Zhuge Liang has been in the habit of taking a nap for many years. This was the case when I was in Caolu, and now I have come to Luoyang, and even more so.

"Who wakes up first from the big dream? I know it all my life! Lang Lang's voice sounded from the room, and the people knew that it was Zhuge Liang who had woken up.

The servant next to him immediately served the wet wipes and tea, Zhuge Liang cleared his face slightly, took a sip of tea, and then asked: "When I sleep, can someone look for me?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, there are two people who claim to be the prime minister's nephews, Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Rong, who came to visit the prime minister, and the old slave has led them to the hall to rest."

"Yuan Xun is here? Soochow has changed! Why didn't you wake me up sooner! Zhuge Liang didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran out.

"There have been changes in Soochow, and there have been great changes in Soochow." Zhuge Liang flew quickly, and kept chattering: "There is a change in Eastern Wu, I am determined to do a big thing, and the destruction of Wu is in the present dynasty." ”

……

In the hall, Zhuge Ke drank tea and tasted dim sum, which was also comfortable.

Zhuge Ke came with his family to vote, and his family was still placed in the post house. However, Huang Yueying had already sent someone to pick him up, and next to him, the young Zhuge Zhan was sitting upright, looking like an adult, but the curiosity between his eyebrows and the eyes that kept peeking at Zhuge Ke betrayed him.

At this time, Zhuge Liang hurriedly rushed in from outside.

Brother Zhuge Ke immediately tidied up his clothes, stood up and bowed respectfully, and at the same time said, "I've seen my uncle." ”

"Yuan Xun, it's really you!" Zhuge Liang's face was happy, and then he pulled Brother Zhuge Ke to sit down.

"Yuan Xun, but there has been a change in Eastern Wu, is it that Lord Wu has died?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Uncle really expected things like a god, Lord Wu died." Zhuge Ke replied.

"Then who is Shouchun in the hands now, is it 6 Xun or Sima Yi?" Zhuge Liang then asked.

If the previous sentence "Lord Wu died" was still within Zhuge Ke's expectations, this second sentence surprised Zhuge Ke. Before he said anything, Zhuge Liang guessed so many things, and it was rumored that his uncle was like a god, and it was true.

"Uncle, 6 Xun designed yin* Sima Yi failed, but Sima Yi used the plan of Ming Xiu plank road to secretly Chen Cang, and took away Shouchun. Gu Yong was killed by Sima Yi, and 6 Xun retreated to Lujiang for temporary refuge. ”

"6 Bo Yan is resting......," Zhuge Liang sighed, and then continued: "6 Xun is a talented person, but his courage is insufficient, if 6 Xun immediately retreats to Jiangdong, contact the Jiangdong family to raise a counterattack on Shouchun." It's the best way to go; went to Jingzhou to meet Sun Shao, sent troops to King Qin, but he also saved his life and formed a strong momentum with Sima Yi; Only this trapped city can't be done, Sima Yi only needs to write an edict in the name of Lord Wu, 6 Xun has become a rebellious minister and thief, no one dares to take him in anymore, I'm afraid he won't live long. ”

Zhuge Liang said, looked at Zhuge Ke, and then continued: "Brother once said that Yuanxun you will become a great weapon, and if my Han wants to exterminate Eastern Wu, what he needs most is a commander of the navy." Yuan Xun, I will take you to see Your Majesty and recommend you as the Governor of the Navy, with your talents, Your Majesty will definitely entrust you with important tasks! ”

……

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Early Dynasty.

The atmosphere of the early dynasty today is a little different, some military generals who will not come to the court on weekdays have attended the early dynasty, and the court hall seems to be overcrowded for a while. Someone with a little political consciousness. Seeing so many generals coming, they all knew that His Majesty was going to raise a military matter.

Presumably, these generals are full of excitement on their faces, there has been no war for many years, these generals have long been idle and panicked, and every time they go to court, they stop there, listening to those civil servants nagging about drought here and waterlogging there, and they are drowsy when they hear it.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" As the eunuch's spy voice sounded, Adou walked in.

After kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Adou immediately cut to the chase: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the news that there is a change in Eastern Wu, the lord of Wu Sun Deng is dead, Sima Yi mutinied, and now there is civil strife in Eastern Wu. ”

"Your Majesty is going to kill Wu, and the minister is willing to be a pawn!" Zhang Bao walked out with an arrow step.

"Okay, Aiqing, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet." Adou waved his hand, motioning for Zhang Bao to go down first, and then continued: "Xuan Zhuge Ke." ”

Zhuge Ke strode in, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the ministers immediately secretly discussed.

Adou pointed at Zhuge Ke, and then said: "Yuan Xun knows that Dongwu is real and false, with Yuan Xun here, my army can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

……

The civil strife did have a great impact on Soochow.

In order to stabilize the situation in Shouchun, Sima Yi had to transfer troops from Qingzhou back to Shouchun. Now Qingxu Erzhou is empty.

