Chapter 331: Situation
Since the birth of Huaxia Villa, the history of this world has changed, first Liu Bei was forced to teach in Zigui, which directly caused the miscarriage of the Battle of Yiling, which affected the final direction of the Three Kingdoms.
After the populations of Zigui and Yiling were absorbed by the Huaxia State and partially included in its jurisdiction, the direct consequence was to separate the two states of Wu and Shu, forming a strategic buffer zone.
As a result, Shu was a little helpless, and Wu was a little secretly happy, because there were not many ways out of Sichuan in Shu, and the Yangtze River was undoubtedly the most convenient and fast.
Shu's naval army was not as strong as Wu's, and Wu's foot combat was not as good as Shu's, so Wu had to place a force of troops and horses in Yilingtun to deal with the threat of Shu.
As an early warning, Zigui is a nail inserted in this steep riverbank, and if the naval army of Shu wants to attack Yiling safely, it must take Zigui down first.
Because if Zigui could not be taken, the ships attacking Yiling could be attacked from Zigui at any time, and in such a turbulent river, the defenders of Zigui only needed to put down wooden rafts or fire boats down the river, which could bring a deadly threat to the Shu ships preparing to land.
Moreover, if Zigui cannot be taken down, the supply line of grain and grass of the Shu army may be cut off at any time, and the supply of the soldiers in front will not be guaranteed.
But it is not a simple matter to take Zigui, the terrain of Zigui City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, the surging river is also the best thing to report.
A sneak attack is impossible, as long as the Zigui war is together, the Wu State Navy in the downstream can know that the war has taken place with all kinds of battlefield items that have rushed down from the upstream.
In two hours at most, Yiling's reinforcements will arrive, and then they may face a battle situation of being flanked from both sides.
In five hours at the earliest, the garrison of Jiangling City will know the news of the Shu army's attack, so as to prepare for the attack.
And Yiling's soldiers and horses only need to prevent the Shu army from landing in Yiling, and the powerful naval army of Wu can defeat the Shu army and not recover from it.
Therefore, Shu either did not come, or it came fiercely, using enough troops to consume the garrison strength of Wu in Yiling and Zigui, and occupying Yiling before the arrival of the Jiangling naval army to have the possibility of continuing the battle.
The strong appearance of Huaxia directly cut off the possibility of Shu sending troops from the Yangtze River, so Wu could ignore the threat of Shu in this direction and make every effort to deal with Wei.
After Shu cut off the way out of the Yangtze River, if it wanted to get out of Sichuan, it had to enter the territory of Wei from the north, thus forming a de facto situation of Wu Shu resisting Wei.
Therefore, Lu Xun did not feel that there was any loss in the possibility that Wu might lose jurisdiction over Yiling, but could free up his hands to strengthen the defenses of other places.
But the sudden arrival of Li Yan made him not know how to deal with it, because judging from the strength shown by the Huaxia Kingdom and the attitude of the president, he was not afraid of the three countries joining forces at all.
The strength that the three countries are not afraid of joining forces, how long can Wu State support it?
In Lu Xun's anxiety, Li Yan was sent to the general's mansion by the generals of Shuizhai.
Lu Xun looked at the high-spirited appearance of the former subordinates, and said: "Zhengfang, you and I have known each other for several years, and the whole country of Wu has treated you well, why do you want to abandon Wu?" ”
Li Yan stood at the bottom of the hall, his eyes staring at his former boss, sighed, and arched his hand and said, "Yan hereby thanked the general for his kindness.
Wu Guo treats me well, but it doesn't allow me to go further, and it can't indicate my future.
Ever since I followed the Lord, he has made me understand the path I should take in the future and what kind of future I am working for.
Therefore, it is not that I am treacherous, but that I have finally found my purpose in life, and I can give full play to my abilities and seek a future for the people of the world. ”
"The future? Target? Do you think you can still find a future and purpose in this troubled world? ”
"Troubled times? At the beginning of my lord's coming into this world, it means the end of troubled times.
Half a year ago, tens of thousands of Shu troops invaded the territory, and they were blocked back by the lord without spending a single soldier, and easily resolved a military disaster between Wu and Shu.
And today, I am on the orders of the lord to solve the problem between Wu and Wei. ”
"Solve the problem between Wu and Wei? A fairy like the president will also take care of our mortal affairs? ”
"According to the information we have received, there is a severe drought in the north this year, and there is no grass growing in many places, and displaced people are everywhere.
The Wei state had to deal with the changes in Xianbei in the north, and also suppressed the chaos of the displaced people in the territory.
However, the root cause of these things is the lack of food, and under the influence of natural disasters this year, the problem of food shortage in the north will become more serious before the next grain harvest season.
Under such circumstances, Wei had only two options, one was to use the war to consume Xianbei and its own population, so that the food and population could temporarily reach a balance, and at the same time solve the problem of Xianbei and its own food shortage.
The second is to lead the troubles to the south, expel the old, weak, sick and disabled people who are surrounded by the old, weak, sick and disabled to pour into Wu State, and hand over this problem to Wu State.
If Wu wanted to accept these displaced people, he had to consume a large amount of grain to sustain the lives of these displaced people before new grain came out.
If Wu does not live or die for these displaced people, the displaced people who have lost hope of survival will burn and loot, and may even shake the foundation of Wu State.
And no matter what choice Wu makes, it will consume a lot of national strength in the short term.
As long as Wei eases up and grabs these territories or grain and grass before the harvest in the coming year, all the efforts of Wu will be made into a wedding dress. ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy for Wei to expel those exiles, right? Why didn't those homeless people loot on the spot, and they had to travel a long way to rob our Wu country, wouldn't they be willing to seek the near and far? ”
