Chapter Eighty-Five: Cutting the Robe and Cutting the Righteousness, Cutting the Invention Will
PS: Golden Autumn October! Double Commuter Pass! Come! Smash me
The elite forces of Jiangdong were concentrated in three places, one of which was Chaisang, who was attacked and defeated by Liu Bei, the second was on the front line bordering Cao Thief in Lujiang County, and the third was in Wu County, Sun Quan's homeland.
Among the three, Wu Jun has the least troops, but it is the most elite man, and it is also the place that cannot be ignored.
After Liu Bei occupied Chaisang, he defeated Zhou Yu's army, at this time basically Lujiang County had no power to resist, and then Liu Bei sent Fu Zhu and Zhang He to lead an army of 1,000 to Yuzhang County, Chen Zhi and Tian Feng led an army of 1,000 east into Poyang County.
Kong Ming and Ma Liang followed closely in Yuzhang and Poyang to implement measures to reform Tuntian, crack down on stubborn local tyrants, and win over the forces close to the scholars, which also brought earth-shaking changes to the two counties, at least the people of the two counties were very useful and grateful to Liu Bei's lenient government and love for the people.
At this time, Liu Bei's elite soldiers had reached 18,000 people, and then Liu Bei ordered to recruit troops in Poyang and Yuzhang counties, and got more than 10,000 new soldiers, and some of them were included in non-combat troops such as the craftsman battalion and the Huotou army, and Liu Bei received a total of 10,000 new soldiers.
These recruits were interspersed under the troops of each general, and the veterans led the recruits, and at the same time concentrated on the training of Zhang He, Zhang Fei, and Chen to the three generals, and allocated 2,000 men to Tai Shici and Gan Ning to form the Han Naval Army, which was personally trained by Gan Ning.
In this short period and a half months, the situation in Jiangdong has undergone earth-shaking changes!
Although Liu Bei's army is only constantly training and has not yet sent out a single soldier, the high-level officials of Wu County and Dongwu have already lost their temperament, and instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack!
During the war of Eastern Wu, Wu Guolao was in charge of presiding, and he ordered Zhu Zhi to lead 10,000 elite soldiers from Fuchun to the Xindu area, and be on guard day and night to prevent Liu Bei's army from sneaking attack; He also ordered Zhu Ran to lead 15,000 elite soldiers to the area of Danyang Lincheng to garrison, and at the same time ordered the young general Zhu Huan to lead an army of 5,000 people to garrison in the area of Dingyang, so that a total of 30,000 horses.
At this time, the entire Soochow was relatively united. After all, although Liu Bei is menacing, his overall strength is relatively weaker than that of Jiangdong, and although he has fought some defeats, Jiangdong's main fighters still account for the vast majority. Among them, the Zhu family and the Zhang family should be the mainstay, and the literati should be dominated by Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.
In this regard, Liu Bei took Tian Feng's suggestion and ordered Guan Yu and Zhang He to be the main generals, and Ma Liangwei joined the army and led 8,000 elite soldiers to Poyang Le'an to garrison. Because Guan Yu has always been arrogant, Liu Beite gave Ma Liang the right to make arbitrary decisions to control Guan Yu, which made Ma Liang a little flattered; At the same time, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi were ordered to be the main generals, and Fu Zhi led 6,000 elite soldiers to the Lingyang area to confront Zhu Ran, the purpose of this place was to cut off and curb the contact between Zhu Ran and Zhu Zhi, and it was not suitable to take the initiative to attack, and it was suitable for defense.
And when all this was going on, Liu Bei ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander-in-chief and Pang Tong to be the overseer. And the generals Gan Ning and Lu Meng led 3,000 iron cavalry troops from Xunyang into the Lujiang River, along the line of Songzi, Wanxian, Xiang'an, and Liyang, galloping day and night, preparing to raid Moling!
Chaisang City, General Zuo's Mansion, above the main hall.
When this order was conveyed, almost all the officials in Chaisang City collectively opposed it, even Pang Tong, who recommended Zhou Yu and Lu Su at that time, also upheld the opposition! What's more, even Zhou Yu was taken aback.
The reason is very simple, these 3,000 iron cavalry are very crucial. Although Liu Bei's army is mighty on the surface, it is the iron cavalry army led by Zhou Yu that actually affects the outcome of the battle.
At this time, Zhou Yu's face was very uncomfortable. Faced with the uproar, Zhou Yu had no choice but to stand up, clasped his fists and said, "Lord! The end will definitely live up to expectations! ”
Zhou Yu was very firm, and there was a cold decisiveness in his words, a kind of resentment!
Liu Bei suddenly changed color and stood up. Turning into the main hall, he picked up Zhou Yu and said softly: "Gong Jin! It's normal for everyone to not believe you, and it's not normal for everyone to believe in you, but I, Liu Bei, believe in you, and I believe that you will never betray me! But the look you just had just made me feel uneasy. ”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently: "Why is the lord like this?" ”
Liu Bei patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and laughed: "It's very simple, because you are fighting with emotions!" In my eyes, Gong Jin is a handsome person who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account, rather than a general who is willful and swayed by emotions. It seems that I'm still in too much of a hurry, and you can't take on this important task yet. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he took a deep breath, Liu Bei's words contained too many meanings.
