Chapter 340: Sun Quan's Troubles
"Sending troops? Hit Koto? When Liu Bei's order came to Jingzhou, Liu Yi was supervising the construction site of Jiangling, the construction of Jiangling is not as troublesome as Xiangyang, and it is close to the Yangtze River, rich in water resources, and now Jiangxia has been won, Jiangling's economic significance is greater than the military significance, in Liu Yi's prediction, although it was built later than Xiangyang, but the completion may be earlier than Xiangyang, just returned from Jiangxia, set a post road project, just arrived in Jiangling, but learned such a strong news, so that Liu Yi was somewhat stunned.
"What is the reason?" After being surprised, looking at Cui Zhouping with an indifferent face, Liu Yi reacted, it is impossible for Liu Bei to make this decision for no reason, there are many talents in Shu, it is impossible to make a faint move, and there must be a reason for it.
"Sun Quan openly sabotaged the alliance and accepted Cao Cao's canonization!" Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and said: "First of all, they attacked each other for no reason, the lord was merciful, not only did he not blame, but also released the two generals Lu Meng and Gan Ning and 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers, which was intended to continue the alliance, Sun Quan was not grateful, but colluded with Cao thief, was named King Wu, treacherous, Bo Yuan thought, are these reasons enough?" ”
"It's enough." Liu Yi nodded, Sun Quan's acceptance of the title of King Wu is equivalent to isolating Liu Bei, which is really unbearable.
"But now to attack Jiangdong, isn't it to force Jiangdong to unite with Cao Cao?" Liu Yi sat down, thought carefully about the pros and cons, frowned and shook his head: "I'm afraid that the lord will use troops this time to deter more, right?" ”
Cui Zhouping gave Liu Yi a very smart look, nodded and said: "Yes, now that Sun Quan is crowned king, it is difficult to occupy Jiangdong even if he wins this battle, not to mention that when it comes to water warfare, our army is much inferior to Jiangdong after all, and if it really starts, the outcome is unpredictable." ”
"But if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to join forces with Jiangdong......" Liu Yi frowned and groaned, then shook his head: "It seems unlikely." ”
The reason is very simple, if you really unite with Cao Cao to defeat Liu Bei, then the next thing is Jiangdong, Sun Quan should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, not to mention that even if Cao Cao forms an alliance with Sun Quan, he may not really move troops, for Cao Cao, the best result is obviously Liu Bei Sun Quan dog eats dog, both lose, and then Cao Jun comes forward to clean up the mess.
Cui Zhouping didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Liu Yi with a sip of wine.
"So there should be something else going on this time?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping's teachable expression, and suddenly spread his hands: "Heh, with you masters here, why do I need to worry about it?" ”
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Cui Zhouping These top talents, plus Liu Ba, Li Yan, Huang Quan, Dong and the talents who have been collected in Shuzhong, why do you have to worry about this kind of thing.
"What Bo Yuan said is basically true, why not continue to infer it, the truth is not far away." Cui Zhouping shook his head with a smile.
"Oh?" Liu Yi sneered: "I'm just a craftsman, this kind of thing as a national event, let's leave it to you to do, since the army of Shuzhong will go south soon, at least Jiangling Water Village must be repaired first, and this big thing must also start from a small thing." You said that this time the lord personally led the army to come, will Kong Ming accompany the army? ”
"No, Kong Ming is better at internal affairs, like Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty, so when the lord sends troops, he will definitely ask Kong Ming to stay in the rear, if you want to see Shiyuan, it is possible." Cui Zhouping shook his head and said.
"Then you have to dodge!" Liu Yi smiled: "I won't tell you, I'll go and see the progress." ”
Jiangling Water Village has been half built, and with the current progress, it is no problem for the water village to be built before Liu Bei's army arrives.
There is still a period of time, Liu Yi is ready to rush the project from Dangyang to Jiangling.
Liu Yi stepped up the construction here, and the troop movements in Jingzhou were indeed becoming more and more frequent, first under Jun, and 8,000 elite soldiers were ready to attack Panyang by land at any time.
Wen hired Sanzhai sailors exchange rate in Xiakou, all day drills, the sound of fighting soared into the sky, although Guan Yu wanted to guard against Cao's army, but also sent Zhou Cang to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to arrive in Jiangling to meet Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei's main army has not yet arrived, but the Yangtze River is already full of rumors.
Koto, Chaisang.
"What does Liu Bei mean by this, you want to fight?" Cheng Pu came back angrily and scolded: "The sailors of Jiangxia Water Village said that they were training, but here their boats are about to sail to our Water Village, what does Wen Ping mean?" ”
"That's not all!" Huang Gai sighed: "Zhao Yuntun is in Xiajun, and their scouts have become more and more arrogant recently!" King Wu, I can't bear it any longer! ”
The generals were also mostly indignant, although they did not make a move, but this was clearly ill-intentioned and deliberately provocative.
Sun Quan didn't speak, and when he saw Huang Gai asking himself, he shook his head and smiled: "General Gongfu is a little restless, I believe that Lonely, there are worse things to happen, can you be trusted?" ”
"This ......" Huang Gai frowned when he heard this: "What does this Jingzhou army want to do?" ”
Sun Quan didn't answer, silently closed his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing this, the generals only felt a depressing aura spreading in the hall, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.
Finally, just when everyone began to be anxious, Kan Ze walked in quickly and bowed to Sun Quan: "Lord, there is accurate information in Shu, Liu Bei personally led the troops, with Zhang Ren and Huang Zhong as generals, led an army of 100,000 down the river, and will arrive in Jiangling in the near future."
An army of 100,000!?
The generals in the hall couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, 100,000 is not a small number, Jiangdong has lost a lot of soldiers and horses since the defeat of Jingzhou last time, and in the past two years, the mountains have been very happy, Jiangdong also had to send troops to suppress it, and now it can be mobilized, only 20,000 or 30,000 horses.
If Liu Bei really waved 100,000 troops to come, plus the Jingzhou Naval Army, Zhao Yun's 8,000 elite soldiers in Xiajun, the strength alone would be enough to crush the Jiangdong Army.
Huang Gai looked at Kan Ze: "Do you know the reason?" ”
Kan Ze nodded: "It's just because King Wu accepted the matter of the imperial court being crowned king, saying that the lord broke the covenant and committed unrighteous acts, which is a crusade!" ”
"Bastard, this King Wu is sealed by the imperial court, what does it matter to him? How is it an act of injustice? He Liu Bei appointed himself as a clan relative of the Han family, but now it is good, but he actually said that it is unrighteous to be rewarded by the Son of Heaven? When the generals heard this, they were excited.
Lu Meng was even more direct, took a step forward and bowed and said, "King Wu, the last general is willing to lead the troops into battle!" ”
The defeat of Jingzhou is definitely a shame for Lu Meng, and now that Liu Bei dares to come, Lu Meng naturally wants to make meritorious service and re-establish his prestige!
"The last general is also willing to go, so that Liu Bei knows that this water battle is not more than people." Cheng Pu snorted angrily and stepped forward.
Sun Quan frowned slightly when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he saw a guard walking in quickly regardless of the obstruction of other guards, bowed to Sun Quan and said, "Your Majesty! ”
"Presumptuous!" Ling Tong frowned and shouted, "Where is this, Ru'an dares to trespass?" Not afraid of death? ”
"Humble and willing to die in exchange for a word to the king!" The guard said proudly.
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military forces present were a little moved, and they exchanged death for the opportunity to speak, which made everyone very curious about what made him willing to die to admonish each other?
