The 321st episode of mountain rain is coming
(Yesterday on the first day, the bottle was beaten for a day off.) I didn't do anything, I just slept in bed for more than ten hours. )
――――――――――――――――――――
At the beginning of February of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao made a move to Jingzhou. However, Cao Cao is only sending a small vanguard now, and Cao Cao's main force has not moved...... It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to move, but once Cao Cao moves to the Jingzhou area, it will have to be an army of more than 100,000. And for an army of more than 100,000 troops, where can we organize the recruitment of troops and the preparation of money and food without corresponding time? It's really a game, a large number of troops and money and food can be mobilized if they are mobilized?
Again, Cao Cao has always attached great importance to domestic economic production. It is now the beginning of spring in February, and it is the most critical time for spring ploughing, and Cao Cao does not want to prepare troops at this time and destroy the spring ploughing plan. In the original history, Cao Cao only launched an attack on Jingzhou in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Jian'an...... Of course, this is also related to the fact that Liu Biao was supposed to die of illness in the summer of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, but now that Liu Biao died in the spring, Cao Cao has no reason to let go of such an opportunity.
Therefore, Cao Cao's current arrangement is to launch a harassing attack on Jingzhou with a small number of elite troops under the condition of ensuring spring ploughing in the territory, and the main purpose is to further disrupt the situation in Jingzhou with offensive battles, to put it simply, to make Liu Bei exhausted, so that Liu Bei has no time to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou.
"So the time when Lao Cao really attacked Jingzhou should be around the beginning of summer this year, that is, after the spring plowing work in his territory has been completed, roughly calculated, it should be around April."
This is the conclusion reached by Lu Ren and Liu Ye after repeated discussions. These two are all characters who have mixed under Cao Cao, and Lu Ren can be said to be the first person in civil affairs under Cao Cao back then, so it is not too simple to calculate this matter.
And next, what kind of battles will be fought in Jingzhou, Lu Ren doesn't know. Even if Lu Ren wants to correct the corresponding time difference, it doesn't seem that Lu Ren can do it if he wants to, unless Lu Ren is full and has nothing to do with his own fleet to harass the coast of Cao Cao's northern region, but one is that it is difficult to say whether there is any effect if he does that, and the other is that there are all areas where Lu Ren sells goods to make money, but for the sake of the time difference of these few months, he really feels that there is no need to think about it.
Imagine further that in the original historical process, Lao Cao took Jingzhou almost without much effort, and the main reason was the surrender of Liu Cong and Cai Mao. And now that Liu Cong and Cai Mao were driven out of Xiangyang by Liu Bei, it was impossible for Liu Bei to surrender to Cao Cao, which means that if Cao Cao wanted to take Jingzhou, he would inevitably have a series of battles with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's heels are not yet able to stand firm, and it is obviously impossible to beat Cao Cao back to the north, but once the battle starts, the plan can still be dragged out for a few months, which means that Lu Ren is likely to do nothing here, and by the time Cao Cao takes Jingzhou and prepares to attack Eastern Wu, its approximate time should still be basically consistent with the original time period of the Battle of Chibi. If that's the case, Lu Ren only needs to make a little fine-tuning here. And with this kind of fine-tuning, Lu Ren believes that he can do it.
Thinking about this, Lu Ren decided to take a non-caring attitude towards the situation in Jingzhou for the time being. On the other hand, Liu Bei's temporary occupation of Jingzhou will definitely lead to some battles with Cao Cao, so it is believed that many people on the Jingzhou side will leave Jingzhou to escape the war, which is a good opportunity for Lu Ren to absorb the population from the Central Plains again. Xu Shu had already rushed to Quanzhou with a group of people two days ago, and at the same time, he would set up a station in Guangzhou according to Lu Ren's setting, in order to meet the refugees who fled from the Jingzhou area.
The general arrangements are basically in place. In the past short period of time, Lu Ren's mind has always been very restless, and he has not bothered to pay attention to other things. Now that he saw that he had done this, Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief......
――――――――――――――――――――
In the Yangtze River waterway, Mi Zhen's fleet is moving forward rapidly.
Mi Zhen was also scared of the previous incident in Xiangyang. In fact, to be honest, Mi Zhen herself is not a person who is afraid of things, but Mi Zhen has her own concerns and concerns. For example, Yizhou Mi can be said to be Mi Zhen on top, and at the moment, except for her Mi Zhen, basically no one can speak in front of Lu Ren; On the other hand, if there is any accident in Jingzhou, with Lu Ren's temper, there is a chance that he will turn his face with Liu Bei, and Lu Ren and Liu Bei will turn his face with Mi Zhu.
In this case, if he has an accident in Jingzhou, the Mi clan in Yizhou will have no one to rely on, and at the same time, Lu Ren and Mi Zhu will turn their faces, and the Mi clan on Mi Zhu's side will also lose outside help, which will be very disadvantageous to the clan.
