Chapter 34: Can anyone tell me why?
"What!" Even though I've been telling myself for the past few days that as the lord of a city, I should not be surprised, I must be calm, and I must have the style of a general, but when I heard the bad news that Tanma had returned, I couldn't help but stand up from my seat at once!
I walked up to the returning soldier in three steps and two steps, grabbed him by the collar at once, and said angrily, "Say it again! ”
The soldier had run back after a long journey, and although the post station on the road could change horses for him, he was already mentally and physically exhausted. When he saw that I was angry, his voice lowered halfway, and when he trembled again, I slowly let go of his collar, and he collapsed to the ground.
"This can't be, this can't be, this can't be!" I repeated these four words as I walked back to my seat, and when I returned to my seat, I felt completely paralyzed, and I had no idea for a while.
However, although Ma Liang was also shocked, but obviously the speed of recovery was much faster than mine, he ordered someone to help the horse down to rest, while waving his hand to everyone and said: "Everyone must have heard what happened just now, although it happened suddenly, but I believe that the lord will immediately find a way to recapture Luo County after hearing the news, you will go down and prepare, even if the Wu army does its best to attack, we will be able to hold on for ten days!" ”
"Yes!" At this point, the voices of the people were much higher-pitched. I know that although they deserve to be loud, they are only emboldening themselves, and their hearts will definitely be as empty as I am now.
They each bowed their hands to Maleonn, and no one paid any more attention, obviously disappointed by my panicked appearance, and the little prestige I had just accumulated in front of them was swept away by my performance.
It's Ma Liang's performance that can be called the performance of the person in charge of the city, but I can't care about it so much. The reason why the news of the Wu army's occupation of Luoxian Port made me so out of shape was that the north of Changsha County would also face a large number of Wu army attacks, but what shocked me the most was actually about the fact that the military horses that Chen arrived when the Wu army attacked Luoxian Port had not yet entered Luoxian Port to set up defenses.
When I was in Nanjun, I heard Kong Ming's order to Chen Zhi on the spot to rush to Luo County within three days, but it has been more than ten days since I arrived in Changsha, but what Tanma reported to me was that when the Wu army attacked Luoxian Port, there were still only a few hundred defenders in the port!
I don't know why, the possibility of Chen Zhi daring to violate Kong Ming's military orders is almost zero, but the ironclad fact is now in front of my eyes - that is, Chen Zhi did not go to Luoxian Port at all!
So where did he go? He received the military order in front of everyone, and even if he insisted on changing his mind, he still had Chen Zhen and Mi Fang by his side!
I couldn't figure it out, Ma Liang thought I was still immersed in the bad news just now, walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Sir, you don't have to worry about it, rest early, if the Wu army comes tomorrow, we will stick to the city!" ”
What I saw from Ma Liang's face was the concern of a senior for a junior, so I nodded to him gratefully. But I didn't leave my chair until he left, and my mind was still thinking about where the army was going.
Although I am here in modern times, many things written in books can be "unpredictable prophets", but this paragraph is not written in the romance, and even if it is written in the romance, it may not be a real historical fact.
Later, I got tired of it, so I had to go back to the house to rest. Maybe it's because of something on my mind, but when I woke up, the sky outside hadn't turned white. There was no clock in the Three Kingdoms period, so you can only estimate the approximate time by changing the point. The night breeze was cool, and I walked back and forth in the courtyard wearing a cloak.
All of a sudden, I suddenly had a spirit, and this spirit made me realize a problem. That is where Chen's army is now is not the most important thing I need to think about now, I have assumed that there may be tens of thousands of Wu soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests east of Changsha, and I have always regarded it as the most important threat to Changsha. It may be that the news of the occupation of Luoxian Port by the Wu army was too shocking to me, and I was too entangled in the fact that the development of things was different from what Kong Ming said, and I was too entangled in the question of where Chen Zhi's army went. And I just ignored a more serious thing, that is, now that the Wu army has occupied Luoxian Port, what should I do if Zhou Zhou Yu will no longer continue to go to Mounan County after the army enters Luoxian County one after another, but only leave tens of thousands of garrison troops, and the army will come south to attack Changsha?
The Wu army had large warships, and there was no difficulty in loading the large siege equipment after the split, and although the city of Changsha was strong, it could be said that it was difficult to last under the siege of 50,000 troops with large siege equipment.
The distance from Luoxian Port to Changsha City is flat and there is an official road that has been repaired, and the sentry scouts do not stop changing horses, and the people can arrive within two days without stopping, but if the army marches, it will take more than ten days according to the normal speed, and during this time, if you send a messenger for help to Guiyang closest to Changsha to ask for help, if you are lucky, the reinforcements can even arrive before the Wu soldiers.
What is hateful is that Kong Ming has already transferred all the elites of Guiyang in advance, and the remaining old and weak soldiers may not be able to help much even if they come. If Zhou Yu is smart enough, he can block Luoxian Port on the one hand, and on the other hand, step up the onslaught on Changsha before Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive from Wuling to Lingling and then come to the rescue, I estimate that by then, not to mention Changsha, Guiyang County can also be annexed by Eastern Wu before Liu Bei's reinforcements arrive in Lingling!
However, in history, Wu did not annex these two counties at this time, and these two counties were officially owned by Eastern Wu through negotiations with Jiangxia County after Liu Bei took Xichuan.
I firmly believe that although what the book says will deviate from the real history, the general direction will not be wrong. Thinking of this, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Zhou Yu would definitely think that his "borrowing the way" conspiracy would succeed, and once he succeeded, all the territory that Jingzhou was now occupied by Liu Bei would be obtained by him. It wouldn't be interesting if Changsha couldn't attack it now.
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but mutter: "Then if I am Zhou Yu, I am Zhou Yu's words-
"That's right!" The problems that plagued me all night were like a cloak in the flush toilet, and I was really happy when I suddenly got the toilet open.
I said loudly in the courtyard: "If I were Zhou Yu, I would definitely lead the army to implement Plan A first, the reason why he is in a hurry to occupy Luoxian Port now is not to attack Changsha now, let alone rely on Luoxian Port to block Liu Bei's reinforcements in the direction of Nanjun!" ”
Because it was still late at night, my sudden shouting startled me, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling the house were all attracted by me, and I waved at them in embarrassment, told them that it was all right, and went back to the house.
I was still overjoyed when I closed the door of the house, and I continued to think about it according to the ideas I had come up with before: from Luoxian to Jiangling, and then to the negotiations between the two sides, our army intercepted the Wu army, and the Wu army returned to Luoxian Port to fight Changsha, and this set will not come down for a month. When Zhou Yu returns to Luoxian Port, he will attack Changsha again, and he will have more than ten days under the city of Changsha. In other words, my previous gaffe in front of Changsha Wenwu was too embarrassing and worthless!
The lost face is about to be regained, just as my actions after being ridiculed by Xie Xian when I first arrived at Hanshou City made him respect me. Although Changsha City will have more than a month of peace, I don't want to wait for the arrival of the Wu army every day.
I smiled slightly, went to bed again and closed my eyes, but secretly decided in my heart: "Zhou Yu, don't you want to scare me?" Then I'll let you taste the price of scaring me! ”
