Chapter 797: Jiangdong Rises to Jingzhou (I)
After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Sun Ce was very displeased and said coldly.
"But what is the ability of the mountain villager!? My brother Gongjin has a lot of strategies, and he will come with his hands, and if he has a strategy, he will be able to plan the overall situation and win a victory thousands of miles away. Everyone in the world knows the wisdom of Gongjin and praises it as the first in the world! I have Gongjin in Jiangdong, so why should I be afraid of that Zhuge Kongming! β
Sun Ce drank back Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin wanted to speak and stopped, but saw Sun Ce's eyes were cold, so he didn't dare to say anything more and returned to the table to sit down. Zhou Yu saluted Zhuge Jin and said softly.
"Ziyu has always been a boastful person. Presumably, his brother Zhuge Kongming must have something extraordinary, if there is a chance, Yu will humbly ask for advice with him! β
At this time, Zhou Yu showed his calmness and broadness, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly replied.
"The Metropolitan Governor is a masterpiece in the world, and Kong Mingyan has the ability to teach the Metropolitan Governor. If Jin had made a gaffe before, he hoped that the governor would not be strange. β
Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, and then turned to Sun Ce to admonish.
"If the lord wants to send troops to Jingzhou, he must not be in a hurry. According to Yu's expectations, Cai Deqi will be defeated at the hands of Liu Xuande, and when he is cornered, he will send a letter asking for help in Jiangdong. At present, Cai Deqi is supporting Liu Cong, the second son of Jingzhou, to be the master, and Liu Xuande wants to assist Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, to ascend the throne of Jingzhou. At that time, the lord Mingli could march into Jingzhou under the banner of assisting Liu Cong, and he was famous and righteous. The lord puts righteousness first, and secretly takes the land of Jingzhou, which is the best policy! β
When Zhang Zhao heard this, he retorted.
"If the war in Jingzhou is certain and Cao Cao waves his troops to kill, then what?"
Zhou Yu had already thought about it, so he replied.
"In the battle of Jingzhou, we first used Cai's soldiers and horses as the lead to resist Liu Bei. As for our Jiangdong soldiers and horses, we secretly took the four counties of Nanjun, Guiyang, Changsha and Jiangxia, and these four counties are accompanied by Jiangdong and Jiaozhou. As for the rest of the counties in Jingzhou, they all relied on the Central Plains and Yizhou to do wrong, and Liu Xuande seized it first. If Cao Cao pacifies the northwest and wants to march south, he must first attack Liu Bei. When the time comes, when Cao and Liu start a war, our army can sneak attack from the rear and divide the land of Jingzhou. Liu Bei suffered from the enemy on his back, even if he was assisted by Zhuge Liang, he was unable to return to the sky, how could he be undefeated? When Cao Cao exterminated Liu Bei, the front was blunt, and the soldiers were tired and the grain and grass were exhausted, and they would never dare to easily start a war with our Jiangdong in the past four or five years. According to this, half of the land of Jingzhou obtained by my lord has greatly increased its power, and when Cao Cao is recuperating, he will vigorously recruit troops and buy horses, train soldiers, recuperate, and wait for the battle with Cao Cao, and win the world in a battle! β
Zhou Yu's words were amazing, and when the words fell, the hall exclaimed. Zhang Zhao's eyes also flashed with astonishment, and he secretly paid Zhou Gongjin's strategy, which was unpredictable.
"It turns out that the Metropolitan Governor has already thought it through, if according to the Metropolitan Governor's plan, my lord's imperial hegemony can be accomplished!"
Zhang Zhao bowed respectfully, and then returned to the table without worry. Sun Ce's eyes were full of joy and laughed.
"Hahahaha!! My brother Gongjin is worthy of being the first wise man in the world, and with your assistance, why don't you worry that my Sun clan will not be able to dominate the world!! β
Zhou Yu's plan was settled, Sun Ce acted according to the plan, first waited patiently, and at the same time gathered 60,000 elite soldiers in Yuzhang, Zhou Tai, Huang Zu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, LΓΌ Meng, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and other generals were deployed to Yuzhang to prepare for battle. Lu Su and Lu Ji were then ordered to be responsible for the preparation and transportation of grain, grass, baggage, armaments and other materials.
