Chapter 338

At first, Liu Xie still wanted to argue with reason, because on the surface, he was still the emperor. Jiang Li is a single woman again. Such a beauty is fully qualified to enter the palace. Of course, Liu Xie can't say that he has sent someone to investigate Jiang Li's life experience, let alone know that Jiang Li and Liu Cong have an old relationship.

The emperor didn't say it, and Liu Cong couldn't say it, anyway, he insisted that Jiang Li was born in a Qinglou, which would damage the majesty of the royal family! And the age is on the older side, and the emperor may soon get tired of it.

Liu Cong's anger at the beginning to his patient persuasion later also made Liu Cong laugh secretly in his heart. Xin said, I know that it used to be your woman, and it is understandable that you don't want her to enter the palace. But if she doesn't enter the palace, I will have one less helper! The two monarchs and ministers were so deadlocked in front of Xun Yu and others, and finally broke up unhappily.

In fact, Liu Cong's behavior is completely normal in the eyes of Liu Xie and Xun Yu.

As soon as the emperor arrived in Xiangyang, he had to take in his former woman, and Liu Cong couldn't be silent anyway. Seeing Liu Cong's fierce opposition, Liu Xie could only take a step back, and wait for Liu Cong to return to Xinye before summoning Jiang Li into the palace.

And it is impossible for Liu Cong to continue to play with this overhead emperor in Xiangyang. The battle between Nanyang Cao Jun and Liu Jun continued, and there were casualties among each other, and Liu Cong was anxious to rush to Xinye for dispatch. Liu Cong had just arrived in Xinye, and the envoy from Jiangdong had also arrived at the same time.

The person who came was Gu Yong, a subordinate of Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Gu Yong, Ziyuan sighed. He is a native of Wu County, Wu County, his great-grandfather Gu Feng, and the Taishou of Yingchuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Gu Yong was young, he worshipped Cai Yong as his teacher and learned to play the piano and calligraphy. He is quick-witted, quiet and single-minded, and his art industry is progressing, and he is deeply loved by Cai Yong. Cai Yong gave it a name. Therefore, Gu Yong has the same name as his teacher Cai Yong ("Yong" has the same sound as Cai Yong's "Yong"). And because he was praised by the teacher, he sighed.

Later, he was recommended by the state and county, and when he was weak, he served as the mayor of Hefei, and successively served as the county magistrate of Lou, Qu'a, and Shangyu, and he had achievements everywhere.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan comprehended the Ji Taishou, and when he did not go to the county, he took Gu Yong as the county and acted as the Taishou, and Gu Yong sought to get rid of the thieves, so that the county boundary was quiet, and the officials and the people were submissive. A few years later, he entered the shogunate of Sun Quan as Zuo Sima.

Cao Cao and Liu Cong fought in Nanyang, and as Liu Cong's ally, Gu Yong was sent as an envoy at this time, which also shows that Sun Quan attached great importance to Liu Cong in Jingzhou as an ally. And the news brought by Gu Yong made Liu Cong's subordinates very excited.

It turned out that Sun Quan sent Gu Yong to jointly raise troops to attack Cao Cao. It was hoped that Liu Cong would be able to send troops to attack Runan while containing Cao Cao's army, and that he would be able to send troops from Jiangxia to besiege Hefei and Zhangliao. And Sun Quan also plans to send troops in two ways, all the way to attack Hefei, and all the way to the north to attack Xuzhou!

Out of respect for Gu Yong, Liu Cong agreed to Sun Quan's request and sent someone to send Gu Yong out of Jiangxia, but after Gu Yong left, Liu Cong kept frowning.

"Lord, it's a good thing that Sun Quan raised troops to attack Cao together, why are you depressed?" Liao Hua, the captain of the personal guard, was very puzzled, when Guan Yu attacked Xuchang and Cao Cao returned to the division, Liu Cong also scolded Sun Quan for being short-sighted and not knowing how to pursue. Now that Sun Quan has taken the initiative, it will naturally disperse Liu Cong's pressure to a large extent.