It is precisely because of these concerns and worries that Mi Zhen did not hesitate after being released, and hurriedly swept the goods around and led the team to return home, and walked very fast on the road, even the original plan to stop in Chaisang for exchange was canceled. But as the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Mi Zhen does not want to stop in Chaisang, but some people hope that Mi Zhen can stay in Chaisang for a few days......
"Madam, there are many warships blocking the way in the waterway ahead!"
"What-!?"
After finally leaving Jingzhou, Mi Zhen's heart, which had just been put down, suddenly became nervous again. Although Lu Ren couldn't tell Mi Zhen everything, what he should tell Mi Zhen didn't miss anything, so Mi Zhen knew very well that the relationship between Lu Ren, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong was very delicate. Now he is Lu Ren's man, and he made a trip to Jingzhou, but when he returned, he was stopped by Jiangdong's fleet...... Let's take a look at it first.
Fortunately, Mi Zhen is also a person who has seen wind and waves, and although she is nervous in her heart, she quickly calmed down. Mi Zhen knew that Jiangdong's fleet stopped her fleet like this, not necessarily because she was really looking for trouble, because the relationship between Lu Ren and Sun Quan on the surface seemed to be good after all.
And now is a sensitive period, if Sun Quan really makes a move against Mi Zhen, it is tantamount to directly turning his face against Lu Ren. And Sun Quan will soon face a strong opponent like Cao Cao, most of whom don't want to have a fire in his backyard, and after provoking Lu Ren, Lu Ren will rape his chrysanthemum.
Of course, Sun Quan may also want to take Mi Zhen down as a hostage, but in that case, Sun Quan will not be easy to explain to the world in many things, because it will appear that Sun Quan is unreasonable, untrustworthy and unrighteous, to put it bluntly, it is the same nature as when Lu Ren did not take Sun Shangxiang as a hostage. To put it mildly, Sun Quan is willing to give up his sister when necessary, will Lu Ren be reluctant to have a wife when necessary?
In the final analysis, this is just a woman, so what is there to be reluctant with the concept of people at that time? Besides, Mi Zhen has a strong temperament, if you really commit suicide after being taken hostage, you Sun Quan will be ready to hehe.
Thinking of this, Mi Zhen walked to the deck and looked at the Soochow fleet that was blocking her way. took out the binoculars and took a closer look, and the corners of Mi Zhen's mouth hung a few smiles, and she secretly said in her heart: "I guessed right, these people are not here to trouble me." Yes, something like that happened in Jingzhou just a few days ago, and Jiangdong has been playing Jingzhou's idea again, so it is impossible not to receive any news. In contrast, I am a person who knows some inside information, and Zhou Yu came to me to inquire about internal information. ”
Why is it Zhou Yu? Because Mi Zhen saw Zhou Yu's figure on the handsome boat opposite, and even saw Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao. If there is really a war, where is the reason to bring all your wives on the ship? Is it true that there will be female soldiers on the Jiangdong side like Yizhou? There will be female soldiers in Yizhou, and it's a helpless thing, okay?
Mi Zhen ran business on the Yangtze River waterway not once or twice, and stayed in Chaisang a lot of times, and Zhou Yu and his wife can be called old friends. And now Zhou Yu led a team to stop Mi Zhen, but he deliberately brought Xiao Qiao on the boat, the meaning is very clear, that is, he didn't want Mi Zhen to misunderstand, and Xiao Qiao came forward to invite Mi Zhen to Chaisang as a guest.
Although she understands this, Mi Zhen is actually very unhappy in her heart. After being in Xiangyang for a while, I didn't want to stay in Chaisang when I returned to the flight, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Chaisang for three or five days. Although Zhou Yu may not be able to stop Mi Zhen if he really wants to stop him, don't think Mi Zhen's fleet has no combat effectiveness at all, but if the two sides really do it, this Nima can't be justified in theory.
Out of helplessness, Mi Zhen could only accept Zhou Yu's "invitation" to sit in Chaisang. However, there was still some time before landing, so Mi Zhen seized this time and hurriedly took another telegram to Lu Ren.
After Lu Ren received the telegram, he was angry and funny. Zhou Yu would have such a movement, Lu Ren didn't think it was strange, and it could even be said that it would be strange if Zhou Yu didn't move, so Lu Ren had made a little preparation before. Now that Mi Zhen took a telegram, Lu Ren immediately asked Shirley to call Mi Zhen back, and asked Mi Zhen to tell Zhou Yu all the information she knew about Jingzhou, but at the same time, she also asked Mi Zhen to warn Zhou Yu and let Zhou Yu not fight Jingzhou at this time. If Zhou Yu asked why he didn't want to attack Jingzhou, he responded to Zhou Yu and said, "Cao Cao has already gone south, if Wu Hou attacks Jingzhou, how can he compete with Cao Gong." Anyway, there are so many words, and let Zhou Yu think about the rest by himself. Besides, if Mi Zhen is asked to speak in too much detail, it will make Zhou Yu feel wrong. After all, Mi Zhen is not like the kind of person who can make any strategic judgments...... (To be continued.) )