About half a month later, everything was as Zhou Yu expected, Liu Bei defeated Cai Mao, Cai Mao in half a month, not only suffered heavy losses in soldiers and horses, but also lost Xiangyang, Wuling, Jiangxia and other counties. And the person Sun Ce had been waiting for finally came to Jiangdong Wuhui.
However, it was said that Deng Yi followed Cai Mao's order and went to Jiangdong with a book. Sun Ce learned that Deng Yi was coming, and according to Zhou Yu's words, he made some arrangements first.
Deng Yi rode a horse to lead the servants to cross the river and just entered the Jiangdong ferry, and suddenly saw a team of military horses, about 500 horsemen, looking at its soldiers and armor to serve, it was the soldiers of Jiangdong, the first general, light makeup and soft dress, and asked before reining in the horse.
"Is it General Deng, a general under the command of Cai Gong of Jingzhou?"
Deng Yi was very surprised, he had not yet informed Sun Ce on his trip to Jiangdong, why there was a Jiangdong army and horses waiting for a long time. Deng Yi's face froze, and he replied.
"Yes! Don't know the name of the general? β
Hearing this, the general hurriedly dismounted, and whispered.
"I am Ding Fengye, the general of the Sun clan, and the governor of my family has long known that there will be nobles coming. The special commander is waiting here. β
Deng Yi's heart was agitated when he heard this, and he secretly sighed that Zhou Gongjin did not expect the prophet, if he was a god, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly dismounted and replied.
"I heard that Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong, is the first wise man in the world, and today Zhou Gong has already expected Deng to go, so he will make arrangements first, and he is really a god."
Ding Feng bowed his head slightly and said.
"General Deng traveled far away, the saddle horse galloped, and the governor of the capital specially ordered Ding to serve wine and food."
After that, the sergeant knelt down to serve wine and food, and Ding Feng entered it. Deng Yi was overjoyed, so he drank a few cups with Ding Feng and got on the horse to walk together. When I came to the realm of Wuhui, it was every day and night, and I went to the pavilion and saw more than 100 people standing outside the post gate, beating drums and connecting with each other. One will salute in front of the horse.
"On the order of the Metropolitan Governor, for General Deng, he traveled far away from the wind and dust, and ordered Pan to sweep the post court to wait for the night."
The general who spoke was none other than Pan Zhang, the subordinate general under Sun Ce. Deng Yi hurriedly dismounted, returned the salute, and entered the hall with Ding Feng and Pan Zhang. Lecture and sit. After a while, a wine feast was arranged, and the two persuaded each other diligently. After drinking until he was even worse, he stopped the banquet and stayed overnight. Before Deng Yi went to bed, he secretly thought that Sun Ce's courtesy was for the sake of the Ming Lord, and now Cai Mao was defeated by Liu Bei in a row, and the army was defeated and will die, and the general trend has gone. It's better to secretly surrender to Sun Ce.
Deng Yi thought about it and went to sleep. After breakfast the next day, less than three or five miles after getting on the horse, I saw a group of people and horses arrive. It was Sun Ce who led Zhou Yu and came to pick him up in person. Seeing Deng Yi coming, he dismounted and waited earlier. Deng Yi also hurriedly dismounted to see him, his eyes secretly a large number of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, seeing that Sun Ce was burly, domineering all over, powerful and powerful, as if he could tear the sky with both hands, and he was really the reincarnation of the overlord. Look at Zhou Yu again, extremely handsome, so beautiful that even if she is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, she is also eclipsed, her eyes are focused, as if she has infinite wisdom, and the faint smile gives people an inexplicable surprise, as if everything in the world is in her expectations.
Deng Yi saw that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were so good, and his like-mindedness was even more certain.
"General Deng traveled a long way to Jiangdong, if Sun has insufficient hospitality, I hope General Deng will forgive me."