There are gains and losses, originally the troops around Shouchun were all under the control of 6 Xun, and later they were all taken away by 6 Xun, in order to stabilize Shouchun, Sima Yi had to transfer troops from Qingzhou. Although Sima Yi has now mastered the power of Eastern Wu, it is equivalent to giving up Qingxu Erzhou.

However, Sima Yi felt that this deal was not a loss, Lord Wu was still in infancy, and the actual controller of Eastern Wu became Sima Yi, and Sima Yi suddenly became a figure like Dong Zhuo.

Sun Shao, the governor of the Jingzhou Army, was the Eastern Wu clan, and Sima Yi had no choice but to continue to entrust him with important responsibilities and give him the official title, and in Jiangdong, Sima Yi ordered his second son Sima Zhao to lead the troops to Jianye and collect the Jiangdong family.

Sima Yi knew that the Han army would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and for Sima Yi, what was needed most now was time, and the ministers in the court seemed to be respectful to Sima Yi, but whether they were convinced or not, it was difficult to say, the Jiangdong family had a deep prejudice against Sima Yi, and Sun Shao of Jingzhou would not obey Sima Yi's orders. These are the problems faced by Sima Yi. A huge country suddenly pressed on Sima Yi, internal and external troubles, and what Sima Yi needed most was time.

Sima Yi believed that as long as he gave himself a year, he could stabilize the situation, but it was obvious that Adou could not give Sima Yi a year.

On the second day of Zhuge Ke's arrival in Luoyang, Adou held a court meeting and announced the southern expedition to Eastern Wu, and then Hebei Jiang Wei attacked Qingzhou, Yanzhou Wang Ping attacked Xuzhou, Yingchuan Xiahou Ba went out of Nanyang, Shangyong Li Yan attacked Xiangyang, and Guan Ping led the army out of Shu. Straight to Gangneung. The strength that the Han army has precipitated over the past few years exploded at this moment.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, no force in the Central Plains has been able to rise up such a large-scale war, and the five roads have raised troops to attack Wu, among which Jiang Wei and Guan Ping are the main forces of the Han army. Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry followed Jiang Wei's army, and the Wudang Fei army, wearing rattan armor, went out of Bashu with Guan Ping to attack Jiangling.

At the same time, Adou issued an edict to the Di people of Yongzhou and Meng Shu of the Nanban, ordering the Di people to gather 100,000 troops and the Nanban to help 30,000 soldiers.

The Han Dynasty mobilized the whole country and went all out to prepare for a war to determine Soochow.

……

Qingzhou's main forces of Eastern Wu have been transferred to Shouchun, and Jiang Wei's main forces of Jizhou are very numerous, and it is difficult for Qingzhou to organize resistance, and the Eastern Wu army is defeated and retreated.

As for Xuzhou, it has always been easy to attack and difficult to defend, and over the years, whether it is Liu Bei, Lu Bu, or Cao Cao, as long as it is an attack on Xuzhou, there is nothing that cannot be defeated. Wang Ping is also a general who has led the army for many years, and it didn't take much effort to attack Xuzhou.

Yingchuan was led by the Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei brothers. After Cao Rong surrendered, the status of the Xiahou family did not change, before the Xiahou family was the clan of the Wei State, and now the Xiahou family is still the imperial relatives of the Han Dynasty. Those of the Xiahou family who have a little ability have been awarded official positions, among which the Xiahou Ba Xiahou Wei brothers have the highest official positions.

Counting it up, Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei are both Adou's uncles, and the two of them can be regarded as having won the true inheritance of Xiahou Yuan, and their level and experience in leading troops are not weaker than any general in the Han Dynasty. When Cao Cao took Nanyang, Xiahou Yuan made a lot of contributions, and now the two brothers have stepped in the footsteps of their father, from Yingchuan, to capture Nanyang.

Among the several large armies, Li Yan led the least number of soldiers. However, Li Yan is the most senior of all the generals, and he is also the most reassuring one of Adou. Back then, Adou was rescued by Shangyong, and Adou knew that if Shangyong attacked Xiangyang, he could attack and retreat. Especially after the Wu army in Nanyang and the Wu army in Jiangling were contained, Li Yan's army no longer had to worry about the rescue of the Wu army, and could attack Xiangyang with all his strength.

The toughest of all the troops was Guan Ping. Guan Ping attacked Jiangling from Yizhou, and the route he took was the one in the history of Liu Bei's battle against Wu. There are many mountain roads along the line, the traffic is inconvenient, and there is a lack of suitable places to set up camp. The water surface of the Yangtze River was blocked by the Dongwu naval division, and if the Dongwu adopted the general strategy of the Battle of Yiling, the wall was cleared and the city was firmly defended, and the burden on the Han army's logistical supply lines would be very large.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and Guan Ping's road is the most dangerous road, so Zhuge Ke is also in Guan Ping's army. Zhuge Liang has the intention to promote Zhuge Ke as the governor of the Han Dynasty, and he can also take on this important task with Zhuge Ke's talent, but Zhuge Ke has not made an inch, and he was immediately appointed as the governor of the navy. Zhuge Liang loves fame all his life, how can he give people the opportunity to gossip, so Zhuge Liang simply asked Zhuge Ke to go out with Guan Ping to attack the most difficult point. If he can win, Zhuge Ke will be the governor of the navy in the future, and no one will gossip.

