111 Five wins and seven defeats

In the seventh year of Jian'an, in July 202 AD, after He Chen's three-way army formed a siege of Jiangling, Liu Biao had to surrender the city. After more than ten years of painstaking management of the Jingzhou forces, once falling apart, Liu Biao finally swallowed the bitter fruit of being transferred to Jizhou and being a carefree marquis, and withdrew from the Central Plains sequence.

Liu Biao dedicated the city, and his forces were divided into two, some surrendered obediently, and some ran to Chibi and took refuge in Liu Bei. For those who surrendered, such as Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and other people with real talents and hard work, He Chen did not remember the previous suspicions and entrusted them with important tasks, as for the lack of ink in his belly, he would only climb the wall grass of the powerful and noble, then it would not be so polite, just find some reasons, the depreciation of the depreciation, the exile of the exile.

In August, the reorganized Northern Army, 500,000 horses, slaughtered towards Chibi, and looked across the river from Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops. At the same time, Zhao Yun's 100,000 horses swept away the leaves with the autumn wind, sweeping the four counties of Wuling, Lingling, Changsha and Guiyang in Jingnan. Almost as soon as the soldiers arrived, the county gate was wide open, and a long queue of high-ranking officials formed behind the city gate, honestly, respectfully surrendering the city.

Seeing the fall of Jingzhou, Sun Jian took the opportunity to send troops to Peng Ze, and the navy went up the river to fight Xiakou, completely united with Liu Bei, gathered a total of 150,000 sailors, and launched a duel with He Chen in Chibi.

Due to the occupation of Jingzhou, countless warships were found, the whole up and down the river, all of them were dense warships, and the navy Dazhai connected more than ten on the sea, extending from Wulin Ferry to Shiyang Ferry, the momentum was boundless.

And Sun Jian took the Yangtze River as the line of defense, and the naval army gathered at Sanjiangkou and Xiakou, together with Liu Bei of Chibi, and waited for battle.

Looking at this situation, it is a living remake of the "Battle of Red Cliffs", but He Chen has replaced Cao Ying.

Regarding the surrender of Liu Biao after Jingzhou was besieged, the entire Jiangdong also caused a 12-magnitude earthquake, and the same main surrender and main battle were based on their own words. It's just that unlike Liu Biao, Sun Jian was born in martial arts, he was resolute in killing, and he was ambitious, so it was naturally impossible to give away his foundation in vain. In addition, a group of henchmen and generals Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and others fought the main battle, which strengthened his confidence.

Sanjiangkou.

Sun Jian, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others discussed the military aircraft.

Although Sun Jianxian was confident in front of the soldiers, under these two right-hand men, he opened his heart, spat heavily, and said in a worried voice: "He Jun's million-strong army went south to the Yangtze River, and even fought successively, and now it is forcing Liu Biao to surrender, so that we have lost a big help, and now the army is pressing into the Wulin area, collecting boats, training sailors, and preparing to cross Chibi and Sanjiangkou in the south." Now there is a strong internal shake in me, morale is low, the people are dismayed, the clamor for surrender is very high, and at least more than half of them are looking for a way out. Faced with such a situation, I don't know how the two of you can solve it? ”

Zhou Yu, a beautiful man, is very handsome and chic, his face is like a full moon, his eyebrows are like a long sword, his eyes are like a star, and his lips are like foam. An out-and-out handsome guy who kills both men and women, young and old. It is recorded in history that when Zhou Yu, a handsome boy, once went out on the street, two women fainted on the street with excitement because of the inadvertent glance of this beautiful man. Regardless of whether this historical story is true or false, it can still be seen from Zhou Yu's charm.

Zhou Yu is not only handsome, but also rich in five cars, only eight buckets high, and he is also a must for music and rhythm. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was appointed as the governor of the capital at the age of 23 and commanded all the naval armies of Eastern Wu. Although there is no such record in history, Zhou Yu's ability is beyond doubt, especially when Sun Ce said to Sun Quan on his deathbed, "Ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs", which pushed him to the height of admiration.

Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms, in terms of force, Lu Bu deserves it. In terms of strategy, Jia Xu is the first to recommend, this poisoner can prosper the country with one word and bring disaster to the country with one word. In terms of military talent, Guo Jia is unyielding. When the ghost was there, Cao Ying destroyed Yuan Shu, captured Lu Bu, leveled Yuan Shao, swept Karasuma, and unified the north, how majestic. As soon as Guo Jia left, the Chibi fire occurred the next year, which not only burned Cao Ying's eternal nightmare, but also burned into a helpless situation in the world. In terms of internal affairs ability, if Zhuge Liang is called second, no one dares to rank first. Chen Shou said a word in the Three Kingdoms, and Guan Xiaozhi also ...... It means that even Guan Zhong and Xiao He can't compare to him. But when it comes to marching and fighting, and the ability to command and deploy, Zhou Yu is definitely the first person in the Three Kingdoms. Passed down through the ages, the famous "burning of red cliffs" in Chinese history was carried out under the overall command of Zhou Yu. As for Zhuge Liang, it is undeniable that he has also made great contributions, but it is only in the combination of vertical and horizontal diplomacy to promote the Sun-Liu alliance.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, although He Jun is fierce and claims to be millions, but in the eyes of his subordinates, he is as vulnerable as a chicken." Zhou Yu had a warm smile on his face, revealing a strong sense of confidence.