Sun Ce smiled brightly, his voice was loud, Deng Yi was in front of him, he didn't feel a little ashamed, and he bowed at the moment, saying respect. Sun Ce was overjoyed, so he invited Deng Yi to enter the city, and Deng Yi got on the horse and entered the city with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. To the palace to each of the ceremonies, the guests and hosts sit in turn, and set up a banquet to entertain. During the drinking room, Sun Ce only gossiped and did not mention the matter of Jingzhou. Deng Yi had something in his heart, and he was secretly anxious, so he used words to provoke.
"Today, the Marquis of Wu is stationed in Jiangdong, Yang, and Jiaozhou, and the land is vast and powerful, and it is powerful in the south. However, in recent years, I heard that Wu Hou suddenly stopped his army to recuperate, and only trained soldiers and horses, but there was no movement. Nowadays, it is a troubled time, the court is mediocre, the Son of Heaven is controlled by traitors, the society is collapsing, and the country will not be a country. The eldest husband should take advantage of the situation and make immortal achievements. It is known that Wu Hou is a hero in the world, known as the little overlord. Why didn't Marquis Wu follow the example of the overlord of Western Chu and gather elite soldiers to pacify the world!? β
In recent years, Cao Cao tried to appease the Sun clan in Jiangdong. Feng Sun Ce was the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the title of Marquis of Wu. Sun Ce heard this, and the tiger's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, and all along, in Sun Ce's heart, compared with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce appreciated the title of the overlord of Western Chu more. After all, Xiang Ji is a person from Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's temperament is very similar to Xiang Ji. Deng Yi saw that Sun Ce's eyes were full of desire, and he was happy in his heart, but Zhou Yu, who was next to him at this time, said with a smile.
"My lord is a martial artist who can determine the country, threaten Jiangdong, reward and punish in a way, and the generals are sincere and obedient, and they are more sympathetic to their subordinates and love the people. According to Yu's view, in the future, he will be able to surpass the item. Right now, I'm recuperating in Jiangdong, and my lord has a deep meaning. What's more, this is my Jiangdong business, so I don't have to worry about General Deng. β
When Deng Yi heard this, his face froze, and he said.
Zhou Gong's words are wrong. The world is in turmoil, and the people hope that the chaos will end as soon as possible and welcome the peaceful and prosperous times. If Wu Hou has the heart to stabilize the world, why not plan as soon as possible to save the people of the world from the water and fire! β
Zhou Yu saw the change in Deng Yi's expression in his eyes, secretly happy in his heart, and said with a slight smile.
"Huh. It seems that General Deng has a lot of respect for Wu Hou. It's a pity that General Deng was under the command of others and failed to serve Wu Hou. If Wu Hou can get a righteous man like General Deng who cares about the people of the world, why worry about the great thing? β
Deng Yihao bit his teeth, knelt on the ground at the moment, took out Cai Mao's letter from his sleeve, and told Cai Mao that he wanted to dedicate Jingzhou. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not have any surprise. Sun Ce took the letter and looked at it, and handed it to Zhou Yu after reading it. Zhou Yu finished watching and said with a smile.
"Cai Deqi wants to dedicate Jingzhou to my Jiangdong. I'm afraid that it is inconsistent on the outside, and even if Jingzhou is in chaos, Cai Deqi will cross the river and tear down the bridge! β
When Deng Yi heard this, a huge wave rose in his heart, Cai Mao did have this intention, but it seemed that he couldn't hide it from Zhou Yu. Deng Yi secretly paid in his heart, now that Cai Mao is poor, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu all appreciate him, and if they are under his command, they will be reused. What's more, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's monarchs and ministers complement each other, and it is very likely to win the world!
After Deng Yi finished thinking about it, he said.