Zhuge Ke did not embarrass Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Ke also knew that this battle was related to his future career and the face of his uncle Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Ke tried his best to plan for Guan Ping and plot Jiangling.

Guan Ping is also holding back a force, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, now more than ten years have passed, Jingzhou has always been a piece of Guan Yu's heart disease, now Guan Ping is on behalf of his father, vowing to capture Jiangling, recapture Jingzhou, revenge for the year.

……

After some analysis, Zhuge Ke found that the current Han army did not have an advantage.

Yiling hundreds of miles long hills, the army supply is very difficult, the waterway is completely controlled by the Jiangdong naval division, it is impossible to transport grain and grass by the Yangtze River, if the Wu army is stubborn, the Han army's logistics supply line pressure is very large, even with the wealth of Yizhou, it is impossible to carry out a long-term tug-of-war under this kind of consumption.

But the biggest hole card of the Han army is the group of Wudang Feijun wearing rattan armor.

Before, the Wudang Fei Army was at war with the Wei army, and there had never been a battle with the He Dongwu army, Zhuge Ke had lived in Dongwu for a long time, although he had heard of the Wudang Fei Army, but he didn't know much about it.

Now, when Zhuge Ke saw the Wudang Flying Army with his own eyes, he finally realized the significance of this group of Wudang Flying Army, especially in this mountainous and hilly area, the Wudang Flying Army can wield 120% of its ability. And Zhuge Ke believes that the Jiangdong generals must be the same as their previous self, and they don't know much about the Wudang Flying Army.

Finally, Zhuge Ke came up with a plan.

Since they walked out of Zigui, the Han army only traveled 30 miles a day, and only walked half a day a day, and camped for rest for the other half a day.

According to the degree of thirty miles a day, Zigui returned to Yiling, I am afraid that it will take a month, so after the Yiling guard learned about the turtle-like degree of the Han army, he thought that there was still enough time, so he had the heart of despising the enemy, and the construction of fortifications was also very slow.

On the other side, the Wudang Flying Army crossed the mountains and mountains, day and night, specially selected some uninhabited mountain roads that were difficult to march, and rushed to attack Yiling.

Ten days later, Guan Ping's army had walked less than half of the distance, and the Wudang Fei army on the other side, who had been traveling day and night, had already killed under Yiling City. In the face of the sudden Wudang Flying Army, the Yiling guards did not have any preparation at all, and in the cognition of the Wu army, the Han army was still more than 500 miles away from Yiling, so there was no need to worry.

Yiling was broken, Gangneung City lost its barrier, and the Guanping army drove straight into Jiangling and attacked Gangneung.

……

In Xiangyang, Li Yan is well aware of the importance of his army.

After breaking through Xiangyang, Jingzhou was cut into two sections, Jiangling in the south and Nanyang in the north, which will not be able to take care of the tail. The strategic significance of this is very significant, and it is precisely because of this strategic significance that it is related to the results of the entire Jingzhou that Adou will let Li Yan attack Xiangyang.

Li Yan knew that the sooner he captured Xiangyang, the greater the help to the overall situation, so Li Yan did not use any more strategies to storm Xiangyang, and strive to capture Xiangyang as soon as possible.

According to the normal situation, the Han army attacked Jingzhou, and Dongwu would definitely send troops to support, but now that Dongwu is in civil strife, whether it is Jiangdong or Shouchun, there are no extra troops to send, in order to seize power, Sima Yi even gave up Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and transferred his men and horses back to Shouchun.

In the face of the Han army's large-scale attack, Sun Shao had no other way but to defend to the death, and the side effects of the civil strife in Eastern Wu were finally reflected.

If it was before, the Han army attacked like this, with Sima Yi on the eastern front, 6 Xun going to Jingzhou, Gu Yong sitting in the middle of the court, deploying logistics, and more than enough for the defense of Eastern Wu. But now that Gu Yong is dead, 6 Xun is also in danger, a single Sima Yi needs to be in charge of Shouchun, there are no enough generals on the two lines of Eastern Wu to defend, and the reinforcements are delayed, and the defeat of the Wu army is only a matter of time.

Two months later, Xiahou Ba captured Wancheng, and the banner of the Han Dynasty appeared at the head of Wancheng, announcing the destruction of Nanyang.

On the tenth day after the Nanyang was broken, Jiangling City was also in danger, Guan Ping was the commander-in-chief, the first soldier, personally put on armor and went into battle, climbed the city tower, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted that day, each fought bravely, and the attack did not stop for two days and one night, and Jiangling was broken
