvesting reeds, or cutting down trees, mixed together is not easy to identify.

At the foot of the mountain, Cao Ren led his eldest son Cao Tai and Zang Ba to inspect the Song Qian Department stationed on Bagong Mountain.

Song Qian has deep qualifications, and is at the same level as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and the reason why it is not obvious is because Song Qian lacks the ability to develop and protect the trilogy when the music system is prevalent in eastern Jiangdong.

This shortcoming became an advantage when Pan Jun organized and trained the new army, and all his units were newly organized and trained by the new army of Dawu.

The elite of the new army was developed by Sun Quan into a new guard force, that is, the Relief Battalion and the No Difficulty Battalion, which got along with Sun Quan day and night, and selected the new army officers.

At this moment, the Wu army in turquoise clothes lined up in the grass and trees in the mountains, and the flags fluttering were confused with the trees.

Separated by five or six miles, roughly speaking, the Wu army seems to be integrated with the grass and trees on the mountain, and the soldiers are like plants and trees.

Cao Ren glanced at the Wu army's position on the mountain a few times, and lowered his eyebrows and couldn't help but think of the Han army.

How would the Han army fight?

He didn't care about the Wu army on the mountain, Guan Yu left at most a reserve team to guard, and the other Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Tian Xin would intersperse from the bottom of the mountain and go straight to Pan Jun.

Even Liu Bei would fight like this, relying on strong armor and high morale, and the current Han army is so arrogant on the battlefield.

It doesn't matter at all whether the flanks are safe or not, the target is often the central head of the enemy.

In the first battle of Hankou, the fighting enthusiasm of the Han army was very high when it counterattacked, and they only stared at the Wu army officials.

Copying the mentality of the Han army during the Battle of Hankou, he will definitely not look down on Song Qian's head now, and he will definitely go to get Pan Jun's head.

If he was facing the Han army, Pan Jun would not have been able to make such a bold formation, and he should not get off the ship easily.

Under the shade of the trees on the mountain, Song Qian hung a dark green cloak and was pacing with a sword.

What happened to Da Wu Xinjun? The new army is also the Wu army, and it is also a human being, and the morale is high and limited.

At this moment, if you watch from the wall and let Cao Ren lead the army through, it will be difficult for the Wu army to win the battle of Huainan, unless lightning strikes from the sky and kills Cao Ren.

But Cao Wei needs to play on his own here?

It is impossible, more than 2,000 military officials of the forbidden army are still logging and farming in the Linfu Mountains; Even the Han army, which lacked military officials, was reluctant to recruit military officials, let alone the Wei army, which had fierce internal competition.

I am already old, and after switching camps, I will not be reused, and I will implicate my children and grandchildren, in-laws, and friends.

The cost of surrender has always been high, unless Sun Quan appears on the battlefield and has a chance to catch it all.

But Sun Quan has already learned to be obedient, and now he is setting fire to the ship, and Sun Quan is unwilling to get off the ship to participate in the war.

After hesitating, Song Qian couldn't decide.

Wang Lan and Zhou Wei came back in a circle, and Song Qian was embarrassed: "I serve Jiangdong Yili III, he will be able to surrender, but I can't." ”

Wang Lan pointed to the formation of the Wei army and the Tuhuang army under the mountain, which was ready to be drawn at any time, and said: "Sun Quan mutilated the people and goods, and did not care about the hardships of the people, how is it different from the people? Today, my Great Wei has a million, and the general personally raised 300,000 troops to attack Wu, and Jiangdong will be powdered, and the general is foolish? ”

Zhou Wei also gave up his hand and persuaded: "The general may wish to think deeply, the more tomorrow, the more than 100,000 troops under the general of Zhennan will come along the Huaishui, and Bagong Mountain is not enough." ”

Song Qian glanced at Zhou Wei, then at Wang Lan, and arched his hand: "I am a Wu general in life, and a Wu ghost in death, and it is useless to persuade again, so I will lead the troops to fight." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look to the side, and saw his own soldiers coming up, Wang Lan also arched his hand: "The general is precious." ”

Wang Lan turned away, and Zhou Wei sighed: "If the general changes his mind, he can send an envoy to discuss again." ”

After saying that, he turned around and threw his sleeves, and a small bamboo tube flew out of his sleeve and gently landed in the meadow beside him.
