Chapter 57 Jiang Zhou guards Danyang
After Zhang Yi buried Zhou Yu, he immediately ordered Gan Ning to let his naval army advance east to prevent Sun Quan from going north to Guangling. Without Zhou Yu, Zhang Yi believes that Gan Ning can complete this task, although there are few generals in his navy, the quality is very high. One Gan Ning is enough to defeat the current Jiangdong naval army, not to mention that his own warships occupy an absolute advantage.
However, what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that not long after his order was issued, Tanma actually returned, and Sun Quan sent another army, thinking about the direction of Wuhu County. According to the banner, it should be Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
Zhang Yi still knows Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai very well, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, both of them are water thieves on the Yangtze River, and Sun Ce took refuge together. But in fact, this is not the case, both of them are from Jiujiang County, Jiang Qin is from Shouchun County, and Zhou Tai is from Xiacai County, they are all Sun Ce who took refuge in Sun Ce when he was in Shouchun, it can be said that Sun Ce's starting team is earlier than Zhou Yu.
Shouchun and Xia Cai are both counties near Huaishui, if they are really water thieves, they will not be on the river, but on the Huaishui.
Both of these men are fierce generals, and Zhou Tai may be better at brave martial arts, but Jiang Qin is more talented in commanding troops. And after that, he studied hard with Lu Meng and became a wise general.
But what Zhang Yi didn't understand was, why did Sun Quan send the two of them over? Are you here for reinforcements? The news of Zhou Yu's death should have been transmitted back, what is the use of sending reinforcements again? Come and snatch Wuhu? Wanling? Or Spring Valley? Or did you come to fight guerrillas? Just 2,000 people don't seem like enough, right? And the two of them didn't mean to hide it at all, so they swaggered over like this, what did they want to do?
Not only Zhang Yi was confused, but Li Jing didn't know that he was confused, Rao was very smart, and he didn't know what Sun Quan thought.
In fact, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were also confused, and they were still discussing who to surrender the day before, so why did they send them to attack Wuhu the next day? And just give them 2,000 soldiers and horses, isn't this sending them to death? They are loyal, but they are not stupid! This is a battle to the death!
Everyone didn't know that Sun Quan did this entirely because of Liu Dan's divination, and everyone thought that Sun Quan had been cornered to make such a stupid decision.
But there is someone who supports Sun Quan, that is Huang Gai, the veteran Huang Gai is a hardliner, and his deputy Sun He is also a hardliner, they are all fierce generals who followed Sun Jian to fight the world from the beginning. Their loyalty to the Sun clan is impeccable, so they are willing to fight to the end for the Sun clan.
But Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are different, they are loyal to the Sun family, but they are not yet in place to the point where the Sun family is sent to death. When they discussed surrender before, they had already begun to plan a retreat.
Jiang Qin is a smart man, he is half a speculator, he was optimistic about Sun Ce back then, so he took refuge in the Sun family, but now that the Sun family is not good, he definitely plans to leave the family. And Zhang Yi is a good family and occupies his hometown Shouchun.
Zhou Tai is a person who has no scheming, otherwise he would not have desperately protected Sun Quan, and he was seriously injured for him. But protection is one thing, death is another, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to kill himself.
"What the hell does the lord think? You want us to seize Wuhu? How can we beat Zhang Yi? Zhou Tai said very dissatisfied.
Jiang Qin replied: "I don't know, but I think the lord seems to be more inclined to take refuge in Zhang Yi when discussing the day?" ”
Zhou Tai looked at Jiang Qin suspiciously, "How is this possible?" Zhang Yi successively killed Sun Ben, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Sun ministers, how could the lord want to surrender to Zhang Yi? ”
"Zhu Junli's words!"
Zhu Junli is Zhu Zhi. Zhou Tai recalled Zhu Zhi's words at that time, and immediately understood that Sun Quan wanted to rely on his sister to take power from the beginning, and maybe there was a chance to make a comeback. But it still doesn't make sense, does it?
"Why does the lord still have to fight Zhang Yi?" Zhou Tai asked his last doubts.
Jiang Qin breathed a long sigh of relief, "I can't figure it out either, maybe it has something to do with Huang Gongfu!" Huang Gong overthrew the main battle, if he was born, how could the lord surrender to Zhang Yi? ”
Huang Gong covers, Huang Gai also!
The lord actually wants to get rid of the yellow cover? Zhou Tai was taken aback by this statement, Huang Gai is a third-generation minister, how can the lord be like this? But if this is not the case, why would the lord go to war? Only this statement makes sense.
Jiang Qin said: "Whether it is or not, we have to protect ourselves, and Danyang County is in front, and we will defend there." If we can't do anything, we will retreat to Jiangcheng and Hushu, and if we can't do it, we will retreat to Moling. ”
Zhou Tai struggled for a moment, he couldn't tell what Sun Quan was doing this for. If Jiang Qin's speculation is true, then it is time for him to leave Sun Quan as well. But once Jiang Qin's guess is wrong, he still has to serve Sun Quan! It's a bit hard to choose between loyalty and disloyalty.
"Okay!" Zhou Tai could only agree for the time being.
The two were stationed in Danyang, Danyang County is the origin of the name of Danyang County, but the seat of Danyang County is in Wanling County. Danyang is very close to the river, but there is no need to worry about the threat from the river, because it is separated from the river by Danyang Mountain. There is a large camp by the river, called Niuzhu, which is where Sun Ce crossed the river to attack Liu Xuan.
After stationing in Danyang, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai only managed to rectify the defense, and they had no intention of leaving the city at all.
Zhang Yi was also very surprised when he heard the report of Tanma! Could it be that Sun Quan sent them here to defend Danyang County? Wouldn't it be better to defend Hu Shu and other places? It was very close to the Dantu, so not only did it reduce the supply lines, but it also allowed each other to support each other, so it was more advantageous to hold on.
Zhang Yi also didn't have the heart to capture Danyang, he now wanted to complete the encirclement strategy, let Li Jing take Lei Xu to capture Wu County, and encircle Dantu from the east. Then he returned to Wanling and handed over Wuhu to Zhang Jing to guard. He doesn't need to fight, he just doesn't need to be broken by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
Zhang Yi also has something to do when he returns to Wanling, he needs to find Fan Lihua's family, that is, Fan Neng's family. After Danyang County was occupied by the Sun family, the Fan family also declined, but no matter what, Fan Lihua was implanted into the Fan family, and the Fan family was his relative.
No matter how strong Fan Lihua's temperament is, she is also a woman, and she always has a weak side.
Zhang Yi has always felt that when Fan Lihua is pregnant, it is very wrong to go out to fight. But the opportunity should not be missed, for the sake of the great cause, he can only choose this.