"Oh? What's the wisdom of the public? As soon as Sun Jian heard this, his spirit immediately rose and he said excitedly.

Zhou Yu said confidently: "First of all, the northern army claims to be one million, which is really an exaggeration, when He Chen went south, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and each led 100,000, and now Zhao Yun has led another 100,000 to attack Jingnan, and in addition to guarding the various passes, at most only three or four hundred thousand, this is one of them." Second, the Northern Army came from afar and fought several fierce battles with Liu Biao, and it was already in a state of exhaustion, and its combat effectiveness was less than half of that of peacetime. Thirdly, the northern army was accustomed to the dry climate of the north, but it was uncomfortable with the humid weather in the south, and it would not be long before there would be more diseases in the army; Fourth, although He Jun can fight well, most of them are soldiers on land, and if they really want to get to the ship, they are really vulnerable; Fifth, the army of Ho has such a long front and has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as we are isolated by the Yangtze River, we will retreat because of lack of food for a long time. Sixth, He Chen even destroyed Cao Ying and Liu Biao, which is already an arrogant soldier, let me ask the past and present, how can there be a reason for the arrogant soldiers to be undefeated? Seventh, He Chen coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which was morally unpopular, and although the saints, including the hundred officials of Chang'an, echoed it on the surface, they were dissatisfied in their hearts. With so many flaws, can He Chenyan be undefeated?

Zhou Yu's seven defeats, Sun Jian's eyes lit up when he listened, he nodded frequently, his face was sad, and he felt like he was pulling out the clouds and seeing it.

"Contrary to He Chen's seven defeats, our army has five victories." In order to consolidate Sun Xin's heart, Zhou Yu then threw out another remark that he had been preparing for a long time.

"Oh? What are the five victories of our army? Sun Jian at this moment is a drowning child, desperately trying to catch the straw that saves his life.

"First of all, our army occupies a favorable position, and the Yangtze River is the strongest outer defense line of our army, as long as we make good use of this, He Chen's hundreds of thousands of horses will not want to cross the thunder pool one step. Secondly, although our army is only 100,000, it is an elite division, and it trains on the water all the year round. Third, our army should be ready for work, and the materials, grain, and grass should be prepared sufficiently, and the soldiers and soldiers of the reserve government can also support them at any time at critical moments. Fourth, although He Chen incorporated the personnel of Liu Biao's troops, plus the original Cao lineage, Yuan lineage, Yellow Turban line, and the former ministers who started with him, the distribution of power will inevitably be unbalanced, which will cause inefficiency, transfer and trouble, and pass the buck to each other. Fifth, He Chen has become an arrogant soldier, but our army is a mourning army, and when the boat is broken, it is inevitable that the three armies will take their lives and fight to the death first. ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Jian stood up excitedly, rubbed his palms together with his hands, and stomped back and forth: "The words of the public made the general suddenly open, like an empowerment, and his confidence was greatly increased." In this case, General Ben will order you to be the governor of the city, command 100,000 Jiangdong naval troops, and preside over all military affairs. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Zhou Yu saluted respectfully and accepted the order without hesitation.

"It's just that the subordinates are young and have shallow resumes, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Zhou Yu is also a clever and exquisite heart, knowing that he is most afraid of not being able to work together, and he has only been in Jiangdong for a few years, and his position is not stable, especially when he started with Sun Jian, he is an old minister, and he usually has a lot of subtle words. So at this critical time, Zhou Yu didn't care about anything, and faintly instructed Sun Jian something.

Sun Jian is also an old man, just a simple sound, he knew Zhou Yu's intentions, he nodded, decisively untied the sword on his side, and then handed it to Zhou Yu, with a solemn face: "This is the general's sword, since you are the governor of the capital, you will command the three armies, if anyone disagrees, you can take out this sword, if you don't accept it, you can cut it first." ”

Zhou Yu was in a hurry, he originally just wanted to knock Cheng Pu and Han Dang as an old minister, but he didn't expect Sun Jian to be so decisive and sharp, and even gave himself the right to cut first and then play, obviously after his own persuasion, he had already made up his mind and decided to fight with He Chen to break the net.

Zhou Yu solemnly took the sword and said, "Thank you for the grace of the lord." ”

After doing this, Zhou Yu threw out another thing and said: "Lord, I just received a news from Linhai, He Chen sent about 5,000 soldiers to go deep into the coastal area of our rear and wantonly sabotage and attack, and several county towns have been affected, among which hundreds of carts of grain and grass that Linhai just collected were burned by a fire. ”

"Bastard." Sun Jian said with some anger: "What's the matter, how did He Chen land on the coast?" What did Yu turn this guy for, such an important thing, how could it be done like this? ”

Zhou Yu comforted Sun Jian and said: "The lord is angry, he is not to blame for this matter, no one would have expected that He Chen would send a partial division deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong." can order the Huiji Taishou Yu to gather the soldiers, bite it tightly, and then order the Dongyang Taishou Zhou Yi to encircle and suppress together. ”

Sun Jian's anger eased a little at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "It's according to the public's opinion." ”

Just as the three of them continued to discuss the matter, a soldier suddenly came in and reported: "Report to the lord, our army has a Northern Army warship on the Xiakou River, about 100 light ships, more than 30 Mengchong fighting boats, and one large building ship. The two deputy generals, Zhou Tai and Tan Xiong, asked their subordinates to come to report and ask the lord to decide. ”
