Chapter 272: Zhou Yu's Calculations
Exian County, in fact, is the later Wuchang.
At present, this county seat is a county seat of Jiangxia County in the east, but it has long been included in the territory of Jiangdong with Sun Quan's several crusades against Jiangxia.
It is only separated from Anlu County, Jiangxia by the Yangtze River.
From Exian, it only takes two days for the army to reach Anlu for reinforcements.
At present, Jiangdong Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to be stationed inside and outside the city of E. Zhou Yu is leading his troops to Hubei
Since then, I have been sick, and I have been sick.
However, before he fell ill, Zhou Yu ordered to build the city wall of Exian County, increase it, strengthen it, and hoard grain, grass, and equipment. Therefore, although Zhou Yu was sick, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the city did not stop.
Every few days, a large ship from Jiangdong arrived at the Exian ferry, and then truckloads of grain and supplies were transported into the city by the soldiers.
The first envoy sent by Zhuge Liang was called Ge Yun. This person was originally from Nanjun, and later Zhuge Liang recruited officials in the name of Liu Qi to attract the people of Jingzhou to Jiangxia, and Ge Yun was one of them.
However, Ge Yun is a person who understands, he knows that Liu Qi is finished, and Zhuge Liang is just using the name of Liu Qi to do things for the Guan family.
Ge Yun is talented, so Zhuge Liang made Ge Yun the main book, responsible for the clerical management, and cited him as a confidant. Therefore, An Lu was so urgent, Zhuge Liang sent Ge Yunnan to ask for help.
But it has been two days since Ge Yun arrived in Exian County, and he galloped on the road for a day, but he didn't see Zhou Yu's face, and Ge Yun was very anxious in his heart.
Ge Yun was arranged to stay in a mansion in the city, although he couldn't see Zhou Yu, but the Jiangdong side did not restrict Ge Yun's freedom.
On this day, Ge Yun had already asked to see Zhou Yu twice, but he didn't see him. In the afternoon, Ge Yun couldn't hold back any longer, called the five horsemen who came with him, and rode to Zhou Yu's mansion with his sword.
Zhou Yu's mansion is located in the central area of the city and is also a temporary residence. Zhou Yu had no property in the city. After Ge Yun came to the outside of Zhou Yu's mansion, he was immediately stopped by the guards and soldiers.
After some ink, Ge Yun was invited in by the guards, and the riders were left outside. Ge Yun was invited into the study and saw the round-faced Lu Su.
Lu Su opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Ge Yun cutely.
"Why are you Lu Zijing again. What I want to see is Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Dudu. Ge Yun couldn't bear it anymore and stomped his feet and said.
However, Ge Yun had visited Zhou Yu many times in the past two days, but he had been dealing with Lu Su.
"The Governor is seriously ill and unconscious. So I had to receive him. Lu Su was a little embarrassed, and said with his hand, and the toes of his buttoes began to play tricks again, playing in circles.
"Really unconscious?" Ge Yunhu said suspiciously.
"I'm unconscious." Lu Su nodded hurriedly, but his thumb turned faster.
Lying is not a good habit, Lu Su hates lying, but in life, there are always helpless things.
"Except for the Grand Governor, is there anyone in charge of the barracks? Such as General Cheng Pu, General Huang Gai? Ge Yun asked.
"No more. Before leaving, Marquis Wu ordered the Governor to take full charge of the army. At present, the generals are leading their own people, and they are not subordinate to each other, and no one can suppress anyone. ”
Lu Su shook his head decisively and said.
"That's right. When the Governor woke up, he told the Governor. I Ge Yun don't admire him. Ge Yun's face was very ugly, and then he brushed his sleeves away.
"Sir, are you going back to Anlu to recover your life?? At present, Anlu is in the midst of a big war, why don't you stay in Exian for a while. To avoid war? Lu Su saw that Ge Yun was planning to go back to Anlu, and out of embarrassment, he couldn't help but call.
"Thank you for your kindness. But my country is hanging upside down, and I can't ask for reinforcements, but I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, and I will live and die with the prince (Zhuge Liang). Ge Yun snorted coldly, walked out of Zhou Yu's mansion without looking back, and then called the riders to return to Anlu.
"True righteous people, too." Lu Su stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his round face showing a look of shame. Then he went out of the study and went to the back house.
In a small hall in the back house, Zhou Yu was reading a book in a thick robe. Zhou Yu is tall, but his physical fitness is average, and he is afraid of cold.
Although Zhou Dudu felt very cold, he couldn't let go of the papers, and he kept studying, so how could he be half sick.
This is also the reason why Lu Su is ashamed.
"Zijing. Is Ge Yun gone? Zhou Yu heard the movement, put down the bamboo slip and looked up, and saw that it was Lu Su who asked with a smile.
"I'm going back to Anlu." Lu Su said.
Zhou Yu showed a little seriousness when he heard this, and sighed: "An Lu is now in the midst of a big war, and if I don't send reinforcements, most of them will be broken." Ge Yun led people back to Anlu, but he was a loyal person. That Zhuge Liang also has some ability to win people's hearts. ”
Lu Su thought for a while, tilted his head and said, "Gongzhen." Jiang Gongyan came to Jiangdong to ask for help, and the lord ordered you to send troops to Exian County, ready to rescue An Lu at any time. Now you can't help but stay sick. But do you want to let Cao Jun and Guan Jun annex each other? ”
"Yes and no." Zhou Yu shook his head, reached out to the teapot on the desk, poured a bowl of water for himself, and also poured a bowl for Lu Su, got up and handed the water bowl to Lu Su.