"Jingzhou is a place where soldiers must fight, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the people are rich in the country, intelligent people, and the prestige of Wu Hou has long been admired. If Marquis Wu is willing to raise the people of Jiangdong, drive the north to the north, and take Jingzhou, the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can be prosperous. At such a great time, why should Wu Hou worry too much, he should act quickly! Wu Hou is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't meet him early! Even if Cai Deqi really has evil intentions, Deng will definitely kill his relatives in righteousness!! β
Zhou Yuhao's eyes froze, and he shouted coldly.
"It is unfaithful to eat its land and turn its back on its master, and it is unrighteous to dwell in its land and sacrifice its land. General Deng is such a traitor to seek glory, if my lord accepts it, he will leave a curse! β
After Zhou Yu finished drinking, he was about to drink left and right, and drove Deng Yi out. Deng Yi shouted angrily and shouted.
"Deng Mou is not a traitor seeking glory! When I meet Ming Gong today, I don't dare not to drain my liver and gallbladder! Cai Deqi is good at changing the last life of the ancestors, he is cruel and unkind, and he can't use his talents, and Liu Bei is strong, and he is popular in Jingzhou. At present, the hearts of Cai Deqi's subordinates are scattered, and sooner or later they will die. If Marquis Wu can obtain Jingzhou, go north to the Central Plains, Kuangzheng Heavenly Dynasty, and go down in history, the merit is great. Ming Gongguo has the intention of taking Jingzhou, and Deng is willing to work for dogs and horses, that is, he thinks it should be in the army. If Cai Deqi has a different heart, I will take his head and dedicate it to Wu Hou. I don't know what Wu Hou wants? β
Deng Yi made another promise, and Zhou Yu went away when he heard Bi Hanche's expression, and secretly looked at Sun Ce. Sun Ce then laughed heartily and said with a drink.
"Hahahaha!! Good! Good!! Good!!! β
Immediately, Sun Ce took in Deng Yi and let him monitor his every move before Cai Mao. At the same time, Zhou Yu delivered this to Deng Yi. Deng Yi was bent on joining Sun Ce, and he kept it in mind at the moment.
The next day, Sun Ce wrote a letter and handed it to Deng Yi. Deng Yi took the book and said goodbye, eager to return from Jingzhou Nanjun.
At the same time in Hanshou City. Liu Qi returned, and the generals and ministers under Liu Bei were complemented by the civil and military forces of the original class of Jingzhou. In order to appease Liu Bei, Liu Qi gave most of the important positions to the people under Liu Bei's command. When he felt Liu Bei's kindness, he obeyed Liu Biao's last order and asked Liu Bei to take care of political affairs with him. Liu Qi can be said to be obedient to Liu Bei and extremely dependent, plus the Kuai brothers and Yi are all interested in Liu Bei, and they intend to maintain this strange situation.
Liu Qi didn't feel that it was inappropriate, and treated Liu Bei like a father and loved him. Liu Bei also treats Liu Qi like a son under his knees, and the uncle and nephew get along well without any gaps.
Xiangyang, Wuling, and Jiangxia are all stable. One day, Zhuge Liang suddenly said to Liu Bei.
"Cai Deqi was defeated and retreated to Nanjun, and gathered all his henchmen and soldiers in one place, to stabilize Jingzhou, the Cai family must not tolerate it, and it must be eliminated in a hurry."
Liu Bei bowed slightly, that is, he said to Zhuge Liang.
"What the military advisor said is very true, according to the opinion of the military advisor, what should I do?"
"At the moment, the lord deployed Wuling and Xiangyang soldiers and horses, marched together, captured Nanjun, and exterminated the Cai clan with lightning speed. At the same time, Jiang Xia Huang Hansheng will be more prepared and strictly guard the city! β
Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned and asked urgently.
"Why is the military advisor so arranged?"
Zhuge Liang's moon-like eyes narrowed slightly, bursting out with two rays of brilliance that made heaven and earth also dim, and said in a condensed voice.
"Cai Dejun's general trend has gone, no matter how he walks, he will definitely fight. According to Liang's expectations, most of his envoys will be sent to Jiangdong to ask for help, and lead the Jiangdong army into Jingzhou to block our army's offensive! β
