Chapter 154: Sun Quan, Cao Cao's reaction
Jiangxia Governance, Xiling City.
This city can be regarded as full of disasters and difficulties. Huang Zu ruled Jiangxia, the government was corrupt, the greedy and flattering people became officials, and the honest and good people were dismissed.
The people have a hard time.
But if that's all, compared to the continuous wars in the Central Plains, Jiangxia's life is still better. But the problem is that the rebellion of the military revolution has arisen again.
Huang Zu was greedy for pleasure, and did not repair the city wall, repair the warship, and train the soldiers for a long time. Last year, when Sun Quan came to attack, Huang Zu sent his son and son Huang Shot to fight, but he was defeated, lost several cities, and was taken captive by many people.
Barely guarding Xiling.
If it weren't for the Jiangdong Shanyue Rebellion and Sun Quan's timely retreat, Xiling would probably have changed hands.
This year, Sun Quan personally commanded tens of thousands of naval troops to march west and invade Jiangxia. This time, Huang Zu didn't dare to fight, just stuck to the city, and then asked Liu Biao for help.
At this moment, Sun Quan has attacked Jiangxia for three days in a row, and the two sides have killed and injured each other, but Sun Quan has the upper hand, seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, and suddenly heavy rain falls from the sky, so that Sun Quan can only stop and defend the camp.
On Xiling City, under the raging rain, the flag hung down weakly, like a frosted eggplant, Yanba.
The corpses in the city have been removed, but the blood stains have not had time to be cleaned, and even if the rain washes them, there are still many remains, which is very tragic.
With a good view during the day, it is impossible for Sun Quan to sneak attack the city. And with such a heavy winter rain, the soldiers have a high chance of contracting the wind and cold if they are drenched in the rain, so except for a few soldiers on guard, there are not too many soldiers in the city.
Su Fei, the governor of Jiangxia, was dressed in a robe, wearing a hat, and pressing the hilt of his sword with an iron armor hand, and took a few personal soldiers to inspect the city wall, and finally came to the front of the city gate tower.
Su Fei put his hand on the women's wall and watched the Jiangdong camp. The handsome flag of the word "Wu" stands on the gate of the camp, looking at it with fear, and the big camp is interlocking, killing every step.
Su Fei sighed and said, "Sun Quan is very fierce in seizing the heart of Jiangxia. Jiangdong will fight hard to attack the city, if it is not for the heavy rain, Xiling City is afraid that it will be dangerous. ”
"Although Sun Quan is indeed powerful, there is no heavenly help. This sudden and heavy rain is ironclad proof. Now Liu Gong has sent the general Wang Wei to command the naval army to the south to rescue Jiangxia. The tide of battle is stable. ”
One of Su Fei's personal soldiers said with a smile.
"Hey." Su Fei still sighed, this little soldier only looked at the present. Jiangdong Sun Quan is so powerful, it was only a fluke that he encountered heavy rain to keep the city, if next time, what about next time?
Looking at the Jiangdong camp from afar, Su Fei couldn't help but think of his good brother Gan Ning again. In the past, Gan Ning used stratagems and planned to defect to Jiangdong Sun Quan.
I don't know why, I went to Liu Bei, the general of the left, and was awarded the title of general and became a captain.
This time Su Fei got the news that Gan Ning and Guan Ping went south to the three counties together. Wang Wei originally went to fight for the three counties, but he had to go south to reinforce Jiangxia.
When Su Fei heard this, his heart was also complicated.
I don't know whether to be happy or worried.
Ay.
.............
Under the same sky, the Wu army camp is naturally indispensable to the attack of rain. The soldiers and soldiers of Xiling City rejoiced in the heavy rain.
Governor Su Fei was worried.
The Wu army camp was angry and helpless because of the heavy rain.