Lu Su straightened up and took the water bowl, and asked suspiciously: "Yes or no?" ”
"What does Zijing think of the Guan family?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile, reached out and grabbed the robe behind him, and returned to his seat to sit down.
"Tough and strong." Lu Su said without thinking. Speaking of this, Lu Su had to sigh with emotion, the interesting boy he saw in Wu County in the past is now a prince, and it is really a beautiful thing for the father and son to dominate the world side by side.
"yes. Strong and brave. Zhou Yu was also grateful, and then said: "In my opinion, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to defeat Xinye." If he can't defeat Xinye, he can't rule Jingzhou calmly. Jingzhou must be ours or the Guan family. The Guan family is in Jiangxia, and this partial division must be removed. And Zhuge Liang is a character, his garrison of Jiangxia will inevitably be able to block the Cao army for a while, and it can also make the Cao army lose some soldiers and horses. This is to borrow the hand of Cao Jun to get rid of Zhuge Liang and pull out the Guan family's city in Jiangxia. and borrowed Zhuge Liang's hand to kill and injure Cao Jun. ”
Lu Su scratched his head when he heard this, and understood, this is not annexing each other, this is sitting and watching Cao Cao annex Zhuge Liang.
"If Cao's army breaks through Anlu, Zhuge Liang will die in battle. The Cao army is connected to the land of Jingzhou, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Jingzhou will be shaken, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are all mediocre talents, and I am afraid that the state will surrender. Lu Su said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid. The Guan family is still stationed in Xinye, even if it is Cai Mao, Zhang Yun surrendered. Cao's army could not all go south to Jingzhou. On the contrary, if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun surrender, the Jiangxia Navy in front of us will inevitably collapse. We first defeated Huang Zu and Wang Wei, and then went west along the river to occupy the public security. Go south to the four counties of Jingnan. And the scholars of Jingzhou have always refused to accept Cao Cao, although Cao Cao won Jingzhou, he also needed to be anxious. Our 30,000 naval army attacked and harassed the counties on the north bank, leaving Cao's army exhausted. In time. On the part of Jiangdong, it occupies Xiangyang, Nanjun, and Anlu. The second Jiangdong can occupy Nanjun, Anlu, and let Guan Yu occupy Xiangyang. ”
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and his words were very calm and heroic.
It is impossible for the surname Guan to wear the same pants as the surname Sun. Historically, Cao Cao's horse infantry army went south and annexed the Jingzhou naval army, but he didn't care about buying people's hearts in Jingzhou, and hurriedly went south to fight Sun Quan to the death.
It was a time of great urgency.
Cao Cao got everything almost without a single soldier.
And now, Cao's army can't break into Xinye first, and then divide his troops to attack Anlu, which will inevitably be lost. The Jiangdong Navy is in Exian County, and it will defeat Huang Zu and Wang Wei first, and then the Navy will be able to run rampant.
Even Zhou Yu did not dare to go ashore to fight with Cao's army, but the attack on the surrounding counties made Cao's army unpeaceful, and even attacked the people, plundered the people, and made Jingzhou's agriculture abandoned.
And Cao Cao needed to transport grain from the north to feed the army. And Guan Yutun is stationed in Xinye, which naturally threatens the grain road.
Over time, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat.
This is Zhou Yu's calculation.
Zhuge Liang wanted to ask Sun Quan to save his life, join forces of the two families, and fight Cao Cao. Everyone knows this.
But Zhou Yu wanted to swallow Jingzhou alone.
This is the difference between resisting Cao's army on the front line and being comfortable in the rear.
Lu Su heard that he had some sympathy for Zhuge Liang, but as a Jiangdong minister, he was not emotional. just sighed: "Anything else is okay, but I'm really sorry for Zhuge Ziyu." Zhuge Liang is his second brother. Hey, I hope Zhuge Liang can calmly retreat when the city is broken. No matter how difficult it is to cross the river to Exian, we can also take care of him. If he wants to come to Jiangdong to work, he can also recommend him. ”
"But it is impossible, every man for his own master. I can't do it for my own sake. Zhou Yu shook his head and said.
But Zhuge Jin is a long-sleeved and good dancing figure within the Jiangdong forces, and he can talk to anyone, General Huaisi, Jiangdong Shi Clan, Northern Shi Clan.
Zhuge Jin and Zhou Yu are also friends.
But obviously Zhou Yu is such a person who does big things and doesn't care about small things. It is also possible to sit back and watch a friend's brother die, or to be indifferent.
The one sitting in the back can plan calmly, but it has made Zhuge Liang, Chen Lan, Lei Xu, Jiang Wan and others suffer.
Cao Jun Xu Huang and Zhang He launched a fierce attack from the north gate and outside the east city gate, and the battle has lasted for two days.
The next evening.
As the sun sets, it fades away.
"Ding Ding Ding !!!!" Cao Jun finally sounded the sound of gold and retreated like a tide. Chen Lan in the city, although she really wanted to sit down and rest.
The defending sergeants also wanted to be able to sit down and rest. But Chen Lan still dragged her tired body and said loudly: "Shoot arrows, shoot as many soldiers as you can." ”
The archers in the city took advantage of the return of the Cao army under the city, as well as the return of the well cart and the ladder cart, bent their bows and shot arrows, and left a few Cao soldiers behind.
This time, the defenders couldn't hold on. Chen Lan took the lead and sat on the ground, not caring that the ground was full of blood, and then opened her mouth to gasp.
The same is true for the rest of the defenders. Some people simply lie on the ground, close their eyes and fall asleep.
It's miserable, it's so tiring.
A day is as long as a year.