"Yes, lord, Sun Quan attacked Hefei, Cao Cao must divide his troops to rescue, and the pressure on my Xinye will be much less?" Zhao Yun was also puzzled, this Gu Yong came all the way to Xinye. Liu Cong also agreed to send troops from Jiangxia to cooperate with Sun Quan in attacking Hefei. How could this wait for Gu Yong to leave, Liu Cong's head seemed to be bigger.

Liu Cong didn't answer the two, but turned his gaze to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, what do you think?" ”

"Lord, Sun Quan came to ask for an attack at this time, and he also felt that it was a little inappropriate, but he couldn't think of a reason."

This Sun Quan actually sat idly by and ignored Cao Cao when he was in a hurry, and it could be regarded as selling a favor to Cao Cao, so as not to think about going south to Yangzhou as soon as Cao Cao was idle in the future. From this point of view, Fa Zheng can also understand it. But now that Cao Cao and Father Liu Cong are differentiated, what is he here to join in?

"Xiaozhi, do you remember the battle of Guanze?" Liu Cong couldn't think of it when he saw Fazheng, so he reminded him.

"The Battle of Guanze?" Fa Zheng also suddenly became nervous when he heard this.

"That's right, the Battle of Guanze. Sun Quan is not a good bird. The last time Benxiang fought fiercely with Cao Cao in Fancheng, he sent Zhou Yu to raise troops from Chaisang to take advantage of the situation. And I saw through it, and I reversed the direction, sent the infantry into Jiaozhou, and took the opportunity to occupy Jiaozhou. This time, he definitely won't come to help, and he won't really attack Cao. So......

Fa Zheng is familiar with military books, and he naturally knows the battle of Guanze.

As early as after the Shang monarch's reform, the Qin State entered a new historical period. In 340 B.C., Shang Ying used a strategy to defeat the Wei army, and the 100,000 Wei troops in the Hexi Valley were annihilated, and the new army of Qin won the first battle, and in the same year, it invaded south and defeated Chu. The increasingly powerful state of Qin plunged the countries into extreme panic, so Gongsun Yan ran to the countries to unite the six countries to resist the Qin.

Zhang Yi of Wei entered Qin as a strategy to weaken Qi Chu. So Qin, Wei, and Han He attacked Qi, and Zhang Yi was Wei. Qin Gongzi Yinghua did not lead the Qin army to attack the Qi camp at night as agreed by Zhang Yi, and as a result, the Wei State secretly communicated with the Qi State, and as a result, the Wei and Qi coalition forces echoed before and after, and the Qin army was defeated by the inside and outside. The history is known as the Battle of Guanze.

In the battle of Guanze, Gongsun Yanming united with Qin to attack Qi, and as a result, he secretly colluded with Qi and raided the rear of the Qin army, causing the Qin army to be defeated, but Yinghua killed 20,000 Qi troops with 10,000 Qin troops, and Qi won a miserable victory, although Qin was defeated but suffered little loss. Zhang Yimeng, Han Wei, and Qi suffered a setback.

However, Gongsun Yan's policy of cooperation and indulgence was recognized by all countries. This was the first time that Shang Jun had lost a battle since the law change. The Wei State secretly colluded with the Qi State, attacked it shamelessly, raided the rear, and acted as a villain.

"Lord, could it be that this Sun Quan wants to emulate that Gongsun Yan Dynasty and Qin Dusk Chu?" Fa Zheng thought of the battle of Guanze, the Qin army was defeated, and the Qin State almost lost his life when he defeated Yinghua! If Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia or Changsha from behind at this time, it would easily lead to chaos in the army's mind, no wonder the lord was so worried.

"In view of the previous lessons, we have to guard against it. But now that Cao Cao personally led a large army to attack Wei Yan, Wei Yan was almost unable to withstand it. The other parts of our army could not withdraw from the war...... "Troubled times are such grinding people, the more you worry about something, he will come!" This Sun Quan is also quite good at things.

chose to strike when Cao Cao and Liu Cong were in a stalemate. Cao Cao won, then waved his army west to capture Jiangxia and take the four counties of Jingnan. When Cao Cao was defeated, he attacked Hefei and Xuzhou. In the end, Cao Cao and Liu Cong may be inseparable, and the national strength is empty, but Sun Quan has benefited and expanded his territory!