"Jiangxia Huangzu, old and useless. My army marched westward, and it only took a few more days to storm and enter the city, killing Huang Zu to avenge the old lord, but I didn't expect the mandate of heaven to be like this. ”
The veteran general Cheng Pu led his troops to inspect the camp, wearing a robe, and suddenly looked at the sky, indignant.
The soldiers around Cheng Pu were very helpless, feeling that their generals were resentful of the sky, was it too disrespectful.
Will there be retribution? Thunder and thunder?
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Quan and the round-faced Lu Su were playing chess.
Sun Quan's chess skills were taught by his mother, Mrs. Wu, but he grew up under Zhang Zhao's abuse. Sun Quan was in awe of Zhang Zhao and rarely played chess with Zhang Zhao.
This time, he did not bring Zhang Zhao with him when he sent troops abroad, so that he could stay in the future and sit in Wu County.
Without Zhang Zhao by his side, Sun Quan felt relaxed. Playing chess with Lu Su, Sun Quan was very interested, because Lu Su's chess skills were not comparable to him.
There are always winners and losers.
But now Sun Quan is not in the mood to play chess, seeing that he is about to break the city and kill Huang Zu and occupy the southern region of Jiangxia, but it is raining heavily.
"Old Huang Zu, your life should not be extinguished." Sun Quan threw his son into the box, stood up with a sigh, and walked around with his hands in his hands, his expression could not hide his depression.
"You need to know the way of using soldiers, seven points of human strategy, three points of destiny. Now we are not at fault in using our troops, but it has rained a winter, so it has fallen short. Why should Wu Hou be obsessed? Lu Su also threw his son into the box, and then moved his toes very boredly, and said lazily.
"Seeing that the great work has been completed, but the success has fallen short, how can you not be lingering?" Sun Quan asked rhetorically.
"Is it useful to linger?" Lu Su persevered and asked rhetorically.
"It's useless." Sun Quan was speechless, and after a long time, he shook his head and sat down. Then he let out a long sigh and said, "Seeing that Cao Cao is encroaching on Hebei and unifying the north. Lone needs to enter Jingzhou, and there is a Yangtze River moat for his own use. Once the Huangzu is marched, the more the mountain drags down. The second expedition to Huang Zu, winter rain fell from the sky. Could it be that this destiny is really in Cao Cao and not in Lonely? ”
Sun Quan is a very person with a very far-sighted vision. He went to Jiangxia even to conquer Jiangxia, but there was no result. Seeing Cao Cao's pride, he was naturally worried.
It's not just because he hasn't captured the city in front of him.
Lu Su also glanced at Sun Quan sympathetically when he heard this, and thought. Luck really doesn't work.
The two were talking, when a soldier walked in from outside. Holding a bamboo tube in his hand, he came up and offered it to Sun Quan.
The bamboo tube was a little wet, Sun Quan held the bamboo tube and pulled out the plug, and took out the silk from it, but it was news from the north. After Sun Quan glanced at it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Lu Su was moved when he saw this, and he probed his brain to watch. Seeing this, Sun Quan handed the silk to Lu Su, who took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Guan Yu actually attacked the three counties?" Wang Wei led his troops to fight for the three counties, but returned to Jiangxia halfway? Didn't we help Guan Yu for nothing? ”
Sun Quan was even more depressed and sighed: "This is luck." ”
"But Zijing, we all thought that Guan Yu couldn't sit in Liu Bei's position before, but we didn't expect Guan Yu to not only sit down, but also his power was still rising. This person's plot is not small. ”
Immediately, Sun Quan said.
"It's really beyond my expectations, Guan Yu is arrogant and rude, how did he appease the civil and military, and how did he want to attack the three counties to expand his living space?"
Lu Su was also puzzled, and scratched the back of his head with his hand. At the same time, Lu Su's mind involuntarily appeared Guan Ping's figure.
What if this guy is doing something?
I have to admit that Lu Su's intuition is very terrifying.
