Chapter 438: Hearing the Sound and Moving
Chu and Han suddenly underwent drastic changes, and the situation was reversed in half a month, and at the same time as Liu Bei marched into Jiangling, Jiangzuo's Eastern Wu could not sit still. When he first heard of the changes in Chu and Han, Sun Quan, the king of Wu in Jianye, immediately convened the civil and military forces to discuss Jing and Hunan affairs.
Under Sun Quan's rule, although the Eastern Wu was much less offensive than in the time of his father and brother, he still had huge and strong ambitions for the Chu and Han in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
In the past few years since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the Wu State was "harmonious", and the third monarch of the Sun family also got along well with the relationship between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong family. When the hearts of the people were all towards Sun Quan and agreed with him as the king of Wu, Sun Quanfang slowly took over the power from the hands of auxiliary ministers such as Huanjie and Zhang Zhao and became pro-government.
succeeded to the throne in the year of the weak crown, and Sun Quan has also shown his heroic posture in recent years. The most angry person is to pay the military power to Zhou Yu and make his main conquest. Since entering the Sun Quan era, the army of Eastern Wu has slowly formed two parts: the elite of water and land under the command of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the Jianye Chinese Army. And Sun Quan added a governor of the Chinese and foreign military to Zhou Yu's title, which was to give the power of the Chinese army.
In the face of Sun Quanfu's great trust, although Zhou Yu accepted it, he did not have the slightest intention of getting involved in Jianye's "Central Army". In the past two years, Sun Quan has quietly promoted senior generals such as LĂź Meng, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Ding Feng, and Pan Zhang in the army, and Zhou Yu has cooperated very well to assist him in strengthening the influence of King Wu in the army.
The two ministers have cooperated very tacitly in the past two or three years.
Sun Quan consulted with the ministers, and after discussing for a long time, he did not come up with a result. In the end, I had to write to ask Zhou Yu who was outside. In the past two years, Zhou Yu personally went out and led Jiang Qin, He Qi and other generals to suppress, caress and force, and descend to Shanyue, which lasted for a whole year, and hundreds of thousands of mountain people were moved to Tuntian, Dongwu County.
Jane its elite and strong ten thousand into an army, in order to attack the south, these perennial with the mountains and forests as a companion, running between the poor mountains and bad waters, with the south of the mountains and mountains and attack the state, it is indeed much better.
After being fully prepared, under the strong promotion of Zhou Yu, Wu launched a strategy against Jiaozhou in the autumn of last year. Although there are many inconveniences in the south, the mountains and rivers are blocked, and the miasma poisonous insects are ravaging, but after breaking through to the territory of Jiaozhou, it is much easier to fight than to fight Chu Han.
Zhou Yu personally commanded the army and cooperated with Jiangdong generals and talents, which could not be resisted by Jiaozhou, which had few soldiers and few people. From Luling, Huiji two counties soldiers divided into two roads and entered Jiaozhou, from east to west attack, Wu army is like a bamboo, successive victories, swept the state.
Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju intended to resist, and fought with the forward of the Wu army led by Jiang Qin, and was destroyed in the first battle. Jiaozhou is basically under the control of the Shixie brothers, and Zhou Yu's target is the Shijia.
After half a year, most of the cities in Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, and Hepu counties were occupied by the Wu army, and none of the captured Shixie brothers were killed. Considering Shi Xie's great prestige in Jiaozhou, Zhou Yu did not continue to use troops to attack Jiaozhi, and he had the heart to persuade him to surrender. If he can win Shixie's surrender, it will be of great benefit to Sun Wu to establish rule in Jiaozhou, and only suppressing him with strong troops is not conducive to his long-term peace and stability.
It also cost a lot of national strength to fight Jiaozhou, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu didn't want to get an erosive Jiaozhou.
The urgent inquiry document from Jianye made Zhou Yu speed up the forced surrender of Shixie. The reply to Sun Quan was very clear, attacking Chu. missed this time, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to get a little bit of Jinghan land. Liu Bei is not a person easy to deal with, Zhou Yu knows in his heart that Cai Mao is just a dead person, if Liu Bei is allowed to stabilize Chu and Han, it will be even more difficult for Eastern Wu to enter the west.