Therefore, Liu Cong can't lose this battle, and it must end as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Sun Quan succeeds, he will drive Ma Chao and Zhang Lu in the West to grab food. This chain reaction is more contagious than the plague! At that time, each prince can be said to have moved troops to Liu Cong in order to save the emperor.

"Xiaozhi, do you have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy? As long as Cao Cao can retreat quickly, Sun Quan's wishful thinking will inevitably fail. ”

"Lord, since we mentioned the Battle of Guanze, why don't we make more use of the Scouts, the Jinyi Guard, and the Espionage Division?"

"Huh? It works! The specifics are up to you! Fa Zheng talked about Jinyi Wei and the Espionage Division, and Liu Cong naturally understood that another reason for the defeat of the Qin army in the Battle of Guanze was this. The Qin army is brave and good at quick wins. But that time they were at odds with the enemy. As a result, they were infiltrated into the army by the enemy's scouts, and some of the deception sergeants were mixed in, which demoralized the Qin army and made the enemy know them well.

Now Cao Cao is definitely striving for a quick victory. Moreover, Cao Jun has a large number of soldiers, and it is relatively advantageous to fight a decisive battle in the field, if Liu Cong makes good use of it, he may be able to recover the situation soon. But this kind of thing can't be done by ordinary people.

Fa Zheng gladly accepted the order, and then Liu Cong redeployed to various places. Jiang Qin replaced Gan Ning to garrison Deng County, and although Deng County was attacked by enemy troops, as long as he could not hold out, there should be no major incident. And Gan Ning was transferred back to the Jiangxia Shaxian camp.

Deng Xian, who escorted Liu Zhang to Jingling, was ordered to go to Changsha to strengthen the Changsha garrison. In this way, Gan Ning can carry out large-scale recruitment in Shaxian on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also a deterrent to Jiangdong Sun Quan!

After the deployment of Xinye, Liu Cong led Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and others with 20,000 infantry to the Wei Yan camp to help, leaving 10,000 infantry to garrison Xinye. After all, in addition to disrupting Cao's army by stratagem, Liu Cong could not be timid on the frontal battlefield.

I have to say that Cao Cao is also a military expert, and Liu Cong defeated such a triangular formation, which quickly allowed him to find a breakthrough point. This point is precisely because there is no protection of the city, and it is between Wancheng and Xinye. Therefore, Liu Cong specifically arranged Wei Yan here.

But if you really want Cao Cao to retreat, you must either defeat him head-on, or let his backyard catch fire. Now it seems that both are more difficult. Liu Cong only hoped to confront Cao Cao in this Nanyang realm. Such a stalemate between the two sides is not good for both sides. But in comparison, it is even more disadvantageous to Cao Cao.

The main battlefield is now closer to Liu Cong's base camp. Moreover, four of Liu Cong's six deployment points are supported by cities. And Cao Cao only has one Wancheng, and Liu Cong has not yet come to attack. Therefore, Cao Cao had to pay double the price if he wanted to take any city.

And now Cao Cao's troops are not enough, and if he continues to mobilize from other regions, the logistics will become more and more difficult. What's more, after nearly a month of contact, it was freezing on this day, and camping was a great loss. At least the city can be fed and clothed.

When Liu Cong traveled, Huang Zhong's cavalry naturally did not sit idle, following the rear of the large army, preparing to adopt attack tactics against Cao Jun. Of course, in the battle of Fancheng, Huang Zhong's cavalry had an unexpected effect. This time, Liu Cong was ready to repeat the old trick, the so-called time and place were favorable, and Huang Zhong's familiarity with the terrain in this area was far greater than that of the attacking Cao Cao. The existence of the two rivers of Baihe and Tanghe also provided the possibility of harassment by the Xiangyang* naval army. Although the large warships are close to the Wuda, the bold small ships and transports can quietly faint the soldiers nearby, and then retreat along the river when the attack is over!