As for Guan Yu's attack on the three counties, Lu Su looked very open. said: "Although Liu Biao is incompetent, he is as strong as an ox, and it is very difficult to attack. Guan Yu sat big and encroached on the north of Jingzhou. Marquis Wu attacked Jiangxia in the south and entered the four counties of Changsha. If the two sides work together to encroach on Jingzhou, it is not a bad thing. ”
As a strategist, putting aside the depression of doing Guan Yu a great favor for free this time, Lu Su felt that this matter was still beneficial to Jiangdong.
"Mr. Gu feels that Guan Yu is sitting big, and this matter is not a good thing." Sun Quan shook his head and said.
The word Guan Ping also appeared in his mind.
Sun Quan has never seen Guan Ping, but he has helped Guan Ping promote Mi's wine, and he also knows that this person is only thirteen this year.
At the age of thirteen, he led his army to conquer the three counties.
Sun Quan instinctively felt that this person was not trivial.
.................
Hebei, Yecheng!
In February this year, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were at odds and sent troops to attack Yuan Tan. Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter Yecheng and took advantage of it. Then the power spread to the whole of Jizhou.
And Jizhou is the base camp of Hebei, and there are only high-level cadres left, and Yuan Tan is just dry bones in the mound. Cao Cao had almost unified the north, only a small step.
After entering Yecheng, Cao Cao sent people to sacrifice Yuan Shao and wept loudly. Immediately, he killed many of Yuan Shao's grandsons, as well as the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao, all wanted to kill. But at this moment, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Youzhou, while Yuan Tan was still bouncing in Qingzhou.
Cao Cao couldn't kill it for a while.
In addition to erasing Yuan Shao's existence in blood, Cao Cao also incorporated Yuan Shao's women, not only Cao Cao, but also the father and son of the Cao family.
The famous Hebei native, Zhen, entered Cao Pi's back house.
During these days, Cao Cao hugged many women, drank and had fun, and some were complacent.
Cao Cao is a person who is easy to be complacent. When Wancheng was conquered, it was because he was complacent and hugged the Zou family, which led to the rout of the army, and Dian Wei and Cao Ang were killed.
But Cao Cao also has excellent points, and he can change his mistakes.
After a long period of decadence, Cao Cao regained his strength. Cao Cao walked out of the back house, no longer messing with the woman, but summoned his son Cao Zhang, to watch Cao Zhang's cavalry.
Yuan Shao's mansion in the past, Cao Cao's new nest at this moment.
The mansion is huge, especially the front yard. Cao Cao was dressed in a black robe, and stood in the courtyard with his hand on the hilt of his sword. On the left is Xu Chu, Xu Chu's waist is very thick, fierce and vicious, and there are many pro-soldiers nearby.
In front of Cao Cao, Cao Zhangzheng was galloping on his horse, holding a strong bow in his hand, the bowstring vibrating, and arrows flew out, hitting the target in front of him.
No matter what distance or angle, Cao Zhang can shoot the target and hit the heart.
"Yes, yes. Huang Xu'er's martial arts are growing. Cao Cao smiled and touched his beard very happily.
"Come on, give the son a thousand horses and five hundred gold." Cao Cao said to a small official beside him.
"No." The little officer said yes, and immediately went down. At this time, Cao Zhangze's horse came to Cao Cao's side, turned over and dismounted and bowed: "Father, my son doesn't want money, I hope my father can allow my son to be a soldier, so that my son can go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
Cao Zhang is only fifteen years old this year, but he is strong, capable of fighting fierce beasts, and is very brave. He developed very early, his beard was already long and yellowish.
That's why Cao Cao is called Huang Xu'er.
Cao Zhang is not happy to study, likes martial arts, prefers Wei Qing, Huo Quai, often arrogant, hoping to learn from Wei Huo, lead 100,000 troops to run rampant in the desert, and establish immortal feats.
At this moment, Cao Zhang saw that Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he took the opportunity to lead the troops. Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Guo Jia, a military sacrificial wine, walked in from outside.