And Zhou Yu advocated attacking Jiaozhou, and he also had the intention of attacking Chu Han on both sides, but he never thought that Liu Biao would stay up for so long, and he would die if he said that he would die, and it came suddenly. Before Sun Wu pacified Jiaozhou for his own use, he had to turn his focus on.
With Zhou Yu's attitude here, Sun Wu's re-expedition to the west is almost a foregone conclusion.
......
Cao Wei, who dominated the Central Plains, was also faced with a choice when the north and south of the world were surging.
Another two years have passed, and Cao Cao has obtained more than ten counties in Nanyang, and has gotten rid of the big burden of Luoyang, Henan, and this time focuses on "cultivating internal strength". There is no war outside, but the internal stability is stable, and the development of Cao Wei in the Central Plains has been on the rise.
And Cao Cao, not long ago, was still lamenting that Yuan Shao left early, and he was very emotional. After all, he is an "old brother", and the death of Yuan Shao also made Cao Cao inevitably feel sad about the inexorable passage of time. He Cao Cao has been on the road all these years, overcoming thorns and thorns, and he has also reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his temples are also gray hair.
However, Boss Cao, who can shout "Lao Ji is in the bush, has a thousand miles of ambition", was in a fast mood and quickly set his sights on the land of Hebei. Yuan Tan, who fled to Qingzhou, sent a message to ask his uncle Cao Cao to send troops to "arbitrate" and crusade against the puppet Zhao Emperor Yuan Shang.
Such a good opportunity, Cao Cao was tempted when he first heard about it. However, before the ministers were convened, a result was discussed, and the changes in Chu and Han also came, and now, Cao Wei Junchen was entangled.
The ministers of Wei were divided into two factions, going north and south, each insisting on one word. Cao Cao also had a headache, the wealth of Hebei made him greedy, and he was afraid of taking chestnuts from the fire. Chu and Han are the same, but the northern army is not accustomed to the south water, and the situation in the south is more complicated, Liu Bei is not good to follow, although Chu is chaotic, it is not as easy to profit as it seems on the surface.
After thinking about it solemnly for a few days, Cao Cao still made a decision to attack Chu for the second time. If you don't attack Zhao, it's still the same old problem, with Hu Xia in the west, the national policy of Lian Zhao to resist Xia cannot be easily changed, unless he can really destroy Jing Yang, otherwise it will not be his Wei State that will benefit in the end.
And this time to attack Chu, Cao Cao decided to really unite with Sun Wu to attack Liu, no matter how to divide the spoils after the war, first destroy the state of Chu. As soon as Wei envoy arrived at Jianye, Wu Wang Sun Quan heard about it, and almost hit it off. As for Cao Cao's defeat of Sun Jian in Jiujiang and the old grievances of the Wu army's loss of troops and generals, they were all tacitly ignored by both parties.
It didn't take long for Cao Cao to be a little glad that he didn't rush to participate in the struggle between the Yuan and Zhao brothers, that is, a poison coated in honey.
The news from the north was not slow, Yuan Tan called the king of Qi in Linzi, counted Yuan Shang's "no way", and raised the flag to crusade against Yuan Shang. The momentum was not small, and it was flattened in less than three days.
What Yuan Shang wants is Yuan Tanzhi's blatant rebellion, and he is a good teacher and famous. The action was very fast, and under the planning of Sima Yi and other courtiers, Yuan Tan had already prepared a net of heaven and earth. As soon as Yuan Tan moved, the thunder blow was immediate, especially the backlash of Jiao Touch, which Yuan Tan trusted very much, made him perish before he even came out of Linzi.
In Linzi, there was a chaos, and Yuan Tan died in the chaos, and I don't know which pawn took his head.
That's all for today, try to finish this book in 10 chapters, and I don't want to go down at all.