What is Handsome? What is Shoja?
What is it that everyone doesn't believe you're right? And what is it that alone I really trust you?
Zhou Yu was very clear about this, and after calming down, Zhou Yu arched his hand again and said: "Lord! Please leave this task to the last general, because this task can only be completed by the last general. ”
Liu Bei stared into Zhou Yu's eyes, and this time Liu Bei read composure from Zhou Yu's eyes!
"Why do you say that?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhou Yu turned to face the generals in the palace and said softly: "First, there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers of Eastern Wu in Lujiang County, if you go all out, ten dead and seven wounded, even if you go to Moling, you may not be able to take Moling, if you can't take Moling, General Guan and General Zhao will be defeated even if they are good at fighting!"
Second, the ancestral home of the last general is Lujiang, and he has been operating in Lujiang County for a long time, if the last general is the commander, these former subordinates are somewhat deterred, and even rely on the authority of the lord and a certain persuasion to take Lujiang County without blood, so that it can not only pacify Lujiang in the shortest possible time, but also reduce the loss of soldiers, why not? ”
Zhang Fei in the hall is this straight character, and directly interrupted: "I can't talk about you stupidly, but I know that once you kid turns the water and turns the spearhead to attack Chaisang, these three thousand iron horsemen can break Chaisang in an instant, no matter what, this thing must not happen!" ”
Zhang Fei said the key to the problem!
The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, walked to the side of the guard, and took out the guard's sword with a bang!
This move shocked everyone present, especially that Zhang Fei rushed straight to Zhou Yu almost at the same time as Zhou Yu drew his sword.
But after Zhou Yu took the sword, he just looked at it carefully and had no bad intentions, which made Zhang Fei stop, and at the same time, Hu Che'er next to Liu Bei moved his steps and got closer to Liu Bei.
If you talk about the art of war and strategy, ten Hu Che'er are not Zhou Yu's opponents, but if you talk about battlefield fighting, ten Zhou Yu tied together may not be able to refute one Hu Che'er! In this regard, Hu Cheer is very confident.
"Hey! What are you going to do, kid? Zhang Fei shouted angrily.
Liu Bei didn't stop him, he also wanted to know how Zhou Yu won the trust of the generals.
Zhou Yu stroked the blade of the sword with his hand, and the cold blade emitted a refreshing chill, and suddenly, Zhou Yu danced the bronze long sword with one hand, and with a snort, the brocade robe on his body was immediately cut off.
Followed by Zhou Yu knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The ancients had a saying of cutting robes and breaking righteousness, and today a certain person will follow suit, and from now on there will be no more to do with the Jiangdong Sun family, if you see you on the battlefield, you will definitely not show mercy!" ”
After that, Zhou Yu mentioned the three-foot Qingfeng again, a cold light appeared, and a wisp of green silk floated to the ground: "Zhou Yu made a military order here today, if he can't take the tomb for the lord, Yu will apologize with death!" ”
Death to apologize!
These words Zhou Yu almost gritted his teeth and popped out word by word, and such emotions instantly shocked the audience.
In the main hall, the birds were silent and silent for a long time.
Liu Bei sighed and stood up: "What else do you have to say now, if not, then it will be decided, Zhou Yu is the commander, Pang Tong is the overseer, Gan Ning and Lu Meng are the generals, and the troops will be led to raid Moling." ”
These generals immediately stood up and said loudly: "The last general obeys the order." ”
"Newspaper~"
At this moment, a rapid news from outside the hall struck, and a small official broke into the hall directly, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord! Correspondence. ”
Liu Bei waved his hand: "Present it." ”
The little official opened the bamboo tube, took out the silk letter, and handed it to the guards on the side, who took the letter and handed it to the lord Liu Bei.
Liu Bei opened the letter, looked at it, couldn't help but laugh a few times on his back, and praised: "Zizhong is really my blessed general!" ”
Zizhong, it is Mi Zhu! At this time, he was responsible for Liu Bei's commercial operations in the entire land of Shenzhou, and was responsible for the spy network investigation and espionage of intelligence information.
The content of the letter is actually very simple, Cao Cao moved many merchants and farmers to these places in order to stabilize Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou in the shortest possible time.
And Mi Zhu used these resources and original advantages to make the business to Cao Cao's henchmen, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, so that Liu Bei's intelligence network also successfully infiltrated Cao Cao's territory.
But some of these simple contents have a different meaning for Liu Bei! This advantage lies not only in intelligence and economics, but also in resources.
Liu Bei already had a plan in his mind, a plan that had never been realized, and the arrival of this letter just opened a door for Liu Bei.
This is a good start, and it can't be wasted in vain, so Liu Bei wrote a letter to Mi Zhu in Jingzhou, telling him to be safe first, and then arrange the task after gaining a firm foothold in the heart of the Cao thief.
Burning eyebrows in front of him, it should still be the top priority to eliminate Dongwu!
Liu Bei is very clear about this. (To be continued.) )
